It was raining lightly and the temperature was a little cool. Shanghai is close to the sea, so the rainy season comes relatively late, and it is different from the rainy season in the south. It's not the kind of drizzle that lasts for a month, but it rains heavily for a few days every once in a while, or it rains lightly for a few days. It is also a characteristic of the city, which is cloudy and uncertain.

Coincidentally, it was raining heavily today, and the rain came so suddenly, so violently, and it went so happily. The rain hit the tiled house in a courtyard, dripping down. Six-year-old Zhang Yongzheng was lying in Zhang Huizong's arms, opened two pairs of big eyes, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, why have you been sullen and sad today?"

Zhang Huizong lowered his head and smiled knowingly and said, "Yong'er is so smart, let's guess why grandpa is bothered." ”

Zhang Yongzheng opened his two watery eyes wide, proving that he was thinking hard, and then said: "Is it the last time that many people came here to make trouble, and I saw Grandpa Song and Grandpa Lin also come over, what is the matter?"

Zhang Huizong raised his head and looked into the distance, touched Zhang Yongzheng's head with his right hand and whispered: "Yong'er is just smart, you guessed right." ”

"Grandpa, we are the three major families, why don't we just blow away these people who came to make trouble?" Zhang Yongzheng asked suspiciously.

Zhang Huizong looked at Zhang Yongzheng's small face, but said in a serious tone: "The family's mission is too important, no matter what happens to this city, the family's mission must be maintained." What's more, the people who live in this city, they are just a group of people who can live. Their words and deeds are too fierce, they are also poison, and they can destroy a hero, so it takes extremely strong and firm faith to become a hero in such a city that is always in the limelight. What's more, people are already weak, and too much force will make them more afraid than convinced. ”

Dreaming of this, Zhang Yongzheng opened his eyes, and at some point the sky cleared up, and he saw a few bright stars in the sky. I didn't expect to take a nap on the rooftop again, but the summer night was a little cold, and it was time to go back to the room with only four walls to rest, after all, it was a little warmer.

Do I really have strong beliefs, strong hearts, and unchanging determination? In the face of the fierce verbal and written criticism, can I still persist in my own fight, and can I still strengthen my beliefs? In the face of the city I want to protect, but the people living in this city want me to go to hell, do I still have the confidence to fight for this city?

I finally fell asleep on the rooftop, and a memory of the past woke me up. When I returned to the room, I completely lost the feeling of sleeping, and kept thinking about that dream, or what my grandfather said in my memory, and now I seem to understand what my grandfather said at that time, but I still can't understand what kind of state of mind he was in at that time.

The morning sun showed a kind of scorching heat, and I didn't expect the sun to give a warning to the people living in the city this morning. Sure enough, the coolness of the morning in the past is all gone today, and it is replaced by an incomparably hot heat. I didn't expect this morning to make pedestrians sweat and embarrassed, but you can imagine how high the temperature in the city will be by noon, and people are probably reluctant to stay outside for a while.

The heat wave came one after another, and I didn't expect that in just a few dozen minutes after the sun rose, the temperature had risen to 35 degrees, which was really terrible. Although the temperature gives people a great test, in order to live, they must struggle in such weather.

Zhang Yong happened to be not easy to squeeze into the office, and the shirt on his body had been washed with sweat several times. Fortunately, there is air conditioning in the office, which washes away the burning heat from the outside. Other colleagues in the office also came early today, there has been too much news in the city recently, and everyone is busy, but Zhang Yongzheng has been idle these days, since the news of the interview with Song Guoqiang was canceled, he is in a dispensable position in this company. Coupled with the existence that he is now being pushed to the whole city to be abused and killed, he has no heart to work. Time ticked by in the scorching heat, but his mind was locked in a dark and cold ice cellar.

Zhang Lan walked out at some point and said loudly: "The weather is hot, you should be more active in your work, the above gives the news that there is a large demonstration organization in the People's Square today, and two people should go over to report." ”

On such a hot day, the temperature outside is already more than thirty-seven years old, hang a big camera outside, keep taking pictures under the scorching sun, it is estimated that you will have to stay up outside for a day. In the face of such high temperatures, exposed to such a scorching sun, you have to shed several layers of skin if you don't die.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads and prepared to get busy with the work at hand, "Let Xiao Zhang go." Takahashi said seriously, "It just so happens that he doesn't have anything else to do now, and the others are still busy." ”

Zhang Lan looked at Zhang Yongzheng with a dull face, if he had been expelled before, the only thing he could use now was his relationship with Song Guoqiang. Since he is still working in the company, he must be given a job, "Xiao Zhang, this opportunity is very good, this is big news." Holding demonstrations in this city is not a trivial matter, you have to go to the serious investigation, take serious pictures, and the news will be handed over to you. ”

Zhang Yongzheng has no way to say that he can't go, just because the leader lets him go to work, he must go, not to mention his current dispensable situation. Carrying a heavy camera, dragging a lonely figure, pulling a long shadow in the scorching sun, the weak figure is about to be swallowed up by the heat wave of the city.

People's Square is located in the center of Shanghai, of course, it is a symbol of Shanghai's culture and commerce, and it also represents the city of Shanghai. How could a city that used to have a prosperous life march in such a sensitive center today, and what is it for? Along the way, Zhang Yongzheng was thinking about this matter, and the moment he stepped out of the subway entrance of People's Square, everything was clear at a glance, and a white banner with big black characters written on it: "Catch the butterfly-faced monster alive and give us a safe life". To explain everything, it turns out that today's demonstration is to crusade against this butterfly-faced monster who has brought disaster to the city, a bad guy who has just listened to some reports that have come out of nowhere, and is defined as a bad guy who should be killed 10,000 times. Zhang Yongzheng's hands trembled uncontrollably, his eyes became more and more harsh, and he really wanted to tear off these banners, and then teach these people who have no opinions and will only add chaos to them. How much I hate this city in my heart now, and how much I hate the people who live in this city. Endure the hard way and raise the camera to take pictures of these. Now the mood is not so sad, but with a trace of hatred and resentment, I want to see what kind of demonstrations this group of ignorant masses will have.

Heavy steps to the People's Park, originally this is a place for parents to give their children a blind date, but today there is no blind date. However, there were several times more crowded people than usual, all with anger written on their faces, holding all kinds of small white flags in their hands and writing a variety of slogans. The butterfly-faced monsters that were all being hotly discussed were even more insulting, as if they were living the way they are now, all caused by this unmasked butterfly-faced monster. Or maybe the Butterfly-Faced Monster did all the bad things to their family, and even beat them and threatened them.

The sun is scorching, and the temperature has risen a little. One by one, they discussed fiercely, sweating profusely, and they couldn't see their exhaustion, but they scolded more and more energetically, and they wanted to vent all the grievances accumulated in this city on this butterfly-faced monster. It's really a sin that you want to add, and there is no excuse for it. Zhang Yongzheng looked at the faces of these people, his whole body was full of anger, what do you know, just stand up and condemn me one by one and scold me, why are you? Human sins are just the most poisonous mouth, which can push you to the peak of praise and scold you into the boundless abyss, you can't be clean, your emotions are easy to fluctuate, and in such a monstrous momentum, you will soon lose yourself.

More and more people are gathering in the People's Park, and the momentum is already very huge. At ten o'clock, as if all the people had agreed to the agreement, they began to hold up banners, shouting "Eradicate the butterfly-faced monster, return me to safety", and all rushed to the intersection of the Jiujiang River and marched towards the Huangpu River. The Jiujiang Road leading to the Huangpu River was blocked by all the police and no vehicles were allowed to pass through, and today the road has become a battlefield for justice and a stable city life. A long procession, under the scorching sun, was sunburned all over, and the slogans were not so neat and loud, but turned into a low voice. Not long after walking, maybe it was too hot, and the team was not neat, they all slowed down, but it was messy, and the signs that were originally held high were also hanging on the ground, dragging them. It was originally a short road, but according to the momentum of the parade at the beginning, it could be crossed in just ten minutes. Half an hour passed, and only half of the way was walked, probably because the sun was too scorching, so that the originally huge team turned into wilted eggplants, and they all hung their heads down. After marching for a while, some people began to complain quietly, "I knew I wouldn't have come" "Yes, three hundred yuan to walk around, I didn't expect the weather to be so hot" "Yes, what kind of fun are you coming to, what kind of grudge does this butterfly-faced monster have against me?" "Don't say anything, cheer up, and go home to rest after walking around." ”

After complaining to each other for a while, they stood up one after another to see that it was a march, and symbolically shouted a few times, "Arrest the butterfly-faced monster, give me a safe life". The large army continued to move, and the momentum was once again huge, but it looked a little bit like a paper tiger. The line was stretched, and the momentum was not weakened by the scorching sun, but these people muttered in their hearts. The procession, which had regained momentum, rushed to the Bund in one go. The Bund is a landmark of the city, and if you haven't been to the Bund, you haven't really entered the city. Regardless of the scorching sun or the pouring rain, the Bund is full of people at all times. The parade crowd marched into the Bund and began to gather to take pictures, so that the whole city knew how much they hated the Butterfly-faced Monster.

"I really didn't expect so many people to gather, it seems that you are all warriors who are not afraid of death. A word that was not uttered loudly smelled cold in the hot air.

The marchers stopped their hands and looked for the point of sound together. Across the road, a figure in a black coat and a butterfly mask appeared, exuding an atmosphere that was hotter than a heat wave.

"There are fewer and fewer warriors who are not afraid of death, and I admire you so much that I have decided to give you a gift to show my affection for you. The dark shadow's slightly soft voice made everyone feel a cold wind behind them. A long steel knife was held in his right hand, and he leapt down and fell to the ground.

The sudden arrival of the enemy made everyone wonder what to do. The only thing that kept some vigilance was the police, who were originally trying to maintain the demonstration and order in the streets today, and more than a dozen policemen sensed the danger coming, and immediately rushed forward and surrounded the butterfly-faced monster with batons. With a light step, the Butterfly-Faced Monster slashed at the police officer who stepped forward with his knife, and then kicked the other officer out of the air. The butterfly-faced monster is not an idle person, and there are more than a dozen people left who rush up to suppress the enemy with the advantage of being outnumbered. The butterfly-faced monster brandished a steel knife to block several muffled sticks, followed the light body to avoid blows continuously, turned around and kicked a few policemen, followed the steel knife in his hand to reverse the blade and turned into the back of the knife, knocking all the remaining policemen to the ground in a few strokes.

Butterfly-faced kicked away the police officer who had fainted on the ground, and walked over step by step, "Have you really seen me? Why did you decide that I was bad, based on the unsubstantiated stories told on the Internet yesterday, or did I say that I did something sorry for everyone you marched here?" Since you're so eager to judge me as a bad guy, I'm going to show you what a bad guy looks like?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Yongzheng stopped taking steps, and judged himself to be a heinous villain without any basis, but who else did he know here. The answer to the question given by the butterfly-faced monster that appeared is exactly the answer that Zhang Yongzheng wants now, but these people will only follow the trend and hype, and they will only do some things that they think will not harm them if they are greedy for a little cheapness, what kind of answer can they give. A group of people all remained silent, watching the danger approach, no one gave an answer, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.

The huge procession, under the scorching sun, was now extinguished by a man wearing a butterfly mask. The butterfly-faced monster asked everyone to crouch with their heads in their hands, dragged one person out of the crowd, made him kneel, looked at all the rest of the people who were squatting with their heads bowed under the scorching sun, and said, "Give me an answer, or not." The steel knife nailed the palm of the kneeling man to the ground.

A long, miserable cry made the scorching air even hotter. However, the procession was even more silent, highlighting the bullying of the shouts.

Zhang Yongzheng kept clenching his hands, whether to make a move or not, after thinking about it, he still couldn't let anyone get hurt here. Just about to step out, he was grabbed by a hand, "Sure enough, it's you, Xiaozheng still let me deal with it." ”

You don't have to look back to know whose voice it is, "Why are you here too?"

"I wanted to come and see why such a huge demonstration was happening, but I didn't expect it to happen. You probably forgot all about your previous kung fu foundation, or I'll do it. Hurry up and find a way to notify the police, and my sister will be handed over to you for protection. ”

"What?" Zhang Yongzheng turned around and saw Lin Xiandui squatting beside Lin Huayu in a red tight top accompanied by a dark blue denim.

Lin Xianwan showed a charming smile, stretched out her slender hand and said, "I didn't expect you to come over, you should stay here to protect me." ”

Zhang Yongzheng said with a look of disgust: "Your pungent temper has come up, no one has been spared within a radius of ten miles, and it is incredible that you want me to protect you." ”

"Hehe," Lin Xianwan laughed a little more gloomy, "Then stay and I'll protect you." Then he dragged Zhang Yongzheng to his side.

Lin Huayu suddenly stood up and said indifferently: "Let me tell you, your strength is far stronger than ordinary people, no matter how many disadvantages or benefits you can bring to this city." But for the relatively weak ordinary people who live quietly in this city, you are always a big threat, and no matter what, you can't exist in such a city. We have our own ability to make the city a better place, and for an uncertain factor like you, and an uncontrollable character, it is better to disappear into the best outcome. ”
