It was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night, and Xiao Chai and Ren Kai still hadn't slept. In Ren Kai's room, the smoke was filling, the two of them sat on the floor, and beer cans were thrown everywhere.

Xiao Chai first picked up the beer and took a sip, then took a puff of cigarette, and said in a casual voice, "Huangfu Xiushan was too calm in the face of the pistol just now, as if he knew that the gun would not be fired at him." He stopped, glanced at Ren Kai, who was staring at the can, and continued, "Before Grandma Liu fired, what she said to him seemed to mean something. ”

He thought for a while and said, "Tong Jingsheng is not right, he only cared about Huangfu Xiushan at that time, and he didn't care about the lives of others at all, which is not in line with his usual style." ”

Ren Kai's eyes moved, he smiled, and said, "What about the motive? These things you mentioned are just suspicious. Speaking of suspicious, there are individuals who are even more suspicious. ”

Xiao Chai took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "Who?"

Ren Kai looked at him and said word by word, "You." ”

Xiao Chai nodded expressionlessly and said, "Motive?"

Ren Kai smiled slightly and said, "Extinguish." I happen to know that you and Grandma Liu had a cooperation before, when your company introduced the code scanning technology imported from Australia, the overseas company that won the bid was controlled by you and Grandma Liu, and after the project was completed, this company also disappeared. The most puzzling thing is that the appraised price and the commission paid for this technology are ridiculously high, so high that you can't imagine in your current position. At one point, I suspected that you two were just the front desk, and there was another financier behind it. ”

Xiao Chai looked at him, nodded and said, "In order to protect the gold owner behind me, I was forced to make a choice. It seems to make sense. However, I'm not in the system, and there is no one to supervise it, so I can run out and carry the black pot on my own. There's no reason to make it so big. ”

Ren Kai nodded and said, "You're right. However, maybe someone took the initiative to ask him to stand up and carry this pot. ”

Xiao Chai looked at him, pinched the can, made a crackling sound, and said leisurely, "If the purpose is really as simple as you say, will so many things happen?"

Ren Kai was silent for a moment and said, "There are many things in life that cannot be planned. Maybe you didn't expect it to be this way, until something happened that shouldn't have happened, to the point where someone had to make a voluntary sacrifice to stop the loss. ”

Xiao Chai didn't respond, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said abruptly, "No matter what, it's just your speculation, there is no basis and no evidence." After a pause, he said in a complicated tone, "What happened in the winter of the third year of junior high school, the only people left in the know are the two of us, and one day, I will also leave, and if the oath is broken, you will be free." ”

Ren Kai looked at him in a daze, shook his head and sighed, "It's not necessarily you who will go first." No matter what, Grandma Liu will not die in vain. Someone wants to borrow a corpse to resurrect a soul, so I let him die again. After saying that, I took a big sip of beer, and I was choked and coughed, and tears flowed down.

After his breath calmed down a little, he asked Xiao Chai in a hoarse voice, "When Judas was kissing Jesus, did you say that he was thinking about thirty dollars or the bits and pieces of his past with Jesus?" After speaking, he slowly got up and turned to leave.

Xiao Chai sat aside, speechless.

Ren Kai walked on the path of the village, at the end of the night, the night was thick, and the villagers who got up early had already started to light a fire to cook.

He didn't sleep all night, he smelled of tobacco and alcohol, his hair was unkempt, and his eyes were red. Although the pain in my heart has begun to numb, what fills in is the sadness of the rabbit and the fox.

Chongshan unexpectedly appeared, he blocked Ren Kai's way and pointed to a small pavilion next to him. This small pavilion is quite ancient, with stone slabs as tables and stones as stools. One person leaned on the stone table and smiled at Ren Kai, it was Huangfu Xiushan.

When Ren Kai participated in the layout, he had not yet arrived, and when all the dust settled, he looked for Ren Kai again, but there was no trace of him. I thought that he would come and go in a hurry this time, and it was estimated that he would not be able to meet, but I didn't expect to see him coming dejectedly from afar.

"You're still the same" Huangfu Xiushan glanced at the heavy mountain hidden in the darkness and smiled at Ren Kai.

Ren Kai looked at him for a long time and laughed. remembered that the man in front of him spared no effort to give advice for himself and Xiuxiu, and acted as a pioneer in a daze, and even lifted the table at home at the critical moment. There was never a distinction between the two in his eyes.

"Your authority is even greater. If you don't do it, why are you coming to this troubled water?" Ren Kai smiled, looked at him and said.

"Man is not in this world just for himself. He sighed and then said, "What about you, why are you involved in such a big whirlpool? Let me tell you, don't take it seriously, Jingrui is not involved in one or two families." ”

The once reckless people also have a city government, and they also know how to tempt. Ren Kai smiled and changed the topic, "Uncle and aunt are in good health." I haven't seen it in nearly twenty years. ”

Huangfu Xiushan sighed in his heart, knowing that he was alert, so he said in passing, "My mother is still reluctant, and my father passed away five years ago. Before leaving, he blamed himself vigorously, holding Xiuxiu's hand and saying that he had hurt her, and I was afraid that she would die of old age. ”

Ren Kai was taken aback when he heard this, and he was quite moved. If I had a grudge against this old man before, but now that I heard that he had passed away, all the resentment had dissipated without a trace. Back then, it was just an old father's kind coaxing of his disobedient daughter, but now that he is a parent, he has long understood the old man's hard work.

After all, it's just fate. Perhaps, after this incident, it is really time to meet her. What else can't be seen now? Wait any longer, and be brought to the coffin.

Huangfu Xiushan looked at him, but he didn't know that he remembered his little sister. Thinking about the little sister, I was a little ashamed in my heart, but soon my heart hardened. Since the death of his father, the family has fallen into the middle of the road, although he has no worries about food and clothing, but he still slipped to the edge. If you don't grasp the opportunity in front of you, after a few years, who will know that there is an imperial family. I am responsible for the revival of the family, so I have to be sorry for my little sister once. If my father is knowledgeable, he will understand his suffering.

Although he tried his best to reason with himself, he was a little unnatural since he was a child, so he said to Ren Kai without words, "I will leave in a while, and Director Liu's body will return to Beijing with me." Do you still need to see it?"

Ren Kai was silent for a while and shook his head. Maybe I shouldn't have come out at all.

Huangfu Xiushan looked at him, stretched out his hands to hold him in his arms, patted him on the back again, and said, "Mountains and rivers meet, take care." He strode away.

The heavy mountain hidden in the shadows followed closely behind, following in unison.

The two talked for a long time, and they never said a word about Chongshan. They all have a thought, and the next time we meet, I don't know if it's friend or foe, and some words are better to keep in my stomach.

Ren Kai watched them gradually melt into the night, and thought in his heart, "The long holiday the day after tomorrow is over, and Dragon City should also begin." Now each is his master, and I hope you will not leave your hands behind. ”

Just thinking about it, there was a faint fragrance of jasmine behind her, it was Zhao Meimei.

The girl looked at the haggard man and felt a pain in her heart. wanted to hug into his arms, but he was jealous, but after all, it only turned into a long sigh.

"Is Liu Xiaojun's matter true?" After all, the girl is soft-hearted, and in just a few days, she has become like a family with Ren Kai's friends. Nowadays, a living person, like a lamp going out, disappears from the world, and his heart is naturally uncomfortable.

Ren Kai turned around and sat down on the stone bench slowly, without looking at the girl, and nodded slowly.

"Then how to explain it to his family?" the girl thought of the orphan and widow, and she connected to herself, and it became more and more difficult to accept.

"Unified external voice, died in the line of duty. There will be people from above. It's just that they suffer. Ren Kai shook his head and said softly.

The two sat relatively silently.

The east is getting brighter, and the shadows are building. A new day begins.

Everyone cleaned up, had breakfast, and was about to get up, Xiaochai told everyone that Liu Xiaojun left early because of something. Except for Li Yanan, the rest of the people had some guesses and didn't say much.

Ren Kai's original intention was to let the three girls return, but no one listened, and they had their own cars and went their own way. There was no way, and he didn't want to be in the same car with Lao Xue, so he went to the Wrangler. As soon as I got in the car, sleepiness hit me and I shouted.

I felt that I had slept for a long time, and the car stopped in a trance, and when I heard that Xiao Chai didn't know what to say, I sat up suddenly. saw that Xiao Chai was really talking to everyone outside.

Lazikou arrived. There is a monument with an inscription written by General Yang. Ren Kai took a breath and looked at the inscription carefully, thinking about the predecessors who sacrificed for their ideals.

After resting for a while, we set off again and rushed to T water. This time, Tong Tong and Li Yanan switched opens, and Ren Kai and Zhao Meimei make up for sleep in the back row.

Ren Kai fell asleep all the way, as if he was going to sleep back after 8 days of sleep. In the haze, there is always a faint fragrance of jasmine lingering on the nose. It's a very familiar feeling, as if it had been in a dream.

Just in time for the return rush, there is a lot of traffic, and the speed can't get up along the way. Luckily there was no traffic jam. In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, it was time to enter the city of Tshui.

When I came to the construction road of Qin's district, I found a four-star hotel and arranged accommodation. Xiao Chai told everyone that after washing up, gather in the hall and invite everyone to have a big meal tonight.

Ren Kai was still alone and took a shower. Opened the curtains, looked at the infinite sunset outside, and recalled the appearance of Grandma Liu, suspected of being in a dream.

There is actually Mr. Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes" in the room. Ren Kaiwan turned over on the bed and fell asleep again.

He was woken up by the vibrating sound of the phone, urging him to hurry away.

It is said to be a big meal, but in fact, it is a music bar with a lot of characteristics. The name is also elegant, walnut.

There are handsome men and beautiful women in it, all of whom are young and young, and the three girls are very suitable. The men are a little more conspicuous. Seven people sat in a large booth, ordered a table full, and put foreign wine and beer on the table.

Everyone has a tacit understanding not to mention Liu Xiaojun, under the cover of sharp singing, eating meat and drinking a lot, like a ghost reincarnated, like the eve of the doom.

Under the effect of tiredness, suspicion, and sadness for several days, Xiao Chai drank high.

He didn't cry or make a fuss, he just laughed, laughed and laughed. While laughing, he pointed at Ren Kai and said, "You said that you, a poor child who graduated from a technical school, are not satisfied with being tossed to the deputy department level." Still thinking about climbing up. Is that something that ordinary people like us can think? When people call you Director Liu, you take it seriously. Haha, laughing to death. After saying that, he slapped it heavily on the table, and sang in a straight voice, "I have seen that the warbler of Jinling Yushu is dawning, and the flowers of Qinhuai Water Pavilion are blooming early, who knows that it is easy to freeze." Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse. This moss and green tile pile, I have slept in the wind and flow, and I have seen the rise and fall of fifty years. That Wuyi Lane, not surnamed Wang ....... Before he could finish singing, he had already fallen on the cold scorching scraps, and his hair and face were covered with broth.

Ren Kai watched his friend practice himself like that, his nose was sore, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore. Grandma Liu is still gone after all, and the brother who is a good teacher and persevering will see each other for the rest of his life.

Er Guodong looked at the two of them, his eyes were sad, he got up to settle the bill, beckoned a few people, and sent Xiaochai back to the hotel. A farewell dinner ended in a hurry.

Zhao Meimei was in Li Yanan's room, and she couldn't help pouting, "He will leave tomorrow, and if he doesn't find out, what happened that night will really cheap him for nothing." ”

Li Yanan's face turned red and pushed her, "Why are you like an old bustard." As far as we know, you can't spread the word, or I'll really have no face to see people. ”

Zhao Meimei smiled bitterly in her heart, just the two of us? Alas, except for that person, I probably know. And, know more than you do.

Li Yanan hesitated and said, "Do you think it's appropriate to ask him to my room?"

Zhao Meimei glanced at her and said, "Then you can go to his room as well." ”

Ren Kai was lying on the bed thinking nonsense. The phone "buzzed" and vibrate.

He didn't look at it either, but picked it up.

"Hello Lawyer Ren, I'm Chongshan. Mr. Zhang Jingrui, let me pick you up. There is an important meeting of the group tonight that you need to attend. The car is just downstairs. Look at ......" Chongshan's voice did not fluctuate at all, as if it was another person who teamed up with Ren Kai to act last night.

Ren Kailuo thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Well, I know." ”

packed up his things, called Er Guodong to explain a few words, and left a few words for Xiaochai through a text message. Thinking of the three girls, he shook his head. I took "The Condor Heroes" and tinkered with it and put it in the middle of the bed.

Pulling his luggage, he finally looked at the room, opened the door, and went downstairs without looking back.

This goes to Dragon City, the long knife makes a song, and he has to kill his head. As for yourself, let it be a sacrifice, dedicated to those who once had blood and perseverance.

In this life, sometimes it is really difficult to make people cry, but after burning their eyes, they have to endure it, because living is never just for themselves.

When Li Yanan pushed Ren Kai's room open, it was empty. Only a copy of "The Condor Heroes" lies quietly in the center of the bed. Turning over the folded place, there is a paragraph that was scratched with a red pen, "This good meeting, the excitement is not shallow, he meets in the rivers and lakes every day, and then he is a glass of wine." Let's leave it at that. There is a word "Ren" written on the bottom upright, and today's date is fallen. The bright red handwriting is fangs and claws, as if it is about to jump out of the paper.

Li Yanan saw another paragraph under the paragraph, "At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, the wind was blowing the leaves, and the crows on the top of the trees were singing, Guo Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and tears came out of his eyes."

Li Yanan threw down the book and ran downstairs regardless of it.

It was the beginning of the nightlife, the streets were brightly lit, cars were coming and going, and the man who was alone was nowhere to be seen.

The girl cried loudly into the street. Zhao Meimei didn't know when she came to her and hugged her in her arms. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you crying about, if he runs, we will chase it, even if it is in the sky and into the sea." ”

When the girl heard this, she burst into tears and laughed. "Yurong is lonely and tears are dry, and pear blossoms bring rain in spring. ”
