Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 139 Mark
In Wan'an District, the setting sun peeked in through the half-covered curtains, and Jiang Xu was sitting on the sofa by the window. On a summer afternoon, she was still tightly wrapped up, afraid of the cold, afraid of the cold for no reason.

He woke up, but not quite well.

The kind of strength that kept him alive became weaker after returning from the snow region, and only he knew it.

Ah Ruo, it was he who proposed to be Ye Mimi's driver.

He was worried, and only he knew it.

At this moment, he was sitting by the window alone, looking at the sunlight, the light and shadow on the ground slowly moving, time passing by little by little.

It was already late at night when Ye Mimi came back, the light in the living room was on, and Jiang Xu was sitting on the sofa chair, still waiting for her to come back.

"How about Lin Xiaodong?" Jiang Xu asked.

"The mentor has made a move. This is the situation I want to see the most, and it is also the situation I don't want to see the most." Ye Mimi said.

"Mimi, you want to say that Lin Xiaodong shouldn't be in this situation." Jiang Xu understood.

"Well, the bond of blood shouldn't be his crime, should it?" Ye Mimi said this while looking at Jiang Xu, as if the words were meant for him.

"Mimi, is there anything in this world that should or shouldn't be?" Jiang Xu asked, "Everything is like the Oedipus king you showed me, with nowhere to escape under the control of fate." , we are just one of the pawns, and we don't have that much energy to influence anyone's life."

Ye Mimi stepped forward and kissed Jiang Xu's forehead lightly, and looked at him tenderly: "What's wrong with you?" He said and held his thin hand, "I know how the body affects people's thoughts, ah Xu, you will be fine, I promise you." She looked at him with such a fiery and almost morbid obsession.

Jiang Xu opened his arms and hugged Ye Mimi tightly. He liked to hold her like this, the kind of hug that he couldn't do before, and he didn't know how to hug her for the rest of his life.

"That kid is a painter." Ye Mimi said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"That kid with other plans opened a gallery downstairs of Lin Xiaodong's house. I saw the paintings in it. It was gloomy, cold, and crazy, just like that person."

……

"Dad, I need to have a good chat with your classmates. Liu Linhai is dead." Lin Xiaodong said to Lin Zhongyue as soon as he entered the house.

Lin Zhongyue was stunned, and paused for a while before saying, "Didn't you just meet him two days ago?"

"This is the strange thing. Although he was old when I saw him, he was not dead. Dad, I need to talk to your old classmate."

Hearing what Lin Xiaodong said, Lin Zhongyue hesitated: "The reason why I drank so much that day was actually because he yelled at me and left the scene of the class reunion. I was so sad that I poured myself Drunk. You said let me contact him, I really don't know how to say this. "

"scold you?"

"Because he now knows that the so-called 5 yuan is not comparable to a stable job. He missed that job opportunity. He has suffered a lot in these years of ups and downs. When he saw me, he remembered that accident. All the grievances of the past have been poured on me." Lin Zhongyue sighed, as if he still couldn't let go of it when he mentioned it again.

……

"Didn't I tell you, I don't see you, there's nothing to talk about." In front of Lin Xiaodong in a grocery store, there was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a hunchback. That's right, a hunchback. He is wearing a white undershirt that has been washed out of shape. There is no air conditioner in the shop, and the electric fan is turning annoyingly with a humming sound. His whole face is greasy, which makes people feel inexplicably stuffy.

"You are my father's classmate, please allow me to call you Uncle Luo Kai." Lin Xiaodong said patiently.

"Hmph, I can't bear it. You are a decent family. You don't need to get close to me, a small businessman." Luo Kai had a cigarette in his mouth, and he really didn't have a good attitude.

"My dad actually didn't know what happened that year, and you also know that he was an orphan at that time, so he had no ability."

"Come on, that guy named Liu made it very clear that he asked me to take the money to make way for Lin Zhongyue. I don't care what kind of relationship he has with the guy named Liu. In short, I was tricked by him. I just entered society at that time, how could I If you think so long-term, you will be tricked into being fooled." Luo Kai said angrily.

"Then do you remember what else Liu Linhai said to you?" Lin Xiaodong asked relentlessly.

Luo Kai glanced at him: "So what if I remember? Can I return the money to him and choose again?"

"No, but you can at least know why he did it."

"Hehe, you guys are too fake. Didn't I just scold Lin Zhongyue? Now I'm pretending to be stupid and putting the blame on that surname Liu? He just said that Lin Zhongyue is very pitiful. He has no parents and no mother. He needs this." The job is a guarantee, and the money can be used for me to start a business or something. At that time, this kind of public institution was indeed not as popular as it is now, and I was also short-sighted, so I agreed in a daze."

"Is that all? Did you say anything else?"

"Hehe, what else can I say? I only told me the name after I asked, otherwise I would just stuff the money and leave. Oh, by the way, the money is just like that pile of cash on the table and handed to me A written statement of renunciation of entry can only be obtained after signing, which is really very shrewd." Luo Kai grabbed a palm fan beside him and shook it irritably, probably because the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his head The sweat on the bed kept flowing down.

And Lin Xiaodong was sweating standing at the door of his shop. I don't know if it was because of his embarrassment that softened his heart or something. There is a piece of paper with [-] yuan written on it, and there is a mark on it. I think that Liu is a worker, not a boss, and I don’t know who gave the money.”

"Mark? What mark?" Lin Xiaodong became interested as soon as he heard it. He saw a book for registering goods on the side of the counter, took it over quickly, turned it over to reveal the blank back, and handed it to Luo Kai with a pen. "Do you remember?"

Lin Xiaodong looked at Luo Kai anxiously. Decades had passed, it was just a mark, and the possibility that he would not remember it was too great.

Sure enough, Luo Kai didn't take the pen and paper right away. He took a few puffs on the cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the concrete floor, and stomped it out skillfully.

Then he stretched out his hand, took the pen and paper from Lin Xiaodong, and drew a scribbled shape on it.

Lin Xiaodong looked at it and frowned: "What is this?"

"If I knew, I would have gone to the person who gave the money." Luo Kai threw away the pen, and went to organize the shelves by himself.
