An hour later, Yu Siqi had recovered from his unkempt and sloppy image with the help of the shopkeeper.

Wearing a little loose clean clothes, Yu Siqi felt as if he had been reborn.

In fact, it was not only him, but the shopkeeper on the side also said with a slight surprise: "Although I have long guessed that you will not be too old, but how can a good young man with sound limbs like you fall into such a field?" ”

"It's a long story, isn't it time for us to go?" Yu Siqi didn't intend to explain too much to such a 'stranger' who was not close to him, and the truth was indeed as he said, 'a long story'.

The other side also seemed to realize that he should not be able to ask the answer, so he turned around and picked up the two bags and said, "In that case, let's go." I'll carry your things for you first, and when you get there... Listen to me, and we'll leave it to our fate. ”

"Okay," Yu Siqi nodded, followed him to the back garage and said, "What about the business in your store?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that, I've already closed early." Zhao Yong stuffed his bag into a van that looked very old, came to the door and said, "Come on, pay attention to the bottles and cans inside, don't let it trip over." ”

Sitting in this van, Yu Siqi's first feeling was that this thing might be even more dilapidated than the priest's previous classic car that was about to be scrapped, and the internal environment was terrible.

Whether it was the pile of cans and beer bottles under the seats, or the smell of alcohol coming from the entire carriage, Yu Siqi was particularly uncomfortable.

When Zhao Yong sat in the driver's seat, Yu Siqi asked tentatively: "Have you drunk a lot of wine here recently!" ”

"Do you think those things are in the way? You can throw it out of the window, I don't mind. Zhao Yong fumbled for something in the drawer and said nonchalantly.

Since the other party has said so, if you are polite, it will be a little hypocritical. Bent down quickly and grabbed the bottles and cans that he could reach, Yu Siqi felt that doing so could greatly ease the space under his feet.

In this way, after a burst of 'jingle bells', Yu Siqi felt that the passenger seat he was sitting in was much more spacious than before. Although Zhao Yong looked up at him a few times because of the sound when he was doing these 'cleanups', he finally lowered his head silently and continued to look for things.

After Yu Siqi completely cleaned up the 'debris' on the soles of his feet, he realized that they were still grinding in the car that had not started, and he asked a little unhappily: "Why do you keep driving, what are you looking for?" ”

"Car keys and door keys." Zhao Yong continued to touch the corners without looking up, and said with words in his mouth: "I obviously remember that I put it in this piece." ”

"Need my help?" Yu Siqi asked.

"Please."

Zhao Yong's free and easy attitude did not impress Yu Siqi, on the contrary, it was because he was so free and easy that Yu Siqi had a faint uneasiness. However, just a little suspicion could not completely let Yu Siqi leave alone, so he also joined the queue to find the key.

Because the space under his feet had been emptied when he cleaned up the garbage in front of him, Yu Siqi naturally looked at other places.

Sure enough, a black leather bag in the back seat caught his eye. When he turned over and picked it up, he found that the man didn't have the keys they needed in his wallet, but he accidentally found a group photo inside.

The man in the photo is young and spirited. The woman next to her was very beautiful, but she was not tall and slightly chubby. Standing in the middle of them was a little boy with a slightly dark skin and a big smile.

"I'm still wondering where my wallet went, thank you!" Zhao Yong snatched the wallet from Siqi's hand, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, started the car and said: "The key is found, quickly fasten your seat belt, the first corner from here is the electronic police, I don't want to be stopped by the traffic police on the road." ”

Yu Siqi was slightly surprised to see the other party so reckless, silently fastened his seat belt, and leaned back in the chair.

The garage door is slowly raised in response to electronic buttons. The light that was not too bright basically told Yu Siqi that it was not too early now.

And just like that, they were silent for a long time. Zhao Yong, who was driving a little bored, glanced at Yu Siqi and said, "I'm really embarrassed just now, I should be more polite." ”

"It's okay," Yu Siqi said, staring at the street scene outside the window, "Anyway, that's what yours is." ”

"If you don't mind, we're going to start on the highway now." Zhao Yong looked at the dashcam and said, "Based on my previous drives, we should be able to get there before nine o'clock." Ask again, are you ready, if you regret it now, we can go back. ”

"You and I know what we're supposed to do." Yu Siqi said indifferently, after all, for him, he has experienced a lot of worse things.

"I like your attitude," Zhao Yong said approvingly: "By the way, what did you do before, how did you suddenly fall into such a virtuous style?" ”

"It's hard to put into words, I used to work in the HR department." Yu Siqi said with a little embarrassment: "But that was a long time ago. ”

The second half of his sentence could not be regarded as the truth, after all, he had only known the priest for a few months. But these short months have allowed him to experience a new experience that he had never experienced in the first half of his life, and it has also broadened his horizons a lot.

Although, in a way, themselves

"Personnel Department?" Zhao Yong also opened the chatterbox, and his tone became much more casual.

"You know, since I retired from the army, I've been running this small shop with my wife. In the past, we called this "wholesale of tobacco, alcohol, and non-staple food", but then it gradually began to turn into convenience stores and supermarkets. Zhao Yong introduced his past with a grin.

It didn't mean that Siqi was thinking about how to answer, Zhao Yong continued: "That time was really the happiest time of my life... If only happiness could last forever..."

"I'm sorry," Mr. Yu said, choosing a more appropriate word.

"It has nothing to do with you, and you didn't cause her death. Congenital heart disease is my problem. I shouldn't have given her any birthday surprises, obviously the doctor told her that she couldn't stand the fright, but I..." Zhao Yong's mood began to fall, and he said to himself: "How I wish she could laugh again." ”

"Festival mourning and change," Yu Siqi could feel the sadness and self-blame emanating from Zhao Yong's body, and he couldn't find a more suitable word for a while.

"Look at me, I shouldn't have saddled you with this." Zhao Yong took a deep breath and said, "Let you see the smile." ”

"It's okay, it might feel better to say it." Yu Siqi knows very well how tormented some things are in his heart, and he himself has this experience.

It was probably Yu Siqi's casual comfort that made Zhao Yong completely let go of the bottom line, he stared at the road in the distance, and said in a flat tone: "Tangjiawan is a very special place, it is surrounded by mountains on both sides and water on both sides. The next thing we have to go is the side of Shuangliu Mountain, which is controlled by a sentry post, and according to the data I surveyed before, there are usually three to five soldiers stationed in it, which is relatively large. ”

"Can't you go by water?" Yu Siqi asked.

"We don't have boats, and I've surveyed the waterways. The cordon is very long, the field of vision is very broad, and the consequence of rushing the ship is to be intercepted by the other party. Zhao Yong said very professionally: "You must know that I used to be the best scout in our company, and I know very well what the 'optimal solution' is." ”

"When I didn't say it," Yu Siqi felt that it was very irrational to use his barren ideas to participate in such a professional discussion, and he decisively 'shrugged'.

"Speaking of which, time flies so fast, it's almost seven o'clock." Zhao Yong turned sideways and took out two bags of individual rations from his bag and threw them to Yu Siqi and said, "Help me tear it open, we should have dinner in advance." ”

"It's not something I bought, is it?" Taking this big green and hard bag, Yu Siqi looked at it carefully and asked.

"Of course not, you can't afford this kind of thing with your little money. I'll treat you to this stuff for free, but don't expect too much about the texture, maybe it's better to compress the biscuits. Zhao Yong threw over two more bottles of natural mineral water, and Yu Siqi saw at a glance that this was definitely not the kind of bargain he bought, but he didn't plan to continue asking questions, after all, he was the owner of the shop!
