When it was time to break up, Zou Shengzu said: "You are a very busy person, it took so long to come here, don't you want to go dancing?"

Hearing his mention, my heart skipped a beat, and I said with a smile, "I just heard that the waiter recommended a lot of dance halls to me, such as Paramount, Metropolitan, I don't know much about them, it looks like you are familiar with them?"

"I'm not familiar, but we talked about business on weekdays, a group of old men, can't you have some fun for yourself? If you are free, come and play with me at Paramount's 'Maisgan' tomorrow night. Make more friends—can you dance the Viennese waltz? Jitterbug too."

"The waltz is alright," mockingly shaking the red wine glass, leaning back on the chair, "Speaking of dancing, I can practice with my wife at home, how about you? It can't be that Miss Bai, right?"

He frowned, and said helplessly, "Why are you involved with her again?"

"Miss Bai is not bad. She has a good family background and is beautiful. You are a big boss, and she is willing to follow you. It is your luck."

"As you said, Ms. Bai has a good family background and is beautiful. Those who chase her can be thrown into the Huangpu River. I won't go into that muddy water!"

I smiled and said, "Then you are willing to be alone until you grow old?"

He thought for a moment, then seemed to be deliberately leaving me alone, and after a while, he also smiled and said: "Why don't you add another little girl to me?"

"Fuck you!" The sanctimonious man broke his power in an instant, raised his leg and kicked him under the table, leaving a big footprint on his neat and clean trouser leg, "Young girl is a treasure in my house, if you are a kid, It can be considered."

He shook his head and said with a smile, "You love your daughter so much, she will get married in the future, so what should I do!"

What he said just hit my sore foot, thinking that ten years later, Yining will have another arm to lean on like a little sister, but I will be old, and the feeling of having to let go, just thinking about it makes me sad.

Lost for a moment, he told Zou Shengzu to look at it.He squinted his eyes, and said in an unclear tone: "Ten years later, we will talk about it ten years later. I can't understand the immediate future. It's nothing but worrying about the future. And, I see, Let's just talk about it verbally, your wife is determined not to have any more troubles, isn't she, Mr. Liu?"

"Mr. Liu" came out of his mouth with full sarcasm, and I accepted it calmly on the face, but I also became angry from embarrassment in my heart.Anyone who is caught by the pigtails all day long, and is also slapped from time to time, will not feel very good.

"Come on, look at your little belly! It's just fucking annoying you!"

Speaking of pulling up his coat, he got up to leave, and said: "I'll meet you at the gate of Bailemen tomorrow night. I don't have a lot of money with me when I come back, so I'll trouble you to spend it."

I said it sincerely, Zou Shengzu knew my stingy virtue long ago, so he didn't even bother to scold me, he just sat in his seat and watched me go out.

Back at the hotel, entered the room, and saw a squarely folded piece of paper lying quietly on the ground.He retreated into the room with his back on his back, making sure no one was passing the corridor, then he closed the door tightly, locked it, and picked up the piece of paper.

When I opened it, I saw a map of Shanghai, on which several streets in Huxi were marked, which were the last haunts of the missing people.

With the address firmly in mind, he threw the map into the pool, burned it with a lighter, and watched it turn into gray-black powder little by little, and was washed away by the current.

On the second day, I got up early, had breakfast outside, and ate berry fruit.I was sleepy, and I told the stall owner "big fruit", but she didn't understand, and then realized that I was in Shanghai, and hurriedly changed my words and said "soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks", and finally got the meal.

When eating big fruit, I unconsciously think of the big fruit stall downstairs in Liu Guoqing's house, and I don't know what Liu Guoqing ate this morning.

After breakfast, it was still early, and I was wandering around again, when a jewelry store opened for business, and a Westerner was standing behind the counter, seeing me coming in, he only looked up, then lowered his head to polish a diamond .

I didn't care, I came to the counter and quietly looked at a few styles, and suddenly I was attracted by a pair of royal blue gemstone earrings. The one she found was knocked to the ground with a tear, but the one in front of her is even better than the previous one.

When I asked the price, the Westerner casually quoted a price that I could afford.Just as he was hesitating, he saw a men's ring on the counter next to him. It was very beautiful. The white gold setting was inlaid with a medium-sized diamond. It shone with light, like the surface of a summer lake, warm and bright.

He asked him to take out the ring, and stroked it on his finger a few times, thinking that the width of Liu Guoqing's fingertips fit the ring just right.

I asked the price again. If I bought the two together, I would be poor and useless.

There is a steelyard in my heart, and after weighing it for a long time, the balance is tilted to the left and right for a while, and the whole person is swaying.After hesitating for a long time, Fang came up with a solution and asked, "There is only one ring?"

The Westerner said: "Yes, there is only one."

"If I order the same one again, can you keep it for me?"

He looked me up and down a few times, and made his own assessment. Seeing that I didn't look like a poor young man, nor like a rich man with a swollen face, Fang said: "Of course, do you want a woman?"

Embarrassed slightly, he immediately recovered his demeanor and said, "No, it's for myself."

"Oh," he carefully put the diamonds in his hands back into the box, agreed on a reservation amount, and then said, "I need to measure your finger circumference."

After tossing around in the jewelry store all morning, I came out with an earring for my wife in my arms and a custom-made ring in my heart. I happily counted the few remaining banknotes, called a rickshaw, and rushed to Japan in Huxi district.

It was already noon at this time, I got out of the car, filled my stomach casually, and walked along the street.There are many Japanese restaurants on both sides of the road, layer upon layer, emerge in endlessly, there are not many customers, maybe because it is just noon, most people come to eat at night, treat or something, it is also a status symbol, such a Come on, the whole street is full of life.

Walking around several streets, from Kaina Road to Qianjia Lane, this is a civilian area, densely packed with one-story houses, and the alleys extend in all directions like spider webs.

Recalling the location on the map, it is Jisfell Road to the north and Yuyuan Road to the south.The residents in the alley are all familiar with each other, and the appearance of a strange face caused quite a commotion.I didn't want to pay attention to it, and walked northward in a dull manner. When I came to the exit, I was grabbed by the arm by a boy who looked like a middle school student.

The boy, still in his school uniform, seemed to be coming home for lunch, when he stopped and said, "Don't go that way again!"

"Why?" I asked.

"You can't go over there," he said, dragging me into a narrow alley, pointing ahead, and vaguely saw a few soldiers in hard coats patrolling, "there are all Japanese soldiers over there." Soldiers, the entire road is under martial law, so you can’t pass.”

"When did martial law start?"

"But it's been a while. At first it was martial law only on No. 76, and then the whole road was martial law a year ago. They have guns, and we don't go there."

"That's it," I thanked with a smile, and took out another two dollars to throw to him, "Thank you."

He didn't refuse, he took both hands, his eyes were a little bright, he put away the steel hammer, and made a joke casually: "Are you Xiao Kai? Look at you, come here to pick up your girlfriend?"

"Kids don't know what kind of girlfriend they are." Gently pinching his tender tofu-like face, "Hurry up and go home for dinner. Mom will be worried if you get back late."

He said goodbye with a playful smile, turned the corner and bought two bottles of orange soda at the grocery store with the money I gave him.

Indeed a child.

He walked towards Yuyuan Road, sat in a coffee shop for a while, read the newspapers of the past few days, and when the dusk was deep, he rushed to Paramount.
