Longcheng Fengyun

Where is the stuff hidden. "

"what?"

"Bad things." Ni Qiu rubbed his hands and whispered, "Things that make her bad."

"Is she better?" Zhou You asked.

Ni Qiu paused, and after a while, he raised his head and asked Zhou You: "What is good..."

Zhou You was smoking a cigarette: "Let's play mahjong together?"

Ni Qiu stuffed the pulled trouser pocket back: "I don't have any money..."

"Oh! I don't gamble! Gambling is against the law!"

Ni Qiu laughed, and Zhou You grabbed his shoulders: "Go now, go to Fei Jue's place."

"I have to go to work." Ni Qiu struggled to say.

"Then when do you leave work?"

"Maybe after three o'clock, you guys can play."

"Oh." Zhou You didn't continue, he smoked, picked up two or three big mouthfuls of deep-fried pieces that were cold on the ground, and ate them.

Ni Qiu went back into Maoji, and the back door was closed.

Ni Qiu got off work at 03:30. He cleaned up in the kitchen and was the last one to leave. When he came out, he saw Zhou You and was quite frightened.Zhou You huddled under the street lamp to read the newspaper, took a look, glanced around, and spotted Ni Qiu, rolled up the newspaper and put it under his arm, strode over, grabbed his shoulders and took a step forward.

"Let's go." Zhou You said.

Ni Qiu was in a hurry to speak, and accidentally bit his tongue, and a bloody smell came out of his mouth. He covered his mouth and asked Zhou You, "You've been waiting here for me?"

"That's right." Zhou You admitted quickly, and Ni Qiu panicked. He broke free from his hold at a loss, waved his hands, and stammered to stand on the side of the road and said to Zhou You: "You...you wait for me to call you. Mahjong? Can’t you date anyone else? Fei Jue, he should, should he go to bed? It’s four o’clock, you...you don’t sleep? not good……"

"What about you?" Zhou You stretched out his hand and pulled him back, "Let's go, let's go."

"I... I won't fight anymore, I'll take a nap, I'm used to it..." Ni Qiu said, Zhou You held him too tightly, he couldn't break free at all, and muttered endlessly, "I It’s not that playing mahjong is not good, it can also improve your intelligence, but, forget it at this late hour, if you want to play, go to the mahjong parlor, forget it, there is a smoky atmosphere..."

Zhou You slammed on the brakes, and Ni Qiu bumped into his back. He raised his head to look at Zhou You, scratched his hair, and looked out to both sides. There was no signboard of a mahjong parlor on the road, only the champagne club and the neon lights of the romantic hair salon Light up the night.The beautifully dressed street girls are smiling, with lazy expressions and dull eyes. They flap their skirts in the rich pink light, luring passers-by.

"Slap your head, what time is it?" Zhou Youda rolled his eyes and said to Ni Qiu angrily.

"Then where are you going?"

"Go back to your house." Zhou You was confident, Ni Qiu heard this, and his body and voice became shorter, and he shrank, and asked tentatively: "You... why are you going to my house?"

"Do you live near Perfume Street?"

Ni Qiu stretched his neck forward.

"Doesn't Fei Jue live near here?"

Ni Qiu nodded, and wanted to say something, Zhou You swiped casually, and spoke before him: "I have nowhere to go, and I don't have enough money to stay in a hotel, so I will borrow a night at your house, don't worry, I won't rely on you, I will Living near here, it will be convenient to find Fei Jue tomorrow, do you think it will work?"

"Ah... I... my family." Ni Qiu struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, also swallowed the problem of stuttering, and said a long series fluently and in a low voice, without panting, "my family can't do it, my mother Maybe you are at home, and our house is too small to live in, I will find you a place, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, you can keep accounts, the proprietress is very nice, Fei Jue also knows her.”

Zhou You thought about it and agreed.Ni Qiu smiled happily and said, "The proprietress is my mother's friend, everyone calls her Sister Zhen, she..."

Zhou You asked Ni Qiu: "Are you going to start work at the factory tomorrow morning?"

"Tomorrow is a day off." Ni Qiu continued to tell the story of Sister Zhen, "Her store is nearby, and there are usually vacant rooms, but maybe..."

"Possibly something."

"Could be a bit noisy..."

"Don't worry, one sofa and one bed, the people on the bed fight for three hundred rounds, I can fall asleep on the sofa!" Zhou You yawned, Ni Qiu looked down, Zhou You was still holding his wrist, Ni Qiu Qiu pulled out his hand, pulled down his sleeve, held his left hand with his right hand, walked silently beside Zhou You, and smiled embarrassingly.

"You will take a day off tomorrow, so what are you going to do?" Zhou You looked at him and asked.

"Oh, I'm going to Huawan."

"Huawan? Are you going mountain climbing? Or swimming in the lake? With your girlfriend?"

"no……"

"Then what are you doing? Hey, why is it so hard to talk to you! Hesitating!"

Zhou You's voice was loud, and Ni Qiu couldn't hold back his hiccups and stuttering. He stumbled and explained: "I...I'm going to Huawan Nursing Home...I'm going to see people...I..."

"Look at your father? Your grandpa? Your grandma? Which relative in your family? Which friend do you have? Besides Fei Jue, what friends do you have?"

Ni Qiu took a deep breath, pressed his chest and tried hard to suppress the hiccup, and struggled to say two words: "No."

He lowered his head and fell silent.

Zhou You hugged him: "Do you live close to Fei Jue?"

"I live upstairs from him..."

"Ah? You didn't say it earlier!" Zhou You patted Ni Qiu's back hard. Ni Qiu rushed forward and almost fell. He staggered to steady his pace and said, "His legs are finally better. "

"That's not it, he, he's in great condition now, I think he'll have nothing to do if he dies soon..."

Zhou You's expression was exaggerated, and before he finished speaking, Ni Qiu covered Zhou You's mouth with red face: "Don't say such unlucky words! There is no such thing as death, people still have to live if they can live! Why do you want to die! Even How good it is now, it will never be so good in the future, but... still have to live!"

Zhou You was obviously stunned, his exposed eyes blinked slowly, and suddenly he smiled.Ni Qiu put down his hand, pulled the corner of his clothes and lowered his eyes to stop looking at Zhou You, and muttered, "Anyway, don't talk about Fei Jue like that."

"Why are you so anxious, you don't want him to die?"

"Of course not!" Ni Qiu desperately pulled down his clothes.

"You are so nervous, do you like Fei Jue?"

"Of course I like him!" Ni Qiu said.

Zhou You was quiet, and Ni Qiu's final voice seemed to be shaking around him, Zhou You didn't speak, and Ni Qiu had nothing to say.Zhou You lowered his head, and Ni Qiu lowered his head even lower. They silently passed a row of Korean-style, Japanese-style, and Nanyang-style massage parlors. A girl in kimono was sitting in front of the massage parlor, smoking a cigarette, and her clogs brushed against Ni Qiu's trouser legs.She glanced at Ni Qiu, and Ni Qiu also saw her. She was very old, she must be in her 40s, her lack of maintenance and greasy face was full of signs of time, and the lipstick on her lips seemed to be brushed on. The wet mud on the wall seemed to fall to the ground at any time.

Ni Qiu turned his head and quickened his pace.

"He also likes men, you should go after him." Zhou You said suddenly.

Ni Qiu was puzzled for a while: "What did you say?"

"I said Fei Jue." Zhou You put his hands in his pockets and kicked the lighter on the road, "Don't you know he likes men?"

"I know." Ni Qiu said, "Don't you know?"

He looked up at Zhou You, his skin was dark, his eyebrows and eyes were fierce, he looked very energetic, and his words were sonorous and forceful, he was like a hard and bright black iron block.

"Then you like him." Zhou You said, with an iron-like, metal-like cold light in his eyes.

Ni Qiu tilted his head, his eyes did not move away, he asked Zhou You curiously: "Don't you like Fei Jue? He is so nice..."

Zhou You was stunned, and suddenly had nothing to say, the corners of his mouth turned up, but he didn't smile, until Ni Qiu led him into a foot massage parlor, went up to the second floor, and introduced Sister Zhen to him, Zhou You Only then did he burst out laughing, he patted Ni Qiu, and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to Huawan too, anyway, I have nothing to do, so remember to come to me in the morning."

When he smiled, he was full of enthusiasm and opened up. Seeing that Ni Qiu was very happy, he laughed along with him and nodded vigorously: "See you tomorrow."

Sister Zhen was smoking beside her, pinched Ni Qiu's cheek, and joked: "Go to Huawan to see how happy you are, date?"

Zhou You echoed, "Yes, yes, date, date."

Ni Qiu was still smiling, jumped downstairs and walked to the street, Zhou You poked his head out from the balcony on the second floor and waved to him: "See you tomorrow!"

Ni Qiu raised his head and waved: "See you tomorrow!"

Ni Qiu returned home, sat at the door until dawn, and when his mother went out, he slipped into the room to wipe himself, brushed his teeth and washed his face, took some coins from the hidden compartment under the sofa, and went out.When he arrived at Sister Zhen's place, Zhou You was already waiting for him downstairs. He probably hadn't slept enough and was yawning continuously. When Ni Qiu saw him, he touched his pocket and said to Zhou You regretfully, "Let me treat you to breakfast..."

Zhou You stretched his waist: "Then I'm going to Dragon Palace to have morning tea."

Ni Qiu counted the money, took a breath, and looked around at him: "What are you doing? Is there any problem?"

Ni Qiu rubbed his nose, and asked dejectedly: "Then... can I just eat a Mala Cake..."

He didn't dare to look at Zhou You's expression, but Zhou You laughed out loud and said, "Let's go, let's eat rice rolls, it's just across the way!"

He dragged Ni Qiu to the opposite side of the road, ordered two plates of rice rolls and a bowl of noodle noodles at the rice roll shop, and ate them while they were still hot. He still paid the money, and held down Ni Qiu who wanted to pay: " You pay for the bus fare!"

Ni Qiu wiped his mouth, counted five coins and held them in his hands. After eating, the two of them went to the bus station to take the bus. Ni Qiu bought two apples near the station and carried them with him. Zhou You wanted to eat them, but he didn’t let them. Said to be a patient.

It was the weekend, and there was no one on the morning bus. Zhou You took a nap with his arms folded as soon as his butt touched the seat. Ni Qiu also slept with his chin in his mouth. He slept and woke up very regularly. Open your eyes, you can fall asleep as soon as you get in the car, Zhou You is groggy, from Perfume Street to Huawan Nursing Home, Ni Qiu dragged Zhou You to get on and off the car, get off and get on the car, stop and go left.After entering the nursing home, Zhou You patted his cheeks, forced himself to cheer up, and couldn't help asking Ni Qiu: "How long did you sleep yesterday? Or are you a robot? Just charge it up?"

Ni Qiu only said, "I'm used to it."

This aroused Zhou You's enthusiasm for inquiring, and he chased him and asked, "Can I get used to this? Just sleep for two hours a day? Three hours? Are you a particularly heavy sleeper?"

Ni Qiu replied one by one: "You can get used to it, but I'm not used to sleeping too much, and it's not very heavy...it's okay."

Ni Qiu entered the elevator, followed by Zhou You, the elevator was crowded with people, wheelchairs next to wheelchairs, Zhou You was standing face to face with Ni Qiu, he stared at him, his eyes never relaxed or moved away.Ni Qiu didn't understand, wiped his face and mouth, and asked him in a low voice: "What's wrong with my face?"

"There's eye shit."

Ni Qiu quickly rubbed his eyes.

"Haha, I lied to you."

Ni Qiu still rubbed his eyes.Zhou You said, "You should sleep more."

They went to a multi-person ward on the third floor. When they entered, a nurse came out with a small cart. She had dimples on her face, and she had a sweet smile. When she saw Ni Qiu, she greeted Ni Qiu, "Seeing your grandma again." ah?"

She looked at a hospital bed, and there was an old woman sitting on the bed, holding a ball of dark green wool in her hand, looking sideways out of the window, her hair was tied in a loose bun, her eyes were gray .

Ni Qiu smiled, and Zhou You asked him in a low voice: "Your grandma?"

After the nurse walked out, Ni Qiu replied, "It's not my grandma..."

"Who is that?"

Ni Qiu went to wash the apples, and Zhou You was waiting for him at the toilet door.Ni Qiu said: "It's Boss Mao's mother..."

"He asked you?"

"No...they're all very busy. I'm free, so I'll take a look."

"Aren't you resting at home when you're free?" Zhou You knocked on Ni Qiu's head, helped him get an apple, walked to the old woman's bedside, found a fruit knife, and peeled the apple. It is clean and the skin is not broken.Ni Qiu stared blankly, picked up the pile of apple peels and looked at the trash can, then at Zhou You.Zhou You said angrily and amusedly, "Throw it away! What are you doing with your hands?"

Ni Qiu reluctantly saved the pile of apple peels: "You peeled it so well..."

Zhou You burst out laughing, the laughter attracted the old lady's attention, and she slowly turned her head to look at them.

The color of her eyes was blue and white indoors.She put down the ball of wool, and fumbled on the bed with her withered hands protruding from veins: "Yawen, is that you?"

Ni Qiu responded, and let the old woman caress his hands and his face.He sat down on the bed.

"Why did you lose weight again?" The old woman rubbed Ni Qiu's shoulders, complaining unhappily.

Zhou You bowed his head and divided the apples without making a sound.Ni Qiu sat on the bed and talked to the old woman: "The store has been very busy recently."

"I've been busy all the time, how is it, how is your dead dad doing?"

"The body is very healthy." Ni Qiu said, picked up a piece of apple and fed it to the old woman, "Grandma, eat an apple."

The old woman shied away: "Eat it, Yawen, you eat it, grandma wants to weave you a scarf recently, see if this color is good, they said that this blue color looks good."

Ni Qiu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it's very pretty, eat apples, grandma."

The old woman took a small bite of the apple, stroked Ni Qiu's hand and said, "Yawen, your skin is fair, and you look good in blue."

Her palms were rough, like a piece of sandpaper rubbing against the back of Ni Qiu's hands, but the sun warmed her hands, Ni Qiu lowered her head and pinched away a silver hair on the pillow.

"Before you said you wanted to learn guitar, did you go to learn it? If your father won't let you learn, you tell grandma, grandma is rich, grandma will send you abroad, send you to study abroad, don't learn from your father, sell porridge for a lifetime , I have been a cook all my life, and I only know pots and pans, a few catties and a few taels, and I can calculate money faster than anyone else. Alas, what is the use of making more money? You should learn music, learn music..." the old man The woman suddenly fell silent when she said this, her eyes closed and closed, and she leaned back.Ni Qiu hurriedly placed two pillows for her.The old woman fell silent, her eyes were completely closed, her chest heaved vigorously, and she was breathing deeply.

Zhou You ate a piece of apple and asked Ni Qiu, "What's wrong? Do you want to call a doctor?"

"It's okay, grandma is sleepy."

"Are you sleepy before you finished speaking?" Zhou You had an incredulous expression on his face.

Ni Qiu stroked the old woman's forehead hair, and put the ball of wool into a drawer, where there were many knitting needles and a small blue wool hat.Ni Qiu closed the drawer and said softly, "Maybe she thought she was dreaming..."

The old lady would say a word from time to time, no matter what she said, Ni Qiu would respond and continue to say something.

"You like that hat. I liked it the most when I was a child. I wear it every day, and it brings out rashes."

"Well, yes, I remember."

"Just put on talcum powder, your face will be white, as if you are singing a big show."

"Well, yes, I remembered."

Ni Qiu leaned against the head of the bed, half lying down, he was next to the old woman, he smelled the smell of smoke, urine, and medicine mixed with her body, he smelled the smell that a flower would emit when it withered bitterness.

Ni Qiu took the old woman's hand.Zhou You was still sitting, he stole the newspaper from the other bed to read, and an apple almost went into his stomach.Ni Qiu's feet accidentally touched his knee, he reached out and took off the slippers on Ni Qiu's feet, and put his feet on his lap.

The windows in the ward were open for ventilation, and the summer breeze was warm. Ni Qiu fell asleep for a while, and when he woke up, he and Zhou You left.

They walked side by side on the path leading to the station, Zhou You said: "I see, you are a good person."

Ni Qiu lowered his head and did not refute.

Zhou You repeated over and over again: "You abuse good people."

Ni Qiu bent down and pulled the sock tube.His hands were tucked into his sleeves.

The two went back to Longcheng. When Zhou You got out of the car, he yelled that he was too hungry to move. Ni Qiu went with him to the wonton noodle shop near the station to eat. While waiting for the noodles, he was afraid that Zhou You would be too hungry. It's amazing, and I went next door to buy two fried dumplings that are bigger than my face.He returned to the store, Zhou You went to meet him at the door, and smiled as he walked: "Where did you find such big two..."

In the middle of speaking, Zhou You's expression changed, he dragged Ni Qiu behind him, looked to both sides, grabbed a handful of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and turned his head to Ni Qiu.

"Call Fei Jue and ask him to pick you up here, don't come out, just stay in the shop."

After saying that, he went out.

Ni Qiu followed him, and a group of four people came out of nowhere on the street, rushing towards Zhou You with long knives in their hands.Ni Qiu's heart was beating violently, so he dropped Jiandui, and after arresting someone, he asked him to borrow his mobile phone: "Phone... please lend me your phone!! I'll give...give you money!"

He took out all the money on his body, and the coin fell all over the place. Ni Qiu didn't care to pick it up, so he called Fei Jue in a panic, but Fei Jue didn't answer the phone. Quickly answered: "Red Shrimp! Something happened! Zhou You! Zhou You!"

Ni Qiu couldn't breathe, her face was red and her neck was thick, her eyes were still looking at the street.Zhou You was being chased all the way, the vendors consciously moved out of the way, and the passers-by either took pictures with their mobile phones or crowded on the side of the road to watch.

"Speak slowly, slowly, what's wrong with Zhou You?" The red shrimp on the other end of the phone was quite calm.

"Hey, why did you take my mobile phone and go outside, hello!"

Ni Qiu unknowingly walked outside the store, he was grabbed by someone, and Ni Qiu said: "Zhou You is here at the station, someone hacked at Xiangshui Street Station!" Returning the phone, he ran out.He followed the group of people with knives into a dark alley, and he saw four people standing in a circle deep in the alley, as if they were chopping something with their knives. Ni Qiu's heart was already in his throat, and he picked it up. A wooden stick on the ground yelled.

"Hey!!"

A person turned his head, he was wearing a mask, and his face was full of shadows.

"You...what are you doing!!" Ni Qiu moved two steps forward against the wall.He vaguely saw a person sitting on the ground behind the masked man.

The man in the mask ignored him, turned around, and slashed with a knife.

Ni Qiu ran up and knocked the masked man on the back of the head with a stick with all his strength. He heard a thud, but the masked man stood still. Ni Qiu's wrist was sore, and the stick came off his hand. He squeezed his eyes and hit him. Trembling, the man in the mask turned sideways and slashed at him with a single knife.

Ni Qiu's eyes widened. One second his eyes were still shining with silver, but the next he saw only the dark night sky squeezed between two buildings. There were no stars, no moon, and the clouds were thick, reflecting the orange lights of the city.He fell to the ground, his buttocks were wet, his hands were wet, his clothes were torn, and a stab wound on his stomach was bleeding out.

Ni Qiu was stunned, he couldn't stop trembling, he couldn't stop gasping, he couldn't cry out in pain, the masked man was standing in front of him, the long knife in his hand was dripping blood, the knife was raised again stand up.

Ni Qiu bit his lip, he saw Zhou You from between the masked man's legs.He was not dead yet, he snatched the knife from someone else, and stabbed someone in the stomach with one knife.The man screamed, the masked man turned his head, Ni Qiu struggled to get up from the ground, hugged the masked man and fell to the ground together with him.The man in the mask was physically stronger and taller than him, and broke free immediately. Ni Qiu didn't give up, and lay down on the ground and grabbed the man's feet in the mask.The masked man yelled at the street, and was about to chop off his hand with a knife. In the blink of an eye, Zhou You rushed over, pinned the masked man to the ground, grabbed his neck, and touched the knife he had dropped on the ground towards him. throat wiped.Ni Qiu rolled his eyes and hugged Zhou You: "You can't kill people! Zhou You! If you kill someone, you will go to jail!! Zhou You! You can't kill people!"

Zhou You pushed him, but Ni Qiu was still crying: "They did it first! You call the police! You are right to call the police!! You killed someone...you are going to jail!!"

Zhou You slit the masked man's neck, tore off his mask, and found a wallet and a mobile phone from his trouser pocket.He lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, sitting on the masked man and wiping his face and eyes.

The phone's fluorescence illuminates Zhou You's face.There was still a lot of blood on his face and hair.

Zhou You said: "He almost killed you, do you know that?"

Ni Qiu's stomach hurt badly, he covered the knife wound on his stomach, and Zhou You looked at him: "Either he dies or you die."

"I'm not dead yet!" Ni Qiu said.

"That's his death!" Zhou You said, he stood up, and looked at a short-cut man with a short hair who fell on the ground not far away, his body was twitching, and blood was spitting out of his mouth.Zhou You picked up a bamboo chopstick on the ground and walked towards the man.Ni Qiu panicked and crawled, his hands flapping in the air, trying to catch Zhou You.

"Don't kill... Zhou You... Zhou You...!"

Zhou You blocked his face, and stabbed the crew cut man's throat with a chopstick, blood splashed in his palm, and Zhou You wiped his hands on his trousers.Ni Qiu cried out, sobbing softly, he stopped looking at Zhou You, and cried with his face on the ground.

Zhou You lifted him up from the ground, and he slapped Ni Qiu.Ni Qiu was still crying, crying with her head down: "You will go to jail..."

Zhou You's voice was cold: "You see clearly where you are. You are in Longcheng. When will no one fight? When will no one be hacked to death? Go to jail? What kind of people are there? Wretched and abusive people, people like you, cowardly, cowardly, and people who are afraid of death."

Ni Qiu slid down, and Zhou You grabbed his collar: "I thought you were a good person, but you are not, you are a wimp."

"Your mother hits you, and you don't resist because he is your mother, but because you dare not. You go to see Boss Mao's mother not because of your kindness. You have kindness, but because no one is willing to look at you except her." "Zhou You laughed, "Ni Qiu, do you know that she is blind."

Ni Qiu covered the wound on his stomach with both hands, Zhou You let go of him, spat, and strode away.

Ni Qiu sat on the ground, he was dizzy and had a headache. There were four corpses beside him, blood was everywhere on the ground, and he also saw a person's intestines coming out of his stomach.He wanted to vomit, but when Luo Zhengnan and Fei Jue arrived, he vomited it out.
