Chapter 24: Kill Me, Critic!
The moment the sun fell, Kojima's face was as dark as ever, and there was a slight rustling in the grass.
Something was about to come out of it, it could be a wild cat, or it could be some kind of ferocious beast.
This made Long You, who turned out of Haiyan's house at night, extremely nervous, and his knuckles were slightly pale because of excessive force on his hands holding the wooden stick.
The sound came to an abrupt end, and two eyes lit up in the dark grass.
Long You swallowed quietly, held his breath, and stared intently at the tuft of grass.
The eyes are slowly expanding, but the pupils are contracting.
It's like the eyes of a wild cat.
But it wasn't the eyes of a wild cat, for those eyes stood up in the grass.
"It's you!"
Two deliberately suppressed exclamations rang out almost simultaneously.
Long You looked at Ren Cai who came out of the grass, and said with surprise and joy, "Why did you come here?" Could it be that you're looking for me? ”
Ren Cai was stunned for a moment, quickly threw away the stone in his hand, blinked his eyes and said, "That's right, I'm here to find you, look at you go to Jingjing's house to return a wine bottle for half a day and don't come back, I was very worried, so I came out to look for you, but because I was in too much of a hurry, I left one ear at home, and the process of looking for it was a little bumpy, so now I followed your heartbeat to find here......"
The dragon said with a strange expression, "Can you hear my heartbeat?" ”
Ren Cai solemnly pointed to his intact right ear and said nonsense, "When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you...... I lost my left ear, and my hearing shifted to my right ear, and the two were superimposed, so my right ear was very powerful in hearing and could tell who it was, where it was, and how far away it was from me by the sound of my heartbeat. ”
"Niu Pi, you actually know how to listen to the legendary voice......" Long You sighed twice, suddenly thought of something, immediately pulled Ren Cai's arm, and said softly while walking towards the depths of the dense forest, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back to the bad guy village first!" ”
Ren Cai shook off Long Yi's hand suddenly, shook his head and said, "I can't leave now, I'm here, I have to find my ears anyway...... Brother, you don't want me to die without a body, do you? ”
Long You turned his head to look at the Haiyan family, which had no light, and then looked at the path that led to the bad guy village and was sprinkled with starlight, hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I ate your wine, even if we are friends, there is a way to steal, and it is the morality of the rivers and lakes to go to the soup for the sake of friends, and to stick a knife in both ribs...... Then I'll help you go one more time, take out the ear that grows on the wall, and let's go back and continue drinking and eating meat!" ”
Ren Cai waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, of course you have to take your ears back!" Moreover, you don't know if the ear matches mine, or if it is more appropriate for me to inspect the goods myself......" He looked sideways at the direction of the petrel's house that Long was staring at on the right, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "That yard is the home of the seagull you said, right?" ”
Long You was stunned for a moment and corrected, "It's Haiyan...... It's not a seagull, although it's all birds, but one is black and the other is white, and they can't be confused. The petrel I'm talking about is not a bird, it's a pretty girl. ”
Ren Cai shook his head impatiently, "I don't want any pretty bird girl, I just want ears...... It doesn't matter what kind of bird it is, as long as it doesn't hinder Lao Tzu from retrieving his ears......" moved his neck a few times, strode towards Haiyan's house, and said coldly, "Brother, you wait here for a while, I'll go and go back, and it will be done in a few minutes!" ”
Long You saw Ren Cai's menacing appearance, remembered Haiyan's gentleness towards him, worried that Ren Cai and Haiyan's family would have a conflict, and would accidentally injure Haiyan, and thought of the mysterious and ruthless Lao Wang next door, and was also worried that if Ren Cai went too far, as soon as Lao Wang next door made a move, he would always leave Ren Cai in that courtyard, and immediately stepped forward quickly, stopped Ren Cai, pursed his lips and said, "Brother Ren, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry about it first...... The art of war is cloudy, plan and then act. ”
Ren Cai frowned, patted the handcuffs hanging from his waist, "What is there to plan, just go in and say that I want to take my ears back, if any of them don't cooperate, just put it on and finish it!" ”
"It's too rude, and it's stupid...... Long You deliberately lowered his voice to dissuade, "Think about it, there are a total of four people living in there, even if that ghostly child doesn't count, there are still three adults, but you only have a pair of handcuffs, which is very disadvantageous...... Why don't you do this, I'll help you get rid of the two of you first, and you'll be left with an old man, a little child, and you should be able to take that ear very easily!" ”
Ren Cai touched his chin and said, "Of course, it's best not to have a confrontation head-on, after all, I'm also a pacifist...... But wouldn't it be too much trouble for you, and if something happens to you, I'm sorry......"
"You and I are colleagues who are fighting for a common cause, what trouble is not troublesome...... Long You smiled casually, "Don't worry, I am very experienced in dealing with this kind of scene, don't forget what I do, can they be more difficult to deal with than the police and hooligans?" ”
Ren Cai pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Your two-faced and three-knife skills are indeed not weak, and your eloquence is also very good, you can make Zhao Gang's tendon mallet dizzy, and it is naturally easy to deal with the people of the Good People Village...... Then there will be Brother Lao, when I go back, I will treat you to a big meal, take out my bottle of Coke that I have treasured for thirteen years, and let's have two drinks! ”
The right side of the dragon's face twitched, and said politely, "That's too wasteful, let's still drink that bottle of Black Star Erguotou is more low-key......" stretched his waist, left a branch, turned around and walked to the door of Haiyan's house, poked the door lock with a branch three or two, and waved his hand at Ren Cai, "You hide it first, and then touch it after I lure people away, remember clearly, it's the room facing the crooked neck tree, don't go wrong." ”
Ren Cai nodded solemnly, made an OK gesture, and retreated lightly into the grass.
Long You glanced at the grass where Ren Cai was hiding, took a deep breath, slammed open the courtyard door, and swaggered into Haiyan's house.
The originally dark courtyard suddenly lit up with a dim light.
Haiyan walked out of a wooden house with her clothes draped and the dim lantern, rubbed her eyes, looked at Long You standing in the middle of the courtyard, and said curiously, "Brother Sima Bei, what are you doing standing in the courtyard, who doesn't care?" ”
Long You coughed lightly, pointed to the starry sky, and said with a slight smile, "The stars are shining tonight, and you can sleep in bed so early, won't you live up to this beautiful scenery?" Miss Haiyan, I know that there is a place where the stars are especially beautiful now...... Would you like to come with me to enjoy it? ”
Haiyan was slightly stunned, and then two blush flew up on her cheeks, and she said shyly, "Just the two of us?" ”
Long You blinked lightly and said, "Of course it's just the two of us...... Could it be that you are a little inconvenient today? ”
Haiyan lowered her head, pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Convenient!" I just had a bowl of ice powder tonight and drank a glass of chilled juice......"
Long You didn't understand why Haiyan would pull on the ice powder and juice again, smashed his mouth, squinted at Lao Wang's room next door, and said softly, "It's convenient, you go to the forest outside and wait for me for a while, in order not to let anyone disturb us to enjoy the stars, this place must not be too quiet, I will make a fuss first, and I will come to you immediately!" ”
Haiyan asked in a low voice as she got dressed, "Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be sneaky, why are you still making trouble?" ”
Long You chuckled, "It's just to go against the mold, so that your father and brother won't think of us going to see the stars, this is called Ming Xiu Plank Road, Darkness Chen Cang...... If you don't care about this, I'm sure I won't hurt you, just do what I say. ”
Haiyan sighed as if she didn't understand, glanced at Long You with a red face, and slowly walked out of the courtyard door with a horse lantern.
Long You waited until Haiyan's back completely disappeared from the courtyard gate, then breathed a long sigh of relief, tried his best to let his heartbeat be calmer, and leisurely walked to the door of Lao Wang's room next door, bent his index finger with his right hand, and gently knocked on the door a few times.
"Who?"
A middle-aged man's voice floated from inside the room, and the voice condensed into a short, powerful word.
Long You didn't respond, but just slapped his right hand on the door panel a few more times.
"Who!"
The wooden house suddenly lit up, and there was a slight sound of groping.
Long Right withdrew his right hand, straightened the clothes on his body, hugged his arms, and waited quietly by the door.
There was a creak, and the door of the wooden house slowly opened.
A middle-aged man with a gloomy face and a stubble chin full of stubble walked out, staring at Long Youdao with a cold gaze, "You knocked on the door just now?" ”
Long You pursed his mouth and said with his nostrils facing the sky, "Do you see anyone else here?" Don't talk this nonsense, you're the king next door, right? ”
"Something?" Lao Wang's eyes were half-squinted, and the frost on his face became a little thicker.
Long You unceremoniously pushed Lao Wang away, stepped in, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teapot and filled himself with a cup, and said lightly, "I don't like to stand outside the door and talk." ”
A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the old king next door, he snorted lightly, and clenched the latch tightly with both hands, ready to close the door.
Seeing this, Long You hurriedly stopped, "What are you doing when the door is closed at night...... Ming people don't say dark words, and the door is closed, how can we still say some bright words? ”
Lao Wang glanced at Long You deeply, let go of the hand on the door latch, slowly retreated into the house, sat opposite Long You, also filled a cup of tea, sipped it carefully, and said unhurriedly, "I know that you are the outsider who was picked up by the starfish...... Although we are not indigenous to the island, I don't think there is anything to talk about between you and me. ”
"Why not," Long righted his head to look at Lao Wang, and said meaningfully, "We actually have a lot of common topics, such as the young man who broke into the courtyard yesterday, to tell you the truth, I saw them all!" ”
Lao Wang pinched the teacup and said in a cold tone, "What have you seen?" ”
Long You glanced at the two shotguns hanging on the wall, and pretended to be calm, "I saw a lot of things, such as that shotgun...... Are you trying to kill me now? ”
Lao Wang continued to lick the tea in the cup, his brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", shook his head and sighed, "Sometimes what your eyes see is not necessarily real, and I ...... There is no idea of killing people now. ”
Long You looked at Lao Wang with some surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you what you did?" ”
"Don't be afraid."
"Aren't you afraid that the bad things you did yourself will be exposed and kicked out of the Good People Village?"
"Don't be afraid."
"Aren't you afraid that they will want you to pay for your sins?"
"Don't be afraid."
"Impossible!" Long You's face was ugly, "No one is not afraid of death, you must be afraid!" ”
Lao Wang shrugged his shoulders, sipped the tea comfortably, and said calmly, "It doesn't matter, believe it or not, I'm really not afraid of ......"
Long You suddenly felt that he had punched in the air, and many of his previous preparations were in vain, his eyes rolled, and he spat hard at the teacup in Lao Wang's hand, baring his back molars and said, "You must be afraid, you must want to kill people...... Even if you didn't want to, you should think about it now. Come! Don't suppress yourself, come and kill me, critic! ”
