Chapter 16: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
On this night, the vagrant's drinking table changed from one person to two, from two to three, from three to a group of people.
Li Banruo was drunk and left all the things that had accumulated in his mind behind, he hadn't indulged like this for a long, long time, this was only a night of alcohol torture and no past torture, which made Li Banruo sleep very comfortably.
It would be nice if it could go on like this, but there will be no such good things in the world, the adult world is not easy to say this, and as an adult who has gone into twists and turns, Li Banruo obviously has to go through more than anyone else, but it is not worthy of awe.
In everyone's opinion, this is just a ruffian's own fault.
The ringtone of the mobile phone woke up the sleeping Li Banruo, opened his heavy eyelids, and felt out the mobile phone that was still vibrating in his arms, and waited until Li Banruo saw the caller number, before he remembered what he was going to do today, his head woke up in an instant, rubbed his temples and got up, and saw that the fourth and fifth were still asleep, Li Banruo did not wake up, after all, it was rare to be able to have such a day of leisure, he got up and went upstairs, answered the phone, and promised to rush to Jincheng Huafu within an hour, hurriedly washed up, changed into a brand new suit and went downstairs.
Maybe he woke up the fourth child just now, and when he went downstairs, the fourth child was already smoking a stuffy cigarette, and when he saw Li Panruo going downstairs, he made a gesture.
Of course, Li Panruo saw what the fourth child's gesture meant, and said, "Send me to Jincheng Huafu." ”
After hearing this, the fourth child nodded slightly, got up and picked up the car keys from the drunk fifth child, and the two left the wanderer together.
Driven by the fourth child, Li Banruo sat in the co-pilot and closed his eyes to recuperate, because of last night's crazy drinking, Li Banruo only felt dizzy and swollen to the extreme, and he wanted to vomit out his entire stomach.
The fourth child was just driving the car intently, and his expression looked a little complicated, but he couldn't speak, maybe this is why his thoughts are more sensitive than most people.
"It's been really hard for you for a while, if it weren't for you and the fifth child, I really don't know how to deal with all this. Li Panruo muttered with his eyes closed.
The fourth shook his head, stretched out a hand, and gently patted Li Panruo's shoulder.
The corners of Li Panruo's mouth raised slightly, then he opened his eyes and lit a cigarette, put it to his mouth and said: "Fourth, I know that matter is a hurdle in your heart, but I haven't complained to you, not before, and not in the future, because if it were me, what could I do? ”
The fourth child nodded slightly, and made a gesture, because he needed to drive, his expression was very difficult.
And Li Banruo seemed to have seen what the fourth child meant, shook his head slightly and said, "Abin won't complain about you, he's not that kind of person, right?"
The fourth child listened, didn't think about it for a long time, and nodded slightly.
Li Panruo turned his head to look out of the car window, and began to think, in what way is that guy working hard and struggling now, and himself, is he slacking off again?
Mercedes-Benz S400 stopped in front of the villa, Li Banruo waved his hand to let the fourth go back first, snuffed out the cigarette butt himself, noticed the Prado parked in front of the villa, seemed to understand something, and walked into the villa.
In the living room, Chuangzi was chatting with Aunt Wu, and when he saw Li Banruo, an uninvited guest, Chuangzi's expression was a little stiffer, but Aunt Wu still had an indiscriminate smile.
The fat man Tang Jin was admiring the flowers and plants planted by Aunt Wu, and after noticing Li Panruo who came in, his expression was a little more solemn, and his waist slowly straightened up.
And the big and small yellow hairs are honestly staying aside, not daring to be angry, looking like two ornaments.
Li Banruo sat down on the side, first greeted Aunt Wu cordially, and then glanced at Chuang Zi, who was now a little shiny, and said, "I heard that you haven't eaten less oil and water for a while, and everyone has been blessed." “
It is rare for the sloppy Chuang Zi to comb his hair meticulously, wearing a brown suit, he really looks like a successful person, but that particularly old face smiled strangely, which really gave people a feeling of ugliness, and he said coldly: "Compared with you, my little foundation is far behind, and now you have become a big celebrity in the mansion." ”
"Okay, okay, big New Year's Day. Aunt Wu saw that the two of them had just opened their mouths, and immediately persuaded them.
Li Banruo and Chuangzi snorted coldly at the same time, no one is completely convinced, no matter how beautiful Li Banruo is now, in the eyes of Chuangzi, he is also a thousand knives, of course, in the eyes of Li Banruo, a pair of enemies deep in the bones.
Or heard the movement downstairs, Wei Qinghe walked downstairs at this time, and Li Panruo also got up and said, "Aunt Wu, I'll take Qinghe out to have a look, and I'll come back in the evening." ”
Wu Ying glanced at the two of them, who were at the corresponding age, or noticed that there was a bit of ambiguity in Wei Qinghe's eyes, and smiled: "Even if you don't come back, Aunt Wu won't say anything." ”
Li Panruo smiled bitterly, he knew that Wu Ying was heartbroken for his own life's events, while Wei Qinghe's whole face was slightly red, but Chuangzi pursed his lips with disdain, although he was not interested in Wei Qinghe, but he still felt that this pair had a bit of a toad and a white swan.
If Wu Ying hadn't glared at the extremely expressive Chuang Zi slightly, it is estimated that Chuang Zi would definitely sneer at the last two sentences.
Li Banruo didn't stay long, and left in a hurry with Wei Qinghe, and he also knew that staying would only make Chuang Zi chew his tongue, and he didn't intend to explain anything, because some things, the more he explained, the more pale they became.
After Li Banruo left, Chuang Zi also stretched his waist and got up and said, "I didn't expect anyone to really be able to take a fancy to Li Banruo." ”
Wu Ying smiled bitterly, knowing that the dead knot between Chuangzi and Li Banruo was estimated to be difficult to untie in this life, she said softly: "You are not too young, it's time for Zhang Luo." ”
Chuang Zi pulled his collar, he was not used to wearing this kind of suit and shirt, shook his head and said, "Aunt Wu, don't worry about me, I don't have that mind now." ”
"Are they really planning to die alone?" Wu Ying said a little helplessly, feeling that the young people cultivated by Wei Jiu were all equipped with unique skills.
Chuang Zi didn't deny anything, but gave Tang Jin, the fat man who was cating on the side, a look, and then said, "Aunt Wu, I'll leave first, and I'll come over to accompany you when I have time." ”
Wu Ying nodded slightly, kept sending Chuang Zi out of the villa, and then watched the car slowly leave before leaving silently.
The BMW 525, which had already been killed in Jincheng Huafu, Li Banruo drove the car with one hand, took out a cigarette with one hand, and just put it to his mouth, as if he thought of something, but at this time, Wei Qinghe, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said: "It's okay, smoke it." ”
Li Banruo was not polite, and directly picked up a Yimeng Mountain, the cigarettes that the ninth master often smoked, eleven pieces a box, for his current identity, it is definitely cheap, but he seems to be able to find a few traces of the desired taste from it, so he will give up Liqun, who has been smoking for many years.
Opening the car window slightly, taking a deep breath, Li Panruo said, "Go see Bai Hongfang first?"
Wei Qinghe nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at the ever-changing scenery, his expression was a little indifferent, and suddenly asked, "That Abin, why is it gone?"
Li Panruo frowned slightly after hearing this, but he didn't show any emotion directly, and said seemingly casually: "Why do you suddenly ask like this?"
Wei Qinghe also pretended to be casual and said, "I just want to thank him for taking me out of the Bai family compound that day." ”
He left. Li Panruo took a deep breath and said in a calm-sounding voice.
Wei Qinghe was stunned, as if she heard a strong sadness in Li Banruo's words, and she continued to ask, "When will you come back?"
Li Panruo shook his head and said, "I don't know, but one day, he will come back." ”
Wei Qinghe looked at Li Banruo's eyes, which was complicated that she couldn't understand, she finally chose not to continue to ask about this story, she could see that Li Banruo had a deep friendship with Abin, but what kind of story was this, she didn't know, but there would definitely be thrilling things she couldn't even imagine.
The car drove out of Xicheng all the way, along the outer ring road, and gradually the surrounding high-rise buildings disappeared, slowly declining, Wei Qinghe didn't know how long he had been driving, until he turned his head and almost couldn't see the bustling city, Li Banruo stopped the car, and there was a bare hill in front of him, which seemed to have no appreciation value.
Li Banruo had already gotten out of the car, leaning on the car and looking up, he had only been to this place once, it was the Ninth Master who brought him over back then, in order to see the small tomb.
Wei Qinghe also got out of the car at this time, fortunately, she was wearing casual flat shoes today, otherwise it would not be easy to climb this hill with 300 meters of sea waves.
Li Panruo raised his head and said, "Bai Hongfang is buried on it, and there is also the old man of Baicheng." ”
Wei Qinghe also tilted his head, this is not a height that makes people see no end, but it is enough to give too many illusions.
"Go up. Li Banruo had already walked out first, stepping on the road up the mountain, without any pity for Wei Qinghe.
And Wei Qinghe didn't play some of the tempers that the eldest lady should have, silently followed Li Banruo's unfast and slow steps, and climbed this mountain in the face of the cold wind whistling by.
This is a place where all the history of the Bai family was born, but the Bai family wants to forget desperately, and why did Bai Hongfang choose to be buried here? She only felt sad and speechless.
