lion hunting

On New Year's Eve, Rui An was on the night shift as usual, and the wind was strong at night, blowing on his face hot.

"Go home tomorrow?" Rui An lowered his hat and shouted, riding ahead at a constant speed against the wind.In order to prevent people from getting into trouble during the New Year's Eve, the patrol time needs to be shortened, so the two must ensure the number of times, even if the wind is biting, they have to patrol around on motorcycles.

"Yeah, I go home a few times a year and miss my mother!" Miao Zheng replied in a choked air with sugar in his mouth, "Brother Rui?"

Rui An pondered for a while before responding slowly: "I'm still being treated like that."

"Why don't you go to my place, my mother's braised lion head is so delicious!"

Rui An sneered and said, "Forget it, it's all the way."

Miao Zheng has only been with him for two years. Although he knows that Rui An has always lived alone, he doesn't know about Rui An's family situation. He just heard from Fang Hong that Rui An spends the New Year alone.Although Miao Zheng asked curiously, but he didn't get an answer, every time Rui An ambiguously passed him by, and as time passed, he stopped asking.

Fortunately, the casualties caused by setting off fireworks and firecrackers this year have been greatly reduced compared to last year, and the [-]th anniversary has gone smoothly. Rui An also had a New Year's Eve dinner in the team cafeteria. After eating, Rui An remembered rhubarb. I just wanted to make a greeting on the phone, but no one answered the phone after it rang for a long time.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Rui An came home from get off work. When he got home, Rhubarb hadn't come back yet, so he went to prepare breakfast first.After all, it was the Chinese New Year, and I wanted to catch some good omens. Rui An took out all the dishes he had prepared before and made a fairly sumptuous meal. It was almost 09:30 when everything was done.

Rui An picked up the phone and thought about it, but the phone rang outside the door, followed by the sound of unlocking the door.

"what?"

At the same time as the voice came from the phone, the door was opened. Rui An stared blankly at Rhubarb who was holding the phone and looking at him. He had no choice but to turn off the phone and said, "Since we're all home, why answer the phone?"

"Catch it when it rings." Da Huang's unreasonable speech came again, he took off his coat and walked to the dining table, his amber eyes sparkled, "You did it?"

"Order!" Rui An took off her apron and sat down on her own.

Rhubarb went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went to the table to eat, but just after a few mouthfuls, he said: "Don't order this dish in the future."

"why?"

"The taste is average."

"..." Upon hearing this, Rui An's face fell instantly, and he poked his chopsticks into the bowl fiercely, "I'm so sorry, I cooked this meal!"

"I know."

Rui An was speechless for a moment, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you not make such a cheap joke when it's New Year's Eve? It still tastes mediocre, so I'll eat it gratefully."

"Heh." The man chuckled, and then said, "Just kidding, it's delicious."

"..."

The completely shocked man had lost his appetite. He finally regained his confidence after watching the man eat bowl after bowl, which made him wonder if rhubarb had learned badly outside, why did he start to talk glibly?

When the meal was almost finished, Rui An casually said, "I'm going out for a while after dinner, and I'll be back in the evening."

"Where?"

Rui An glanced at the rare person who asked questions, and said slowly, "To see a friend."

"is it far?"

"It's okay. If you take a bus, it's a two-hour journey."

Da Huang nodded, and stopped talking.

Rui An didn't take it seriously either. After eating, Rhubarb went to wash the dishes. He took a shower and changed his clothes. He took the gift box he bought when he got off work in the morning and was ready to go out.

"You want to go out too? Didn't you just get off work?" Rui An looked suspiciously at Rhubarb who was already fully dressed, puzzled.

"Ah."

Da Huang responded casually and went to put on his shoes first, Rui An raised his eyebrows, thinking that the young man is really energetic, he has been on the night shift all night, and now he is looking forward to catching up on sleep in the car.

The two went downstairs together, Da Huang also stopped while Rui An was waiting for the taxi, Rui An didn't think much of it, it wasn't until Da Huang got into the taxi with him that he looked at the man in a daze, "You do what?"

"Take the car."

"No, I asked why you got in the car!"

"Go with you."

After a certain person finished speaking, he closed the door of the taxi with peace of mind, and the taxi driver asked suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

"Ah, the bus station." Rui An responded reflexively, and then shouted again, "Wait, this person gets off the bus."

After Rui An finished speaking, he pushed Rhubarb, "Get out of the car, I'm going to do business, not play!"

"what is the relationship?"

"It's okay, you get out of the car quickly."

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, the driver said helplessly, "Are you going or not?"

"Let's go."

The person who answered the driver was not Rui An, but Rhubarb with a calm face.The driver stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the bus station after hearing this.

Rui An stared sideways at the man who didn't change his expression, and said almost frantically, "Why are you always messing around like this?"

"Don't worry, I won't make trouble for you."

"You're messing with me right now!"

A certain person automatically closed his ears and turned a deaf ear, Rui An leaned back in his seat angrily, only feeling that his blood pressure was rising, and it took him a long time to compromise, "This is the last time!"

"Your last time was too much."

Being ridiculed lukewarmly, Rui An himself was helpless. It is true that he had said this sentence too many times, and he didn't count each time. I really don't know if he was too soft-hearted, or when he faced this man, he The world deviates from the track of normal people. In short, the days are muddled by the two of them.

Not many people took the bus on the first day of the new year, but Rhubarb didn't have an ID card, so Rui An had to buy two tickets at a private canvassing office. Although it was ten yuan more expensive, the ticket inspection could be avoided.

The car at 11 o'clock is estimated to be around one o'clock.

The people in the car opened slowly after sitting halfway through, and Rui An, who was sitting by the window, closed the curtains and leaned his head on the curtains, so as not to knock his head when he fell asleep.

After closing his eyes for 2 minutes, Rui An suddenly opened them again. He glanced at the person sitting beside him playing mobile games and said, "Did you give me New Year's greetings?"

"..."

Rui An held down the phone that Da Huang was playing with, and said sternly: "Let me say that first, since you have come with me, you must be polite, and you want to pay New Year's greetings when you see your elders, you know?"

"What if you don't pray?"

The pupils shrank in an instant, and Rui An raised the corners of his mouth like a hooligan: "Then I'll throw you out of the car, and let you live on the street without food and food, wandering and wandering, and never find a home."

"..."

"..."

The four eyes are facing each other until one party compromises, otherwise they will never give up.

"Why?"

Facing the teachable man, Rui An nodded in satisfaction, raised his hands in a bow and said, "Shake hands like this, and say 'Happy New Year' or 'Happy New Year'."

"So stupid."

"Bullshit! It's called etiquette to pay New Year's greetings to the elders during the holidays. You are an ignorant human with a bunch of rice bugs in your head, eh!"

A big palm suddenly covered Rui An's entire face, and pushed him back until his head touched the backrest. Through the gaps between his slender fingers, Rui An saw the irritability on Da Huang's face.

"Sooner or later, pull out your teeth."

Shaking off the man's hand, Rui An said angrily: "You are not small, come on, pull it out!"

Rui An was determined that men dare not, and he didn't know where the confidence came from. He didn't know that he was playing off again until Da Huang really pinched his face with one hand so that he couldn't close his lips.

A certain person bullied the weak because of his height, Rui An felt aggrieved, and cursed falteringly: "You dare to touch my teeth, I will make you bald!"

Amber eyes condescended to look down at the deformed face that he pinched, and after a long time, he flicked Rui An's forehead gently, and then let go to play with his mobile phone.

Rubbing her sour cheeks, Rui An muttered: "It's not big or small, I'll clean you up sooner or later."

After saying this, Rui An nestled back to her original position and went to sleep.

Well, it was this kind of dispute without any advantage, and Rui An was puzzled, how could the longer the time, the less stable his position would be?Thinking that sooner or later this wild lion must be tamed and subdued, I went to meet the strong sleepiness.

After the car got on the highway, it didn't stop and go anymore, and Rui An, who finally opened his brows, fell asleep completely, even if the corners of his mouth were being squeezed and drooling, he didn't know it.

"Happy Chinese New Year?" The man crackling and playing with his mobile phone said almost inaudibly, and he probably felt awkward after speaking, and tilted his head to glance at the sleeping man.

Seeing the saliva around Rui An's mouth, a corner of her thin lips turned up. For some reason, her slender hand stretched towards the transparent saliva, and her fingertips brushed the man's protruding lips without any trace, and then it was not counted. Gently wipe away the saliva from the man.

"..."

The saliva stuck to the fingertips and felt sticky. Rhubarb stared at it for a moment and frowned slightly, then wiped it on Rui An's body casually.

Fingers finally recovered dry, Da Huang sat down, tilted his head, and was about to catch up on sleep.

This sleep was not very comfortable. When Rui An woke up, his head was still leaning against the glass, but Rhubarb's heavy head was pressed on his shoulder.

Rui An pushed Rhubarb, "Get up, get out of the car."

As soon as the weight was removed, Rui An's arms and shoulders crawled over like thousands of ants. It took him a long time to get out of the car until he got out of the numbness, and he couldn't even complain.

After the two got off the bus, they took a taxi for more than 10 minutes. When they got off, it was a different scene. This is a rural town different from the city.

Taking a deep breath uncontrollably, Rui An sighed contentedly: "It's so comfortable in my lungs."

Rui An, who wanted to get approval, glanced at Da Huang, who knew that Da Huang looked at him with a bewildered expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

Well, this kind of person whose emotional intelligence is as low as 100 meters below the level line does not understand this kind of sentiment at all, and Ruian, who feels that it is a mistake to hold on to hope, takes the gift box and walks away first.

The town is located on the outskirts of City S, and it's not a pure countryside, but it feels like a fish and rice water village. A small river runs through the town, and the rubble of single-family houses and the old people gathered at the bridge entrance all make Rui An feel a little The feeling of coming home.

But this is not his home.

After walking across the bridge, Rui An stood in front of a tall old wooden gate. The houses here were all next to each other, and there were fully enclosed courtyards on both sides of the gate.Rui An patted the clothes, straightened the collar, and then reached out to knock on the door.

At the second sound, there was a muffled sound from the yard.Rui An shook the hand holding the gift, feeling a little unconsciously nervous.

The old door was pulled open, and an old man who had already heard the sound of his ears walked out. When he saw the person coming, his face brightened instantly: "Hey, Xiao An?"

Looking at the old man's gray temples, Rui An suppressed his sore breath and said with a smile, "Uncle, happy Chinese New Year."

"Okay, come on, come in, your aunt mentioned you yesterday."

Rui An followed the old man into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw people busy in the kitchen. Rui An walked over, put the things on the ground, hugged the woman who stretched out her hand, "Auntie, Happy Chinese New Year."

"Okay, everything is fine." The woman with ruddy eyes stroked Rui An's back with rough hands, and then she blamed when she saw the gifts on the ground, "I told you that it's like going home when you come, don't spend money Buying things, you say you kid."

Rui An scratched his hair and said with a smile: "It's nothing, they are all supplements, and they are not expensive."

The few people who were immersed in the warm atmosphere completely ignored the people behind Rui An, until they heard a muffled sound, and they turned their heads to look.

Seeing the painful expression on the face of the person covering his forehead, Rui An almost laughed out loud, Rhubarb knocked his head on the door.However, without laughing, Rui An hurriedly pulled Rhubarb over and made a brief introduction, "Uncle, Auntie, this is my friend... Uh, stop by, come and have a look."

"Okay, this guy is really tall, isn't he broken?" Auntie is a talkative person, and she likes Da Huang very much when she sees his appearance.

"Ah, it's okay, he's rough-skinned and thick-skinned." Rui An rushed to answer, then kicked Rhubarb's calf wildly when no one else was paying attention, and laughed dryly twice.

"Ah." The person who reacted a little too late finally remembered, and saw Rhubarb clasping his hands together, and said in a deep voice, "Come on, happy Chinese New Year."

"Hey, okay, don't be too polite, come in and sit for a while, are you tired from the car ride? Auntie will make dumplings in a while, so you'll be full."

When everyone was busy, Rui An leaned in front of Da Huang, bumped him with his shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's not bad."
