Ji Xiaoou was pushed into the room with her mouth covered, and the security door closed heavily behind her. At that moment, her eyes darkened, and she whispered in her heart: It's over, burglary! In an instant, countless tragic cases flew through her mind, and in addition to being frightened, she actually had time to think that the more than 4,000 flowing water collected in the safe today, along with the hundreds of yuan in the wallet, were simply given to the robbers, but please God forbid, he only robbed money and not sex, and would not harm the innocent.

Just when she was desperately trying to breathe smoothly and was about to take a cooperative posture, the strength in her waist suddenly loosened, something soft and rough touched her ears, and the hot breath sprayed behind her ears, and a familiar voice whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, it's me!" ”

Her neck stiffened. After the excessive startle, the sudden relaxation made her legs limp, and she almost fell to the ground. She tried to turn back, but she couldn't move. It was a long time before her eyes began to refocus, and she slowly turned around in his arms and stood face to face with him.

The two were so close that his hawthorn, which had not been shaved for days, pierced her face, and the sound of his chin rubbing against her hair was like the wind sweeping through the weeds. She smelled a smell, but no longer a mixture of shaving water, boric acid soap and a touch of tobacco, but a cloudy smell that could only be smelled in the ticket hall of the train station during the Spring Festival, the complex smell of countless people's body odor, long-unwashed clothes, stale food, and moldy luggage.

She subconsciously tilted her head back to avoid the impact of the smell. This imperceptible movement allowed her to see clearly the person in front of her in a police uniform, as well as his chapped lips due to dehydration.

She took another step back. The other party understood this body language with a sense of evasion, and let go of the arm around her waist. He didn't speak the whole time, he was waiting for her reaction, his silent waiting was more oppressive to her than the complex smell.

Ji Xiaoou was stunned for a moment, and finally stepped forward again and hugged him tightly.

"Rigorous, you ...... Are you out? Her voice was faint, with a hint of hesitation, as if to confirm that she was in a dream.

Rigorous bowed his head. Her arms hung loosely and did not respond to her hug. The light in the hallway was bright, and he saw a hairline on the back of her neck. Her neck was very white, and it was so black and striking that it had been so dark that it had been so striking that it had reached his heart. He smelled the scent of shampoo in her hair, and he wanted to tell her, yes, I came out, acquitted. But all he could do in the end was break her hands and push her away from his body.

"It's not." He finally spoke, not intending to lie to her at all, and told the truth, "I escaped, escaped from the detention center." ”

Ji Xiaoou jumped away as if he was being burned by fire. She stared at Rigor with wide eyes, and Rigor looked at her too, neither of them spoke. There was silence in the room. It seems that a * has just fallen, and it has exploded with a bang, and now it is a thick cloud of smoke and dust condensed in the air, and an auditory vacuum is forming around it. Then the smoke cleared, and the stunned person came to her senses, and she forced a laugh: "Are you coaxing me to play?" You're kidding me, aren't you? ”

Rigor shook his head: "I'm serious." ”

"Why?" Ji Xiaoou's voice suddenly raised, "Didn't you specifically ask Yan Shen to tell me that you didn't kill Zhan Yu?" Why did you run away without killing? ”

In fact, from the first glance of seeing Rigor clearly, countless overly embarrassing details have sounded the alarm in her mind, and Rigor has only verified the guess she is most unwilling to face. But at this moment, she didn't think of her own situation, but remembered the conversation with Yan Shen, and remembered a question she had been tossing and turning repeatedly in the past two months-a question that she was afraid of getting a real answer, but also desperately wanted to get a real answer: Did he kill Zhan Yu?

"Shhhh Yan Shen raised his hand and touched her lips lightly, "Have you seen Yan Shen?" ”

"Yes, she approached me."

"And do you believe what I say?"

Ji Xiaoou was still staring at his eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "I believe in you, I have always believed in you!" But tell me, why did you escape from the detention center? You do this...... Do this...... How else do you make me believe in you? ”

Her words made Rigor shudder, and her heart sank down like a heavy piece of lead, and the force of the fall was so painful that her internal organs were a little painful.

"Come here, let me cuddle." His hand stretched out, Ji Xiaoou let go of his shoulder, dodged, and his rigorous hand fell into the air, hanging in the air without landing. "What's wrong? I can't hug it? He laughed, only one corner of his mouth curled, as if mocking everything, including himself, "I can't hug the girl I like?" ”

Ji Xiaoou's expression was very nervous: "You were acquitted, are you really lying to me?" ”

"Don't be afraid, I won't bother you." Rigor put his hands in his trouser pockets, his face was still smiling, smiling like a pure second-rate person, "Before I came in, I had already looked around, there were no plainclothes and secret whistles, it seems that the police haven't noticed you yet." I used to be a scout, so I still have a little bit of eyesight, don't worry. ”

"I'm not afraid of you!" Ji Xiaoou was anxious, "I mean you're crazy?" Why did you run away when you didn't kill anyone? Why? ”

"If I tell you, I ran out to tell you face to face, I didn't kill Zhan Yu. Do you think I'm a stupid ×? ”

Ji Xiaoou looked up at him, looking at this man who had intertwined curiosity and reality, temptation and adventure in her heart, like looking at a ridiculous dream at midnight. She hoped that this ridiculous dream would not continue, and that she would have to find a way out of what had kept her struggling for more than two months.

So she replied, "I have always wanted to believe in you, that you are innocent." But you first have to convince me that you didn't kill anyone, why would the police suspect you? Why run away if you don't kill anyone? ”

Rigor looked at her for a while. Yes, this is the real Ji Xiaoou, from the beginning, she is willing to believe in everyone, but she is stingy and refuses to give him the most basic trust. The heat that was hidden deep in my heart instantly turned into a cold stream that ran down the back of my head and down my spine. He smiled resignedly, and instead of continuing the topic, he raised his chin toward the north room, "Can I go in and sit and talk?" ”

Ji Xiaoou hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his eyes and took a step back, making way for the narrow passage before going out.

Rigorous walked in, sat on her small bed, took off her hat and threw it on the computer desk next to her, and then sighed: "I haven't seen each other for so long, and I have come all the way to not even have a cup of tea?" I didn't think you were so ignorant before, did you? ”

Ji Xiaoou's gaze fell on his chapped lips. The room was too small, and as soon as Rigor walked in, the complex smell became more and more obvious, carrying the cold of the outdoors that had not yet dissipated, and carrying the cold from another world that she was not familiar with. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if she was calming, but her eyes were very blank, and her every move was out of order.

Rigor watched her turn around and walk out of the door, and heard her move very loudly to open the door of the water dispenser, and then there was the sound of gurgling water, the sound kept ringing, all the time, and suddenly Ji Xiaoou screamed, as if he had thrown off something. Then came the sound of her rushing into the kitchen and turning on the faucet to release the water.

Rigor wanted to stand up and take a look, but from the first step he stepped into this room, the heat in his face drained him of his last strength, and his whole body fluttered lightly as if he was stepping on a pile of cotton. After a day of nervous tension, once relaxed, his body spared no effort to drag him back, dizzy as if he had fallen off a high-speed spinning wheel during the first balance training of the year, and everything in front of him seemed to float in the water, staggering and there was nowhere to focus. And the hue grew darker and darker, darker and darker, and finally sank into an infinite darkness.

Ji Xiaoou soaked his hand in the cold water and washed it for a long time, but there were still a few patches of pink on the back of his hand, which was the mark of boiling water. She was too absent-minded just now, and mistook the boiling water button of the water dispenser for the warm water button, and the boiling water that overflowed the cup overflowed the back of her hand, and a sharp pain made her wake up.

She rushed for a long time, taking the opportunity to calm down the chaotic state of mind, and then she had the courage to go back. She turned off the faucet and went back to the hall to pour a new glass of warm water. Just as he was about to go to the back, he thought about it and stopped, opened the safe in the hidden place, took out the thousands of dollars inside, and put it in an envelope.

When she returned to the north room, she found Cheng Cheng lying on the bed with her face tilted inward. The bed was too short to fit his two long legs, so his legs hung limply beside the bed.

She walked over, put the glass on the bedside table, and called out, "Rigorous? He didn't move, nothing happened. She pushed him hard: "Rigorous, wake up!" He still didn't move.

Ji Xiaoou frowned, turned sideways to look at his face, but saw that his eyes were closed, his breathing was heavy, and he looked unconscious. She was startled, knowing that something was wrong, and reached out to touch his forehead, and sure enough, it was hot, like touching a piece of coals that had just been picked up from the ash heap, and even the breath sprayed on the back of her hand was hot.

Ji Xiaoou buzzed in his ears, his legs suddenly lost strength, and he stumbled and sat on the bed board. At this moment she had realized that what she thought could be easily solved was hurtling in an uncontrollable direction. The room was very quiet, except for the unclosed ticking of the kitchen faucet, which was the sound of rigorous and rapid breathing. She sat dumbfounded for a long time, staring blankly at his face. She had known each other for a year, and she had never had such an opportunity to scrutinize every line of his face. Under the bright fluorescent lamp, the details of that face were both familiar and unfamiliar, the two black circles under the eyes, tired as if they had just walked through a hundred miles of desert, and the beard on the chin and cheeks that had not been shaved for several days grew unscrupulously, like a wilderness after a summer rain. The tip of her heart trembled as if it had been electrified, and the nerves in her whole body convulsed for a moment because of the distress. And after experiencing from fright to fear to distress, the right and wrong in her heart were completely forgotten.

She sat in silence for a long time, her mind full of rigor, the last glances between the two after kissing in the snow before the arrest. She didn't even know that she had been sitting there for more than half an hour. Rigor finally moved, she came back to her senses, her eyes didn't dare to blink, but he rolled over and fell asleep, rubbing his head and neck and not finding a comfortable position, his shoulders were tightly clenched, and he looked like he was too cold to shrink.

Ji Xiaoou leaned down, patted his cheek, and softly called his name: "Rigorous, rigorous?" Can you hear me? You wake up, take off your clothes and go back to sleep, I really can't move you! ”

Rigorous's eyelashes fluttered a few times, as if trying to open his eyes, but to no avail.

Ji Xiaoou had no choice but to do it himself, picked up his upper body with great difficulty, stuffed a pillow under his neck, lifted his legs to the bed and laid them flat, and gently took off his leather shoes. She saw several large blood blisters on her back ankles, oozing blood sticking the newly exposed delicate flesh and socks together, and when she carefully tore the socks from the flesh adhesions, she couldn't help but gasp, as if the bloody wound was growing on her body.

Closing her eyes and taking a few breaths, she reached out to unbutton his jacket - the navy blue police uniform with copper buttons, and then she found that in addition to this thin uniform, the temperature was still below ten degrees outside, and she had to wear a down jacket when she went out, and he was wearing only a light blue uniform shirt, not even a thermal underwear inside. Dressed so thinly, it's no wonder he has a fever.

It took a lot of effort for her to rip off all of his clothes, pinch his nose and throw it in the washing machine. Then he took out a thick duvet from the cabinet and covered him. Rigor finally slept peacefully.

Ji Xiaoou stood on the side of the bed, sorted out the mess in his head, and finally sorted out a clue. The mind is clear, and the heart is calm. She locked the door and went out. I went to a nearby 24-hour pharmacy and bought a thermometer, fever reducer, and ice packs. I called my parents and lied that it was inconvenient to go home tonight. I called the store manager Xiaoyun again and told her the inside news she had just received that the industry health inspection in the past few days would temporarily close the store for two days. Then send a group text message to customers who have made reservations in the last few days, informing them that the store will be temporarily closed due to special circumstances and canceling all reservations. Finally, a handwritten notice saying "Temporarily closed" was posted on the door of the store. After doing all this, she said to herself: Ji Xiaoou, it seems that you are fully prepared to harbor and shield the fugitives.

Scared? Really scared. She had always thought that she was a very independent person, but now she realized that it was just because she hadn't encountered anything major before, and knew that no matter how much she messed around, there were always parents standing behind her, enough to clean up all the mess for her. Only this time, she understood that she had to make a decision alone, that she could not consult with anyone, and that she could only bear the consequences on her own, and that no one could help her.

Because this time, what she may have violated will be a ruthless law.

In the most difficult moment, the only help she thought of was God. Ji Xiaoou knelt in front of the bed with folded hands and prayed softly.

That night, it burned badly. He rarely gets sick, so his illness is menacing, and it seems to release all the damage accumulated by his irregular work and rest. Ji Xiaoou guarded him all night, watching the red line on the thermometer rush all the way, almost reaching forty degrees. Fortunately, she was born in a family of doctors, and she knew that it was just a stress reaction caused by the virus, so she was able to stay in danger and take adequate cooling measures. When she was delirious, she refused to cooperate with the medicine, so she could only crush the aspirin and dissolve it in the water, and feed it little by little with a small spoon. In his sleep, he swallowed half of the medicine and vomited half of it, but the residual effect of the medicine played a role after all, and at seven o'clock in the morning, his body temperature finally dropped to thirty-eight degrees.

Rigorous woke up. Barely opened his eyes, and the unfamiliar environment in front of him made him trance, and he didn't know where he was for a while. He tried to raise his arms, but his body felt like it didn't belong to him, like the countless nightmares he had experienced, too heavy to move. He knew that it would always take some time for the soul and body to coincide after a nightmare, and he was waiting for this coincidence, closing his eyes and leaving his body to a pair of warm and safe hands.

The hands were wiping his body with a warm towel, and he could clearly distinguish the rough texture of the towel and the tenderness of the skin between his fingers. The hands passed over his arms and neck, and suddenly rested on his cheeks, and he didn't move for a long time. Then he seemed to hear soft sobbing.

Rigor couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, he opened his eyes again and saw those warm and clean hands. The nails are trimmed short close to the fingertips, without any modifications. Although the fingers are long, there are still shallow dimples on the back of the hand, which will deepen or become shallow with the movement of the hand.

His gaze moved upwards and saw the tears on Ji Xiaoou's face and the sweat on his forehead. Rigor finally raised his hand and put it on her cheek, but he didn't know whether to wipe her sweat or tears first. Ji Xiaoou just stared at him for a long time, then suddenly jumped up as if frightened, turned around and rushed out of the door.

She rushed into the bathroom and closed the door. In order to cry for a while without being disturbed. The struggles and fears of this night were known only to her, and she was constantly worried that the sound of a siren would suddenly sound outside the window, and that the door would be kicked open by the heavily loaded police. More than ten hours of tremendous pressure was finally dug up by a simple action of rigorous to open the gap, which made her cry bitterly in the collapse.

The north-facing windows of the bathroom are covered with translucent blackout film, and the light that comes in makes everything have a faint layer of white, including myself in the mirror.

She lifted the water to wash away the tears on her face, and when she looked up again, she saw in the mirror that Cheng Yan pushed open the door and walked in, wearing her down jacket. She turned her face away, not wanting to look at the two people in the mirror anymore, as if that way she could escape the unpredictable consequences of her own choice. But she knew he was already approaching her.

He stood behind her, silently looking at her in the mirror, so quiet that he seemed to hold his breath, until her gaze turned back, and he looked at him in the mirror in the same daze. Her slightly nervous breath sprayed on the mirror, forming a wet mist, and her description in the mirror faded into blurring, her eyebrows melting behind the thin droplets of water.

She didn't know what she was saying. Rigor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled. Ji Xiaoou really admires his ability to laugh no matter what the situation. Then, for some reason, she found herself turned to face him, with the cold walls of the bathroom behind her.

Rigor propped his hands on the wall behind her, encircled her in his arms, leaned forward, but did not approach her, just maintained a laborious posture and looked at her, half a foot away from her.

Ji Xiaoou's nasal cavity was blocked again, making her dizzy. But this time, she must not let the tears fall again, and she bit her lower lip.

The rigorous gaze seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and it couldn't hold it anymore, and it fell, falling on her sweaty neck. Slowly, it landed on her sharply undulating chest. He saw her frightened and overwhelmed, but in those black and white eyes, there was a certain courage that bordered on breaking a boat.

Finally, his lips were close, like those of a baby with milk.

Ji Xiaoou closed his eyes and understood that he was finished. Fang Cai's already fluttering sentence "You go and turn yourself in" will be easily torn apart by his kiss.

But the strict lips only touched her lips like a dragonfly, and then left. She heard him say, "I'm sorry! ”

Ji Xiaoou held his breath and waited for dozens of seconds, but he didn't see any movement, and his front was suddenly empty, as if he had moved away. When she opened her eyes, she saw him with his head down, trying to close his slender women's down jacket, trying to cover his bare upper body.

"What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will insult you? ”

"You don't know how much I wish you could insult me!" Rigor gave up his futile efforts and reluctantly tied the down jacket to his body with his belt, "I tried so hard to seduce you before, I hoped that you would take the initiative to insult me, but your performance disappointed me too much." I've never seen a woman more incomprehensible than you! ”。

Ji Xiaoou didn't expect him to fall to such a point and still have the heart to talk to her, but instead remembered the night he kicked him to the hospital, so he had to lower his head and be thick-skinned, and let him go to the wind and cool.

Strict mouth is poor, but he is really sad in his heart, especially when he heard Ji Xiaoou's suppressed cry outside the bathroom just now. Looking at her slightly lowered eyes, he couldn't help but put his lips to her cheek again, kissed her quite loudly, and said, "I have to go, I can't harm you anymore." Last night...... I'll find a chance to thank you for last night's events......"

Ji Xiaoou smiled bitterly: "Do you know now that you are harming me?" What did you do earlier? I'm telling you, even if you leave now, it's too late. You stayed with me all night, I knew you were a fugitive, but I didn't call the police, I did this to harbor the crime of harboring, you know? ”

Rigor couldn't laugh anymore: "Then what do you want?" ”

"What are you going to do next?"

"I don't want to tell you. Knowing too much is not good for you. ”

"You don't dare to say it, do you? You and I are accomplices, what are you afraid of? Afraid I'll call the police? ”

"I'm really telling you, if I dare to come to you, I'm not afraid that you will call the police."

Ji Xiaoou stared at him: "What do I want to report really?" ”

Spread his hands rigorously and freely: "Then I accept my fate." ”

The three words "I accept my fate" hit Ji Xiaoou hard, and she lowered her head: "Okay, then you go quickly, don't wait for me to regret it." ”

Rigor said: "It doesn't matter if I turn myself in or do something else, you have to return the clothes to me, I can't go out and run naked, right?" ”

After his clothes were washed, they were still wet and hung on the radiator, and Ji Xiaoou didn't dare to dry them at all. She touched her pocket, took out the envelope containing the money and put it in his palm, and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go to the supermarket next door to buy two clothes." Don't go out of this room, no matter what goes outside until I come back. ”

"Yes." Rigor saluted her: "I want to trouble you, help me bring a card for Shenzhou Xing." ”

Ji Xiaoou looked back at him, didn't say anything, closed the door and went out.

Listen rigorously to her footsteps through the store, the sound of opening and closing the door of the store, the crisp sound of the wind chimes at the door, the rolling shutter door outside the door of the store rolled up and down, and then the room fell silent, only the small window on the north side, through the thick curtains came the faint laughter of the children in the community.

After sitting for a while, his stomach began to squirm, reminding him once again of the fact that he had not eaten for a day and a night. He stood up and crept to the kitchen. There was a pot of white porridge on the stovetop, piping hot, as if it had just been cooked. He couldn't wait to cool down, and gently opened the drawer and refrigerator to check. The refrigerator was stocked with all kinds of beauty products, and he rummaged through them for a long time, but only found a few raw eggs. Fortunately, there are still two packets of instant noodles in the drawer, and when I open the package, I feel a smell of age. But no matter how bad the taste is, it is also food, after chewing the two packs of instant noodles, and going to take a hot bath, he felt that the various organs of his body began to return to normal operating order, and then he opened the bulging envelope.

He never imagined that the envelope was a pile of 100 yuan denominations, about four or five thousand. He twisted the pink banknotes into a fan shape, held them in front of his eyes and looked at them for a long time, and a helpless smile gradually appeared on his face.

Finally, it was the computer and network cable in the corner that caught his attention. It's been a long time since he's had contact with the outside world, and he's hungry for any news from the outside world. He was sure that Ji Xiaoou would understand his presumptuousness, so he sat down in front of the computer and turned on the power of the main computer.

A blue sky and white clouds appeared on the computer screen, and he immediately visited the search page and typed in the keyword "Zhan Yu case". The search results were full of pages, and almost every question was linked to Zhan Yu's name. He clicked on a few links at random, but before he could understand the content, without warning, the phone in the store suddenly rang, and his movements stopped.

The phone rang again and again, and finally stopped with a whimper.

Rigor exhales softly and slowly relaxes his body little by little. As soon as I looked at a few lines, the door in the outer corridor facing the interior of the community was banged again. A man's voice shouted: "Ji Xiaoou! Ji Xiaoou! Are you in the house? Xiaoou! Xiaoou! You open the door! ”

The blood in his body clotted again, and he sat motionless, even his breathing becoming inaudible.

The man's shouting and knocking on the door suddenly stopped at the same time, and then Ji Xiaoou's voice was heard, which was louder than she usually spoke.

"Lin Haipeng, what kind of nerves do you have?"

The man's voice: "What did you do?" Why don't you answer your phone? ”

"I'm in the supermarket, where can I hear the noise? What did you just shout? ”

"Did you watch the news online today? Did you see that boyfriend's wanted warrant? You don't answer the phone call to you, you don't answer the phone in the store, I specially asked for leave to come to you, your store is not open, and the roller shutter door at the door is open again, do you say I'm worried or not? ”

Ji Xiaoou snorted: "What are you worried about?" ”

"Of course I'm worried about you. What kind of bag do you carry in your hand? Hurry up and open the door, and I'll help you get it in. ”

"Let go, I don't need your help! Lin Haipeng, didn't you see me? I'm fine, you can go. ”

"What are you doing? Xiaoou, I'm at the door, you have to invite me in and sit down anyway. ”

Rigor stepped barefoot on the cold ground, quietly opened the door of the north house, walked through the corridor, slowly walked to the back of the security door, and stood against the wall. The eye quickly scanned the room, and found no one to take advantage of. He could only move his finger joints slowly, like in slow motion in a movie, and kept the crunch of the joints to a minimum.

The conversation outside the door continues.

"Lin Haipeng, don't you think you're bored? If you are abroad, I can accuse you of sexual harassment, and the police can strictly prohibit you from approaching me within 50 meters. ”

"Xiaoou, why are you so ignorant? I really care, you know? The affairs of the Zhan family are so big, and it will be a death sentence sooner or later, and if he runs away like this, he will be even more convicted, you will be stupid! ”

Ji Xiaoou's tone was very impatient: "Okay, I thank you, go quickly!" I'm not feeling well today, and my patience is limited, so don't force me to say something unpleasant! ”

The male voice outside the door finally fell silent. Waiting rigorously and quietly, you can clearly feel the passage of seconds. After the silence, there was a sudden sound, like an earth-shattering shock, it was the key inserted into the lock hole, and it was turning with a click. The doorknob was twisted, and the door was slowly pushed open a slit.

Hold your breath and slowly raise your arms to prepare for an elbow strike.

The door opened, but only Ji Xiaoou walked in alone. She slammed the door, threw the plastic bag in her hand on the ground, and let out a sigh against the door, only to find the gecko-like creeping rigor on the wall.

She pressed her hand to her chest and glared at Yan with a completely frightened look: "......What are you going to do?"

Before she finished speaking, her mouth was tightly covered. Rigor dragged her all the way into the bathroom, closed the door, and whispered in her ear: "People are gone?" ”

Ji Xiaoou was still frightened, nodding desperately, and made a few sounds.

Rigorous let go of his hand and patted her face as comfort: "What person?" Your new boyfriend? ”

"What's the matter with you?" Ji Xiaoou came back to his senses from the fright, touched his lips that were knocked by his teeth, and angrily repeated the question that had just been interrupted, "What are you trying to do behind the door?" Extinguish the mouth? Ho, aren't you even afraid to call the police? ”

Rigorous sneered, revealing a "reasonably" sneer, and said word by word: "I, yes, afraid, you, suffer, even, tired, do you understand?" If he sees me, you're really harboring. He wrung her face, "Fool! ”

Ji Xiaoou glanced at him, knocked his hand off, turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Rigor followed out, watching her open the plastic bag and throw the contents in front of him one by one. A puffer jacket, a cardigan, sweatpants, a cotton undershirt, panties, socks, and finally a pair of sneakers, and a black baseball cap with a long brim.

Rigor picked up the two clothes and looked at them, and smiled: "The size is quite appropriate, especially the underwear, have you measured it yourself?" ”

Ji Xiaoou ignored him, turned his back to him, and said, "You hurry up and change your clothes." ”

Rigor smiled while wearing: "Didn't you read and touch everything I should see and shouldn't see up and down last night?" What's in it here? ”

Ji Xiaoou said sharply: "Can you show a little respect?" ”

Strict and good-tempered: "Here you go again!" Okay, okay, I'll be respectful. He put on a cardigan, "You can turn around, Ji respects comrade." Oh, I suddenly found out that your surname is really good, and it is ready-made to have a son in the future. For example, the Ji Cun Office, well, the name is very public-minded and loving. Season under the fence? It's a little longer, but the four-character name will definitely not be the same as someone else's. How about the Quarterly Inspection Committee? This name is the best, and there are people who pat you everywhere you go, and you won't be bullied......"

Ji Xiaoou turned to glare at him, and both eyebrows were raised: "Shut up!" ”

Rigor finally zipped up the down jacket and touched her face again, "You look the best when you're angry, you only look big, you don't feel big at all." ”

Ji Xiaoou pulled his hand away: "Shut up!" ”

Rigorous smiled and nodded: "Okay, shut up." He picked up the envelope from the table, grabbed her hand, placed the envelope in her palm, and closed her palms, "Put it away." ”

Ji Xiaoou stubbornly spread his two palms, "Why don't you accept it?" Is it too little? ”

"Quite a few! But I never planned to die in the world, and I didn't need this money at all! ”

Her body seemed to shudder slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him.

Rigorously kissed her on the head: "Xiaoou, find someone better than me in the future." ”

Ji Xiaoou's eyes seemed to be red, but he still had a hard mouth: "It's better than you to be a man, don't worry about it." ”

Rigorous smiled, "Then I'll go." ”

Ji Xiaoou stretched out his arms and stopped in front of the door: "Where are you going?" ”

"Find someone."

"Who deserves your jail break?"

Yan Yan propped himself on the door with one hand and looked down at her with a smile: "You're worried about a woman, right?" ”

Ji Xiaoou's face sank: "Are you serious?" ”

Yan Yan smiled and twisted her face, "Don't think too much about Xiaoou." This person is important. I came out to find him. Only by finding him can I be innocent. ”

Ji Xiaoou's face instantly changed several expressions: "What about after you find him?" ”

"Listen to you, I'll go back and turn myself in."

"Turn yourself in? You're not lying to me, are you? ”

"Ji Xiaoou, you touch your conscience and think about it, since we have known each other, when did I lie to you?"

Ji Xiaoou looked at him seriously, and the contradictions and suspicions in his eyes finally began to disappear bit by bit. She let go of her left hand, which she had been clenching. In her left hand, she held a mobile phone card from Shenzhou Xing. She took Rigorous's hand, put the mobile phone card in his palm, and took out her own mobile phone and put it in his palm.

Rigorous was very surprised, he looked at the card and mobile phone in his hand, and then at Ji Xiaoou, and couldn't help but pull her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you." He spoke with some difficulty, as if his throat was choked by something.

Rigor hid in the bathroom and made a phone call. He has been operating on the scene for more than ten years, and there will always be some special arrangements to deal with emergencies and accidents, which he usually does not use easily. After making the call, he and Ji Xiaoou were in the small north room of less than nine square meters, lying down and sitting one by one, quietly waiting for it to get dark.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and the only source of light was a small television. The sound of the TV is turned off, and only the picture keeps changing. Every few hours, the news about Rigorous's escape from the detention center would be repeated on television, and the glaring wanted notice would appear on the screen.

No matter how strong the rigorous physical fitness is, he can't bear a high fever of nearly 40 degrees for a day and a night, and after eating the buns that Ji Xiaoou bought from the supermarket, he began to get confused without saying a few words, and then fell asleep. Ji Xiaoou was left sitting alone in front of the TV, the flickering light reflected on her face, her face was expressionless, and it had nothing to do with her heart.

The noise in the neighborhood grew louder, and it was the noise of the crowd after school. The light between the curtains gradually dimmed.

Rigor was awakened by the vibration sound of the mobile phone next to the pillow, he quickly sat up, read the text message, immediately deleted it, exited the SIM card, and then handed the mobile phone and card to Ji Xiaoou, and told her: "Cut the scissors and throw it at the toilet to flush it away." He added, "Throw away the rest of the stuff, including the police uniform, as soon as possible, be careful, and don't leave any trouble." ”

He put on his coat and shoes, buttoned up his baseball cap, but found that his shoelaces were loose, and just as he was about to bend over, Ji Xiaoou had already walked over and squatted down to help him tie his shoes.

He lowered his head and looked at the top of her head in a daze: "I'm leaving." ”

"Do you want to come back?"

"Nope." He shook his head and walked towards the door, the shadow of the brim of his hat completely blocked his eyes, "When I'm done, I might just go straight to the Public Security Bureau." ”

Ji Xiaoou was still squatting on the ground and didn't look up at him, "You...... Still having a fever...... You take care. ”

The hand that was placed on the lock of the door paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, opened the door and left.

Ji Xiaoou jumped up, quickly climbed into bed and opened the corner of the curtain, looked at his back as he strode away, turned an intersection, disappeared, and could no longer be seen.

She sat down in the dark, and sat for a long time, and every slight noise in the room made her heart beat and thought that rigor had returned. Looking back on the past twenty-four hours, nothing seemed real, as if it was just a dream she had, a dream whose details were too real. Only the pill boxes and cold compress packs were haphazardly stacked on the bedside table, and a pile of dismantled clothing packages on the floor, reminding her of the fact that Rigor had stayed here.

She finally lowered her head, put her phone card into the phone, and pressed the power button. After a while, text message reminders rang one after another, with customers with appointments asking when to open the store, real estate agencies selling houses, and her mother Zhao Yamin asking when she would go home.

Ji Xiaoou called Zhao Yamin back: "There will be a health inspection tomorrow, I have to prepare tonight, and I will definitely go back tomorrow night." She needed time to clean up the traces of the store's rigors, and she needed time to calm herself so that she wouldn't show her feet under her mother's scrutiny eyes.

According to her strict instructions, she shredded the mobile phone card he had used and threw it into the toilet and flushed it away. I found a big black garbage bag and swept everything I bought at the pharmacy last night, plus the packaging of those new clothes and shoes, and it was a big bag. There was only the police uniform, and she struggled with it for a while, and finally tore off the police signal on it, cut it to pieces, threw it into the toilet, and shredded her clothes and hats, and put them in several bags.

Carrying four or five black garbage bags, she walked to the garbage cans on the side of the road in the community. When she met her neighbor upstairs, the old lady greeted her with a smile: "Xiao Ji, haven't you gotten off work yet?" ”

She lowered her head and said haphazardly, "I didn't get off work, Grandma Chen." ”

Walking along the road and throwing the plastic bags into different garbage cans, she stood on the side of the road and breathed a sigh. Caught off guard by a gust of wind blowing, so strong that it was unsteady to stand, she hurriedly turned her back and closed her eyes. When the gust of wind passed, his mouth creaked, and he ate a mouthful of sand. After the season has passed, the city of Beijing has not yet ushered in the return of spring, but once again ushered in the sand and dust from outside the plug.

Rigorously walk out of the gate of the community. A half-used ordinary Honda sedan with a Hebei license plate was parked on the side of the road, and its headlights flashed twice at him. He walked over, pulled the car door open and sat straight inside.

There was only one driver in the car, and like him, wearing a low-pressed baseball cap, he stared silently ahead, and when he sat down and closed the door, he stepped on the gas pedal and turned onto the main road. Neither of them spoke, until the car drove onto the Jingtong Expressway against four or five strong winds, and there was nothing abnormal in the rearview mirror, and the driver spoke: "Actually, passports and visas are ready-made, you really don't plan to go out to avoid the limelight?" ”

Yan Yan originally leaned back on the back of the seat with his eyes closed, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes: "If I really leave, won't I be convicted of murder?" It doesn't matter if I run away, what should I do, old man? I've already affected him this time, and if I commit treason again, he won't let his opponents for many years die alive? ”

"But if you run out of the detention center like this, the actual consequences will be similar."

"The difference of one thought," Cheng Cheng looked out the window and smiled bitterly, "Do you understand what the difference of one thought is?" A lot of things in the world are just a thought. People sometimes drill into the tip of the horns, there is no other way to go, but to drill forward desperately, and when they get out, they find that they have insisted on it before, like a stupid ×. ”

The driver sighed and looked at him in the rearview mirror: "It's already like this, let's try to think about the good." Are you really planning to go alone, though? Lao Feng has been hiding for so long, whether he is trying to hide from you or not, he will be on guard. ”

"Don't worry, no one in a platoon could catch me back then, Lao Feng's small villa, isn't it trivial?

The driver's face, hidden in the shadow of the brim, finally showed a faint smile: "Little Thirteen, I hope you have good luck this time." ”

Under the cover of night, the Honda car sped all the way on the highway and drove towards Jingdong Tongzhou.
