Behind the curtains on the second floor opposite the barbecue restaurant, the man in the peaked hat was no less shocked than Lin Dahai and Lu Shanmin. He had been observing secretly for half a month, and he was an honest and responsible mountain villager. He thought that after tonight, he would be like Wang Dahu and suggested not to keep an eye on Lu Shanmin.
. I didn’t expect to see this scene tonight. Two decent men in suits bowed to a rustic mountain villager. Not to mention him, even ordinary people knew that there must be a story in it.
"You brat, how many things have you not told me?"
Lu Shanmin stayed where he was, subconsciously looking up at the second floor across the alley. There was no light and it was pitch black. After standing in this position for several months, Lu Shanmin clearly remembered that there were tenants on the second floor opposite.
I don’t know when it started, but the lights on the second floor opposite will no longer come on all night.
"Uncle Hai, do you know who lives on the second floor opposite?"
Lin Dahai raised his hand and slapped him, "Don't change the topic for me. Tell me if you are the illegitimate son of some rich man."
Lu Shanmin shook his head helplessly, "My parents died when I was one month old."
"Well, do you have any rich relatives in the East China Sea?"
"Uncle Hai, if it really happened, do you think I would still have a barbecue here?"
Lin Dahai scratched his head hard, "I have traveled across the East China Sea for decades, and I have never seen such a strange thing." Lin Dahai raised his head, "What did you ask me just now?"
"I asked you if you know who lives on the second floor opposite?"
Lin Dahai stared at the window on the second floor opposite for a long time, "Huh"? "Weird things happen every year, and there have been more since you came."
Lu Shanmin frowned and asked, "How do you say that?"
"I have run a barbecue restaurant here for more than ten years. I look across the street every day. Of course I know who lives there."
Lu Shanmin quickly asked, "Who?"
"Old man Li sells Shaanxi Roujiamo in the alley next door. Strangely enough, I haven't seen the lights on in that room for more than ten days. Is that old guy dead in there?"
Lin Dahai had a vague impression of what Old Man Li said about Lu Shanmin. He was the only one selling Shaanxi Roujiamo in the entire alley, and Lu Shanmin had eaten it twice.
"Will he go back to his hometown?"
Lin Dahai said unhappily: "I didn't know that you really thought I was the aunt of the neighborhood committee, and everyone in the alley was well-educated."
Lin Dahai turned around and asked, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
Lu Shanmin just chuckled and didn't tell him that he had been feeling a pair of eyes staring at him from behind the window recently.
"It's nothing, it's just a little strange, anyone can ask."
Lin Dahai curled his lips, "Strange? Is there anything weirder than you in this world?"
Lu Shanmin was also puzzled. He thought of Wang Dahu's inexplicable hostility, the inexplicable actions of the two men in suits today, and his intuition that someone was always spying on him during this period. When he was hunting in the past, this intuition had saved his life more than once.
He believed that this was definitely not an illusion. Lu Shanmin concluded that something must have gone wrong somewhere. But all along, he had been doing his duty and had not been involved in anyone's conflicts or interests. Lu Shanmin really couldn't think of it.
Understand what exactly went wrong.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Lu Shanmin's face, Lin Dahai looked at Lu Shanmin blankly, "Shanmin, if what you said is all true and you didn't hide anything from me, judging from my decades of experience in the world, this
Most of the time, the disaster is greater than the blessing."
Then he sighed, "You are really a troublemaker."
Lu Shanmin scratched his head in embarrassment, "Don't worry, Uncle Dahai, I won't cause you any trouble."
Lin Dahai sighed, "Don't worry, if Liu Qiang hadn't been driven away completely last time, it would be hard to tell if my store would still be there."
Lu Shanmin looked at the door and giggled. Lin Dahai was dissatisfied with Lu Shanmin's refusal to answer his words. He followed his gaze, and his eyes suddenly glowed with golden light. He sighed inwardly, "Damn it, did Chang'e escape from the Moon Palace, or did the Seven Fairies descend?"
Liaofan'.
Zeng Yaqian is wearing a snow-white evening dress, with long hair, slightly curled on her shoulders, bright platinum earrings hanging from her two earlobes, a dazzling blue sapphire on her chest, and light makeup on her face, maybe because of drinking
Because of the wine, his face was white and rosy. He was wearing a diamond-shaped ring on his hand, and he was wearing white high-heeled shoes studded with diamonds. He had a small shoulder bag of unknown brand slung on his arm. It was like a castle.
The princess comes out.
Zeng Yaqian walked up to Lu Shanmin, stroked her hair with her slender hands, and smiled, making her charming.
"Am I pretty"?
Lu Shanmin's face turned red, and he chuckled, showing his white teeth.
Zeng Yaqian pretended to be coquettish and said, "You don't want to praise me even a few words."
Lu Shanmin nodded, "It looks good."
Zeng Yaqian hooked her fingers at Lin Dahai. Lin Dahai quickly nodded and bowed, with a flattering look on his face, "What do you want Miss Zeng to do?"
"I want to reserve the venue today."
Lin Dahai nodded repeatedly, "No problem, you can just buy my store."
Zeng Yaqian may have drank some wine elsewhere, and her face was slightly drunk. She smiled and pointed at Lu Shanmin, "He's done it too."
Lin Dahai glanced at Lu Shanmin with envy and hatred, and quickly said with a smile: "Of course, he is yours today. Whatever you want to eat, I will bake it for you myself."
After saying this, Lin Dahai went to chase away the customers in the store. Among them were some regular customers. Lin Dahai couldn't help but apologize. Everyone was next door and they were easy to talk to. As for the strangers, Lin Dahai just used a stick to chase them away.
Man, after a while, Zeng Yaqian was the only customer left in the store.
The two sat opposite each other. Lu Shanmin did not dare to look directly at Zeng Yaqian. The other person was so dazzling tonight that it actually made Lu Shanmin feel ashamed. This feeling was something he had never felt even when he learned that Bai Ling was admitted to college.
.
Zeng Yaqian took a sip of beer, her bold look was completely inconsistent with her outfit.
"Ah, this wine is much better than the 1982 Lafite."
Lu Shanmin didn't know what kind of wine Lafite was, but Lin Dahai had seen some of the world. When he heard Zeng Yaqian's words, he almost lost his grip on the barbecue seasoning jar and dropped it to the ground. Damn, this must be such a rich owner.
Only a son can say such a thing.
"Why don't you look at me?" Zeng Yaqian asked with a smile.
"I, you are so beautiful," Lu Shanmin said nervously.
"Really?" Zeng Yaqian asked, tilting her head.
Lu Shanmin nodded.
"Prettier than your first girlfriend"?
Lu Shanmin glanced at Zeng Yaqian awkwardly. In terms of looks, Zeng Yaqian was definitely better looking than Bai Ling, but he and Bai Ling had been childhood sweethearts for nearly twenty years. Every bit of these twenty years had converged into a majestic torrent of emotions.
It can be easily forgotten with just a few words.
Seeing Lu Shanmin's embarrassed look, Zeng Yaqian laughed and said, "I really want to meet her if I have the chance to see what's so special about her."
Lu Shanmin didn't want to dwell on this topic and asked with a smile, "Why are you dressed like this today?"
Zeng Yaqian held her chin in her hand, with a hint of displeasure on her face. "A friend came back from studying abroad a few days ago. His family insisted that I accompany him to go shopping. There was also a dance party tonight. I was exhausted."
.
Lu Shanmin nodded. No wonder Zeng Yaqian was dressed like this. Thinking of the relationship between Zeng Yaqian and his father, he asked, "Aren't you and your father unable to deal with each other? Can he still control you?"
Zeng Yaqian sighed bitterly, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to him, but my grandfather has been very good to me since I was a child, so I still have to give him some face."
Then he smiled and asked, "Aren't you curious who that person is?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "How do I know who your friend is?"
"Haha, we can be considered childhood sweethearts."
Lu Shanmin asked tentatively, "Male"?
Zeng Yaqian looked at Lu Shanmin with a playful look on her face and smiled, "Are you jealous?"
Lu Shanmin's ears turned red and he smiled awkwardly, "Why should I be jealous?"
"You still don't admit it, but I clearly saw a look of disappointment flash across your face just now."
"I, you were drunk and you saw it wrong," Lu Shanmin said hesitantly.
"Hehehehe," Zeng Yaqian covered her mouth and giggled non-stop.
Lu Shanmin just thought that Zeng Yaqian thought his embarrassment was funny, and lowered his head with his face flushed, not daring to look at her. But after a while, Zeng Yaqian's laughter didn't stop. Lu Shanmin looked up at her, and his laughter gradually weakened,
The eye sockets were indeed slightly red, and you could even vaguely see the glistening moisture in her eye sockets.
Zeng Yaqian slowly took off the ring on her hand and took out the ring that Lu Shanmin gave her as a birthday gift from her small bag.
"Mountain Man, can I put this on?"
Lu Shanmin was a little confused. Although he gave it to her, the ring now belonged to her. Why should he ask himself whether to wear it or not? But when he thought about the ring he gave her, it was really not worthy of the outfit she was wearing at the moment.
Lu Shanmin said slowly: "I think the ring just now suits you better."
Zeng Yaqian looked at Lu Shanmin indifferently, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She smiled and put both rings into her bag.
The two drank for a while. Zeng Yaqian had already drank red wine and drank some beer, and her eyes began to blur. She had to admit that Zeng Yaqian in her semi-drunk state was really beautiful, so beautiful that one could not bear the slightest blasphemy.
"Wait for me here for a while." Lu Shanmin stood up.
He ran back to his residence in one breath, took out 30,000 yuan from under the sofa and returned to the barbecue restaurant.
I saw Lu Shanmin carrying bulging bags.
Zeng Yaqian smiled and asked, "For me"?
Lu Shanmin nodded and handed the bag over. "The 30,000 yuan I borrowed from you has not been used."
Zeng Yaqian smiled and took the bag, "If you don't use it, the interest will be calculated."
Lu Shanmin nodded solemnly, "How do you calculate it?"
Zeng Yaqian tilted her head and thought for a long time, "Should you give me whatever I want?"
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Well, I promised you that people in the mountains will not lie."
Zeng Yaqian stared blankly at Lu Shanmin, her eyes changed from the drunken confusion and laughter just now, her eyes were full of determination. Her tone also became firm, "What I, Zeng Yaqian, want, no matter whether others are willing to give it to me or not, I will not give up easily."
.
Zeng Yaqian's expression and words made Lu Shanmin completely confused, and he asked casually: "What do you want?"
Zeng Yaqian laughed and returned to her lazy and playful look, "I haven't decided yet whether it's what I want or what I want."
Lu Shanmin had already known about Zeng Yaqian's temperament of being sunny and rainy at times, but he only thought she was drunk and talking nonsense.
"Let's see. We'll discuss how to calculate the interest later. Tomorrow is Sunday, so let me watch a movie."
Zeng Yaqian was half drunk and had 30,000 yuan with her. Lu Shanmin originally planned to send her back. When he walked to the entrance of the alley, he saw the car that picked up Zeng Yaqian last time parked on the side of the road, and a man was standing beside the car.
, opened the car door and stood there respectfully. Only then did he remember that a girl like Zeng Yaqian did not need the protection of a mountain villager like herself.
