Retreat

Qiao Mudong drove the car on the way out of the city, and the car in front of them was Hong Minhang's car.

He Yu looked at the car in front of him, was stunned for a while, and asked Qiao Mudong, "The man surnamed Hong is Brother Li's younger brother."

Qiao Mudong said: "Not his own, Li Tang is Hong Xiangfeng's godson." After finishing speaking, Qiao Mudong added, "Hong Xiangfeng is Hong Minhang's father."

He Yu nodded. Apart from not knowing Li Tang's identity, he can more or less guess the relationship of other people now, but, "That's how you should be a brother. Why did those people under Hong Minhang mention Brother Li?" Is this the attitude?"

Qiao Mudong was silent for a while, just when He Yu thought he didn't want to answer him, Qiao Mudong turned his head and said suddenly, "Will you go to my place tonight?"

He suddenly changed the subject, so that He Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What? Is it an exchange?"

Qiao Mudong said: "Li Tang has nothing to do with me, what do you think I am for?"

He Yu turned his head and looked out the car window, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, he knew that Qiao Mudong was here to help him, even if the ultimate goal was to have sex with him, at least Qiao Mudong didn't threaten him with this, he still felt grateful to Qiao Mudong from the bottom of his heart of.But being moved was moved, He Yu still couldn't help but mocked: "For what? To let me spend the night at your place tonight?"

Hearing this, Qiao Mudong raised his hand and patted the steering wheel hard.

He Yu knew that he was angry, and he probably wanted to slap him on the face with that slap.

Qiao Mudong's anger was quickly suppressed by himself. He felt that He Yu was right. Why did he go to such lengths to help him? Didn't he just want to coax him to do it for him?No, probably not more than once.But no matter how many times, it's not just that he wants He Yu to fall in love with him.

At this time, the car was already on the highway and heading towards the cemetery outside the city.

He Yu calmed down and silently looked at the scenery outside the window.It is the transition season between spring and summer, the sky is blue and fresh, and there are endless farmlands as far as the eye can see. It seems to be a very suitable day for outings in the city.

It's a pity that no one cared to appreciate it. Two cars, one behind the other, headed towards Tailing Cemetery in the suburb without stopping. It only took an hour from leaving the city to arriving at the destination.

When He Yu got out of the car, he checked the time. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.He and Qiao Mudong hadn't bothered to have lunch yet, and they were a little hungry now.

The car was parked in the parking lot, and Hong Minhang got out of the car with two young men, both of whom were under his command.One of them went to the florist at the entrance of the cemetery to buy a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Hong Minhang.

Qiao Mudong also went to buy a bunch of flowers, then led He Yu and followed Hong Minhang up the mountain.

Since Qiao Mudong didn't care about other people's eyes, he always led He Yu wherever he went, so He Yu let him go and followed obediently.

This cemetery is also the cemetery where He Yu's mother was buried. The last time He Yu came here, he followed Fu Chenshan.

However, unlike the compact tomb of He Yu's mother, Hong Xiangfeng's cemetery stood alone in a large open space, surrounded by green pines, and there were garden rockeries, pond arch bridges in front of it, which was almost ridiculously luxurious.

Hong Xiangfeng started his business as a dead man.The shop on Xiangzhu Street was first handed down from his parents and handed over to him.However, Hong Xiangfeng was not willing to simply sell some joss paper money. He was probably the first group of people in this city to start a big funeral business.Soon, Hong Xiangfeng discovered that the one-stop funeral and interment service business he was engaged in was hugely profitable, and the money naturally came in a steady stream. Seeing that Hong Xiangfeng had made a fortune, other people were unwilling to lag behind and began to want to get a share of the pie.Hong Xiangfeng has a dark heart and he doesn't want others to cut his cake, so he gathered many relatives and friends to do it with him.There are so many courageous people, and when they were the most powerful, they went directly to the hospital to snatch people to death. Hong Xiangfeng seemed to be the "corpse tyrant" in the North District of Chongfeng City. His colleagues had no way to compete with him, so they could only avoid him.

Seeing that money was easy to come by, Hong Xiangfeng was restless about only doing funeral business, and he had such a large group of people. Since he wanted money and people, Hong Xiangfeng began to get involved in some illicit businesses, including opening several small businesses. casino.Immediately, he also felt that this kind of business would not last long, so he started other legal and legitimate investments, opening some entertainment venues and hotels.Later, he invested in real estate and stocks, and became a member of the upper class of society.

As for Li Tang, he followed Hong Xiangfeng since he was a child. His godson often liked Hong Xiangfeng more than Hong Minhang's real son.

From a distance, He Yu saw Li Tang kneeling in front of Hong Xiangfeng's tomb. Although his legs were bent, his back was still straight. Only his head was slightly drooping, and his hair covered his eyes.Because he was taken out of the restaurant in the middle of the night, Li Tang only wore a pair of boxer shorts and a tight vest.Although it was almost May, the temperature was not considered high, and it must be unbearable to wear such thin clothes.

There were four or five young people standing beside Li Tang, smoking cigarettes and chatting, it seemed that they were just trying to keep Li Tang from leaving.

Seeing Li Tang like this, He Yu couldn't help pushing Qiao Mudong away from holding his hand, and ran towards Li Tang.

Those young people hurried up to stop him, and some people saw Hong Minhang and greeted him one after another: "Brother Hong."

He Yu was full of anger, and kicked the thigh of the person in front of him, "Let go!"

The man was in pain, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to punch He Yu in the face.

Qiao Mudong and Hong Minhang saw each other and shouted at the same time: "Stop!"

It's a pity that he was a step too late. Although the man withdrew his strength, he still brushed the corner of He Yu's mouth with his fist, and immediately turned red.

Qiao Mudong was so aggressive that he wanted to go up and beat someone up, but Hong Minhang quickly stopped him, and at the same time said to the young people: "Let him go! That's Master Qiao's friend, don't mess around!"

Those people hesitated and relaxed.

He Yu struggled to break away from them, then pushed away the person in front of him, and walked to Li Tang's side.He bowed his body and called out: "Brother Li."

Li Tang moved a little slowly, but still looked back at He Yu, and said softly, "I'm fine, you guys go back."

He Yu was stunned for a moment, seeing Li Tang looking back at Hong Xiangfeng's tombstone again, so he took off his coat and put it on Li Tang's back.Li Tang didn't refuse, but turned his head to look at He Yu, showing a smile, "It's really nothing, you go back first, tell them to rest for two days, you still have to go to work on Saturday, don't be lazy."

He Yu squatted down beside him and asked, "Brother Li, are you really alright?"

Li Tang said: "It's okay, I'm here to pay homage to my godfather, what can I do?"

As soon as the words fell, a young man slapped Li Tang on the back of the head, causing Li Tang's head to shake and hang down. The man threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth and cursed: "Shameless thing, you deserve to be called Master Hong!" Godfather?"

Hong Minhang's face turned a little cold, and he said slowly, "Get out of the way."

Several young people looked at Hong Minhang in astonishment, and stepped back at the same time.

Holding flowers in his arms, Hong Minhang walked slowly to Hong Xiangfeng's tomb, and then placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone. He never looked at Li Tang, but said softly, "Dad, today is your death day, and my son came to visit you specially." .”

The young man who came with Hong Minhang handed him a stick of incense, and then helped him light the incense with a lighter.Holding the incense in his hand, Hong Minhang knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times before inserting the incense into the small incense burner in front of the tombstone.

Hong Minhang stood up, pointed at Li Tang suddenly, and said loudly: "This person, my father said before he passed away, no one is allowed to hold him accountable, no one is allowed to touch him! If you let me know in the future, whoever is guilty Let me punish him, I will not let it go easily!"

Those young people shrank and lowered their heads.

Hong Minhang walked towards Qiao Mudong again, "Mu Dong, thank you for coming to worship my father."

Qiao Mudong said: "It should be." Then he walked to Hong Xiangfeng's grave, presented flowers, and said, "Uncle Hong, Mu Dong came to see you. You treated me to a lot of popsicles when I was young, and Mu Dong remembered it."

Hong Minhang laughed and said: "My dad has always liked you, saying that the kid from the Qiao family will be a promising person when he grows up."

Qiao Mudong snorted and didn't say anything.

Hong Minhang said again: "He is here, if you want to take it away, you can take it away. My company still has something to do, so I have to go back, excuse me first."

Qiao Mudong raised a hand and said, "Go slowly."

Hong Minhang waved his hand with a smile, and then nodded to He Yu.

He Yu also nodded out of politeness.Seeing the group of people leaving with Hong Minhang, he, Qiao Mudong, and Li Tang were the only ones left in front of the tomb, He Yu went to help Li Tang again, "Brother Li, they left, you can follow us too. "

Li Tang still said the same words: "I'm fine, you guys go first."

Qiao Mudong came over and pulled He Yu up, "If he likes to kneel, let him kneel."

"But--"

"It's nothing!" Qiao Mudong interrupted him, "He won't feel comfortable if he doesn't kneel enough."

He Yu heard the meaning of Qiao Mudong's words, and also saw Hong Minhang's attitude towards Li Tang, and he also had some vague guesses in his heart, so he stood up and said to Li Tang: "We are waiting for you in the parking lot. Come down and let's go back together."
