Chapter 447: The Unquenchable Lamp
The rain stopped suddenly, the blue sky seemed cleaner, as if it had washed away the lead in the world, and the wind blowing in from the car window carried a fresh breath.
But the car stopped suddenly, and she looked at an old noodle restaurant not far from the car window and muttered, "This is the noodle restaurant?" Will there be someone you're looking for? â
"Get out of the car and take a look." Yang Ming unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the car door and got out of the car with Zhang Rongruo.
There were no people in the streets, the rope signs outside the noodle shop were swaying in the sea breeze, the doors were open, and the smell of fish and shrimp came from inside, and some mixed sounds came out loud from inside, sounding like a group of people in the market were making trouble.
The moment Yang Ming walked in with Zhang Rongruo, the atmosphere in the noodle restaurant suddenly changed, and several strong men who were originally drinking and eating noodles turned their heads at the table over there at the same time, all with a vigilant and curious look in their eyes, and an old woman with age spots and wrinkles on her face behind the counter suddenly greeted with a warm smile, and then walked out with small steps to wipe the table clean, took the menu and asked Yang Ming what he wanted to eat.
Yang Ming ordered a bowl of shrimp noodles in Dongying language, then sat down and glanced around, those men looked like people from the gang, and after looking at this side first, those people turned their heads again and made noisy drinking orders and fists, speaking foul language......
Yang Ming's eyes looked at the figure of the busy old woman in the kitchen not far away, it was an extremely ordinary old woman, ordinary enough to make people feel simple and kind, but if it was connected with a hero like Xisha Lengyue, even an ordinary old woman made him have to observe carefully.
The old woman skillfully picked up the noodles in the kitchen, then cooled them and put them in a bowl, poured the boiled seafood soup into it, and then carefully scooped up a little shrimp with a spoon and carefully shook it off and covered the noodle soup, and then carefully walked out with the noodles.
"Guests should be careful and use it slowly, it will be hot ......"
"Thank you." Yang Ming nodded politely, pushed the first bowl to Zhang Rongruo first, and said, "You taste it!" â
"It smells good!" Zhang Rongruo hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and rolled up a string of noodles and blew on it, then put it in her mouth, chewed a few bites carefully, she couldn't help but let out a sound of appreciation from her nose, and her eyes narrowed into a line with satisfaction.
"Eat slowly!" Yang Ming said angrily, "It's like a starving ghost is reincarnated, didn't you say that the noodles in the mountain city are the best?" â
"It's not bad here, either." Zhang Rongruo smiled, then glanced around, lowered his voice and whispered in Yang Ming's ear, "Is that old lady the person you are looking for?" â
"That's right!" Yang Ming smiled playfully, "Those guys who are drinking, obviously people who have nothing to do, they are drinking and fighting here, the fundamental purpose may be to protect the old woman, but in this way, maybe my purpose of coming is frustrated......"
Yang Ming sighed.
"Huh? What you're looking for is this old lady, why did you fail? Zhang Rong asked puzzled.
"I'm looking for a junior of this old lady, if that person is here, there is no need for these little gangsters to save zĂ i, so I may have guessed wrong, the person I'm looking for didn't come here, otherwise the old lady should be suspicious!"
"Is it possible to pretend?"
"It's not like ......" Yang Ming shook his head and said, "She's too old to pretend to feel that way, if she can pretend to be so natural, then she is much more powerful than Xisha Lengyue, and on the other hand, her steps and demeanor are actually almost to the point where the oil is running out." â
Zhang Rongruo was stunned, looked at the old man who came over with a bowl of noodles, smiled at the old man, and after the old man politely bent down and retreated, she sighed a little complicated and said, "You mean, her health is not good?" â
"Yes, her eyes are not good, and there are arthritis and some diseases...... Yang Ming sighed, "It stands to reason that she shouldn't continue to work so hard, but her hands are very thick with calluses, and she also has the smell of seafood, which shows that she has been taking care of this noodle restaurant by herself, and she is not short of money......"
"Uh...... Then listening to you say this, she is not short of money, and her health is not good, why does she keep opening this noodle restaurant to make it so hard? Zhang Rong asked puzzled, she thought to herself, shouldn't such an old man be able to live for a long time?
"She's waiting for someone!" Yang Ming lowered his head and took a bite of noodles, the taste of noodles made his feelings more complicated, because from the intention of the noodle soup, he seemed to be able to feel the attitude of an old man concentrating on one thing, and he just guessed the reason why the old man had been so focused.
"Wait for someone? Waiting for whom? The one you're looking for? Zhang Rongruo asked in astonishment.
"Yes!" Yang Ming nodded.
"That person is her relative?"
"It's her grandson......"
"Ahh So why didn't he come back to see his grandmother? â
"I don't know ...... either," Yang Ming shook his head and said, "Some people are very strange, such as the person the old lady is waiting for, he may never come to see her, maybe...... He's really dead! â
"Ah......" Zhang Rongruo looked shocked, a dried shrimp sandwiched on the chopsticks fell into the soup, she stared at Yang Ming in shock for a long time before saying bitterly, "If that person dies, wouldn't this old man be very pitiful?" â
"It's very pitiful! People are pitiful when they are old! Yang Ming said, "When people are old, many wishes may not be fulfilled, but if she sees that person, maybe she will die faster, if she never sees him, although she lives a little hard, but there is still hope in her heart, and she can live longer......"
"I don't understand it anymore......"
"You'll understand later!"
"But I also kind of understand!" Zhang Rong thoughtfully, lowered his head and ate noodles, feeling a little stuffy inexplicably.
She looked up at the old lady, the old lady sitting behind the counter would return her with a kind smile in a simple and enthusiastic manner, while the guys in the hall who might have been ordered to protect the old lady had been making noise, and they didn't take the initiative to make trouble to Yang Ming and Zhang Rongruo like some wicked people.
Time passed quickly, a bowl of noodles bottomed out, Yang Ming got up and took out some money and handed it to the old lady, the old lady trembled and returned the excess money with her wrinkled hands, even if Yang Ming insisted on giving it, she didn't charge a penny.
Until Yang Ming was helpless, she still sent Yang Ming and Zhang Rongruo out with a smile, waving her hand vigorously, her eyes were full of enthusiasm, but also full of disappointment......
If Xisha Lengyue died, then his death didn't seem to have much negative impact on Dongying, because in the minds of the old lady and those little gangsters, Xisha Lengyue was the strongest in Dongying, and he would return to this place one day sooner or later.
Hope is the light that never goes out in everyone's heart.
Shortly after driving away, the shadowy figure appeared at the noodle shop, his knife stained with blood again!
Back in Kyoto, Yang Ming went to see Nalan Lingrong once, the two exchanged for a while, and then waved their hands, Yang Ming took Zhang Rongruo to embark on a trip back to China.
After Yang Ming left, what he didn't know was that Dongying's black and white road was full of bloody rain!
After years of Taoguang obscurity, Huaxia completely raised the head and launched a frontal confrontation, after getting Yang Ming's information, Huaxia cut off some channels for foreign funds to enter, and by the way locked the outflow of these funds, although the time was late, but during this time, the stock market has completely returned to normal.
And under the return to normalcy of the financial market, Xu Ziyan finally reported the Longtu organization, which has always existed! After getting the news, the first decision made above was to remove Xu Ziyan from her position and re-retire her.
Although Xu Ziyan was very disappointed with such a decision for a short period of time, in the next few months, some things happened one after another that completely subverted her opinion.
At the beginning of December, Longtu organized the executives of some foreign groups and consortia to investigate, restricting freedom.
In mid-December, some of the bigwigs behind Longtu who were involved in some of the consortium bigwigs who were investigated gradually surfaced......
In late December, the Longtu forces were dismantled, but before the Longtu organization was dismantled, some powerful people in the Longtu organization had fled abroad in advance, and under the surface of these people's absconding, some huge amounts of money also flowed out at the same time.
At the end of December, Yang Ming, who had finished his honeymoon, received a call from Bei Qingluo.
January, Yanjing.
The wind in Yanjing winter blows on people's faces like knives, Yang Ming saw the heroic Xu Donglin on the Great Wall, and no matter how strong Yang Ming's ability is in the past few years, in front of a big man like Xu Donglin who has huge resources, his momentum still can't compare with Xu Donglin.
One is a warrior and the other is a general, how to compare?
"Congratulations!" Xu Donglin said the first sentence to Yang Ming with a smile, then took out a wrapped red envelope and handed it to Yang Ming with a smile, "Although the portion is not much, it must be just a drop in the bucket for you, but this is a custom, don't dislike it!" â
"How dare you, thank you...... Uncle Xu! Yang Ming saw the corners of Xu Donglin's mouth change, and quickly changed his title.
"Haha...... Yes, this is the style of Group Z, you are good! Xu Donglin patted Yang Ming's shoulder and said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't know a lot about those things in the past, and I didn't ask about it originally, but after the collapse of the tumor power of Longtu, I noticed your credit, so I wanted to meet you, and by the way, I told you something more important." â
