"My family?"

Tie Ming nodded, pointed to the road sign ahead and said:

"Do you know where we are, Rat?"

"Ermalu, I'm very familiar with this!"

"It's the best - you'll live on this road from now on, No. 20 Erma Road."

"Oh-"

The rat's eyes widened, and his voice dragged on. Tie Ming teased him again, "Be careful that your jaw drops." "Rat came back to his senses, it's incredible, I have my own car, my own house, this suit, this watch, haha, I'm a high-class person!

The rat jumped up happily and accidentally touched his head. Tie Ming laughed at him, "It's an exaggeration!" The rat covered his head and smiled silly, and suddenly a trace of desolation swept through his heart, like a breeze blowing on the water surface like a mirror, blowing a pool of spring water, stirring up the past hidden in his heart.

I can't remember when I lost my home, it seemed like a spring, it seemed like an autumn, the change of fate came suddenly, or a child I was forced to leave home, plunged into this yellow sand and yellow water, and wandered again and again.

Sometimes the dilapidated thatched hut is home, sometimes the school corridor is the home during the holidays, sometimes the street is home in the middle of the night, sometimes the desolate grassland is the home, everywhere is home, and everywhere is not home.

"I'm a homeless orphan."

Such a thought has been buried in the heart of a rat for a long, long time, like an old garment, taken out from time to time to dry in the sun, and from a distance, it is still like new. It is only when you get closer that you will find that it is very old, things have passed for a long time, and it is just churning over and over again in the bottom of your heart, renovating again and again, and it still occupies the place of your heart.

For A Rat, home is getting farther and farther away in reality, but psychologically it is getting closer and closer, he tries to create a home for himself, but he is blown away by the ruthless wind again and again, and he can't always build a home.

Caught in this strange big city, the sky is full of neon flashes at night, the beauty of Shanghai, the noisy human voices are mixed with the whirring wind, and the beautiful music, the sound is in the ears, but the heart is so empty, and the stubborn stone that does not move in the wind, can not hold anything, the pain of wandering is like poison deep into the blood, condensed into a sharp needle, about to push out from under your skin, make you feel painful.

"Shhhh

A rat looked at the familiar street scene outside the car window, as if he saw himself wandering when he was a child, so he kept wandering, no matter how far he walked, no matter how tired he was, he couldn't walk to his home. Winter is coming, the cold wind bullies the weak, and the lonely and helpless only hold themselves.

"Well, what are you thinking about all these things?"

Rat turned his gaze and shook his head helplessly. Tie Ming saw that he didn't speak for a long time, just lowered his head and didn't speak, so he asked him:

"Rat, what are you thinking?"

"No, I suddenly have a home, I'm happy."

"Huh."

Tie Ming held the handlebar and smiled, Ah Rat's words touched his heart, he also had the experience of wandering, lost his relatives at a young age, from being a young man under the fence, to a young man who came out to wander, all the way from south to north, and from north to south, his footsteps did not stop, and he wandered endlessly. Feel the taste for yourself.

Fate can always bring similar people together, and it is precisely because of similar experiences that people will have a feeling of familiarity at first sight, this feeling comes from the experience behind the two people, this experience will be revealed through the eyes, and they will understand it at a touch, and then get along and cherish each other.

Even if it goes without telling the story of the rat, Tie Ming can perceive it. In this cold concrete forest, there is a pair of hands stretched out from a distance to shake you, what a great touch, how much power.

This icy concrete forest has since had a temperature, and the long journey is no longer alone. Rat was grateful from the bottom of his heart to Tie Ming for pulling him, giving him a home, having his own nest in this big and empty Shanghai, and ending his wandering.

The car slowly drove past a shop, a private house, this is one of the most prosperous and lively places in Shanghai, rich people get together, houses to be bought with baskets and banknotes, and now they want to live here, they didn't even dare to dream of it before, Mom, developed.

Soon A rat's sad mood was washed away by the excitement, a luxurious building passed in front of his eyes, as if within reach, this one is too high, that one is too small, and this one is a strange shape, A rat seems to be a seller to comment on the houses on this road one by one, none of them are pleasing to the eye.

The car drove and stopped, and stopped in front of a Western-style three-story villa, Tie Ming turned around and greeted Ah Rat:

"Here we are."

"So fast?"

"Get out of the car and take a look."

Rat got out of the car and looked up to be shocked by the magnificent Western-style villa in front of him, which was beautiful, and the building was shining in the sun. Although it is only three floors, it is not very high, but it is better than the trendy design.

The whole house is brick red, with ivory white tiles neatly inlaid on the four edges, and the window lattices are framed with gold window frames, which makes it look rich. Dalin likes symmetry in everything, especially when he helps his subordinates rent a house, it must be stable and symmetrical, and this house is too. The lower floor is blocked by a door, so you can't see it. There is a balcony protruding in the middle of the second floor, and there is a large glass window on the left and right sides, and there is no balcony on the third floor, there is only a small window sill, and the top of the window is buckled with a semicircle, which looks foreign and quiet.

The wall encloses a large area, the front yard and the backyard, and the front of the house are also symmetrical two trees, one is ginkgo and the other is also ginkgo. Ginkgo biloba leaves are small and cute, dense and not sluggish, quite endearing. It's the golden autumn season, and half of the ginkgo leaves are yellow, and half are still green, which is also interesting.

The wall was as high as a man and a half, and there were three-headed swords stuck in top of it, and if anyone tried to climb in this night, their butts would be punctured. Rat was a little uncomfortable to watch. Look at these two tall iron gates again. The door is painted with strange patterns, in the eyes of foreigners, this is called beauty, and the rat thinks it is better to stick two door gods, just like when he was a child.

Tie Ming took out the key, handed it to Ah Rat, and asked him to open the door. Ah Rat solemnly took the key, felt the weight of a thousand pounds, carefully opened the door, pressed against the crack of the door, and looked at the round snow lamp as round as a ball on the top of it, as high as the sun, and secretly scolded why the door of a rich family should be made so high? The iron door is still so heavy and so difficult to open. On second thought, isn't this my home? Funny yourself, how did you make yourself as sneaky as a thief before, and I wasn't laughed at by Brother Ming.

When the two entered the courtyard, several maids came out of the house and shouted:

"Master, Mr. Song."

"Who are you?"

Rat thought it was strange, isn't this house new, why is there someone living in it? Tie Ming told him:

"They are the servants that Mr. Lin hired for you, and there is a cook and a housekeeper."

This treatment, Ah Rat opened his mouth wide again, he really couldn't think of it, Da Lin thought of it, it was really thoughtful.

"I really want to thank Mr. Lin, I'm just working for him, why do you give me so much!"

Tie Ming smiled, and pulled the rat into the house to take a look, and said as he walked:

"Let's take a look, the new house, the wind will blow for a few days, the maid will live for a few days, and it will be good to disperse the air, the master is here, please please God for the two days, and the wife will be peaceful in the future."

Rat nodded step by step, listening carefully. As soon as they had stepped into the house and stepped on a small square carpet, the maid asked them to stop, and she half-crouched down, shook out the white towel from the large pocket of her apron, and respectfully polished their shoes. I patted my socks twice. The rat is not used to it, and he wears old shoes, so don't let the servants see the jokes.

"Ah Zhi, you are the master, and you must get used to the servants serving you in the future."

Rat nodded in response, in the past, he was not even a servant, he was just a little gangster, a cheap life, a cheap bone, white-eyed, bullied, and now the fish jumped into the dragon gate, next to the big tree, it was unbelievable. The servants called themselves "masters", knelt down to serve themselves, and treated them respectfully, and the rat finally experienced the joy of being a human being, and the pride of being a superior person and a rich man.

After shining her shoes, the maid stepped aside and got out of the way. Tie Ming asked Ah Rat to go in and take a look, the furnishings were discussed with Mr. Lin by himself, and asked him if he liked it or not, and if he thought it was bad, he could also let someone change it. Rat turned around and looked at the furniture all over the house, the chandelier, the wallpaper, the fireplace, the sofa, the table and chairs, the antique shelves, everything was good, great.

"Brother Ming, where would I pick these things, and bother you and Mr. Lin to help me with some points, I still want to thank you, where do I feel bad?"

"yes, okay."

The two of them turned and watched, walked around, and walked to the sofa in the living room, Tie Ming chose the side chair, raised his legs and sat down, elegantly cocked Erlang's legs, folded his hands on his knees, and beckoned Ah Rat to sit on the head. Rat didn't know these etiquettes, so Brother Ming beckoned him and sat down. The servant made two cups of hot tea and retreated to the depths of the courtyard.

Tie Ming held up the tea tray, pinched the tea lid, gently swiped the tea, let it dissipate heat, and asked seemingly casually:

"Rat, I have something to ask you."

Ah Rat also drank tea in the same way as Tie Ming, and casually agreed. Tie Ming took a sip of tea, put it down, lit a cigarette, and asked Rat if he smoked, and Rat shook his head. Tie Ming smoked by himself, spit out a puff of smoke rings, looked at the rat and asked:

"Qinxin's matter is not for no reason, the reason is that you failed to assassinate Dalin, and Ah Gou is looking for Qinxin's hatred."

Ah Rat almost spit out the tea in his mouth, coughing twice as if he was disguised, not daring to look Tie Ming's eyes. Yes, he was caught by him in the racecourse that time, Brother Ming is so smart, he must have seen that something was wrong, and Brother Dog went out to call for money and didn't know what to say. What shall I say now?

Tie Ming held the cigarette between his thumb and middle finger, his index finger cocked, like holding an egg, relaxed and solemn, pursed his mouth slightly, stared directly at the rat, and observed his reaction. A rat's eyes were fluttering, hiding left and right, and his heart was empty.

"Admit it honestly, don't carry it yourself."
