Natural enemies

During the rainy season, the weather in Shanghai is hot and humid with continuous rain, which is not very comfortable even for Gu Yi.After all, the global climate is changing now, and the power of the rainy season is far from what it was when he left his hometown.

But in comparison, it is obvious that Tang Ji is not used to this kind of weather: "When will it rain?"

Gu Yi held the steering wheel and looked at the slowly squirming car ahead: "It's just entered the plum blossom, at least it will take another month."

"One month?" Tang Ji collapsed on the seat, looking hopeless, "Are you growing mushrooms?"

"Actually, Mr. Tang doesn't need to come..." Gu Yi glanced at him, "I just went back to pack my things." He hasn't been home for half a month, and if he doesn't go back, Aunt Zhou will kill him to ask for the rent.

"Protect your safety." Tang Ji said without formality.For some reason, Gu Yi always felt that since everyone "meet each other honestly" that day, he seemed to get up casually again, instead of the attitude like a salted fish before.

However, Gu Yi couldn't refute this sentence.The traps in the field that day did work, but because Wu Peng was the only one who took the shot, Flynn retreated completely, but Wu Peng was defeated.An operation that had a high probability of success has turned into a warning to the enemy because of the sudden appearance of the hybrid species.It is conceivable that Flynn will definitely not show up easily again, and they have no choice but to double their vigilance.

Li Tianyi has already sent Shen Jingyan to protect him, and Gu Yi is of course under Tang Ji's supervision.As for Wu Peng, he acted as a coolie and ran with Du Quan to check the tourists on the field that day.And Wu Zhanshan went to negotiate with his superiors, trying to search for that laboratory in the whole city-this is the most difficult, but also the most important.

Tang Ji didn't hide any of these from Gu Yi. Of course, he didn't say anything about the details.In short, according to his statement, Gu Yi is now a protected object, and he needs to be protected whenever he goes out.For a moment, Gu Yi had the illusion that if he hadn't been doing the work of the company every night, he really wouldn't know who is the boss.

Once in plum blossom, the smell in the basement is even more "rich", and there is a musty smell everywhere, which is really torture for people with a keen sense of smell.

Gu Yi's room was naturally unavoidable, especially since he hadn't come back for a long time and the room didn't have windows open for ventilation, so the smell was even more indescribable.Tang Ji stood outside the door and pinched his nose: "What kind of smell is this? Can you really live?"

"It's much better than the slums." Gu Yi went to open the window, "It's just damp." His room is clean enough.

"That's... that's true..." Tang Ji admitted reluctantly, walked in with a fan, and found that fungi had really grown in the corner of the wall, "This—you'd better not live here." Of course he lived Worse places than this, but it was during training after all, and a few days would be enough.But Gu Yi has lived here for several years, and every year he has to spend this kind of rainy day...

"I said, how much is this house?"

"one thousand."

"This kind of house costs 1000 yuan!" Tang Ji barely cried out, "You should return the rent of the house and live with me."

Gu Yi stopped packing his things, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Tang, if I don't rent the house in this location, someone will rent it out immediately. When I move out from you, I will look for such a house again." I can't find it."

Tang Ji opened his mouth and said after a long time: "Isn't there anything better? At least it's not so wet..."

Gu Yi asked him back: "Mr. Tang, do you know how much the house you live in costs per square meter?"

"No...not sure..." Tang Ji laughed dryly, "I heard from Sang Lin that houses here are more expensive, but——I haven't bought one, so..."

What a big dog!Buy a house without asking the price...

Gu Yi's teeth were itchy for a moment, but he still suppressed it: "The average price of houses in your area should be more than [-] per square meter..." This is really bitter, that is to say, all his savings up to now are still Not enough to buy a square meter.Oh, now he has no savings, he has lent it to Zhang Liang, and he still owes the company a month's salary.

"From the house price, Mr. Tang can deduce the rent a little... Then he knows that the houses here are already considered rare. Otherwise, they must be rented together." The main reason is that there are such small cubicles in the current new houses, which are often [-] square meters. , Rent... Anyway, he absolutely can't afford the rent, and when the time comes to share the rent with someone, I don't know how much trouble it will be.

Tang Ji stopped talking.Gu Yi glanced at him with a half-smile: "Of course, if Mr. Tang gives me a raise in salary, then I might have hope to change places."

Tang Ji coughed dryly: "This... personnel affairs are all decided by Vice President Zhang..."

Your sister's capitalist!Iron rooster Liuli cat, not pulling a hair out!

Since no more money was given, Gu Yi had no intention of talking.He packed up his clothes - Li Tianyi was not around, Tang Ji's clothes were of course not easy to wear anymore.He touched the umbrella next to the cabinet, hesitated for a moment, and took it out anyway.

"What?" Tang Ji glanced at it, "Hey, such an old umbrella is rare."

"I brought it from home." Gu Yi said simply, "Follow me all the time, it's just a thought."

"Oh——" Tang Ji originally wanted to pick it up to have a look, but when he heard this, he retracted his hand and just looked at it for a while, "The material of this handle looks good."

Gu Yi smiled slightly: "Of course. This is made of unicorn horns. The handle of the umbrella is cut from a tree in hell. And the umbrella surface is woven with the feathers of fallen angels, which is why it is so black." Guangrun. It is probably the only one in this world."

Tang Ji laughed loudly: "The family heirloom is indeed the only one."

"Well——" Gu Yi turned his head and put the umbrella together with the umbrella suit he sewed, "The materials are all presented by the elders." It can be regarded as a family heirloom, and it is indeed the only one.

"The umbrella cover doesn't seem to fit well." Tang Ji looked at the blue and black umbrella cover with half of the Tuzki on it. Obviously, it was two old T-shirts put together.The stitching is very neat, but the materials used are too careless.Tuzki's embarrassing face was crooked and a large part was cut off, which was indescribably funny.

"Then what should I use?" Gu Yi asked with a smile.

Tang Ji stroked his chin: "For such a precious umbrella, even if you can't use dragon skin for the umbrella cover, at least you should use cockatrice skin. Well, I have a cockatrice tail, which is about the same length, and I will send it to you later. "

Gu Yi also laughed: "Okay. Then this umbrella is really perfect."

The two smiled at each other, as if they were telling a funny joke.

Gu Yi's things are no more than a big backpack.He went upstairs to find Aunt Zhou, paid the rent for the next quarter, and threw the small mushrooms that grew out of the corner into the trash can, and then he could leave.

Probably because he was still wearing Tang Ji's old shirt, Aunt Zhou stared at him and asked for a long time, as if she wanted to raise the rent a bit more.But seeing Gu Yi's funny umbrella cover, he finally shut up.I probably figured it out, I can't bear to throw away such a broken umbrella, it doesn't look like I've made a fortune.

It was past six o'clock when the car returned to the road again.The sky was dark, the rain was still continuous like a thread, the water reflected on the road surface, and the lights of passing cars flashed dazzlingly.

"Women are really scary..." Tang Ji heard Aunt Zhou's whole interrogation on the stairs. Although he was not the one who asked the question, he still had the urge to sweat on his back, "Why can she ask everything?"

Gu Yi couldn't help laughing out, "Mr. Tang never met him abroad, did he?"

"No." Tang Ji had lingering fears, "And she's just the landlord..."

Gu Yi smiled, and was thinking about how to explain to Tang Ji a creature like "Old Aunt", when suddenly the light in front of him was suddenly strong, Tang Ji raised his hand to block it: "Who turns on the high beam!"

Gu Yi was also blinded by the strong light, but he was different from ordinary people after all, and he could still see clearly what was behind the bright light—it was a heavy-duty truck, and the front of the car was already facing towards him. The road came calling.

"No!" Although Tang Ji was blinded by the lights, he could hear the roar of the engine, "Get out of the way!"

Almost at the same time as he was speaking, there was a loud noise, and the heavy truck broke through the guardrail in the middle of the road and rammed towards Gu Yi and his car.At this time, an Audi car coming from behind was just on the right, completely occupying the road.

"Turn right!" Tang Ji rushed over and grabbed the steering wheel, and swung to the right without hesitation. The car was close to the car on the right, and sparks were almost burst out when the doors rubbed against each other, pushing the car on the right to the side of the road. .

creak-

Amidst the piercing sound, the Audi car was squeezed onto the sidewalk, knocking down several small trees in a row, and a large part of the car body collapsed.But Tang Ji's car was even worse. The entire rear of the car was squeezed out by the front of the heavy truck. The car turned upside down, and the airbag popped out with a bang.

There was a sound of brakes from behind, but Gu Yi couldn't hear it very clearly because his head was hugged by Tang Ji.

The airbag squeezed the two of them in between, and Tang Ji's posture was a bit weird.He broke his seat belt while grabbing the steering wheel, and now he is half standing in the car, supporting Gu Yi's head with one hand to prevent him from slamming into the airbag and spraining his cervical spine.However, during this tumbling, he still couldn't fully stabilize his body, and there was an extra dark red patch on his forehead, which quickly turned into a bruise.

"How are you?" Tang Ji asked Gu Yi in a deep voice as if he didn't feel the injury on his head at all.

Gu Yi almost teleported at the moment the car overturned, but he held back.Looking at the injury on Tang Ji's head now, he felt a little guilty: "It's okay."

Then the airbag deflated, Tang Ji pulled out his arm, a silver light flashed between his fingers, "Get out!"

The heavy-duty truck that caused the accident knocked down a large tree and then came to a stop. In the process, it also scratched the two cars behind it, but fortunately it was just a scratch.There were a few cars in the back that came into close contact with the guardrail, mainly because of the slippery road in rainy days, but it was not serious.Some car owners opened their doors and cursed, and sirens sounded in the distance.

Tang Ji blocked Gu Yi from behind, and strode towards the heavy truck.Gu Yi could tell from behind that his muscles were tense now, and he could attack or dodge at any time.But before he got to the side of the truck, the door of the driver's cab opened by itself, and the truck driver showed his face nervously: "Why, what's the matter?"

A car that was scratched by him was parked next to him. The owner of the car heard this sentence as soon as he opened the door, and immediately cursed: "Cenna! You are going to kill someone and ask!"

"Crash, crash?" The truck driver jumped down in a panic, his eyes turned around, as if he wanted to run away, but the owner grabbed him: "You want to run?"

A car owner has already rushed up from behind: "Want to run? Grab him!"

"You're blind. If you go from that road to this road, even the guardrails can't stop you!"

"Little red guy! Have you been drinking? Hurry up and call the police!"

"The car in front hasn't moved yet, I don't know if anyone died..."

Amidst the scolding, the truck driver trembled: "I, I didn't drink..."

Tang Ji didn't ask the driver immediately, but went straight into the cab of the heavy-duty truck and looked around before coming down: "You didn't drink, why did you drive the car like this?"

"I, I..." The driver was about to cry, "I don't know... I just, I got confused..."

Immediately there was another chatter: "So I'm sleeping!"

"Dare to sleep while driving!"

"It must be fatigue driving!"

Gu Yi also took a look into the cab of the truck.With the windows open, of course there won't be any smell left in the cab.But——he turned his eyes back to the driver. Below the driver's left ear, on his tanned neck, there were two slightly red spots, as if they were small bags bitten by mosquitoes. will ignore the past.

Tang Ji obviously did not ignore it.He held out his hand to support the driver's head and turned it around. The driver who was defending almost bit his tongue: "Why, how..."

Tang Ji pressed the side of his neck: "When did you start to get confused?"

The driver flinched and looked back: "It seems—it seems to be at the intersection over there... I really didn't drive tired. I just ran all afternoon, but I was a little confused for some reason just now..." He didn't remember at all that he was How did the car run over the middle guardrail?

The police car had already arrived, and the door of the Audi that was squeezed onto the sidewalk was opened. Fortunately, the driver was not in danger of life, but had some trauma, but it was not serious.As for the other vehicles, the owners were only frightened. The real danger was Gu Yi's car. However, both of them were safe and sound, which can be regarded as luck among misfortunes.

The police expressed their gratitude at that time, and the heavy-duty truck driver couldn't wait to kneel down and thank God.Gu Yi watched Tang Ji go over to negotiate with the police in a low voice, his eyes narrowed slightly - this is not a car accident, this is murder, but who is the target?Is it him, or Tang Ji, or both?
