Chapter 4: The Twilight Cottage
Looking at the light that was getting closer and closer, the movements in Nie Chuan's hands also became faster.
Seeing that it was too late, the man in black would immediately see the two of them.
Jingle bells!
Jingle bells!
The phone rang in a hurry, and the light stopped moving.
"Hey, boss. ”
The man in black in the lead picked up the phone and said respectfully, it seems that the person on the other end of the phone is behind the scenes.
"Did anyone catch it?"
A dull, hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.
"We caught her in the sewers, but we were rescued again. ”
When the person on the other end of the phone heard this, he crushed the goblet in his hand.
"Rubbish!"
"Hurry up and check!"
"Can't let the Dexi family know it's us!"
"Get her back in two days!"
Without waiting for the man in black to speak, he hung up the phone.
Taking advantage of this time, Nie Chuan untied the rope from the girl's hand, carefully touched the ladder, and went up to the top.
The rusty manhole cover was very heavy, and it was so hard to lift it open, and the moment it was opened and turned over to the ground, the sound of metal crashing resounded in the sewer passage.
Nie Chuan hurriedly climbed out, and there was a sidewalk outside, but there was not a lot of traffic at this point.
"They're here!"
The two men in black heard the sound and hurriedly ran towards here.
"Quick!
Hearing Nie Chuan's voice, he saw that the two men in black had already walked to the entrance of the passage, and the girl was also anxious to climb the ladder.
The fiery red light was close at hand, the two men in black had already entered the passage, and the girl was already very close to the mouth of the well, Nie Chuan squatted on the sidewalk, grabbing the girl's arms with both hands.
"Come up!"
Nie Chuan dragged the girl up, and he turned around to cover the sewer cover.
"Huaxia people!"
Nie Chuan, who had just lifted the metal cover of the sewer well, saw the man in black one meter apart, and he hurriedly loosened the sewer manhole cover and covered the two of them in the sewer.
"Let's go!"
Nie Chuan pulled the girl and ran into the path next to the sewer.
"Take your shoes off!"
After Nie Chuan dragged the girl across a street, he took off his shoes and threw them in the trash.
"Take it off quickly, or the marks on the ground will allow them to find us. ”
Hearing this, the girl didn't talk nonsense, took off her shoes and threw them in the trash.
"Let's go. ”
Nie Chuan dragged the girl to walk the path, and there was no trace, and the two men in black couldn't find the two of them.
As soon as the two of them took off their shoes, the two men in black finally came out of the sewer.
Seeing the muddy footprints, the two men in black glanced at each other.
"They're gone from here!"
When the two men in black chased them to the place where the two took off their shoes, there was no trace for a while, and the surrounding area was full of shops and small forks, and the main road was a cross street.
"Fack!"
"Damn the Chinese!"
The two men in black looked at the crowded intersection and became annoyed.
"I was actually tricked by a Chinese boy!"
"Let's go to Chinatown!"
The man in black in the lead, dragging muddy leather shoes, was about to take a taxi over.
"Why don't we change our clothes first?"
Another man in black sniffed his black clothes and said.
Hearing what he said, the man in black in the lead suddenly turned around, brought a gust of wind, and looked at him fiercely.
But then he loosened his elastic and tight body.
"Oh well. ”
"It's not bad for a while. ”
At this time, Nie Chuan and the others ran wildly in the unknown alley as if they were fleeing for their lives.
"Ahh
The girl stumbled and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Nie Chuan turned around and hurriedly helped the girl up.
"I'm stepping on a small rock. ”
Nie Chuan looked at the girl, a little sparkle appeared in her eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head, originally he thought that it would be good to take her to a safe place, but now it seems that he is afraid that it will not work.
"Can you stand up?"
Nie Chuan held her body and slowly made her stand up.
"No, it hurts a little. ”
Nie Chuan sighed and gritted his teeth, he thought to himself, forget it.
Walking barefoot on stones, the pain is really unrelieved for a while.
Nie Chuan looked around in this gray alley, he walked two steps, and saw an old-fashioned bicycle, cobwebs and rust, originally he wanted to carry the girl on his back, but he looked at his leg again, this injury could not withstand the vigorous activity.
Nie Chuan didn't hesitate, stepped on the bike and pedaled a few times, the tires were still a little angry, although a little heavy, but it was better than walking.
"Come up. ”
Nie Chuan pushed the bicycle to the girl's side.
"This ......"
The girl hesitated.
"If you want them to catch you, you're here. ”
Nie Chuan said, and was about to turn the car around and leave.
"Well, thank you then. ”
Hearing this, the girl didn't hesitate, after all, the two men in black were much more fierce than the young man in front of her, and besides, this young man also saved himself, so it was reasonable, and the girl would not be so ignorant.
The girl sat on the back seat of the bicycle, fortunately she was very lightweight, and Nie Chuan did not have much burden to pedal the bicycle.
Nie Chuan didn't use the injured foot to pedal the car, but only used it as an aid.
Two dirty boys and girls shuttled through the brightly lit streets, and for a moment, nothing seemed so important.
The tattered bicycle, the dirty clothes, and the way to escape have all become a joke after dinner between the two of them many years later.
Halfway across the city, a pile of abandoned container stacks by the sea outside Chinatown.
It's bordered by the sea, with meadows for three miles, sandy beaches, and the Sea Viaduct, the only bridge connecting Teestown East.
Originally, the government wanted to recycle the containers here, but after on-site investigation and discussion, it was decided not to recycle them, and to give the homeless a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which can be regarded as a place for the homeless people who came to the United States in China to have a shelter from the wind and rain.
And Nie Chuan's home is here.
Nie Chuan has lived here for a year, and he had some savings at the beginning, so it was not bad to change the two stacked containers together.
There are windows and doors, and there are lines to connect to, you can take a shower, and it's also two floors.
After all, there are not many homeless people in China, so even if everyone has two containers, it is more than enough, not to mention that Nie Chuan is still a child, and Huaxia people pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young, so he will not be bullied here.
Most of the paint on the exterior of the two containers where Nie Chuan lived had peeled off, revealing rusty bodies.
He opened the door and walked in, turning on the light in the room.
"Well, I'm okay here. ”
Nie Chuan turned to look at the girl outside the house.
"Come in, I won't eat you again. ”
Nie Chuan looked at the girl's hesitant expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The girl looked at the dark night and the city with bright lights outside, and finally stepped into the container.
The moment she stepped into the container, she was amazed.
She only had two words in her head, neat.
At the same time, she wondered in her heart, is this the home of the homeless?
The whole room is spotless, the entrance can go up to the second floor, the ground on the first floor is also covered with a layer of wool cushions, the wooden bed is a boxy quilt, the sofa is very soft and lying quietly next to the bed, the half-height refrigerator is pasted with sticky notes, and the wall is also pasted with posters of Statham and the Avengers, and the ceiling lamp on the high place shines a soft light, although these are cheap things, but Nie Chuan really made this place a home.
