underground river

On Saturday night, Sinan went to bed early as usual, and after Chang Jian left the room, he got up, changed his clothes, and slipped out of the house.

The southern suburbs are still some distance away from Xinghai Street, so Sinan took a taxi to the Nanjiao market and got off, then walked to the unfinished building in the second district in the dark.

The unfinished building is actually not completely unfinished. It has almost been built, but I don’t know why the work stopped at the last moment.

Si Nan found a corner to hide.

He didn't intend to go head-to-head with Hei Pi, because he didn't know if the other party would bring someone over. The purpose of tonight was just to get to know what this guy named Hei Pi looked like?

In the dark corridor, the cold wind passed through from time to time.

Sinan pulled the zipper to the top, put it in his mouth, and waited quietly for eleven o'clock.

Time passed slowly, and Sinan took out his mobile phone to check the time again - 23:23.

Not right.

He leaned out from the corner.

Apart from the piles of construction waste and rubbish in the open space downstairs, there were no ghosts.

He thought that Hei Pi would bring someone here, but he never thought about the possibility that he would not come at all.

Being tricked.

Sinan spat out the zipper and went downstairs.

It was past twelve o'clock when I got home.

Si Nan went upstairs cautiously, returned to the room, and closed the door, only then did he relax the nerve that had been tense all along.

Not right.

According to the third child's description of Hei Pi, Hei Pi would not fail to attend his appointment.

What went wrong?

Fucheng in December has officially entered winter.

Si Nan entered the room with a chill in his body. The air conditioner in the room was fully turned on. He took off his coat and sat on the bed. He hesitated while picking up his phone, but still sent a text message to Chen Sen.

hospital.

"Your phone is ringing."

Guan Yan took out his cell phone while carrying his coat, and said, "Doctor, can you take a look at his brain again? See if any nerve in his brain is broken?"

Chen Sen was lying on the bed with his lower legs hanging, his left arm and chest were wrapped in thick bandages, he sneered reservedly and refused to comment.

The doctor ordered a few more words, and Guan Yan kept nodding while the recording was on.

After the doctor left, Chen Sen called him, "Where's my cell phone?"

Guan Yan handed it over with an "oh" sound: "Sinan asked if you were asleep?"

Chen Sen took the phone, checked the message, and made a call.

"Hey?"

"..."

"Getting ready for bed."

"..."

"Today? Play games with Guan Yan in an Internet cafe!"

"..."

"OK, good night."

"Tsk tsk! Look at your ability to lie!" Guan Yan said "bah", "Have you played games to make yourself look like this? Are you going to a meeting alone? Am I still your fucking brother?"

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, Chen Sen gave him a wink, Guan Yan reluctantly shut up.

Guan Yan's mother came in with a luggage bag in one hand and milk in the other. Guan Yan played the recording for her, and the woman couldn't help but hit Chen Sen's uninjured arm.

"Are you saying you committed a crime? If you don't stay at home during the holidays, you are nosy! Why do you join in the fun when people fight? It hurts like this..." Guan Yan's mother's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Chen Sen grew up with Guan Yan, considered her half-son, seeing Chen Sen's appearance felt distressed as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out of his heart.

"Auntie, don't cry!" Chen Sen wanted to get up and couldn't get up, so he could only keep apologizing, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, next time I won't mind my own business, really! I promise!"

Guan Yan sighed and stepped forward to comfort his mother: "Mom, don't cry, if you cry again, Xiao Mori will feel even more uncomfortable."

"Tell me about you guys! No one can worry all day long!" Guan Yan's mother wiped away her tears and asked again, "Aren't you going to tell your mother about this?"

"Stop talking, she's timid, and besides, she's busy taking care of my grandfather."

"Your mother is going to see her, and her heart aches to death." After speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Hey! Let me tell you, what happened to the people you met on this road who were injustice and drew swords to help? Did you come to the hospital?"

Chen Sen grumbled: "I don't know, I guess I should go home and sleep."

"What!" Guan Yan's mother raised her eyebrows, "How dare my son lie here with injuries all over his body, and that man won't even pay for the medical expenses, or even take a look?"

He took out his mobile phone again: "No! I have to call the police and let the police deal with it! It's too much! Is there any law in broad daylight?!"

Guan Yan hurriedly pressed her down: "I have already reported to the police, but the person ran away long ago, so I don't think there is any explanation for it."

"I can't ask for an explanation?! Then my son will be beaten for nothing?" He gave Guan Yan a vicious look, "You are also a loser! If he goes to fight, you don't say stop him, if you can't stop him, you have to follow him. A helper! See how this has been beaten?"

Guan Yan: "???"

Chen Sen couldn't help laughing out loud, and the wound on his chest hurt again.

"You're still laughing!" Guan Yan's mother sat down as if she had been wronged by the world, her cheeks frowning, "We are orphans and widows now, and we are no match for four hands. When your father comes back from a business trip, I will let you He should go to inquire about it, and find out which gang of bastards are so lawless, they dare to commit crimes in broad daylight!"

"All right, all right, I'll definitely accompany you to the door to challenge someone one-on-one, okay?" Guan Yan finally persuaded his mother to go home, and when he returned to the ward, Chen Sen looked at him, "You should come back, too." , I don’t need anyone to accompany me.”

Guan Yan yawned a lot, annoyed: "You think I want to accompany you? It's all for the face of our queen mother!" He snorted again, "Idiot!"

Chen Sen knew he was in the wrong, and he received this criticism with a rare belly.

Guan Yan asked again: "Aren't you going to tell Sinan about this?"

Chen Sen shook his head: "This matter should be over here."

Guan Yan was a little worried: "You can't hide this situation!"

Chen Sen: "It's a few days if I can hide it. When I get back to school, I will say that I was in a car accident."

"You are really willing to curse yourself!" Guan Yan rolled his eyes and went to sleep by himself.

On Sunday afternoon, Guan Yan was taken aback as soon as he entered the dormitory.

Si Nan sat at the desk, facing the door, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"You came so early?" Guan Yan patted his heart, looking at Si Nan with a particularly guilty conscience.

"My mother's dried meat, try it?" He handed over the bag in his hand.

Si Nan took it, opened it, threw a piece into his mouth, chewed it, it was delicious.

"Where's Chen Sen?"

"Oh, he has something to do in his hometown, so he asked for leave to go back to the countryside." Guan Yan took out the change of clothes and put them in the closet, squinted, and finally met Sinan's gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Guan Yan laughed dryly.

Si Nan nodded as if nothing had happened: "Did you come back early this morning?"

"Well, it is said that his grandpa is sick, and his mother asked him to take a few days off to go back and be with his grandpa."

Just at this time Xu Xu came in, also carrying big bags and small bags in his hands, Guan Yan hurriedly went to pick up the things and brought the topic over.

"What are you holding? It's so heavy!"

"My mother cooked bacon, let me bring you some to try." Xu Xu chuckled, "My father also secretly stuffed me with two bottles of plum wine." Looking around, "Where is Chen Sen?"

"My hometown has something to ask for leave to go home." Sinan said.

Guan Yan was sweating on his forehead: "Leave him alone, is this bacon cooked? Can I eat it directly?"

Xu Xu: "Yes!"

"I'll try it." Guan Yan picked up a piece of meat and fed it into his mouth, pretending to glance aside casually, Sinan went to the balcony to smoke.

On Friday night, Guan Yan sent the bone soup made by his mother to the hospital. After watching Chen Sen finish it, he left with his lunch box when Simon walked in.

Chen Sen didn't seem particularly surprised, and greeted him with a smile.

Si Nan silently walked to the side of the hospital bed and sat down.

Chen Sen looked at his frown that had been frowning since he entered the room, and sighed: "That idiot Guan Yan must have thought that he was hiding things well, right?"

Sinan twitched the corners of his mouth with a specious smile: "Yes!"

"I just didn't notice a car accident when I was walking, and I don't want you to worry about it?" Chen Sen said.

Si Nan still lowered his head and said nothing.

Chen Sen couldn't help himself.

"I'm really fine."

"Chen Sen."

"what?"

Si Nan looked up: "Don't take me for a fool."

Now it was his turn to be speechless.

"Sinan..."

"Made by black skin?"

"Listen to me..."

"He messed with me and ran after you, didn't he?"

Si Nan looked at him, but his gaze didn't fall on him.

"I found the third child and beat him up again." Sinan chuckled lightly, "I even asked him to ask Hei Pi out. I didn't expect to be tricked."

Chen Sen looked at him quietly.

There are some things that Sinan doesn't need to ask, and he doesn't need to say, everyone knows it well.

Si Nan rubbed his face, his eyes were a little red.

"I haven't slept well for a week."

Chen Sen smiled: "I can tell, the dark circles under my eyes are as heavy as a panda."

Si Nan also laughed along with him, and raised his hand to touch Chen Sen's right calf covered with plaster.

"Don't worry, it's not broken."

"Does it hurt?"

"pain."

"I'm in pain too." Sinan looked at him.

It was very quiet in the ward, there was no one else but the two of them.

The window was not closed properly, and the night wind gently blew in through the gap, stirring the gauze curtain.

Chen Sen stared at the black hair on the boy's head, his expression was a little indifferent, but his voice was soft and unbelievably soft.

He asked, "Sinan, are you crying?"

no answer.

Si Nan sat until the dawn broke before getting up to leave.

On the bed, Chen Sen fell asleep.

The face is quiet and gentle like a child.

Si Nan stood at the entrance of the hospital and lit a cigarette.

At this point in time, it is time for the city to wake up.

The sky was gloomy, and crowds gradually piled up at the entrance of the hospital, selling breakfast, fruit, and family members of patients who were in a hurry and looked sad.

Standing in it, he seemed to be disconnected from the whole world.

In addition to the surging anger in my heart, the things that have been flickering and flickering for a long time seem to gradually become clear.

The moment the desire broke through, Sinan exhaled viciously, snuffing out the cigarette butt and the sneaky thoughts in his heart.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Ding Hao's number.

Of course Ding Hao was still sleeping at this point, and his voice was full of displeasure from being woken up.

"it's me."

"Brother Nan?" Ding Hao woke up a bit, and there was a rustling noise from the microphone, mixed with a trace of female complaints. It seemed that he had changed places. After a while, Ding Hao's voice came again, "What's the matter?" ?”

"I remember you said that you have a cousin in Fucheng?"

"Yes, Li Xingkui, it's just my aunt's son, what's wrong?" Ding Hao asked strangely when a lighter came from the receiver, "Why are you asking about him?"

"Is your cousin still messing around in Fucheng?"

"I'm just messing around..." Ding Hao became more and more strange as he listened, "No, what do you want to do? What happened?"

"I want to ask him about someone."

"Who?"

"Black skin."
