Monsoon

"If I had to describe you with an animal, it would be a jellyfish. It likes low light and warm water. It looks hard but transparent. I know you are poisonous, but I can't help but get close to you. Who knows? , maybe you have engraved the gentleness of the sea breeze into your bones since you were born."

—— Ji Chi

The rainwater merged into a stream along the transparent glass windows and flowed down quickly. The weather forecast was right, and the rainy season in Beizhen came ahead of schedule.Fang Tang stood by the window and looked out. Colorful umbrellas moved on the street, ambulances drove in and out of the hospital dam, raindrops fell in small puddles and fainted circles.

"Beauty, I want to eat an apple." A lazy voice came from behind.

Fang Tang turned around and glared at Ji Chi: "Cut it yourself! It's not like you broke your hand."

He had just stood by the window for a few minutes before he was called upon to do something again.

"It's delicious when you cut it." Ji Chi looked at Fang Tang with a smile, "The doctor said that I need to add more vitamins, the wound will heal quickly, and you will be relieved sooner when the wound is healed, right?"

Your uncle's.

Fang Tang was clumsy, and the peeled apples were very thick. In the end, only half of an apple was left, and he handed it to Ji Chi.

Ji Chi was not polite, and took a big bite after receiving it: "It's delicious, it seems that the beauty really needs to cut it herself."

Fang Tang glared at him, moved the chair to the window, fed the freshly peeled thick apple peel into his mouth and chewed, he opened the window, let the wind blow the rain onto his face, it was cool, the rain was heavier than before Some, it seems that it will not stop for a while.

After a while, there was no movement nearby, Fang Tang turned his head to look at the hospital bed, Ji Chi had fallen asleep, his face was tightly covered by the quilt.This uncle is a normal person only when he is asleep, Fang Tang wished that he would not wake up.

Just a day or two after arriving here, Fang Tang was on vigil at the hospital, and the hospital brought a wire bed.After the anesthesia was over, Ji Chi didn't talk much, except for sleeping. Fang Tang was woken up in the middle of the night, curled up on the bed with his eyes closed and kept whining about being cold, but his body was sweating profusely, probably because of pain.Fang Tang brought four quilts and threw them on him, after a while Ji Chi calmed down.

He yells for cold, but he doesn't yell for pain, which makes him barely look like a man.

The phone vibrated suddenly, Fang Tang wiped the water off his face and took out the phone.

"Brother Fang." Photon's voice was low.

"Say."

"Accident happened to Ah Fei, the one under Jiang Xu. Two days ago, he and his mother-in-law were caught taking drugs in their rented house."

"so?"

"Jiang Xu asked what you mean."

"Whatever I can mean, I can do whatever I want." Fang Tang's tone was very flat.

"The sentence may be severe. The brothers are all pleading for him. I want you to say hello to the people in the bureau."

Fang Tang thought for a while: "Pass on my words, if you continue to plead, let him pack up his things and leave together." Fang Tang paused, "It's the same if Jiang Xu intervenes."

The other end of the phone was stunned for a while: "Okay."

Fang Tang hung up the phone and saw that the person on the bed next to him had woken up and was looking at him sideways with his head propped on his hands

"Tsk tsk, Boss Fang, you are really busy. I feel too sorry for keeping you in the East District."

Fang Tang glanced over and said, "I don't see where you feel sorry at all."

Ji Chi laughed "hehe" a few times: "That's true."

"I want to read, bring me the book." Ji Chi stretched.

"You read fart books." Fang Tang choked back.

"Hey, Boss Fang, you don't study but I want to. I've missed a lot of classes these days because of you." Ji Chi moved to the side of the bed and reached out to shake the head of the bed, "Hurry up come over."

"The books are held too high."

"Low, low."

"I can't see it that far away."

"It's so close, you want me to eat the book?"

Fang Tang sat on the edge of the bed and helped Ji Chi hold the book, but Ji Chi either hated this or that. The most annoying thing was that he didn't read the book at all, but walked over and directed, while looking at Fang Tang's face unscrupulously, Finally sighed: "Sure enough, she is a beauty——"

"Why don't I quit!"

Fang Tang threw the book on the ground vigorously, stood up from the bed, and was about to leave the ward to smoke a cigarette.

The moment he turned around, suddenly, someone pinched his wrist, and then a force pulled him down. He lost his footing and fell onto the bed, his face buried in a warm chest.

"Calm down." Ji Chi didn't know where the strength came from, and locked Fang Tang firmly in his arms with one hand, and raised the other hand to rub Fang Tang's head.

"You let me loose. Open." Fang Tang came to his senses and warned.

"Don't move around." Ji Chi said lightly, and his hands became stronger.

Fang Tang didn't dare to struggle too much, for fear that Ji Chi's wound would open again. The doctor said that if it opened again, the consequences would be disastrous.

"It hurts."

"Uh?"

Ji Chi came back to his senses, and quickly let go. Fang Tang stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at his arm again, a crimson finger print was very eye-catching.

Ji Chi stared at Fang Tang blankly, ready to say something.

Suddenly, the door of the ward opened, and a nurse on duty came in and took away the drip bottle.

"Family, let's wipe the patient's body today." The nurse told Fang Tang when she left.

"What did she say?" Fang Tang asked.

"Wipe my body for me. When you didn't come, there was a nursing aunt who was wiping me for me."

"You want me to come?"

"Otherwise?" Ji Chi returned to his original expression, grinning, "Beauty helps me take a bath, I feel excited just thinking about it." Ji Chi pointed to his lower body.

"I'm not a woman, you must be out of your mind!"

Fang Tang couldn't bear it anymore, cursed, grabbed the wallet on the cabinet, pushed the door out, and slammed the door with a loud "bang".

I really quit!

"I'll go, I didn't take the umbrella."

Going too hastily, Fang Tang left the umbrella in the hospital, and it was getting dark soon, so he had to take a taxi back.

Fang Tang stood on the side of the street to stop the car. Cars were in high demand in rainy days, and he couldn't stop one after standing for a long time. He looked up at the sky, and it was raining heavily.

Ji Chi stood by the window and looked out. The person below stopped several cars and they got on them first, so he had to go back and wait again.Everyone around was holding an umbrella, and he stood alone in the rain.Ji Chi glanced to the side, and the umbrella was indeed still in the ward.He slowly raised his hand and held it in front of him for a while, frowning.

"Grandpa." Fang Tang entered the yard and didn't see where grandpa was, so he stood in the yard and shouted loudly.

"Has Tangtang come back?" Grandpa's voice came from the kitchen.

Fang Tang trotted to follow the sound.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?!"

Fang Tang was stunned to see the scene in the kitchen. Piles of clothes were lying on the floor. Grandpa was sitting on a small bench with his back hunched, and his hands were full of soap bubbles.

"Help me with some laundry."

"Washing clothes? Why are you doing laundry?" Fang Tang questioned.

Grandpa scooped up a ladle of water, rinsed his hands, and then wiped the water off his hands on the apron: "It's not time for the female crab to come out, and I'm idle at home."

Fang Tang was silent for a while.

"Grandpa, you can't lie to me, didn't you say you still have money at home?"

Grandpa looked at Fang Tang's face and knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only confess: "I lent it to you, Uncle Lin, and you know that he is in trouble."

"I see."

Fang Tang picked up the fire stick in the stove, turned around and went out the door.

"Langtang, where are you going?"

"I'll go out and come back later for dinner."

"Lin Xiang, get out of here!"

Fang Tang stood in front of a one-story courtyard house, held a fire stick in his hand, and tapped his palms.

"Who is it?" A male voice came.

After a while, the man walked into the yard.

"Lin Xiang, return the money my grandfather lent you."

The man smiled: "Who am I supposed to be? It turned out to be you." He stretched out his hand to pick his nostrils, "Give it another two days, I won't be able to turn around here."

"Lin Xiang, I didn't come here to discuss with you." Fang Tang said coldly, "Return it immediately."

"You know, I—"

Before Lin Xiang finished speaking, Fang Tang leaped into the fence with a stick.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Lin Xiang's voice trembled, "I'll sue you for trespassing."

"Before you sue me, do you want me to tell you about gathering people to gamble and drinking bad wine to find a lady?"

Lin Xiang's face turned blue, his forehead was sweating, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Fang Tang, you have the guts."

Lin Xiang turned around and went back to the room, throwing a wad of money on Fang Tang's face.Fang Tang closed his eyes, and the money fell to the ground one after another. He put the stick aside, squatted down carefully to pick up the money, wiped the dust, arranged it according to the denomination, and stood up again.

"Lin Xiang, let me warn you one last time. If you dare to touch my grandpa, I can do anything. Anyway, I, Fang Tang, will die."

Fang Tang walked home on the muddy road. Grandpa had already turned on the lamp and was dozing off sitting in front of the table. There was a bowl of seafood noodles on the table, but it had already turned into dough.

He silently took the chopsticks and sat in front of the table. Grandpa was woken up by a noise.

"Langtang, where have you been?"

Fang Tang took out a stack of money from his bag and put it on the table: "Grandpa, Lin Xiang probably won't come here in the future."

"Oh—" Grandpa let out a long sigh.

"Are your eyes all right?"

"It's just a little fuzzy."

"Oh." Fang Tang buried his head and stuffed the noodles into his mouth, unable to taste the saltiness, "When will I take you to check it?"

"Don't go, don't go, that's what happens when you're old." Grandpa picked up the money and handed it to Fang Tang, then hurriedly changed the subject, "Tangtang, take this money and use it as living expenses."

"No, I have more living expenses." Fang Tang finished the noodles with a few mouthfuls, "I'm going to wash the dishes."

"Sorry."

As soon as Fang Tang stood up, he was stopped.

"Your parents are gone, but grandpa is still in the house. If you have any difficulties, come back." Grandpa sat with his back to the other party, "Go take a bath after raining, the hot water is ready for you."

Fang Tang clenched his teeth: "Yes."

When he arrived at the Eastern District Hospital, Fang Tang carried a cloth bag containing two bottles of crab sauce, which his grandfather asked to bring to the principal.He came out of the house and went straight to the hospital.When he entered the ward, he found that the bed had been tidied up, and the quilt and sheets were new.

"Family? The patient went to the first floor and was discharged from the hospital. He will come back to pick up his luggage in a while." The nurse took a broom and swept the floor briefly before leaving the room.

Fang Tang sat on the chair, raised his legs and waited, and put the pocket aside.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came, and he turned his head to see Ji Chi standing at the door, neatly dressed, with a thin blue plaid sweater inside the black windbreaker, the collar of the windbreaker turned up, making his face sharp and angular.

"Oh, beauty, are you reluctant to part with me?"

It's that unflattering look again.

Ji Chi walked towards Fang Tang, stood in front of him and looked down at him: "I knew you would come back."

"You've been discharged from the hospital, and you're cleared." Fang Tang leaned back, wanting to stay away from Ji Chi.

Ji Chi supported the back of the chair with his hands, leaned over and put his face close to Fang Tang, blew on his face, and then gently leaned into Fang Tang's ear: "You are wrong, we will never settle."

Fang Tang pushed Ji Chi away hard: "I don't want my brother to follow me to work hard because of my personal reasons. The well water in the east and west districts does not interfere with the river water. This is the rule." Fang Tang looked at Ji Chi calmly, "I don't know why You treat me like this, but enough is enough, Ji Chi, so that everyone can save face."

"Haha, beauty, you are so cute." Ji Chi smiled.

"Didn't you come here to ask me the question that made you sleepless?" Ji Chi leaned on the wall next to him with his arms folded.

"Look at this." Ji Chi took out a bag from the cabinet, and took out a file bag from the bag.

Fang Tang took it and opened the file bag, which contained some printed materials.

Ji Chi said: "Zhang Xiang, male, 33 years old, from Lingxi Town, has been dealing in drugs for these years. This man is very cunning. The police don't have enough evidence, so they can't arrest him yet."

Fang Tang flipped through the stack of documents: "What does this have to do with me?"

"He transferred his lair to Beizhen."

"Then?"

"The east and west districts joined forces and took him away."

"Why did the west district agree to join forces with the east district, or why do you think that the west district is willing to join forces with the east district?" Fang Tang sneered.

"You will agree."

Ji Chi found the bag under Fang Tang's feet, took a few steps to take a look at the bag, and said, "Come on, come on, what gift do you want?"

"You still come." Fang Tang stretched out his hand to grab it.

Ji Chi opened the bag and exclaimed: "Wow." Then he shook his head, "No, I know that the old Fang's crab sauce is the best in Beizhen. Boss Fang, you won't be so stingy, right?" Ji Chi held up the bag It's very high, so Fang Tang can't grab it.

"Whatever you want." Knowing that he couldn't beat Ji Chi, Fang Tang had no choice but to say, "Just treat it as a dog."

"Woof woof—" Ji Chi stuck out his tongue and barked a few times like a dog.

"Slot, I've never seen such a shameless person."

Ji Chi smiled brightly, showing his big white teeth.

"I'm leaving." Fang Tang stood up and prepared to leave.

Ji Chi stopped him: "Think about it, you don't want Beizhen to be destroyed."

Fang Tang paused, turned around and looked at Ji Chi: "Why do you want to go around in such a big circle?"

"You will know later." Ji Chi rarely answered seriously, but turned into a playful smile, "Beauty, I hope to meet you again, goodbye." He waved towards the door.

Ji Chi stood at the window, watching Fang Tang walk out of the gate of the inpatient department, and walked straight onto the road.

"Hello? Ji Xiao."

Ji Chi dialed the phone.

"How many times have I said it, call me brother."

Ji Chi fiddled with the curtains: "When are you coming back?"

"Wait until I finish this case." The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, "It seems that you have found him."

"Well, I kind of regret bringing him in."

"how?"

Ji Chi saw that the man had gone far away and disappeared from his sight.

"I like him."
