"No, brother, I was just joking, why did you take it seriously? I've been out for half a month and I haven't sent a message to my family. I don't know what kind of chaos the family is in now."
Liu Guangqi's guess was correct. There was indeed an explosion at his house. Two days before he left, things were normal at home. After all, with the principal of the school taking care of them, Qin Huairu and the others didn't take it seriously. They were just treating people. What a normal thing, but as time went by, Qin Huairu and the others became more and more unsure about who they were going to treat. It was so grand and they were not allowed to go back home or even send a message. The whole person felt as if he had evaporated.
When Liu Guangqi disappeared for a week, the entire Liu family couldn't sit still. Liu Haizhong, who had always been career-oriented, stopped attending class and took his whole family, old and young, directly to Liu Guangqi's school, blocking the courtyard. The chief's office asked the principal for someone.
People definitely couldn't give it, and Liu Guangqi couldn't even reveal it to Xiao Xi. Liu Haizhong, who was anxious and angry, simply called the police, but it was useless even if the police were dispatched. Even if they found out the truth, Liu Guangqi It was impossible for them to tell Liu Haizhong before they came out.
Seeing that the police could not find out the whereabouts of their son, Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu suddenly felt like the sky was falling. Only Ma Liu is still calm. After all, she knows that Liu Guangqi has space and nothing will happen to him. Even if something happens, he can hide in the space. If nothing else, at least he can save his life. .
But she knew that the rest of the family didn't know that since coming back from school, Liu Haizhong, who regarded Liu Guangqi as his lifeblood, had gone crazy. He stopped going to the steel rolling mill and just sat at home and drank heavily all day long. Qin Huairu didn't fare much better. She stopped working in the neighborhood committee and squatted next to the water pipe to wash clothes. All the extra sheets and quilts in the house were washed, and she shed tears while washing them.
Seeing the chaos at home, Bai Mei, who was worried about Liu Guangqi, ran back home and found her elder brother, preparing to ask Bai Zhanyuan to inquire about Liu Guangqi's whereabouts. Although Bai Zhanyuan agreed readily, there was no result.
Just when Bai Mei was about to be in chaos, Bai Zhanyuan couldn't bear it and gave Bai Mei some subtle hints. After getting the hint, Bai Mei calmed down, as long as everything was fine.
In fact, not only Liu Guangqi's family was in chaos, but the entire courtyard was also in chaos. Rumors about him were flying everywhere. Some said that he treated people to death when he was treating them, and now he ran away. Some said that he hooked up with a young widow and was blocked at home and broke his appearance. Now he is recovering from his injuries outside. Others said that he was caught colluding with foreign forces to commit crimes, and even more exaggeratedly said that he was dead.
As a celebrity in Nanluoguxiang, Liu Guangqi has attracted much attention. These rumors spread as soon as they appeared, and spread further and further. Within a few days, everyone in Nanluoguxiang and Beiluoguxiang knew about Liu Guangqi's disappearance. Everyone looked at the Liu family with strange looks. Some were sympathetic, some were hostile, and of course some were gloating about their misfortune.
"If you want to leave, you just want to leave. You have to put on a show. I hate the way you intellectuals are. It's such a frivolous thing. Sit down quickly. Lao Zheng and I will see you off. We can be considered acquainted. .”
"Stop, stop, Brother Hao, let's not sound so scary, okay? I'm going home, not beheaded at the vegetable market. If you want to see me, just go to my home or school to find me. There's no need to do this. Sad. So close, just a few steps away."
Hearing what Hao Pingchuan said, Liu Guangqi suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense. If you want to drink, sit down quickly. I just sold a roast duck today."
While Liu Guangqi was talking, Zheng Chaoyang on the side had already laid out the drinking supplies.
"Roast duck, when did you sell roast duck? Why didn't I know?"
As soon as Hao Pingchuan heard about the roast duck, he sat down immediately, tore off a duck leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hey, you're the one doing this. This is for drinking. You eat it as soon as it's served. What are you going to drink with it after you finish it? It's like I haven't eaten meat in eight lifetimes."
Zheng Chaoyang was so angry that he was speechless looking at the greedy Hao Pingchuan.
"There are so many things to do, sit down and drink quickly. Come on, Guangqi, one of us brothers will leave first."
With that said, Hao Pingchuan picked up the wine bottle and poured Liu Guangqi a drink.
"Okay, let's go one."
Looking at Hao Pingchuan who was like a living treasure, Liu Guangqi took the wine glass with a smile and drank it down in one gulp.
"Fuck, that's good enough."
The 58-degree Niulan Mountain was so stuffy that even Liu Guangqi, a self-proclaimed alcoholic, couldn't help but smack his mouth.
"You're a good drinker. Come on, let me toast you too. Congratulations, you can go home tomorrow."
As he spoke, Zheng Chaoyang filled another cup for Liu Guangqi.
"Brother, you are so amazing. My eldest sister's illness has been treated by so many doctors and for so long, but none of them could be cured. You have cured it just a few days after you came here. It's really amazing. .”
"you flatter me."
"No prize, I can testify that my sister's waist is really a problem for xxx. It happens several times a year. It hurts just like when you came here and I can't even walk..."
After two glasses of wine, the three of them chatted all over the world. Hao Pingchuan talked about his wars, and Zheng Chaoyang talked about his time as a policeman catching bad guys. As for Liu Guangqi, he talked about the things he encountered when treating patients. Three people with different ages and different experiences can actually talk quite well.
"Guangqi, let me ask you, why were you so flustered when we met? Did you do anything unscrupulous? If you did, tell me as soon as possible. You will be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist, as long as it is not too serious. Brother will settle the matter for you."
After drinking for three rounds, both bottles of Niulanshan had been drained, and the faces of the three of them were as red as a monkey's butt. His eyes became blurred. Seeing Liu Guangqi's drunken appearance, Zheng Chaoyang felt that it was almost done. After looking at each other, he asked Hao Pingchuan in a joking tone.
Liu Guangqi was shocked when he heard this. These two people were really up to no good. He felt that they had ulterior motives after Zheng Chaoyang brought wine to the door. It seemed that the two of them still had doubts about his performance in the dean's office. Fortunately, when he noticed that the two of them were drinking him, he got the wine into the mezzanine space, otherwise he would have really gotten into the trap of the two of them.
"No, what harm can I do, hehe."
Liu Guangqi pretended to be drunk and said with a smile.
"You are dishonest, do you not regard us as brothers?"
"No, no, that's not right. I treat you as brothers. Why don't I treat you as brothers?"
"If you really think of us as brothers, then why are you hiding it from us? Just tell the truth why you were scared when you saw us that day."
Zhang Chaoyang looked at the tough-talking Liu Guangqi and deliberately provoked him. Seeing how dedicated Zheng Chaoyang was, Liu Guangqi knew that it would be impossible if he didn't give him something. So he lay on the table with his eyes closed and babbled.
"I was scared because I picked up a gun two days ago. I thought you were here to arrest me."
"Gun, where's the gun?"
When they heard that Liu Guangqi had a gun in his hand, their eyes widened. The Erguotou they had just drank turned into sweat and flowed from their foreheads. The two looked at each other. Zheng Chaoyang directly grabbed Liu Guangqi's shoulder and asked, but Liu Guangqi did not answer him and turned into a puddle of mud and slipped from Zheng Chaoyang's hand to the ground.
"Wake up. Tell me where you put the gun."
"Wake up, wake up, why did you drink so much? You're fine now, you're asleep."
Seeing Liu Guangqi sleeping like a dead pig, Zheng Chaoyang directly blamed Hao Pingchuan.
"You still have the nerve to accuse me. You drank too little. Those cup after cup you thought were just tea. Who can bear it?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What should we do now? We need to find out the whereabouts of the gun. If something happens, we will be in trouble."
Zheng Chaoyang frowned and said.
"If you have any trouble, just ask him tomorrow morning. You can't just break into his house and search it because of this matter."
Whether the problem with a gun is big or small, it's okay if nothing happens, but it will be troublesome if something happens.
"Okay, then I'll ask him when I send him off tomorrow. I guess he probably hid the gun at home."
…
"Good morning, Aunt Dong."
The night passed in the blink of an eye. After saying goodbye to his eldest sister, Liu Guangqi got on the small jeep and drove towards Nanluogu Lane with a look of Wu Gong. Originally, Liu Guangqi planned to remove the words "Run Gong" in his room, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to be too greedy, so he didn't open his mouth.
】
After leaving the yard, it only took three to five minutes for Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan to take Liu Guangqi back to Nanluogu Alley. As soon as they entered the alley, Liu Guangqi met his neighbor in the courtyard, so he stuck his head out and said hello. .
Who knew that when the other party saw Liu Guangqi, he looked like a ghost, yelled and ran away. Later, Liu Guangqi met several neighbors. Although their reactions were not as strong as those of Aunt Dong, they were all very, very surprised. Seeing the reactions of these people, Liu Guangqi knew that since he had not been here for half a month, there must have been many bad rumors about him in the alley.
Thinking of this, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but urge Zheng Chaoyang to drive faster. He couldn't wait to go home and see if anything happened to his house.
Just when Liu Guangqi quickly approached his home, Liu Haizhong started another hazy day. He just had breakfast and picked up a bottle of wine and started drinking. The man weighing more than 200 pounds collapsed on the bed like a big bear. Not only did he have a beard, Sloppy and his eyes were bloodshot.
"I just finished eating. Why did you drink again?"
Seeing Liu Haizhong's appearance, Liu's mother, who was coaxing her child, couldn't help but say something.
"What's wrong with me drinking some wine? You think I'm a cold-blooded animal like you. You lost your own son and are still in the mood to help others take care of their children. Are you still a human being? That's our son."
As Liu Haizhong spoke, he threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground. The loud noise suddenly startled Chen Jiahe, and he quickly hid behind Liu's mother and looked at Lao Liu timidly.
"What are you doing? Why are you so crazy? You're scaring the child. Look at how you look now. Do you still look like a man?"
Seeing Liu Haizhong frightened her grandson, Liu's mother, who valued her grandson as her life, also got mad and pointed at Lao Liu, glaring at her nose and scolding angrily.
"Who are you saying is not a man? I see you, an old woman, haven't had your bed tiled for three days. I must beat you to death today."
When he heard his wife say that he was not a man, he pulled out the belt from his bangs, which was already in a depressed mood, and swung it towards Liu's mother. The belt was about to fall on Liu's mother from the bangs. There was a sudden noise outside. Then the two heard He Yuyu call Liu Guangqi's name in surprise.
"Brother Guangqi, you are back"
"Well, I'm back. I didn't go to school today. I'll go to my brother's house later and I'll give you some delicious food. Hello, Mom."
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Because he was worried about Lao Liu and Liu's mother, Liu Guangqi went straight to the backyard of the courtyard as soon as he got off the car. He simply said hello to the neighbors he met along the way. Everyone originally wanted to ask Liu Guangqi where he had been for the past two months, but after seeing the clothes Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan were wearing, they all shut their mouths in awe.
"Dad, what are you doing? Why did my mother provoke you?"
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Guangqi saw the scene before. Old Liu was holding a belt high in his hand and was about to drop it, while Mother Liu lowered her head and protected Chen Jiahe in her arms.
"Boss, you are finally back."
Seeing the sudden appearance of Liu Guangqi, the old couple were stunned for a moment, then they all put down their things and rushed towards Liu Guangqi. They hugged Liu Guangqi tightly and refused to let go. After a lot of comfort, Liu Guangqi finally calmed down. An old couple.
As a result, as soon as the two people here were comforted, Qin Huairu, who had received Xin'er over there, ran over with Liu Qiufang, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu. In desperation, Liu Guangqi could only waste a lot of time.
"Son, where have you been these past two months? Your dad, me, and Huai Ru are all worried to death."
After comforting the whole family, Liu's mother couldn't help but ask about Liu Guangqi's experience in the past few days.
"Nothing, I just followed these two comrades to see a leader for medical treatment."
Liu Guangqi looked at Zhang Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan and said. If Liu Guangqi said this alone, the people in the courtyard would definitely not believe it, and 80% of them would think that Liu Guangqi was covering up for him. But with these two people and the jeep parked at the door, they had to believe it even if they didn't believe it, because the clothes Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan wore today were too credible.
"What kind of leader can't even let a message be passed on in such a grand ceremony?"
Qin Huairu grabbed Liu Guangqi's arm and said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's an honor for me to treat the leader. Come on, now that you're here, you have to go and sit with me no matter what. Thank you very much these days."
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of leaving, Liu Guangqi knew that the other party was waiting for an opportunity to ask about the gun, so he took the initiative to lead the two of them towards the rear hood room on the east side.
After Liu Guangqi took the people away, the neighbors in the courtyard also dispersed, and the news of Liu Guangqi's return spread.
"You two did it on purpose, you dressed formally."
Liu Guangqi looked at Zheng Chaoyang and smiled as he straightened up to his uniform.
"Since I have brought you so much trouble, I have to deal with the rumors outside for you. I can't just throw you out and ignore it."
Zheng Chaoyang chuckled.
"I'm just saying, it's such a short distance, so there's no need to get in the car and pick me up. Thank you."
Seeing that the two of them were thinking about him so much, Liu Guangqi smiled and expressed his gratitude to the two of them.
"Okay, your place is not big, but it is quite unique."
After entering Liu Guangqi's back room, Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan were both surprised by the layout and furnishings in the room.
"Thank you, Huai Ru. You go and boil a kettle of hot water, and I'll make some hot tea for the two comrades."
After chatting for a while, Liu Guangqi sent Qin Huairu and Liu Qiufang out, and then led them to the study room in the attic.
"You two have been hanging around my place for a long time just because of it."
After arriving at the study, Liu Guangqi walked straight to the bookshelf, and Cong Shujia took out a small pistol from behind. Seeing Liu Guangqi take out the gun, the two reacted instinctively and put their hands on their waists. Seeing their actions, Liu Guangqi chuckled and put the gun on the table.
"Ever since I picked up this gun, I wanted to hand it in, but I didn't play with it out of curiosity, so I kept it. I didn't expect to meet you all within a few days."
"Where did you pick it up?"
"Caught by fishing in the river."
"When I caught it, was there anything else?"
"There was nothing but a rag tape and more than twenty rounds of ammunition."
After taking Liu Guangqi's small pistol, Hao Pingchuan inspected the firearm, and Zheng Chaoyang asked Liu Guangqi in detail. Liu Guangqi had already thought up the answers to these questions in the space last night and simulated them several times. He answered them fluently. After confirming that there were no problems with Liu Guangqi's answers, the two of them put away their guns and saluted Liu Guangqi with tea. He left without drinking.
"Why did they leave?"
As soon as the two left, Qin Huairu walked in with brewed tea. Looking at the empty main room, she couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I completed my mission and left. I don't think I did."
Liu Guangqi, who had not touched a woman for a long time, couldn't help but walk behind Qin Huairu when he saw Qin Huairu's pretty face, hugged her into his arms, and then took a deep breath of the familiar body fragrance.
"Thinking about it, I almost went crazy thinking about it, I thought you were"
Qin Huairu turned around and looked at Liu Guangqi affectionately. Tears filled his eyes involuntarily.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me, and nothing will happen to anyone in this world."
Seeing Qin Huairu crying, Liu Guangqi kissed her gently on the forehead, but Qin Huairu was not satisfied. He stood on tiptoes, hugged Liu Guangqi's head and started to chew.
The attack was so fierce and sudden that after Liu Guangqi came to his senses, he immediately locked the door and carried Qin Huairu back to their bedroom. Then a squeaking sound like a Peking opera came from the small bedroom, sometimes high-pitched and sharp, sometimes mellow and charming. The sound was repeated thousands of times, making people never tire of hearing it.
