Chapter Seventy-Six: If You Go Back to the Past
It's a scorching summer, and the heat is unbearable.
On Xishui Street, many people have shrunk back into their own small world, or walked into the mall to escape the heat.
On the street, there were few people.
Except for the beggar in ragged clothes squatting in the corner with his eyes closed, except for the woman holding a picture looking for a child, except for a stray dog with uneven hair.
There was also a man, sitting next to a community, leaning against a half-dead pine tree, he hid in the shadows, the sun could not shine on his face, only the cigarette between his fingers could be seen, burning to his heart's content, I don't know if it was burning life, or burning the pale years that would never return.
The golden characters in the auspicious community, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, at this moment, form a strong contrast with his bleak back.
He was sitting all the time and his cigarette was burning......
Until the cigarette was about to burn out, at this time, behind him, a black shadow slowly came.
"Zhiyuan!" The man tapped him on the shoulder.
Wu Zhiyuan turned his head slowly, and his cigarette burned out at this time.
"Toto!"
This is the second time Wu Zhiyuan has seen Yu Duoduo in Wucheng, only one day apart, but he feels as if many years have passed.
He hasn't changed, he's still wearing the same black clothes, the black hat, and the black bag.
But Wu Zhiyuan felt that he seemed to have changed a lot, becoming more serious, more restrained, and more moody.
"What's going on?" Wu Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, because he saw that Yu Duoduo's ears were gone!
Blood had stained his neck, and only a black cloth was wrapped around his right ear.
"It's nothing, I was just shot and knocked out, just one ear, it's not a big deal!" Yu Duoduo shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
"Who is it?" Wu Zhiyuan's eyes froze.
"Who else?" Yu Duoduo smiled and asked rhetorically.
When Wu Zhiyuan heard this, his heart ached, he already understood, who else could there be besides Huan'er?
If he can come back alive, it is already fate!
What shocked Wu Zhiyuan was that he didn't seem to feel pain.
He still remembered that when the two were in Beichuan, the dead fat man fell and hummed to death.
And now, in order to take revenge, his soul has become numb, and the pain of flesh and skin, what is the point? He doesn't care anymore!
"Let's go! Let's take care of your injuries first! ”
Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and wanted to hold him, but he saw his hand, holding the black bag tightly, so he had to shake his head helplessly.
Taking a step forward, Wu Zhiyuan took Yu Duoduo and walked into the auspicious community.
The two of them walked quickly and came to a lonely building.
Building 3, Unit 3, Block C!
"You live here?"
"Hmmm! Let's go! ”
Yu Duoduo did not doubt him, did not speak, and followed Wu Zhiyuan into the stairwell.
Wu Zhiyuan's attitude has completely shown everything, and he has no defense against himself.
Thinking of this, Yu Duoduo's already silent heart shook a trace of waves, no matter how bad the world was, no matter who he became, whether he was a beggar or a murderer, he still had a real friend.
The two were silent and went straight to the third floor.
"It's here! You hold on! ”
"It's okay!"
"Knock knock! Knock knock! Boom! ”
Wu Zhiyuan knocked on the door, three-two-one, this is the code left by Wu Zhiyuan, he told Liu Mengran that if he hears another knock, don't open the door.
Sure enough, Wu Zhiyuan had just put down his hand, and brisk footsteps sounded, and with a click, the door opened.
"Zhiyuan, you're back!"
Liu Mengran was full of smiles, but then, her smile instantly froze on her face.
Wu Zhiyuan would bring someone here, which she never expected, and besides, this person has no ears!
"Sister Mengran, this is my friend!"
Wu Zhiyuan didn't explain too much, took the lead and walked into the living room.
"Sister, go and help me make a basin of hot water!" Wu Zhiyuan shouted.
"No!" Yu Duoduo waved his hand and glanced at Liu Mengran, "Sister, please avoid it!" ”
"Oooh!" Liu Mengran came back to her senses at this time, a little worried, glanced at Wu Zhiyuan, and then walked into the room.
"I'm a doctor, you forgot!" Yu Duoduo suddenly smiled, revealing his white teeth.
"How?"
Wu Zhiyuan was in a trance, this kind of smile, he hadn't seen it for a long time, he still remembered that when he was in Beichuan, whenever Duoduo rescued someone, it was this kind of smile.
"My ears are knocked out, so it doesn't matter what I do! You can remove this black cloth and re-bandage it, I have medicine in my bag, and after the bandage, I will wash it again! ”
As soon as Yu Duoduo finished speaking, he opened his bag, and before Wu Zhiyuan could see what was in his bag, he had already taken out some medicine and gauze from it and put them on the coffee table.
"Elsewhere, I can handle it, but on this ear, I can't help it, that's why I came to you!"
"Hmmm! Don't talk! It might hurt a little for a while! ”
Wu Zhiyuan took a deep breath and unwrapped the black cloth on his ears, and at this time, his eyes contracted sharply.
His ears were blurred, and there were some scraps of flesh at the wounds, bloody and shocking.
"How much is left?" Yu Duoduo asked suddenly.
"And a little!" Wu Zhiyuan said calmly.
He was already extremely uncomfortable in his heart, this was his friend, and he could empathize with this pain.
There was still a little bit left, almost flat, only some minced meat was hanging, and it was still dripping blood.
"You go on! Disinfect first and put the medicine bag on it! ”
"Bear with me!"
Wu Zhiyuan sprinkled disinfectant alcohol on his mutilated ear, and at this moment, he could feel Yu Duoduo's body trembling, and he just didn't say a word, and he survived alive.
Time passed slowly, Wu Zhiyuan bandaged meticulously, and it was not until the end that he took a long breath.
"I'm going to wash!"
As soon as the bandage was finished, Yu Duoduo stood up and walked into the bathroom.
"Attention, don't touch the water!"
As soon as Wu Zhiyuan's words fell, the bathrooms had been closed.
Wu Zhiyuan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then spit out the smoke ring, until the smoke ring hit the ceiling and dispersed with the wind, his fingers moved slightly, and then flicked it lightly, and the cigarette ash fell to the ground.
Thinking of Yu Duoduo's appearance just now, Wu Zhiyuan's eyes showed a complicated look.
Is he still him? He's not him anymore.
His heart was as silent as water, and it was only when he faced Wu Zhiyuan that the tip of the iceberg was occasionally revealed.
At that time, he was still him, the original him!
In Wu Zhiyuan's thoughts, the door of the bathroom opened, and Yu Duoduo walked out, he changed into a new set of clean clothes, and the blood stains on his body were already reasonably clean.
"Is there any smoke?"
He came to sit down next to Wu Zhiyuan with a smile on his face, and at this time, the two of them seemed to have returned to Beichuan.
Wu Zhiyuan took out the cigarette, lit it, and handed it to Yu Duoduo.
"Do you remember? You taught me how to smoke! Yu Duoduo said casually.
"Fart!" Wu Zhiyuan turned around and glared at him angrily, "It's you who ask me to smoke every day!" ”
"Damn! Am I dead-skinned and lazy? In Beichuan, if it weren't for me, who would treat you! What's wrong with a cigarette? Yu Duoduo was furious.
"Humph! Dead fatty, if I hadn't helped you, with your figure, clumsy, would you be able to survive? Reasonable, isn't it? ”
"You're a fart!" Yu Duoduo straightened his waist, "I'm a doctor, I do technical work, you only have brute strength, you protect me, shouldn't you?" If you are not convinced, you can go to Captain Liu, he arranged it! ”
"Then Captain Liu knows a fart! Too young and immature! ”
"Yo! Now it's said that people are young and immature! You don't necessarily know how old an adult is! Yu Duoduo sneered, "Don't forget, people are soldiers!" Who said it sourly, saying that there are two kinds of cleanest people in this world, soldiers and Chen Xi! ”
"You!" Wu Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment, arguing about this kind of topic, he had never won Yu Duoduo.
"That's it! Do not say! Is there alcohol? The two brothers haven't drunk together yet! Yu Duoduo said with great interest.
"Exactly! Bring a little from home, there are still a few pots left! Have a good drink today! ”
Wu Zhiyuan got up, came out of the kitchen, took two jugs of wine, and threw one pot to Yu Duoduo.
Regardless of the rest, Yu Duoduo directly opened the lid of the jug, lifted the flask, and poured it violently.
A sip of wine entered his throat, and his expression became ancient again.
"Is there any news from Chen Xi?" Yu Duoduo asked in a deep voice.
"Nope!"
Wu Zhiyuan also raised the wine jug, and then said, "What happened today!" ”
"Chen, Huan, Er!"
Yu Duoduo paused word by word, "I was originally going to kill Chen Dinghai, but I missed!" Two chances in a row! All missed! It's infuriating! ”
"So, that hotel manager, the woman at the door of the corpse room, was killed by you?"
Wu Zhiyuan then remembered that the woman who died at the door of the morgue was dressed exactly the same as the woman she killed in the alley today.
If so, then everything makes sense.
"That manager, I have been observing for a long time, I killed him in order to lure Chen Dinghai out, but I didn't expect that someone would be willing to block bullets for him!"
Yu Duoduo said hatefully: "Today in the Public Security Bureau, I have also arranged for a long time, I could have shot him dead, but I didn't expect this shit luck to let him escape again!" I didn't expect that Huan'er would shoot a black gun in secret! ”
"Be careful in the future!" Wu Zhiyuan glanced at him and said softly.
He didn't ask Yu Duoduo where the news came from, nor did he ask why he knew everything about Chen Dinghai's whereabouts, nor did he ask why Yu Duoduo didn't tell him.
He knew that Yu Duoduo had his own considerations.
"It would be nice to be able to go back in time!" Yu Duoduo said, shaking the wine jug, and the wine in it had been drunk by him.
"Gone!"
He stood up, and without waiting for Wu Zhiyuan to say anything, he had already wrung up his black duffel bag and walked towards the door.
With a click, he opened the door.
"Toto!" Wu Zhiyuan suddenly shouted, "Be careful, pay attention to safety!" ”
Yu Duoduo's body paused slightly, didn't say anything, and disappeared at the door......
