Chapter 423: Unwilling to Let Go
In the evening, Xiaojia really cooked a large table of dazzling meals, which were more sumptuous than the dinners in Greene Manor.
Anyway, the meat of chicken, duck and fish is all on the table, and Tugoulong even saw that one dish was actually roasted bear paws.
In addition, Xiao Jia opened the wine cabinet in the kitchen, there were dozens of kinds of wine in it, and Tugou Long was a little dizzy: "You are completely a food expert!" β
Xiaojia smiled: "I don't usually drink, make an exception to celebrate today, and drink with you!" β
Funny Bilong is obviously weak-hearted, he has never seen a lot of beautifully packaged wine, presumably the price is expensive, in order to avoid making a fool of himself, he took a bottle of liquor very decisively.
He couldn't tell what kind of red wine and foreign wine he had, but it was impossible for people of the Huaxia ethnic group not to recognize the liquor, because the trademark was printed with the words: Feitian Moutai!
The layout of the restaurant is romantic and warm, Xiaojia dining is very personable and cultivated, not like the windswept clouds like the dragon to eat and drink, change a personable gentleman to others will think that this matches the atmosphere and mood in the restaurant, but Xiaojia especially admires the autumn wind sweeping the leaves of the dragon.
It didn't take 20 minutes, and Li Dalong didn't take a few sips of wine, but the plates in front of him were stacked high.
Seeing Xiao Jia sipping red wine very elegantly, Li Dalong was a little embarrassed, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Xiao Jia, your cooking skills are even better than Ge Lin." β
Xiaojia smiled: "You know, my mother is a gourmet, I have a true biography, who is Ge Lin?" β
Li Dalong said silently: "A good old man, in order to protect me, he fought hand-to-hand with the mercenaries of the Tianlong Army. Unfortunately, in the end, he was unfortunately gone, but fortunately, I avenged him on the spot. β
Xiaojia was also silent, Dalong is still the same as many years ago, many places have not changed, but one thing has changed, that is, there is a heavy thing on his body, she can't tell what this kind of thing is, but she can feel it.
"Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy things today!" Li Dalong smiled reluctantly, "That's right." Xiaojia. What are you doing on this celestial star now? β
Xiao Jia showed a sly smile: "I won't tell you about my profession for the time being, you will know in the future, don't be surprised when the time comes." β
Li Dalong smiled dumbly, thinking to himself, what other profession could surprise me? You can't be a bounty hunter! Could it be that you are still the president of the Federation?
The dinner was enjoyable for both of them. After dinner, Li Dalong had to say goodbye. He also had to return to the public welfare center to verify the amount of labor he had done today. The key is that Xiaojia is a lonely man and a widow here, and it is not suitable for him to stay for a long time.
Xiaojia sent Li Dalong to the gate street all the time, and finally reluctantly saw him leave.
Even if Li Dalong's figure disappeared into the lights of thousands of homes. Xiaojia also refused to leave for a long time.
At this time, a car in the distance slowly approached and stopped at the gate of the neighbor's house next door, and after the door opened, a middle-aged man walked down.
Xiaojia seemed to think of something, and hurriedly greeted: "Uncle Wang! β
Fortunately, Li Dalong has already left, and he will probably be surprised to see this person, because Xiaojia's next-door neighbor turned out to be Wang Feng!
"Oh, it turned out to be Xiaojia!" Uncle liked this smart and cute girl very much, "Is there something wrong?" Come in and sit! β
The uncle's home is also a villa, but it is not a mansion, which the federal government has rewarded him for his great contribution to the police industry.
The uncle is a family of three, in addition to a virtuous and diligent wife, there is also a naughty and cute 10-year-old daughter.
Xiaojia is undoubtedly a frequent visitor to his house, very popular, as soon as she came in, the uncle's wife immediately greeted her politely, and the uncle's daughter also stuck to her.
"Xing'er, go to the yard with your mother to play, and my father wants to talk to Sister Xiaojia!" When the uncle came home, he was a different person, completely different from the shrewdness and calmness when he worked in the police station.
It wasn't until the mother and daughter went out that Xiaojia spoke: "Uncle Wang, I remember that you seem to be working in the serious crime handling of the Space Police Department, right?" β
The uncle nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" β
Xiaojia said: "Then do you know that there is a criminal named Li Dalong who is a volunteer?" β
"You know him?" The uncle looked surprised.
Xiaojia said: "I went out from my house just now!" β
The uncle immediately showed a vigilant look: "What is he doing at your house?" He didn't do anything to you, did he? β
Xiaojia smiled: "Uncle Wang, don't be nervous, he was my neighbor on the bright moon star when I was a child, he and his father have taken good care of our family since they were children, I am very good friends with him, and I only met today." β
The uncle looked at her in surprise, he really never dreamed that Xiaojia would have such a deep relationship with Li Dalong.
"This Li Dalong is actually ...... ...... actually it," the uncle smiled bitterly, "this world is really small." β
Seeing his expression, Xiao Jia suddenly had a count in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Wang, what crime did he commit?" Can you be released on bail? Can I appeal or apply for leave at the Public Welfare Center? I want to help him! β
The uncle looked at the concern on her face, and couldn't help but ask meaningfully, "Xiaojia, do you know him?" Do you know him and his father? β
Xiaojia said: "Of course I know him, I dare to say that no other person knows him better than me, and his father, it is really not easy for him to get to this day, he shouldn't have suffered so much......"
Seeing her serious expression, the uncle sighed secretly in his heart, you may really know Li Dalong, but you don't know about the nocturnal thief and the grassroots empire, the unsolved mystery on Li Dalong is far beyond our imagination.
Of course, these words Uncle can't sue sΓΉ to a citizen of the non-police system.
The uncle pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Xiaojia, you also know that your Uncle Wang is a person from the police circle, and it is easy to offend people when he speaks directly, but I still have to say that if I am you, it is best to stay away from Li Dalong." β
What kind of old-fashioned cop is he? You can see the problem at a glance!
He knew that the family of the next-door neighbor was not small, Xiaojia's mother was a famous gourmand in Tianxing, one of the best generations of chefs, who died of illness a few years ago, leaving a large inheritance to Xiaojia.
This smart and lovely girl has always lived in seclusion, not to mention the person to talk to, and even friends are rare.
The uncle admires Xiaojia's peaceful, optimistic, and outgoing personality, and takes good care of her.
There are not many people who know Xiao Jia, but they all know that Xiao Jia's neighbor is a very capable policeman in Tianxing, and anyone who wants to approach her has to weigh this relationship.
In the uncle's impression, the speaker's son can't get into Xiaojia's eyes, but Xiaojia is so interested in Li Dalong, they are all from the past, how can the young man's thoughts about his children escape his eyes?
He was kind, but Xiaojia didn't know the truth: "Why? β
"Xiaojia, maybe I know Li Dalong better than you!" The uncle lit a cigarette and couldn't help sighing: "If you want me to evaluate objectively, I can only say that he is by no means a bad person who does evil, but fate is a little unfair to him." β
Xiaojia's eyes widened and she listened patiently to his explanation.
The uncle said earnestly: "He shouldn't have been imprisoned, but for the sake of immigrating to Tianxing and for his own so-called justice, he is willing to help others take the blame; He would not have been arrested again, but he was willing to be arrested in order to bury an old man who had taken good care of him with his own hands; He could have been with his friends, but for the safety of his friends, he dared to deal with those alien mercenary forces alone......"
The uncle paused and continued: "Xiaojia, I sue you for your own good, now not only our police circles are staring at him, but the Federal Supreme Court also sees him to death, he is involved in too many people and things, the Black Spider Prison, the Grand Alliance Law Firm, the most dangerous criminal leader in the world, many mercenary units, alien forces, and even legends, and even evil forces that have not surfaced, today he can stand intact, tomorrow maybe you won't be able to see this person, You know what I mean? β
Xiaojia sighed slightly, how could she not understand?
The uncle just didn't say this sentence clearly: "Li Dalong and you are basically people in two different worlds, if you are with him, it is very likely that you will face all kinds of dangers in the future, and he can't give you any future." β
However, people's thinking and ideas are different, and the uncle feels the need to remind Xiaojia of these things, but Xiaojia doesn't think like the uncle.
In the middle of the night, Xiaojia didn't sleep, she sat quietly in her study, gently opened the drawer, and took out a tin cigarette case wrapped in letter paper.
This cigarette case is very old, and most places are covered with rust, but it carries Xiaojia's dusty memories for a long time.
It was something she picked up on the Bright Moon Star when she was a child, and it was a great toy for her at the time, but she was robbed by another group of older children on the way home, and she cried when she got home.
At this time, Li Dalong, who returned from going down the well and was covered in mud, became angry when he saw this, and immediately ran out without rushing the water.
What happened next made her unforgettable for the rest of her life, Li Dalong knocked down more than 10 older children by himself, snatched her toys back, and of course, Dalong himself was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his head was broken and bleeding.
Later, the old man knew about it, and Dalong was beaten by the old man again, if she and her mother hadn't dragged Dalong's father, it is estimated that Li Dalong wouldn't have wanted to get out of bed for a week......
When he left Bright Moon Star, many things were abandoned, but this box was the only one that Xiao Jia took to Tianxing and lay in a drawer and sealed it for a long time.
Tonight, it was turned on again, and Xiaojia under the lamp gently stroked the cigarette case, unwilling to let go for a long time...... (To be continued......)
