Geng Zhi spread out his hands, showing an expression of "I'll just say it".
Lin Yuhe looked at Lu Nan subconsciously, and after a glance, he quickly looked away as if he had been burned.
The man actually had no expression on his face, and he didn't show anything when he heard this address, but Lin Yuhe felt a little headache.
... How could he still have such an outspoken experience.
Lin Yuhe was choked up by this title for a while, but Lu Nan, who had always been reticent, opened his mouth.
"I went to Baixi fifteen years ago, met you there, and left after staying for two years."
Calculating based on time, that was when Lin Yuhe was six to seven years old.
Lin Yuhe frowned: "Why do I have no impression?"
Geng Zhi said: "At that time you were still young, it's normal that you can't remember everything."
Lu Nan was ten years older than Lin and He, and was sixteen back then. Geng Zhi is the same age as Fang Musen, both are fourteen years old.
But six years old is already at the age of remembering things, there is no reason why I have no memory at all. Lin Yuhe was about to ask, but heard Lu Nan say.
"You have a fever."
Lin Yuhe was startled slightly.
Amid the slight hum of the plane, the man's voice was low and hoarse.
"When I left, you were in a coma with a high fever and were very ill."
Lin Yuhe suddenly remembered a serious illness he had when he was seven years old.
That winter was a rare cold winter in Sichuan for decades, and Baixi Town suffered from cold waves and frost damage one after another. But that winter was particularly short in Lin Yuhe's memory, because he had been sick and lethargic, and when he fully woke up, the river ice had already melted and it was already spring outside.
Lin Yuhe learned about the seriousness of that illness from other people's descriptions later on. He was already weak and sickly when he was young, and the winter was particularly difficult. That high fever and asthma attack almost killed him.
But Lin Yuhe himself doesn't remember much. He only remembered that he had slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he seemed to have lost something, and his most beloved pillow was gone.
Lin Yuhe recalled, trying hard to find some useful things from the past memories that had been buried for a long time, but they listened to Lu.
"I did it."
Lin Yuhe thought he heard it wrong: "...huh?"
However, Lu Nan said every word, and his articulation could not be more clear, making it impossible for people to mishear.
"I made you sick."
After a long time, Lin Yuhe recalled this conversation again, only to realize that Geng Zhi originally wanted to talk at this time.
But Lu Nan took the first step and told Lin Yuhe what happened.
He insisted on tearing off this scar with his own hands - if it were Geng Zhi who spoke, even if it was to blame or curse, Lu Nan would not have told Lin Yuhe that this matter was so profound and splashed dripping blood.
Lu Nan's voice sounded very calm, but every word was like a barbed knife, gouging out the flesh in his heart one by one.
He said: "Those people came for me, but they dragged you down. You soaked in the river for two hours, and you got sick when you got back."
Lin Yuhe was startled, and asked, "What about you?"
Lu Nan's fingers tightened, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
He was literally silent for a moment.
It seems that after thousands of calculations, Lin Yuhe's first reaction after hearing it would be, "What about you?"
The gushing blood slowed down the flow, the naked wound lost its pain, and the sick, out-of-control madness was suddenly sealed back into Pandora's ink cartridge. It was only these three short words that brought back the reason.
Lu Nan took a breath and said, "I'm fine, Uncle Liu took me away."
Liu Gaoyi, Taiping's second chairman.
Lin Yuhe was still asking: "Did your heart injury also be left at that time?"
Lu Nan shook his head: "No, it was before I arrived at Baixi."
"Because of the injury, I found a remote place to recuperate."
Geng Zhi said: "At that time, the wound on his chest was bloody, and it even scared you to tears."
Lin Yuhe pursed his lips.
No wonder when he saw the tattoo on Lu Nan's heart for the first time a few days ago, he felt that scar was inexplicably familiar.
But when he thought about it again, he couldn't recall any specific situation.
Lu Nan said: "Half a year ago, I learned that the Wu family wanted to marry someone. I was afraid that you would be hurt, so I approached the Wu family."
It all finally came together.
Lin Yuhe felt a little disappointed.
He has sorted out the whole process, but his heart is still empty and can't be filled. The missing memory did not allow him to gain much sense of reality, as if he was listening to someone else's story.
But in the final analysis, it was because Lin Yuhe had forgotten too many things after he had a high fever.
He still has a lot of doubts, but he seems to be unable to find anyone to answer them.
The answer lies in his own lost things.
The second half of the plane was a bit dull. Lin and He have been trying to remember, and the remaining two naturally have nothing to talk about, and the silence in the cabin lasted for a long time.
It wasn't until the plane was about to land that Lin Yuhe remembered that he hadn't introduced Shu to Lu Nan.
The sky was already bright, and the city outside the window was getting closer and gradually enlarged. Lin Yuhe opened his mouth to speak a few times, thinking that Lu Nan had stayed here for two years, and he didn't know what to say when he thought about the introduction he had prepared.
In the end, he could only say a few dry words to the scenery outside the window.
"Below is Dongcheng District. That river is the original river that surrounds the city. I don't know if you remember it... Now both sides of the river are urban areas, and the changes are quite big."
Lin Yuhe himself felt that he was talking nonsense, but he heard the man's low voice.
"I remember."
Lu Nan said, "I come every year."
Lin Yuhe: "...?"
Geng Zhi, who was listening to their conversation, said, "..."
Geng Zhi couldn't help but want to smoke again.
Before Lin Yuhe asked Lu Nan what he did every year, the sweet voice of the flight attendant sounded on the cabin radio, reminding them that the plane was about to land.
The private plane will land at the airport in Cangshan City, Sichuan Province. After getting off the plane, they will transfer to a car to Baixi Town.
Lin Yuhe was in poor health when he was a child, and he had been recuperating in Baixi Town. He didn't go to Cangshan City to study until he was eight years old. His mother, Zhu Yunyao, was also buried in the bamboo forest of Baixi Town.
After the plane landed, several people walked down the gangway. Lin Yuhe was looking for the airport shuttle bus, but saw a shuttle bus with no passengers driving directly in front of them.
Two middle-aged men got out of the car, and greeted them as soon as they saw them: "Boss Lu! It can be regarded as waiting for you to come, Boss Lu, welcome, welcome, Cangshan welcomes you!"
There was also a young man who got out of the car with a very neat demeanor. He walked up to Lu Nan in a few steps, bowed slightly, and said, "Director Lu, this is Deputy Secretary Liu of Cangshan, and this is Secretary Wang."
Deputy Liu warmly shook hands with Lu Nan, and then with Geng Zhi: "Mr. Xiao Geng is back too? Welcome."
Lin Yuhe looked on in a daze.
Geng Zhi's father is a well-known local entrepreneur. It is not surprising that Liu Fu would know Geng Zhi, but why is he so enthusiastic about Lu Nan
Before Lin Yuhe could figure it out, Deputy Secretary Liu walked towards him enthusiastically, wanting to shake hands with him, but before Deputy Liu could move, Lin Yuhe's eyes dimmed.
Lu Nan stood in front of him calmly, talked to Deputy Secretary Liu for a few words, and then proposed to leave by car.
"Yes, yes, to Madam's hometown, right? The car has been arranged, it's at the gate of the airport, and the three of you can be taken there directly!"
Deputy Secretary Liu said with a smile, and asked again.
"Hey, why didn't you see Madam?"
Lin Yuhe was stunned for two seconds before reacting.
This lady was referring to him!
Lin Yuhe was completely unprepared to be called Mrs. Lu suddenly, but luckily Lu Nan answered: "He's here first, we'll pick him up on the road later and go back together."
"Okay," Deputy Secretary Liu said repeatedly, "Then I won't waste a few minutes, you get in the car first."
The shuttle bus sent several people to the gate of the airport, and the arranged car was already waiting there. Deputy Liu personally sent the three of them to the car, and specially served a warm breakfast. After telling the driver to treat them well, they were reluctant to part sent them away.
The car is a seven-seater, and the space is very spacious. All three of them are sitting in the back row. Lin Yuhe has time to ask at this moment: "Who was that just now..."
"Liu Haitao, don't you know him?" Geng Zhi shook his leg, "The third leader in Cangshan."
Lin Yuhe was even more puzzled.
"Brother knows him?"
"I invested in an orchard in Cangshan," Lu said. "I contacted here two days ago when I went through the procedures for the private jet route. They knew the news and arranged for someone to pick it up."
Lin Yuhe didn't realize the meaning of "orchard" at first, and he was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly remembering: "Cangshan Sydney Garden?!"
Lu Nan opened the breakfast box delivered by Deputy Liu, and said, "Yes."
Lin Yuhe was shocked. Cangshan Mountain is known as the hometown of Sydney, and the Sydney orchard covers an area of two thousand acres.
"Isn't that public?"
Compared to Lin Yuhe's surprise, Lu Nan's reaction was much calmer, and he took out a cup of soy milk from the breakfast box, inserted the tube and handed it to Lin Yuhe.
"Cooperative development."
Lin Yuhe took the soy milk, still a little dazed.
Geng Zhi said: "The public will make the most of it, and private investors can also participate in the investment. Moreover, there are related processing lines such as fruit juice and canned food, which are all done by enterprises."
Lin Yuhe looked up at him.
Geng Zhi has already started smoking e-cigarettes: "Don't look at me."
He pointed at Lu Nan with his thumb: "Boss Lu has already covered it."
Lin Yuhe: "..."
He thought of something again: "That Sydney juice factory in Baixi..."
Baixi Township was originally a national-level poverty-stricken township, located in a remote area with backward development. It wasn't until a few years ago that a beverage company attracted investment and built a new large-scale fruit juice processing plant, and the economy gradually improved. In the past two years, Baixi has started to apply to exit the poverty-stricken village.
Lin Yuhe will come back during the Chinese New Year in recent years, so he knows how much this juice factory has changed Baixi, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has turned the world upside down.
Lu Nan nodded, without elaborating, he unfolded a napkin and spread it on Lin Yuhe's lap.
He handed another omelette to Lin Yuhe.
"Eat some."
Although there was breakfast on the plane, Lin Yuhe didn't move. Now it will take two hours to drive all the way there, and Lu Nan started the supervision work again.
Geng Zhi was sitting on the side, really didn't really want to see the two of them.
Lin Yuhe was stared at and finished his breakfast, but he didn't know what to eat. His emotions were too complicated to express for a while.
After eating, Lu said, "Close your eyes and rest for a while."
Lin Yuhe looked up at him, his forehead hair was poked by the man who stretched out his hand.
"It's easy to get motion sickness when you're full."
Lin Yuhe didn't want to sleep at first, he still had a lot of questions that he didn't think clearly. But when he closed his eyes and smelled the familiar ebony fragrance beside him, he really fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up, the roadside scenery had become very familiar.
Baixi Town is almost here.
The temperature in Shu is much higher than that in Yancheng, even in winter, it will not be too cold. Lin Yuhe opened the car window and looked out.
This is familiar, the place where he was born and raised.
Near Baixi Town, after getting off the expressway, the road is no longer so spacious, and the speed of the car has dropped. Lin Yuhe looked out the window for a while, feeling a little strange.
Why are there so few people on the road today, and how many cars have not been seen in total
Lin Yuhe asked Geng Zhi, "Is it a festival today? Or a market?"
Geng Zhi didn't know too well, he moved to Cangshan City very early and didn't live much time in Baixi Town.
Lin Yuhe was a little worried: "Couldn't some event block the road?"
He asked the driver, who was not a local and said he didn't know.
Seeing no clue, Lin Yuhe wanted to ask someone. He looked out the window, and it didn't take long before he saw an acquaintance among the people riding bicycles on the side of the road.
"Uncle Li!"
Uncle Li also saw him, and greeted him warmly: "Yo, Yaoning is back!"
The car slowed down in unison.
Lin Yuhe lay by the window and asked in dialect: "Uncle Li, why are there so few people on the road? Is the intersection ahead closed again?"
"No, no," Uncle Li said, "If you can pass it, there is an event ahead. Mr. Zhao is guarding over there, and he recognizes you. Just tell him and your family can go there."
Lin Yuhe was relieved, and after saying goodbye to Uncle Li, he translated the conversation just now to Lu Nan and the driver.
The car drove to the main intersection into the town, and a group of people gathered in front of the stone sign engraved with the words "Baixi Town".
There are not many people in a small place, and it is convenient to gather together. Baixi Town is also a place where the Han nationality and the minority nationality live together. There are many activities of various ethnic groups on weekdays. This kind of scene is not uncommon.
For the sake of safety, and also because I didn't want to disturb the activity, the car stopped a dozen meters away from the crowd.
Lin Yuhe was about to get out of the car, and went to discuss with someone to make way for the car, but as soon as he got off with one foot, he was stopped by the vigilant Lu Nan: "Be careful."
Lin Yuhe was puzzled, and when he looked up, he saw the crowd gathered not far away suddenly rushing up.
There was a deafening sound on both sides of the road.
"Bang! Bang!"
It turned out to be a shot.
Lin Yuhe was taken aback.
Half of the residents of Baixi Town are Yi people, and firing guns is the highest etiquette for them to welcome guests. Lin and He only met each other a few times when they were very young.
After the guns were fired, music was played. Before Lin Yuhe could recover, the crowd had already gathered beside the car. Several Yi girls in costumes came forward. The first two held two silver plates in their hands. There are full wine bowls.
There is one gold and one silver wine bowl, with "Respect Boss" written on the front of the gold bowl, and "Respect Boss Wife" written on the front of the silver bowl.
Several girls turned up their voices and began to lead the crowd in unison to the music.
"Welcome the boss and the boss lady!"
Lin Yuhe was stunned.
The enthusiastic crowd recognized him and were stunned.
"Yao Ning?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
A suspicious voice came from the crowd: "Yes, did you pick up the wrong person?"
"No, it's the license plate..."
Everyone was at a loss, but only one person made a move.
The man following Lin Yuhe took a step forward and glanced at the leading Yi girls.
Then he directly reached out and took the wine bowl that said "Respect the Boss Wife".
