Chapter 5 The Work of Catching Rats

As my mother got closer and closer, the resentment in her eyes was like substance, and all the scenery around her became faintly distorted and distorted, like a nightmare.

So, not everything is normal......

He remembered what Yang Jia had told him before, just because he had killed Jiang Cheng before, so the world had given him less than a day of tolerance, and he returned to a state full of malice?

So, what should I do now?

The heart started beating heavier and heavier, and the blood squeezed into the brain one by one.

"Is this Xiao Huan's home?"

But just when this panic and uneasiness were brewing, almost making Xiao Huan's panic attack again, suddenly a voice sounded behind him.

Xiao Huan turned around with some surprise, and saw Yang Jia wearing a white shirt and jeans, she was wearing a white baseball cap, carrying a box of bird's nest, and looked into the yard with a smile.

The mood suddenly relaxed, as if I saw a savior.

"This ......"

Before Xiao Huan could say anything, the "mother" who had just walked out of the yard was obviously a little stunned.

The resentment and resentment on her face quickly dissipated in a very short period of time, like a different face.

At first, he was a little confused, and then he said to Xiao with some surprise: "This kid is ......"

Before Xiao Huan could answer, he saw that Yang Jia had already passed by him, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Auntie, my name is Yang Jia, and I am Xiao Huan's high school classmate." ”

"Oops, hello hello ......"

Mom was obviously a little in a hurry, and hurriedly beckoned Yang Jia to come in: "Come and sit, child, look, Xiao Huan didn't tell me, this house is messy......"

"Auntie, you're welcome, I'll just drink water......"

“……”

Xiao Huan was almost a little sluggish, watching Yang Jia and her mother walk into the house, like a real old classmate who came to the house as a guest.

At this time, her mother also did not act like a demon at all, she warmly beckoned Yang Jia to sit down, and then went back to the house to change out of her work clothes, as if she had combed her hair, and after chatting a few words, she also warmly invited Yang Jia to stay for dinner.

"Mom Xiao, go grocery shopping now?"

"Yes, this non-child's classmate is here, I'll make something delicious for someone."

"Ouch, that's looking for Xiao Huan? The girls are so beautiful......"

"Yes, Xiao Huan's high school classmates, this kid, I don't know how to say hello when a female classmate comes to the house, and I don't even have any preparations."

“……”

Outside the yard in the distance, there was the sound of my mother greeting her neighbors, and Xiao Huan sat on the sofa, feeling a little absurd.

"What is she doing?"

“……”

"How can parents not care about their children's finding a partner?"

The smile on Yang Jia's face was a little mysterious, and she sat quietly on the sofa and said softly: "Especially, your friends, it doesn't seem to be much?" ”

Xiao Huan felt absurd: "But ......"

"As I said, they are usually the same as normal people, and they always play their role loyally before the malicious attack strikes."

Yang Jia looked at Xiao Huan with a smile and said, "And getting along with them is also the first lesson you have to learn, we must not only learn to find truth between each other, but also learn to adapt to the falsehood of this world." ”

"Otherwise, you'll be miserable."

"There was once one of ours who chose to self-destruct because he couldn't stand such falsehood, and I don't want you to follow his old path."

“……”

Xiao Huan was silent, he still couldn't understand this, but he wrote down this sentence first.

"Another ......"

Yang Jia suddenly seemed to be a little curious, and her eyes fell lightly on Xiao Huan: "I actually want to know, if I hadn't appeared in time just now, what would you do?" ”

"How?"

Xiao Huan thought of the scene of facing "Mom" alone at the gate of the courtyard just now, and quietly looked into Yang Jia's eyes.

After a long time, he whispered: "Of course I turned my head and ran away......

"Oh?"

Yang Jia raised her eyebrows and said, "But she's about to become a monster that devours you......"

"But after all, she has the appearance of a mother......"

Xiao Huan didn't know what Yang Jia was asking for, but he rubbed his face a little tiredly, and said, "What can I do besides running away?" ”

Yang Jia didn't answer, but her expression seemed to be much more relaxed.

……

……

Xiao Huan originally thought that when he saw Yang Jia again, he could quickly ask all the doubts in his heart.

But I didn't expect that when she came over this time, she really stayed at home for a meal like visiting an old classmate. Mom also made a table of sumptuous food, both braised pork and dry braised fish, and mysteriously took out a bottle of red wine that was said to be a high-end product from her cabinet, and Yang Jia also spoke with her politely and gently, patiently coping with her mother's side knocks on her grandparents and grandchildren......

I'm acting like an outsider.

However, Xiao Huan hadn't eaten all day, and he was indeed hungry, and seeing that Yang Jia could eat with confidence, he started unceremoniously.

In other words, in fact, I have been eating for so many years, if there is a problem, there will be a problem a long time ago, and I didn't eat this day, in fact, it is the sequelae of yesterday's fright.

After eating, Yang Jia chatted with her mother for a while, and then politely said that she wanted to go back and let Xiao Huan send her.

"Go."

Mom pointed outside, with a posture of wanting to say that you not only want to go, but it is best not to come back at night: "Send Xiao Yang home, it's not safe at night now." ”

In this regard, Yang Jia could only say a little embarrassed: "Just call me Jiajia." ”

……

……

Under the cold street lamp, Xiao Huan instinctively put the hood on his head, and pulled the shadow of Yang Jia to a very long time.

said with a deliberate smile: "Look, your mother really loves you very much, and besides, your family's conditions are quite good, and this house is very expensive." ”

"When are you still discussing house prices with me?"

Xiao Huan was a little helpless, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "I went out to watch it for a day today, and I want to verify whether this world is real......

"After all, I haven't been out for a long time......"

“……”

Yang Jia laughed when she heard this, and looked at Xiao Huan with good-looking eyes: "Still wondering if something is wrong with me?" ”

Xiao Huan was silent.

yes, it's more reasonable to be crazy than crazy in the world......

"Believe in yourself, lad."

Yang Jia looked at him frowning and contemplative, but couldn't help laughing, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Subconsciously doubting yourself is also a reasonable and common reaction. ”

"But when I show you 'him,' you won't think so."

"Him?"

Xiao raised his head violently: "Who is it?" ”

But Yang Jia just gently raised his index finger and pouted at his lips, signaling that he didn't need to ask more, and turned his head to look at a place.

Xiao Huan realized that he had been walking with Yang Jia for a long time, but he didn't see her car parked at the intersection, but was walking towards a subway station.

In the subway station, there is no longer a subway that will stop anymore, but there are still many homeless people, huddled in the corner.

There was a pungent smell of urine and a rancid smell from nowhere.

Xiao Huan has been here during the day, and he sighs that even in the afterlife, there are still so many people here who need to squeeze the subway to work, which is really an extremely terrifying thing.

But now that I followed Yang Jia over, I found that the lights here were dazzling and pale, and they flickered from time to time because of unstable voltage. Whenever the subway passes by quickly, the shadow reflected in the window always makes people feel that their body is being distorted or stretched.

The crowd around them was groggy, and everyone had a zombie-like sense of confusion and sluggishness.

Xiao Huan subconsciously followed Yang Jia, only to see her eyes sweeping over all kinds of people inside, as if she was enjoying some scenery.

They came to a stop beside some homeless man who was sleeping with his head covered.

Looking at the man with a pungent smell on his body, she smiled and said, "Hello." ”

After a while, the homeless man slowly removed the quilt covering his head and couldn't distinguish the color, only revealing a pair of eyes, staring blankly at Yang Jia's stunning face.

"Who are you?"

He asked in a low voice, his voice sharp, like that of a child.

"Someone who collects money to do things."

Yang Jia replied with a smile: "Someone gave me money before and asked me to do a job catching rats." ”

The person under the quilt was silent for a long time, and suddenly, he sat up suddenly, the dirty quilt on his body slipped off, and he looked at Yang Jia blankly: "Who is the mouse?" ”

Xiao Huan subconsciously took a step back, full of vigilance.

But it wasn't until this time that he saw clearly that the person under the quilt was not a monster, just a homeless man who could be seen everywhere, with a thin body, only a slightly bulging belly, slender limbs, and a gray-brown skin that had been lacking nutrients for many years.

The smile on Yang Jia's face became even stronger, as if he had carefully looked at the homeless man in front of him, and then nodded slightly.

She opened her satchel, took out a very cold firearm from it, stuffed it into Xiao Huan's hand, and said, "Kill him." ”

"Kill him?"

Feeling the cold touch of the firearm coming from the palm of his hand, Xiao Huan was really taken aback.

Yang Jia nodded lightly, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Xiao Huan turned his head to look at the homeless man who seemed to have heard their conversation and was shrinking his body into the corner of the wall in fear.

With an expression of disbelief on his face, he suddenly raised his gun, aimed it at the homeless man's chest, and pulled the trigger one after another.

"呯" "呯" "呯" "呯" "呯" "呯"

Yang Jia: "? ”
