Ice and charcoal in the same furnace

When Lin Yu woke up, he immediately thought about whether he had closed the door last night. He was used to closing the door tightly.When he woke up this morning, the bedroom door was ajar. Lin Yu put on a thick and heavy padded jacket, and quietly put on and took off his shoes. He walked into the corridor, and then heard someone talking in the study.

He pushed the door open and was shocked by the smoke that was lingering inside.

Min Pei was on the phone. This man was still wearing the coat he had gone out a few days ago. The hem of the gray-black coat was wrinkled. It seemed that he had been sitting for a long time.In front of the man, various documents were spread out on the table at once. Min Pei held a cigarette in his right hand. After looking at the door, he turned his attention to the phone in his left hand.Seeing this scene, Lin Yu quietly closed the door again.

Min Pei talked with the other end of the phone for a long time, and then he belatedly remembered that it was Lin Yu who had just looked at him.Min Pei charged the phone and crumpled the cigarette case again. He touched his pocket and stood up, only to realize that his legs were a little numb after sitting for a long time.

Min Pei has not taken a sip of water since he came back, and after smoking for so long, there is no taste in his throat at all, as if he has lost his sense of taste.He glanced at the time again, Lin Yu should have gone to work.

Feeling tired gradually, Min Pei closed the documents and opened the door, but was surprised to find that Lin Yu didn't go to work today.

"What's the matter?" Min Pei just asked, his voice became so hoarse that he couldn't speak.Lin Yu was sitting in front of the dining table, and was using his mobile phone to contact something. Seeing him coming out, Lin Yu reached out and gestured to the noodles on the table, "You can eat first."

Min Pei sat down and touched the chopsticks. The noodles had been left for a while, and they were hot enough, but they were a little sticky.When he tasted the first sip, the sense of taste that had been paralyzed by cigarettes seemed to be forcibly opened, and it recovered.

Lin Yu sat and watched, Min Pei swallowed more than half of it in a few gulps, gobbling it voraciously, probably without chewing.Lin Yu went to pour another glass of water, and Young Master Min slurped the noodles. While eating, he stared at Lin Yu's movements. Lin Yu knew what Min Pei wanted to ask.

"I'm taking a day off today. Eat slowly. If it doesn't work, I'll give you another one."

Min Pei shook his head and said no, he lowered his head.

"How important the end of the year is, don't delay your business."

Min Pei said so, but the fact that Lin Yu stayed gave him a lot of courage invisibly. Min Pei drank all the soup with his head held high, put down the bowl, and the first sentence was.

"I found Zhang Luo."

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, and Min Pei repeated, "I found Zhang Luo."

From six o'clock this morning until now, Min Pei finally got Zhang Luo's current phone number.His news channel is different from Han Xue's. If someone wants to hide from him, they can hide for a while.

Today is sunny, Min Pei and Lin Yu, two guys who are not at work, are sitting on the balcony basking in the sun. Min Pei puts the phone on the table, and the screen flickers, showing that a call is being dialed.

No one picked up.

Min Pei waited for a while, then stood up and opened the window a crack to let in air.On the side, Lin Yu was sitting opposite him, silently reading through all the materials that Han Xue had brought over.Zhang Luo couldn't get through on the phone, but neither of them was in a hurry.

Min Pei's cell phone became hot after holding it for a long time. He switched the call to speakerphone and threw the cell phone on the glass coffee table in front of him.During the gap between the continuous sounding of the notification tone, both of them remained silent.

After a long time, Min Pei suddenly said.

"They said that after Zhang Luo left me, he quit drugs for a period of time. He was afraid of leaving a bad record, so he didn't go to the drug rehabilitation center. Because his condition was fine, their family let him go back from the treatment center. , Uncle Zhang used to drive for our family. His skills are very good, but he is strict with his own children. Zhang Luo can't go back to Min's house. Later, I heard that Uncle Zhang asked him to go out to work..."

Lin Yu stared at the back of Min Pei's head. The sun was so bright that the edges of Min Pei's black hair were glowing red.Min Pei scratched his hair, and then scratched again.In the background of the electronic sound of 'unable to connect' constantly beeping from the mobile phone, Min Pei sighed.

"He, he can't endure hardships more than me, what kind of work can he do?"

Maybe this is the first time Min Pei has come across the meaning of the word part-time job in his life. It is different from what he used to know about sitting in the office, reading materials, going out with big bosses to visit the market, and meeting various people. The meaning of Zhang Luo's part-time job is The most basic level of coolie labor means doing things without any technical content, not even a moment of rest.

The work is cumbersome, the salary is meager, and the conditions are harsh.

Zhang Luo used to live the same life as Min Pei, from the highest point of Jincheng to the bottom, if you want to say whether Min Pei can understand it, he definitely can't understand it all at once.

After a long time, the phone beeped and got through.After a couple of hellos at the other end, Min Pei was taken aback for a moment, then spoke.

"Zhang Luo."

"Young Master Min." Zhang Luo was obviously stunned for a moment, and the man answered quickly, and Min Pei happened to say the next sentence.

"how have you been."

"Young Master Min, you are safe here."

The collision of these two sentences made the emotional contrast between the two people's tones extremely obvious.Min Pei's nostalgia collided with Zhang Luo's impatience, and now both of them were a little embarrassed. Before Min Pei could think of what to say, Zhang Luo's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"What's the matter, Young Master Min, do you remember to come to me now?"

As the third person, Lin Yu slowly put down the materials in his hand after hearing this sound. He glanced at Min Pei and saw that the face of the person in front of him had changed.Lin Yu reached out and patted Min Pei's back lightly.

Nothing.

"No, I..." Min Pei hesitated, and was interrupted in the middle of the conversation, Zhang Luo sneered, "It's been almost a year, why, you ran away after knowing that I took drugs Faster than anyone else. What else do you want to find me now?"

Min Pei froze there, Lin Yu got up and sat next to Min Pei, he tapped Min Pei's palm silently, telling him not to panic, don't be too sad.

But Min Pei's mood cannot be described in the word sad. After Zhang Luo's accident, he tried his best to find it, but the Min family tried their best to cut off the line, so Min Pei The fact that Pei trusted Zhang Luo so much, he couldn't let this hidden danger come into contact with Min Pei again.

Seeing that Min Pei's voice was gone, Zhang Luo became curious, "What's the matter, why did you remember me?"

"I……"

Min Pei stared out the window, the sun was too big, for some reason it hurt his eyes, Min Pei found words, "I just want to ask you about what happened in Jinxiling in April last year. Did you send our group to the hot spring area?" The news was sent to Li Haisheng, so that HD changed the meeting place to Jinxiling halfway, is that right?"

This incident made Zhang Luowen rub his hands, he was in a small casino in Burma right now, Zhang Luo said ahh, the croupier urged him to place a bet, Zhang Luo agreed casually.

"Yes, didn't you sit next to me and watch me play with my mobile phone?" Zhang Luo bet a big one, and added, "Why, isn't it because you didn't find out about this?"

This rhetorical question completely dispelled all Min Pei's expectations for Zhang Luo. Min Pei thought a lot, and finally only asked one sentence.

"Then, does that little girl surnamed Zhu that you told me about exist?"

This question suddenly brought back Zhang Luo's thoughts in the gambling den. He vaguely remembered the cute girl with dimples that he liked once.Just remembered this point, this game was opened, and he lost.

"*!"

Zhang Luo cursed fiercely, blaming Min Pei for distracting him with this phone call, otherwise how could he have lost.Zhang Luo didn't even think about it, and replied directly, "Min Pei, what else do you want to ask? We were not born by the same mother, so stop pretending to care about me. Let me put my words here, and I Zhang Luo from Jinxiling has come out, you don’t want me to go back, I just don’t want anything, dying on the edge of Myanmar is better than being your dog!”

"Where are you?"

Hearing this, Min Pei understood that Zhang Luo was completely unable to come back. In the past, Min Pei thought that with Zhang Luo's ability, he would be able to do well anywhere, and that the Zhang family's conditions were also considered acceptable, but he didn't. Thinking that Zhang Luo would come to this point, the sentence just now was not born by the same mother, which suddenly pulled the world of the two of them extremely far away.

He never thought that Zhang Luo would hate himself so much.

"It's not a family," Min Pei propped his forehead, "Is that why you sold my information to Li Haisheng at the beginning?"

"If you are willing to pay, I can afford Li Haisheng's information!"

Min Pei was so angry that his fingers started to tremble, his mind went blank, he couldn't say anything, only anger remained, and anger was still anger.Lin Yu put down the documents in his hand, and firmly grasped Min Pei's left hand. His and Min Pei's fingers were intertwined.

"Listen to me," Lin Yu's words fell like ice into Min Pei's furious mind, suddenly waking him up for a moment, "Now that he is like this, don't expect to make him change his mind. If After leaving the country, it will be rare for you to get him back."

Lin Yu said, "But you ask him, have Li Haisheng and his gambling debts been paid off, and how?"

Min Pei was stunned for a moment, and Lin Yu pointed to the information in his hand. Zhang Luo and Li Haisheng spent a lot of money on gambling. They didn't know why they were able to get away with such a large debt back then, and they didn't even know whether they had gambled or not. The debt is left outside.According to the current situation, they already have the idea of ​​trying to move Min Pei, and it is very likely that they will make plans for Min Pei when they encounter anything in the future.

"Let me ask you, how did you pay off that debt in Macau back then."

Min Pei just asked casually, but Zhang Luo on the other side got really nervous, "What do you mean, what do you mean, Min Pei, you gave me that card, what do you mean by that now!"

"It's nothing interesting. If you're afraid of it, you can come back."

Min Pei still left a way out for Zhang Luo, he hoped that Zhang Luo ran abroad only because he was afraid, but Zhang Luo's voice on the phone suddenly rose.

"Min Pei, what the hell do you mean? That card is only worth a little money. You are a fucking son of a bitch and you have the nerve to ask me! It was you who gave me the card! It was the password you said, and I only took the money. You What do you mean!"

All the muscles in Min Pei's body seemed to be trembling with anger. The saddest scene in the world was when two trustworthy people had their faces torn apart and bloody. Just using the simplest language can create the biggest harm.Zhang Luo couldn't explain it, he could only use these few words to criticize Min Pei back and forth, and Min Pei finally remembered the card.

It contained the pocket money Min Zhangying gave him over the years, New Year's money, and even various small incomes.Min Pei didn't calculate it, but the sum must be a large amount that Zhang Luo can't afford to repay. This card Min Pei trusted Zhang Luo to keep, together with the card he gave Zhang Luo to chase after a girl that time. , he never asked afterward.

"what do you mean."

At the end of the anger and disappointment, there was only this sentence left. Min Pei shook Lin Yu's hand, thanking him very much for being with him at this time, and he yelled back, "What do you mean, that's what you mean! You fucking don't Did you grow up eating our family food? I didn’t give you any good things right away when I was young. What you want, I will give you. I treat you as my own brother. It’s you who don’t treat yourself as a human being look!"

"I'm just not happy with your attitude. Why did you grow up eating from your family and work with my dad in your family, and his son will serve your family for the rest of his life? Pooh! You fucking said it was all mine, I Let me ask you, will you give me the whole Min family if I want it!"

Zhang Luo stood up, pushed all the money on the table to the side of the gaming table, and signaled to the dealer to play the next game, "Min Pei, listen carefully, I used the money from two of your fucking cards, now I use I earned it myself, that bitch Li Haisheng has nothing to do with me, that old bastard scares me and runs away, don’t ask me in such a f*cking way! He’s surrounded by AY people, Lao Tzu No, I'm going to come out and earn my own money!"

"Have you made money in the casino?" Min Pei asked coldly.

Zhang Luo was asked back, his eyes shifted down guilty, he stared at the plate on the table and smiled, and Shi Yi added more weight.

"Green mountains are always surrounded by green water, and feng shui takes turns. Min Pei, you wait, maybe you will beg me later!"

Min Pei stared at the sky in Longcheng, silently hung up the phone, and cut off Zhang Luo's remaining words on the other end of the phone.Lin Yu was there the whole time. After listening to the whole process, he watched Min Pei throw his phone on the table. After a long time, Min Pei said.

"Zhang Luo can't come back."

His younger brother is gone.

Lin Yu stretched out his hand, and Min Pei hugged his shoulder very cooperatively and leaned over, seeking a warm embrace.Min Pei's fluffy hair rubbed against Lin Yu's ear, and the smell of cigarettes wafted over from this man, and Lin Yu didn't dislike him either. Min Pei buried his head in his neck and whispered.

"I can't come back."

The two of them hugged for a while, Lin Yu closed his eyes, thinking about how to speak.After a while, Min Pei sniffed, reached out and took the phone again.He took out the card in front of Lin Yu, Lin Yu froze for a moment, watching Min Pei pinch off the phone card.

"Alright, as he said, the green water flows forever, we will meet each other by fate in the future, but I don't think I will see him in the future." Min Pei threw the card on the ground, as if he had abandoned countless things. In the past, Lin Yu knew that this person was unhappy, and asked, "Do you still have cigarettes?"

Min Pei took a bag from his pocket and handed it over. Lin Yu glanced at it and joked, "Who gave this to you?"

"Your dad thought you were bullying me and wouldn't let me smoke, so he secretly stuffed a box for me." Min Pei handed over the cigarette, and Lin Yu didn't care about quitting smoking. He took the cigarette with his mouth in his mouth.

"You can do that. Everyone else takes cigarettes to honor the father-in-law, but you are the only one who took the cigarettes back."

Min Pei knew that Lin Yu was teasing him, but after Lin Yu said that, the atmosphere suddenly became better.Min Pei and Lin Yu stared out of the window with cigarettes in their mouths, sitting side by side, silent.

Fingers intertwined, the sun silently shone down, warming the two of them, and the air was suddenly terribly quiet, as if nothing had happened just now, and those words seemed to have never existed.

Lin Yu flicked the cigarette ash, and Min Pei said suddenly.

"Did you see the last paragraph of the information? Li Haisheng said that he was my own father who joined AY. It seems that I am really a fat fish. Everyone thinks that I am easy to talk about this person who has gone to heaven and earth."

"Pull it down, the fat fish in the sea are flexible, you're still a little short." Lin Yu smiled with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Lin Yu, listen to me."

Min Pei held the man's hand. Lin Yu's fingers were long and slender, and they were obviously skinny when they were entangled. Min Pei's palm was firm, "I want to teach those who look down on me and want to get something from me a lesson. I want them to know how powerful they are, and that there are certain things that cannot be touched."

Min Pei paused for a moment.

"I want you to help me."

The person beside him squinted his eyes, and Lin Yu slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

"Okay."

a little tail.

In a small town far away in Myanmar, Zhang Luo pressed too hard just now, and after doubling the pressure, it ended up disappearing all at once.He was jealous of losing, so he started to borrow money. In just one afternoon, he borrowed more money than he put in today. Seeing that there was no hope of making money, Zhang Luo wanted to leave. come over.

Zhang Luo panicked. When he came here, he was completely disconnected from his family. He changed his phone number and everything. Not to mention that outsiders could find him, he couldn't even contact his family.Seeing that the other party had taken out the sticks, which were still stained with blood, Zhang Luo was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down on the spot and begged his grandpa to tell his grandma.

"Yes, yes, there is money," he thought of the money, and one of them was indeed taken out. Zhang Luo pressed the phone and called back, but the other end became empty.
