Abyss Express

Jiang Xueming said nothing——

——In the face of Brother Ye Bei's question, this situation has actually happened many times.

In the sad place of Hengyin City, Xue Ming had contacted more than twenty orphaned families. Ye Bei would ask Xue Ming to identify relatives every time, but in the end it was nothing.

In fact, Jiang Xueming already knew in his heart that when his adoptive parents were still alive, he knew that these two were definitely not his biological parents, but there was no evidence and no chance.

Rather than saying that the process of recognizing relatives is a kind of blood coupling and reorganization, it is better to say that Xue Ming just wants to find a legitimate reason to take his sister away and leave that terrible family.

He doesn't care about the names of his biological parents, and the process of recognizing relatives is even more uneventful.

The memory before the age of four has faded to the point that it is almost impossible to distinguish what he thought, saw and heard when he was a child.

There is only a vague shadow of a mother, and occasionally it can overlap with the figure of Jiang's old mother in front of the kitchen counter, when she is busy watching the crib, making him mistakenly think that it is the real mother.

Just imagine, getting in touch with more than 20 families and more than 30 strangers, talking about life memories and childhood experiences, these processes make Xueming feel very strange.

If you were a more cold-blooded and ruthless social person, you might avoid this kind of recognition ceremony.

Because both have their own lives, and the two have shaped different selves during the journey.

Suddenly at a dinner table or a tea party, all the memories of the previous ten or twenty years will be overthrown, and all the self will be transformed. In fact, it is very scary and difficult for people to accept.

When Xueming came into contact with these families, he felt inexplicably anxious.

He hoped that these broken families could be re-integrated, and he hoped that they could take their time, because such a drastic change in reunion, such a violent and sudden combination, requires the child to adapt to the new parents, and the parents to adapt to the new child. Forcibly merging their lives into one family in a very short period of time is a secondary injury to both parties.

Brother Ye Bei has always said to Xueming, "Take it slow, it will be faster", not only that Xueming hurts people when he strikes, and the fierceness that sees blood can leave a lifetime of scars, but also how he resists nervousness and inexplicable expectations when contacting these families. Duality.

Hengyin City shaped Xueming. Without this place, there would be no Jiang Xueming.

If the Jiang family had been more ruthless to the traffickers, thinking that Xueming was too big to raise well, they would have killed the child and buried the body instead of raising him, and he would not be where he is today.

If the economic level of Hengyin City is very good, they can live a good life by eating and receiving subsistence allowances, and they won't have the iron-cast personality of this lone wolf.

If Brother Ye Bei hadn't met Xueming, he might still be working in the battery factory, or he might have drank Bailu's wedding wine and eaten a bite of Bailu's human flesh. become another criminal.

Suffering itself is meaningless, and any unilateral violence and the pain it brings will not do any good.

But Xue Ming has been boxing with these things for eighteen years, and after countless rounds, he has achieved today's fortune.

In this place, countless people have intersected with Xue Ming, there are good people or bad people, and more are ordinary people, people who are struggling with him in the troubled times.

For her biological parents, Xue Ming no longer cared that much, or rather didn't care that much.

He didn't care so much about where he came from, and didn't care so much about where he and Bai Lu were going back.

All he can grasp is the present moment, the real world of every minute and every second.

He has rehearsed similar scenes countless times in his mind, no matter whether he is rich or not, no matter how ugly and handsome, no matter how middle-aged or old.

If one day, his biological parents really found him.

Xue Ming should be able to use his usual business fake smile skills, work very hard to mobilize his emotions, and love and hate with his blood-related parents, crying and laughing.

But a few days of gathering, a few days of reunion.

A hundred hours of tenderness at most, a hundred hours of conversation at most.

There is only so much time he can give.

There is only so much affection he can give.

Immediately afterwards, there are still days to live, a station to go, and a younger sister to take care of.

Big Brother Ye Bei, Xiao Qi, Meteor, Boss.

These people are more important than his biological parents and almost occupy his entire life.

Those more than ten years of searching for relatives were like a naive and romantic unrequited love. If Xue Ming's biological parents found him—maybe they would find that their son already had someone else in his heart.

There are other partners who are more important, closer, and many times stronger than the blood relationship.

When hearing about Jiang Zhengchu's life experience——

——Xue Ming admires this uncle very much.

The willpower required for years of travel, the courage to deal with different regional dialects and races, the ability to accept changes in clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the adaptability to accept local folk customs, overcome all difficulties in the road of finding relatives, learn new skills, and the judgment and concentration of planning task routes, Fighting wits and courage with criminals, Lotte's brave determination, reorganization and separation with other families, but never being knocked down by life, the vitality that can't even hear a complaint.

Like Xueming, this journey shaped Uncle Jiang Zhengchu.

They're very, very similar, but a little bit different.

What Xueming admired the most was that in Uncle Jiang Zhengchu's life, there was no one like Brother Ye Bei to help him, but he still walked so far, walking smoothly, step by step better, step by step smoother. .

It is hard to imagine that this fifty-nine-year-old man still has such bright eyes, such a healthy body, such a clear thinking logic, and a clear and well-organized conversation.

Except for the problem of smoking, he can hardly find any shortcomings in Uncle Zhengchu.

It's like a treasured knife being wiped every moment, ready to deal with unexpected troubles in life. After all, Uncle Zhengchu's life is a series of unknown adventures.

His tractor is a war horse, and the banner and banner are the iron feathers and military flags of the hussars.

He has traveled through most of China and defeated the enemy for 18 years. He is a ranger in modern society.

During this journey, he has loved many people, hated many people, helped many people, and owed many people.

These people and things are probably much more important than the biological son who has been together for less than four years.

Back in the reception room——

——When Xueming heard the inquiry from the two big brothers Ye Bei and Xingchen.

He understood immediately, and told Uncle Jiang Zhengchu.

"Uncle, I am the child who was kidnapped and brought to Hengyin. I also have a younger sister. Are you ready? I think what the elder brother means is that I want to be a parent-child with you families who have lost children like before. Identification."

Having said this, Jiang Zhengchu suddenly froze.

He was a stranger to the lad and terrified of such businesslike conversation.

He also met young people who were looking for their parents in other places several times. Every time he reached the end of the journey, he would hesitate and be afraid.

No memory filter can forcefully match the four-year-old biological son with the stranger in front of him.

It was so before, and it is so now.

What's more, Jiang Xueming and Jiang Zhengchu are not alike at all.

There is no similarity in their facial features, eyebrows, eyes, height and weight. It is the difference between the bear people from the north and the werewolves in the south.

Xueming's eyes are big and bright, with delicate eyebrows and eyes that look frail and cold, strangers feel a sense of alienation when they see her.

Uncle Zhengchu's eyebrows are protruding, his eye sockets are deep and piercing, his frame is broad and strong, and his complexion is bronze. As long as he smiles, strangers will think that he is a man from Jiaodong who is easy to get along with.

Seeing that Uncle Zhengchu hadn't spoken for a long time, Xueming just wanted to give up: "If it's inconvenient"

Uncle Zhengchu immediately said, "It's convenient, when is it convenient?"

Xue Ming also became anxious: "Hurry up, I don't have much time, I'm afraid I have to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Uncle Zhengchu nodded: "That's right, now young people have to go out to work when they return to their hometown for the New Year. It's not easy to make money in Hengyin. Young man, do you have any other relatives at home now?"

At this time, Uncle Zhengchu showed the side of a mature social person and wanted to ask Xueming's family clearly.

Xueming answered truthfully: "There is only one younger sister, and she and I were both kidnapped. Two human traffickers acted as our adoptive parents and raised us up. Only when I met Brother Ye Bei did I have the ability to take my younger sister out of here. Now Live in HK and make a living there.”

"It's a good thing, it's all a good thing." Hearing Xueming's answer, Uncle Zhengchu patted his knee lightly, feeling very thankful: "In the past ten years or so, I often saw news that criminals abducted people and took them away. Organs and corneas were finally destroyed with a hair dissolver. I was very scared at the time. Everywhere I went, I stood guard in the imported small commodity market. At that time, the Japanese brand of hair dissolver was easy to use. If anyone bought a lot There are many, I will ask for clarification immediately, and if you are not clear, call the police. It is a very good thing that you can grow up and live with your sister to this day, and you have done a good job."

Immediately afterwards Uncle asked again: "Are you talking about friends?"

Xueming immediately replied: "The boss arranged for me a partner. She is very nice, but she is too young. She is only 21 years old, and I am only 22 years old. I don't think it is the right time. I am not ready to be a woman." Husband, not ready to be a parent - especially at work, I work as a security guard on a cross-country rail system, which is dangerous."

At the beginning, Uncle took a deep breath of cigarette, his face was melancholy.

"I don't know the nature of your job, but you can't earn enough money. There is always more and more money waiting for you to earn, but there are few important people around. This is putting the cart before the horse."

"It's not about money, uncle." Xue Ming immediately explained: "It's something that must be done. My partner will also do it with me."

Hearing what Xueming said, Uncle Ah immediately smiled: "That's good, it's a good career."

Xue Ming was anxious about the schedule, and also thought that his life or death during the trip to Red Star Mountain was uncertain. If this uncle was really his father, he probably didn't have much time to get to know each other or get along with each other.

This is another debt of flesh and blood, but it cannot be repaid with pure money.

If you give your biological parents a pension and leave hastily-this is also a kind of human flesh trading.

If not, there will always be a bitter cold thorn in my heart.

Uncle Zhengchu seemed to see Xueming's embarrassment, and immediately raised another topic: "What family is your friend?"

Xueming thought for a while: "A worker's family. Her father, who I call my uncle now, and my father-in-law in the future, taught when he was young. Later, he took root in Shanwei and joined a foam factory."

"It's not good, I'm afraid he's not in good health." Jiang Zhengchu naturally diverted the topic away, and stopped talking about the paternity test: "When you are a teacher, you have to eat chalk dust, and when you work in a foam factory, you have to smell the chemical pool every day. Can’t run, can’t walk far.”

Xue Ming seriously analyzed: "Yes, uncle looks fine physically, but my partner wants him to live in the urban area and move to change the environment, but uncle doesn't agree. He just wants to live in the old site and play with toys every day. It's just that he made himself a spiritual tablet, and he doesn't know what it means, it seems to be urging his daughter to go home and be with him more, lest he lose sight one day."

In fact, Bai Zijin's father, Bai Ningguang, has always been ill.

But the daughter has a panacea, and the fact that the child king placed his spiritual position at home is purely a demon.

Jiang Zhengchu wanted to go wrong again, and he couldn't listen to Xueming's pessimistic and realistic assumptions.

"Is your partner good-looking?"

Thinking of Xiao Qi, Xue Ming began to smile: "It's very beautiful."

Seeing the young man happy, Zhengchu also felt relaxed——

——This question is not really about Seventh Brother's appearance, but about whether there is beauty in the eyes of lovers in Xue Ming's heart.

Uncle Zhengchu thought to himself—it seems that there are many, many important people living in this young man's heart.

So continue to ask.

"What's her personality like?"

"It's a bit weird, it's ugly when you laugh, and it looks like a bad guy."

"Then is she a bad person?"

"No, it's a lifesaver for me and my sister."

"She saved both of your lives? Helped you both a lot?"

"Yes. When my sister was sick, it was up to her to find medicine and introduce me to the boss. Give me a new job and a new mission."

"Then you have to distinguish clearly, liking others is not the same as repaying kindness."

"I know, I understand, I know. So I also told her to take it slowly, it is faster to take it slowly."

"You are so sensible."

"I'm twenty-two years old, uncle, I should be sensible."

"Does she have you in her heart? Can you recall?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure." Xue Ming didn't tell the truth here, according to Seventh Brother's temperament, don't say that he has it in his heart, he can't wait to have it in his mouth.

"Work hard and live well." Uncle Zhengchu didn't ask any more questions and said, "My wife and I just didn't have a good life, didn't have a job, and finally lost our hearts. We separated at this point—— When you don’t have the ability, you will lose a lot, and if you miss it, you will have nothing, and there will be nothing more. If you take a wrong step, the next life path will be completely different.”

Xueming turned around and asked Uncle A.

"Forgive me, uncle, you have been looking for a child for so many years. According to my shallow life experience, the relationship should be getting weaker and weaker. I am afraid that this son is not as good as other people in your heart. Other things - if If you really found it, what would you do to him?"

Uncle Zhengchu laughed loudly: "Isn't it just a chat like you and me? He left me at a very young age."

The smile slowly froze and became expressionless.

"I have saved quite a lot of money, and I wonder if my baby will still need the money after he becomes a man, because money is never too much, but I also think about whether my son will be angry, Will it be that I am not optimistic about him? Will it turn against me because of this money, mistakenly thinking that I can pay off the emotional debt of eighteen years by spending this money. I dare not think about it because I don’t know How to deal with this matter. I can only ask little by little. If he lacks something, I will think about how to make it up."

Uncle pointed to the luggage outside the door.

"Don't look at me dressed sloppily and running outside. There is no way I can be glamorous. I eat and sleep well. I will go on the road when I am full of energy and healthy. I have never been seriously ill or injured. Take the road After all the debts are paid off, make an account book to record the favors—the saved money has no place to spend, so I prepare for the recognition. I have saved about 200,000 over the years, and it should be no problem to pay the down payment in a small city Yes. If he becomes successful and goes to a big city, I won’t be able to help him, and I’m afraid he doesn’t need my help either, as long as he doesn’t cause trouble.”

Brother Ye Bei and Brother Xingchen smoked for a long time, without saying a word.

These two people probably knew in their hearts that the ages of Jiang Zhengchu and Jiang Xueming were matched, and the identities of Xueming's brother and sister were also matched. Perhaps they only needed a paternity test certificate, and the results were almost the same.

At this moment, Uncle Zhengchu suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to answer the phone."

Wait for uncle to leave.

Ye Bei and Xue Ming whispered.

"Do you think he is your father?"

Xue Ming shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether it's right or not, I still have things to do."

Ye Bei: "Is life a big deal?"

Xueming nodded: "Yes, it's a big deal in life. I have a very good friend who is Romanian. He is going to travel far away, and he may die - we will never see each other again. We fought together, cried together and laughed together , he has saved me more than once. He is almost my reinvented parent, and I am almost his reinvented parent."

Su Xingchen followed suit and nodded: "Then I have to go—is it urgent?"

"Very urgent." Xue Ming looked outside the door, not knowing what to say: "Leaving within a week, I don't know when I will be back."

Su Xingchen immediately took out a blood collection bottle from the spirit clothes.

"You leave some blood here, and you only need some blood for identification."

"Okay." When Xue Ming was taking blood, he said to Brother Xingchen: "I feel so strange, really strange—it's like something that I've been brooding over for many, many years suddenly has a result, and the stone in my heart I let it go. But I started to feel lost again, and hugged another stone.”

Su Xingchen is an intelligence officer with a background in criminal investigation. He has seen a lot of what Xueming said.

"This is the end of a journey, and of course you will be confused—I'm afraid Uncle Zhengchu is the same way. Do you dare to bet with me? I say that there are nine out of ten chances that he went out to answer this call to find an excuse to leave. From your From the perspective of conversation, whether you are his biological son or not is not important at all. The important thing is whether he will become your burden, a new demon, and whether it is not easy for both parties to recognize each other. What a good thing, but to kill both journeys and turn a good thing into a bad thing."

When the blood collection bottle pierced the skin, there was an immediate burning pain.

The stars are like a sharp steel cone, every word punishes the heart.

"Uncle Zhengchu's story of knights and rangers will come to an end, and when you go to the Nine Realms Station for an adventure, you will also start to be timid, with worries in your heart all the time. When you go to the next unknown station, you must consider the time you spend with your loved ones on the return journey. Think about the surface Are the hunters wandering around Uncle Zhengchu? The same is true for us Tianshu officers, but the passengers are wandering in the underground world, and we have more concerns about dealing with demons in the human world."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Zhengchu was seen returning to the reception room.

He was apologetic, as Xingchen said, he was looking for an excuse to leave.

"My ex-wife called me and said that Guangxi has clues about her daughter. Since you are all locals in Hengyin, it is easy to find and contact. This young man also has a lot of things to do. How about we get together next time? get together?"

In the in-depth interpretation of the ways of the world, this [next time]——

—I'm afraid it won't be so easy to meet again.

Ye Beichao whispered: "Do you want to refuse? Do you want to keep uncle?"

Xingchen whispered: "Why refuse?"

The two brothers seem to have lost their way.

Xue Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if another big rock had also been let go.

"Then."

Sudden--

——A blond foreigner broke in through the door.

That was Chen Fugui, the boss of Zhizhapu, Ye Bei's arsenal.

"Then stay and have a meal! Go to KTV to have fun! Let's sing a song? No way? No way no way? You don't even have four hours for the Lantern Festival, do you?"

The fake foreign devil broke into the reception room, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the embarrassment before was no longer there.
