But Duan Lengyan has already taken root in her heart, and it can't be erased by erasing it. Wan Dong sighed, and her heart became more and more disturbed with so many things going on.
Walking aimlessly on the streets of Zhanhuang City, Wan Dong wanted to sort out all this, but the result was that the more he sorted it out, the more confused he became. To the point where he just wanted to saw off his head. Just open it.
"Forget it, I can't even think about it, it's better to just let nature take its course." Wandong murmured, suppressing all his thoughts in his heart and letting them ferment on their own. This trick worked really well, and my heavy heart suddenly seemed to lighten up a lot.
When he looked up, although it was already late at night, a small wine shop on the street was still dimly lit. In this late night, this dim light is full of warmth and feels like home. Wandong's heart moved and he couldn't help but walked over.
It is indeed a small wine shop. The plaque on the door is already mottled, and it seems to be quite old. The furnishings of the wine shop are also very simple. There is only a counter, five or six tables, and a dozen benches. It is simple, but it is extremely clean and tidy. The tables and stools are also spotless, and they are cleaned very frequently at a glance. .
Wandong was worried that he had nowhere to go. This small wine shop that was still open late at night was simply the best place for him to go at the moment, so he took a step inside.
"Old lady, put it down, put it down, didn't I say, let me do all these heavy tasks!"
Wandong was looking at the owner of the wine shop. Behind him, an old couple walked in one after another. The old couple each had frosty hair and were slightly stooped. It looked like they were already in their seventies. The old woman walked in front, holding a swill bucket in her hand, as if she had just poured out the swill. The old man followed behind, mumbling incessantly, with a face full of love and care.
Such an environment and such an old couple made Wandong's heart suddenly warm up, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"What kind of hard work is pouring swill? I've been pouring it all my life, it's okay!" The old woman waved her hand and laughed. The sweetness contained in that smile is no less than that of those young girls.
"Why isn't it heavy? It weighs more than ten kilograms. How can your body bear it..."
The old man refused to give up and kept chattering, but the old woman had already noticed Wandong, and hurriedly patted him and said back, "Stop talking, we have a guest."
"Guest?" The old man turned his head in confusion and looked at Wandong.
Wandong didn't expect that the owners of this small wine shop would be an elderly couple. He said a little embarrassedly, "It's so late, I'm disturbing two old people."
"Haha... It's late, it's early, right?" The grandfather looked like an extrovert at first glance. After being slightly surprised, a cheerful smile immediately appeared on his face.
Wan Dong turned his head and glanced at the eastern night sky through the window. Sure enough, it was already the slightly white dawn.
"Little brother, are you drinking or... forget it, drinking so early is not good for your health. I'd better get you something to eat? Old man, just say hello and I'll do it!"
"It's better for me to go. It's not bright yet, and my eyesight is better than yours."
"What's the use of having good eyes? The food must be delicious. You still need to practice!"
"Practice, practice, practice, I've been practicing all my life, even Lao Wang next door can't tell which of us cooks delicious food..."
Before the old man could say anything, the old woman had already opened the door curtain and walked into the backyard of the wine shop, which made the old man sigh helplessly.
Wan Dong came forward with a smile and said, "Grandma feels sorry for you and is afraid that you will be tired."
"She feels sorry for me, don't I feel sorry for her? Hey!" The old man muttered, then suddenly remembered that Wandong was a guest, and hurriedly said, "Young man, do it quickly, I will pour you tea!"
"No need..." Wandong couldn't bear to let an old man run around to serve him. He was about to stop him, but the old man had already walked away quickly, without giving him a chance. After a while, a cup of fragrant tea arrived in front of Wandong.
"Young man, try it. This is the new tea I picked this year. It's very delicious." The old man urged.
Wandong took a careful sip, and sure enough, a very fresh smell lingered on the tip of his tongue, which was very good. After nodding and praising him, Wandong asked, "Old man, why did you get up so early?"
The old man hummed and said, "On this day, we have to prepare all kinds of dishes one by one. If there is something missing, we have to buy it in time. There are also a lot of chores to clean the table and benches. It's not early enough."
"Isn't that very hard work?" Looking at the old man's frosty hair, Wandong felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.
"Hard work? No, no, no, not hard at all." The old man shook his head repeatedly.
Wandong initially thought that the old man was just covering up, but from his face, Wandong really didn't notice even a trace of hardship or complaint. On the contrary, Wandong felt a deep sense of satisfaction and satisfaction from the old man's eyes. hapiness.
Wan Dong was a little confused for a moment, and he really couldn't understand how he could not be hardworking if he worked from dawn to dusk every day to make a living. Wan Dong couldn't help but shook his head, thinking in his heart, if he was allowed to live the life of an old man, I'm afraid he would never feel even a trace of happiness.
"Come on, young man, take a sip of the white porridge first. I just made it. It's very fragrant." The old lady raised the curtain and walked in, holding a tray in her hand. There was a bowl of white porridge on the tray. There are also several plates of side dishes such as dried radish and vinegared peanuts.
Wandong was about to get up to pick it up, but the old man was faster than him. He stood up suddenly and hurriedly reached out to take the tray from the old grandma's hand.
The speed of the grandfather's movements certainly surprised Wandong, but the way the grandfather looked at the grandmother at this moment made Wandong's mind explode with a bang, as if it was exploding, turning everything upside down.
He suddenly understood why the old man still felt satisfied and happy despite such a hard life. It was because of love!
How can you feel tired when you can spend your whole life with your beloved? Wandong's original sympathy for the old couple turned into envy in an instant. How happy would it be if one day he could guard such a small shop with his beloved woman and live a peaceful life
"Young man, what are you doing standing still? Come and try it!" the old lady said with a smile.
Wandong nodded slightly and took a mouthful of white porridge. An unusually sweet taste immediately filled Wandong's heart.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Wandong said sincerely without any pretense.
As soon as these words came out, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on the old woman's face, and she said repeatedly, "Then you eat first, and I will cook you some vegetables!"
"Old lady, I'd better go!"
"You should rest, I'm not tired!"
"But… "
The old woman didn't let the old man finish her words, so she disappeared behind the curtain again.
The old man sighed helplessly and had no choice but to give up and sit down again with Wan Dong.
Plop!
Just as Wan Dong was savoring the sweetest porridge he had ever tasted in his life, a muffled sound suddenly came from the backyard of the wine shop. Wandong and the old man looked at each other. At first, they thought it was something falling on the ground and didn't take it seriously. But then the old woman's exclamation shocked both of them.
"Old woman, what's wrong with you!?" The old man's face turned pale, he shouted, turned around and ran towards the backyard, but accidentally knocked over the stool, staggered and fell down.
Fortunately, Wan Dong reacted quickly enough and reached out to pull the old grandfather back at the critical moment, thus preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Leave me alone, hurry up, go see my wife..." The old man waved his hands repeatedly before he could stand completely, struggling and rushing towards the backyard again.
Worried that something might happen to the old grandpa again, Wan Dong simply carried him on his back and carried him to the backyard like the wind.
When he came to the backyard, Wandong saw the old lady standing there perfectly fine. Although her face was full of fear, there were no injuries on her body, so she should be fine.
"Old lady, what's wrong with you?" The old man struggled and jumped off Wandong's back, rushed forward in a few steps, and held his wife's hand. She held her tightly, as if if she let go, the old lady would disappear.
"Dead...dead person!" Under the grandfather's endless questioning and comfort, the old woman finally came back to her senses and said with trembling lips.
Wan Dong frowned and hurriedly followed the old lady's eyes and looked over. This look really surprised her. I saw a man covered in blood lying in the corner of the backyard wall, motionless, just like a dead person.
"Ah!" The old man was caught off guard and startled, and subconsciously hugged the old woman.
This old couple had never seen such a scene in their ordinary lives, so it was normal for them to be frightened. Thinking of the muffled popping sound before, this person must have come in from the outside and should still be alive.
Wandong comforted the old couple and walked over.
The man was originally lying on his stomach, but Wan Dong carefully turned him over and put him on his back.
"Feiyang!?" Once he saw this person's face clearly, Wandong's name immediately appeared in his mind.
By now, Wandong's memory has been completely integrated with Xu Yaoting's, and they no longer distinguish each other, so they naturally recognize Feiyang!
Feiyang and Mingju are undoubtedly Xu Tianlong's most trusted subordinates. They have regarded them as brothers for more than ten years. Every time Xu Tianlong went home, he would take the two of them with him. Xu Yaoting not only knew them, but was also quite familiar with them.
Wan Dong was shocked at first, he didn't expect Feiyang to appear in Zhanhuang City. But after thinking about it, Wandong was not so surprised anymore. Mingju and Feiyang were loyal to Xu Tianlong. Xu Tianlong was caught in Zhanhuang City. It would be strange if the two of them did not appear here.
Recognizing Feiyang, Wandong didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly put a trace of Qi into his body, and carefully explored his injuries... (To be continued)
