Chapter 701: Close to the bright moon in my hometown
Chapter 701: Closely clinging to the bright moon in my hometown
This city where Zhihao and Rouyu once lived was the end point for Zhihao and Rouyu's return eastward. Now, they finally returned to this city.
When it comes to the word "finally", it is a bit far-fetched. If Zhihao and Rouyu had worked hard from dawn to dusk, they would have returned to this city two days ago. They were not in a hurry, they were not anxious at all, they were quite relaxed.
It's like I'm having a pleasant trip here, and I'm on my honeymoon at the same time.
But when approaching here, Rouyu still showed uneasiness, and the uneasiness was not because she felt danger was approaching.
Returning for revenge is a dangerous thing in itself, and the danger is not to mention. With Zhihao by her side, Rouyu will certainly not take the danger to heart. Rouyu is uneasy because she will face all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. The future
What will the road be like?
No bottom, not even Zhihao, but Zhihao is much calmer than Rouyu, otherwise, why would you want a man by your side at the critical moment? It is a backer and a tranquilizer.
This day happened to be the Lantern Festival. I don’t know whether it was the accurate time or a coincidence of stopping and going. It happened to be in the afternoon, when the sun was in the west, when the black Audi was heading east on the highway outside the city. Zhihao turned the speed
slow down.
The dusty weather of the previous two days has long passed, perhaps because she has traveled thousands of miles away and left the dusty weather behind. Here, the wind is calm, and Rouyu can see the treetops on both sides of the highway, although there is no trace of green.
, but motionless, like waiting quietly in the early spring, quietly waiting for the coming of spring?
There is no wind, which does not mean it is sunny. It has been overcast since the morning. After walking hundreds of kilometers, it is still cloudy. The sun only occasionally reflects a little yellowish light in the thin clouds, and then hides again.
, does not affect visibility, but is by no means bright enough to make people feel cheerful.
Zhihao gently shook Rouyu's hand and said, "Yu'er, relax, it's nothing, I'm by your side?"
Rou Yu nodded, feeling much calmer, and said in a low voice, "Yu'er is not nervous, but she is a little inexplicably excited and hopeful. No matter what, we are back."
"We're back, we're finally back." Zhihao nodded, and his calm tone slowly revealed a firmness. Inadvertently, Rouyu felt the murderous look on Zhihao's face, "If you return safely, you can't
Let this place be safe!”
The last service area.
In the past, from this service area, you could get off the expressway not far away. When you got off the expressway, the city was right in front of you.
Rouyu whispered, "Go into the service area and rest for a while, okay?"
Zhihao nodded, slowed down, and turned right.
Snowflakes are falling in pieces, maybe this is the last snow of the New Year. The colorful lanterns are hung high in the city, and the snowflakes are flying, echoing the folk custom, "Snow lights up the Lantern Festival."
Perhaps, a year ago, during a similar trip like this, Rouyu should have urged Zhihao to hurry up so that he could rush back to the city to watch the light show and fireworks? Rouyu stood quietly beside the car with a calm face, looking into the distance.
A familiar yet unfamiliar city, it has its own joys, its own sorrows, and new hopes.
Zhihao stood next to Rouyu, silent, looking into the distance, his eyes slowly falling back to Rouyu. The dark clothes lacked bright youthful vitality, but they had a different kind of beauty, charming in silence, and simple in simplicity.
of charming.
Zhihao gently held Rouyu in his arms. The snow seemed to be getting bigger. The fine snow powder gradually turned into snowflakes. There was no wind and no flying. It only fell lightly and floated gently on the ground.
, and slowly melted away.
Perhaps, this kind of snow can accumulate on the ground in a light night.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Rouyu whispered, "Let's go."
Zhihao looked a little firmer when he saw Rouyu's weak face.
When they entered the city, it was already dark. Zhihao drove slowly and steadily, gently shook Rou Yu's hand, and said comfortingly again, "Yu'er, just think of coming back for your honeymoon."
Rouyu nodded.
Zhihao knows that the so-called gangs now are completely different from those a hundred years ago.
At that time, gangs must have huge power to survive in troubled times, with many brothers, and they decided everything by force. Strict gang rules, separate boundaries, and constant fighting. The police could not do anything to them, or they were simply a family of cops and robbers.
Today's gangs are completely different. They are based on industry and are completely hidden underground forces, either family-based or entity-based. They only appear when force is needed to solve problems, and they do not dare to do it openly. Fighting with weapons is also limited to local areas.
The only scary thing is that they collude with government officials and infiltrate into every aspect. They do whatever they want to make money. Whenever they encounter any trouble, they hide it among the public, no different from ordinary residents, or they run away and walk away.
After all, this is a time of governance, not chaos. Even if you pass through their territory, what's so scary? If the division of power is really as strict as in the past, then before the Qinglong Society is destroyed, Zhihao can only lead Rouyu in
There is activity in the Qinglong Society's territory, so don't dare to take even a step forward.
The familiar city, even the plants and trees on the street, looked so friendly. If he hadn't come back in such a mood, Zhihao would have really wanted to stop the car and take Rouyu for a walk on the street.
Colored lanterns have been hung up on both sides of the street. The colorful lanterns in the square have already been brightly lit. The festival is festive, but the joy does not belong to Zhihao and Rouyu. Although the street is already bustling with cars and cars.
, the walking path was filled with happy people.
Rouyu, without looking to either side, stared straight ahead, Zhihao whispered, "Let's find a place to live first."
Zhihao found a remote hotel on the outskirts of the city and parked his car in the courtyard. This was not the property of the ### gang, and it should not be the territory of the ### gang.
There was a slight irritation because of the suitcase along the way. When going upstairs, Rouyu asked Zhihao in a low voice, "Can you carry the suitcase to the room?"
"No, it's safer to put it in the car. It has an anti-theft alarm." Zhihao said softly, "Just bring the small bag with you."
He returned to his hometown and settled down. He should have settled down. Zhihao felt uncomfortable for no reason, because he had his own home here. I believe that home is still empty, no one has moved in, and no one has touched the key.
It's in Rouyu's little bag, but now it can't be opened easily. It requires patience, and patience always makes people feel frustrated.
The hotel is not low-grade and the conditions are good. It is a warm couple's room. When Rouyu is sitting comfortably on the bunk, Zhihao observes behind the curtains for a long time. Having entered the city, Zhihao becomes alert and cannot relax for a moment.
.
Making sure nothing happened, Zhihao closed the curtains and said, "Yu'er, wash up and let's go eat."
After the meal, Rouyu hurriedly took Zhihao back to the room, locked the door and sat on the bunk. Zhihao smiled slightly, "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and I want to take Yu'er out to see the flowers and lanterns."
Rouyu looked at Zhihao blankly, this was not Zhihao's usual style.
Zhihao patted Rou Yu's face and said, "Yu'er, you are very well-behaved and sensible. I am very satisfied."
"Yu'er can't cause trouble for you. If people from the ### gang recognize us, we will be in trouble."
"This means that Yu'er wants to go out and have a look." Zhihao laughed, "Let's go, I'm here, even if the ### gang recognizes her, what will happen?"
Rouyu murmured in a low voice, "It's better not to let them recognize you."
"This way." Zhihao thought for a while, "You still wear the same dark clothes and hat, and I still wear the same clothes, inconspicuous, and wearing sunglasses. In this way, others can't easily recognize me.
We are."
"Yeah." Rouyu nodded and smiled again, "You, you are wearing sunglasses today. Are you looking cool, or are you acting different?"
Zhihao smiled and said, "Then, just lower your hat."
Under such a situation, it is also courageous to still look at the flowers and enjoy the lanterns calmly and maintain such a state of mind.
Zhihao led Rouyu and stood by the flower pond in the square, admiring the lanterns from a distance. Even though Zhihao believed that no one could bring harm to them, after all, he had returned to this city. Showing courage did not mean taking risks. He was being hunted.
The scene was vivid in his mind, not to mention that he was surrounded by the person he was protecting, so Zhihao naturally did not dare to be careless.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. It is just a coincidence. You can only take the risk once. It will not work if you take it too many times. Zhihao understands this truth deeply.
There weren't many people here, so Zhihao still looked around indifferently, but didn't find anything happening. Zhihao slowly felt relieved.
Rouyu neither showed the joy of the festival, nor did the heavy pressure in her subconscious affect her mood. She only watched the lanterns quietly, without coming closer to appreciate them one by one. She also felt the atmosphere of the festival. The colorful lanterns seemed to have caused a stir.
So many wonderful childhood memories.
Rouyu's feeling made Zhihao happy, and Zhihao also looked at the lanterns happily.
Suddenly, Zhihao felt a hand silently placed on his shoulder...
