The fire lasted for two days and two nights, and everything that could be burned was reduced to ashes.

Li Tang took the dog Dan'er to take the first step, Bai Chen stayed to do the aftermath of the entrusted content, those unjust souls who were burned to death, if they were allowed to wander in the sun, I am afraid that something would go wrong.

In order to avoid being discovered by the officers, Li Tang walked all the way on foot, trying his best to avoid encountering them.

Oh, of course, in addition to the dog, there is also a ghost who followed Li Tang back - Xu Shenghan.

Guan Lin Village is gone, Bai Jinmei's soul is gone, and he has no place to go, so it is better to follow back to the soul pawnshop in order to get a relief.

When Bai Chen caught up, it was already three days later, and the glass bottle he carried with him had turned from the originally clean soft light to gray-black filth in the blink of an eye.

"How's Ah Ning?"

At night, a few people stayed in a private hotel, near the sea, where fishing boats were the majority, and at night the shore was full of people and boats.

The evening breeze blew a burst of coolness, with the smell of the sea, Li Tang leaned on the bridge of the pier, looking at the black sea, the lights of the fishing boats twinkling with stars. Motionless, it's like turning into a statue.

Bai Chen handed over a bottle of liquor, turned over and sat on the edge of Li Tang, following his gaze, but he didn't know what he was looking at.

"I don't know." It's been a while since he came out, but when he left, Ah Ning was fine, he took a commission and left with someone, as for how he is doing now, he doesn't know at all.

Bai Chen took a sip of the wine in his hand, shook it a few times, and hit Li Tang on the shoulder: "I'll just ask, are you still not happy to say it?" What kind of garlic to put in it? ”

At that time, when Li Tang was about to lose his breath, Ah Ning's reaction, he hadn't seen it, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary. Now, he just asked, wondering if Brother Sheng had let Ah Ning go, and this kid was still not happy to say it?

This is also stingy, thinking that at the beginning, he was in danger of being scolded by Brother Sheng, and went down to drug him.

"I really don't know."

Li Tang casually knocked open the wine bottle and took a sip, the liquor went down his throat, a hot and spicy taste, and he was almost choked, and then he just looked at the sea quietly, without saying a word, and did not want to talk about this topic.

The boats came and went at the wharf, and the sound of horns was incessant, mixed with the complaints of coolies and the cries of roadside vendors.

"Gotta get it, you don't have to say it." Bai Chen waved his hand, shook his head, obviously drank a little too much, and didn't think about it when he spoke, "Tell me, just like you, pulling your face all day long, as if someone owes you, why did Ah Ning fall in love with you?" After a while, he took a sip and muttered again, "I really don't understand......"

"I don't understand either." It seemed that he was silent for a while before he remembered to speak, but what he said made Bai Chen angry.

"You don't understand, who understands? You kid is really cheap and good! ……”

Bai Chen got drunk with a bottle of liquor, leaned on the bridge pier, and pushed Li Tang twice from time to time, he was really jealous, why could Li Tang easily get what he wanted, but he couldn't?

Compared to Li Tang's stinky face, what is wrong with him?

"Do you like Ah Ning?"

Li Tang raised his head, looking at the tranquility of the night, dotted with stars, and when Bai Chen was stunned, he took another sip, and the liquor slipped into his stomach, and he was hot for a while.

"I like it!" Bai Chen sat up, straightened his back, stretched out his arms, and moved his muscles.

"How much do you like it?"

"I like it more than you kid anyway." Bai Chen muttered a little unpleasantly, and then squinted at Li Tang's side face again, and asked for a long time: "I saved your life, will you give Ah Ning to me?" ”

"No, it won't." Almost blurted out, without thinking about it, the voice was not big or small, just enough for Bai Chen to hear, faint, but with irrefutable power.

Bai Chen shook his head and laughed a few times: "Why are you answering so quickly?" A hand was placed on Li Tang's shoulder, "Even if you don't agree, I won't give up, and when Ah Ning falls in love with me one day, you can't let me do it if you want to." ”

Li Tang didn't answer, maybe, but if there was really such a day, it would have come a long time ago, for so many years, the two of them have always had such a nondescript relationship, obviously they can't even live in the same room, but they still cling to that unwarranted title.

Seeing Li Tang in a daze, Bai Chen snatched the wine bottle in his hand, took another sip, shook the wine bottle, his consciousness was hazy, and he was even more reckless when he spoke: "Do you know how much Ah Ning hates you?" ”

"Yes."

The voice was as faint as ever, but his face was not very good-looking, Li Tang frowned, looking at the drunken Bai Chen. Suddenly told what happened eighteen years ago, this kid felt uncomfortable, it was natural, but he drank too much, and asked him to go crazy with alcohol, what does it mean?

"You know it's still so horizontal?" Bai Chen patted Li Tang's back again, as if to vent his dissatisfaction, "Woman, just like a flower, you have to hold her in the palm of your hand to protect her, if you make a mistake, you have to change it immediately." She's happy, you have to coax, she's unhappy, you have to coax even more. Like you, I really can't figure it out, how can there be someone rare? ”

"Who did you listen to?" As far as Bai Chen's brain is concerned, he has never seen any girl he likes, let alone realized this kind of thing.

"Don't you all say that big brother on this dock?"

Of the workers who come and go on the docks, which one person doesn't carry the whole family? Relying on a meager income, it is a blessing to be able to please a wife, how can there be any reason not to cherish it?

Li Tang let Bai Chen drag himself to get drunk, what the hell was he doing? I said that I was a ghost of revenge, so why bother to act and think that I was dragging Ah Ning affectionately?

Besides, in that matter, even if Ah Ning relented and forgave him, he himself would not forgive himself.

With blood on his hands that he shouldn't have touched, he lost the right to grasp the happiness of the future.

"What if ......," Li Tang said suddenly, as if muttering, "I mean, if I can give Ah Ning to you, will you be good to her?" ”

Bai Chen, who was making a fuss, thought that Li Tang was joking, and just wanted to tease him back, but when he saw his serious expression, he closed his arms and folded them on his chest: "Of course it will." ”

"How nice?"

Li Tang turned his face and asked, as if as long as he decided, Ah Ning would really accept Bai Chen's wishes.

"It's as good as it can be, even if it's a star in the sky, if she wants it, I'll take it off for her. It won't make her angry, it won't make her sad, it won't make her shed a tear......"

The sound grew lower and lower, and finally dissipated into the wind, disappearing into the noisy but calm night of the docks......
