Bandits at night

When I regained consciousness, my head was groggy, and my eyes were pitch black.

His eyes seemed to be blinded by something, and what came to his face was an unpleasant smell of gasoline.

After my mind cleared up a bit, I realized that my hands and feet were tied up and I was lying on my side on the uneven ground.

Where I'm lying, based on the smell, is probably some abandoned warehouse.

This is... not daring to kill me, but also afraid that I would tell the old man, so he threw me in a place where nothing shit happened and waited for the matter to pass?

They probably won't know that I gave all their conversations to the old man. I deleted the call log after I hung up the phone. Now the old man knows without a doubt that they have ghosts.

I touched the knot with my backhand, which was taught to me by my old man when I was a child. I was slightly relieved, and after making sure that no one was around, I quickly untied the knot.

After a while, I felt the hemp rope loosen, and my hand finally broke free. I raised my hand to remove the cloth mask hanging from my eyes, looked around, and saw Jiang Lei lying not far away at a glance.

It is estimated that the electric shock he received was stronger than mine, and he is still awake.

I squatted in front of him, loosened the rope in his hand, looked at the other's frowning eyebrows, and stretched out my hand to push his shoulder: "A Lei, wake up."

no response.

He shouted a few more times, but the other party still didn't respond.

I had no choice but to give up, got up and walked out of the factory gate, intending to see what was going on outside.

After walking out, I found that there was really no one outside. As far as I could see, there was an open space with roads on both sides, but none of them seemed to have many people walking by, and weeds were overgrown.

What kind of broken place is this?

I frowned, and silently chopped those white-eyed wolves into pieces for several rounds.

I turned around and went back to the factory, just in time to see Jiang Lei's hand move.

I quickly stepped forward and asked tentatively, "A Lei?"

Jiang Lei really slowly opened his eyes, seeing my eyes were confused for a moment, then he reacted immediately and looked around: "Where is it?"

I shrugged: "I don't know, I was thrown here after being stunned, probably those guys paid someone to send us here."

Jiang Lei frowned, and came outside the factory with me.

"No one, no mobile phone, no means of transportation," I sighed, "They deliberately don't want us to return to the company in a short time."

"You..." Jiang Lei looked at the deserted scene in front of him, frowned, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something.

I said plainly: "Don't worry, the old man already knows, those guys will not have a good time. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to leave."

"Do you know how to get there?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter in this case, right?" I laughed, and then took out a coin that was not looted from my pocket: "The front is on the left, and the back is on the right."

As soon as the words fell, I tossed the coin about half a meter high, then firmly caught it with the face of my fist, and showed the front side of the coin to Jiang Lei: "Let's go to the left."

Jiang Lei frowned slightly, bypassed me and walked directly to the left road, and said softly: "Childish."

I hurriedly followed, raised my eyebrows and said, "Hey, you say you are childish, but you still admire it in your heart? I practiced for a long time in junior high..."

Jiang Lei suddenly took the coin in my hand and tossed it as he walked, it was higher than I was before, then he also caught it with the face of his fist and placed it in front of me.

I froze for a moment, but was speechless.

I silently complained in my heart, saying that I am naive, I think the most naive may not be me...

I don't know how long I've been walking, but I feel that the surrounding scenery still hasn't changed much, and I can't tell where this is, but Jiang Lei is beside me, so it's not too bad from this point of view--I don't even know what to do now. Thanks to those old guys who threw us here, let's curse them to death.

After walking for a while, I felt like I was back to the time when I lived under the same roof with him. I kept talking and harassing the other party, but Jiang Lei ignored him and focused on walking his way.

"A Lei, why haven't you talked? It's such a long road, and there are no cars nearby, why not accompany me to relieve boredom..." Seeing that the other party still didn't respond for a long time, I complained.

Jiang Lei seemed to be tired of me at last: "You have finished all the words, what can I say?"

I said: "You never mentioned your past to me, tell me?"

"Is it necessary? You should have checked mine, right?" Jiang Lei remained expressionless.

I didn't intend to hide it, so I said frankly: "I checked you, but it all started when I met the old man, and how can you tell me the details yourself?"

Jiang Lei didn't get angry because of this matter, he was silent for a while, and just when I thought he would keep silent, he said lightly: "I'm different from you, I didn't graduate from junior high school, because my family didn't The money came out and got mixed up."

"……and then?"

"My mother is weak, and the family basically relies on her to do odd jobs to support the family. My father likes to gamble outside and owes a lot of debt."

His tone remained flat, as if he was only referring to a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

"Later my mother died, my father ran away, and those people came to my house to collect debts. When I was running, I happened to be hit by the boss's car. He asked people to come down and ask me if I was okay. I saw the clothes of those people and thought It’s also here to collect debts.”

I nodded knowingly: "I've heard of this before, and then you beat them all down, and my dad fell in love with your fighting ability."

"Not only did he not blame me, but he helped me deal with those people and took me back to the gang. He is my benefactor." Jiang Lei said.

I looked at the side face of the other party calmly narrating, and suddenly thought in my heart, how did he feel when he was wronged as a betrayer?

In short, he won't be as calm and indifferent as he appears.

I always remember that in the apartment near the school, he hugged me like a straw, and kept saying that it wasn't him, that was his rare fragility.

After he proved that he was not an inner ghost by his own ability, when the old man asked him to return to the gang, he agreed without asking anything, and then returned to the gang and continued to work hard for his father.

I feel a little complicated in my heart.

I never thought about getting to know him before, I just thought, now enjoying and being happy is enough.

But now that I know his past from his mouth, I suddenly feel a little distressed.

There are also some unpleasant tastes.

We walked in silence for an unknown amount of time, and finally farmland and a few farmers appeared on the side of the road.

Jiang Lei and I looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes, I went to a farmer and knocked on the door.

There is an old couple living here. After I asked them for the way, I learned that it would take nearly an hour to get to the road from here. The two elders seemed to have seen us walk a long way, and their lips were chapped. He kindly gave us some food and water, and asked us to stay and rest for a while before leaving.

I hesitated for a while, but agreed, and Jiang Lei didn't raise any objections.

After resting in the farmhouse for a while, I drank a few sips of water and chatted with the two old people casually. It was easy to talk about these miscellaneous topics, and the two old people were amused by my words from time to time. .

After a while, we found that we had been here for a long time, so we got up, thanked the two of us, and then we left.

"You are good at chatting with people." Jiang Lei said suddenly after leaving the place where these farmers were.

"I have practiced it. It's easy for me to have a good relationship with others since I was a child," I said, thinking of something, and smiled: "Except for you, you ignore me whatever I tell you."

Jiang Lei didn't speak.

"However, don't worry, Ah Lei, I haven't cared so much about anyone except you." I smiled.

Jiang Lei still didn't speak.

Seeing his usual cold face, I curled my lips in boredom.

After walking for a while, the scenery next to me was finally no longer just a wasteland, but instead appeared many clear lakes and rapeseed flowers. I looked at the scenery along the way, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt a sense of comfort in my heart.I smiled and said: "When I was living with you, I always thought that one day I could go to this kind of place with you to have a look, and now it has come true under this circumstance."

"Tang Yuze." Jiang Lei suddenly called my name.

"Ok?"

Jiang Lei glanced at me sideways: "Stop saying such misleading words again."

I froze for a moment, looked at Jiang Lei's tightly pursed thin lips, and finally didn't speak again.

The two walked forward along the path in silence. I thought the atmosphere would end in such an awkward silence, but Jiang Lei suddenly asked, "What about you?"

"……Um?"

I was a little surprised at the other party's initiative, so I didn't react in time.

"You didn't say anything about yourself about the past," Jiang Lei said.

I thought about it and asked, "Like what?"

"The boss didn't train you as the successor of the gang, but sent you to the best school. Why?"

From the tone of his voice, he seemed to have been curious about this question.

I thought for a moment, and replied, "If I say that I don't really know myself, would you believe me?"

"..."

"It's because of my mother." Seeing that he didn't respond, I had to say.

Jiang Lei glanced at me sideways, and I explained: "My mother passed away when I was still in kindergarten. The old man has been unwilling to tell me the cause of her death, but there is no wall that does not leak air. I asked later It turned out that my mother was involved in a gang fight and died."

Speaking of this, I remembered the look on the old man's face every time he mentioned my mother to me, and he paused involuntarily, and then continued after a while: "Since then, my dad has been depressed for a long time, and then devoted himself to cleaning up the crimes. I won't be allowed to touch these anymore, just let me know some superficial information. Although he hasn't said anything, I can see that he wants to wipe out all possible troubles in the underworld before I take over his company in the future. The old man has always been Just do not talk..."

"You seem to know how she died?" Jiang Lei seemed to have sensed something from my tone.

I hesitated and nodded: "I'm not sure, but according to what I found out, she..."

Having said that, I didn't say any more, because out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a small truck appearing on a trail behind me, coming towards us.

Jiang Lei obviously also found out.

When the pickup truck approached, I quickly waved my hand a few times.

The driver seemed to be going somewhere to pick up the goods, so he took this shortcut on the way. I talked about it and promised a lot of benefits. The other party finally agreed to take me and Jiang Lei, but since there were no seats in front, we could only sit in the back in the convertible.

The car drove halfway and passed several farmers on the way, but there was no one else.

Sitting side by side in the car, Jiang Lei and I didn't bring up the topic just now.

It's not an easy topic, and it's just sad to mention it, so why continue.

"...I just said that I want to come to such a place with you. It's true, Ah Lei," I said suddenly, "I don't want you to misunderstand, nor am I kidding you."

Jiang Lei kept silent and didn't look at me, but I knew he was listening to me.

"Every time I see you with a straight face and no words, I feel that one day I can take you to a place where you don't have to think about anything, and relax together, it would be great," I continued: "If I can see you Smile at me, it's even better."

High school, especially the third year, was definitely not easy for me, especially because I don't like to fall behind, and I don't want to let many people down.

There should not be many people who feel completely relaxed at this time.

At that time, whenever I wanted to go to a place where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant and the air was fresh, Jiang Lei was the first person I wanted to be with.

"You can find many people to come to these places, not necessarily me," Jiang Lei said.

"It's different, Alei," I said seriously for the first time, "You're different from them, and everyone I've met before, and I know I might not take a relationship seriously enough, but I never I thought about playing with you, but I just... don't know what it means to love someone."

I have no courage to break the dogma of the past.

Because since I was a child, my cognition is that before a certain time comes, I can do what I want, and I can associate with anyone, but one day I will marry a woman who knows the general, and have children, and It is not always impossible to break a relationship that is not tolerated by the world and is full of uncertainty.

Regarding Jiang Lei, what I can be sure of is that, to me, he is different from others.

That's it.

"I know it may be hypocritical and unreasonable for me to make this request, but I don't want you to disappoint me." I said.

After saying this, I vaguely heard Jiang Lei sigh, and he said: "I have never been disappointed in you."

I froze.

"From the moment I knew your identity, I knew how much water you said to me. But you have always looked at me very frankly. I know that you may not realize it yourself, or you may not even think about it. Is what you said a lie, to what extent do you like it... You did not disappoint, Tang Yuze, you are just immature and didn't think so much."

I stared blankly at him, Jiang Lei turned his head to look at me, his eyes made me unable to understand: "I said I love you, have you forgotten?"

Of course I haven't forgotten, but I also have to admit that I didn't believe what he said from the bottom of my heart.

"It's not so easy to be disappointed when you love someone." His expression remained the same, but what he said made my heart skip a beat.

Jiang Lei, time and time again exceeded my cognition.

I stared at him: "A Lei, I..."

"I know."

Jiang Lei interrupted suddenly, he took the initiative to approach me, and then kissed my lips.

I paused indistinctly, then hugged him, pushed him hard against the carriage, and kissed him back.

After three months, I found that I crazily missed the taste of his lips, his breath, and the strength with which he held me.
