Dip in fire

Chapter 1 Big World, Enemy Road Narrow

The cloudy days in winter sometimes give people a feeling of "sleeping", as if the mind is still wrapped in a thick quilt, and has not yet followed the eyes and touched the dim light.

It's a cloudy day today, and judging by God's face, it's probably snowing.The air flow is also very unfriendly, as long as you stretch your head, the northeast wind can almost make a sound and twitch the half-confused brain.

A dazzling black Audi Q5 jeep was pulling aside on the street.The big guy stepped out of the awkward beating of the little feet, and the red pointer on the speedometer dial was only at ten and a half grids.

The warm air in the car was hot and artificial, making the skin of the person in the driver's seat feel hot.

Zhang Weilan simply reached out and cut off the air conditioner in the car.He was so stuffy that he opened the car window again.

The cold air slid in through the gap, arched into Zhang Weilan's collar, and stuck to his hair.

The coolness in his head made his temples twitch suddenly, and he immediately felt a headache, as if his brain was stuffed into a twist machine and twisted.

Zhang Weilan frowned, and quickly closed the car window.He shook his head a few more times, somehow calming down a bit.

I don't know which car passed him.This time it was a Champagne Gold Santana that came up from behind.

The Santana car has bright skin and a flamboyant position. It passed the Audi Q5 and drove away. ——No snail cub with a large turtle shell can crawl so slowly.

Zhang Weilan finally put his foot on the accelerator and increased the speed of the car, not allowing his black jeep to be loaded with chicken feces on the road.

There was a red light ahead, and Zhang Weilan was too lazy to wait, so she turned the steering wheel and turned right.

He took the road very casually, not because all roads lead to Rome, but because he traveled aimlessly, so the speed and direction did not matter.

Zhang Weilan turned into a street in a daze.The road sign on the street corner is inconspicuous on a cloudy day, as if covered with dust.It says "Zhongshui Road", with a pair of small arrows pointing at things under the tail.

Zhang Weilan took a quick look and found two KTVs.This is a commercial and entertainment street.

It's mid-afternoon, and there are still a few shops that are not open.

Zhang Weilan was walking on the wheel when the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He picked up his mobile phone and connected: "Hello."

Zhang Yanhuan's voice was thin and sweet, a typical little girl: "Brother, when are you coming back? At the end of this month? Or New Year's Day?"

"What do you need from me?" Zhang Weilan asked without answering.

"fine......"

Zhang Yanhuan hesitated for a while, knowing that he couldn't get around Zhang Weilan, so he could only say, "Can you come back this year for the New Year?"

Then she was half coquettish and half begging: "Brother, come back, okay?"

Zhang Weilan paused and didn't speak immediately, he stopped the car: "Xiao Huan, stop messing around."

Zhang Yanhuan was unhappy: "I didn't mess around."

"Even if you don't come to uncle's place, at least stay where I can get it. You just got out of the hospital last month, who can rest assured about yourself..." Zhang Yanhuan said half of himself was dumb.

Can she put her mind to it?When did her bastard brother care whether other people's hearts are hanging or hanging?

Zhang Weilan really didn't care, choked and said: "What else?"

"..." Zhang Yanhuan had no choice but to change his mind, "Then you must pay attention to your body!"

Zhang Weilan: "..."

Zhang Weilan was really confused.He thought conscientiously, since he was a child, he raised Zhang Yanhuan with both hands, but the result was unsatisfactory.Not to mention ladylike, Zhang Yanhuan's outer skin and inner skin are too different, and he has actually evolved into a salty radish and careless little teacher, and the root of the radish is thrown in his face.

"You must eat on time, do you know? Don't take three meals a day seriously, I will call you to check on the post. If you get sick again, I will never end with you. Did you hear that? No end!"

Zhang Weilan's head hurt even more, and she was so desperate to be twittered that she couldn't stand it.

"Okay, got it." Zhang Weilan murmured twice, and hung up the phone before Zhang Yanhuan howled again.

At this moment, the land under Zhang Weilan's wheel is his hometown where he grew up. It is a little far away from the city where he currently lives and works, more than 2000 kilometers away.

And the so-called "hometown" is just an empty shell description for Zhang Weilan.

In recent years, Zhang Weilan has returned to her "hometown" several times.Several times, he experienced the cruelty of "time has changed".

The school buildings were refurbished, the houses in the old town were scrapped and rebuilt, and all the old bricks and tiles were discarded.The earth veins are distorted by the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow, and the pattern is subverted.Gone along with the scrappy old street.The aroma of egg pancakes, the heat of roasted sweet potatoes, the glowing hawthorn red of candied haws, the crystal-clear icing in the sun...all gone.

He has no relatives here, let alone a home.

Like aging skin that eventually peels off.Time and space have changed step by step, buried in the vastness of the world anyway, dead, emptied, and no bones left.

Although everything has long since disappeared, and Zhang Weilan still wants to come back.Especially in the past two years, he would come back whenever he was free, and would celebrate the New Year here alone.

Zhang Weilan will find a hotel to stay in, and wander around the streets of his "hometown" that he is not familiar with.

Zhang Weilan understands where her crux lies.He is always clinging to an illusory destination.Perhaps, he was begging to meet that mirage.

Zhang Weilan closed his eyes and then opened them again, his vision had an illusion, and his surroundings were spinning for a while.The roof of the car seemed to have just been stepped on by his feet for two seconds.

Zhang Weilan discovered that he was probably ill.His baby sister really has a lively and lovely crow's mouth.

He reached out and touched his head, in vain. ——If you have a fever, your whole body must be hot. Can you feel a bird feather?

He picked up another bottle of mineral water from his hand, unscrewed it and took a sip.

The cold, tasteless liquid slid down his throat, comforting him a little.

There is a small single-family building directly to the right of Zhang Weilan's parking lot, with a flowery "Bar" painted on the wall.

Zhang Weilan also saw the sign: "Azure."

Azure, Azure.

Zhang Weilan's heart skipped a beat.The name of the store coincided with his name, if he wasn't so uncomfortable that he wanted to hang himself, he would definitely get off the car and go in to have a look.

But forget it.He couldn't take on the big responsibility with his sick body, so he had to go back to the hotel first.

Zhang Weilan screwed on the cap of the mineral water, and then drove away. Unfortunately, before driving 200 meters, there was a sudden colic in her stomach, which caused Zhang Weilan's eyes to turn black.

Zhang Weilan quickly stepped on the brakes again.His car can't start today.He didn't try his best because he was afraid of crashing.

Zhang Weilan clutched her unlucky stomach and lay down on the steering wheel.

If Zhang Yanhuan saw this sad scene, he would definitely scold him: "Why do you drink cold water if you have a bad stomach?"

Zhang Weilan remained as a corpse for a few minutes, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He was in pain when a big snow-white Harley suddenly turned around.The person on the motorcycle was wearing a short pure white padded jacket, with long legs spread out, and was swaggering through the city against the wind.

Harley stopped at Zhang Weilan's car door.It didn't stop because of anything else, but because Zhang Weilan's jeep was blind, and it happened to cut across the exit of the trail, blocking its way.

Zhong Ning originally wanted to sit on the Harley and raise his head to scold his father elegantly, but when he glanced around, he saw that the driver's seat was actually hanging on the steering wheel, as if he was dying, or dying soon.

Zhong Ning had no choice but to condescend to get off the ground, took off his helmet, went around and knocked on the car window of the other party: "Hey, are you okay? Wake up, are you okay?"

When Zhang Weilan heard someone calling him, she barely raised her pale face.Then, there was a sudden violent tumbling in his stomach, and the pain was unbearable.

Through the car window, Zhang Weilan couldn't look away from the face opposite for a long time.

What a coincidence.A mirage appeared.

……

Ten minutes later, Zhong Ning sat in the driver's seat of the Audi Q10 and drove.Zhang Weilan was sitting in the co-pilot, clutching her stomach, her head was so heavy that her neck was almost crushed.To prevent a broken neck, Zhang Weilan rested her head on the window of the car, and at the same time opened her eyelids, staring at Zhong Ning like dead eyes.

This scene is extremely dramatic.Find someone funny, and hum a scherzo in a poor-tongued yin and yang tune, just to chime in.

Even if Zhong Ning was beaten to death, he would never have thought of it.What happened to him today, apart from sleeping until noon, getting dizzy, knocking his feet on the door frame of the toilet when he went to the toilet, he also picked up a half-dead old friend on the way to his bar on the way to the pub.

Speaking of Zhang Weilan, at a certain time, he was the closest person to Zhong Ning.They grew up in the same yard, fought in a mud pit, and were sensible in a classroom... They stomped each other's feet, dug each other's hearts, and there were too many bad things. They exchanged love, shared joy and sorrow, and splashed each other The monstrous anger on the face...

They are closest together when they are together and most apart when apart.

Zhong Ning thought from the bottom of his heart that both he and Zhang Weilan were hysterical in their love and hatred, and the ending should be "the old and dead do not communicate with each other" and "the souls are scattered in the rivers and lakes".

However, the years have sharpened the knife, and the knife is raised and lowered, and it is difficult to cut off the water when the knife is drawn.The situation in the rivers and lakes is changing, and they met again before they died of old age.

——In the vast world, the enemy's road is narrow.

"He hasn't changed at all." The moment Zhong Ning saw the person, his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were shaken, and he came up with his first thought.

A second later, he thought again: "It's still changed."

"You have a stomachache and a fever. Is it really okay if you don't go to the hospital?" Zhong Ning stared straight ahead, somewhat stiff.

Zhang Weilan was stunned for a while before saying: "It's okay, it's not serious, and it's much better now. Just take me back to the hotel, I have medicine."

Zhang Weilan: "It didn't delay you, did it? Your motorcycle is parked by the side of the road."

"It's okay. I'm just going out for a stroll today. I don't have anything serious to do, so don't delay." Zhong Ning said.

He wasn't lying when he said that. Azure has Xu Huai's reliable help to take care of it. As the boss, Zhong Ning is used to throwing hands at the shopkeeper.

Unceremoniously thinking about it: "When did Zhang Weilan come back?"

How did he come back?Didn't he say "I will never come back for the rest of my life" back then?

But Zhang Weilan lives in a hotel, so it should be because she just came back and hasn't settled down yet?Or is there any reason to come back temporarily for a few days?

Zhong Ning: "Are you staying in a hotel?"

Zhang Weilan's eyes moved, and he said "hmm".

Zhong Ning: "..."

Zhong Ning found that he couldn't ask any more questions.Time is a destroyer, and he couldn't even find a familiar and natural tone to face an old man.

Zhong Ning finally glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw Zhang Weilan frowning.

This man was so ill that he dared to drag the jeep into the street alone.

But Zhang Weilan was like this before.He is very polarized, and it is a miracle that his life is not broken.He doesn't care, or he is steady, even if he stands on a high stool with ten dishes on his head, he can remain motionless as if performing acrobatics.But if he pokes the basket, he will definitely pierce the bottomless pit, and fall into the [-]th hell to enjoy the benefits.

— It seems that it has not changed.

Zhong Ning didn't say anything along the way, Zhang Weilan felt uncomfortable all over, and didn't say anything.In the gloomy daytime, even ghosts dare not get into the car to burp.

No one uttered another word until they reached the hotel entrance.

"Then I'm leaving." Zhong Ning and Zhang Weilan looked away when they looked at each other, as if their eyes were on fire.

Zhang Weilan's stomach hurt so badly, he thought: "Do you still hate me that much? You don't even care to look at me."

Zhang Weilan finally said the polite words that should be said when they meet again: "Leave a phone call. Thanks to you today. I haven't seen you for a long time. I will treat you to dinner next time."

"...Okay." Zhong Ning, with the "adult" "polite" on his face, took out his mobile phone and exchanged contact information with Zhang Weilan.

After saving the phone number, Zhong Ning frowned slightly and said, "You should rest more if you are sick. If you really can't do it, go to the hospital. Go in quickly."

He almost asked Zhang Weilan: "Who will take care of you?"

But it has nothing to do with him.

Zhong Ning paused for a moment, turned around and left, without even saying "I'll contact you next time".

Zhang Weilan's stomach convulsed again, his face turned paler, and he bent over in pain.The air today is extremely cold, and the surroundings are like a zero-degree iron pan tormenting large ice cubes.

"I was wrong. I will never leave again." Zhang Weilan said in her heart, "Turn around and let me take another look. Please. Just take one more look, and I will be content to die."
