Xu Shanlan

Before disasters come, there is no warning, just like good luck, but people's memory of pain is more profound and lasting, so disasters are more unforgettable.

Gao Yi talked nonsense with his colleagues until he got off work as usual, ate dinner at the police station as usual, worked night shift as usual until now, and walked home as usual.He thought afterwards that if he had agreed to Zhang Liang's request that day, he would have changed shifts with him.But in fact, even if he escaped this catastrophe, he would not be able to escape the next catastrophe. The murderer was clearly premeditated, and it seemed that he planned it for a long time and was very thorough. This can be seen from the location chosen by the other party and the way he did it. No matter what, Gao Yi couldn't get around this hurdle.

Gao Yi heard the wind, he is also a policeman after all, and he is also a bit skilled. Although his waistline is a bit thick after eating fat and drinking after work, his reaction is still not as fast as usual.He immediately dodged to the side, and subconsciously raised his arms to carry it.

That blow hit Gao Yi's forearm firmly, and he only heard a soft sound of bone shattering, followed by a burst of heart-piercing pain.Gao Yi let out an "ah" in pain, but was stopped just as he yelled.The other party had expected that he would call for help, so he grabbed the hem of Gao Yi's jacket and twisted it upwards, strangling Gao Yi's throat, and suppressed the call forcefully.Gao Yi could barely catch his breath, his back was facing the murderer, and he couldn't see his face clearly at all.Gao Yi was suffocated and his chest was tight, he opened his mouth like a dying fish, raised two uninjured fingers, poked back hard, and went straight to the opponent's door.This move is a fighting style handed down from the predecessors. If you poke your finger straight at the eyes of the person behind you, the opponent will definitely dodge back. Naturally, the force of pinching him will relax, and Gao Yi can take the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, the other party reacted more quickly. This thrust not only missed the gap, but the man leaned forward, directly clasped the other wrist with the stripped Gao Yi's police uniform, and then pressed down on his back. Acupuncture point.

Gao Yi only felt limp and weak all over, so he fell to the ground.He was also really tough, regardless of the pain in his broken arm, he twisted his waist and was about to turn over.The other party had already expected that at the moment when Gao Yi was about to turn over, a blunt weapon roared towards him, and the other arm was ruthlessly smashed off with a "gaba".At the same time, he touched Gao Yi's throat with his toes, blocking the scream in his throat.

Gao Yi was sweating profusely from the pain, his arms were folded, he writhed and struggled on the ground, rubbing forward little by little.He could really feel that the other party was not far away from him, and he walked forward slowly.He was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he opened his throat to call for help, and there was a tearing pain in his throat.The man's strength was controlled extremely well, just enough to make his throat damaged and unable to make a sound, and it was not difficult to breathe.

Gao Yi was covered in dirt and dripping with cold sweat. He barely propped up his upper body on his shoulders, and struggled to stand up with his legs bent.At this moment, he felt his back sinking, and the person stepped on his back with one foot, at an extremely weird angle, which just made Gao Yi's jaw and chest close to the ground, unable to move at all.Gao Yi suddenly understood the other party's intentions, and hissed: "No... Please, no..." Before he could utter the last word, the sudden sharp pain in his leg made his mouth taste sweet, and the moan stuck in his mouth. throat.Immediately, the other party slapped again, Gao Yi was so painful that his whole body tended to go numb, gold stars appeared in front of his eyes.Unconsciously, he raised his head and looked up with the last bit of strength, only to see a pair of feet walking in front of him, and then he disappeared.

From Gao Yi's attack to the loss of his limbs, it was only 2 minutes. From the beginning to the end, he only uttered an inaudible pleading. He didn't see the murderer's appearance clearly, and he didn't even bleed out a little blood.Clean and neat yet cruel and vicious.The surroundings are still very quiet, the moonlight is cold and innocent, blending with the dim street lamps, it is gloomy and listless.

Cong Zhanyi watched quietly for a while. The people on the ground were lying face down, and the police uniforms were so dirty and torn that they couldn't see their original appearance.He walked slowly to a public telephone hall at the corner of the street, and pressed the alarm number one by one, and a mechanical, cold woman's voice came from there: "Please dial 119 for the fire alarm, 110 for the police, and 112 for the emergency center." ...".

Cong Zhanyi listened patiently, but there was another call, but no one answered.He looked back at the policeman lying on the ground, suddenly felt that this was really ironic, couldn't help but smiled, dropped the phone, let it continue to ring, turned and sat in his car.

When he returned to Gong Kai's house, it was exactly an hour, no more and no less, exactly as planned.

Gong Kai opened the door lightly, as if he was afraid of scaring someone, but he was actually scared.When Cong Zhanyi came back, it was absolutely different from when he first went out, and Gong Kai couldn't tell what was different all of a sudden.Cong Zhanyi was still wearing the sportswear, was still carrying the same backpack, and the hat he took off and handed to him was still the same.

But Gong Kai felt that Cong Zhanyi was different. He seemed to be in a very happy mood. Although his face was still expressionless, his eyes were surprisingly deep.Gong Kai met those eyes, panicked for no reason, and said, "Brother Cong...you...you are back..."

Cong Zhanyi ignored him, changed his slippers and went to the bathroom slowly.Then she took off her upper body clothes and turned on the faucet with her back bare.

Gong Kai knew that Cong Zhanyi had gone out to do something "shameful", otherwise he would not have emphasized that he should be a witness, but he didn't know what he was doing, and he couldn't guess it.The door of the bathroom was open, and directly opposite was the washbasin, on which was hung a mirror that took up half of the wall.With his back to Gong Kai, Cong Zhanyi washed his hands bit by bit, inch by inch, but his deep eyes were refracted from the mirror, fixed on Gong Kai's face closely.His expression was a little sarcasm, a little sharp, a little deterrent, and there was also a hint of violence and ferocity.

The water was rushing, Gong Kai was frightened by Cong Zhanyi's stare, he was at a loss, and finally waited for Cong Zhanyi to dry his hands and come out.Gong Kai quickly said: "Brother Cong, "Red Cherry" was shown on TV just now, and there is a video tape of this movie, I'll buy it tomorrow and you can watch it again, it's very interesting."

Cong Zhanyi stared at Gong Kai meaningfully for a while, then said, "Thank you."

Gong Kai didn't expect him to be able to thank him, his heart softened just now, and he said softly, "Brother Cong, the mung bean porridge I made has been kept warm, let me serve you a bowl."

That night, Cong Zhanyi made an exception and slept at Gong Kai's side. Although it was only in another room, Xu Shanlan was already shocked, even though he didn't know where the elder brother lived.

Xu Shanlan climbed into bed early and couldn't sleep, just waiting for the sound of the senior brother's car driving into the yard, or the soft footsteps in the corridor, or he would quietly push the door in and stand by his bed for a while. meeting.

It's a pity that since the two of them broke up in the practice room, these little secret behaviors have disappeared.Cong Zhanyi didn't go home for several days, and only called when he was about to eat dinner, but told Aunt Chen to let Xu Shanlan eat by himself and not come back at night.

Xu Shanlan was depressed and remorseful, and couldn't cheer up for school.He also had to rehearse the dance with Luo Yanan after school, and he made mistakes every now and then, which made everyone unhappy.During the break, Luo Yanan asked him: "Are you okay?"

Xu Shanlan shook his head. He lay flat on the concrete platform of the balcony, with his head resting on his arms, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sky. His body was stretched and slender.Luo Yanan sat at his feet, frowning: "Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Xu Shanlan still didn't answer, and sighed leisurely.Luo Yanan rolled his eyes, and said cautiously: "It can't be... your senior brother..."

Xu Shanlan glanced at her: "How do you know?"

"Can you hide other things from me?" Luo Yanan folded his hands on his chest and swayed his legs, "Tell me, what happened?"

Xu Shanlan turned over and sat next to Luo Yanan: "He is angry with me and hasn't come home for several days."

"What did you do to make your brother so angry? Never did it?"

Xu Shanlan shrugged: "I said I don't want to practice anymore."

Luo Yanan rolled his eyes and scolded: "You, what do you want me to say about you? Isn't it because of you that your brother forced you to practice kung fu? Look at what else do you do besides sleeping? Do you want your brother to support you for the rest of your life? ?"

Xu Shanlan sighed: "I know I know, I know I was wrong, it's not that I haven't found a chance to admit my mistake to him yet." It's not easy to say this from Xu Shanlan's mouth, this kid is very stubborn, and he was beaten They don't let go easily.

"Then you can call." Luo Yanan advised him, "Your brother is so kind to you, and you can still hold grudges."

Xu Shanlan plucked his hair irritably. He particularly disliked the relationship between himself and Cong Zhanyi, but he needed others to tell him what to do. He thought it was their business. Who in the world could understand each other better than them?He said impatiently: "Okay, let's go to dance practice." He jumped off the high platform.

The program they prepared was a break dance, which was very dynamic.Originally, Xu Shanlan and Luo Yanan joined later, but one has a foundation in martial arts, and the other loves sports and has good body coordination, so they can learn faster than those girls.After all, high school students are pure-minded, and we share joys and sorrows together, and their relationship develops very quickly. There is no one pointing at Xu Shanlan and Luo Yanan behind their backs anymore.

Their school is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The newly appointed principal said that he must prepare well, select the best programs to present, and invite parents of the students to visit the school's newly completed auditorium and commend some outstanding students. student.

Of course Xu Shanlan wasn't the one to be commended, it was an honor only for a child like Luo Yanan who is excellent in character and learning, especially in academics, but the performance was not bad either.Xu Shanlan has never performed in an entertaining way in front of the public, and he feels a little nervous, not to mention that when the big brother has to come and watch his performance below, it feels even weirder and a little timid, But still a little excited.

But the most urgent task at the moment is how to notify the big brother of the date of the school celebration performance.

In the past, this would not be a problem at all, when eating, practicing, sleeping at night, anytime, Cong Zhanyi would definitely agree.

But now it is different from the past, I guess the elder brother can agree, but how to tell him, Xu Shanlan has made a difficult situation, because the elder brother will not go home at all.

The first choice, of course, is to make a phone call.But Xu Shanlan didn't dare, he picked up the phone and put it down, picked it up again after putting it down, tossed and turned for half an hour, so Aunt Chen thought the phone was broken, so she came here to ask.Xu Shanlan replied: "It's not broken, it's not broken." He ran back to his room quickly.

In the end, the call was never made.Xu Shanlan circled around the bed, frowning and pursing his lips for a while, as if he was competing with someone.Later, he simply leaned back, threw himself on the bed, rolled around, and sighed in his heart: Tell me, why is it so difficult to do something?so difficult?

He sat up suddenly from the bed, waved his fist at the air, let's do this, what else!Get up and run downstairs.

Aunt Chen was serving food in the restaurant, when she saw Xu Shanlan running out like a rabbit, she hurriedly called out, "Lanzi is going to eat, where are you going?"

"I have something to do, come back to eat later!" Xu Shanlan waved his hand and ran away in a hurry.

Xu Shanlan went directly to Cong Zhanyi's company, even if he apologized, Xu Shanlan thought reluctantly, he had to be a little sincere, didn't he?Is it sincere to come face to face?

Unexpectedly, when he came to the company, he was in vain. Secretary Qiu Tian pushed Jinsi's eyes and said politely: "Mr. Cong has gone to Gaode Hotel, why don't you call him first?"

"Oh——" Xu Shanlan scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, and smiled shyly, "No, I'd better find him by myself, it's not too far anyway." Turning around and running away.

Qiu Tian thought for a while, picked up his cell phone and called Cong Zhanyi.

Cong Zhanyi was about to go out to socialize with Jin Baocheng and a few bosses when Gong Kai also came and followed him obediently.When Cong Zhanyi answered the phone, his expression remained motionless, and no one around him noticed anything.He cut off the call, turned around and asked others: "Let's wait a while, my brother is coming."

"Oh? Brother Ling is here too? Alright, haha." Cong Zhanyi was unfamiliar with everyone, and he didn't want to get close. He didn't expect to have a younger brother.As for the type of "brother", it's hard to say, at least the younger brother should not go out with them to socialize anyway.Everyone winked at each other and laughed, even a little curious.
