After Ma Chen retired from the army due to injury, he settled down in Wan'an Town, because his younger sister was studying in Rongxi City, and Wan'an Town is the closest to Rongxi City, and someone introduced him to a job right there. here.

At the beginning, he gave his younger sister tuition fees for one performance, and he needed to recuperate due to his injury, so he could only choose to ask for money instead of assigning work.Although assigning work is the long-term solution, it is not a choice at that time.Now he can only be an assistant policeman, he is just a contract worker without a staff.

The auxiliary police are all kinds of tiring, dirty and troublesome work, and all kinds of benefits and benefits are the work of the establishment staff.However, he is already very satisfied with this job, and how many people who have been discharged from the army have fallen into the guard gate.

When life slowly stabilized, the weather became abnormal.First of all, people who are hot can't stand it. It's okay when they don't go to the police. Staying in an air-conditioned room doesn't have much impact.But the subsequent torrential rain was really terrible. They had to assist the traffic police in all kinds of dredging, and there were endless things to deal with every day. After the torrential rain for a week, he always had all kinds of weird things this week.

Even the meals in the cafeteria at noon every day began to shrink, from three dishes and one soup to a few steamed buns and millet porridge.I heard that if the cafeteria can no longer buy ingredients, it is estimated that there will be no steamed buns, so we can only cook sweet porridge.

The rain stopped this morning, and I thought I could finally catch my breath, but there was another riot.It is an exaggeration to say that it was a riot, but there were a few people who were forced to run out of food because they couldn't do it. The shopping malls were closed, and they had nowhere to buy food if they had money, so they had to choose this kind of violence.If there is one, there are two, so there have been different degrees of mob riots in various regions.

Just finished dealing with a place and managed to suppress the crowd, before returning to the police station to take a breath, a man covered in mud with bandages on his hands came to surrender, saying that a mad dog had bitten him.

Upon inquiry, it turned out to be Leijia Village.

Leijia Village is relatively far away, the whole village is on the middle of the mountain, and the road is not easy to walk.Moreover, those three villages generally dealt with the village chiefs directly, and rarely received reports about things in the villages.

Seeing the sky darken again, it is estimated that a heavy rain is coming.This might start to happen before reaching Leijia Village, so some people in the police station are reluctant to go this way.Their captain had no choice but to let him suffer a little and go on this trip.

Along the way, Li Feng kept talking about how Lei Li and the others rejected them all, how they bullied others, how their relatives refused to recognize them and allowed dogs to bite them, and what they were talking about was simply a poor little bullied boy.

Ma Chen drove the car expressionlessly, not talking to him, let him talk as much as he wanted.His first impression of this man was not good.It wasn't that he felt that his appearance had added trouble to him and increased his workload, but that this man's eyes were flickering, and when he spoke, he emphasized the viciousness of the other party, and his voice was inflated, obviously because he lacked confidence.

Based on his preliminary judgment, it was the family who came to join relatives, but the relatives were unwilling to take him in, so a dispute arose.It is very common to keep dogs in rural areas, and it is instinct for dogs to protect their owners, which is why they bite people.

When we arrived at Leijia Village, the sky was already gloomy as if it was about to collapse, and the tumbling dark clouds showed how terrible the rain would be later.Ma Chen was a little worried that he really wouldn't be able to go home, and he didn't know if his sister would be afraid if she was alone at home.

Following Li Feng to the family he mentioned, Ma Chen saw that he was still a rich man, and he might be a small boss in such a big house.For the nouveau riche in the countryside, it seems that things may be a little tricky.

Hearing the voices outside, Lei Xiao was really annoyed this time.Without waiting for other people to react, he went out and slammed the door open, his gaze shot out like a sharp sword, which made people's legs weak.

Ma Chen's subconscious reaction when he saw someone coming was to stand at attention, draw his stomach and raise his head and chest to salute. It was simply a conditioned reflex for many years. After he saw the clothes on Lei Xiao's body, he realized that he was not in the army now, and he was suddenly at a loss: "Lei, Team Lei, why is it you, this, this is your home?"

There was a flash of surprise in Lei Xiao's eyes, but he turned his eyes directly to Li Feng behind him, staring at Li Feng with cold eyes, until Li Feng's legs were limp and his whole body broke out in cold sweat.

Still stammering: "You, what do you want, what do you want! Let me tell you! I'm not afraid of you when the police are here!"

Yao Ziqing was really speechless about this man's IQ. Didn't you hear that the policeman he called was called Second Brother Lei? That was his former teammate in the army.

He stepped forward and smiled at Ma Chen: "Hello, are you my second brother's comrade-in-arms? What a coincidence"

Seeing a delicate and beautiful man between a teenager and a young man smiled warmly at him, and the chill of being shot by Lei Xiao also dissipated a little: "Hello, my name is Ma Chen, I used to work under Team Lei, and later Transferred away, now retired, working as a police assistant in Wan'an Town"

After speaking, he immediately remembered the purpose of this time, and asked with some hesitation: "Well, this Mr. Li said that he was bitten by a dog."

Yao Ziqing glanced at Li Feng, who was almost unsteady because of the fright of the second brother, and said to Ma Chen: "The door is not a place to talk, come in and sit down and talk slowly, you are still the second brother's first comrade-in-arms who came to the house "

Hearing this, Ma Chen was even more at a loss for what to do. He was the one who came to Team Lei's house for the first time. If the bandits knew about this, they would definitely be envied to death.Although Lei Xiao was young, even a few years younger than some of them, his calm demeanor always made people ignore his real age and subconsciously be convinced.

It was only then that Li Feng realized that he was really shooting himself in the foot. The person he found had something to do with their family!

Lei Xiao didn't care what he was thinking, he turned his head and shouted into the house: "Lei Lang, follow me to take back the house."

As soon as Lei Lang heard this, he regained his energy immediately and hurriedly followed behind the second brother.Lei Zheng and Lu Xueyi were also chasing after them for fear that the world would not be chaotic, so naturally they couldn't miss the excitement.

Lei Li shook his head helplessly, originally the matter was over, why bother to vent his anger on Xiao Wu again.Xiao Wu is Si'er's favorite treasure, if Xiao Wu is to be used for this, it's no wonder Lei Xiao can bear it.

Ma Chen saw a few tall men walking behind Lei Xiao, obviously to fight the crowd, his half foot stepped into the door, either advancing or retreating.

Yao Ziqing shrugged helplessly: "Come in, the second brother is going to take care of the housework. You should be very clear about the temperament of the second brother who has been comrades in arms with him for so many years. He has a sense of proportion and nothing will happen to him."

Ma Chendou was sweating a lot, he's measured...it's no wonder that Boss Lei has a sense of proportion.That's nothing if you don't cry, once you get angry, it will definitely shake the world.But he really didn't have the guts to ask him to dissuade him, so he just pretended that he didn't know, and followed Yao Ziqing into the house.

My feet were covered with mud, and I was embarrassed to go in when I stood at the door when I saw that the house was clean.Fang Jinlei gave him a pair of slippers.It was only then that Ma Chen noticed that apart from an old man with a kind face and kind eyes, there was actually a big, silent man in the room.Although the scar looked a little scary, the man's eyes were calm, which proved that he was not a violent person.

"Grandma, hello, I'm really sorry that this is the first time I came here. I didn't know that this is the home of Team Lei. I didn't buy anything when I came here for the first time. It's really rude."

Grandma smiled kindly, and when Si'er said that this was a comrade in Lei Xiao's army, her smiling eyes narrowed together: "This is Xiao'er's first friend who came to our house, and you also live in Wan'an Town Is it? If it’s so close, we must come to play frequently in the future, don’t be cautious, come and eat watermelon”

Ma Chen watched the watermelon brought by the scarred man and swallowed unconsciously.During the severe drought, fruits and vegetables are very expensive, and there is nothing in the rainstorm. Even if he is willing to spend money, there is no place to buy it. It can be said that he has not eaten fruit for several months.After thanking him immediately, he took it and ate it politely.

Grandma also smiled happily when she saw his delicious food: "It's been hard these days. God will change his face when he says he will. I heard that life in the town is very difficult. The rain stopped today, so there are still riots in many places, right?"

Ma Chen nodded quickly, and told him everything he knew about the town.Those of them who are policemen naturally know more and explained in more detail.

Fang Jinlei sat in a corner and listened quietly, but the worry in his eyes became more serious.It was grandma, who sighed while listening.Yao Ziqing was sitting next to grandma, and Xiao Wu was lying on his lap, quietly, flicking his ears from time to time, his tail was tucked obediently.

Ma Chen observed the reported dog, and saw that even if a stranger came, it didn't bark, and it didn't look like it would go crazy and bite people.But when he knew this was Team Lei's home, he knew that it must be that Li Feng was bitten by the dog because he couldn't defect and make trouble.The dogs raised by Team Lei's family couldn't be native dogs, they must have been trained.Don't ask him why, he just blindly trusts Team Lei!

"What's the dog's name?"

"Little Five" Yao Ziqing touched Xiao Wu's ears and said, "My eldest brother Lei Li, the one who just went upstairs, and the third brother Lei Lang, one of the ones who just went out with the second brother, I'll give it to you when I come back later." Introduce, I am the fourth child at home, this little guy is naturally the fifth child."

Ma Chen said with a smile: "It seems that you like dogs very much. Xiao Wu seems to be quite obedient. What is the matter that Li Feng said? I have seen his hospital receipt, and it was indeed bitten by a dog."

"Because Li Feng was going to hit my second brother with a shovel, Xiao Wu rushed to bite him, and we sent him to the hospital, and we paid for the medical expenses. I didn't expect him to have the nerve to ask the police to deal with it. Little Five"

She shook her head as she spoke, took Grandma's arm and said, "Look, some people just can't be tolerated. We want to take a step back to save face, but unfortunately, some people just push their feet like this."

Grandma snorted softly and said with disdain: "If they want to do it, let them do it. They deserve it if they are kicked out! It's not worth appeasing!"

Lei Li came down from upstairs, holding a vegetable basket filled with watery fresh vegetables, and said with a smile to Ma Chen: "It's getting late, it's rare to come here once, and I'll eat at home at night, is there any taboo?" , can you eat spicy food?"

Ma Chen quickly stood up and shook his head: "No, don't bother, it's probably going to rain, and my sister is still at home, so I won't bother you."

As soon as the words were finished, the pouring rain suddenly started.Ma Chen looked out of the house in a black line, it was really a coincidence.Fang Jinlei hurriedly got up and closed the door and windows, otherwise the room would get wet soon.

Lei Li laughed twice: "It's raining to keep guests, call your sister and tell me, and bring a meal back when I go back at night."

"No need, really no need, I think I'd better leave first, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave any longer"

I really don't know if the rain will gradually get smaller or it will get bigger and bigger, and it's not easy to stay with others. After all, it doesn't matter if you live alone for a few days, but there is a younger sister in the house, a girl alone at home I will definitely be afraid.

"The weather is bad and it's really not good to stay any longer. You can bring some vegetables home. They are all grown in your own home. Take some back with you."

"No, I really don't need it." Ma Chen hastily rejected grandma's kindness: "I'm leaving now, and I'll come back when the weather clears up next time."

Seeing him, Yao Ziqing stood restlessly and kept looking out for fear of being stuffed with something, and it was funny to refuse: "It's not for you, it's for your sister. I'm afraid there's a shortage of food these days. What's wrong in the countryside? Too much, that is, there are too many dishes, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money, or do you want to wait for the second brother to come back and let the second brother give it to you by himself”

Ma Chen's whole hair stood on end when he said this, and seeing that he couldn't refuse, he had to accept it with a blushing face and embarrassment.Fang Jinlei also helped to pack cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables into a bag and put them in the police car he drove.Lei Li went to the cellar again and took two big watermelons for him to take away.

Ma Chen braved the heavy rain and returned with shame and a car full of things. Seeing that Team Lei's family was so polite, he thought that he would have to pay a formal visit when the rain stopped.

On the other side, when Lei Xiao and the others arrived, Li Wenshan was busy cleaning the house. When she saw someone pressing her father over, she rushed to meet her and was relieved to see that her father's hands had been bandaged. It's all mud, it's really embarrassing.But this group of people are aggressive, and they feel that the visitors are not good.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"What do you think! Do you think I'm fine! They're here to find fault, what about your grandparents!"

Li Wenshan frowned, and seeing her father's angry look, she stopped worrying, and turned to the cousin who had the highest force value and fell the elder brother twice: "Thank you for lending us the house for a while, I'm really sorry, yes It's not that my dad has caused you trouble again, I'm sorry, can I apologize to you on his behalf? I'm really sorry!"

It would be easier for them to solve it if they jumped out and made a fuss, but if they apologize, how should they drive people away?Lei Zheng and the others looked at Lei Xiao tacitly, only waiting for their orders before acting.

Lei Xiao just glanced at Li Wenshan indifferently, and walked around her directly into the room.Seeing a group of people sitting in the middle of the room, each of them showed disgust for the old house, without saying a word, picked up their things and threw them outside: "Now, get out of here!"

Li Xinpeng and the others were dumbfounded. Didn't they agree to let them live in this old house?What does it mean to be contradictory now!

"What do you mean! We have already let us live in an old house, and now we are going to kill them all! Do you still have humanity!"

Lei Xiao ignored him, and glanced at Lei Lang and the others. They immediately understood and stepped forward to do something. Lu Xueyi saw the key on the table with sharp eyes, and hurried forward to take the key.Lei Lang and Lei Zheng threw everything out in two or three strokes, and the dropped bag was covered with mud.

Wan Xiaocui started shouting again, and even jumped on Lei Zheng and the others, scratching and kicking them.Lei Xiao shot a bullet at the crazy woman's feet.Suddenly the whole room was silent, even Lei Lang and the others stopped in a daze, and Li Junyuan fell to the ground in fright.

Lei Xiao approached Li Xinpeng with a gun, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head: "I'll say it again, get out! Don't force me to do it!"

After the gun was put away, he said to Lei Lang and the others: "Throw them out, lock the door and go home" and then turned around and left.

Although Lei Lang and the others were shocked by the things in Lei Xiao's hands, they still acted according to the order, grabbed a few old and young ones whose legs were weak and couldn't stand up, and threw them directly outside the door.

Lu Xueyi locked the door and clapped his hands: "It should have been like this a long time ago. You are shameless and let you stay here, and something will happen. Sure enough, people who are cheap always like to die!"

Lei Lang glanced at Li Wenshan who was standing by the wall with a pale face. This girl is still a good girl, but it is a pity. With such a family, she will probably be dragged down a lot.

Lei Zheng patted Li Wenshan on the shoulder directly: "You are not bad, but it is a pity that you have such a superb family. If you are alone, this house will be for you. Unfortunately, we have already taken a step back. It is your family that insists If you want to die, just do it, the big deal is to stay in Leijia Village forever, the scenery of Leijia Village is still pretty good, although the lonely grave may be a bit bleak."

After speaking, he shrugged and walked back with Lei Lang.

Seeing them walking away, Li Xinpeng fell limply to the ground.

The road was difficult to walk in the heavy rain, and it was dark, and it was almost nine o'clock in the evening when Ma Chen arrived home.Their family lives in a house built illegally on the roof of a private building. The brother and sister live in one room with a curtain in the middle, and the younger sister lives in it.

Ma Xin knew that her brother's working hours were not fixed, and she could hear the noise of crowds and disturbances in some places outside today, so she could hear her in the house. She was always worried about her brother, but she was afraid that calling him would affect her work.It was only at nine o'clock that I heard a voice from outside the door, and I hurriedly opened the door: "Brother! You are finally back, I am so worried! Are you busy with work today? Haven't you eaten yet? I steamed sweet potatoes "

Ma Chen looked at his younger sister amusedly, raising her and making her live happily is his greatest wish in this life: "You just opened the door so casually, what if it wasn't me who came up?"

"How come, after listening to footsteps for so many years, I can still hear your footsteps. What are these? Is it so late when you go shopping today?"

As he said that, he went forward to help with the things, because there was no light, and there were only candles in the room. After taking it, Ma Xin realized that it was a big watermelon, which was so heavy that he almost slipped his hands. He was a little happy but also distressed and said: "Brother, these things are now How expensive, especially since the outside is closed. I went to the vegetable market today to see if there was a stall, but there was no vendor inside. Where did you buy it? Watermelons were priced at 30 yuan a catty before. , I’m afraid this one will cost several hundred?!”

Ma Chen carried all the things into the house, and Ma Xin saw that it was not one watermelon, but two, and a bag full of vegetables. These vegetables can be eaten empty-handed. She has been eating sweet potato porridge for more than a week. .I also ran out of firewood at home, and I couldn't buy any today. Now it's raining again, and I don't know how long it will take this time.

"Brother, don't spend so much money on these. I still have a lot of sweet potatoes and jelly in my house. These are long-lasting, enough to last for a while. When the rain stops, the price will probably drop a bit, and it will be very expensive!"

Ma Chen put his things away, took out a tomato, washed it in water, and stuffed it into his sister's mouth: "Don't worry, I didn't spend any money on it. I'm handling the case today. I didn't know until I got there that it was the home of my former captain. Their family is in the countryside and they have their own land. These things are given by the team leader’s family. When the rain stops, I will take you to their house for a formal visit. Thank you very much.”

Ma Xin couldn't help but squinted his eyes slightly when the sweet and sour tomato entered the mouth.The sour taste is followed by refreshing sweetness.For her who hasn't eaten fruit for a long time, it is simply the enjoyment of the rain after a long drought: "It's delicious!"

Ma Chen chuckled twice: "It's delicious. I grow it myself, without pesticides, and there are some. It's enough for our family to eat for a while. This one is also durable."

Hearing this, Ma Xin looked at his brother with some hesitation, and frowned slightly: "Brother, the landlord came to see me today."

Ma Chen froze his hands as he tidied up his things, he was a little puzzled: "Why are you looking for me? Our family doesn't owe rent."

Ma Xin took another bite, and licked the tomato juice overflowing from the corner of his mouth: "The landlord said that they wanted to take back the house, saying that they planned to grow vegetables on the roof, and would not rent it out. Let us wait for the rain to stop, and find a place to move quickly." go out"

She will be in her junior year soon, and she can come back once a semester. It's okay to live in the school dormitory, but where will my brother live?

Ma Chen rubbed his sister's hair: "Okay, I get it, don't worry about it, I will take care of the house, you can study at ease when school starts"

Ma Xin nodded. In her eyes, her brother is omnipotent.However, after she turned around, Ma Chen's eyes gradually became a little dignified.
