Chapter 15: The Town
Tang Jianfeng looked in the rearview mirror and found that Ye Jin had fallen asleep, the sun had completely come out, ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, and pedestrians on the road who were sad, anxious, or numb, and even many storefronts were smashed.
Tang Jianfeng glanced at his watch, it was more than seven o'clock, and they walked less than 5 kilometers in half an hour, and the road clearance only cleared a road that was barely two car widths, and it was already crowded at this time. Tang Jianfeng was not in a hurry, seeing that Tang Moqi had been closing his eyes and recuperating, he finally couldn't help but reach out and touch his head.
Tang Moqi opened his eyes suddenly, and glanced at the man who stretched out his hand to the side. Tang Jianfeng couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, it was really different, from childhood to adulthood, he reached out to touch his head countless times, which time was not beaten back?
Tang Jianfeng thought that as long as Tang Moqi was willing to accept him, even if it was really the end of the world, he would admit it.
Due to the terrible conditions on the road, the five-hour journey took more than three o'clock in the afternoon, which took twice as long. When he arrived at the gas station in S City, Tang Jianfeng got out of the car, Tang Moqi also got out of the car, and Ye Jin consciously sat in the driver's seat.
Tang Jianfeng pulled Tang Moqi to a corner, and said in a low voice: "Momo, I still owe you a word of sorry, but I don't want to apologize, I want to owe you, if the end of the world really comes, let me be by your side, okay?"
Tang Moqi looked up at the man in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but pop and jump. Although the two are the same father, there is no similarity between the two in appearance, Tang Jianfeng is tall, half a head taller than Tang Moqi, the muscles on his body are smooth, his face is handsome and cold, but he looks very similar to Tang Moqi's grandfather when he was young. Although Tang Moqi has not been valued since he was a child, he is also a child of a rich family, pampered since he was a child, and he looks like his mother, with a face that is more than delicate and not masculine. Such two people stand together, not to mention parting, and they seem to be a match made in heaven.
Seeing that Tang Moqi only looked at him and didn't speak, Tang Jianfeng hooked the corners of his mouth, and his cold and hard face immediately softened. Seeing that Tang Moqi's saliva was about to drip down, after the gradual change in his feelings for Tang Jianfeng in his previous life, he couldn't resist his "beauty plan". In this life, he lost all resistance, and Tang Moqi kept scolding him for fouling in his heart.
Tang Jianfeng couldn't help but quickly put his hands on Tang Moqi's cheeks and kissed his forehead gently. Tang Moqi was startled, and quickly looked around, although it was a corner, there were a lot of people coming and going. Tang Jianfeng saw that Tang Moqi's eyes were not disgusted, but his face turned red to the root of his ears, and he stared at him with peach blossom eyes, and his heart couldn't help but stir up a circle of ripples, and the smile on the corner of his mouth immediately enlarged, and he stretched out his hand to rub Tang Moqi's hair.
Tang Moqi looked at the shameless smile of the person in front of him, and the corners of his forehead jumped with green tendons. Immediately stretched out his foot and kicked him, dropped the sentence "I'm waiting for you in Kyoto", and ran away.
Tang Jianfeng sent Tang Moqi and the three of them away with a spring breeze on his face, and immediately returned to the army to report, before leaving, Tang Moqi told him to return to Beijing in early June, thinking of the real concern in Tang Moqi's eyes, Tang Jianfeng smiled widely, and the little soldier next to him accidentally caught a glimpse of his smile, and couldn't help but shudder, is this still their devil instructor who is known for being cold-blooded and inhumane? Please, don't laugh, your legs are weak!
Tang Moqi and the three of them were not ready to get out of the car to rest until more than ten o'clock in the evening, at this time they had just left the border of J Province, just passing through a small town in S Province, there was no epicenter near here, the magnitude of the earthquake was less than five degrees, and the damage was small, only one or two dangerous houses collapsed, and one person died.
A few minutes later, Ye Jin parked the car in front of a guest house, probably because of the earthquake, so late now every house is still lit up, and the whole town is brightly lit. The guest house is very simple, with only one standard room left. Tang Moqi and Ye Jin were not picky. Ye Jin is a soldier, and he has been in any difficult environment, not to mention Tang Moqi, who has slept in the pile of dead people in the previous life. And Ye Zeyue was already sleepy, and he immediately fell asleep when he touched the pillow.
Tang Moqi and Ye Jin were also very tired, but even more hungry, the two went out for a spin, sat down in a shop that sold small stir-fries, and ordered a few dishes casually to eat.
The only thing in the store besides them was the owner, who sat at the next table and chatted with them. As they talked, they talked about the funeral going on on that side of town.
The shopkeeper slapped his thigh, lowered his voice secretly with weird excitement, nodded his chin and said, "You guys really collapsed the house and crushed people to death?" Seeing the two of them looking at him blankly, the shopkeeper stretched out a finger and pointed out the door, and still said in a low voice, "This is all to deceive you outsiders, deal with the above statement, who in our town doesn't know that Li Si'er died in the mine? "The shopkeeper stared at them with a look of begging me, begging me, and I will tell you.
"Mine, what mine?" Tang Moqi's heart moved, and he asked pretending to be very interested.
The shopkeeper's vanity was satisfied, and he immediately opened the conversation box and talked for half an hour. Ye Jin saw that Tang Moqi was interested, and he couldn't interrupt, so he could only listen to these gossips patiently.
It turned out that a year ago, a family near this town built a new house, and every family in the countryside had a well, and the family was also ready to dig a well, but then they dug and dug out, dug out the coal, and found an expert to identify it, it was still high-quality anthracite, but although the quality was good, the storage capacity was very small. After reporting to the state, there was no movement, and the family thought that the coal was found under the foundation of their own house, and now that the coal has been dug up, the newly built house can no longer be inhabited, so it is better to secretly dig coal in their own house and sell it, which is a stable income at no cost.
So the family got a few machines, recruited a few people in the town to start digging coal, because of the small storage capacity, to give the town officials some benefits, everyone turned a blind eye and did not know.
Originally, I had been working for more than half a year, and finally I saw the coal pulled out, and I began to make some money, but this was an earthquake, which collapsed half of the mine, and a worker in the town was buried, and it was not dug up until the night, and there were still human lives, and they died thoroughly. The family was afraid that it would be difficult to clean up when the matter spread out, so they immediately paid a large amount of money to the family, sealed their mouths, and said to the outside world that the earthquake caused the collapse of the dangerous house and stoned to death.
Now that the family had just sold the coal for a few months, the money had been lost, and several workers were clamoring for wages to resign for fear of danger.
Tang Moqi already had an idea in his heart when he heard this, and he paid the money after a glance with Ye Jin, except for the small restaurant and went back to the guest house.
Ye Jin also thought of the extreme climate of the Xiaoice River period in the last days that Tang Moqi said, and he was also faintly aware of his plan in his heart, and glanced at Tang Moqi, whose eyes were rolling and bone-turning, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
