Lao Hongtou expressed great dissatisfaction with his granddaughter's partial generalization, sighed and said: "In this world, it is difficult to be a good person, and he also has his difficulties, compared with the current bureaucrats and warlords, he is still a good official." ”

Luo Lie was eating steamed buns silently, if it wasn't for Yingzi's insistence, he wouldn't have come over to eat, he had been here for a long time, and he had only eaten with Lao Hongtou a handful of times.

Lao Hongtou looked at Luo Lie, and a look of pity appeared on his face again: "Boy, this beard should also be shaved." ”

Luo Lie stuffed the last mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, and then laughed, revealing a mouthful of neat and white teeth, he hadn't had a haircut and shave for so long, not because he was lazy, but because he wanted to live a completely different life from the past, he wanted to say goodbye to the past, and wanted to anesthetize himself, but he was awake all the time, there was a secret he didn't tell anyone, his insomnia symptoms were getting worse and worse, since he lost Yan Tianxin, he almost reached the point of being unable to sleep at night.

Yingzi patted Luo Lie on the shoulder with some dissatisfaction: "Beagle, are you dumb? Grandpa is talking to you." ”

Luo Lie snorted, and then said, "I'll shave Ming'er." ”

Lao Hongtou laughed: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll help you shave tomorrow morning." ”

"You?" Yingzi's apricot eyes widened again.

Lao Hongtou shouted, "What's the matter?

The light of the human razor slid rapidly on Luo Lie's face, and the beard that had grown in the past three months fell suddenly, Luo Lie lay in the sun, quietly experiencing the feeling of the blade on his face, the sword and sword shadow of the past seemed to have left him, during this time he often fell into confusion, what he had experienced was really illusory?

Yingzi specially moved a small Mazha after class, sat opposite them, sat in the golden autumn sunshine and watched them, originally Lao Hongtou planned to help Luo Hunt cut his hair together, but Yingzi had to insist on waiting for himself to come back, Lao Hongtou said while helping Luo Hunt shave: "This girl has grown up and is out of breath, and I forgot that I shaved all her heads." ”

Yingzi smiled: "No one treated me as a girl until I was twelve. ”

Luo Lie couldn't help laughing, this smile, the razor cut a shallow cut on his cheek, and Lao Hongtou hurriedly said: "Don't laugh, don't laugh...... Oh, look at my old dizzy ......"

Yingzi walked over and said, "It's okay, a shallow opening won't leave a scar." She reached out to her grandfather for a razor.

Lao Hongtou was stunned for a moment and said, "You will too?"

Yingzi took the razor, skillfully cleaned Luo Lie's face, and said softly: "Dong Zhijun's head is so difficult to shave, and he can't be obedient. ”

Lao Hongtou smiled, came to Yingzi and sat down in front of the little horse that he had just sat down, looking at his granddaughter's skillful skills, and his heart was relieved and sour, Yingzi has grown up, in her marriage, she is not without paying, this child is too stubborn, even if she is wronged, she will not tell herself those grievances, she is afraid that she is worried, Luo Lie is the same, these children who used to run and play under their knees have grown up unconsciously, and they are already old.

The scissors in Yingzi's hand flew above Luo Lie's head, and it didn't take long for Luo Hunt to cut his hair, flat head and short hair, and without asking Luo Lie's opinion, he cut his hair very short, less than half an inch, and he looked extraordinarily energetic.

Although the sun in Jinmen is not as hot and hot as that outside the Saiwai, Luo Lie's complexion has deepened after a long time of outdoor work, and his eyes are still bright, but there is a little more obvious melancholy in the depths of his eyes.

Yingzi circled around Luo Lie, expressed satisfaction with his work, and said to Luo Lie: "You two talk first, I'll go and get you a basin of hot water to wash your hair." ”

Luo Lie said: "No, just flush with cold water." ”

Yingzi said: "It's autumn, don't be reckless." She patted the shredded hair on her body and went in a hurry.

Luo Lie looked at Yingzi's back with gratitude on his face, Lao Hongtou handed a rolled cigarette roll to Luo Lie, Luo Hunt was not picky, took out a box of foreign fire, first helped the old man light it, and then lit the cigarette roll himself, took a hard puff of cigarette, and smoked the fragrance and spiciness of tobacco into his lungs.

Lao Hongtou said: "What I can't worry about the most is the two of them." ”

Luo Lie comforted him and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is really not your turn to worry about this matter." ”

Lao Hongtou sighed: "Also, I don't have many days to live, and it's useless to worry about it." ”

Luo Lie smiled: "Grandpa Hong, you can live a long life, and I haven't drunk enough of your private wine." ”

Lao Hongtou laughed and said, "That's it, I have to see you marry your daughter-in-law...... Peace. Halfway through the words, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he may have inadvertently poked the child's sore spot.

Luo Lie's heart tightened, but the expression on his face was still light: "I may ......" If it weren't for the old man inadvertently mentioning this issue, Luo Lie didn't know that he had a deep fear of marriage and feelings in his heart, and he even felt that his feelings were cursed, and every woman who loved him would die a bad death.

Lao Hongtou stood up in surprise at this time: "Governing the army?"

"Grandpa!" Dong Zhijun's loud voice sounded from the courtyard gate.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Luo Lie's lips, not only because of the old man's problem just now that he was distracted, but also because he was seriously injured in the desperate battle with the Lion King in the Heavenly Temple, and his physical strength and perception had decreased to a great extent, Luo Lie even suspected that the energy of the Hui Xin Stone was also lost in that battle, and he who lost his superhuman perception ability was almost no different from an ordinary person.

Luo Lie would rather be an ordinary person, this is one of the reasons why he came back here, he is quietly looking for the past, ordinary is happiness, but during this time, he began to gradually realize that some things can never go back, the memories left in his mind, tormenting him day and night.

Dong Zhijun is not wearing a police uniform today, a suit and leather shoes, his hair is combed and shiny, he looks like a rich boy, holding gifts in both hands, and walking over with a smile on his face.

Yingzi came out of the room with hot water, didn't look at Dong Zhijun, put the hot water in front of Luo Lie, and pressed Luo Lie's head into the basin, Luo Lie screamed: "Hot, sister...... It's hot!"

Yingzi snorted, and finally glanced at Dong Zhijun: "Like a girl, you are a man!"

Dong Zhijun heard that she was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, put down the gift in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yingzi, I bought you incense powder and rouge ...... from Huangpu."

Yingzi said: "You know me very well, have I used those things in my daily life?"

Luo Lie struggled and said, "Sister, I'll ...... by myself."

"Don't move!" Yingzi scrubbed Luo Lie's head vigorously, and even Lao Hongtou began to worry, is this a hair wash or hair loss?

Dong Zhijun smiled: "It's me who is wrong, I went for so long this time, but I didn't expect that it was a month, who would have thought that ...... happened halfway"

Yingzi said: "Where's the luggage?"

Dong Zhijun said: "Put it home." ”

Yingzi laughed.

Dong Zhijun looked more and more embarrassed: "It's not always the case that I came with my luggage, so I put my luggage down and came over, I didn't even bother to drink hot tea at home." He looked at Luo Lie as he spoke, hoping that he could help him speak, but Luo Lie's head was pressed in the basin by Yingzi and he didn't have a chance to help.

Yingzi let go of Luo Lie's head, threw him a towel, and then picked up the basin of water and splashed it at Dong Zhijun's feet, Dong Zhijun didn't expect her to do this trick, a pair of shiny leather shoes couldn't dodge, and was splashed all over mud.

Yingzi couldn't help but laugh when she saw his embarrassed appearance.

Dong Zhijun also laughed with him, his wife's temper has always been like this, it comes and goes quickly, if he doesn't let it go, the two of them are afraid that they won't be able to go today.

Lao Hongtou deliberately put on a straight face and reprimanded: "Yingzi, it's getting more and more disagreeable, you haven't come back for so long, and you treat people like this as soon as you come back." On the surface, he was scolding his granddaughter, but after thinking about it carefully, his words were full of blaming Dong Zhijun for going for so long, and in the end it was towards his granddaughter.

Dong Zhijun smiled: "Blame me, blame me all." ”

Luo Liele, who had wiped his head and face, walked over, called his brother-in-law, and said hello to Dong Zhijun. Dong Zhijun didn't know that Luo Lie was there, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, beagle, where did you get rich these days?"

Yingzi snorted and said, "You also called the beagle?"

Luo Lie helped to play the round and said: "It's all a family, of course my brother-in-law doesn't have to be polite to me." ”

Dong Zhijun handed Luo Lie a grateful look, and he smiled: "Seeing that it's noon, it's better to go to Pingjin Building for dinner." ”

Lao Hongtou said: "Don't mind, what are you doing with that unjust money? Let Yingzi go grocery shopping and eat at home." ”

Yingzi went to push the bicycle without saying a word, but Dong Zhijun would see the opportunity and hurriedly followed: "Yingzi, I'll go with you." ”

Yingzi shook his head and said, "You can rest, you came from all afar." "It's still false to say that it's not distressed, one day husband and wife for 100 days, although the two of them are not happy after marriage, but Dong Zhijun's kindness to her can be seen clearly, otherwise, she would have divorced Dong Zhijun a long time ago.

After Yingzi left, Luo Lie went to the house and moved a small low table, and the three of them took Mazha and sat around the low table and drank a large bowl of tea.

Dong Zhijun told what happened during his trip to Huangpu, it turned out that he went to Huangpu this time to send a public faction, Dong Zhijun was a Chinese detective in the German concession, and he went to Huangpu to investigate the murder of the German consul.
