Chapter VIII
When Cheng Jiyun drove back to Longzhen, he suddenly found that there was some glimmer of light in the windows of many houses.
There are far more people living here than he could have imagined.
Cheng Jiyun drove the car slowly, looked at the houses outside the car window, and counted silently: "Why don't these people leave here and go to the immunization zone you mentioned?" ”
"Some people like to go to new places, some people like to stay where they are, and some people like to wander, it doesn't matter where they are, does it?"
Cheng Jiyun sighed, seeing that this little girl seemed to be squinting and sleeping, but sometimes it suddenly makes sense? Intermittent psychosis?
"I just don't understand it." This time it was his turn to have a question, "If the immune zone has everything, wouldn't it be better than eating here and waiting for death?" Was a new city built there or what kind of living quarters? Did everyone go there? ”
"Not everybody can find that place." Sunny added.
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone knows that the immunization zone is in the south, but no one knows if it can reach it." Sunny's eyes were still closed, as if he was talking to him in his sleep.
Cheng Jiyun wondered at this time: "Then can we find it?" ”
"It's up to your luck." Sunny rolled over, as if trying to find a proper position to help him fall asleep.
Cheng Jiyun shut up, the world is far bigger than he imagined, and he is just a clown who has been in prison for ten years, plus three years of sleep and came to the end of the world inexplicably, and he hasn't figured out what the situation is.
The car weaved through the trees, as if it had loomed to the end of the road, which was a lake.
There is a black figure sitting by the lake, wearing a peaked cap, isn't it Lin Yan?
"Hey!" Cheng Jiyun shouted to him through the glassless car window, "Don't look at the night scene, let's go on the road!" ”
Lin Yan turned sideways and found that Cheng Jiyun had really gotten a car and was still waving at him. He picked up his backpack, walked over to the car, opened the door, and sat down.
"You say, are you pretending to see the scenery, but you're actually waiting for me here?" Cheng Jiyun glanced at him several times, with his fluttering smile.
"Huh." Lin Yan's hat brim was still very low, and he couldn't see his eyes, but he could see the corners of his mouth, slightly raised, so he should take it as a default.
Lin Yan put the backpack on his lap and fastened his seat belt.
Cheng Jiyun looked at his steps, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no police, how can you come at ease!" ”
Lin Yan ignored it, and glanced back at Sunny in the back seat by the way, he should have noticed her quietness, so he took a look.
"She's asleep." After Cheng Jiyun said a word, he continued to start the car, "How to go next, listen to you, do you also want to go to the immunity zone?" ”
Lin Yan was silent for a while, and then took off the cap on his head, revealing a slightly messy hair.
"I'm free."
"Random?" Cheng Jiyun laughed, "How long have you been wandering outside?" ”
Lin Yan didn't answer, but it didn't seem to be short.
"You're from Helong Town, right?" Cheng Jiyun continued.
"Hmm." He replied softly.
"Do you want to go or don't want to go?" Cheng Jiyun moved out of what Sunny had just said, "Do you want to go to a completely new place, or do you want to stay where you are?" Or do you want to be a wanderer, wherever you go? ”
Lin Yan stroked the long hair on his forehead and put his hat back on: "It doesn't matter." ”
"Haha! You're so hard to serve! After speaking, Cheng Jiyun patted the steering wheel, "But I like it!" ”
"Like what?"
"I just like weirdos, the weirder the better!" Cheng Jiyun said, "And the more people who don't want to see me, the more I like to post upside down." ”
Lin Yan didn't answer, and twisted his head out of the window. But it was pitch black outside the window, and there was nothing to see at all.
"Forget it, when I didn't say it." Cheng Jiyun himself felt that his words to introduce himself were a little awkward, why mention these things, who cares what kind of person you are at this time, what about good people and bad people, don't you all want to survive?
The car finally drove onto the wide road, and the headlights could no longer shine on the road ahead, and it was destined to be a long time.
……
College towns are always sunny and spring-like.
When Cheng Jiyun is in his spare time, he always likes to play a happy ball game with a group of people on the playground, of course, there are no beauties.
Maybe he's the kind of young man who is full of enthusiasm, and he always wants to play bad or something in his bones. In the new school, the new environment, the teacher taught you to strictly regulate your behavior and be a person who abides by the rules.
Fart! Fuck the rules!
Ji Yun didn't go to the elective course that afternoon, but played ball with a few senior people, and after finishing it, he lay on the ground and watched the blue sky and white clouds quietly float by.
"I heard that you have a crush on Shi Wei?"
"What's the matter with you?"
The two boys talked about Shi Wei on the side, and took Cheng Jiyun to brush.
"Don't you know she's a weirdo?"
Cheng Jiyun didn't reply, and the other continued: "Only the teacher likes her, she is smart and capable, but people who are familiar with her know that she is a weirdo." ”
"I don't think so." When Cheng Jiyun first entered the university town, he heard that Shi Wei was a popular figure in the school, and gossip was normal, and he didn't care about it.
"So you're with her?" The man leaned into Cheng Jiyun's ear and asked.
"Nope!" Cheng Jiyun immediately dodged, picked up the basketball and slapped several three-step layups, interrupting their attention, "Still can't play?" ”
After playing, Cheng Jiyun went back to the bathroom to take a shower, and it was almost dark when he came out.
"Cheng Jiyun, are you skipping class again?" A classmate was just about to go into the bathroom when he met him.
"Cut." Cheng Jiyun didn't reply, just walked back by himself.
Now there's nothing to eat in the cafeteria, so let's just go back to the dormitory to make noodles. As soon as I thought about it, I met Shi Wei on the way back to the dormitory.
Cheng Jiyun hurriedly hid behind a tree and watched her come out of the dormitory building with a book and notebook in her hands.
Shi Wei didn't notice him, but walked away.
Cheng Jiyun watched her back fade away, and suddenly felt that she was a fool, why are you hiding? Afraid of her or afraid of yourself?
Forget it, he'd better go back to the dormitory obediently.
But when did your sense of smell become so sensitive? You can smell the faint scent of shampoo in the path she has walked, which is a unique smell to Shi Wei.
Unconsciously, I recalled the comments of others in my ears, Shi Wei was a weird person......
Kook?
Cheng Jiyun didn't know it, of course, she had secretly understood her, but she rarely interacted with her classmates. Every time she finishes class, she goes to the school library to read a book, or goes to the online classroom to use the computer to surf the Internet, and rarely has fun with other classmates anyway.
Is that weird? Cheng Jiyun felt a little ridiculous, did it have to fall in love in college and make a group of pig friends and dog friends to be normal?
Anyway, in his eyes, Shi Wei has a mysterious attraction. Although their first encounter was bloody......
……
Cheng Jiyun parked the car on the road, the night should have been very deep, and he didn't know how long he had been driving, anyway, he couldn't drive, and he wanted to rest.
"Tired?" Lin Yan asked softly, and Cheng Jiyun realized that he hadn't fallen asleep.
"Hmm." Cheng Jiyun leaned back in his chair and turned off his headlights, and it was dark all around.
In this world where he couldn't see his fingers, the wind in his ears was quiet, he closed his eyes and asked, "What are you hiding in the bushes today?" ”
Lin Yan replied slowly: "No, I'm going to pee." ”
"Huh." Cheng Jiyun sneered, "Don't lie to me." ”
"What are you lying about?"
"Do you know what we encountered?"
"Yes." Lin Yan's head tilted out of the window, "I've met someone." ”
"Then why didn't you come to save me?" Cheng Jiyun started again.
"Didn't you come out safely?" Lin Yan's tone was still indifferent, "If you can come out by yourself, what else can I help you." ”
"Ah, you are really ......" Cheng Jiyun straightened up, just wanted to say something, and lay down again, "Forget it, everyone is fine." ”
Lin Yan was silent for a while, Cheng Jiyun thought he was going to fall asleep, but he didn't expect him to speak again: "That house is not old, the doors and windows are intact, someone will definitely go, there are many left-behind people in Helong Town, so don't take risks in the future." ”
"Huh." Cheng Jiyun laughed softly, "Okay, you taught me earlier!" What to pretend to be cold. ”
Lin Yan was silent again, I don't know if I was reluctant to answer, or if I really planned to sleep, wait, wait, wait, Cheng Jiyun couldn't support his tired eyes, and I don't know when, he also fell asleep quietly.
……
"Impulsiveness, we all know, it's just that it's not worth it."
In the dark room, a table lamp shone on the wood-colored tabletop, Cheng Jiyun lowered his head and looked at the person opposite's hand naturally placed on the table, his hand lines were clearly visible, and his nails were meticulous.
"Is it worth losing your life for one person, especially when you're only twenty-one?"
The man on the other side repeatedly asked him if it was worth it.
Cheng Jiyun didn't want to answer this question at all, anyway, everything was done, everyone died, what else to talk about? Even regret can't change anything, so what is there to talk about whether it's worth talking about? Isn't it all a waste of time?
"Whoever causes death by negligence shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and if the circumstances are more minor, he may be released in three years." He looked at the table, "Whoever intentionally kills a person shall be sentenced to death, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, and of course, if the circumstances are more minor, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than 10 years." ”
This choice was placed in front of Cheng Jiyun, as if there was room for negotiation.
"What are you telling me about this?" Cheng Jiyun raised his head, wanting to see clearly in the darkness what kind of identity and character the person opposite was.
"We just want to know what's really going on." The policeman leaned back in the chair behind him, "Can you describe it again, be specific?" ”
Cheng Jiyun sighed, what did the police's roundabout operation want to do? It is estimated that it will be almost four or five hours after repeated questioning, and Cheng Jiyun only feels that he has been hungry and thirsty for a long time, his brain is no longer flexible, and his temper has slowly calmed down from the initial irritability.
“…… I said, I was going to find my girlfriend ......"
"Shi Wei?"
"Hmm." Cheng Jiyun nodded, "Her classmate said that a man asked her to go to the rooftop, so I thought it was no good ......"
"Why do you think so?"
Cheng Jiyun raised his eyebrows: "What do you think if a man asks your girlfriend to meet on the rooftop alone?" ”
The man made a gesture to continue, so Cheng Jiyun continued.
"By the time I got to the rooftop, he was already doing something to my girlfriend."
"What's going on?"
"Tsk, it's you who push me, I'll push you." Cheng Jiyun looked impatient, why are there so many questions?
"Is there a quarrel?"
"Yes! That man is awkward! I can see that I am furious! ”
"And what are they arguing about?"
"What's the noise? I'll just ......" Cheng Jiyun suddenly hesitated, and then replied pretending to be confused, "How do I know what they are arguing about?" Anyway, when I saw him like that, I was so angry, how could I pay attention to what they were arguing about......"
"Didn't you really hear me?"
"Not really!" Cheng Jiyun's body leaned forward, wanting to get closer to the person and test if he could see his face clearly, but he didn't expect him to lean back decisively, letting the light recede to his chest.
"Officer!" Cheng Jiyun said with an innocent face, "Does it matter what they say?" Anyway, I saw him bullying my girlfriend at the time, so I naturally didn't get angry, so I pushed him forward, and then we quarreled, I'm not a vegetarian, don't look at me so thin, I have a lot of strength, and I pushed him downstairs in three or two strokes...... Then, you'll find out. ”
The policeman on the other side was silent for a while, as if wondering whether his words were true.
"At that time, didn't Shi Wei participate?"
"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun's expression was surprised, "What does it have to do with her?" I push people. ”
"Really?" The police expressed suspicion, "There is no possibility that when you went upstairs, Shi Wei had already had a fierce conflict with him and pushed him downstairs?" ”
Cheng Jiyun only felt that his face twitched unconsciously, his brain began to swell, and then he forced a smile, yes, he actually laughed: "No!" How is this possible! No, no! It's me, it's me. ”
At this time, the policeman's hands returned to the table, and his body finally came to the front of the light, and under the light of the table lamp, his whole face was revealed, the face of a middle-aged man with wrinkles, but his eyes were sharp, like a blade piercing Cheng Jiyun, and he felt that as long as he moved, he would be uncomfortable.
"If she lost control of her emotions due to the quarrel and pushed the deceased down by mistake, then she could be sentenced to three or five years for manslaughter. But if you join this quarrel and push down the deceased for Shi Wei, then there may be intentional homicide, not the death penalty, and it can only help you reduce it to at least ten years......"
It turns out that this multiple-choice question is not just his......
"Three years for hers, or ten years for yours?"
