Sometimes we think we are dead, but in fact you are still alive in the hearts of others.
Sometimes we think we are living a good life, but in fact, in the eyes of others, we are no different from a dead person.
The loneliest person in life is not one who lives alone, but one who makes trouble and no one cares about him.
Lao Li originally thought that not many people in the world would remember a man who had been declared dead for more than ten years after missing. But now, he suddenly realized that he was wrong. He has been good at strategy and calculation all his life, and he prides himself on understanding the world and understanding people's hearts, so he almost never has high hopes for people's world. He comes and goes freely, is cool and aloof, and always maintains a self-proclaimed safe distance from his friends or the women around him.
But until this moment, Lao Li once again realized that he was wrong. The last time I misjudged Bai Wuxia, this time I misjudged Lao Yuan and Wang Hongjun.
For several days in a row, Lao Li stayed around Yuan's house. In addition to Wang Hongjun, who likes to drink like crazy and scream for impeachment, we also see Jiao Xiaofeng, who is wrapped in a mechanical body and can move freely; and Bai Fangbing, a mother of two children; Han Jun, who has returned to the country after changing jobs; and the mink bear mercenary Those old people...
These people appeared at Yuan's house from time to time, conspiring with Lao Yuan to discuss important matters. There is only one core content, which is to avenge Brother Ono! It seems that an armed force has been formed to oppose the alliance government.
In this era where mankind has jumped into quantum technology, it is simply wishful thinking for such a group of people to challenge the large number of Force Awakeners who possess the most advanced technology and are at the forefront of evolution. It is conceivable that once they take action, with the little power they have in their hands, it is no different than committing suicide.
Only in this way does this emotion become even more precious.
Lao Li couldn't resist the feeling in his heart, and he couldn't show up to meet these people. He could only watch silently, enjoying the feeling of being remembered in his heart. When that punch was thrown, the former Xiaoye brother was already dead, and now only the cook Lao Li is alive.
According to the schedule agreed with Bai Wuxia, he should have left the city long ago, but at this moment, he is still staying here.
Some people are always unwilling to see each other face to face, and some people always feel that they are not interesting enough unless they are said in person.
At dusk, Lao Li strode into a bar. When I walked in, I saw that idiot sitting at the bar getting drunk. Gray messy hair, a beard that had not been taken care of for a long time, wrinkled clothes, and angry eyes in a decadent manner. Lao Li suddenly remembered that night in a small northeastern town many years ago. This old bastard is still the same as he is.
Lao Li walked over and sat down next to Wang Hongjun. With his current ability, it was not difficult for him not to let this guy recognize him.
"Two glasses of wine will kill the donkey," he said to the bartender in a hoarse voice.
"Sorry sir, we don't have this kind of wine." The bartender refused casually.
"Then let's have two glasses like him." Lao Li pointed to the wine glass in front of Wang Hongjun, pushed a few large bills over, and said: "No need to change, maybe we will have to add wine later, if there is any left, just take it as a gift It’s a tip for you.”
The bartender was overjoyed. He didn't expect this guy dressed like a tramp to be so generous. He quickly thanked Lao Li and poured him a drink.
Wang Hongjun tilted his head and glanced at Lao Li. Sure enough, he didn't recognize his old friend. He was already 70-80% drunk, and even if Lao Li didn't do anything, he wouldn't have recognized him.
"Hello, brother, do you mind if I sit next to you?" Lao Li took the initiative to nod his head in greeting.
"Friends from the Northeast?" Wang Hongjun made a judgment based on his accent, nodded and said, "We are all brothers from all over the world, let alone fellow villagers."
This guy still loves to make friends.
"Well, I'm from Coal City." Lao Li asked knowingly, "Brother, what about you?"
Wang Hongjun paused, glanced over with a cold look, looked at Lao Li carefully, and said, "What a coincidence, so do I."
"Oh, what a coincidence." Lao Li said happily.
Wang Hongjun suddenly looked around, withdrew his gaze, raised his glass and said: "Drink, don't say anything else, it's all in the wine."
"This wine is good, but it feels like there is something wrong with it." Lao Li picked up the cup and took a sip, and said: "Those scientists claim to be able to create anything, but they just can't create the human touch of the past. Everything has a coldness to it. Industrial synthetic taste.”
"It's good if you can handle drinking. What else do you need a bicycle?" Wang Hongjun casually threw away an old baggage from many years ago. He added: "During Prohibition a few years ago, shampoos with alcohol scent were not allowed to be sold. That was really impersonal."
"I need a small barbecue!" Lao Li ignored his words and said to himself: "It's boring to drink like this. Let's set up a barbecue frame with three or five friends, make some mutton skewers, and some chicken cartons, and finally Fortunately, in winter, you can put a few boxes of big green sticks in the snow and bake them at any time, and then you can enjoy the fun of drinking."
"Hehe, it's interesting. Listening to what you said, brother, you really came from that time." Wang Hongjun said: "But you said that these days will never come back. Now, it is illegal to barbecue outdoors. Private slaughter of animals is not allowed, and the mutton you can buy in vending machines looks like shit."
Lao Li said: "I remember when I was in Coal City, I would have a meal like this from time to time. It was really enjoyable."
Wang Hongjun was drunk and preferred to say a few more words. He shook his head and said, "It's fun, but there must be a good man who is willing to serve as a chef. He must be able to eat but not do anything. We have to fight."
"That's so right." Lao Li praised: "I remember when we were in Coal City, a buddy we played with was the best at making barbecue. He also liked to make it with his own hands, and the ones he made were very delicious. He grilled us while doing it. I would try my best to eat from the sidelines, and every time I would give him a full belly of cold beer without even taking a few bites.”
"Maybe you, my friend, are willing to drink and don't like eating meat so much?" Wang Hongjun looked at Lao Li with drunken eyes and said: "Hey, why do you look familiar to me? Did we take photos when we were in our hometown? noodle?"
"What you said makes sense. This buddy of mine has always been the most lively. As long as the brothers get together, he will hold the bottle of wine without risking his life. He doesn't care about what he eats." Lao Li said: "It was really fun at that time Haha, drinking makes me feel refreshed. I walk around on the street with my brothers on their backs. When they see a pretty girl, they say a few words. When they are scolded, they laugh and pass by. When they encounter injustice, they go to shovel it... . ”
"What you are talking about is moral. Most of them are really bastards. They are idiots who insist on chatting with other girls even if they don't want to." Wang Hongjun said: "Brother, I did this stupid thing back then. Later, I made a friend who was a real gangster and taught me a lesson, and then I realized that I was wrong. Even though I am younger than me, he is a real gangster who dares to kill someone. He can fight back. If you dare to do it, the most important thing is to be able to speak, be sharp-tongued, and have a sharp mind..." He suddenly became gloomy and fell silent.
"Dude, how is your buddy doing now?"
"What else can I do? I am so jealous of the genius that I have to die in a foreign country." Wang Hongjun drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then motioned to the bartender to add more wine, and said: "Damn it, this idiot can come and go freely, throw away his butt The brothers have to settle the matter for him!"
"If you die in a foreign country, does that mean you have died?" Lao Li said, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"Nanyang is dead. I don't even know where the body is now." Wang Hongjun drank more hastily, drank another glass, leaned on the table and stared at Lao Li with his head tilted, and said: "So as a human being, you must avoid him? Too much You're smart. My buddy is just too smart. The more powerful you are, the more powerful your enemies will be. If you're not careful, you'll be tricked to death." He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, these words are irrelevant to you. That's about it for today. "Goodbye, I'll treat you another day." He sat down and left.
"Have you ever thought about whether the brother you care about so much treats you as a brother just like you treat him?" Lao Li stood up and followed him.
In a small alley. Wang Hongjun suddenly stopped, turned around, glared at Lao Li, and said: "Get the hell away from me as far as you can. How dare you criticize my brother? Don't think that I don't know that you are a group of people." What kind of bastards! It's not enough for you to stare at me, and you're trying to trick me..."
"You idiot, think about it with your single-core brain, how many secrets are hidden in your head that are worth Huang Yonghao's wasting energy on you and sending people to trick you?" Lao Li grabbed him by the collar and held him up. Said: "Wang Hongjun, please listen to me clearly and live well. Except for your children, wife, and parents, no one in this world is worthy of your risking your life, especially the person you mentioned is not worthy!"
"Who are you?" Wang Hongjun forced himself to open his eyes, trying to see what Lao Li looked like clearly. Suddenly, he felt sick in his throat, and he suddenly sprayed on Lao Li. Then his head tilted and he passed away drunk.
Lao Li didn't dodge, but pulled him over. The moonlight was hazy, the autumn wind was rustling, and Lao Li was walking in the alley carrying a drunkard.
Suddenly there were snowflakes falling from the sky, first as small particles as fine as rice flakes, and soon turned into heavy snowflakes.
The whole world seemed to have frozen, the temperature continued to drop, and Wang Hongjun had stopped moving.
"If you freeze him to death, I will also die in front of you." Old Li said in a deep voice.
"He was just frozen. If he died unfortunately, it would be because of you." The woman's voice sounded like a phoenix from the sky: "As for you, you can die if you want. I'm quite curious. How can you kill yourself?"
"I didn't expect to see you here again." Lao Li looked up at the sky. This slim and graceful figure was hidden in the dim light curtain. She still looks the same. After many years, her style has not diminished at all.
"Remember what I said when we separated last time, as long as you dare to get involved with the old world, I will make you pay the price!"
"I haven't gotten to know him yet."
"So he still has a chance of survival now." Bai Wuxia said: "If you want him to survive, you must help me get that done first!"
"I just delayed it for a few days. You don't actually have to come here in person." Lao Li sighed and said, "It's rare that you need me. No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to do it for you."
"Hey!" Bai Wuxia chuckled softly and said, "Do you think I will believe you?" Then he said, "Now that the words have come to this, I don't have to hide it from you anymore. That matter is so difficult. It is extremely risky. I have worked hard for many years and dare not try it easily. But now, the time left for me to move to Baiyuntang is getting less and less. This matter must be resolved in a short time. Six of the Spring and Autumn Nine Cauldrons are there, and the master's sect is heavy. I must get it back with my own hands. Of course I can’t count on you for such an important matter..." (End of Chapter)
