Chapter 182: Looking for him thousands of times, the lights are dim (Part 2)

As the others left, Chen Yan's tears flowed down. The first thing she asked was: "I don't know your name yet, what are your name?"

"My name is Shi Ye, Shi Shi, Shi Ye, Yuanye... Sit and don't move. I'll go to the kitchen to get a basin of water, process your feet, and rinse your shoes."

Chen Yan was very obedient and sat there without moving. I was very familiar with the back kitchen of the small restaurant. Don’t forget that I worked in Ziying’s noodle restaurant for a long time. I made a basin of water to wipe her feet and cleaned the pair of plastic sandals. The scalds still need to be dealt with. I was about to buy some scalds for her. At this time, the old man went back and appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, raised his hand and threw them to me something and said, “Boss, go ahead!”

I reached out to catch it, and it turned out to be a tube of Jingwanhong ointment that was autocratic scalded. Seeing that I had left, he had just gone to the street pharmacy to buy scald medicine. While I applied medicine to Chen Yan, I said, "Is it painful? I saw that your tears kept spinning, and you'll be cured if you endure it. The injury is not serious, and it's okay to apply the medicine... By the way, haven't you told me how your father is doing?"

"My father, he passed away." Chen Yan finally said with a choking voice.

My hands trembled and I hurriedly comforted me: "I'm so sorry, I'll make you sad as soon as I meet. Could it be that the surgery was not done?"

Chen Yan: "The surgery was done, but the disease was not cured..."

It is only now that I have time to listen to her detailed scriptures about her experiences over the past year. A year ago, the night I left from Xi'an, I gave her 20,000 yuan and told her not to open the business during that period. She didn't know what I came from, but she believed that I was a good person. After listening to my advice, she did not open the business for two weeks and took her father to see a doctor.

Just at noon three days later, the street was suddenly blocked. It is said that several fugitives were escaping nearby and surrounded by police. The police evacuated the masses and took action against the stronghold where they were being picked up. Someone heard the gunshots, but the action ended that night. Half a month later, Chen Yan returned to her snack bar and found two bullet holes in the locked door. Only then did he know what I said was true.

It is hard to say that her father's surgery was successful or unsuccessful. The doctor's medical skills did not retain the depleted life. Half a year later, her father passed away. Chen Yan was alone and neither wanted to go back to the countryside of Mizhi, where there was no direct relative, nor wanted to stay in the "dangerous" and sad place in Xi'an. Fortunately, she has learned some skills in recent years and continues to sell snacks for a living.

She is also a smart person. She knew that it would be impossible to run a Xi'an-style snack bar in Xi'an, which is not authentic, and chose to run it in another place. She came to Feishui, and the Xi'an-style snacks she sold in this place were of authentic taste. The address of the store was very coincidental, just near the University of Science and Technology. This is her experience over the past year.

When she was lonely alone, she often thought of a person, who was a mysterious passerby in her life, and of course this person was me. Today, she was surprised and happy to see me, so she was so burned that she was still unaware of it. Later, I treated her with the scald, and she was in a daze like a dream.

The news of her father's death made me sigh, and I was sad for her, and I kept comforting her. At the same time, I was thinking of another question in my heart: money can cure diseases, but I can't really buy back a life. Some people think that practitioners ignore many desires in the world to seek immortality in order to make immortality in fact, they do not know that life itself is the ultimate pursuit that people can never get rid of. Why is there an alchemy for cultivating immortality in the world? There is no need to find the answer.

I was chatting with her, and someone came in to eat noodles again. Chen Yan quickly said, "I'm sorry, classmate, it's not open today." He persuaded the guest to go out, and then put on sandals on his feet and went to close the door. I quickly pressed her shoulder and told her not to move, closed the door for her, and advised, "It's good to rest, but don't open business if your feet are burned. I'm so embarrassed, I'll knock you over the noodles when I show up."

Chen Yan's emotions had calmed down a lot, and she said with a slight smile: "Look at what you said, it's like you came to the door to burn me... Can you tell me what you are doing? Why did you go to Feishui and happen to walk into my small shop? The two students from the University of Science and Technology just now called you the boss?"

"To be honest, I am a first-year student at the University of Science and Technology. Those two were classmates from the same dormitory as me."

Chen Yan was surprised: "Are you a student of the University of Science and Technology? When I was in Xi'an, I thought you..."

"The situation was special. I helped a department to do something, and happened to meet you. Please, can you tell me something? I am an ordinary student here."

Chen Yan had questions in his eyes, but he nodded sensibly: "I know you are not an ordinary person, and I won't ask if there are any inconveniences. Don't worry, I will never talk nonsense. It's great to see you. You are actually at the University of Science and Technology, so you must come to my small shop to eat often... I can't pay you back the 20,000 yuan now, but I will definitely pay it back slowly in the future."

I smiled: "Have I borrowed your money? Why don't I remember it?...The money is actually not mine, and you don't have to pay it back."

Chen Yan was a little anxious: "How can that be!...I have been saving money for the past six months and have been thinking that if one day I meet you, I must pay it back."

"Okay, okay, I won't make things difficult for you. Just treat the money as you saved for me, okay? I will pay it back whenever I want, and I don't have to wait for the money to use anyway."

When I was talking, I heard a "gu" sound, which was made by someone's stomach. It seemed that someone was hungry, of course it was not me. Chen Yan said embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten dinner yet, right? Wait, I'll make noodles for you."

"No need for you, you rest here, I'll do it."

Chen Yan looked at me: "You? Do you know?"

"I forgot to tell you that I have been a guy in a noodle restaurant for a long time. If you don't know how to use the belt and width noodles in Xi'an, you still have no problem with the hand-rolled noodles in the south."

It was not long since I brought two bowls of steaming noodles, topped with oil and hot chili, and brought them to the table one bowl by one. Chen Yan took the noodles but looked at my bowl and asked carefully: "It's just that, are you enough to eat? I remember you can eat a basin!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile, remembering that I was in Xi'an at that time, and I sat in front of her snack bar in the same way as a beggar. She even brought me four bowls of sauce noodles to me and asked me to eat them up, but she left such a mysterious image of a rice bucket in her mind.

That night I was almost gone before the lights went out before I returned to the dormitory. When I saw that I was infuriated, I asked me what my relationship with the girl who runs a snack bar. I had long described the adventure today in the dormitory. I don’t know what they said, but in short, the narrative was very bizarre and exaggerated. The other boys stared at the beads and saliva was almost flowing down. I don’t know if they were full or because they were puberty, but when they were involved in women’s topics, they were very big gossip.

I could only briefly explain that I had seen her in Xi'an, but then I met her in Feishui, so they were surprised. They didn't believe that things were so simple! According to what I saw with my own eyes, the girl knocked over the face in her hand when she saw me, and her feet were burned. That look! The tears were rolling around, and it was impossible to say that it was a general relationship! I couldn't explain it clearly, and the more I said, the darker I could only trace it.

So in the later night talk in the dormitory, many different legendary versions appeared, the most exciting one came from the compilation of the old man. It was a sad and moving legendary love story. A hero, Shi Ye (Shi Ye), met a beautiful and kind woman in trouble in the world (Chen Yan). How the young master helped with justice, how she floated away, how the woman was grateful, and how she missed her every day. One day, she suddenly met again in a place thousands of miles away, as if she suddenly looked back, but the man was in the dim light. What I saw with my own eyes, when he was going to send burn medicine, how the young master gently touched the woman's jade feet...

The next day was Sunday. I wanted to go and see Chen Yan again, but I had to deal with another thing early in the morning. The secret contactor that I had just changed my hair on Feishui vibrated again. I saw the digital code on the LCD screen. Director Liang wanted to see me. Do you want to send me any tasks? I have only been to Feishui for more than a month, and I will have a task soon?

Until now, I am not sure what the official name of the secret institution I serve? Lily should know, but I never had the chance to ask her. The headquarters of the institution is not secluded or mysterious, but is in a lively and bustling place. It is an open cram school. It not only provides tutoring for students who failed the college entrance examination, but also very popular computer training in the subsequent years, and increasingly popular English grading and certification training.

The building structure of this school is in a folding shape. There are two teaching and research rooms with few people at the corner of the first floor. There is a door in the corridor separated from the outside. When you walk here, you can't see anything abnormal. The two teaching and research rooms are very large, one door opens on the left and the other door opens on the right. The large area connected in the middle has no doors and no windows. But if you have a way to measure the total length of the two teaching and research rooms, and then measure the total length of the indoor use area, you will find that there is a two-meter error. That is to say, the wall between the two teaching and research rooms is two meters thick, because the architectural design is clever and difficult to see outside or even indoors.

I remember when I first came here to report, my colleague in charge of the receptionist didn't know whether to make things difficult for me or to test me. When I came outside the corridor, I actually said that the entrance to the base was here, but I didn't tell me where the entrance was. I looked at the man covered in muscles and said calmly: "Do you know my special abilities? It's just through the wall. If you don't open the secret door, I will hit a hole in it myself. Then you can repair the house." The man's face turned cold and he reluctantly opened the secret door for me.

I know why that kind-hearted man inexplicably wanted to make things difficult for me, because last time I completed the task of killing money and recovering the disk, and was commended in our system. Today, I saw that the legendary "Stone" was just a white-faced scholar with an ordinary appearance. I guess my colleague was a little dissatisfied. Director Gu once told me: "It is enough to complete the task in this industry. Remember not to have the intention to win, as it will only make you die even worse."

The guy who picked me up obviously had a good abilities within the organization and had a high opinion of himself, but his mentality was a little problem. Has his boss told him that? My supernatural powers were nothing like those of them. Nothing else, just listen to the echo of footsteps, I knew there was a mezzanine secret passage in the partition walls of the two rooms.

My new boss, Director Liang, is a man in his fifties. His hair is not white, but he is obviously bald, and his forehead is bald. His hairstyle is very interesting. He tries to keep the hair around as long as possible, and carefully combed it to cover the baldness, but he doesn't know that this will make it even more obvious. He is wearing a pair of frameless resin glasses. When he talks to me, he likes to lean his body against the chair and lean back. The ending of each sentence is very long, and the leader's style is undoubtedly revealed.

Director Liang was speaking to me in a three-point question and seven-point education tone: "You reacted very quickly. When our special service personnel noticed you, they didn't even have time to take a photo. We only found a blurry back in the surveillance video that was always aiming at the hotel gate.... According to the staff report, the person who secretly monitored our observation point at that time was a student, and later walked into the University of Science and Technology. Based on their descriptions and the data I had in my hands, we determined that the person was you at that time... Don't think that you can hide your eyes and hear the results after receiving some training. The efficiency of our organization is something that half of you don't understand. Your every move is under the control of the government..."

The reason I came to me today is very simple, because I observed the hidden surveillance point at the door of the hotel for a long time yesterday. I didn’t expect that the surveillance point was set up by our institution. Director Liang was very confused and dissatisfied with my actions. From his tone, he could tell that it was me so quickly and he was a little proud. In fact, it was too simple for him to find me. My archives are in his hands. If the suspect is identified among the University of Science and Technology students, if he doesn’t suspect me, it will be a problem with IQ.

Finally, Director Liang asked me: "Shitou, can you reasonably explain your behavior yesterday?"
