9. He harms
Qi Ji went to the bag in the car and found a cigarette, and wanted to light it for Brother Long, but the rain was a little lighter, and it was easy to say when the cigarette was lit: "Brother Long is angry." We're just a small town here, so if you don't want anything, don't I go out to make a living. Thanks to Brother Situ and Brother Long, you can see my craftsmanship, give me a face, don't embarrass our villagers, they are all honest people. Timid. β
Qi Ji took a hard puff of his cigarette and slowly spit it out.
Long Jiu took a few puffs and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. In the end, he said: "Forget it, my brother's matter will not be investigated, even if they are unlucky, Brother Situ got a car last time and came back to you, you won't go, and the other masters are all nondescript Brother Situ is not happy, do you have time to go over and have a look?"
"It's a matter of one word, I'll go tomorrow, he's going to put that tail back on, isn't it? Qi Ji nodded.
"Let's go!" Long Jiu was still selling Qi Ji's face, patted him on the shoulder, and threw the cigarette butt to the ground at will.
Lu Li also let go of the person in his hand, the person was pressed hard, and as soon as he was released, he hit Lu Li's chest with his elbow. Lu Li took a sullen punch and was taken away by the man by the hair.
In fact, Lu Li was grateful to Qi Ji in his heart.
At least he can let Uncle Guang and Mother Qin and them all be well implicated.
This man always helped him when he was at his most desperate, but I don't know if I would ever get a chance to thank him again......
Lu Li's hair was torn painfully, and he snorted uncomfortably.
He also thought it was ridiculous, he used to have a random watch in his hand worth hundreds of thousands, but now for such a small amount of money, he didn't know what he would become.
There is no way to go. He didn't expect any more.
"Wait!" Lu Li was quickly escorted into Long Jiu's van.
Qi Ji, who had been standing in the rain, shouted.
"Brother Long, how much does he have to pay you back this month?" Qi Ji said a word, making everyone look at him.
"Qi Ji, you're crazy, he's Lu Jingyun's bastard son!" It was Uncle Guang who spoke, and he was still being pulled by others and desperately pinpointed.
Qi Ji walked over and patted Uncle Guang on the shoulder, and took out a stack of cash from his waist bag.
Long Jiu looked at Lu Li thoughtfully: "This kid was in a lawsuit against his dad at that time, and Brother Situ borrowed the money for the sake of knowing his dad, and the interest was all internal friendship price, but this kid is too ignorant, and he will disappear for us before the money is repaid!"
"How much. Qi Ji's voice was a few degrees colder.
Lu Li was very uncomfortable being grabbed by the hair, but he still raised his head to look at Qi Ji.
Qi Ji's eyes were cold, and he looked at him like a wild dog that was about to starve to death.
That expression Lu Li looked uncomfortable.
"Are you really nosy?" asked Long Jiu.
"How much?"
β5000γ Long Jiu could see that Qi Ji was defending Lu Li. And the stack of money in Qi Ji's hand is enough for this month's interest.
Qi Ji laughed when he heard the numbers, and directly stuffed the money to Long Jiu with a lot of ease: "Brother Situ is really a good person, and it's really an internal friendship price." Today I just happened to go out and collect a circle of money, less than six or seven thousand, more filial piety to Brother Long. The small place still needs to be covered by Brother Long. β
The little brother who grabbed Lu Li took the money and handed it to Long Jiu, who counted it and was quite satisfied with the number. Compared with taking Lu Li back and not getting any benefit for himself, it is better to take the money back, and the extra oil and water can be held by himself. What's more, his boss still needs Qi Ji to do things for him.
Long Jiu is a smart man, give the little brother a look, and the person pushed Lu Li out fiercely. Lu Li's whole body hurt, he couldn't stand, and fell straight beside Qi Ji.
Qi Ji didn't look at him squarely. went over and patted Brother Long on the shoulder, and watched enthusiastically as people got into the van.
The loan sharks are gone. The group of people standing in front of the food stall seemed to be able to breathe at last.
Uncle Guang dropped the stool and ran next door to see Qin's mother, Lu Li heard Qin's mother crying, Uncle Guang comforted her awkwardly, saying that he would help her repair the glass on the counter tomorrow.
The villagers who had eaten all went back to the house, and someone found that Old Man Hong was holding his chest and looking bad, so Qi Ji rushed over to take a look. Fortunately, the old man didn't have a big deal, and he eased up after a few sips of hot tea.
Lu Li only felt as if his whole body had lost his strength, and he didn't get up from the ground after trying several times. Maybe he didn't know how to face Qi Ji, Uncle Guang, Qin's mother, Master Hong, and the people in the town after he got up.
Qin's mother's crying made him feel uncomfortable, and Uncle Guang's cursing voice while comforting him also made Lu Li uncomfortable.
Someone walked up behind him and pulled him up with one hand. "Go upstairs and take a shower and change your clothes, you don't have to come down to work. β
Qi Ji let go, he almost fell to the ground again, and finally slowly walked in the direction of the garage.
Lu Li had never felt so ashamed of himself.
Lu Li locked himself in the bathroom for a long time.
The pot of hot water slowly became cold, and the injuries on his body went from piercing pain to then slowly numb, and his ears were always Uncle Guang's fierce words before: "He caused it." β
Lu Li's mother gave birth to him and left. Lu Li's single name is a word of departure, which means to leave. It was his birth that left his mother forever. Dad never said it, but every time Lu Li saw his father looking at the photos of his mother before his death and drinking all night long, he knew that he was the one who harmed him.
There was once a beautiful young woman who almost became his stepmother, and she flattered him in every possible way, buying him lots of toys and making lots of delicious food. Father asked him, is it okay to let her be your mother? Ten years old Lu Li didn't move, he could only shake his head and cry. Later, Lu Li learned that on the day the young woman and her father went to pick a wedding ring, he suddenly had appendicitis. Dad and the woman stayed in the hospital for three days, and Dad asked him for the last time, is it okay to let Auntie be your mother? At that time, Lu Li was in pain, crying and saying that he wanted his mother. The woman never appeared in his house again. Many years later, Lu Li met a woman who was still single at the cocktail party, but the charm was not there. The woman has a successful career, and when it comes to Lu Li's illness, the woman just said coldly: "The closest I have come to happiness in my life was destroyed by you." "Yes, women are actually very good, and Dad has always been lonely. Lu Li knew that he was the one who harmed him.
Lu Li came out for a man, and his father didn't speak. Lu Li, who was afraid of his father since he was a child, was even more afraid of his father's silence. "Dad, Jiahao and I are sincere, and I am willing to die for him. Lu Li five years ago was naΓ―ve, but that sentence was indeed sincere. Dad slapped him and only said, "You give me a good life." "I never cared who he was with or what he was doing. Dad was charged with various crimes, and in the indictment, Lu Li saw Deng Jiahao and his father's names. Many of the testimonies were told by Lu Li himself. At that time, in the courtroom, Dad just looked at him sitting in the audience lightly. Lu Li tried to keep his composure in front of countless cameras, but his heart had already been shattered - yes, maybe he was the victim.
The past comes back to me one by one.
Lu Li felt that he was crying, because his face was wet, and he couldn't breathe from crying.
How did I ruin my life?
That's an ironic answer.
Qi Ji calmed down Qin's mother and them, and called the mayor of the town to ask Xuan Xuan to sleep there, and he would send his schoolbag to school tomorrow. The matter here can't be hidden from the mayor, Qi Ji said a few words simply. The mayor was silent for a long time.
Qi Ji went back to the garage and couldn't find Lu Li, and there was no movement in the bathroom upstairs, the door was not closed, Qi Ji saw that Lu Li was wearing clothes, and the whole person was soaked in the big pool of bathing, he seemed to be asleep, and his head was immersed in the water.
"You're going to fucking die, and you're going to die again!" Qi Ji was shocked.
A loud roar pulled the man up. Lu Li choked on water, coughed twice, and then woke up.
"I ...... Ahem...... Fell asleep. β
"Why don't you sleep and die?!" The fire in Qi Ji's stomach finally burst out.
A loud roar made Lu Li frown, and his body shrunk - it was very cold and painful.
Qi Ji finished roaring, knowing that he had to go out now, otherwise he would really beat up Lu Li, who was a wolf.
His heart was complicated, he knew that this person was a hot potato, but when he saw Lu Li being pulled into the car, he instinctively wanted to save him. I knew that this person was staying here for a day like β‘β‘. But Qi Ji had unknowingly modified a car for Situ and them, he knew how loan sharks dealt with debtors who couldn't pay yet, and he couldn't help but be nosy when he thought that Lu Li was going to be dragged to sell his organs or do those despicable things.
Now Lu Li is in the pool of his house, and he is injured, and Qi Ji doesn't know what to do next.
After a long time, Qi Ji sighed and turned on the shower. The sound of the water heater jumping up is heard.
The water was sprinkled on Lu Li's body, so it was a little warm. Qi Ji said lightly: "Take a shower and come out, I'll give you medicine." β
When he came out of the bathroom, the door closed very loudly.
The sliding door of the house was wide open.
Qi Ji sat at the door, listening to the sound of rain outside, and smoked a cigarette.
"Here's to you. Lu Li came out of the shower, took out the black bag, took out a watch and handed it to Qi Ji. "This watch was bought for more than 30,000 yuan, many years, but it is a limited edition, and it should still sell for seven or eight thousand now. β
Lu Li's voice was hoarse.
Qi Ji ignored him and didn't take the watch, Lu Li could only continue: "I'm sorry for today's incident, I'll leave." β
Lu Li still put the watch aside on Xuanxuan's desk.
"You keep me here honestly!" Qi Ji shouted sullenly. Finally, there was a move: "You can't pick up your shoulders and can't lift them, where are you going to harm people? Ah? You scared Qin's mother like that, you patted your ass and left, do you still have a conscience?
Qi Ji was still angry.
"......" Qi Ji's question Lu Li couldn't answer a word.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Lu Li muttered.
"What's the use of talking this nonsense now?! You sue me first, Brother Long will come to you next month, what are you going to use to repay the money? Qi Ji lit another cigarette. When he turned his head and saw Lu Li, he didn't know what to say in his mouth, and put out the cigarette.
"Maybe sell organs? Or, sell them, a lot of rich people on the other side like to sleep like me. Lu Li laughed at himself.
He saw Qi Ji looking at him with cold eyes: "A person with no ambition like you, if I were rich, I would definitely sleep with you!"
Lu Li knew that Qi Ji was counting him down, self-esteem, and that kind of thing, in the past few months, he had already thrown away little by little: "If you want, I can sleep with you." β
Lu Li's voice was silent. Qi Ji suddenly stood up.
He had never seen Qi Ji look like this, and he took a few steps closer to Lu Li with disappointment and malice.
Lu Li instinctively stepped back, bumped into the edge of the bed, and sat down.
Qi Ji could see that the calmness in Lu Li's eyes was all pretended-
"I took off my clothes and went to bed and lay on my stomach. β
"Good. Lu Li replied briskly, but his hands were shaking when he took off his shirt.
He bit his lip tightly, and his red eyes looked at Qi Ji.
There was silence for a long time, only the sound of Lu Li silently undressing and the breathing of the two people.
Finally-
"What are you looking at, rubbing medicine and wine for you! You have to go to work tomorrow, you still owe so much money, and you are going to pretend to be sick and lazy?"
Qi Ji yelled. Lu Li's appearance like this made Qi Ji's heart even more uncomfortable.
Lu Li was actually seriously injured behind him, with a long bruise and purple strip.
When Qi Ji pressed it, Lu Li would be in pain and grabbed the sheets fiercely.
"This bone-setting medicinal wine is prepared by your Uncle Guang, it is particularly useful, and the bruises will melt tomorrow. Bear it with yourself, it's lucky that you don't break your bones. Qi Ji was a little distressed, and his tone was softer.
Lu Li sweated in pain, and he didn't gnaw all the time.
Qi Ji really felt that he probably owed Lu Li a lot of money in his previous life, and as soon as this person suffered, his heart softened, and he didn't know when the qi he had blocked in his heart before disappeared. What he was paying attention to now was Lu Li's skin. This person is dressed in good skin, and it really feels like what Xuan Xuan said, smooth and tender. That Long Jiu who killed a thousand knives!
Outside, the rain was dripping.
The sound of the waves was knocking one after another.
"Ah......" Qi Ji helped him wipe the wound on his waist, and Lu Li couldn't help but finally called out.
Qi Ji wanted to distract him and asked him, "How much money do you still owe?"
"About 130,000. β
"I pay you 5,000 a month, and I pay you 800 a month. Hum. Young Master Lu, I feel that you have no hope of repaying. Qi Ji's tone was a little more relaxed. The movements of the hands could not be more gentle.
"Long Jiu said that you borrowed more than 1 million from them?"
"Hmm. β
ββ¦β¦β
The medicinal liquor on his back melted, as if it had been sucked in by the cells in his body. It doesn't hurt so much, it's hot.
Lu Li's mind was much quieter. He also knew that the person who was helping him with the medicine saved him again.
"That watch was bought for my dad when I made my first money. I haven't seen my mother since I was a child, and my father was very fond of me when I was a child, but when I grew up, he became more and more alienated from me and was very strict with me. I always wanted to prove something to him, so to make the first money, I bought this for him. Never saw him wear it. β
"Hmm. β
"Eight months ago, he was suddenly taken away. I went to see him, and I said I would definitely raise money to help him find the best lawyer. At that time, my dad was so angry that he asked me to change cities, find a job, and live a good life, leave him alone. I didn't listen to him at the time...... The lawyer's fee to defend my dad is calculated in tens of thousands of dollars per hour. I sold everything I had secretly taken out of my house, and I still didn't have enough money to hire a lawyer. I searched for all of my father's former friends and business associates, and some promised to help him, but in the end, there was no news. You know, that's when I suddenly realized that I was a piece of shit. I couldn't have done anything without my dad. And as it turned out, my dad was always right, I spent so much money to hire a lawyer, and then I lost the case again and again. When the final judgment came down, I didn't dare to face him, I felt that it was my incompetence that prevented me from saving him. He's innocent, maybe you don't like him, but I know him, he's innocent......"
ββ¦β¦ Didn't you borrow more than a million yuan? How could you repay it to only 130,000 yuan? You are not useless......" Qi Ji responded, softly, comforting him.
Lu Li didn't speak for a long time, and then said, "When I was born, my father's career was just starting. We live in a residential building in the city. The head of the house has always been my mother, and after my mother passed away, we lived somewhere else. At that time, my dad knew that I had helped him find a lawyer to borrow money, and scolded me severely, and he knew that I couldn't exchange money, so he asked me to sell the house for money. The house has been unoccupied for a long, long time, and my dad said that he still thinks that he will be lucky enough to live until he is released from prison and can go back to live ......"
"You mortgaged it to Situ?" Qi Ji felt Lu Li's body tremble a little. He pulled the quilt over and covered Lu Li. Rubbing his hair, he asked gently.
"It hasn't been seized, and it can't be sold, so I can only mortgage it to Situ...... He said there was a way to exchange money...... It's just not enough for me to borrow the numbers......" Lu Li's voice became softer and softer. Qi Ji's hands were covered with calluses, but he was so gentle when he was on him, and it was so comfortable when he rubbed his head. Lu Li curled up together, his body was very tired, and his thoughts were getting more and more blurred.
"130,000, one year interest is ...... Uh, 6w?200,000 a year. You've got to earn it in a month, uh...... More than 10,000 ......" Qi Ji's math is not very good, and he thought about a few numbers in his mind for a long time: "I said, anyway, it is not impossible for you to work hard from scratch." It shouldn't be done in a year, but in two years. I'll help you find another job to do, it's not that hard. By the way, what did you do before your father's accident?
"Investment...... Consultant. β
"Consultant, what is the one who takes the money for nothing?"
"Heh......" Lu Li smiled softly.
"Hey, it looks like a dad is taking money for nothing. Let's sleep today, and we'll think about what to do tomorrow. β
"Hmm......"
β¦β¦
Lu Li buried half of his face in the quilt and breathed evenly.
Qi Ji took his hand off Lu Li's head, straightened the bangs covering his face, and looked at the person who was slightly undulating up and down for a long, long time.
- "I can't help it. β
Qi Ji went to close the sliding door. I went to Xuanxuan's desk and got a few pieces of waste paper, a pen and a calculator for elementary school students.
Sitting on the ground, leaning on the edge of Lu Li's bed, listening to Lu Li's breathing, writing and painting all night.
β¦β¦
