my wolf

Li Yan ordered a western restaurant with beautiful decoration and quiet environment.

The waiter led the way, and Xu Luowen saw Li Yan smiling and waving at him from afar.

Taking off his coat and sitting down, Xu Luowen smiled and said, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see," Li Yan stared at him, "You've lost weight."

Xu Luowen said in a low voice, "I gained [-] pounds when I was pregnant, and I've been trying to lose weight recently."

Li Yan asked with a smile: "How did you reduce it?"

Xu Luowen said, "I won't eat."

Li Yan said: "It's okay if you don't eat, you should go to the gym with me to exercise."

Xu Luowen said with a smile: "Please forgive me, I am tired of exercising."

Li Yan was curious: "Then why were you so thin before?"

Xu Luowen said: "Because I have to run around to take pictures, and occasionally trek through mountains and rivers, it is also a kind of exercise invisibly."

The waiter brought the menu, and the two ordered their own food. After the waiter left, Xu Luowen couldn't wait to say, "Quickly show me your super power."

Li Yan looked around, and finally pointed to the couple at the table by the window and whispered, "That man is going to propose to his girlfriend, just watch."

Xu Luowen watched the couple closely, and after a while, the man really took out a ring from his pocket and knelt down on one knee to propose to the woman.

Li Yan whispered again: "This woman was very touched, and then she rejected him."

Because of the distance, Xu Luowen couldn't hear what was said there, but not long after, the woman got up and left, while the man was still kneeling on one knee and holding the ring, looking devastated, obviously rejected.

"Damn it," Xu Luowen opened his mouth wide in surprise, "You really know how to read minds?"

Li Yan was probably amused by his expression, lying on the table and laughing loudly.

Xu Luowen was confused by his laughter, and stretched out his hand to push him: "Hello!"

Li Yan laughed enough, straightened his back, and said, "I was kidding you. I didn't expect you to believe me. If I really knew how to read minds, I would be a trader. I would have gone to be a superhero to save the world."

Xu Luowen was so angry that he punched him: "I knew it! Liar!" He couldn't help being curious: "Then how did you know that man proposed marriage?"

Li Yan said with a smile: "Before you came, I went to the bathroom and saw that buddy standing in front of the mirror practicing what he would say when he proposed."

Xu Luowen asked again: "Then how did you know that woman would refuse?"

Li Yan said: "Because I passed by that table when I came back from the bathroom, and heard that woman was on the phone with someone, and her words were ambiguous and explicit. She just used this man as a string of money, and she didn't really like him at all."

Xu Luowen: "...you have such a deep routine."

Li Yan said with a smile: "Teasing you to make you happy, don't be angry."

Xu Luowen snorted and said, "I don't get angry so easily. By the way, how is your dad recently?"

Li Yan said, "Very good."

Xu Luo paused for a moment when he wanted to speak, and then asked, "Is your father still in touch with your grandfather?"

"Probably not, I don't know very well," Li Yan looked up at him, "Why do you ask this?"

Xu Luowen said: "The last time I was at your house, your father guessed that Bai Lang's parents were not dead, but were arrested by wolfhunters for research. Later, Bai Lang made a special trip to K City, but found nothing. I just thought, your grandfather is a wolf hunter, maybe we can find some clues from him."

Li Yan's expression was a bit dignified: "You want to help Bai Lang find his parents?"

Xu Luowen nodded: "He has a serious job, and he's usually very busy, so he can't get away. I'm a freelancer, free-wheeling, and I can go wherever I want, so I want to help him. I remember your dad I said, your grandfather's family is in G City, and his name is Li Lijun, right?"

"That's right." Li Yan was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "How do you want to check? Do you have a plan?"

Xu Luowen shook his head: "I don't have any clues yet, but I'm not in a hurry. The Chinese New Year will be in [-] days. I plan to start this matter after the Chinese New Year."

Li Yan said: "At that time, if there is anything I can help with, just ask."

"Okay," Xu Luowen said, "thank you."

The meal is served.

The two chatted while eating, very happy.

After dinner, each drove home.

When passing by the alley of Bai Chengli's house, Xu Luowen parked the car on the side of the road, wondering whether to meet Bai Lang.He missed him a little bit, really a little bit.But for what reason?If I had known that something had been left there during the day, I would have had an excuse to come to the door now.After thinking about it, I couldn't think of a suitable reason, so I had to give up and drive home.

When I walked into the elevator, I was inexplicably depressed.

However, when he got out of the elevator and saw the person sitting in front of the door, his gloom disappeared instantly.

Bai Lang sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a brick-shaped "Xinhua Dictionary" and was reading. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and smiled, "You're back." He stood up, patted his buttocks, and complained casually, "Why does it take so long to eat a meal?"

Xu Luowen asked hesitantly, "What are you doing here?"

Bai Lang said: "Wait for you, and accompany my son by the way."

Xu Luowen stood dumbfounded for a while before taking out the key to open the door, and got out just as the door was pushed open.

Bai Lang bent down to pick up Baa-baa, kissed him for a moment, put Baa-baa into Xu Luowen's arms, and said, "I'm going home."

"Huh?" Xu Luowen was a little taken aback.He had been waiting for him for so long, and he finally got someone, but he wanted to leave?

Bai Lang said: "Although I really want to stay with you for a while longer, I know that you don't want to be alone with me. Actually... I am also worried that I will lose control and do something that will hurt you."

Xu Luowen was silent for two seconds, and asked in a low voice, "Well... when will your estrus period end?"

Bai Lang said: "It should be over after the Spring Festival, and then you don't have to be afraid of me."

Xu Luo Wenxin said that I'm not afraid of you now, but he couldn't say it. He said "wait for me" and ran into the house with his arms in his arms. He quickly ran out again and handed Bai Lang a key: "This is the key." It is the spare key of my house, I will give it to you for safekeeping, and if I lose my key, I can ask you for it.” He paused, then added in a murmur: “And…you have to wait until I can come home Wait, don't sit outside. I know you are not afraid of the cold, but the light outside is not good, so be careful reading a book as myopia. That's it, bye!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Luowen entered the room and closed the door in one go.

After staying for two seconds, he leaned over to the cat's eye and looked out. Bai Lang was still standing there, staring blankly at the key in his hand.

Xu Luowen laughed, and whispered, "Silly wolf."

After taking a shower and going to bed, Xu Luowen picked up his phone, checked Weibo for a while, and suddenly remembered the photo he took in the afternoon, and wanted to post on Moments after a long absence.The last time he posted on Moments seems to have been three months ago.

Open the album, click on the photos, there are him, a snowman, and a jujube tree in the photo, and Liu Er, who is hanging a golden hook upside down on the jujube tree, also shows a fluffy monkey head.Click to share to Moments, and I don’t have anything to say, so I clicked the two snowman expressions from the emoji, and clicked to publish.

Tan Jiaying liked it almost instantly, and after waiting for a while, Bai Lang also liked it.

Satisfied, Xu Luowen locked his phone and prepared to go to bed, but before he could put it down, the phone rang suddenly.

Anyone who would call him at such a late hour should not think of him except Tan Jia.

As soon as he answered, Tan Jiaying's screams came from the receiver immediately, like a magic voice piercing his ears, Xu Luowen was so frightened that he hurriedly moved the phone away.

"Ahhh!!! Xiao wanted to propose to me!!! Just now!!! I was so happy that I was about to explode on the spot!!!"

Suddenly being stuffed with a big mouthful of dog food, Xu Luowen lost all sleepiness, he could almost imagine Tan Jiaying jumping and jumping excitedly, he was sincerely happy for Tan Jiaying, and also infected by Tan Jiaying's happiness.

"Be more reserved," Xu Luowen said with a smile, "Don't scare Xiao Xiang away."

"He dares to run! Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I will chase him back!" Tan Jiaying still yelled, "Luo Wen, I am so happy! I feel that I am the happiest man in the world now I really want the whole world to know my happiness!"

Xu Luowen said: "You will always be the happiest man in the world."

Xiao Xiang's voice suddenly came from over there: "Tan Jiaying! Get the fuck out of here! You're so embarrassing!"

Xu Luowen smiled and said, "Your husband is calling you, go quickly."

After hanging up the phone over there, Xu Luowen smiled for a while, opened Moments, deleted the one he just posted, and reposted a new one. It was still the same photo and the emoji expressions of the two snowmen, but he added a sentence at the end: What a beautiful day.

·

In the morning of the next day, Xu Luowen received a call from Jiang Yuhe, saying that "Qi Qi" has been published and listed, and the planned signing event will also be held as scheduled, and the specific time and place have been emailed to him. Let him read it By the way, send a Weibo to promote it.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Luowen sat on the sofa with his laptop in his arms and checked his emails.

There will be a total of three signing sessions.

The first round, on January 1, is in City C.

The second round, on January 1, is in H City.

The third match, on January 1, is in City G.

City H and City G, why such a coincidence?

These two cities have both appeared in the past told by Li Tan.

Since it's such a coincidence, why not take this opportunity to investigate the whereabouts of Bai Lang's parents?

Remembering Jiang Yuhe's instructions, Xu Luowen logged on to the Weibo page, copied and pasted it, edited it, posted a promotional Weibo for the signing event, then closed the web page, created a new document on the desktop, and planned to sort out the history of that period of time context.

Xu Luowen has always had a good memory, he was typing on the document while recalling Li Tan's narration that night.

City H, summer, flu, clinic, Li Chunxing, Pei Zhanqi, Tian Youwei, expensive medicine, war, bandits, Pei Zhanqi's family were killed.

City G, Li Chunxing, Werewolf Manual, Li Xueyin, Li Lijun, doctor, blood coagulation injection.

After simply sorting out the personnel situation, Xu Luowen opened the webpage and searched for keywords such as "Pei Zhanqi, Li Chunxing, Influenza, Werewolf". They couldn't find anything, but they also saw an article praising Pei and Li's great achievements in saving lives and helping the wounded, which made Xu Luowen very sick.

He searched for "Li Lijun" again and recorded the key information.

Li Lijun, the president of Anhe Hospital in G City, the vice president of Anhe Medical College, and a famous professor.

Xu Luowen looked at the information recorded in the document and thought over and over where to start the investigation.For a long time, he fixed his eyes on the words "Werewolf Handbook".

According to Li Tan, before he died, Li Chunxing wrote down everything he knew about werewolves in a book, and then passed it on to his son Li Xueyin, and left his last words, making wolf hunting a must for generations of the Li family. thing.

Then this "Werewolf Handbook" must have been passed down from generation to generation, and it should be in Li Lijun's hands now.

Li Chunxing and Tian Youwei lived in the same era, he is the most likely person to know Tian Youwei's whereabouts, maybe it was written in the "Werewolf Handbook".

But, how can I get the "Werewolf Handbook"?

Steal?

Not to mention that he doesn't have this skill, even if he has this skill, he doesn't know what the manual looks like.

After much deliberation, I still have to ask Li Tan.

Xu Luowen called Li Tan and asked him to meet, but Li Tan didn't ask what's the matter, and asked him to go to the hospital to find him at noon.

Looking at the time, it was already eleven o'clock, and it was just right now.

He changed his clothes, hugged Baa Baa and led Ah Huang, planning to put the two little guys to Bai Chengli's place first.After seeing Li Tan, he still wanted to kidnap Tan Jiaying's house. In just two days, this guy felt great sadness and joy at first. He must have a lot to talk to him. He should take the initiative to send him to make a tree hole.

When I arrived at Bai Chengli's house, I saw the old man sitting alone in the yard basking in the sun.

"Uncle Bai," Xu Luowen said, "I'm going out, and I want to leave Baa Baa and Ah Huang with you for a long time."

Bai Chengli said: "I'll make sure you look after it, don't worry."

Xu Luowen put the baa on the ground, and asked casually, "Did Aunt Shao come over today?"

Bai Chengli said "ah" with a strange expression, paused for two seconds, and said, "Xiaowen, come and sit with me for a while."

Xu Luowen moved a bench and sat obediently next to him, and Bai Chengli asked, "Xiaowen, are your parents still there?"

Xu Luowen said: "My parents died in a car accident when I was seven years old."

Bai Chengli patted his head, sighed, and said, "Poor boy."

Xu Luowen smiled: "I have long forgotten those sad things."

Bai Chengli asked: "Then who did you grow up with?"

Xu Luowen said: "My parents have no relatives. After they left, I lived in a children's welfare home for a few years, and was taken over by my young parents for a few years. I have lived by myself since I was 15 years old."

Bai Chengli looked at him lovingly: "Your life experience is very similar to Bai Lang's. He also grew up without father and mother, but he is more miserable than you. He wanders around like a stray cat and dog, with no one to rely on. , begging for a living, being bullied all the time, and starting to work as a coolie when I grow up, I never had a good day."

Xu Luowen: "..."

Is it necessary to make up one's life experience so miserable?

But... the reality seems to be much more miserable than lies.

Xu Luowen said: "Fortunately, he met you, and he has lived a good life ever since."

Bai Chengli smiled: "We are both fallen people in the end of the world, but we are just redeeming each other. If I hadn't met him, I would not be in this world long ago."

Xu Luowen was silent for a moment, and said, "Why are you bringing up these sad things?"

Bai Chengli sighed with a smile, and said, "I can't make up my mind about an important matter. I originally wanted to ask your opinion, but now it seems that asking you is useless."

"Tell me," Xu Luowen said, "Maybe I can offer some constructive suggestions."

"No need," Bai Chengli patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Go ahead."

Xu Luowen didn't insist anymore, got up and left.

It was past twelve o'clock when he arrived at the hospital, so he went straight to Li Tan's office.

Knocking on the door and entering, seeing Li Tan sitting behind his desk eating, Xu Luowen hurriedly said, "I'd better wait until you finish eating before coming over."

Li Tan beckoned him to come in: "A lot of people got sick years ago, I only have lunch at noon and now I have time, let's talk while eating, tell me, what's going on this time?"

Xu Luowen didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "I want to get the 'Werewolf Handbook' handed down by your great-grandfather Li Chunxing, so I want to ask you, what should I do?"

Li Tan put down his chopsticks and looked at him with a frown: "Why do you want that manual?"

Xu Luowen said, "I want to help Bai Lang find his parents."
