Xue Menglong, forty-five years old this year, friends like to call him Lao Xue, and students respect him as Teacher Xue.
He is usually unsmiling, looks old-fashioned and serious, like the kind of person who is very difficult to deal with, but neighbors, colleagues and students all know that he is actually a kind-hearted and kind-hearted person. Students from poor families recharge their meal cards to buy study materials, lend money and things to friends and neighbors...
He is such a nice guy.
It is said that good people are rewarded with good rewards, so Xue Menglong has a happy family, Gao Tang is both alive, his wife is gentle and virtuous, and he has a pair of particularly promising children.
As a teacher who earns a salary of several thousand yuan a month, he not only has to bear the expenses of his children studying abroad and the normal expenses of the family, but also does good deeds. I want to go out to earn some extra money. It is said that I will go to a big city to teach the children of those rich families. I heard that I can earn hundreds of dollars an hour——
As for true or false
Regardless, everyone knows that Lao Xue is a good person anyway.
During the National Day holiday, Lao Xue went out again, but this time he came back earlier than everyone expected. He used to come back only on the 7th, but this time he came back on the 4th.
"Hey, old Xue, why did you come back so early this time?" A neighbor asked, "Did you come back because of another student?"
In the memory of the neighbors, if Lao Xue came back early after a long trip, it was usually for the sake of the students.
Xue Menglong was not very interested, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."
"Old Xue, you are such a good teacher." This neighbor couldn't remember how many times he had said this sentence, but he never tired of saying it.
"Should, should." Xue Menglong replied modestly as usual.
The setting sun is about to set, and the light red sunset glow hangs in the sky, like a beautiful smile, revealing the quiet evening of the town.
Xue Menglong dragged his tired body and pushed open the large iron gate, and walked into the small courtyard. His wife was picking vegetables in the courtyard, and raised her head when she heard the sound, "Hey, why are you back?"
After asking, she quickly got up and wiped her hands on the apron, went up to take the briefcase from her husband, and patted the dust off his body.
"The parents of a student have been working outside for many years. I heard that they went home the day before yesterday. I thought about going to visit their home before they went out, so I came back early." Xue Menglong explained.
As a wife, she obviously understands and understands her husband. She has no objection to this, but just nodded and said: "It's better to come back early, go wash your hands and change your clothes, and you can eat in a while."
Dangdang~
When the couple were about to go back into the house, there were two knocks on the big iron door behind them, which were not too heavy.
"I'm going to open the door."
Xue Menglong turned back and opened the big iron gate, and an unfamiliar but impressive person appeared in front of him, because they had only met this morning for the first time.
With a smile on his face, Liu Yanbo asked very friendly: "Mr. Xue, don't you invite me to sit in?"
Many changes flashed in Xue Menglong's eyes, surprise, panic, anger, understanding... Finally, everything returned to calm, and he stepped aside and said, "Boss Liu, please come inside."
After Liu Yanbo walked into the yard, he took the initiative to greet Xue Menglong's wife, "Hello sister-in-law, I am Xiao Liu, a friend of Teacher Xue. I have been traveling here for the past few days. I heard that he is coming back today, so I came to visit. excuse me."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xue also greeted warmly: "Look at what you said, what's the trouble, come in and sit down."
Liu Yanbo responded with a smile, walked into the main room with Xue Menglong, and conveniently put the two gift boxes bought in the town by the wall.
"Xiao Liu, haven't you eaten yet?" Mrs. Xue asked.
Liu Yanbo shook his head shyly, his smile remained the same.
"Then you chat with Lao Xue first, and I'll go cook right now."
After his wife left, Xue Menglong slowly lowered his face, but his tone was quite steady: "Boss Liu, are you following me?"
Liu Yanbo lit a cigarette by himself, and asked, "Mr. Xue, are you sure you want to chat now?"
…
The sun had already set, and the sky was about to get dark. After dinner, Liu Yanbo and Xue Menglong walked side by side on the road, towards the open fields not far away.
They drank some wine, but it didn't make them impulsive. They seemed to have endless patience, waiting for the other party to mention the matter that should not be mentioned in this peaceful town.
In this season, the field is bare, without the prosperity of spring, not eye-catching, not colorful; nor the enthusiasm of summer, not interested in shaping, not moody and changeable. In the current it, everything is honest, just like some people, whether they want to or not, they will eventually uncover all disguises and give the most honest answers.
This field has an end, and at the end is a small stream with a small wooden bridge leading to the deep mountain.
Xue Menglong wanted to go into the mountains, but Liu Yanbo was unwilling. He stopped, sat casually on the wooden bridge, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Xue, you should understand that since I can appear in front of you alive, It means that no matter where we go now, the ending that belongs to you will never change again."
What does this mean
The meaning is very simple. After Liu Yanbo left Yunhai Forest Farm in the morning, someone wanted to kill him in the deep forest of Galu Mountain, but he survived—
It is usually not easy for those who survive, so they always cherish their lives more, and naturally they will not easily let anyone who wants to kill him go.
"Boss Liu, I don't think you are a policeman?" Xue Menglong also stopped, and sat next to Liu Yanbo.
Liu Yanbo lit the first cigarette after dinner, shook his head and said, "I'm not. So I can't figure out why you want me to die?"
Xue Menglong smiled, a very complicated smile, a little helpless and a little regretful, but in the end he said calmly: "Because although you are not a policeman, you are not a drug dealer either."
Liu Yanbo let out a "Huh", but he didn't look surprised, he pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "It seems that we all need to re-introduce ourselves, so I'll do it first..."
"My name is indeed Liu Yanbo, and my hometown is indeed in southern Hunan, but now I am from Haishi, and this time I came to Nanzhao Province because of the female policeman whose identity was identified by you."
The time for the showdown has arrived, so what's the use of hiding it
Xue Menglong seemed relieved, and sighed: "It's a wrong step, a wrong step!"
"My name is Xue Menglong. I am a middle school teacher and a drug dealer. Of course, Boss Liu, you are interested in my other identity, right?" Xue Menglong asked himself and answered, "Yes, I am the real one. Cave Master."
