Qinhuangdao was a beautiful city, but strictly speaking, it wasn't a big city. Plus, it was the off-season for tourists, so there weren't many cars on the road from the city to Laolongtou.
Qin Yang had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it up. Instead, he slowly chewed on it. He had seen too many things today, and the impact was no less than when he first became a listener. He needed to adjust his mentality. After all, when he got home, he would have to face his wife and son.
His home, his warm nest, had always been his paradise, so he respected it, even … piously.
"Beep beep …"
Qin Yang's phone suddenly rang, and the order was accepted. Qin Yang frowned, did he forget to close the app just now?
He wasn't sure. After all, he was originally calm and collected. Ever since he picked up that person at the airport, he had been in a state of unease, so it was normal for him to forget some things and neglect some things.
After all, he couldn't be compared to that psychopath who became colder the more nervous he was.
Qin Yang thought of Su Bai, the guy he didn't have much contact with, but he had a deep impression of him. That guy was already a high-level listener. Qin Yang had unknowingly been left so far behind, to the point where they were no longer in the same world.
Sighing, a little disappointed, but everyone's pursuit was different after all. Qin Yang's pursuit of strength was just to live a little longer, a little longer, not to become stronger, but to spend a little longer with his gentle wife and child who hadn't grown up yet.
He was someone who was burdened by his family, but he was willing to do so. Of course, Su Bai was the same, he was burdened by his family as well. However, Qin Yang's insistence was to enjoy more warmth with his wife and child, while Su Bai's insistence was so that one day, he could personally twist off the heads of his own biological parents … Well, in essence, it was more or less the same.
Qin Yang decided to accept this order, because he felt that this would allow him to return to his previous state of life faster, and then he could face his wife and child with the mentality of an ordinary person. Also, according to the location, the person who took the taxi was not far ahead of him.
After a while, Qin Yang saw a man and a woman standing on the side of the road, they were probably two tourists.
Qin Yang rolled down the window and poked his head out, "Did you take the taxi?"
The man had a camera and a backpack, and the woman had a small bag. They smiled and nodded as they opened the door and got into the car.
When Qin Yang was about to change gears and continue driving, the man who just got in said, "Sir, we're going to Lao Longtou."
"But the order says we're going downtown. I have to go home, so I took the order."
"Look at you, you got the location wrong." The woman complained to her husband.
"I'm sorry, sir. can't get it. I'll double the taxi fare for you, "the man pleaded.
In fact, if it was in the past, Qin Yang would still have given them away. After all, he needed money, money that was clean and free of karma. He needed enough money to leave for his wife and children, because he didn't know when he would suddenly die in a 'normal' way.
But this time, Qin Yang didn't want to go back. He didn't want to go back to Lao Longtou and bump into the man who came out of the sea again.
"I used to drive a Didi. Sir, it's been so many years, and this is the first time I'm taking my wife out on a trip. Please do me a favor. The plane is late, and we booked a round-trip ticket because we were greedy. So, we have to go to Lao Longtou today."
Since the man said so, Qin Yang could only smile bitterly. Fine, I'll go back. Since I'm here, I'll just take it easy. I've already sent that man over, so I don't have to worry about pulling him back.
After turning around, Qin Yang drove to Lao Longtou again.
In the car, the woman looked calm while the man kept looking out of the window, as if he was reminiscing.
"Bro, have you been to Qinhuangdao before?" Qin Yang asked. If a taxi driver didn't know how to chat, he would really die of boredom. Because of the nature of their job, other than listening to the radio, they could only chat with the passengers. They couldn't watch videos or play Fight the Landlord while driving, could they?
"Yes, almost twenty years ago. At that time, my son was just born." The man sighed. "The last time I was here, this road wasn't built yet."
"Twenty years ago?" Qin Yang thought for a moment and smiled. "I didn't know. Bro, you're really young."
"Haha, no matter how young I am, I'm not as young as my wife. Do you think my wife looks like she's in her forties?" The man pointed at the woman sitting beside him as if he was presenting a treasure.
The woman's eyes were closed. She was probably not asleep, but it was obvious that she did not want to talk to the man.
"Sister-in-law is young too. I envy you guys." Qin Yang's words were nonsense. To a certain extent, he could already maintain his youthful appearance, but the problem was that his actual lifespan wasn't that long. The probability of him dying in an accident was too high. Therefore, in the audience circle, whether it was the veterans or the high-level audience, they rarely said such nonsense like "longevity is the same as heaven". The increase in life level brought about an extension of life, but under the audience's elimination system, it was meaningless.
"Is this your son?" The man pointed at a photo placed in the corner of Qin Yang's car window.
"Yes, my son. He's three years old this year."
"Not bad. Kids at this age are the most fun," the man said.
"He's very naughty. It gives me a headache." Qin Yang smiled. "Actually, kids are the most fun when they're seven or eight months old. They're as tender as a porcelain doll."
"Ha, yes, but it's a pity. Kids have to grow up eventually." The man sighed. "It's troublesome when he's naughty, but when he grows up, he's completely changed."
"This is the norm for parents. It's normal. Didn't we go through the same thing?"
"You're right. We really did go through the same thing."
"Bro, is your son married yet? He looks like he's in his twenties? "
"It's still too early. If this kid could get married and have grandchildren, why would we need to run around?"
"Haha, young people these days are not in a hurry. They always think they're still kids. They want to play for a few more years. Young people always have a different world view."
"I'll let him be. He's very picky. We can't make the decision. Sometimes we urge him, but he'll get angry and say he wants to adopt a child to bring back a grandchild. Don't you think he's just making us angry?"
"Hahahaha." Hearing this, Qin Yang was really amused this time. "Interesting, interesting."
This man was very talkative and humorous. It seemed that no matter what the topic was, he could answer it seamlessly. It made people happy to talk to him. When the car drove back to Laolongtou scenic area, Qin Yang still looked like he wanted to continue.
The woman got off the car first. The man and Qin Yang exchanged a cigarette and got off the car.
Qin Yang lit the cigarette and slowly finished it. He looked around to make sure that the man was not nearby. At that moment, he could only casually pat the steering wheel.
"I'm not waiting for you anymore. Let's go home for dinner."
…
"You seem to talk more and more," the woman said calmly. The woman said very calmly. She didn't clearly express her dissatisfaction, but her tone did give off a cold feeling.
"You talk less."
"Do you regret it?" The woman looked at the man. "Regret that you didn't really raise him as your son?"
"There's nothing to regret. I'm not that childish." The man took out his camera and took a few steps back. He said to the woman, "It's rare that we can come out for a walk. Let me take a picture of you. Come, make a pose. You're beautiful. You've always been beautiful."
The woman ignored the man and walked toward the scenic area. The man followed behind and kept snapping pictures, never tired of it.
Finally, the two of them climbed up the ancient city wall and faced the sea. However, it wasn't the season of spring. At this time, the seaside in the evening was actually a little chilly.
"Sigh, I don't believe it. I think about those messy things when I'm bored. Haven't you ever thought about it?" The man leaned back against the wall and looked at the woman.
The wind blew his bangs, bringing with it a bit of messiness, but it also showed a kind of romantic elegance. The man said that she was very beautiful, and he had always been handsome and tall. Even though he looked old now, he still had the temperament of a mature man.
The woman shook her head.
"Really?" The man didn't give up.
The woman's lips curled into a smile as she looked at the man. "Am I that bored?"
"It's not a matter of being bored. Two or three years ago, he was here. He did everything he could to avenge you." The man's eyes were a little blurred. "You really didn't think about anything at that time?"
"I think you're really thick-skinned.
When he was born, you were the one who put him under the tap to wash him in the winter.
At that time, when his head popped out of the glass bar, you were the one who pressed his head down and forced him back into the water. Now, you're so bored that you're fantasizing about another outcome and choice?
If you really become such a boring person, won't Fugui, who was almost killed by you, die with everlasting regret? "
"It's not just me. You're not any better. After using your sister's body, you actually let her run back to the bed to rot. I always thought that your taste was distorted."
"Oh?" The woman frowned and looked at Su Yuhang. "Then you'll have to stay with me in the future and become eternal. Won't that be hard on you?"
"Hahaha, I'm really not interested in being eternal." The man looked at the woman and said very seriously, "I chose this path because I want to stay with you. Two mud dolls smashed and mixed together with water to recreate you and me. In my opinion, it's not romantic enough. I want to become only one thought with you, and there's no end to this."
