The weather was gloomy, and Lu Zizhen had just walked back into the alley of his rental house when he felt that something was wrong.

Someone was following him.

A sneer tugged at his lips and he didn't look back. Stopped, took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and continued walking.

After going out along the river for a long time, it did not wear out his acumen, and he knew that there were people following him behind him. It's just that I didn't know it was aimed at him.

The house he rented was at the end of this alley, a slum in the city. For nearly half a year. This place has been included in the scope of demolition. Residents in the neighborhood have moved away, and there are few residents left.

The people behind him followed all the way, and it was a bit far-fetched to say that it was a way.

He smoked a cigarette and walked slowly. When he reached the next fork in the road, he dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand and turned in.

Uninhabited, the dilapidated high fence on the side of the road is covered with moss. Unknown vines with slender leaves spread out of the gaps in the wall, casting a slight shadow.

He stood under the vines, smoking a cigarette nonchalantly, raising his wrist to watch the time. In less than three minutes, there was a gentle sound of footsteps coming from this side.

His eyes were full of gloom, but he was not in a hurry at all, and smoked a small half of the cigarette that was left. Waiting for the footsteps to approach, he extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand. With a quick move, he grabbed the neck of the man who came with him, and suddenly pushed him against the wall under the vines.

I don't know if it was hurt or frightened, the man screamed. Hands were on his hands that were holding his neck. In a panic, he looked up at him.

He wore a coat with a hat, which was worn on his head all the time. Lu Zizhen never saw his face clearly.

When he looked up, he realized that it was a woman who had been following him.

He was not surprised, the hand holding his neck did not let go, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out a cigarette from his pocket with one hand to light it, and then asked casually, "What are you doing with me?" ”

His hand around her neck did not relax, and the girl's face flushed. He stammered, "No, I didn't do anything." ”

The neck under the hands is slender. Just a slight pinch will break off.

Lu Ziji's hand moved, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Why did you follow me if you didn't do anything?" ”

"No, I didn't follow you. I'm dropping by. She was still stammering, and when she said the other way, she calmed down a little.

But Lu Ziji's hand did not let go, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of evil energy. The handsome face approached inch by inch, lowered his voice and said slowly: "Dare to follow me, do you know what I used to do?" ”

His voice was low and pleasant, and his dark eyes were staring directly at the girl. The face of the girl who was choked by his neck turned even redder, and she didn't know if she was holding her breath or being red by him.

"I didn't follow you, I was on the way." This sentence is said smoothly, but there is not much confidence.

Her face was so red that it went down to the base of her neck.

Lu Ziqi slowly took back the hand that was holding her neck, and did not intend to reason with her. Dusting off the cigarette ash in his hand, a pair of narrow eyes narrowed, and said slowly: "Don't follow me in the future." If you dare to follow me next time, I can't guarantee that I will do something. ”

There was a bit of gloom in his eyes, and after saying this, he ignored the girl, turned around and continued to walk forward.

The girl was probably frightened by him. And didn't keep up anymore.

Lu Zizhen didn't look back, and didn't stop until he walked to the small bungalow he rented. Pushed the door open.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, only a low table and a kettle. A glass. It had rained for too long, and the house was damp. The ashtray next to it was full of cigarette butts.

This is a slum and there are hardly any thieves who visit it. There was nothing in his house either, so he never locked the door when he went out.

I probably had a cold, and my throat hurt a little. He took the kettle and took the tap water and boiled it. Then he poured it into a glass, took out the medicine he had just bought at the drugstore and ate it, and then lay down on the hard plank bed.

He stayed up late last night, and with a cold, the whole person was extremely tired. Just fell asleep in a daze. The phone rang.

His brain was a little dull, and it took him a while to pick up his phone. Hello.

The call came from the nursing home, saying that he was clamoring to see him. Lu Zizhen said something after a while, and came over immediately.

The phone hung up quickly, and he lay on the bed without moving. I looked at the mottled ceiling with my eyes open, and it took me a moment to get up from the bed. I washed my face with cold water, took my coat and threw it out the door.

The sanatorium was in the new town, and the doctor who had been in charge of the retort when he arrived had been waiting for him. Seeing him take a few steps forward, he said helplessly: "I know that you are busy with work, but she is really clamoring to see you, and she has injured several nurses." ”

Lu Zizhen's heart tightened and he said sorry. Under the guidance of the doctor, he went to the ward where he retorted.

The wards here are different from those in the hospital, and they are closed with iron doors. There was only a small bed in the room, and there was no furnishings.

When he saw Retort Ran, Retort Ran was curled up on the bed with her head in her arms, she was very thin, and the hospital gown on her body was hanging loosely.

When she heard the door open, she immediately looked up.

Seeing that the person who came was Lu Ziqi, she immediately jumped out of bed. She was somewhat afraid of Lu Ziji, and wanted to step forward, but stopped again. looked at him timidly and said, "Cousin, I promise to be obedient in the future, you let me out." Let me go see my parents, okay? ”

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was pitiful. She had not seen the sun for a long time, and her face was pale and bloodless. Extremely thin, the frontal bone protrudes. Where is there still half a cent of style along the river.

Hearing the word "Mom and Dad", Lu Ziji's footsteps stiffened slightly. After two or three seconds, he stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said, "Your illness is not cured yet." You obediently listen to the doctors, and when you are cured, I will take you to see them. ”

This conversation had been repeated many times, and before he could finish his sentence, he covered his ears. He took a step back, looked at him viciously, and said, "I'm not sick, you're sick." You're crazy, you want to kill me here! ”

As she spoke, she suddenly sat down on the ground. Whimper, he began to cry. Pounding the ground and crying, "I want to go home, I don't want to be here." I want to see my parents. ”

Her snot and tears all flowed down at once, and she didn't hear Lu Ziji's voice after crying for a while. She quickly climbed to his feet, hugged his legs, and said with tears streaming down her face, "Cousin." I want to see my parents. Will you just let me see them? Just let me see them, and you can do whatever I want? Is it good, is it good? ”

Her appearance is too humble, but Lu Zizhen has long been used to it. The pain made him clench his fists tightly, and he bent down. Pick up the retort.

It was only before he bent down that the hand that was holding his legs suddenly grabbed him viciously in the face. Lu Zizhen was completely unprepared, Rao was quick to avoid it, and the nail still left a scratch on his face.

His face was hot and painful, and Lu Ziqi hadn't reacted yet. Retort Ran was like crazy, and his head immediately hit him. He scolded viciously: "You white-eyed wolf, if you want to lock me up here, I'll kill you." Why are you keeping me here, why?! ”

Although she is thin and strong, she is also agile in her movements. The head hit Lu Ziqi's chest painfully.

The doctor who followed behind Lu Zizhen didn't expect Yong Ran to make a sudden move. Shocked. While calling people, he came forward to pull people.

Lu Ziqi didn't fight back, and when the doctors and nurses pulled the retort away, he already had several colors on his face. The buttons on his body were also torn off by Retort, and the whole person was embarrassed.

Although he was separated by someone, he looked at Lu Zizhen viciously. It was as if he wanted to tear her to shreds.

She was so emotional that the doctor quickly gave her medicine. Waiting for the retort to fall asleep, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned around and saw the injury on Lu Zizhen's face, he immediately asked him to follow the nurse to deal with it.

Lu Zizhen said no.

This isn't the first time Ranran has done something to him. The doctor looked at the retort on the bed, sighed lowly, and said, "I was much better some time ago, but I don't know why, but suddenly it's like this again." ”

The time and space of the retort are chaotic, and the tragic scenes along the river have been forgotten by her. She even automatically blocked the death of her parents. insisted that Lu Zizhen locked her up here, and Lu Zizheng didn't let her see her parents.

This time it's good, sometimes the scolding is even more ugly. The impact of Hongguang and those three sons on her was great. She would even think that Lu Zizheng was on San'er's side and wanted to seize all of Hongguang's family property.

Every time he saw such a retort, Lu Ziqi was powerless. After a long time, he said politely: "I'm sorry for you." ”

The doctor said politely. I talked to him a few more about his condition, and then I went to get busy.

Lu Ziqi looked at the retort burning who was sleeping quietly inside through the iron door, lit a cigarette and smoked it, and then left.

When he reached the door, he paused slightly. After standing for a moment, he turned and went to the other side of the room.

Cui Yu's mother lives there. Compared with the noisy retort, she has always been quiet. didn't make a fuss or talk, just sat in a daze.

When Lu Ziqi passed, she was sitting in a wheelchair looking at the leaves blown by the wind outside the window, and she didn't know if she heard Lu Ziqi's footsteps. And there was no looking back.

After a while, she looked sideways at Lu Ziji. asked blankly, "When will Xiaoyu come to see me?" ”

She didn't speak for a long time, and she said this sentence with all her labor.

Lu Zizhen closed his eyes, and after a while, he replied softly: "Wait until your illness is cured." She will come to pick you up from the hospital. ”

She didn't make a fuss at all, and when she heard this, she said yes. He continued to look out the window at the leaves blown by the wind.

Lu Zizhen accompanied her for a long time, and when she got out of the sanatorium, she lit a cigarette and smoked it. His heart was heavy, and he stood at the door for a while. I got on the bus back.

He had a terrible headache, and he closed his eyes all the way and pretended to sleep. Everything along the river passed through his mind like a cloud of smoke, his fists clenched tightly, but slowly released.

It was only noon when I came out, but it was already dark when I returned. He lit a cigarette and smoked as he walked. I went to a small convenience store on the side of the road and went in and got a few buckets of instant noodles.

The street lights on both sides of the road were already on, stretching his figure long. Approaching the mouth of the alley, Lu Ziqi saw the girl who was following him at a glance.

She stood at the entrance of the alley, thin and slender, and took out her mobile phone from time to time to take a look.

Lu Ziyun's eyelids lifted slightly, dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand and continued walking.

It was only a few steps before he realized that the girl had followed again. He stopped, looked back at the girl with a smile, and asked, "Are you sure you want to follow me?" ”

His whole person was careless, probably because he had just come out of the sanatorium, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes.

The girl didn't expect him to stop suddenly, and she stopped in a bit of a panic.

Lu Ziqi looked her up and down, sneered, paused, and then said slowly: "Or, this time it's still on the way?" ”

She was dressed like someone who would come to such a place.

The girl probably didn't expect her to say that, and her face flushed. In the end, he still mustered up the courage to say: "Can you give me your mobile phone number?" ”

This time, he didn't deny that he was following him.

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and handed it to Lu Zizhen.

Lu Zizhen glanced at her mobile phone and didn't answer it. Suddenly approaching her step by step, until he forced her into a corner, he stopped. He spat a puff of smoke in her face, and said with a smile: "Just want a mobile phone number?" ”

The girl was a little nervous, but in the end she nodded calmly and said, "I want your mobile phone number." ”

As he spoke, he handed his phone forward.

Lu Ziqi sneered at this moment, and his handsome face approached her inch by inch. It wasn't until the noses were almost together that he stopped, leaned close to her ear, and said slowly: "As long as the mobile phone number?" Don't you want me to sleep with you? ”

He said this quite explicitly, stretched out his index finger as he spoke, and lifted the girl's chin lightly. Rubbing slowly.

The girl probably didn't expect him to make such a move, and her face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck. He stammered, "No, no, first, first, first ask for the phone number." ”

She's very persistent.
