The next morning, the storm gradually receded, but the rainwater on the side of the road was still piling up, the streets were in a mess, there were branches and groceries lying everywhere, the center of the road was blocked by uprooted trees, many street stalls and grocery stores were also hit by the storm, and even some high-altitude building signs and glass fell, and the cars in the community were also staggered together.

Early in the morning, the whole city seems to be baptized by demons, and anyone who sees such a scene can't help but feel emotional.

Lin Shaohua and others were searched and rescued by the rescue team and came to the first hospital where Xu Bingchao was, because of blood loss and overwork, Lin Shaohua fell into a coma and was sent to the emergency room, and the remaining three children were lying on the bed hanging glucose to recuperate.

Because the bullet hit Lin Shaohua's abdomen and did not penetrate, and remained inside, Xu Bingchao urgently mobilized personnel to start the operation.

Lin Shaohua, who fell into a coma, was vaguely still a little conscious, in front of him, it was a school, that was his university alma mater, in the empty classroom, the dusk shone on Lin Shaohua's face, as if everything was peaceful.

Lin Shaohua quietly looked at the sunset outside the window, everything around him was very familiar, the layout of the classroom and Chen Zilong standing beside him.

It's his dream, it's his memory.

Chen Zilong was wearing a military uniform and carrying a big backpack, looking at Lin Shaohua with a puzzled face: "What do you want? After school, everyone is gone, and you are still here in a daze." ”

Lin Shaohua shook his head and smiled: "If you want to be a big beauty, let's go." ”

Chen Zilong and Lin Shaohua were high school classmates, and later they were admitted to the same police academy together, the same class, the same dormitory, and the relationship was very good.

In school, Lin Shaohua and Chen Zilong are notoriously handsome, whether it is face or figure, few people can look at it, there is a girls' art school next to their military school, usually many girls look across the balcony of the dormitory, and the two have also received a lot of love letters.

Lin Shaohua has always said to Chen Zilong that there are so many beautiful girls, it is a pity not to get to know them, it will hurt the hearts of beautiful women, so he often secretly dates all kinds of different girls.

But Chen Zilong resolutely did not see any girls, he already had a girlfriend at that time, but Lin Shaohua had never seen it, I heard that it was a girl from another university, the two met in high school, and now they are in a long-distance relationship, and they can only contact their feelings by phone every day, but their relationship has not faded because of distance, Chen Zilong will take the train to find her every holiday, which makes Lin Shaohua feel very envious, he is just a hearty radish who is merciful everywhere.

Seeing that it is graduation season, everyone is basically doing internships, and after graduation, they will go their separate ways, and some people will be assigned to different positions and different places, and once they step into the society, it will be a different world.

Fortunately, Lin Shaohua and Chen Zilong were both assigned to the Criminal Investigation Department of the local Ministry of Public Security, and everything went smoothly, the two worked in the team for four years, made countless contributions, and were also rumored to be the best partners in the police team.

However, at this time, Chen Zilong had an accident, and for unknown reasons, Chen Zilong was punished by the police force because he was drunk outside and beat people indiscriminately, and he was fired because he contradicted his boss.

Lin Shaohua, who learned the news, immediately looked for Chen Zilong, Chen Zilong came to a bar in Hongyun Club to get drunk, and when he found him, he had already fainted.

In desperation, Lin Shaohua carried him to the house he rented nearby, which was a temporary rented single room that Lin Shaohua found when he was working.

As soon as he returned to the room, Chen Zilong seemed to be much more awake, humming in a daze, Lin Shaohua didn't resist him, and spit it out.

"Hey, go to the toilet and vomit again, big brother! My god ......" Lin Shaohua hurriedly helped Chen Zilong to the toilet to make him vomit, and found hot water and a hot towel for him to put on the back of his neck.

After a long time, Chen Zilong regained his senses a little, sat up from the bed, looked at the time on his mobile phone, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and glanced at Lin Shaohua who was cleaning up the room on the side.

"You're awake. Lin Shaohua stretched, he didn't sleep all night, and he was a little tired physically and mentally after cleaning up the vomit.

"Water. Chen Zilong got up and rubbed his head.

Lin Shaohua brought a cup of warm water and handed it to him: "Why do you drink so much? Why did the team suddenly fire you, you are about to be promoted, so you won't be punished for a fight, is there another reason?"

Chen Zilong took the water and drank it in one gulp: "No." ”

Lin Shaohua sat beside him and asked suspiciously: "What is the situation, I heard that you still contradict your boss, what makes you so angry, what will you do in the future?"

Chen Zilong didn't look him in the eye and stood up: "Don't care, you will do your best in the future, thank you today, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

Saying that, Chen Zilongtou walked out of the door quickly without replying, leaving Lin Shaohua sitting on the bed in a daze.

Since that night, Lin Shaohua has rarely seen him again, and Chen Zilong always avoids Lin Shaohua intentionally or unintentionally.

During this period, he inquired that Chen Zilong had been dealing with the people of Hongyun Club during this time, and Hongyun Club couldn't get along with them in the first place, one black and one white.

Hong Zhaotian was a figure with a head and a face at that time, on the surface, he didn't do anything hurtful, but in private, he has been walking black goods, money laundering activities, the police have been staring at them for a long time, but there is still no handle, I heard that Chen Zilong was expelled after he took refuge in the Hongyun Society, relying on providing information about the police and his own strength, he was quickly recognized by Hong Zhaotian.

Chen Zilong and Lin Shaohua are friends who have slept together for four years, what kind of character is he Lin Shaohua will not know, he doesn't believe that Chen Zilong will embark on this road, so he quit his job, bought a motorcycle, and went around the city to inquire about Chen Zilong's news.

It is not easy for a person to come out and break into society, and he can't live without money, Lin Shaohua's savings were quickly used up, he had to go to work to make money, whether it was a fast food restaurant, a car wash, selling insurance and doing commercial performances, he experienced all kinds of work, in the process, he saved a lot of money and gathered a lot of contacts.

Sometimes he even has to work three jobs a day, only sleeps four hours a day, gets up early and is greedy for darkness, the only motivation to insist on him is to find Chen Zilong to figure things out, in the process of work, he tries to do everything perfectly, only when he does his job impeccable, he has extra time and energy to do other things.

I've been working for about three months, and there's still no news.

On this day, Lin Shaohua saw a beggar on the way to buy dinner after work, the beggar was holding a broken bowl, holding a wooden stick with one hand, and staggered towards him step by step, the beggar exuded a foul smell, I don't know how long he hadn't taken a bath, his hair was long and messy, the clothes on his body had long been soaked in mud and dust, and the wrinkles and dark skin on his face made this beggar look even older.

The beggar walked up to Lin Shaohua and shook the broken bowl in his hand, which still contained a few loose coins and coins, his eyes were scattered, and he had lost the light of life, he looked at Lin Shaohua, hoping that the young man in front of him could give him some money enough for him to survive.

Lin Shaohua stood at the corner of the street, looked at the beggar in front of him, touched his pocket, the only change had been used by him to buy fast food in his hand, he bowed slightly and said to the beggar: "I'm sorry, I don't have any change on me." ”

When the beggar heard this, his expression was a little lost, but he didn't react much, after all, there were too many people who rejected him every day, and there were many people who didn't even want to look at him with a straight eye, and there were even people who insulted him.

The beggar didn't dwell on or talk nonsense, and turned around to look for the next good Samaritan, but Lin Shaohua stopped him, Lin Shaohua handed the lunch box in his hand to the beggar and said, "Are you hungry, sit down and eat together?"

Lin Shaohua said and sat down directly on the steps of the street, opened the lunch box and handed it to the beggar, his eyes motioned for him to sit down, the beggar was frightened by Lin Shaohua's actions, no one had ever treated him like this, he was just a beggar, I don't know why this man did this, but he had nothing but this life, and he was not afraid of losing anything.

The beggar sat down tremblingly, cautiously took the lunch, slowly tore open the disposable chopsticks, tentatively flipped through the meat in the lunch, glanced at Lin Shaohua's reaction, and dared to move his mouth only with his consent, Lin Shaohua smiled at him and nodded: "Eat, it's okay, I'm not hungry now." ”

The beggar picked up the chopsticks in his hand, took a piece of fatty meat, stared at the fat meat for a few seconds, quickly put it into his mouth and chewed it twice, the fragrance of the fat spread in the mouth, the beggar who was originally hungry couldn't bear it anymore, held the lunch box to his mouth and quickly picked up the rice, one bite after another until the mouth was filled with food, the beggar's mouth chewed the food quickly, his eyes were filled with tears, and he continued to pick up the second bite of food before swallowing.

Lin Shaohua was afraid that he would choke, so he picked up the canned Coke in the bag and opened it and handed it over: "Take a sip of the drink and eat slowly." ”

Maybe it was really choked, maybe it was too thirsty, the beggar took the coke and poured it down, maybe it was too fast, the beggar squirted out, Lin Shaohua hurriedly patted him on the back.

The beggar coughed twice, then put the lunch box in his hand and continued to send it to his mouth quickly, I don't know if he remembered that he had not eaten a good meal for too long, and the tears in his eyes slowly slipped down his cheeks.

Soon the lunch box bottomed out, the beggar drank the last sip of Coke, wiped the corners of his mouth with dirty clothes, hiccuped with satisfaction, and then stood up and knelt in front of Lin Shaohua with a puff and kowtowed deeply, Lin Shaohua hurriedly stopped and helped him up.

"It's been a year, I haven't had a bite of hot rice for a whole year, thank you! thank you......! thank you!" the beggar choked up as he thanked him, tears washing down his face, for the first time in a long time he felt the warmth of the world.

Lin Shaohua helped him up and sat beside him, patting him on the back, he didn't expect his actions to make the beggar so excited, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

"What's your name?" Lin Shaohua asked.

The beggar sobbed and wiped his tears with his hands: "Pony." ”

Lin Shaohua learned from chatting with Xiaoma that Xiaoma was originally an ordinary office worker, but his old father went to play stocks, and he liked to gamble, resulting in a lot of debts, because the family's factory closed down a year ago, his mother died of a serious illness, his father had an accident on the way to avoid debt collection, and he was also crippled by the casino people, homeless and finally wandered around, and finally lived by begging and picking up garbage.

Understanding Xiaoma's energy, although Lin Shaohua felt that he was a little pitiful, but he had no sympathy, Xiaoma came to this point completely by himself, self-inflicted, there is a saying that poor people must have something to hate.

Now the pony has learned that he is wrong, but it is too late to say anything, there is no regret medicine in the world, and his current life is the punishment for him.

After chatting for a long time, when night fell, Xiaoma almost confided all his things to Lin Shaohua, Lin Shaohua has always been patient, because of time, Lin Shaohua had to leave first, before leaving, he took out a photo of Chen Zilong and asked: "Xiaoma, I am looking for a friend recently, if you have met him, I hope you can contact me, there is my contact information and address behind the photo." ”

Pony took the photo and looked at it, frowned slightly and opened his mouth to say, "I think I've seen him." ”

"Where have you seen?" Lin Shaohua hadn't heard anything about Chen Zilong for half a year, but this time he actually learned from a beggar's mouth.

Pony said: "Last week, I saw a woman making trouble outside a teahouse, and it seemed that she was arguing with the man in the photo. ”

"Where's that teahouse?"

"It's a bit of a distance from here, I can't say the specifics, but I remember the way. ”

"Get in the car. ”

Lin Shaohua pushed the motorcycle and sat on it in stride, and his eyes motioned for the pony to sit up and guide the way.

With a bang, Lin Shaohua filled up the throttle and flew on the road.
