Return To 1998

In the early morning, Dowling's Grill was closed.

Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglin, and Ge Lianghua rode a tricycle back to their residence. The journey was no different from usual. The three of them chatted and laughed before arriving at the entrance of the small courtyard they rented.

The three got out of the car, Ge Lianghua supported the handlebars, and Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin pushed behind.

So far, everything is still the same as usual.

Until Xu Tonglin suddenly touched Xu Tongdao's arm and whispered, Hey, Xiaodao! Look over there! The light in that guy's house is on tonight. He came to live here today?

As he spoke, he gestured to the room on the east side of the courtyard with his chin.

It was the room that Zheng Qing rented. At this time, there was indeed a bright light in the crack of the door of his room.

Xu Tongdao looked in the direction he indicated, and was a little surprised to see the light shining through the crack of the door of Zheng Qing's room.

They have been renting in this yard for more than a year. They have long been accustomed to Zheng Qing's long-term darkness in that room. Zheng Qing rents that room all the year round, but rarely comes to live there.

In Xu Tonglin's eyes, Zheng Qing was very mysterious.

Mainly because when they saw Zheng Qing for the first time last year, Zheng Qing, who was wearing black clothes, black pants and black shoes, was seriously injured and his chest was bloody.

It doesn't look like a decent person.

Since then, Xu Tonglin has been a little afraid to approach Zheng Qing.

If it wasn't for Xu Tongdao's insistence, Xu Tonglin would not be willing to treat Zheng Qing, mainly because he didn't want to get in trouble.

Later, after Zheng Qing recovered, although he occasionally went to patronize their business, a few days ago, he also went to their store to eat barbecue.

But Xu Tonglin still did not dare to get too close to Zheng Qing.

Now that more than a year has passed, Zheng Qing is still mysterious in Xu Tonglin's eyes.

I don't know what this person is doing, whether there are many enemies outside.

In fact, Xu Tongdao has limited understanding of Zheng Qing so far.

He still doesn't know what Zheng Qing does.

But every time he came into contact with Zheng Qing, he could feel that Zheng Qing had no ill will towards him, and it seemed that Zheng Qing had always remembered his life-saving grace.

This is from Zheng Qing occasionally taking care of his business,

You can see some.

What are you talking about?

Ge Lianghua, who was pushing the cart, turned his head and asked with a curious expression.

Xu Tonglin quickly perfunctory: It's nothing, just a guy who rents a yard with us, here! It's the guy in the easternmost room!

Tongdao Xu didn't want to explain too much to Ge Lianghua, You guys go wash and sleep first! I'll chat with him over there.

Xiaodao! Why are you looking for him?

Xu Tonglin frowned and wanted to persuade Xu Tong to say goodbye.

Ge Lianghua didn't know why, and his expression was puzzled.

But Tongdao Xu had already walked to Zheng Qing's room, You guys should wash up and sleep early! Don't worry about me, I'll be back in a while!

In fact, in the moment just now, Xu Tongdao thought about it, thinking that if he went to open an Internet cafe in the city, he might be able to use Zheng Qing.

As we all know, there are people who go to Internet cafes to play.

Some people who do not walk the right path may cause trouble.

Therefore, he needs someone who can hold the market.

Originally! His cousin Ge Lianghua is a good candidate.

Ge Lianghua has never been frightened by such things as fights. Ordinary people would not dare to fight with him when they saw that Ge Lianghua was tall, dark-skinned, and muscular.

However, now the barbecue shop needs Ge Lianghua, and Ge Lianghua is already responsible for the barbecue here. If he is taken away at this time, the job of the barbecue will fall on his own head, Tongdao Xu.

And he still has to cook those home-cooked dishes, and he can't do it alone.

In fact, Xi Dongyang is almost the same.

After more than half a year of recuperation, Xi Dongyang's body has recovered. Back then, Xi Dongyang, who made the name of Skinny Tiger in Shazhou County, should have no problem going to a small Internet cafe in the city.

Recently, Tongdao Xu also thought about Xi Dongyang in his heart.

But in the end it didn't feel right.

First, Xi Dongyang is now in charge of the cold dishes in his barbecue restaurant, and occasionally cooks for him.

Second, Xi Dongyang's grandfather and grandmother are both old, and his grandfather goes to the hospital every so often. His sister Xi Xiaoqian is in high school, so it is difficult to take time to take care of the family. In this case, he transferred Xi Dongyang to the city It was inappropriate for Xu Tongdao to think about it.

As for who to look for to sit in the upcoming Internet cafe, Tongdao Xu has been thinking about it recently, and he is more inclined to find a brother that Ge Lianghua can trust.

Ge Lianghua used to hang out in the county town, and his love of making friends has allowed him to make many like-minded people.

Xu Tongdao believes that some of his cousin Ge Lianghua's friends should be able to use it.

However, as soon as he saw the light in Zheng Qing's room, he suddenly had a new idea - is Zheng Qing the right person?

He wasn't sure.

Because he doesn't even know what Zheng Qing usually does, how can he be sure that Zheng Qinghe is not suitable to show him an Internet cafe?

In case Zheng Qing also has his own business to take care of, how could it be possible for him to visit a small Internet cafe?

However, Xu Tongdao faintly felt that Zheng Qing should not have his own business.

Perhaps, Zheng Qing is really suitable.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Tongdao came to Zheng Qing's house door and raised his hand to knock.

dong dong

No one in there should answer.

Tongdao Xu frowned slightly, raised his hand and tapped twice, dong dong.

Who?

Zheng Qing's voice finally came out of the room, and Xu Tongdao heard a bit of vigilance in his voice.

Are you afraid that the enemy will come to you?

This thought flashed through Tongdao Xu's mind, It's me! Brother Qing, open the door for me!

Oh, it's Xiaodao! Wait a minute!

Zheng Qing's voice relaxed a lot, and then Xu Tongdao heard a small noise inside, followed by footsteps coming towards the door, Zheng Qing seemed to be walking unhurriedly, Xu Tongdao waited for a while before the door was opened.

Zheng Qing, who was still wearing black clothes and black trousers, appeared in front of Tongdao Xu, his face was a little pale, and there was still some blood on his hands...

Tongdao Xu frowned, Brother Qing, what's wrong with you? Are you injured again? Are your hands okay?

Zheng Qing squeezed a smile on his pale face, shook his head slightly, turned his body sideways, and gestured, Come in and sit! Come in and talk!

Turning sideways was a very simple movement, but Tongdao Xu noticed that Zheng Qing was difficult to turn sideways, with a look of pain on his face, and he struggled to lift his right foot.

Tongdao Xu looked at his right leg and right foot, and suddenly noticed that his black trousers were wet and there was a gap, and Zheng Qing's right thigh was injured.

Tongdao Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he walked into the room quickly, helping him close the door, and asked in a low voice, Brother Qing, what's wrong with your leg? Are you seriously injured? Don't you want to go to the hospital this time?

Zheng Qing grinned and smiled silently, It's okay! This time the injury is not serious, but I was stabbed by someone coldly. I was just about to bandage it! You came just in time, help me with it! Can't handle it, it hurts too much!
