"Don't worry, I'm Chen Xiaodong's fellow villager, come here to play with him."
Lin Xiao saw that the old man was a little suspicious of him, maybe because he saw the gauze wrapped around his left arm, so he quickly explained.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "He works in a bar on the street in front. It's easy to find. You can just walk across the street."
"Thanks!"
Lin Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurried forward.
At this time, the street lights on the street were all on, and all kinds of snacks were placed on the street, making it very lively.
According to what the old man said, Lin Xiao walked straight across the road and saw a bar with neon lights not far away.
Lin Xiao walked in quickly and his eyes lit up.
I saw several accompanists sitting on a small stage directly opposite, and an extremely coquettishly dressed woman was singing with a microphone in her hand.
There were many round tables under the stage, and there were many men and women sitting in twos and threes next to them. They were drinking and listening to the songs.
The indoor lights are swaying and the heads are shaking. The atmosphere feels very good.
Lin Xiao did not sit down at the table. He started from here and searched all the way.
I met several waiters, but I didn't see Chen Xiaodong.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the innermost corner.
"Are you blind? These clothes I have are worth a lot of money. Can you afford to pay for them?"
"No, I put the wine in front of you, but you spilled it yourself. How can you blame me!"
The sound of two men arguing could be heard vaguely.
Looking from the back, the person standing is Chen Xiaodong.
"Are you stubborn? I'm going to find your boss right now and fire you immediately.
Apologize to me and call me grandpa again and I will spare you. "
The sitting man pointed at the nose of Chen Xiaodong standing next to him, looking like a bully.
Lin Xiao stepped forward, grabbed the man's finger, and then pressed it down hard.
"Ouch! It hurts me to death.
You are in this together! I'll tell your boss to fire you all. "
The man shouted loudly in pain, and everyone around him looked over.
Lin Xiao conveniently picked up the wine bottle on the table and slapped the man on the head.
"Grandson! This is what happens when you bully someone."
Lin Xiao made these movements in one go. Before Chen Xiaodong next to him could react, he pulled Chen Xiaodong and ran away.
Lin Xiao ran out of the bar, crossed the road, and turned behind a building. Lin Xiao stopped when he was sure that no one was chasing him.
"Brother Xiao! How did you find this place? You are really capable.
I always say that I am impulsive. Are you a little too impulsive just now? "
Chen Xiaodong gasped and said with a sneer.
Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "If I don't hit this guy with a bottle of wine, how can you leave here so decisively?"
"Brother Xiao! They say Jiang is hot when he is old, but why do I feel that you are already very hot even before you are old?"
Chen Xiaodong said with a smile on his face.
Lin Xiao pulled him and said, "Let's go! Find a place to have a drink. I haven't eaten yet!"
"Let's go here! Let's make some side dishes and drink beer."
Chen Xiaodong pointed to the roadside, and he pulled Lin Xiao over.
A plate of salted peanuts, a plate of edamame, then fried snails, twice-cooked pork, and a plate of fried vegetables.
Lin Xiao also ordered a small bowl of rice, but Chen Xiaodong didn't eat the rice. He said he had just eaten it in the evening.
"Brother Xiao! You are also a big boss now. You should take it easy when you are out. Did your arm get injured in a fight?"
Chen Xiaodong raised his wine glass and asked with some concern.
Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "There are some things that you can't avoid even if you want to, so you can only do it forcefully."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he told Chen Xiaodong everything about the robbery he encountered this afternoon. He originally thought that Chen Xiaodong would say that he fought well, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiaodong would say so.
"Brother Xiao! Money is an external possession. Since you are unlucky, give it to them. What if you are seriously injured?
You have to know, how much money are you going to make in this life? If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don't take action. If someone asks for money, just give it to them. "
Lin Xiao never expected that Chen Xiaodong would say this. He drank a beer and took a deep breath and said, "Xiaodong, you have changed."
"Is it okay to not change? The result of these years of fighting and killing is to go in. The life inside is really difficult. I also want to understand. I don't want to be rich and powerful in this life. As long as I don't go in, I can do anything. "
Chen Xiaodong raised his wine glass and said seriously.
Lin Xiao nodded and whispered, "Come back with me! I really need you."
Chen Xiaodong shook his head and said: "I left Tianbei City just to say goodbye to the past. Besides, Tianbei City is so big and everyone knows everyone when I go out. How can I hang out? The label has been printed on my forehead and cannot be erased at all."
"Okay! Since you said that, I respect you, then you can run the clothing store in Southeast Town."
Lin Xiao said loudly.
Chen Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao! I said I don't want it. When Gangzi comes out in the future, it's his business whether he wants it or not. I absolutely don't want it."
"What do you mean? I don't want anything for you, but you have shares in this clothing store, and you are the largest shareholder.
It's natural for you to run the business. This is not a gift, it is your own. "
Lin Xiao became angry as he said this, and he slapped the table in anger.
Chen Xiaodong smiled lightly, he was not angry, he then filled Lin Xiao's wine, then smiled and said: "Brother Xiao! You still don't understand what I mean.
I am the only son of my parents. They have saved a little money for me over the years, but I didn’t ask for any money when I came out this time, so I can’t ask for anything you gave me.
The previous one has nothing to do with me. I want to cultivate myself in life like an ascetic.
In the past few years, all I have to do is keep myself from going hungry. When I have perfected my character, I will talk about what I will do in the future.
Otherwise, everything is in vain. Even if you give me a bar or a clothing store, I won't be done harming you for three or two days. "
Seeing Chen Xiaodong's serious look, Lin Xiao said nothing. It seemed that he had really changed.
The two of them talked and drank beer slowly. They didn't stand up until the boss was about to close the stall.
At this time, their feet were piled with beer bottles.
"Brother! I ruined your job by not knowing the truth. You have to keep this money, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Lin Xiao took out a wad of banknotes and forced them into Chen Xiaodong's hands.
Chen Xiaodong did not refuse anymore. He waved towards Lin Xiao and said, "See you soon, Brother Xiao!"
In the night, watching Chen Xiaodong's retreating back, Lin Xiao's eyes were a little moist.
"I kept asking, when will you come with me?
…
Suddenly, a song that made people cry came from a distance.
