Chapter 49 Li Zhilin is also safe
"Then it's even more unlikely that I should leave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info wait for your friends to come, and also go to save people together, there is a lot of power. I was a little anxious and talked to Li Zhilin, hoping that he would agree to my request.
But Li Zhilin turned his head as if he hadn't heard anything, and no matter what I said, he was unmoved, and as I continued to fight, the car driving on the opposite side flashed its headlights, followed by a very loud horn sound. "Here's the guy who picked you up." Li Zhilin pressed the horn in response, and after the door of the opposite car opened, a person who walked down opened the door on my side and dragged me out directly. I struggled to shake off the man's grip, but the other party's strength was so great that I couldn't even reach the door, and they were taken to another car. With the screeching sound of the tires rubbing against the ground, Li Zhilin had already driven the car away, and only the smaller and smaller back appeared in my field of vision.
"Okay, don't look at it, you can't catch up with him anyway." The other party helped me close the car door, "He asked me to take you home." ”
"Oh." I perfunctorily watched him go around to the gap on the other side, and was about to push the door open and run out, but I could feel someone behind me holding me down on the shoulder. I cautiously turned around and saw another person in the back seat of the car, looking at me with a smile.
"Hello." I said hello awkwardly. The other man smiled and waved at me.
"Fasten your seatbelts." The person who pulled me away from Li Zhilin just now also returned to the car at this time, "You, you can go home all the time." He had long thought that you might not leave with us willingly, so when he called, he asked me to take one more person, watch you, and send you home safely. Go ahead. ”
"What are you talking about?" Thinking of being calculated like this by Li Zhilin made me feel unhappy for a while.
"Stupid, the address of your house, Li Zhilin didn't tell me." The other party looked at me with contempt, and sure enough, the old saying is true, things gather by like, people are grouped, Li Zhilin is surrounded by nasty ghosts,
"Hey, you don't even know the address of your home." The people behind me followed with cynicism, and look, they were all nasty ghosts.
"Riverside villa area." I named the location of the auction.
The other party pouted: "Don't lie, isn't that where you two went just now?" The address of your home. ”
"Riverside villa area." I repeat it again.
The other party glanced at me, didn't say anything more, drove away directly, and drove forward casually.
"Wouldn't you worry about your best friend?" I asked, a little angrily.
The other party replied very simply: "No, if he needs my help, he will speak directly, he is not the kind of secretive character, when he needs our help, he will say it unceremoniously, just like we will take you away." When he called, he said he had a big problem and needed us to help him deal with it. When the people in the back seat of the car heard him say this, they laughed without giving face at all, and echoed and said, "Yes, it can be seen that it is a big trouble." ”
"I hate it, I'm not someone else's trouble." The words of the two of them made me angry, and I felt that if I were to add a fire to it now, I would definitely explode on the spot. The car slowly drove to the city, and we were getting farther and farther away from Li Zhilin. I felt the shock of uneasiness in my heart.
"You really don't need to worry about him." The person next to me probably sensed my uneasiness and didn't say anything more annoying.
"He went back to save another person. I felt guilty because it was I who had been willful in the first place to let him risk his reputation to accompany me to this auction. I feel very sorry for him and his friends that he knew about the danger early and did not choose to leave, but drove me away and faced myself with the danger that I should have suffered. If not, the two of them should be able to get out quickly. I had to save them, so please. ”
"Then I can't let you go back, it's so dangerous, if you let you go back and face the danger, you will definitely be beaten to death by Zhilin." The other party kicked the accelerator, which made me feel sorry for the fuel fee, I didn't know that the oil price is so expensive that it makes people jealous of the rich people.
When I drove to the city center, it was almost 12 midnight, and the other party finally stopped the car: "Do you want to have supper?" ”
"I don't have an appetite now." I complained a little impatiently.
The other party was a little impatient: "Oh, don't worry about it, he'll be fine." He's not a stupid, desperate fool like you. Zhilin has been very smart since he was a child, and he belongs to a person who is both courageous and wise. It keeps you out of trouble and it also keeps you out of danger. He's only going to do it when he's fully prepared, and whether it's him, or the other person you're talking about, he'll get out of the way. So, you don't have to worry about it, your IQ is still more suitable to think about what to eat for supper later. ”
"You know Li Zhilin very well?" Seeing the other party's sworn appearance, I was a little relieved, but I was still worried about Li Zhilin's current situation.
The other party was not ambiguous, and told me bluntly that he and the person in the back seat were friends of Li Zhilin. His name is Qi Guang, and he met Li Zhilin when he went abroad to study in middle school, and the person sitting in the back seat is called Jiang Yuan, who is Li Zhilin's junior brother.
"Senior brother?" I don't quite understand what this title is about, "It should be a junior, right?" ”
"Not really." The man behind him suddenly spoke, "We didn't know each other at school. We are learning the craft in the same Fu Mingxia. Do you know that Li Zhilin has been doing antique appraisal before becoming an auctioneer? ”
I nodded, "He's told me about it." ”
The person behind him lay directly on my backrest, so frightened that I quickly moved forward before turning around, he was happily recalling: "Zhilin and I have been learning to make pottery with a master since we were very young, because my family has been making pottery for generations, so I had to learn the craft from the craftsman master invited by the family since I was a child, and Zhilin learned because he liked it." Zhilin and I took courses at about the same time, but I was a little younger than him, so I was his junior. According to common sense, it should be that I behave better, after all, I have been exposed to this environment since birth, and I should naturally be better than others. However, I didn't like that environment at all, I didn't pay attention to studying, I studied for more than two years, and I didn't grow at all, but Li Zhilin was different, he liked to make pottery very much, and he was very talented, and he was also hardworking, and he soon surpassed many apprentices in the class who had studied with the master for many years. Now think about how scary he is about pottery, and you probably can't imagine an eight-year-old child spending the day sitting at a turntable polishing his creations. It is difficult for a child to have such perseverance and patience, but Li Zhilin does this almost every day, and he seems to prefer to stay in the workshop rather than go to school. At that time, the two of us were the same age, and when we weren't usually making pottery, we would play some normal children's basketball and football, but once we entered the workshop, Li Zhilin was like a fascination, staying quietly in front of the turntable or kiln, like a mature adult. Looking at him at that time, I always felt that I saw a mini version of the master. Jiang Yuan gestured with his hand when he said this, "So, the master likes him very much, and he wants to accept him as a closed disciple, which makes the people around him very jealous." But I'm the only one who has a dark heart. When he said this, Jiang Yuanwu laughed to himself, leaking out two shiny little tiger teeth.
"Huh?" I looked at Jiang Yuan with some confusion.
Jiang Yuan touched the back of his head: "Because I don't want to inherit the family business." As the eldest son and grandson of the family, I really have no interest in antiques and works of art such as pottery. You know how devastating I was sitting in front of a turntable and muddy, and going to class was like killing me. And when I was young, I couldn't understand the importance of the family business, and once when I was scolded by my father, I also said that when I was looking for a fight, I would abolish this family business and take everyone to do other businesses. I was so angry that my dad slapped me in front of everyone, and my mom and my grandma rarely didn't stop my dad from beating me, and they were punished for not being allowed to eat that day. At that time, I was very aggrieved, thinking why should I guard that little workshop that was not cool at all, anyway, I was angry for many days, and threatened that if my family still forced me to study with the master, I would starve myself to death. ”
"It's really super capricious, and the elders value this kind of thing very much. After all, I don't want to see my family business in the hands of my children and grandchildren. For them, seeing their home being ruined is like doing evil. "I can understand his dad's anger, just like the disappointment in his dad's eyes when I rebelled against all my parents' arrangements when I was in school, but in the end, the person who loves you will grit his teeth and make compromises for you." So you forced them to compromise like a jerk? "I know I'm choking on words right now.
"That's right." Jiang Yuan didn't care about my unfriendly tone, "You're right, I'm just a bastard boy, I stubbornly knelt in front of my family's ancestors and ancestors, but I didn't reflect, I kept angry with my family, I didn't eat or drink, and finally my legs were numb, that was my most persevering time." You're right, I'm trying to get my family to agree to my choice. In the end, my grandmother couldn't stand it anymore, so she took me away, and said a lot of truths, but I didn't listen to half of it, and I could ignore the disappointment in her eyes. After this time, I wanted to liberate myself, blatantly skipped the master's class, and finally ran away from home without even going, and was scolded. When he was caught and locked up, he didn't eat or drink, anyway, like everyone in the rebellious period, he was proud of being disobedient. Resisted stubbornly, and left everyone bruised, anyway, in the end, my whole family was disappointed in me, and simply let me mess around, but on the condition that I cut off relations with my family, never go back, and never use my original surname. ”
"You were only 8 years old at the time, right?" I didn't believe what I heard.
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "I didn't just toss for another year, didn't I say that that was when I had the most perseverance?" I resisted for nearly ten years, and I was ignorant for ten years, and finally at the age of eighteen, I completely cut off all contact with my family, lost the family name that my family was proud of, and went to meet the beautiful life I thought I had. Do you know what the most asshole thing I ever did at that time? At this time, Jiang Yuan's eyes were clouded with a layer of helplessness and regret, "My grandmother once asked me when I stepped out of the house, would I rather leave her who loves me the most than leave that home?" You know what, I nodded. ”
"So Jiang is not your last name?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Zhilin chose the name for me from Chu Ci, saying that he hoped that I would swim against the current in a difficult situation. ”
"You went to find him when you left home?" I looked at Jiang Yuan curiously.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and played with his nails boringly: "How is it possible, my dream since I was a child was to stay away from him." Because whenever there is a place for him, I think of painful memories of my childhood. Those days when I was a kid and were forced to fight with the mud in front of the turntable; There are also painful memories of constantly comparing him with him and being constantly scolded, anyway, I am very annoyed to see him, and when I see him, I will feel very unhappy. But I don't have the ability to do it alone, and after I get free, my daily life is to eat and wait for death. In the past, in order to rebel against his family, whether it was Master's class or the class in school, he almost ran away, he couldn't do anything, he didn't have any strength, and he did nothing all day. Occasionally, if you want to find some money to spend, you can only go to the construction site to work as a handyman. But when I saw the pictures on the construction site, I was also very upset, and I became irritable, and finally I couldn't even work as a temporary worker. In the end, I couldn't do anything, so I fooled around with a bunch of idle people like me in society, and became a ruffian. Jiang Yuan put on an indifferent appearance, and the whole person collapsed in the back seat.
"And then."
"What else can I do, didn't I say that I've been eating and waiting to die." He covered his eyes with his hands, "I'm so sleepy, when can I go home and sleep." ”
"But you still became good friends with Zhilin." And looking at Jiang Yuan now, even if the tone on his lips is very bad, but I can't see the bluff he just said, it's hard to imagine that he used to be the kind of chaos that he said in his mouth.
"You're so long-winded." Jiang Yuan complained, I just wanted to ask something more when Qi Guang's phone rang, the expression on his face gradually became clearer, he hung up the phone, and told us that Li Zhilin had escaped safely with another person, and he was calling to meet Qi Guang. Qi Guang restarted the car a little helplessly, turned his head and said to me: "He guessed that you would not easily tell us the address of your home, so he said that instead of wasting time with you here, he would like to take you to meet him and discuss what to eat for supper." ”
"Okay." I grimaced at Qi Guang, and he glared at me and concentrated on driving.
I then remembered that Jiang Yuan's story was not finished, but when I turned my head, I saw that he had closed his eyes, and his head seemed to be asleep little by little. I stuck out my tongue and had to look back out the window boredly. It was only the moment I turned my head that I didn't see Shohara slowly opening his eyes behind me.
When they arrived at the meeting place, Li Zhilin and Mu Zixuan were standing outside the car discussing something fiercely, and Mu Zixuan was still holding half a cigarette in his hand. As soon as Qi Guang stepped on the brakes, I couldn't wait to jump out of the car and run to Li Zhilin: "You didn't do anything, did you?" ”
Li Zhilin shook his head and spun around in a circle: "Unscathed." But he pointed to Mu Zixuan, who was standing next to him with an unkind face, "This person is more pitiful, and he can't wear clothes anymore." ”
At this time, I noticed that Mu Zixuan's clothes were almost all scratched marks, and he looked very pitiful. I looked at him with some concern: "Are you okay?" Do you want me to inform Mizhen now? ”
"One of you has been messed up like this, and with one of her coming over to mess around, I lost my life today. Why can't you two just stay where you are? Mu Zixuan's temper is a little big, which is very different from the gentle one I saw for the first time. I took a step back, and I admit that I was a little scared when I looked at Mu Zixuan in front of me now.
Li Zhilin silently pulled a distance between me and him and patted me on the shoulder: "You don't pay attention to him, he didn't do his own things neatly, he ate a grenade, and now he blows up when he sees anyone, and he can't talk well." ”
"Oh." I nodded and tugged at Li Zhilin's sleeve: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Li Zhilin leaned down and whispered to me, "Their net leaked, and a big fish was released." But now the two of us can only say so much in front of him, and I'll go back and talk to you about the rest. ”
"Is that big fish Su Baichang?" I looked at Li Zhilin with some gossip.
Li Zhilin pouted: "No, Su Baichang is at most a small shrimp compared to the person he wants to arrest." And if it was Su Baichang, I would definitely leave you there to watch the jokes. ”
"You're making me more and more confused." I tilted my head to look at Su Baichang, "What kind of role is that person in the auction?" ”
"The big boss of the auction. But I said I'll explain it to you later when I get back, and that's the end of the topic for now. Li Zhilin compared an X-shape. Mu Zixuan felt a little embarrassed, and deliberately interrupted us with a cough. "You're talking too much." Mu Zixuan said with some negative anger, then got into the car and closed the car door with a 'bang'. We stood outside in astonishment.
"Your friend has a bad temper. Like a little girl. Qi Guang sighed a little, "How did you bring him here all the way?" After saying that, he exaggerated his heart.
"The way you look now is so contrived." Giving Qi Guang an elbow, Li Zhilin threw Qi Guang his key, "Since you want to know how I brought this bad-tempered guy here, why don't you go and experience it yourself, and drive my car to send him to the boiled fish restaurant that you praise so much." Forgot to tell you that he was the boss there. Li Zhilin pointed to Qi Guang's car again, "I'll drive your car to send the two of them home." ”
Ignoring Qi Guang's complaints from behind him, Li Zhilin blasted me and Jiang Yuan back into the car, "Have you figured out where to go for supper?" Li Zhilin turned his head and asked us.
Jiang Yuan looked at the time: "Now all the stalls have been collected, right?" ”
"You forgot, the proprietress shouldn't have closed the stall yet." Li Zhilin slowly drove the car onto the highway, he glanced in the rearview mirror, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing him safe and sound, my heart felt a lot better.
"Alas, Jiang Yuan, did you see that when Qi Guang heard that Zixuan was the owner of the boiled fish shop that he was thinking about just now, that expression was the same as swallowing a fly, it was really funny."
Jiang Yuan in the back also laughed together: "Who made you lie to him every time, the owner of the boiled fish restaurant is a big beauty, and he swore before that he must chase the boss." At that time, I knew there was fraud when I saw that you were smiling but not smiling, but who knew that it would blow up so badly. ”
Li Zhilin tilted his head slightly to my side, "I lied to Qi Guang that the owner of the shop was Mi Zhen, but this kid really believed my words, and kept clamoring to get to know him, saying that he wanted to learn the skills of cooking." I asked him to come over today to fulfill his dream and let him meet the real boss. After Li Zhilin finished speaking, he still had the same evil smile on his face just now, "I don't know what the two of them will say in the car, I can only pray that Qi Guang's brain reacts quickly enough to realize that the real boss is the boyfriend of the goddess of his dreams." ”
"You're so bad." I shook my head repeatedly, "Why didn't he check with the clerk?" ”
He was full of flowers, of course he confirmed it, but you know, Zixuan's clerks are more afraid of Mi Zhen, so when they asked, everyone nodded subconsciously. I guess I'm afraid it's a spy sent by Mizhen. ”
"That's right." When I remembered that I didn't know Mi Zhen, I was also shocked by her momentum, and I couldn't help but nodded, "However, Qi Guang will not be too miserable." After all, if Mu Zixuan knew Qi Guang's careful thoughts, he would definitely explode. ”
"That's his own business." Qi Guang accosted him in the back, "But Zhilin's friend's temper is really terrible." Disgusting little ghost. ”
"Hey, you're not that old yourself." Maybe because no one was hurt, the atmosphere was much lighter than just now, but we all know that everything is just a superficial cover-up, a cover for the dark tide that we are all deliberately avoiding.
After such a toss, when we arrived at the place where Li Zhilin mentioned that we could eat supper, it was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night, and we drove from one end of the city to another urban-rural junction where he was completely suspected.
"The proprietress 's shop is really open all night, and it won't close no matter how late you go." Li Zhilin seemed more excited than us, and he didn't wait for us, and he was the first to walk into the store.
We walked in the direction of the light source, and it was a small curtain. Because it was summer, the restaurant was not closed, only the curtain was lowered to block the bites of mosquitoes outside. "Boss, we're here." As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Yuan shouted.
"Hey." I hurriedly covered his mouth, "It's the middle of the night, if you scream so loudly, it will make others rest, and we will be beaten." ”
Jiang Yuan just found a place to sit down with Li Zhilin nonchalantly, and after a while, a lady wearing an apron walked out of the back room with a curtain: "Who?" As soon as the words fell, she saw the person clearly, and a surprised expression immediately flashed on her face, "It's Xiaoyuan and Zhilin, you two haven't been here for a long time." What about Qi Guang? Why didn't he come today? ”
"He's not done with his own business yet, so he'll help me pack one later, and we'll bring it back to him." Li Zhilin squeezed his eyes at me.
At this time, the proprietress naturally fell on me, and her face showed a happy expression: "This little girl." She got closer to me again, "Shouldn't it be our Zhilin's girlfriend?" ”
"No, don't make fun of me." I hurriedly explained, but it is estimated that the eldest lady didn't hear it at all, because Jiang Yuan heard the eldest mother say this, and immediately unhappily kept talking about why the eldest lady thought he wouldn't bring his girlfriend over.
"You're like a child. Then he will take care of other people's little girls. Okay, you talk first, I'll ask the kitchen to help you make something soft to eat. Looking at the little girl's face, it was not very good. ”
I shook my head: "It's okay, in the summer, my complexion has not been very good. ”
"Then I'm going to have to make you something good to eat." The eldest lady was very enthusiastic, and while talking, she returned to the gifts, and then brought us drinks and side dishes to cushion our stomachs. I said out of politeness, 'You don't have to take too much trouble to take care of me.' Just like that, he stayed in the air behind the eldest lady.
