A cold wind blew and I shivered.

It was quiet, there was no one in the restaurant but me, and I tried to find the woman in the darkness, but found nothing.

Standing in the center of the restaurant, I turned on all the lights, this store is really good, spacious and bright, and the location is good, it has been vacant for so long, Zhao Wei has lost a lot.

After returning to the rental house, Zhang Mingming began to talk about the catering with me again, took out a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator and took a sip, I asked him if he was serious.

His eyes lit up, and he said sure.

Then, Zhang Ming came up very excitedly and wanted to ask something more, I went back to the house and said that I was very tired and wanted to rest.

Lying on the bed, I opened WeChat and took a special look at Lin Lu's circle of friends, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this woman didn't even send a selfie, let alone share it.

All the dynamics are just the sharing of some current situation and financial news, which is really boring.

Just like this, she doesn't look like a single woman in her twenties at all, but like an ascetic uncle in her forties and fifties. It is estimated that this WeChat account is just her work account.

There's nothing wrong with it, with my friendship with Lin Lu, people will definitely not > life

Thinking about it, I was so disappointed that I simply turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the days that followed, I rested for a few days, and after that, I went to the hospital, and Zhao Wei, who had a stroke, was lying on the bed looking at me, his condition was not very serious, and he could still talk, but it was not very convenient to walk.

When the nurse had finished wiping him, I said to him:

"If I'm not mistaken, your son Zhao Chen, should have seen something, right?"

He snorted, saliva ran down the corner of his mouth, and the little nanny on the side quickly wiped it for him.

I continued: "The reason why your son is crazy is that he should be held down by something, and I can help him get back to normal, but I have one condition. ”

"What...... What conditions? He asked me in a slurred tone.

I said, "I want to rent your shop for twice the market price!" ”

……

……

Zhao Wei has a lot of houses, I remember he told me before, he has three in the urban area, all of them are elevator apartments, and there are two garden houses in the suburbs, not including the sea view houses in Sanya, Hainan.

However, what he likes to live in the most is this villa he bought more than ten years ago.

Detached house, more than 300 square meters, with a large yard.

The loquat tree was full of fruit, and I stood under the tree with a shovel in my hand and stared at the yellow fruit of the tree for a long time. Then, facing the dirt next to the roots of the tree, I dug it down with a shovel.

Again and again, as I dug deeper, the sack containing the corpse of the small tree was finally dug out by me.

More than ten years have passed, and the child's body has long become a pile of dry bones. One day half a month later, according to the information given to me by Sister Zeng, I found the grave of Wang Gang and Xie Ru and his wife.

This is a small hill far away from the city, because she died in her own shop, Sister Zeng is also a conscientious owner, not only responsible for all the funeral affairs of their husband and wife, but also personally went to the countryside to find a piece of land to bury them.

Two simple little dirt bags side by side, not even a tombstone, I buried the corpse of the little tree in their midst, surrounded by wild flowers, and I sat for a while on a large rock next to me.

I couldn't tell which one Wang Gang's grave was, so I took out a pack of cigarettes and put it on the ground casually.

"Brother Wang, this is what I asked you to do, you smoke slowly."

After going down the mountain, I glanced up, and in a trance, I really saw Wang Gang standing halfway up the mountain, smoking and waving at me, next to him, there was a pair of wives and children, and the family was happy.

When I took a taxi home, my phone rang, and it was a >

Lin Lu sent it.

She actually took the initiative to send me a message, and after being excited for half a minute, I quickly clicked:

Hello Song Kun, something has happened to me recently, it's very bizarre. I hope to get your help, you see when you have time to come over and talk about it, my address is ......

Although it was only a few concise sentences, it fully showed that she needs me very much now.

Resisting the ups and downs in my heart, I only replied with two words: Okay.

The reason why I am reserved is that I am afraid that my gushing passage will disturb the goddess again.

Looking at the phone screen and leaning my head on the seat, I thought about a question: something must have happened to Lin Lu.

remembered that day on the bus, when her nanny talked about her resignation, her face was relaxed and proud, as if she was relieved. She also said that Lin Lu would be schizophrenic at night.

I didn't care at the time, white-collar workers like Lin Lu must have more mental pressure than ordinary people, maybe there will be some depression at night, which is normal.

However, patients with mild depression generally do not realize that they have a problem, and Lin Lu will take the initiative to contact me, which means that her situation is more serious.

At least, it's not just depression and schizophrenia.

The next day, I replied to Lin Lu on WeChat, making an appointment for her to meet, this time Lin Lu replied in seconds, saying that it was convenient at any time, and I thought about it for a while:

Why don't you get off work this afternoon and I'll come to you?

She replied that it was no problem, and that I was thinking about what I could do with her to make sure that the conversation between us was continuous, when a phone call came, and the voice of an unfamiliar young man came to the other end.

"Is it Song Kun, I'm Zhao Chen......" When he said this, he paused: "You, you should know me, right?" ”

I said yes.

The man's voice on the phone was very normal, and he didn't speak quickly or slowly, just like the two of me when I met him in a mental hospital.

"You...... Discharged? I asked him.

He also said yes, and after a while of silence between us, he said that his father Zhao Wei had promised me to rent the shop to me, and now that he came out, his father had a stroke and had difficulty moving, and he signed the contract.

Anyway, I'm fine now, so I made an appointment with him to meet at the pedestrian street shop later.

Before leaving, I saw Zhang Ming still at home, lying naked on the sofa lazily.

I asked him why he didn't go to work, he sighed and said, I didn't pay my salary for a few months, and yesterday I heard the news that the owner of the chain store was chased by the supplier, and everyone was sent to the police station.

"So you're not going to work today?"

"I'm not going!"

I thought for a moment: "Why don't you go out with me, I have seen a good shop, I want to open a restaurant, you can help me see how the location is." ”

When Zhang Mingming heard this, he suddenly gained his spirit, quickly put on his clothes and went out with me.

The moment I left, a dark shadow flashed in the living room again, and I glanced at the other side and closed the door and left.
