Barrier of Light

"Old Town, Lion Alley...it's just three streets away. You can see it within ten minutes' walk."

Crow smiled and said: "Lion Lane, have you heard of it?"

Gu Shen's mind moved and he slowly frowned.

He had actually heard of Lion Alley!

Gu Shen grew up in the corner of Qinghe District. The location was remote and the information was backward. He basically didn't know anything about the important things...but the name of Lion Lane was something he remembered.

The name of Lion Alley was broadcast on the wireless channel of the welfare home. Because the impact of the case at that time was very important, it was broadcast for several days. Gu Shen still remembers this news... A certain big shot who had just topped the list of the richest people in the metropolitan area , was assassinated in Lion's Lane.

"Ever since I was a child, winter in most cities has been very cold, and no one goes out very often, but I often hang out outside. At that time, I would always smell a very strange aroma of wine... I originally wanted to climb over the wall and sneak into the courtyard. Drinking, but ended up being caught red-handed.”

Song Ci smiled sadly and said: "That man is quite interesting. He caught the thief but he didn't get angry. He even gave me a taste... The wine was so spicy that my nose and tears came out. He laughed and scolded me. Being a coward, I took another big sip, drank it up, and lay there all night in the yard. After all, I am a stinky kid without a father and a mother, so it doesn’t matter where I sleep.”

"That man's name is Lu Cheng, I call him Lao Lu."

Song Ci's voice was hoarse: "I originally thought that guys like Lao Lu who idle around in circles in the old city all day long would be streetwalkers with no future. When they get older, they can't get a wife and can only be a homeless man... until that day. I climbed over the wall. The walls of Lion Lane were stained with blood. The scene was surrounded by hundreds of people. I saw a lot of police, doctors, and lawyers. These people were so noisy that Lao Lu just lay quietly. In the middle of those people, beneath them was a pool of blood that was spreading."

"Later... they took Lao Lu away. I saw on TV that Lao Lu was the richest person in Dadu. These people were quarreling because Lao Lu had too much money and everyone wanted to get some of it. ." Crow looked at Gu Shen and said with a smile: "Do you think... it's nonsense?"

Hidden away in the city.

Everyone has heard this sentence, but how many people can actually do it like Lu Cheng?

"After Lao Lu died, some people called me a broom star who killed my parents and neighbors." Song Ci shrugged and whispered: "They didn't say these things until Xiao Lu came. It’s not because they have good intentions and don’t want to poke people’s wounds, it’s just because Xiao Lu is so beautiful that he looks like he came from a phoenix’s nest, so they don’t dare to say bad things behind his back.”

"Xiao Lu...?"

"Actually, they don't even know shit," Song Ci sneered twice, "I called her Xiao Lu. After Lao Lu died, the yard was vacated, and she moved here by herself, so I called her Xiao Lu. Everyone. I guess she is Lao Lu’s daughter, but her temperament really doesn’t match her, so I can only guess that she is a distant relative or something like that… If you don’t believe me, ask them, who knows what Xiao Lu’s name is?”

I've asked this before...

Gu Shen whispered: "Why did Xiao Lu leave?"

"I don't know." Crow's energy suddenly collapsed, and he cried sadly: "Xiao Lu is such an unpredictable person. She comes and leaves whenever she wants. When she left, she didn't follow her. I said hello and made an appointment for the next meeting... It wasn't until Mrs. Nan Zhi picked me up that I found out that the two of them had a quarrel, and Xiao Lu left Dadu in anger, carrying his luggage, and said I’ll never come back again.”

Take a deep sip.

Crow said angrily: "Let's just go. How can you not take me with you? I can resist, fight, bend and stretch. Do you think you think I am a burden?"

Gu Shen had a complicated expression on his face, thinking, isn't it because you are so unreliable?

"Ah, woman." Song Ci waved her hand, "When she returns to Dadu, I will give her a chance to repent."

"After Lao Lu left, this was the only wine left. If Xiao Lu didn't take it away, it would be mine." He invited Gu Shen to clink glasses and asked curiously: "Gu... why do you have such a good drinker? Don’t you feel anything at all?”

"Well... I'm about to die..." Gu Shen was silent for a moment, put his forehead on his hands and asked, "Have another drink?"

"I'll beat you down tonight!" Song Ci gritted his teeth and raised a glass, "You kid, you deceived me so badly before... I dare you to run away because you really feel guilty for doing something wrong. Tell me honestly what you did. It’s a very conscientious thing!”

"Actually, I told the truth at that time..." Gu Shen clinked his glasses and smiled helplessly: "It's just that you didn't believe it."

Song Ci shook his head and supported his chin with one hand, barely keeping his head from hitting the table.

He tried hard to recall Gu Shen's explanation at that time.

After a while.

His brows were twisted into a squidward shape, and his tongue began to speak unclearly, "What you were saying was...knocked...Cui Zhongchengzhu...bar..."

"Um."

Gu Shen hummed softly.

"Wo...wo...boil it..."

Song Ci took a breath of cold air. He slowly and tactically leaned back, looked at Gu Shen in confusion, and confirmed again: "Cui Zhongcheng?"

After getting the default.

He shook his head hard to get rid of the alcohol, laughed loudly, and put his arm around Gu Shen's shoulders, "You are really good at bragging, but... I believe it!"

At this time, Song Cicai realized belatedly that Gu Shen was taking small sips at a constant speed and sipping the lion to sober up. Judging from this speed, the other party had already drank more than two or three times as much as he had.

"You were born in a wine jar?" Song Ci was anxious, and while he was conscious, he quickly protected the wine bottle, "That's it for today's drinking!"

Twenty minutes later, the two men staggered out of the alley.

To be precise, one person staggers and the other person is forced to stagger.

Gu Shen held the crow, still recalling the taste of the lion sobering up... He tasted the spiritual element in the wine, silently thinking about the "Lion Alley Case" mentioned by the crow.

Ten years ago, after Lao Lu's death, the Lu family was ruined and all the property was annexed. If I remember correctly, it was that year that the Zhao family began to awaken.

Gu Shen didn't know exactly what happened that year, but he knew that the name registered by the senior sister in the tribunal was Nan Jin.

Senior sister, she gave up the surname Lu.

Crow said that the two sisters once had a very violent quarrel. After that day, Lu Nanjin left Dadu and has never been back... This information is enough for people to speculate on something.

"Desperate Saburo is probably carrying a blood feud that cannot be resolved..."

Gu Shen whispered to himself, and then he remembered Chu Ling's words, so he whispered: "You can't harbor malice towards other people's past."

He helped the crow outside the alley. The crow vomited in a big puddle beside the grass. After vomiting, he reached out to Gu Shen for the helmet and tried his best to stuff his head in.

"Do you want to go back just like this?" Gu Shen said seriously: "In Dadu, drunk driving will have your driver's license revoked, and motorcycles are no exception."

He wasn't worried about anything happening to the crow.

"I'm not drunk..." Song Ci sighed and said with a smile: "The reason why I'm drunk is because I want to be drunk, do you understand?"

Gu Shen fell silent for a moment.

According to his intuition, what Crow said was right.

Extraordinary people, no matter what type they are, need to sharpen their mental power. When the mental power is strong enough, alcohol can no longer dissolve the will. No matter how much you drink, as long as you want to regain your consciousness, you only need to use the breathing method... In the words of Song Ci With such strength, even if he drinks the "Lion Sober Wine" which contains spiritual elements, he will never get drunk, at least he won't be so embarrassed or embarrassed.

"If I wasn't drunk, some words... I wouldn't be able to say them."

Crow held the corner of the wall and motioned for Gu Shen to stand closer.

He laughed softly and said: "You are a smart man. I just told you about the Lion Lane case. You should have guessed something..."

Gu Shen opened his mouth, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he really didn't know what to say.

"I never believed that such a coincidence would happen. How could a good person like Lao Lu provoke enemies? He has already hid in the old city and was still being targeted." Crow laughed softly: "What do you think? , who could have done it?”

Gu Shen said calmly: "You think it's Zhao."

"Not bad, not bad!" Song Ci vigorously patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and said affectionately: "As expected of Mr. Xiao Cui's favorite person... I really like him, my best friend... ah bah."

"What do you want?" Gu Shen's eyes were strange.

"Of course..." Crow stretched out a palm, lightly crossed it in front of his neck, made a gesture of making love, his eyes were blazing, and he asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

"Who do you want to kill, Zhao Qi?" Gu Shen said, "Or..."

"Aha..."

"Just a joke, just a joke." Song Ci quickly interrupted Gu Shen's words.

"Although everyone is afraid of me outside...but I'm actually very timid." Crow sighed and chuckled: "Except for my strong fists and tough life, I don't have any great advantages. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that my brain will get hot and I will do something impulsive and harm my wife. Do you know why I ran away the day I met you? "

Gu Shen waited silently for the next step.

"A man came to smash my place. I took action before he could identify himself... I swear, I only used one punch. I didn't expect that he could not resist. Half of his life was knocked into the underworld by me. I almost went to see the King of Hell.”

Crow smiled and said with some ostentation: "That person's name is Chen Jingtan, and he is Chen San's nephew."

After waiting for a long time, no words came from Gu Shen.

Crow raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Are you mute?"

"Chen San's nephew..." Gu Shen said, "So?"

"First time I heard Chen San's name?" Crow Crow was very annoyed and seemed a little discouraged.

"It's not the first time, but...how should I react when I hear his name?" Gu Shen was a little embarrassed and said, "I know that Chen San is on equal footing with the member of the Zhao family, a very powerful big shot. "

Song Ci sighed deeply and completely gave up the idea of ​​explaining to Gu Shen.

"Probably, it's very cool."

"You'll know one day when you try it... Beating a powerful man is really different from fighting in ordinary times. Under the laws, rules, and destiny of this shit, my life is a bad life, but his No. So with this punch, his pain will double your happiness. This is a pleasure that is above the rules."

Crow stretched out his fists with some excitement, clenched and unclenched them, as if recalling the feeling at that time. He stared at the rough calluses on his skin and grinned: "I have thought about it more than once...if these fists fall, What would it look like on Zhao Qi’s face?”

At this point, he couldn't help but whine again, but he had already put on his helmet, so he quickly held it in and held on to the corner of the wall, spinning around for a while.

Gu Shen sighed softly and patted his back.

At this moment——

A block away, about a few hundred meters away, several people slowly walked out of the long alley.

The leader accidentally glanced when he was walking out of the alley and saw the two people at the corner of the street.

He paused for a moment.

The man wearing the helmet looked vaguely familiar, but after just one glance, he looked away.

The cowboy carrying the big shotgun also followed his gaze. He silently held the handle of the gun and asked softly: "Mr. Zhao?"

"It's nothing...just two drunken wild dogs. There's no need to waste time."

Zhao Qi spoke softly. He suddenly frowned, stretched out his palm, and wiped his cheeks that were supposed to be white and dirty. His palm was stained with dirt, which must have been contracted in an abandoned factory.

He silently stared at the dirt on his palms and said softly: "There are too many dirty things in the old city..."
