Thousand Willows

"Brother Liu, do you think it's really appropriate for us to do this?" In the car, Liu Hao sat on the co-pilot's seat with some embarrassment, but his eyes couldn't help but glanced at the highway outside the window.

"Appropriate." Liu Minhui replied while driving.

"But..." Liu Hao still had some

They have been driving all the way for more than two hours. It gets dark early in winter. It is already past seven o'clock at this time, and it is already dark outside.

Only one car light flashed past again and again.

"Didn't you call just now? Now you're asking me if it's okay? Aren't you afraid that I'll throw you on the highway?" Liu Minhui turned off the stereo, and the car suddenly fell silent.He spoke slowly, but with some impatience.

"I... no... I just..." Liu Hao suddenly felt the oppressive force on Liu Minhui's body, he was a little incoherent, he didn't know what to say or not to say anything.

"Money is not so easy to earn, what do you think?" Liu Minhui raised the corners of his mouth, and changed into a more relaxed tone.

Liu Hao also felt this change, nodded hastily, and let out a sigh of relief.I thought this money is hard to earn, but it is easy to spend!The price Liu Minhui offered was very good. Liu Hao agreed as soon as he heard it, and then made a phone call according to Liu Minhui's request. Now, the two of them are speeding towards their destination, and they are expected to arrive at their destination in an hour.

Jiang Yizhong stared at the bright screen, sitting in a daze in the company. Since he arrived in the company in the afternoon, he has been out of his mind. His mind is full of mixed leeks, and he can't make sense of it.He wanted to call Liu Minhui to ask about the money, and also wanted to ask about other things - for example, what was going on between the two of them?But Jiang Yizhong picked up the phone and put it down again, feeling tangled in his heart.On the one hand, he was worried that Liu Minhui wouldn't be able to spend that much money for a while, and on the other hand, he was worried what would happen to him if Liu Minhui gave out so much money?What can I pay back?

The more Jiang Yizhong thought about it, the more troubled he became, but his hand reached for the phone again.

The call was dialed, Jiang Yizhong wanted to hang up.

But, it was too late, the phone had already been answered.

"Hey, Yizhong, what's the matter?" Liu Minhui's voice seemed a little cold. When Jiang Yizhong heard it, all the words he wanted to ask just now were blocked between his teeth.

"What's the matter, are you talking?" Liu Minhui continued to ask.

"It's nothing, it's a wrong dial, you should be busy." Jiang Yizhong hung up the phone after speaking, he knew in his heart that this cold feeling was due to "caring".

Liu Hao, who was sitting in the car, heard it, but asked inappropriately: "President Jiang's phone number?"

"Yeah." Liu Minhui nodded, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Hearing Jiang Yizhong's tone, he became so unfamiliar after a day, which made him very unhappy.

"Brother Liu, you are always so mean to Jiang! You are so loyal! You are a friend!" Liu Hao took the opportunity to flatter him, after all, he wanted to earn Liu Minhui's money now.

Liu Minhui snorted very unobtrusively, and was too lazy to answer this question.But suddenly thought of something, and asked Liu Hao: "Did Jiang Yizhong have a girlfriend when he was in your company?"

"Hey, he knows about work all day long, and then he finally hooked up with a girl at the front desk before us, but it didn't work out. It's really unlucky. I don't know what happened. It seems that he just doesn't have much luck. There is a little girl who is interested in him, and it will be nothing if he goes out to play twice..." Liu Hao suddenly regained his energy when he heard this topic, this is exactly the gossip information he is good at, and he got all kinds of information from various people , Put together, it is the gossip he has mastered.

"Oh..." Liu Minhui nodded meaningfully after listening.

Jiang Yizhong hung up the phone and left the company. He bought a pack of cigarettes from the convenience store downstairs and squatted on the edge of a small park not far from the company. It was still very low, and it was very cold. Jiang Yizhong's hands and face were flushed with cold.

"Young man, can I borrow a fire?" A middle-aged man in his forties came over. He was wearing a suit and a long black down jacket. He also looked like someone from a nearby office building.

Jiang Yi raised his head, looked at the man, and then handed over the lighter.

"Thanks." The man lit the cigarette, returned the lighter, and squatted beside Jiang Yizhong.

Jiang Yizhong smoked one after another, and after a while, he finished smoking half a pack.

But the middle-aged man only smoked one, and squatted silently looking at his mobile phone. The light from the mobile phone screen shone on his face. There were many years of wrinkles and folds on his face, but overall, this When he was young, he was handsome and angular.

There is no wind in the corner where they are squatting, but the light is not clear, and it looks obscure and deserted.

"Young man, if you smoke like this, you will get lung cancer sooner or later. You should take good care of your body, you are still young." The middle-aged man said while looking at his phone without looking at his head, but these words were obviously meant for Jiang Yizhong to hear.

Jiang Yizhong smiled, lit another cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Yes, smoking is harmful to health, we all know, but don't we all continue to do it?"

"Let's smoke less." The middle-aged man said in a tone commonly used by elders.

"After smoking this one, I won't smoke today." Jiang Yi smiled heavily, took two more puffs, and then slowly exhaled.The smoke hung in front of him, making it difficult for him to see what was in front of him.This feeling made him feel that it was in line with his current state of mind, so he did the same thing, trapping himself in a cloud of smoke.

The middle-aged man stood up, greeted Jiang Yizhong and left. Before leaving, he said to him: "Young man, life is precious, you should cherish it."

Jiang Yizhong grinned and said he knew.

This reminded him of his father who passed away several years ago. He didn't smoke before, but his father smoked, and he smoked a lot. The family tried to persuade him, but no one could persuade him.

"There are so many smokers in this world, some of them don't live well! It depends on luck. I'm lucky. You don't have to worry." Jiang Yizhong's father had really good luck before. From a small salesman to one of the best wholesalers of Chinese herbal medicines in their local small county, and then to owning their own production base and factory, it only took about [-] years.

Jiang Yizhong thought of his father's accidental car accident. Before that, Jiang Yizhong really felt that his father had a high chance of getting lung cancer, and he would definitely have to fight the disease for a while in the end. As a result, the car accident came first before the lung cancer developed.

Life is really impermanent.

Jiang Yizhong remembered that his ex-girlfriend Ge Xiaofei once told him that a person's good luck is predestined, it is limited, and it will be gone when it is used up.So, his father's good fortune may have been used too much, too quickly, in the first half of his life, to lead to that disaster.If this is the case, Jiang Yizhong really hopes that their family is just an extremely ordinary family. He would rather his father be mediocre all his life, with no achievements and no skills, but as long as he is safe and sound.The four members of their family can all be safe and sound, and it is good to be with the beautiful...

Jiang Yizhong fell into a kind of "what if" fantasy. He imagined "if" his father had no skills and only earned enough money for the family's expenses, what kind of life their family would live now.Is it very poor, but the family relationship is very good?

Jiang Yizhong didn't know, he took out another cigarette and wanted to light it, but remembered what he said just now, and put it back again.Stand up and prepare to walk back.

But when he put his hand in his pocket, he found that the wallet that was originally in his pocket was gone!

Jiang Yizhong became nervous, and touched his whole body up and down, and it was indeed gone.

He calmed himself down, and recalled that when he left the company, got off the elevator, went to the convenience store, and went to the small park, the wallet should have been there all the time.He remembered that he used a credit card to buy cigarettes, and he took out his wallet to get the card.

That middle-aged man? !

Jiang Yizhong felt that the middle-aged man who was sitting beside him and smoking just now was the most suspicious.

Although he didn't know if he could still find it, Jiang Yizhong decided to look for it in the direction the person walked just now.After all, the room card, various bank cards and ID cards are all in the wallet.

Jiang Yizhong looked around in the direction the man was walking, and at the same time called to report the loss of the bank card.

Until Jiang Yizhong walked to the public toilet in the small park, and saw a somewhat familiar figure who had just come out of the men's toilet.

He rushed over with a stride and stopped the man.

Sure enough, it was the middle-aged man just now.

"Did you take my wallet?" Jiang Yizhong asked directly.

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly, and asked, "What wallet?"

Jiang Yizhong felt that he was going to play tricks, so he became even more angry, reached out and grabbed the man's arm, and said, "Give me back the wallet!"

The middle-aged man took two steps back, winked at Jiang Yizhong and said, "I can return it to you, but we have to change the place."

Jiang Yizhong was even angrier. He didn't expect this person to be so shameless. Even though this sentence showed that he admitted that he stole the wallet, he still wanted to negotiate terms.

"Don't worry, let's find a place with more people. This is not a place to talk seriously." The middle-aged man winked at the toilet door.

Only then did Jiang Yizhong hear some sounds coming from the toilet—regular vibrations and human voices—it seemed that someone was doing these shady things in the toilet.Although Jiang Yizhong once heard Liu Hao tell him that in some small parks, at night, it becomes the world of "comrades", and the toilets in small parks at night are extremely dirty and filthy places. After eager comrades found cheap "wild ducks" in the small park, they took them directly to the toilet to trade.It is economical and convenient.

Jiang Yizhong understood what the middle-aged man meant, and suddenly felt a little hot on his cheeks and ears.But he didn't let go, pulled the middle-aged man and said, "Just go to the convenience store next door, and you return the wallet to me, and I'll give you the hundreds of dollars in cash."

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

As a result, when the two were about to reach the convenience store, the middle-aged man took advantage of Jiang Yizhong's inattention, broke free from the restraints, and ran away, and he ran quite fast.

Jiang Yi was so angry that he was about to call the police—although he knew that the police could do nothing, but it was still a way to vent his anger.

Just as Jiang Yizhong lowered his head to make a phone call, he found something beside his feet. When he saw it, it was his wallet.

Everything is there except cash.

No, there is one more thing.

a business card.

It read: Tongxinyuan Dating Agency.I didn't leave a phone number, but I left several customer service QQ numbers.

Jiang Yizhong took a closer look. It turned out that the middle-aged man just now was a gay pimp. He probably worked part-time as a pickpocket to earn some extra money.

Jiang Yizhong wanted to throw the business card away, but there were no trash cans around, so he decided to go back to the hotel and throw it away.

When this incident happened, Jiang Yizhong put aside the worrying matter just now, and felt much lighter in his heart.

"Spend money to eliminate disasters." Jiang Yizhong muttered to himself as he walked back.
