Retreat

Li Tang returned the house he had rented for more than ten years, took out all his deposits in the bank, and rented two adjacent shops on Renxin Road to open a small restaurant.

Hong Xiangfeng promised the house, and Hong Minhang later asked Li Tang to transfer the ownership to him, but Li Tang directly refused, saying that he didn't need it.

Sitting in the small room on the second floor of Shiyouwei, looking down from the window, Li Tang said that this is the life that suits him. If he hadn't met Hong Xiangfeng when he came out of his hometown, he should be like most people from the countryside. Like the young people who come out, find a place to work, save some money to marry a wife and have children, maybe they can stay in the city in the future, maybe go back to their hometown to build a house and it will be over for a lifetime.

As for meeting He Yu and Qiao Mudong later, it was an accident that Li Tang did not expect.

When Hong Minhang was murdered by Hong Xiangjun's brothers and was lying in the hospital almost dying, it was Qiao Mudong who stood up to help Li Tang, so that Li Tang had the opportunity to meet Hong Minhang.In his life, Li Tang was most afraid of being in debt to others. If he had already paid off what he owed to the Hong family, then he really didn't know how to pay back what he owed to Qiao Mudong.

He thought that Hong Minhang was discharged safely and returned to Dihong, so he would have nothing to do with him, but unexpectedly, something happened to Qiao Mudong and he was sent to the detention center.Li Tang also felt uncomfortable seeing He Yu like that, so in order to help He Yu and Qiao Mudong, he went to see Hong Minhang again.

Hong Minhang was not too surprised that Li Tang came to see him because of Qiao Mudong. He sat behind his big desk and asked Li Tang: "That He Yu, is it very important to you now?"

Li Tang thought about it seriously, "It's a very important friend."

Hong Minhang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number, after the call was connected, Li Tang heard Hong Minhang say: "Old Gao, please do me a favor, it's about a friend. "

After saying a few words, Hong Minhang hung up the phone, tore off a post-it note from the table, wrote his name and phone number, and handed it to Li Tang, "This is Lawyer Gao, Di Hong's legal advisor. Quite a treat, I told him and he'll get in touch with you later."

Li Tang looked at the name on the note, but he didn't recognize it. After Hong Xiangfeng died, Hong Minhang had no scruples. He cleared away many of Hong Xiangfeng's former subordinates in Dihong, and the remaining Hong Xiangjun brothers, after all, occupied Holding Dihong's shares, Hong Minhang didn't know why he didn't touch them until Hong Minhang's accident.

Li Tang said thank you.

Hong Minhang put his elbows on the table and said with a smile, "You're welcome. If you have time, can you have a meal with me?"

Li Tang had just asked Hong Minhang for help, so it was not easy to refuse at this time, so he stood up and said, "Okay."

Hong Minhang said: "Wait for me, I still have some things to finish, half an hour at most."

Li Tang nodded, walked to the side of the sofa, casually picked up a business magazine on the coffee table and flipped through it. He sat on the sofa and flipped through the book from beginning to end without reading a single word.Putting down the magazine and looking up at Hong Minhang, the memory suddenly returned to the time when Hong Minhang just returned to China, he was also like this, doing nothing to accompany him at Hong Minhang’s office every day, he was really bored and fell asleep on the sofa Pass.

Li Tang looked at Hong Minhang in a daze, Hong Minhang noticed his gaze, and when he raised his head, Li Tang did not avoid it.

Hong Minhang smiled and asked Li Tang, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Li Tang said whatever he wanted.

When the voice fell, it suddenly started to rain cats and dogs outside.There was just a bang, and then dense raindrops suddenly fell down. Both of them were taken aback, and turned their heads to look out the window.

Li Tang stood up, walked to the window, watched the people on the street rushing to avoid the rain, and lightly pressed his palm on the glass window.

Hong Minhang also stood up and said, "It's raining, so don't go outside, go to my place."

Hong Minhang moved out of Hong's old house.After Hong Xiangfeng's accident, Sister Hua felt scared at home alone every day, and she didn't even dare to go up to the second floor. After two months, she resigned with Hong Minhang.

Hong Minhang sat alone in the study where Hong Xiangfeng died, thinking about what Li Tang said about the nightmare. He wondered if Li Tang was also afraid of Hong Xiangfeng's dead ghost just like Sister Hua.If that's the case, if he wanted Li Tang to come back to him, would he have to stay away from Hong Xiangfeng so that Li Tang could never think of Hong Xiangfeng again?

Hong Minhang found a new house in the most prosperous area in the south of the city, with a large park next to it. From the balcony of his home, he could see the clear artificial lake in the park and the green plants everywhere.

The whole home is decorated in warm tones, with light yellow walls, soft fabric sofas, and even the lights are bright and warm orange.

Li Tang was a little surprised when he followed Hong Minhang in. This house is more suitable for a family of three with children, not for a single man like Hong Minhang.

Before going home, Hong Minhang called to the nearby supermarket to help deliver the goods. When he got home, the ordered dishes were delivered, and they were all fresh ingredients. Hong Minhang told Li Tang that he would cook for him eat.

Hong Minhang put on his apron and went to the kitchen, while Li Tang sat on the sofa and looked at his house.

Although the decoration looks soft and warm, there are actually very few things in the house. If you look closely, you will find that there is no family feeling, and there is not even a single photo. The sofa and coffee table are very clean, and the owner does not seem to often Staying at home, sanitation is also hired cleaners to clean regularly.

Li Tang swayed around on the balcony, returned to the living room, walked to Hong Minhang's bedroom, and gently pushed the door open.The room is very tidy, the quilt is stacked on the pillow, there is no wrinkle on the blanket, and the color is light green.The only thing that stands out is a plush toy cat lying on Hong Minhang's bed. Its fur is yellow and white. It is the same color as the cat on Hong Minhang's Xiangzhu Street before, but the big face , with a sweet smile.

The toy cat is very big, half the height of an adult, and it is big enough for Hong Minhang to sleep in his arms.

Li Tang suddenly felt as if his heart had been poked by something, and it became sore, numb and swollen.

Hong Minhang was still busy in the kitchen, Li Tang closed the door of the room, went back to the balcony and smoked a cigarette.

Dinner was very simple, because Hong Minhang didn't know how to cook, he fried two steaks, the taste was not very good, and the heat was average, and Li Tang didn't like western food, he preferred fried Chinese food. vegetable.

But Li Tang still ate very cleanly.

After eating, when Hong Minhang was clearing the table, Li Tang helped him put away the plates, "I'll do it." He moved swiftly, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, quickly washing up a pile of dishes, chopsticks and frying pans. Clean it, and then wipe the cabinets with a rag.

When leaving, Hong Minhang originally wanted to send Li Tang off, but Li Tang refused. After his car was sold, he only had a second-hand van to buy goods, and he didn’t usually drive it very much. He took the bus or took a taxi, and gradually got used to it. up.

In the end, Hong Minhang didn't insist, and Li Tang left alone.

After that, he didn't see Hong Minhang for a long time, and Li Tang ran around with He Yu until he found evidence and rescued Qiao Mudong from the detention center.And during these times, Li Tang was helping Qiao Mudong take care of all his business. Li Tang was so busy that he was dizzy. When Qiao Mudong came back, he would return everything to him and ask for leave for a few days.

Li Tang went back to Xiangzhu Street, without any special purpose, just wanted to see if Hong Minhang's beloved lazy cat was still there, but only after arriving did he find out that the cat passed away two months ago.So Li Tang went to the pet market again and found a kitten that was very similar in color to Hong Minhang's cat. Li Tang hesitated and bought the kitten.

Li Tang did not give the kitten to Hong Minhang. Hong Minhang had been away from Xiangzhu Street for so many years, and it seemed that he had never planned to bring his cat back to him. From Li Tang's point of view, what he needed might not be the real one. That cat, so Li Tang just planned to keep this cat by his side.

The kitten has been biting Li Tang's slippers ever since he came home with Li Tang, and Li Tang never thought about giving it a name. He poured out the cat food and milk bought in the supermarket and put it in front of it. I don't know what to do.

Now this apartment is rented by Li Tang separately, and the food has become more lively, so he can't live anymore, so he rents a small apartment with an elevator and lives alone.

Looking at the kitten spinning around under his feet every day, Li Tang would always think of Hong Minhang. In fact, Hong kitten is not a kitten. It is clearly a decisive and brave big cat, but it was young at that time and looked gentle. Harmless, just like a cute kitten.

Then one day, Li Tang suddenly received a call from Hong Minhang, Hong Minhang only asked him a question, "Did you see me that day, did you go back and have a nightmare?"

Li Tang was stunned at the time, and it took a long time to react. Hong Minhang still remembered what he had said. He told him at that time that whenever he saw him, he would think of the gunshot in Hong Xiangfeng's chest. It was like a nightmare.

Li Tang replied: "No." He didn't have a nightmare, and he didn't think of Hong Xiangfeng for a long time.

Hong Minhang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then are you free? Let's have dinner together tonight."

Li Tang hesitated for a moment.

Hong Minhang said: "It's okay, if it's inconvenient, let's do it next time." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Li Tang held the phone and stood there in a daze for a while.

The kitten was at his feet, scratching his slippers with its paws, Li Tang squatted down, and stroked the top of its furry head.The kitten looked up at Li Tang for a while, then lowered its head and continued to scratch

The author has something to say: Thanks to bluefish and sanwenyupchy for mines, as well as mine X2 that just made people fool people!

What I want to say is that it's almost time to end. In fact, the two of them didn't have much conflict. Hong Minhang shot to save Li Tang. Li Tang didn't have too many reasons to be entangled. Time passed and he put down a lot of things. .I'm sorry that the episode took too long. The original plan was [-] to [-] words, but I couldn't control it-- there are probably one or two chapters to finish
