"Brother," Xia called out to me, his voice was very soft, and I hurriedly responded, "What's wrong." ”

"You look at the store, I'll go back. ”

"I'll stay with you. "I'm afraid that Xia will do something stupid, and I don't worry about her going out by herself, what if the man comes back to retaliate against Xia.

"It's okay, I just want to rest, or I'll sit here. It could be seen that Xia was very tired and didn't want to move, so he sat on the ground along the counter, holding his legs with his hands, burying his head in it, shrinking like a piece of paper, eager to get into the crack in the wall.

There was no violent breathing, no choked crying, only quiet, I was not at ease, I touched Xia's head with my hand, thinking about comforting, Xia buried her head deeper, avoiding my touch, I wanted to hand Xia a bottle of water, but I knew that she wouldn't drink it.

I also squatted down and poked Natsu's knee, Natsu raised his head, "What's wrong?" What should have been me asking was said by Natsu first, Natsu had no tears, no joy and sorrow, no anger, no emotion.

"Don't think about it, I'll give you the money you don't need. ”

"Why? Did your money come from the wind? Why do you give it? With that, Xia stood up, walked to the faucet, washed his face, and walked slowly to the counter like an old man in his twilight years, inhaling sharply, spitting out, sucking again, spitting out, back and forth several times.

I looked at Xia like a kindergarten kid who was crying because he lost a dime, but Xia didn't cry, and I didn't know how to comfort him.

Xia took out his mobile phone and pressed it down one key at a time, "Hey, sister, you said last time you were going to rent a house, and I found you the land, can you come and take a look?" Xia's face was like a switch, and the moment the other party answered the phone, his sad face became happy in seconds, and he announced the good news to the other party in a light tone.

"Are you free now? Come on, I'm working at Yanye's bar. Xia's expression began to look forward to it, looking forward to the arrival of the other party in a hurry, who was the other party, how could he have the wonderful ability to change Xia's mood in a second.

Xia took advantage of the arrival of the man and broadcast a few more phone calls, and the content of the conversation was the same.

"Brother, I'm Dongzi. ”

"yes, it's a holiday. ”

"Brother's business is so good, do you need help?"

"What I have is available, and I am always available. ”

"Then you need to call me, I'll go. Xia's face was full of anticipation and smile, and the person who answered the phone must have felt it.

It's only been fifteen minutes since Xia came out of the house of the man who stole her money, and Xia's mood changed so quickly that I couldn't keep up.

The woman Xia called to invite came, sat at the counter, and accosted me, and I didn't say a word, "He's a mute." Natsu pointed at me and explained.

I smiled and nodded, wishing that this woman would leave quickly, what was sprayed on her body, like a biological weapon, I really couldn't stand it, I wanted to suffocate to death every minute, there was a wonderful feeling of rotten eggs and stinky tofu.

"Sister, the perfume smells so good. Xia praised, indeed, there is really no place for praise on the face of the sister in Xia's mouth, and there is no decoration on the finger cover, so I have to write up and down the perfume, Xia, how did you open the exit.

"Sister, don't you want to rent a room? There is one on the westernmost part of the second floor, let me say hello to you." "That's Xia's house, so where does she live?

"Sister, if you live, you can live in it tomorrow, the place where you live is far away and far away, and there is no good man who can't find my sister, and it's close here, there are hotels everywhere before and after, and there are hair shops. ”

Xia's mouth, when he sees people talking about people, he talks about ghosts, and when he sees people who are not careful, he also praises as if he has smeared honey.

The woman who rented the house was obviously dissatisfied with Xia's price, "It's so expensive, it's just such a place, it's crazy to think about money." ”

"Sister, who doesn't know this place, how many people know the place where you live, and besides, my sister is so good and beautiful, it's not just a point to earn back. ”

"Then if it's so easy for you to say, I'll give you all those people, and you can earn it. ”

Xia smiled and greeted, and said, "Sister, how can I do it, look at my face, the eyebrows are thicker than the fingers, and the face is longer than the soles of the shoes, how can I do it, my sister looks like eighteen, and I look like twenty-eight." Xia was also very hard-working, and then Xia pointed at me and asked, "I don't believe you can ask the dumb people in our store." ”

I was a little confused, nodded in agreement, and after that, Xia praised Xia sweetly again and again, from four hundred five to four hundred, and rented out his own house. You won't be able to see the money until the end of the month.

"Where do you live?" I asked.

"There is a place. Xia said.

The incident just now passed, Xia took out a piece of paper and counted his accounts, I think Xia is a little stupid, I lost so much money, why don't I ask the police for help, I walked over and seriously suggested to Xia, "Xia, you should report the case." ”

Xia stopped the pen in his hand, turned his head to look at me, like a mentally retarded, his eyes narrowed, his face was confused, and he issued an "ah" word, I repeated, "You can call the police, find the police if you have something." ”

"Well, you're right, it's a good idea. Xia looked down at his bill and nodded.

I was very happy to help a girl who was in trouble, and I was shocked that twenty-year-olds didn't even have this common sense. Natsu just nodded, accepted my suggestion, and didn't take any action, clicking on the computer to do his own calculations.

The wrong person is me, and it was a long time later, I learned from Xia's mouth that calling the police is useless, it is the stupidest solution, that night, the surface looks calm as water, we open a shop to sell wine, people come and go to drink, but in the alley, the women in the tube building are picking up customers, from time to time there are screams that make people's bodies hot, there are people in the bungalow playing cards, the amount is expensive, and there are people rubbing mahjong in the hall, their hands are stained with cigarettes, and their eyes are red waiting for their good luck. In the big street bars, there are singing and dancing, and many of the people who accompany the wine are minors.

As soon as Xia called the police, the shrill siren broke the quiet appearance, which would definitely make the whole block turbulent, and at that time, Xia would not only lose 10,000 yuan, but also invite countless disasters.

Thirty years of my life experience is useless here.

After closing, I followed Xia and said, "I'll send you back." ”

"What?" Natsu didn't seem to hear clearly, and looked back at me.

"I'll send you back. ”

"It's so close, no need. Xia simply rejected me.

"But, what if, I mean, that man comes back to you. ”

"No, he just came out and won't go in again. It seems that the man has just come out of prison, this kind of person must be out of touch with society, I am more worried about Xia's safety, and asked Xia "Is it really okay for you to be alone?"

"Yes, let's go. Xia waved his hand and rode away, leaving me alone to close the door.

I'm still worried, so when I walked downstairs to Xia's rented house, the lights in her house hadn't been turned on yet, so I waited for a while, but they hadn't turned on yet.

"Xia, where are you?"

"At home. ”

"I'm downstairs at your house, are you really home?"

"What?" Two seconds later, the lights in the room turned on, and a small head poked out to look at me below.

"I'm afraid that person will find you something, and I don't feel at ease. It's okay. I hung up and left, and I couldn't say a word about the unashamed noise in the whole building.

Xia later told me that the moment she got home, she lay on the bed and cried bitterly, and the moment she received my call, she was already crying and convulsing, and after answering my call, she was even more breathless from crying.

I parked the car in the underground garage, lay on the car, recalled today's scenes, there were too many things today, I didn't have any mental preparation, I was forced to take it in to experience a while, my stagnant life, suddenly began to make waves, began to worship.

For the first time in my life, I saw such a scene, a girl, carrying a knife, her eyes were firm, her eyes showed a fierce light, to find an explanation for herself, the other party was a ruffian who had just come out of it, but this did not affect the girl's violence, I closed my eyes and felt the sound of her swinging the knife ringing in my ears.

Tonight, without any suffocating depression surrounding me, I went home and sat quietly on the sofa thinking, this is my most normal day, I slept very early, very deeply, and very soundly.

Did Natsu sleep well?What would she do with her less money?Where would she move?I wanted to know, so I picked up my phone and asked her, "Good morning." ”

"What?"

"Good morning. ”

"Good. What's the matter?"

"I'm just asking you if you have anything to do at night, it was quite scary last night. ”

"Nope. ”

"Okay, are you moving today?" I asked.

"Hmm. ”

"Can you help?"

"Ahh ”

"I mean, do you need to help?"

"No, I'll finish it in the afternoon. I'm eating, I'm hanging. Xia hung up my phone after speaking.
