The wicked have their own evil

winter solstice.

Zitong closed the store at 06:30 in the evening, and Zhu Yuanyuan went shopping with her sisters with a smile on her face, holding the red envelopes from the boss.

Zhang Chi was already waiting for him leisurely outside, holding many glutinous rice balls in his hand.He stood lazily, with his upper collar twisted and crooked, and the buttons were not buttoned properly, half exposing his stiff and strong chest.He was used to being free, but Zitong didn't like it, so he buttoned up all his top buttons with a dark face.

Mr. Zhang was very happy in his heart, so he pretended to be serious and asked Zitong to tidy up his shirt.Zitong slapped his hands a little harder, pulling up his collar as if punishing him.

Zhang Chi pretended to beg for mercy, "Hey baby, don't talk about it, what if you tear up your new clothes?"

Zitong: "If you dress like this, it's better not to wear it at all."

Zhang Chixuan said with a straight face, "My body is yours, how can you let others see it?"

Although the brothers are a little bit used to the boss's appearance of a daughter-in-law forgetting his brothers, they still can't stop the goose bumps on their arms.They sat in the warehouse for a day, and they were already playing cards. When they saw the boss and sister-in-law coming, they stood up and hurriedly took the glutinous rice balls handed over by the boss, and asked cautiously, "Who cooked it?"

Boss Zhang pointed at Zitong, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Chi squinted his eyes, slapped them on the head mercilessly, and threatened: "My wife and I have worked so hard all morning, if you don't finish eating for me, I will practice my fists for me."

The brothers shook their heads like a drum, "Sister-in-law cooked it, how could I not finish it?"

There was still a piece of glutinous rice balls left, which was given to Shen Hua at the hospital.

It was about half an hour's journey from the warehouse to the hospital, and Zhang Chi was chattering non-stop, most of which revolved around Shen Hua's next talk.

Zitong directly cut off his words, looked up at him, and said, "You are really kind to him."

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's okay."

Zitong asked: "I'm curious, what is he to you?"

Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, really thought about it, and answered seriously: "Fate."

He felt Zitong's hand tremble slightly, squeezed his hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "I really thought so before. Brother Hua," he paused, and continued, "I am very grateful to him, He picked up the lives of me and my sister, and I will pay back this debt sooner or later."

Zi Tong pursed her lips and asked softly, "Why do you pay him back? Are you going to give him your life back?"

His question was a bit sarcastic, so Zhang Chi could only touch his nose and said, "I really thought so before, anyway, Brother Hua promised to protect my sister well, and even if she dies, I will pay him back."

As he spoke, Zi Tong's face became more and more serious, and he hurriedly said: "But it's different now. Now that I have you, it means that half of my life is in your hands. How dare I get rid of it?" .”

half?

Zitong: "..." He didn't feel happy, so he let go of Zhang Chi's hand, and then pressed him against the wall. Yes", if this kind of words were placed on Zhang Chi, it would definitely be easier to say, but for someone like Zi Tong who has not been in love for a hundred years, it is really difficult to say it.

Zhang Chi also took advantage of the moment of pressing, grabbed the back of the hand that was holding his chest, and interlocked his fingers brazenly.He looked at Zitong's frosty and pretty face, and he was still a little bit pleased with his daughter-in-law's jealousy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Hua is so kind to me, why is he willing to let me give his life away?"

In fact, Shen Hua is not all benefactors to him, he is still one of his family members.In the end, if you don't pay back the debt, you will never feel at ease.

He sighed softly, and gently held Zitong in his arms.He could feel that every time Shen Hua was mentioned, Zi Tong's complexion would turn slightly gloomy.This is also where he is puzzled. Zi Tong and Shen Hua are in different environments, and there shouldn't be any conflicts.

But if the reason is on his side, it seems to be justifiable and something is wrong.

Zitong asked: "Then if both he and I were injured, who would you save first?"

Zhang Chi: "..." Why is this question so familiar, it seems to be similar to "Your mother and I fell into the water, who will you save first?"

"...I said baby, this question shouldn't come out of your mouth."

Zitong: "..."

-

They have come to the hospital and entered the ward.Then Zitong let go of his hand and stood aside.Zhang Chi didn't care, and put the glutinous rice balls aside.

"Hua brother."

Shen Hua was lying on the pillow reading a newspaper, when he heard Zhang Chi's voice, he raised his head, took off his glasses, and parted his lips slightly.

"Achi, here we come."

As soon as Zhang Chi opened the lid, the rich smell of glutinous rice balls filled the air.

"sweet dumpling?"

Zhang Chi grinned, "Today is the winter solstice, brother Hua, forgot?"

Shen Hua calmly said: "No, I just want to ask who cooked this?"

The tone of this question was not turbulent, as if asking about ordinary things, but Zhang Chi's cooking skills are well known, and he really didn't get enough of it with a few mouthfuls.Zhang Chi shrugged and didn't care anymore, instead he asked the right question.With a playful smile, he pushed Zitong to the front and pointed at him, "He."

Shen Hua put the newspaper on his knees, turned his eyes to Zitong who was silent, and a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes, "Who is this?"

Zhang Chi took the opportunity to introduce: "I have been chasing after a long time to catch up with my daughter-in-law."

Shen Hua knew about his sexual orientation very early on, so he didn't have much opinion on it.What made him slightly stunned was that he looked a lot like a person.He looked up at Zitong for a while, and then seemed to feel that he should not stare at others for so long, his lips moved, and then closed again.

Zhang Chi handed the glutinous rice balls to the small table, and as soon as he carried them to the hospital bed, the phone rang from his trouser pocket.

"I'll go out and answer the phone first."

Without Zhang Chi, there was a silent and embarrassing atmosphere in the ward for an instant.Zitong just stood there quietly, with no expression on his face, and put his hands behind his back, clenched slightly.

After Shen Hua coughed, he looked at the chair and said softly, "Sit down."

-

Before Zitong's stool was warmed up, Zhang Chi walked in and said, "Baby, let's go."

Zitong looked at him in confusion.

Zhang Chi said: "That little idiot in your shop just called me for help."

Zitong's face darkened, "Don't call her that." Even so, he walked over and intertwined with Zhang Chi naturally.

"Brother Hua, the heart has been delivered, and we will leave first."

Shen Hua paused for a moment, his eyes vaguely filled with other thoughts, and after scanning them once, he nodded, "Okay."

"What did Brother Hua talk to you about?"

Zitong raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said calmly, "He said that I look very much like an old friend of his."

"Old man?"

"Ah."

Zhang Chi asked curiously, "How similar is it?"

"I asked too, but he couldn't answer."

"Hey, why didn't I know Brother Hua has an old friend who looks like you?"

Zitong glanced at him, "How many things do you know?"

Zhang Chi was dissatisfied, "Honey, I don't like what you said."

Zitong didn't care whether he was happy or not, so he changed the topic, "You are still so leisurely, didn't Yuanyuan call you just now?"

Zhang Chi kissed him on the lips and grinned: "I'm leaving first, remember to keep the bed warm until I come back at night."

Zitong: "..."

It was pitch black, and the bustling street crowds gradually dwindled.He turned a corner and looked at the sugar store across the street, but there was no movement.He suddenly felt a little anxious, and cursed secretly.

He remembered the phone call Zhu Yuanyuan had just made to him, and the panic and daze in that tone was even worse than the last time the old snake came.

"Brother Chi, can you come over here, I'm a little scared."

"what happened?"

"Yes, there are a few men looking for me outside..." Zhu Yuanyuan spoke a little unclearly, and only held the phone tightly, as if it was the only life-saving talisman.She didn't dare to turn on the light, seeing in the darkness, only heard a few rough and violent voices from outside, full of obscenities.She closed her eyes, as if she had lived the fearful days of hiding in Tibet a few years ago.

Like an armadillo, she shrank herself in a corner full of dust, as if she had set up a protective cover for herself.

She was terrified now, but she didn't know who to turn to. The first thing she thought of was Zhang Chi.

Although Zhang Chi is a rascal, he usually bullies her a lot, not to mention being so angry that his chest is blocked.But at critical moments, he played a reliable role.

He is like a reliable and trustworthy big brother, who values ​​love and righteousness, and relies on Fang Gang.

"Where are you?"

"Home, I'm home."

If Zhang Chi remembered correctly, Zhu Yuanyuan lived behind the Tangshui shop, turning around two dark alleys.The alley is too damp and dark, and only one person can pass through. When you walk in, you will easily encounter the tiled walls covered with unpleasant moss, and you will be greeted with an unbearable musty smell one after another.

He frowned, it's not that he hasn't lived in this kind of place before, when he and his sister were hiding from enemies, they also lived in a place worse than a garbage dump with a strong smell.

He turned a corner and was about to go down an alley, when he suddenly heard a few unbearable loud voices, standing outside the dilapidated iron gate, there were probably three or four men holding long-handled knives, and even two men were laughing and walking towards the long Drizzle paint on the moldy walls.

He took a look, and in this pile of extremely ugly fonts, he could only see a few words - what's the point of a daughter paying back for her father?

He glanced at them lazily, and he probably knew who was responsible for this kind of vile and dirty means.

He lazily shouted a few times, "A few big men bully a little girl, is it embarrassing?"

As soon as he spoke, he saw them turn their heads abruptly, and saw Zhang Chi standing in front of them with his hands crossed.

The men present knew Zhang Chi well, so they were always a bit cautious. Only this younger brother, who had just arrived not long ago, took two steps forward and pretended to curse: "It's none of your mother's business."

Zhang Chi rubbed his nose, smiled lowly, and made up a random word, "It is said that slaves follow the master, hey, this word is really correct for you."

Before the younger brother could react, Zhang Chi punched his nose. He felt his nose was hot, and when he touched it with his hand, he saw nosebleeds. fell to the ground.

Zhang Chi looked down at him, lazily stepped on his stomach with his right foot, and crushed him a few times viciously.Zhang Chi sniffled, and looked at them who were tense and sullen.

"Didn't you remember what I said last time?" Zhang Chi smiled kindly, but there was a hint of sternness in his eyes, and he reminded them again with good intentions, saying word by word: "Don't, cross the line, close Usury. Which word do you not understand? Should I send you back to elementary school for remaking at a loss?"

A bald man with a long knife took two steps forward, frowned and said, "Boss Zhang, don't make things difficult for us, we are only responsible for collecting money."
