I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 259 Favor and Humanity

Before I knew it, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, because there were still guests who hadn't come back, so I had to wait for a while... In the past two days, the police station issued a public security announcement to those of us who are inns, and we need help to confirm everyone The whereabouts of the guests, in case there are accidents outside the guests who do not return at night.

I support this kind of people-oriented measure, because the sudden increase in the number of tourists has increased the occurrence of accidents, but the local police force is limited, and it is impossible to supervise every corner, so we are more needed as inn owners Track the safety of guests from the source.

I sent a message to the guests, and they replied, saying that I was playing in the bar and would not be back until around two o'clock. I didn't rush them, and I chose to wait patiently as always...

Before this, I was a little lost, thinking that making money was easy; but after really digging deeper, I gradually admitted that what I earned was a hard-earned money, because every penny in it was accumulated with hard work.

What about Tetsuo?In fact, it is also very hard, because he and I do the same job; it is a pity that his income did not satisfy his desire for material things, so he chose to walk a disgraceful evil path, I can sympathize with him, But I will definitely not recognize him...and this is also the bottom line for me to examine human nature.

Come to think of it, desire is really terrible. Once it dominates people, they will not live like humans... I still remember the first time I saw Tetsuo, he was so unruly, but within half a year, he became up...

I really want to know what kind of mental journey he went through before such a change, but I never had the chance to get in touch with him... and all I can know, or see, is only a future He who can never fly.

……

After stopping these thoughts, I said to Yang Sisi who was always with me: "Go to sleep, if you want hot water, you can use a quick pot to boil it...I have a thermos here, you can use it."

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I have to wait for the last group of guests to come back."

Yang Sisi complained: "Why are these people so unconscious, don't you know that you are waiting for them?... In other words, you are also careless enough, and you are not their guardian, why should you guard them like a parent? !"

"These people who go to work only come out to play once or twice a year. If they want to have a good time, that's right, so don't complain."

"Then can you not be short-hearted? Go to bed quickly."

I looked at Yang Sisi, pressed my temples, and replied: "It's not a lack of thoughtfulness, it's a responsibility... Do you still remember the slogan when we opened the inn (I'll wait for you in the wind, flowers, snow and moon)?"

Yang Sisi blurted out: "Every guest is our family.

I smiled: "Then why not wait for them?" After a short pause, I said again: "Although this is just a temporary inn, I still want to continue this spirit... because I am waiting for myself The food and clothing of parents are family members."

Yang Sisi looked at me and asked me with some doubts: "Are you really a person with so much persistence in your heart?"

"If I can persist, I choose to persist; if I can't persist, I will choose to give up... just like Shanghai, or someone..."

"Then what can you hold on to?"

"Stay in Dali."

Yang Sisi looked at me with playful eyes, then moved a chair and sat down beside me, and then said to me: "Why don't you come back at two o'clock, then I will wait with you."

"Go to sleep, you've been tired all day."

Yang Sisi seemed to reply with obsession: "I like the feeling of waiting, and I can still wait... Unless those guests lie to you, they won't come back overnight."

After speaking, Yang Sisi sat on the chair, and then picked up the phone, as if playing a mobile game.

However, I can't adapt to her silent company... because I will feel guilty... If there must be a balance between us, the insignificant kindness I treat her is not comparable to her current company .

This is indeed a difficult situation; besides, she returned to Shanghai from abroad, and then came to Dali from Shanghai, and encountered a thrilling super-strong air current on the way...

When I was thinking about this, my mood gradually became complicated, and then I took a peek at her...Actually, she and I have a lot in common...The most iron and worst part of us is that mouth; if you don't care about her She is really the most well-behaved girl in the world for those words that can choke people to death.

It's a pity that when I really understood her, it was when I was facing difficulties, not when I was relaxed and freehand.

……

Probably because she was too tired, Yang Sisi only persisted for 10 minutes, then leaned back on the chair and fell asleep, and the phone had fallen between her legs, flickering slightly... It was the first time I noticed that her eyes were closed It turns out that her eyelashes are so long and her skin is so white, like a porcelain doll that will shatter if touched accidentally.

The next moment, I gently picked her up and put her on my bed. She was in a deep sleep and didn't notice the whole process. Even when I took off her shoes, she was in the same position and didn't move. .

Before I turned off the light, I found the key to another room and left alone; on the way, I finally met the group of guests returning from the bar, and I felt like a stone fell from my heart, thinking that I could finally Get a good night's sleep.

However, when I was lying on the bed, I was troubled by new problems again; if people from the Public Security Bureau asked me to assist in the investigation tomorrow, should I tell them the details of Tetsuo's purchase of the house?

Although I don't know much about criminal investigation, I also know that this detail has a strong directional effect on solving the case, because Tetsuo has to explain reasonably where the money came from to pay the down payment for the house... In fact, it is also It was tantamount to passively admitting that during the illegal operation of the inn, in addition to the regular income, there was also a darker income.

Although I already had a tendency in my heart, such a choice still made me feel very painful... I never thought that instead of being able to help Tetsuo in the end, I would personally push him into the bottomless abyss; From now on, he will only hate me more.

But I have to do this, because people live in this world and cannot distinguish between black and white.

I even hope that Tetsuo can wake up from this lesson... This may not be a bad thing for him.He is really a very stubborn and impulsive man. If he didn't have this slap in the face, then today he would dare to allow others to take drugs; tomorrow, when his desires become more inflated, he might reach out to the sinful area of ​​​​drug trafficking. That is the real heinous crime.

……

In the morning, I woke up with the sound of the alarm clock I set, and after I washed up like a routine, I walked out of the room and wanted to buy something to eat, but I happened to meet Yang Sisi who came back to the commercial street from outside; she was carrying two bags in her hand. It's just a convenience bag, which contains the breakfast bought from McDonald's.

She didn't say much, but just handed me one of them, and after I took it from her, she said: "Send me all the registration information of the guests... If someone checks out later If so, I'll help you."

"You can go directly to the computer to check, the power-on password is six six."

"It's the one that's downstairs with you?"

"Well... Some customers paid the deposit in cash. I will give you 5000 yuan in cash later, and you can refund it according to the amount on the deposit slip."

"Understood...then I won't go to Sister Taozi's side today, please comfort her well...persuade her to look away."

I nodded, Yang Sisi glanced at me, then turned and walked to the other side of the room.

I stopped her, and she looked back at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Just wanted to say thank you."

"Can you not see outside like this?"

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Yang Sisi smiled slightly, and replied: "Compared to Ye Zhi and your fake show, what I did is actually quite insignificant... If she hadn't cooperated with you back then, you should have been driven back to Shanghai by your father, right?" , how can I stick to Dali like I am now, and say that I am a person with persistence and dreams."

"Is it okay not to say these things?"

"No, unless you have the ability to say a funny thing and amuse me."

"It's important to go to Tao Zi first, and I'll come back to tease you at night..."

"When you're talking nonsense, can you stop being so serious?"

I grinned at Yang Sisi and smiled silly...Yang Sisi couldn't hold back anymore, and smiled along with me.

Look, she is so coaxable; or, the so-called happiness is not complicated, sometimes it is just a word, an expression, and a movement.

……

On the way to "Ma Jiuyi", I received a call from Wang Xiaoling; she said that she wanted me to go to the police station to assist them in their investigation; to be honest, when I received this call, my first feeling was nervousness and embarrassment .

Although I have a sense of proportion in my heart, the pressure is still enormous if I really want to reveal the details of Tetsuo's purchase of a house...

I will think of the night when I first came to Dali, Tie Nan rode a motorcycle to the ancient city to pick me up. Although this is not a human favor, but on such a lonely night, there is such a person who is willing to talk to you and tell you Dali in your eyes is actually a great comfort; from then on, all my thinking about Dali is inseparable from what he told me at the beginning. kind of guidance.

But in the end, he was the one who went astray.

I also thought of Director Ma’s entrustment before he left. He told me to take more care of Tie Nan; even though I believe that Director Ma is a person with very upright views, this kind of failure still makes me feel guilty towards him; I know that he and Tetsuo have a deep class friendship, and their journey over the years has really come through water and fire.

And Tao Zi, if she knew that I had reported Tie Nan, she would probably hate me too, and at this time, it is impossible to expect her to treat it rationally... At least, in the years I have known her, Tie Nan is her only A man who is willing to sacrifice himself and love with all his heart.

At this moment, all the pressure and possible consequences are like a giant net that has been precisely woven, covering me tightly...I suddenly long for such a smart person who can give me some guidance... Otherwise, entangled between humanity and human feelings, I will be very painful!
