23 Ice Man?
"Knock knock knock. There was a knock at the door of the ram's workshop. "Could it be Haoming?" Xixi turned to look at Mante pacing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. "It's unlikely. Asuka, send Xixi to the back room, and Noji goes to open the door. Mante's suspicions are not unreasonable, after all, there is still a distance from Limin Town, and I will only be back in two hours, which is really unlikely.
Capricorn, who was still changing the medicine for Xixi, straightened his eyes that were not commensurate with his burly figure, and after answering, he put Xixi on his back and walked towards the iron gate. Mante sat down calmly on the couch, and Noji saw that Azuka and Xixi had left the main room, so he walked towards the door. "It's Haoming. Noggie turned his head and said, as if asking Mante's opinion.
"Open the door. Mante said lightly, his deep eyes full of wariness. The door opened, and I scurried in, Noggie staring at me for a few seconds like he had done last time.
"Is it her classmate?" "It's for sure, although the guy named Xianjiong is very smart, but he is very timid, and he is seriously inexperienced in society, so he has no vigilance at all. As I passed across the street from Xixi's house, I noticed that they were just there, and interestingly, the two of them were unaware of me. After I tied them up, I cheated two sentences and Hyun Jiong did all the tricks, but there was one thing I didn't expect. I paused and sat down at the couch, my tone of composure and steadiness seemed beyond Mante's expectations, and his face that resembled an awl carved out of a sharp knife was full of wonder and anticipation.
"yes, what's that?" he pulled his hands from his armpits and placed them squarely on his knees, sweat stains from his palms to his trousers. "Xixi's grandmother was arrested, the reason should be to assist in the investigation, it seems that she will be under house arrest for a period of time, this is unexpected, there has never been a case of arresting the relatives of criminals to help solve the case, is this a common thing?"
"It's normal here, just like the ancient human system of joint sitting, but ours is more humane, and there is no torture and conviction of the same crime. Manji nodded, "You just said that Xixi's two classmates were tied up by you, did you do it alone?" "Oh, Jeet Kune Do. He looked as if he had heard of it, "There is one more thing, it only took more than an hour to go back and forth from dedication to Li Min Town, how did you do it?" "Roof!?"
"This plan is simply playing with fire and setting himself on fire!" Wu Dafan looked at the police car in the distance, still holding the front page of the morning newspaper in his hand. "If that kid doesn't take good care of Xixi, I'll beat him up!" Wu Dafan said as he walked towards the rest stop and waved his fist at the air. In the train rest station in Limin Town, her face was dressed in a slightly modified Tang costume against the hair tied with wooden felt, the wooden planks of the rest station could not block the heat in the air, the weight of the Tang costume added a little sweat to her, and her cheeks were red because of the stuffiness, and the slanting sun cast by the window looked extremely charming.
"I'm sorry, I closed early today, I can stay in the hotel, and I have to eat tomorrow. She said without raising her head, her eyelashes curled up slightly, and her bewitching eyes were staring intently at the ledger on the counter, and she stood in front of the counter, waving her right hand on the ledger quickly. The face naturally didn't know that the figure that had been standing at the door for a long time was not because it was unfamiliar and didn't dare to take a step forward for a long time. "Ahem, it's me. Wu Dafan hurriedly closed his stunned gaze, and the moment he stood at the door, he was fascinated by the silhouette of his face.
"Oh?" said "I said you, why didn't you say anything for a long time?" "Have I been standing for a long time? Wu Dafan tried his best to hide that the self-esteem given by his machismo allowed him to die a good death. "Hehe, why, stop work so early today?" his face was beaming, and the flush on his face became even more widespread. Wu Dafan, like himself, is still single in his thirties.
"Oh, I saw Xixi's headlines, it's because of this that the boss has reduced our working hours every day. Wu Dafan found a chair and sat down by himself, "I'll just say that my mother-in-law's plan is one thing, and it's another thing to do, you don't believe it, you see, the last two people in their family have been accompanied." Perhaps because of nervousness, Wu Dafan's words today seemed a little verbose.
The face squinted at Wu Dafan, she knew that Wu Dafan was a little weak-hearted, he had been in a town for more than ten years, and he knew almost everything about his personality. There was a burst of joy on his face, but then he quickly calmed down: "I think their plan is impeccable. If it weren't for the speed at which the information system was updated, it might have been successful. "But the problem is that it didn't work out. "That's right, where did so many ifs come from. The face buried his head again, "Do you want something to drink? Wu Dafan also turned to the door with a sideways face: "It's something else... ”
"Crappy cow, you've finally woken up, you can really sleep!" Xianjiong laboriously untied the hemp rope on Qi Yechuan's body. "Hiss-what's wrong with me?" Qi Yechuan sat up straight and moved his shoulder, "When did I fall asleep, damn, my shoulder hurts." Xianjiong secretly said in his heart that your memory is really bad enough, your shoulder hurts, I hit it twice, can it not hurt?"You don't remember anything?" "Uh... I don't remember. Qi Yechuan thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"I've got you. An elbow strike can get you a night's sleep. Hyun Jiong looked at the sky, "Let's go, it will be dawn in a while, and I will tell you the ins and outs of your fainting in a moment." "You mean I've been tied up all night?" Qi Yechuan ran up to keep up with Hyun Jiong, who had already taken a few steps. "I'll tell you when I go back. ”
I slowly opened my eyes, and the pale sheets glowed with the white light of the sun reflecting my retina. According to Mante, there weren't many beds in the workshop, so Xixi and I had to be placed in a charity house for the homeless. I don't care, but Xixi seems to be a little prejudiced here. "Stink, stinky, stinky!" she sniffed vigorously at her short-sleeved pajamas (which I bought with the money from a false loan), "all of them smelled of coaxing!" "Aren't you unclean?" and forgot to wash your feet when you slept in the hotel. I lay lazily on my bed and looked at her, only two feet wide between her bed and mine.
"That's different, don't you dislike the smell of others?" "Dislike, why don't you dislike it." Xixi's willow eyebrows were almost squeezed together in front of her forehead, and her mouth was very cute. "Then you still sleep so soundly?" "What can I do? You and I are both wanted criminals now, and the accommodation conditions in the future may be worse than this, so we have to get used to it slowly, don't we?"
"Oh. Xixi was treated as an ignorant child by what I said, and sat on the bed and lowered her head embarrassedly. "Get up, I've got some things to ask Uncle Mante when I'm done washing. "Hmm. ”
The night before, Mante left before the conversation was over because of work. Noggi didn't seem to be good at words, and I didn't know the rest of my men, so it seemed awkward to sit in the living room, so I read the newspaper idly.
When I saw the newspaper for the first time, I was shocked, the headline was actually the wanted warrant for me and Xixi, and the two hand-drawn sketches were actually drawn like real people. I never thought that wanted warrants would make the headlines of the morning newspaper in this world, and I guess there aren't many anecdotes in this place to publish in the newspaper. The news that followed, in my words, was bloody: Ice Man helped the police solve a bank robbery. Underneath the caption is a colorful photograph of a man wrapped in a navy-blue motorcycle leather jacket standing on top of a police car, his motorcycle helmet framed over his head to conceal his identity, a bow in his left hand, and an ice arrow wrapped in cold air on the string drawn in his right hand. I took a closer look, it was indeed an ice arrow, the whole arrow was pure ice, and the arrow looked sharper than in the costume film, but this is not the point, the cold air of this ice arrow that seems to have been carefully carved is faintly visible, just like the stone dragon coiled on the gate post of the Forbidden City winding around the ice arrow, it feels like a special effect, but it is very real.
Just looking at the photo that only showed the sideways, I felt embarrassed. What kind of Ice Man? I've seen too many Marvel movies, right? This Nima news style is like introducing superheroes to save the world, not to mention the rhetoric is too flowery, and the depiction is also very exaggerated. I rubbed my temples and tossed the newspaper aside, am I crazy or is the editorial office crazy? Why are there superheroes in this place?
Nuoji arranged for me and Xixi to have breakfast on the relatively quiet second floor, and when the bread and milk were ready, I asked Xixi, who was sitting next to me, "You guys are still superheroes here?" "Oh, you also read the newspaper?" Xixi picked up a knife and prepared to cut bread, "Sort of, there are some differences from the old movies, I used to hear my grandfather say that if it sounds good, it is a superhero, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a science monster." "Science monsters? Indeed, how many of Americans' superheroes are capable of not being derived from scientific research?
"It seems that I still need to know a lot about you here. I followed her example and cut a piece of bread and stuffed it into my mouth.
