Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Follow-up to the Expedition to the Xing'an Mountains
Late at night in a certain city, it was past the middle of summer and the early autumn night, it seemed a little cold, the street had long been devoid of pedestrians, and the whole street was accompanied only by the dim light from the street lamps and the confetti and garbage scattered on the ground.
In the narrow and dark alleys that are invisible to the corner and never passed by pedestrians, sewage flows, excrement and garbage everywhere, rats and cockroaches and bed bugs are like a party, carnival and chase, this is their paradise.
In the depths of the alley, a slender and beautiful woman in her twenties was being put down in the corner by a man in a skull mask and a jacket, and the woman's stomach was bubbling with hot blood, staining her beautiful clothes red, flowing all over the ground, blending with the sewage on the ground, intertwining, forming a strange pattern.
Her body was still twitching erratically, and her survival instinct seemed to be still making a final struggle.
She was just in a hurry on the way home, so she came to this uninhabited alley for convenience, but she didn't expect to suffer this catastrophe and die here.
The masked man trembled and thrust the bloody dagger into the scabbard, and then took out a stainless steel dinner spoon from the leather bag behind his back, which was the spoon used at normal home.
There was some fear in his eyes, but he quickly became firm, and his face, hidden under the mask, became very hideous, and he slowly walked to the woman's corpse, stretched out the spoon in his hand, aimed it at the woman's eyes, and dug straight down.
Looking at the two fresh eyeballs in the glass bottle in his hand, the man seemed satisfied, picked up a stick-like object on the ground that was no longer recognizable, wrote two crooked letters on a relatively clean wall, and then disappeared into the alley exit.
In the living room, Cheng Jing was wearing a vest and big pants, occupying the entire sofa like an uncle, and Han Xue, who was dressed in pajamas, could only sit in the corner of the sofa, with the little white wolf lying at her feet.
This little white wolf came by itself, it is very magical, according to Xiaomi, when his father found it dying, he brought it back for treatment, but the injury did not heal and ran away.
Han Xue heard a knock at the door the night she went home, and when she came out, she found the little white wolf at the door.
At that time, it was still wearing gauze on its body, with a wooden plank nailed to its left foot, sitting on the cold ground at the door, looking at Han Xue with watery eyes, it was very pitiful.
Han Xue looked at the appearance of the little white wolf, and at that time, her compassion was overflowing, and she decided to take in the little white wolf regardless of whether she could raise it or not, as for the future, then I will talk about it later.
The little white wolf also seems to have an inexplicable affection for Han Xue, no matter what Han Xue asks the little white wolf to do, the little white wolf obediently does it, but sometimes it is willing to fall asleep if Han Xue holds it.
I originally wanted to give the little white wolf a mighty and domineering name, but I asked Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing came to a little tattered, and the little white wolf next to him was anxious when he heard it, lame, with his mouth open, and he was about to fight with Cheng Jing with a milky roar, Han Xue hurriedly picked it up, and after thinking about it for a long time, he named the little white wolf Xiaobai, and the little white wolf pretended to give up when he heard the name Han Xue gave it, as if he was putting a process mirror, and then looked at Cheng Jing with a fierce face in Han Xue's arms.
Han Xue skillfully peeled the apple in her hand, and after a while, the apple was finished, but Han Xue didn't bring it to her mouth, she just took it, and before she waited for a second, the apple in her hand was snatched away by Cheng Jing.
Han Xue seemed to have known that this would be the case, reached out and took out another one from the fruit basket on the coffee table, quietly peeled it, still didn't eat it after shaving, and handed it to the little white wolf at his feet, the little white wolf looked at the apple handed over by Han Xue, and his eyes were full of question marks......
The TV in front of him is broadcasting the news of the ability:
"According to our reporter, this is the third vicious homicide case that has occurred in the city recently, after the murderer killed the victim, this time he brutally gouged out the victim's eyes........"
After returning from the trip to Xing'anling, Han Xue was almost fine after only two days in the hospital, except for the abdominal wound that had not been removed, the abrasions in other places were no longer visible.
Han Xue woke up on the day she was sent to the hospital, she was very surprised and surprised that Cheng Jing, who was intact beside her, obviously saw that he was beaten out of human shape, but now he was standing in front of him, except for his face was a little pale, he couldn't see the injury at all.
Xiaomi's father told Han Xue Chengjing that he was an enemy in the mall, and the matter had been dealt with, so that they didn't have to worry about it anymore, he blamed himself for this matter, and if there was any need to put it forward, he would find a way to meet it to make up for the damage and fright caused to the two of them.
In fact, what Han Xue didn't know was that before she woke up, Cheng Jing found Xiaomi's father and asked him to take everything on him, including the death of the Taoist man, as for why, Cheng Jing didn't explain, Xiaomi's father is also old and good, and he knows that Cheng Jing has a secret, after all, he clearly saw Cheng Jing coming back from the dead that day, so he readily agreed.
Han Xue refused Xiaomi's father's compensation, who let her only have a good girlfriend from Xiaomi, as for Cheng Jing, she automatically made the decision for him.
Since she came back that time, she found that she seemed to have some inexplicable tacit understanding with the man in front of her, for example, she knew that the apple just now would be snatched by Cheng Jing, so she didn't eat it, waiting for Cheng Jing to grab it, and Han Xue knew that even if she took a bite, that villain would still grab it, so she wouldn't care if others ate it or not.
Han Xue didn't bother to say Cheng Jing anymore, he didn't change it, he just let him go, anyway, he told himself to stay by his side for a year, and the year was very fast, and the patience passed.
But since that incident, Han Xue's impression of Cheng Jing has changed a lot, after all, he also stood up for himself and Xiaomi, although it was useless, he was beaten so badly, it was Xiaomi's father who scared away the bad guys, so that the three of them were saved.
If Cheng Jing knew what she was thinking now, he would definitely despise her, he was not the second middle school boy, he spared his life more than anyone else, but there was no point in running away at that time, and he inexplicably didn't want Han Xue to be killed, so he could only fight hard.
The TV news broadcast continues:
"Due to the continuous homicide cases in this city, the provincial department attaches great importance to it, and will send a serious case team of experts to visit and guide the work in the near future, and I believe that the murderer will be arrested and brought to justice, and what awaits him will be the severe punishment of the law. During this period, the general public is requested to raise their awareness of personal prevention, quickly call the 100 police hotline in case of a situation, and try not to go out alone late at night, so as not to encounter...."
"Why is there a perverted murderer, it's terrible!" Han Xue watched the TV broadcast and realized that there was such a thing during their expedition, and they were still committing crimes, and then looked at Cheng Jing who was lying on the sofa, and suddenly found that it was not bad to have a man in the family, at least he had a sense of security, as for Xiaobai on the ground, it was still small, and when it grew up, see who dared to bully him.
The doorbell interrupted Han Xue's thoughts, Han Xue shook her head, thinking to herself that she was resigned to her fate? How could I have such a thought. Get up and walk over and open the door.
There is Xiaomi standing at the door, and today it is very strange that she is not wearing professional clothes, wearing light blue long sleeves and jeans, which makes her best friend look full of vitality.
Xiaomi entered the door and said hello to Cheng Jing lying on the sofa, Cheng Jing ignored it, Han Xue glared at Cheng Jing, and hurriedly asked her best friend to sit on the edge of the sofa.
Han Xue was very puzzled, since she came back from Xing'anling, Xiaomi was like a different person, and she was very polite to Cheng Jing when she met several times, which was not at all like her best friend's original personality.
Maybe it was because he saw Cheng Jing fighting with that bad guy desperately, and as a result, he was beaten into a pig's head, so he felt indebted in his heart, but there was no need for this. Han Xue explained to herself.
Han Xue simply made a dinner for the two of them, and she and Xiaomi were half full, and the rest was all rounded by Cheng Jing and Xiaobaibao.
Han Xue looked at the appearance of one person and one wolf, and suddenly felt that she was under a lot of pressure.
After eating, Mi stayed for a while and left, before leaving, she seemed to have something to say to Han Xue, but she seemed to care about Cheng Jing who was lying back on the sofa, and finally didn't say anything, and left silently, Han Xue silently remembered it in her heart, and decided that only she would ask when she was with Xiaomi.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Han Xue went out for a morning run, but I don't know why Cheng Jing had to follow today, and Han Xue was also afraid that Cheng Jing who stayed in the house would fight with Xiaobai, so she brought it.
As soon as he arrived at the guard booth in the community, a handsome young man with a height of about one meter eight and a security uniform saluted the two of them straightly, and then greeted them with a northeast accent:
"Hello eldest brother, good sister-in-law!"
Han Xue covered her forehead, didn't care about the young man, and walked straight out.
didn't take two steps, but Cheng Jing, who was silent behind him, said to the young man:
"Tell your uncle to get ready for chess, and he won't die today."
The young man listened to Cheng Jing's words, nodded and said:
"Okay big brother, I'll call my uncle."
The young man came to the community as a security guard during Han Xue's expedition for a few days, called Wang Feng, and later learned that he was a distant relative of Uncle Wang, who seemed to be dignified and a handsome guy.
Since the day he was discharged from the hospital, he saw Cheng Jing and Han Xue, and said that the eldest brother and sister-in-law were good, and now the young man seems to be smooth, and it is becoming more and more natural, Han Xue is too lazy to argue, and Cheng Jing seems to enjoy the compliment of the young man, a few days ago Cheng Jing knew that the young man was a relative of Uncle Wang, and he was even more involved with the pair of uncles and nephews.
The weather in the morning and evening of early autumn was already a little cold, Han Xue still felt a little cold in her coat, looking at Cheng Jing who was still wearing a vest and big pants behind her, she couldn't help but feel that it seemed that she should buy Cheng Jing two clothes for the current season, otherwise she would seem to be very stingy.
Cheng Jing is not without clothes, before the expedition, Han Xue also specially bought two sets of men's clothes for Cheng Jing, after all, everyone thinks that he and Cheng Jing are a couple, Han Xue can't explain it clearly and doesn't bother to justify, so if he wears it too shabby, he won't look good on his face.
"Can't you put on the new clothes I bought you earlier?"
In fact, Han Xue somewhat believed what Cheng Jing said at the beginning, after all, a person has worked hard for ten years, and if there is a good one, he must be reluctant to wear it, so he has to hide it.
didn't expect Cheng Jing to answer himself, this is the case, Cheng Jing didn't answer Han Xue, standing behind him and looking up at the sky.
Han Xue is also used to Cheng Jing like this, since he came back, Cheng Jing is still the same Cheng Jing, he used to be in a daze at anything anytime and anywhere, but now he is only looking at the sky, and he can see it for a day.
didn't know what he was thinking, Han Xue didn't bother about it, turned around and started her morning run.
