It was still cold in March, Xiao Chuo stood and smoked a cigarette for a while, his fingers were still stiff, he didn't know whether it was from the nervousness before, or from the cold.

Qu An waited at the foot of the mountain for nearly two hours but did not see Xiao Chuo going out, so he looked for it worriedly, and saw Xiao Chuo standing motionless from a distance.

Qu An got closer and found that he was just smoking, with cigarette butts under his feet, and he didn't say anything. She couldn't even see any sadness or reluctance on his face, as if he was indifferent, as if he was visiting an unimportant Xiao Chuo is completely different from the usual Xiao Chuo.

Qu An didn't seem to know him in a trance.

Only then did she recall that she seemed to have never heard Xiao Chuo talk about his past in Chongzhou.She had never heard him mention his mother, as if this memory was deliberately sealed by him.She didn't hear him mention his father, and she didn't even know if his father was still alive.

Qu An thought for a while, but quietly turned around and went back to the car outside without stepping forward to disturb him.

It wasn't until the sun set that Qu An saw Xiao Chuo coming down from the mountain. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his figure very long, making him look so thin and lonely for no reason.

Xiao Chuo opened the door of the driver's cab, returned to his usual self, rubbed his hands and said, "It's so cold, my hands are numb. I should have brought a hot water bottle." He said, and directly turned on the heater to the maximum.

Qu An hurriedly said: "Why don't I drive it, Brother Xiao, warm your hands first."

Xiao Chuo looked at her and smiled: "No need, you are not familiar with the roads in the city."

"Huh? Are we not going back?"

"Well, I have to go to the city." Xiao Chuo gasped on his frozen hands, "A former neighbor called me and said that her cat had entered my house for two days, and now it can't come out. Let me Go and help open the door."

"No way? How does your neighbor know you're there?"

Xiao Chuo shrugged and said, "Isn't this in time for the school celebration? She said she was trying her luck to see if I would come. If I didn't come, she planned to call the police to break down the door."

"All right……"

……

After attending the school celebration ceremony, everyone had dinner and then moved to the bar.

After almost a round of drinking, the alcoholic person became excited.

Zeng Yun held Chu Bian and said: "Don't be unreasonable, everyone has had a round of drinking, and you only have half a glass? We haven't seen each other for so many years, don't you want to have a drink with my old tablemate?"

"And I!"

"Add me one!"

The wine mixed with the light dazzled a little.

Chu Bian flickered as if he saw Sheng Ju jumping onto the wine table, holding the wine bottle and saying loudly: "Hey, you guys, don't catch Chu Bian drinking wine, anyone who wants to drink can come to me! All the wine Chu Bian has today will be sold to me." It's all included! No, I'll drink all the wine you want to toast Chu Bian in the future! Young master, I'll have a lot of it!"

Later, Sheng Ju got drunk and vomited faintly by the corner of the wall. He turned his head to meet Chu Bian's worried eyes, and he held his face and smiled: "Why are you looking at me like this? It's not for you, I'm going to be a big star in the future, if I can drink up early, no one will be able to rule me!"

With a sound of "dang", the glass in someone's hand collided with Chu's wine glass.

Chu Bian raised his head and took a sip of the wine in his glass.

"Look, the big actor's drinking capacity is definitely not the fault of it! Is there anything in the entertainment industry that you don't socialize with? Come again!"

"Come again!"

"Continued Cup!"

"Come!"

"Wow, Great Movie King, you are huge!"

The fine nectar slid down his throat and entered his stomach, the crystal lamp above his head was dazzling, and Chu Bian's eyes were a little reddish, he had long been drunk, and no one could rule him out.

Because, the person who blocked the drink for him will never come back.

……

Xiao Chuo's car turned around and drove into a small parking lot.

Qu An looked outside and asked, "Brother Xiao, isn't this the lodging area?"

"Yeah." Xiao Chuo turned off the car and said, "It's an old house, you can't drive in, and it's hard to park outside. You'll be fined. You wait here for me."

Qu An got out of the car and said, "I'll go with you!"

Xiao Chuo's expression changed slightly, he quickly smiled and said: "No, I'll be back soon, here, just go in the alley in front."

Qu Anshun glanced at it, and his eyes widened in astonishment: "I'll go, the houses and buildings in that area are all old buildings from the Republic of China, right? Brother Xiao, your family is so rich!"

Xiao Chuo paused slightly with his back turned, and then walked forward with his hands in his pockets.

Qu Anli immediately searched the Internet, and it turned out that Chongzhou has been a gathering place for rich people since the Republic of China. There are a lot of scholarly families, and they are all people with status.

Moreover, any bungalow villa here is worth tens of millions.

"My God!" Qu An looked up, Xiao Chuo's figure had already disappeared at the entrance of the alley, she always felt that Brother Xiao had a brilliant temperament, so it turned out that he was really a young man!

……

Xiao Chuo walked through the alley and saw the tall and straight sycamore tree in front of him. The cold white light of the street lamp fell from among the leaves of the tree and dyed the mottled light on the ground. The swing beside the tree was still and the iron chains were already rusted. .

The semi-circular iron gate outside the courtyard was ajar, and the lock on it had been in disrepair for a long time and was broken long ago.

He hasn't been here for nine years.

The building next door was lit, and the previously empty courtyard was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the woman's sharp yelling and cursing could no longer be heard.

After the college entrance examination, he probably moved away. I heard that Mrs. Wang's family came back from abroad.

"Xiaoju? Is it Shengju?" Mrs. Wang came forward wrapped in a coat, looked at him carefully, and said with a smile, "Oh, it's so big, I almost didn't dare to recognize him!"

Xiao Chuo responded, walked across the yard and opened the door, and said sideways, "Aunt Wang, please do what you want." He turned around and took out a cigarette to smoke.

"Aren't you going in?" Mrs. Wang stepped back, tightened her clothes again, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm not familiar with your house, so why don't I trouble you to take my buns out, that... I won't Go in. Don’t be afraid, it’s very docile and doesn’t bite. Oh, it should be on the second floor.”

Xiao Chuo was stunned for a while, then put away his cigarette and nodded, "That's fine, just wait a bit."

He skillfully touched the switch by the door, and restrained his eyes from looking at the restaurant.

Xiao Chuo took a deep breath and went upstairs: "Baozi, come out with Baozi."

He searched around and found that the doors and windows of the house were closed. Just as he was thinking about where the cat came in, he saw a shadow running out of the room in front of him. Xiao Chuo caught the little guy with quick eyes and hands.

It turned out to be an orange Garfield cat, probably frightened when Xiao Chuo caught it, and kept barking.

He smiled and rubbed its fluff: "Okay, good boy, I'll take you home now."

Xiao Chuo came down from the stairs with the cat in his arms, halfway up the stairs Bao Zi struggled suddenly, the back of Xiao Chuo's hand was scratched by the cat's claw instantly, he let go of the pain, and Bao Zi rushed out of his arms.

"Baozi!" Xiao Chuo instinctively chased after him.

Baozi runs very fast.

Xiao Chuo instinctively turned on all the lights on the first floor and chased the cat into the restaurant.

The moment the lights came on, Xiao Chuo seemed to be nailed in place.

The thick dust on the ivory white dining table seemed to disappear in an instant. Under the bright crystal lamp, there was a table full of mouth-watering delicacies on the dusty table.

Mother Xiao Yunzhi came out with the last soup, and waved to him with a smile: "Baby, wash your hands and come to eat, mom made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, crystal asparagus...and your favorite My favorite dried bamboo shoots and old duck soup!"

Xiao Chuo saw the young boy approaching Xiao Yunzhi and hugged Xiao Yunzhi, sobbing and calling her: "Mom...can we get out of here?"

Xiao Yunzhi gently rubbed the boy's hair, and responded gently: "Okay, let's leave here together."

"Really?" The boy raised his head from her arms full of expectation.

Xiao Yunzhi smiled more and more gently: "Well, okay, go wash your hands and eat, you're still acting like a baby at this age."

"Yeah!" The boy ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, and helped Xiao Yunzhi serve food.

"Baby is so good." Xiao Yunzhi continued to pick up vegetables and soup for him, "Eat more, mother will always be with baby, and we will never be separated."

The boy's soup spoon fell to the ground with a bang. He leaned on the edge of the table with one hand and covered his stomach with the other: "Mom, I...my stomach hurts..."

Xiao Yunzhi still looked at him with a smile: "Baby, don't be afraid of good children, don't be afraid, mother is here."

"Uh..." Xiao Chuo staggered a little, and the colic in his stomach seemed to sweep up like a tidal wave of memories, and he hastily supported the wall behind him.

His palms were covered with dust all of a sudden, there was no delicious food in front of him, it was clearly a cold restaurant that had been idle for many years.

"Xiaoju." There were footsteps coming from behind.

Xiao Chuo turned his head subconsciously, facing Sheng Mingshan's seemingly kind face that was always smiling.

In the past, he only thought that his father's figure was as majestic as a mountain, so tall and unattainable. Looking at it now, he seems to be shorter than before, and his temples have grown white hair.

Xiao Chuo suddenly understood everything, he frowned and sneered: "You asked Aunt Wang to call me?"

Sheng Mingshan sighed and said, "You have been refusing to see Dad, and Dad has nothing to do. Xiaoju, you..."

"I'm not called Shengju long ago!" Xiao Chuo interrupted him and started to leave.

"Son!" Sheng Mingshan grabbed his arm and said with a frown, "No matter what, you are still my father's child! I know I was wrong about what happened back then, but it's been so many years, you can't Forgive Dad? Dad wants to make it up to you, and will make it up to you!"

"Compensation?" The cramping in his stomach became more and more serious, Xiao Chuo subconsciously bowed slightly, "How do you think you can make up for it so that all this can be reversed? Can you bring my mother back to life? Back then I needed you the most Where were you then? Now for compensation... why don't you die!"

Xiao Chuo pushed his hand away forcefully.

"Xiaoju! Xiaoju, wait!" Sheng Mingshan chased him out.

Xiao Chuo was in so much pain that he couldn't think in his head, just like the bowl of poisoned soup nine years ago was poured down for him now, and there was the sound of footsteps following behind him. Drill in the alley.

The more he ran, the tighter the people behind him chased him.

Someone was calling him "Xiaoju", "Shengju"... The voice was overwhelming, like a flood rushing towards him from all directions.

Xiao Chuo didn't dare to stop, he hated Sheng Mingshan!I don't even want to see this man again!

There are so many intricate alleys in this area, he was so familiar with them when he was a child that he could find his way home even with his eyes closed.

However, at this moment, he tried to go out, but he still couldn't get out of this maze after going around.

"Uh..." He held onto the wall and walked for a while.

It seemed as if he had slid to the ground in pain and had no strength to get up like his mother when she asked for help, but her mother half-kneeled to support his head, and poured the half bowl left on the table into his mouth. .

The boy Shengju tried to struggle, but his jaw was clamped.

Xiao Yunzhi said softly: "How can there be good children left? Baby, come and drink it. Mom has simmered such a delicious soup all afternoon. Mom will drink it with the baby, good boy."

Xiao Chuo didn't hold onto the wall at the corner in front of him, bent down and vomited.

In a trance, someone called him again:

"Sheng Ju! Sheng Ju! Sheng Ju, come out to me! Sheng Ju! I know you are hiding from me on purpose! Nine years, isn't it enough! Come out to me!"

He was probably confused by the pain, otherwise why the more he listened to it, the more he felt that the voice sounded like Chu Bian?
