ACT249: The Long Night's Change

"You stay in the house honestly, don't run around, if I can come back alive, I will definitely take you home, but I can't guarantee that if the buddies can't come back, you can find another family to eat and drink, remember, find a family to live in, and be smart." Ming Junwei squatted in front of the cat and dog family, said goodbye to the mascots with a smile, the yellow dog looked dazed, his nose approached Ming Junwei's hand and sniffed, stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked a hand of saliva.

With a smile in his eyes, Ming Junwei rubbed the yellow dog's head, like Lao Tzu teaching his son, poked the yellow dog's head: "Especially you, you have to learn to take care of the house, don't be lazy all day long, so that people don't like you, and then stew for you." ”

The big yellow dog yawned, looked impatient, dodged Ming Junwei's poked fingers, and whined twice.

Hou Xiong sat at the window, with mixed feelings in his heart, saying goodbye to cats and dogs on the one hand, and poisoning living people on the other, the two things appeared on the same person, but he didn't feel awkward.

"Let's go." Ming Junwei breathed a long sigh of relief, plugged in the latch, and turned off the lights in the room.

The window sill on the first floor is more than two meters high from the window on the second floor, and there is no protective fence on the perimeter, so it is not difficult to sneak in. Ming Junwei stepped out of the window, supported Hou Xiong's weight with his shoulders, took a deep breath, and his lower body stood up violently, Hou Xiong on the top jumped up, grabbed the edge of the window sill with both hands, and lifted his head up with his arms.

The windows were dark, unoccupied, and unlocked, and the lighted rooms were on the side, just in time for them to do their business.

Hou Xiong opened the window and motioned for Ming Junwei below to help, Ming Junwei dragged the soles of his shoes up, Hou Xiong used his hands and feet together, climbed in with a breath, walked over quickly and locked the door, and then put the sheet tied to his waist down the edge of the window, and pulled Ming Junwei up.

"You have to live in several rooms, right?" Hou Xiong suddenly thought of one thing, and only cared about pondering the black hand, but ignored the fact that the other party was overwhelmed.

"Let's go check it out." Ming Junwei has already considered this problem, he is not afraid of many people, he can adapt to the situation, and there is always an opportunity to seize the opportunity to be alone.

The two of them stayed in the house for a while, sneakily opened the door, and looked at the left and right of the corridor, the outer ring of the second floor was surrounded by waist-high guardrails, and the lights were on at the staircase. If you want to avoid the eyeline, you must enter the room in the second moment that the patrol officer takes his eyes off the spot.

"Three on the left, seven on the right." Hou Xiong counted the lights and muttered, "There are at least a dozen of them in one room, how can you do it?" ”

"There's surveillance over there." Ming Junwei narrowed his eyes, pointed to the eaves diagonally opposite, and scolded secretly: "The guards are tight, and the front can't be made." ”

"Do you want to find a way to pinch the line?" Hou Xiong looked up at the eaves, and there were rubber-wrapped lines at the edges, which stretched to the end of the floor.

"No, before you touched the line, the other party's monitoring probe found out." Ming Junwei shook his head and vetoed this proposal, it seems that he still thinks too simply, the compound seems to be weakly guarded, but in fact, all links are secretly interlocked, and there are not too many opportunities to exploit loopholes.

"Why don't we just slip away?" Hou Xiong suddenly felt a little funny, and climbed up from below with great effort, only to find that there was no room for use at all.

The two guys with bad intentions were discussing, and suddenly Ming Junwei lowered his voice, made a silent gesture, and his eyes drifted to the main square. Near the door, the night guards were gathering in a group chatting about something, and one of the security guards got up and left the group and hurried towards the stairs.

Hou Xiong panicked, thinking that the two of them had been discovered, and was about to speak, but saw the other party enter the small door next to the staircase.

Ming Junwei's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Hurry up, it's him!" ”

Hou Xiong comprehended, the housekeeper said during the day that the toilet is at the top of the stairs, and they can use it freely!

The plan to attack the group dormitory was put on hold for the time being, and the two of them climbed out of the window in a hurry, jumping back to the first floor along the sheets, and the yellow dog who was sleeping on his stomach was startled, and the girl jumped off the bed, without the slightest awareness of the nursing home.

Ming Junwei turned on the light, took off his shirt three or two times, and muttered, "Give me the nails." ”

"What? Do you go on your own? Hou Xiong was stunned for a moment.

"Nonsense, going to the toilet together at night?" Ming Junwei smiled dumbly.

"I'll go, what if the nails get bloody?" Hou Xiong settled down, put on his hood and walked to the door.

Ming Junwei hesitated for a moment and advised: "He still has a gun, you be careful, if you don't have a chance to do it, forget it." ”

"I know, ten minutes." Hou Xiong nodded, clutched the cement nail in his hand, and strode out of the room.

……

The field workers in the courtyard just glanced at him from a distance, and didn't pay too much attention to it, Hou Xiong took deep breaths repeatedly, walked to the door of the toilet with his hands in his pockets, and coughed deliberately. The toilet is not big, the dry toilet that was very common in the past, the cement floor, one side is the urinal, and the other side is the squatting position separated by the cement pier, the security guard just now squatted in the inner position, smoking a cigarette, and only raised his eyelids when he saw Hou Xiong come in, and didn't say anything.

Hou Xiong was a little nervous, walked to the urinal and pretended to untie his belt, secretly wondering how to start. The security guard carried a gun on his back, and if he suddenly attacked, the other party should not have time to shoot, but he only had a long nail, and there was no guarantee that he would be able to kill with one shot.

Forcibly peeing is quite a test of kidney function, barely squeezing out a few drops, Hou Xiong really can't pretend anymore, secretly restrains his mind, puts his hand in his pocket and grasps the nail, turns around and squeezes out an embarrassed smile, and says, "That, can you borrow a fire." ”

The security guard in the pit was stunned for a moment, then nodded, took out the lighter from his pocket and handed it over.

Hou Xiong swallowed his saliva, kept calm and approached the security, and took the lighter from him, the two were less than half a meter apart at this time, and the security guard was squatting, which was the perfect time to start.

Hou Xiong's hand holding the spike was not pulled out for a long time, and he hesitated.

The squatting pit security guard was a little strange, looked up and saw him standing in front of him in a daze, raised his eyebrows, and laughed: "No smoke and no fire?" ”

"Huh? Ang..."Hou Xiong smiled awkwardly and said, "Everything has been collected and forgotten." ”

"Give." The squatting pit security attitude was not bad, twisted his body and took out a box of unpackaged cigarettes from his trouser pocket and handed it to him, coughed, and said, "Don't worry, you are from the city after passing the physical examination, and nothing will be missing you." ”

"Thank you." Hou Xiong took out a cigarette and lit it, and returned the cigarette case to him, as if it had roots under his feet, and he couldn't go, and he couldn't stay.

The squatting pit security guard snuffed out the cigarette butt, smiled, and said, "Dude, do you mind going back?" I can't pull it out because you're looking at me like this. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hou Xiong was embarrassed, hurriedly took a few steps back, his brain was in chaos, thinking about what to do next.

The squatting pit security guard didn't bother him, frowned and looked at it for a while, and smacked his lips: "Your injury is not light, why did you get it?" ”

"It's burning." Hou Xiong tugged at the corners of his mouth and replied dryly: "The camp is on fire, and I didn't have time to run." ”

"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed." The squatting pit security nodded, seeing that his face was not very good-looking, and said: "There is a hospital in our city, wait for you to arrange a labor position, save some money for an operation, my buddy was also burned, the hospital can do plastic surgery, although it is not as good as the original, but it is much stronger than when I was just injured." ”

"Huh?" Hou Xiong was stunned, but he didn't expect the security guard to chat with him.

"We have everything in the city, don't worry, the cost is not too high, work hard to earn money, and let my buddy introduce you to a doctor when it's over." The squatting security guard grinned, a series of farts broke out behind him, spread out the paper and wiped his buttocks.

At this time, the squatting pit security completely left his back to Hou Xiong, and his eyes were not on him, as long as Hou Xiong stepped forward and nailed the blood-stained spike into the back of his neck, the task was successfully completed. Hou Xiong subconsciously raised his steps, but the nail in his pocket was still held in the palm of his hand and could not be pulled out, if the hesitation at the previous moment was because of hesitation and nervousness, then the stagnation at this time was because he didn't want to, he didn't want to.

Hou Xiong had a strange feeling, just a few words of small talk, inexplicably, made him feel a kind of kindness, a long-lost kindness. He didn't know why he felt this way, at a certain moment, he suddenly wanted to cry, and for no reason he remembered the girl who died around the island, once upon a time, he was the same as this squatting pit security, whether it was in the Gaoyang team or in the riverbank camp, he could get along well with everyone, at that time, no one would hate him, he could talk and laugh with Xu Aifei and Gu Li, and live a plain life with everyone, everything was so natural.

When did you change yourself?

Hou Xiong was distracted, he remembered that sunny afternoon, the young man with an indifferent face rushed into the warehouse and killed the boyfriend of the girl he liked with a knife. Since then, many things have been different, his former companions have alienated him, the girls he likes are reluctant to talk to him, and the friends who used to get along day and night are vying to be pawns of the young man who brought bad luck, and they are dismissive of him and sneer at him.

He also reflected, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, did everyone have to look up to him? All should like him unconditionally and surrender to him?

Betrayal, abandonment, failure, pain...... For a period of time in the future, Hou Xiong's whole person was wrapped in all kinds of negative emotions, and God spared him his life, but he didn't know what else to do with this residual breath. Later, when he was dying, he met the blonde girl, resentful and unwilling to let him be easily used, he participated in the plan to destroy the roundabout, and pressed the detonator button in his hand at the moment when the train station exploded. However, the blonde girl did not fulfill her promise, and she was discarded again like garbage, and with the last trace of thought, he went to the roundabout, wanting to take one more look at the girl, and then end her life.

The last wish was still not fulfilled, and the girl who had been thinking about it for a long time had been dead, but she didn't know it, at that moment, Hou Xiong felt that her soul was completely torn apart. According to the message left by Chef Niangjia before leaving, he went to the Mercy Grace Cemetery and found Xu Aifei's tombstone, where he meditated for a long time, as if he suddenly understood why God left him alive, was it to let himself guard her from now on?

"Not so."

Ming Junwei appeared in the cemetery two days later, and after listening to his story, he said the four words on it lightly.

Ming Junwei said that since he is alive, he must do something, otherwise he might as well die. He also said that he was going to go on a long trip and needed a helper, and asked him if he would like to go on the road and go for a ride.

Hou Xiong couldn't understand why he agreed, maybe it was just because Ming Junwei said he needed him? Maybe it's because he also told a story about a girl? No matter what the reason was, he agreed, and followed Ming Junwei on a journey with no end in sight.

And at that moment just now, Hou Xiong was shaken, was it necessary for him to risk his life to help Ming Junwei kill this person who showed kindness to him?

At that moment just now, Hou Xiong suddenly remembered that he had never killed anyone, although he had fantasized about using his sword Song Jiu countless times, but in fact, he had never ended another person's life with his own hands.

……

"Hello?" The squatting security guard lifted his pants, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you want?" ”

Hou Xiong's wandering thoughts suddenly pulled back, his expression changed slightly, he was stunned for a long time, and muttered: "No, no..."

"You're really interesting, running to the toilet and thinking about life?" The squatting security guard smiled, fastened his belt and walked out, then turned back and said, "Dude, can you sell me a kitten?" ”

"Huh?" Hou Xiong turned his head in a daze, his palm suddenly hurt, and the long nail in his hand cut through the skin.

"Kittens." The squatting security guard walked back again, blinked, and said, "I saw it in the afternoon, you have a dog, and several cats, I have loved cats since I was a child, there are few in the city, can you sell me one?" Whichever is yours. ”

"Okay, okay." Hou Xiong took a deep breath, relieved the boiling emotions in his heart, and squeezed out a smile: "I'll give you one." ”

The squatting pit security was happy, affectionately grabbed Hou Xiong's shoulder, hugged him out of the toilet, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, buddy doesn't take advantage of you, you go back first, I'll say hello to the boss." ”

……

Hou Xiong returned to the room, looking in a trance, looking at Ming Junwei who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and shook his head gently.

Ming Junwei stared at him for a long time, nodded silently, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, forget it, think of other ways." ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, the two were silent, sitting side by side on the edge of the bed, each thinking about something, the cat and dog family slept soundly, and the purr was even.

"Do you have to kill someone?" Hou Xiong felt a little dry in his mouth, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Huh?" Ming Junwei was still thinking about a way to get out of trouble, and was stunned for a moment when he heard his words: "What? ”

"No, it's fine." Hou Xiong sighed, turned his head to stare at Ming Junwei's side face, and asked, "If you hadn't taken her away back then, would she still be alive?" ”

"Huh?" His thoughts were interrupted again, and Ming Junwei vaguely noticed a hint of strangeness, and frowned: "Who?" ”

"Xia Yu, the girl who saved you." Hou Xiong looked strange and raised his eyebrows.

Ming Junwei didn't speak, his eyes became complicated, his eyes met, and the strange atmosphere in the air became more and more intense.

Before the two could speak again, there was a knock on the door, and a face poked in.

"Hey, you didn't sleep, did you?" The squatting security guard showed a bright smile and flashed in sideways, holding a bunch of things in his hands, including beer, snacks, and cigarettes.

Ming Junwei's face changed drastically, he glanced at Hou Xiong who was in a daze, forcibly stabilized his mind, his expression returned to normal, and said in surprise: "This is...?" ”

"Come on, come on." The squatting pit security guard snapped the latch with his backhand, threw the food and drink on the table, and smiled at Hou Xiong: "Didn't you eat in the afternoon, you're welcome, what about the cats, show me." ”

Ming Junwei didn't move, was silent, and turned his inquiring gaze to Hou Xiong.

Hou Xiong smiled, got up to make way of the place, and squatted in the pit to see a family of sleeping cats and dogs, their eyes were shining, completely like a child, lying on the side of the bed, looking at the sleeping kitten, with a doting smile on his face, stretching out his fingers and scratching the hot belly of the cat cub. The kitten chirped in his mouth, his four little paws opened his fingers, and his little furry head arched inward, sleeping soundly.

"Hey, hey, hey." The squatting pit security guard was happy, gently stroked the silky fur of the cat cub, and said with a smile: "I want this!" Price you open! As long as I can bear it! ”

Ming Junwei's gaze fell on the rifle behind him, and he glanced at Hou Xiong, whose face was complicated, and he stopped talking.

"You want to buy a cat?" Ming Junwei raised an eyebrow.

"Ang, didn't this buddy tell you?" The enthusiasm on the face of the squatting pit security guard was undiminished, and he got up and grabbed Ming Junwei's hand and shook it for a while: "Okay?" I want one, I pay for it, and I will never let you suffer. ”

Ming Junwei was a little confused, looked at Hou Xiong with a strange expression, vaguely guessed something, immediately nodded with a smile, got up and walked to the table, opened a can of beer and poured it, and said, "No problem." As he spoke, he glanced at Hou Xiong, spread his hand, and hooked it.

Hou Xiong hesitated, and the nails in his hand were sweaty.

There was a strange light flashing in Ming Junwei's eyes, he closed his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly reached into his pocket, and couldn't help but say that he had snatched the nail.

Hou Xiong wanted to speak, but Ming Junwei's eyes made him a little frightened, this one-eyed dragon who had been drunk and dreamed of death all the way suddenly seemed to be a different person.

The squatting pit security guard was answered, and he was very happy, squatting beside the bed and teasing the cat cub, meowing and muttering in his mouth, and he was so happy that he completely forgot about the two people behind him.

"Interesting, huh, the female cat lives with the male dog with her cubs, huh? Hahaha, I'm going to give birth to a puppy in the future, and I'll have to buy it-"

On the ground, the strong wind behind his head hit, and the happy words of the squatting pit security guard were broken in two, and a huge force choked his throat, and the air in his lungs was losing wildly. The squatting security guard's brain was blank, and he didn't understand what was going on at all, and the cat and dog in front of him were sleeping peacefully, but they suddenly became blurry. There was a slight stinging pain in the throat, and then it was cold, and the bloody arrows shot out, splashing the cat cubs all over their bodies.
