Chapter 3: Monsters
"!" Jiang Yun looked at the direction of the BMW car in a daze, and only held back these two words after a long time.
He laughed at himself, it turned out to be a rich lady, no wonder he was so cold, but also, a hard-working silk man like himself, of course these rich people don't look down on it, or honestly find a job and continue to work hard, in order to live a well-off life, which is his correct goal.
"Oops, I wanted to ask her to borrow five more yuan to take the subway just now, but I ran away before I finished speaking, am I so terrible?" Jiang Yun remembered another reason for chasing him, now that he was penniless, he was afraid that he could only walk back on his own legs, but after thinking about it, it was more than twenty kilometers away from his rented house, and his face was as ugly as a frosted eggplant.
The bad things encountered one after another made Jiang Yun's mood very bad, looking at the two boxes of noodles in his hand, he couldn't help but curse himself for being stupid, what kind of fart noodles to buy now, you can go back to the commissary near the rental house to buy it again, now it's okay, even the cost of going back is gone, this more than 20 kilometers of walking down, I am afraid that my feet will be crippled.
Although he also has a few classmates in this city to develop here, they are not familiar with each other, and he has asked them for help, but they have all been 'politely refused' for various reasons, rather than touching the ashes of his nose, it is better to walk back by himself. However, he soon thought of the girl he had been chasing for almost a year, this girl he met in his first job in this city, although her appearance was not particularly beautiful, but her quiet personality and temperament attracted Jiang Yun, this is the third girl that Jiang Yun has met since he was so old and can make his heart move.
The first two have been secretly in love with each other because of their inferiority, and they don't dare to take any action, and then it's gone, but the girl he met this time made Jiang Yun extremely tempted, and even let him get out of the shadow of inferiority complex and boldly pursue this girl, I thought that the girl would not look down on him who was destitute, but after pursuing it with a sincere heart, the results achieved were also beyond his expectations, although the girl did not officially agree to be his girlfriend in the end, but the relationship between the two was already very ambiguous, like a couple, and the girl also promised that as long as his career was a little successful, he would officially agree to be his girlfriend。
Jiang Yun carried a briefcase, walked to a stone bench on the side of the road with two boxes of noodles and sat down, took out a domestic large-screen mobile phone that he bought for 699 yuan, clicked on the WeChat icon on the screen, and found a friend with the nickname 'Ting'er Baby' on the homepage, whose real name is Ye Ting.
"Ting'er, I'm having a bad day today, I'm in a bad mood, I want comfort. He added a pitiful expression to the end, and then clicked send.
Jiang Yun stared at the screen and waited for a while, but still didn't see Ye Ting's reply, so he returned to the desktop of the mobile phone with some interest, flipped the screen aimlessly left and right, and clicked on WeChat again, after making sure that Ye Ting had not replied to the message, he unwillingly closed the mobile phone screen, stuffed the mobile phone into his trouser pocket, leaned back on the chair, looked up at the blue sky with a few white clouds floating, didn't know what he was thinking, and his face was dazed and melancholy.
"Ding Dong"
I don't know how long it took, the mobile phone in the trouser pocket suddenly came with a message prompt sound, Jiang Yun sat up like a cat with its tail stepped on, quickly took out the mobile phone, and when he opened WeChat and saw that it was Ye Ting's message, he was overjoyed.
"Jiang Yun, I have something to tell you. "That's what the message is about.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but be very curious, and at the same time had some expectations, what did Ye Ting want to say to him, did he want to go on a date with me tonight? Or have lunch together?
Jiang Yun thought beautifully in his heart, and when he was thinking about how to reply to the message, the phone shook slightly, and Ye Ting sent a message again, and when he saw the content of this message, his whole person froze, as if he had been immobilized.
"I have a boyfriend, he's the department manager of my company, let's not contact each other in the future, I'm sorry, you're a good person. ”
Jiang Yun felt like a child abandoned by his parents at this time, the whole world was gray and lifeless, his heart was very painful, he was unwilling, panting and constantly clicking on the screen.
"Why??? we said okay, when I have a successful career, you will be my girlfriend!" Because my mind was too chaotic, I kept typing and deleting, deleting, and reducing before I successfully sent it.
"I'm sorry, what you gave me, I'll pack it and courier it to you. Ye Ting soon sent another message.
"I don't want your sorry, I don't want those things, I just want you, believe me, I will give you happiness. ”
Jiang Yun replied quickly, there was still luck in his heart, trying to save this relationship, but his message was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't get any response, he sent several messages in a row, Ye Ting didn't reply, and no one answered when he called.
"It turns out that I've always been just a spare tire, that's all. ”
Jiang Yun smiled, his smile was full of bitterness and sadness, and finally he was dead, he wanted to cry but couldn't cry, as if he had lost the strength of his whole body, the whole person sat on the stone chair weakly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, as if a century had passed, Jiang Yun slowly sat up straight, put the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, and showed an ugly smile on his face, full of self-deprecation and helplessness, no matter how sincere his feelings are, he can't match the colorful banknotes, which is no wonder to anyone, only to blame his own uselessness.
Ignoring the strange stares cast by passers-by, Jiang Yun picked up two boxes of noodles and walked in one direction, he just wanted to return to the rental room as soon as possible, close himself up, and don't want to ask anything. It was like this until one o'clock in the afternoon, tired and hungry, he couldn't hold on anymore, and sat directly on the roadbed to rest, he felt that this was the most embarrassing day of his life.
However, there are still a lot of good people in this world, not far away an old man who bought scallion pancakes at a roadside stall, saw his strangeness, and after taking the initiative to ask about the situation, he not only invited him to eat scallion pancakes for free, but also stuffed him with a piece of ten yuan, and asked him to take the subway back. In addition to being moved, Jiang Yun was unwilling to take the old man's favor in vain, and insisted on helping him sell scallion pancakes for an afternoon to pay off his debts, regardless of the old man's opposition. Under Jiang Yun's hard shouting, he also pulled a lot of business for the old man.
When Jiang Yun took the No. 7 subway line back to Changyu District, it was already half past six in the afternoon, and when he came back, he ate a meal of scallion pancakes at the old man's, and now he is not hungry. The exit of the subway station is not far from his rented house, and it takes about ten or twenty minutes to walk, in order to save money, he usually walks to the subway station in and out.
After a day of calmness, Jiang Yun's mood calmed down a lot, and he also figured out some things, knowing that these things could not be forced, if he didn't want history to repeat himself, then he could only work hard to climb up and climb to a height that people looked up to.
It's useless to complain, it's all on your own.
As usual, he took a shortcut through an old town to be demolished, which had been unoccupied for half a year and had not been carried out because some formalities had not yet been implemented.
Jiang Yun held two boxes of noodles, walked alone on the dimly lit road, looking at the dark residential buildings on both sides, he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, remembering that in the past few days, he heard the tenants of the same building talk about several cases of missing people in the vicinity, and a little fear rose in his heart.
Just when Jiang Yun was holding two boxes of noodles and speeding up his steps, when he passed a dark Xiaogangzi intersection, he suddenly heard a girl's scream coming from the depths of the alley, which made Jiang Yun, who was already a little nervous, suddenly excited, and almost threw the two boxes of noodles out.
Jiang Yun looked at the dark alley, and there was a burst of doubt in his heart, although he was thinking about something just now, he was very sure that the girl's scream just now was indeed coming from this alley, and it was very miserable, as if something terrible had happened.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun couldn't help frowning, something must have been found in this alley, it is very likely that a girl has encountered something dangerous, but he is not strong in shape, and he does not know any fighting skills at all, even if there is only one criminal in it, he can't beat it.
The worst thing is that because of the recent loss of contact, almost no one takes this road anymore, and now there is no one around, just him.
Jiang Yun shouted a few times into the alley, but no one answered, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, worried that the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous the girl would be.
After the battle between the heavens and the people, he gritted his teeth and secretly screamed to fight, Jiang Yun decided to come to the rescue, because he couldn't do this kind of thing if he didn't save him when he saw death. After figuring it out, Jiang Yun lightly hid the two boxes of noodles and the briefcase containing the laptop in his hand, took out the mobile phone with his left hand, and picked up a brick on the ground with his right hand.
Then he pressed 110 on the dialing button of his mobile phone, but he didn't dial it out, because he was afraid that if things were not what he imagined, he wouldn't know how to explain to the police uncle.
Because the mobile phone did not have a flash, Jiang Yun had to use the faint light of the screen to carefully grope forward, while advancing, Jiang Yun shouted a few more times inside, but still did not see any response, he had to continue to walk in, as if a long time had passed, as if this alley had no end, the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, it was still pitch black in front of him, and the entrance behind him also disappeared, as if he had entered an unknown dark world.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but become panicked in his heart, and shouted a few times into the darkness in front of him again, how much he hoped to get a response from the girl, even if it was a response from a criminal, but things would never go as he wanted, and it was still quiet.
There was no way, Jiang Yun's will was on the verge of collapse, he decided to go back first, walk out of the alley and then find a way, but at this time, the sudden change abruptly, the previous girl's scream sounded again, but this time the scream came from above his head, and it was close at hand, this time Jiang Yun exploded, and he stepped back several steps until his back hit the wall behind him, and then stopped.
Jiang Yun hurriedly looked up, and with the help of the faint light of his mobile phone, he saw a creepy scene, only to see a creature that he had never seen before climbing on a wall four or five meters high, this creature could be called a monster according to their current world concept.
This monster is twice as big as an adult strong man, with no hair on its body, wrinkled dark green skin, a row of sharp bone spurs on the tip of its long tail, lying on the wall like a lizard, and the most terrifying thing is that this monster actually has a dark green human face, which can be vaguely recognized as a woman's terrifying face, and the girl's scream just now came from the mouth of this monster.
