Chapter III: Righteousness
The room was messy, and Li Qi's things were all gone. She actually took advantage of Xu Mo's absence to move out, without even informing him.
Xu Mo sighed, he had expected this result a long time ago, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly. took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to ask Li Qi, but the other party had already pulled his number into the blacklist and blocked it, obviously making up his mind to completely cut off him.
He didn't have many things, but as soon as Li Qi left, the whole room suddenly became empty. Then he looked at the bed, which was also empty, except for a sheet and a quilt.
His eyes shrank suddenly, "Looks like I need to buy a quilt." Otherwise, how can I survive this kind of weather and a quilt?"
But he reached out and touched his wallet, his expression became gloomy again, he has been a handyman for the past two years, although he has not earned much money, but he has spent less, and his savings are still there. It's just that as he became more and more down, Li Qi became more and more powerful, and all the money earned by the two of them was kept by her.
In Xu Mo's wallet, the rest only had a few dozen yuan in total. Sighing again, "It's better to find a part-time job as soon as possible and earn some money." Just tonight..."
He did not take off his clothes, but wrapped himself in a quilt, and then lay down. There was no heating in the room, and after a while, the cold gradually came up, and he couldn't help shivering in the bed.
The cold on his body, and his mind became clearer, and he drove the sleepiness out of his body, where could he sleep? He curled up and tucked the quilt tighter, but the wind seemed to blow out of the quilt, and carried all the heat out of the body, making the surroundings of his body like an ice cellar.
At this time, the limbs are cold, and only a little temperature is left in the chest. There was a slight 'salsa' sound outside the window, and the wind blew, and the wind hit the windowpane, and it began to snow again.
He thought of his own situation, and wanted to cry in his heart, but he tried his best to hold back, his mind was messy, and there was only one thought: Am I just going to freeze to death?
Then, out of nowhere, I had a belief and said to myself: No, I can't die, absolutely not.
After a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat up from the bed, moved his frozen stiff hands and feet, and looked out the window, where the snow was getting heavier and heavier, pressing against the branches, and when the wind blew them, the branches made a 'click' sound, as if they were about to break at any moment, and reached his ears.
He struggled to get out of bed, stood on the floor, and thought: I'm going to exercise, wait until I'm warm, and then go back to bed.
After more than ten minutes of strenuous exercise, the heat on my body gradually rose, and even fine beads of sweat came out. At this time, I felt warm, so I went back to bed and fell asleep again.
It didn't take long for the temperature to lose and he woke up in the haze. With a helpless sigh, he exercised again and fell asleep again.
At this time, an inexplicable thought suddenly flashed into my mind: if I can maintain the state of exercise when I am quiet, then it will be fine, at least I will not feel cold.
But this thought was only fleeting, and I didn't think deeply, and then I changed my mind: wait until tomorrow, I will borrow some money from my classmate, buy a quilt, and pay him back after earning money, that is, I can borrow a quilt from him.
This night was tossed and turned, but he never slept well. After exercising more than a dozen times, but after lying down, it didn't take long for the body heat to completely dissipate and wake up from the cold.
At dawn the next day, when the snow had not stopped, he got out of bed. After exercising all night, I was hungry and felt a little dizzy. I was going to have breakfast, but I glanced into my wallet, then I held back and walked to my classmate's residence hungry.
He has been poor for the past two years, and he has not made any friends, and in this city, except for Li Qi, there is only one college classmate.
The classmate's name is Wang Zhen, and his relationship with him was not very good when he was in college, but after graduation, because they were in the same city, they had more contact with each other.
That Wang Zhen lives nearby with his girlfriend, about two or three miles away from where he lives, he doesn't take the bus, he braves the wind and snow, walks with his legs open, and walks straight for more than ten minutes to reach the place.
It was a weekend, Wang Zhen didn't have to go to work, and it was snowing, so he didn't go out. Seeing him coming, he was quite surprised, invited him into the room, his girlfriend was also at home, glanced at Xu Mo, said hello, and didn't say anything.
The house rented by the two of them is not too big, it is in the format of a single apartment, and the house of more than 20 square meters is partitioned and divided into toilets and toilets.
There was also no heating in his house, but both of them were wearing thick down jackets, so they didn't feel cold.
Wang Zhen invited him to sit down in the room, and asked with a smile: "Why do you have the kung fu to come to me?" These days I am busy, and I was going to see you, but I didn't have the kung fu. By the way, how is Li Qi? Why didn't you come with you, are you okay lately?"
Xu Mo was silent for a long time, but he didn't know how to answer, he was going to open his mouth to borrow money from him, but in front of his girlfriend, he didn't know how to open his mouth, so he had to say a few vague words, and after a while, he said tentatively: "This day is changing, and suddenly it's cold." ”
"yes. Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Yesterday, my girlfriend complained about me, saying that there was no heating in the house, and I couldn't sleep in the cold." ”
His girlfriend turned her head and interjected, "How can I have...", glancing at Xu Mo, as if suddenly realizing something, did not continue.
Wang Zhen looked at Xu Mo's clothes, and said, "I wear so many clothes, and I still feel cold." Where is it like you, wearing such a little clothes, and still looking like nothing happened, it's really frost-resistant!" said and touched the clothes on Xu Mo's body, and then smiled: "If I wasn't familiar with you, I saw it suddenly, I thought it was a god from somewhere." But your ability to resist frost, I'm afraid you're really going to become an immortal. Ha Lu Ha!"
Xu Mo faintly felt that there was some sarcasm and ridicule in his words, and glanced at his face, his expression was serious, but he didn't look like it, he just thought too much about it, and he didn't care.
After a moment, he asked, "How is your work lately?"
Wang Zhen sighed and waved his hand, "Don't mention it, tired and tired, only a few hundred yuan in salary, I can't even afford to eat, a few days ago, the landlord collected water and electricity bills, and collected rent, but the water and electricity bills were paid, but the rent was not settled, and it is still owed, the landlord urged me to do it, I was going to find someone to borrow some, and I will pay it first." ”
After a pause, he continued: "It's like your Li Qi, who just changed jobs and was promoted, and in a few years, you can even pay the down payment for the house." Ha Lu Ha!"
Xu Mo's eyes suddenly dimmed, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face, Wang Zhen's words completely rejected his intention to borrow money, and swept around the room between the two, and it didn't look like he could borrow a quilt.
He had no intention of speaking, and after a while, he took his leave and left. Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Why don't you eat and leave?"
His girlfriend suddenly glanced at him, "I haven't bought groceries yet." ”
Wang Zhen said: "Then go buy it." ”
"Take the money. His girlfriend reached out to him.
Wang Zhen slapped his forehead violently, as if he suddenly realized, "I forgot, I just paid the water and electricity bill a few days ago, and I have no money." Then he turned to Xu Mo, "By the way, there were two steamed buns left yesterday, and I was going to have one with my girlfriend." Since you're here, I'll give you my steamed buns, anyway, I'm fat, and if I don't eat it for a day, it's nothing. ”
"No need. Xu Mo finally realized the problem, left a word, and walked out of the door without looking back.
Wang Zhen didn't send him off, and when he went out, he closed the door with a 'bang'.
Xu Mo walked downstairs in despair, and before he could go far, he heard the voices of Wang Zhen and his girlfriend coming out of the room, and first his girlfriend asked, "Hey, when did I complain to you that I couldn't sleep at night?"
Wang Zhen smiled: "Of course you didn't, I said this on purpose, just to deal with him." Then he snorted, "This person won't look for me if he has nothing to do, and he suddenly came here today, maybe he borrowed money, so just in case, I stopped his thoughts first." ”
His girlfriend grinned, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning." ”
Xu Mo's heart moved, and he stopped to listen.
I only heard Wang Zhen say again: "Who else will you divide if you borrow money, he doesn't even have a job, I lend him the money, what if I can't pay it back?"
His girlfriend continued: "Isn't there still that Li Qi?"
Wang Zhen said: "Li Qi is Li Qi, he is him, he is just his girlfriend, not his mother, why should he pay off his debts? A few days ago, Li Qi complained to me, saying that he wanted to break up with him, if it was in case of a breakup, which one should I go to?"
His girlfriend smiled: "If that person knows that you think like this, I'm afraid I'm going to hate you to death." ”
"Hate me?" Wang Zhen suddenly sneered and raised his voice, "I wish he hated me, Li Qi told me about him in private, he looked like a smart person, he turned out to be a fool, he couldn't even say a word of lies, he couldn't find a job for two years, and his life was ruined a long time ago." Maybe one day he will starve to death on the side of the road like a wild dog. The fewer such friends, the better, and preferably none at all. ”
"Shhh His girlfriend reminded him.
Wang Zhen sneered: "I just want him to hear it." Completely cut off the relationship, otherwise one day, you will be dragged down. The voice raised a few points again.
Xu Mo stood outside the door, hearing every word clearly, and couldn't help but clench his fists. In my impression, Wang Zhen's face that was always smiling felt indescribably hateful at this time.
The indescribable depression in his heart seemed to be about to explode at any time, and he wanted to yell and scream to vent his inner anguish, but after all, reason overcame impulse, his expression gradually calmed down, and he walked downstairs without saying a word, into the ice and snow.
Behind him, two neat rows of footprints were left in the snow, and the footprints were full of dead silence without a trace of life, just like his life at this time.
It's just that at this moment, who would have thought that it was in such a life full of pain and despair that he was cornered, but he gave birth to the first immortal in the world?
