Chapter 12: The Boy and the Dog
When Jiang Zhan closed his eyes and waited to die, he suddenly heard a thud, followed by the sound of a knife stabbing into something.
He screamed, clutching his belly against the wall.
The walls in the dark alleys are not exposed to sunlight all year round, and even in summer, they are still cold and cool.
Jiang Zhan closed his eyes and touched the wall, and the slippery and greasy touch came, making his face pale.
It's over, his blood is spilling all over the wall, is he already dead?
Something was pulling at the hem of Jiang Zhan's clothes.
Jiang Zhan's head buzzed.
So soon, the bull head and horse noodles came to ask for their lives?
No, he can't die, his sister is still waiting for him to reply at home!
Jiang Zhan opened his eyes abruptly and confronted the "bull-headed horse face" that pulled the hem of his clothes.
Erected ears, a long face, a protruding nose, and thick gray-yellow hair......
Well, this appearance is 108,000 miles away from the "bull head", it should be a horse face!
Jiang Zhan looked at it for a long time and cautiously came to a conclusion.
"Brother Ma, I can't die yet, I have a disabled father and a delicate young sister, and they still have to rely on me to support them. Please, let me goβ"
"Ma Mian" bared his teeth: "Wang-"
Jiang Zhan seemed to be choked by the neck in an instant, unable to say a word, and stared at the "horse face" who shouted "Wang" to him with wide eyes.
Something seems to be wrong.
"Erniu, come back!" A faint voice came.
Jiang Zhan was startled, turned his head suddenly, and saw a young man standing a foot away.
The young man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, two inches taller than him, his eyebrows were straight, his black eyes were clear, and his ice-sculpture face was almost expressionless, like a famous knife hidden in its scabbard, which people did not dare to underestimate.
"Who are you?" Jiang Zhan was shocked.
"People." The boy replied.
"Then it's-" Jiang Zhan lowered his head with difficulty, pointing to the "horse face" who limped to the young man's side with a complicated expression.
The young man glanced at Jiang Zhan deeply and spit out one word: "Dog." β
At that moment, Jiang Zhan actually saw a little smile from the young man's deep eyes.
"Ahem, ahem." Jiang Zhan could only cough to hide his embarrassment.
The young man rubbed the top of the big dog's head and reminded, "If you don't leave, this person will wake up." β
Jiang Zhan lowered his head, only to realize that the person who had attacked him earlier had fallen at his feet.
"He's dead?"
"No, I just fainted."
Jiang Zhan looked at his hand, his fingertips were stained with dark green, and muttered, "What is this?" β
"Moss." The young man's faint voice came, and he thoughtfully stretched out his finger and pointed, "On the wall." β
Jiang Zhan looked at it, and then he knew where the slippery and greasy feeling came from.
It turned out not his blood, but moss!
This realization made Jiang Zhan blush instantly, and said, "Then let's run quickly." β
"Well, let's run." The boy nodded earnestly.
A strange thought rose from Jiang Zhan's heart.
For some reason, this young man gave him the feeling that he was not allowed to enter, but he was extremely friendly to him.
Is there still this advantage for people to be handsome?
No, this boy is obviously a little better than him.
Maybe this is sympathy.
The two of them and a dog ran out of the dark and narrow alley, and ran into the bustling and lively streets in one go.
Under the sun, Jiang Zhan had a feeling of the rest of his life, let out a long breath of turbidity, and smiled at the young man: "Thank you Brother Tai for saving your life, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" β
The young man paused for a moment and said, "You can call me Yu Qi." β
After speaking, he didn't forget to introduce the big dog next to him: "It's called Erniu." β
Seeing that the boy was one or two years older than himself, Jiang Zhan shouted "Brother Yu Qi", and then waved his hand to the big dog: "Er Niu, hello." β
The big dog glanced at Jiang Zhan with disdain and turned his head away.
was actually despised by a dog, isn't it just mistaken for a "horse face", the little beast still remembers!
Jiang Zhan snorted and asked Yu Qi: "I don't know where Brother Yu Qi's family lives, the younger brother will definitely come to the door to thank you another day." β
If Brother Yu Qi wants to do good deeds without leaving his name, and resolutely refuses to reveal his residence, then he will be stalked to death.
He, Jiang Zhan, is not a person who does not repay his kindness.
"My family lives in Bird Hutong, and there is a crooked-necked jujube tree at the door."
Jiang Zhan began to feel congested again.
Why didn't his savior do what he said?
"What a coincidence, Bird Alley is not far from my house. The younger brother's surname is Jiang Mingzhan, and he lives in Yuqian Hutong, not far from Quezi Hutong, and ranks second among the grandchildren of Dongpingbo Mansion. β
"Jiang Zhan." Yu Qi repeated with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's Jiang Zhan." Jiang Zhan listened to the young man spit out his name in a mellow and clear voice, and his scalp was numb.
Damn, where did this man come from? The voice is also very good, he is a man, and his heart beats when he listens.
"Wangβ"
Jiang Zhan looked at the big dog with a dark face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
A little beast that spoils the scenery.
The big dog turned his head in disdain.
"Brother Yu Qi, I still have something to go back quickly, and I will go to you as soon as I am done."
"Okay." Yu Qi's head was concise and to the point.
"When is Brother Yu Qi usually at home?"
The corners of Yu Qi's lips curved slightly: "Waiting for you at any time." β
No, no, if we continue to talk, he will doubt life. Jiang Zhan thanked him again and hurried back to Dongpingbo's Mansion.
The begonias are in the middle of the flowers and trees, and the cicadas that don't know where to hide are non-stop.
Jiang seemed to be holding a book and leaning against the begonia tree to look through it, but he was absent-minded.
Why hasn't the second brother come back yet? Could it be that something has happened?
"Girl, the second son is here." Ah Qiao opened the courtyard door and led Jiang Zhan over.
"Fourth sisterβ"
Jiang seemed to shake his head and stopped Jiang Zhan's words later: "Let's talk about it when we enter the house." β
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Zhan sat down and said unceremoniously to Ah Qiao: "Quickly bring me a cup of tea to suppress the shock." β
Ah Qiao glanced at Jiang Ru.
Jiang seemed to bow his head slightly, Ah Qiao just went, and quickly took the tea.
Jiang seemed to signal Ah Qiao to wait outside, and patiently waited for Jiang Zhan to drink half a cup of tea in one go, before asking, "What happened to the second brother?" β
Jiang Zhan put the teacup on the table, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth casually, and sighed: "Fourth sister, I really let you say it, sure enough, someone went to the dark alley to get the bamboo." β
Jiang Ru frowned: "Second brother didn't leave immediately after putting his things away?" β
Sure enough, it's an unreliable brother.
Jiang Zhan sneered: "I'm not curious if anyone is coming." β
"And then?"
"Someone came and took the bamboo away. But before I could leave, someone else came! β
"Someone again? Did he see the second brother? β
"How can it!" Jiang Zhan denied it without thinking, met Jiang Zhan's inquiring gaze, and confessed honestly, "I saw it." Not only did he see it, but the man wanted to kill me. β
"How did the second brother escape?" Jiang seemed to be terrified when he heard it.
Jiang Zhan drank the rest of the tea and suppressed the urge to brag: "It's too late, it's too fast, it's someone again!" β
Jiang Like: "......"
My brother is so out of tune, and she is also very distressed.
