Counting it, he hadn't been back to Hengjie for a long time.
At that time, the days when a group of boys were chasing and jostling at the entrance of San Hutong were indeed the happiest and happiest.
When Lin Luxiao was born, his father was only the deputy section chief of the fire department, and his family was well off. But after giving birth to Lin Qi, the mother happened to be unemployed and laid off, and the family conditions were much tighter. In his memory, although life was tight at that time, at least it was really happy. Later, my father was transferred to work, and life became better and better. He had more worries, but he was not as happy as before.
Before the college entrance examination, a group of them stood at the base of the wall smoking and chatting.
Da Liu wanted to follow Lin Luxiao to go to the military academy, but he didn't have enough marks. Lin Luxiao suggested that he listen to his family's advice and study a business subject to take the civil service exam. Say, "I just want to be with you!"
Lin Luxiao still feels a chill in his heart when he thinks about Liu's appearance at that time.
Sun Mingyang and Shen Mu also mocked that Liu was absolutely crooked.
Unexpectedly, Da Liu said: "Blind Li said, I don't know people, I've been miserable all my life, I don't know others, but following Master Xiao is definitely right."
"Cooperating with us is just a decoration?"
When Sun Mingyang and Shen Mu heard this, they wanted to break up with Da Liu.
The fortune teller at the entrance of the alley is surnamed Li, but no one knows his name until now. After a long time, he got acquainted with the people here, and everyone called him Blind Li directly, but he didn't mind at all.
Blind Li gave each of the four of them a sentence.
Li Mingyang's is,
—A man does not flick his tears lightly, and a man has no home to return his blood.
Blind Li gave Shen Mu a Buddhist scripture,
— Only when all living beings are exhausted can they prove Bodhi.
When Blind Li looked at Lin Luxiao, he waved his hand and rejected him: "Don't give it to me, I don't believe it."
At that time, Blind Li just shook his head and smiled, he really didn't say anything.
When he finished his exams and left to go to the military academy, the two met again at the entrance of the alley, and it was rare for Blind Li to take the initiative to stop him.
Lin Luxiao was quite surprised, he didn't expect to recognize all of them, he waved his hand in front of him, Li Blind opened his hand and said, "Don't wave it, I don't even have any skills at all. Let go."
Lin Luxiao was dressed in black at the time, simple and clean, with a black mountaineering bag on his back. He thought this was interesting, so he leaned on the wall at the entrance of the alley and chatted with him.
"How did you hear that?"
"I told you, what am I doing?"
Lin Luxiao lowered his head and smiled.
But Blind Li finally spoke up.
"Wind, footsteps, breath, you are different from those three children, your breath is more steady, your footsteps are heavy, Da Liu will pant heavily, and you will smell bad."
Even if this kind of thing is said, it can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.
Lin Luxiao nodded, but said nothing.
Blind Li said, "Big Liu came to see me when he left, and asked me what I meant by that sentence."
Lin Luxiao folded his arms and pushed the mountaineering bag against the wall, stepped on the wall with one foot bent, and curled the corner of his lower lip, "He is timid, what you said frightened him a lot."
"You really don't want to hear that?"
Lin Luxiao looked at him: "You tell me."
Blind Li didn't want to say too much, so he only said those two sentences back and forth.
"You are a child with pride, blood, and toughness in your bones. You will definitely be a hero in the future."
"It's just that since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass."
Lin Luxiao, "Are you finished?"
"Just remember what I said! It won't hurt you!"
Lin Luxiao stood up straight, restrained his idle energy, the corners of his mouth no longer smiled, and his voice became heavy: "Since you are so accurate, have you calculated why my parents divorced?"
Blind Li didn't speak any more.
That should be the last time they met. When Lin Luxiao went back, he heard that Blind Li had left, and no one knew where he had gone.
…
The hour hand pointed to past eleven o'clock.
Da Liu glanced at Lin Luxiao on the sofa, made a look at Sun Mingyang and Shen Mu, and asked Lin Luxiao's opinion hesitantly: "Why don't we get here first?"
Lin Luxiao nodded slightly with a cigarette in his mouth.
Da Liu pulled the other two to stand up, said goodbye to Nan Chu, with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law! It's a pleasure to meet you today, come to play often when you have time, why don't you leave a number?"
Then he took out his phone.
Opened by Lin Luxiao's palm, "Get lost."
Big Liu said awkwardly, "Okay, get out of here."
The three of them left, and the house was in a mess, bottles and cans were upside down, and cigarette butts were thrown all over the floor.
Lin Luxiao came back after seeing Liu and the others off, and leaned against the wall of the entrance with folded arms and asked her, "Send you home?"
Nan Chu didn't blink, and kindly suggested: "How about I sleep at your house? You don't have to see me off, I will get up tomorrow morning and go by myself."
It was late at night, the lights in the living room had been turned off, and only a wall lamp in the entrance was on. It was dim yellow and the light was warm. Lin Luxiao leaned against the wall, as if it had been plated with a layer of gold. Later, Nan Chu often thought of that Late his reaction.
Lin Luxiao licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue then lowered his head and smiled.
Nan Chu thinks he is really handsome, different from the usual handsome, probably just masculine.
"Let's go."
Laughing for a while, he said.
Lin Luxiao took the car keys to pick up the car, and then threw her a black coat. It was very clean, as if it had just been taken out of the wardrobe. Nan Chu took a closer look, and it should be his spring coat.
"Put it on first."
Nan Chu put it on, and looked down at herself. She wore a low-cut long skirt and a men's casual black jacket. It was wide and big. It just covered the bottom of her thighs, and she actually had an inexplicable desire to be protected. Have fun.
"Does it look good?" She asked Lin Luxiao.
Lin Luxiao opened the car door, looked back at her, and quickly looked away, got into the car: "The purpose of wearing clothes is to look good?"
Nan Chu walked around the front of the car, opened the co-pilot's door, got in and sat down, and said, "It doesn't look good, I'd rather not wear it."
"..."
"I look better without it."
"..."
Too lazy to talk to her again, "Where do you live?"
"Starlight."
Lin Luxiao was relatively silent while driving and didn't talk much. Just like before, he was used to holding the steering wheel with one hand while waiting for traffic lights, and resting one hand on the edge of the window to watch the night view.
The car quickly stopped downstairs.
Nan Chu returned the coat to him before getting out of the car, and Lin Luxiao took it and threw it on the back seat, leaning on it and waiting for her to get out of the car.
Standing outside the car, Nan Chu leaned against the window and said to him, "We will have dinner together in a week, and I will come to you, or you can call me."
As soon as she bends down, there is a view to see, and it's not completely missing, just the kind of energy that seems to be there, which is very attractive.
Lin Luxiao leaned on the seat, put one hand on the window sill, and looked at her leisurely. When he was not speaking, his brows were slightly frowned, very serious, and his thoughts were hard to guess. After a while, he took a cigarette from the storage box in the middle, lit it, threw the lighter back into the box, and asked lightly, "What do you want from me?"
But it was this energy that made Nan Chu unable to do anything.
In the middle of the night, the trees were silent, and the girl's eyes were shining brighter than the moonlight, so she asked him, "What do you think I can take from you?"
Lin Luxiao sneered, took half a puff of the cigarette and let it out, stretched his hand out the window, squinted his eyes, dusted off the cigarette ash, and said sarcastically: "That's right, do you want anything, didn't you walk away in a cool way when you dumped my pile of money?" ?"
"Did you spend that money?"
"The flowers are already clean."
"Where did it all go?"
In fact, when Nan Chu gave him the money, he felt very upset, and the little girl got angry when she mentioned it, so she wanted to throw the money away, but how could he throw it away as soon as he became a soldier? Chairman Mao threw it away, walked two steps, felt it was wrong, turned back to pick it up, and asked Da Liu to contact a welfare home to donate it the next day.
Anyway, you can't keep it.
"What do you care?" Lin Luxiao said bluntly, "Don't come to me anymore. I will take in anyone who happened back then. Anyway, I live in the team, and my house is empty. Renting it out also added an income out of thin air.”
Nan Chu looked at him quietly, his eyes flowing, "You went home three times."
Lin Luxiao started the car, "I didn't get used to it, I forgot there was someone else at home."
"You forgot the first time, and you forgot the second time? What about the third time?"
"... Pooh, you don't think I have any thoughts about you little girl, do you?"
Nan Chu shrugged, with a look on my face, how do I know what you think in your heart.
"..." There is no way to talk.
After a while of silence, Lin Luxiao decided not to pester her anymore, and rushed her upstairs.
"What time is it, hurry up."
"Dining together after that week?" Nan Chu still didn't forget about it.
Lin Luxiao took a deep look at her, and found that this girl was really persistent, so he said flickeringly: "It may not be fake, let's talk about it when the time comes."
Nan Chu looked as if she wouldn't go up if she didn't agree.
Lin Luxiao frowned, and said impatiently, "Okay, okay."
"Give me the phone." Nan Chu stretched out his hand.
"Is it over?"
"Where can I find you if you run away like last time?"
Lin Luxiao glanced at her, took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and threw it to her. Nan Chu took it firmly, made a call on his own cell phone, and returned it to him after confirming the connection. He smiled and waved at him contentedly. He waved his hand and said softly, "Captain Lin, good night!"
Lin Luxiao was leaning on the back of the chair, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and holding a cigarette in the other hand, hanging outside the window, half of the ashes were burned, and there were wisps of green smoke from the cigarette end, and the night wind blew, and half of the ash was blown off , was torn into pieces by the wind and scattered in the dust.
He looked at Nan Chu's back.
Licking the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, he hummed softly.
