Chapter 360: Memories of Hometown
Chapter 360: Memories of Hometown Li Qing finally set foot on the land of Gangbei again, and he had been away from his hometown for nearly ten years.
However, his hometown has long been a matter of fact, and what is presented in front of Li Qing is more like a cold and strange city. The endless reinforced concrete buildings are like ferocious monsters, as if they want to swallow people alive.
"Thankfully, I'm not here to be nostalgic. Li Qing said silently in his heart, "I'm here to take revenge." ”
Lin Qiuqiu was sitting next to Li Qing, busy answering the phone, peeking at Li Qing's face from time to time, and his expression was inexplicable.
Finally explained the last thing, put down the phone, Lin Qiuqiu said to Li Qing: "I have a meeting with the representatives of Gangbei in the afternoon, do you plan to come together, or do you do something else?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any trouble?"
"It's okay, Lin Ying didn't come over to stir up the water, everything is easy to say. Lin Qiuqiu said with a smile, "You go and go about your own business, I'll call you after the meeting." ”
"Young Master Lin should be happy now. Li Qing said with a smile, and then told Lin Qiuqiu very seriously, "Then you should be careful." ”
Lin Qiuqiu nodded: "Don't worry, there is still Lao Huo." ”
"Yo, I forgot about him. Li Qing said with a smile, Huo Yi, who was sitting in the front row, had nothing to do with him except for throwing the back of Li Qing's head as a silent resistance.
Li Qing got out of the car in the designated block, waved at Lin Qiuqiu in the car, and watched her leave in the car, only then did he put his hands in his trouser pockets and paced slowly along the sidewalk on the side of the street.
The greenery in the north of the port is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and the big trees on both sides of the road have been decades old and grow lushly. The good environment seems to be a major feature of Lingang, but in recent years, with more and more prosperous buildings and buildings, the green in these cities is decreasing year by year.
Although he has not been here for many years, Li Qing is still familiar with the roads in Gangbei, and although there are many changes in buildings, he still remembers every street he rode his bicycle through.
I walked along the sidewalk all the way in, walked to the bus stop and took a bus, and after about half an hour's drive, Li Qing stood in the narrow alleys of Gangbei City.
The quaint buildings here are the original appearance of the north of the port and the most primitive style. It's just that this style is now out of place, and sooner or later, it will be replaced by reinforced concrete.
Li Qing didn't think this was a bad thing, some old things had to be metabolized, and the Li family was the same.
Stepping on the moss-covered stone pavement, Li Qing turned a few alleys and stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden door.
After a moment's hesitation, he raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
After waiting for a while, it was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard who came to open the door, and looked at Li Qing quite suspiciously: "You are..."
"Uncle Wan, I'm Li Qing. ”
"Li Qing?" the middle-aged man's face was full of confusion, and he suddenly recalled, his eyes widened in astonishment, "Li Qing? It's not already..."
"It's already dead, right?" Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked, "Is Xiao Wan at home?"
"I didn't expect you to come back. Uncle Wan calmed down for a moment, the stunned expression on his face slowly converged, turned sideways, and gave way inside, "Come in, Xiao Wan is inside, he will be very happy to see you." ”
"Hmm. Nodding, Li Qing squeezed into the narrow door and walked in behind Uncle Wan, his pace was still steady, but his expression was a little excited.
The Xiao Wan in Li Qing's mouth is his sworn friend in high school, Wanfu.
In Li Qing's impression, Xiao Wanzi is not tall, and he is quite well-behaved when he laughs, but he is very good at beating people, and he is surprisingly ruthless. It belongs to the well-behaved students in the eyes of the teacher, and the social youth in the eyes of the classmates. As for his cheesy name, according to himself, it comes from his father's time watching the play, and he can always hear the phrase "Wanfu Jin'an" in the play, which is good, and he directly took it when he was born.
Xiaowanjia is not in a good situation, but he didn't have the slightest flattery when he got along with Li Qing at that time, which is commendable. The two have always been known as good brothers, although Li Qing sometimes feels that Xiao Wan likes to play with him, and I am afraid that he also has some relationship with Mu Rouer. After all, Mu Rou'er, who is like a fairy, no young person will not like it, so naturally he will do everything he can to get closer.
And Li Qing at that time was the thin line that brought the relationship closer. But later, Mu Rouer officially became Li Qing's girlfriend, which broke the hearts of many infatuated young men in the school, and Xiao Wan never saw Xiao Wan show admiration for Mu Rouer.
Anyway, Xiao Wan, a brother, is doing a competent job, so that people can't find the slightest fault. If it weren't for the accident on the day of the graduation banquet, Li Qing's parents died in an inexplicable car accident, Xiao Wan is likely to have become Li Qing's right-hand man by now.
If Li Qing has the only good memories left in Gangbei, except for Mu Rou'er, I am afraid that only Xiao Wan is left. Mu Rou'er's situation was too complicated, and it was not an accident that Li Qing chose to visit Xiao Wan first after returning to Gangbei.
"Uncle Wan, what is Xiao Wan doing now?" Li Qing asked casually.
"What can he do at home? Uncle Wan sighed and said, and then shouted into the low room: "Xiao Wan! Xiao Wan! Look who is coming!"
"Ah, here we are. ”
Li Qing heard a slightly familiar sound, and then there was a gurgling sound of wheels rolling, and a wheelchair appeared at the door.
The young man in the wheelchair has a sallow face, he has long lost his vigor, and the edges and corners of his body have long been smoothed out by the world, and his eyes reveal surrender and helplessness to the world.
"Xiao Wan?" Li Qing's body froze suddenly, and an unprecedented sense of panic suddenly spread to his whole body, is this what he will face when he returns to his homeland? Why is this the case? Could it be that things are people, not people, and life is a foregone conclusion?
The moment he raised his eyes to see Li Qing, Xiao Wan's whole face was completely stunned: "Li Qing? You're not dead?"
Li Qing took two steps forward, but still couldn't hide the astonishment in his eyes: "What's wrong with your leg?"
"Alas, it was interrupted. Uncle Wan sighed, "I still have work outside, I'll go and get busy first, and you two will talk slowly." ”
Saying that, Uncle Wan turned around and left, leaving only two people, one standing under the jujube tree in the narrow courtyard, and the other sitting in a wheelchair in a low room, looking at each other, unable to say a word for a long time.
After a long time, Xiao Wan moved his wheelchair and said with a smile: "Li Qing, it's good that you are still alive." They said you were missing, and everyone thought you would never come back. ”
Seeing that Li Qing was still in a daze, Xiao Wan beckoned to him: "Come in." ”
Nodding, Li Qing walked into the room. Xiao Wan had already pulled a chair and put it aside, stretched out his hand and patted it: "The house is dirty, make do with it." Anyway, you sat there back then, so I don't think you will dislike it?"
"How so. Li Qing sat down opposite Xiao Wan and glanced at his legs, "Your legs... What's going on?"
"Didn't my dad say that he was interrupted? Originally, I wanted to be a soldier, but then I couldn't do it, so I hid at home and waited for death. Xiao Wan waved his hand, as if he didn't want to mention it again, "I'm fine now, I do some handiwork in the house by myself, and let my father take me to sell it at night, I can't make a lot of money, but I don't like it for a day." ”
Xiao Wan laughed as he spoke, and the two dimples on his face were thrown on him, but there was a little more loneliness and desolation between his eyebrows: "I often watch TV now, but I didn't expect Rou'er to become a big star, hehe, it was your girlfriend back then." I told people a few times that Mu Rouer was the girlfriend of my high school classmate, but no one believed me. ”
"Hasn't Rou'er come to see you?" asked Li Qing.
"It's been a long time since I got in touch, I haven't seen Rou'er since you left, and now I see her on TV. Xiao Wan said softly, "She may be afraid that she will think of you again when she sees me, and how can we compare with other big stars when we look like this now." ”
"Tell me about you, what have you been doing all these years?, why have you been missing for so long?" Xiao Wan changed the topic, looked at Li Qing and asked.
Li Qing hesitated: "Something happened at home back then. ”
"Well, we all know that. Your family's affairs are big news in Lingang, and they made the front page headlines of the day, and I was stupid when I read the newspaper, and I hurried to find you, but all around your house were sealed, and those bodyguards didn't even let me in. ”
"I didn't know that my parents had just left, and there was chaos in the house, and I didn't have any other thoughts left. Li Qing said with a wry smile.
"I understand that, and I was going to come back to you later. After a long summer vacation, I heard the news of your disappearance, and it made the headlines again, and I still have that newspaper. After Xiao Wan finished speaking, he shook his wheelchair and walked to the bookshelf in the corner, took out a yellowed high school textbook from it and opened it.
In the textbook was a faded high school graduation photo, as well as a neatly stacked Lingang Daily.
took out the graduation photo and stuffed it back, Xiao Wan sighed and handed the newspaper to Li Qing: "Look, this is it." ”
Li Qing took the newspaper, lowered his head and glanced at it, and nodded: "Well, it was this day, I remember clearly, it was raining heavily that night." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Wan asked as he shook the wheelchair back in front of Li Qing and stared at him with a serious face.
Li Qing raised his head and glanced at Xiao Wan, and said with a smile: "I was forced, if I didn't leave at that time, I would have died." "Have fun reading every day
