Chapter 7: Drinking

The sky darkened, the tide rose, the waves kept rolling, wave after wave hit Zhu Youji's feet, and the afterglow of the sunset pulled out a slender shadow, lonely and lonely.

"Hey, what time is it, you're not going to sit here until you die, are you?" Yi Qian shouted at a distance. He didn't want to come, because he was afraid that someone wouldn't be able to resist pushing this frustrated man into the sea.

Zhu Youzhu finally reacted, he stood up and patted his clothes, kicked a big rock with one foot, kicked a falling rock at his feet, looked at the sunset on the seashore and said softly: "Go, I'm leaving." Walking to Yi Qian's side, he said, "The master of the Treasure Pavilion, who has no worries and comes and goes freely, has cared about me all day, how can I repay you." He looked down at Li Zhuozhuo, who was wrapped in a ball, and thanked him.

"How to repay me, do you really want to repay me, just be polite and polite, and don't say anything......" Yi Qian muttered, pulling Li Zhuozhuo to turn his head and leave, "I want to take her back, you can take a taxi back by yourself." ”

"Yi Qian, you take Zhu Gongzi back, I'll take the bus back. Li Zhuozhuo protested in a low voice, and asked the prince to go back by himself, this crutche, can he recognize the way.

"He's a big man, and if he figured it out, nothing could happen. ”

Zhu Youzhu raised his heels, looking at the two people in front of him, one high and one low, muttering together, and felt extremely harmonious.

Yi Qian stepped on the locomotive and shouted at Zhu Youji: "Come over from time to time, my house is there, and I won't move away for a while." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, waved his hand to signal Yi Qian not to be verbose, Yi Qian stepped on the accelerator and disappeared on the avenue with Li Zhuozhuo. Zhu Youzhu watched them walk a long way before he raised his hand to stop a taxi, "Go to Jingyuan." "Come out for a day and a night, and if you don't go back, grandpa should be in a hurry.

"The handsome guy is so good-looking, what do you do?" The driver kept looking at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and sighed: "It won't be a big star, but we often have big stars in S City, let's just say that there are a lot of people like you in the Qidian Film and Television City, you are good-looking, and you are born with clothes racks, if you go to filming, it is definitely the favorite of those little girls now." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Youzhu responded lightly and kept looking out the window.

"I said handsome guy, you can try it, as long as you look good in that place, the speed of making money is absolutely fast, not like my hard driving, only a little money a day. ”

"Hmm. Zhu Youzhu replied again.

The driver was a little bored, and continued: "Don't believe it, I saw that the men in those costume dramas were not as good-looking as you, and in the end it was on fire, you can try it and don't suffer, there are also Ming Dynasty buildings and Qing Dynasty buildings, which are really ......"

"Where is that place you are talking about?" Zhu Youzhi finally reacted.

"Qidian, it's just east of our S City, but it's a little far away from Jingyuan, I'll tell you......" The driver enthusiastically promoted Qidian, Zhu Youzhu occasionally responded, and arrived at Jingyuan an hour later, "Handsome guy, if you want to go, you have to go early, because you have to become famous early." After the driver said the last sentence, he stepped on the accelerator and ran away. Zhu Youzhi took out his mobile phone and deposited the words "prayer shop", and said to himself: "The palace of the Ming Dynasty ...... , to take a look. ”

Old Man Ling was guarding the gate of the courtyard with his eyes in sight, and when he saw Zhu Youzhu coming back, he shook his head and went home, chanting as he walked: "...... Grandpa thought you were with the girl from yesterday, why didn't you bring it back for dinner?"

Zhu Youzhu followed and hugged Old Man Ling, frowning slightly: "Grandpa, I have nothing to do with that person." ”

"It's been almost a year, and it's so easy for you to have a friend...... , Grandpa thought you knew how to make friends, but unfortunately, Xiao Yang has cooked and waited for you to come back to eat. Old Man Ling muttered.

Zhu Youzhu nodded, and felt a little guilty: "Grandpa, next time you eat first, don't wait for me." ”

"That's not good, you're my grandson, I don't care about you, who cares about you. Old Man Ling pulled Zhu Youzhu to sit beside him, he originally wanted to break his thoughts, but he couldn't bear to see Zhu Youji's listless appearance, so he sandwiched a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhu Youji's bowl, "You, this is really worrying, and I can't forget to go to the hospital for a follow-up tomorrow, my body is not good yet." Grandpa looks at the corners of your mouth, is it broken, and the cheekbone on the left side of your face is still a little blue, is grandpa dazzled?"

Zhu Youzhu smiled: "It may be dark, you can't see clearly." ”

"Also, it's not easy to look at people when they're old, don't forget to go to the hospital tomorrow for a review, grandpa wants to go with you. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded and said, "I know, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow." Grandpa, do you know what kind of place the prayer shop is?"

"Pray shop?" Old Man Ling only felt that this place was familiar, shook his head and said, "Grandpa can't remember a little, ask Xiao Yang tomorrow." Come, eat quickly, it's going to be cold. ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at the bowl with another piece of braised pork, and took the chopsticks into his mouth. For Zhu Youji, who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, Sister Yang's craftsmanship is really ordinary, but every time he eats with his grandfather, he always eats a lot, and the old man can eat a few more bites when he eats fragrantly. This is a lonely old man, and in the more than half a year that Zhu Youzhu has been here, no one has come to see Old Man Ling. Old Man Ling is not short of money, he lives well, and he pays attention to his use, and the room is full of old antiques. But I was always alone, walking birds in the morning, coming back to listen to Peking Opera in the afternoon, and occasionally calling a few old men to go out on the street. Zhu Youzhu wanted to move out many times, but he didn't say it once, the old man needed him, and the two of them were quite dependent on each other.

After finishing the meal, he accompanied the old man to listen to Peking Opera for half an hour as usual, and watched the people on the stage babbling in wide clothes and playing a long note, Zhu Youzhu always felt very cordial and happy to watch it together.

"Ah Ji, what do you think of that girl yesterday, how did you meet?" Old Man Ling was very concerned about the private life of this cheap grandson, and many times he forgot that this grandson he picked up was once an emperor, and he never asked about him before. The old man suddenly became interested in a girl, which made Zhu Youzhu a little surprised.

"Grandpa, I'm the one who has a wife. Zhu Youzhu replied, and then saw Old Man Ling's regretful expression, "It's a pity, I look at that girl very well, Ah Zhu, you are all in the past after all, people have to look forward, grandpa thinks you can't always immerse yourself in the past, although it is a bit too much to say this, but people, this life is like this......"

"Grandpa, I know. Zhu Youzhu said lightly.

Old Man Ling knew that Zhu Youzhu was very indifferent many times, and his personality was a little withdrawn, so he sighed and didn't say much. Take your time, he will always get married and have children again.

The TV babbled and sang for more than half an hour, and the old man Ling listened to it and fell asleep, usually he was still very energetic at this time, and the old man was probably worried about him, and he didn't sleep last night or at noon today. Zhu Youzhu went to the room to find a blanket to cover his grandfather, and sat on the sofa on the side in a daze. It's not like staying at the beach during the day, and her mind is blank, but now her mind is full of Zhenzhen, whether she is crying, whether she is desperate, whether Zhao'er treats her well, his Zhenzhen, sobbing in his ear over and over again. Zhu Youzhu put his hand in his hair and rubbed it irritably, for fear of making too much noise to disturb the old man, so he took a careful look at his grandfather, picked up his coat and went out gently.

The hustle and bustle of the city does not end with the arrival of night, this is the beginning of nightlife, Zhu Youzhu has sighed more than once that modern people are strong, such high-intensity work during the day, and so pleasant and full of spirit at night. took a taxi and went to Yi Qian's soul ferry, and Zhu Youzhi brought two dozen beers. The small bell in front of the door rang, the light in the room was on, Zhu Youzhu hooked the door with his foot and opened it, and there was no half of the person in the room. Putting things on the table very well, Zhu Youzhu threw himself into the sofa, picked up a bottle of wine and opened it with his teeth, poured it down, the wine at the corner of his mouth flowed down his slender neck into his chest, the cool feeling stimulated his facial features, he looked at the empty wine bottle in a bit of confusion and shook it aside, opened another bottle and drank it. Zhu Youzhu rarely drinks alcohol, especially this kind of bottled beer, his body is not well, and his grandfather does not allow him to drink. But this is a good thing, the more you drink, the more confident you feel.

"Zhenzhen, don't worry about me, I'm fine. Zhu Youzhu muttered, raised the empty wine bottle and looked at it carefully, and then saw himself, with short hair, a pair of misty eyes, looking terrible, "I really want to die like this......" Zhu Youzhu said softly, slapped his face with his right hand, a little self-deprecating, and a little confused, picked up another bottle of wine and continued to drink. Today I saw the sea, the waves were turbulent, the waves were monstrous, he jumped down and there was only a dead end, he thought he could go back, but in an instant it turned into a ball of foam, and cruelly disappeared on the sea level. If he hadn't seen Li Zhuozhuo, he probably wouldn't have had that thought, but when he saw Li Zhuozhuo, he had such thoughts and hopes, but he was desperate, and the most terrible thing was that he gave hope and slapped it again.

He's an incompetent person, what a useless person. Zhu Youzhu drank a lot, this kind of beer couldn't pour him, the more he drank, the clearer his mind became, he didn't know what he wanted to do.

"Alas-Zhu Gongzi, why are you here?" Li Zhuozhuo, who was wearing pajamas, rubbed her eyes and walked out, the lights in the store were on, she thought that Yi Qian was still working, and she couldn't help but be startled when she saw Zhu Youzhu sitting on the sofa.

Zhu Youzhu pointed to the opposite position and motioned for Li Zhuozhuo to sit down, Li Zhuozhuo wrapped his clothes tightly and sat down with some uneasiness, looked left and right and asked tentatively: "Are you here by yourself, it's so late...... Drink less of this stuff and it will be uncomfortable. ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at Li Zhuozhuo fixedly, and asked, "Miss Li, how long have you been here?"

Zhu Youji's eyes were cold and desolate, and Li Zhuozhuo, who was originally reluctant to mention the past, still spoke, "I came here last summer, and it's been a year and a half. The clock was ticking, the room was scary, and Li Zhuozhuo sat restlessly, wanting to wake up Yi Qian.

Zhu Youzhu hummed lightly, picked up another bottle of wine and handed it to Li Zhuozhuo, "Do you want to have some?"

Li Zhuozhuo trembled and took it and hugged it in his arms, and then looked at Zhu Youzhu and drank it with his neck up, a bottle of wine bottomed out in a blink of an eye, Li Zhuozhuo worried: "Don't be like this, your heart is uncomfortable, drinking will be even more uncomfortable." ”
