troublemaker

Chapter 280 No one was spared

The night is deep, people are not quiet.

In Villa No. [-], Azure Cartier, Muma Mountain, Fu Rong had left Villa No. [-] with Loess at some point. Xu Lin and Zhou Yi, who were sitting in the living room, were drinking and chatting with Li Chengjun. Only then did Xu Lin and Zhou Yi know that Li Chengjun was actually a republican. ***] People, no wonder Qi Yu looks imposing and imposing, with a cold murderous look in his eyes.

As for Li Chengjun, he felt that Xu Lin's accent was somewhat Beijing-like, so he frowned and asked Xu Lin if he was from Yanjing?Xu Lin didn't expect his accent to be hidden on purpose, but was discovered by the observant Li Chengjun, and he replied in a low voice that he was born in Tianjin Wei and grew up in Yanjing City.

Zhou Yi didn't talk much, he just listened to Xu Lin and Li Chengjun chatting, and occasionally had a drink or two by himself. He didn't smoke but drank. He wasn't addicted to alcohol, but ordinary people really couldn't drink him.I remember that when I was young, my master would get drunk every day. He also said that when drunk, people are the most sober and understand what they want. At that time, Zhou Yi didn’t understand anything. He just drank with his master. He also got drunk when his master was drunk, and he didn’t realize any truth However, the capacity for alcohol has been practiced.

Xu Lin knew what Fu Rong and Huang Tu were going to do. Such a big thing happened tonight. Zhao Chuxi has fallen now. Zhao Chuxi is the current master of this circle. If the successor designated by Aunt Jian has no temper and actions, no one in the circle will believe him, so Fu Rong and Huang Tu will take Zhao Chuxi's responsibility. It's done.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the night, and the lights in the villa were brightly lit, and no one felt sleepy. They were all energetic masters, and it was not a big deal if they didn't sleep all night.The more Xu Lin drank, the more courageous he became, and Li Chengjun was not discouraged. Some of the soldiers who came out of the army could drink poorly.

Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Xu Lin asked, "Cheng Jun, your surname is Li, and Tsing Yi's surname is also Li. Is she your sister?"

Li Chengjun thought for a few seconds in a daze and then replied, "If you count by seniority, I call him dad and cousin, but I'm the youngest in our generation, and the girl is the oldest in their generation. I'm two grades behind. Not a few years old, when I was a child, I often played with her. She thought it was embarrassing to call me uncle, so she kept calling me brother for more than 20 years. In the end, even I felt that calling uncle was more awkward, so it was better to call brother directly. , but in front of the elders at home, you have to call brother, otherwise the seniority will be really messed up."

Xu Lin was a little confused when he heard it, and after sorting it out, he replied, "Understood, Tsing Yi is your niece in seniority, but you two are considered brothers and sisters."

Li Chengjun, who usually doesn't talk much with strangers, may be feeling extremely depressed after seeing the girl's decadent look during this time, or maybe it's because of drinking so much wine tonight, and it just so happens that Xu Lin is more fond of him, and smiled wryly, " When I was young, a bunch of children at home surrounded the old man every day. The old man liked girls the most. Every time we bullied her, she would sue the old man. We were beaten a lot. The old man was really beaten. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished. Junzi, if you make a lot of noise, your ass will bloom."

Xu Lin and Zhou Yi listened to Li Chengjun scratching while drinking, knowing that he was depressed.

"Girl used to say that the older you get, the more lonely you become. At that time, I felt that you are all on your own. How could there be so many hypocrisy, and you can't see you when you look up. Later, I realized that when you grow up, you will have your own career and work. Like Some people in our family have joined the army and some have joined enterprises and institutions. Unless we get together during the Chinese New Year, we don’t even have the chance to get together. Slowly, this relationship will fade away. When we meet again, I found that many people have changed. The girl is more ruthless than all of us. She left for three and a half years. I used to think it was worthless, really worthless, but since I went to Fenghuang Village that time , I just realized that what the girl is insisting on is something we ordinary people can't understand at all." Li Chengjun muttered as if talking to himself.

Xu Lin asked in surprise, "Xiao Li, have you been to Fenghuang Village?"

"I've been there. I went there last winter. I really missed this girl so much. I finally found out the address from her best friend. I haven't been back for the Spring Festival for two consecutive years, and I haven't even made a phone call. The entire Li family doesn't know her. Whether it is life or death, who can rest assured, for this reason, the old man has not had a good Spring Festival for two years, and every time he scolds her father and grandpa, it is funny." Li Chengjun is funny when he thinks of the old man getting angry. Everyone knows that the old man likes girls. Tsing Yi is the one who loves the Li family the most.

Xu Lin was confused again when he heard that, he could just scold Li Qingyi's father, what kind of old man can scold Li Qingyi's grandfather, he couldn't help wondering, "How old is the old man?"

Li Chengjun said confidently, "Next year will be a hundred years old."

The old man is the pillar of the Li family, and they say that wealth is only three generations old, but the Li family has now passed down to the fourth generation, and each generation has someone who can carry the backbone of the Li family. He firmly believes that the Li family will continue forever, and the biggest credit is naturally An old man who is old but not dead.

Xu Lin was stunned when he heard that the old man was going to be one hundred years old. Even Zhou Yi's face changed slightly. It seemed that Master was only ninety-six years old this year. The old man of the Li family was almost one hundred years old. A real human being.

Xu Lin thought about it, the old man is a hundred years old, Li Chengjun and Li Qingyi are one generation behind, so according to Li Chengjun, Li Chengjun is the youngest of the third generation of the Li family, and Li Qingyi is the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Li family.Being able to live for such a long time is obviously not an ordinary person. Xu Lin has to wonder, what is the background of this Li family?

"Continue to talk about your going to Fenghuang Village." Compared with the Li family, Xu Lin is more interested in Fenghuang Village.

Li Chengjun drank a glass of wine and ate food and continued, "Counting this time, I have been to Fenghuang Village twice. This is a place that can't be found on the map. In short, it is a poor place with poor mountains and rivers. The first time I went was last winter. I set off from Yanjing, took a plane to Xining, drove the off-road vehicle borrowed from Lanzhou Military Region to Qilian County, filled up the gas and continued to drive, and drove to the village at the entrance of the mountain pass. The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and even the best off-road vehicle could not enter the mountain. , Usually it’s okay, there are tractors or ox carts going into the mountains, but in the winter, no one wants to go into the mountains, so I had to leave the car in the village and follow the road pointed by the villagers to go into the mountains alone. In short, I went into the mountains at night. By the time we got to Fenghuang Village, it was almost noon the next day."

Hearing this, Xu Lin raised his wine glass and said, "Xue Ye went into the mountains alone. I, Xu Lin, thought that I couldn't do such an awesome thing. I'm toasting you with this glass of wine. You're a man."

Xu Lin picked up the wine glass, served first as a respect, very heroic, Li Chengjun drank it up, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "It's nothing special, soldiers, you have encountered worse environments than this. I saw the girl She was already standing at the gate of the school waiting for me. It was probably Sun Qian who told her that I was coming. She said it was a school, but it was just a few random brick houses with ventilation on all sides. The girl lived in a similar building. In a small room, I haven’t shed tears a few times in my life, but that time my eyes were secretly red. It was the most dilapidated school I have ever seen. That time, I only stayed in Fenghuang Village for one day, and I asked her if she could go back. When I went home to celebrate the New Year, she said that there were still children, so I couldn’t go back. I said yes, I know what to say when I go back. The girl asked me to follow the children to a class. I think I will never forget those four or ten minutes in my life. Dirty faces, torn clothes, cold hands and feet, sores on hands and feet, children of different ages opened their watery eyes, staring at the girl solemnly, listening to her telling stories outside the mountains, listening to what she said about the motherland At that moment, I realized why the girl stayed here. If she stays there, those children will have hope."

"I think it is because of this that Chuxi chose to leave the mountain. I, Xu Lin, have always recognized Zhao Chuxi as a brother in my life. He made me, a layman who was full of money before, re-acquainted with many things. I thought that people are intrigues. Intrigue, there are very few friends who can confide in each other. After getting to know Qianxi and Erpang, you know what it means to value love and righteousness, what is flesh and blood, and what is brotherhood. I think a person who works hard every day on the construction site for more than ten He works hard every hour, earns less than 4000 yuan in wages, but only keeps 300 yuan in pocket money for himself, and the rest are called to the man of the children of Fenghuang Village. No matter how bad he is, he will never be so bad.” Xu Lin Smiling far-fetchedly, it was Han Sanqiang who told him about it, but he laughed so hard that he had no choice but to continue drinking with his glass.

Li Chengjun knew about this, and when the girl called the Li family to say that something happened in Fenghuang Village, he asked him to follow the girl and her father to Fenghuang Village, because the handling of the matter had to be transferred from the Lanzhou Military Region, and it would be difficult to handle it without the relationship of the Li family. .I remember the night when I arrived at Fenghuang Village, the girl drank a lot of wine, cried and told a lot about Zhao Chuxi after drinking, she said she didn't know how to tell Zhao Chuxi what happened in Fenghuang Village, Fenghuang Village is where Zhao Chuxi lived The motivation to persevere in the city, Fenghuang Village is gone, Zhao Chuxi's soul is gone, Li Chengjun also drank too much that night, his heart aches and feels depressed, he has never seen a girl shed tears, even when he was a child, falling The girl was stronger than all the men in the Li family, but she was injured, got injections, went to the doctor, etc., and that night, it was the first time she saw the girl cry, and she was so helpless, like a child.Li Chengjun knew more about what happened to Zhao Chuxi in the past year and a half. Some were said by Sun Qian, and some were said by the girl that night.Being stepped on by a dude, betrayed by a trusted person, betrayed by a big brother, framed by someone, hunted down, brother killed, etc. A series of things.

Li Chengjun said with emotion against his will, "Zhao Chuxi is an upright man, and I, Li Chengjun, recognize it."

"Xiao Li, it's now, tell me, what happened in Fenghuang Village?" Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Xu Lin summoned up his courage and asked.This is something that Xu Lin has been puzzled all night. Fenghuang Village is gone, what does it mean? He didn't want to ask, but he wanted to know the truth.

Li Chengjun didn't want to bring up this matter, but he felt that Zhao Chuxi's brothers like Xu Lin should know. Li Chengjun filled his glass with wine, took a deep breath and said, "A mudslide, all 68 women, old and young, in the village were not spared."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengjun raised his head and drank the wine in the glass again, but he couldn't get drunk no matter what, and he was still sober.

Even though Xu Lin had thought of the worst outcome, when Li Chengjun said it, Xu Lin was still shocked by the sudden news, unable to recover for a long time...
