Chapter 162: Debt
Qi Ye broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that the other party would accidentally hurt Li Xia. He hated these two debt collectors for coming at an inopportune time, causing him to implicate the people he least wanted to implicate. Li Xia must have hated him to death by now, and maybe she had cursed him a thousand times in her heart.
Li Xia was kidnapped by the scar man, which made Qiye's situation very passive. After weighing it again, Qiye could only lower her posture and pleaded again: "Please let her go." As long as you don't hurt her, let me do anything. ”
The strong man snorted coldly and said, "I want you to pay back, the rest is nonsense." ”
"I'll pay it back, as long as you give me some more time."
"How long more do you want?"
"Give me three more days, and I'll pay it back." Qiye assured. The strong man shook his head and said, "I don't believe you." ”
"How can I make you believe me?"
"Or else." The strong man glanced at Li Xia with a wicked smile, "During the time you raised money, this little beauty will be temporarily handed over to us to take care of." As soon as the three-day deadline is up, we will pay the money with one hand and the other hand, so that there will be no problems, right? ”
"You ......" Qi Ye gritted his teeth angrily, eager to rush over and fight with the strong man immediately. He can do it alone, but when it comes to Li Xia's safety, he can't say anything impulsively.
"Okay, but you have to talk the talk, and you must take good care of her for me......" Qiye pretended to compromise on the surface, and slowly removed the guitar case from his shoulder as he spoke. While Scar Man wasn't paying attention, he lifted the box and slammed it at the other's head. The latter was caught off guard and dodged but was hit on the head.
"Run!" Qiye shouted at Li Xia, and he took advantage of the chaos to scuffle with the scar man.
Li Xia ran more than ten meters to the side of the road, and suddenly heard Qi Ye's screams. She turned around and saw that Qi Ye had been stabbed in the arm, and blood was flowing out of her cuffs. If those few people are left alone, sooner or later they will die. Although Li Xia was scared, her whole body was trembling with fear, but she still flipped her phone out of her bag in a panic.
As soon as he pressed the three numbers of 110, Li Xia saw a pitch-black figure rushing towards those people. The man pulled Qi Ye away, pushed him aside, and singled out the scar man with his bare hands. Li Xia was pinching a cold sweat for that person, when he heard a "dang chang", the scar man's knife fell to the ground, and was firmly stepped on by that person.
"Stop, police!" The man scolded harshly, then took out his ID and shook it in front of the scar man.
The man with the scar hurt people first, and he felt that he was at a loss, and after being stunned for two seconds, he turned around and ran away. The strong man saw that his companion had run away and he couldn't hold up the scene alone, so he said viciously to Qi Ye: "You wait for me, and we will settle the account next time." Then he also fled the scene in embarrassment with the scar man.
Li Xia stabilized his mood, and when he got closer, he realized that it was none other than Gu Song from the R City Criminal Police Detachment, so he couldn't help but be taken aback and asked, "Officer Gu, why are you here?" ”
"I came to Bar Street to inquire about the situation, and I happened to see you. Are you okay? Gu Song casually told a little lie, in fact, he went to the bar to secretly observe Qi Ye. Although Qiye's suspicion of crime was temporarily ruled out, he always felt that there was still something wrong with this person.
"It's fine." Li Xia shook his head, looked at Qi Ye with a painful face, and said, "He is not in a good condition, he has to go to the hospital for stitches quickly." ”
"I know." Gu Song bent down and picked up the guitar case that Qi Ye used as a weapon, put it on his shoulder, and said to Li Xia, "I'll take him to the hospital to see an emergency first, and then send you home." ”
"No need." Li Xia waved his hand again and again, "You take good care of him, I'll just take a taxi back by myself." ”
"But ......"
"It's okay, haven't the bad guys been scared away by you?" Li Xia pretended to smile calmly, but the real thought in his heart was to quickly escape from Qiye's side.
She regretted this meeting tonight very much, especially after the thrilling scene just now, she was even more sure that she and Qiye were completely people from two worlds.
She remembered that when she was 12 years old, she followed her father back to her hometown in the countryside of Guangxi and listened to the villagers talk about Qiye's father. What kind of mad man would kill his fellow countrymen in such a cruel way? As the son of a murderous demon, Qiye's mental health must not be much better.
Li Xia no longer suspected that his father must have been killed by Qiye. She never wanted to deal with this person again. She just wanted to escape, wishing she would never see Qiye again in her life.
After Li Xia left, Gu Song looked at Qi Ye with a serious expression and asked, "Who are those two guys just now?" ”
"Debt collector." Qiye replied truthfully, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in concealing this matter for him. In order to see his father's doctor, Xiaolong borrowed a sum of money from a loan shark. I went to the school that day to ask Li Tianhua to borrow money, in fact, it was to help Xiaolong repay the loan shark. ”
"The person who borrowed the loan shark is Xiaolong, how can the debt collector find your head? What about the little dragon? ”
Qi Ye covered the wound on his arm, smiled miserably and shook his head, "I can't contact him, I guess I don't have enough money, so where to hide from the debt." And a few days ago, I had promised those two debt collectors to help Xiaolong repay the money. So they couldn't get in touch with Xiaolong, so they came to me directly. ”
"Oh?" Gu Song didn't expect that the silent and melancholy, thin folk singer in front of him would be such a righteous person, and couldn't help but ask with interest, "Your relationship with Xiaolong must be very good, right?" Brothers may not be able to carry such a heavy burden for him like you. ”
"Actually, it's nothing." Qi Ye looked up at the deep and distant night sky, and said lightly, "Originally, these are all ...... I should do" Then on the way to the hospital, Qi Ye told a person who was not familiar with him for the first time about some of his childhood experiences.
Qi Ye's father, Qi Tao, was a murderer who killed the son of the village party secretary in 1995 and was sentenced to death. Until now, no one knows what Qi Tao's motive for killing is, and even the police who handled the case at the time couldn't figure out why this usually polite and honest man suddenly became animalistic and killed his friend of the same age with extremely cruel means.
After Qitao was arrested, he confessed to the crime he committed, but no matter how the police pressed him, he just didn't explain why he killed people, but just repeated a sentence like a demon, "That person should die, that person should die......"
Because of this incident, the people in the village regarded Qi Tao as a devil and said that he was a madman. However, in fact, Qi Tao was very sober before and after the crime, and there was no indication that there was any problem with his mental state. He calmly accepted the harshest punishment of the law, leaving behind his young son and innocent wife, leaving this world forever with an unsolved mystery.
Not long after Qi Tao was sentenced to death, Qi Ye's mother died in depression. Qiye unfortunately became an orphan and was raised by his grandparents since he was a child.
As a murderer's child, Qiye has been bullied by children in the same village since he can remember, and someone punches and kicks him every once in a while, and his life is full of gossip. When he was most lonely and helpless, it was Uncle Long's kind family who helped him and gave him care and care similar to his family. If it weren't for Uncle Long and Xiaolong, Qi Ye wouldn't have been able to imagine what he would be like now.
Qiye will never forget that when he was eight years old, Xiaolong single-handedly beat away the four older children in the village with a black burning stick, and warned them viciously: "If you dare to bully Xiaoqi again, I will ask my father to throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves." ”
In fact, Qi Ye knew that the people who were really afraid of the children were Uncle Long, who had been a soldier and had been a policeman in the village police station for several years, but he was still very grateful to Xiaolong for saving his life at the last moment, otherwise that time, he would really be beaten to death by those senior children.
Since then, as long as Xiaolong is present, the children in the village will not dare to do anything to Qiye easily. Although Qiye will still be isolated by his friends, he will be talked about by the villagers, and everyone will avoid him like a plague god, but he knows that there is finally someone in this world who can support him.
He asked Xiaolong, why risk helping him? Why offend other children for him? At that time, Xiaolong replied to him very truthfully: "I don't know, it's my parents who let me spend more time with you when I'm fine, and help you more." And I see you're always on your own, it's boring like that, right? ”
"But ......" Qi Ye's heart was very moved, but he didn't ask very understandingly, "Why did your parents ask you to help me?" ”
"How do I know...... Xiaolong smirked twice, rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, and gave a simple, but convinced answer, "Maybe it's because they're good people." ”
Yes, Uncle Long's family are all kind and good people, although what happened later proved that good people may not necessarily have good rewards, but he always warned himself that no matter what kind of family he was born in, no matter how the people around him insulted him and misunderstood him, he had to be a kind person.
For Qiye, Uncle Long is like a father, while Xiaolong is a "brother" who is not related by blood. So no matter what happens, he won't let anyone hurt Xiaolong and Uncle Long.
Qiye has never told anyone about her experience. Maybe it's because Gu Song's identity is relatively special, even if he doesn't say many things, the other party can find out clearly; Maybe it was because Gu Song had just saved his life, and he was grateful, and unconsciously confided in his heart.
After saying these words, Qi Ye's mood relaxed a lot. Although the matter in front of him has not been resolved, he has at least found someone to confide in his bitterness.
