born to ashes

Zhang Zhihe hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at Zhucheng when the sun just came out.

Without even taking a break, he rushed to the fourth floor and knocked on the door.

Sitting opposite Josh, Wei Linze absently gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun while peeking at him. When the door was slammed, he hurriedly escaped from the dining table to open the door.

Zhang Zhihe was about to rush in disheveledly, "What's the matter, where is Josh."

With the bun stuffed in his mouth, Josh raised his head and glanced at him, "Fuck, what about your debt collection in the morning, why did you ask me?"

Zhang Zhihe glanced back at Wei Linze, Wei Linze waved his hands guiltily, and said in a low voice, "The situation is a bit complicated."

He looked around Josh a few times, and Josh threw the empty milk box over, "What are you shaking, be honest."

"No, I have to take you for a comprehensive examination." Zhang Zhihe went over and pulled Josh, Josh froze his paws and said, "I know my own illness, Comrade Dr. Zhang, I solemnly tell you One sound, I recovered."

Zhang Zhihe stared at him, unable to see anything with his naked eyes.Because Josh is always like this, whether there is something wrong or not, he will just say that he is fine.

Josh handed him a bun, "Don't look at it, it's all right, I just figured out something suddenly, if you are worried, take me to check it, but it will take two days, I have to cut it later hair."

It was indeed checked later, but it took a long time.The result is indeed more optimistic. According to Zhang Zhihe's analysis, Josh has never really confessed to him before. The root cause of his illness is not Yang Kangping and his father at all, but other problems caused by it.As for what it was, Josh didn't say.On the other hand, Wei Linze had an inscrutable expression on his face, saying that he probably knew it, but he didn't say anything when asked what he knew.Zhang Zhihe rolled his eyes viciously, "It's very annoying that you look so confident at all times."

Josh said that cutting hair was not ambiguous at all. Teacher Tony looked left and right and was thinking about what kind of hairstyle to cut. Josh threw a flying eye at him, "It's shaved."

Mr. Tony thought he was going wrong, and held up the scissors in a daze. Josh repeated, "bald."

"You have a pretty face." Teacher Tony cut off the scissors, and the uneven hair became shoulder-length. "It's a pity."

It's a pity in his mouth, but he is merciless in his actions.

Wei Linze was sitting on the sofa at the back playing with his mobile phone, not paying attention to what was going on here at all. Mr. Tony showed his first scalp when the first fader went down. Wei Linze accidentally looked up and met Josh in the mirror. Josh grinned at him, showing his messy hair Scalp hair, a living comedy.

Thin short hair flew around, and a short hair scum fell on his eyelids, and he blinked.

Wei Linze looked in the mirror from behind. The bald-headed Josh is very good-looking. It’s not that he has no words to say, but it’s true that the only word that can describe it is good-looking. Those "beautiful eyes and hopeful" and "good girl Luo Fu" are not enough at all. to describe.When he had long hair, he was actually not feminine, because his eyes were so enchanting that it was easy to ignore the specific features.After cutting off her hair, her face became much clearer, and her eyes became bigger, like a little nun who just came down the mountain.

On the way back, Wei Linze told him this analogy, and he bent his legs on the spot, pinched Lan Hua'er's fingers, and gestured in a circle, "Xiao Ni——Gu."

The ending sound stopped briefly, and was deliberately pressed down.

He spoke quickly, "The little nun is only twenty-eight years old, and her hair was cut off by the master when she was young."

Wei Linze narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Master Tony is so cruel."

"I was originally a man..."

Josh was having a good time, when he didn't finish his sentence, a voice interrupted him, "Hey—isn't this our famous Ms. Josh?"

Tony!

The Tony of the prosperous age.

Tony appeared here blatantly, as if he was here to give Josh a blow in the head, and tell him, stop dreaming, what's wrong with you living here for several years, so many people coming and going on the street don't know you I know who it is, you came from the prosperous age, and you will never get out of the name of Master Rabbit in your life.

Josh's mind buzzed, and he didn't even dare to look at Wei Linze when he turned his head.He even forgot to answer back, staring and turning his head stiffly to look at Tony who was five steps away. He was holding a man with heavy makeup by his arm. At first glance, he looked a bit like him before. If he was usually free After commenting on the person's appearance, and then drawing the conclusion of imitation, but now, he only finds it dazzling.

"Where are you going to be the rabbit master now after leaving the prosperous age, or are you standing on the street?"

They were not far away, and Tony's high-pitched voice was uncomfortable in his ears.

Josh didn't know what expression to show, he turned his head and glanced at Wei Linze in a daze.

He still had no expression on his face, his expression was so normal that he didn't know the Josh that the inexplicable mouth said.Even if you are shocked, even if you ask me "is it true", even if you dislike it.

It was only then that Josh realized that what he was afraid of before, Wei Linze's dislike, and his disbelief, were not the most despairing.

Wei Linze is acting like this, as if he is listening to a story that has nothing to do with him.That's right, if it's just roommates, according to Wei Linze's temper, why would he care.

He doesn't care about chicken, duck and fish.

After all, what he was afraid of before had already placed the premise in a position that Wei Linze would care about.But it's just being self-indulgent.

Josh took two steps back, didn't say anything, and ran away in the opposite direction, ignoring Tony yelling behind him, and didn't hear Wei Linze calling him to stop.

In fact, he is very familiar with the area of ​​the university town, but it seems that he doesn't know him at this time.The stall selling sugar-fried chestnuts is gone, and the shop selling Mala Tang is gone. Everything is telling him fiercely, get out.This is not a place for you to stay, this is a university town, not Nanning Street or a prosperous age.

Wei Linze's lifestyle didn't change because of Josh's departure, everything was still moving forward step by step according to his speed.Reading books, writing articles, going back and forth in the school to review the materials for the evaluation of professional titles, preparing for the evaluation of evaluations, preparing lessons, and proceeding in a meticulous manner.

Whether you are busy or not, you really have no time to relax.

Even when Han Huai asked him to go out for a meal, he refused.

Han Huai protested on the other end of the phone: "What are you busy with as soon as your teacher is on summer vacation?"

"I'm not busy, I just live a fulfilling life." Wei Linze switched on the speakerphone and cracked an egg into the frying pan.

"Wei Ergou! You have changed your mind, you can live a fulfilling life without me! You..."

Wei Linze hung up the phone.

I never thought Han Huai was so noisy before.

"Inspur" is a quarterly magazine, and the third issue of the magazine happens to be printed in the summer vacation. The newcomer is said to be a major in editing and publishing. Although Mr. Shan is a professional, he is a newcomer after all. Wei Linze is indispensable for this issue of the magazine, which is in the handover period. run back and forth.The handover process is much more tiring than publishing a new magazine by yourself in the past. Usually, Wei Linze doesn’t pay much attention to summarizing the process. When he is proficient, he will go down naturally. But it's a bit confusing.

So it is full, it is really full.

I usually don’t think so, but after sorting it out systematically, I found out that it’s really not easy to work as a magazine.

Wei Linze stared at the phone, and ate scrambled eggs with green peppers and less salt.Teacher Shan made a systematic work plan, as well as a plan for the development direction of the magazine, the improvement of the content, the innovation of the section, and the idea of ​​the special periodical, and packaged the files and sent them to Wei Linze.

Wei Linze used the mobile phone software to look at ten lines at a glance. It has to be said that the views of professionals are more professional than him.During those years when he was in charge of the magazine, at best, he really did not make any mistakes. If he had any achievements, it is really hard to say.There is nothing to choose about the content of the magazine, but the model has always followed the set set many years ago, and it cannot be said to be a little behind the contemporary era.

Teacher Shan himself is not the kind of person who sits on a vegetarian diet, and he is meticulous in handing over the work. He wished to learn everything in one day. Wei Linze is also willing to accompany him. If it is the kind of person who does not move a step after ten whips, he is too lazy to catch up Waiting.

These two days, Wei Linze accompanied Mr. Shan to deal with the printing factory every day. Mr. Shan was dissatisfied with the paper quality of the inside pages, and dissatisfied with the cover made by others. The price of a book was cut down to fifty cents.

They walked back to Teacher Shan and said, "I think in the future we will have to train a few talents to make covers. Gradually, we will even make the covers ourselves. It is too passive to contract out the cost to outsiders."

Wei Linze agreed nonchalantly, but Teacher Shan's drive was daunting.

Ordinarily speaking, Wei Linze's company these few days was entirely in a humanitarian spirit, and he didn't have any obligation to mess around with the energetic young teacher during the summer vacation.Teacher Shan himself also understands that after the printing factory business is over, he always wants to invite Teacher Wei to have a meal.

What Wei Linze meant was that it would be good if it was near the school. The restaurants nearby were all well-known, and a little bit of food would be fine. Teacher Shan didn't think so, and he had to find a decent place.

Teacher Shan is a local, and has been in Zhucheng since he was a child. According to him, there is no place he is not familiar with in the central area of ​​the city, not to mention the distance.Wei Linze reminded Wan Wan that it's just a meal for the two of you, don't be too grand. After careful consideration, he chose the Yanhui Building at the intersection of Nanning Street and Credit Middle Road.

The street vertically adjacent to Nanning Street is called Credit Middle Road. Although Nanning Street is a famous bar street, there is a wall separating Nanning Street from it, but there are all kinds of antique calligraphy and painting teahouses on it. One of the best calligraphy and painting markets in Zhucheng is here. this street.In fact, the two streets have a white scene and a night scene, and they do not interfere with each other and live in peace.

Yanhui Building is at the intersection of the two streets, it is the largest restaurant in the vicinity, and it accommodates all kinds of people. There are calligraphy and painting dealers, old artists, fun-seeking dandies, and big brothers on the road.Here, the guzheng is played in the mountains and rivers, but in the lobby there are punches and meat, and gang fights are not uncommon.

Wei Linze had never heard of the great name of Yan Huilou, sitting in the lobby and listening to the sound of the guzheng, he somehow felt that he was already old.

Teacher Shan ordered a table full of dishes, and greeted Wei Linze to eat, "The most famous Jintang chicken feet here." "The most distinctive small tea meat here."

He had a good conversation with Mr. Shan, but unconsciously he liked to look out of the window.

They were seated by the window, right next to Nanning Street. Looking out from the second floor, there were no people on Nanning Street at noon, and the most common thing was the wind, which rolled the plastic bags on the ground and pushed them a few steps forward, touching the ground When the cigarette butt can’t move, stop and rest for a while, wait for a stronger wind, and push the cigarette butt and plastic bag forward a few steps.

Occasionally, a few people passed by to support a drunk, cursed a few words indistinctly, and swayed past him sticky.

The people below inadvertently glanced up and met his eyes. Wei Linze took a sip of tea, looked back frankly, and then slowly shifted his gaze.

Eating and chatting, time passed before he knew it. Teacher Shan felt that Wei Linze was angry with him, and he couldn't stop talking. When he realized that there were not many people left in the lobby on the second floor, he just Embarrassed, he walked out with Wei Linze.

When he arrived at the door, Wei Linze saw the person standing aside at a glance.

Coauthored here and waited for him now.

Seeing Wei Linze coming out, he immediately went to the door, as if trying to block him from leaving.Teacher Shan was old in Zhucheng, and had seen the scene of Yan Huilou's fight. He could tell at a glance that the man at the door was not a good person, so he subconsciously stood in front of Wei Linze.Wei Linze smiled and said, "Zheng Fei."

"You know each other?" Teacher Shan was suspicious.

"Can you say something?" Zheng Fei frowned and glanced at Teacher Shan, then said to Wei Linze.

"Teacher Shan, thank you for today, you go back first, I'll have a word with him."

"Really?" Teacher Shan looked at Zheng Fei warily again, and Wei Linze nodded with a smile, "Mr. Wei, just call me if you have anything to do."

"Okay." Wei Linze agreed to send Teacher Shan away.

Zheng Fei was in a daze while the two of them were talking. Wei Linze couldn't help laughing when he saw the sweat on his head, "You haven't been waiting here since you looked up, right?"

Zheng Fei didn't answer him, and cut directly to the topic, "Is it convenient for Fang to find a place to chat?"

Although the question was polite, Zheng Fei didn't seem to want to give him a choice at all, so he directly opened the car door and made a gesture of please.

After they sat down in the teahouse, Zheng Fei's tense expression remained unchanged, the black suit was incompatible with the atmosphere of the teahouse.

"No other matter, no other meaning, just to ask you for Josh." Zheng Fei said, "Even if I can't meet you today, I have to find you."

Wei Linze drank his tea slowly, but did not speak.

Zheng Fei was also deliberating what to say, he was talking to Josh, but he didn't necessarily ask why people dislike them as soon as he came up.Let's not say that people didn't just say disgust at all, but what can they do if they really dislike, and they can ignore it?But just because the teacher ordered Shien to live together, they didn't drive people out if they were doing well. To put it bluntly, it has to be considered their own hypocrisy.

Josh actually didn't say anything, which is the most abnormal.

In the past few days, he has been holding on to cigarettes and alcohol all day long, and if he just throws a pestle there, the smell can spread for several miles.Zheng Fei had never seen him like this before. He snatched the bottle several times without snatching it away. It was also the first time he saw Josh drinking directly into the bottle.When I asked him, he didn't say anything, and kept talking nonsense about "how much life is for drinking and singing" and "life must be full of joy".

Even when he and Wei Wenqu were struggling the most, this kind of situation never happened.

When Zheng Fei dragged the unconscious Josh out, he raised his drooping head and asked, "How did you say I got into this business back then? I was good at moving bricks at the construction site, but I later What do you think?"

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a while and corrected himself, "Oh no, it's not moving bricks or steel bars."

"Nonsense fart, you, stop flopping, go back to sleep." Zheng Fei couldn't help him, so he let go of his hand, let him sit on the ground leaning against the car, and after he opened the car door, put his arms on the car Pulling, cursing while pulling, I knew that I should have changed to a supercar with a low chassis when I changed the car, this bear is really heavy.

Josh didn't cooperate, and grabbed Zheng Fei by the collar, almost poking his face with the tip of his nose, "Tell me, are you looking down on me!"

"Fuck! I look down on you. What good is it for me? If I look down on you, I look down on myself." Zheng Fei threw him into the back seat, slammed the door, and sat back in the driver's seat When I was on it, I glanced at the messy sole prints on the back, and shouted: "Stop pedaling!"

If I had known, I would have taken off his shoes. Fuck, I just changed the car!Leather seats!

"Wei Wei, don't dislike me." Josh muttered behind him.

Zheng Fei was running into a red light, and when he heard this sentence, he almost stopped the car.

The green light only lasts half a minute, but the red light is better, starting from nine, and the traffic lights are only double digits, otherwise I don’t know how long I will have to wait.He took advantage of this time to sneak a look back, Josh closed his eyes, and was honestly asleep at the moment.

If I remember correctly, Wei Wei is that Wei Linze.

Zheng Fei had a few words with Wei Linze, but the impression he had of him was that he was sitting on the sofa, reading a book in a very comfortable posture, and when he was looking at the door, he just happened to raise his head.The moment he raised his head, he raised his gold-rimmed eyes with his fingers, and the page he was holding in his hand fell lightly.

He gasped.

Not a world person, talk to them.He came to a conclusion on the spot.

But you let him tell Josh exactly like that?Where is it worth it?

His brother, it seems that he has been entangled with impossible people all his life, how much he has to suffer for his heart.

When he came to see Wei Linze this time, he didn't know what to say. He obviously didn't want him to have anything to do with Josh, but he couldn't bear to see Josh half-dead.

People like them deserve to be looked down upon. There is no reason to accuse those who look down on them.

Thinking of this, his tone softened a bit, "Mr. Wei, Josh is not in a good mood these days, and I'm not going to persuade him. I'm thinking about it. It's probably his own imagination. I know Josh. It’s been years, but I still know him well, he really regards you as a friend, I came to you on my own initiative, and I want you to persuade him.”

Wei Linze still had the lukewarm expression at the beginning, that is, he could hold his breath and not speak.

Zheng Fei was a little anxious, "Even if you look down on him, but after such a long time, you must know better than me how good Josh is to you, and you can see what kind of person he is, and you can't completely ignore him just because of his previous occupation." Deny someone."

Wei Linze laughed, which looked like a mockery, and he said: "No one looks down on him, only he himself." Wei Linze spoke very fast, and there was a hint of anger between the words.

Zheng Fei froze for a moment.

Wei Linze quickly forced himself back to a tepid and calm state, "It's useless for others to say anything about this kind of thing. He feels that I look down on him from the bottom of his heart. I say no, does it work? This kind of thing is up to him Thinking about it myself, I think I shouldn’t get involved in this process.”

Wei Linze picked up the teacup and put the base back on the table as soon as it left the table.

"I said that I knew what Josh was doing before we both had spoken a few words, would you believe me?"
