16. Make it bad
Facing the man who was staring at him, Lin Jixin helplessly pointed to the plastic lighter next to the cash register: "Give me a lighter." ”
With this man's attitude, he didn't want to do the other party's business at all and take care of Mei Yueru's face, so he picked the cheapest thing.
"Lighters?" The man snorted, "You smoke?" I don't learn well at a young age......"
Lin Jixin interrupted him unhappily: "To sell or not to sell?" ”
Glancing at Mei Yueru, who was in a dilemma, the man's eyes rolled sharply, and his expression eased: "Show me the cigarettes, and I will sell them if there are cigarettes." ”
This is to bully Lin Jixin's young and ignorant.
He found the wrong person, Lin Jixin's real age was several times older than him, and he could see through his thoughts at a glance. Didn't he just want to sit down on Lin Jixin's smoking, so that he could arrange him in front of Mei Yueru afterwards.
The man actually squeezed out a smile: "This is a special item, according to the regulations of our store, there must be supporting things to sell." For example, to buy cat food at a special price, you must bring your cat with you. ”
It's obviously full of nonsense, but at first glance it still sounds like that, and if you really don't know anything, you'll definitely be fooled.
Lin Jixin's mind turned sharply: "That's it, you wait." ”
Under the puzzled gaze of Mei Yueru and the others, he turned around and ran out of the store, and came back after a while, handing a coat bag to the man: "You touch." ”
Cigarettes in a garment bag? The man couldn't help but laugh, is this considered a stealing of the bell? He decided to take out the cigarette and show it to Mei Yueru in front of this fool in a moment.
Reaching into the pocket, unexpectedly, the tips of the palms and fingers were moist and hot to the touch.
When he withdrew his hand like an electric shock, his fingers were covered with yellow-brown goo.
Lin Jixin's evil voice sounded faintly in his ears: "I want a roll of special hand paper." ”
Toilet paper!? His face was all green, his body was half stiff, he raised his hands high, he wanted to shake it but was afraid to throw it everywhere, his expression was distorted, he wanted to gag, and suddenly he ran to the faucet in the corner of the small shop, and fetched the water to wash it desperately.
The room erupted with his frantic curses.
Mei Yueru looked like she was thundered, looked at Lin Jixin dumbfounded, and relieved herself for a while: "You won't really ......"
She blushed and didn't continue.
Lin Jixin smiled: "Look." ”
He tore open the mouth of the bag and handed it to Mei Yueru.
Mei Yueru frowned in disgust, but what she smelled was an unexpected smell.
She glanced at Lin Jixin in surprise, hesitated and slowly twisted her face back.
Lin Jixin smiled: "Smell it, peanut butter!" ”
Although it wasn't really pooping, Lin Jixin's facial expression was very good just now, and he deceived Mei Yueru and the two together.
"You're a terrible man." Looking at the neighbors who were washing their hands red with detergent under the faucet and still washing them over and over again, Mei Yueru finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Holding a bottle of drink given by Mei Yueru, under her strong urging, Lin Jixin left before the hapless neighbor came to find trouble.
With a large bag of things, he couldn't get a taxi on the bustling street, and when he was depressed, he could only squeeze into a bus, and then in the difficult and painful process of squeezing and transferring, he made up his mind to get his own car.
When he finally arrived at the station, he let out a long sigh on the platform, seeing that the time was not early, and simply went to find a nearby place to eat.
After eating and drinking, he walked home with his things, and after walking a short distance, he suddenly frowned secretly, and in his keen sense, a tail in the distance was coming to him.
The man had been quite experienced in stalking, far away, and had never been careful not to pay much attention to his direction, so that he had not noticed it before, and if it had not been for the path he had taken, he would not have noticed it now.
He quietly glanced at the man, and his powerful memory allowed him to know the identity of the stalker, who was one of the few people who chased him and Zhang Yuan that day.
That's the opponent of "Nail" Cheng Da, it seems that he wants to find out where Cheng Da is from him, no wonder he will follow him quietly.
With his mind racing, he forked into the road leading to the park.
By this time, twilight had already covered the park, and there were still quite a few people walking after dinner, so he slowly walked to the top of the mountain, and the more he walked, the darker it became, and there were fewer and fewer people on the road.
When he suddenly made a turn at a boulder, the stalker, who had to close the distance because of the darkness, could no longer pretend to look left and right, and ran two quick steps to catch up on the corner where his view was blocked.
As far as the eye can see, there is no human figure in sight.
He burst out of his mouth with a national curse, and handed the mobile phone that he had been open in his hand to his ear: "I lost it!" ”
And then another foul word.
Just as he was about to descend the mountain, a voice came from overhead: "Looking for me? ”
When he looked up, he saw Lin Jixin standing on the top of a rock five or six meters high, and the mountain wind blew his thin clothes and hunted.
Since he accidentally discovered Lin Jixin, he regarded this as a gift from God, a thin student, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to escape from his palm, if it weren't for tracking down the location of the "nail" Cheng Da, he would have caught this kid a long time ago.
But at this moment, he, who had never worried about his own safety, suddenly realized that he might have taken it too far.
Somehow, the animal world he had seen in his mind was flooded with the crocodiles in the waterhole, floating like dead wood by the drinking prey, motionless, only his two eyes emitting a bloodthirsty glow, and he felt that he was the little animal that he didn't know.
He clearly felt that the hair on the back of his head stood up in an instant, this feeling had also been felt in a group fight for turf, when the bright machete was only a few centimeters away from his neck, if it wasn't for his friend pushing hard at the moment of life and death, the knife would definitely cut off half of his neck.
After all, he was a person who had walked on the line of life and death, and he tried his best to hold back the screams that surged to his mouth, and the action of biting down hard brought severe pain while also regaining the strength of his weak limbs, and then he did not hesitate to go down the mountain.
This is halfway up the mountain, and rolling down will definitely be a life and death, but his intuition tells him that if he moves slowly, he won't even have this small chance.
As soon as the person moved, he saw Lin Jixin sweeping straight from the two-story building.
"Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey......"
The other end of the phone sensed that something was wrong, kept calling, glanced at the phone number displayed in the phone, Lin Jixin hung up coldly, took out the battery and put the phone card in his pocket, and continued to walk into the mountain with his neck crooked and twisted to the side of the tracker.
was found by someone, and followed him near his residence, those people will definitely not let go of his clue, even if it is just for self-preservation, this time, it seems that it is not possible to care about the matter of "nail" Cheng Da.
After stepping on the soil under his feet hard, Lin Jixin raised his head and sighed indifferently, tomorrow in spring, the wild chrysanthemums in the mountains will bloom all over the slopes, and this place will not have any particularly noticeable traces except for the lush growth.
I don't know when I fell in love with the rooftop of the inpatient department, often running up quietly after the completion of chemotherapy, different from the cold and desperate air in the ward, the wind here is full of fresh smell of grass and trees, if there is rain, even mixed with the sweet smell of the moist soil of the mountain behind the silk, sometimes, she will close her eyes and open her arms, and the oncoming mountain wind whistles and rushes through her elbows and arms, at that moment, she feels that her soul seems to break free from her fragile body and fly freely in the sky, Even the discomfort caused by chemotherapy has disappeared.
If you jump like this, then you can really be free, she often thinks.
Today, she slipped up quietly while the nurse was not paying attention, and the setting sun was setting over the distant horizon, revealing half of its head, struggling to slide off, and it was a bleak color of blood on all sides.
"Same as me." She muttered in her heart, and immediately turned her attention to Xiaoshanbao, looking at the mountains full of trees, her mood suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
After standing for a while, she saw a man turn halfway up the hill in the night, still carrying a humanoid object in his hand, and soon the humanoid thing was buried in the earth.
Could it be...... There were some bad associations in her mind, and at this moment, the figure a few miles away suddenly turned in her direction, and a cold aura enveloped her, and she involuntarily took a step back.
Calming down, she cautiously leaned forward, and no longer half of the figure was in sight.
"Where's it? Dazzling? Impossible! She was a little confused, and then a shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of her vision.
She turned her head suddenly, and on the old-fashioned cement fence beside her, an emaciated boy about her age sat at some point.
Watching the boy's feet dangling in the air at will, he didn't care at all about the height of the rooftop twenty or thirty meters above the ground.
Although she couldn't see the face of the person who buried it, her instinct clearly told him that this was the person she had seen before.
You must know that the distance just now is several miles of mountain roads, and her hands are cold.
She immediately relaxed again and looked at the boy: "Do you know the way, I always wish I could fly." ”
"Huh?" Lin Jixin's brain couldn't react a little, he was just seen a secret that shouldn't be seen, so he came over to silence him, but he didn't expect the other party's actions to be completely unexpected.
He stared at her. It was a delicate girl of sixteen or seventeen, her face was almost pale, and long veins of pale green could be seen under the translucent skin.
"Do me a favor, I'm flying." Yue Bing leaned his body out of the railing, his hands stretched out like wings, his big eyes looked back at him, and there was not the slightest trace of panic in his quiet eyes.
The mountain wind blew, her long dress fluttered in the wind, and her thin body seemed to be about to go with the wind.
With the acuity of Lin Jixin's current feelings, he could tell at a glance whether he was pretending to be a gesture, and because of this, Yue Bing's reaction made him a little interested.
At that moment, he heard someone walking briskly up the stairs on the rooftop.
"Here tomorrow afternoon." He whispered.
Yes? Now it was Yue Bing's turn to be puzzled.
At this moment, the door behind her was pushed open with a creak, and she turned her head, and standing at the door was a slightly obese woman in her thirties and forties, her eyebrows raised high, and she screamed: "It's not that you don't come here!" ”
"Go down!" She walked over angrily, raised her hand and slapped it hard.
Yue Bing covered his face and walked in without saying a word, his gaze swept across the rooftop, and it was as empty as before. She didn't know if she was happy or disappointed.
Go back to the back mountain first and pick up the things that were thrown down, and then Lin Jixin walked to the residence.
The most correct thing to do just now was to kill Yue Bing, but if he stayed, he felt that it was more important to have a good idea than that security concern, just like he did to Feng Yajing at the beginning - didn't Feng Yajing also help him later.
"Anyway, the other party doesn't know who he is." He thought.
Besides, even if something really goes wrong, he is confident that he will solve it.
