dress like a wealthy old man

It was nearly four o'clock when we left Guide Temple.

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhou was in a low mood, Lin Sining thought for a while, and said, "Turn left at the intersection ahead, go to Jinghua Road."

Lu Yuanzhou, who has not recovered from the inexplicable words of the old monk just now, heard Lin Sining's voice suddenly, and subconsciously slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, there are not many cars on this road, and both of them are wearing seat belts. , otherwise it will be affected by the braking force.

The car stopped on the road, and Lu Yuanzhou obviously sensed his gaffe, he coughed lightly, and asked in embarrassment: "Brother, aren't we going back to the company?"

Lin Sining raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist: "No, it's almost time to get off work when I rush back."

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhou also glanced at the time on the navigation in the car. Indeed, it is almost four o'clock now, and the distance between Guide Temple and the city is not too close. When they entered the city at five o'clock, it was almost just in time for the evening rush hour. By the time I got back to the company, it was already time to get off work.

Looking back, Lu Yuanzhou nodded, and the car started driving on the road again, and when passing the intersection, turned left into Jinghua Road as Lin Sining said before.

I thought Lin Sining meant to go straight home, but at the intersection of Jinghua Road, I heard Lin Sining say again, "Go straight ahead."

Now Lu Yuanzhou was a little dazed, but he thought about it. The route Lin Sining said can actually reach home, but it will take a small detour and the distance will be a little longer. Maybe his elder brother actually wants to relax. Let's go shopping for a while.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhou felt relieved, he drove as Lin Sining said, but the more he drove, the more he felt something was wrong, until four or ten minutes later, Lu Yuanzhou realized that he was going farther and farther, and he was about to reach the evening rush hour. Don't remind Lin Sining.

While hesitating, Lin Sining suddenly said, "Just stop in front."

Lu Yuanzhou was taken aback, and looked ahead, only to see a small billboard standing about 100 meters away. The whole billboard was army green with a few large golden characters printed on it.

Wenxin Shooting Club.

Having lived in City B for more than 20 years, it was the first time that Lu Yuanzhou heard that there was a shooting club here, and what surprised Lu Yuanzhou even more was that Lin Sining would actually bring him to such a place.

"The club in front?" Lu Yuanzhou asked hesitantly.

"Ah."

His elder brother has a gentle temper and a good temper. With his personality, he doesn't seem to like these things, and he has lived with Lin Sining for so long, and he has never heard that Lin Sining is interested in shooting.

There are at least fifteen light shooting ranges in City B. Apart from some civilian ones, there are also some higher-end live ammunition shooting ranges, which are similar in nature to private clubs, with a membership system, and ordinary people cannot enter.

Of course.

There is also the last one, which is a shooting range dedicated to the military. The gun facilities inside are more complete than the first two, but this kind of shooting range is not open to the public, and is often only used for military training. Also difficult to get in.

But no matter which of these three kinds, Lu Yuanzhou has never heard that Lin Sining has been there.

After the car stopped, Lu Yuanzhou and Lin Sining got out of the car together. The entrance of this shooting gallery is unremarkable. It looks like it has just been renovated. Some tools on the ground have not been put away, and they are scattered on the ground together with the billboards. .

Different from Lu Yuanzhou's unfamiliarity with this place, Lin Sining seemed very familiar with this place. He led Lu Yuanzhou to open the entrance door and walked in.

As soon as you enter, there is a long staircase, and you can't even see the end at a glance. The lights inside are a bit dim, and the environment is a bit cramped and narrow. After walking down the stairs for about 5 minutes, the eyes suddenly open up.

A room of about [-] square meters appeared in front of the two of them. The lights were as bright as day, but the furnishings were still very simple. There were only a few waiting tables and chairs and a white cash register.

When Lin Sining brought Lu Yuanzhou in, there was a person lying on his stomach behind the cash register who seemed to be sleeping. After hearing the movement, he slowly raised his head and rubbed his eyes.

The man looked to be in his early 30s, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and dark skin, and his face was marked by sleep marks, but his eyes were very sharp, but the sharpness and guard were only for a moment, and he was seeing clearly When it was Lin Sining who came, a smile appeared on the face of the dark-skinned man.

Showing his big white teeth, he greeted Lin Sining: "Brother Lin, why are you free to come over today!"

"Well, come and have a look, this is my younger brother, Yuan Zhou." Lin Sining introduced to the man.

As soon as the words were spoken, Lu Yuanzhou saw the dark-skinned man's grin widen. Matching his appearance, he looked very simple and honest: "Hello, I'm Yao Lie."

Lu Yuanzhou also smiled, nodded to him a little shyly, reached out to shake his hand, and remembered the name in his heart at the same time.

Yao Lie?

He really never knew that there was such a person beside Lin Sining. Don't look at this person's simple and honest face, but when he shook hands just now, he could clearly feel the callus on this person's hand. The location should be the callus formed by holding a gun for a long time .

If I'm not mistaken, he should be a veteran.

After the three of them had a brief chat, they learned that Lin Sining was going to play with guns today. Yao Lie used his card to open the thick and heavy bulletproof door, but there was something hidden inside the door. Yao Lie took them to get the basics first. Protective tools for two people.

Said to be a protective tool, in fact, there are only two noise-canceling headphones and goggles.

"Will Brother Lin still go to the old place today?" Yao Lie asked Lin Sining after handing the things to the two.

After Lin Sining nodded, Yao Lie took out a silver card from his pocket, brought the two of them to a room, swiped the card to open the door, and handed the card to Lin Sining: "Specific precautions, brother Lin Clearly, brother, if you don’t understand anything, just ask Lin Ge to teach you, and I will go out first, I wish you all the best of fun.”

Looking at the back of Yao Lie leaving, Lu Yuanzhou was a little speechless, which was too irresponsible.

"Xiaozhou, come here."

Before Lu Yuanzhou could think about it, he heard Lin Sining's voice behind him. Lu Yuanzhou put away the messy thoughts in his head, turned around and walked towards Lin Sining.

This is a small suite. When Lu Yuanzhou walked over, Lin Sining was taking something from the cabinet. They were two parts sealed in a transparent airtight bag. The model of the pistol was written on it. Lu Yuanzhou took a closer look, and it was a pistol. A very common model in China, a black Browning.

As long as it is a man, there is no one who does not like guns. This kind of thing has a natural allure for men. Although Hua Guo bans guns, this does not hinder men's interest in guns, and Lu Yuanzhou is no exception.

If it weren't for his personality not allowing him to go in and out of the shooting range frequently, Lu Yuanzhou would definitely be a frequent visitor to the shooting ranges.However, his personality is destined to limit his performance, and he is very helpless about this.

Seeing the gun parts in front of him at this time, no matter how calm Lu Yuanzhou was, he still felt a little eager to try.

Seeing his liking, Lin Sining waved to him, and when he came over, he pushed the bag of parts in front of him to Lu Yuanzhou, saying, "Try it."

Lu Yuanzhou pulled a bench and sat down next to Lin Sining, opened the sealed bag, and began to study the assembly, but after all, he seldom touched on these things. Although he had checked the knowledge in this area because of his hobby, it was still difficult to actually operate it.

Different from Lu Yuanzhou's unfamiliarity, after Lin Sining took the parts out of the bag, his white and slender hands nimbly and quickly assembled the scattered parts one by one. In just a moment, a complete black Browning appeared on the on the desktop.

Lu Yuanzhou looked at the gun that had just been fitted with a slide in his hand, and then looked at the already assembled Browning in Lin Sining's hand.

Lu Yuanzhou: ...

There was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted to cry a little.

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhou's movements stopped, Lin Sining put down the gun in his hand and asked, "Do you need help?"

No need.

Of course it is impossible.

At his speed, another 10 minutes or [-] minutes may not be able to install it. If you don’t know it, you won’t. It’s not shameful to be frank.

That's what Lu Yuanzhou told himself, so he nodded decisively: "Well, trouble..."

Before he could finish his polite words, Lin Sining's sudden approach made him froze on the spot.

In order to make it easier for Lu Yuanzhou to see the operation steps clearly, Lin Sining deliberately slowed down when dismantling the pistol/gun. His movements were extremely elegant. When disassembling the parts, it was like making a work of art. Just looking at it makes people feel uncomfortable. Sincerely pleasing to the eye.

When dismantling the relatively fragmented parts, Lin Sining became very patient, and explained in a low voice the names of the lower parts and the order of disassembly.

The deep and slightly hoarse voice was extremely clear in the closed room, and it was imprinted in Lu Yuanzhou's mind word by word. brand.

After dismantling the last part, Lin Sining pushed it in front of Lu Yuanzhou, raised his chin slightly, and beckoned him to try it himself.

For some reason, Lu Yuanzhou felt like his heart was hit by something, and it beat very fast.

Lu Yuanzhou lowered his head in a panic, and reached out to grab the parts in front of him, but as long as he thought that these parts were still in Lin Sining's hands just now, with the warmth of Lin Sining's palm, he felt dry mouth and tongue, the temperature in the room was too high, it was very hot .

He forced himself to calm down, and the scene of Lin Sining's dismantling just now appeared in his mind, and under Lin Sining's watchful eye, he began to assemble the scattered parts little by little.

When the entire gun was fully assembled, a thin layer of cold sweat had already broken out on Lu Yuanzhou's forehead, and he didn't know if it was from heat, nervousness, or some other reason...

Lin Sining took the gun installed by Lu Yuanzhou, and adjusted it briefly. After confirming that there was no problem, he returned the gun to Lu Yuanzhou, and picked up the parts that Lu Yuanzhou hadn't put together for the first time before. With his eyes blindfolded at this time, he was still able to assemble the gun.

After the two guns were assembled, Lin Sining stood up, put on the goggles, and opened the door in the inner room. The space inside was larger than the one outside. The marble countertop is divided into two halves. There are tables and chairs for people to rest on the left side, while the right side is relatively empty, with six target plates hanging on the wall.

There were two boxes of bullets on the marble countertop, Lu Yuanzhou took out a few bullets from the box very naturally to fill his gun, and handed it to Lin Sining.

Lin Sining raised his eyebrows, and gave Lu Yuanzhou the unloaded gun in his hand.

While Lu Yuanzhou was loading the bullet, Lin Sining was already standing in front of the target plate, and raised his hand to test the feel.

Speaking of which, Lin Sining hadn't held a gun for a long time, but it didn't mean that he was unfamiliar with guns. For a long time in his previous life, Lin Sining needed a gun to sleep every day, otherwise he couldn't fall asleep at all.

With a little force on his fingers, he pulled the trigger.

The huge recoil made Lin Sining's arms numb. The original owner probably hadn't touched guns much before, and occasionally going to the gym to exercise was just a show, without any training, so his body looked normal, but in fact he was weak.

The recoil brought by the pistol/gun can make his arm go numb, really...

lame.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuanzhou, who had just loaded the bullets, stared at the bullet holes on the target plate dumbfounded. Although he was not as exaggerated as hitting the bull's-eye, he still scored eight rings.

is that a lie? ?

This is not a game of playing balloons with toy plastic guns in the park. This is a real gun. If you say that the people who can achieve this result have not been trained, Lu Yuanzhou would not believe it, but Lin Sining grew up with him ,he……

The words that the old monk said today suddenly popped into Lu Yuanzhou's mind in a trance.

Lost and found.

Lin Sining got used to it, picked up the gun again and fired a few shots in a row, but in the end, his physical fitness was not very good, and his best score was only nine rings.

Sighing, he turned to look at Lu Yuanzhou beside him, and found that the little wolf dog was staring at the target board in a daze.

Lin Sining was a little funny, speaking of it, if Lu Yuanzhou is really that person, that person's marksmanship is much more accurate than his own.

"Xiaozhou, do you want to try?" Lin Sining asked.

Lu Yuanzhou came back to his senses, nodded in a daze, raised his hand and took the gun to shoot.

Lin Sining had no choice but to put down the gun in his hand and walked behind Lu Yuanzhou's right side, reached out to hold his arm, and corrected his posture of holding the gun and aiming.

The distance between the two had never been so close. Lu Yuanzhou could even feel Lin Sining's warm breath hitting his neck. The heat that had finally faded from his body came back again, making it difficult to breathe.

Hands began to tremble unconsciously.

Lin Sining felt that Lu Yuanzhou's arm was shaking all the time, he was taken aback, and asked, "Uncomfortable?"

Lu Yuanzhou's ears were a little hot, he moved his mouth but couldn't make a sound, afraid of being misunderstood by Lin Sining, he could only shake his head, shaking his head vigorously to show that he was not uncomfortable.

Just so excited.

I can't tell why I'm excited, but I feel very happy, unprecedentedly happy.

Lu Yuanzhou exhaled, tightened his grip on the gun, felt Lin Sining's breathing and heartbeat, and pulled the trigger.

It was the first cooperation between him and his elder brother. Lu Yuanzhou opened his eyes and looked at the target plate nervously. He thought that the tenth ring must be safe, but he never missed it. Injected into the fifth ring.

Lu Yuanzhou: ...

An unprecedented sense of frustration swept over his body, and Lu Yuanzhou, who had always been confident, suddenly felt so depressed.

This is too embarrassing.

Just when Lu Yuanzhou was lost, he suddenly heard a chuckle in his ear, he turned his head slightly, and saw Lin Sining's eyebrows crooked, looking at him softly, without blame or disappointment, his eyes were full of smiles.

Seeing Lin Sining's smile, Lu Yuanzhou inexplicably felt a little weak in his legs.

He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but unexpectedly, he was coughed by himself as soon as he opened his mouth. Lu Yuanzhou immediately covered his mouth with his hand and turned his face to the side, suppressing the sound of suppressed coughing that rang out in the room one after another.

Now Lin Sining was really helpless.

After confirming the identity of the little wolf dog, he originally wanted to tease the little wolf dog, but unexpectedly he lived and returned.

In fact, Mr. Lin was a little confused after he came out of Guide Temple, but the biggest difference between him and Lu Yuanzhou is that Mr. Lin has been in the shopping mall for so many years, and his emotions and anger have long been invisible. Even if there is a storm in his heart, but His face was still able to remain calm, he had long been used to hiding his emotions.

Lin Sining is a thoughtful person.

When he was young, he was a staunch atheist. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he didn't believe in karma, because if the world really paid attention to karma, he should have gone to hell long ago. How could he have lived so long without incident?

But when Lu Yuan died, Lin Sining suddenly discovered that such a thing as retribution actually existed.

Some people are like this, you don’t feel how important he is when he is there, and you even reject him again and again, but one day he really left, lying there with his eyes closed, motionless Sometimes, you will suddenly feel as if a piece of your heart has been dug out.

Lin Sining is not afraid of pain.

He has suffered countless injuries since he was a child, including knife wounds and gunshot wounds. He still felt pain at first, but later he got used to the pain.

He just felt a little empty.

Lin Sining locked himself in the room for two days and accepted the fact that Lu Yuan was dead.

It's not that I haven't experienced death, it's just that I've seen too much, and I've become numb instead.At the most embarrassing moment, all the trusted people around Lin Sining had died, and he himself was seriously injured and lay in the ICU for three months.

Get out of hell.

Lost too much, also do not care.

Lin Sining thought that Lu Yuan's death would be the same this time, as time goes by, it will eventually fade away, and finally the familiarity will become strange, until the name completely disappears from memory.

So Lin Sining went on as usual, working, eating, socializing, and sleeping as usual, no different from before.

But habit is really a very scary thing sometimes.

One morning, Lin Sining opened the window and saw the pomegranate tree blooming outside the window, the red ones were very beautiful.

Suddenly remembered that when he just moved here, he thought the tree was in the way, and planned to have the tree removed.

Lu Yuan, who has always been taciturn, made a request to him for the first time, wanting to keep this pomegranate tree.

Lin Sining didn't ask the reason, but acquiesced.

It's not because Lin Sining treats Lu Yuan so well, but because Lu Yuan sacrificed his life for that request, it's just a tree, there's no need to refuse it.

Lu Yuan is very concerned about this pomegranate tree, and he will come to have a look every now and then. He moves a small bench and sits under the tree for the whole afternoon. Lin Sining can often see him taking pictures of the pomegranate tree with his mobile phone, but he never Have seen those photos.

Lin Sining pushed open the window that day, and when he saw the pomegranate flowers blooming outside the window, he suddenly wanted to see the photos Lu Yuan had taken before, and wanted to know what makes this pomegranate tree so precious to Lu Yuan.

He called his secretary and asked him to find the mobile phone that Lu Yuan used before his death.

Lu Yuan has very few belongings, a few changes of clothes, two books, a gun, a mobile phone, and nothing else. At first, Lin Sining wanted to burn these things together, but in the end, he kept them by mistake. up.

The secretary delivered the mobile phone in the afternoon, and it was thoughtfully fully charged when it arrived.

The phone is locked and requires a password.

Lin Sining tried several times, but he was wrong. When his patience was about to run out, a series of numbers suddenly flashed in his mind.

746464.

With a loud bang, the lock was unlocked.

Lin Sining stared blankly at the phone with a complicated expression, as if something was stuck in his heart.

After a long time, he rubbed the space between his brows, calmed down his emotions, and clicked into the photo album slowly.

He thought that there would be a lot of photos in Lu Yuan's album, because he would always see him taking pictures with his mobile phone when he was free, but in fact, when Lin Sining actually clicked into the album, he suddenly found that there were only More than 100 photos.

The cover is a lush tree.

Lin Sining knew that this was the pomegranate tree downstairs. The pomegranate tree took up most of the picture, and the upper left corner of the tree was an open window.

That is the window of his room.

For a moment, Lin Sining didn't want to continue watching, and wanted to seal up all Lu Yuan's things, never to touch them again.

But finally clicked in.

When looking at the photos inside, Lin Sining, who has always been indifferent, seemed to be unable to see anything in his eyes, was suffocated, his heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and he was a little out of breath. .

There are really many pomegranate trees in the photo album, but there is a window in the upper left corner of each photo. Sometimes there is a person sitting by this window, sometimes not.

From that day on, Lin Sining found that something seemed to be missing in his life.

When I was working, I was missing a person who would remind him to eat three meals a day at regular times; when eating, I was missing someone who was obviously not happy with meat, but would accompany him to eat healthy fruits and vegetables every day; when socializing, I was missing a word No one who helps him stop smoking and drinking; and when he sleeps...

When sleeping, there is a lack of someone who can disperse the nightmare.

In fact, each of these things can be taken out individually, and a replacement can be found, but when all these things are put together, Lin Sining suddenly finds that even after searching all the memories and lists, he still can't find a long way to go. up.

But Lu Yuan died.

When he realized this again, Lin Sining, who had quit smoking for a long time, smoked for a day at home. He was slightly clean, but that day he let the floor of his room be full of cigarette butts and ash, and the solid wood floor was covered by the floor that had not been completely extinguished. There were a few unsightly pits from the burn.

When the butler was about to send someone to replace the floor, Lin Sining stopped him.

So be it.

Lin Sining's life has returned to the right track, he is still as tough as before, he still maintains his original living habits, he still maintains a calm and indifferent appearance, nothing seems to have changed, Lu Yuan has completely become a past tense.

only...

The floor of the room and the pomegranate tree in front of the window have remained the same as when Lu Yuan just left.

Until Lin Sining crossed over, nothing changed.

"Big brother?"

Lin Sining heard someone yelling in his ear, he came back to his senses, and met Lu Yuanzhou's concerned eyes.

Fortunately.

Lost and found?

What a wonderful word.
