Chapter 109: Chance Encounter
After boarding the fast train to Senqiu City, there was no word all the way, and in the early morning of the next day, Yang Yi returned to his hometown after a long absence.
In fact, it has only been half a year, but before joining the army, Yang Yi has never been far away. For him, this is already the longest trip away from home.
Morigaoka City is still the same, and it hasn't changed at all.
The halls of the train station are littered with garbage, and a few homeless people are huddled in the corner near the gate. Outside, the sky was gray. Although it is early in the morning, like other cities on the planet, Morigaoka City is a city that never sleeps, and bright lights light up the night sky.
Perhaps, on the bone-buried planet, the only thing that is not lacking is electricity.
The air was muddy and filled with an indescribable stench.
Walking out of the train station, Yang Yi took a deep breath and then showed a bitter smile. Lin Feng frowned, not because of the stench, but because the girl in the flower shirt was still following them. Yang Yi didn't worry at all, and he was already surprised by what he was targeting. Obviously, Lin Feng showed his wealth when he bought a ticket and was targeted. The girl who is watching is definitely not acting alone, and there are companions. The bandits were not in a hurry, first, it was inconvenient in the train station, and second, they didn't figure out the origin of Yang Yi and Lin Feng. In fact, there is no need to worry, Yang Yi and Lin Feng are both soldiers of the special investigation team, and most of the robbers on the Bone Burial Star are desperate civilians.
Before joining the army, Yang Yi knew a lot of such people.
Although robbery is a crime, and under federal law, robbery is a felony, not all robbers are willing to do it, they just have no other means of earning a living. In order to survive, or even to feed their families, many people can only take risks.
Who can be blamed for this?
At junior school, Yang Yi used to argue with other students about the issue at a debate tournament and took a sympathetic stance.
If the Bone Planet had not been depleted by the depletion of its resources, if the large corporations that had settled in the Bone Planet had not divested, if the ecological environment had not been devastated by overexploitation, if the federal authorities had provided proper assistance, and if there were simply enough jobs for everyone to have the materials they needed to survive through their labor, who would have done the business of robbery for a loaf of bread?
Now, Yang Yi has a deeper impression of this, especially after visiting the home galaxy.
Many people regard the home galaxy as a paradise, and the home galaxy is indeed a paradise, and the prosperity of the home galaxy is based on the decline of the colonized planet.
"Let's go, I'll show you around."
"Now?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy some gifts?"
Lin Feng was a little speechless, but Yang Yi was right. As Yang Yi's girlfriend, it was the first time to come to the door, and it was really not decent to bring some gifts.
Although Morigaoka City is the second largest city in the Bone Star, it has long since declined. At its peak, Morigaoka had 17 million inhabitants, but now there are less than 5 million left. As a result of the massive decline in population, many of the high-rise buildings built during the boom have become borderless. There are many abandoned buildings near the train station, most of which have long since been abandoned, and a few have become hiding dens for criminals and fugitives.
After walking for a while, Lin Feng realized that something was wrong.
Yang Yi didn't take her to the shopping mall, nor did he take the main road, but got into the alley, and walked very slowly, as if he was afraid that the girl who was watching did not follow.
"Ah Yi ......"
"It's never a good idea to be stared at, is it?"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned and understood what Yang Yi meant. They are now male and female thieves, obviously they can't go to see Yang Yi's grandfather in this way, they have to find a place to restore their original appearance. has been stared at, obviously unable to survive, so I have to find a way to solve this trouble.
After walking for a while, the two came to a dead end before Yang Yi stopped.
The girl didn't follow up, but she couldn't hide it from Yang Yi. She hid outside the alley, and knew it was a dead end, so it was too conspicuous to follow in.
"Come out, I know you're outside."
The girl did not appear, and all that answered Yang Yi was an echo.
"There are others, they've been following us for so long, aren't they just trying to steal our money. Could it be that you are still scared when you arrive at the doorstep? ”
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, Yang Yi is a master who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, so naturally he will not take a few robbers in his eyes.
A moment later, a group of people appeared at the mouth of the alley, all young people about twenty years old, and the leader was a yellow-haired person, who knew at a glance that it was not a good thing.
Seeing this group of people, Yang Yi suddenly laughed.
Yang Yi's expression made Lin Feng confused, and he didn't understand what he was laughing at. Even if you don't take the robbers seriously, there's no reason to laugh so happily.
"Don't show me, wait and see me."
Lin Feng was a little speechless, but he didn't say much. They are soldiers of the special investigation team, and if they really want to fight, none of these robbers can taste the sweetness.
Tell Lin Feng a word, and Yang Yi greeted him.
"This old brother, it seems that you are also mixed up on the road." brought a group of subordinates, and Huang Mao's courage was very strong. "I won't say much about the rules, we want money and don't want to die. Those who are interested in it leave cash, jewelry, and other valuable things behind, and then get out, and we act as if nothing happened. ”
"Really?"
"What, do you think there's room for negotiation?"
Yang Yi looked at Huang Mao and said with a smile: "Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid you are not even twenty years old." Since you said the rules, I will also talk about the rules. Now take your people and leave, and I'll act as if nothing happened. Otherwise, I will teach you a good lesson for your brother Yang. ”
"You ......"
"Do it yourself, or let me do it?"
What Yang Yi began to say made Huang Mao stand on the spot. It's just that after he said "get out", the subordinates brought by Huang Mao couldn't help it.
"Brother Mao, clean him up."
"This guy toasts and doesn't eat and drink, and makes him bleed a little."
"Yes, let's go together."
……
"Shut up!" Huang Mao suddenly snorted, frightening the little minions behind him to shut up. "This big brother, do you know Brother Yang?"
"What do you say?"
Huang Mao looked at Yang Yi carefully, looking undecided.
Yang Yi began to laugh, not for anything else, but to know Huang Mao.
Huang Mao's name is Zhou Jiarui, who is also from Senqiu City, and is a classmate of Yang Yi in junior high school. Ten years ago, after Yang Yi stepped into the threshold of the junior school, the first person to teach a lesson was Zhou Jiarui. At that time, Zhou Jiarui secretly scolded Yang Yi for being a wild child without a father. Probably scared by Yang Yi, the two have become friends since then, and Zhou Jiarui even regarded Yang Yi as an idol to worship. The reason is also very simple, Zhou Jiarui often gets into trouble because of his unclean mouth, and every time he stands up for him, it is Yang Yi who helps him fight. Although he is rarely beaten, Yang Yi is often punished for fighting for Zhou Jiarui, and it is common for him to be named and criticized at the school's teacher-student conference.
Half a year ago, Yang Yi passed the conscription physical examination and review, but Zhou Jiarui was brushed down because he failed the physical examination.
Since then, the two have not been in touch.
Although Yang Yi was worried, knowing that Zhou Jiarui's family background was not very good, he would definitely not be able to go to an intermediate college to study, let alone be admitted to a higher education institution, otherwise he would not have filled out the volunteer form with Yang Yi at the beginning, but Yang Yi never thought that Zhou Jiarui would become a robber.
This guy has always been timid and afraid, he hides behind Yang Yi every time he fights, and he is the first to run away if the situation is not right, and he also said that he would "go back and report the news". Not to mention anything else, when Yang Yi was angered, it was also because he scolded Yang Yi behind his back. How could such a timid person have anything to do with robbery?
Also, why would the other little minions follow him and treat him as a big brother.
Could it be that in the past six months, Zhou Jiarui has completely changed as a person?
No, it should be forced by life.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi sighed secretly. I haven't seen him for half a year, and the brothers of the year have fallen to this.
"This old brother, if you really know Brother Yang, I just have no eyes. If you're lying to me, don't blame my brother for being ruthless. ”
"Zhou Jiarui, where did you get the guts?"
Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, and the other party directly said his name, so what he said before was naturally true.
Yang Yi sighed again and let Lin Feng take out a stack of banknotes.
"Zhou Jiarui, I came to Senqiu City this time, firstly, to visit your eldest brother Yang's family, and secondly, I was entrusted by your eldest brother Yang to hand over this money to you."
"Me?"
"Your brother Yang is now an officer, and he will participate in activities in the capital, and he will come over in a few days. He knew that the situation in your family was not very good, and he was worried that you would do something wrong because of the pressure of life, so he specifically told me to give you this money. Your brother Yang also asked me to tell you that you must have a clear conscience in life and work. Yang Yi stuffed the banknote into Huang Mao's hand. Don't say much else, you know for yourself. ”
Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, this dramatic change made him not react at once.
Yang Yi didn't say anything more, and called Lin Feng out of the alley. They are now male and female thieves, and the initial rhetoric was just made up. Zhou Jiarui is Yang Yi's best friend, and if he says a few more words, he may be able to see through Yang Yi's disguise. Even if Zhou Jiarui is trustworthy, Yang Yi doesn't want to make trouble. Besides, if the news spreads, Yang Yi is not afraid of trouble, and Zhou Jiarui will definitely be implicated.
"I can't see it, you're quite generous."
"He's my little hair."
Lin Feng also wanted to make fun of Yang Yi, but after noticing Yang Yi's expression, he also closed his mouth. Obviously, this chance encounter made Yang Yi's mood very bad.
Getting rid of the tail, the two did not delay any longer and went to the shopping center.
Because he was going to Yang Yi's house, and Lin Feng was going to meet Yang Yi's parents for the first time, when he was shopping, Lin Feng refused to let Yang Yi pay. In fact, Yang Yi didn't have any money on him, and the money he gave to Zhou Jiarui at the beginning was from Lin Feng. Yang Yi is also nowhere to be seen, after all, his relationship with Lin Feng is extraordinary. Besides, the gift from the granddaughter-in-law in the future will definitely make the grandfather feel very face-saving.
Of course, it's not a precious thing, just a few good bottles of wine.
