Chapter 3: The Human Heart
Narrow alleys, dilapidated buildings, and even low, tiled-roofed bungalows.
The ground is full of large pits and small holes, and if you are not careful, you will step on the sewage of suspicious color under your feet.
This is Wuyi Lane, where Zhang Long's home is.
Mankind has set foot in space and rushed to an extraordinary era, but there are always some things that belong to the past, and they are still stubbornly stuck in the past.
This old alley, that's it.
It is said that in ancient times, a military camp was set up here as a garrison for the forbidden army.
Because the forbidden army was wearing black military uniforms at that time, it was commonly known as Wuyi Lane.
Later, there was a big family, living in Wuyi Lane, and people called their children "Wuyi Lang", which was noisy for a while.
In the end, Wuyi Lane was reduced to ruins, but the name was retained.
Wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley.
In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.
However, the world has changed, and now in Wuyi Lane, there are only mosquitoes and flies flying around.
Fortunately, the previous wind and rain diluted some of the usual pungent smells.
Otherwise, with Zhang Long's sensitive sense of smell now, I am afraid that he will suffer old sins along the way.
Zhang Long's home is at the end of the alley, a two-story building with the outer wall peeling off, revealing the red brick inside, and a small courtyard of two or three square meters in front.
Seeing the light on the second floor from a distance, Zhang Long's heart warmed, it was his parents' room.
My father was on duty at the company, and my mother must have been waiting for him when she saw that he hadn't come back yet.
Sure enough, when Zhang Long opened the iron gate, as soon as he walked into the courtyard, the gate on the first floor had already opened.
This is the old mother heard the sound of him coming home, and hurriedly rushed down from the upper floor to open the door for him.
"Why is it so late!"
My mother let Zhang Long into the house, "It's so wet, go and wipe it with a towel first, change into dry clothes, don't catch a cold." ”
"Today I have your favorite [tomato brisket], I'll go and warm it up for you. ”
Zhang Long's nose was sour, his eyes were a little red, and his mother's first sentence was the second time he heard it today.
He didn't think it before, but now he can really feel that the same sentence, spoken in different mouths, is completely different emotions and meanings.
"Mom'......"
Mom turned around, I don't know what Zhang Long told herself to do?
“...... Hurry up, I'm hungry!" Seeing a strand of white hair next to his mother's sideburns, Zhang Long hesitated for a moment, and shouted with a smile.
The tomato brisket tastes great, especially the hot soup that is mixed with rice and stuffs it into your mouth.
That's beautiful......
When Zhang Long returned to his room, his brow furrowed.
By tomorrow morning, when it's time for the lab to work, what he's doing will be discovered.
Even if he handed over Su Zhilei, thinking that with Lin Feng's power and the preparations they had made a long time ago, he could still get out of the matter and cut it off perfectly.
And he, Zhang Long, no matter what he does, is a yellow mud that falls into the crotch of his pants.
The consequences can be imagined, the work must be over, the lawsuit will not be able to escape, it is inevitable to go in and be locked up for a few years, and the family will definitely go bankrupt.
The most important thing is that his father's job will definitely be lost, and at his father's age, it will be difficult to find a new job.
This is also the sadness of this era, since the beginning of human beings out of the earth, the average life expectancy is getting longer and longer, but the requirements for workers are getting younger and younger.
And people who are over a certain age can easily be dismissed for various reasons, and many parents have a hard time.
Many people work hard and complain, like a dirt dog, but they are afraid of losing their jobs, which will affect family income and affect the growth of children.
But often because of hard work, many people will fall into a desperate predicament when they get seriously ill.
For an ordinary family like Zhang Long, it is simply lucky that his father can have a job as a gatekeeper at his age.
This is also the main reason why Zhang Long was able to insist on completing his studies with excellence as an ordinary child.
If nothing else, there is no money, and even to buy study materials, it is one step worse.
Zhang Long can have today, because his parents saved money and gritted their teeth and worked hard to confess.
Therefore he will not allow it, and all this will be ruined in his own hands!
Rubbing his temples with his fingers, Zhang Long pondered hard.
What can I do?
Suddenly, Zhang Long's eyes lit up.
The laboratory results that I took out by myself are actually just a semi-finished product.
If it was a complete final result, it would have been removed from the laboratory a long time ago, and it would not have been possible to put it there and wait for Zhang Long to take it.
As the right-hand man of the person in charge of the laboratory, Zhang Long participated in everything throughout the process, and even in most cases, it was Zhang Long who actually operated it.
In fact, it is very simple, the person in charge of the laboratory is his mentor, and this is the reason why he can enter the laboratory to work.
"Can I make another one?"
The more Zhang Long thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible, it took a long time to study something, but when the conditions were met, it did not necessarily take long to make a preliminary semi-finished product.
And Zhang Long himself participated in the whole process and made a pass.
However, Zhang Long alone will definitely not work.
He needs an assistant!
It is impossible to do it in the [518 laboratory], that would be equivalent to self-exposure, and Zhang Long can't bring outsiders in, otherwise, he only needs to bring Su Zhilei into the laboratory for a visit.
Why take out the laboratory items, only to be deceived and get into the current situation.
In Zhang Long's heart, he quickly identified the helper and the place to do things.
Because if you are eligible, you really don't have much choice.
"As long as I put the newly made things in the original location of the laboratory before the shift tomorrow morning, I will be saved!"
Time was pressing, without further ado, Zhang Long quietly came to the balcony, turned over, and jumped down from the second floor.
Like a leaf falling lightly, Zhang Long quickly disappeared into the night.
....................................
Zhao Hongyi, Zhang Long's best friend, the two are not only close classmates from primary school to college for many years.
And before Zhao Hongyi was fifteen years old, he also lived in Wuyi Lane, and the two were really small and close friends.
The conditions of Zhao Hongyi's family are much better than Zhang Long's family, for example, where Zhang Long is now located, it is a famous high-end community in Jiangnan City.
And this three-bedroom large-area commercial house belongs entirely to Zhao Hongyi.
He had long since been separated from his parents and had his own residence alone.
After listening to Zhang Long's intention, Zhao Hongyi didn't have any excuse and immediately got up.
"Oh, what are you doing all this way when something so big happens? Just make a phone call! It's a waste of time. ”
Zhao Hongyi looked angry, and looked like Zhang Long didn't treat him as a friend.
"Let's go now, the lab I work in, I can call the shots, hurry up and get things made. Zhao Hongyi complained while taking the lead in walking out, it seemed that he was really anxious about Zhang Long.
Zhang Long only felt warm all over his body.
That's what friends are!!
In critical moments, having friends is reliable.
What Zhang Long didn't know was that when he walked into the elevator, Zhao Hongyi looked at Zhang Long's back when he turned around, his eyes flickered behind his glasses, his face was not good, and he seemed to have made a very important decision.
