Chapter 3 One Arrow
In a trance, the car rode fast, and the river breeze was even colder, which made Luo Bin's cheeks stiff and his ears hurt.
He parked the car and stood on the flood control embankment, holding a cigarette in his mouth and hanging his hands, staring at the river in a daze, full of thoughts. The more you think about it, the more you feel like ashes, it's better to throw yourself into the river, as for the other ties, how can you care about it when people die.
He lifted his legs over the thick guardrail, but saw a young figure squatting on the railing not far away, curled up with his head covered by a black jumpy hat. Luo Bin was afraid of losing face, so he took back the leg that stepped out, and continued to stand casually, unnoticed slightly turned his head to look at the person, the light was not enough to see carefully, only vaguely saw the outline of a side face.
In this city of 10 million people, it seems that there are still many people who will not be able to pass last year's hurdle. Luo Bin thought so much and didn't want to stay any longer, maybe he would make room for someone else, and the rich people passing by would help the young man.
Luo Bin got on the car again and continued to walk a little further, turning an intersection and finding a convenience store that was still open. I picked out a dozen or six cans of beer, two packs of spicy strips and a packet of peanuts, and after paying the bill, I only had more than ten yuan left in my pocket. With the hand that took off the gloves, he pinched the cigarette shell in his pocket to confirm that there were no more cigarettes left, smacked his teeth, and pretended to look at the various cigarettes in the cigarette cabinet calmly.
In the end, I asked for Zhongnanhai for ten yuan, and exchanged the remaining coins for spicy dried fish, and then picked up the plastic bag and turned around.
He straddled the car to the riverside, confirmed that no one had put the things he had just bought on the half-person-high fence to unpack and unpack, and put the garbage in the plastic bag, and then raised his neck and drank half a can of beer, put down the wine on his lips and leaned against the guardrail and said to the river: "Now I can't live, if you are a monster in the river, you will help me, pay off the debt and leave a pension money for the old father, and I will sell myself to you." If you are a god in the river, forget it, I just flushed Guanyin Bodhisattva into the toilet bowl before, and they all said that the gods and Buddhas should not help if they want to come. ”
After speaking, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, remembering the sentence, "A gentleman respects ghosts and gods and stays away, and villains are afraid of ghosts and gods and edicts, or they ask for their wives and fortunes, or they are afraid of diseases and disasters. I'm really alive and easy to get off the face of a villain.
......
The river wind blew the head, and the people were drunk quickly. By the time he had finished his last sip of beer, his head began to swell and his feet fluttered. He leaned over and picked out the wine cans from the plastic bag one by one, shook them to make sure they were all drunk, then turned around and sat on the ground against the guardrail, lit a cigarette, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a string of numbers.
The phone was quickly connected, and the other end of the non called out, "Brother Bin." "That's it.
Luo Bin sobbed, turned his head and spat phlegm, then took back the cigarette and said with his tongue open: "Ah Hong, I apologize for scolding you a few days ago." ”
He paused and seemed to sort out his thoughts, "It's not convenient for your wife to go in and out with a big belly, your car is parked in the basement downstairs of me, so come and pick it up yourself in the next two days." If your business is turnaround, pay back the money you owe me to my dad. ”
"If you can't open it, forget it, I'm not in a hurry now, it's important for you to live your life first. ”
He smacked two puffs of cigarette and inhaled deeply into his lungs, exhaling and spitting out the cigarette butt, "Ah Hong, I really treat you as a brother." After speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the other side, squinted his eyes and shook his head and sang the Cantonese version of "The Light of Friendship"
"There are a few confidants in the world, and how many friendships can last forever.
Today's parting is with you and shake hands, and friendship is always in your heart.
Today is a farewell for a while, and he will definitely be able to get together.
Even if we can't meet, we're always friends.
It is said that there are thousands of miles of mountains, separating the two places,
You don't need to meet, you know it in your heart,
Friendship can't be changed. ”
After singing the song, he hung up the phone, stood up on his knees and turned to the river, thinking that it was time to test the depth of the river.
It just so happened that at this time, there was a bean-sized point of light floating slowly on the river surface in the distance, and the river water that slapped the shore was faster than a wave, and the sound of the motor could be faintly heard. When he got closer, he turned off the motor, and silently continued to swing towards Luo Bin, stopping at the river in front of him. Luo Bin squinted through the light on the shore and saw clearly that it was a fishing boat, with two people sitting in front and back of the boat.
The old man at the helm looked up at Luo Bin on the shore, coughed lightly as if warning, and then ignored it. The young man who had collected the net looked up at him from time to time. Luo Bin, who was relying on his wine, didn't care if he looked good or not, so he stepped over with his hand on the guardrail and raised his legs.
He wanted to walk down the steep embankment, but his drunken head could not control his shape, and he slipped and slid on his buttocks, until his feet were against the half-submerged reef and he stopped.
The two people who closed the net stopped what they were doing and watched in a daze. Luo Bin didn't care, stood up and patted his buttocks, smirking at the two people who were closer.
The old man scolded in the local dialect with a straight face: "What are you going to do?"
Luo Bin waved his hand and replied with a hippie smile: "Don't make a big deal, come to seek death, come to seek death." ”
The old man glared at Luo Bin as he pulled the fishing net out of the water. Hearing him say this, he suddenly lost his temper, and grabbed a walnut-sized stone hooked on the net pocket and threw it at Luo Bin, trying to scare him away. But Luo Bin's wine was already on his head, where would he dodge, only to see that the stone hit his forehead impartially, and immediately fell on the embankment with a muffled snort and no sound.
The two people on the boat suddenly panicked, dragged the fishing net indiscriminately and ran away "suddenly", leaving Luo Bin, who did not know his life and death, fell under the embankment.
......
The fleeing fishing boat stirred up waves and slapped Luo Bin's boots. The "stone" embedded in the forehead flashed silver with electric light, and the blood flowing from the forehead was flowing backwards with a loud sound......
After a while, the blood disappeared, and the "stones" entwined with electric light gradually disappeared into the forehead. At this moment, a black shadow jumped along the embankment, and finally landed firmly in front of Luo Bin with a "snap", leaned down and picked up Luo Bin's mobile phone that fell to the ground, and the silver light flashed on the screen, showing the call of "Ah Hong".
