Song Liyun suddenly mentioned in his heart that Baolinju was only on this road to the town. He came all the way and saw nothing unusual. Could it be that Song Zhenping was still in the town.
Song Zhenping is not sociable. In addition to working at home, he only goes to Boss Mu to buy and sell things and does not go anywhere else.
It seems that I still need to search carefully in the town.
The population of Suijin Town is small, and the area inhabited is not large. There are only a few streets and alleys. You only need to call each household and you will always find it.
Saying goodbye to Boss Mu, Song Liyun hurriedly walked to the streets of the town.
Several new shops have opened here. Because of the cold weather, the doors are half-opened and thick straw curtains are hung.
what to do?
Are they breaking in one by one to look for it?
Song Liyun was about to walk to the first house when a man's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Is the girl's surname Song?"
Song Liyun turned around and saw one of the two sergeants he met in Boss Mu's shop.
He looked strange and didn't recognize him. He was holding a knife in one hand and putting his other hand on his waist in a coquettish pose.
The other sergeant fell behind, slightly lowering his head to cover his face.
When Song Liyun saw this person taking the initiative to ask, he nodded and said, "Is there something wrong with this brother?"
When the sergeant heard Song Liyun calling him brother, he felt very cordial and grinned: "Miss Song, your brother is in town and hasn't come home."
Seeing that he knew where Song Zhenping was, Song Liyun was overjoyed: "What do you call me brother? Can you tell me where my brother is?"
"Haha, my surname is Wang and my name is Wang Qi. Miss Song, don't worry, Brother Song is drinking at Brother Xue's house right now!"
"Brother Xue? Are you talking about Xue Zhuang?"
A face flashed in Song Liyun's mind. He had no friendship with Xue Zhuang.
Even if he had it, it was destroyed when he talked nonsense to others.
"Exactly, Brother Xue is a generous and righteous man. I think he is also very polite to Brother Song."
Unexpectedly, Sergeant Wang also talked a lot, but his face turned red when he spoke.
When Song Liyun heard that she was really at Xue Zhuang's house, she felt even more weird. She smiled gratefully at Wang Qi who reported the news to her: "Thank you, Brother Wang. I'll go pick up my brother right away."
As she spoke, she ran away as fast as the wind.
Wang Qi yelled and chased a few steps, watching Song Liyun's back disappear around the corner, then turned back to the other sergeant standing sideways and said: "Old Fang, don't you know Miss Song? Why are you hiding?
Are you more afraid of meeting people than Miss Song?"
When the sergeant saw Song Liyun leaving, he turned around and said, "Oh, stop talking. It's all my fault that I drank a few more sips at Brother Xue's banquet and caused trouble. I'm afraid that Miss Song will recognize me and scold me."
At Xue Zhuang's banquet that day, it was this old man who got drunk and said something about Song Liyun in front of Song Zhenping. This was a deliberate attempt to ruin the girl's reputation. If the Song brothers and sisters complained to the guard, he would be punished.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was later on giving the gift money, so no one talked about it again.
Now that he saw Song Liyun as the rightful owner, he was still afraid of being pointed at and scolded.
Wang Qi perked up as soon as he heard this, grabbed Lao Fang and said, "Brother, why haven't I heard you say this? Tell me quickly, why did Miss Song scold you?"
Lao Fang couldn't avoid this matter, and hurriedly looked around and said to him: "It's winter and there is less time to do exercises, but we have been out for so long, so we should go back as soon as possible!
Since Brother Xue left and Zhou Xiaoqi was transferred to the first team, it has not been so convenient for the brothers to come out."
Wang Qi obviously thought of this, and glanced in the direction of Song Liyun reluctantly, and then walked to the guardhouse. As he walked, he muttered: "Miss Song hasn't married anyone yet, has she? Her family is a military household..."
"
Lao Fang changed the topic and did not want to mention this matter again.
As the two walked away, the chirping sounds gradually disappeared in the wind.
On the other side, Song Liyun knew about Xue Zhuang's courtyard, so he got there in a few twists and turns.
Because Mrs. Cui was running a food stall at home, the courtyard door was not closed.
Before entering the courtyard, Song Liyun heard the commotion inside.
It seems that Mrs. Cui's business is good.
Song Liyun had seen Xue Zhuang's courtyard before. It had three main rooms and two side rooms.
It was cold now, and curtains were hung on the doors of several rooms. Along with the noise, a strong smell of alcohol came out of the main room, but she did not hear Song Zhenping's voice.
Song Liyun's eyes flashed, and she walked to the door of the main room nearest to her, waving her hand to open the curtain.
It was very lively inside at this time. Amidst the billowing smoke, seven or eight men were smoking pipes and gathering together to push Pai Gow.
These people all seemed to be from the town. The gambling was at a critical moment, and no one even noticed Song Liyun's actions.
Seeing that Song Zhenping was not there, Song Liyun walked towards the second main room, her mood getting heavier and heavier.
Xue Zhuang's courtyard is not only a food stall, but also a card stall and a gambling stall. It is too tempting for Song Zhenping, a young man who has only been in the countryside for a few days.
She was afraid of seeing Song Zhenping twisting dice.
Fortunately, she didn't have to worry for long, as Song Liyun found someone in the second room.
There was a Kang table set up on the Kang in the main room, and Xue Zhuang and he were drinking.
The table was full of messes, a kang was burning in the room, and the smell of alcohol made the air feel heavy and suffocating.
Song Zhenping's face was red from drinking, his clothes were unbuttoned, and he was leaning against the wall with his arms wide open, looking drunk and confused.
Xue Zhuang also drank wine, wearing only a jacket, and was toasting with Song Zhenping: "Brother Song, come here, have another sip.
Your hometown is Qingping Town, and my hometown is Tangshan Town. I never dreamed that we would meet in Suijin Town.
Getting together is fate, and we will become brothers from now on.
Come on, bring the cup quickly, you are not a fish farmer.
A manly man cannot give up after just two drinks, he must drink at least three drinks."
Song Liyun heard such words as soon as he walked in, and his brows suddenly jumped. Xue Zhuang actually knew about Qingping Town. How much did Song Zhenping say?
Also, was the wine's persuasion too harsh? Song Zhenping had no power to resist.
Sure enough, the red-faced Song Zhenping was speechless. She was dizzy and wanted to pick up the cup again... Song Liyun threw the curtain in her hand heavily.
The curtain head hit the door frame, making a crisp sound.
Hearing the sound, Xue Zhuang turned around suddenly. When he saw Song Liyun coming in, his face suddenly stiffened, and then he laughed: "Ah! Miss Song is here, please sit down."
Song Zhenping's hand holding the wine suddenly stopped.
Song Liyun had a sullen face, did not sit on the edge of the Kang, stretched out his hand to pick up the glass of wine, and said to Xue Zhuang: "Why didn't I know when my brother and you had such a good relationship.
We haven't seen each other for just two hours, but we call each other brothers and sisters, and we're still drunk and won't come back."
Xue Zhuang laughed and laughed: "Look what you said, our two families are both military households. We are already weak in this Broken Gold Town, so naturally we need to get closer and closer."
Song Zhenping was feeling dizzy, and when he suddenly heard his sister's voice, he was so shocked that he woke up from the wine.
He crawled to the edge of the kang and said, "Yun'er, I don't drink. It was Brother Xue who said... I will never drink again!"
