Bulwark of Light

Chapter 89 Crow

Song Ci was quite familiar with the map of alleys in the old city of Dadu. After ten minutes, the two came to a humble noodle shop.

Hsu Kee Beef Noodle House.

The Boss is tall and thin, with a white towel hanging around his neck. Seeing that Song Ci is coming, he greets him with a smile, “Come here.”

“Bring a friend here. Yes.”

Song Ci greeted the Boss with a smile, and said, “Two large bowls, with meat, eggs, and brine.”

He lowered his voice and said, “I am here. I have lived here for more than 20 years, and this noodle restaurant has been open for more than 20 years. This shop has a lot of beef and good taste, and it has not gone up in price for 20 years.”

It is very difficult in Dateng City. Find such dilapidated stores, let alone Dadu.

The urban land of extremely expensive land is all brand-new signs, all franchise stores, centrally prepared food, can be heated in one minute, fast food, the rhythm of this era is getting more and more The sooner, no one will sit in the old shop and wait for the master to draw hand-pulled noodles for ten minutes. Everyone is more willing to accept fast food, mechanical preparation, industrial running water, and cleanliness.

“I like this place.”

Gu Shen spoke earnestly.

In this shop, he saw the side of the city that was obscured by the light of the times.

After coming to Dadu, the reason why I am used to running alone in the alley at night is because I like the smell of fireworks that remains in this huge mechanical city.

Talent is a key component of a city.

This staggered alley, as well as alleys, is the only place to slow down in the cold city.

Sitting here, Gu Shen felt his mood calm down…

“Seriously, why are you running?” Song Ci raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: ” The previous reason was too bad, even if you lied to me, you have to make up a decent one.”

“Just made a deal with a guy in the Huazhi Building, I’m afraid he will go back.” Gu Shen Said: “Whether you’re looking for me or not, just run first.”

After hearing this, Song Ci started, and then couldn’t help saying with a smile: “Then you should run, there is no room in that building. There are no good people, they seem to be gentle, but they are actually ruthless characters who eat people and don’t spit out their bones… People who make deals with them often don’t have a good end.”

“Actually, I’m fine, fiercely knocked that guy off.” Gu Shen laughed, “It’s possible that he actually sent a team to find me, but it’s useless to go back now.”

“Yo ho…” After saying this, Song Ci became interested. He asked for two bottles of big green sticks and handed one to Gu Shen, “Let’s talk about it?”

“No story, That’s all.”

Gu Shen shook the head and said: “But the people in that building are all wealthy people with great wealth, and they don’t care about the gains and losses at all… It’s more likely The thing is, he has forgotten about it now.”

He asked again, “What about you? Why did you run?”

“I told the truth before.” Song Ci said solemnly: “If they chase me, I will run away. There is no special reason.”

Gu Shen held out a middle finger contemptuously, “Bah.”

“If must find a reason… it should be that there is a big man who wants to see me, and I don’t want to see her now, so I can only choose to run away,” Song Ci scratched his head, said with a bitter smile: “But you also know, run The road is always a plan to slow down, and most of them are so big, where else can I run? At most, I will run out of the alley next door to eat a bowl of ramen, and whether we should meet in the future or have to meet.”

“Big man, tsk tsk, How old is it?” Gu Shen changed the subject with a smile, and said, “It’s the first time we meet, don’t brag too much.”

Song Ci ran with herself and invited herself to dinner. The guy’s face was full of the stubborn stubborn appearance of Mo Su, Gu Shen planned to part ways after the run, but after a few words, didn’t expect Song Ci to be completely familiar.

I chatted casually on the road, and the two became so familiar with each other.

speaking of which Gu Shen and Song Ci have a similar life experience, they are both orphans, but one is in Qinghe and the other is in Dadu, each working hard on his own.

Perhaps it was this similarity that gave Gu Shen a strange feeling.

Maybe… Song Ci will become his friend?

He didn’t want to spy on Song Ci’s secrets, and he didn’t want to inquire about this person who might be his friend.

“The big man is really big.”

Song Ci narrowed his eyes, stared at Gu Shen with his chin up, and said solemnly, “Would you like to hear it?”

“I’m not interested.”

Gu Shen waved his hand and asked with a smile, “I said I just hit Cui Zhongcheng with a big deal, do you believe it?”

“That’s pure fart.” Song Ci didn’t know whether to cry or laugh looking at Gu Shen, helplessly said: “Blowing up is also decent, and most of the whole film knows that Cui Zhongcheng is a child People who can’t make money-losing business, people who can beat him are still not born in the womb.”

Gu Shen hehe laughed, embarrassedly said: “I’m sorry, I didn’t play it well. Ha. It’s mainly because I just came to Dadu, ignored and inexperienced, a powerful figure in Huazhi, and I knew Cui Zhongcheng.”

Song Ci sighed, said: “Okay, I don’t know what to say to you… Noodles are here, eat noodles first!”

Boss held two bowls of noodles and asked with a smile when he put them down: “Crow, you said last time that you brought Xiao Lu together to eat noodles, she Haven’t come back yet?”

Crow?

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, is this Song Ci’s nickname?

He noticed that when he heard the word “Xiao Lu”, a trace of disappointment flashed across Song Ci’s eyes, but the sense of disappointment dissipated in an instant.

Song Ci took over and said brightly with a smile: “Next time, Xiaolu is too busy, I’ll eat more for her!”

The Boss turned and left, He sighed softly, his voice low, “I haven’t seen Xiao Lu for several years…I don’t know how she’s doing…”

“tsk tsk, there is a situation.”

Gu Shen took a look, leaned closer, and said gossip: “Brother Crow, it’s convenient to ask, who is Xiao Lu?”

“I’m a child of sweetheart, with a beautiful personality. Good.”

Song Ci raised her eyebrows triumphantly, blew the hot air from her face, and deliberately made her voice louder.

Then quietly raised a finger to signal Gu Shen to keep quiet.

Song Cipo lowered her voice a little embarrassedly: “I have secretly had a crush on her since I was a child, but in fact, I haven’t seen her for a long time… I grew up with her in this area when I was a child, and then she was no longer in Dadu. In this noodle restaurant, the boss will always ask me, when will Xiaolu come, when will Xiaolu come, I once drank too much to brag, and said that Xiaolu is my girlfriend, and I will bring it back to Dadu next year.”

Gu Shen looked at each other in blank dismay.

“Next year will be the next year… Next year will be so much…” Song Ci covered her forehead with tears in her eyes, “I regret bragging about it now… What if she does come back? “

“I’m afraid, just say it if you like it!” Gu Shen subconsciously said the first two words aloud, noticing the sudden change in Song Ci’s complexion, he quickly lowered his voice and said, “Since it’s all childhood sweetheart, don’t worry.” Go after it boldly.”

“…”

Song Ci sighed, drank the whole bottle, and wiped the corner of her mouth vigorously.

The bitter wine hurts the throat.

He now feels more and more that Gu Shen, who is strangers coming together by chance, looks more and more closed eyes: “I would rather she don’t go back to Dadu… or I tell Boss that I have broken up. Right?”

“Don’t,” Gu Shen didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, “what’s this? You don’t like her anymore?”

“The situation is complicated , I can’t say a few words.” Song Ci opened his mouth, but stopped talking, said with a bitter smile: “Also… the crow is a nickname, don’t mention it, it’s unlucky.”

“You too You know, I’m an orphan… um, it’s delicious!” He took a big mouthful of noodles and said vaguely, “At that time, I grew up eating Baijiafan, and the kind people in the neighborhood would occasionally take me in and deliver some food every day. , but suddenly one day they stopped sending me anything. It turned out that some people said that I was a disaster star and killed my parents. Now I want to kill my parents and send food. Whoever adopted me would be unlucky… After that, I don’t know who came first. People who call me a crow spread slowly and slowly, and everyone calls me a crow.”

The crow means an ominous person.

“But… the name is just a title. I secretly wiped away my tears for this matter when I was a child, but now it doesn’t matter.” Song Ci finished the whole bowl of noodles in two bites, feeling comfortable He burped and said with a smile: “Children who have been poked in the spine are often stronger and don’t care about gossip, right or wrong. Heaven and Earth is big, and the one who can eat is the biggest.”

paused, Song Ci secretly glanced at the Boss at the door of the shop, and carefully added to Gu Shen: “Actually, Lao Xu is a very good person, but it’s just a terrifying thing, everyone calls me a crow, Just like that crow and crow shouting, Song Ci doesn’t like it…”

He scratched his head again, “If one day I come here to eat noodles, and he doesn’t call me crow, it must be Alzheimer’s disease. I’m done.”

Seeing Song Ciwen with a three-point nostalgic expression, Gu Shen was stunned.

Song Ci said dumbly with a smile: “Why are you looking at me like this? Are you overwhelmed by my generosity?”

Gu Shen was silent for a while, then he turned slightly to him. Back a little distance.

Across the table, from head to toe, he looked at Song Ci again.

The sharply shaved head, the fierce face written all over it, the pompous shirt, and the old pair of flip-flops filled with dirt in the tattered crevices.

If you want to sum up the image of this macho man in two words.

Probably the most apt: sloppy.

“I can’t see it…”

Gu Shen tsk tsk clicked his tongue and said with a complicated expression: “Before I met you, I never imagined that there would be someone who would Under this rough and sturdy exterior, there is such a delicate and delicate heart.”

“overpraised overpraised…”

Song Ci humbly laughed, suddenly face changed, With a frowning face, he said, “Oops… I drank too much alcohol and urinated urgently.”

Gu Shen doubted his gaze.

How could this Brother Song be serious for less than three seconds?

Song Ci was apologetic and pointed to the bottle: “Brother Gu, today you and I hit it off, and I’ll drink another three hundred rounds later… But you have to wait for me first, I’ll go to the bathroom. .”

Gu Shen waved his hand helplessly.

Someone, such as the amnesty, clutching his crotch and running with his legs tucked in with no manners at all.

And then…

never came back.
