Chapter 83 The Beautiful City

When Huo Zian opened his eyes, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.Looking back, You Liangchen was still awake.

You Liangchen can eat, cook, and sleep, which is simply a grand slam of human body functions.Huo Zian couldn't help lamenting that he was old, and after sleeping late, his head felt blurred and his muscles ached.With jealousy, he slapped You Liangchen's butt vigorously, "Get up!"

You Liangchen let out a painful "hmm" and opened one eye.Huo Zi'an was condescending: "Get up and eat."

You Liangchen annoyed: "Eat breakfast by yourself, I'll sleep for a while."

"It's still breakfast, it's time for lunch!" He pulled You Liangchen up.You Liangchen pushed him down with all his strength. "Are you so hungry, I'll feed you."

Huo Zian kicked him away: "We eat and fuck every day, can we do something serious!"

Lying on the bed, You Liangchen lazily said: "You are not doing business, why do I feel busier than when the restaurant is open?"

Huo Zian is a workaholic, and if he doesn't find something to do every day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.Today he has plans to meet with an Austrian chef, discuss cooperation plans with an art gallery, eat at a Spanish restaurant, and then go to a newly opened cattle farm in the suburbs to inspect the quality of milk.Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to get up and take a shower without reasoning about the good time.

You Liangchen suddenly stopped him: "Zi'an!"

Huo Zian turned his head and saw You Liangchen looking at the phone seriously.You Liangchen: "Old Guo said that there is news about the old beggar."

The two rushed to Wudaokou.Lao Guo showed them an address, told them that the old beggar lived in this place, and taught them in detail how to get inside.

The address is a bungalow area near the Fifth Ring Road, two stops away from Wudaokou.You Liangchen suggested taking the bus, but Huo Zi'an said: "Let's... let's go there."

Knowing that he was uneasy, You Liangchen comforted him: "Do you want to see him right away, or I'll go and have a look first and come back to tell you about his condition."

Huo Zian gritted his teeth and said, "It's all over, let's see you." At one moment, he hoped that the old beggar was his father, and at the other, he hoped that it was just a coincidence.He said anxiously: "You have been a 'neighbor' with him for so long, have you never talked to him?"

Yu Liangchen: "I haven't talked much. I sometimes feed ham sausage to the pups, so the most I hear is 'thank you'. Don't worry, don't look at him sloppy, this job can make money, he will surely live Life is good, maybe I have raised a dozen children."

Huo Zian scolded with a smile: "Damn!" After thinking about it for a while, he not only saw his father, but also recognized dozens of younger brothers and sisters, and felt that life was too dreamy.

They walked to the bungalow area under the scorching sun.The place is more chaotic than imagined. Many houses have been converted into two or three-story buildings and become dormitories or storefronts.Reconstruction projects are everywhere, and dirt and bricks are piled all over the ground.Maybe this place will be demolished in the near future, and the villagers will take the opportunity to build more and fight for more compensation.No wonder Lao Guo wanted to show them the route, they would definitely be dizzy if they went by themselves.

Following the instructions, they quickly found the old beggar's house.

Sure enough, as You Liangchen expected, the old beggar lives like a small village tycoon, the house is full of head and face, and it looks much better than the random small buildings outside.And there was a large yard in front of the house, and there were dogs barking one after another.

You Liangchen laughed: "Hey, the tastes of artists and old beggars are quite the same. They both like to live in big houses and raise big dogs."

Huo Zian was even more nervous when he heard the dog barking.He paused for a while before pushing the door open with You Liangchen.

As soon as they entered the door, both of them were shocked.There were a dozen big dogs in front of them, with fierce eyes, grinning teeth, barking wildly at them!

These dogs were ferocious looking, bushy and as big as leopards.The two immediately held each other's hand, thinking about whether to retreat immediately.

At this time, a tall man came out and sternly reprimanded them: "What are you doing! Do you just enter this door casually? Do you want to kill yourself?"

Huo Zian didn't care about being afraid of the vicious dog anymore. Seeing this man, he became short of breath.Judging from his figure, he was that old beggar!

The old beggar's long hair was tied up behind his head, revealing a square face.

Huo Zian turned to look at You Liangchen, who asked, "Is that him?"

Huo Zian shook his head, "No."

Although he hadn't seen him for 30 years, he was his father after all, so he had a natural feeling. He knew at first sight that the old beggar was not the person he was looking for.

The old beggar recognized You Liangchen, and was very surprised.Because they were people he knew, he let go of his guard and invited them into the house.

Huo Zian's gaze rested on his arm.On his left upper arm, there is a tattoo of a ferocious big eagle. At first glance, it is indeed very similar to his father's tattoo.

The old beggar looked at the two of them and said harshly, "Why are you looking for me?"

You Liangchen explained the cause and effect of the incident.

The old beggar was stunned, and touched the tattoo, "Well... I got the tattoo almost 20 years ago. The master has the same pattern on his arm. I look very majestic, so I asked him to tattoo it like that. You want to find Is that the tattoo artist?"

Huo Zian was taken aback - did his father go back to be a tattoo artist?

You Liangchen reacted quickly: "It should be him, do you know him?" Huo Zian also came back to his senses, and handed him the photo on his phone.

The old beggar squinted his eyes for a few seconds, patted the table and said, "That's him! Ah Qian, he opened a tattoo shop on Chengfu Road back then. He is thin and tall."

Ah Kuan...Father changed his name again...

Huo Zian hurriedly said, "Do you know where he went?"

"Oh, who knows. In a few years, that street will be demolished and remodeled. Bars, tattoo shops, small restaurants, and girls all over the street will be gone! I was selling mouth straps next to me, and then the mouth straps It's gone, the CD is gone, the whole street is gone..."

The corners of the old beggar's eyes twitched slightly, his tone of voice was sad, but his expression looked like he was going to beat someone up.

You Liangchen and Huo Zian looked at each other.Huo Zian asked again: "Did he open the store by himself? Is there anyone else he knows? Do you still have contact?"

"Contact a dick!" the old beggar raised his voice, "The people there are either dead or returning to their hometown. Or they have changed their careers, like me. If I want to contact people like me, they will treat me as air. That's right, Ah Quai is good at English, seems to have met an American girl, maybe he left with her!"

Huo Zian didn't think his father would go abroad. If he wanted to go abroad, in that era, passports and visas had to be processed back to Shanghai, and street certificates might be required.If he went back, would the neighbors and relatives nearby not say anything?He asked a few more questions, but the old beggar and "Ah Kuan" were friends by chance, and they forgot about each other after they separated.Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask, Huo Zian left with You Liangchen.

The old beggar sent them to the door and said: "Don't get close to those dogs, I'm not responsible for biting off your eggs."

Huo Zian was at a loss, his father didn't become a beggar, so where did he go?He can't be an artist, he can't even keep a tattoo shop, maybe he's not as good as an old beggar.The old beggar has a spacious house and so many dogs, and his economic conditions seem to be better than ordinary white-collar workers.He casually asked, "Is this a Tibetan Mastiff? It's so fierce."

The old beggar said: "Yes, I brought all the pure Tibetan mastiffs back from the Tibetan area. Let me tell you, a mastiff here is worth at least 50 yuan, which is much more valuable than human beings." He pointed out The one with dark red hair said, "This one is the worst. It has pure blood and can sell for 200 million."

The two were startled: "Why is it so expensive?"

You Liangchen said again: "Why is it so wilted, is it sick?" This purebred Tibetan Mastiff has a thick red coat and two long and sharp fangs, but it has been lying on the concrete floor without even looking at anyone.

"Hey, a beast like a mastiff is the most inseparable from home. This mastiff king, if he wants to live in the mountains, he can tear lions and tigers to pieces, but when he moves, his courage shrinks and his claws hide. He has been on the train , it's almost useless."

"Can't it be recovered?"

"The mastiff will become a mouse even if it leaves its own environment, hahaha," the old beggar said sarcastically, thinking of most of his life, "I don't know if it can survive it. But it doesn't matter, as long as it can be sold for money , this change of hands will earn at least 20!"

The corners of his eyes twitched again, and his expression still looked like he was going to punch someone.

The two returned to Wudaokou and stopped in front of No. 13 subway station.This is the place where they met for the first time. In the early morning half a year ago, Huo Zian opened his eyes and found himself lying on a dirty sidewalk. In front of him was a tattooed pancake boy who seemed very unfriendly.

Huo Zian smiled and said, "Why did you give me ham at that time?"

"You're hungry, you said it yourself."

"What did I say?" At that time, he was hungover on the street, half asleep, and still begging for food.

At that time, he felt as if he had fallen into a foreign world, surrounded by noisy and crowded, dirty air and dirty roads.But now, he looked around again: the train stopped running, the track was sealed, the small vendors on both sides were driven away, and the sky above was the standard blue sky during the meeting.Such a beautiful and bright city view...

On the famous Chengfu Road, there are well-decorated restaurants, coffee shops, and jewelry stores. The former rock bars, outlet shops, and even bookstores are gone.Nothing.He can no longer tell which is the foreign land, the dirty and lively world, or the clean city now?

Perhaps the only real thing is the steadfast sex shop, and the hidden network underneath, which quietly surrounds this place like running water.The flowing water coming and going has never been interrupted, nor has it disturbed the people above.

The flowing water that comes and goes includes his father, the old beggar, and of course himself...

Huo Zian suddenly felt that he couldn't stay here for a moment, he took You Liangchen's arm and said, "Let's go."

"where to?"

"There are a lot of things to do today. I have an appointment with an Austrian chef. He can cook good ribs. Let's go, we're going to be late!" Huo Zian gave him an exaggerated anxious expression and smiled Laughing, I walked into the subway station first.

Looking at Huo Zian's back, You Liangchen felt uneasy.During the renovation of the restaurant, Huo Zian still looked energetic and joking, but You Liangchen knew why he arranged so many things for himself.Huo Zian was actually very anxious, he had to fill up his time, lest such anxiety would have a chance to show up.

He's scared—afraid of losing his restaurant.It wasn't until now that You Liangchen realized that this restaurant was much more important to Huo Zian than he thought.

You Liangchen caught up with Huo Zian, and had nothing to say: "Let's buy a transportation card." "What's the use, and I don't take the subway often." I lost it." "I'll keep it for you." "Are you my wife? I'll give you all my cards?" "Okay, I'll take whatever you give me!" "How shameless!"

This is the only thing he can do, help him fill himself up, and wait for the unknown judgment together.
