It was 10:30 a.m., and I was standing on the street of a small road on the outskirts of Shanghai, and there were no pedestrians on the road.

I had a knee injury in one of my legs, and I was a little limp when I walked, so I gritted my teeth and finally found a small inn around the corner of the street, which was like a guest house.

After entering the door, there is a lobby like a regular hotel, and there are seven or eight clocks hanging behind the counter, including Beijing time, London time, New York time, and Manila time, but most of the clocks are stopped, and at most only a small half is still running the watch, and the waiters are also pretending to be wearing uniforms, but they look wrinkled and dirty.

I opened a standard room by myself, after entering the room, the floor was laid on the ground, but greasy, I don't know how many days have not been mopped, the wall has also been pasted with wallpaper, but some places have fallen off, the bed sheet is not changed every day, the pillow looks a little yellow, there is no WIFI, there is no room service, although there is also a TV, but at most only two or three sets, only soap in the toilet, no shower gel, hot water for bathing is regularly supplied, after the hour there is only tap water.

However, the biggest advantage of this kind of shabby hotel is that the management is lax, when the room is opened, the waiter who was woken up by me from his sleep did not even look at my registration form, took it and threw it directly into the drawer, did not ask for my ID card, and then led us into the room with a bunch of keys.

I looked at this dirty room, I smiled, threw the bag to the side of the bed, and lay down on a bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking about what to do behind, by the way, Sister Hong called me back when I was safe, but I don't have a phone yet, go out first to buy a phone and get a card.

I sat up, and I felt a pain in my knee, hey, it looks like I still have to buy some medicine and gauze to take care of the wound, otherwise I will be in trouble if I get infected.

I got up and picked up my backpack and went out, I didn't dare to leave my backpack and money in this kind of hotel, after leaving the hotel I found a pharmacy not far away, went in and bought a roll of gauze, a bottle of alcohol, a pair of scissors, and some anti-inflammatory drugs, out of the pharmacy I began to look for a place to sell mobile phones, then I saw a stall on the street, and the stall also wrote on cardboard: film, agency mobile, telecommunications business.

I walked over and lowered the brim of my hat, crouched down, and asked in a low voice, "Can I get a calling card for you?" The kind that doesn't have to be done in your own name. "In my past experience, this kind of roadside stall can generally help you run some illegal business, because it is illegal in itself.

The little brother who set up the stall raised his head and glanced at me, and said quickly: "Yes, but it's expensive, two hundred yuan a card, and there are fifty yuan in it." After saying that, he continued to play his mobile game with his head down.

"Well, yes, get me one." I pulled out two hundred dollars and handed them to him.

The stall boy put down his mobile phone at this time, rummaged under the stall, and then took out a mobile phone card and said: "Mobile, this card can't be in arrears, and it will be shut down if it's in arrears." ”

"Got it." I picked up my phone card and got up and left.

Then I found a mobile phone store across the street and bought a 1,000-dollar mobile phone, because I didn't know how long I could use it in this situation, and I lost it in a few days, so I could make a cheap call.

After returning to the hotel, I first detoxified my swollen fingers, wiped some Yunnan Baiyao, and then wrapped it in gauze, then took off my pants again, and began to deal with the wound on my knee, I took out the scissors, carefully cut the tape wrapped on it, at this time the tissue I padd on the knee has been completely stuck with the blood wound, I took off the tissue little by little, and then took the gauze dipped in a little alcohol and gently wiped the wound, the stimulation of alcohol made me can't help but gasp in pain several times, after processing, I took out the medicine and carefully applied it to the wound, then cut the gauze and wrapped it layer by layer.

When it was all done, I got up and poured another glass of water, took a few anti-inflammatory pills, and then collapsed on the bed weakly, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep, I was so tired.

When I woke up, it was completely dark outside, I picked up my phone and took a look, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the old antique air conditioner in the room was still roaring, I sighed and sat up, I felt that my neck was a little sore, my fingers were already a little swollen, I moved a little, it didn't hurt so much to bend, and my knees felt much better.

I picked up my phone and thought about it, and dialed Sister Hong's number.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot"

After the phone rang three times, it was connected.

"Sister Hong, it's me." I said.

"Sister Hong has something to do now, it's me." It was Yong's voice on the other end of the phone.

"I—" I was about to say something, but Yong interrupted me and said, "You're safe now, aren't you?" ”

"Hmm... Well, it should be safe for now. I replied.

"Okay, I'll call someone to contact you later, and he'll arrange it for you then." Yong's voice was still so cold.

"Oh......."

By this time, Yong had already hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, the phone rang and I picked it up.

"You're Twilight Snow, aren't you?" The first person on the other end of the phone spoke was a man's voice, very deep and deep.

"Well, yes, did Ah Yong tell you to contact me?" I asked cautiously.

"Well, I know a little bit about the basket you poked, and I won't ask you where you are now, just tell you, this time tomorrow, you call me, and I will help you arrange a way out when the time comes." On the other end of the phone, the man spoke in a very indifferent tone, without any emotion, and just said to me dryly.

I didn't say anything, and the other party suddenly sneered, "What, don't believe me?" Since last night, your name has been registered all over the road, don't believe me, you can hang up".

"Okay." I sighed and said slowly, "Tomorrow night, I will call you again." ”

Then I hung up.

There was some confusion in my heart......

On the whole road, I'm registered? I smiled wryly and sat on the bed in a daze.

I still have some doubts in my heart, why did they run to the train station to block me so quickly when I was in Tianjin last night? Why did I get to where I am today?

Although Ah Yong has asked someone to arrange a way out for me, I don't think this will help me solve any problems, at most it will help me escape!

But how can this matter be solved?

Ah Yong is Sister Hong's subordinate, and Sister Hong is the big boss's subordinate...... So basically, I don't have to expect Sister Hong to help me solve this trouble.

The only immediate possibility is only one word, escape!

I felt irritated and simply went to the bathroom, then stripped naked and took a shower.

At this time, I found that I couldn't put out hot water, has it been time? But I didn't care, I stood under the shower, let the cold water wash over my body, and then suddenly laughed and cried.

From the beginning when I met Sister Hong, I came to Tianjin with Sister Hong, and everything now, is my choice correct?

After taking a shower, I walked naked to the mirror, then resolutely picked up the scissors and cut off the long shawl hair that I had kept until now, and cut it down my neck.

I looked at myself in the mirror and said firmly: Come on! Now that it's here, I'll face the rest of it, and I'll definitely live!
