Chapter 120: Zhou Ling
"But speaking of which, there are still quite a few people who have come to him these days." He muttered to himself again.
Yu Chen and An Xia glanced at each other, and An Xia said, "You mean that someone else has come to look for him besides us?" β
"Yes, I'm about forty years old, I'm wearing a Swen shirt and glasses, but I said I was looking for him and I didn't even meet him and left."
"How do you know they haven't met?" Ansha frowned.
The old man coughed": The little girl didn't listen to me carefully, Zhou Laosan was so drunk every day that he couldn't even recognize people, even if he found him, what could he do? He's either sleeping or drinking, and he knows something from his mouth. β
An Xia wanted to continue asking, but Yu Chen held her hand and moved slightly, saying, "You seem to know him very well." β
"I don't know a little about him, everyone in the neighborhood knows a little bit, he moved here a few decades ago, I have forgotten when he was specific, but it wasn't like this when he first came, and later, I don't know what blow he suffered, he began to become like this, drinking all day long, there is nothing else to do except drinking, alas."
When he said this, he sighed again, although he was used to seeing people living like this here, but he still felt a little pity when he thought of Zhou Laosan in the past, that is, because of this pity, he would help him lock the door when Zhou Laosan went to buy wine, although there was nothing to steal inside.
"You just said them, does he have any other relatives?" Yu Chen said after listening.
The old man looked at Yu Chen in slight surprise: "I really didn't expect it, you will remember it as soon as I say it so casually." β
The average person simply doesn't notice such minor problems.
Yu Chen smiled and said nothing, waiting for him to answer.
In fact, even without the word "them", he felt that Zhou Laosan in the old man's mouth would not be alone.
A person who has no body and can mix to such a point is obviously nothing that can be handled.
Again, he said that he either sleeps or drinks every day, so where does his money come from?
After all, there is still someone in the family.
"Zhou Laosan also has a son, named Zhou Ling, he is a filial piety, although Zhou Laosan can't help him, his son is not a little impatient, and he does odd jobs every day, just to buy wine for his father and maintain his own life."
"Where is Zhou Ling now?"
When the old man heard this, he became a little vigilant: "I don't have any doubt that you want to find Zhou Laosan, but what's the use of you looking for a child?" β
Yu Chen showed a warm and harmless smile: "You misunderstood, we have no other intentions for Zhou Ling, we just want to know something." β
After all, the teacher may not be able to see Zhou Laosan like them, but there is a great chance that he will be able to meet Zhou Ling, and he can't let go of the slightest opportunity.
"Grandpa." Before they could finish speaking, the boy appeared behind them.
An Xia looked up, the boy looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, not tall, those eyes were extraordinarily bright, not only that, he also looked very thin, a little thinner than the children An Xia had seen before.
The boy was very tanned, but he could faintly see that the contours of his face were not bad, and if Bai came back, he should be a delicate child.
He was carrying a school bag, washed white, his fingers tightly pinched the strap of the backpack, looking a little nervous, but those eyes were smart and did not reveal his true emotions, just looked at them with a pair of vigilant eyes, only his small movements revealed his true thoughts.
"Who are you?" As soon as he spoke, his voice was more hoarse than the previous sentence, as if he was in the period of voice change in his youth, not sharp at all, but sounding very good.
"They, they're from outside, they said they were looking for your father, I happened to see it, so I chatted a few words, but you, came back from school so early today?" The old man is still very gentle to Zhou Ling, just like an ordinary grandfather cares for his grandson.
Zhou Ling didn't have a special expression on his face in the face of the old man's concern, but just hummed lightly.
"Follow me." The young man turned his head to look at Yu Chen.
"Where are you going?" Anxia still didn't react.
"Aren't you going to find my dad? I'll take you there now. He looked impatient.
An Xia thought that the young man in front of him would not compromise easily at first glance, but he didn't expect to get such a promise so easily.
"But first, I'll take you to call my dad, but you have to give me money." The boy smiled a little maliciously.
In the face of such Zhou Ling, An Xia relieved his heart, after all, an unfamiliar teenager promised to take them to see his father with one mouth, no matter how he thought about it, it was unreliable.
"Okay." Yu Chen raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation.
Zhou Ling turned around and led them in the other direction, when he turned his back to them, he hooked his lips and smiled mockingly, he really likes this kind of person who is stupid and has a lot of money, if he comes a few more a day, he won't have to worry about tuition and living expenses.
"Where are we going now?" Looking at Zhou Ling's back, let him take himself to a remote alley, the alleys here are all the same dirty, the only difference is that the degree of foul smell is different, but this alone can't make An Xia distinguish the road here.
She doesn't have a good sense of direction.
It's not the kind of person who gets lost even if she draws a map, but it's easy for her to get lost when she's in a similar space, even if the buildings are about the same.
"It's coming, it's coming." Zhou Ling walked ahead and said a few perfunctory words.
"Are you waiting for someone?" Yu Chen said suddenly.
Zhou Ling turned his head and stared at Yu Chen with a pair of eyes, vicious, making people tremble.
However, Yu Chen is not an ordinary person, but he is calm in the face of his gaze, and even ignites a faint interest.
"Did you misunderstand something, didn't you say that I should lead the way, didn't you want to give money, so you deliberately made things difficult for me?" When he said this, his eyes kept staring at Yu Chen, just like a wolf dog staring at the fat meat in front of him ferociously, and now Yu Chen was a piece of meat in his eyes.
"The old man just said that you are very filial, how could such a filial person take the initiative to take us to see his father? And since just now, you have taken us farther away, intentionally or unintentionally, when you came in from the outside, you passed by a place that sold alcohol, and with the environment and financial resources here, I am afraid that there is only one place that sells alcohol. β
Yu Chen already knew what the young man was thinking from just now, and he was extremely calm when he said it.
Zhou Ling licked his lower lip, his eyes were red, and his hideous expression was a little excited: "Since you have guessed it, then you are still so stupid to follow me." β
"It's just that I didn't expect that you are indeed very smart, but unfortunately, you are smart, and I won't let you go out in my territory, although my father is not a person, he has nothing else to do except drink all day long, but he is also my father, and he can't let others bully him."
"It's you, looking like a human dog, maybe you have a bad stomach." He snorted coldly, and could see that he had a great prejudice against them from just now.
"You're mistaken, we don't mean anything else, we just want to see your father because we know something from him." An Xia looked at Zhou Ling's face, and still said calmly, after all, she still didn't like to do it if she couldn't do it.
"Less nonsense." After Zhou Ling finished speaking, he whistled, and then they were surrounded in a circle in all directions, but these people were only half-grown teenagers, and the sticks in their hands looked at them vigilantly one by one, as if they were some kind of flood beast.
An Xia was a little speechless, the person who was surrounded was obviously her, why now it seems that they are the ones who bullied this group of children.
"I don't like to do it." Yu Chen said expressionlessly, he had lost the gentleness he had just now, "I don't want to do anything to you children." β
"So it's a quick fix." He stood here with almost extraordinary self-control, and he wouldn't want to set foot in it for even a second if he could.
And the tricks made by the child in front of him have completely made him lose his patience
"What do you want?" There are many people who can see through his little tricks at a glance, but there are very few people like Yu Chen who react at the first time, so Zhou Ling doesn't say it, but he is actually very jealous in his heart.
He didn't say a word, he took out a weapon from his arms, the swarthy barrel reflected the light, and the hole made people feel like hair, Yu Chen's movements were slow, but because of the weapon in his hand, everyone else stood up hair, and their faces changed.
Zhou Ling was facing him, he was a half-grown teenager, he was still a little scared, he just liked to be strong, even if he was very panicked, he still didn't show it.
"Who are you fooling, this can't be a toy, deliberately taken out to scare people." After he finished speaking, he felt that this was indeed the case, and now the state control is very strict, and it is really almost only available to people in the army who deserve to have it, and he has a little confidence when he thinks of this.
"Don't thinkβ"
"Bang"
There was a sound, and it was Yuchen who fired a shot at the sky.
Zhou Ling's eyes shrank, looking at the white smoke coming from the muzzle of the gun, his legs were so weak that he could barely move, his brain was blank at that moment, and that strong desire to survive made him react and his first reaction was to run.
"If you run now, I can still hit you." Yu Chen said lightly.
An Xia gave him a blank look, just a child, isn't it too much to scare him like this?
Yu Chen's face was expressionless, he just wanted to solve it quickly now, and he didn't want to delay for another minute.
Zhou Ling's action of turning around and wanting to run was frozen in place.
"Now you turn around." When Yu Chen said a word, he did what Yu Chen said.
Stiff like a robot.
