Chapter 42: A Strange Atmosphere
Inexplicably, Jian Shang always remembered that evening clearly.
It was still early spring. Jian Shang, who has been depressed, has just recovered a little from his decadence and depression, and has concentrated on picking up his photography career that has been intermittent for several years due to his good and bad state. Although it looks fine during the day and it has been a while since the medicine was stopped, only Jian Shang himself knows how he resisted the nightmare that would hit him when he closed his eyes at night, and forced himself to keep his eyes open until dawn.
Later, this situation was finally known to Chang Ping, he didn't want this excellent young man to continue to sink in a nightmare like this, so he took it upon himself to sign up for a training camp for Jian Shang, thinking that he could urge this child to go out to exercise and get in touch with more people. Although Jian Shang refused very much in his heart, he still couldn't bear to refute Chang Ping's kindness, and after some mental construction, he finally went.
On that day, the camp ended a little later than usual, and when evening came, the trainees also disbanded and went home. Jian Shang didn't want to go back so early, so he simply wandered around alone, wandering on this street full of begonias.
The sky was dark, and the street lamps on both sides of the street began to light up one by one, and under the warm yellow light, the lively begonia flowers of a tree also looked a little gentle and demure.
As he walked, Jian Shang suddenly noticed that there was also a girl on the other side of the road, walking in a leisurely manner similar to him, walking forward, looking up at the fragrance of the tree. Jian Shang felt that he seemed to recognize her, it seemed to be a student in the same training camp as him, because the results were too poor, and every time he finished running, he had to be taken out by the coach alone for naming, because of this special treatment, Jian Shang had to know her.
Seeing someone, Jian Shang at this moment only felt as if his quiet was disturbed, so he had no choice but to give up his rare and leisurely steps and plan to leave quickly.
"Grandma, we played against the team of the attached elementary school this afternoon, guess who won?"
"Hehe, then you don't need to ask, it must be my grandson who won!"
Not far ahead, there was a sudden sound of conversation, and an old man was holding a little boy's hand and walking this way, one was happily sharing the victory, the other was listening lovingly, and the football on the boy's fingertips was also spinning rapidly.
Accidents happen only in a split second. The soccer ball that was spinning fast in the boy's hand suddenly fell, and subconsciously, the boy let go of the hand holding his grandmother and rushed directly to the soccer ball rolling in the middle of the road.
Suddenly, a car light flashed from the opposite side, and a rapid horn sounded, and a speeding car was about to crash into the boy who was frozen in the middle of the road.
Standing stiffly on the side of the road, Jian Shang was also a little stunned, the dazzling headlights squinted his eyes, and in the light of the white flowers, Jian Shang's mind suddenly flashed everything when he was in a car accident with his parents.
"Ahh His head began to ache again, and with the frightened screams of the old man not far away, Jian Shang bent down uncomfortably holding his head.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a black shadow in the white light, and when Jian Shang looked up, the girl on the other side of the road had already rushed over, holding the little boy in his arms and blocking the front of the car.
In a short moment, the car with its horn blaring stopped in front of the girl.
The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then the driver couldn't help but rush out of the car to scold his mother, at this time, the frightened old man rushed over in tears, bending down to apologize to the driver, and holding his grandson in his arms.
Seeing this scene, the driver didn't say anything, and when he saw that everything was fine, he got in the car and left.
The girl got up again and sent an old and a small ball to the side of the road, telling her to pay attention to safety and so on. When he was about to leave, he saw the little boy on the side looking sluggish, as if he was greatly frightened. Seeing this, the girl looked around left and right, picked up a begonia branch that fell to the ground from the side, squatted in front of the child, and said in a brisk tone, "Children, look, how beautiful the flowers are blooming today!" Take it back and give it to your mother, she will be very happy to see it, and maybe she will make you a lot of delicious food. Well...... I'm hungry just thinking about it! ”
As if remembering his mother's presence, the boy's dull expression began to loosen, and his eyes rolled before he fell into his grandmother's arms and cried.
The old man looked at the girl's eyes, and hurriedly took over the words and continued to comfort, "Okay, okay, it's okay, Xiaobo, don't be afraid, your mother called me just now and said, I made your favorite shrimp tonight, let's eat more when we go back in a while, okay?" ”
The child was greedy, and when he heard his grandmother's words in a hazy eye with teary eyes, he hurriedly raised his head from his grandmother's arms and asked with a crying voice, "Really?" Wonderful grandma! Then let's go back now. ”
After the old and the young left with a thousand thanks, the girl watched them go away, and suddenly as if her legs were weak, she squatted down on the lamp pole on the side of the road.
When Jian Shang, who had recovered at this time, passed by the girl's side, the girl was patting her chest and muttering, "Woo! It's terrible, it's terrible! It scared the hell out of me......"
Jian Shang, who walked over, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth lightly and smiled.
Suddenly, a gentle wind blew, and a begonia flower staggered down from the tree and fell onto the collar of the simple merchant who was passing under the tree. He took the flower in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the figure still squatting under the street lamp.
Jian Shang said silently in his heart, well, it is indeed beautiful.
……
When Yanxiao opened his eyes, it was already bright outside the window, and the plain white curtain was blocking the sunlight that wanted to come in from the window lattice. Glancing around the strange room with hazy eyes, he suddenly remembered everything that had been in danger the night before, and sat up from the bed with a smile.
Where is this?
Just wondering, the closed door of the room was opened from the outside at this time, and Jian Shang was standing at the door with a glass of water and looked at Yan Xiao in surprise, "Are you awake?" ”
Yanxiao nodded a little awkwardly, and hurriedly asked, "This is here?" ”
"My home. You told me you were sharing a room with someone else, right? You fell asleep when you came back last night. I thought about you last night...... In that case, it's your own initiative to bring you back. Jian Shang explained.
By the way, thinking that he was almost going to fall into the hands of that group of bastards last night, his heart began to beat wildly again, stroking his chest, and he felt a deep fear with a smile.
Seeing that the person on the bed had changed his face because of fear, Jian Shang hurriedly pretended to be inadvertently stepped forward and handed over the water, "Drink saliva." ”
After the girl's face calmed down a little, Jian Shang asked again, "Yanxiao, why are you there?" I mean, what are you investigating? ”
Yanxiao subconsciously wanted to touch the phone in her pocket, but found that she was empty, "Where is my phone?" ”
Jian Shang handed over the thing he was holding in his other hand, "When I came back, I found that your mobile phone was turned off and had already charged you." Also, with a smile, answer my questions. ”
Looking at the calm and serious expression of the man in front of him, Yan Xiao lowered his head and secretly stuck out his tongue, opened a video on his mobile phone, raised his hand and handed it to Jian Shang, "Uncle, take a look." ”
In the picture, a thin old man is struggling to say something, and in the coughing sound and intermittent narration from time to time, Jian Shang's face slowly changes.
"This ...... This is ......" looked up at Yan Xiao suddenly, and Jian Shang looked shocked.
Yan Xiao nodded, "That's right, uncle, it's the testimony of eyewitnesses when you and your friend were beaten." ”
"How did you have this?"
A slight smug look appeared on Yan Xiao's face, "At the beginning, I wondered why Xinyuan would let a mentally ill person be a security guard, so I asked our squad leader to transfer the case file of the year to get the information of the mentally ill person, and when I went to their house to look for him, I found out that it was actually his father who worked as a security guard in the chemical factory, and he was also a witness to the incident that year, so I ......"
Suddenly, he felt the increasingly hot gaze from Jian Shang, and he stopped embarrassedly as he spoke.
"So? So you went to this person and recorded a video like this? ”
Yanxiao nodded, and added in a low voice, "I went several times at the beginning, but he refused to see me......"
As he was talking, a handsome face suddenly came over, and Jian Shang looked intently at the little girl in front of him who began to blush again, "You investigate all this, put yourself in such a dangerous situation, smile, tell me, what are you for?" ”
It was so close that even the sound of the other party's breathing could be heard clearly, Yan Xiao only felt that his face was blushing as if it was about to burn at the moment, and his mouth became a little stumbling, "For ...... In order to...... Just listen to you...... Your experience, huh...... Think...... What to do for you...... It can make you a little happier. ”
Taking a deep breath, the Adam's apple rolled, and Jian Shang pulled his body back again, away from the face that looked so bright and moving at the moment.
"Well, Yanxiao, it's too dangerous, don't do anything more, protect yourself, you know?" After absent-mindedly instructing, Jian Shang hurriedly stood up and turned his head to leave the room.
Looking at the uncle's back as if he was running away, Yan Xiao held his face as red as a ripe apple and muttered in his heart, the atmosphere just now was so strange, why should I blush? Uncle looks weird......
Leaving his bedroom as if he was running away, Jian Shang only felt that his heartbeat was a little faster than usual. The faint aroma of porridge wafted out of the kitchen, thinking of the people in the bedroom, in a trance, Jian Shang suddenly felt a little at home.
As soon as he thought that he wanted to rush up and kiss that little mouth just now, Jian Shang felt incredible.
Damn, Jian Shang, you can't.
