Chapter 3 The Dense Forest by the Lake
[December 22. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.infoγ
Zhong Yan walked home alone, the snow has not stopped falling from yesterday to today, sometimes it is goose-feathered snow, sometimes it is falling sporadically.
Zhong Yan's home is not very far from the school, and only needs to pass by a park, but it is also the only way. There is the only artificial lake in the city in the park, Zhong Yan is especially afraid of walking alone by the lake after school at night, the so-called oxygen-rich forest in the park seems to her to be as terrible as hell, as if people will jump out of it at any time.
In the past, Zhang Weiyong accompanied her on this road, but after that incident, Zhang Weiyong was silent and never went home with Zhong Yan.
The whole road was empty, and Zhong Yan walked cautiously by the river with an umbrella, for fear of falling into the snow. The wind blowing on the surface of the lake seemed to be very biting, which made Zhong Yan can't help but speed up his pace. Shoes creaking when they step on the snow.
But Zhong Yan stopped, and she seemed to hear the voice of someone talking in the woods that frightened her. But Zhong Yan didn't have the courage to look at it, she chose to walk forward quickly and leave this place quickly. Leave those uneasy distractions behind.
At this moment, in the woods.
"You say, when will you give the money?" The person who spoke had a 2,3 cm scar on his face and was playing with a delicate-looking knife in his hand, "How long are you going to drag?" β
"Big brother, I really don't have any money, just a few days, just a few days." If the owner of the voice had stopped to look at it just now, he would have recognized that this was his classmate, Deng Yuan. "I've recently gotten some money, and I'm sure I'll be able to pay it back before Christmas."
"You kid" Scarface stared at Deng Yuan, "don't play tricks on me, if you call the police, you just wait for me to kill you." β
"No, no." Deng Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, "There is really no big brother, it is really because there is no money on him, he must give it before Christmas." β
"Christmas at the latest" saw Scarface straighten his leather coat, put the knife in the holster, inserted it into his waist, and then zipped the leather coat to cover the knife. He turned around and disappeared into the woods.
At this time, the snow on the tree seemed to bend a certain branch, and a large amount of snow slipped down from the branch, smashed into Deng Yuanyuan, seeped into his neck, and shivered with cold.
He patted the snow on his body and head, and suddenly heard the sound of Scarface, so he lowered his body and walked slowly in the direction of the sound, holding his breath to carefully distinguish the owners of the two voices.
[December 20th.] γ
Deng Yuan walked home as usual, his home was not far from the school, and he and Zhong Yan were both passing through the same park.
Deng Yuan likes to walk this section of the road by the lake, quiet and peaceful, although the wind on the lake is cold, but it makes people very awake, coming out of the groggy class, such an environment can undoubtedly make people feel refreshed.
The only fly in the ointment is this woods, there has never been a security patrol at night, and it is dark and oppressive, and it looks very mad.
Deng Yuan slowed down and enjoyed the most peaceful time of the day, the high school is undoubtedly a microcosm of society, and everything exists in it.
"Hey, bro, good shoes."
Deng Yuan was startled, he didn't know when there was an extra man behind him, he was very young, he seemed to be a student, but he had a scar on his face, which looked terrifying.
"What are you going to do?" Deng Yuan took a step back vigilantly.
"Yo, it's still like a little girl" Scarface's mouth rose slightly, "robbery, have you heard of it?" To put it mildly, it's called collecting protection money" After speaking, Scarface took out the knife in his pocket and played with it in his hand, "Don't think about running away, I've been watching you for days." β
"I, I don't have any money" Deng Yuan didn't expect the plot that appeared in the book to really happen to him, he was a little flustered for a moment, but then calmed down, "I really don't have any money on me, big brother, do you want to give it to you in two days?" β
"Okay" Scarface readily agreed, but he whispered a word in Deng Yuan's ear. Deng Yuan's eyes widened in horror, and he couldn't say a word.
"Got it, the day after tomorrow, I'll ask for five hundred, waiting for you here" Scarface smiled very proudly. It's like you're under control.
Then he turned around and left, very chic. Deng Yuan was left alone and stood in place. Overwhelmed.
After a while, Deng Yuan continued to walk forward, but the pace was very hurried, and there was no longer a so-called enjoying the breeze by the lake. Careful all the way, as if afraid of being bitten by the air.
[December 22]
Zhang Weiyong slowed down his pace, far away from Zhong Yan, the sound of his shoes stepping on the snow was clearly audible, so Zhang Weiyong tried to slow down as much as possible to prevent Zhong Yan from finding out.
Suddenly, Zhang Weiyong saw Zhong Yan stunned for a moment, and then began to speed up his pace, and he was anxious at the moment, so he also quickened his pace to keep up, and after only two steps, a person jumped out of the woods.
"Zheng Wei?" Zhang Weiyong was happy at the moment, "I didn't expect to meet you here, are you still in school?" β
The person who was called Zheng Wei by Zhang Weiyong had an obvious scar on his face, which was the scarred face that threatened Deng Yuan. Zheng Wei, who saw Zhang Weiyong, was also very happy, raised his eyebrows, and pulled the scar on his face upward.
"Hey, isn't this a big talent, now I don't go to school, after I broke Hu Kaiyong's bastard kid's leg, his parents got rid of Lao Tzu's school registration, so Lao Tzu simply stopped going to school, just clean."
"Then his family is still looking for you? I can't find you and your dad, what should I do with your dad? β
Zheng Wei snorted: "I can't find the old man, I don't know where to go all day long." Now I can only hide from his family, take one step at a time, after all, the Hu family has a bit of a relationship with the fucking family, and Lao Tzu doesn't dare to show his face outside now. β
Zhang Weiyong sighed, "Alas, it's been a hard time these years, hey, brother, I've had something happen recently, can I borrow some money?" β
Zheng Wei looked at Zhang Weiyong, "What else can you do, say, how much does it cost?" β
"Five, five hundred. No, no, three hundred, three hundred is enough" Zhang Weiyong hurriedly smiled, "Brother Zheng, you know, I am poor and have no money on me." β
"Damn, what are you kid doing, why do you want so much money." Zheng Wei was stunned when he heard the number, "Dude doesn't have so much money on him, after all, I'm living a homeless life now, where do I get the extra expenses, it's a problem for my own life." β
"No, it's okay," Zhang Weiyong's voice lowered, "It's okay, then I'll go first" and then lowered his head and walked forward.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Zhang Weiyong suddenly raised his head, "Hey, brother, what were you doing in the woods just now?" β
"Go to the bathroom." Zheng Wei smiled and gestured with his hand in a water-spraying pose. The amplitude of his movements was exaggerated, causing his leather coat to rise to reveal the knife pinned to his waist.
"Brother, can you borrow me that other thing in your waist?"
"This?" Zheng Wei took out the knife, "This kind of toy can only scare and scare people, if you want it, you can take it." β
Zhang Weiyong took the knife with one hand, although it looked exquisite and small, but Zhang Weiyong felt that it was very heavy.
"Thank you, brother, I have a chance to return it to you. Well, I'll go first."
Zheng Wei waved his hand at him and whistled, feeling that every day was a pleasant day.
Deng Yuan in the woods blinked his eyes until the figures of the two men disappeared from sight. He slowly sat down next to the tree, breathed a long sigh of relief, and wiped his face with his hands. I watched the snow fall through the cracks between the branches.
It was a long time before he got up, patted the snow off his body, jumped out of the woods, and ran in the direction of his house. The snow fell heavier and heavier behind him, and in a moment it covered their footprints.
