Old acquaintances
An indescribable sense of weightlessness appeared on Siqi, who could barely see clearly under the dazzling light, and could only barely close his eyes to exchange a hint of 'calm'.
Finally, after experiencing the special situation of 'no spit', Yu Siqi touched something hard, and then he realized that he had landed.
Lying flat facing the earth was not a nice experience, but his body had not recovered from his previous weightlessness, so that he could not stand up on his own strength now.
Fortunately, just as he was wondering when he would be able to get rid of this embarrassing posture, a pair of extremely strong arms dragged him off the ground and helped him to sit firmly on a low stool beside him.
When Yu Siqi barely opened his eyes to see who it was, the man ran directly behind him and talked to another person in a very soft voice.
Because their voices are very well controlled, almost using their lips to make sounds, even if Yu Siqi stirs his eardrums, he can only hear, 'What now...' Let him go... The confession... In case of... Stop it... The kid regained consciousness... He's eavesdropping...' and other staccato conversations. And judging from the meaning of the last paragraph, it seems that he is 'exposed'?
Yu Siqi, who had a headache and a split brain, hadn't had time to digest the true meaning of this passage, he had already been grabbed by the collar and lifted up.
"Let him go, hey... Obedient..."
The vision in front of me was still blurry, as if I was looking through unclean glass. He could barely make out that there was a man and a woman who were arguing, and that he was like a marionette at the mercy of others.
'Haven't you regained consciousness yet?' Yu Siqi, who hated his current state a little, asked inwardly: "This feeling of being like a 'vegetative person' is really uncomfortable. ”
Maybe his question was answered, or maybe he was just recovering. Yu Siqi, who was able to manipulate his body freely, easily broke free from the other party's pull, and when he looked at the two of them again, he noticed that the other party was also observing him, and the woman in one of them showed a hint of surprise.
"Happy New Year," the man said, trying to squeeze a smile out of his somewhat stiff face, "You may not remember, we've met before." ”
"What?" Yu Siqi was attracted by the man's words, and he looked carefully at the man with dark and yellow skin and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not impressed." ”
"yes... Is... Forget it..."The man's expression darkened and said, "It's okay, it's so good to see that you're still alive... Happy..."
"I don't understand what you mean," Yu Siqi said, looking at the man alertly, and he was telling the truth. If one day you are suddenly told by a stranger, "It's so nice to see that you're still alive." In that case, you will surely be as upset as he is.
"Don't be sentimental, you see that people don't like to take care of you." The woman said stiffly, "If you want me to say, you really shouldn't have stopped me." ”
"I won't allow you to hurt anyone else, absolutely not." The man roared at the woman in extreme annoyance, and the surprisingly loud sound not only shook Yu Siqi's buzz, but also frightened the woman to her knees.
When he realized his gaffe, he picked up the woman, stroked her hair and said, "Okay, good... Let me call the shots on this matter, okay? ”
The woman nodded, and retreated into the corner with a wincing head, bowing her head and playing with her fingers.
The man who arranged the women turned his face to Yu Siqi and said, "No matter what we had with before, it was all in the past. The reason I'm going to keep you alive is because I hate 'dead people', and I don't want to be in any way... Appear... Do you understand? ”
"Who the hell are you?" Yu Siqi felt the cold aura on the man's body, which was really a little too different from his simple face.
"I'm from Tangjiawan, do you have any impressions?" The man dragged a table in front of Yu Siqi with one hand and motioned for each other to sit down. After watching Yu Siqi sit on the low stool in front of him, he turned over, sat down on the table and said, "Think about it, it shouldn't be very difficult." ”
The three of 'Tangjiawan' went back and forth in Siqi's mind many times, but only some inconsequential fragments appeared, and it seemed a bit reluctant for Yu Siqi to find the 'related words' among those countless 'memory fragments'.
So the man gave a new hint: "It was my daughter-in-law who offended you just now, and she is from Bazhou." ”
Wait, the dark skin, the cousin's bay, the strong arm plus the wife is Bazhou. This coherent data activated Yu Siqi's long-sealed memory, and he looked at the person in front of him in amazement, yes, it really was.
"You're the driver of bus 77!"
The man clapped his hands and said, "I'm relieved to see that your brain isn't broken." I'm probably going to test you next, are you willing to delay a little bit of time? ”
"Can I refuse?"
Yu Siqi, who looked around a little, found that he was now in a very ordinary utility room, and the light bulbs above his head were broken.
"Of course you can say no, but I advise you not to." The man took out a half-smoked pack of cigarettes from his pocket and asked, "Come?" ”
"No, I don't smoke." Yu Siqi frowned slightly and said.
"Decades of bad habits, even if—" The man sighed, put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and said, "It's too hard to change." ”
Blue-blue smoke rose from the lit cigarette butt, enveloping the man in a thick cloud of smoke in a few moments. Because the smell was really unpleasant, Yu Siqi hurriedly stood up and stayed away from him.
The man who realized that he could not communicate in this state quickly snuffed out the cigarette butt, threw it aside and said, "I am addicted to smoking, be considerate." ”
Smelling the strange smell of the rotten cloth that seemed to be burned, Yu Siqi really wanted to ask, 'Then have you ever understood the feelings of others?'
Sitting back in his place, he said, "I'd like to figure out a few things if it's convenient." ”
"Is it important?"
"Very important."
"Then you ask."
"Where are we now?"
"The utility room on the seventeenth floor, to be honest, I don't know what this hotel is called, and I suffer from culture." The man said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't matter, I'm not here to eat anyway." ”
"Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't you come here to eat, why are you here?" Yu Siqi asked.
"Find someone," the man said briefly, "to find the owner of this hotel, to be exact." ”
"Did you find it?" Yu Siqi asked.
"No, I only found you." The man said, "So I have to trouble you to answer the question, otherwise I will not be able to go back." ”
"I may not be able to meet your needs," Mr. Yu said.
"No, from what is known, you may be more valuable than the boss." The man looked at Yu Siqi, who wanted to get up, and said, "Don't run away in a hurry, I won't do anything to you." Answer a few questions, and I'll let you go. ”
"Ask," after the idea of escaping was recognized, Yu Siqi obediently sat up straight and said.
"Are you familiar with Gong Chen?" The first question the man asked surprised Yu Siqi, and it was true that his appearance itself was unexpected. But he didn't think that the driver of the No. 77 bus would know the name Gong Chen, unless they had contact, after all, when he met the driver, Gong Chen was still a 'stranger'.
Before Siqi opened his mouth to speak, the man had already looked at him with a knowing gaze and said, "Judging from your unconcealable expression, I have basically guessed the answer." Next question, were you really there when Bammon died? ”
"How do you know about Bamon?" Yu Siqi became more and more panicked, he couldn't imagine what the driver's 'big brother' in front of him was like, and he didn't have time to think about it.
"That's probably it, okay... I'm just helping others to confirm the 'facts'. The man beckoned to his wife and said, "Hey, we should go, his people will be there soon." ”
"However, the mission was not completed!" The woman looked up suddenly.
"There's no time, I'll leave the rest to someone else to do, anyway, I've done my 'duty'." The man pushed open the door of the utility room and said, "Just stay here and don't move, the people down there will come and pick you up soon." Remember, if you don't want to die, it's best not to leave, not everyone is as 'talkative' as I am. ”
