Longmen Memoirs

"you say……"

"why me?"

"Of course I recommend it." The fox said matter-of-factly.

"...Then I really want to thank you eight generations of ancestors, fox."

"You're welcome." Fox said modestly, looking at Chen Mo sitting opposite, and then at Sakaz sitting on the left: "Miss W, do you have any questions?"

"I have a question..." W raised his head and thought for a while, then turned to look at the fox: "No, but can you guarantee that this... Chief Chen will really cooperate with me to complete the operation and not run away midway? No. Who am I targeting? As far as I know, Mr. Chen was very good at doing similar things before."

w's crossed legs swayed slightly, his left elbow resting on his knees and his head staring at Chen Mo.

Her words are always so sharp.

Before Chen Mo could speak, Fox had already answered on my behalf.

"On this point, I have cooperated with Deputy Team Leader Chen for a long time. I can definitely answer Miss W's question. As the deputy team leader of the action team, Chen Mo is fully capable of completing this operation."

"Oh?" W suddenly became interested. She looked at the fox up and down: "It's really rare. Officer Su, are you talking to him? If I remember correctly, I have dealt with this person and he is still alive. Su The police officer is the first person I know."

"Maybe it's because I have better luck."

The fox smiled modestly.

"This is not a simple matter of luck." w pointed at Chen Mo as if asking for advice. "If you knew how bad this guy's past was, I don't think you would say such frivolous words."

"The past? Miss W is referring to some past events that happened before the civil war between Victoria and Cazdale? I know a little bit about this."

The fox said it very easily, so relaxed that W was obviously stunned.

"Although I don't know what kind of interactions Miss W and Deputy Team Leader Chen Mo had before, Miss W, everyone has a different impression of the person." Fox said, with a modest and kind smile on his lips: "It's unfortunate. Deputy Team Leader Chen Mo and I have known each other since we were young, and he may have changed somewhat over the years, but I personally think that people will change, and there is nothing surprising about this."

Chen Mo could clearly see W gritting his teeth slightly.

The smile on the fox's face seemed so dazzling in her eyes, as if he was showing off something naked.

It's a pity that w has never been a person who can swallow his anger.

Her surprise quickly turned into a bright smile.

"So...it turns out that Officer Su and Officer Chen are friends who have known each other since childhood. Then they must have a very good relationship. Speaking of which, I seem to have never heard him mention you." w frowned slightly and thought. For a moment: "Did I remember it wrong? I remember that the picture in his previous picture album was of another woman. She looks very similar to Superintendent Chen of your inspection team. I wonder if she is the same person?"

The smile on the corner of the fox's mouth suddenly stiffened for a moment, but she concealed it so well, it was as if nothing had happened, and even the dullness in her eyes seemed to be a real reaction.

"Miss W remembers correctly." Unexpectedly, the fox did not refute: "Speaking of which, Superintendent Chen happens to be the head of the inspection team in charge of this case. She and I are colleagues. Miss W may I don’t know yet, but after a while, if Miss W still has time to stay in Longmen for a while, she might have a chance to catch up with their wedding."

Chen Mo didn't remember that he had mentioned this matter. In fact, it was entirely the fox's own improvisation.

"Really? I don't want to miss such a lively event." W was a little surprised, but soon smiled. No one knew what she was thinking under her smiling face.

"I wonder if Officer Chen would welcome an old friend like me?"

She looked at Chen Mo questioningly.

The sarcasm and ridicule in that smile seemed to say that Chen Mo was a scumbag. To a certain extent, based on what Chen Mo had done in the past, he could indeed be called a scumbag.

Chen Mo had no doubt that if there really was such a wedding, the door of the auditorium would be pushed open in the middle of the wedding, and the guests would be shocked by the mad and cold smile on this woman's face. Huhe collapsed amidst her crazy laughter.

She is very good at destroying other people's joy and takes great joy in doing so.

"That's the end of the joke."

When the sound of rain became louder, the room finally became quiet, and the two of them looked at him at the same time.

Chen Mo sighed lightly.

"Let's talk about what happened just now."

"This way of changing the topic is so straightforward that it makes people miss it... It's up to you to arrange it as you wish. It doesn't matter if you choose this person or another person. Anyway, this is your own decision. I must have a lot to say here. Neither of you feel comfortable speaking out." W waved his hand nonchalantly: "The debt between us can be settled later."

w glanced at Chen Mo deeply, as if he remembered Chen Mo's appearance in his heart, then stood up, picked up the gun placed on the sofa with one hand, left the second floor without looking back, and disappeared at the top of the stairs. .

Soon after, the sound of a locomotive engine starting was heard downstairs.

Chen Mo and Foxhound fell silent at the same time.

The wind and rain fell on the window sill. After more than ten seconds, the fox handed Chen Mo a cigarette.

"Do you know her?" she asked sideways after lighting up her cigarette.

"Didn't you guess it a long time ago?" Chen Mo took the lighter she handed over and put it on the table.

The fox smiled and did not retort.

"Honestly, Fox, was this your idea or his?"

Chen Mo couldn't understand Foxhound more and more. After being away from his past life for a year, his vigilance and fear seemed to be plummeting like his body.

"Half..." Fox pursed his lips: "The people from the tracing team have already contacted Chief Wei. The joint operation between the action team and the inspection team is actually just to facilitate the action team's subsequent actions. I recommended it to him. You also know that he will not see me putting you in a relaxed and safe position, which happens to be what I think."

"Do you think the closer I am to the tracing team, the safer I will be?"

"Isn't it?" Fox asked back: "Chief Wei wanted to know their specific purpose, but he was not sure that he could control the danger of the information they brought in time, so he pushed the inspection team out as insurance. Even if we openly We know they have ulterior motives, but due to the official status of the two countries and the legitimacy of the other party's purpose, Longmen cannot take the initiative."

"Wei Yanwu cannot fail to understand your thoughts." Chen Mo reminded.

The fox chuckled.

Chen Mo suddenly realized that he had asked a very stupid question.

Of course Wei Yanwu can see it, but he will not object. He will even be happy to throw out Chen Mo, a useless chess piece, to explore the truth.

"Why have you become so stupid?" the fox asked with a smile.

Chen Mo failed to refute.

"By the way, when are you going to get married?"

Chen Mo looked at it in confusion【>

"I thought you were joking."

"I just thought, maybe it's not a joke. Based on our friendship, how much contribution do you think I should prepare? Let's agree first. I'm not as rich as you think. How about treating the ex who owes me as a contribution?"

She rarely said such irrelevant nonsense.

"fox."

"how?"

"It's nothing."

"Gouzi, are we still friends?" Fox asked suddenly. Chen Mo saw her standing up, as if ready to leave.

"Always."

"good friend?"

She looked down at Chen Mo, with the rainy sky behind her, and raindrops dripping down the rusty iron window fence. She spread her hands and stretched, and her slender waist and upper body were displayed in front of Chen Mo.

The cigarette held between fingertips was extinguished in the ashtray.

A brisk smile appeared on the corner of the fox's mouth. The orange ears on its head and the furry tail on its back reminded Chen Mo of the sloppy kid who once lived in the resettlement camp.

Later he found out that she was a girl. At that time, she angrily told Chen Mo that she would marry him when she grew up.

"I suddenly felt that it would be great if we could be friends for the rest of our lives."

She picked up the silver lighter on the seat and walked to the stairs. Chen Mo looked at her back, thin and thin, and a voice seemed to ring in his ears, asking him to leave her, Su Li.

Chen Mo raised his hand, about to say something, but the fox suddenly turned around, and Chen Mo's words were blocked in his mouth.

"I left something for you. You will need it at the old place." The fox turned around and reminded: "The action time is 22 o'clock tonight, don't forget it."

She turned around and waved to him coolly behind Chen Mo's back. Chen Mo failed to see the fox who turned around. After the smile on his face collapsed, the residual smell of smoke deep in her throat made her purse her lips tightly. , with deep loneliness hidden in his eyes.

The fox would not deny the sudden regret that arose in her heart.

"Let's go, see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

Chen Mo looked at the cigarette that had not been completely extinguished when he sat on it, and suddenly felt a little lonely. The sound of rain was intermittent, but he still couldn't say those words.

If two people know each other too well and are too close to each other, it will not be easy for them to go further and they will not know where to start, let alone someone like Chen Mo.

It's a pity that the fox and him have become such people.

They can be enemies, they can be friends, they can even regard each other as relatives, but in the end they cannot become true relatives, and the fox is not just a relative to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo thought that sometimes the fox would think about this problem like herself. If the fox wanted to, she had countless ways to keep Chen Mo, but she didn't.

They had been by each other's side when they were most lonely and helpless. After getting used to the days and days in the resettlement camp, they finally waited for the day they parted.

Both he and the fox knew that day would come, and had already prepared for it, so they could be so calm before leaving.

Because they believe they will meet again.

But no one expected that a total of thirteen springs, summers, autumns and winters would pass after that, and a letter written in Longmen in 1077 would lie alone in a drawer for 13 years.

Chapter 73 No one should think that they are born a bad person

[Recommended bgm: Moon and You]

As soon as I closed my eyes, the fire would appear in my mind. She stared at me from the other side of the fire, so I saw myself in her eyes, weak and powerless.

I have been trying to keep myself alive, greedily seeking every breath of air floating around me, but later, living for the sake of living, I gradually forgot why I had to live so desperately.

I can't find it.

I can't find it, I can't tell which one is the real me, and where will I go? The road under my feet is never clear. I am like grass, swaying in the wind, like driftwood, drifting with the current.

I am an inconspicuous piece of dust, an ownerless soul wandering in a foreign land.

Year after year, month after month, day after day, just when I thought I would continue wandering aimlessly like this for the rest of my life until I died, I met her.

I don't know what kind of feelings I have for her, but I'm pretty sure it's not love.

Amiya, do you know?

She makes me feel like a good person.

Maybe……

I should have had a chance to be a good person.

------------

Chen Mo found the gift left for him by the fox in the old place of the teahouse.

Opening the closet to reveal the transformed space behind the cabinet, Chen Mo once laughed at the outdated and cliched mechanism of the fox, but it was undeniable that at this moment, he suddenly felt a trace of nostalgia in his heart.

When my fingers brushed against the rough wall frame, the sound of rain gradually stopped a lot.

Fox is an inexplicably nostalgic person. She wears masks with various expressions, including joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but she has this subtle emotion hidden in her bones. She often misses old things in the past, including but not limited to people and objects, maybe a line. The street, maybe a tree, it was hard to tell what it was that suddenly left an impression on her heart.

Chen Mo thought that it was probably because of the loss that the fox would inevitably have this sense of dependence on everything familiar in the past.

He reached out and took out the long black package and unzipped it.

A black handgun, a full magazine, and a dagger were neatly stuck in the leather bag with a belt. A corner of the silver police badge was exposed on one side, and the ferocious dragon mark of the dragon gate was covered by a shadow.

With his fingertips gently brushing against the police badge, Chen Mo reached out and picked up the handgun. With a clicking sound, he confirmed the condition of the weapon and put it back into his bag, closed the zipper, and carried it behind his back.

The tactical panel placed in the corner, the two figures sitting on the benches, the notebooks and pencils placed horizontally on the table, and maybe two cups of milk tea placed next to the long knife that was returned to the scabbard.

The afternoon sunshine is always short-lived.

There is probably nothing here that Chen Mo can miss anymore.

Scenes from the past appeared in Chen Mo's mind one by one like miniatures of old photos. They were not very clear and messy. Time kept going back, to the tavern named Sadland in 1090. Two people Goodbye to the young man, he sat at the bar and she stood at the door.

The sound of wind chimes signaled the arrival of new customers, people were hurrying on the street, and the sun mischievously entered the tavern with the half-open door. He turned around and saw Wolper, enveloped in light and shadow.

Time is still going back. That year, the sign of Sadland Tavern had not yet been hung up. The new city was still shrouded in the roar of industrial equipment all night long. The resettlement camp was noisy and silent. Two small figures sat leaning on each other in the resettlement camp. On the small slope behind.

The city in the distance is so bright, the lights of thousands of houses are dazzling and joyful, the sea of ​​stars above is eroding, the starlight reflects the neon of the city, and the neon of the city falls into the eyes of two pairs of hesitating eyes.

When we walked out of the teahouse, the rain stopped slightly.

Raindrops were dripping from the eaves of the colored steel sheds on both sides of the alley, and small puddles on the bumpy ground made ripples. There was no sound of wind, and only the rain drifted diagonally across the narrow sky above the gloomy alley, like the slits of a girl's narrowed eyes. .

Chen Mo stopped under the rolling shutter door.
