Amorous Short Stories

Tao Yisu and the Indians sat on the ground and ate canned food. Tao Yisu had two meals a day, lunch and dinner.At lunch, Tao Yisu's canned food was full of soybeans and some mushrooms, not even a piece of minced meat. The soup smelled like tofu, but mixed with it, it was actually a bit meaty.Tao Yisu is very picky when eating now, and he will never waste food, not to mention licking the lids of the cans clean. He didn't look at it, and took another can. The Indian saw his movements and didn't say anything.

The two sat on the ground basking in the sun after eating for the first time. It just rained this morning and the weather was a bit cloudy, but the sun will come out soon.There are still five days until the next time I go out.Tao Yisu is thin now, but his hands and feet are long, and his arms are like spider's legs. His whole body is very tanned, and his skin is peeled off piece by piece, but these are minor injuries.

Tao Yisu would often look at the house on the west side, and there were always things he hadn't seen there.Once I saw a tall man holding a giant phone with the antenna extending half a meter.There is also a dog over there, guarding around the minefield in the west. It is dark and big, rarely barks, eats a lot, and only eats meat, but every time the Indians cook, the dog will be given a share.The relationship between Tao Yisu and the Indians has gradually become harmonious. When the well water does not interfere with the river water, when the mood is good, the Indians will point out Tao Yisu's confusion.

Tao Yisu was in a daze, watching the sun pass through the dense leaves above his head and spot mottled light on the ground.The Indian picked his teeth next to him, picked twice with a twig, pressed his tongue, and spit it out in one mouthful.

Tao Yisu turned his head and looked at the house on the west side for a while: "What's further west?"

The Indian was frowning and looking at his finger, which was covered with something shaved from his teeth. He was studying what it was, when he heard Tao Yisu's words, he turned his head and glanced to the west: "Minefield."

Tao Yisu continued to look at the house to the west: "Tsk, there are toilets, that's amazing."

The Indian smiled: "This place is a fart toilet, are you stupid?"

Tao Yisu frowned and looked at the room to the east: "Then what is that?"

Tao Yisu turned his head and met the Indian, who glanced over there and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, "That's not a toilet."

Tao Yisu's face became serious, he suddenly felt a little pain in his head, and had an extremely bad feeling: "What is that?"

The Indian said, "Do you remember that boy you were with?"

Tao Yisu froze on the spot for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped up and ran towards that side. The Indian looked at him behind him, and it took him a long time to realize what he wanted to do, and he quickly followed to pull Tao Yisu, and at the same time raised his hand vigilantly behind him. The gun sentry explained that nothing happened.

The Indian threw himself at Tao Yisu, Tao Yisu struggled forward, the Indian grabbed his feet tightly, dragged him to the ground again, climbed up to hold Tao Yisu's mouth, slapped him a few times, and clamped his neck Drag him into the room.

The Indian threw Tao Yisu back into the room and closed the door. His hand was bleeding profusely from Tao Yisu's bite.As soon as Tao Yisu fell to the ground, he got up and wanted to go outside. The Indian stopped him and shouted: "What are you doing? You will die!"

Tao Yisu rushed stubbornly as if he couldn't hear, and wrestled with the Indian until his body was bruised and swollen, and the Indian was also dying, spitting on the ground, bloodshot in his saliva.Seeing that he was bleeding, the Indian turned his head and wanted to punch Tao Yisu again, but he was afraid that he would fight back and the fight would be endless, so he stopped angrily.

Tao Yisu sat on the ground panting, lowered his head to look at the ground, and after a long time, he asked him, "What's going on?"

The Indian sighed: "That's all."

Tao Yisu looked up at him: "Why did you take him away at first, I thought he left. He said someone would pick him up..."

The Indian shook his head: "The mercenary was found by the intermediary, and the fat man was the employer. The fat man was also stupid. He asked the intermediary to say that he would do something wrong, but later he thought it was a big deal. Damn, he wanted to be "small" when he handed it over to the mercenary. This group of people is also pitiful. If it hadn’t been for the decline, as for taking this kind of work? Originally, at the beginning, it was said to imprison him for a few days, kill him, take a few photos and send them out. Later...you know, this place is too boring No, there is no woman, he is good-looking..."

Tao Yisu began to tremble: "How long?"

The Indian sniffed and took out a cigarette: "It's been a long time. We took him with us when we left."

Tao Yisu raised his head and stared at the Indian: "I'm going to see him."

The Indian smiled: "It's your turn? I can't fucking go..."

Tao Yisu ignored him, opened the door and sat on the steps, staring at the room in the distance for the whole afternoon.

As the sky gradually darkened, Tao Yisu grabbed his arm tightly every time someone entered, and the blood on his arm became deeper and deeper.

The Indian came over and kicked him: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Tao Yisu shook his head.

The Indian looked at him and squatted down: "The sentry will come to ask you later, if you want to see it, hide in a hidden place."

Tao Yisu got up and went back, walked around the house, walked into the bushes, and squatted under the cover of the trees to watch.

The Indian shrugged.

I don't know what time it is, but the cry of the toad became regular.There was finally no sign of anyone in the room over there.

Tao Yisu stood up, hunched over and ran over in small steps.

The door of that room was not locked, nor was the light turned on. Tao Yisu was trembling all over, standing at the door and not daring to move, afraid of what he might see.He lowered his head and saw scattered photos all over the floor. Tao Yisu picked them up, and Yan Wu in the photos was blindfolded, naked, bruised and shrunk on the ground.The second Zhang Yanwu knelt on the ground with his head on the ground, his hands were hung up, and he was still naked, and a man stepped on his back.The third Yan Wu had his hands tied behind his back, his face on the ground, and several men's feet were beside him.

Tao Yisu couldn't look any longer, clutching these photos tightly in his hand, he pushed the door to go in.

He was suddenly pulled down by the person behind him, fell down the steps, covered his mouth and hid in the dark.Tao Yisu smelled it and knew it was an Indian. He watched helplessly as a mercenary opened the door and walked in.Tao Yisu struggled vigorously, was picked up by the Indian, turned around and hit his head vigorously twice, before collapsing to the ground.The Indian looked at the fainted Tao Yisu, thinking that the child's head had been smashed many times, would there be any sequelae?Then he thought about not caring about his own affairs, and dragged people back.If he hadn't come out to go to the toilet and saw someone coming this way, everything would have been ruined by this kid.

When Tao Yisu woke up again, it was dawn.There is a pot at the Indian's feet, full of peanuts, but he is not peeling peanuts, he is flipping through the photos in his hand, raising his eyebrows and curling his mouth, looking interested.Tao Yisu had a splitting headache, he stood up on the ground, then remembered everything, wanted to get up and take back the photo from the Indian, but his eyes went dark and he fell down again.Then he hammered his head and stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

The Indian raised his eyebrows and handed it over.

Tao Yisu couldn't stand it anymore, so he flipped through the photos.

Only then did I find that there was a piece of writing on the back, in Chinese.

The Indian lowered his head to peel the peanuts. He didn't hear Tao Yisu's movement. He looked up at him. He was staring at the back of the photo.Tao Yisu stared at the back, his hands were shaking constantly, his face was still shocked, and suddenly he started to cry, which startled the Indian.

"What's wrong with you again?"

Tao Yisu's lips trembled: "This is my home address..."

The Indian blinked twice, processed the information, rolled his eyes twice, stretched out a hand and pointed to the roof, suddenly realized, and let out a long "Ah", "They are looking for you ah……"

Tao Yisu was speechless.

"No wonder you said 'my parents'..." The Indian curled his lips, smiled, and lowered his head to continue peeling peanuts: "Fate, it's amazing..."

Tao Yisu stood up awkwardly and was about to go outside.The Indian threw the peanuts into the basin and followed them: "Damn, it's fucking started again, it's endless..."

Tao Yisu couldn't go out, and the Indian guarded the door tightly: "What are you doing? Why are you crazy?"

Tao Yisu looked up at him: "Aren't they looking for me?"

The Indian sighed: "The money has been paid, the transaction is over, it doesn't matter who you turn to now, you should be sober."

Tao Yisu thought for a while, but still reached for the door: "Then I'll save him."

The Indian raised his head and sighed: "Are you a pig? How can you save them? They have guns, guns, you idiot! You can't wait for me if you have to die..." The Indian swallowed back the second half of the sentence.

Tao Yisu stared at the ground: "I must do something."

The Indian pressed his shoulder: "Yes, yes." Then he helped him walk back.

Tao Yisu's eyes were slack, and his brain started to move: "I must see him first, see his situation, and then make plans."

The Indian nodded perfunctorily: "It makes sense."

Tao Yisu also squatted in the bushes the next night, and this time the Indians also came over to let him out.The Indians were very angry and didn't know why they had to take such trouble.

When the surroundings fell into silence, Tao Yisu moved over, and the Indian followed behind reluctantly.

Tao Yisu held the handle, collected himself, and pushed the door open to enter. The Indian took a look inside and sat at the door to let the wind pass.

Tao Yisu turned on the flashlight, and it caught Yan Wu's pale face, which was staring blankly at him. Tao Yisu's hand shook, and the flashlight almost fell off.He sighed nervously, and wanted to put the flashlight on the cabinet next to him. When he looked at it, he saw a bottle on the cabinet, filled with water, and soaked two testicles.Tao Yisu was startled, closed his eyes and bit his lip, put the flashlight away, and turned to look at Yan Wu.

With Yan Wu's head lowered, Tao Yisu squatted down, looked at his face carefully, and called him softly, "Yan Wu? Yan Wu?"

Yan Wu looked up.

The lifeless eyes and lifeless face are like a piece of broken steel.

Yan Wu looked straight at Tao Yisu and remained silent.

Tao Yisu looked at Yan Wu and burst into tears, unable to say anything.Yan Wu was completely naked, with anklets on each of his feet, and was pulled obliquely upwards, where he could see and open the entrance at a glance.Yan Wu was leaning on the dilapidated sofa, his body was covered with bruises, one side of his face was swollen, the corners of his mouth were covered with blisters, his kneecaps were raised high, and the shape of his bones could be clearly grasped through the skin.

Tao Yisu turned his eyes away, bit his mouth tightly, and tried hard not to make a sound.

But Yan Wu spoke: "Tao Yisu..." The voice seemed to be pulled out, hoarse and lifeless.

Tao Yisu quickly raised his head to look at Yan Wu, the mud on his face was washed down by tears, he raised his hand and wiped it hastily, it wiped his whole face.

"You're not dead..."

Tao Yisu looked at Yan Wu seriously, and gritted his teeth: "I will definitely rescue you, you believe me, no matter what you do..."

Yan Wu didn't seem to be listening to him. He opened his eyes and talked to himself, as if in another world: "...my dad...is still waiting for me to report...my brother seems to be a very cold person with a temper Not good...my brother is a silly child, and he is still young...I am most worried about my sister, she is the most gentle and kind person in the world, she must be the saddest. "

Tao Yisu wanted to take his hand, but Yan Wu gently raised his hand to refuse.Tao Yisu froze with his hands in the air, then retracted them, clenched them into fists, pressed them on the ground, and knelt on the ground trying to get closer: "Don't worry, we can all go home..."

Yan Wu stared at Tao Yisu suddenly: "You said you want to help me?"

"Yes, I can." Although Tao Yisu had no plan in mind, his heart was full of impulsiveness.

"Then do me a favor." Yan Wu moved forward, "Kill them for me."

Tao Yisu froze in place, not knowing what to say, he blurted out to ask how to kill, but seeing Yan Wu's face, he couldn't even ask the question.

"I only ask you for this matter." Yan Wu spoke slowly, "I want them to die."

Tao Yisu knelt on the ground at a loss, not knowing how to react.

Yan Wu moved his arm, and Tao Yisu moved forward to help him, but Yan Wu took something off his neck and threw it on the ground: "Your things, return them to you."

Tao Yisu picked it up with trembling hands, Yan Wu looked at the top of his head, his tone was as cold as ice: "I will walk this road for you, you can avenge me."

Tao Yisu didn't dare to raise his head, Yan Wu knew everything.

Tao Yisu held his own jade, bent over and almost stuck to the ground.

The Indian at the door opened the door and called Tao Yisu in the crack: "The sentry is up, patrolling the east, we are going back."

Tao Yisu looked up at Yan Wu again, who turned his head away from him.

Tao Yisu stood up slowly, head drooping and shuffling towards the door, lost his mind like a ghost, and left the room.

Tao Yisu couldn't sleep. He has been struggling since that day, sitting on the ground chopping firewood, shaved his sharp head, and stabbed it hard on the ground, while the Indian looked at him.

"What did you say that day?"

Tao Yisu didn't respond.He looked at the cut firewood, wondering if it was possible to poison it?Can the Indians be deceived by poisoning?How to ensure that Yan Wu won't eat it?Those people didn't eat together, what about those who didn't eat? ...

The Indian simply stopped asking, since he wasn't really interested anyway.Left in three days.

On the day to go out, Tao Yisu set off with the Indian. Before leaving, the Indian argued with a mercenary for a while. I don’t know what happened. After getting on the road, the Indian started to swear, and the words kept repeating. Hour.

Tao Yisu walked and found that it was not the same way as last time, because the direction of the sun was wrong.He asked if the Indian had changed his way.The Indian grinned: "Yes, it's raining, and you can't go on that road last time. And this road is so complicated, you can't get out without me."

Indeed, Tao Yisu did not have the ability to memorize the road after walking it once. Hearing the Indian's complacent words, Tao Yisu stopped and locked his eyes on the Indian for a few seconds.The Indian realized that he was walking too fast, so he turned back immediately, gave Tao Yisu a push, and told him to go ahead and not try to play tricks.

It is also a two-day itinerary, and they will stay in a hotel at night.

Tao Yisu has maintained a high level of vigilance since he came out this time.Last time when the Indian communicated with the hotel owner, he was beaten so dizzy that he didn’t notice the boss at all. This time the boss chatted with the Indian for a while, using English instead of the local dialect. What else could he say? The mercenaries are here. I don't know what they are doing, so let them be careful.Tao Yisu originally thought that the boss was also from the Indian side, but now it looks like the people in the woods are from the side.

The two went upstairs, the Indian went in to take a shower and change clothes, Tao Yisu looked at the phone, fidgeting.

Tao Yisu waited until the meal was over before choosing to show his cards.

The Indians were not in the mood to pack the goods this time, and had been packing their backpacks without even looking at Tao Yisu.

Tao Yisu sat at the table: "Didn't you say you'd help me and leave?"

The Indian turned his head and looked at him: "Ah, you should call the police."

"I looked for it." Tao Yisu silently held the knife in his hand, "I just looked for it."

The Indian stopped his hands, went to the window to look down, turned his face to look at Tao Yisu: "Have you looked for it?"

Tao Yisu nodded: "Well, I called to report."

"Report?" The Indian was puzzled.

"Yes. The car rental company has contacts with those people in Palestine, and there are phone calls from the security office everywhere." Tao Yisu pointed to the leaflet pasted behind the door, "Your friend will be arrested, right? You may not be able to leave."

The Indian pretended to be calm: "It will be released soon. It's nothing serious. He can handle it well."

Tao Yisu nodded: "But we're going back tomorrow, and he won't be able to come out then."

The Indian rushed over, kicked the table aside, and reached out to grab Tao Yisu. Tao Yisu took out his knife and waved it wildly. The Indian was slashed twice. He took a step back with some fear, but he still had an expression of wanting to eat people: " Are you fucking crazy? Did I stop you from letting you run? You fucking run!"

Holding the knife, Tao Yisu was also very flustered: "I can't run, I have to save Yan Wu. You also said that we wouldn't be able to get out of that place without you. When you came out this time, did you think about how I would go back?"

"Who the hell cares about you! I don't care at all! You go to die or go back and ignore my shit! Whether you go back or not, go back to my shit!" The Indian was furious.

Tao Yisu held the knife firmly: "You can't go."

The Indian ignored him, stepped over to the phone, and called the friend who rented the car. The first few numbers failed, but finally got through. They talked in the local dialect, and the Indian smashed the receiver. Going back, he picked up the phone and smashed it against the wall, then turned around and stared at Yan Wu fiercely, took two steps, Tao Yisu took the knife and was ready to fight desperately.

The Indian stopped, looked at him, sighed long, and sat down on the bed.

The Indian sat on the bed with his head down, motionless. The atmosphere was stalemate for a while, and Tao Yisu never put down the knife in his hand.

The Indian stood up, went to the window and looked down: "You called the police and only told about the renter, not the mercenaries in the forest?"

Tao Yisu still held up the knife: "Yes, before it's too late, the food deliverer is here, don't let them know, and then you come out..."

The Indian turned to look at Tao Yisu: "Tell me what your plan is."

"Call the police, you take me there with the police."

The Indian sniffed: "What did you tell that boy that day?"

Tao Yisu slowly put down the knife, but he was full of vigilance: "He asked me to save him."

The Indian rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes, and said to himself: "Save him..."

The Indian was silent for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on Tao Yisu's knife: "You really want to kill me, don't you?"

Tao Yisu thought that he was worried about his whereabouts after rescuing Yan Wu, and immediately promised: "I will let you go after we are rescued."

"It's as if I'm afraid of you." The Indian smiled contemptuously, and then leaned in Tao Yisu's direction, "Doesn't that kid want revenge? Kill everyone?"

Tao Yisu was taken aback for a moment, he was guessed right and would not be sloppy.

The Indian understood his reaction and raised his hand: "I agree with his idea."

Tao Yisu was a little confused. The Indian approached him with sincere eyes: "Listen, this is not your country. I grew up here, and the police here don't do anything. They won't dare to go directly to such a vicious gangster. We need to call for support. Support cannot arrive in a day or two, but you and I have to go back tomorrow. If we don’t go back, the hotel owner will notify them. The forest can’t even draw a map. How can the police follow? The office is fully staffed and can be quickly recruited. The boss will find out about such a big movement. Even if everything is ready, we get there and they haven't left. We fight with them. How likely is that child to survive? East sentry As soon as it sounded, they ran to the west, they were going to bypass the minefield, would they still take him? They didn't take him, and based on what you've known them for so long, what would they do to him?"

It was the first time for Tao Yisu to hear such a long speech from an Indian, but he stumbled and seemed to make sense.

Seeing that Tao Yisu didn't say anything, the Indian insisted, "So, he's right, if we want to survive, we must kill them." Tao Yisu still didn't speak, his brows were furrowed, and the Indian patted him on the shoulder: "I know You don't want to kill people, the situation is compelling, there is no other way. For your friend, you have no choice." Tao Yisu began to waver.The Indian was more serious: "Don't worry, I have a solution."

Tao Yisu remained silent the entire time, neither agreeing nor objecting.The Indians were very patient, almost to the point of gentleness. They persuaded Tao Yisu to do something, to make suggestions, to think about the future, and the most important thing was a sentence. He looked at Tao Yisu: "At that time, you can go home."

Tao Yisu agreed.

It was almost dawn, they squinted for a few hours, and then got up immediately to go shopping. The Indians seemed to be very anxious, which was completely different from the leisure time last time.

In addition to buying some necessities normally, the Indians asked Yan Wu to buy the medicine of poisonous rice moth from several stores, especially the compressed version and solid form.

After they entered the woods, the Indian unpacked the solid newspaper, dumped the tins of biscuits and spices, and put them into the vacated tins by holding their noses.

After tidying up, the Indians threw the big bag on Tao Yisu's back, whistled and set off on the road, peeling peanuts and eating them as they walked.

Tao Yisu followed beside him, watching the peanut skins falling on the ground, and stopped suddenly.

The Indian noticed that he was not leaving, so he turned to look at him: "What are you looking for?"

Tao Yisu stared at the peanut skins on the ground, and looked up at the Indian: "It's not what you said."

"what?"

"As long as you control the innkeeper, he will not report. Let's go back first, we can mark along the road, and we can find it. Even if we go there, we don't have to shoot. What you said may not come true. You just don't want to I'm looking for the police!" Tao Yisu clenched his fists and glared at the Indian.

The Indian smiled. He leaned against the tree and looked at Tao Yisu: "Oh, I was discovered."

Tao Yisu almost shouted: "Why?!"

The Indian smiled even more, and spread his hands: "I escaped from prison, why do you say?"

Tao Yisu lost his temper and threw his bag on the ground, wanting to come up desperately, but before the bag was put down, the Indian kicked him over. Tao Yisu fell backwards, and the Indian squatted down to look at him, put away his smile, and said coldly: "You Don't bother, you can't run back now. Besides, now you have no leverage to threaten me, if you block my way again, I will kill you."

Tao Yisu looked at the road when he saw it. He was already two hours away from the main road, and he couldn't go back.

Tao Yisu was so angry and annoyed that he reached out and beat his head.

The Indian stood up, leaning against a tree and chewing peanuts while laughing: "Young people, it's normal to be unexpected and confused. After all, you are only a teenager. If you live long, learn slowly in the future."
