Chapter 1 Licking the Dog Must Die
The pouring rain has made the entire city's flood prevention and drainage system almost fail, and the city is full of stagnant water, near the Wukong Bridge, it is said that the stagnant water has reached the waist. On this side of Jiangzhu Road, although the water is not as deep, it also reaches the calf.
In this weather, if it's okay, it's better to stay at home. Ji Feng, in fact, he doesn't want to come out, isn't it fragrant to eat chicken at home, why should he go out and suffer this crime. However, this was Pang Chufeng's order, and Ji Feng didn't dare to disobey.
Pang Chufeng is Ji Feng's childhood sweetheart, and the two have been in the same class from kindergarten to junior high school, which can be regarded as some kind of rare fate. Although Ji Feng has a lot of thoughts about Pang Chufeng, he actually understands in his heart that Pang Chufeng can't look down on him.
Pang Chufeng, born small and exquisite, looks very beautiful, her academic performance is also very good, not surprisingly, half a year later, she will be admitted to a key high school. And Ji Feng is mediocre in appearance, and even if his academic performance is not at the bottom of the class, he is only ranked at the bottom of the class.
The two have known each other for almost ten years, Pang Chufeng is stingy, domineering, and unreasonable, but even so, Ji Feng is still accommodating to her everywhere and maintaining the friendship between the two. Pang Chufeng likes Zhang Tianning in the class, and Ji Feng is not unaware, but as a licking dog, this is exactly what Ji Feng is sad about.
Ji Feng didn't want to send an umbrella to his rival in this kind of ghost weather, but Pang Chufeng called, and he still agreed to her.
The wind and rain were heavy, the wind seemed to be ridiculing, the rain seemed to be mocking, Ji Feng himself couldn't understand why he would make a ghost and take on such a humiliating errand.
Zhang Tianning and Ji Feng were in the same class, but the two of them didn't say a few words. Of course, this is mainly because Zhang Tianning looks down on Ji Feng and disdains him.
Zhang Tianning, with a good family background and good academic performance, he is tall and handsome, healthy, sunny, and properly rich and handsome, no wonder Pang Chufeng likes him.
This damn Zhang Tianning, what is he doing when he goes to the library on Sunday, and when he goes out on a rainy day, shouldn't he prepare his own rain gear?
Ji Feng was indignant in his heart, but as a licking dog, he still did not go against Pang Chufeng's will, wearing a raincoat, holding an umbrella, wading through the knee-high water, and walking towards the city library located on Yuanlin Road.
A fast-moving car, coming fast from behind. Ji Feng only cared about cursing Zhang Tianning, and when he realized the car, it was too late to react, and in an instant, the muddy water splashed by the car splashed Ji Feng's body.
Ji Feng was already in a bad mood, but this time, his mood was even worse.
Ji Feng couldn't help but scold, this was his conditioned reflex. Isn't a person who drives a car so unsocially virtuous just begging for scolding? It's just that I didn't expect that the scolded car driver actually drove the car backwards and chased after him.
It is obvious that the person who is scolded is not very good-tempered, and most of them have angry road disorder. Ji Feng was stunned in seconds, and he ran away, and in a hurry, the soles of his feet slipped, and the whole person fell into the water.
probably saw that Ji Feng was too embarrassed, and the driver of the car, so he didn't continue to chase and kill, but just scared Ji Feng through the car window, and then walked away.
Only Ji Feng was left, standing alone in the wet rain, messy......
At one point, Ji Feng wanted to turn back, but when he thought of Pang Chufeng's explanation, he lost his temper again.
Ji Feng avoided the main road, took the path, and continued to walk towards the city library.
Ji Feng's mood was terrible. Fang Cai's accident, is it a wake-up call from God? Isn't it a mistake to fall in love with someone you shouldn't love, insist on doing what you shouldn't do, and do it yourself?
went down the cross slope and folded into Ping'an Fang, the water here was also very deep, and it had already exceeded Ji Feng's calf. This is the old town, which is relatively closed, and there are no cars passing through, and there are no pedestrians on the road.
Wading through the knee-high water, after walking for a while, Ji Feng met a pedestrian. This is an old man with white hair and an old-fashioned tung oil umbrella.
Originally, the road led to the sky, each went to one side, Ji Feng would not care about the other party, but unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, he saw that the old man's body staggered, and he fell into the stagnant water all of a sudden.
The old man tried to get up from the water, but he didn't succeed, and I don't know if it was, because when he fell just now, he broke his bones.
"Help!" The old man asked Ji Feng for help.
Ji Feng, who was originally angry, saw someone falling, and his mood, somehow, was a lot better. It turns out that today, it's not just your own bad luck.
The water here is very deep, and the old man fell on his back in the water, which is actually very dangerous. Ji Feng hurriedly took a few steps forward, wanting to help him up. Suddenly, Ji Feng remembered some news that he was blackmailed by someone while supporting the old man, and he stopped his steps all of a sudden.
Ji Jie has warned Ji Feng more than once that when this kind of thing happens, don't be reckless. In this world, there are too many bad old people, more things are better than less things, it is none of their business, hang high.
I am already unlucky enough, if I am falsely accused again and affect my family, it will really be a hundred deaths, Ji Feng can't help but think like this.
Only seven or eight meters away from the old man, Ji Feng stopped abruptly.
Seeing the old man struggling in the water, Ji Feng was also struggling in his heart.
At this time, there is no one but himself, and he can't even find a single witness, so it is difficult to get rid of responsibility. To save or not to save, to help or not to help, this is really a difficult choice.
In the end, Ji Feng still defeated his impulse with reason, and he ran away timidly.
Rushing out of Ping'an Fang in one breath, Ji Feng was shocked, and the picture of the old man falling and falling into the water flashed in front of Ji Feng's eyes from time to time.
Seeing death and not saving it, it is against Ji Feng's conscience, he is still very sad, he is at this level.
In Fangcai, he did not cry out for help, nor did he take any action to help, which made him feel heavy with guilt. He was very worried that his inaction would indirectly cause the death of the old man.
It's almost time to get to the cultural square, Ji Feng finally couldn't help it, and turned back again.
There are still no pedestrians in Ping'an Square, but the old man who fell into the water earlier has disappeared at this time.
Things are weird, which makes Ji Feng's heart beat a drum.
It was only a few minutes before and after, and such a big living person suddenly disappeared in front of him, no matter how he thought about it, it was a little creepy.
When I came to the place where the old man fell, fifty or sixty centimeters of stagnant water, although it was turbid, a big living person fell into the water, and it should still be able to be seen. Ji Feng clearly remembered that the old man had just fallen here, but now, there was no one here. Could it be that in the four or five minutes that he had just run away, the old man got up from the water and left on his own?
When Ji Feng was wondering, his calf was suddenly grabbed, and the old man who disappeared came out of the turbid water.
This terrifying way of appearance scared Ji Feng so much that he was about to pee.
The old man leaned out of the stagnant water like a vine, he dragged Ji Feng to death, and gradually stood up from the stagnant water.
Looking at the trembling and swaying old man, Ji Feng subconsciously stretched out his hand and held him up.
"It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, I almost died, I didn't expect you to have a good conscience, and you can turn back, otherwise my old bones will be confessed here." The old man spoke.
Looking at this, as if he was coming out of the water, an old man like a water ghost, Ji Feng stammered: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry......"
This is an old man, an old man with a simple appearance, this kind of old man is the most dangerous, Ji Feng's brain, and the alarm is heard frequently. He didn't know how to face the old man in front of him, and he couldn't speak.
I shouldn't be deceived by him, right? Ji Feng didn't have any score in his heart. Ji Jie's advice resurfaced......
"You, you, no, it doesn't matter, does it?" After a while, Ji Feng stammered and asked.
"I'm fine, thank you, good Samaritan, but can you help me get my umbrella out of the water?" The old man pleaded with Ji Feng.
As long as he is not slandered, Ji Feng is still very willing to help others, Ji Feng hurriedly leaned down and went to help the old man find an umbrella.
Ji Feng's hand reached into the turbid water, touched around, and after a while, he touched a plastic bag, there seemed to be something in the plastic bag, maybe this was the old man's belongings, Ji Feng hurriedly handed the plastic bag to the old man.
"It's not mine, I want you to help me find it, it's a tung oil umbrella." The old man reminded Ji Fengdao.
Ji Feng let out an 'oh' and continued to grope in the water, and soon, he touched the old man's tung oil umbrella in the water.
"The prodigal son does not change his money, little guy, it seems that your heart is not bad, thank you for saving me, I know, you are afraid that I will lie to you, don't worry, young man, you are my savior, how can I take revenge and harm you." I don't need your support to send each other, let's see you again. The old man took the umbrella and said to Ji Feng meaningfully.
Looking at the old man and the slowly departing figure, Ji Feng passed for a while, and then he came to his senses.
It was also at this time that Ji Feng suddenly found that the wind had stopped, the rain had stopped, and it was still pouring heavily before, but the weather had changed for the better when he rescued the old man.
What is this called? I was muddy, dirty, angry and frightened along the way, and worked hard to come here, and this is only ten minutes away from the city library, but I didn't expect the rain to stop at this time.
Looking at the dark clouds that gradually dissipated overhead, and the small piece of blue sky that he vaguely saw, Ji Feng had a feeling that he was being put on a table by God.
Originally, Ji Feng didn't want to see Zhang Tianning, but the sky was gradually clearing, and he now had a reason not to see him. Ji Feng sighed, turned around, and walked back.
Previously, the plastic bag fished out of the water, the old man said that it was not his thing, and now this plastic bag is in Ji Feng's hands.
When I opened the plastic bag, there was a booklet the size of a small book.
On the cover of the booklet, there are two ghostly characters, which Ji Feng vaguely recognizes, which are the words 'letter book'.
