The night is enchanting.

Cheerful music was played all the way back to the courtyard.

The courtyard gate is big enough for cars to drive directly in.

Wen Ziyang and Li Yunlong were already waiting in the courtyard, and Wang Biao and the others before were nowhere to be found.

As soon as he got out of the car, Wen Ziyang gave Xi Jie a hug: "It's okay, I'm finally back." ”

Li Yunlong punched Xi Jie hard in the chest, and smiled.

"Hehe, I don't lack arms or legs, I heard that an old pervert tied you up, and the festival is still there, right?"

Xi Jie was speechless.

"Wangwang"

Xiao Hei ran out of the car and barked at Li Yunlong, he didn't follow Xu Fan everywhere in the past two days, he stayed at He Kun's house, and he was a little close to Xi Jie.

"Damn, where did the dog come from, barking so loudly. Li Yunlong was taken aback.

Xiao Hei's size is now bigger than an ordinary German shepherd dog, especially with the improvement of Xu Fan's cultivation, under the effect of dog control, Xiao Hei's strength has more than doubled, and he grinned at this time, looking quite terrifying.

Xu Fan closed the car door and shouted: "Xiao Hei, don't scream, he is your brother, call your brother." ”

Xiao Hei tilted his head, looked at Li Yunlong, and made a "oh oh" sound in his throat for a long time, sounding like he was calling his brother.

"Yo, this dog can, and this kind of skill, it's called Xiao Hei, right, come, call my brother again." Li Yunlong squatted down and teased it.

"Oh oh" Xiao Hei gave him face and opened his mouth again.

Li Yunlong was elated and immediately fell in love with this black pastoral dog.

"Okay, Xiao Hei, Dad still has something to do, you go to the door and keep guard. ”

Xu Fan waved his hand, and Xiao Hei obediently ran to the door to find a place to sit down.

Li Yunlong was stunned, and then angrily clenched his fists and gestured in the air: "Xu Fan, you are good enough, call me brother, call you father, you are a generation higher than me, why don't I call you dad too?"

"Please don't do that, I'm the dad you'll never get. After speaking, Xu Fan grinned, and after laughing, he ran upstairs.

"Xu Fan! You're finished! You're completely finished!" Li Yunlong roared and chased after him.

Wen Ziyang and Xi Jie were not surprised, and went upstairs while chatting.

"The destination has arrived, this navigation is over, and you are welcome to use it again. ”

It takes two hours to drive from Nanjiang City to Yufeng Town, a small town in Linshi.

"Mr. Wang, Yufeng Town has arrived. ”

The driver of the He family turned his head, but saw the middle-aged man in the back row looking out the window with a blank expression, remembering what He Jianxiong told him before leaving, the driver waited quietly and did not disturb the middle-aged man again.

Although the night is dark, under the street lamp, Wang Zhi'an's eyesight can still clearly see the surrounding environment.

However, the more clearly he looked, the more dazed he became.

I still remember that in Yufeng Town 20 years ago, there were no street lights, no buildings with more than three floors, and no such smooth asphalt roads.

The small shop at the corner of the street has been replaced by a shopping supermarket, and rows of energy-saving lights are lit at night.

The small restaurant I frequented in my memory is gone, and it is a six-story restaurant.

The post and telecommunications offices, credit unions, and fodder sellers are all gone.

The wide road is lined with neat buildings on both sides, and you can't find a hint of familiarity.

For a moment, Wang Zhian thought he had come to the wrong place.

thanked the driver, opened the door and got out of the car, Wang Zhi'an walked hurriedly towards the location of his home in his memory in a trance.

"Mr. Wang, wait, Mr. Xu Fan asked me to hand it over to you. The driver caught up, ignored Wang Zhian's resignation, and stuffed him with a bank card and several stacks of 100 yuan bills.

Wang Zhi'an's heart swelled with emotion, and he didn't refuse again, what he owed Xu Fan was a life, and this money was secondary.

The driver then drove away.

After a short time, Wang Zhi'an stood still on a small street in the middle of the town, and in front of him was a small three-story western-style building with a small façade.

Unlike in the big cities, there are no community houses in the town, they are basically door-to-door, and when he left, his home was still a bungalow with a roof covered with tiles.

At this time, the rolling shutter door under the three-story small building was closed, and there was a faint glimmer of light coming through, and Wang Zhian could hear the sound of a TV inside.

"The family has built a new house, and Xiugui is good that she doesn't have to suffer herself. Wang Zhi'an thought.

Bang bang bang.

Agitated, he stepped forward and knocked heavily on the door, his trembling hands showing uncontrollable nervousness.

"It's been more than nineteen years, Xiugui, how are you doing?

"I miss you day and night, and I miss our children. ”

"I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, let you raise your family alone, I will compensate you in the future, I will let you live a better life. ”

Many words swirled in his head, and he had endless thoughts that he wanted to express at once.

In my mind, what came to mind was a big girl with braids and a floral skirt, not as foreign as people in the city, but with the simple temperament and clear eyes of rural people.

There was the sound of footsteps, getting closer.

"Who?"

When the door opened, what appeared in Wang Zhi'an's eyes was a short, stout, and somewhat fat middle-aged man wearing a white vest and slippers.

He glanced Wang Zhi'an up and down, and saw that he didn't know him, so he asked, "Do you want to buy something?"

Wang Zhi'an was stunned, his mind was blank, and he nodded subconsciously.

"It's all night, come in and see. Ah Xiu, come out quickly. The short middle-aged man walked back in slippers, but the latter sentence was shouted at the house.

"Lao Li, what are you talking about?"

"Come out quickly, somebody buys something. ”

"Ah, here we go. There was a response from inside.

Wang Zhi'an walked in the door.

The house is a small shop, and the shelves are stocked with toothbrushes, tissues, cups and other daily groceries.

After the stout middle-aged man entered, a woman who was also a little blessed came out.

Dressed in loose summer pajamas, her hair is coiled behind her head, crow's feet and melasma are more obvious on her slightly chubby face, she has a smile on her face, business has not been good recently, I didn't expect that someone would knock on the door to buy things when I was about to go to bed at night.

"Big brother, what do you want to buy?"

As soon as she came out, Wang Zhi'an's eyes fell straight on her, his eyes did not blink, and he looked at her fixedly.

"Big brother?"

The woman's eyes were puzzled, and the man's eyes made her a little uneasy.

Wang Zhi'an came back to his senses slightly, he squeezed out a smile on his face that could not see any joy, and spit out a name vigorously in his mouth: "Zhang Xiugui." ”

"Ah, do we know each other?"

Zhang Xiugui was surprised, and carefully observed Wang Zhi'an in the light, with long hair, thin like a seriously ill patient, dressed quite neatly, she had never seen this person in her impression, but her appearance was faintly familiar, could it be a fellow who worked outside?

She smiled without losing embarrassment: "Big brother only came back when he was working outside, it changed a lot when I went out, I can't recognize it, what do you need, I'll give you a cheaper." ”

Wang Zhi'an's chest rose and fell violently a few times, and there was indescribable bitterness in his eyes.

He trembled and reached out and pointed at something casually: "That, that." ”

"Towel? Is this blue one okay?" Zhang Xiugui took off the towel and handed it to Wang Zhi'an: "Usually it sells for eighteen yuan a piece, count you fifteen yuan." ”

Wang Zhian trembled and took out a stack of 100 yuan bills and handed them to Zhang Xiugui, turned around in a daze, and walked out with a towel.

"Eh, big brother, I don't need so much money. Zhang Xiugui's eyes widened, and there was a thick stack in his hand, estimated at one or two thousand yuan.

She hurriedly chased out the door, but found that Wang Zhi'an had already walked far away and quickly disappeared into the night, and she couldn't catch up no matter how much she chased him.

Far from the street there is a secluded mountain forest, with no street lights, only dim starlight.

Wang Zhi'an sat on the ground leaning against the trunk of the tree, his eyes were glazed, his mind was in chaos, and he didn't even know how he got here.

It's just that the blue towel is still tightly grasped in his hand.

After a while, a low whimper sounded in the forest, and gradually, the whimper turned into a howl.

Zhang Xiugui ...... Why don't you wait for me...... Why don't you wait for me...... I've been thinking about you for nineteen years...... Why can't you even recognize me......"

“...... Xiugui...... Why are you so old...... You're not as pretty as you used to be...... But I still recognize you at a glance......"

“...... As long as you're doing well...... As long as you can ...... well."

He covered his face with a blue towel and cried hysterically and in a mess.
