Lovers come with the wind

Back in the Tongzilou, before going to bed, Zhuzi carefully questioned Zhuziniang what she and Director Meng had said, but she still had no clue at the end of the question, but became more and more frightened during the questioning process.He had a guess, but he didn't even dare to summarize it into a conclusion.He took care of Zhuzi's mother to lie down, and wrapped himself in a thin quilt and slept on the sofa in the living room. He recalled back and forth the big and small things that happened in the past five years after he met Wang Pengze. Xie endlessly questioned the distance between his heart and reality, and his heart was full of remorse and pain.

The next day happened to be Sunday, Wang Pengze planned to go out with Zhuzi and Zhuzi's mother in the morning, so he brought his camera and arrived at Tongzilou at 9 o'clock.He thought 9 o'clock was just right, but when he knocked on the door, he saw that Zhu Zi was sleepy, and Zhu Zi's mother was still snoring in the bedroom, her voice was even and violent.

Zhuzi wanted to wake up Zhuziniang, but was stopped by Wang Pengze.Wang Pengze told Zhuzi to let your mother wake up by herself, we can wait for a while.Zhuzi went to wash his face, and when he came back, he sat on the chair by the dining table, facing Wang Pengze face to face, and had nothing to say, just looked at Wang Pengze's face, and kept looking at Wang Pengze's face, Wang Pengze also looked at him, the two seemed to be competing Who is strong.Later, Wang Pengze laughed first, and asked Zhuzi: "Did you not sleep well last night? I just saw how thin your quilt was. I forgot last night. I should have asked you to bring the quilt over."

Zhuzi said, "No, I don't feel cold. You know, I have a high temperature."

Wang Pengze wanted to find a topic to talk about, so he said, "I'm still asking about the work of the transportation brigade. Do you know anything about the nature of the work of the transportation brigade?"

Zhuzi didn't answer this question, but summoned up his courage, looked into Wang Pengze's eyes, and said softly, "Uncle, I've already made a plan. I'm going back to the northwest with my mother."

Wang Pengze stared blankly at the pillar, and asked softly in doubt: "Aren't you coming back?"

Zhuzhu nodded.

Both of them lost the courage to face each other directly, Zhu Zi lowered his head, Wang Pengze looked out of the window, after a long time, he saw a ray of sunlight falling silently and alone on the window sill, he tried not to break in.Zhuziniang's snoring was still rising and falling from the bedroom.

Wang Pengze looked out of the window like this, and said to Zhuzi in a low voice: "Zhuzi, I want to ask you a question, which is what your mother asked me yesterday. Is it because of me that you never get married?"

At this moment, this question was asked by Wang Pengze, and it suddenly had extraordinary meaning.Zhu Zi was shocked, looked at Wang Pengze's profile, and immediately replied: "No."

"No?" Wang Pengze turned his head suspiciously and met Zhuzi's gaze, "Tell me the truth."

"I'm telling the truth." Zhuzi forced a smile, "If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have gotten married, and the reason is my own."

"I used to think so too." Wang Pengze said softly, "But now I think this idea is wrong. People's hearts can't be guessed, they just exist, you can't deny it."

Zhu Zi still said: "No."

The two sat quietly with a heavy heart, and the beam of sunlight slowly moved and climbed onto the table bit by bit.

Zhuzi became more and more sad and grief-stricken, and finally burst into tears uncontrollably.He lowered his head to hide his tears, but sobbed uncontrollably.He stretched out his hands, grabbed Wang Pengze's big hands on the table, and held them tightly with all his strength, as if these hands were the tails of the vague hopes in his life. Once they were released, will be lost forever.

Zhu Zi choked up word by word and said: "Whether there is or not, I will not stay here any longer. It is time for me to live my own life."

Looking at the body and soul trembling in pain, Wang Pengze gradually had tears in his eyes. Finally he sighed and said, "Then you can go. Don't go back to Nanjing again."

The two accompanied Zhu Ziniang to Yuhuatai. The whole trip was extremely dull, and neither of them had the heart to joke.Fortunately, Zhu Ziniang didn't understand that it was dull, she thought it was just like traveling, walking in front alone, looking east and west with her head held high.

Wang Pengze took many photos of the pillars, almost all of which were shadows of the pillars on the film.The two had a kind of tacit understanding. Every time they went to a scenic spot with few people, Zhuzi would stop. Wang Pengze must have raised his camera, looked at him in the lens, and recorded Zhuzi's melancholy eyes one by one.

On Monday morning, the leaders of the research institute had a small meeting in the director’s office. After the meeting, the director quietly asked Wang Pengze to stay, closed the door, sat down and said to him: “Old Wang, let me tell you something. Thing, someone in Beijing called me yesterday and asked if you really had an improper relationship with an underage homosexual, I immediately denied it. But this matter is worrying, will someone secretly tell you Come on for a while, so let me remind you, be careful yourself. There are many people in the institute, the relationship is complicated, and many boring people are related to the above."

Wang Pengze was stunned, and suddenly thought of Director Meng.

The whole day Wang Pengze was under a lot of pressure. When he went home to eat at noon, he suddenly felt unwell. He lay down on the bed for a while, and the pain caused bead-sized beads of sweat to appear on his forehead.Yao Min has been eating lunch in the canteen of the factory, and seldom goes home at noon. The old lady is taking care of her anxiously by bringing water and medicine.

Wang Xiaochuan lay on the side of the bed and watched Wang Pengze's uncomfortable state, and kept shouting: "Dad, Dad..." He started to cry after shouting.Wang Pengze smiled helplessly and said to him: "Why are you crying? Dad is sick, not dead." This sentence made the old lady feel sad, and she blamed him: "Look how you talk, I am so old , what would you think when you heard that word? Have you considered it?"

Wang Pengze still felt uncomfortable when he went to work in the afternoon, and kept pressing his abdomen with his hands while sitting in the office.Xiao Peng came in to report work, saw Wang Pengze's pale face, hesitated for a while, took out two bottles of medicine from his pocket, and said, "Mr. Wang, I have medicine for nourishing the liver and protecting the liver. You have to be careful not to stress too much. "Put the medicine on Wang Pengze's desk, and lift the thermos bottle to add water to Wang Pengze's water glass.

Wang Pengze looked at Xiao Peng in surprise, and asked in bewilderment, "Why do you need these medicines?" But looking at the medicine bottle, the sealing wax had not been peeled off.

After being puzzled for a while, Wang Pengze guessed something, so he asked in a low voice: "Xiao Peng, have you heard something?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, many people have heard these rumors."

Wang Pengze hurriedly asked, "Where did these rumors start?"

Xiao Peng replied, "The Tax Bureau."

Wang Pengze frowned, thinking that this is a good time to see, why there is another tax bureau, who is always against him.

In the afternoon, Lao Zhao also came to see Wang Pengze and said, "It's because of Zhuzi's mother, who made a lot of noise in the tax bureau. There are a bunch of grandchildren there, grabbing a word to make trouble."

Wang Pengze said helplessly: "Don't blame Zhu Ziniang, I can only say that I am not a suitable person to be a leader. My wish is to be a scholar like my father, but now I am getting farther and farther away from this wish. This era is changing so fast, I don’t even know what I am living for, and I am getting more and more confused.”

"What do you mean?" Lao Zhao asked worriedly, and then said seriously, "Soldiers come to block you, and water comes to cover you up. If someone sees you as the deputy director and feels uncomfortable and wants to slander you, you have to stand up and fight back. If you don’t want to say something, you should say it. To put it bluntly, there are so many small leaders in the institute, isn’t the daily job just to go to the director and talk about this and that? If someone talks about you, you have to talk about them too.”

Annoyed, Wang Pengze poured out a few pills from Xiao Peng's medicine and swallowed it with a frown.

This afternoon, Zhuzi and Zhuziniang were packing their luggage in the tube building, and decided to leave on Tuesday.There is not much luggage, and it will be collected soon.For the rest of the time, Zhuzi sat on the bed with Zhuziniang, taking out his unsold goods and filling the bed.Zhuzi's mother told Zhuzi to carry these goods back.The pillar said it was too heavy, and it was not a valuable thing, so it was better to give it to the neighbors.Zhu Ziniang thought about it, and felt that it was really not easy to take, so she picked out a lot of them for herself.Zhuzi also picked out a few pieces for Wang Pengze's family, and the rest of Zhuzi's mother gave them to other residents in the tube building, and dropped by the house to chat.Zhu Zi sat alone in the room, aware of the deep loss in his heart.

He thought it was okay, because he had imagined that he would suffer more intense pain when he left Nanjing. Perhaps the imagination was too painful, but the reality was calmer in comparison.

After dinner, he was going to say goodbye to Wang Pengze. At this moment, Zhu Ziniang suddenly remembered that there was a pack of raisins in her luggage for Wang Pengze’s family. The pillars are carried over.

The news that Zhuzi was going to leave Nanjing made the old lady and Wang Xiaochuan both cry. Yao Min was calmer and politely invited Zhuzi to come to play at home when he came to Nanjing in the future.Wang Pengze sat aside and did not speak.The old lady felt that Wang Pengze's reaction was too calm, so she asked, "Pengze, did you know that Zhuzi was leaving?" Wang Pengze nodded, then shook his head, and explained, "No, I knew about it yesterday." Said to Zhuzi: "Tomorrow morning, I will see you off."

When Zhuzi went downstairs to go home, Wang Pengze must accompany him through the alley.This is March, which is warm and cold, and there are few pedestrians in the alleys after dark.The two walked forward side by side in silence, and when their swinging arms occasionally touched, Wang Pengze suddenly took Zhuzi's hand.Seeing pedestrians in the distance, Zhuzi tried to break free in panic, and stopped him in a low voice: "Uncle..." Wang Pengze didn't answer, but held on tightly, and walked a few steps forward, watching the two cyclists passing by. Passed by, and looked back.

Zhuzi was flustered and uneasy, feeling that he was caught in an embarrassment that he didn't dare to face, and watched a few more people coming from the front.Wang Pengze held Zhuzhu's hand as if no one was there, walked to the streetlight at the entrance of the alley, and let go.Zhu Zi hid his hands in his coat pocket, avoiding Wang Pengze's gaze, not knowing how to say goodbye.

Wang Pengze said blankly: "You go back. Wait for me tomorrow morning, and I will drive you and your mother to the station."

Zhuzi turned around hesitantly and left. He couldn't understand what Wang Pengze's actions meant just now, and he couldn't tell what kind of farewell it was like. After walking for a while, he looked back eagerly. It was empty, and Wang Pengze could no longer be seen.

The next morning, Wang Pengze borrowed a car from Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao asked you why you borrowed the car warily, and when he heard that it was to deliver the pillars, he refused to give Wang Pengze the car keys anyway.Wang Pengze said Lao Zhao, don't stop me, even if you don't borrow it, I can still borrow another car.Lao Zhao closed the door and said to Wang Pengze that yes, you are now the deputy director, you can drive any car in the institute you want, but now is a critical period, there are too many people talking, you can borrow a car from others I will be caught, and my old Zhao's car is the safest.

Lao Zhao tried his best and found a lot of reasons to stop Wang Pengze from delivering the pillars.Wang Pengze couldn't agree with Lao Zhao, and time was tight, so he called other drivers in the research institute, but other cars were busy that day.Lao Zhao said you don't need to be so busy, if you trust me, Lao Zhao, let me deliver it, and I will definitely make things go well.

So in the morning, it was Lao Zhao who drove to deliver Zhuzi and Zhuziniang.In the car, Zhuzi asked Lao Zhao suspiciously: "Isn't today Tuesday? Why does my uncle have a meeting again? Don't you have a meeting on Monday?" Lao Zhao said with a smile: "You don't know, your uncle is now the deputy director. There are too many things, he has to hold a meeting for others, temporarily."

After that, Zhuzi didn't ask many questions, and handed over the key to the room in the tube building to Lao Zhao, asking him to bring it to Wang Pengze.Old Zhao took a sneak peek, and saw that Zhu Zhu was sitting upright on his seat, frowning, and staring at the hurrying pedestrians in the street with indifferent eyes, as if he was thinking about something nervously.

When he arrived at the station, Lao Zhao didn't get off the bus in a hurry, took out an envelope to Zhuzi, and said, "This is what your uncle asked me to give it to you, you take it well." Zhuzi opened the envelope and saw that it was a thick stack of money. I returned it to Old Zhao and said, "I can't take my uncle's money anymore, and it's not that I don't have money." Old Zhao said, "Your uncle told me that I must give it to you. If you don't take it, he will definitely blame me. "

Zhuzi took the money and asked Lao Zhao suspiciously: "I think it's impossible for my uncle not to come and see me off? So much money must have been prepared long ago. My uncle is ready to come and see me off. How could there be another impromptu meeting?" Woolen cloth?"

Old Zhao was speechless, so he could only say: "The meeting is all about the leadership, and I don't know. Your uncle also wanted to come, but he couldn't come. I feel very sorry, and told me to send you to the car."

Zhu Zi went to buy two train tickets, and the train will take half an hour.While waiting for the bus, Lao Zhao sat with them in the waiting room.Zhuzi didn't ask any more questions, just thinking about things in silence.Zhuzi's mother asked Lao Zhao: "What kind of official is Mr. Wang? You are so rich." Zhuzi's mother asked Zhuzi to show her the envelope containing the money, but Zhuzi refused and sat coldly.

Lao Zhao kept sending Zhuzi and Zhuziniang to the platform.The stop time of this bus was only 2 minutes. Old Zhao stood outside the window of the bus waiting for the bus to leave, while chatting with Zhu Ziniang who was sitting at the window.When the train started, Lao Zhao felt strange, and asked Zhu Ziniang: "Is Zhu Zi sitting next to you? Why did I feel like I didn't see it all the time?" Oops" shouted, pointing in the direction of Lao Zhao and asked loudly: "Zhuzi, why didn't you get in the car?"

When Old Zhao turned his head, he saw Zhuzi standing behind him.Zhu Zi's eyes were cold, and he said to Zhu Zi's mother: "I haven't finished my work yet, I will go back to the northwest when I am done."

Old Zhao rushed over to grab the pillar, but the pillar dodged and quickly blended into the crowd, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Lao Zhao searched for a long time near the train station, but couldn't find the pillar. After returning to the research institute, he hurriedly told Wang Pengze about the situation.Wang Pengze comforted Lao Zhao and said: "It doesn't matter, he is in his 20s, nothing will happen." Turning his head to look at the noisy world outside the window, he was very anxious, thinking of the fierceness that often appeared in Zhu Zi's eyes Light, I feel that the possibility of an accident is too great.

Director He's home is not far from the tax bureau, so he doesn't ride a bike every day, but walks through an alley to go home.It was getting dark when he left the office that afternoon. He walked out of the gate of the tax office and turned into an alley from the street. After walking not far, he saw a pillar standing in front of him.

Director He walked over with a smile on his face and asked, "Hey, Wang Yuzhu." Zhuzi said, "Director He, I want to ask something." After speaking, he walked to an unused space next to the alley.Director He seemed a little impatient, followed a few steps, and said, "Tell me something, I have to go home quickly." Zhuzi said, "I'm going to take off your clothes and let you run back from here naked, Let's see how you meet people in the future."

"Ah." Director He said angrily, "Wang Yuzhu, what do you mean?"

Zhuzi said: "You can spread rumors, so can I."

Director He roared, "Try it."

Zhu Zi immediately stepped forward, firmly pressed Director He against the wall, and pulled off his belt with his hand.Director He didn't expect Zhuzi's strength to be so great, and his body was suddenly controlled so that he couldn't move. He felt that his pants had fallen to his feet, and Zhuzi's hand was pulling his long johns again.Director He blushed, and said anxiously and angrily: "Wang Yuzhu, if you don't stop, I'm going to call someone." Zhuzi said: "You call, the more people there are, the better."

Director He pushed away Zhuzi's hand with all his strength, and frantically grabbed the long johns that were almost pulled to his knees.Seeing Director He's appearance, Zhuzi couldn't help laughing and held back.Director He put on his trousers, pointed at the pillar and said, "I'll forgive you today first." He was about to leave.Zhuzi said: "If you leave now, I will take you off again tomorrow on the street."

Director He didn't turn his head, and said loudly, "I am upright and I am not afraid of the shadow being crooked."

Zhu Zi sneered and said, "Are you considered upright? You are crooked even below."

These words made Director He unable to walk anymore, turned around and walked back, and said viciously: "I warn you, Wang Yuzhu, if you annoy me, don't even think about staying in Nanjing City in the future."

Zhuzi replied: "I also warn you, Director He, that before I leave Nanjing, I will ruin your reputation. It's not that I don't know about your scandals. As much as I know, I will let everyone in Nanjing know."

Director He had no choice but to stare at Zhuzi for a while, sighed helplessly, stepped back and leaned against the wall, and asked, "Tell me, what can you do with me?"

The next day, as soon as Wang Pengze went to work, he received a call from Director He. Director He seemed to be uncomfortable with his mouth, and said in a buzzing voice: "Old Wang, I know there are many rumors that are not good for you, but you can't Because these rumors started from the tax bureau, I thought it was me who spread the rumors. Many people heard what Zhu Ziniang said in the tax bureau compound. She should be blamed for this matter. If you also think it is me If you spread rumors, then I am really wronged to death."

Wang Pengze didn't understand why Director He said these words suddenly, and asked tentatively: "Director He, your voice seems wrong, are you feeling unwell?"

Director He said angrily: "I was punched twice by Wang Yuzhu of your family. I called to ask you. I think we are acquaintances. I will ask your opinion first. Do you think I should call the police? Wang Yuzhu was harassing me and even beat me."

From yesterday to now, Wang Pengze has been waiting for Zhuzi to call him, but there has been no news. He suddenly heard Director He talking about Zhuzi, and he couldn't help being a little excited, but he couldn't ask directly, so he just said: "Director He, you Let’s talk about this in detail, what’s going on?”

But Director He didn't want to talk about it, so he said viciously on the phone: "I don't want to talk about it anymore. Anyway, my attitude is rude and my methods are obscene. I just want you to give me an idea. Do you think I should go to the police?"

Wang Pengze was unhappy, frowned and said to Director He: "Director He, I have no reason to stop you from calling the police, but I hope you can show your conscience and think about it. Wang Yuzhu has become what he is today, can you not be held responsible?" responsibility?"

After putting down the phone, Wang Pengze walked to the window, looked out at the city outside with a frown, and felt that his liver was starting to feel uncomfortable again.

In the morning, Xiao Liu came to Wang Pengze's office, closed the door, sat opposite Wang Pengze and whispered: "Mr. Wang, some boring people in the office have already started to inquire about you. When we went to the Northwest for inspection, we met When we arrived at Zhuzi, didn’t I, Lao Zhao, Da Liu, and Xiao Peng all follow you that time? Now they’re starting to ask how many of us are. Me, Lao Zhao, and Da Liu don’t say anything, but Xiao Peng does. Maybe, he has always been very scheming, he doesn't speak every day, no one knows what he is thinking, so let me remind you, you have to be on guard against Xiao Peng."

Wang Pengze looked at Xiao Liu's serious look, smiled, and persuaded him: "Thank you, Xiao Liu. But you don't have to take this matter too seriously, it's not a big deal in the first place. Don't think about Xiao Peng that way either. Xiao Peng is also a very kind person. The more you think about other people’s problems, the more you will look wrong. People are like this. If you think too much, it will affect the relationship with colleagues and make yourself unhappy.”

Xiao Liu wanted to argue about something, opened his mouth, Wang Pengze waved his hand to stop him, and continued: "Xiao Liu, you are thinking of me, I am very touched. But from the perspective of an elder, I still have to tell you, in the future you will What's the matter, think about it for yourself first, you have to protect yourself before you can talk about helping others. Don't let you get into trouble for me, remember?"

Xiao Liu nodded and said, "I remember."

Wang Pengze looked at Xiao Liu, slightly dazed. For a few moments, he felt in a trance that the person in front of him was Zhu Zi. He remembered that he had said something similar to Zhu Zi a few years ago. He wondered if Zhu Zi remembered it. .

In the afternoon, Xiao Liu came in again, and said to Wang Pengze with indignation: "Mr. Wang, I reminded you this morning that you still didn't believe it. Now Xiao Peng has admitted it himself. He told Director Meng everything. You are in vain. You were so kind to him in the Northwest and protected him in everything, but he betrayed you, what a white-eyed wolf."

Wang Pengze smiled and asked Xiao Liu, "Where did you hear the news?"

Xiao Liu said: "I asked Xiao Peng, and he told me frankly."

Wang Pengze frowned, not knowing what this matter meant, and murmured to Xiao Liu: "Don't use the word 'betrayal', it's too serious, Xiao Peng didn't mean me badly, he was just a little timid .”

After being silent for a while, Wang Pengze suddenly thought of a question, and asked Xiao Liu suspiciously: "You just said that Xiao Peng told Director Meng everything. This sentence is a bit strange. Do you also think that there is nothing you can't say about what happened at that time? Is it?"

Xiao Liu replied hesitantly: "No."

Wang Pengze stared at Xiao Liu's expression, becoming more and more curious: "But your demeanor is clearly telling me that you think so."

While thinking about it, Xiao Liu said hesitantly, "It seems to be a little bit."

"Oh." Wang Pengze hurriedly asked, "Xiao Liu, don't treat me as a leader now, but as a friend. Tell me what's wrong. I'm very confused now, and I want to know too."

Xiao Liu frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "But I don't think I have anything to say."

Wang Pengze sat helplessly in a daze, and then said to Xiao Liu, "Why didn't you remind me then?"

Xiao Liu replied aggrievedly: "I didn't feel it at the time."

Wang Pengze was running out of patience: "Then when did you feel something was wrong? Was it after the rumors?"

"No." Xiao Liu seemed to have thought clearly, "Mr. Wang, you have always been closer to Zhuzi than to us."

"Yes." Wang Pengze responded immediately, "That's because he saved my life. It should be like this in terms of emotion and reason."

The two became silent again, and Wang Pengze couldn't find a question to ask for a moment.Xiao Liu thought for a while, scratched his scalp anxiously, and said with a sad face: "Mr. Wang, don't ask me any more, I'm confused too. Just pretend I didn't say anything." After speaking, he stood up and went out.

After thinking about it, Wang Pengze was even more worried about Zhuzi.He still didn’t get a call from Zhuzi throughout the day. He rode home after work. While waiting for the green light at the intersection, he looked at the street he passed every day, and suddenly felt a little strange. How many secrets could be hidden in this bustling city, so easily It hides a person who is close at hand but cannot be found.

After dinner, he was still thinking about it, and suddenly he had a feeling that Zhuzi would miss a certain place in this city, that is, the downstairs of his house.He put on his shoes and was about to go out. Yao Min came out of the big bedroom and asked, "Where are you going so late?" Wang Pengze said, "I'll go downstairs." Yao Min turned and went back to the bedroom, but Wang Pengze felt that Yao Min's tone was wrong, and he followed to the bedroom, where he saw Yao Min collecting the whole family's clothes from the balcony, sitting on the bed and folding them patiently.Wang Pengze asked in a low voice: "Yao Min, have you heard the gossip outside?" Yao Min didn't speak, but hurriedly folded Wang Xiaochuan's trousers, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes.With a heavy heart, Wang Pengze explained: "Don't believe it, it's all rumors."

Wang Pengze hid in the dark downstairs and stood there blankly until 10:[-] at night, but he didn't see the pillar coming.

The next day Wang Pengze went to work by bicycle, and as soon as he turned into the street of the research institute, he saw a lot of white copy paper pasted on the walls on both sides of the research institute, lined up in a long row, covering almost the entire street.Many people were standing there watching. Wang Pengze noticed that each sheet had the same content, so he took a closer look at one and was surprised to find that the content was a list of tax evasion in Director Meng's small restaurant. conclusive.

Knowing that it must be the pillars, Wang Pengze hurriedly tore them off the wall one by one. When he walked to the entrance of the institute, he saw Director Meng also tearing the papers from the wall from the other side and walking towards this side.Director Meng tore to the entrance of the institute tired and angry, turned his head and saw Wang Pengze looking at him, tears were about to flow out of his anger, and his mouth was crooked.

Wang Pengze didn't know how to explain, so he hurriedly handed over a stack of papers in his hand, and seeing many colleagues watching, he said to Director Meng, "Director Meng, I don't know about this at all."

Director Meng had lost his former demeanor, and shouted angrily: "I know, I know who did it, but he picked the wrong person. Let me make it clear in front of so many people, you are the deputy director." , how can I still have the ability to bully you now, as long as I don't get revenge from you, I feel lucky."

For several nights in a row, Wang Pengze waited persistently downstairs, standing in the darkest remote place and looking at the open space in front of the building. When his eyes were tired, he turned his eyes away and leaned his back against the wall to close his eyes for a while.He wondered if he should bring a chair down from the house, and maybe just sit and wait without being so disturbed.He wanted to smoke, reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes, when he suddenly heard footsteps getting clearer and clearer.Looking quietly, a familiar black figure was walking directly beside him through the dim light from the residential building with his head down, but he turned around and looked at the house on the third floor without looking up.

Zhu Zi didn't expect that there were other people in this hidden place, and suddenly heard someone behind him lighting a match carefully. He was startled, and turned around hastily, seeing Wang Pengze's face illuminated by the faint flame of the match.Wang Pengze threw the match, stood in the dark smoking a cigarette, and said to the pillar in a cold tone: "I thought you were so vigilant, you didn't even know there was such a big person behind you."

Zhu Zi had nothing to say, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, how long have you been waiting for me?"

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"No."

"Want to eat?"

"think."

"Then come with me."

Wang Pengze strode past the pillar and walked in front.Zhu Zi hurriedly followed, not knowing where he was going, and seeing Wang Pengze's expression obviously angry, he didn't dare to ask.

Passing by several small restaurants, Wang Pengze didn't go in. He kept walking towards Tongzilou, bought a lot of cooked meat and cold dishes, and bought a bottle of wine on the way.After opening the door and entering the house, I didn't open the window for ventilation, and didn't wipe the table with a rag. I took a few plates from the cupboard and threw them on the table with a clang.The pillars put the bought vegetables on the plate.Wang Pengze sat down and opened the wine bottle, and said to Zhuzi, "I didn't accompany you to drink the farewell wine when you said you were leaving last time. I will make it up today."

Zhuzi looked at Wang Pengze, felt that he was acting weird at the moment, and was a little worried, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Uncle, why do you want to drink again?"

Wang Pengze looked into Zhuzi's eyes indifferently, and asked, "Are you talking about drinking?"

"Drinking hurts your body?"

"Does being angry hurt your body?"

"It hurts."

"I'm very angry now, and drinking can keep me from being angry. Do you think I should drink?"

"It depends on which is more harmful to the body, drinking or being angry."

"Can you measure it?"

"No."

"Then you think it's right to stop me from drinking?"

Zhu Zi looked at Wang Pengze warily and said, "I don't know."

"Do you think you're stupid?"

Zhuzi became upset, and asked loudly, "Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Pengze stopped talking, only drank, and had a cup after another with Zhuzi. Later, Zhuzi felt dizzy, as if his consciousness was eagerly leaving his brain, and wanted to float away alone. He couldn't even see the dishes on the table clearly, and his head was only alcohol dangling.Zhuzi asked, "Uncle, what kind of wine is this?"

Wang Pengze asked Zhuzi: "Did no one dare to beat you since you were young?"

"No, my mother beat me when I was young."

"Now I want to beat you again instead of your mother, are you willing?"

Zhu Zi was so stimulated by the alcohol that he lost all feeling, he laughed and said, "Then you hit it."

"Then go lie down on the table and take off your pants."

Zhu Zi laughed a few times, felt something was wrong, stopped laughing, looked at Wang Pengze's face suspiciously, and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Pengze said loudly, "Go quickly."

Zhu Zi still didn't understand what kind of medicine Wang Pengze sold in the gourd, so he hesitated and staggered to the sofa, and lay down on the big coffee table.Wang Pengze stood up, took a feather duster from the top of the bookcase, walked to the pillar, and urged: "You still don't take off your pants, where do you want me to hit them?"

Zhu Zi pulled down his trousers a little, exposing half of his buttocks, turned to look at Wang Pengze, saw the feather duster in Wang Pengze's hand waving a shadow under the light, and pulled it over without hesitation.

This duster was extremely sharp, and it made the pillar burn with pain.Only then did Zhuzi wake up, put on his pants and stood up suddenly, and asked Wang Pengze angrily, "Uncle, are you really hitting me?"

Wang Pengze scolded sharply: "If you are not convinced, you can beat me too."

Zhuzi met Wang Pengze's gaze for a while, and said, "You know that I won't hit you." Then he angrily took off his pants to his knees, lay down on the big tea table, and said loudly, "Then hit, hit you!" I'll be fine."

Wang Pengze didn't soften his heart because of this sentence, he whipped it down again and again without hesitation, and the feather duster whizzed in the air with the wind.Wang Pengze has never been so ruthless as today, he angrily drew all kinds of blood on Zhuzi's thigh.Zhu Zi gritted his teeth and endured without saying a word.Later, the bamboo pole in the middle of the feather duster cracked and trembled softly. Wang Pengze whipped it like a whip, and it broke.

Wang Pengze was also tired, threw the broken feather duster on the ground, walked aside, kicked a spittoon in front of Zhuzhu's face, and whispered wearily: "Spit it, Zhuzi." Zhuzi just lay on the coffee table like that, Opening his mouth, he spat out the food and wine in his stomach with a "wow".

When Zhu Zhu vomited and there was nothing to vomit, Wang Pengze took the spittoon to the bathroom to rinse it off. When he came back, he saw Zhu Zi still lying on the coffee table.Wang Pengze lit a cigarette, sat on the sofa and asked Zhuzi, "Can you still stand up?"

Enduring the pain, Zhuzhu got up slowly, and put on his pants with difficulty in front of Wang Pengze, with tears in his eyes.

While smoking a cigarette, Wang Pengze asked, "Crying? Tell me why you are crying."

"I will not say."

"Then let me tell you." Wang Pengze sighed and said, "You think you have done a lot for me. You taught me a lesson for Director He and Director Meng for me. Your arm was bitten off by a wolf for me. With me, you came to Nanjing to go to school, and even traveled all the way to the northeast to celebrate the New Year with me, but I didn’t appreciate it in the end.”

Zhuzi turned his head away, not letting Wang Pengze see the tears in his eyes, and said stubbornly: "I cry because you were not such a person before, and you would not treat me like this before."

"That's because you didn't see me clearly." Wang Pengze immediately responded bluntly, "I've always been like this, and you are the one who lied to yourself. I am a different person from you."

Zhu Zi turned around suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise and anger, as if he couldn't believe what Wang Pengze said.He pointed at Wang Pengze and said loudly, "You are no different from me."

Wang Pengze said again: "Zhuzi, I am different from you, this is a fact."

Zhuzhu grabbed Wang Pengze's hand to make him stand up, pressed his tall body against the wall, and insisted: "I can prove to you that you are the same as me." After speaking, he immediately clung to Wang Pengze's body, eager to kiss his lips.

Zhuzi reached out to touch Wang Pengze's crotch through his trousers, but there was no response as expected, and he felt annoyed.
