The mining area at night seemed to be as sleeping as the people who were still in the mountains. Except for the gentle breeze blowing and the occasional barking of dogs or two, there was silence everywhere.

This place far away from the hustle and bustle is Yu Lin's hometown. It is neither like a small mountain village that is almost isolated from the world, nor like the mountain market where the township party committee and government are located. There are very few native mountain people. The rows of Su-style family resident courtyards at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside are all coal miners from all over the world.

At the most prosperous time, there were nearly 10,000 people living here. The mine had its own armed forces, police stations, cinemas, hospitals, kindergartens and elementary schools. Large coal trucks were continuously loading from morning to night, which made the mountain road leading to the railway freight yards so bumpy that it had to be renovated once a year.

It has been mined for decades, and it is no exaggeration to say that the surrounding mountains have been hollowed out.

Every rainy season, there will always be several landslides. Last year, there was a heavy rain. The gentle slope on the south side of the No. 6 mine, which was closed for unknown years, actually collapsed as a whole, and a sinkhole with a diameter of more than 50 meters appeared.

All the coal under your feet has been mined, and the once-prosperous mining area has been reorganized, reorganized, contracted, liquidated until bankruptcy.

What should I eat if I rely on the mountain to eat, but what should I eat if the coal is gone?

Those who can leave have left one after another, leaving behind all elderly people and people who can't work outside. Therefore, the mining area is not only silent at night, but also deserted during the day.

Yu Lin couldn't work outside, but after weighing it, she finally returned to this place full of beautiful memories. Using the money given by Du Qian, who was far away in South Africa, she bought the once bustling labor service company, opened a hotel in the mining area, started her old business, and became a veritable boss.

The mountains are not very popular, so you can imagine how the business is, but it is not as expensive as opening a hotel in a big city, so it can barely maintain it.

Whether you can make money is actually not important to Yu Lin.

So what if the business is good? Can it be better than when I went out to conquer the world with Mr. Hao?

The reason why I came back and opened this unprofitable restaurant was that I felt that I had no place to go and didn’t know what to do.

No!

In fact, there is still a place to go. Du Qian called more than once to go to South Africa. There is a shopping mall larger than Hongfeng Building and even a manor covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres. You can go to the mall to help, and you can help Mr. Hao want to see him before he died but couldn't see his child...

Anyway, there are some things to do, but Yu Lin still doesn't want to go.

Du Qian forgave Han Bo, but she didn't want to see the smiley tiger again who killed Mr. Hao and Uncle Qian, and the miserable Uncle Zong and Brother Sicheng. She also didn't want to see the smiley tiger's wife Li Xiaolei again, and even everyone who had a relationship with them again.

Today is Uncle Qian's Day, and you will never be wrong. Six years ago, Uncle Qian was executed by shooting today. Yu Lin remembers it very clearly because it was her and Du Qian who accompanied Aunt Fanglin to collect the body. Everything she saw and encountered at that time kept flashing in her mind, as if it had happened yesterday, and she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She simply sat at the desk, opened the drawer and took out a thick collection of photos, flipped through page by page, recalling the time she went out to conquer the world with Mr. Hao.

Seeing Mr. Hao and Uncle Qian's smiling faces, her heart was as if she was tearful and she burst into tears. She subconsciously looked up at the night sky outside the window. It was so dark. The scenery in the distance was hidden in this dark night. The light from the window shone on the nearby trees, and many blurry black shadows fell on the ground, as well as vague water traces, quietly telling that this is a sentimental rainy season.

Just as she was thinking about whether Mr. Hao would have ended up if he had not taken the Tibetan road back then, his cell phone, which was almost unused, suddenly rang, and the ringing sound was particularly harsh in the quiet night, which really scared her.

The number on the caller ID was very unfamiliar. She hesitated for a moment, pressed the call button and moved it to her ear and asked, "Hello, who is it?"

"Sister Lin, I, Zong Hao, Uncle Gu, is back, Xiao Wu is by my side. We are almost at the mining area. We want to talk to you about something."

Zong Hao is Zong Yongjiang's second son, Xiao Wu is Qian Zhongming's son, and Yu Lin grew up. After the accident, they went to Xinyang and the other to Xichuan. They have fewer contacts over the years, and only make calls occasionally.

Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, stood up and asked, "Is Uncle Sicheng back?"

"I'm back. Xiaowu and I went to the airport to pick me up. We went to visit Uncle Qian's grave together at noon. After the commemoration, we rushed to your place. We just passed Tunnel No. 2 and we were almost here."

Gu Sicheng was the person that Mr. Hao trusted the most back then. He was also one of the twelve people who were rescued from the underground at the risk of his life. Because he was the youngest among the twelve people and learned the fastest, Mr. Hao asked him to go to Hong Kong, but things didn't go as expected. He met the star of the Sangmen of Han, who was not spared in Hong Kong. He was sentenced to three years by the Hong Kong court. After being released from prison, he was arrested again and sentenced to four years by the Dongping Intermediate People's Court.

Calculate the time, he should have obtained parole.

Zong Hao and Qian Xiaowu were full of energy, especially Qian Xiaowu, who had a deep feud with the man surnamed Han. Thinking of Gu Sicheng getting along with the two children as soon as he was released from prison, Yu Lin felt a little sad and couldn't help but ask: "I haven't been out for several years, what can I talk about with me?"

"The phone is inconvenient. Sister Lin, I will call you when I arrive, and you will come down and open the door for us."

He has come and cannot be kept out. Yu Lin whispered: "It is dangerous to walk the mountain road at night, so you can drive carefully."

"It's okay, how many times we walk this road, we can reach it with our eyes closed."

They grew up in a mining area and are familiar with the road conditions. Nothing should happen. The key is their purpose!

Yu Lin took a breath of cold air and a ominous premonition arose.

Mr. Hao died, Uncle Qian died, and one of them, the other of them had been jailed, and the longest sentence had not come out yet. The one who died, the one who was in jail was in jail. She didn't want to see Gu Sicheng, who was not a relative but was better than his relatives, and something happened to Zong Hao and Xiao Wu again.

The more she thinks about it, the more worried she is!

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became!

I picked up my phone several times and wanted to call Du Xi, who was far away in South Africa. I had already dialed it out several times and hung up quickly. I secretly decided to wait until someone got there to figure out their purpose before I talked about it.

The nervous waiting was a torment. She clutched her phone tightly and paced around the room. She didn't recover until the phone rang again, and then ran downstairs to open the rolling gate.

"Linlin, you've lost weight."

What appeared in front of me was a familiar and strange face. Yu Lin was thinner, but Gu Sicheng, who had just been released from prison, was thinner. He was not only thin but also looked very old. To be precise, he should be the kind of old that has experienced countless vicissitudes.

Yu Lin stared straight at Gu Sicheng, who was only three years older than her but the same generation as her father. After staring for a while, she sang in tears and said, "I'm back, I'll be back."

"Sister Lin, are there any leftovers? We are starving to death."

"If you have food, come in, come in, I'll go to the kitchen to make it for you."

"Let's go together, I can cook, I'll help you," Zong Hao stuffed the car key into Xiao Wu's hand, and then reminded: "Xiao Wu, Sister Lin is like Home, do it yourself and pour a glass of water for Uncle Gu."

"No, I'm not thirsty."

Gu Sicheng looked around and confirmed that there were no outsiders in the store. He walked straight to the kitchen door, leaned against the door and lit a cigarette, and asked in a low voice: "Linlin, how are you doing these years?"

"It's okay, I have something to do every day anyway."

"Why are you still living alone? You are in your thirties and can't be single all the time."

Yu Lin felt sad and held the freezer door and choked up, "We went out together back then. I was still in good or bad. Mr. Hao left and Uncle Qian left. You are suffering inside. Can I get married outside? Besides, a woman who has been sentenced to probation by the court and has to report to the police station every month for several consecutive years. What kind of good man can she find?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention these."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"You don't need to come back. The probation is only a few years. You can go wherever you want to go after the probation period. You can change the environment and start over again."

The elders spoke, but the younger generations did not dare to interrupt. Zong Hao was really good at cooking, so he seized Yu Lin's position and signaled Xiao Wu to come and take action, so that the two elders who had been together for a long time reminiscent of the past.

Yu Lin looked back and asked them to work hard. She walked to the door and stared at her uncle who was only three years older than her and asked, "I'm out, have you ever gone to see the child?"

Gu Sicheng took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.

Those who went out to conquer the world with Mr. Hao back then all valued love and friendship. It was normal for him not to see the children. He divorced his wife long ago and started a new family. Now looking for them will only destroy their lives.

Yu Lin nodded, thought about it and asked again, "What are the plans next?"

Zong Hao and Xiao Wu, who were busy making midnight snacks, looked at each other, suddenly raised their ears, and their hands became cautious.

Gu Sicheng did not answer this question directly, but stared at her still beautiful face and asked as if nothing had happened: "Linlin, have you ever had any contact with Du Qian over the years?"

"I often contact you, and she often calls me. She transferred the money she gave to my aunts over the years and asked me to help transfer it."

"It's not easy for her."

"No one is easy, life is not easy, and people suffer when they come to this world."

"You can see it openly."

"Sicheng, this is fate. Let go of what should be given. Can you?" Yu Lin didn't want to go around the circle with him, for fear that he wouldn't be able to let go and then suddenly said: "Let's live together. In fact, my mother really wanted me to marry you back then, but as soon as you left, she looked down on me, a stupid mountain girl. Now, you have been in jail and I have also been sentenced to death, and it's just right that you are a good match."

If we love each other, we can wait until now?
