Beat Generation

The sky is hung with dark clouds that cannot be separated.

Holding a cup of coffee from the street to the end of the street, Zhuang Mei's pace became faster and faster, and she was quickly submerged in the crowd, but she always turned her head subconsciously, her eyes swept over every face in the crowd, her expression So inadvertently.

Before entering the office, she looked up at the sky occupied by dark clouds. The glimmer of light leaking from the gaps in the clouds sprinkled on her eyelashes, reflecting the bottomless blackness of her eyes.

Less than 5 minutes after sitting in the seat, Zhao Huilin stood at the door with a cup of coffee.

"Oh, you have coffee." Zhao Huilin frowned slightly, a little surprised.

"Yes." Zhuang Mei raised the coffee in Yang's hand, then looked at the coffee in Zhao Huilin's hand. "For me?"

Zhao Huilin nodded, "If you don't mind having a drink or two?"

"Thank you." Zhuang Mei took the coffee, Zhao Huilin turned around with a smile, Zhuang Mei closed the door, she lifted the plastic cover of the coffee, smelled the rich and fresh aroma of coffee beans, this is a cup of freshly ground coffee.

Zhuang Mei sat back in her seat, staring at the strands of intense heat coming out of the opened plastic cover.

She didn't dare to drink coffee that was too hard.

The work in the morning was over quickly. For lunch, Zhuang Mei invited Zhao Huilin to have a simple meal. The two chatted about Zhao Huilin's childhood embarrassment.

"What about you? Didn't you go up a tree to tinker with a bird's nest when you were young? Didn't you do anything naughty?"

"..."

"Did I say something wrong..." Zhao Huilin noticed that Zhuang Mei's expression was not very good.

Zhuang Mei waved her hand, "I can't remember anything about my childhood."

"Then go to elementary school..."

"I don't remember either."

Zhao Huilin kept silent and stopped asking.

Zhuang Mei changed the subject, "Hui Lin, can I borrow your car?"

"Of course. You borrow a car, where are you going?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I want to go out by myself."

"That's all right. Get to know Mockery well, and you'll like her."

Zhuang Mei's eyes were gloomy. It is painful to fall in love with a place, especially if you know in your heart that you won't stay here for long, and maybe leaving is just around the corner.

Before leaving get off work, Zhao Huilin put the car keys on Zhuang Mei's desk. She had a social meeting at night, so she left work with other colleagues first.

Zhuang Mei worked until about nine o'clock before turning off the lights and locking the door, and went to the garage to pick up the car.

With a calm expression, she started the car and slowly drove the car out of the garage.

On the road, she glanced at the three cars following her in the rearview mirror. Zhuang Mei wasn't sure if these were the bodyguards that Wen Xi had temporarily transferred. She had never spoken to these "black shadows", usually only once. The car just follows.

Turning on the navigation, I confirmed the exact location of the desert hotel that Zhao Huilin took her to last time, and drove forward all the way, and the three cars followed at a leisurely pace.

The road out of the city at night is not easy, the neon lights are fading along the way, and there are no people.

When crossing the city boundary, the security check border police knocked on her car window, "Miss, please show your driver's license and ID card, thank you."

Pull out your ID and hand it over to the police.

"It's so late, you have to check one by one."

"No way, safety first. Miss Zhuang, if you don't mind, we want to check your car."

"Ok."

Zhuang Mei got out of the car and opened the trunk cooperatively.

Everything was normal, the policeman looked a little better, and asked: "Miss Zhuang, leaving the city so late, the road is full of Gobi Desert, and the road is not easy to travel. If it is not urgent, I do not recommend you to leave the city at this time."

"It's urgent. That's why I'm out of town so late. Please."

"Okay. Miss Zhuang, register here. Where are you going?"

Zhuang Mei wrote in the register that she was going to a hotel in the middle of the desert, and the reason was that she had found an important lost property.

"Okay, let's go!" The border policeman with a gun opened the gate expressionlessly, and Zhuang Mei rushed to check her policeman and said, "Thank you, comrade policeman!"

"Have a safe journey. Be careful." The policeman smiled, and when her car drove away, he only heard him say: "Such a beautiful woman is not at home with her husband and children in the middle of the night, but she is going out of the city. There must be ghosts. Down."

After exiting the gate, there was a straight, uninhabited road. Zhuang Mei stepped on the accelerator and drove straight forward.

Perhaps it was because of the dark night, the road seemed a bit long, and the lights on both sides of the road were extremely dark, and several sections of the lights were broken, making her drowsy, so she slowed down and opened the window slightly , squeezed his temples, the cold wind blew on his face, and he became sober all of a sudden.

Played some music, thinking that Zhao Huilin's car was full of old songs, Zhuang Mei held the steering wheel with one hand, and supported his face with the other—Childhood, who would not have a childhood?She remembered the smell of plateau soil in her grandfather's wine cellar, she remembered that when she sneaked down to the cellar, she was directly beaten out by the old housekeeper, and she even bit the old housekeeper's shoulder... Zhuang Mei shook her head, stopped remembering, only immediately Step on the accelerator and accelerate on this unmanned highway.

Half an hour later, the hotel arrived.

She got out of the car with her bag in her hand and looked sideways. The road was pitch black. Haven't those three cars followed?

Knocking on the door of the store, unexpectedly the small restaurant was already full of people... Zhuang Mei didn't look at these "black shadows", but only looked at the boss and said, "Are there any rooms?"

"Yes, yes." The boss also wondered, the weather wasn't bad today, and it was almost eleven o'clock, why did a group of men come first, and then such a beautiful woman?He looked it up and down, and felt familiar, and thought, "Are you Huilin's friend?"

"Yes. Can you give me the same room as last time?"

"Okay, okay." The boss turned his head to look at the group of men with different expressions, "What would you like to eat? Let's take a look at the menu first."

He led Zhuang Mei upstairs and arranged a room for her. The boss said, "I'll give you another lock, and you lock it inside the door. Those people below look very evil."

"Thanks, good night."

"be careful."

After closing the door, Zhuang Mei sat by the bed, neither undressing and washing, nor lying on the bed to watch TV, nor playing with her mobile phone, she just sat there with her back straight. The sound of footsteps coming, those "black shadows" should all be arranged in the rooms on her left, right and opposite in the end.

When the outside calmed down, she moved a chair and placed it by the window, still sitting with her back straight.

Soon, midnight will come.

The window was completely black, Zhuang Mei stared at the wild grass outside the window without blinking, occasionally there was a little wind and grass, and she would tremble all over, but after several times, she was a little disappointed——she could only pull out the gun from her arms. The cock placed under her pillow was rubbing the cock, and a hand stretched out from behind her to cover her mouth.

Zhuang Mei repelled the owner of that hand with a high leg raise, and she pinched the gun to aim at the tall man in front of her.

The lights in the room were turned off, and his face was hard to distinguish, but his height and smell could be vaguely judged to be the man from that night.

The gun in the man's hand was also aimed at Zhuang Mei. He walked to the place where there was light by the window, moved his lips, and asked silently with his lips: "I've been waiting for you for too long, I thought you wouldn't come back." >

<Who are you? > Zhuang Mei took a step back and asked with lip language.

<If you don't tell me that you are Bo Mae, then I can't answer your question.Miss Bo. >

<Who sent you here?Is it Wen Xi again?Are you here to test me? > Hearing the words Bo Mei, Zhuang Mei's face gradually turned cold, she showed a strange smile, and before the other party reacted, she had already launched an attack. The man probably didn't expect Zhuang Mei to be like this He had a hard time avoiding a combination of punches, so he could only say in a low voice, "Miss Bo, I'm Bo Hui, and your own brother sent you here!"

Brother... Zhuang Mei clasped the man's hand, "Every time I say my brother came to me, Wen Xi, have you had enough fun!" Her hand searched back and forth on the man, "Where is the bug? Tell me, tell me!"

"..." The man didn't fight back at all. He lay on the floor and let Zhuang Mei search, until he found a jade pendant in his pocket, and Zhuang Mei let him go.

She touched the jade pendant, without even turning on the light to check, she was already sure that it was... indeed.

"Miss Bo, do you believe it now? Mr. Bo asked me to give you this jade pendant. If you don't believe it."

"Where... is he now?" Zhuang Mei turned around, clutching the jade pendant tightly, unable to say a word or shed a tear for a while.

"Mr. Bo knows that you have been imprisoned by Wen Xi, and he wants to take you abroad...I see that when you came, there were many people behind you. I don't want to stay here for a long time, so as not to be suspicious. This letter is from Mr. Bo I wrote it to you personally. There are plans in it. I will cooperate with you in the city at that time, but you need to find a way to leave Mokli and return to Wen Xi's side first."

"We want to take the waterway? The city is full of black piers of the Wen family, so we can't escape. We can go from here." Zhuang Mei still turned her back, and the man was about to say something when someone knocked on the door: "Miss Zhuang, Miss Wen said, she called your cell phone, but you didn't answer it, please answer it, if you haven't slept yet."

"..." Zhuang Mei thought for a while, "I see."

When she turned around, the man had long since disappeared, leaving only a letter on the ground.

Picking up the letter, Zhuang Mei turned on the light. The familiar envelope, the pattern, style, smell and badge all seemed to have traveled through the past years. She sat by the bed and pressed the letter to her heart. He dialed Wen Xi's cell phone.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Yes. Are you out of town today?"

"Well. The earring you gave me last time was missing one. I guess it was left in the hotel in the desert, so I came here to look for it."

Wen Xi on the other end obviously paused, and said after a while, "If you like it, I'll give you another pair of the same one. Don't go out of the city again. Please take a few days off to rest."

"Okay." Zhuang Mei pressed the letter until the heat of her heart beat warmed the letter, and said a few more words, Wen Xi said good night, and Zhuang Mei hung up the phone.

After confirming that Wen Xi would not call again, Zhuang Mei knelt on the bed. She lifted the quilt and hid it inside. She kissed the letter repeatedly in the quilt. She covered her sobbing mouth to prevent a trace of sadness from leaking out. .
