District 9

The second night.

After Qin Yu met Damin and Ma Laoer in the prison, he returned home alone, planning to get some clothes and live with Lao Mao in the dormitory for a while.

As soon as he finished packing his things in the room, Qin Yu stood at the window and saw Lin Nianlei coming back. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the door and shouted: "Hey, Lin Hanhan, are you back?"

"Get out of here," Lin Nianlei turned around and cursed harshly: "You damn faggot."

"Haha, it's quite early to get off work today?"

"I finished my work and came back." When Lin Nianlei saw Qin Yu greeting her, she didn't go back to the room. Instead, she came over and asked, "Where is your lover? Are you separated?"

"He went back to his parents' house." Qin Yu didn't bother to explain, so he just made nonsense.

"Go back to your parents' home? According to my observation, shouldn't you be the one to be zero?"

"Are you done yet?" Qin Yu squinted and said, "How can a little girl observe such nonsense?"

"Haha, you're really right, you two are just bullshit."

"Dirty!" Qin Yu's face turned red after being teased by Lin Nianlei.

"Haha, I won't make trouble with you anymore." Lin Nianlei stretched her waist and asked with a bright smile: "Hey, big brother, I helped you, should you treat me to a meal?"

That night, the reason why the Ma family was able to find Yuan Hua's warehouse on Century Avenue was actually due to Lin Nianlei's work. She had had conflicts with Tiger before, but Qin Yu was able to resolve the situation. Qin Yu was able to give the Ma family reliable information precisely because of the photos Lin Nianlei took, so she was indeed a great help to Qin Yu.

"What do you want to eat?" Qin Yu asked.

"I want to eat Japanese food." Lin Nianlei responded carelessly.

Qin Yu was startled when he heard this: "Eat the Japanese food... I can't find any Japanese food in Songjiang. A plate of salmon is worth several months of my salary. It's a waste."

"Why are you scolding me again? Are you already familiar with me?"

"Shall I take you to eat something else?"

"what?"

"Let's go, you'll know when you get out." Qin Yu put down the water glass and picked up his luggage.

Lin Nianlei was a little curious, and asked with a slight frown: "Why do you take so many things, don't you live here anymore?"

"No, take refuge." Qin Yu didn't bother to explain, so he dragged Lin Nianlei out and shouted, "Let's go."

…

A pair of handsome men and beautiful women walked along the dilapidated streets for about twenty minutes before they arrived at an alley next to the superintendent.

Lin Nianlei breathed into her palms, her little face turned red from the cold, she looked up at the store in front of her and said, "This place doesn't even have a plaque, so you have the nerve to bring me here."

"It's about your heart, not your money."

"Fart," Lin Nianlei cursed harshly: "Little bitch!"

Qin Yu walked to the door with his luggage, stretched out his hand to lift the thick cotton door curtain, turned around and shouted: "Come in."

Zhu Wei led Qin Yu to this restaurant. It specializes in boiled river fish noodles, which is an authentic snack in Songjiang. Because there is a frozen river on the north side of Songjiang, winding for hundreds of miles, with no end in sight until it leaves the Ninth District. Some fishermen who are willing to work hard often make holes in the ice on the river surface and use nets and ropes to catch fish inside.

Although there are no living creatures in most areas of the world today, fortunately, the affected area in Songjiang is less and the environment is not as bad as outside the area. Otherwise, the Ninth Special Zone would not rebuild the city here.

This is the only dish and staple food in the Jiangyu Noodles restaurant. Not long after Qin Yu and Lin Nianlei sat down, the boss put a large iron pot on the table and used a charcoal pot to burn small pieces of wood to bake and keep warm. Because the cost of gas is too high, small restaurants simply cannot afford it.

Lin Nianlei wiped away her fever, lowered her head and glanced at the red pepper-sprinkled river fish and hand-rolled noodles in the big iron pot. Smelling the steaming aroma, she said with a smile: "It looks good."

"This pot costs nearly two hundred yuan." Qin Yu rolled his eyes and said, "It's not cheap. I'm bleeding."

"Okay, okay, I know you picked it, so I don't need to say anything." Lin Nianlei picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and chewed it with her small mouth: "Well, it's really delicious."

"Not only delicious, but also affordable." Qin Yu was so hungry that he put the noodles on a plate and wolfed them down.

"Why are you eating like a starving ghost and not afraid of burning your mouth?" Lin Nianlei frowned and muttered: "Wouldn't it be better to be more dignified?"

"I'm a gay, and I don't want to date you, so I'm just pretending to be stupid." Qin Yu said deliberately flirtatiously.

Lin Nianlei pursed her lips and smiled: "Do you like me? Otherwise, why would you help me beat that tiger that day?"

"I like how long your chest hair is, how long is it?"

"go away!"

"I'm a kind-hearted person, so I'm helping you." Qin Yu added against his will.

"Hehe." Lin Nianlei looked at Qin Yu and smiled: "Don't have any bad thoughts about me. I can live with you as sisters, and I can also teach you how to seduce your lover."

Qin Yu was too lazy to argue with Lin Nianlei. He looked up at her and asked, "There's something I'm curious about."

"what?"

"Does the person who kidnapped you have something to do with the Yuan family?" Qin Yu suddenly asked.

Lin Nianlei was stunned: "How do you know?"

"I guess, because later Yuan Ke suppressed your kidnapping case, and there were rumors in the department that the third child was scolded by Yuan Ke for disrupting the situation." Qin Yu responded truthfully.

"It was only later that I found out that Panasonic had something to do with them."

"It stands to reason that Yuan Hua is doing well enough, so why did he find someone to kidnap you? Is it just for a small amount of money?" Qin Yu couldn't help but ask.

When Lin Nianlei heard this, her pretty face hesitated.

"Forget it, just say it if you can't." When Qin Yu saw that the other party didn't want to talk, he immediately stopped the topic.

Lin Nianlei took a sip of water and responded after a long silence: "Actually, there is no need to hide it from you. Yuan Hua asked someone to kidnap me because my uncle was a senior executive in a large company in Fengbei. He asked my uncle to do something. My uncle He didn't agree, so he came up with this idea. Originally, he seemed to have planned to let Panasonic pretend to be a kidnapper to ask for money from my uncle, and then he would rescue me through a series of realistic acting skills... In this case, he wouldn't Can we get favors and achieve our goal?"

"Oh, that's right." Qin Yu nodded and asked, "But he asked your uncle to do something, so why did he tie you up? Does your uncle have no children?"

"Because I happen to be coming to Songjiang to work, and I grew up in my uncle's house, so I am no different from his children." Lin Nianlei responded with a smile: "My uncle's other children have a certain social status, I guess... Yuan Hua Don't dare to touch it, you can only pick on me, a soft persimmon."

"Ah, then I understand."

"Hey, don't talk about me, let's talk about you." Lin Nianlei took off her coat, looked at Qin Yu with a rosy face and asked, "Did you come to District 9 on your own? Where are your family members?"

When Qin Yu heard this question, he immediately frowned.

"What...what's wrong?" Lin Nianlei felt that Qin Yu was in something wrong, so she asked tentatively.

"I have no family. There were riots before the establishment of District 9, so I was... abandoned. Some people say that my parents are dead, while others say that they ran away alone, leading my brother..." Qin Yu looked at him. Dim: "Anyway, there are all kinds of theories. After so many years, I have almost forgotten them."

Lin Nianlei was stunned for a long time, and said with dull eyes: "I'm sorry, I thought..."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Qin Yu waved his hand.

After the words fell, the atmosphere between the two became a bit silent, and they both just started to eat their own food with their heads down.

About twenty minutes later, Qin Yu paid for the bill and walked out of the small restaurant with Lin Nianlei again.

It's cold outside, and there are scattered snowflakes falling.

Lin Nianlei was shivering from the cold, pouting her mouth and breathing into her hands.

"Are you women all sick? You wear so little on a day like this. Aren't you afraid of dying early?" Qin Yu rolled his eyes, lowered his head and took out a pair of very thick and old sheepskin gloves from his luggage bag: " Put it on."

Lin Nianlei reached out to take the thick gloves and turned to look at the tall and big Qin Yu: "You are quite attentive."

"Looking at words and flirting with girls are basic life skills." Qin Yu curled his lips and replied.

"Bah, you want to soak me with a pair of torn gloves, are you dreaming!" Lin Nianlei spat, put on the gloves happily and praised: "Oh, it's so warm."

Qin Yu said nothing and walked forward at a moderate pace.

Lin Nianlei put on her gloves and touched the icicles on the windowsills of various houses, and suddenly shouted: "What a fool."

"What for?" Qin Yu turned around.

"...Be happy. No one can change what has happened in the past, but we live in such an era and we must always believe that tomorrow will be beautiful." Lin Nianlei stood in the ice and snow alley and persuaded optimistically: "At least you have a beautiful woman walking down the road with you right now. Why are you dissatisfied?"

Qin Yu was stunned for a long time, then responded with a smile: "Thank you, beauty."

Under the dim light, the two looked at each other for a long time. Lin Nianlei seemed a little embarrassed, and walked forward quickly and said: "Look at the yarn, let's go, take me home."

"I'll take you back, but I can't give it away for free. Can there be any stories tonight?" Qin Yu followed behind and asked.

"Hold it up, or I'll call your lover..."

…

Deep in the dirt street.

Several young men who were eating with Old Man Ma were standing in front of a storefront and chatting in low voices.

In the distance, a white Russian man with a shaved head came staggering over with four young people.

"Is there a woman?" the White Russian man shouted while burping.

The young man on the roadside turned to look at each other: "How many of you are there?"

"Are you blind? You can't count?" The person next to the Belarusian man scolded him directly.

"Who are you scolding?"

"Bang!"

The White Russian man went up and punched the young man, who took three steps back and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it, you dare to do it!" The companion next to him helped the young man up and cursed with his eyes wide open: "Are you looking for trouble?"

The White Russian man put his hands in his mouth and whistled, then turned around and shouted: "People from the Ma family are going to beat me."

As soon as he finished speaking, thirty or forty people rushed out from the dark alley not far away, holding steel pipe machetes.

The premeditated friction will begin tonight.
