I thought that the so-called wandering should be wandering penniless, eating the last meal without the next meal, and having to go through all kinds of hardships every day for food and clothing. But looking at the way we look now, not to mention getting a car before we even went out, the money from my bank card alone was enough for the two of us to squander for a while.

Talking about this, I have to praise Wu Lin's gang, we sell openly, they buy openly, at least at the level of business, we do not deceive each other, we do not deceive customers, that is duty, they do not deceive us, that is character.

Let's talk about Li Huaishan's views on the word wandering, he believes that as long as he is out of the house and helpless, he is wandering.

I really couldn't understand his way of thinking, and I didn't bother to argue with him over such trivial matters.

Before leaving Bohai Bay, Li Huaishan claimed that he had found a route to Shanghai, and said that as long as he followed the route he planned, he could reach Shanghai in the shortest possible time.

I did follow the route he had planned, but we walked for three whole days after the original journey of more than nine hours.

I followed his instructions, first arrived in Qingdao, then turned from Qingdao to Linyi, and then arrived in Lianyungang through Linyi, and when the car drove into Lianyungang City, I was still thinking that I was finally back on the right road, but I didn't expect Li Huaishan to let me drive the car to Hangzhou again, and finally turned around from Hangzhou and went straight to Shanghai.

This way, every time he goes to a place, Li Huaishan has to get off the bus and go out for a walk, when we live in Hangzhou, this kid even went out to soak all night.

I really convinced him, saying that he would definitely not become a burden to me in the future, who would have thought that he would start dragging me back as soon as he left Bohai Bay.

But although I always knew that the path he gave was wrong, I never said it, and it was easy to come out once, and he was willing to play and let him get it.

By the way, I slept in the car for a few nights, and I couldn't help it, because I couldn't take them with me to the hotel. During this period, the hammer was like a demon, lying on the window and looking out, it was afraid of water like other cats, and whenever the car passed by the big river, the cat hair on its body would suddenly get up.

Whenever I see the hammer change in the rearview mirror, for some reason, there is always an inexplicable excitement in my heart.

When we arrived in Shanghai, the sky was already orange, and at that time, the mobile phone had not yet navigated, and as soon as the highway started, Li Huaishan bought a map of Shanghai from the store, and used a highlighter to mark the destination of our trip on the map, as well as a route that seemed relatively close.

The note said that the bar in Gaidong was in the area of Nanjing West Road, not far from a place called Zhang Yuan, but it was only specific to "Zhang Yuan", as for what kind of place this so-called Zhang Yuan was, and where the bar was in this "garden", it was not reflected in the note.

On the way, Li Huaishan kept urging me to call Gai Dong, but I just didn't want to call, and there was no special reason for this, just because I was not familiar with the place, and it would take most of my energy to just know the way, and I really didn't have the strength to do anything else.

I asked Li Huaishan to contact Gai Dong, but Li Huaishan rejected my proposal on the grounds that "he didn't want to talk to strangers during this time", and the devil knows what he was thinking in his heart.

After entering the boundary of Nanjing West Road, I really had no choice, so I dialed Gaidong's phone.

The other side answered quickly, and as soon as the phone rang, a very smooth male voice came from my ear: "Open at eight o'clock, if you need a private room, please book three months in advance." ”

It sounded like a phone call, but I said, "I'm from the family?" ”

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before speaking again: "Bohai family? ”

"Yes, my name is Yu Ruofei, and the head of the Sky Cloud Dao asked me to come to you."

The person on the other side immediately laughed: "It's really time for you to say this, if it's two days late, I'll go far away." Where are you now? ”

At that time, the hands-free was on, and Li Huaishan could also hear our conversation, and immediately unfolded the map and pointed to our location on it.

I glanced at the map and said, "I'm almost at the south end of Jiangning Road now." ”

The person on the other side of the phone looked a little surprised: "You're already in Shanghai?" ”

I should say "yes", and the other side immediately said: "Do you know Zhang Yuan?" ”

I said, "I only know the location of Zhang Yuan, but I don't know where your store is." ”

Opposite: "When you get to Zhang Yuan, find a place to park your car first, and I'll pick you up at the garden gate when you turn around, you know where the garden gate is, right?" ”

I said, "I can find it." Is there a parking lot in that place? ”

The other side smiled and said, "You don't need to find a parking lot, my place is an alley, you just park your car on the side of the road." ”

I then asked, "How can I identify you?" ”

The other side said, "I can recognize you, the store is about to open, I'll hang it first." ”

After saying this, he quickly hung up the phone.

Li Huaishan also hung up my mobile phone, and said to me thoughtfully: "Judging from the tone, Gai Dong should be very easy to deal with." By the way, let's stop the car later, what about the big and small black and the hammer? ”

I looked in the rearview mirror, the hammer was still lying on the window and looking out, and the big and small black were sleeping together, these two little guys didn't know if it was motion sickness or what's wrong, from the beginning of getting in the car, most of the time every day was spent sleeping, and only when it came to dinner would it be more than ten minutes to wake up.

With both of their constitutions, they can't eat, and I don't know why they always wake up in time for dinner.

Li Huaishan also looked back at the big and small black and the hammer, and looked at me helplessly.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Clear out a suitcase, put the big and small black in it, and when you get out of the car, I will drag the suitcase and you will hold the hammer." ”

It just so happened that there was a parking place nearby, so I immediately stopped the car, Li Huaishan took a suitcase out of the trunk, and poured out all the contents by dividing it by two, and I put the big and small black inside.

The two little ones woke up from the jolt, but when I stuffed them into the suitcase, they didn't object at all, and they were very cooperative.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Huaishan and I finally entered the alley, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen the alley entrance in Shanghai, the old brick and old tile buildings, the wires across the head, and the cars and motorcycles parked on the side of the road are the most intuitive impression that the alley gave me.

The surrounding buildings are supposed to have been built in the late Qing Dynasty, and although there are some obvious signs of renovation, the fragrance wafting through the air is indeed from more than 90 years ago.

Li Huaishan and I looked for the signs on the map for a long time before we found the gate of Zhang Yuan, and a young man in a leather jacket saw us from a distance and waved at us with a smile. He doesn't look like a person in the industry, but like a young man who has just become a good society, with a sophisticated temperament.

To tell you the truth, this man is not bad-looking, but if you look closely at his eyes, you will see that his eyes are very dark, like dead fish.

I dragged my suitcase up to him and politely reached out and shook it with him: "If you don't." ”

Li Huaishan also introduced himself after me.

The man kept a steady smile on his face, and said, "I'm Gai Dong, and it is estimated that the Void Cloud Dao Leader has already told me some things before you." Come on, let's have a drink first, and sit down and talk about something. ”

After saying that, he walked towards the depths of the alley, and I followed him, asking as I went, "I heard from the chief of the Tao, it was you who suggested that I leave home." ”

Gai Dong smiled and responded: "I'm not talking about travel, it's about feelings, I suggest you leave your house and spend a year feeling the outside world." Hey, do you have a feeling that as you get older, time seems to get faster and faster? Now a year is like a month when I was a child. ”

I replied in the affirmative, and Gai Dong continued: "When people grow up, they don't have time to feel the world, except for those big events that can change their lives, everything is passed in a hurry, and basically it doesn't leave too deep traces in memory. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his face sideways, looked at me with his spare eyes, and said, "The reason why human beings are the spirits of all things is because they can feel things that other beings can't. ”

I said, "I thought the biggest difference between humans and animals was the ability to make and use tools. ”

"Then why are humans able to make and use tools?" Gai Dong continued to walk towards the depths of the alley while taking a step, and said: "Human society has developed to this day, and people in the world have forgotten the power of the word 'feeling', only those in our industry still remember, but not everyone remembers. This is it. ”

As I spoke, he led me to a small door on the side of the road, and I had been talking all the time, not paying attention to the scene around me, when I felt something on my side that seemed to block the light, and when I looked at it, I saw a dark red sign the size of a table sticking out of the wall horizontally, with the word "wine" written on it.

Then I stepped back a little and looked up the door, there was nothing on it, only the signboard in the whole storefront.

I was surprised, so I asked Gai Dong, "What's the name of your shop?" ”

Gai Dong pushed open the door of the store and sighed helplessly: "It's called 'Must Not Quit It' bar, this name was given by my obscene master, I think it's ugly, so I haven't hung it." Come in and see what you can drink. ”

I dragged my suitcase into the store, and Li Huaishan carried the hammer on his shoulder, which was staring everywhere with wide eyes, and followed me into the door.

Today is the first time I have entered a bar in my life, I don't know what the other bars are like, but the decoration style of this building is really ...... It's too casual, with white walls and white roofs, a bar made of pure wood, a cheap looking wine rack, and a dozen dark red swivel chairs, and a few simple sets of pure wood tables and chairs by the window.

Gai Dong took a wine list from behind the bar and said to me with a smile: "When I first opened this branch, my master didn't have any money on hand, so he tossed the store into this bear-like look. ”
