033 I love this place too
"I can give you money...... I can still solve that exhibitionist ......," the old mechanic almost begged, "I've lived here for more than ten years, and Guda is like my home." I'm getting old, and I'm dying...... Please, don't let me leave the house......"
The young man's eyes changed slightly, as if there were traces of loosening. After all, he was no longer facing the vicious murderer of the rainy night, but an old man.
"You're a good smart boy, let me go this time!" The right hand stabbed out suddenly, like a dormant cobra, and the sharp tip of the cone was the fang.
The viper failed to kill with one blow. For its opponent is not the poor white rabbit, but the flying falcon, perhaps not as experienced in hunting, but younger, more agile, and sharper than him.
In the flash of light, the sharp cone had fallen into the hands of the young man. The mechanic fell to the ground, not because the boy couldn't control his strength, but because touching him made the boy feel nauseous.
Staring into the eyes of the car repairman, the young man said, "I also like this place." "It's not home, but it's a fun place. There are many people here who have good intentions towards him, many people who have helped him, and many people who are important to Sujia...... She also often returns to Guda.
The old man is a great threat - if one day he can't contain his murderous desires again, if he targets Su Jia......
So, he can't continue to exist on this campus.
His hands were as steady as ever, but his body was already decrepit and too weak to carry out the next attack—until this point, the mechanic didn't realize that he had no chance of winning against the teenager. He lay on the floor on a pile of bottles and cans and bits and pieces, about crushed a shoe polish, and the pungent smell permeated the air, causing the boy to frown deeply.
The sound alarmed the owner of the second-hand bookstore a few rooms away, and when the middle-aged man put on a military coat and came over to check, he saw that the young man was helping the car repairman with both hands, and the old man was full of bitterness, and sighed tremblingly: "Old man...... It's not convenient to turn around. ”
The shopkeeper asked, "Are you alright?" Why don't you go to the hospital? After receiving a negative answer, he was a little relieved, and said, "I made braised pork there, and I brought it to you?" The repairer resigned.
The shopkeeper also knew the stubbornness of his old neighbor for many years, and said to the boy: "I'm next door, come to me if you have something." Then I went back to watching TV by my warm fire.
As soon as the owner of the second-hand bookstore left, the atmosphere in the room changed suddenly, and the appearance of peace that the two of them had tried so hard to maintain shattered. The mechanic returned to his chair, with a tube of shoe polish still stuck to his back, and sneered, "I almost scared you just now." But when you came, the first sentence was leaked - more than 20 years, the accountability period has long passed, even if you call the police now, what can you do with me? ”
The boy twisted his eyebrows, he really didn't know this, he missed the calculation. However, he is not here for justice, so he does not plan to go through the channel of calling the police - otherwise, how can he explain the process of discovering the truth?
The old man's laughter was like a owl, and the young man couldn't help but think, both old people, Mr. Shen was knowledgeable and frank; Old Man Ma is personable, wise and kind; This one, however, ...... It can be seen that not all old people are highly respected, and bad people are still bad people when they are old.
"What qualifications do you have, and what do you represent to punish me?" The car mechanic has been at the University for so many years, and he has not always been repairing cars, he has also audited the courses of the philosophy department, and he has also thought about the definition of good and evil. "You dare to say you've never done a single bad thing?"
The boy raised his hand slightly, interrupting him. "The accountability period has passed, and I will punish it in my own way. I have done bad things, but now it is not against me, but against you. Most importantly, if you are spared, how can you explain to the soul that has been wandering and weeping in the wisteria garden for more than 20 years? ”
The last few words were a little ethereal, and the young man was no longer staring at the car repairman, but slightly tilted his head to look out the window. For the first time, a warm smile appeared on his face, as if someone outside the window was actually thanking him.
In the snowy winter night, there is a cold sweat on the back of the self-repairer, and a shiver from the bottom of his heart to his hand, the pair of hands that were originally very stable, can dexterously repair watches and bicycles, and can also hurt people with sharp blades, at this moment trembling like the yellow leaves of the branches of the French plane tree in the cold wind.
"What do you want?" The mechanic hissed in despair. Until this point, he still did not forget to keep his voice down.
The boy didn't seem to hear him, and looked at the already cold food—the green leaves were half frozen with oil—and he suddenly felt a little homesick.
After a while, he took out a test tube from his coat pocket, pulled out the cork at the mouth of the tube, and sprinkled the white powder evenly in the meal in front of the car repairman, and finally did not forget to mix it intimately: "Eat it." ”
If he could, the mechanic would like to fight the boy to the death. But in the face of the absolute suppression of strength and skill, innate cowardice prevailed. Because of cowardice, he never dared to face his true self, and could only bully his relatively weak ex-wife and the female doctoral student twenty years ago, but he didn't dare to scold people with a higher status than him.
So he took the bowl and ate it with his eyes closed. Even if it was poisonous through the intestines, he had to eat it.
Puyang's heart is as calm as water. He knows that there are many strange phenomena in this world, for example, if someone does something bad, many people will come to sympathize with the perpetrator, analyze his rough life, and his compulsion...... And in the face of the victims, they will make all kinds of assumptions: it must be that you did something wrong to attract the harm...... Not only in this world, but also in ancient and modern times.
Fortunately, he grew up in a group of killers who didn't think about it - killers do business, never caring whether they target corrupt officials or good men and women.
The powder was just a byproduct of his time in the biology and chemistry lab, and it wouldn't kill anyone—he wouldn't get his hands dirty.
"From tomorrow, leave this school."
But ...... "found out that he was still alive, and the mechanics were ecstatic, but they did not dare to show it, but only snorted, "they would doubt ......"
"You're old enough." If you are old enough to give up your job at any time and return to your hometown to retire, no one will doubt it. The boy didn't want to waste his tongue any longer, so he walked to the door and lifted the curtain, turned around and nodded, "Goodbye." ”
He hasn't forgotten social etiquette!
From the moment they eat a meal with powdered medicine, the mechanic becomes weaker and weaker until he becomes an idiot who loses most of his mobility. Even if he didn't leave on his own initiative, the powder, which was synthesized by plants and acted directly on the nervous system, would be enough to send him away before the Chinese New Year.
By the beginning of the school year the following year, Gucheng University may be surprised that their "Santa Claus" is gone. But it doesn't matter, soon there will be newcomers living in the small bungalow at the intersection, and small personnel changes will not cause more feelings than regret.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and a thin layer had been laid on the ground. Under the dim street lamp, only the boy covered his face with the hat that came with his down jacket and walked in the wind and snow.
If someone walked around him and looked closely, they would probably notice that the footprints he left behind were extremely shallow. After a while, the shallow footprints were completely buried by the snowflakes, clean and smooth, as if no one had ever walked on them since ancient times.
Boarding the bus that insisted on operating at night, the cold meaning in the young man's eyes faded. When the car arrived near the South Second Ring Road, he had basically returned to his former appearance.
After getting out of the car and walking for a while, I was looking up at the lights on the floor where I lived, and suddenly a person rushed out of the building!
The man rushed all the way to a distance of three steps from the young man before he suddenly stopped, and asked him as if reproachful and conniving: "Where did you go to mess around?" ”
Pu Yang was startled by her magical pause, and pondered the trajectory of the movement carefully before blinking and saying, "Eat at Mr. Shen's house." ”
As soon as the words came out, he realized the loophole: if he couldn't wait for him, she must have already contacted Mr. Shen's family. Knowing that he had been gone for a long time and that no one had returned, this was the reason for her anxiety.
After thinking about it, it seems that he can't explain his whereabouts. The young man pursed his lips lightly and said in a low voice: "Sister, I didn't mess around......"
The slightly pale lips, the long, half-drooping eyelashes, the aggrieved little eyes and the snow all over the body...... Su Jia's heart softened suddenly, she felt that her attitude was too fierce, her tone was too urgent, and she did not give her child enough privacy and room to grow.
Thinking like this, she tried to dust off the snowflakes on Puyang's clothes, and at the same time pulled people to the elevator room, and changed the topic in her mouth: "Is it cold or not?" What do you want to eat at night? Your hands are as cold as ghosts, are you going to build a snowman......"
Teenagers are growing up, and they have a great need for nutrients, and they will have a snack every night. "Hot milk is fine." It is said that drinking milk can grow taller, but he is not much taller than her, and he has to continue to work hard......
There was plenty of heating in the room, and Su Mazi Jia took a box of soda crackers and put them on the table: "Eat some biscuits first, and it will be fine soon." "Carrying two bags of milk to the kitchen to heat up.
Pu Scheming Boy Yang praised his wit in changing the topic in time, held a cookie in his mouth, and found the 99 version of the cartoon "Journey to the West" in his laptop, and then the part he saw last time, and watched it with relish.
Su Jia heard the soundtrack and shouted in the kitchen, "You wait for me!" I'm going to see it too! As he spoke, he quickened his pace, clanging the porcelain.
Pu Yang pressed the pause button: "You slow down." Won't you be able to do it yet? "Who the hell is the child, hey!
It wasn't until the two of them drank hot milk and enjoyed the animation side by side that the hustle and bustle of the day gradually moved away. Su Jia took a bite of "My monkey brother is invincible", praising Sun Wukong's beauty and small waist.
Puyang still couldn't understand why his cousin would fall in love with a monkey...... Although the monkey is indeed very good-looking...... I thought about it for a while, but to no avail. The cartoon of more than 20 minutes was broadcast quickly, but after watching another episode, both of them were satisfied, and they washed and slept separately.
Before falling asleep, Su Jia suddenly realized that she was fooled by the bear child again: it was obviously his fault for coming home late, why did she reflect on herself!
