The years when I was an old man

Back to Xiaoyanglou.

Although it was midnight, the three night owls hadn't slept yet.

The living room was messed up by the three of them.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, Xiaoduo is concentrating on playing the handle game "Contra".

This game console is almost obsolete.

In Xiaoduo's eyes, it is full of novelty.

Looking at Xiaoduo's obsessed look.

In my heart, I feel a little distressed.

In fact, Xiaoduo and I have many similarities.

For example, our childhood was spent in the depression of learning art.

No games, no entertainment.

Not even a friend.

On the sofa, Lao Hei and Chen Yonghong are playing poker, drawing bastards.

Old Hei's face was already badly painted.

On the contrary, Chen Yonghong didn't have a single one on his face.

Seeing me come back, the three of them ignored me.

I cleared my throat and said directly:

"Tomorrow I'm going to Chita River!"

Old Hei was playing cards seriously, when he heard what I said, he asked without raising his head:

"Chita River? Is it far? By train, or by plane? I haven't been on a plane yet!"

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Yonghong said in a low voice with a smirk on his face:

"You haven't sat down, but you have played..."

"What do you mean?"

Old Hei was taken aback, but he still didn't understand what Chen Yonghong meant.

By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

Chen Yonghong had already thrown away the poker and ran to the side, hehe smirking.

I also ignored the nonsense of the two, and replied:

"More than 400 kilometers, a small city, where is the airport!"

"I'll go with you too!"

Old Hei didn't even ask me what I was going to do, but said right away without asking.

"I am coming too!"

"And I!"

Chen Yonghong and Xiaoduo both agreed.

Looking at the three of them, I smiled slightly.

…………

In the north in 2000, there were not many transportation options for traveling.

The vast majority of people generally choose the train.

As the provincial capital of Harbin, there are even more people in front of the railway station.

In 2000, the real-name system for train tickets had not yet been implemented.

It is even more difficult to buy a good berth.

There is only one train from Habei to Qitahe at [-]:[-] p.m., and tickets are hard to buy.

I originally planned to buy two sleeping berths from scalpers at a higher price when I arrived at the train station.

But when I met Qi Lan.

It turned out that she had arranged everything properly.

Before the ticket was checked, the staff at the train station sent us to the train ahead of schedule.

Qi Lan bought a soft sleeper.And, bought four berths.

In the soft sleeper box, there were only the two of us.

As before, Qi Lan is still elegant and generous.

High-heeled leather boots, light-colored jeans, and a high-end suitcase.

Outside the close-fitting little cashmere sweater was a black mink coat.

In 2000, it was definitely a representative of social status.

He took off his mink coat and hung it aside.

As soon as she took it off, I couldn't help looking at her chest.

It must be said that Qi Lan has a great figure.

It is also very predictable, no less than Huang Run, a big-breasted woman.

Especially wearing a close-fitting cashmere sweater.

It even outlines her figure with unevenness.

Qi Lan opened the suitcase.

She actually took out a bottle of whiskey, two square glasses, and some snacks from the box.

Putting it on the small table, Qi Lan said with a smile:

"I'm going to take the train all night, so I brought some wine specially for us to have a drink. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night..."

Said, opened the wine bottle.We each poured half a glass.

After chatting for a while, Qi Lan said again:

"Little Sixth Master, this time I'm going to Qita River, I may have to wrong you..."

Wronged?

I gave Qi Lan a puzzled look.

Qi Lan immediately explained:

"It's like this. I told my mine manager friend on the other side of the Chita River that you are my new boyfriend..."

Said, Qi Lan held up the wine glass.

A pair of winking eyes glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.

I smiled and didn't speak.

In fact, I'm used to this identity now.

Of course, these were all tortured by Tao Hua.

Every time I went out to play with her, she introduced it like this.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Qi Lan continued:

"The Qita River is actually quite chaotic, and it is known as the Little Xiangjiang River. Although the place is not big, the population is less than one million. However, the local casinos and gambling stalls are no less than those in Habei City. A few years ago, a Bole City was opened. You know, it was officially supported by the government. It was open 24 hours a day. At that time, Hula went to two scammers, and took away more than 400 million yuan in Bole City in one night!"

"so much?"

I couldn't help being surprised.

More than 400 million in the past nine years, no matter who it is, it is not a small sum of money.

"Yeah, but when I was going back, I drove halfway and was stopped by someone. Not only did the money be robbed, but the lives of the two of them were also lost! One of them was a scammer, and his family had some background. Later, he found the province. The other party lost a sum of money. This Bole City was also closed. From then on, it went underground..."

I listened and couldn't help frowning secretly.

Unexpectedly, the place here is so dark.

"Then let's go to the game this time, can we take away the money we win?"

Qi Lan took a sip of wine, smiled confidently, and said softly:

"Don't worry, it's fine. We're a private bureau this time. We won't go to the venue. Besides, these coal bosses are very familiar with me and have a good relationship. Coal prices were very low a few years ago, and coal was not easy to sell. He and I helped these bosses sell a lot of coal. This time, the two of us also went for the reason of purchasing heating coal..."

I nodded slightly and asked again:

"What do they usually play in their games?"

"Push the pair, push the bobbin more. I also play poker. The game is very clean and fat. I have been with him a few times before, and everyone will play for a few days each time. Every time the win or loss is not small. So , you don't have to worry about this..."

"Oh, that's right. You also said yesterday that you were going to Chita River. What are you going to do?"

Sister Lan asked again.

"Looking for an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years..."

I didn't tell Qi Lan the truth.

Even, I didn't even tell Lao Hei and the others.

After all, if you export it, you will run with the wind.

I won't tell anyone until I find the other party.

"Can I help you?"

I smiled and shook my head.

The train had already started, Qi Lan got up and went to the bathroom.

When we came back, we chatted for a while.

Qi Lan took the handbag and wanted to check the phone.

Seeing this, she suddenly said:

"Why is my phone missing? Give me a call and see..."

I took out my phone and looked at it and said:

"No, I can't call. There is no signal in this section..."

Qi Lan was busy looking for it again.

Only after looking at it did he realize that there was an extra gap on the side of the handbag.

Obviously, the purse was scratched and the phone was stolen.
