Chapter Eleven Touch the Bottom Line

In some dim rooms, slightly blurry pictures, they are just the effects taken by the camera, and they cannot be too clear.

But Zhou Zheng's slightly sad expression in the picture also pulled my nerves. What should he have not intervened in these things?

Zhou Zheng is not a talkative person, so the picture started for half a minute and was still silent, even his expression was like a freeze.

After I was unexpectedly calm down, I no longer had that anxiety, but fell into a kind of memory. In fact, among the three of us, Chen Chong talked the most, and Chen Chong was the one who loved to express feelings among brothers. Zhou Zheng and I thought that if we had our own family in the future, the only person in our lives who would still tend to be more focused on brothers was Chen Chong.

Who would have thought of this result?

I lowered my eyes slightly, blocked my emotions, and expressed my feelings in front of someone who was already completely heartless was a sad and stupid thing.

At this time, the picture finally changed. Chen Chong in the picture opened the drawer and took out a pack of cigarettes that were basically extinct on the market.

That cigarette is not expensive, but it is the cigarette we came into contact with when we first learned to smoke.

It is definitely not an easy task to buy it now.

"Do you smoke?" Chen Chong's voice coming from the TV was somewhat unreal.

Zhou Zheng originally wanted to refuse, but looked up at the packaging in Chen Chong's hand, and couldn't help but be stunned. He subconsciously took the cigarette from Chen Chong's hand and let Chen Chong light it with an exquisite lighter.

The sound of Zhou Zheng smoking came from the picture. Chen Chong did not suck, but just looked at Zhou Zheng, and his deep eyes covered all his emotions.

"Emerald smoke is very choking. At that time, you were only 2.51 yuan and 50 yuan packs. You were a little stingy. I thought you would at least have Chinese cigarettes to greet me." Finally, Zhou Zheng spoke. Although he said that, he sucked two sips of the cheap cigarette he spoke when he was talking, looking a little intoxicated.

It's really hard to smoke, it's very choking, and the smoke is very strong. It's not the kind of old cigarette gun that can't even "appreciate" such a strong cigarette.

It's just because it's economical and affordable, it has accompanied us for a long time in our youth.

Zhou Zheng has good financial conditions, so he has never smoked a good cigarette? How can a mere jade stick make him intoxicated? What makes him intoxicated may be just memories of the past.

Facing Zhou Zheng's words, Chen Chong smiled and said lightly: "If I were really stingy, I would treat you with China. Do you know how difficult it is to get one or two bags of jade now?"

Zhou Zheng did not interfere with Chen Chong, but stretched his body before saying to Chen Chong: "I have been absent from work for a long time. When I came back and lost my job, it doesn't matter. I want to live a new life."

"Do you need my help?" Chen Chong didn't look joking.

"No, you know I'm extreme. When I find that the world is not what I think, exploring this world is much more important than money or something. I don't value material life anymore. Everything that happened to me seemed like a dream." Zhou Zheng rejected Chen Chong's kindness.

"Explore this world?" Chen Chong lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. He just opened the drawer and fumbled for a while, took out an exquisite pen and a notebook from it, quickly wrote something on it, and then pulled off the piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng took it in confusion.

Chen Chong played with the pen in his hand and said casually: "After 500,000, even if you don't need to do anything for the time being, you can still go to many places. Exploring the world requires walking and seeing more. I heard that there are still many mysterious events in China. You can go and see it. You can go abroad to see it. I have something to do here."

Zhou Zheng's face became weird. He gently placed the check in his hand on the table, and then pushed it in front of Chen Chong.

Chen Chong's face changed a little, and then said, "Don't be polite to me. Once, the three of us would be divided into three parts. If it was a matter of money." At this point, Chen Chong suddenly paused and his tone suddenly became stronger: "I can spare no effort to help you, and even ask me to pay all the money."

When the TV screen was played here, Chen Chong suddenly looked at me, and I turned my head slightly and didn't look at him, but I knew that this sentence was a "warning" by Chen Chong to Zhou Zheng, and he was also telling him a certain bottom line.

However, Zhou Zheng did not accept it!

He said: "I won't come to you solemnly because of money. It might be just a phone call or a text message. Moreover, Chen Chong, are you pretending to be confused? Exploring the world is not a travel program or a wild survival. I have also learned a lot these days."

"Haha, it's a little darker." Chen Chong whispered.

But my heart kept sinking, and I knew that since Zhou Zheng didn't accept it, things would have no room for maneuver.

However, that strange calmness surrounded me, allowing me to continue watching quietly, rather than kicking the TV over and then grab Chen Chong's collar like before.

Chen Chong glanced at me, stood up, and walked to the desk and didn't know what to do.

On TV, his conversation with Zhou Zheng continued.

Faced with Chen Chong's slight attitude of slapping haha, Zhou Zheng's expression, which had been relaxed before, suddenly became a little serious again. In the seriousness, he was a little confused. Perhaps he could not understand what Chen Chong meant, so he chose to say directly: "Chen Chong, I won't joke with you. I don't need any bullshit money when I explore the world or something. I want to live a new life and want to put aside everything in the world. Originally, I was planning to return to the secular world for at least two years, after I made sure that the third brother was fine."

"Well." Chen Chong looked a little absent-minded, and I don't know if he was listening?

I understand what Zhou Zheng means. When I parted with him, I was seriously injured, to be precise, it was extremely close to death.

Since that time, we have never seen each other again. Even if we contacted each other, we only had a few times. It was not just a direct contact with Zhou Zheng, but Qin Hainian, but I was surprised that Zhou Zheng knew about me.

Chen Chong's attitude made Zhou Zheng a little discouraged, but Zhou Zheng continued unwillingly: "Since I'm back, I have also dealt with some secular things. I also went back to the factory and mining area, like a forgotten corner. Our city is changing every day, but the factory and mining area has not changed for many years."

"Of course, it's not completely unchanged! There is a large warehouse there, but it's not a good place. It was not a good place before. Do you still remember that experience that almost subverted our life when we were a child?" Zhou Zheng said this, and his hand placed on the desk tightly pinched it, as if he had not forgotten the shadow yet.

Chen Chongyang had no interface either.

"Apart from that place, the rest of the place is the same. It's just that it's different from the past. Just like the field we used to catch frogs, the fields we used to catch frogs are still there, no one planted them, and it has become a wasteland. The river we often go to swim. It used to be clear to see the bottom of the river, but now the water is a little muddy. I heard that it was only after the control. Before, it almost turned into a stinky ditch."

"The bamboo forest is still there, it's strange that it is where we have sworn brothers. The bamboo forest is still there." Zhou Zheng did not continue, but looked at Chen Chong with a steady attitude.

Chen Chong said vaguely: "Well, then when will I go and see it?"

"Don't wait. I took a photo, you can see it now." Zhou Zheng suddenly took out a cell phone from his body. It was simplest to take photos in this era. This should be the only thing he could feel a little more modern. As he said, he was going to hand it to Chen Chong.

Chen Chong blocked it with his hand: "It's better to go and see it with your own eyes."

"Then you might as well take a look first." Zhou Zheng stubbornly wanted Chen Chong to see.

Chen Chong frowned, and finally felt a little impatient. The force of pushing was a little stronger. The phone dropped to the ground with a "bang", and both of them were stunned for a second.

At this time, Chen Chong suddenly came over, pressed the pause, threw a pack of things in front of me, and said lightly: "There is no reason to give Zhou Zheng a tobacco, I won't give you a tobacco. Have you seen the beer on the table? The taste that remains unchanged for thousands of years"

I don’t talk, old xx beer, people in the factory and mining area love to drink, and from the 1980s to the present, it has indeed been a taste that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

In front of me was a pack of jade. I took it apart and sucked it. I was as intoxicated as Zhou Zheng, with the taste of the past.

I once dreamed of the world and dreamed of wandering around but found that what I missed the most was the years I thought I was trapped in the past. The most entangled thing about life is that in the best years, you do not have that state of enlightenment. When you get old, you have that state of enlightenment, but the years have passed quickly.

Only one gift that makes you more painful is left, and that is memories.

"Why should you fast forward?" The picture has no idea. The focus is on their conversation. It is naturally impossible to hear Chen Zhong's fast forward.

Chen Chong threw the remote control on the sofa casually: "You and I are both precious people of time, so don't waste your so-called feelings to see something. I think you can't wait to know the result, right?"

I took a deep breath of cigarette, was the only thing that remained unchanged just the old things and the smell of the old ones?

In the picture, Chen Chong held Zhou Zheng's wrist who was standing up and said word by word: "I gave you a final bottom line, that is, don't mention the matter between Ye Zhengling and me in front of me. Don't worry about anything or interfere with anything. I promise you will live a good life in your life."

Zhou Zheng in the picture looked so desperate and incredible. I was very familiar with that expression, just like when I saw Chen Chong in the forest bar.

"But you really shouldn't have interfered! I know everything. From the time you left that place, I knew your whereabouts. I didn't plan to use you, but you shouldn't try to touch my bottom line again and again. You really shouldn't."
Chapter completed!
