Grocery Store No.514

"Buzzing", the sound of the phone vibrating came, attracting everyone's attention, Ling Huaan walked to Jiang Chengyan's bed, picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, then answered the call.

"Hey, Captain, a fire broke out in Xiaohu Zhuang yesterday, and a large number of corpses were found under a big locust tree. The bureau attaches great importance to it and asks everyone from our criminal investigation team to appear on the scene." Come to Li Tong's voice.

"Team Jiang..."

Without waiting for Ling Huaan to speak, Jiang Chengyan sat up and said lightly, "Give it to me."

Looking at Jiang Chengyan's haggard face, Ling Huaan felt a little nervous and said, "Li Tong, your Jiang team passed out in the hospital. He needs to rest now."

Seeing Ling Huaan hanging up the phone, Jiang Chengyan suddenly felt very aggrieved and said loudly: "Ling Huaan, why do you answer my call? Why do you say what you say? , if you say break up, break up, why!"

Remembering the heartless words Ling Huaan had said before, Jiang Chengyan cried out again in desperation, got out of bed in embarrassment, turned around and walked out.

Ling Huaan stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Chengyan's wrist, turned to look at Hua Ting, and said, "Second uncle, I'll deal with it, please take care of grandpa."

Ling Huaan took Jiang Chengyan and walked out, Jiang Chengyan struggled and said, "Let go!"

Ling Huaan stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from Jiang Chengyan's face, and said distressedly, "Be good, don't make trouble, I'll explain it to you later."

Seeing the emotions in Ling Hua'an's eyes, Jiang Chengyan's breathing stagnated, he turned his head away, and did not struggle any more, letting him pull himself forward. A familiar warmth came from his fingers, Jiang Chengyan followed Ling Huaan step by step, looking at the man he loved so much, the man he had been chasing, the man he never wanted to let go. The unsatisfactory tears poured out of my eyes again, one after another, and they couldn't stop.

Jiang Chengyan turned his head to look at the empty ward, pulled Ling Huaan in with force, closed the door and locked it, Jiang Chengyan kissed Ling Huaan on the lips regardless. Without skill or tenderness, Jiang Chengyan's eager kiss quickly filled their mouths with a **** smell. Ling Huaan held his face, gently soothed his anxiety, slowly brought everything back on track, and deepened the kiss.

After a long time, the two separated, Ling Huaan looked at Jiang Chengyan, kissed the tears on his face, and said, "Chengyan, I'm sorry, I still hurt you."

Jiang Chengyan's heart tightened, and he said anxiously, "What does 'sorry' mean? Ling Huaan, let me tell you, I don't agree, I will never break up with you, no matter how much you say use!"

Ling Huaan hugged Jiang Chengyan tightly and said comfortably, "I didn't say I wanted to break up with you. That's not me, Chengyan, can't you feel it? That's not me."

"Isn't it you?" Those cold eyes reappeared in his mind, Jiang Chengyan pulled the distance between the two and looked into his eyes seriously, where Jiang Chengyan saw his feelings for himself, Completely different eyes from before. Jiang Chengyan hugged Ling Huaan tightly, crying and laughing, murmured, "Huaan, Huaan, my Huaan is back..."

Jiang Chengyan let go of Ling Huaan and pulled him out eagerly.

Ling Huaan was staggered by him and asked helplessly, "Chengyan, where are we going?"

Jiang Chengyan didn't speak, just walked forward with his head sullen, holding Ling Huaan's hand tightly, he didn't dare to relax for a moment. After walking around the hospital, he found a hotel that looked good. Jiang Chengyan took Ling Huaan and walked in, opened the room to get the key card, closed the door and locked it. Jiang Chengyan took off his shirt, opened the zipper, and kissed Ling. Hua An's lips, said: "Hua An, want me."

Ling Huaan hugged Jiang Chengyan tightly and said distressedly: "Chengyan, don't do this, you just woke up and your body is very weak..."

He widened his eyes and looked into Ling Huaan's eyes.

Ling Huaan kissed Jiang Chengyan's lips, if this gave him a sense of security, then there was no need to say anything else.

…

"Huan, do you love me?"

"Love."

"Never break up, okay?"

Ling Huaan's movements stopped, his heart ached and he opened his mouth but said nothing.

As if she had a premonition, Jiang Chengyan's tears poured out of his eyes again, but he raised his lips and looked at Ling Huaan and smiled, but the smile was too bitter and astringent, and Ling Huaan's eyes were red when he saw it.

…

After coming out of the hotel, the two had a tacit understanding and did not say much. Jiang Chengyan returned to the police force, while Ling Huaan returned to the hospital.

"Huan, are you and Xiaojiang okay?" Hu Ting asked with concern.

Ling Huaan shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay. Grandpa, don't worry, everything is a misunderstanding, the police force is busy, he went back, let me say sorry to you."

"It's fine. Xiao Jiang is a good boy, it's not easy for you to be together, you should cherish it."

"I know. How are you feeling, Grandpa? Is there anything else you're uncomfortable with?"

"A Mian said that he didn't hurt his muscles or bones, just a little bit of skin was broken and blood was shed, so it's not in the way."

"Grandpa, what do you want to eat, let me buy it for you?"

"A Qing went to buy porridge just now. After drinking a little, she didn't have any appetite, but she was a little sleepy. Hua An, you and A Mian will pick up A Zhen at the airport later."

"Okay, grandpa, go to sleep when you are tired, and leave the third uncle to us."

When it was nearly five o'clock, Hua Mian drove Ling Huaan to the airport.

"Second uncle, what kind of person is the third uncle?" Ling Huaan found a topic at will.

"Azhen was the most cheerful of the three brothers before, but thinking about Aqing's temperament now, he is somewhat similar to Azhen. He has the best relationship with his eldest brother, even It's better than the father-son relationship with the old man, otherwise he wouldn't run away with anger. It has been more than 20 years since he left, and the death of his eldest brother has made him feel resentful. I hope this time when I come back, I can untie the knot in his heart. "

"Have you and Uncle San always kept in touch?"

"For more than 20 years, the number of times we have contacted is also very few. He has been walking non-stop, country after country, the contact information often changes, it is difficult to find him, he It has only stopped in the past two years, and our contact is more frequent."

"The third uncle has been to many places over the years."

"That's right, every year I receive postcards from him. Behind each postcard is a picture of the most beautiful scenery in this country. I have accumulated several drawers there. ."

"Send postcards?" Ling Huaan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that in this day and age, people still use such an ancient method.

"Well, he said handwritten text has more emotion than typed text."

"Uncle San is really a very emotional person."

"This time your grandfather is injured, let us be alert, it turns out that he is not the one who can support the entire Hua family, and let us reflect, all these years we have only asked him, and I'm ashamed that I didn't pay!"

"My grandpa was injured this time..."

Hua Mian interrupted Jiang Chengyan's words and said, "Huaan, I don't mean to blame you, don't think wildly. Speaking of which, Hao Man's affairs should be handled by our elders, but in the end it falls. With you, you can achieve this step, which is already much better than those of us."

"Second uncle, this is what I should do. Fortunately, Hao Man is dead. Even if there are still people in the Hao family, it should not be a climate." Ling Huaan pondered for a while, and said, "But two Uncle, we are a Xuanmen family after all, so we can't forget our roots, it's better to let the family's children have more contact, if one day the Hao family really comes back, we also have the strength to deal with it."

"This has been taken into consideration by us. When the old man returns, we will discuss with other families how to proceed. You can rest assured that there will be changes in the future, and you will not be left to face it alone."

Ling Huaan is running out of time, he will not be involved in the future, all he can do is remind them not to forget Ben.

The car was parked in the parking lot, Ling Huaan and Hua Mian got out of the car one after another and went to the exit together to wait. About fifteen minutes later, Hua Zhen came from afar, Hua Mian recognized it at a glance, waved his hand excitedly, and called Hua Zhen's name.

Hua Zhen heard Hua Mian's cry and looked over. When she came into contact with Ling Huaan, she couldn't help but stop, but she quickly recovered and accelerated.

Hua Zhen and Hua Mian don't look alike, Hua Mian has soft edges and corners, giving people a very gentle feeling, not aggressive. Hua Zhen, on the other hand, has sharp edges and corners, thick eyebrows and big eyes, coupled with his wheat-colored skin, he has the feeling of a tough guy.

Hua Zhen took three or two steps forward and hugged Ling Huaan. Ling Huaan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, patted him on the back, and said, "Third Uncle."

Hua Zhen's eyes blushed, she let go of Ling Huaan, and said, "Huaan, he's grown so big, he really looks like your father, I was a little dazed just now, thinking that I saw my big brother. ."

"Uncle, I'll help you with your luggage."

Ling Huaan wanted to take the luggage, but Hua Zhen avoided him and said, "I heard your second uncle tell me about you, you are inconvenient to move, so I will take the luggage. "

"Because of Hao Man's matter, Yan Jun Kaien, my eyes have recovered for a while, but I don't know when they will return to their original state. In order to avoid the trouble of explaining, so I still open my eyes in front of others. Acting as a blind man," Ling Huaan explained.

"So that's the case, can your eyes be completely healed?"

"No, this is the price of the Duling people, no one can be an exception." Speaking of which, something flashed in Ling Huaan's head, and he was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, but Nothing was caught.

Hua Zhen patted Ling Huaan on the shoulder and said guiltily, "It's our fault, the third uncle will make up for you in the future."

Hua Mian said happily, "So, you won't leave when you come back this time?"

Hua Zhen nodded and said, "If you don't leave, just stay in Huacheng and help Huaan see the shop."

"Great, if the old man hears it, he must be very happy."

Hua Zhen did not speak, complex emotions flashed on his face.

Ling Huaan smiled and said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, let's go to the hospital first, Grandpa is still waiting."

After the three got into the car, they chatted one after another. Ling Huaan clearly felt that Hua Zhen was absent-minded. Looking at his hands clasped subconsciously, he understood the complicated emotions in his heart.

"Third uncle, my father's death was not an accident, it was caused by Hao Man. And my grandfather didn't recognize me all these years, but it was also to protect me. Everyone was wrong in those days, and I can't blame grandpa entirely. ."

Seeing that Hua Zhen was silent, Ling Huaan and Hua Mian looked at each other, and then said, "Third uncle, grandpa is already eighty years old, and this time he was injured not too lightly, his body is definitely not as good as before, you …”

Hua Zhen smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, I've already figured it out, or I won't come back. Seriously, I haven't done a day of filial piety all these years, and I'm sorry for him. ."

Ling Huaan and Hua Mian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Hua Zhen said.

The three came to the ward, Hua Qing and Hua Cheng were guarding the bedside. Seeing Hua Mian and the others coming in, they quickly stood up. Just as they were about to speak, they saw Hua Mian make a mute gesture. They looked at Hua Zhen who came in curiously, and stood by quietly.

Hua Zhen walked to the hospital bed and looked at Hua Ting sleeping on the bed, his eyes couldn't help but pantothenic acid. The strong man lay quietly on the hospital bed, his head was full of white hair and wrinkles all over his head, and he had long since lost his arrogance.

Hua Zhen sat by the window, held Hua Ting's hand, looked at the age spots on his hand, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Hua Ting opened his eyes, turned to look at Hua Zhen beside the bed, and whispered, "Azhen..."

Hua Zhen seemed to be caught, subconsciously let go of Hua Ting's hand, turned his back in a panic and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Ah Zhen, is it really you? I'm not dreaming."

A simple sentence made Hua Zhen cry again. He stood up in embarrassment and said, "I... I'm hungry, go buy something to eat, are you hungry?"

Hua Ting also followed with red eyes and said, "I want to eat tofu brain, put more beans and pickles."

"Yes." Hua Zhen responded and walked out of the ward quickly.

Ling Huaan smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to see the third uncle, don't worry."

"Don't worry, come back soon." Hua Ting wiped the corners of his eyes, his eyes filled with suppressed emotions.

After all, they are father and son, broken bones and tendons, how could they really be indifferent.

Seeing that Huazhen calmed down, Ling Huaan opened the door and walked in, saying, "Third uncle, I'm quite familiar with this neighborhood, there is a shop with good tofu brains, I'll take you there. "

Hua Zhen knew he was following, but he kept standing at the door, just because he didn't want him to feel embarrassed, it's really hard not to make people feel good about this kind of care, plus Hua Zhen is right Ling Huaan felt guilty again, and he became more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, let's go, just in time for our uncle and nephew to have a good chat."

The two walked while chatting, and soon left the hospital. Huazhen was always asking, and Ling Huaan answered.

Hua Zhen sighed and said, "I really should have taken you away back then, at least I didn't have to suffer so much."

, I heard from the second uncle that you have been traveling abroad for all these years, been to many places, and seen many people and things, why didn't you find a third aunt to come back?"

"I found it." Huazhen took out a necklace from the placket, opened the pendant on it, and revealed two small photos, one of Huazhen and the other of a woman.

Ling Huaan took a closer look and said, "Aunt San is so beautiful, why didn't you come back with Uncle San?"

"She died. She had an accident while climbing a mountain two years ago. To save me, she fell into a cliff." Hua Zhen closed the photo and put it back.

Ling Huaan was startled and said, "Uncle Third, I'm sorry, I don't know..."

"It doesn't matter. We are all people in Xuanmen, and we all understand that death is not the end, she will have a new life, and the end is only the fate with me."

Although Huazhen's tone was calm, Ling Huaan could still hear the taste, thinking of the pain Jiang Chengyan would endure when he left, Ling Huaan would feel a burst of heartache.

Hua Zhen saw Ling Huaan stop and asked aloud, "Is this the one?"

Ling Huaan turned around, looked at the sign above his head, and said, "It's the one next door."

The two walked into the store one after another and found a seat by the window to sit down.

The waiter in the store greeted quickly: "Welcome, you two want to eat something, you can scan the code to order."

Ling Huaan took out his mobile phone, scanned the code, handed it to Hua Zhen, and said, "The food here is delicious. Third uncle, let's see what you like to eat."

Hua Zhen took over the phone, looked at it and said, "Your second uncle said that your cooking skills are excellent. If it wasn't out of date today, I would really like to try your skills. But there will be time in the future. ,Not urgent."

"I'll make it for my third uncle when I have time." Ling Huaan lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in his eyes.

"Two bowls of tofu nao are packed, one bowl of multi-sided beans and pickles, and the other bowl with only beans and no pickles." Hua Zhen looked at the menu and only ordered two bowls of tofu nao.

"Okay, you can place an order directly, and I'll let the kitchen serve it for you."

Hua Zhen handed the phone to Ling Huaan and said, "Your grandpa didn't like tofu nao before, he was talking about your dad's taste."

Ling Huaan was startled for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"People often say that 'the country is easy to change and disposition is difficult to change', but he eats things he doesn't like every day, sticks to the habit of never touching it before, and he does it for most of his life." Hua I was really talking with red eyes.

“How do these uncles know?”

, I didn't even take a look at you, I ran away, and I still ran away for more than 20 years."

"Third uncle, it's really not easy for grandpa to support the Hua family all his life. Since you're back, please accompany him well. The old man not only hurt his body this time, but also uncle Zhang's death. his heart."

"Well." Although I figured it out, the separation of these years has made the relationship between father and son a lot unfamiliar, and Hua Zhen doesn't know how to get along with Hua Ting.

Ling Huaan naturally understood his feelings, just like when he first met Hua Ting, he said: "Third uncle, grandpa is the most stubborn and soft-hearted, as long as you tell him well, he will not promised."

"Okay." Hua Zhen changed the subject uncomfortably and said, "Listen to your second uncle, you have a partner now, let us meet when you are free."

"Did the second uncle say that my partner is a man?"

"I said it." Hua Zhen poured a glass of water, took a few sips, and said with a smile, "I'm not an antique, your grandfather can accept it, why can't I accept it?"

Ling Huaan smiled knowingly, chatting with Huazhen is a very enjoyable thing, it can make people's impetuous heart calm.

"Before grandpa returns to Pingcheng, let's get together."

"Back to Pingcheng? Isn't it bad to be here, the family finally got together."

"Grandpa is injured, so it's better to go back to Pingcheng to cultivate. After all, it is where he has lived for decades, not to mention that Huacheng is not very peaceful now."

"Then I'll stay here to help you."

Ling Huaan shook his head and said with a smile, "No, third uncle, grandpa needs you more. As long as you are safe, I will have no worries."

Hua Zhen thought about it and said, "Well, I will send the old man back to Pingcheng to settle down. When he is almost finished, I will come back."

"Alright." Ling Huaan didn't refuse anymore, maybe he was no longer him at that time.

"You two, your bean curd has been packed."

The two walked to the hospital with the bean curd brain. Huazhen walked very slowly, Ling Huaan did not rush him, and followed him quietly. How to get along with Hua Ting. But this kind of thing can't be helped by others, they can only open their hearts.

It was not a long way to go, even if they walked slowly, ten minutes would be enough for them to come to the door of the ward. Hua Zhen took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in, casually putting the tofu brain on the cabinet in front of the hospital bed.

Hua Mian smiled and said, "Dad, I'll take my two children to eat something."

Hua Ting nodded and said, "Go."

Hua Mian looked at Hua Zhen and said, "Azhen, Dad will take care of you."

Hua Zhen replied vaguely, still busy in his hands.

Hua Mian looked at Hua Zhen, smiled at Ling Huaan, and took Hua Qing and Hua Cheng out of the ward.

Hua Zhen opened the lunch box, picked up the spoon and tasted it, stood up and shook the bed of Hu Ting, and put an extra pillow behind Hu Ting, and then sat down , scooped a spoonful of bean curd brain and handed it to Hua Ting's mouth. Hua Ting did not speak, but opened his mouth and ate the tofu brain. In this way, one person feeds, one person eats, the two of them never speak, their eyes are flushed, and the tears are swirling in their eyes, but they try not to flow down, which makes Ling Huaan uncomfortable.

"Are you still going?" Hu Ting finally couldn't help but ask.

Hua Zhen, who was packing her things, made a move and said, "Don't go."

"Okay, okay..." Hua Ting turned his head, and couldn't hold back the tears.

Ling Huaan took a tissue, wiped the corners of Hua Ting's eyes, and said, "Grandpa, how old are you, why are you still crying?"

"Who cried, I... just lost my eyes, you stinky boy, just to entertain me." And. hee. Huh. right.

"I dare not, how dare I, you are right, the wind is too strong, and my eyes are lost."

"You stinky brat!" Hua Ting was amused by Ling Hua'an, so he dispelled the pent-up emotions in his heart and felt more comfortable. Although he has always been very calm, Zhang Kui's death hit him hard.

"Grandpa, the third uncle is back, and our family will be neat and tidy. You have to live a long life, and we can follow the blessing."

Hua Ting looked at Hua Zhen and said with relief, "Okay, okay."

It was three days in a flash. Because the bones under the big locust tree in Xiaohuzhuang were exposed, Jiang Chengyan, who was already very busy, was even more busy. The first time he and Huazhen met was in the hospital. Hua Ting lay in the hospital for three days before being sent back to Pingcheng by Hua Mian and Hua Zhen. Originally, Huating was supposed to stay in Huacheng for investigation, but whether it was a forensic doctor, a trace examination, or eyewitnesses, they all proved that Huating was the victim. In addition, Huating was now 80 years old. A certificate was issued, so after negotiation, the police agreed that Hua Ting would return to Pingcheng, but he had to be monitored by the Pingcheng police. And Zhang Kui's body still needs to cooperate with the investigation, so he temporarily stayed in Hwaseong.

After coming out of the hotel that day, the two of them were busy as usual, as if nothing had happened. The only change was that Jiang Chengyan would linger with Ling Huaan every day, no matter how late he came back. , until exhausted and have no extra strength to cranky. Ling Huaan understood his unease and cooperated with all his might. In order to prevent Jiang Chengyan from hurting his body, Ling Huaan also used the ability of the bite to improve his physique afterwards.

For three days, the entire Hwaseong police force was busy in Xiaohu Village. Hundreds of bones could not be excavated in a day or two. In order to preserve the evidence and for the integrity of the bones, their excavation speed was very slow. Even if the forensic doctor in Linshi was dispatched, it was a big project.

"It's dinner, it's dinner, everyone take a break."
