Bamboo Horse Office

Yu An and Jiang Nian immediately stopped their chopsticks.

"Uncle, do you know him?"

"I know, how can I not know." The boss glanced at the photo again, and then returned it to Yu An, "Who are you? What do you want him for?"

Yu An repeated that set of rhetoric again.

"It turns out that old classmates are going to get together." Hearing this, the boss shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity."

Jiang Nian ordered another bottle of white wine and two plates of appetizers. Yu An dragged the boss to sit down and poured him a glass first, "Uncle, do you know where he is now?"

The boss didn't hold back, he drank a glass generously, smacked his lips, and said: "It's at his old house in the village. When he came back from the outside in disgrace, he didn't know what happened. He is a good person every day If you drink alcohol, everyone will be useless."

The boss was half sighing and half sighing. After three glasses of wine, Yu An and Jiang Nian also had a general understanding of Feng Siliang's past.

"At that time, the village was poor, and there was not enough food to eat, so there was no extra money for the children to go to school, but his parents didn't recognize it, and they insisted on asking for money. Give people out."

"He is the first college student in our village. On the day the admission notice came out, his parents were so happy. Those who read the jokes before also shut up. The kid is also up to the challenge. It is said that he has gained a firm foothold in the city and even put His parents took it and enjoyed it."

"But then I don't know what happened. He ran back from the city alone. Someone who knew something said that he committed a crime outside and made his parents mad. Who knows if it's true or not. Well, but since then he has been drinking every day, his family is ruined, and he is also drunk."

Speaking of this, the boss sighed again, "It's useless for you to take this photo to find someone. You'll know when you see his current appearance. He drinks like a ghost. It's strange to recognize him."

……

According to the boss, Feng Siliang's old house is on the east side of the village. Yu An and Jiang Nian even passed by here yesterday, but they always regarded it as an empty house.

The reason is simple. It looks unpopular from the outside. Whether other people's yards are clean or messy, there are traces of people's lives. Here, it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time. The cracks in the floor tiles and roofs in the yard are even long. There are tall weeds.

"Hello, is anyone at home?" Yu An knocked on the half-open courtyard door and asked loudly, but it was so quiet that no one responded.

He glanced back at Jiang Nian, and was about to ask if he should go in directly. After all, judging from the boss's description, Feng Siliang was drunk every day, so he probably wouldn't be able to wake him up.

"You two are looking for that drunk lunatic."

Just as he was hesitating, a woman suddenly came out from next door. She poured a large basin of water in the yard, and looked at them with an empty basin.

"Ah."

"Then go in directly." The woman pointed to the room in front of her, "You can't call him out like that, he knows how to drink every day, and he doesn't know when he will die from drinking." Before leaving, she spat, "Also What about college students, what a fart."

Yu An and Jiang Nian looked at each other, feeling helpless.

Pushing the door open, the two of them walked directly across the yard into the house.

Then there was a very bad smell.

I don't know how many years this house hasn't been cleaned, garbage and wine bottles are thrown everywhere, and flies can still be seen in such cold weather.

Feng Siliang was still drunk today, sleeping soundly with an empty wine bottle in his hand.

Seeing his current appearance, Yu An immediately understood why everyone couldn't recognize that photo.

In fact, Feng Siliang and Chen Dong are about the same age, but the difference is too great. With Chen Dong's oily face, no wrinkles can be seen, people will believe that he is in his 20s.But Feng Siliang is different, the years have mercilessly engraved marks on his face, coupled with the beard that has not been cleaned for a long time and the long hair that has become dirty in locks, he looks like a weather-beaten old man who is about to die.

He was lying on the colorless quilt, sleeping deeply.

It seems that he can't wake up temporarily.

"Let's clean it up for him." No matter what the final result is, Yu An feels that he should be thanked for coming forward, otherwise, the crime will last for an unknown time, and maybe there will be no one who can still stand here up.

Jiang Nian turned around and tried to find cleaning tools, but there was garbage everywhere, and he didn't know where brooms and the like were buried, so he went to the grocery store at the entrance of the village to buy a new set.

There is too much garbage accumulated here. The two of them took the largest garbage bags and sent them out one by one. Finally, a hill was piled up in the yard. It was a few hours before the house was wiped clean. up.

After Jiang Nian cleaned up the original daily necessities, such as bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs, he temporarily took them to the small warehouse in the courtyard, and Yu An went to the grocery store again to replace them.

Now there is finally a place to sit.

Yu An hadn't done such a tiring job for a long time, and he slumped on the stool, feeling like he was going to collapse from exhaustion.Although Jiang Nian was in better health than him, he was still sweating on his tired forehead, and sat on a chair to rest silently.

"When will he wake up?" Yu An glanced at the sleeping Feng Siliang again. Although they kept as quiet as possible when they cleaned up the house, some movements were unavoidable, so several hours could not put him down. to wake up.

"I don't know. If he doesn't wake up at night, you can go back to rest first. I'll just watch here."

Jiang Nian found a lot of unopened bottles of wine at his place. He was really afraid that he would get drunk again when he opened his eyes, so he had to watch it no matter what.

"We'll talk about the matter at night." Yu An stretched his limbs and stretched himself, "Let's get rid of the garbage bags in the yard first."

There is no way to pile up so much garbage in the yard. After the two rested for half an hour, Yu An went to the next door to ask, and learned that the garbage here is usually thrown into the garbage pool. The road has been repaired in recent years , There will be cars coming to collect garbage regularly.

Jiang Nian dug out a cart from Feng's small warehouse, and together with Yu An put the garbage on the cart first, and then sent it to the garbage dump.Seeing the two of them running back and forth, and remembering that they were looking for someone, the woman next door had an idea, and when the two of them finished delivering the last garbage, she asked, "What did you two do yesterday?" The person who came to ask is not this alcoholic."

"Yes, Uncle Feng is my dad's classmate."

The woman's eyes changed, and she glanced at the clothes of the two of them again, and said tentatively: "He's already like this, it's useless to find him, he's just a classmate, maybe he needs to be taken care of."

This time it was Jiang Nian's turn to speak, "If he wants, we will take him away."

Perhaps thinking of the words she scolded before, the woman smiled awkwardly, "Actually, you don't know, our family helped him when he came back, and persuaded him many times, but he didn't listen. They are all from the same village. Who lives here, who doesn't feel bad when he sees him like this. Don't talk about others, just our family, me and my family..."

The woman stopped suddenly while she was talking.

Jiang Nian's eyes are very cold. He used to fight hard in the boxing ring. After so many years, when he is angry, he will still unconsciously show a murderous look. The woman is frightened by his eyes. There was no good fruit to eat, so he immediately shut his mouth tightly, turned around and trotted away.

"Okay, don't be as knowledgeable as her, I can't afford it."

Back then, a group of people in the village laughed at the Feng family for not eating or drinking for their son to go to school. When he really got into college, he was sore and flattered. Later, Feng Siliang ran back home in despair. Found a vent.

——What's the use of being admitted to university? It's only been a few years of glory, and he ran back in despair.

——I heard that he committed a crime outside and was brought back to the police station by the police, otherwise, could this be the case.

——If you want me to say that his family shouldn't have wasted their money back then, why go to the city to enjoy themselves, bah, our family's life is much better than his.

——Let him drink if he wants to drink, and drink him to death.

……

Feng Siliang has lived this kind of life for more than ten years. Yu An no longer knows whether it was the huge blow that happened to him back then, or whether he wanted to use alcohol to numb himself so that he would not listen to gossip, or maybe it was Having both will keep him drunk all day long.

As for the woman just now, she was just one of them.

Yu An thought that the life he lived with Jiang Nian was not a luxury, but if he had to compare it, it must be much better than here.That family lived next door, and they probably scolded each other a lot in private, but now that they heard Jiang Nian's promise, they thought Feng Siliang was hooking up with a rich classmate again, so his attitude changed instantly.

To be honest, Yu An couldn't understand their thoughts.

If they are doing well, no matter how much money you spend, it is not yours. If they are doing poorly, they will not rely on you to help them, so why bother.

I can't see the goodness of others, but I have to scold and step on others when they are down. Is there any strange sense of satisfaction in this way?Yu An said he couldn't figure it out.

The two of them thought they had cleaned up the house thoroughly, and it wasn't until they needed to turn on the lights at night that they discovered that the light bulb was also broken.

At the end of the day, the two of them went to the grocery store several times, and the boss looked familiar.Jiang Nian went to buy a few more light bulbs and came back, moved the table with Yu An, and began to change the light bulbs with difficulty by using the flashlight function of the mobile phone.

"Jiang Nian, when he wakes up, let's ask him what he thinks. If he agrees, we'll take him back. If he still wants to live here, we'll help clean up the house."

Jiang Nian thought so too, he didn't lie to that woman, especially after seeing and hearing all these years, he really didn't want Feng Siliang to continue living here.For them, Feng Siliang is a benefactor, whether it is support or other help, he will try his best to do what he can.

Jiang Nian turned on the light bulb, "Turn on the light and try."

With a snap, the room was instantly illuminated, and at this moment, a sound came from the bed, and it was Feng Siliang who woke up.
