Before leaving, after Wu Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, he still couldn't help looking at Yuan Mo, and repeatedly told him: "Young man... I told you about that... It's about my Aunt Wang... I will personally apologize to her , You must not say it outside, huh?"

Yuan Mo: "..."

……

The next night, in Guangdong City thousands of miles away, a young man in his 25s dragged his exhausted body into the subway station after finishing the night shift, and returned to his rented house to catch the last subway at night. .

He rents in an urban village close to the suburbs of Guangdong City. The management here is chaotic, and dragons and snakes are mixed. When you walk into the village, you can see garbage thrown on the ground everywhere in the narrow streets, and wires pulled randomly between floors. , the uneven concrete walls are covered with various small advertisements, and even the road under your feet is full of potholes, which makes people very depressed.

However, for domestic first-tier cities like Guangdong, even in such a place, the monthly rent is still not cheap. Get a cramped single room.

After all, he still needs to save money to meet unexpected needs and plan for his future by the way.

Back at the rental house, I turned on the light switch at the door, and I saw a bed and a simple desk. Next to the desk was a wardrobe bought from a second-hand market. This was all the furniture in the room.

The young man put on his slippers and walked in. There was a door in the innermost part of the room. After opening, there was a narrow bathroom with both toilet and bathroom.

After he entered the bathroom, he turned on the water heater to boil water for a bath, turned around and walked back to the room, threw himself on the bed exhausted, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

Their company recently took over a big client, and they have been working overtime for more than half a month. After getting off work every day, he is still tired, his mind is always in chaos, and he doesn't want to do anything except sleep.

The young man was thinking in a daze, when will such a day be the end?

One minute later, he was too tired to think too much, and his consciousness followed the relaxation of his body, and he completely fell into a dark dreamland and fell into a deep sleep.

……

In a trance, the young man felt that his consciousness seemed to have come to a strange place full of mist. Here, he seemed to see his father who had just passed away a month ago.

The other party looked not much different from the image in his memory, still smiling, very much like the smiling face that the other party showed when he saw him for the first time when he went home every year during the Chinese New Year.

Here, his father talked to him for a long time, about his childhood, about his college and work, and some things that his father encountered when he was young...

In the young man's own memory, he had never had such a long and warm conversation with his father.

Especially after he grew up, with his own social circle and his own life, his father's position in his life became less and less, and the getting along between them was gradually limited to a few phone calls a year, and A few days of annual leave during Chinese New Year.

But even in this limited time, he never got along well with his father. He always held his mobile phone every day when he came home from the annual vacation. Only when eating, the two father and son would have a short conversation at the dining table.

In this conversation, his father unilaterally asked him about his work status and urged him to find a girlfriend quickly, but he responded with a series of perfunctory nods, because he often didn't even bother to say anything because he thought the other party was annoying.

If you really want to calculate it, since he went to college, in the six or seven years, the time he really spent with his father didn't even add up to a short three months.

Even when his father had an accident, he was busy leading the new tasks assigned by the company, completely unaware that his father, who lived alone in another city, might have passed away.

It is said that when his father died, there was no one by his side, so he could only die slowly on the cold floor alone. Even the body began to emit a foul smell a week later before it was finally discovered.

Even he, the son, only found out after receiving the notice from the police station that before he knew it, his father had quietly left alone, so fast that he didn't even have time to react, so he just The people at the police station urged him to go back and deal with the funeral.

Because of the limited holidays given by the company, he hurried home, finished the funeral in a hurry, and then rushed back to Guangdong City overnight to continue to deal with the work accumulated during his leave.

Apart from being busy during this period, he actually didn't even have much time to be sad and remember his father.

He knew very well in his mind that his father had passed away, but he knew that he knew it, but he always had a vague and unreal feeling in his heart. He always felt that his father was not dead, and he still lived in the old house in his hometown. It's like waiting for him to come home every year.

……

Until this moment, in this strange and trance-like place, listening to his father's ramblings and seeing his familiar smiling face, he finally had a definite sense of reality—it turned out that his father was really dead, Everything he experienced before was not a dream.

Realizing this, the young man felt a sudden stabbing pain in his heart, a suffocating and sour feeling, which almost made him choked up so that he could not make a sound. At the same time, a strong regret was accompanied by Strong sadness welled up from the bottom of my heart.

If only he could spend more time with his father in the past, if only he could cherish the time spent together more, if only he hadn't been so busy all the time...

However, at this moment, no matter how many excuses he finds for himself, the precious time lost between him and his father can no longer be recovered.

Realizing this, the young man became more and more sad, choked up and almost breathless.

Seeing him like this, his father sighed helplessly and said, "Don't be sad. Although I'm dead, I'm living a good life down here. You don't have to worry about it. I came back to look for you not only to see you again, but also to Or for something else..."

"Look at what happened...I didn't realize it until after I died. I still have a passbook in my hand that you don't know...In it is the pension money I saved for myself. It's not much, but it's enough for you I bought a cheap car. Remember to go home and look for it, take it out and use it.”

Then, he carefully told his son where he hid the passbook and the password of the passbook.

Hearing this, the young man choked up even more.

Seeing this, his father patted his head and said, "Don't cry, I don't have much time for me. Besides seeing you, I also want to see your Aunt Wang...you know, Aunt Wang? Just live with us." That very good-looking old lady in the community, I originally thought that I could marry her back and be your stepmother...

young people:"……"

Seeing this, his father sighed again, and said, "I really have to leave this time, son, you have to live well by yourself in the future. Dad is watching you underground."

……

When the young man woke up with sobs, he still clearly remembered all the conversations between himself and his father in the dream, every word they said, every expression of his father, he remembered very clearly in his mind.

It was as if this wasn't just a simple dream, but that after he missed the last time with his father, his father came to say goodbye to him specially.

The sadness in his chest that had nowhere to vent was still there, and the young man's face was covered with wet tears, which soaked his pillow, and vented the sadness that he was late for more than a whole month.

……

At the same time, in Tianhai City thousands of miles away, a lady surnamed Wang was also experiencing the same thing as this young man.

But different from his sadness, this experience was really frightening for Ms. Wang...

……

That night, Yuan Mo found that he had run out of shampoo, and he forgot to buy it when he went back to the supermarket last time, so he took his mobile phone and went out, planning to go to the mall he had been to before to buy shampoo.

On the way to the shopping mall, he inevitably passed the square where he bumped into Wu Tiezhu again.

The aunts of the square dance are still dancing at this time, but unexpectedly, the lead dancer this time is no longer the aunt Wukao, but another strange aunt.

The old men watching the dance didn't see Aunt Wang, and they obviously lacked interest. They didn't concentrate on appreciating the dancing postures of the crowd as usual, but gathered together and whispered.

When Yuan Mo passed by them, he heard that these old men were talking about Aunt Wang, but the content was different from what he expected.

I just heard one uncle ask the other: "Are you serious? The sister of the Wang family really said that he dreamed of old man Wu?"

The other uncle patted his chest and said, "Is that true? I heard it from her with my own ears! She went downstairs with her daughter that day. I saw her complexion was not good, and she was haggard, so I went to ask. The result She told me that somehow she dreamed that Wu Tiezhu came to say sorry to her and asked her to forgive... Sister Wang was confused at first, but then she thought, isn't Wu Tiezhu dead? She was shocked immediately, Woke up from the dream right away..."

The elders were dumbfounded, and then one of them couldn't help asking: "It's just a dream, why don't you come to dance? Sister Wang likes to dance in the square. In the past, as long as it didn't rain, she But I dance every day."

The old man who spoke earlier stared and said: "What do you know? Sister Wang said that she had a different dream, but it was true. After waking up, she didn't forget a little bit of it, and she remembered it very clearly... She felt like saying Maybe it was Wu Tiezhu who really gave her a dream, she was so scared, and now she is burning incense and worshiping Buddha everywhere, hoping to ask the gods and Buddhas to bless her, so that Wu Tiezhu will not entangle her."

The men hissed, and said one after another: "Impossible? Wu Tiezhu has no grudges against Sister Wang, why pester her?"

The previous uncle immediately retorted: "What do you know? You can't pester someone who has no resentment or enmity? Don't forget how warm that old man Wu was to Sister Wang when he was alive? Others don't know what he wants to do...Old Li, didn't Wu Tiezhu fight with you before? Have you forgotten?"

The uncle named "Old Li" had a embarrassed expression on his face: "It's all in the past, why mention it?"

"It's over for you, but not necessarily for Wu Tiezhu."

"Hey, I said you old boss Wei, what do you mean? Co-author, you think that Wu will come to seek revenge on me after death for such a small matter!"

"No, I just said it casually, it can't be true, it can't be true..."

……

Yuan Mo walked past many elders and listened to gossip.

He thought to himself, Bai Wuchang had fulfilled his promise and asked Wu Tiezhu to return to the world in a dream, but this Aunt Wang obviously had no special feelings for Wu Tiezhu, so she was so scared when she saw him in the dream ...

I don't know what's going on with Wu Tiezhu's son. Have you explained the passbook and password clearly? Will there be a situation like Aunt Wang?But these two are father and son. Logically speaking, his son shouldn't be afraid after seeing him, right?

While thinking, Yuan Mo walked into the supermarket, bought shampoo and then walked back slowly.

When passing through the square again, Yuan Mo inadvertently stretched his hand into his pocket. After a while, he was shocked to find that the house key he had put in his trouser pocket before had disappeared without his knowing.

At first Yuan Mo thought he had misremembered, and thought that the key might be in another pocket, but when he searched all over his body and couldn't find it, he realized that the key was really lost.

"Damn, did you accidentally bring it out when you took out your phone just now?" Yuan Mo was thinking distressedly, while turning around, looking back along the path he just walked, hoping to find his lost key.

As a result, as soon as he walked back, he saw a young boy in slippers on the side of the road, wearing very shabby clothes, holding a bunch of keys in his hand, and vigorously picking off the nail clippers on the key ring.

Yuan Mo took a closer look, saw the familiar Iron Man keychain on the key ring, and immediately recognized that it was the bunch of keys he had lost.

Yuan Mo: "..."

Yuan Mo looked at the young man who was trying to pick off the nail clippers, and then came to pick Iron Man again, and finally couldn't help but said: "That... hello, little brother, this bunch of keys in your hand belongs to me. "

The boy paused, trembling with fright as he was picking Iron Man's fingers, he raised his head in Yuan Mo's direction, revealing a young face that was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, but full of rebelliousness.

This boy has a pair of rare ice blue eyes, but his appearance is towards the east, he seems to be of mixed race.

The way he looks at people is very lethal. When his brows are slightly frowned, there is a sense of cruelty in the sharpness, coupled with his young but well-defined facial features, it seems that he is full of enthusiasm for the whole world at all times. Like hate.

Yuanmo: emmm...

Seeing Yuan Mo staring at himself, the boy immediately showed a look of vigilance. He clenched the key chain in his hand, looked at Yuan Mo with hostility, and retorted: "I picked it up on the ground, you said it was What’s yours is yours now? Call it out and see if it agrees?”

Yuan Mo: "..."

Yuan Mo scrutinized the boy's clothes again, looking away from a distance just now, but felt that the clothes on his body were a little worn out.

But looking closer now, he found that the boy's clothes were not only worn out, but also dirty, covered with stains and mud, as if he had just rolled somewhere.

Just looking at the clothes, Yuan Mo felt that the child looked like an unwanted vagrant, but coupled with his foreign-looking appearance, and his suffocating posture... Yuan Mo also felt that he might just be a child with his family. The young master Jingui, who had a falling out and ran away from home in a fit of anger, had no money and no work to do, so he made himself into this beggar.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mo's attitude became much gentler. He said, "Which family are you from? Why are you here?"

After hearing Yuan Mo's words, the expression on the face of the blue-eyed boy in front of him became even more defensive. He looked at Yuan Mo with hostility, and his voice became much louder: "What do you want to do!"

Yuan Mo: "..."

Khan, what did he not want to do?Why is the voice suddenly so loud?It made the people around look at him a little bit wrong...

Yuan Mo hurriedly said: "No, I just saw you outside alone, afraid that you would be unsafe... If you want to go home, I can send you back."

After listening to his explanation, the blue-eyed boy's expression still didn't relax in the slightest. After staring at Yuan Mo for a few seconds, he didn't know what he thought of. His eyes sharpened sharply, and then he raised his hand. Slam the key in your hand towards Yuanmo!

"Damn it!" Yuan Mo never expected that the boy would do it as soon as he said he would do it.

He dodged the attack of the keychain in embarrassment, and when he raised his head again, the blue-eyed horse ran away like a wild horse running away.

Yuan Mo: "..."

Yuan Mo stood there in a daze, somewhat confused about what was going on.

He just kindly asked if he needed to be sent home, why was there such a big reaction?Could it be that the gap between this boy and his family is actually very deep?

Yuan Mo shook his head helplessly, while bending down to pick up the key he had dropped on the ground.At this time, all the nail clippers and Iron Man on the key chain have been removed, leaving only two bare keys.

Yuan Mo looked at the key and thought, judging by the child's appearance, he obviously had no money on him. He took off the key chain and nail clippers, maybe he planned to exchange them for food?

However, will anyone be willing to exchange it for him?

******

In the blink of an eye, it has been several months since Yaoshi opened. Relying on the market rent and a few hot items, Yuanmo's company has slowly accumulated some property.

On this day, Yuan Mo was checking the company's account statement for this month.

——This job was originally supposed to be done by the boss, Ao Fei, but the other party was too tired and kept putting off the work. Just be responsible for signing.

After looking at it, Yuan Mo discovered that there was an unidentified expenditure of hundreds of thousands in the originally good accounts, which instantly hollowed out the company's finances.

Yuan Mo was completely shocked, and hurriedly went to Bai Mang, pointed to the missing account, and asked her, "Sister Bai, what's going on? Where's our money?"

Bai Mang glanced at the report, and said flatly: "Don't panic, the money was used by the boss to buy a car."

"Buy a car?" Yuan Mo was stunned, "Why didn't I know when it happened? And... doesn't our company have a car?"

Why would they buy a Jetta when they already have one?

Bai Mang spread his hands, and made a look of helplessness: "The boss insists, who dares to stop? But he still doesn't want us to tell you, saying that you will definitely try to mess up this matter, why don't you go ask Boss?... But don't say I said it."

Yuan Mo: "..."

Yuan Mo had no choice but to go to the office to look for Ao Fei. In order to catch him off guard, Yuan Mo didn't knock on the door first this time, but chose to push the door in directly: "Boss, am I in?"

Ao Fei: "!!!"

When Yuan Mo entered the door, Ao Fei was playing with something. When he saw Yuan Mo coming in, he put the things in his hands into his pocket in panic, so that Yuan Mo could not see him.

After everything was settled, Ao Fei raised his head with a serious face, and said unhappily, "Why didn't you knock when you came in? Are there any rules?"

Yuan Mo narrowed his eyes and looked Ao Fei up and down.

Being stared at by him, Ao Fei felt uneasy, and stammered, "...w-why are you looking at me like this?"

Yuan Mo: "Boss, I heard you bought a car?"

Ao Fei was stunned: "..."

... When did this thing leak?

Then he denied it flatly: "How could this matter? Why didn't I know?"

Yuan Mo showed a suspicious expression: "Don't you know? Then what did you stuff in your pocket just now?"

"That..." Ao Fei panicked inside, but pretended to be calm on the face, trying to dispel Yuan Mo's suspicion, "It's just a pack of tissues, what's wrong?"

Yuan Mo tilted his head and looked at him: "That's just right, I'm here to borrow tissues from you, why don't you give me this pack of tissues."

Ao Fei: "..."

Ao Fei knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he just threw a tantrum and scolded the unknown informer: "It's unreasonable, who told you this! I must teach him a lesson!"

Yuan Mo's face darkened, and he couldn't help shouting: "I said you didn't, did you? You really bought a car? Where did you hide the car? How much money does our company have in total? How dare you hollow out the money?" The company account, took hundreds of thousands to buy a car??"

Ao Fei snorted, very disapproving: "It's just money, if you don't have it, you can earn it again, so there's no need to make such a fuss?"

"But we already have a car, so we don't need to spend such a large sum of money to buy a new one?"

"What do you know? How can that car be worthy of me? If I want to buy it, I will buy it." Having said this, Ao Fei showed an indignant look on his face, and said, "I originally wanted to buy Lao It’s Slessian, but this kind of car is too expensive, I can’t afford it yet, so I have to buy an Audi first, hum.”

Yuan Mo vomited blood: "...boss, Audi can't be regarded as just letting go."

Ao Fei: "So what? It's still not as good as Rolls-Royce. It's been said on the Internet that Rolls-Royce represents dignity and power—isn't this the most suitable car for me?"

"..." Yuan Mo felt speechless for a moment.

The author has something to say: Yuan Mo: Boss, be a dragon and keep a low profile.

Ao Fei: Hmph.
