The sky was faint, and the drizzle gradually stopped when the fish belly turned white in the east.

Behind the closed curtains, the dim room was filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and the silhouette moved, highlighting the figure lying on the bed, and the eyes were opened weakly, and the pain in the ribs was still surging, stimulating the nerves for a while.

Suddenly, the lights came on.

Xia Yi squinted his eyes and saw a woman in a long skirt standing by the door, her hand pressing on the switch.

"Are you awake? ”

"It's how you ..... find me. ”

"When I got off the night shift, I ran into ..... and the wound on your rib side was not an ordinary wound. ”

Xia Yi's eyelids jumped, and he struggled out of bed, a new bandage was already wrapped around his chest, and he could feel that the wound inside had been stitched up, and his clothes had changed.

It's a very professional approach.

Walking out of the bedroom, Xia also saw that the woman was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, and through the gap in the curtains in the living room, he could see the balcony of his rented room on the fourth floor opposite, and on the street below, from time to time, two or three people walked by in groups, and there were even people holding newspapers or eating slowly at the nearby food stalls.

It's all some strange faces.

"Don't look at it, you're already wanted outside. The woman came over with a bowl of porridge, put it on the coffee table, and turned on the TV, which was the morning news broadcast of Jiaohe TV.

"In the early hours of this morning, the residence of Li Fangming, a wealthy man in this county, was invaded, he himself was killed on the street, and the suspect Xia is also at large, and the police hereby show that he is wanted......"

Xia Yi lowered the curtains, withdrew his gaze from the outside, sat on the sofa, and unceremoniously picked up the bowl of porridge and shaved it clean, in addition to the injury, the main reason was that he frequently used the ability last night, and was chased around by the people of the Commuter Bureau, resulting in physical exhaustion, if not, it was not impossible for him to kill out of the city.

Wiping the rice grains from the corners of his mouth, he looked at the woman next to him.

“...... So, why did you save me?"

Zheng Wanxia put away the dishes and chopsticks, took them to the kitchen, and when she came out, she took some potions that she had boiled herself, squatted next to Xia Yi, and smeared some small wounds on his arms and shoulders.

"You also know that I have been beaten many times by my husband..... and I am weak and dare not resist, if you hadn't shot on the balcony twice, I wouldn't have the courage to resist now...... How bad can a person who is holding on to grievances be? And I know that Li Fangming, who is clean on the surface, secretly opened a casino...... My husband just loves to go there to gamble, otherwise how would he be angry with me every time he loses a bet. ”

The TV fluoresced the woman's attentive side face, she took a breath, turned her face, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, when you sit on this street, I know you, I have met you several times on the street, Xiao Yu in the grocery store is still interesting to you, and the fat man, walking the streets and alleys...... The life of you young people is really enviable. ”

Xia Yi lowered his cuffs, pursed his lips, and was silent for a while: "What's the use of envy...... Not anymore. ”

Since touching the ruby, the original negative emotions have increased to the point that it is difficult to control, and sometimes when he doesn't notice it at all, it will emerge and change his view of being a person and doing things, such as the knife that slashed Xiaoyu's father before, in fact, he wanted to warn him, at most he was beaten, but the extreme temperament suddenly occupied the original practice, and he went straight to the knife, and even felt that it was right.

Killing Wang Ju, taking 500,000 yuan, killing Chang Wu, and killing Li Fangming are actually all behaviors that are manifested under those extreme emotions, but he remembers all of them, and his consciousness is also very clear.

At that time, there was only one thought: if they want to kill me, I will kill them, if I don't kill these people, Xiao Yu and the fat man may be implicated by him in the future.

The TV was still pushing the wanted news, and the woman who put down the decoction sighed: "I can see that you are not doing this because you are not upset in your heart, but you have become a wanted criminal, how will you live in the future...... That Xiao Yu can't see it, you won't take her away...... Have you ever regretted it?"

"I don't regret ..... doing it. Xia Yi looked at his photo on TV and muttered softly.

Soon there were many footsteps in the corridor, knocking on the door door door, Zheng Wanxia sighed lightly, walked lightly to the security door, glanced at it from the cat's eye, and hurriedly made a gesture behind Xia Yi to hide in the house before opening the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

There were several policemen standing at the door, handing over a wanted list, "There has been a vicious murder in the city, this is the wanted list, if you see this person on it, report it immediately, and you must not hide criminals ......"

The policeman stopped talking and sniffed his nose: "Why is it so big about medicine?"

"That's the smell of medicine, I adjusted it myself. Zheng Wanxia pulled her long, somewhat messy hair away, revealing the bruises on her face, "Do you see it?"

"How did you get hurt?"

"My husband ..... domestic violence......"

At this time, the old lady of the neighbor on the other side of the door also took the wanted list and pointed at Zheng Wanxia and said: "But isn't it? Comrade policeman, that rotten gambler in his family, he beat her if she has nothing to do, and in the early hours of this morning, there was another fight, and I heard it all across the corridor, what a sin! You have to help her more and teach that man a lesson." ”

"Yes. The policeman nodded, no longer suspicious, and said to the woman at the door: "Don't be silent when you encounter domestic violence, go to the community for mediation, if it still doesn't work, call us." ”

After sending the police away, Zheng Wanxia said thank you to the old lady again before closing the door and going in.

Xia Yi also walked out at this time.

"Hiding a wanted criminal is not a small crime, so I'd better leave. ”

The woman put the slip on the coffee table and shook her head: "I know, but I want to pay it back...... At least you'll have to wait until it gets dark. ”

Outside, it was getting brighter and brighter, and through the cracks in the curtains shone into the quiet living room, only the clock hanging on the wall ticked and moved. After being quiet for a while, Xia Yi found a pen and paper again, sat on the sofa and began to write.

Outside residential buildings.

The man with his head bandaged came back with a vegetable basket, and when he saw the policeman going downstairs, he hesitated, but he still didn't speak, and continued to go upstairs and return home.

"I saw the police just now, are you okay?"

After the man entered the house, he asked Zheng Wanxia, who took the vegetable basket from his hand and went to the kitchen, ignoring him.

"Brother, you're so good..... you're getting you everywhere right now. The man ran to the coffee table, looked at the figure in the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not my wife's concubine?"

Xia Yi raised his head and looked at him coldly.

The man hurriedly waved his hand, licked his face and leaned closer: "I don't mean anything else, brother, don't mind...... Even if it is, it's no problem, but remember to give the money you said before. ”

"Help me get this letter to the fat man, and he'll give you the money. ”

Taking the paper with handwriting, the man hurried out the door, he knew that the fat man who had collected the tatters was in an alley behind Gongxiang Street in less than half an hour, pushing open the small door with the door god, which was full of all kinds of waste cardboard, iron wire, iron pipes and other garbage.

After Zhao Dezhu received the paper, he went to the house and took out a stack of money and handed it to the other party, sat back on the small stool, and looked at the contents on it silently.

"..... Dezhu, you've seen the news, don't worry, I'm safe, lively, kicked you that night, I'm really sorry, I just don't want you to get involved, you still have a little flower to raise, if she returns to China in the future, when you get married, remember to send me an invitation...... If you can't find it, write your name and burn it to me....."

"You're ..... fucking ....." The fat man covered his mouth and nose, and tears fell down one by one.

.......

In the morning light, the wet pudding squatted under the open roller shutter door with her tail wagging her tail, and the golden light shone down from the clouds, pouring down on the early girl's body, her red and swollen eyes and tear stains hanging, and she turned on the radio as usual, and sat down on the stool by the counter.

Soaking up the sun, waiting for the familiar footsteps to appear.

......

“...... The 500,000 yuan, except for the one for Xiao Yu's eyes, the rest of the money, you take it to small business, live a good life, don't collect waste anymore, otherwise the daughter who has returned from studying abroad will not take a fancy to you...... Also, in a few days, if Xiao Yu asks about me, she will say that I have gone a long way, and if I can come back in the future, I will ask you for a drink again. ”

The fat man crumpled the paper and threw it into the garbage heap, and stood in the sun for a long time before he wiped his tears and took out the phone.

"Hey, sixth brother, help me collect and buy some firecrackers, buy as many as you want, the south of the city is not enough, so I will go to the west and east of the city to buy, my fat tiger is not bad for money, today let the brothers who collect waste products help, and pay back the hard money. ”

He took a breath and accentuated his voice.

"Remember, the powerful kind of ......"
