Chapter 24: Ashin
Ah Xiang walked out of the library, walked two streets, crossed the intersection, and came to a shopping mall.
This mall has four floors, Ah Xiang took the elevator to the second floor, and followed the signs to find the men's restroom. Pushing the door in, I glanced at it, and saw a row of urinals on the right-hand side, and a separate squatting position between the cubicles on the left-hand side, and flashed into one of the rooms. Turning around and locking the door, he took out the lighter, looked vigilantly at the position of the smoke detector on the ceiling, and relaxed slightly near the middle of the cigarette detector. I took out a cigarette and took out the page from my pocket, and put it on the top of the cigarette butt not far away, the gas generated after the tobacco burned stained the paper, and the white color where the smoke reached slowly receded, revealing a pale yellow icon.
When the icons on the paper were revealed, Ah Xiang looked at the slowly rising gas, extinguished the cigarette, and threw it into the pool.
Returning from the hospital, Ah Xiang slipped into the fitness center. Looking for Xiao Yong from afar, he found Xiao Yong in the spinning bike room.
Ah Xiang leaned into Xiao Yong's ear and asked, "The boss is not in the store?"
Xiao Yong looked at Ah Xiang with a wicked smile: "The appointment is over?" β
Ah Xiang handed Xiao Yong a look, Xiao Yong took it steadily, and said, "This sister is not in her eyes." β
Ah Xiang hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his arm and put his two hands on Xiao Yong's shoulders, but was interrupted by Xiao Yong before he could shake it.
"Hey, don't come again" Xiao Yong quickly took two steps back, separated from Ah Xiang at a safe distance.
The corners of Ah Xiang's mouth hooked again, and a smile came out: "Brother, you really understand me!" β
Xiao Yong glanced at Ah Xiang, his eyes were a little dim, and said, "Go out for a walk?"
Ah Xiang followed Xiao Yong to the big tree opposite the entrance of the store, where they often swallowed clouds and mist.
"I heard you're quitting?" Xiao Yong asked.
Ah Xiang lit the fire, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and Xiao Yong's head also came over.
Ah Xiang took a puff of his cigarette and spat out a smoke ring at Xiaoyong. The smoke ring slowly rose between the two of them, and their eyes unconsciously moved slowly with the smoke ring, waiting for the smoke ring to pass between the eyebrows. Xiao Yong's gaze was fixed on Ah Xiang's face again.
Ah Xiang knew that Xiao Yong was looking at him, so he took another breath and let out a "hmm" without any emotion.
"Why?" Xiao Yong was clearly disappointed.
"Change jobs," Ah Xiang said flatly.
"Would you like to have a drink in the evening?" asked Xiao Yong.
"You're dating me? Why don't you make an appointment with your sister" Ah Xiang learned Xiaoyong's tone, and laughed after speaking.
"Brother, you know me" Xiao Yong learned Ah Xiang again.
Ah Xiang, who had dinner with Xiao Yong after work, walked home while listening to music with headphones.
Getting out of the elevator, Ah Xiang glanced at the fire hydrant on the wall of the corridor. He hesitated to stop, reached out to open the door of the fire hydrant, his hand hung in the air and stopped, he frowned, hesitated to retract his hand, reached into his pocketβreached to where his keys should be, and pulled out a bunch of keys.
He held the key in his palm and shook it again. The weight of the key came from the palm of his hand, and he liked the certainty, which gave him peace of mind.
was ready to open the door, Ah Xiang still turned his head to look at the fire hydrant, and finally he compromised with himself, fell back in, and stopped in front of the fire hydrant.
I opened the door of the fire hydrant with force, and I didn't let him down, and there was a package lying quietly inside.
In an instant, a burst of joy welled up in his heart. Although this joy is unjustified. He looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he quickly took the package in his arms and opened the door and entered the house.
The moment you enter the door, it is pitch black, and with it comes the smell of tobacco. His hand froze in mid-air when he was used to turning on the light.
Has anyone been here? Ah Xiang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and confirmed that it was the smell of tobacco burning, this person is still there? Thinking of this, he glanced warily at the hidden door of the bedroom.
Gently placing the key on the shoe cabinet at the door, Ah Xiang reached for the shoe cabinet, where the baton was placed.
I fumbled in the dark for a while, but I didn't touch the batons! Prepared, Ah Xiang remained vigilant and moved slowly towards the bedroom. As he approached the door of the bedroom, by the dim light of the window, he saw a man sitting at the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette, the end of which flickered and flickered in the darkness.
Ah Xiang let down his guard and opened his mouth to greet the uninvited man, and there was no emotion in his tone.
"It's you"
"Or else?" The cigarette butt made a beautiful arc, and apparently the man put the cigarette between his fingers, and asked rhetorically, his tone as flat.
"I didn't leave, I put the package in the hallway," Ah Xiang said, throwing the package to the man next to the bed.
In the darkness, I saw a black shadow flying over, and the man stretched out his hand, caught the package steadily, and played back and forth in his hand.
"That girl ......" the man choked, as if he didn't know whether to say the following words, and even if he had to, he didn't know how. simply stopped to see Ah Xiang's reaction.
Ah Xiang sat down opposite him, didn't say anything, touched the cigarette and lit it, and took a few puffs: "It's time for you to go back."
The man looked at Ah Xiang, his eyes confronted him for a minute, and looked away. And then it turned out to be, it actually laughed.
It was dark inside the room, and I couldn't see his eyebrows or his expression.
He got up and leaned into Ah Xiang's ear, lowered his voice and said, "That girl was hit very badly. β
"I'll let you ride an electric car, you ......" Ah Xiang blurted out half a sentence, and found that the man opposite was smiling, knowing that he had lost his temper. Biting her lip, she refused to say a word.
"Don't let me go next time for this kind of thing" The man restrained his smile, stretched out his hand in front of Ah Xiang, and shook it back and forth to make Ah Xiang pay attention to his hand, "I'm not a roadblock robber"
"Well, you're a slippery picker."
"Also, you'll have to treat me to a big dinner after this is over."
ββ¦β¦β
"I'll tell you, after this incident has passed, you invite me, have you heard" The man suddenly became emotional, tugging on the collar of Ah Xiang's clothes and said.
Ah Xiang stepped back, grabbed his arm, and twisted his backhand, the man's body in front of him flipped 180 degrees uncontrollably, and his hand was twisted behind his back, unable to move. He pushed the man into bed.
The man was slammed on the bed, so he simply lay on the bed, patted the mattress next to him and said, "You and that girl are rolling the sheets on this bed?" β
"It's not too early, it's time for you to go." Ah Xiang said flatly, looked at him, and added: "When I contact you, don't come to me again." β
For a while, no one spoke, and the room was quiet and the sound of children playing downstairs could be heard.
"I'm leaving" The man stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the door.
When the "Ashin" man walked up to Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang called him violently.
Ashin stopped his steps and turned his face to look at Ah Xiang, who also turned to him, and the two of them met their eyes in the dark.
"It's okay, it's going to be okay, you trust me."
β¦β¦
"But the girl hit it badly!"
Ah Xiang patted Ashin on the shoulder, put his hand on it, and pressed it hard: "It was an accident." β
"Ah Xiang, why are you bothering? There are a lot of women, you see the warblers and swallows dancing around you, and the ...... who throw them into your arms" The more Ashin said, the more excited he became.
"Ashin, it's time for you to go," Xiang interrupted.
"What's so special about that girl, it's that TM is very cold, don't you like icebergs, can I find you a bunch of them?" Ashin insisted on finishing his sentence.
"You don't have to be so loud, I'm not deaf" Ah Xiang walked to the side of the bed unreasonably, leaned back, lay comfortably on the bed, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, almost snoring!
Ashin stood awkwardly between the bed and the door in the bedroom, neither walking, nor staying, and it was not appropriate to shut up and stand stupidly, and it was even more inappropriate to talk to himself.
"Oh, I'm tired, bring your cigarette butts when you go, close the door, the corridor is a voice-activated light, tap, don't make the lights on, the camera will shoot you again"
"Don't do the elevator, take the walking ladder, there is an access control when you get out of the unit, walk with the crowd, don't wait stupidly at the access control, attract attention. Out of the unit door, turn right through the lawn and shrubs of the community park, you can see a hole, drill out is a tree-lined path, the street lamp was broken by me, the camera is 500 meters away from the path, rest assured to go, can't shoot. β
"Also, don't touch my baton, I don't wear gloves, and my fingerprints are all left at home."
"Don't really come here during this time, requisitioned your uncle's taxi, and the police will find it here along the taxi."
The more Ashin listened, the more angry he became, and he left Ah Xiang's house in a hurry. When I wanted to slam the door and leave, I looked at my trembling hand holding the door, and swallowed it back in one breath.
Forcing himself to be patient and gently closing the door, tiptoeing open the heavy fire door of the hallway and burrowing into the stairway hallway.
As soon as you enter the staircase corridor, you are out of range of the camera. Ashin raised his foot and kicked the fire door, and the lights in the corridor were lit up.
Ashin gritted his teeth and was indignant: "Shoot, shoot, you shoot!" See if you can get a picture of me! β
Accidentally! Hmph, tell me it was an accident! Ashin gritted his teeth.
My uncle is still asking me why I borrowed his taxi that day, because he didn't work full that month and lost hundreds of dollars in wages. As Ashin walked out of the unit door and walked through the bushes of the park, he couldn't help but think of the picture of his uncle questioning him.
Thinking about it, I didn't pay attention, and when I drilled the hole, my clothes were hung up by something. Ah Xinli pulled it, and the "card" clothes were torn.
Ashin looked at the thread wrapped around the wire, and really wanted to leave. But it's always a hidden danger to keep the thread of your own clothes here. He had to crouch there, his face closer, his eyes wide open, and by the moonlight, he could barely see the thread wrapped around the wire, and he used his fingers to wrap it back and forth, pulling it off little by little.
The force that had just been pulled hard was transformed into the entanglement of the wire and the thread, and Ashin tinkered for a while, and the thread on the wire was finally removed.
He looked at the thread he was holding in his hand, inexplicably irritable. Straightened up, took a few deep breaths on the spot, and looked down at the thread on his hand, the irritability not only did not ease, but made his chest suffocate.
Walking on the path that Ah Xiang said, he kicked the small stone under his feet hard, listening to the cooping of the stone and not knowing where to go, echoing in the deserted street. I can't help but sigh secretly, isn't my heart? Hanging without falling, always hanging......
In this way, Ashin held a few thread-breaking leaders in his hands and walked through the dark path without street lights.
