The white-haired old man pretended not to hear anything, even though the two hands of the bell were on his neck, his whole body did not make any exaggerated movements, his right foot never let go of the accelerator plate, his eyes looked at the curved dirt road in front of him, and his hands controlled the trembling taxi.

Gasoline continued to flow from under the car, dripping onto the dirt road, followed by a yellow dog, wagging its tail and barking wildly behind the car. But the cry was strange, as if it didn't come from the voice.

From time to time, the guy had to look back at the trunk of the car, and asked suspiciously: "Is there a dog in the back, why do I always feel the barking of a dog."

Bell, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, pinched the neck of the old man in white and replied with his back to him, "What kind of dogs?" And when the palm of her hand suddenly hit a burst of coldness, she quickly realized that something was wrong, immediately pushed his head away, sat back in his seat, and said calmly to the old man in white: "Oh, it turned out to be your own person, where are you going to drive the car?" ”

The old man in white shook the steering wheel in his hand at 90 degrees, turned his head, and replied calmly: "Go to a place to pick up my wife, she hasn't eaten for a long time, send her some white rice porridge." ”

The bell also became very casual at this time, put his foot on the car window, turned his head to look at the woods outside the window, and completely relaxed his vigilance.

The young man on the side could be said to be in a fog, taking a cigarette in his mouth, first looked at the old man in the driver's seat in fear, then twisted his neck to look at the nonchalant bell beside him, and asked in a low voice: "What are your own people?" Eldest sister, it turns out that you know each other. ”

"I don't know!" Bell leaned his head against the window, closed his eyes and took a nap.

The guy tensed his nerves and looked around at the taxi, and found that there was something wrong in every part of the car, just in front of the windshield, there were several black and white photos, and there was a tripod on the platform, and there was soil in the ding, and there were three red incense sticks on the soil, which had burned to half.

There was also a charm hanging from the steering wheel of the car, and the charm had a skull frame, strung together with a pink line.

The old man in white took out a razor from the car cabinet, held the steering wheel with the other hand, slowly shaved off the white beard on his chin, wrapped it in a white tissue after shaving his beard, kneaded it into a paper ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and didn't chew it, just took it in his mouth, and swallowed it directly into his stomach after a while.

The guy was almost dumbfounded, his legs were almost paralyzed, the cigarette in his mouth slipped from his chin unconsciously, and the fire of the cigarette butt fell to the shoe, burning the shoe out of a hole, but the guy had lost consciousness. He turned around and reached out to twist the handlebars, but found that he couldn't unscrew them, and then he kept trying to hit them with his body, breaking the glass on the door.

The old man in white looked back, and at the same time released the accelerator under his feet, and said in a low voice: "Young man, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, aren't I going to send you to the city?" ”

The crystal tears almost whitewashed the young man's face, numb and at a loss, he quietly took out a fruit knife from the pocket of his clothes and hid it behind him.

The old man in white just smiled casually, turned his head and looked at the bumpy mountain road through the windshield, turned his back to the shore and said: "Young man, put down the butcher knife and turn back to the shore, when you kill the first person, your mind has already been swallowed up by the bloody **, you can't help but commit the second and third times." ”

When the young man heard this, his whole arm twitched unconsciously, and the finger-length knife in his palm fell into the gap in the seat surface. Tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and he said with tears in his eyes: "I killed her, and she also killed me, and shed a lot of blood, but in the end, it turned out that I killed myself." ”

The young man's nerves seemed to be a little abnormal, and he took out the knife from the gap under the seat, put the tip of the knife against his neck, and with a sharp force, the fruit knife pierced his neck, and blood splattered from his wounds, staining the glass on all sides of the car window red.

At the same time, the blood splattered on the face of the bell, who was sleeping next to him.

As soon as the bell opened his eyes, he squinted and looked back at the young man next to him, and found that his body was as stiff as a stone, and he was sitting on the cushion of the chair with his hands hanging down, and his neck was stretched out and half of the blade was inserted, leaving the handle of the knife hanging on his chin.

Surprised, the bell straightened his back from his seat, pulled out the fruit knife from his neck, and looked at it in front of his eyes. He looked back at the white-haired old man sitting firmly in the driver's seat and exclaimed, "What's the matter?" Why did he commit suicide? ”

By this time, the whole car had already driven to a bridge. The white-haired old man stepped on the brakes with one foot, looked down at his legs, and said: "Even if he doesn't die now, even if he can still live, it won't be easy, he has now accepted the punishment he deserves, but don't worry, he will be able to meet us soon." ”

The bell looked at the young man's corpse again, wiped the blood on the knife with his sleeve, and sighed: "Hey, why are you dead, anyway, it's not that you won't see it in the future, and you can live longer if you become a ghost." ”

The white-haired old man let out a laugh and started the engine in the car, but stopped again after a while. On the road on one side of the car, there was an old woman standing with a cane in her hand, looking thin and thin, already skinny, with a hint of vicissitudes on her face.

The white-haired old man leaned his head out of the window, stretched out a palm full of stripes, beckoned to the old woman's face, moved half of his face out of the glass window, and called, "Lao He, come on, the porridge is cold." ”

The old woman slowly crossed the road with her cane, came to the taxi door, opened it with her hand, and got into the car.

The white-haired old man took out a thermos box from the car cabinet, handed it to the old woman and said, "Look at you eating steamed buns, choking on your throat, come, drink some porridge to fill your stomach." ”

The old woman turned on the insulation, took out the iron spoon inside, took out a spoonful and brought it to her mouth and took a sip, "Why is this porridge cold?" ”

"You old thing, I'm embarrassed to say, I've been waiting for you for three years, and you haven't shown up once, of course this porridge is cold."

"I mean, how do you smell ranny?"

The old woman put the iron spoon into the box, slanted her eyes and twisted her neck to look at the back of the driver's seat, and said slowly: "Girl, where are you going, look at your face so anxious." ”

The bell deliberately twisted his head to the side, and said angrily, "What's the matter with you?" You old woman. ”

The white-haired old man started the engine in the car again, but this time the sound was different, and it didn't sound like a car before, but more like a scream, a baby's scream, a sad cry.

"Hey, don't worry about other girls, I'll take her where she wants to go, look at the water under the bridge is so deep, you are so yelling, what if I accidentally drive the car into the water." The old man in white said this almost with a dark smile, as if he had such a move in his own heart.

The taxi slowly rolled its tires and drove faster and faster, and finally drove at high speed on the suspension bridge, speeding towards the faint intersection at the head of the bridge.

In the car, the old woman looked at the bell's face, and seemed to have a sense of affection, so she said: "Hey, girl, you are my daughter-in-law, have you seen my son?" ”

The bell was furious at this time, and he jumped up from his seat, took the fruit knife in his hand, and slammed it into the seat in front of him, and said in a threatening voice: "You old witch, you'd better shut up for me, or I'll kill you." ”

The old man in white suddenly laughed a few times and replied: "Girl, don't be angry, I know what you want to go to the most at the moment, you want to go to a house, but that house has been abandoned for many years, and you still want to find someone, who has been dead for several years." ”

Only then did the bell calmly return to his seat and said coldly: "Okay, you guessed everything, you can take me over." “

The old woman smiled and smiled, twisted her neck again, looked at the corpse next to the bell, shook her head again and again, and said, "Ouch, how can there be a young man here, he smells of oil, it won't be a seller of baked cakes, or a seller of fritters." “

The old man in white said while driving the car: "Of course it's a fried dough sticker, where does the baked cake have such a heavy oily smell, hey, it's so pitiful, you say, how can there be such a poor person in this world." ”

Bell seemed impatient, buried his head under the window and held on to the car door, ignoring them.

After the car drove for a while, it came to the downstairs of an Internet café, and after the old man in white stopped, he waved his finger and said, "Girl, when you get to the place, you can go upstairs and see the person you need to find." ”

The bell looked up from the window, looked at the glittering golden signboard, opened the door, stepped out of the car, and stretched.

The white-haired old man stuck his head out of the window and said, "Girl, give me some money, we have to go to other places to solicit customers." ”

The bell felt in his pocket, and found that he was penniless, and in embarrassment, he looked back at a stone next to the ditch, ran to pick it up, blew it, and the stone turned into gold, turned around and stuffed the gold into the old man's hand, and said, "This is for you." “

The white-haired old man took a closer look, sighed and threw the gold back to the ground, looked up and said to her, "Forget it, this trick can't fool us, we're going to go goodbye." “

The white-haired old man retracted his head into the car, started the engine and drove the car away, leaving a trail of dust on the ground.

Bell watched as the car slowly disappeared into the street, then looked back at the Internet café, hesitated for a moment, and walked into the door below.

As soon as she approached the Internet café, a girl at the cash register smiled at her and said, "Internet access?" Or buy stinky tofu. “

Bell walked to the cash register, looked at the snacks in plastic bags on the stand, and asked curiously, "What are these things?" “

"Our stinky tofu here is the most smelly, do you want to buy a pack and try it, ten yuan a pack." The female cashier took out a packet of stinky tofu from the bar, and shook it in front of her eyes when she got it to the bell.

The bell reached out and took the stinky tofu, opened it, took out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth to taste it, nodded and said, "Well, it's very fragrant, it's the first time I've eaten such fragrant stinky tofu." “

The female cashier's face quickly became unsightly, she stretched out her hand, opened her palm, and said angrily: "Hey, why did you open it directly, and you haven't given the money yet." “

Bell squinted and smiled, and said, "Hey, I owe it first, isn't it just the money for a pack of stinky tofu." “

"Hello? Who's looking for something, who's looking for something to do. “

The voices of several men came from behind the bell, and they looked back. Several shirtless young men walked towards her, and one of them walked at the front, looked the bell's clothes up and down, felt very surprised, and said with a smile and tears: "Haha, you are engaged in art, how can you dress this virtue." “

As soon as the bell heard this, he was furious, and went up and gave them a kick, and when they saw it, they all rushed forward one by one, trying to surround the bell, but before they could take two steps, they were all hit on the head by the bell with a stone in his hand, and put the young men on the ground.

The female cashier quickly became frightened, covered her face and screamed, turned around and ran in the direction of the toilet, with a very alarming speed.

The bell also chased after her, grabbed the cashier's arm, dragged her whole body back, kicked her knee, and said, "I ask you, have you ever seen a man, sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as you." “

The female cashier was so panicked that she didn't know what to do, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, he's only been here in the past few days." “

"What? Will he still come. “

"It's coming, it's coming, of course it's coming, you wait here, maybe he'll come."

The bell smiled with satisfaction, kicked the female cashier to the ceiling, and her whole body happened to be between the sides of the ceiling fan, unable to move, and foaming at the mouth.

The young people around were frightened when they saw this, stood up from the ground in a panic, turned around and ran out of the door of the Internet café.

The bell clapped her hands, looked back at the computer in front of her, and the few people sitting in front of the computer were all focused on her, and they didn't dare to say a word, and even one or two quietly tried to escape from the gate, and after being drunk by the bell, they all walked back with low eyebrows.

Bell took a closer look at the people and found that He Wei was not among them, so he had to walk to a seat, pat the dust on it, and sit in front of the computer, his feet still on the table.

At this moment, a man in a suit approached at the door of the Internet café, wearing a pair of shorts, strode in the direction of the bell as soon as he entered the door, turned the suit open and pulled out the pig-killing knife on his waist, and took advantage of the bell not to pay attention, flew up and put the knife on his neck, and said angrily: "You yellow-haired little girl, you dare to spread wild on the uncle's territory, are you tired of being tired, just say it directly." “

The bell also reacted quickly, almost many times faster than the man in the suit, grabbed the man's arm with his backhand, twisted it vigorously, pressed his head with the other hand, and did a backflip with both feet, and hit his wrist with the tip of his foot, knocking the pig-killing knife in his hand directly to the ground.

In an instant, the men in the Internet café were frightened, and they rushed out of the door one by one. One of the shoes had run away, and he didn't even bother himself, still rushing out of the gate.

But the bell didn't pay attention to them this time, and the target only looked at the man in the suit who fell to the ground, rushed up and kicked him hard in the knee.

The man in the suit covered his knees and screamed, turned his head and glared at the bell angrily, and warned in a vicious tone: "You...... You dare to hit me, do you know who I am? “

"I don't care who you are, you're my defeated man anyway." The bell went up and was ready to kick him in the face.

The man in the suit hurriedly covered his face with his hand, his face suddenly changed to extremely panicked, trembling and pleading: "Oh, hey, wait, wait, woman, I was joking with you just now." “

Ignoring his heartfelt plea, the bell pressed her foot on top of his head, only to hear "Ah! The earth cried again.

The man in the suit fell to the ground with a nosebleed, and the bell went up and kicked him in the chest a few times, then turned around and picked up the pig-killing knife on the ground, put the knife on the neck of the man in the suit, and scolded: "You dog, look how I clean you up today." ”

The man in the suit had a blue nose and swollen face, and he almost lost consciousness, and his eyes became panda eyes, and the swollen eyes seemed to be closed, and he cried and begged miserably: "Woman, spare my life, this territory will be yours from now on, and I will not rob you." ”

"Who scarces your territory, phew!" The bell pressed on his head again, took back the pig-killing knife and threw it on the ground, and said, "Return your knife, I am not rare of this thing, and it takes a lot of effort to chop wood." ”

When the bell got up, he walked in the direction of the gate.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, several young people who looked like dogs rushed in from outside the gate, one was more exaggerated than the other, and one of them was the most conspicuous, wearing a tattered pair of jeans, no, this should be called style. The lips were dark, as if they had applied a layer of lipstick. His hair was fried, he had an earring on his nose, and he had a silver kitchen knife stuck in his belt when he looked at his waist.

is in response to a saying: the sky thunder rolls and kills Matt, and the landslide cracks and cuts and blows.

The kitchen knife young man swaggered forward, shouting and dragging as if he were twenty-five or eighty-thousand, followed by a few horse boys, deliberately blocking in front of the bell, shaking his head and saying: "Ouch, hey, who is this, a little bold, actually dares to move our head snake, do you want to become a vole?" ”

The bell stared directly at the young man and glared at him for several seconds. The young man came up again and stretched out two hands to push her, and said, "What do you want?" ”

"Shoot!" There was a loud bang, a black shadow flashed in the air, smashed straight down to the corner of the wall, followed the wall, slipped down to a butt and sat in the trash can, looked up, the eyes rolled their eyes, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of the lips, and the kitchen knife on his waist fell to the ground.

Before the young men in the back could react, they slowly looked back at the back, and countless pairs of eyes glared at the same time, rushing towards a certain place in the corner.

"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong with you? You okay? A long-haired young man reached out and tried to lift him out of the trash can.

"Don't move, don't move, it's broken, the bones are broken."

Several young people looked back and looked at the body of the bell coming over, and they were all frightened, one by one, numb on two legs, and slipped out of the Internet café door with their buttocks crooked.

Bell tilted his head to look at the young man sitting in the trash can, took the golden bell from his wrist, walked up and put the golden bell in his mouth.

A smile appeared on the corner of the bell's mouth, and he turned around and was about to walk out of the Internet café, just stepping his legs, "Hey, wait a minute, big sister, please stay!"

After the bell stopped, he turned around and saw the man in the suit running over with a pig-killing knife in his disheveled hand. The bell suddenly became angry, hooked the kitchen knife that fell next to the trash can with one foot, and the kitchen knife rose from the ground, rolled in the air a few times, and after falling, the bell caught it firmly with his hand.

The man in the suit hurriedly threw out the pig-killing knife in his hand in a panic, stretched out his palms and waved his hand, and greeted with a smile: "Don't, you misunderstood, I want to ask the eldest sister where she came from and where she is going." “

"Wherever I come from, I will go back to what you do." Bell withdrew the kitchen knife, gave him an angry look, turned and walked out of the door.

The man in the suit hurriedly followed, ran to the bell, stopped him again, the leather shoes under his feet were torn, opened his arms and took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Hey, eldest sister, don't get me wrong, look at you in a hurry, do you want to find someone, just tell me, I'm willing to help you find it." “

"Really?" Bell tossed the kitchen knife and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, I'm most familiar with it here, who are you looking for, say a name, I'll let a few more people find it, it's better than the eldest sister you looking for alone." The man in the suit turned around and walked to the staircase and pointed to the door below, "Let's go, big sister, let's go down and eat some steak and have a drink, and whatever you want to eat in the future, just tell me, we lack everything else, and we don't lack money." “

The mood on Bell's face remained unchanged, and perhaps he didn't pay attention to the man in the suit at all, and walked down the stairs alone with his head tilted.

The man in the suit also followed, took out a worn-out phablet from his pocket, chased after the bell in one go, and said with a smile: "Hey, eldest sister, wait for me, let's eat something together, where are you going alone?" “

The bell looked back and said, "Why do you keep following me, you are not afraid that I will be unhappy and beat you up for a while." “

The man in the suit didn't seem to be angry, but smiled happily, bowed his head and walked to the bell very politely, and took the initiative to say: "I know a steak restaurant, the steak burned there is particularly fragrant, enjoy your face, go eat something together, I'll treat you." “

Bell looked at the man in the suit very seriously, then looked down at the pair of leather shoes at his feet, turned his head and squinted at the gold watch in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Can you really help me find someone?" Are you sure? “
