Heshan.
At 4: in the afternoon, the sun had already set.
Ren Kuangshan also came to his loyal barbecue stall. If there is any advantage to getting dark early, it is that the barbecue stall opens early, so he can eat it as dinner.
Ren Kuangshan greeted the boss and ordered, "Give me three fried pork chops, a handful of mustard lamb tripe, and five skewers of lamb."
"Okay," the boss responded promptly, and brought it up after a while, adding a bowl of soup, saying, "Freshly cooked mutton soup, boiled with mutton bones that have been minced for a day, warms you up."
"Thank you very much." Ren Kuangshan felt really warm in his heart.
He drives a truck all year round. As the saying goes, people are worthless when they leave their hometown. Truck drivers suffer more grievances than they endure hardships, and they have nowhere to complain. For a while, Ren Kuangshan envied couples who drove trucks. They lived in the same car, took turns driving, cooking, and had sex at night.
Later, Ren Kuangshan was not so envious anymore. For children to study, it was necessary for their mother to be around. It was impossible for both parents to leave, otherwise they would become left-behind children.
As for himself... before he got cancer, Ren Kuangshan felt that people still have to be responsible. After getting cancer...
Ren Kuangshan took a big sip of the mutton soup, grimacing because of the heat. He thought, there is probably not much difference between humans and sheep. Sooner or later, they will all be eaten by the shepherds and have their soup drunk. How can he care so much?
Moreover, all he could do was to save some money. If he stayed at home, all the money he had worked hard to earn over the years would probably go to the hospital. In the end, he would just watch his wife suffer in bed, and he didn't know whether she was crying for him, or for the family's poverty and future life.
Everything is fine now. Ren Kuangshan left all the money he had earned through hard work over the years to his wife. Before leaving, his wife had cried all the tears she should have cried. During those ten minutes, Ren Kuangshan felt that she must have cried sincerely for him.
In today's society, if a man can make a woman cry sincerely for him for ten minutes, that's it.
Ren Kuangshan shook his head and took another big gulp of the mutton soup. He was still grimacing from the heat and almost spit it out. But he had the fortitude to hold it in his mouth and swallow it down with a hiss.
"There is oil on the mutton soup and it cools down slowly. You can't drink it like this." The boss saw it and hurried over to say something.
Ren Kuangshan smiled and nodded, saying "I see", then picked up the skewers and asked casually, "Boss, where are the places with more outsiders and more lively at night?"
"Our place is relatively lively. If it could be more lively, it would be the Grand Cross and the Construction Square," said the boss.
Ren Kuangshan asked, "Is it a mess?"
"A little bit. However, there are fewer people now, especially young people, so it's not that chaotic. It can't be compared with the 90s." The boss raised his chin, looking like a veteran.
Ren Kuangshan smiled politely.
After eating the skewers, Ren Kuangshan took a taxi and went to Jianshe Square.
He had money in his hand, and since he decided to stay in Heshan for a while, he was going to get another safe house. Anyway, the rent there was very cheap, and the rent had to be paid annually, and the deposit had to be at least two months, two months deposit and twelve months payment, a total of several thousand.
Ren Kuangshan first walked around the place, and then looked for a relatively large house online. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with no common area, some old furniture and appliances, and it was barely move-in ready. This was a street-side residential building built by the former Production and Construction Corps. Going through a small alley, you will reach a crossroads. It is not a community or anything like that, but it has convenient transportation and there are not many neighbors.
Like many small cities in Northeast China, the elderly in Heshan City have moved away one after another with their children, and the better the conditions, the more so.
There are many houses for rent around the house that Ren Kuangshan chose, mainly because the houses here can be rented out. There are more vacant houses farther away, but there are so few tenants that the owners are too lazy to put them up for rent.
Considering Ren Kuangshan's ability, this is the best rabbit hole he could think of.
Ren Kuangshan plans to live here for half a year, and then go abroad after half a year. Even if the financial backers behind him have any ideas, they should have given up.
Ren Kuangshan became extremely cautious when he thought that the person he was asked to kill was actually an academician.
Since the other party dared to kill the academician, they would naturally dare to silence him. Ren Kuangshan did not dare to go abroad as originally planned.
After leaving the square, Ren Kuangshan was like a moth, going wherever the lights were on, both to kill time and to scout the area in advance.
When passing by a brightly lit building, Ren Kuangshan saw the words "Guomao Starlight KTV", hesitated for a moment, and resisted the urge to go in.
Staying in a small city greatly increased his sense of security, but also greatly reduced the enjoyment experience he was looking forward to.
In big cities, the more glamorous the place is, the more secretive it is. Many shops don’t even have storefronts, let alone signs. You can only get in with a friend’s introduction. Ren Kuangshan had only heard of it before, but had never seen it.
It would be fine in a small city, as it could be opened right next to the business district, but after thinking it over, Ren Kuangshan still didn't dare.
His face is already on the wanted list, and although the spread is not very wide, it is hard to say who will see it. When Ren Kuangshan is walking outside, he can wear a big hat, a mask and earmuffs, and others will just think he is a foreigner who is afraid of the cold. But when he enters certain places, he can't wear a mask.
On the contrary, when it comes to renting or even buying a house, because of its status as an internet celebrity city, the real estate agents in Heshan can handle it on your behalf. Ren Kuangshan only needs to provide a copy of the purchased ID card.
"Don't follow me!" In the parking lot in front, a man and a woman suddenly started arguing.
Ren Kuangshan couldn't help but stop.
The man and woman who just came out of the store were both wearing only coats. The woman was wearing black stockings and had a tall figure.
The man who followed him had a more slender figure and a drunken voice. He said, "What do you mean by following you? You said you would follow me. What do you mean now? Are you going to default on your debt?"
"I told you, I don't do this. The most I can do is come out to drink some tea with you to sober you up." The woman's arm was pulled by the man, and she tried hard to break free.
The man laughed angrily: "We're really going to drink tea? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"I just wanted to drink tea... Besides, I didn't charge you any money..."
Ren Kuangshan touched the baton behind him. He wanted to be a hero and save the beauty. If for no other reason, it would be nice to add the girl on WeChat and get to know some of her close friends.
Just as I was thinking about it, two men suddenly rushed out from the darkness.
"Stop fighting and get out of the way." The man spoke in Mandarin with a dignified tone.
The slightly drunk man stood up and asked, "Who are you? I'm telling you, stay out of other people's business!"
"police."
The man frowned: "I don't know you, you say the police are the police? Let me see your ID!"
One showed him his ID.
"Police from other places, right?" The drunk man smiled, then let go of the woman next to him and said, "Okay. Police from other places are police from other places. We are ordinary people. I will listen to you."
After saying that, he bowed, turned around and left.
Ren Kuangshan stood in the darkness and watched the entire scene. He could not help but lower his head and left in a hurry.
