Chapter 1200 Cheng Yaojin appears halfway
Leaden clouds hung low, and the sky and earth melted into a chaotic gray-white in the blizzard.
The snowflakes did not fall down, but rushed forward with the northwest wind, like countless blind white beasts biting each other, and smashed into tiny ice crystals in the air.
The outlines of the distant mountains had long been smoothed out, and the nearby work shed was covered with a mushroom-shaped snow crown. The withered wormwood in the cracks of the wall was beaten down by the snow particles, and occasionally a few pieces of charred rafters were revealed, like the broken ribs of a giant beast.
Li Xiangnan was smoking a cigarette, looking at the old man who appeared beside him again for no apparent reason, feeling extremely confused.
It would be fine if the old man was bumped into near Yanda, after all, he had suspected before that the other party was probably a nearby resident who was taking a walk in Yanda and went to Nianwei Hospital just out of curiosity.
But most of the land west of Anhe Bridge is now wasteland except for its own hospital. The only popular place recently is the construction site diagonally opposite where Lin Weiguo once worked.
Seeing the old man again in this remote place, everyone would feel a little wary.
"Grandpa, why are you here? Don't think you can get here just for a walk! It's snowing heavily today!"
Li Xiangnan looked at the other person with scrutiny and discovered some clues.
He was wearing a navy blue Zhongshan suit with lapels as straight as if cut by a knife, and the flaps of the four patch pockets were all fastened with hidden buttons. This was the work of a master craftsman from a state-owned garment factory - the improved cut with slightly narrowed cuffs not only retained the traditional shape of the cadre uniform, but also coincided with the trendy aesthetic.
The thousand-layer cloth shoes on my feet are tightly stitched, but the uppers are made of navy blue polyester fabric, which is a rare chemical fiber fabric on the market.
The old man specially asked the shoemaker to inlay half an inch of cowhide on the toe of his shoes, which was both non-slip and stiff, and made a clattering sound when he stepped on the stone slabs covered with thin ice.
This is an exquisite and sophisticated old man with an excellent family background and status!
Li Xiangnan was almost certain at first glance that the other party was not an ordinary citizen of Yanjing.
"Hehe, it was really a coincidence! It started snowing at around 2 o'clock, so I went for a walk and a ride, and I accidentally rode too far..."
The old man pointed to a bicycle parked beside a flower bed in the spacious square and said with a smile: "I wanted to wait for the snow to stop, but I waited and you came instead! What a fate!"
Li Xiangnan pulled the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look, and he really found a bicycle covered with snow parked next to a flower bed where flowers had not yet been planted. It seemed that it had been parked for quite a while.
Is it really just a coincidence?
This old man likes to take a walk. He walks everywhere in Yanjing City.
Did I really sneak here by accident and it was snowing?
And then meeting me, was it really just a coincidence?
Is there such a coincidence in the world?
"That's quite a coincidence!" Li Xiangnan exhaled a puff of smoke and watched it quickly dissipate in the wind.
"Of course!" An Fengnian laughed, looking up at the huge hospital outpatient department hall nearby, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how could I run into you if you were so elusive!"
"..." Li Xiangnan looked back at him, his eyes somewhat puzzled.
"I heard that this hospital is yours? Is that true?"
Li Xiangnan nodded silently.
"Tsk," An Fengnian smacked his lips, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Where did you get the money?"
"Uncle, you are a bit presumptuous!" Li Xiangnan twitched his mouth.
"That's true!" An Fengnian was not angry. He lit up a Sanwu brand cigarette and sneered, "But I'm just curious. You said you can't even afford two ambulances, but you built such a big hospital! How come you have money sometimes and don't have money the next? It's really strange!"
"Stop it, sir!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand. "You often get stomachaches from anger, so don't worry about me. I can't afford to make you angry again. Just take a rest! Don't think about me!"
"He's old now, so he likes to think about things that interest him!" An Fengnian smoked leisurely, his eyes retracted from the hall and fell on Li Xiangnan, and asked: "From the accent of that person just now, he doesn't sound like a local!"
"I'm from Huizhou!" Li Xiangnan fixed his eyes on An Fengnian's face and stared at him intently.
Seeing that the other party just nodded slightly after hearing this, he immediately asked: "Uncle, I said I am your fellow villager, why are you not curious now? Do you know where I am from?"
"Where are you from?" An Fengnian asked this question reluctantly.
"..." Li Xiangnan curled the corner of his mouth without answering.
An Fengnian waited for a long time, then turned around and found his eyes glued to his face. He wiped his nose guiltily and said, "Young man, what are you looking at?"
Li Xiangnan frowned and asked, "Grandpa, why do I feel that you are so familiar? I seem to have seen you somewhere before. Do you...actually know me?"
"Hey, how could that be!" An Fengnian quickly turned his head away.
Squeak!
At this moment, a Shanghai-brand SH760 sedan left a black mark on the snow at the door and then sped into the yard.
Li Xiangnan and An Fengnian were both stunned and turned to look.
The car was seen parked steadily at the foot of a dozen steps leading to the outpatient department.
Who is this?
In this freezing weather, how could anyone come to this unfinished hospital?
After carefully observing the car for a few times, Li Xiangnan was sure that the license plate was not one he recognized.
He stared at the rear door and slowly frowned.
Hey!
The car door was opened, and first an umbrella was opened on the driver's seat. Then the driver hurriedly went around to the right rear position and carefully opened the door.
The first thing that caught my eye was an octagonal hat. The dark brown woolen material was the best-selling "Valette" fabric in the No. 1 Department Store on Chang'an Street.
The brim of the hat is pressed with copper wire and bent into a crescent shape. A gold-plated enamel brooch is inserted diagonally on the left side, carved with the ribbon pattern of Dunhuang flying fairies.
Then, an old lady's face, which was stained with the vicissitudes of time, appeared in the field of vision. Her meticulously groomed silver hair matched with the thin gauze scarf with dark red wintersweet printed on it tied around her neck, projected an image of refinement and elegance that completely transcended the group of old ladies of the entire era.
do not know!
Li Xiangnan only looked for two seconds and was sure that this was not someone he knew.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at An Fengnian, and suddenly found that the other person's brows were frowned like his own.
Li Xiangnan looked at him, then turned to look at the old woman at the bottom of the stairs.
Eyes facing each other.
Out of nowhere, a sense of familiarity suddenly arose in his heart again.
Hey!
The old woman's mink and golden reed swept against the car door with a crisp sound. She stared at Li Xiangnan with her sharp eyes and slowly walked up two steps.
Squeak!
At this moment, suddenly a fierce and surging engine sound sounded above the empty and silent hospital, causing the three people, each with their own thoughts, to raise their heads and look at the long street outside the hospital.
brush!
Three cars drove into the hospital at lightning speed.
The military off-road vehicle left two black marks on the frosty dirt road, and the sharp sound of the tires rubbing against the ground pierced the early winter twilight.
The front of the car stopped suddenly when it was less than half a meter away from the flower bed. The ice chips kicked up by the anti-skid chain splashed like bullets on the glass of the parked Shanghai car, shocking the driver standing at the bottom of the steps so much that he took a step back and almost fell on the steps.
"Xiangnan! Get in the car!"
Qin Jingchuan jumped out of the car, waved his hands, and the sound of his whistle pierced through the wind and snow.
The military off-road vehicle he was riding in roared and turned behind him, its taillights like two stubborn flames.
"Second brother! What happened?" Li Xiangnan's attention had already been attracted by several cars. His gaze was no longer on the strange old woman and An Fengnian. He quickly rushed down the stairs.
"Let's talk first, get in the car!" Qin Jingchuan rushed up the stairs, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him into the car.
Li Xiangnan got in without hesitation. The shaking car body wrapped him up and drove out of the hospital like an arrow.
From the time we arrived here to the time we set off, it took less than ten seconds.
He looked at the strange old woman and An Fengnian in the rearview mirror, full of doubts.
In front of the hospital's outpatient department, Yin Hongmei walked up the stairs and watched Li Xiangnan leave with An Fengnian, their eyes deep.
The three jeeps gradually went away, the national defense green paint on their bodies becoming mottled due to the erosion of wind and snow, which only made their metal frames look even cooler.
The sudden arrival of three military vehicles shocked the two men so much that they remained silent for a long time.
Finally, An Fengnian frowned and looked at his wife, "What are you doing here? Why aren't you in the hospital?"
But Yin Hongmei took a deep breath, her nails dug deep into her flesh, and she suppressed the shock in her heart and answered irrelevantly: "Who took him away? Someone from the Qin family? No wonder we couldn't find out, it turns out he has a military background!"
