[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

After hanging up the phone, the fat man sent me the address. I looked at it, and I was quite familiar with that road. My third uncle lived there before, but I don't recognize the name of the shop.Recently, that area is being renovated, probably some kind of private kitchen in the newly built residential area.

The fat man has always had a special preference for private dishes. According to him, the taste is better than big pot rice. Although I don't agree with this, the food he invites me to eat occasionally in his spare time is really good.

"Fatty invites us to dinner tonight." I said to my little brother, "Let's go together later."

"Okay." Poker bottle said.

So I took another shower, changed my clothes, and went out with the oil bottle.

My Broken Gold Cup has been sold long ago, and now in Hangzhou, I actually don’t have my own car, and this trip is a private matter, so we directly called a car to go there.

Sure enough, the place given by the fat man was near a residential area. After walking inside for a while, we found the building, and the fat man was already downstairs to greet us.

"Where did you find it this time?" I asked casually.

"It is said that this ancestor was the home cook of Lin'an Mansion. He has been handed down for six generations to cook river fresh food with one hand. It can make people's tongues fresh."

After the fat man finished speaking, he turned to Poker Bottle, "Brother, do you miss me?"

Poker bottle actually nodded, the fat man smiled happily, and asked again: "Brother, are you and innocent, are you done?"

Poker-Face nodded again, he didn't expect him to have such a high degree of approval for Fatty, you must know that Xiaohua would always ignore Xiaohua's words to him.

"Stop talking." I immediately interrupted Fatty. According to my understanding of this guy, he will start to ask some unspeakable topics in almost the next sentence, and Poker Bottle will probably answer him.God, that would be such a shame.

The waiter led us to sit down. There are not many tables here, and there are intervals between each table, and they are separated by painted screens and green plants, creating ample communication space for the guests, but at the same time, the tables are full. , It can be seen that this business is very hot.

There is no menu here, just simply asked what tea and wine we would like.After waiting for a while, some small dishes such as bad duck and smoked fish were served, as well as a pot of tea.

I have no research on these. Although I have lived in Hangzhou for many years, I still have an authentic Hunan taste. The sweet taste of Hangzhou cuisine is average, but the taste of these small dishes is really refreshing.

"It's not a good season for us to come." The fat man said, "It's the middle of winter, and there's no spring tea, and there's no fat fish and fat shrimp. It's a pity that their table is fully booked after March this year, so we can only make do with it." Taste of the day."

While talking, a taste of West Lake vinegar fish was served first.There is this dish in the building next door to me. It should be said to be a local famous dish, but nowadays most Hangzhou restaurants make West Lake vinegar fish into sweet and sour fish. I forgot where I saw it. West Lake vinegar fish is actually salty and sour. Eat it An umami taste, not the sweet and sour taste of heavy oil and vinegar.

The plate of fish in front of me probably has the same taste as before, at least it seems so, I picked up a chopstick, the taste is really extraordinary, not to mention the fat man gobbled it up, even the little brother seemed to eat it with relish.

Soon the wine came, it was warm rice wine.Winter rice wine is the best drink. It warms the stomach like white wine, but it is not so spicy. The so-called "green ant new fermented wine, red clay small stove" is probably such a romantic atmosphere created by rice wine.At this moment, the three of us are sitting around the table, the outside world is isolated by the exquisite screen, and the warmth of drinking with old friends is getting stronger.

"How long has it been since we sat down and had a drink together?" The fat man sighed, "The last time, was it outside the Crescent Hotel?"

I think back, the details of the distant memory are not so clear, but it is about the same, there will be no big mistakes.

"Afterwards, every time we met, we were going to leave, so I didn't have that kind of mood anymore." I sighed, "In the past, we could drink and brag after things were done, but after the Crescent Hotel, it seemed that every time things were done, , can only finish hastily, and the thought of sitting together and blowing water is no longer there."

"These years, our brothers are also far apart." The fat man also sighed, and he rarely saw this kind of vicissitudes on his face, "To be honest, we are both tired and old. At that time, I thought maybe this Forget it for the rest of my life, this little brother of the Zhang family is not from the same world as us, maybe I will gradually forget about him, and tell those little bastards a legend when I grow old. Unexpectedly, you will have After a ten-year contract, I never thought that you could really get my little brother back."

"I didn't even think of it myself." I smiled, "I've thought about countless endings, but I never thought of such a good one."

"Cheers." The fat man filled the wine and raised his glass.

Our three glasses collided, and then we drank silently for a while, probably, everyone recalled the past.These thrilling pasts, ordinary people may not be able to experience a story in a lifetime, but because of this, this is a great torture to the heart.

We are actually just middle-aged, but our hearts are already very old, so old that we start to avoid many things instinctively. For any of the three of us, a year ago, if we had the opportunity to sit Eating a meal together may be ridiculed as a luxury.

In fact, being able to reach today's ending, although very tragic, is already one of the lucky ones in a million.

"From now on, you two are really grasshoppers on the same rope." The fat man suddenly said, "Where Wu Nong speaks softly in the south of the Yangtze River, the fat man's unruly soul can't be restrained, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you forever in the future." By your side, but our Iron Triangle will not collapse."

"Of course," I said.

"The kid went away and didn't talk to you." The fat man scolded, and then turned to the little brother, "Little brother, Wu Xie is a silly boy. You should know what he did for you in the past few years, and you must know it in your heart." There are many. I want to go back to Beijing, and the blind man will pester his Ahua. If you bully Wu Xie, we can't help him out. Besides, even if we help him out, it's no better than you bullying him It's serious, so you must remember what I said."

Poker-Face listened in a daze, and I was also stunned. I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or something, but my eyes were hot.

"From now on, we can make a deal, Xiao Wu entrusts you, don't make any more dramas like disappearing halfway, hiding everything from him. If something really happens, buddy, even in the ends of the world , I have to come here and be the master, even if I can't beat you, I will be a partner of justice at that time, with the halo of the protagonist, I will definitely punish you, remember?"

"Stop talking about this, my little brother can't understand." I couldn't help but say.

"I'm doing it for your own good, but you're still elbowing him." The fat man was annoyed.

"I know..." I was interrupted by Poker Bottle as soon as I finished speaking.

"I remember." Poker bottle said, raising the wine glass in his hand, "Don't worry."

"My little brother keeps his word, I feel relieved with your words." The fat man touched his little brother's wine glass with a grin, and did not forget to give me a disgusted look.

Afterwards, we ate, drank, and chatted, and soon the fat man drank too much. My brother and I carried him to a nearby express hotel to get a room.

The hotel room is very small and has no windows. I actually drank a lot. In addition, the fat man vomited from drinking, and the air was full of the smell of alcohol. , I went out to blow the air to sober up.

Along the alley at night, I walked aimlessly, and the cool breeze made me feel a little more comfortable.The rice wine has a lot of stamina, and it took me a long time to recover from the top-heavy state, and then I realized that I didn't know why, and I actually walked downstairs in a community.

Ordinarily, people would not come to such a place by walking subconsciously, but when I observed the surrounding situation, I was suddenly shocked and sobered up a lot.

This place turned out to be the third uncle's former residence.

As I said before, this restaurant is very close to my third uncle's former residence. In fact, this place has only been renovated recently, and the road outside has not changed, so I walked here subconsciously.

Uncle San is no longer here, and the neighborhood is very old. Looking at the dim streetlights, I found a stone pier and sat down.

I wanted to cry a little, not because of my third uncle, but because I suddenly realized that this is the place where my brother and I met for the first time.

That text message more than ten years ago brought me to the third uncle downstairs.It was here that I first saw the little brother who left with Wujin Gudao on his back.

At that time, I didn't know that the bond between each other would be so deep.

Now that he came back here again, it seemed that fate was intertwined again.

While I was in a trance, I saw Poker Ping approaching, probably because he was a little worried because I had been away for too long.

Under the street lamp, his shadow was stretched very long. His blue hooded sweater, black trousers, and his pale and delicate face were the same as when we first met.

For a moment, I felt as if I had returned to that time, nothing happened, nothing changed, nothing was lost.

The stuffy oil bottle walked towards me.

His expression was thoughtful, I thought, maybe he also remembered the specialness of this place.

"Brother." I called.

Poker Bottle nodded: "Is it here?"

I knew what he was asking, and sure enough, he hadn't forgotten.

"It's here." I smiled, "I suddenly felt that it would be great if nothing had happened yet."

Poker bottle came forward, knelt down in front of me, raised his head, and stared at me.

"Everything happened," he said, "but it's over now. The rest of your life is your own."

I hugged him and closed my eyes.

"This is our promise for the next decade."

Ten years of wind and rain, ten years of homelessness.

You arrived as promised, and the date has not been changed.
