Under the kiln slab is the dusty basement.
Lu Mingfei knocked on the rusty lock and opened the basement, and was greeted by a sour, musty smell.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing masks, which could filter out a lot of odor.
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang walked into the basement.
The basement was a bit messy, with newspapers plastered on the walls.
This was a messy small room. Lu Mingfei could even imagine Chu Tianjiao staying alone in this small room.
In this small room that belonged to him alone, he lay casually on the bed or sat on the edge of the bed, drinking wine and listening to popular songs of that era. He also doubted himself and whether he thought about giving up, but in the end he still Silently holding on and guarding this city.
Because this city has people he loves.
Lu Mingfei's eyes fell on the bedside table, which was filled with magazines from that era, and the magazines were thickly dusted.
And the cork board used to hold the photo album was in the magazine, with a photo inside.
Lu Mingfei still remembered that in that photo, there was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy and a beautiful woman with short hair.
Those were Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoyan.
They looked at the lake in the distance, and Chu Tianjiao looked at them outside the photo.
After entering the basement, Chu Zihang seemed even more silent.
He looked at this messy room, thinking about the scene of that man living here.
In front of the bedside table, Chu Zihang picked up the cork board containing the photo album and looked at the remaining photos quietly for a long time.
In the darkness, Lu Mingfei could not see Zihang's expression clearly, but Lu Mingfei knew that at this time, Chu Zihang should be given time to be alone, and time to be alone with Chu Zihang and that man.
Lu Mingfei found an aluminum alloy box engraved with the half-decayed World Tree in the corner. The box contained weapons provided by Kassel Academy. This was a small weapons arsenal.
Lu Mingfei carried the box and went out.
As Lu Mingfei left, in the darkness, Chu Zihang slowly squatted down holding the cork frame, his vision was blurred, and tears fell uncontrollably on the photo album.
There was a time when he was frantically searching for traces of that man.
But the man named Chu Tianjiao disappeared completely as if he had never been in the world.
Chu Zihang clutched the only photo tightly, it was the only thing left by that man.
...
...
Outside the old factory, Lu Mingfei sat on the side of the road, leaning against Maserati, opened a can of beer and drank.
Lu Mingfei wouldn't mind buying vodka if there was one nearby.
Unfortunately, all he could find was beer.
Su Xiaoqiang also woke up, sat down next to Lu Mingfei, took a can of beer, opened it, and asked, "Where's senior brother, why haven't you come out yet?"
As soon as Su Xiaoqiang finished speaking, Chu Zihang came out of the old factory and walked towards this side.
Chu Zihang lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Senior brother, why are you so slow? Have you found any ghosts?" Su Xiaoqiang asked enthusiastically.
Chu Zihang shook his head.
Lu Mingfei grabbed a can of beer and threw it over, and just said, "Here, drink!"
Chu Zihang caught the beer, opened it, then sat next to Lu Mingfei, raised his head and drank the beer in one breath.
It seemed that one can was not enough. After drinking one can, Chu Zihang picked up another one and drank it.
Although Su Xiaoqiang didn't know what happened while she was sleeping, something was obviously wrong with the current atmosphere, so she didn't speak.
The three of them drank in silence, and no one wanted to break the silence.
It wasn't until Chu Zihang finished the third can that his cold and slightly hoarse voice spoke up, breaking the silence first, "I want to go to Kassel College."
This was the only chance to pursue his father, and he didn't want to let it go. He wanted to know the truth.
Lu Mingfei raised his beer, "A man always needs to know what he is going to do, right?"
"Ahead is the target!"
"Let us pay tribute to the past, look forward to the future, and make the best of the present!"
"Brother, just do what you think in your heart!"
Chu Zihang picked up his beer and touched it with Lu Mingfei's, "Mingfei, thank you!"
Only Lu Mingfei knew why Chu Zihang said thank you, but he just smiled.
There are many things that can be done in time.
"Wow, that's so good. Why do I feel that you are different?" Su Xiaoqiang also raised a beer to touch the two of them.
Su Xiaoqiang really couldn't imagine that Lu Mingfei could say such reasonable words.
After drinking two dozen beers, Su Xiaoqiang was the first to be unable to hold on. His face was as red as a peach. He leaned against Lu Mingfei and closed his eyes, wanting to sleep.
Lu Mingfei pushed her shoulder, rushed her to the car, and said disgustedly, "Go to the car and sleep."
Chu Zihang, who had not been baptized by Kassel College, had obviously drunk too much. The paralyzed senior brother's face was also stained red by alcohol at this moment. He put his arm around Lu Mingfei's shoulders and said, "What if you were in the same class as me?" That would be nice, so we can go to Kassel Academy together.”
When Lu Mingfei heard this, he smiled and thought to himself, senior brother, do you think anyone can go to Kassel Academy?
Only madmen can go to that place.
"Senior brother, don't worry. I will go next year. This year, you go and conquer Nuo Da's empire first. When I arrive next year, I will rely on your care, senior brother." Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Senior brother, you have to protect me then."
"Whoever bullies you, I will definitely help you fight back." Chu Zihang said vaguely, "When I was a child, there was a guy who practiced martial arts. He beat me up and scolded my mother for clinging to rich people. , do you know what I did?"
While waiting for Lu Mingfei to answer, Chu Zihang said to himself, "I couldn't beat him at that time, so I signed up for the Children's Palace and studied with many teachers. Finally, I found that guy before graduating from elementary school. He fixed it hard.”
"Because if I don't fix it, I won't be able to find him."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "His family didn't give you any trouble?"
Chu Zihang sneered, "His family is not as rich as mine. My mother married a rich man."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
After Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei drank the remaining beer, Chu Zihang threw the Maserati key to Lu Mingfei, "It's very late, you should go back."
"What about you?" Lu Mingfei asked.
Chu Zihang stood up, collected all the cans scattered on the roadside and threw them into the trash cans nearby. Then he looked at the old factory building and said, "I'll talk to that person."
"Is this dangerous?" Lu Mingfei hesitated. After all, the opponent was a mixed race, even if it was only D level.
Chu Zihang shook his head, "It's okay, I tied up his hands and feet."
Lu Mingfei: "..."
Sure enough, even if he hasn't entered Kassel College yet, his senior brother is still the same senior brother.
Lu Mingfei also knew that Chu Zihang would definitely do it if he made up his mind.
"Then I'll take Su Xiaoqiang back first, and the car will drive to school to return it to you." Lu Mingfei patted his butt and didn't linger.
Seeing Lu Mingfei get into the car, Chu Zihang said seriously to Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, really, thank you."
"Thank you very much. Just treat me to a nice meal sometime." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, raised the window, started the powerful engine, and the Maserati drove away.
Looking at the Maserati leaving, Chu Zihang touched his chest pocket. In the pocket was a photo left for him by Chu Tianjiao.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Zihang walked into the old house area.
