chaotic world

It was three poles high in the sun and the sun was shining brightly. The sound of sweeping the courtyard was transmitted upstairs by the sweeper. Zhou Lan opened his eyes dimly. The room was still dark, and the thick curtains were drawn tightly. If the curtains were not drawn, it should have been drawn by Yunfeng in the morning.

He drank a lot last night and really needed a good night's sleep.Zhou Lan smiled, turned from lying on his side to lying on his back, and then he paused slightly, a little strange, but not very painful.

Du Yunfeng didn't enjoy himself last night. He knew that the other party had been cautious.

There was a bang in the study next door on the second floor. It was the sound of Du Yunfeng jumping off the door frame and landing his feet on the ground.

Earlier, when the sky was getting dark, Du Yunfeng set up the tent again, and wanted to strike while the iron was hot and try again. He sneaked a look under Zhou Lan while he was asleep. The place was slightly swollen, and the skin that was originally tender and porcelain was glowing red. , obviously stimulated by friction last night.

Du Yunfeng was not willing to strike at him again, he backhanded the guy who held his chest up and pinched his waist without looking at the timing, but the guy held his head upright and proud, showing a firm demeanor.

Afraid that if he kept his mind active, he would not be able to hold back his hands and feet, so he got up lightly, covered the other party with a quilt, and drew the curtains tightly. He ran into the garden and sweated, stretched out After a lot of tossing with arms and legs, I didn't feel satisfied. I ran to the backyard and pulled out a few little brothers who were lying in bed from the bed, pulling and pulling them up, and got up sleepily to exercise.

Since entering this compound, everyone has been lazy. Today, a group of people with disheveled clothes and eye feces accompanied Boss Du to run and punch. Jin Xiaoman almost ran with his eyes closed, and stumbled all the way to Boss Du.

It's no wonder that someone else bumped into him, Du Yunfeng had nowhere to use his energy, so he used it all on Jin Xiaoman, kicking and tripping a few times, Jin Xiaoman regained consciousness with grinning teeth.

"Big brother, it's broken, it's broken." Jin Xiaoman hummed, one arm twisted behind his back at an uncomfortable angle.

"If you don't practice kung fu, that little wrestling ability will be useless. Look at you, you have gained a lot of weight." Du Yunfeng gritted his teeth, and locked Jin Xiaoman on the ground with his arms and legs.

"Fat, it's good to be fat, plump, plump..." Jin Xiaoman winked, and turned over vigorously, Du Yunfeng was thrown by him, and then he threw himself to pinch him firmly.

Jin Xiaoman begged for mercy. It really didn't work after a long time. He spoke slowly, and his brain was not slow. He started to mention good things, from the wait on the saddle and the horse, to the little secret of foreign wine and medicine powder.

It’s okay if you don’t mention it, Du Yunfeng got hot when he mentioned it, he suppressed the other party, and lowered his voice: "You take it away yourself, I don’t need it"

"Ah?" Jin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look, with the look that you haven't succeeded yet.

Du Yunfeng twisted hard, the opponent's bones creaked, Jin Xiaoman groaned, Du Yunfeng said with all his strength: "Fuck, there is only one I don't want to ride, there is nothing I can't ride, and you can't fall if you don't drink it. The ass can't take it either." He always spoke roughly with the people below.

Jin Xiaoman's heart turned, and he opened his voice and shouted: "Army, military division, save..." Du Yunfeng immediately covered his mouth: "What are you shouting, I will beat you to death if you start arguing with him."

Between loosening and covering, Jin Xiaoman got away, turned his head and ran, until he ran behind Li Bonian who had just left the door: "Third, third shopkeeper, help, help!"

Li Bonian is older than Du Yunfeng. He is usually low-key and not talkative, but he is very considerate. He has followed Du Yunfeng since he came out of the mine, and respected him as the eldest brother according to the rules in the lock. What he said has always been heard by Du Yunfeng. serving size.

After waving Jin Xiaoman away, Li Bonian planned to discuss it with the sweaty Du Yunfeng. After half a year of squandering, the Cheng family's fortune was quickly settled.

After muttering a few words with Li Bainian, Du Yunfeng knew in his mind that the sun was good. He returned to the front yard, went upstairs gently, and looked in at the door of the bedroom like a thief. Seeing that Zhou Lan was still sleeping, he continued to run to the bedroom. Do push-ups in the study room. For Zhou Lan, this study room is a place for writing and drawing, and for him it is a spacious place to stretch his arms and stretch his legs.

Drenched all over, he ran to the bathroom to take a shower, and returned to the bedroom smelling fresh and fragrant.

Zhou Lan rubbed his eyes and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, the quilt casually covering his waist, the mermaid line on his lower abdomen was slightly exposed, showing that he was smooth and smooth, he frankly, from the bedside drawer Taking out a cigarette, he put one in his mouth. Du Yunfeng immediately threw down the towel, quickly lit a match, and bent over to hand it to him.

Zhou Lan inhaled the fire, and the round, red fire head flourished. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke, the smoke rose, and then raised his eyelashes, and looked directly at Du Yunfeng who was close at hand. Trembling, I couldn't catch it, and my eyes dodged for a while.

Zhou Lan reached out and touched Du Yunfeng's cheek and neck: "Why, I let you sleep with me, are you still shy?"

Having said that, Du Yunfeng's blushing face turned red, and he didn't know why he was blushing, he was not a good man or a faithful woman, he had always been among flowers without a single leaf on his body, but he was suddenly ashamed, and he didn't know where the shame came from Come, where to go.

He just tilted his head, hesitated for a long time, then turned around and hugged Zhou Lan: "It's really good, it's really good, I used to think that if I came with you once, my wish would be fulfilled, but now I feel...not enough... ...a lifetime is not enough." He rubbed Zhou Lan's hair with his chin. A long time ago, he taught Zhou Lan to ride a horse, and the other party's hair rubbed against him like this. around.

Zhou Lan turned her head and continued to take a puff of cigarette, then put the cigarette into Du Yunfeng's mouth: "Then it will be forever."

The red candle on the chest of drawers has long been burned out, and the wax oil has flowed out into a soft shape. It is best to have a wedding candle in the bridal chamber once in a lifetime, and it will last for a lifetime.

Du Yunfeng insisted on holding Zhou Lan to wash up, as if treating a new daughter-in-law, wishing to hold him in his arms all the time, reluctant to let him go to the ground, reluctant to let him stretch out his hand.

"Stay away from me, why are you so clingy?" Zhou Lan dressed impatiently by herself, walked back from the bathroom wearing slippers, stepping on the broken glass all over the floor, Du Yunfeng always wanted to hug him: "You stick What about the feet?"

"You dare to hug me again today, I'm really upset." Zhou Lan pointed at Du Yunfeng's nose from a distance, and then went down the stairs on his own. When he turned his head, Du Yunfeng followed closely.

It wasn't until lunch time that the sticky Du Yunfeng mentioned what Li Bonian said. Zhou Lan ate while listening to him. Before he finished speaking, Zhou Lan knocked on Du Yunfeng's bowl with chopsticks: "Don't worry, let's talk first." eat"

Du Yunfeng took the chopsticks but didn't stuff them into his mouth: "It seems that the cost of half a year is quite high. I will have to do the calculations later. There is not enough gold and silver."

Zhou Lan put down her chopsticks, put her hands on her knees, and stared at Du Yunfeng's bowl of rice seriously.

Du Yunfeng immediately took the bowl, took a big bite with chopsticks, and secretly glanced at Zhou Lan.

Seeing that the other party was eating well, Zhou Lan picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat: "I have been keeping accounts, I know what I know, don't worry, but it is true to sit and eat, we have to make a living."

"When did you keep the account? Why don't I know?" Du Yunfeng was very surprised.

Zhou Lan smiled: "Money is the foundation of one's life, why don't you have this string?" He had a smile in his eyes, a pair of very beautiful eyes, with a warm temperature.

Zhou Lan's accounts have always been very detailed. Although the things in the Cheng family compound are not calculated carefully, they are basically clear. Du Yunfeng's hands are flowing out, and Zhou Lan doesn't ask where they are, but he knows exactly how much.

Two NO.30 people are delicious and delicious, and they are not ordinary delicious and delicious.When they first entered the compound, everyone got a lot of money by sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils. Zhou Lan knew everyone's address because he wrote a letter before, so he didn't lose money at the end of the year, and it was not a small amount.

There is no income, and the output is huge, so Zhou Lan's account is one-way, and he can only use subtraction for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

I have a gun in my hand, but I no longer bother to rob the villagers. It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. If you don’t have enough teeth, you can rob the big family, but there is no big family bigger than the Cheng family. Gnaw the bones.

People who have taken a shortcut don't want to go far, it is against themselves.

Almost involuntarily, they thought of a book of good things in the back warehouse, Indian red clay, such as Zhou Lan, such as Li Bonian.

Zhou Lan and Du Yunfeng shared their ideas, and Du Yunfeng said yes without even thinking about it. Compared with murder and arson, selling tobacco is a good business for civilization, but the problem of who to sell to and how to sell needs to be resolved.

Originally, according to Zhou Lan's plan, he would not let any of the people and animals in the warehouse in the backyard be spared, but he had been forgetting himself in Wenchang Pavilion some time ago, and couldn't care about that side.Under Du Yunfeng's instruction, the dozens of couples in the backyard were dealt with pretty much the same. Most of the family members who were related to the Cheng family didn't die well. Several concubines were also harmed by the young men under their hands, and they were all sold in the kiln. up.The rest of the servants have been in prison for so long, and it is a blessing in misfortune to be released by the bandits who cannibalize people. After leaving the big courtyard, they moved with their families and never heard from them.

When Zhou Lan came back to his senses, there were not many people in the warehouse, but he secretly rejoiced that the people who could be used were still alive. Li Butler, who had a slender face and eyes, now even has a slender figure, and his whole person is like a bamboo pole. , Open the door a crack and people can squeeze out without scratching or touching.

There is no need to wait on him with great punishment. He knows everything and talks endlessly.

According to Steward Li, the smoke and soil came from Jardine Matheson in Shanghai, and they were transported by the British to Shanghai by sea, then secretly transferred to Tianjin, and then transported in small batches through Shanhaiguan until Fengtian, because the Japanese Kwantung Army also had many factions. So when the money is in place, there will be a private cooperation. Of course, the cost of smoking soil will also be greatly increased after passing through customs.

How much tobacco and soil the Cheng family bought, what was the price, and who to contact, Zhou Lan went back and forth for several days thinking about what Butler Li said and the books in the study, and finally decided that the business could be done.

Because of the long break, it is impossible for Jardine Matheson to take risks with new buyers, so this first business trip has to be done by yourself. Zhou Lan and Du Yunfeng plan to go back to Tianjin. Li Bonian is watching Fengtian, and there is a phone at home. Before leaving, Du Yunfeng said to Butler Li: "If you dare to hide or talk nonsense," he held Butler Li by the back of his neck, pointed at the big mill in the kitchen, and said succinctly: " What kind of bulgur is what you like."

Departed at noon and arrived in Fengtian City in the afternoon. First, I went to the train station to buy a ticket. Since it took a day and night train, Du Yunfeng bought a ticket for the next day's departure.

Zhou Lan didn't object, because his birthday was here, and he knew that Xiao Yunfeng didn't want to celebrate this birthday for him on the train.At this time last year, he was quitting opium, his health was not good, and his mind was so foggy that Du Yunfeng mentioned that he was fed a bowl of longevity noodles, but he didn't have the slightest impression.

So Du Yunfeng wants to celebrate his 20th birthday in Fengtian.

"How is it easy?" Zhou Lan asked after leaving the ticket office.Du Yunfeng smiled and ran to the front of the car, Hei Si'er had already opened the rear door, Du Yunfeng leaned over and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhou Lan got in the car, Du Yunfeng closed the door, and got into the car on the other side. He put his long arms on the back of the back seat. There was not much space in the car, so he became a half-hugging posture. Du Yunfeng tilted his head: " Let's go to Dingchang Hotel tonight, I have called and reserved a table, how about it?"

Zhou Lan looked at him: "You've already made an order, why don't you ask how it is?" After that, he turned his head and looked out of the car window with a smile. Du Yunfeng must have reserved more than tables. He just couldn't forget what he couldn't get two years ago. It is said that it is for Zhou Lan's birthday, but in fact he wants to revisit his old place and relive his mandarin dream.

Because of the smile, the corners of Zhou Lan's mouth are slightly raised, with a perfect arc, and the eyelashes on the side face are long and thick. Because they are too thick, the roots of the eyelashes seem to have been painted with green ink, making a pair of big eyes black and white and vivid, especially the few at the end of the eyes. The eyelashes were raised for no reason, with a faintly cold charm.

Du Yunfeng thought that Zhou Lan was the president, with less and smooth hair on his body, but black and thick hair and eyebrows on his face, the place where it should grow is just right, and the place where it should not grow is not messy. This is really a natural good embryo, a magical creation , He even wanted to take off Zhou Lan's clothes right away and admire them all again.

He licked his lips, glanced at Hei Si'er who was driving, and Hei Si'er received the slash, and immediately adjusted the rearview mirror of the car to the sky without looking sideways.

Du Yunfeng stretched his neck and took a sip. Zhou Lan was caught off guard, and subconsciously put his hand away: "Don't make trouble."

"Okay, don't make trouble." Du Yunfeng has already rubbed into the middle of the seat, sat down with a serious face, and silently reached out to touch the other's thigh. Kneading and teasing people faintly.

The train station is not far from the Dingchang Hotel. Hei Sier brought the waiter to carry the luggage. Because Du Yunfeng had already booked the room, Hei Sier opened a suite for himself on the fourth floor—he and all the Heiyingshan Like brothers, there are expensive ones but not cheap ones. The elder brother lives in the only luxury suite on the fifth floor, so he doesn't treat himself badly if he opens an ordinary suite downstairs.

Boss Du told him to take care of himself, so he ran away without a trace after eating, and no matter how Du Yunfeng drove later, he couldn't find him.

"Hei Si'er is not as reliable as Jin Xiaoman," Du Yunfeng opened the door and complained, "I don't know where to play."

Zhou Lan smiled. Hei Si'er and Jin Xiaoman were the closest to Zhou Lan among Du Yunfeng's younger brothers. Hei Si'er had a lot of eyes, and Zhou Lan had noticed it secretly. He was not an unreliable person.

"Hei Si'er has a clear heart," he said, "he's afraid that he's here to block your eyes."

"Really?" Du Yunfeng scratched his hair embarrassingly, and laughed, the meaning of "obstructing eyes" is very ambiguous.

There is only one top-level suite on the top floor, the room is spacious and luxurious, decorated in Russian style, the marble floor is covered with red and yellow patterned wool carpet, which is soft and elastic when people walk on it, the living room is magnificent, the back of the high-back sofa is almost It is as tall as a person, with golden wave-like flowers bordering it, under the high dome is a complex crystal chandelier, countless crystal pendants, between the living room and the balcony is a tall glass folding door and a golden red pattern of palace tassels The curtains are all open at this moment, and you can look out to the open-air garden outside.

Compared with the luxurious room, the outside garden is too big, the flower beds and small ponds are very small, the area of ​​the empty space is only the size of a few dining tables, the three sides are surrounded by white jade openwork fences, and the bustling Fengtian Street is downstairs. People come and go.

The waiter had already set up the dining table on the roof garden early. The dishes were not unfamiliar, they all looked like Zhou Lan's birthday, even the wine was the same.

Zhou Lan didn't think it would be so grand to celebrate a birthday. In fact, deep down in his heart, he wasn't sure when his birthday was. His mother would hug him back on this day, and Yunfeng always thought it was this day, so he simply We assume that it is today.

He took off his suit and changed into Chinese-style linen clothes with loose middle-breasted buttons and the top button left open casually, and went to the balcony garden in slippers.

Passing through the spacious living room, he saw Du Yunfeng's back. At this moment, Du Yunfeng was standing by the white jade fence, a handsome figure with broad shoulders and broad back.

The rare fine weather, no wind or rain, the sun sets, the white light turns into golden light, and when the golden light meets the clouds in half the sky, it softens and turns into the rose color of half the sky.

He is wearing a crisp dark suit and a gold pocket watch chain on his chest. He thinks that he should wear it carefully on grand occasions, and today he wears a tie carefully. The tailor's original intention can always be best expressed when the clothes of the right style are put on his body.

Zhou Lan always knew that as long as Du Yunfeng didn't lean against the door frame, didn't sit on the table, didn't sway, and stood up straight, he was a good-looking talent.

"I don't feel well, so I changed my clothes." Zhou Lan stood at the glass door, a little hesitant, feeling that Du Yunfeng was so grand that he was a bit abrupt.

Du Yunfeng turned his head, the setting sun softened half of his face, healthy and good-looking: "You can dress as comfortable as you want."

Zhou Lan's white linen clothes turned rose-colored the moment she stepped into the balcony garden.

After dismissing the waiter, Du Yunfeng poured the wine himself. He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his cuffs, and poured the bottle slowly with a tablecloth on it, imitating a gentleman.

After the crisp glassware collided, Zhou Lan finally tasted the wine when he saw it for the third time in his life.

His tongue slid over his teeth, and he hummed in a nasal voice, and he said with emotion: "It tastes so good."

Du Yunfeng smiled contentedly, and suddenly felt that the candlestick on the table was in the way. He half-lyed on the table to reach it, blew it out and threw it on the ground, then calmly picked up the steak with a fork, and took a real big bite.

"Well," he snorted excitedly, pointed at Zhou Lan's plate with the fork, "the steak is delicious, eat it while it's hot."

The gentleman pretended for a few minutes before showing his original shape. Zhou Lan smiled, lowered his head and took a knife and fork to cut his steak roughly. He picked up the silver seasoning box by the table and shook it. He stood up and held the plate. Walking to Du Yunfeng's side, he picked up Du Yunfeng's plate, and put down his cut plate: "I sprinkled some sea salt, you will like it."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the opposite side with the gnawed steak, cleaned it up slowly, and when the fork was in his mouth, he raised his eyes and said, "I cut it twice, do you understand? Unless you plan to let me eat it for the rest of my life." What's left of you."

Du Yunfeng chuckled: "I'll learn."

The food was exquisite and delicious. Du Yunfeng followed Zhou Lan's example and ate in a gentle manner. Although he would gobble it up occasionally, he would soon control it.

When there was a knock on the door, Du Yunfeng made individual gestures and went to the living room to open the door. Zhou Lan sat there with peace of mind. If he guessed correctly, it should be the same dining car and cake as last time. It has been two years since then.

Looking at the door, Zhou Lan frowned. There was no waiter, and the figure at the door was familiar. A little brother who wandered around the Cheng family courtyard every day saw Du Yunfeng waving away with a wave of his hand, and then carrying a small paper Box, wagging his head and returning to the balcony.

"Birthday cake!" Du Yunfeng put the cake box in front of Zhou Lan, with Shilin's ribbon, Qishilin's packaging box, and Qishilin's cake. The cake is very small, about the size of two children.

"I asked someone to go back to Tianjin to order it. Fortunately, the weather is not hot. The butter will not go bad all day and night. We have eaten that kind when we were young." After speaking, he took out a thin candle from the box, plugged it in and lit it: " Xiao Muan, happy 20th birthday."

It's like going back to my teenage years and nothing has changed.Zhou Lan cut the cake and fed it to Du Yunfeng with the first bite.

The cake melted in his mouth. Du Yunfeng took the cake plate in Zhou Lan's hand and put it aside. He knelt down on one knee in a suit and leather shoes, took out a small red velvet box from his pocket, and looked at Zhou Lan with a serious face. Open: "The wedding ceremony is over, I don't know if it's too late."

Inside is a pair of rings, because they are put together, you can see the subtle size difference, the style is ordinary, there is no complicated pattern, each is inlaid with a diamond of the same size, the diamond is not eye-catching, and looks simple.

Zhou Lan looked at the ring, looked at Du Yunfeng, and smiled thoughtfully: "This really treats me like a little girl to propose marriage."

Du Yunfeng raised his head, with sincerity in his eyes, he took off a ring, pulled Zhou Lan's left hand and put it on his ring finger: "I promised to sleep for the rest of my life, I'm afraid you will go back on your word, and you have to have a witness." Went up and it was just the right size.

Du Yunfeng continued to hold the box in his hand, shaking it in front of Zhou Lan's eyes, Zhou Lan took out the ring with a smile, Du Yunfeng threw the box away, and actively sent his finger up, Zhou Lan stopped his hand, and said very formally Said: "Du Yunfeng, are you willing to marry me?"

Du Yunfeng stared at the ring, and quickly stretched out his hand to put it on: "Master, don't make trouble, put it on for me quickly."

Zhou Lan held the ring in the palm of his hand and teased a child: "Marry or not? Huh? Come on, marry or not?" Suddenly he made a straight face and said, "Forget it if you don't marry." Throw it over the railing.

Du Yunfeng hastily stretched out his hand to stop him: "Marry!"

But it was too late, a small object fell downstairs in a flash, Du Yunfeng got up and chased to the railing, only to see a flash of light in the distance, and then disappeared.

He was very anxious, frowning and staring at the ground, but he couldn't see clearly at such a height.

Zhou Lan walked to the railing, hugged his waist from behind, and kissed the back of his neck: "Silly!" As he spoke, he took out the ring from the other hand, touched Du Yunfeng's left ring finger, and slid it on: "Do you also feel distressed about the lid of the aperitif?"

Du Yunfeng is not a little girl, but he instantly felt the mood of breaking tears into laughter.

The setting sun hangs down to the horizon, and the rose color turns into fiery red. The fifth floor of Dingchang Hotel is the highest floor on Fengtian Street. Looking out from the garden on the roof, one can see thousands of miles at a glance. The city wall at the top, and farther away are flat land and hills, a round of fiery red sunset, there is the direction of Black Eagle Mountain.

Du Yunfeng turned around, leaned against the fence, and put his arms around Zhou Lan. They hugged each other quietly, looking as far as they could see.

The setting sun fell quickly, as if bouncing and bouncing.
