Longmen Memoirs

The vast outline of the city at the end of the horizon has become clearly visible.

The car drove into the outer ring of the city from the port on the docking level, and headed east of the city along the highway erected on the outer ring, entering the outskirts of the city. The destination was located in the seventh district of Longmen, close to the edge but not far away. Being in an important economic regional network, the land price is relatively cheap, the transportation is convenient, and the construction of small and medium-sized warehouses and logistics needs are taken into account.

Texas looked all the way out the window.

As the car drove onto the elevated highway, the city's outline and buildings became extremely clear. The prosperity of Longmen surpassed any city Texas had ever seen before, but at the same time, the splendor here also made Texas feel excited. A touch of strangeness.

Chen Mo noticed Texas' gaze.

The speed of the car slowed down a bit.

"Isn't it beautiful?" he asked suddenly, with the window next to the driver's seat lowered halfway.

The sunshine at noon is warm, accompanied by the cool breeze outside the window. Longmen is not as cold and cold as Ursus, nor does it have the continuous light rain in Letania. It is a warm city, at least it looks like spring all year round.

There are white clouds slowly drifting across the blue sky. In the clear field of vision, the city reflected in the sun seems to be exuding vitality.

And here, a long and short journey for Texas is about to come to an end.

"Is this the Dragon Gate?" Texas said softly, with a little curiosity.

"You will like it here, Gouzi." Chen Mo replied.

He glanced at the city outside the car, beyond the dense urban area and the busy streets.

Some memories hurriedly emerged in the depths of the black pupils, but were quickly replaced.

Texas failed to notice this abnormality in him.

"Longmen was once my home. In the future, you can also find a life of your own here."

Texas heard him say that and changed the subject.

"But the first step in life is to fill your stomach and feed yourself."

"I know."

"We're almost there."

Outside the car, the car was parked in the square in front of a certain company. Inside the car, Texas took over the information documents prepared by Chen Mo. Her face was still as cold as ever, and there was no unnecessary emotion.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a formality."

"I'm not nervous."

"But I'm a little bit." Facing Texas' strange look, Chen Mo said, "My mood is a little complicated right now, and you probably won't understand."

"You can explain it to me."

"It's quite troublesome to explain." Chen Mo shook his head and looked at Texas, who opened the car door, "I'm here waiting for your good news."

"Aren't you with me?" Texas asked subconsciously.

"You are the one doing the interview, not me."

"Ah."

Texas got out of the car. She walked to the door and looked up at the unfamiliar logo on the company in front of her. Chen Mo stared at her back. When Texas turned around, their eyes met in mid-air. She saw Snake, who was standing in front of the car, waved his palms towards himself.

The action felt familiar to Texas.

she remembered.

That movement made Texas feel like Miss Isa stood at the school gate in Syracuse when she was a child, watching him go in.

The same thing happened when I turned around and saw Miss Isa waving to me.

The only difference is that she always has a gentle smile on her face.

That was so long ago that Texas thought he had forgotten.

She looked back.

Maybe she actually knew in her heart, no, both he and Snake knew that they were about to part ways here.

Just like the kind and gentle Miss Isa.

When she was a child, Texas wanted to grow up, but she never thought about what she would do when she grew up. It wasn’t until she really grew up that she discovered that some things she thought were familiar, people and things that would never change. In the process, he quietly left her and could only occasionally appear in vague and incomplete memory fragments.

An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in Texas's heart, like reluctance, but she couldn't tell where she was. It should be said that she was not used to it. Although this day would come sooner or later, she had been prepared, but when it really happened After the incident, Texas still couldn't convince himself to calm down.

She had no choice but to withdraw her gaze, pretend to be calm, and walked into the gate of Penguin Logistics.

Chen Mo didn't look back until Luper's figure disappeared from sight.

He sat back in the car.

Suddenly losing someone who had been with him for a long time still made him feel a brief sense of loss, but Chen Mo soon calmed down this emotion.

Because Chen Mo knows where Texas belongs.

A real separation is often like this. There is no yelling or long speech. The real separation is usually on a mild afternoon, the sun is just right, we wave to each other, say a few ordinary words, and then lose contact.

Because long before they decided to separate, both parties actually knew it in their hearts.

Some words don't need to be said, and most of the words that can be said are meaningless.

Chen Mo looked at the wide road in front of the car. After a few years, he returned to Longmen again. It seemed that every time he came back, Longmen would bring him something new. The purpose of each time he returned to Longmen was different, and his mood was completely different.

The last time he returned to Longmen was three years ago. A lot of things happened in Longmen. Before leaving, he decided that he would never have anything to do with this city that he loved and hated for the rest of his life.

From then on, Longmen is Longmen, Chen Mo is Chen Mo, the grudges are over, and there is no more quarrel.

But in the world, there are often many things that cannot be explained clearly. From the moment I met Chen Huijie again in Londinium, some things were changed.

The paranoid Chen was difficult to deal with, and the paranoid and strong-willed Chen Huijie broke the path Chen Mo had originally planned for himself, tying him to Longmen again.

For Chen, Longmen is her home and her destination. There is a family relationship that she cannot break even though it is awkward, and there are also all her memories from childhood to adulthood.

But Chen Mo is different. Longmen has no longer been Chen Mo’s home from a very early age, and most of the memories left by Longmen to Chen Mo have become his obstacles. Longmen is not Chen Mo’s home. On the contrary, Longmen is a heavy shackles for him. , and when he finally decided to cut off this shackles and throw away the past, Chen Huijie happened to appear again.

Without Longmen, Chen Mo can live more freely. Without Longmen, Chen Mo, who is free from worries, can embark on any path he wants to take, but Chen held him back and pulled him back to what Chen Huijie selfishly hoped for. , to Chen Mo, it is a kind of shackles.

Chen Mo couldn't get any relief here, and he couldn't get any respite in Longmen.

But Chen Mo came back after all.

Having resolutely told Wei Yanwu that he would have nothing to do with Longmen from now on, he shamelessly returned to the land of Longmen.

But Chen Mo couldn't blame Chen, and he couldn't blame Chen because he hid many things from Chen that he couldn't tell Chen, which made Chen mistakenly think that Longmen could also be his destination.

To a certain extent, Chen Mo accommodated Chen Huijie, the seemingly beautiful fantasies in her heart, Chen Huijie's wishful thinking, and Chen Huijie's character that was so strong that it made people feel stubborn and difficult to deal with.

He had to accommodate Chen, because he had known Chen's character since he was a child, so he would not be surprised at all no matter how Chen intensified his behavior in the future. Chen Mo, who knew this, naturally had to accommodate Chen.

He wants to leave some good things in Chen's heart that make Chen feel that he can do it. He wants to make Chen feel that he is not a burden or a broom star who only brings bad things to others.

Because for Chen, Longmen is indeed the best place for her. After leaving Longmen, Chen Huijie's upright thoughts and those ridiculous thoughts in her heart will find it difficult to find a place for her ideals in this land.

Chen will be disappointed, hesitant, and confused. Maybe she can understand this. After experiencing some suffering and setbacks, she can correct some of her naive ideas in the past, and she can find a new path for herself.

But it shouldn't be like this.

Chen's life should not be full of bumps and bumps along the way, nor should he be reduced to struggling like him.

------

The outer ring of Longmen is an abandoned urban area.

In the abandoned building behind them, members of the heavily armed action team escorted the suspects out of the entrance of the abandoned building. Several exploded cars blocked the middle of the street. Thick smoke rose after the emergency fire was extinguished.

The fox waved and fanned.

"team leader."

"Report the situation."

"According to intelligence clues, the seven suspects hiding here were successfully arrested, and there were no casualties on our side."

"One group will stay as guards until the Guards Bureau arrives and hand over the prisoners to them, while the others will gather up."

"Yes."

The police officer nodded, but hesitated to speak.

"Say something."

"That's right, captain, we took over their case in advance without notifying the inspection team this time. After the people from the Guards Bureau arrive, I'm afraid there will be a conflict between the two sides. You also know that the old police officers of the inspection team are doing things differently. If there is a conflict among everyone, I am worried that there will be risks in leaving only one group."

"Worried? You are also in a group, are you afraid of being beaten?"

The fox looked straight at the team member.

"How can this be possible, captain, please don't accuse me wrongly. I just think it would be better to keep the people from the second group to be on the safe side." The other party hurriedly explained, and then whispered: "We are in the wrong for this matter. If we really fight, Our people are unreasonable. If we win, it won't be justified. But if, I mean, if we lose, it won't look good, right?"

"Well, it makes sense."

"Then I'll inform the second team." The other party turned around.

"No need." Fox smiled, and she reached out and patted the other party's shoulder: "I mean, if you lose the fight, do you know the consequences?"

"So, did you win?"

"After winning the battle, the inspection team came to trouble me. Whose fault do you think it is?" Fox asked, taking back his hand and reminding: "Remember to handle it properly, properly, do you understand?"

"clear."

The other party nodded subconsciously, then shook his head.

"……not understand?"

"If you don't understand, use some snacks to understand."

Fox was obviously stunned when he received the call.

There was a series of unfamiliar numbers on the screen, and the fox had already guessed who the owner was behind the phone, because except for that guy, probably no one would call him this long-unused number.

Counting the days, it's almost the same time.

After a few seconds, the fox pressed the answer button.

Fox swore that if she opened her mouth and faced that indifferent sales company, she would make him and his company regret dialing randomly.

It was quiet for a while, and then a questioning voice sounded from the other side.

"……fox?"

"..."

The fox's fingers holding the phone tightened subconsciously, and his eyes flickered.

"came back?"

There was a brief silence on the other side, and it took a few seconds before the fox heard the answer.

"Just arrived."

"Where【

"Xiahuan, the bridge near Dongsan Road."

"I know, just stand there and don't move. I'll pick you up."

The fox's voice on the phone seemed a little rushed, and Chen Mo knew why.

He replied half-jokingly.

"I can't run."

"I said, don't move."

The fox's voice sounded unmistakably like a command.

People gathered in the streets of Xiahuan, and the streets of Longmen were usually crowded with traffic. Fox stopped the car and looked for something among the crowds of people passing by.

As people came and went, her gaze suddenly stopped.

Stopped on a bench by the bridge about ten meters away.

The man with his back to the direction of the fox sat on a bench under a tree along the river and looked at the wide river in front of him. Several ships were slowly passing by the river. The tall bridge erected in the middle of the artificial river beside him, Traffic passes by.

The noisy voices in my ears suddenly quieted down at this moment.

The fox looked at his back sitting on the bench.
