Chapter Twenty-Four: Tricking My Friend and Taking My Woman?

The car turned out of Chang'an, the night wind was very cold, and Chu Ji'an wrapped his windbreaker tightly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He knew that he would probably find peace even more difficult in the future, and Momen would never stop there. I thought that the caller should be Duanmu Qingyin's boyfriend, but I don't know why I called so late. Could it be that the people in Momen, who lost their troops and lost their generals, couldn't take responsibility and didn't tell him until so late?

It was autumn when Shaminghu got married. Chu Ji'an saw it from her signature. That night, Chu Ji was as relieved as a knife, covering the quilt and crying bitterly. It was because he retreated when Duanmu Qingyin and the man cried bitterly. He has tasted the pain of losing his loved ones, and he should do unto others as he would have them do unto him. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: Can't I be completely bad?

In the days that followed, Chu Ji'an traveled all over China. And Momen's ghost is not gone, and he can always be found. Eventually, he settled in a small town in the mountains of Gan Province.

Gan Province is located deep in the northwest inland, and the warm and humid airflow of the three major plateaus is not easy to reach, and the climate is dry, so it is not a habitable place.

He rented the second floor of a concrete faΓ§ade building facing the street. The economy here is underdeveloped, and a rent of 2,000 yuan a year is sufficient. Downstairs is a ramen restaurant. The landlord is the owner and master chef of the ramen restaurant, and the husband and wife work hard to run the store. In order to earn a little more, he rented the second floor to Chu Ji'an.

Chu Ji'an curled up here, cultivating diligently every day. Occasionally, when I am bored, I go down to watch the master master roll the noodles. In this backward town where simplicity and cunning coexist, it is also peaceful and comfortable.

Sha Minghu and Momen are very far away from him. It seems to be a lifetime ago. Drink mutton soup and eat a bowl of ramen every day. One day, when I love to do it, I will make dumplings from my hometown by myself.

No one knew that he was the master of all things with amazing skills. He told the people here that he had graduated from university and had difficulty adapting to city life, so he had come to live here.

The landlord, Ma Ge, is not a Hui and likes to drink. Chu Ji'an also likes to drink some beer. The two slowly became drinking friends and often drank together after closing. The proprietress is surnamed Chen, and Chu Ji'an calls her Sister Ma. has a gentle temperament, and is always not tired, so he buys a little appetizer for the two. Occasionally, I would come over for a drink or two.

When the wine is hot, Sister Ma will sing a little northwest folk song Xintianyou. The unprofessional singing voice, with the roughness of the Northwest, has a special flavor of its own. Seeing the harmony and happiness of the Ma family, Chu Ji'an also had the idea of marrying a local daughter-in-law and growing here for the rest of his life.

So when Sister Chen asked him what he planned to do if he was idle and didn't work, he said that he was a writer. This time, in addition to being affectionate, the Ma couple had more respect for him, and they also had an answer to Chu Ji'an's closed door on weekdays. Chu Ji'an took advantage of the drunkenness and begged Sister Ma to find a good match for him.

Sister Ma is a warm-hearted and careful person, and two months later, Chu Ji'an had a girlfriend. My girlfriend's name is Chen Yi, and she is a third-grade Chinese teacher in the town's primary school. He is dignified and kind.

Chu Ji'an is already quite satisfied, Chen Yi also fell in love with him at first sight, and the aura of the writer's name is even more in line with her Wenqing's heart, and there is a kind of meaning that you will not marry. Chu Ji'an looked back at the past, like a dream, and An An's life was dull to old age.

On this day, Chu Ji'an was cultivating and was awakened by the sound of quarrels, cries and smashing things from downstairs. He threw open the door with slippers and clothes on, and went downstairs.

The first floor was already unrecognizable, and tables, chairs, pots and pans were smashed to the ground. A few sturdy men were looking around for something to smash with steel pipes.

Sister Ma threw herself on Brother Ma who was lying on the ground and cried bitterly. Brother Ma's head was red with blood, and he didn't move.

Chu Ji'an's tall and thin man appeared, and several steel pipe men looked at him together. The first one pointed at Chu Ji'an with a steel pipe and shouted in the local dialect: "Who are you?" It's okay to get out of here! ”

Chu Ji'an ignored him and hurried over to check on Brother Ma's injuries. I saw that the top of his head was opened, and the blood was gushing. I took out my phone and dialed 120.

Before the mobile phone could be dialed out, it was slapped by a steel pipe man behind him. Then he kicked Chu Ji'an to the ground and shouted, "Call the police!" Don't you want to die? ”

Chu Ji'an didn't answer, and reached out to pick up the underground mobile phone. The man smashed the phone with one kick. The muscles on Chu Ji'an's face twitched. Standing up, he asked in a deep voice, "I just wanted to call for an ambulance." Who are you? How did he mess with you? ”

"They said that yesterday when your brother Ma drove through Giethoorn, they stopped the car, and your brother Ma ignored it. So come over today and ask for an explanation. Sister Ma cried and said, "Your brother Ma has always been kind." Not to mention the villagers, even if someone he doesn't know asks him to give him a ride, he will pull it. It must have been patronizing the car and didn't see it. When they come, they beat people. "Brother Ma has a tricycle that he uses to pull things.

Chu Ji'an asked the man: "This matter?" Just beat people like this? ”

"What's wrong with dissatisfaction? You want to suffer too, don't you? The man's eyes showed a fierce look.

Chu Ji'an had no intention of entanglement with them, and beckoned his neighbors to hurry up and send Ma Ge to the town clinic. There are a lot of people watching the excitement, and there are not many who help, and they seem to be afraid of the obscenity of the steel pipe man. Chu Ji'an watched them pull people away in a rack car. Turning around, he asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

The steel pipe man at the head snorted and said, "Easy to do!" Let them sell me this storefront. That's the end of it. Otherwise......" sneered, greeted the others, and walked away.

Seeing them depart in a few high-powered motorcycles, the lively people began to talk. Chu Ji'an saw Wang Houdao, a neighbor who had just avoided and refused to reach out to help Brother Ma to go to the clinic, standing in the middle of the crowd, spitting about today's events. He stepped forward and said, "Brother Wang, they are all neighbors, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you did this beautifully today." ”

Wang Houdao's dry and rough face flushed, shook his head, pulled Chu Ji'an into the room, and told the story of the matter.

The people who came to smash the store today were the Meng brothers, who were the tyrants in the town. The four Meng brothers, all of whom are tall and big, rely on many brothers to run rampant in the township. The so-called Brother Ma doesn't pull them is just an excuse, the purpose is that they have long taken a fancy to Brother Ma's store, intending to buy and rent it.

I have asked someone many times before, but Brother Ma is a place to live and live because of this, so he refused. It was the Meng brothers who deliberately found fault and found trouble.

Chu Ji'an listened, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, I know." ”

Ma Ge quickly recovered his health, the ramen shop was open as usual, and the Meng brothers stopped and did not provoke again. As if none of this had ever happened, the small town was as quiet and normal as it had been for thousands of years.

At the end of the month, Chu Ji'an came over with half a year's rent and planned to hand it over to Sister Ma.

Sister Ma pushed it back, her eyes red. Choked up: "Ji'an, don't give me rent." I am grateful to you for your kindness in this life. ”

Chu Ji'an was speechless.

Sister Ma continued: "You quietly went and gave the Meng family 50,000 yuan, so that they should not make trouble again, and they should not be allowed to say it." I've heard people say that. Your brother and I will make it up for you. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Chu Ji'an was at a loss, and said after a while: "You take the rent, after all, you don't have much money." I still have plenty of money, and besides, if you don't bring it with you in life or death, you just need to use it where it should be used. You don't have to pay it back. We're friends. ”

While they were arguing, suddenly the motorcycle roared, and a high-horsepower motorcycle stopped at the door. The two men who came in were none other than the Meng brothers.

Seeing this, Sister Ma shrank in fright, and Chu Ji'an gently pulled her behind her, stepped forward, and covered her. One of the Meng brothers pointed at Chu Ji'an and said, "Little white face, I warn you, Chen Yi is the woman that Meng Laosi has taken a fancy to. You acquaintance, hurry up and pack up my things and get out! ”
