Chapter 7: The Mysterious Man
Zhang Fan felt that if he wanted to say goodbye to the past, he had to change from head to toe.
The first step is to walk with a pace that is not inferior to what you used to be, but to keep your head up and your chest up. Right, what's there to be inferior, and I don't owe them anything, right?
As for this job? Change, must change, wronged no one can be wronged themselves are not.
They? Hmph, I don't even bring any birds. If I dare to say anything excessive, I want them to know what it means to be a dog jumping off a wall.
"It's... I'd better take him home first, even if it's some other drunk, I think he'll do it. ”
After Hongfei finished drinking and going crazy, the sky was gradually darkening. In this way, Zhang Fan relied on his thin body and walked and stopped along the way. It took a while to go downstairs to the dilapidated dormitory, and stayed downstairs for a while before helping Hongfei, who was sitting on the ground, upstairs.
After entering the home after a day and a half, Zhang Fan actually had a feeling of being absent for a long time. "It's like being away from home for a long time and suddenly coming home." When she pulled Hongfei into the room, she was already asleep, "But, she... Where did it go again? ”
Zhang Fan, who was confused, thought that he was going to find himself, which made Zhang Fan feel moved in his heart. "Forget it, I'll look for it."
After Zhang Fan went downstairs, he inadvertently glanced to the right. "Well, why is the light still on? She's in there? "Walk away with a feeling of skepticism.
The place where the lights are on is where Zhang Fan's mother works. It's just that it's unknown why the lights are still on in the middle of the night. It's not a big place, but it's big enough for a few people on the second floor.
When Zhang Fan went upstairs, he also heard a faintly indescribable voice. This made Zhang Fan's worldview collapse, his pupils dilated, and he was all stiff in place.
"This..."Zhang Fan, who didn't give up, approached and wanted to hear clearly. Unexpectedly found the door lock, leaving a crack in the door, and the middle-aged woman inside was Zhang Fan's mother.
There was also a middle-aged man on the sofa with Zhang Fan's mother, untidy, kissing each other, really spicy, and moaning from time to time.
"I didn't expect it to be self-inflicted." Zhang Fan, who couldn't cry or laugh, had to grin stiffly to cover up the sadness in his heart.
"Now am I going to rush in and go to the big fuss? To accuse her of the disappearance of her children and her husband who is drunk and doesn't take care of her? It's funny, maybe she doesn't have me in her heart at all. He was about to turn around and leave, but found that the man lying on Zhang Fan's mother was very familiar.
"Well, maybe I've seen it before. What does it have to do with me? Thinking of this, Zhang Fan was relieved, "them, I'm going to cut off relations with them anyway, what are I doing?" ”
Zhang Fan was afraid that he would be too big and would be discovered by the lewd man inside, and he would be too embarrassed in the end, so he had to tiptoe away.
Zhang Fan lingered for a long time in front of a convenience store that was open all night, "I'm so hungry, I only have 600 yuan in my pocket, and I have to rent a house after I leave home in the future, I don't know if this money is enough?" ”
However, the woman in the convenience store had already noticed Zhang Fan lingering at the door. Those bright black eyes seemed to have understood the pain in Zhang Fan's heart.
took the initiative to come out and beckoned Zhang Fan to come in.
Zhang Fan felt a little embarrassed at first, and stood helplessly and stupidly. It stands to reason that if Zhang Fan had been in the past, he would have run away shyly, but this time he didn't.
Zhang Fan walked in and did not ignore the girl's enthusiasm. In the dark world, a light suddenly appeared, making Zhang Fan feel the warmth of the sun. The gloomy life suddenly has the motivation to live.
"Hello..."Zhang Fan walked up to the girl, hung his head and said shyly. Although the height of the girl is not tall and burly, 1.67 meters is relatively tall among southerners.
But at this time, she shone on Zhang Fan's body like an incomparably warm sun, lighting up Zhang Fan's world instantly.
"Little brother, are you hungry from time to time?" The girl said,
Zhang Fan was silent, looked away shyly, and nodded.
"Sister, take you to eat something delicious." The girl took Zhang Fan's hand and walked to the chair in front of the window and sat down. "You sit here, I'll go get you something to eat, don't move."
The girl smiled at Zhang Fan and turned to leave. At this time, Zhang Fan dared to look at the girl's back.
After a while, the girl soaked a bucket of instant noodles for Zhang Fan, afraid that he would not be full, so she took a bag of snacks and put them on the table. "Eat, little brother."
"Thank you, sister." After Zhang Fan whispered, he picked up the instant noodles and devoured them regardless of the image.
The girl sitting next to her just smiled softly and watched him eat.
Zhang Fan also ate without any worries in front of strangers for the first time. After eating the noodles, I didn't forget to take a sip of soup, and I burped comfortably.
The girl sitting on the side couldn't help but be amused by Zhang Fan's action. Then he asked, "Little brother, why haven't you come home so late?" Is it lost? ”
When the girl asked like this, a trace of gloom appeared in Zhang Fan's eyes. "Uh...... I've worked, and... I don't have a home anymore. ”
"No home?" This answer surprised the girl, who squinted at Zhang Fan and thought, "No home, you are angry with your parents and ran away from home." ”
The girl didn't say anything directly, but she looked at it and saw that it was so late, and thought, "No, let's leave him here for the night." If he has a three-long and two-short, who will it be? ”
After thinking about it, the girl decided to call the police and let the police deal with it.
An hour later, the sound of the alarm was getting closer and closer to the convenience store where the girl was. Three people of different shapes dressed as Nancheng policemen, and the one who opened the door was a middle-aged man with a fatter physique, who seemed to be their leader.
"Who called the police?" When he entered the door, he shouted loudly, if he was not wearing a police uniform, he would definitely think it was a robbery or a street thug.
Zhang Fan and the little girl in the store were startled by this sudden shout, the girl turned her head and thought, "This is the police... Or a hooligan? ”
The girl walked up and replied, "It's me, comrade policeman." Grinned stiffly, and said Zhang Fan's matter briefly,
"Okay, I got it." The leader said, seemingly uninterested in this matter. He pointed at Zhang Fan and shouted, "That kid, come here." ”
The two people behind the leader have not said a word since they entered the door. This made the girl alert, and her heart panicked inexplicably, and a trace of bad premonition welled up in the girl's heart.
"Sister, I don't want to go." Shaking his head vigorously, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, he looked at the girl with a pleading look.
The girl asked tentatively, "Show me your papers." ”
The middle-aged man in the lead ignored the girl and gave the two men behind him a look. The two men stepped forward directly and grabbed Zhang Fan, just as they were about to leave.
The girl stopped at the door and shouted to them, "Don't go!" ”
