Chapter 36
Chapter 36
On the morning of the third day, Chu Lie coaxed his grandfather to go to the town hospital for blood tests and on the way home. When they passed Liuxin Lake outside the ancient town in a taxi, Grandpa Chu saw it first.
"Hey, isn't the one fishing over there Xiao Qin?"
Chu Lie turned his face, the taxi just passed a big tree, the tree trunk blocked his sight.
"Grandpa, you read it wrong, it's just that the back is more similar." Chu Lie looked away, and patted the back of his grandfather's hand with exposed veins: "Boss Qin has gone back, and the company has a lot of trouble."
"Oh." Changing the angle, the old man couldn't see it anymore, but he didn't suspect it: "It really looks like him. Xiao Qin is a nice guy. He is a courageous person who can do great things."
Chu Lie was a little lost in thought, the sunlight outside the window just came in and reflected on his smooth side face, showing every detail.
............................................................
"I don't have any ulterior motives, really, Chu Lie." Qin Long looked at the young man standing beside him, and leaned slightly to pick up the saddle he was sitting on and handed it over: "Sit down, I'm planning to go back in a while. You Helping me find this resort is pretty good, it’s rare to feel very relaxed, I want to stay for a few more days, go fishing, take a walk, and let myself have a rest. You don’t have to worry about me, just go home and accompany your grandpa.”
"I didn't say you..." Chu Lie was a little embarrassed, swallowed the words "unpredictable", and then waved his hand to reject the opponent's little Maza: "I'll just stand for a while, you sit, how can you squat fishing."
"I can still fish on my stomach when necessary." Qin Long laughed.The hearty laughter made Chu Lie feel dazed for a while, vaguely remembering that when the company had just started up and he was worried that there would be no orders and no business, Qin Long laughed like this.It's as if it's really no big deal, and he's tall enough to stand up to the sky falling.
The red and white float suddenly sank, and Chu Lie subconsciously blurted out: "There are fish!"
Qin Long grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it up without hesitation.A palm-sized crucian carp flicked its tail, disturbing the surrounding water.
The crucian carp landed in the grass on the shore, bouncing up and down, trying to escape back into the water and return to freedom by itself.
The man held down the crucian carp easily with his big and powerful hand, pinched the mouth of the fish with the other hand, and carefully unhooked the fishhook.
A trace of blood hangs from the hook, Qin Long grabs the fish and throws it into the plastic bucket next to it, the crucian carp flicks its tail and dives directly to the bottom.
Chu Lie has been staring at the rippling water in a daze, his mind is a little empty, and he sympathizes with that fish somehow.
Got caught and can't escape anymore.
"Forget it, stop fishing." Qin Long began to pack his fishing tackle: "It's getting late, do you want to go to my place for a cup of tea? Then we can find a restaurant to drink fish soup together at noon?"
"My grandfather is at home alone." Chu Lie licked his lower lip, upset.
"It's okay, that's all I'll say." Qin Long waved his hands indifferently: "Go back and work on your grandfather, and leave me alone."
"I'll settle my grandfather's lunch first." Chu Lie didn't raise his eyes to look at Qin Long, and casually pointed to the bucket containing the fish: "It may be later."
"I ate breakfast late." Qin Long was very happy: "There is no rush, come over after you finish your work."
When Chu Lie opened the door of the house, he was still thinking, why did he say that sentence by accident?If he doesn't go, he won't go. He's bored and naturally returns to City A. What does he do?
Grandpa Chu dozed off on the chair he used to sit on, with his leg in plaster resting on the low stool, and at his hand was a radio that had almost been eliminated by the times, singing Huangmei Opera babbling in it.
"...I have also been to the Qionglin Banquet, and I have also been in front of Ma Yujie. Everyone praised me for my appearance. , for the affectionate Mr. Li..."
Chu Lie was almost stunned, and after a while, he walked slowly and squatted down, leaning his forehead on Grandpa's lap very lightly, and didn't move for a long time.
............................................................
Lunch was finally eaten at the restaurant downstairs of the resort hotel.
It was past one o'clock, and there were hardly any customers in the restaurant. The two sat by the window, and on the plaid-covered table were four dishes and one soup, as well as local snacks such as fermented rice cakes.
In such township hotels, the dishes prepared are not as exquisite as those in big cities in terms of presentation and color.But the advantage is that the ingredients are fresh and natural, with a special flavor.
Qin Long scooped up a bowl of milky white fish soup for Chu Lie, with great interest: "Just now the waiter told me that the fish in Liuxin Lake are wild fish, it seems that today is a lucky day. Drink more fish soup, I've lost weight recently."
Chu Lie was a little embarrassed by what he said, and touched his nose: "No, I think it's okay."
Qin Long raised his eyes, and looked up and down the young man seriously: "Really, I lost weight. Here." The man raised his finger and pointed at his cheek: "It feels a little sunken."
This way of getting along without talking about work at all is a bit new and awkward.
Chu Lie lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, but he couldn't taste the taste. He wondered in his heart why Qin Long still refused to go back.
Very contradictory.On the one hand, he thought, Qin Long should hurry back to City A.On the other hand, he felt that it would be better for Qin Long to stay for a few more days.
"Chu Lie?" Qin Long's voice brought him back to his senses.
"Ah?" The young man raised his eyes: "What are you talking about? The fish soup is really good, you should drink some too."
"I said," Qin Long smiled slightly, and took a big sip of beer from his glass: "If it's convenient, you can be a tour guide for me in the afternoon, and let me walk around and introduce you to this small town? I'll listen to the front desk, what? Li Gongci and Zhaojiatang, some places of interest and historic sites can be visited.”
"Okay," Chu Lie agreed with a smile, "Anyway, I'm a local, so I don't need to buy a ticket."
Originally everything was fine, the atmosphere between the two was harmonious, even if it was not up to the state when they first met, it was a rare friendly and peaceful relationship in this year.
Coming out of Li Gong Temple, the two planned to take a Wupeng boat.
At this moment, Chu Lie's cell phone rang.
Chu Lie glanced at Qin Long who was at his side who was relaxed and relaxed, and took two steps away to connect the phone.
"...Well, it's okay, it's okay..." The previous remarks were no different from any greeting call, and Qin Long didn't think too much about it, and didn't deliberately prick up his ears to listen to the argument.
"No need, I'll go back in two days... really no need," Chu Lie frowned slightly, and his voice became louder unconsciously: "Just straighten out your family affairs, don't come, I'm serious. I'm fine, and my grandpa is fine too...I've asked someone to buy medicine, don't bother...Go back and make another appointment."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Lie raised his head, and just met Qin Long and looked over with a scrutinizing gaze.
Putting away the phone as if nothing had happened, Chu Lie pointed to the riverside: "Go to the boat. Let me tell you first, it's shameful enough for the locals to take a cruise, so don't talk to the boatman."
Qin Long didn't move. When Chu Lie passed him by, he stretched out his hand to hold the other's wrist. His voice was not loud but his words were clear: "Yuegou? He wants to see grandpa?"
That questioning tone made Chu Lie uncomfortable.The young man struggled for his wrist, but when he didn't, his tone became cold: "Yue is my friend after that, and it's normal for him to care about my grandpa's condition."
"Friend, yes, friend." In vain, Qin Long was praised by Grandpa Chu as mature and stable, and he was simply stuck in a knot in his heart when it came to the matter behind him, and he couldn't turn the page: "In front of your grandpa, I am also a friend .Chu Lie, do you think that there is no difference between me and Yuegou? Even I am not as good as him? You told him about your grandfather's illness?!"
"Why are you crazy?" Chu Lie was also annoyed, and pulled his wrist twice: "You let go, what does it look like like this!"
"Why am I crazy? Ha!" The man's eyes were gloomy, but there was a fire hidden in his dark eyes, unwilling to give up, and the burning became more and more intense: "Can't you break up with me? I'll be with you Said, this person has no good intentions for you."
"Is it interesting to say these words?" Chu Lie was very embarrassed, especially the boatman who was leaning on the shore had been waiting for the business to go, which almost made him angry and on the verge of exploding: "Mr. Qin, let me say it again, please don't Meddle in my private affairs."
"President Qin. Private matter." Qin Long repeated two words in a low voice, grinning, that expression that could not be called a smile fell in Chu Lie's eyes, and he felt inexplicably unbearable.
Qin Long let go of his hand, turned around and strode towards the river: "Okay, I won't interfere with your private affairs, I'll take the boat."
Chu Lie didn't move. In fact, he felt really uncomfortable right now.He didn't understand why Qin Long insisted on doing this.The good mood of the day disappeared, and the relationship that had just been repaired suddenly returned to freezing point.
The man who walked to the riverside stepped on a round stone. After staggering, he didn't fall down, but he saw his right foot twisted, and half of his well-made leather shoes were soaked in water.
Subconsciously taking a step forward, Chu Lie watched the man without turning his head, ignoring the injury of his twisted foot, and limped onto the boat.
The boatman looked at Chu Lie on the shore, bent down and listened to what the man hidden in the tent said, and Penny nodded to the shore and left.
Until he got home, Chu Lie's mind was in a mess.
It seems that I have thought a lot, but it seems that I have not thought of anything.
I'm in a bad mood.
In this mood, when Chu Lie was cooking for his grandfather at night, he lost his mind and cut his index finger while cutting the lettuce.
Looking at the bright red color on the chopping board, the young man sighed heavily and put down the kitchen knife.
In the end, it was Grandpa Chu who was worried. He would not let him use Band-Aids at home and force him to go to the health center to see if he needed stitches.
As a result, the doctor on duty at the health center saw that there was no need for stitches, and he was given a tetanus shot, and then wrapped it tightly with gauze, like a rice dumpling, and then let him go.
When he was about to leave the gate of the health center, Chu Lie always played back the scene of Qin Long twisting his foot on the bank in the afternoon in his mind. In the end, he didn't know what to think, and asked the doctor to bring him a box of Yunnan Baiyao spray. Only then did I leave.
