Chapter 15: A Little Warmth
The scenery on both sides gradually became familiar, and Zheng Pei found a way to the Chengsheng Building. www.biquge.info At this time, it was already night, and the insects were desperately hitting the street lamps, making a "popping" sound. The temperature had turned cold, and a gust of wind swept by, and Zheng Pei shivered.
Finally walked to the Cheng Sheng Building, the corn kernels in his trouser pocket had already been eaten, and Zheng Pei was cold and hungry. The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang came out of the guard room, as if he didn't see Zheng Pei, got on his bicycle and left. And Zheng Pei didn't have the strength to take care of him, the light in the guard room made him feel a little warm, he walked a few steps quickly, pushed the door in.
Seeing Zheng Pei come in, Old Man Zhang put down the newspaper and hurriedly asked, "Where did you kid run last night?" Tell me when I go, I thought you were ...... What's wrong with your face? Is it a fight? I'll take a look, I'll see. ”
"Well, it's okay, I fell," Zheng Pei put down his burden and pretended to be relaxed, "I left first last night when I was in a bit of a hurry, I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang." ”
"Hey, that's all trivial, don't do anything wrong!" Old man Zhang took a closer look at the bruises on Zheng Pei's face and found that it was not very serious, so he was relieved. He looked at Zheng Pei with a depressed look, and asked again, "Have you eaten?" ”
This sentence was asked to Zheng Pei's heart, he rubbed his hands awkwardly, smiled and didn't speak.
"Oh, I have porridge and steamed buns here, my wife brought them to me, they should still be hot, you hurry up and eat some." Old man Zhang took out a net bag from a drawer, which contained two aluminum lunch boxes.
"No, Uncle Zhang, I'm not hungry." Zheng Peiqiang held back his saliva and hurriedly excused himself. But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a "gurgling" sound in his stomach.
Old man Zhang looked at him with a smile and said jokingly: "Hey, are you polite to me?" You young man, hungry fast. After speaking, he stuffed the net pocket into Zheng Pei's hand involuntarily, "I came over after dinner in the evening, and I will go home for breakfast tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about me." After speaking, Old Man Zhang thought for a while, picked up the flashlight, put on his coat, and said to Zheng Pei: "You stay here first, I will go to the activity." ”
Old man Zhang pushed the door and went out. Zheng Pei's tears fell down his chin and fell into the porridge, and he swept away two steamed buns and a lunch box of preserved egg porridge with a "snoring". After eating, put the lunch box and chopsticks neatly and put them in the net pocket. Now he was the only one in the guard room, quietly, listening to the sound of the quartz clock "ticking and ticking", Zheng Pei gave a warm burp.
The two burdens on the table pulled Zheng Pei back to reality from the warmth of the food, he still has to go to see Ba Niang tonight, I don't know what Ba Niang will ask for. Zheng Pei carefully recalled what happened in the past two days, he guessed that maybe he could live a normal life again after helping Ba Niang avenge him, so the most important thing at the moment was to complete all the things she asked for as soon as possible, and he didn't want to be at her mercy forever. Moreover, Zheng Pei silently looked at his arm, even if it was for himself, he should try his best to cooperate with Ba Niang.
"Hah, it's cold." Old man Zhang pushed the door in, put down the flashlight, and shivered while taking off his coat.
"Oh, Uncle Zhang, it's cold, you have to pay attention to your body." Zheng Pei picked up the flashlight and two burdens, and said to Old Man Zhang: "I'll go on the night patrol, you can sleep well tonight, and leave everything to me." ”
"Hey, what are you doing with your baggage?" Old man Zhang asked a little strangely.
"Oh, this is something sent to me from home," a hint of panic flashed in Zheng Pei's eyes, "There are also some books, I plan to take them to the building to see." ”
"Oh, then there you go. Come back when it's cold. Old man Zhang took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, but he immediately sat up again and pointed to the coat he had just taken off, "Hey, Xiao Zhang, you put my coat on, it's cold at night." ”
Zheng Pei happily agreed, picked up his coat and went out. He gently closed the door, for fear of disturbing Old Man Zhang.
Zheng Pei put on his coat, looked at the endless night sky, and sighed, you can put on a coat when the night is cold, but what about the cold heart? He looked at Cheng Sheng's building, turned on his flashlight and walked into the dark corridor.
