In Maozhong City, in the "Drink" tavern, there are two people sitting in the small meal bag, it is Li Xiaohe and Chen Yujie.

The lights are swaying outside, and the wine is in full swing inside.

The street lamps on the street did not shake, and the lights were stationary, but in the eyes of Li and Chen, they were a little fluttering. Although the two of them are confidants, they are not "a thousand cups less", but "everyone is drunk if they are not drunk", the two of them drank stuffy wine, because they saw the haggard Sister You and were bored, because of what happened to the Kuai family, and because of the longing for the county magistrate.

When I finished eating at the county magistrate's house today, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon. made an appointment with Sister You to pay tribute to the county magistrate tomorrow morning, Li Xiaohe and Chen Yujie said goodbye to Sister You, left the "Gardener Jiayuan" community, and arrived at Chen Yujie's dormitory. At six o'clock in the afternoon, I came to this tavern.

There was still a small amount of liquid in the liquor bottle on the table, and there was still some liquor in the cup, and a total of seven taels of liquor were drunk. In terms of the amount of alcohol consumed by the two, it is no problem for each person to drink these alone, let alone divide them equally? But today, the wine is sad, and it is much faster, especially Chen Yujie also added two "more" words.

Li Xiaohe's cheeks were slightly red, and his tone was sincere: "Yujie, you transferred out of Siyuan County, obviously to escape from the land of right and wrong, but in fact, it was to take care of Sister You, which really made the old brother admire, and also made the old brother ashamed." ”

Chen Yujie's tongue curled slightly: "Director, don't say that, I ......"

"Yujie, how many times have I told you, it's called 'Brother Li'." Li Xiaohe interrupted the other party, "It's like that, it looks raw." ”

"Yes, Director, no, Brother Li." Chen Yujie bared his teeth and smiled, with a hint of gloom in his smile, "When I left Siyuan County, the main reason was to avoid that place of right and wrong, as long as I was there, as long as I saw everything there, it was difficult to calm down." Not only that, but I can't stand the spittle every day. In the past, I was not like this, I thought I was a little resistant to pressure, but in fact, I was not at all, but because of the leadership, I was confident.

Since I was transferred to the Municipal Forestry Bureau, I have been close to Sister You's house, so I have naturally come over more, but in fact, I haven't taken care of anything at all, but I have been improving my life every time. Host...... Brother Li, you can't help it at all, it's not that you can get there if you think of the city. Later, I heard that on the second day they replaced your director, and on the third day they forced you to report to the township. The reason why they didn't stop me at that time was because they didn't want to see me, a "stinky shit", and I could do it so happily if I left early and cleared my eyes early.

I know that you are thinking about Sister You's family in your heart, and you often call your eldest sister and send you tuition fees to Jiaojiao, and your eldest sister told me. If I want to say I am ashamed, it is me, I hurried back from the city, left after completing the formalities, and did not even meet you. You've always cared so much for me, but I've done ......"

Li Xiaohe interrupted the other party: "Yujie, can I not understand?" What was that situation at the time? When I received the call that day that you were leaving, I was both relieved and saddened. I know that not only those people in the county are hostile to you, but the relevant departments in the city are investigating you all day long, and you can be relieved as soon as you leave. I knew you were in a difficult situation, but I couldn't do anything about it, hey...... It's still me who really should apologize, on the day I said goodbye to the county magistrate, I saw that you never arrived, and I used to complain in my heart, only when I saw your sad appearance when I rushed away, I threw away what kind of thoughts. It wasn't until later that I found out that you were still under investigation, and that was an hour after you begged someone to approve you. Every time I think of this, I am very ashamed, guilty, and sad for you. ”

"At that time, I was constantly being investigated, and I heard those false accusations repeatedly, which was really difficult. But when I think of the leader who has left, and the demeanor of the leader when he left, my heart is filled with sentimentality, as well as deep guilt and self-blame. If I had heard the leader's movement earlier, I would have called the emergency number earlier, and the leader might have been saved. But why do you answer the phone? And it's also a scammer call. It was this unfortunate phone call that not only delayed the rescue time, but also became evidence of my suspicion, and until the investigation was temporarily closed, it was a matter that I could not explain clearly. Why am I ......" As he spoke, Chen Yujie was already choked up, but he was still chattering.

The other party said that the scammer called, Li Xiaohe is not the first time to hear about it. During the phone call between the two, the other party mentioned it many times, and each time the tone was sad. Today, maybe because of drinking, the other party actually cried, like a wronged child.

The liar is really hateful, in order to cheat money, he actually said that Chen Yujie's mother had a traffic accident, and asked Chen Yujie to meet at the nearest traffic light outside the building. But when Chen Yujie ran quickly, how could there be the so-called caller, and the phone couldn't get in at all. It was only after calling a neighbor to confirm that his mother was okay that Chen Yujie was relieved. At this time, he received a text message from a scammer, asking him to transfer 5,000 yuan to a card number. Although the money was not cheated, nearly half an hour passed after this back and forth.

Li Xiaohe can understand Chen Yujie's mood, the leader who has been following him, just talking and laughing, in the blink of an eye, yin and yang are separated, and the grief in his heart can be imagined. And during this period, I received a call from a scammer, saying that my mother had something, and anyone at this time would not consider the leave first, and would go as promised, not to mention that this agreement was very good to fulfill and there was no danger. But it was during this lunch break, that is, when Chen Yujie was out, that the leader had an accident. When Chen Yujie returned upstairs, he saw the unconscious county magistrate, the hotel staff who kept running and making calls, and the hotel staff was the room where they received the distress signal. Seeing this situation at that time, Chen Yujie must have regretted his intestines and regretted leaving the next room.

was already full of remorse, but the investigators in the city had to talk about it, and they didn't let him explain the details of the phone call, and he didn't let him provide his name and other identity information, how could he Chen Yujie say it clearly? Fortunately, this record was found on the call information, otherwise Chen Yujie would have been even more intelligible.

"County magistrate, I'm sorry for you......" Suddenly, Chen Yujie fell directly on the table and cried a lot louder.

Subconsciously glanced at the door, Li Xiaohe patted the other party's shoulder and comforted: "Yujie, don't blame yourself, no one can have foresight, it's no wonder you." ”

"Why can't I have foresight? Why didn't you know it was a scam call? If I had known, I wouldn't have gone downstairs to waste time. Chen Yujie also drilled the tip of the horns.

"Yujie, I know you are bitter in your heart, but there are many things that you can't assume, let alone do it all over again, let's face the reality." As he spoke, Li Xiaohe grabbed the other party's arm, "Let's go, I've drunk a lot, let's go back." ”

"Nope." Chen Yujie shook his arm and pointed to the wine bottle, "I haven't finished drinking it yet, there is still wine, it can't be wasted, and the leaders are the most opposed to waste." ”

"Good, don't waste it." Li Xiaohe sat down again, picked up the wine bottle, and poured liquor for himself.

"Director, Brother Li, you can't have it alone." Chen Yujie reached out and grabbed the wine bottle.

Seeing that Chen Yujie was drunk, Li Xiaohe did not reason with the other party, but put down the wine bottle in a compromise: "Okay, okay, drink the cup first, and then pour it later, okay?" ”

"Drink, Brother Li,." Chen Yujie said, picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck, and the liquor flowed down the corners of his mouth to his neck and into his clothes.

was going to wipe it for the other party, but if he thought about it, Li Xiaohe withdrew his outstretched right hand in time.

"Hehe, Brother Li, I did it." Chen Yujie let go of the wine glass he was talking about, and held it in his hand with his mouth down, "It's up to you." ”

"I'll do it too." Li Xiaohe drank the wine in the toast, also held the cup in his hand, and signaled.

With drunken eyes open, Chen Yujie tilted his head, looked at the cup in Li Xiaohe's hand vigorously, and frowned: "Wine, and wine, there are too many Fugen, you can raise fish." ”

Li Xiaohe smiled helplessly and shook the wine glass in his hand: "Yujie, it's gone, how can there be wine?" ”

"No, no, good, good, pour wine." Chen Yujie said, put down the wine glass, and reached for the wine bottle. I took it once, but I didn't get it.

For fear that the other party would pull down the wine bottle, Li Xiaohe took it directly and poured liquor into his cup.

"Brother Li, you have to divide the wine...... It's fair, or you're drunk...... Half in the bag. Chen Yujie stared at the wine bottle.

"Don't worry, I won't be greedy and possessive, let alone monopolistic." Despite saying this, Li Xiaohe still poured himself some more.

Looking at the liquor in the glass, Chen Yujie protested: "This is too little, less than a glass." ”

Li Xiaohe pointed to the wine glass: "This is a wine glass of three taels, and there are still two taels of wine in the bottle, how much can one person share?" ”

"Two taels, only two taels! The leader has drunk so much, why will he ...... Will it be like that? Why don't you ......" Chen Yujie was halfway through his words, and he couldn't go on with a whimper.

Yes, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but sigh secretly. He has been with the county magistrate for more than two years, and he has accompanied the county magistrate to appear in the wine field many times. The magistrate of Kuai County does not drink too much, nor does he stir up alcohol, and has always emphasized "doing what is possible and doing what he can", but it is also indispensable to socialize. A few times, Li Xiaohe saw that the county magistrate drank more than a catty, but he acted as usual, his words were not chaotic, but his cheeks were slightly red. According to Chen Yujie and others, the county magistrate only drank three small cups at noon that day, at best, it was only two taels, how could it be the cause of sudden death? It seems too far-fetched to conclude that he died of alcoholism based on these two taels alone.

"Ertael, how can someone die with just two taels?" Raising his head, Chen Yujie muttered and drank the wine in his glass.

Li Xiaohe noticed that when the other party was serving the cup, the fluttering water droplets dripped into the liquid of the cup.

"Tick", and the liquid in his wine glass also made a splash. Li Xiaohe held the cup in his hand, tilted his neck and drank the liquor in the cup. In the mouth, there is no trace of spiciness, but there is a thick bitterness.
