Mei Qian arrived at the agreed-upon tavern and saw Zhang Yu standing at the door from a distance. To his surprise, Zhang Yu, who had been living abroad for more than three months, was not tanned as expected.
At first glance, I see that I am much whiter and fatter!
When he got closer, he couldn't help but feel happy: "I know you miss home after being away on business for three months, so you should take it easy!"
Zhang Yu ignored him and walked back to the tavern first, but he put down the hand he had been holding on his waist.
It's a pity that Mei Qian will not let him go easily and continues to tease: "My daughter has just been born, and you are eager to have a second child. Is your sister-in-law happy?"
"Get out! I'm injured." After cursing, Zhang Yu looked at him helplessly, then sighed and added: "I was treated for a month and a half, and I was just discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday."
"Are you injured again?" Mei Qian was stunned. You should know that they can still talk on the phone occasionally. The most recent time was half a month ago. They were laughing and joking. They didn't hear any news about the other party's injury. They kept it secret.
.
But having said that, why does Zhang Yu always get hurt? How many times has it been since we met?
And this time it was even more exaggerated. I was on a business trip for three months and was hospitalized for half of the time.
It can only be said that the police is really a high-risk profession, at least for Zhang Yu. His luck is so bad that it is not easy to survive until now.
I couldn't help but feel pity, and my previous thought of using the system warehouse to convince the other party was gone.
After entering the private room and ordering food, Mei Qian initially objected to asking for wine, but Zhang Yu repeatedly insisted that he had fully recovered and was just craving for this meal, so he relented.
While the food was being served, the two started chatting.
Mei Qian first talked about his experiences in the past few months, but he didn't say a few words. When he looked at Zhang Yu's expression across from him, he knew in his heart that the other party must be fully aware of what he had encountered and his movements.
So I poured myself a cup of tea and drank it slowly without wasting my breath.
Zhang Yu guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't hide it. He just smiled and casually told what happened to him.
However, he did not mention any sensitive topics. He said that many people were secretly arrested during this trip abroad. The final arrest operation went smoothly and no one died. Only he was unlucky enough to be shot in the back. Others were not mentioned.
Ken said one more word.
"How about drinking with you policemen?" Mei Qian curled his lips. In fact, he also knew that it was almost impossible to get information from a disciplined person like Zhang Yu.
It happened that the waiter started to serve the dishes one after another, and the two of them changed the topic in a tacit understanding.
As a loyal reader, Zhang Yu is also chasing Mei Qian's new book, so he can't help but complain. He said that Mei Qian is getting more and more out of control, taking advantage of the popularity of the Iron Face Buddha, copying his own novels, and even bothering to name the protagonist.
Mei Qian sneered and did not explain.
When the beer was served, Zhang Yu took the initiative to pour wine for Mei Qian.
Mei Qian couldn't help but frown again.
It's not clear whether Zhang Yu's waist can be used, but judging from his awkward movements, there are probably other injuries, and he obviously didn't move well.
He immediately grabbed the wine bottle and reached out to cover the other person's wine glass.
"Let's drink water today!" he said in an emphatic tone.
"Don't worry, I know it well." Zhang Yu waved his hands, then showed a wry smile on his face, and lowered his voice a bit: "If you can come back alive this time, I must give you a toast."
The words were unclear, but there were some things that didn't need to be stated clearly. Mei Qian understood it all at once.
You must know that he had given Zhang Yu two Great Return Pills, and the latter's physical fitness was already far from ordinary. He still suffered such a serious injury and had not fully recovered after being recuperated for so long. You can imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.
.
Fortunately, I have the Great Return Pill, otherwise...
He hesitated, took back his hand and sighed: "Okay, just drink less and calm down the shock."
Zhang Yu nodded, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
After finishing the glass of wine and seeing Zhang Yu holding the bottle again, Mei Qian wanted to stop him. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, his cell phone rang from the other side.
While Zhang Yu was answering the phone, Mei Qian quickly poured the mineral water into a new cup and put the wine bottle and the other person's wine glass aside.
Zhang Yu wanted to stop him, but he was helplessly listening to the chatter on the phone. Mei Qian moved so quickly that he could only stare.
"My surname is Zhang, you are brave enough to go fool around right after you are discharged from the hospital. Are you drinking with some bad friend?"
"No, I just came out for a meal." Zhang Yu's eyelids twitched and he defended in a low voice.
Others don't know, but he knows that someone has good ears. At a glance, Mei Qian seems to be eating the food seriously, but the slightly raised lips already indicate that the other person is snickering.
"I don't know about you yet? You don't want your own kidney, right? That's fine. Anyway, you're not home all day long, so there's no use saving your kidney. I'll be treated as a widow..."
Zhang Yu stood up with a start, held the phone in his hands and trotted out, fearing that some bad words would pop up inside.
It's a pity that his conversation with his wife has been completely overheard by a certain friend.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yu to come back. When he saw Mei Qian's half-smiling expression, his face twitched and he coughed twice before saying: "It's okay, let's continue eating, she can't control me..."
The words were strong, but the half-filled bottle of beer was not touched again...
If you don’t drink at the dinner party, it will end quickly.
They started eating in the evening, and when they came out of the tavern, it wasn't even dark yet.
Zhang Yu waved his hand to stop the car, opened the door, and grabbed Mei Qian's shoulders, whispering in his ear: "You must be careful when you go home..."
After that, he took the car and left.
Mei Qian kept watching the taxi out of sight with a calm expression. After turning around, he frowned slightly...
--------------------------
It was also a dinner party, but it was much more lively at Li Chen's place thousands of miles away.
And the mode is unique. Before it gets dark, several bonfires are lit in the open space. A group of people, regardless of age or occupation, all gather around the bonfire, enjoying the smell of food, laughing and drinking, and the atmosphere is really good.
Compared to the others, Li Chen, who was among them, was much more depressed.
It's not that I was left out. In fact, the local police station took very good care of this colleague who came from afar. They even arranged for a young police officer to accompany him for drinks before the banquet started.
But Li Chen just couldn't be happy. Coincidentally, there were many people in this state at dinner parties.
Some are experts and professors from the Archaeological Bureau, and some are police officers responsible for emergency rescue. The most conspicuous one is the criminal police captain who has been presiding over the work. His face is black the whole time.
However, their joys and sorrows are different.
In fact, this mixed team has been divided since the discovery of the robbery cave leading to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
If there is disagreement, everyone will not be satisfied.
Some people are happy now because they will leave this inconvenient hellish place at dawn tomorrow.
Yes, after signing a series of confidentiality orders, some people can go home smoothly.
Some people are happy, while others are naturally disappointed. For example, some archaeological experts and assistants are extremely reluctant to leave. They wish they could put down roots here and drink wine. Some young people actually cried as if no one else was watching.
Captain Yan must have been depressed from the beginning to now. There were eight or nine missing tomb robbers, but only one body was found. However, there were too many officials present, and they all overwhelmed him, resulting in his proposal not being passed at all.
, and was criticized for being too radical.
It's even better now. With the arrival of a certain department, the police no longer have any initiative.
The same was true for Li Chen. At first he thought it was boring here and always missed home. But every time he thought about being able to personally participate in this great discovery that would have great implications for the archaeological community and even the entire Xia Kingdom, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Although Fatty Yin's death has revealed many things, he knows that if he continues to participate, he may face danger.
But Li Chen felt that he had been working for more than four years and was considered an old police officer. What was the danger?
Moreover, I always watch people quarreling, and I have made some friends in the archaeological field. I have nothing to chat with, so it doesn't feel boring anymore.
Helpless, with a phone call from above, he had to pack up and go home.
What a pity, because he was not allowed to participate in the later meetings, and I still don’t know what the attitude of the superiors towards the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum is, whether to continue to excavate it or to bury it...
