Longmen Memoirs

"I've been thinking about it for a long time." Foxhound raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her orange pupils were slightly dazzled, and her fingertips gently touched the rim of the glass.

"Chen Huijie possesses the most exquisite swordsmanship in the Longmen Guard Bureau, and also controls the most elite combat power in the upper echelons of Longmen. It is impossible for her not to guess what your return means."

Chen Mo suddenly realized that he finally understood Foxhound's thoughts, but this fact made his heart sink.

Has the conference of remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet turned into a conference of choices?

Foxhound swirled the glass, half of the ice cubes melted in it.

"What do you think she would choose? Should she give up everything in Longmen and leave with you, or should she continue to be immersed in her own false fantasy and regard your return as a sweet dream? Sometimes, really dying is a good thing."

The foxhound slowly raised the glass.

"Longmen is a seemingly beautiful city, but unfortunately it will always belong to one person."

Chen Mo calmed down. He rubbed the smooth wine glass in his hand and spoke after several seconds:

"You told me you were relegated to the fringes of power, but that doesn't seem to be the case now."

Chen Mo is not stupid. He can easily figure out some clues from the clues that Foxhound told him, such as why she suddenly mentioned the past, why she wanted Chen to find him on purpose, and what she said now After choosing and choosing, Gantry only belongs to one person.

If Chen Mo guessed correctly, Wei Yanwu knew about his existence from the moment Chen found her, and also knew that he had returned to Longmen a year ago, and it was her who helped him.

She betrayed herself, because of what?

Because of the cold treatment in these years, I am unwilling to be lonely, and because of my talent, I am resentful.

She is not such a person.

Because she knew exactly what she would choose.

Chen Mo didn't like the feeling of being clearly seen by the fox, but she couldn't deny that the fox really understood her.

But why would Wei Yanwu choose the fox again?

Bad taste, this old guy is always full of all kinds of bad taste.

Foxhound blinked, not surprised by Chen Mo's words.

"It was like this a day ago."

"Promoted?" Chen Mo asked.

"Head of the Special Operations Team of the Longmen Guards Bureau and Senior Superintendent, the transfer appointment letter was sent to my email address seven hours ago."

The Special Operations Group is a secretly formed Longmen supernumerary armed force with the purpose of strengthening Longmen's rapid response force to sudden attacks. It is equipped with the latest Longmen equipment. It is independent of the Special Task Group and the Special Inspection Group and is directly responsible to the Supreme Chief Executive. Chen Mo still remembers the conversation in Longmen Prison a few years ago.

[What is that army? 】

[Longmen's external troops are responsible for handling some difficult matters. 】

【commander? 】

[Now the foxhound. 】

[It seems that Officer Su has been promoted. 】

[Yes, she is a very smart person... It's a pity that he was not the most suitable person in my heart. 】

【I let you down. 】

[I can’t say I’m disappointed, you’re even better than I thought. 】

"Congratulations." Chen Mo congratulated, but there was no hint of happiness on his face. He raised his index finger on the cup and pointed at the fox: "This meal is yours."

I have said so much, and this is what you think of?

The foxhound nodded helplessly.

"For the sake of reinstating my officer, okay."

"I've been waiting for several years. If it weren't for me, you should have been promoted with your talent. I'm sorry."

If she hadn't done so many things for Chen Mo in the past, Foxhound wouldn't have been entrusted with the important task after several years. She had stayed at this stage of superintendent for more than four years.

"It doesn't matter." Foxhound raised his hand and looked at his watch nonchalantly: "The official appointment and handover will not be until nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Before that, we... you, have nearly four hours."

You still have time to leave Longmen, I will pretend not to see it.

"You have to choose one."

"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you? Fox." Chen Mo let go of the wine glass, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and stood up: "It's almost five o'clock. I should go back. I'll invite you next time we get together."

"Go slowly." The fox hound didn't even look back.

"You should go back early." Chen Mo walked to the door, put his hand on the doorknob and turned around: "Don't get drunk. Don't you have to take office tomorrow? Leave a good impression on your subordinates."

The foxhound raised his hand and waved it impatiently, as if chasing someone away.

"understood."

"I'm leaving." Chen Mo opened the door, and the summer night breeze poured into the house through the crack in the door, blowing his short black hair.

He walked out of the door, and outside the door was the quiet street scene of Longmen, which was very much like the autumn of 1090.

The foxhound stared at the blurred reflection in the glass.

"Well, take care."

Chapter 24 I'm here

Dawn in Longmen came much faster than expected. When the first ray of dawn illuminated the sky, Foxhound sitting at the bar put down the wine glass in his hand, with a stack of blue Longmen coins pressed at the bottom of the glass.

Just like the folded blue banknotes, over the years, Longmen has undergone many changes that were unexpected by the original people. Among these changes, the old ones become old and the new ones repeat the old journey.

"Idiot." She uttered a few words softly, stretched her body, and the fox ears on her head and the fluffy golden tail behind her moved slightly.

The wind chime that opened the door sounded in the quiet tavern.

"Excuse me, boss, put the money on the table."

----

Chen Mo tightened the collar of his coat. The summer night breeze was slightly cold, the dim street lights were on, and the city lights were quiet for a moment before dawn.

He knew that what the fox said was not unreasonable. Now he could not protect anyone, nor could he get anything back. He had lost the value he should have had, and what could he do if he ran back to the dragon gate like a half-dead dead dog.

In fact, a year ago, the fox asked him why he came back?

To die in Longmen.

He replied at the time.

Longmen is my home. No matter what it has done to me, it is my home. It is the first place where I first opened my eyes and came to this world. It retains my most precious and unforgettable memories. remember.

Chen Mo spent his childhood in this city. It was not a happy or warm childhood, but if he thinks back, a childhood like this makes him unforgettable.

He always remembered the unfinished Christmas of 1076, the light snow falling one after another the next day, and the box buried in the soil under the light snow.

It seems that if you bury it, you will forget a person.

So the two people holding umbrellas passed this cold winter after losing one person.

Later, Chen Mo realized that some of the things that cannot be forgotten are dead, gone, and disappeared from this world, but as long as you are still alive, they are still there.

People can never deny their past, except forgetting, but forgetting is the most painful thing in the world.

He could not forget the unfinished Christmas that year, nor could he forget the fire and the warmth of her embrace in the fire. How many years had passed, Chen Mo had experienced the same feeling in Londinium, her embrace and the sky outside the window falling Snowflakes, in the cold snowflakes, she hummed the lullaby softly.

At that time, Chen Mo realized that he had not been able to forget it all these years, that he could still remember it, and that he really couldn't bear it.

It was like, the night she left, when she knew she was about to be alone, she prayed for her to stay.

But she couldn't stay, and she... couldn't grow up peacefully according to her ideas.

Chen Mo sighed softly, looked back at the sky, dismissed the complicated thoughts in his mind, and lit a cigarette.

Xiao Mo opened her eyes gently, and she felt someone holding her.

Chen Wenrou's face was close at hand. The summer sky always brightened too quickly and the sun did not rise. However, the light fell through the blue curtains into the room, rendering the bedroom a light blue.

In the blue, Chen's blue hair was scattered on the pillow. She gently put her arms around the girl's young body, and her even breathing sounded in Xiao Mo's ears.

Xiao Mo curled up slightly, pressing his hands on the pillow. Chen's hands passed through the sky blue quilt, hugged her body, and landed on her back.

"Mummy?"

Xiao Mo didn't expect Mommy to be in her bed. She remembered that she saw Mommy and him outside last night. Mommy cried. When she opened her eyes and saw Chen, she was stunned and called softly.

The sleeping Chen was very quiet, with a quiet and gentle face. It was the first time for Xiao Mo to observe the sleeping Chen from such a close distance. The quiet and peaceful sleeping face could not help but remind her of what she had seen before. That photo of three children standing in front of a big iron gate.

Mommy must have been very happy at that time.She rarely saw a smile on her mother's face, a real smile and not a smile to comfort herself.

Chen had always been a light sleeper. She opened her eyes slightly, and it only took a short second for her red eyes to regain their clarity.

The moment before Chen was about to open his eyes, Xiao Mo subconsciously closed her eyes when she saw those eyes that were about to open. She subconsciously didn't want her mother to find out that she was awake.

In fact, even if she woke up, Chen wouldn't say anything.

"Are you awake already, Xiaomo?" Chen retracted his hand from around the girl and asked warmly.

"Mom, Mommy?"

Xiao Mo opened his eyes timidly, and there was a gentle smile on Chen Zian's face. They were lying on the same pillow, with blue hair and silver hair intertwined.

There is each other's warmth in the quilt, just like a few years ago.

"Why is mommy in Xiao Mo's bed?"

"Xiao Mo doesn't like mommy and Xiao Mo sleeping together?"

"No, it's not." Xiao Mo shook his head gently: "Mommy hasn't slept with Xiao Mo for a long time."

Since two years ago, when Xiao Mo turned four, Chen has never slept in the same bed with Xiao Mo.

"Mommy sometimes wants to stay with Xiao Mo." Chen reached out and gently touched the girl's hair hanging down the side of her face. "When you were little, you were always clamoring to sleep with me. Before you knew it, you were already this big."

When she was most helpless and lost, Xiao Mo was always by her side. It was as if she existed, and she suddenly felt that everything had meaning and that she could persevere.

Chen had the same feeling a long time ago. When she ran away from home, she knew that Tallulah was there and that she was waiting for her, so no matter how far or how long the road was, she had endless courage and strength.

"Xiao Mo has grown up." Xiao Mo said softly, feeling Chen's fingers caressing the side of his face.

"Growing up." Chen Mo's fingers stopped: "Mommy always hopes that Xiao Mo can grow up quickly, but she doesn't want Xiao Mo to grow up too fast."

We grow up too fast, just like many years ago. The three of us all hope that we can grow up quickly. But when we grow up, we understand how rare the time in childhood is. We want to go back, but we know that we can never go back.

"Mommy is afraid that Xiaomo will leave?"

Xiao Mo raised his hand, grabbed Chen Zhan's palm on the side of his face, and pressed it gently between his hands.

Chen looked at the little girl in front of him, two pairs of identical red eyes staring at each other.

"Will Xiao Mo leave Mommy?"

"Xiao Mo will stay with Mommy." Xiao Mo shook his head, "Xiao Mo and Mommy have made an agreement to stay with Mommy all the time."

Xiao Mo's fingers grasped Chen's palm.

"So, don't be afraid, Mommy."

"Mommy is not afraid." Chen smiled and was quiet for two seconds before she asked: "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

Xiao Mo's hand holding Chen's palm relaxed slightly. After hearing Chen's words, she hesitated for two seconds.

"Is he gone?" Xiao Mo asked. "Xiao Mo knows that Mommy will sleep with Xiao Mo because Mommy said he is a liar and Xiao Mo saw it last night."

Because Chen Mo has always been a liar, because even if Chen didn't tell her, she could still guess that he wouldn't stay here for long. Just like before, he suddenly appeared and disappeared.

He always has things he can't finish, and he always has too many goals. Xiao Mo finally worked up the courage to ask her grandpa about him, but grandpa said she would understand when she grows up.He said that person had done a lot of wrong things that he shouldn't have done, and he was the one to blame.

She didn't understand, she didn't understand why he couldn't stay, and she didn't understand why Mommy kept quarreling with grandpa, and she didn't understand that grandpa always frowned when he mentioned him.

Many people know that she is the little lady of Longmen, and Xiao Mo knows it herself, but she doesn't want to be a little lady, she just wants her dad and mommy.

"Does Xiao Mo hate him?" Chen didn't answer. She lay on her side on the bed and stared at the silver-haired girl in front of her.

Perhaps because of the resemblance, Chen couldn't help but think of Tallulah when he saw her, so for a while, she pinned all Chen's thoughts on Tallulah on her.

If it were Tallulah, how would she respond?

Of course she will hate it. She is always so frank. It is not like her, but it is her character. She knows very clearly what to love and what to hate, but she is not good at it. She cannot separate love and hate so well. Clear and clear.
