Chapter 38: The Past

The moment the ten fingers interlocked, it seemed that something had been turned on, and Lin You's heart was "plopped!" Thump! "Jumping so fast that it looks like it's going to jump out of your chest!

This, this, this... What does it feel like? She clutched her chest, puzzled.

Isn't it just a hand? She and Xie Zijin have had more intimate actions than this for so many years, how could they suddenly feel this way?

Thinking about it, she felt a hot breath creeping up her cheeks from her neck, burning her whole brain.

Lin You lowered his head, buried his face in the dark green scarf, and only showed a pair of eyes looking at Xie Zijin's back, his mind was blank, and he only knew to step on his footprints and move forward.

The boy carries a guitar on his back, pulls his beloved girl, and behind him are friends who fight side by side. Xie Zijin really wants to have superpowers, and he can leave this moment forever.

But what they didn't know was that there was someone in the crowd who blocked the unknown variables for them. It was this man who changed their lives.

Uncle Wen was dressed in a black leather coat, with half a burning cigarette on his fingers, he looked at the few hairy boys in front of him, spit out a puff of white mist and said, "Let's go, take me to meet your boss, what kind of tricks are you doing to a group of children!" ”

A boy standing at the front ripped off his cap and had his trademark yellow hair, "Old man Wen, I advise you not to meddle in your business!" ”

"It's me or you who are meddling, why should your boss and my grievances be imposed on a few children?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and someone whispered, "Brother Hao, what, what should I do?" ”

The yellow-haired man called Brother Hao glared at him, and then kicked him hard.

"What to do?! Take it back! ”

Uncle Wen smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders and turned sideways to make a way, "Lead the way." ”

It turned out that these thugs were the subordinates of another bar owner, and Uncle Wen had been running a bar here for several years, and business had been good.

There are enemies among peers, and the bar business is too good to naturally arouse the jealousy of others, so I found some social bastards to come to the bar twice a day to make trouble.

At first, Uncle Wen didn't care about it, but then he couldn't bear it anymore and taught him a lesson, and he was born a lot. Xie Zijin: They made this group of people lose face last time, and they openly and secretly made it difficult for a few children.

Yesterday, when Xie Zijin and Lin You left, the guys from the bar came back and said that they were followed by tails.

Uncle Wen thought of Xie Zijin being shortlisted today, and he was afraid that they would go wrong, so he waited here early, but he didn't expect to really run into these bastards.

As the saying goes, if you hit a snake and hit seven inches, you should catch the thief and catch the king first. You have to make it clear to their boss!

That bar is not far from Uncle Wen's bar, and it was only opened two years ago. The name is "sorrow".

"Alas, what a sorrow." Uncle Wen looked up at the signboard and didn't know what to say for a while.

It was close to noon, and there was no one in the bar. There were no lights on in the huge hall, and the light inside was dim and it was not clear to see.

"Smack!" After a crisp sound, all the lights turned on instantly, and Uncle Wen saw clearly that the decoration style here was quite similar to that in his store. It's not that everything is exactly the same, it's a feeling. It feels very familiar.

"How? Isn't it nostalgic? A man gradually came out of the darkness, much younger than Uncle Wen, but the lines in the corners of his eyes had betrayed the fact that others had reached middle age.

"Nostalgia?" Uncle Wen saw the man's face clearly, and said coldly: "Lao Cai, after so many years, you are still like this, are you just a group of children?" ”

Lao Cai waved his hand and motioned for everyone else to go out, sat down and took out a cigarette from his pocket, and took out a box of matches to light the fire.

The matchbox is made of brown paper, and there is no pattern on it, only the word "Cai" written with a hairpin in small Kai with a brush.

"A bunch of kids, huh!" He sneered, looking at Uncle Wen's eyes suddenly became cold, "After so many years, only these children can force you to come to me." Wen Yuzhi, you said that you would never sing again, and you promised her that she would never sing again!! ”

As he spoke, he stood up excitedly, the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground, and he slapped the table and roared: "You promised her!!" ”

Facing Lao Cai, who suddenly went crazy, Uncle Wen stood there motionless, he heard his own voice, choked and clear: "I haven't forgotten." ”

"Then why are you still helping them!? No, you're not helping them, you're harming them. You want that boy to be like me, and let them go through what a few of us have been through! ”

"I just think they were like us back then, and if someone had been willing to help us back then, we wouldn't have gotten to where we are now! Lao Cai, it's been ten years, can't you let it go? Uncle Wen picked up the matchbox that had fallen on the ground and pushed it back in front of him.

At this time, there are very few people who still use this kind of matchbox, and Uncle Wen also has one, and the word "Wen" is written on it in the same small letters.

The reason why Uncle Wen helped Xie Zijin and their children everywhere was entirely because when he saw them, he seemed to be able to see himself many years ago through those stubborn and clear eyes.

If they hadn't had that accident, or if they had trusted each other a little more, maybe things would have been different.

When Uncle Wen was young, he was almost exactly the same as Xie Zijin now, he didn't know what he wanted, he knew what he wanted, a guitar, a few good friends, and a girl like Lin You who would follow him and always support him.

It's a pity that later, the world is impermanent, and everything is gone.

Uncle Wen never sang again, opened a bar to do tai chi, and the days passed without a shock.

The fact that the surface is not shocked does not mean that he has really forgotten, and Uncle Wen will never forget the last goodbye to that girl on that rainy night. She was like a piece of paper, wet with rain and almost transparent.

"Yu Zhi...... Promise me I won't sing..."

Under the lightning and thunder, he was like a child who had done something wrong, hugging the girl who would never come back.

There are people who are so cruel that they leave this world in the most painstaking and memorable way, leaving behind the living, who are not good at living but do not dare to die.

"My sister said that she hates you singing, you love her but love your dreams even more, you are a selfish villain! Now he pretends to be compassionate to help those children! That Xie Zijin is exactly the same as when you were young, and the little girl next to him is as stupid as my sister back then. ”

Lao Cai grabbed his hair in pain and glared at Uncle Wen fiercely. There was despair and anger in his bloodshot eyes, "If you don't want the old things to happen again, don't stop me again!" ”

Seeing that the persuasion was useless, Uncle Wen didn't say anything about the past anymore, and only coldly left a sentence: "With me, even if I risk my life, I have to protect them!" He was silent for a moment, then added, "And you." Stop it, you will harm others and yourself, and your subordinates are still a bunch of children after all. ”

After Uncle Wen left, Lao Cai nested in the sofa for a long, long time, but the bright lights could not shine into his life that had been dark for many years. He smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: "They are all people like me who have no way back, stop?" Oh, Wen Yuzhi, absolutely impossible! There is always a price to pay for mistakes. ”

They didn't expect that this situation would be achieved many years later, because several children had come to this point.

At this time, Xie Zijin was at the scene of the play-in competition. Lin You huddled around him and looked at the crowd, "Tsk, there are so many people." Are you panicking? ”

"Panic? Why panic? Xie Zijin asked rhetorically, his eyebrows were full of confidence, Lin You thought he was 100% sure, but the next sentence made her want to bite.

Xie Zijin patted her head and said, "Just like every time you take a math exam, don't you enter the exam room very calmly and confidently knowing that you don't do well in the test?" ”

Uh, this Xie Zijin is really going to ridicule himself when he has the opportunity, if it weren't for the fact that he has practiced the unique skill of "Golden Bell Hood Iron Cloth Shirt and Gun" under the blows of so many years, it is estimated that he would have bitten his tongue and committed suicide in shame at this time!

"By the way, you haven't told me what you're going to sing? What bad idea is God secretly playing? ”

Lin You was very curious about everything Xie Zijin was hiding from her, her eyes were shining, and her little face was slightly blushing.

Xie Zijin frowned and touched her forehead, "What's wrong with you, why is your face so red?" ”

"Is there one?!" Lin You immediately pulled up his scarf to cover his face, "Maybe it's too cold, frozen red." ”

Kong Yu's voice floated from behind him, "I've only heard that my face will turn red after strenuous exercise in summer, or else..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin You jumped up as if he had been stepped on by someone's tail, "Shut up, shut up!" Aren't you usually quite cold? It's good to keep it up, the cold male god is loved, and the male god who doesn't like to talk is also loved! ”

Many people around her looked at her with neurotic eyes, and Lin You turned around and said, "What do you see, haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman?" ”

Xie Zijin chuckled, it is estimated that only Lin You dared to say this kind of thing so unashamedly. He pinched Lin You's hot and crimson face and said, "You, stay by my side honestly, don't mess around when I play." You know? ”

Lin You rubbed his face and muttered: "You will lead a white dragon horse to you, you will be Tang Seng, babbling all day long, what will you do when you get old in the future?" ”

"You're still so stupid when you're old, I'm sure I'm still really nagging."

Xie Zijin's seemingly unintentional rebuttal made Lin You's heartbeat a little faster.

It's so strange, Lin You feels that his heart has recently reached the rebellious period, and it beats so hard at every turn. If this continues, what can I do if I have a heart attack?

She secretly glanced up at Xie Zijin, his side face looked particularly good in the sun, like... Like a rhubarb's dog head, people can't help but want to touch it when they see it.

Thinking of this, Lin You snickered in his heart. If Xie Zijin knew what he was thinking now, he would probably be so angry that he gritted his teeth.
