Volume 1 The Torturer Chapter 35 Memories - A Trip to the South
A year ago, when Lan Lan proposed to go to the south to track down Xiaotong's news, Xiao Li did not agree to it.
Who would have thought that this girl would not even say hello, and set off directly with Sang Man. Although Xiaoli couldn't be angry, after all, there were few sources in the south, so maybe Lan Lan could really find useful information when she went?
The Lan Lan family is very powerful, especially in the south. It's just that she can't be happy every time she mentions family affairs......
Shanghai
Tianzifang
This lane is a famous "cultural street" in Shanghai, the shikumen does not know whether it is new or old, a pair of couplets are engraved on the left and right sides, "Tianzifang" has become a horizontal batch, I am afraid that tourists do not know, next to the horizontal batch, the new stone is engraved on the "Tianzifang" to strengthen the impression before resting.
Entering the alley, the ground floor is full of shops, and the signboard shows that the "forced style" of your home is high enough. Tea houses here are not as pleasing as coffee shops, and as far as the eye can see, every coffee shop is full of people, whether white-collar workers, couples, or tourists.
"Beans don't fall ......"
“…… Sen word without words"
"Word bean stopper!"
"Mudheart!"
From time to time, you can hear similar words from the windows or from the mouths of old residents who go downstairs to throw out the garbage, and tourists passing by think they are welcoming them and greet them warmly.
"Lan Lan!"
A figure in the alley pointed ahead and chased after him and shouted.
Not far away, a woman wandering alone, with her hands crossed behind her back, walked with a pair of boots gently "da-da-da-" and her head was like a rattle. The gray color of the building made the original white skin crystal clear, which caused several couples to quarrel because the man looked at it a few more times.
"Beauty - Leave a ......"
There was a single young man who was just about to go up to talk, who wanted to run over a young man not far away, "Lan Lan, Lan Lan" in his mouth, and was about to help the woman stop, looking up at the person who was sturdy, but the appearance was extremely handsome, the light blue eyes were deep, like a calm lake, and the woman's appearance was very commensurate, so that others could not help but be overshadowed, and the heart that was supposed to be blocked suddenly retreated, and it was very consciously let go.
"Lan Lan." The young man complained, "Why did you disappear in a blink of an eye, but let me find it." ”
Who would have thought that the woman was still looking around and said: "Sang Man, my father and I used to live here, I liked it here when I was a child, there was food and play, you look at it now, what a mess." The woman's words were full of complaints.
"Is the store you mentioned still there?" The man asked.
"I'm looking for it too!" The woman poked her head into each store, then shook her head and said, "I can't remember the exact location, but it should be nearby." ”
This pair of handsome young men and women are Lan and Sang Man, it is said that Lan Lan Lan lived in Shanghai for a period of time because of her father's business relationship when she was a child, and her residence was not far from this "Tianzifang", and her father always went to a "toy store" to talk about business, and every time he would bring her gifts, so Lan had a very good impression of here.
"There it is!" Lan Lan's eyes lit up, pointing to a red brick building, and she said, "I remember those two lanterns!" ”
Sang Man looked, only to see a building not far away on the left and right sides of the door hole on the left and right sides of the red lantern supported by the long bamboo poles, the lantern at a glance to know the appearance of the years, whether there is wax in it is unknown.
"I remember going in from here......" Lan Lan muttered into the building with her index finger on her lips.
"Hey! Lan Lan! Sang Man hurriedly went up to stop - after all, the two of them were thin-skinned, so they recklessly went in to make noise and cause trouble among the residents in the building, how could they hold their faces?
"This should be it!" Lan Lan said as she came to the door of a room with the words "Do not enter" written on the wall with chalk.
"Don't ——!"
Lan Lan raised her hand and pushed the door in, and Sang Man was half a beat slower when he wanted to stop him.
"Squeak-squeak-squeak-"
The dilapidated wooden door was unlocked, and it looked like it was about to collapse if you weren't careful.
It was dark, the only small window was hidden by a mess of newspapers, and a large standing cabinet occupied nearly half of the room, except for a candle burning in the opposite corner, which was a little brighter than it danced.
"Lan Lan, no one, let's go?" Sang Man whispered.
"It's been a long time since I had a guest...... How do you say just go? ”
Sang Man was startled, only to hear a very harsh hoarse voice coming from behind the cabinet, and hurriedly pulled Lan Lan towards the house.
"Bang ——!"
But before he could take a few steps, the tattered wooden door slammed shut on its own. Sang Man hurriedly ran forward, but found that the door could not be opened.
"Oops," the hoarse voice added, "young man, that's how anxious ......"
The man seemed to be in the haystack and moved out with his feet.
A white-haired man with very messy hair.
It is said that he is a man, because although this person is full of white hair, there is no wrinkles on his face, and he is even a little delicate. The eyes that radiated light in the darkness casually looked at the people who came in the room, and "hehe" laughed twice and asked:
"What do you buy?" As he spoke, he took out a bamboo pole from the side and stepped on his feet to pick open the sliding door at the top of the cabinet. "Can you come to me...... Hehe......"
"Poof-" As the door was pushed open, a cloud of dust fell and fell on the man's head. The man didn't care, and muttered, "I can't buy anything outside here...... Hehe...... Hehe......"
"Uncle Xu!" Lan Lan leaned over and shouted.
The man was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and slowly turned to look at the strange girl. After a while, he seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly changed, and he said with joy: "Girl! Then he looked up and down and praised: "Well-yes, yes-family genes are good, big girl!" ”
Then he looked at the door and frowned slightly, and asked, "What about your father?" ”
"I'm here on my own!" Lan Lan said.
"Oh?" Uncle Xu was very surprised, so he looked at Sang Man and asked coldly, "Who are you kid?" ”
"I ...... I'm Sangman. Sang Man usually has great respect for his elders, although he doesn't know the identity of this man, but looking at Lan Lanlan's words, he thinks that they are not small, so he added: "Take care of Miss Wei." ”
"Oh-" Uncle Xu nodded, "Generational Guard-Descendants of the Sang Family." ”
"Uncle Xu!" Lan Lan dragged the other party and shook it, "Can you tell others that I'm here!" ”
"Huh?" Uncle Xu was a little embarrassed: "Uncle never lies-"
Lan Lanlan's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "If others don't ask, you won't say it, how about it?" ”
"The girl is still as smart as when she was a child." Uncle Xu waved his hand and laughed. "Okay, okay, if others don't ask, I won't say it, Uncle promised you."
"Uncle Xu is so good!"
Lan Lan helped Uncle Xu sit by the lamp and asked, "Uncle, do you know what happened in Beijing a few years ago?" ”
"Girl! Don't go around in circles with your uncle. Uncle Xu stepped on the edge of the chair with one foot, raised his hand and scratched his dusty hair and said, "Ask directly if you have anything." ”
Seeing that the routine was exposed, Lan Lan immediately told the whole story of the matter. Uncle Xu is obviously a person who has seen the world, and he is surprisingly calm when he hears it, and he has been staring at the jumping lamp and candle without knowing what he is thinking.
"Okay-" Uncle Xu sighed, "You want to know some news?" ”
Lan Lan nodded vigorously in response, only to hear Uncle Xu continue: "In this area of Shanghai, Uncle really knows a few places where you can ask for something useful. ”
Uncle Xu took a pen and paper, wrote on it and handed it to Lan Lan, and then said in a deep voice: "Nuwa Niangniang does have a generational kindness to your family. It's just-" Then he looked at Lan Lan very seriously and said, "Uncle advises you, it's best for young people not to interfere in this matter......"
