Xiao Yang drank a little too much wine tonight, and it was rare, I saw that he needed to be helped. At the end of the show, Lin Jia held Xiao Yang's arm and said goodbye to the guests one by one. Standing at the door to bid farewell to the guests, Xiao Yang muttered and didn't know what to say, just nodded vigorously to the departing guests. It was Lin Jia, who seemed very calm and atmospheric, with the posture of a hostess, and her words were decent and generous. I haven't seen her for two years, and she is no longer the powerless girl she was back then.

"I didn't drink too much. Lin Jia smiled at me, "We haven't had a private meeting since you came back, you call Liu Yuxi another day, and we'll have a drink together." ”

"Good. I nodded, smiled slightly, and motioned to Xiao Yang, "You'll be lucky to go back at night." ”

"Get used to it. Lin Jia brushed the hair between her forehead, looked at Xiao Yang, who was already dull, and shook her head, "I heard that your cooking skills are good now, so I'll try it in your store another day." ”

"If you come here, I'll make you my favorite dish. "Although Lin Jia and I have a very good relationship, because of Xiao Yang, we have never been in private contact. Xiao Yang is my absolute brother, and I don't want to have any misunderstanding with him. Lin Jia's thoughts should be the same as mine.

After thinking about it, I said, "Thank you for giving me that IPOD, it was the music in it that accompanied me through my darkest time." We don't communicate much on weekdays, and we don't see each other much, but I think you're my bosom friend, and I like the music in it. Nodding, I smiled most sincerely.

"Bosom friend?" Lin Jia nodded, didn't say anything, and asked very abruptly, "Have you found the blue lotus in your heart?"

This time I was stunned, I don't know when, I have forgotten the ideals of my youth.

Will I still look for the blue lotus in my heart? Looking at the flow of people who have ended, I can't give my own answer.

Maybe it was because she saw my embarrassment, or maybe Lin Jia didn't want to ask the answer at all, she waved her hand at me: "I won't send it, you should be careful on the road." ”

"Hmm. I cleaned up my mood, looked at the time on my phone, waved goodbye to Lin Jia, I still have a date.

When I came to the old fifth stall, the chicken boy was already sitting at a table in the house waiting for me. A case of beer has been opened, and the table is filled with lamb kebabs, lamb ribs, chicken wings, and some vegetables.

I sat down with a stool, looked at the chicken in a suit, and smiled: "Long time no see, chicken." ”

The signature large gold chain is also the most striking feature of the chickens. Although the chicken boy is Song Jian's subordinate, I have always had a good feeling for him, and I feel that he and Song Jian have never been the same kind of people. In my heart, the chicken boy is still my friend.

"Long time no see, Amu. The chicken boy nodded at me and handed me a bottle of beer, "Let's have something to eat first." ”

I knew that the chicken boy must have something to say to me when he asked me over, but looking at his expression, I knew that the chicken boy was still hesitating to say it to me. I'm not in a hurry, I know what he wants to say. And I don't want to force my friend to say what he doesn't want to say. Friends, it's important to make friends.

"Good. I picked up a few skewers and ate them, gesturing around, "The old five-way stall has been open in our city for many years, and I remember that when I was in school, I used to eat here with my friends. At that time, there were two sheds on this street, and if you look at the current shop, I am afraid that it is not less than 200 square meters. ”

"yes. The chicken boy directly picked up the wine bottle and touched my wine bottle, "In the past, the bosses on Y City Road liked to come here for a drink and supper." ”

Thinking that Chen Zhijun also told me that he used to like to come to this store, I sighed in my heart.

After a sip of beer, the owner brought over another seafood platter.

"This is the little boss. I pointed to the young man, who was about thirty years old. After two years abroad, I was a little unfamiliar with everything in my hometown.

"Hmm. The chicken boy nodded and looked at the young man, "He is the son of the fifth child, and we all call him the fifth little one now." I heard that he was still a top student of F University.,Originally, I was engaged in IT in the magic capital.,But then I suddenly came back for some reason.,Took over the class of the fifth child.。 However, his craftsmanship has been passed down by the fifth child. ”

"Really?" I heard that he graduated from F University, and I couldn't help but gossip and look at the young man twice. Although the hair is twisted together because of the smoke, through the pair of gold-wire glasses, you can really see a bit of scholarly temperament.

"It's a pity, after reading books for so many years, I ended up living in this shop. I sighed and looked at my boss Xiao Wu with sympathy in my eyes.

"What is there to be sorry for. Chicken Boy didn't think so, "It's the same life, what's the difference?" Now there are so many people in IT that he doesn't know how long he will have to stay up if he wants to get ahead in the big city. But this old five-row stall is the signboard of Y City, isn't it much better to be the boss here than to be a wage earner in a big city?"

When I heard it, it was indeed the case. However, everyone's ideals are different, and the things they pursue are also different. I just don't know if this little five boss has also given up the Blue Lotus he is pursuing.

Just ate and drank with the chickens, and then chatted casually, and before we knew it, the two of us had already drunk a whole case of beer. Very tacitly, I didn't mention Song Jian to the chicken, and the chicken didn't ask me about the situation over the years. After all, there is one more Song Jian between me and the chicken. I think I also know the current relationship between me and Song Jian.

"Amu, I have something to say to you. The chicken boy looked at me, "Originally, Xiao Yang invited Song Jian, but he knew that you would come in the evening, so he asked me to come for him." ”

"I'm more than happy to meet you than to him. I held up the bottle and took a sip, "You should drink less, too." ”

"Amu, in my heart you have always been my friend. Chicken Boy suddenly "Gurr" drained an entire bottle of beer and smiled at me, "Thank you, Amu." ”

"Thank me for what?" I stopped the chickens from boiling their beers, "it's almost all for today, friends don't care how much they drink." ”

"Thank you for saving my life. The chicken boy ripped off the collar of his shirt, revealing a scar, "That night, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have hung up." Forcibly, the chicken boy opened another bottle of beer and took two sips.

I knew the chicks had something to say to me, so I didn't keep stopping the chicks from drinking.

"Didn't you know what happened that night, those people came at me. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have been hurt at all. Then again, I still have to accompany you. "I lifted the bottle and touched the chicken's bottle.

"It's not. Chicken shook his head, "I remember the situation that night very clearly. He patted me on the shoulder, "You were covered in blood, but you still carried me out." The dim light, the pungent smell of blood, I still remember it vividly, and I still dream of it when I have nightmares. Although I don't read much, I also understand what righteousness is. Amu, do you know what I was thinking when you passed out?"

The chicken boy lit a cigarette and recalled the time: "At that moment, I thought, I have made up my mind for your brother!"

"Chickens. I interrupted the chicken, "We're still good friends, aren't we?" ”

"But I'm sorry for you. The chicken boy sighed, "Hehe" laughed dryly, "Until just now, I was still hesitating to say it to you." But if I don't say it, I will always lose a thorn in my heart, and I still decided to say it. ”

"Amu, it's good that you're back safely!"

I frowned, not knowing what the chicken was going to say, and waited quietly.

"Do you remember your boxing match with Rong Biao?" Chicken Boy glanced at me, "Actually, I knew you had such a fight before your boxing match, and I knew that this fight would not be a winner or loser, but would only end with Rong Biao's death." ”

"What!" even though I was willing to let go of the past, I was still shocked by the chicken's words. Was that a doomed ending?

"I don't understand, you make it clear. My fists clenched tightly, and my voice began to tremble slightly.

"This is a bureau jointly set up by Chen Zhijun and Song Jian. The chicken drained the rest of the bottle in one gulp.

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes, tried to control my imminent outburst, and said slowly, "You continue." ”

The chicken boy was determined to tell me everything, so he was very calm: "At that time, Chen Zhijun faced the biggest challenge. In the provincial capital, Fat Yong keeps fighting with him for the turf, today you smash my store, tomorrow I will rush your field. The two sides were originally evenly matched, but then things changed. ”

Ji Boy glanced at me: "That good brother of yours, Wang Weixin, was transferred to the provincial department, and he was arranged to investigate Chen Zhijun's criminal case." That brother of yours, I want you to understand. Chen Zhijun invited him privately I don't know how many times, but he never went once. On the contrary, the investigation was more thorough, which made Chen Zhijun feel a huge threat. ”

So Chen Zhijun and Song Jian teamed up to come up with such a plan. Let you gamble with Rong Biao, and then arrange for someone to kill Rong Biao. The chicken boy took a puff of cigarette, "First, Rong Biao's death is a blow to Fat Yong, and Rong Biao is the most proud thug under Fat Yong." Second, by giving Rong Biao's death to you, you can attract Wang Weixin's attention, after all, you and he are brothers, if he favoritism helps you, Chen Zhijun can find Wang Weixin's handle and kick him out of the provincial hall, and he himself can breathe a sigh of relief. Also, in their original plan, you will throw yourself into Chen Zhijun's command if you are desperate. I didn't expect you to be so strong. ”

"Yes. "I know there's no need to lie to me, but the bloody truth makes my heart feel like it's being torn apart. I'm not the kind of person who just lets go of the past. Time may have diluted my pain, but the truth has poured salt on the wound. I once thought that this incident would be related to Chen Zhijun when I was sleepless at night, but I didn't expect that he planned it.

"What's good about Song Jian?" I closed.

"Chen Zhijun's former yard in Y City was handed over to Song Jian to take care of. ”

"Chen Zhijun and Song Jian's feud is acting?"

The chicken boy nodded, his expression a little solemn: "There is one more thing I have to tell you." ”

"I contacted the people who testified that I saw you kill people, and I asked them to go out and testify for perjury. Wood, I'm sorry, you saved my life and I stabbed you in the back. The chicken burned the burned cigarette butt in the palm of his hand, looking extremely painful. It was evident that he had summoned the greatest courage to say this to me. Not everyone can face the lack of their conscience.

"I don't blame you. I shook my head, the chicken boy was a pawn at best, and no one else would do it if he didn't go, "Thank you for telling me about this." ”

I reopened a bottle of beer and drank it all in one sitting.
