    Chapter 74 The Pen of Merit...

    After the ghost face left, Shen Wei cleaned up the secluded animals on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and in a blink of an eye, the other ones, all those who knew interest, were basically gone. Only Niu Tau Ma Mian supported the judge and looked at him from a distance, as if he had something to say, but also as if he didn't dare to come over. Shen Wei stretched out his hand to Da Qing and said briefly, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

    Daqing jumped on his shoulders. In fact, Shen Wei was about the same size as Zhao Yunlan, his shoulders were neither wider nor narrower than him, but standing on the shoulders of the Soul Cutter always felt awkward, so he had to shrink himself into a black cat group. Desperately grabbing at his clothes with his claws.

    The judge seemed to have gathered up his courage and stopped them: "Sir..."

    Shen Wei put away the Soul Chopping Saber, without pausing in his footsteps, and said with a light expression: "Go away, don't speak ill of me."

    It was finally dawn, and the late light was lost.

    When Shen Wei returned to Zhao Yunlan's small apartment, it was past noon. All the TV stations were rolling out the morning vision. The major media basically had nothing else to do. G.

    Shen Wei only did one thing - wait for the door.

    He was really waiting for the door, moved the small sofa to the position facing the door, and sat there motionless.

    Daqing squatted on the window silently, treating himself as a cat ornament, pretending not to exist.

    This sitting lasted for three or four hours. In the afternoon, when the sun was almost westward, Shen Wei's mobile phone on the table vibrated a few times.

    Shen Wei didn't react at first, and it took a while to remember to pick it up and look at it. With this movement, the whole talent seemed to suddenly "come alive".

    After opening it, there are three text messages in a row.

    Rule 1: "Finally there is a signal, nothing to do, I'll go home in a bit."

    A minute later, the second one: "Wait, the leader is calling. There is a dinner party in the evening. I have to go to the table. I just saw it, don't wait for me."

    A minute later came the third item: "Rest early, darling."

    Daqing jumped off the window sill, landed on the ground, and circled around the sofa for half a circle. In the end, as if he mustered up his courage, he cleared his throat and asked respectfully, "Sir, is it our commander?"

    "Well," Shen Wei nodded, "he said something, he'll be back later."

    Daqing breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then...then I will leave first and go back to No. 4 Guangming Road."

    Shen Wei lowered his eyes and glanced at it, and Daqing instinctively lowered his head under his gaze - as if he couldn't remember the appearance of "Mr. Shen", saying everything he said.

    Shen Wei nodded slightly: "Walk slowly."

    Daqing, as if receiving an amnesty, quickly jumped up and opened the latch, and trotted out. It's terrible to be in the same room with the Soul Killer or something. If it wasn't for worrying about Zhao Yunlan's cowardice, he wouldn't have left a small fish in his refrigerator and refused to eat it, and came here to suffer this kind of fearful foreign crime.

    Zhao Yunlan didn't go to any entertainment. He actually didn't go anywhere. After sending the text message, he walked aimlessly on the streets of Longcheng.

    The winter here is mostly dry, and don’t know why this winter. It’s snowy and foggy, and there is a layer of tiny ice slag on the ground. Occasionally, a car drives by, but they are cautiously afraid to speed up. Some small shops on the street have closed. Now, there are even fewer pedestrians, and it looks a bit depressed.

    His eyes were confused, and he didn't seem to know where to go. There were bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and he looked haggard.

    I don't know how long it took before his phone rang, and Zhao Yunlan answered in a hoarse voice: "Hello, Dad."

    "Well." The other end of the phone answered, "Why have you been out of the service area?"

    "..." Zhao Yunlan stood on the side of the street, just right on the tuyere, the cold wind blew his eyes a little red, and after two seconds, he responded slowly and said, "The signal is not good. "

    Father Zhao asked, "Then where are you now?"

    Zhao Yunlan couldn't say it well. He raised his head and carefully identified the name of the street before roughly stating his location.

    Father Zhao: "Wait, I'll find you."

    Zhao Yunlan squatted on the side of the road and waited for a while. About 20 minutes later, a car stopped beside him, the driver stuck his head out of it, and gave him a disgusting look: "Why do you look like a beggar? boarding."

    Zhao Yunlan rolled his eyes at him feebly, stomped his numb feet, climbed onto the co-pilot, sat on his butt like a dead dog, clasped his hands on his chest, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I don't want to talk to him. You don't want to speak for the problem" aura.

    His dad stepped on the accelerator and glanced at him: "Where are you going, dressed like this."

    "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau." Zhao Yunlan said blankly.

    "Gān what's going on?"

    "Cooperation to arrest some heinous Hoh Xil poachers."

    Father Zhao said, "Fart."

    Zhao Yunlan was silent.

    Father Zhao was silent for a while: "Your mother told me two days ago, I have never figured out how to talk to you about this, so I didn't find you."

    Zhao Yunlan gave him a tired look.

    "The years when you were a child were when my career was on the rise. When I was the busiest, it was your mother who took care of you. I didn't do my job very well, and I didn't feel anything until later when you went to school. Mom took me to join the parent club organized by the school, and when I had nothing to do on weekends, I sat down with other parents and teachers to chat with their children, and I found out that you are different from other children."

    Zhao Yunlan smiled bitterly: "What's different, it's clear that you gave birth to a freak... Okay, Dad, let's communicate at another time, I really don't want to talk today."

    Father Zhao glanced at him silently: "I'm used to you enough - back then, it was up to you to apply for a special investigation department in a whimsical way, and you also helped you with some activities. Have I asked you about your unnecessary nonsense? Don't push me too far."

    "..." Zhao Yunlan was silent for a while, "Okay, what do you want to ask?"

    "I have to ask first, can you and that teacher be separated?"

    "No." Zhao Yunlan said firmly.

    "I'm not in a hurry with you, let's discuss this matter calmly," Father Zhao frowned, "Tell me, what do you like about him? What do you think he can't be replaced by others? The pressure of public opinion, and the fact that it is impossible for you to be together legally at this stage, is also necessary for him?"

    "My mother is not as beautiful as Sister Zhiling, why did you give up the whole forest by guarding her tree?" Zhao Yunlan said impatiently, and then he snorted lowly in a bad mood, "Public opinion is bullshit. , and what is legal? If I want, I can draw a marriage certificate, and various official seals carved by carrots at the entrance of Daxue Road, five dollars a piece, what's so great?"

    Father Zhao: "This is a good talk with you, what's your attitude?"

    "...I'm sorry." Zhao Yunlan was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and pinched his eyebrows.

    "Maybe one day, when your hormone levels return to normal, you will regret your current choice," Zhao's father's tone has been very calm, not slow and slow, people can't help but relax with him, and they don't think at all He is aggressive, and such an attitude makes it easier for people to listen to him. He said, "Passion is a very beautiful thing. I was young and understand that feeling, but I don't agree with too difficult. Love, do you know why?"

    Zhao Yunlan didn't answer.

    "Have you seen "Anna Karenina"?" Father Zhao slowly drove the car down the empty street at a speed of twenty miles, "Why did Anna die in the end? Of course, you can argue. Saying that her cheating love is immoral and you are justified, I agree with that, but there is one thing in common - love, is a very tough and very fragile thing, which may be blocked and oppressed When the time comes, it will generate great power and become some kind of almost great feeling, which is why it has been praised since ancient times, but you have to remember one sentence: 'It will never be the mountain that defeats you, but the That sand in your shoe'."

    Zhao Yunlan didn't say a word.

    Father Zhao sighed: "Difficult love can be overcome with perseverance and desperate efforts, but love always ends in plain, have you ever thought about it? At that time, when you see each other, the effect of hormones will fade. , What I think of will not be the beautiful heartbeat, but the censure and pain I have suffered when I was with him. How will you face him and how will he face you? Have you ever thought about it? People are like this, don't Feel like an exception, do you remember the ice cream you loved to eat when you were a kid?"

    Zhao Yunlan slowly shook his head.

    "Your mother was afraid that you wouldn't grow tall enough to give you snacks, so you thought about it day and night, and even went on a hunger strike to protest. Later, when I came back from a business trip, I came up with a solution - I'll take you there three times a day, every day. Every time I let you choose at will, at least two boxes each time, I don’t care if you eat a bad stomach, I will take you to eat for a month, and then you will cry when you mention that ice cream shop, and don’t want to go holding the door frame. "

    Zhao Yunlan tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled, and Father Zhao said calmly, "Now think about it, and then tell me, do you think it's okay for you and that teacher to go on like this?"

    No one would listen to him talking like this. Zhao Yunlan paused for a while before answering. His voice was still hoarse. Said: "Shen Wei and I have actually known each other for a long time. In fact, I have known him since I first started working, and it has been many years now. Dad, I know what you mean, but in the world There is a kind of person who is not the kind of person who thinks how good you are, how you shut up the moon and shame the flowers, why you must be a prince, and think that the king will not go to court sooner from now on, but you think that if you are sorry for him, you are nothing."

    Father Zhao turned his head and glanced at him. Zhao Yunlan was leaning on the back of the car seat, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, probably due to lack of sleep. His double eyelids, which were already wider than others, were almost folded into three layers, which looked like extremely tired.

    Father Zhao listened, and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he said with some difficulty: "Well, you are an adult, and I don't have the right to involve you too much in some things. If you think so, then I will also There's really nothing to say - another day, when I'm at home, you can bring him back home for a meal."

    "Thank you." When Zhao Yunlan said this, he didn't look very happy. His brows were frowning gently. After a while, he said with some difficulty, "Dad, can you accompany me for a few drinks? ?"

    Father Zhao glanced at him, turned the car around, and took him to a relatively secluded small restaurant run by a local. He opened the drink list and pushed it in front of Zhao Yunlan: "Order, I'll pay for it."

    Then he nodded to the waiter: "Give me a pot of Tieguanyin."

    The father and son sat opposite each other, and there were some subtle similarities in temperament. The tea-drinking tea, the drinking-drinking drinking, no one said a word, and no one disturbed the other.

    Zhao Yunlan lost his face when he drank, and the more he drank, the paler his face became. When two empty bottles had passed in front of him, Zhao's father held the hand he called the waiter and turned around and said, "Bring him a glass of honey water. ——Although you can drink a little if you feel uncomfortable sometimes, I am your father, I have to watch you, and don’t let you get poisoned by alcohol or have a perforated stomach.”

    Zhao Yunlan paused: "I haven't eaten yet, give me another plate of fried rice."

    "Can you tell me what's going on now? You quarreled with the teacher?" Father Zhao asked.

    "How is that possible." Zhao Yunlan smiled hard, "I'm too old to quarrel with people because of a little shit."

    Father Zhao: "What's the matter?"

    Zhao Yunlan was silent for a while, staring at the marble table top, as if he could see the irregular patterns, until the water and rice he ordered came up, his eyes moved slightly After a moment, he said in a low voice, "A lot of things... I don't know if I'm right or wrong, what should I do?"

    Father Zhao lit a cigarette and was silent for a while: "I can tell you how I feel, I have lived to this age, and I feel that there are four things that people should not be too attached to in one's life, one is long-term, and the other is right and wrong, The third is good and evil, and the fourth is life and death.”

    Zhao Yunlan raised his eyes and looked at him.

    "Attitude is sometimes a virtue, but if you are too entangled in 'for a long time', you will easily worry about gains and losses, and you will not be able to see the path under your feet; Absolutely wrong things; too entangled in 'good and evil', you can't allow sand in your eyes, sometimes you will be self-righteous, and hope that the rules will change according to your edges and corners, you will always be disappointed; too entangled in 'life and death', your vision will be small, this You can only become a second-class person at the highest level in your life.”

    Zhao Yunlan listened silently.

    "Some things can't stand torture, they can't stand pondering, and they're not worth getting into. I think since you've done it, you don't need to think about right or wrong. Instead of torturing yourself with these things, think about what to do in the future. , what do you say?"

    After listening, Zhao Yunlan drank a whole glass of honey water without saying a word, and then said calmly, "I can't eat anymore. I'm going to vomit. After vomiting, drive me back."

    Father Zhao sent him downstairs all the way, but didn't go up: "Is that teacher at your house? If they are not ready, I will suddenly come to the door. You can go up by yourself and make an appointment later."

    Zhao Yunlan turned his back to him, waved at him, and walked up to him.

    Shen Wei had been waiting for the door, and when he heard the key ring, he immediately walked over and opened the door before he twisted the lock. Zhao Yunlan looked sober, but he smelled of alcohol, and he tripped over the threshold when he lifted his foot. He quickly supported him: "How much did you drink?"

    "It's okay." Zhao Yunlan put his forehead on his shoulder, leaned for a while, and then smiled at him, "I'll take a shower first... Do you have anything to eat?"

    "..." Regarding Zhao Yunlan's self-assertion in Kunlun, Shen Wei actually had a lot of accounts he wanted to settle with him, but looking at him pitifully pressing his stomach, he couldn't say anything. In the end, Shen Wei Wei just sighed, "Then I'll serve you some hot snacks."

    Zhao Yunlan gave him a quick kiss on the neck, reached into his arms, took out a slender wooden box, stuffed it into Shen Wei's hand, said "gift", and turned around and went to the bathroom.

    Shen Wei lowered his head and opened the wooden box, only to see a very thin pen inside, with a wooden pen holder, and some hair underneath. At first glance, it turned out to be golden, and it was surprisingly heavy in his hand. , China Resources is introverted, and suddenly it is the merit pen made by the legendary merit ancient wood.

    Shen Wei was stunned for a moment. At this moment, besides the sound of water in the bathroom, there was a sudden loud noise.

    Shen Wei was startled, and quickly put away the holy artifact, walked over and knocked on the door: "Yunlan, are you alright?"

    Zhao Yunlan's bathroom has a bathtub with a shower above it. You can take a bath when you have time, but you can take a shower when you don't have time. Zhao Yunlan accidentally turned the water temperature too high. Originally, he had a taste for alcohol, but he was barely awake. He was steamed by the heat, and he immediately started to go up. It was too slippery to step on the bathtub with his bare feet. In the bathtub, I almost fell into a concussion.

    His eyes were full of shaking Venus, and he didn't even hear what Shen Wei said.

    Without getting a response from him, Shen Wei finally couldn't help pushing open the bathroom door.
