Chapter 22: Three Men and One Woman
It's easy to get enchanted by the hustle and bustle of the city, but who can see what's behind the hustle and bustle?
The rich are only a small minority of this world, and they are not at the top of the pyramid, and this pyramid extends downward, and there is no end to it, perhaps only when people despair and fall, and then it becomes death.
Many, many years ago, an abandoned water tower would often climb a few children without a father, a mother, and no one cared about them, no one knew what these children lived on, and no one cared about their future, but it could not stop them from living without fear and care.
"Hong Liang, who do you say Xiaoying likes of our three?" The three teenagers looked at Xuzhou in the distance, although their faces were immature, they also had vicissitudes unknown to outsiders.
A young man with a gray hat shook his head, with a puzzled expression, only the old evil who wore this tendon to reveal the scale of the scale laughed: "Xiaoying will definitely not choose you, if you do, I will be mixed with you in this life." ”
The roe deer said with a suffocated face: "Yesterday, Xiaoying smiled at me, and said okay, if Xiaoying becomes my daughter-in-law, you will be my little brother." ”
"Okay, but let's see if you have the guts to accept it then." The old evil shook his arm, as if he could knock out the skinny roe deer with a single punch.
The roe deer nodded vigorously, but his appearance was very funny, like a child holding back tears, not to mention two of him, even if he was divided into ten clones, it was estimated that he was not an opponent of the old evil with rough skin and thick flesh.
"Here comes the beer." A sweet voice sounded behind them, and the three of them immediately became honest and stopped discussing this topic that they don't know how many years they had discussed. Hong Liang helped the girl in the blue school uniform of the junior high school to the high water tower, in fact, this school uniform was brought by their brother from a nearby middle school, because there were too many patches on the clothes worn by Xiaoying, although their clothes were not presentable.
Four bottles of beer is a lot of money for them, but every week they fix one day in this water tower, rain or shine, and no one knows what they are for, maybe just for their son of a bitch.
The roe deer secretly looked at Xiaoying, and was knocked a chestnut by the old evil, which caused Xiaoying to laugh non-stop, but he could hear the laughter of the silver bell, and the roe deer would rather take a few more hits.
Sixteen-year-old Xiaoying is already slim and looks extraordinarily elegant, but none of the bastards in this neighborhood dare to fight Xiaoying, because there are three flower messengers who will kill at any time.
The three of them poured beer into their stomachs after a while, Xiaoying only drank a small half, her face was slightly red, and she looked cute, in fact, she drank very poorly, but she would finish a bottle of beer every time, no matter how the three animals around her persuaded her.
Leaning on the rusty railing of the water tower, Hong Liang felt out the crumpled half-wrapped red tower mountain, but he couldn't light it because of the strong wind. In the end, he simply gave up, and finally watched Xiaoying sort out the green silk like the two animals around him.
"If only the four of us could be together in this life." The old evil, who is recognized as having well-developed limbs and a simple mind, couldn't help but sigh.
"Say anything, that's for sure." The roe deer is very bold to provoke the old evil, but this time it didn't suffer the old evil's painful chestnut.
"Definitely." Xiaoying muttered softly, not loudly, as if it was immediately blown away by this somewhat strong wind, but the three teenagers around him heard it clearly, although they didn't say much, they were all imprinted in their bones.
"Whoever marries Xiaoying must be happy for eight lifetimes." The old evil suddenly came up with such a sentence without a head, and the face of the little shadow was red, and finally found an excuse to go down the lighthouse first.
The roe deer glared at the old evil and said: "As long as you kid is talkative, let's make it clear first, and whoever Xiaoying chooses from our three brothers in the future will not be anxious." ”
The old evil moved his fingers, and the joints kept crackling, obviously the roe deer kid had to inch in again, first cleaned up the roe deer, and then sneered: "You better enter the blacklist first, Xiaoying likes men with a sense of security." ”
Hong Liang has been silent on the side, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking at this pair of living treasures with a smile, but thinking about the sigh that the old evil just now.
"Why don't I have a sense of security, it's a big deal to have a child in the future and recognize you as a godfather." The roe deer covered his green forehead, still not yielding, this guy can give in anywhere, but on this matter.
The old evil had an angry and funny expression, and he didn't have a problem with this roe deer at all.
In the bumpy car, the roe deer suddenly woke up, as if he had a dream, and the saddest thing is that the good dream passed, leaving behind an unchangeable reality, why did Xiaoying choose him back then, why? The roe deer felt a splitting headache.
"Roe deer, are you alright?" The voice of the old evil once again pulled the roe deer back to reality, and at this time the roe deer came back to his senses, looking at the old evil who was sitting in the back seat with him, and the face of the car was gloomy and loud.
The roe deer shook his head, lit a cigarette, and the car was filled with smoke.
There was a dead silence in the car again
At the train station, Zhao Kuangran dialed Gong San'er's mobile phone number again, and the person who answered the phone was still the man with a low voice and a little gloomy.
The man asked where Zhao Kuangran was, and asked Zhao Kuangran to wait, and he went to Zhao Kuangran.
In less than twenty minutes, a black business stopped in front of Zhao Kuangran, and there were only a few passers-by coming and going at the deserted south gate, so Zhao Kuangran recognized himself at a glance There was no surprise that Zhao Kuangran recognized himself at a glance.
Zhao Kuangran didn't ask much, he simply got into the car neatly, and the man driving didn't say much, he started the car directly, turned left and right, and Zhao Kuangran didn't know where the man was going to take him.
Through the reflector, Zhao Kuang looked at the man who was driving, wearing a black coat and a black mask, exuding gloom all over his body, and the hat he was wearing was also low, so he couldn't see the man's appearance at all, but Zhao Kuangran could be sure that this man was also looking at him.
Finally, the man stopped the car in a small alley, and the two still got out of the car tacitly, the man was reluctant to speak, and Zhao Kuangchao would not ask more, and followed the man to the somewhat dilapidated two-story building.
The whole building is very in line with the characteristics of this man, not ordinary gloom, as if it has not been sunshine for many years, Zhao Kuang stepped on the first step and felt a cold wind behind him, but when he looked back, it was empty.
The man kept leading Zhao Kuangran into a slightly larger room on the second floor, opened the curtains, and finally made the room brighter, but it was still cold.
Zhao Kuangran carefully sat on the sofa, although this room was dark enough, but it was all cleaned up in an orderly manner, or there were no superfluous furnishings at all, there were only two sofas in the whole room, in the middle was a coffee table full of cigarette boxes, and the only remaining decoration was that there was an old clock behind the sofa made by the man, and there was a huge blackboard densely written on the wall of the more peculiar room, Zhao Kuangchao looked at these unfamiliar names, completely confused, but it happened to be the name of Gong San'er.
"To drink water or not?" The man didn't take off his mask and finally asked.
Zhao Kuang shook his head, to be honest, he really didn't dare to drink the water that this man handed him.
The man didn't say anything superfluous, poured himself a cup of tea that wasn't steaming, pushed the mask up, and drank it with his pale chin exposed.
Zhao Kuangran's eyelids jumped, he noticed something, the man's mouth seemed to have been cut open, and the wound still extended upward, but the rest was blocked by a mask.
"Gong San has been praising you non-stop, and it's a little amazing, I really haven't seen many shining points when I see you, but it's over the passing line." After the man drank the water, he put down the mask again, and the eyes with heavy dark circles looked at Zhao Kuangchao like this, as if he was looking at Zhao Kuangchao's up and down.
Zhao Kuang touched his head embarrassedly, and secretly scolded Gong San'er for bragging and farting outside again.
"You just call me Brother Fo, it shouldn't be a loss." The man looked at Zhao Kuangran's appearance that he was not good at communicating, and seemed to smile, but it was only Zhao Kuangchao who felt that the man smiled.
"Who was the master captured?" Zhao Kuangran couldn't help but ask, if this matter is really as this man said on the phone, now is not the time to talk about family life.
"Xuzhou is in charge." The man's answer was crisp and clear, but the few words had much more meaning.
Zhao Kuangran was a little confused, what the hell is this Xuzhou master.
"In other words, it's Pan Weigong in Xuzhou, I think you should know that the old immortal." The man's voice seemed to contain some special feelings this time, especially when Pan Weigong bit the three words.
Zhao Kuang said that he was not surprised that it was fake, and tried his best to sort out the feelings, this Gong San'er really deserved the name of the master, and all the people he provoked were ten characters who couldn't be parried by themselves.
"But don't worry, Gong San must have lived a better life than us, and now he may be bragging and farting with his old father-in-law." The man seemed to know what Zhao Kuangran was worried about, and gave Zhao Kuangchao a reassurance, but Zhao Kuangran's doubts were even more, what did this old man mean?
