On September nights, the weather is already cool.

Kunchuan, a southern border city, is showing a scene of slaughter, the wind is blowing tightly, and the fallen dead leaves can be seen everywhere, stepping on, there is a slight crushing sound, and the calm of the autumn night is almost completely shattered by the sound of these actions.

The street lamps dotted with fish and dragons in the Phoenix community also seem to be much darker than before, and they weakly cast a dim yellow circle of light under their feet.

A vendor selling egg scones leaned against a lamppost, guarding a dying stove, his toes rubbing boredom on the ground, except for a few pairs of old people walking by.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the day, the Phoenix community at this moment seems extremely quiet.

Squeak Crunch –

Two pairs of footprints stepped on the pile of dead leaves, and walked towards a police office in the durian garden of the Phoenix community, and the middle-aged man in the army green windbreaker in front of him purred his Adam's apple and let out an extremely harsh retching, and then spit a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the milky white zebra crossing on the side of the road, and the black leather shoes bypassed and continued to walk forward.

Wang Hao was not surprised, the adults in his village usually coughed up phlegm like this, and now his face was full of the freshness and joy of coming to the big city, and it was the first time he had entered the city when he was so big.

In his poor ravine, people planted one acre of land and the government subsidized ten yuan, and ten acres of land was 100 yuan, and if the harvest was good all year round, the family could earn several thousand yuan, but if there was a drought and flood in the middle, the family would be hungry in winter.

He grew up in a poor ravine, and went home to farm after a few days of school, and his partner of the same age couldn't bear it, so he went out to do a big deal and didn't take a long time to come back, and when the police sent it back, the body was already stinking, and it was said that they went to Myanmar to sell drugs, and the drugs leaked into the body when they were hiding drugs and crossing the border, and they died on the spot.

Wang Hao doesn't know what drugs are, but he knows that dead people are definitely not a good thing, so he simply farms honestly at home, the girl from the second aunt's house next door has just passed her fifteenth birthday, and not long ago she took his hand and asked what the big city looks like, Wang Hao shook his head and said that he didn't know either, and he also wanted to see and see.

Later, Wang Hao heard that the girl of the second aunt's family was married, and she was the boss from the big city, and the glorious gift money was 50,000 yuan, which was more than the sum of all the money of all the people in their poor ravine, and the second aunt smiled from ear to ear, and the fifteen-year-old girl didn't know what was going on, so she was dragged into the car by the groom, who was full of oil and belly, and pulled away, and since then, Wang Hao has never heard any news about the girl.

A few days ago, Wang Hao's father came home from the mountain and met a person who looked like a boss, he came to the poor ravine and fell in love with Wang Hao at a glance, saying that this young man looked smart, and wanted to take him to the big city to develop, and he would be his master, and he would not be treated badly.

After speaking, the man who looked like the boss also took out an envelope, which was bulging, Wang Hao saw his father open the envelope with joy in his eyes, and inside was a pile of banknotes, probably 50,000 yuan, Wang Hao and his family would not necessarily have this money after ten years of hard work.

So Wang Hao followed the master to the big city, from the poor mountain village to Kunchuan by train for ten hours, in Wang Hao's imagination, the big city is full of lights, busy traffic, crowds of people, high-rise buildings, people have endless money, there is endless rice, men wear suits and ties, women rub rouge and lipstick, everyone gets together to sing every night.

However, Wang Hao saw that in a big city like Kunchuan, there were actually workers with rag shoes and yellow hats carrying sandbags, there were ragged people begging on the streets, and vendors and diners arguing over a fraction of five cents.

Wang Hao followed the master into a car, the car was painted with green, Wang Hao had only been on the tractor in the village, he had never seen a taxi, the first time he took the car felt very fresh, he felt that he was right to follow the master to Kunchuan, the master has his own car, so as long as he follows him conscientiously, one day he can also have a car of his own......

The master led Wang Hao to the door of the police room in the durian garden, knocked on the door a few times, and soon the door was opened, Wang Hao saw a woman poking her head out of it, her skin was pale, and when she saw the master, she pounced very enthusiastically and hugged the master, and the two kissed passionately at the door, completely ignoring Wang Hao, who was still a child.

Wang Hao looked at other people's mouths for the first time, the sound of chirping, his cheeks were a little hot, he lowered his head to stare at the ground, and on his feet were a pair of brand-new cloth shoes, which his mother bought for ten yuan, saying that his son was going to a big city, and he had to wear a decent look. There are several patches on the white-washed jeans, and the patches are made into a butterfly shape, which looks like a girl's clothes.

I don't know how long he stared at the ground, Wang Hao felt that the diamond-shaped jujube red floor tile was about to be shattered, and finally heard the woman groan from the master's arms, and the master greeted Wang Hao while holding her water snake waist and walking to the police room: "Mouse, come, come into the house and sit, and treat this place as your home in the future, if you are thirsty, there is water in the water dispenser." ”

Wang Hao followed him into the police room with a restrained movement, and closed the door casually, only to see the woman pulling the master into the inner room, and the door of the inner room slammed shut, and the two didn't know what to do inside.

Wang Hao looked at the police room, there were two large windows with curtains drawn, blazing ceiling lamps hanging from the ceiling, two sofas, a coffee table and a few chairs, as well as a TV and a telephone!

He has only seen the public telephone in the village, the phone does not know that it has been used for more than ten years, the numbers on the button are about to lose the paint, the master's phone has been wiped leisurely and shiny, and the incandescent light of dozens of watts can actually be reflected, Wang Hao touched it lovingly, thinking when he could have his own phone.

Wang Hao sat on the sofa and waited boredly, in addition to the back room where the master entered, there was also a small room in this police room, which was littered with some miscellaneous items.

The inner room didn't know what was going on, Wang Hao pricked up his ears and listened, banging like a fight, he thought to himself that the master and the master had quarreled, and was hesitating whether he wanted to go over to persuade him to fight, when he heard a woman's gasp coming out, the sound was very beautiful, like a lark singing, Wang Hao didn't know how, after listening to it, his ears were hot, and the inner room didn't move anymore.

After another five minutes, the master came out of the back room, his forehead was full of sweat, and he took a set of clothes out and threw it to Wang Hao: "Mouse, this will be your uniform in the future, you will wear it when you go to work during the day, I will take care of food and housing here, you will work hard with Master in the future, and you will be able to get ahead sooner or later!" ”

Wang Hao took the clothes, the jacket had two epaulettes, a belt tied to the trousers, and a large-brimmed hat, with a five-pointed star badge embedded on the large-brimmed hat, and the word security on the shoulder.

Wang Hao didn't know what the security guard did, so he heard the master explain to him: "Our security guard is responsible for protecting the safety of everyone in this community, just like the policeman, you see that even this dress is almost the same." As long as it is in the Phoenix community, whether it is a flower or a grass, or a tree and a floor, we can take care of all people and everything, and they are all under our protection, understand? ”

Wang Hao listened to it, and listened to what the master said, the job of security guards is still very good, and everything in the community can be managed, isn't that the police? Since he was a child, Wang Hao imagined himself wearing a police uniform and carrying a pistol to patrol the street, and now this scene, like a dream, Wang Hao excitedly stood up and saluted the master, saying that he served the people.

The master smiled, patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and said that the silly boy did a good job, he would be promising, and then went back to the back room, and it didn't take long for there to be a snapping sound inside, as if he was slapping him, Wang Hao was on the rise when he got the new clothes, and he forgot about the persuasion.

He took off the old jeans and gown on his body, and put on this security uniform, probably because the master gave Wang Hao a set that he didn't wear, Wang Hao was a little loose to wear, but after all, the child had not grown up yet, Wang Hao thought that he would be dressed appropriately in two years.

Wang Hao, who was wearing a security uniform, found a mirror more than half a person high next to the door, and took a picture of it, although the little security guard inside was still lined with clothes although he was childish, he was still lined with clothes, Wang Hao scratched his scalp and smoothed his hair, which made him look handsome.

When he was looking in the mirror, the phone next to the TV rang, covering the quarrel in the back room, and when Wang Hao was hesitating to answer it, the master's breathless voice came from the back room: "Mouse, you go and pick up the phone." ”

So Wang Hao went over and picked up the phone, as soon as the microphone was put to his ear, the other end of the phone scolded with a slashing face: "Lao Li, what the hell are you doing to answer the phone for a long time, wait for someone to come up to check the security situation of our security team, you hurry up and get dressed and go out on duty, this inspection is over, how can the security team outside have to stop for half a month." ”

Wang Hao stumbled and replied: "I...... My master is in the back room...... I'm Wang Hao......"

The other end of the phone was stunned, and then hehe laughed, and his laughter was a little obscene: "Oh, you are Lao Li who went to the countryside to buy ...... Phew, the new apprentice, okay, I know, you convey what I just told you to your master, and tell him that if he dares to be lazy again, Lao Tzu will pick his skin! ”

When Wang Hao heard that this person was quite fierce, he only hummed, then hung up the phone and conveyed the words he had just heard word for word to the master who was arguing and shouting in the back room.

There was a banging in the inner room, as if the bed board was shaking, and finally I heard the master respond: "Mouse...... I can't get out of here, so you can patrol for me...... We are in charge of the durian orchard, if you don't know where to patrol, you just look at the signs on the road...... When you see that it's not a durian orchard, you patrol back, remember, turn around a few more times......"

Wang Hao agreed, and adjusted his security uniform, looking particularly energetic, when he was about to go out, the master instructed Wang Hao to take the rubber baton and flashlight hanging behind the door, and when he encountered a bad person, he directly beat him with a rubber baton.

Wang Hao felt that he was very majestic, wearing a security uniform, wearing a big-brimmed hat, a heavy rubber baton hanging on his waist, and a flashlight dangling on the path.

The Durian Garden is a relatively high-end residential area in the Phoenix community, with wide and straight streets, as if it had been neatly divided by someone with a knife and axe. If you look down from the sky, this area is full of villas, covered with hundreds of meters, neatly planned, scattered on various paths, spliced by leveling squares.

Wang Hao is very proud to patrol his own territory, flashlights will shine on the faces of passing pedestrians from time to time, and Wang Hao is like a drug detection dog, his eyes carefully examine everyone, to see if they are bad people, such a conscientious patrol naturally attracted unanimous praise from the residents of the durian garden: stupid beep.

After patrolling back and forth for four or five circles, Wang Hao basically figured out the topography of the durian orchard, and also learned through chatting with the security guard at the gate of the durian orchard that the Huangcheng community is divided into four parts: durian garden, cherry orchard, plum garden, and bamboo garden.

In Chengnan County, Kunchuan City, the Phoenix community is one of the best communities, I don't know how many security teams want to compete for the qualification of the Phoenix community security team, so I don't know how many bloody struggles have occurred openly and secretly, the young adults in the surrounding villages and towns are unwilling to go to the construction site and organize into a security team, seven or eight people on a small scale, and a dozen or twenty people on a large scale.

Until the first two years, the three security teams led by Liu Liang, Chen Jin, and Cai Tianming joined together to win the first place in the security team of the Phoenix community.

Master Wang Hao is in the team of Cai Tianming, the security team of the Phoenix Community, and belongs to the fixed post in the security guard of the durian garden, and several security guards are mobile posts, and they usually live in an idle house arranged by the property of the community.

The wind at night was very cold, Wang Hao felt a little cold, so he wrapped his security uniform tightly, the road was gloomy, and when he passed by a villa, there were bursts of piano sound from inside.

Wang Hao went to the town to see someone playing the electronic piano, but not as good as now, the sound of the piano is like flowing water from the villa, as if melting a thousand years of glacier, the sound of the piano is cheerful, bright, passionate, people can't help but have a feeling of dancing with it, Wang Hao listened to the sound of the piano, felt that there was a warm current in the bottom of his heart, the evening wind was not so cold, and later he knew that the piano piece was called Canon.

At the door of Villa No. 72, Wang Hao loosened the collar of his tightly wrapped clothes, squatted down on the road next to the villa with a flashlight in his right hand, and listened quietly with his cheeks squinted, his expression was quite enjoyable, and there was a feeling that he had not been seen for a long time and seemed to be very familiar, like ...... The feeling of home, Wang Hao looked at the only room on the second floor of the villa, the bright light pierced the window, and the happy notes jumped in front of him, warm and intimate.

He thought that in the future, he would also learn the piano and play it to the people he liked, how chic it would be.

I don't know how long it took, the piano stopped, the lights in the room went out with a snap, Wang Hao rubbed his numb knees and stood up, raised his wrist and looked at the electronic watch that the master gave him, it was already ten o'clock, and he hurriedly trotted around before returning to the police room.

When he came back, the master poured water from the water dispenser, and when he saw Wang Hao coming back, he also poured him a cup, but he didn't see the master.

The master pointed to Wang Hao to the small room full of miscellaneous items on the other side and said, "Mouse, there is no other place for the time being, you can live there first, I will clean it up for you." ”

Wang Hao held the water cup and poured it wildly, hummed, saw that the master was watching a TV series, and wanted to sit down and watch it, but he was a little embarrassed, so he went out to find the faucet, washed his face, and went back to sleep.

The first time he came to the big city, Wang Hao slept very peacefully, and had many dreams at night, dreaming that he was a big boss, dreaming that the girl of the second aunt's family was holding the child, dreaming of the long moaning of the master from the throat, dreaming of ......

Wang Hao was slapped by the master, the slap was extremely loud, Wang Hao touched the hot cheeks and sat up, and saw the master glaring at him with an angry face, behind him, there were several people in uniform, the big brimmed hat was golden with a blue-edged police badge, and the five-pointed star and Tiananmen Square were wrapped in ears of wheat, which was particularly solemn.

"You are Wang Hao?" One of the policemen asked with extreme seriousness.

Wang Hao nodded blankly.

"You were patrolling the neighborhood at ten o'clock last night?"

Wang Hao nodded again, a little unclear.

"Handcuff him and bring him back to the bureau."

Wang Hao didn't have time to put on his clothes, and was escorted into a roaring police car, outside the window, the yellow cordon, the gathered residents, and the forensic doctor in the white coat......
