Clear Feather of the Ring

Yi Yi in his arms was hugged too tightly, his small paws desperately scratched Long Tianyu's arm, screaming desperately while scratching, looking like he was greatly frightened.

With a "squeak", Long Tianyu pushed open the wooden door of the bookstore, and walked in with a sharp dog barking.

The bookstore was quiet, and Long Tianyu's entry broke the tranquility of the store. Many people poked their heads out from above the bookshelves to see what happened.

Long Tianyu glanced over the rows of bookshelves, quickly scanned the entire first floor, and finally settled on the stairs on the side of the room, which must lead to the second floor.

He raised his legs and was about to go there, but was pulled from behind by the shop assistant who rushed over: "Sir, this is a bookstore and needs a quiet environment. Could you please take your dog out for a while?" ?”

Long Tianyu shook off the clerk's hand holding his arm, and walked straight to the stairs, ignoring the warnings of the clerk following behind.All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the bookstore, and some customers started to stand up and help the clerk to stop Long Tianyu.As soon as he was about to reach the stairs, the clerk rushed in front of Long Tianyu and stood on the stairs with one arm, blocking the entrance to the stairs: "Sir, this is a private residence, please stop." .”

"Get out of the way." Long Tianyu got a little angry, and every minute and every second he wasted below made himself burn with uncontrollable anger.He just wanted to run upstairs immediately to see that person, to see his face clearly, and anyone who blocked him from seeing him was courting death.

The clerk was just a young girl in her twenties. Usually, the customers who came to the bookstore were young students, and most of them were gentle and polite. This was the first time I met a customer like Long Tianyu.Although she was already trembling with fright after the tearing just now, she still mustered up the courage to stand on the stairs, blocking the only entrance to the stairs with her thin body: "I will not let you die. So, I’m going to call the police.”

"Hurry up, get out of the way, don't force me to do it." Long Tianyu put Yi Yi in his arms on the ground, and stretched out his hand to pull the girl down.

A few people who looked like college students had already surrounded him. Seeing that Long Tianyu was about to make a move, they rushed up and hugged Long Tianyu's waist with all their strength and dragged him outside.Long Tianyu became angry all of a sudden, no matter who was holding him, he would hit anyone who was in his way.All of a sudden, a pot of porridge was messed up in the bookstore. Long Tianyu and several people scuffled into a ball, knocking over several rows of bookshelves, and spilling books all over the floor.

After all, those few brave students were still weak students. They were defeated after a while, and watched as Long Tianyu pulled the clerk down and rushed upstairs.

Long Tianyu pushed the door, but the door was not locked, and it was pushed open all at once.He walked in, his heart curled up nervously.The room was quiet, and the feet stepped on the wooden floor, making a small "da da" sound.Long Tianyu looked towards the balcony first, but there was no one there, only the kettle he had seen before was left on the floor of the balcony, standing quietly in the water stains.

A wind blew in from the balcony, shaking the white curtains of the windows on all sides of the room, and the white gauze fluttered, filled with light and shadow, like a dream.Long Tianyu walked into the room, "Is...is anyone there?" Long Tianyu pursed his dry lips and called into the silent room.

He stood there, held his breath, and waited nervously for a while, for fear of missing any sound in the room.

No, no one answered.

"Yi Qing?..." In the air, the smell of green grass from the afternoon sun came from the balcony, faintly penetrated into his nostrils, itchy and irritating, Long Tianyu sucked his nostrils: "It's you ?"

Yi Qing, is that you?Answer me quickly, say quickly, it's you.

Still no one in the room responded.Could it be that the man just went out when he came here from the cafe?You are so good at kung fu, how could you miss it, how can you miss it? !

He eagerly turned around in the empty room, trying to find clues that could reveal the owner's information from the things placed in the room.There was a long white sofa in the spacious living room. There was a stack of thick books on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Long Tianyu picked up the top one and flipped through it. It was full of unintelligible French.Long Tianyu flipped through it for a while, not knowing that the owner of the book hadn't had time to read it, so he put them here. There was not a single mark in the book, and there was no handwriting that could be used to identify people.

Long Tianyu put those books back where they were, and saw the door on the side of the living room, which should be the door to the bedroom.My intuition told me that there must be something I was looking for.He walked over and held the doorknob with his hand. With a slight twist, he could open the door, and he would know the answer.

"One", Long Tianyu counted softly in his heart, and carefully twisted the hand holding the doorknob to the right.

"Two", the sweat from the palm of the hand wet the doorknob, and it was slippery. Long Tianyu had to increase the strength of his hands before turning the handle. "Crack", the sound of the door opening.

"Three", Long Tianyu took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

He was about to go in, but at this moment he heard messy footsteps coming up, and when he turned around, he saw several uniformed policemen rushing over and pounced on him.

Until he was escorted downstairs by the police, Long Tianyu didn't have a chance to look into that bedroom for a second time.

In fact, with one more glance, one more glance, he will see that on the bedside table, in the photo frame neatly placed, it was the day when he and Yi Qing were at the film festival many years ago, standing in front of Snowman's work group photo.

When Yi Qing came back at night, he found something unusual in the bookstore as soon as he entered the door.Usually at this time, the bookstore has already turned off the lights and closed, but today at this time the lights are still on.

This afternoon, I took a temporary call and went out to deal with an urgent matter, and I have been busy until now before I come back.Halfway through, I received a call from the clerk Xiaojing, who was crying and talking inside. Yi Qing didn't hear it clearly when he was outside, so he could only comfort the little girl to wait in the store first, and then talk about it when she came back after finishing her work. .

Yi Qingchao walked around the bookstore, and saw several rows of bookshelves standing crookedly, a large piece of books scattered on the ground, and Xiao Jing was squatting on the ground to pack the books.

"Xiao Jing, what happened?" Yi Qing straightened several crooked bookcases one by one, and asked.

"Boss, are you back?" Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Jing immediately stood up from the ground and put the book in her hand on the shelf. "Boss, as soon as you left this afternoon, a person broke into the store and made trouble. Several people and I failed to stop it, and even injured a few people who came to help me. Look, these bookshelves, and the floor These books were knocked down when they were fighting."

While talking, Xiao Jing wanted to squat down to pick up books.Yi Qing saw that it was already dark outside, so he hurriedly pulled Xiao Jing back: "It's getting late, let's save these and come to clean them up tomorrow. What about the troublemaker, how did you solve it later?"

"That man must go up to the second floor, and several people and I couldn't stop him. Then he went up, and I quickly called the police. Boss, did you forget to close the door when you went out? That man entered your room, the police When I got there, he hadn’t left yet. Later, he was taken away by the police. When he left, I had someone search him. Don’t worry, boss, he didn’t take anything from your room.” The little boy Jing finished the matter in one breath, looked at Yi Qing's face carefully, and added a sentence in a low voice as if afraid of being blamed: "I'm sorry, boss, I didn't stop it. I don't know who that person is It's not a mental illness, I have to go to the second floor for no reason..."

"Okay, as long as people are fine. Next time you encounter such a thing, you should call the police directly, and don't confront people head-on. It's too dangerous for a girl to do this." Yi Qing frowned slightly at the books on the floor. , "Do you know which police station that person was sent to?"

"It seems to be the Yixi Police Station. However, a little later, a woman came over and said it was the person's secretary or something. She left a sum of money as compensation, and then left." Xiao Xiao After Jing finished speaking, she hurried to the cashier again, took out a stack of banknotes from the drawer, and handed them to Yi Qing: "There are so many. It's enough to buy all the books in our store."

Yi Qing glanced at the banknote in Xiaojing's hand in a hurry, and urged: "You go back tonight, it won't be safe if you are later. Is someone coming to pick you up?"

"It's okay, it doesn't matter. My house is only five alleys away from our store, and I'll be there soon. Boss, I'll go first, and I'll clean up these leftover books tomorrow." Put the money back into the drawer, locked it with a key, and handed it to Yi Qing, and then walked out of the store with the small bag.

Yi Qing glanced at the dark sky outside, thought for a while, and finally pulled to the store door, rode on the bicycle in front of the store, and chased him out.After riding for a few minutes, I overtook Xiao Jing at a small intersection. When the car "squeaked" and braked suddenly beside the girl, she was so frightened that she hugged her head reflexively.

"Get in the car, I'll see you off."

Only then did Xiao Jing put down the hand she was holding on her head, opened her eyes, and saw the people next to her clearly through the street light, and then she turned her shock into joy: "Boss, you...why are you here?"

"Sit in the back seat of me. Which alley is your home in?" Faced with the girl's sweet smile, Yi Qing just nodded lightly, then pointed to the back seat, signaling the girl to sit on it.

Xiao Jing was flattered and sat on it, and then pointed to the front: "Turn left at the alley ahead, then go straight ahead, just pass two intersections."

It was late autumn, and the wind at night brought coolness, blowing the open white shirt of the cyclist, the corners of the clothes flying, brushing the face of the girl behind him, and smelling the faint fragrance of laundry detergent.Gradually, the girl's face turned red.

Yi Qing rode the bike fast, the whistling wind in his ears stimulated the restless blood in his body, if there was no one sitting behind him, he would have let go of the handle and shouted loudly, and then sprinted at full speed .

The car stopped in front of Xiaojing's house, the girl got off the car seat, straightened her wind-torn hair, lowered her head, and smiled shyly at Yi Qing: "Boss, thank you for taking me home. "

"Go in. You can come to work later tomorrow. You have worked hard today." Yi Qing turned the car, drove out of the alley quickly, turned a corner, and disappeared from the girl's sight.

Xiao Jing stood at the door until the heat on her face was gradually cooled by the wind, then she glanced at the alley where Yi Qing disappeared, and then reluctantly entered the door.
