Chapter 58
When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Lu Chen hadn't gone home yet, probably because he was left to work overtime. Qian Duoduo was a little worried. Ever since he knew some of Mayor Wu's secrets, he had been worried about Lu Chen, who was working under the other party, and had thought about asking Lu Chen to quit his job, but he was afraid that the two of them would suspect that something was wrong.
Secretary Liu, who had nothing to do, looked at Qian Duoduo's worried look and smiled, lit a cigarette, and sat in the recliner, "Qian Duoduo, how much do you know about Mayor Wu?" ”
"Not much, I just know that he seems to be working for some kind of organization, and he doesn't care about the lives of the people in the town."
"This is his character, as long as it is troublesome or interferes with him, he will find a way to deal with it directly, and there is no human heart at all."
"But that's not how he does it in front of the people of the town...."
"Hehe, who doesn't know how to act." Secretary Liu changed the topic with a playful smile, "Actually, there is a group in this town, do you know?" ”
"And another?" The other party's words successfully attracted Qian Duoduo's attention, and he turned his head to look at the other party suspiciously, "What group?" ”
"It should be the group that resisted Mayor Wu and them." Secretary Liu said uncertainly, "I don't know the specifics, this should be a self-organized organization." ”
"Is it from the town?"
"No... Up in the air.... I think it's from the town, but I don't know much about it..."
"Have you seen the people in there?"
Somehow, Qian Duoduo remembered the long-missing Brother Cen he saw in the factory at that time, the Brother Cen who told him to leave here.
"I've only seen one, and I saw it by accident, but I was too hasty at the time to see each other's appearance."
"Can you tell me what the man looks like then?!"
Puzzled by the other party's sudden excitement, Secretary Liu recalled, "I remember that the person was about one meter and eight checks, with long hair and a brown coat, as if he looked a few years older than you." ”
Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up, and he himself was aware of his fierce heartbeat, "That person may be Brother Cen!" ”
"Brother Cen?" Hearing this name, Secretary Liu looked unfamiliar, "Who is that?" ”
"Don't you know?" Qian Duoduo stared at the other party's eyes, "It was only ten years ago, when you..."
"I wasn't here at that time..."Secretary Liu interrupted the other party, "Don't you remember?" That's when I showed up in town. ”
"Really?" Qian Duoduo tried to think about it, but found that his memory at that time was vague, as if nothing was clear. "I ......."
"Do you remember what happened ten years ago?"
"Ten years ago... I.... It's as if ....." that memory seems to have been cut and then shredded, chaotic, as if I remember everything, but I can't remember anything specific.
There was a sound of the courtyard door opening outside, Qian Duoduo got up from the bed and looked through the window into the courtyard, it was Lu Chen who came back.
"Why did you come back today and how late did you come?" Qian Duoduo poured a cup of hot water and waited for Lu Chen to enter the house and handed it to the other party.
"There's a lot of work given by Mayor Wu today." Lu Chen collapsed on the chair and said to Qian Duoduo, "I want to eat something good today." ”
"Hmm." promised Qian Duoduo to go out of the house and into the kitchen.
"Is there anything strange about Mayor Wu today?" Secretary Liu turned his head to look at Lu Chen.
"He didn't have much in the morning, but he went out in the afternoon."
"Hmm." Secretary Liu fell into deep thought again.
The dinner in the evening was indeed quite rich, Qian Duoduo made several plates of Lu Chen's favorite dishes, Secretary Liu looked at the table of vegetarian dishes with a depressed face, "This is the delicious thing you said!" ”
"That's right." Lu Chen picked up a piece of sweet and sour eggplant and put it in his mouth and chewed it with relish, "Do you know that it is healthy to be a vegetarian?" ”
"I only know that eating meat grows strength." Secretary Liu looked at a table of food with a flat expression.
In the fog forest behind the broken wall of the factory, the depth of the fog is not like the lush woods in other places, but a building more than half a person high with only one entrance, which is just a protrusion made of bricks, surrounded by a fence composed of wire and wooden stakes, and there is a sign outside that reads "Be careful of collapsing, do not enter".
Several figures appeared in the thick fog, and they walked cautiously to the fence, carefully opening a gap for people to pass through, and then several people entered the building one after another.
As soon as you enter, you will go down the stairs, and the beams of several flashlights will clear the downward road, and the brick stairs under your feet are some seriously damaged, and in some places, you can even feel the bricks under your feet shaking when you step on them.
"Be careful." Someone whispered, and the flashlight swayed and shone on the top of the building.
After walking for a long time to see the flat ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the ground, and the sound of stepping on the wooden plank and breaking was immediately heard under their feet.
Several people followed the passage all the way, wandering in the passage below the ground.
"Are you sure you know how?" Someone in the crowd opened their mouths.
"Almost, I saw the layout plan in Mayor Wu's office at the time."
"Won't they really find out we're coming here?" Someone else asked uncertainly.
"Rest assured, this place has been abandoned by them."
The men kept chatting about incomprehensible topics, and after walking through a hallway, they entered a large area that resembled a hall, and in some cases, two or more openings appeared.
"By the way, Xiao Cen, have you really seen your neighbor's child?"
"Hmm." The man in the crowd, who had been silent, spoke, and his voice sounded obvious to the fact that his master was still a young man.
"You're really bold enough, and you're not afraid of being exposed." Someone in the crowd spoke in a serious tone, and people could tell that he was a little angry.
"It's okay, I'm in my own way." The teenager known as Xiao Cen responded calmly.
"How are they doing now?" Someone sighed, "I haven't seen my family for more than ten years." ”
"They've all grown up." The boy's tone became gentle, and he remembered the little boy who always hid behind him when he was a child, and he didn't expect to grow into such a big boy in a blink of an eye.
He sighed and looked at his outstretched hand, "We were frozen in time by time. ”
"Maybe that's not bad." Someone laughed at himself and comforted, "Otherwise, I'd be a bad old man that no one wants." ”
There were a few laughs from the crowd, and several people walking out of the hallway were blocked by a half-collapsed wall.
"This is it, right?" Someone asked.
"Well, this should be it." The man who said at the beginning that he knew the way replied.
"That's... Have you decided? The man asked a new question, and his tone was solemn.
"It was decided a long time ago, and we had no way back from ten years ago."
"It's just that instead of hiding in Tibet every day, it's better to fight, maybe there will be a turnaround."
"There has been no turnaround for a long time...... the young man known as Xiao Cen said silently in his heart, and stepped forward to take the folding shovel handed by his friend and joined the labor of demolishing the wall.
