Chapter 62

When the store was just opened, Jiang Yilong was always worried about choosing the wrong business. He didn't dare to think about the future of this way of life. But it was only ten days. Although the store often didn't see panting faces except the three of us. But first, the matter of Mr. Hu was handled well, and now the matter of Zhao Lin's construction site was handled and improved.

We don't know exactly what Zhao Lin's background is, but we absolutely have reason to believe that he is not a stingy person. There is a saying that three years of inaction and three years of work may be very close to our current situation.

Jiang Yilong and I are not very good at drinking, but first, we are happy to think of these things. Second, the taste of this new Dongzi hot pot is called Bashi in the authentic Chongqing dialect. Hu ate and drank in the sea. It was not until half past ten in the evening that the two of us tottered home with our packed lunch boxes.

Back to the community, the time has passed 12 p.m. according to the normal time, the concierge Uncle Zhang has already closed the door, and today is no exception. The two of us squatted outside the door and talked. After knocking for a long time, we quarreled with Uncle Zhang from the guard room.

Uncle Zhang said, "eh, it's you two. What happened today? I'm so happy to drink like this."

"Nothing, nothing."

"Young people should drink less wine. Drinking less wine is a tonic, and drinking more is a poison."

"Why do you talk so much? We drink so much. How much we drink is different from what you have." Jiang Yilong may really drink too much. He can't tell the southeast from the northwest. He feels annoyed after listening to Uncle Zhang's nagging. "Say me, say us... Well, I forgot to tell you, last time you didn't let us show you. There's a word we didn't tell you, do you know?"

Uncle Zhang has lived all his life and seen many people. Although he hasn't been in touch for a long time, he also knows what kind of people we are. Therefore, Jiang Yilong just drank wine and showed his boredom. He didn't take it to heart. But just about to let us go home to have a rest, we suddenly heard Jiang Yilong say such a sentence. His expression changed slightly. He asked curiously, "what do you say, Xiaojiang, tell me what you have."

In fact, I'm confused now. I just yell to go home quickly. Bai Ling is still waiting for us to bring back delicious food. But when I pushed Jiang Yilong hard, he said to Uncle Zhang who followed him, "misfortune comes from the mouth. This is my advice to you. Otherwise, your old life may have to go back to the West within three months or six months at most."

Uncle Zhang was stunned. On the surface, it sounded like Jiang Yilong's threat, but there was no way to talk about it. Just after we swayed to the stairs, Uncle Zhang caught up again. "Xiaojiang, you honestly tell me what you saw last time you showed me?"

"Oh, why don't you understand? I, if I tell you the news that you are dying, I'm here. This is the secret of heaven..." Jiang Yilong waved his hand to Uncle Zhang, took me, said and went up the stairs.

After knocking at the door for a long time, Bai Ling may be asleep and didn't hear. I asked Jiang Yilong to light the lighter and take out the key to open the door. When I entered the house, I hurried to Bai Ling's room with a food box and shouted twice. No one answered. I just knocked on the door. The door didn't close and immediately opened a crack. I didn't think much. I simply pushed the door open. When I turned on the light in the room, Bai Ling didn't see her at all on her bed.

"Bai Ling, Ling, Ling er..."

"Little, little younger martial brother, what are you shouting? I seem to have drunk too much and feel uncomfortable. I, I'll go to bed first."

The house is so big. I quickly looked for it. In addition, there is so much noise when we come back. If Bai Ling is at home, how can she not hear it. I suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in my heart, and I woke up half drunk.

I didn't wake up, like Jiang Yilong sleeping in bed. I rushed into the toilet and washed a cold face. Now the thinking mode of my brain is a little normal. Bai Ling suddenly claimed to be uncomfortable and stayed at home to rest. But now it's so late. Bai Ling is not at home. Where will she go?

I don't know why. I didn't see Bai Ling when I came back. Except for a sense of uneasiness, I was lost. I wanted to find her, but I didn't know where to find her

I sat on the sofa in the living room and kept thinking and waiting. At two or three o'clock in the morning, Bai Ling still didn't come back. At this time, an idea suddenly flashed into my mind. Is it true that Bai Ling refused to go out to dinner with us today because he pretended to take the opportunity to leave us? You know, in the eyes of Jiang Yilong and I, she was originally a person of unknown origin. It is very likely that she felt bored and lost interest with us during this period of time, so she took the opportunity to leave.

But this idea seems to be illogical, because it is completely unnecessary. She wants to leave nature and tell us openly

Thinking, drunk and sleepy, I slept on the sofa.

Early the next morning, I didn't know what time it was. In a word, I was having a dream. It seemed that I was going to Zhaolin construction site with Bai Ling and them. Just as I was about to say something to Bai Ling, Jiang Yilong woke me up. "Younger martial brother, why don't you go back to your room and sleep here? Oh, I drank a little too much last night. I'm not very comfortable today."

I said, "elder martial brother, go to the store alone today."

"You're not feeling well?"

"No, I'm waiting for Bai Ling at home."

"You're waiting for Bai Ling at home. Isn't Bai Ling there..." when he pointed to Bai Ling's room, he saw the door open and could see whether there was anyone on the bed at a glance. "She went out early in the morning?"

I shook my head and said, "what time did we come back last night, do you remember?"

"Remember, I can't remember clearly. Oh, by the way, I seem to remember that Uncle Zhang opened the door for us when we came back. The doors were closed. That's after twelve o'clock."

"Yes. But when we came back last night, I found that Bai Ling was not in her room. I haven't seen her since."

"Don't tease me. She's not at home. Where can she go? She's not familiar with her life and has no relatives or reasons."

"What I said is true."

"So you mean she's missing?"

"That's not true. At least, I think something seems to have happened behind it."

I talked with Jiang Yilong for a long time, but I couldn't see Bai Ling. Most of what I said was just speculation. Finally, we discussed that Jiang Yilong went to the store alone today, while I stayed at home. Once I saw Bai Ling, I would inform each other.

After Jiang Yilong walked for more than half an hour, I suddenly thought of something. I quickly closed the door and went downstairs. When I came to the guard room, Uncle Zhang was lying in his rocking chair. His eyes seemed to be looking at the ceiling. It seemed that he was thinking too much, so that he didn't even notice me when I entered the guard room.

It was not until I raised my voice and shouted to him for the third time that Uncle Zhang noticed me. "Xiao Qi, it's you."

I hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhang, I want to ask you something. Did you see our Bai Ling yesterday?"

"Bai Ling, I don't remember the girl who lives with you."

"Oh, that's all right. I'll go first."

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, you wait first."

"Uncle Zhang, what else can I do for you?"

"Well, I thought very clearly last night. After I left, I hope you can handle this." while talking, Uncle Zhang took out a pile of money from the drawer and handed it to me. "Here is two thousand yuan, which is equivalent to my deposit."
