we want to be happy

On a hot and windless day in summer, a thin layer of gray clouds hang over the city, stubborn and sticky, wrapping densely packed high-rise buildings.

Cars one after another on the cobweb-like road are like ants moving house.Occasionally being stopped by traffic lights, both the driver and the person in the car are slightly irritable.

In this kind of bad weather, you can't see the blue sky and white clouds. Take a breath, mixed with exhaust gas and suspended dust, and even the white shirt you wear looks dirty, so you can't blame people for being upset.

Although the greenery on both sides of the road is good, these trees and flowers are just a drop in the bucket for this city surrounded by pollution.

A bicycle seems to fly past a long line of cars stuck in the road.The young man on the bike was sweating, his brows were frowning, and the back of his T-shirt was soaked, leaving an oval mark.

Jian Shaoyong sat comfortably in the air-conditioned car.A neat light blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up in half casually.He raised his left wrist to look at the time, a cheap but very low-key and simple watch refracted the light outside the window.

Wen Xiaonan leaned on the car window and looked out, feeling a small spot of light flashing again.Turning his head and smiling at Jian Shaoyong, he said, "Are you in a hurry?"

Jian Shaoyong touched his head, "Don't worry, Chen Cang and the others have already arrived first, and they won't lose their target with Cai Fei." Looking at the two brothers, they looked like curious babies and observed with relish Looking at the road and pedestrians outside, Jian Shaoyong asked with a smile, "Do you remember what happened when you were young?"

Wen Xiaobei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head, "I remember, but I can't remember clearly."

"Do you remember where home is?"

Wen Xiaonan shook his head firmly, "I don't remember."

Wen Xiaobei glanced at his younger brother without saying a word, then turned back to do the job.It took a long time before he said: "The outside world has changed a lot."

The outside world has changed a lot indeed.

The development of the city is changing with each passing day. Not to mention that the two brothers have been locked up in the research institute for more than seven years, even if they have been away for two years and come back, they will be turned upside down.

Economic development is a double-edged sword. While it brings convenience to people's lives, it also has a bad side.Air pollution, soaring prices, dense housing, traffic jams, etc.

However, there is also a bright side.For example, the farmer's market they are going to today used to be a completely barren suburban vegetable field.Now take a short section of the highway out of the city, and it's straight down. , A large row of blue-roofed markets, divided into aquatic seafood halls, fresh meat halls, vegetable halls, fruit halls, and daily necessities, home decoration, building materials, and even electronic products. .

The market management policy of both wholesale and retail not only attracts merchants from all over the world, but also attracts many citizens.

When the car drove to the entrance of the market, it was discovered that the roadside entering the parking lot had been occupied by various unlicensed vendors.Piles of fresh vegetables or fruits are piled directly on the ground, coupled with the bustling crowd, it is almost impossible for cars to move here.

The driver honked the horn a few times, but there were too many people visiting the market, and Jian Shaoyong said, "Forget it, even if you park in this kind of place for a while, it's hard to get out. Let's get off here. Find a good place to park your car outside."

The driver was amnesty, "Then I will come to you after I park the car."

Jian Shaoyong smiled, "No, you can go around or take a break by yourself, we will work quickly, just wait for my call."

After finishing speaking, Wen Xiaonan was about to get out of the car, but Wen Xiaonan secretly pulled his shirt sleeves, "So many people..."

Aware of Xiao Nan's worries, Jian Shaoyong patted his hand comfortingly, "It's okay, I'm here." After thinking for a while, he turned sideways and leaned into Xiao Nan's ear and said, "You can also try Can you block it yourself?"

"No, many people, I'm afraid..."

Jian Shaoyong opened the door and held Wen Xiaonan's hand, "You have to believe in yourself."

Wen Xiaobei had already jumped out of the car, bent down and knocked on the rear door, "Xiao Nan, come quickly, there are dragonflies."

This kind of hot and humid weather, especially after another heavy rain yesterday, naturally there are dragonflies.

There is still a lot of unoccupied land around the farmer's market. No one cultivates or builds houses. There are only clusters of weeds.After Wen Xiaonan got off the car, he squinted his eyes and looked at it with great interest. Sure enough, there were dragonflies flying around everywhere.

"Brother. Do you still remember the dragonflies I caught when I was a child?" Wen Xiaonan took Wen Xiaobei's arm, pointed to a "small helicopter" hovering above their heads, and said excitedly.

"Remember, I still remember secretly bringing dragonflies home because the teacher said dragonflies would eat mosquitoes."

"That's right, that's right, we caught several...but they were all thrown away by my mother." Wen Xiaonan suddenly thought of something, and held his brother's arm even tighter, "Father even gave us a hard time."

Jian Shaoyong followed behind them, leisurely reading the memories of the two brothers.When they were teenagers, Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei were innocent and innocent, but they also had the naughty nature of boys... oh?Wen Xiaobei can climb trees?Still secretly picking mulberries from the neighbor's house?Can Xiao Nan lie to her parents so calmly, and refuse to admit that they picked the fruit?

interesting.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Jian Shaoyong still seemed to be strolling in the crowded crowd.Although both his dress and his temperament are so out of tune with the vegetable market.

The two brothers hadn't been to the market for a long time, and seeing all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits instantly filled their curiosity.The red pearl radish is topped with crisp green tassels, and the boss enthusiastically let them taste it casually.

"It's sweet and crisp."

Wen Xiaobei wiped the soil on the radish carelessly with his hands, and bit down, "It's really crispy!"

Jian Shaoyong stretched out his arms and handed over ten yuan, and the boss quickly packed a bag, "Come back after you've finished eating, my place is a long stall."

Wen Xiaonan curiously bit a small radish that his brother wiped clean, "If you are here often, why don't you sell it in the shed?"

The boss sighed, "Little brother, you don't know that if you want to enter the shed, you need to pay an entry fee, and the monthly stall fee is another sum of money. You say I will sell some small radishes grown in my own field. Qingcai, the money we earn is not enough to give them. We are a small business, which is different from the one that can enter the shed."

Then he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Those of us who set up stalls outside sell pollution-free green food, all from our own fields, unlike theirs, who knows where the goods come from, hum~"

Wen Xiaonan subconsciously unfolded his abilities, trying to discern whether the boss was telling the truth, but he immediately felt Jian Shaoyong's gentle power surrounding them.

Looking back, Jian Shaoyong was looking at him and smiling.

Wen Xiaonan blushed and responded with a shy smile.

Wen Xiaobei put on a wooden face, "The two of you are flirting again!"

Wen Xiaonan retorted: "You and the doctor are getting more and more like each other! You're still so dumb, you're not cute at all!"

The two brothers muttered to each other, and Jian Shaoyong still followed behind them, carrying the little carrot.

Judging from the information they just heard, their target this time - Lin Xiao, should also be one of the unlicensed street vendors, otherwise there would be no trouble for the market manager or even the city management to find her.

These vegetable vendors are basically farmers in the surrounding area, but Lin Xiao's household registration is not local.Then why did she end up here?Maybe something happened back home?Forced to have nowhere to go, to escape to a big city?

Jian Shaoyong lowered his eyes.

Most supernatural beings like to live in seclusion in big cities.There are many people in this kind of place, the flow of people is high, and the fast-paced life creates a cold barrier between people and people, and it is precisely this kind of attitude that has nothing to do with them, which is most suitable for the survival of supernatural beings.

In the countryside, if someone loses a chicken, the whole village will help to find it.In the city, neighbors who died in the house are often found only because of the smell.

To put it nicely, the supernatural beings are hidden in the city, but to put it bluntly, they are just trying to survive.

Wen Xiaonan and Wen Xiaobei were attracted by the newly released grapes again.The clusters of onyx-like grape beads are covered with hoarfrost, and occasionally a bunch of palm-like grape leaves and tendril-like vines.

Jian Shaoyong gave Wen Xiaonan a few hundred dollars, and signaled him to buy whatever he wanted, and if he didn't have enough, he would pick it up again, and then he turned on his cell phone and called Chen Cang.

"We have arrived, give me the target location, and we will meet there."

Chen Cang's voice came from the phone: "The easternmost stall outside the fruit hall, don't get too close, I will find you."

They walked all the way to buy, and when they finally came to the fruit shop, Jian Shaoyong called again and asked the driver to come and take the things they bought before to the car.

The two brothers are really good at watching everything, and everything is fresh.Especially Wen Xiaobei, when he saw the fresh, huge broccoli, he was intoxicated.

"It's so beautiful!"

So Jian Shaoyong had another bag of broccoli in his hand...

Wen Xiaonan squatted in front of a stall selling chicks, raised his head, blinked his round eyes and stared at Jian Shaoyong with longing eyes.

"This cannot be bought."

"why?"

"Chickens are not puppies. They are only cute at this time. Once they grow feathers, they are not cute at all. And when you grow up, I will be very willing to make them into braised chicken nuggets." Jian Shaoyong threatened squinted.

Wen Xiaonan blinked her round eyes again, "If we don't eat it, we will keep it."

"No."

Wen Xiaonan lowered his head and muttered softly, "Chicken is really cute, I really want to raise it..."

When he raised his head again, Jian Shaoyong felt for the first time that a beautiful child with such big and watery eyes... this is a murder weapon.

Two minutes later, Wen Xiaonan was holding a small cardboard box contentedly, with a few fluffy chicks chirping inside.

Dragonflies were still flying over the heads of the crowd, and the weather was getting more and more stuffy.

At the end of the market, the crowds are less dense.At the end of a row of stalls, a fruit stand seemed so incongruous with the surrounding bustle, deserted.

Without Jian Shaoyong's reminder, Wen Xiaonan and Wen Xiaobei also saw something was wrong.

The stall was full of various fruits, and the stall owner sat silently behind the stall with his head down.Everyone who walked past glanced at it and curled their lips.

Talkative, "The strawberry is so red, it looks like it has been injected with medicine."

The stall owner immediately raised his head like an aggressive old hen, and asked aggressively, "What's the matter, what's wrong with my strawberries!"

The gossiping citizen turned around and left, obviously not wanting to offend this tough female vendor, but with a look of contempt on his face, one could tell what he was thinking.

The female vendor refused to give up and yelled a few more words, but she didn't know that this scared away the other customers who planned to come and see.

Wen Xiaonan felt Jian Shaoyong's hand on his shoulder.

"I'm going to unblock and read her thoughts, are you ready?"

Wen Xiaonan nodded.

Jian Shaoyong pinched his shoulder again, and gave him a comforting and encouraging look.

Wen Xiaonan took a deep breath and whispered, "Okay, come on."

The cries of hawkers, the bargaining of people who came to buy vegetables, and the sounds of vegetable sellers moving boxes, were all covered up by all kinds of chatter.

Wen Xiaonan clenched his teeth, his chest heaving violently.

Wen Xiaobei hugged his younger brother's shoulder silently.

A pair of men's leather shoes stood in Lin Xiao's sight.

Beige pants, light blue shirt, the man in front of him squatted down slowly, picked up an overly bright strawberry and played with it, "How much is a catty?"

"Five yuan, it's delicious. You have a taste, it's okay, you have a taste."

The man blew on the fruit in his hand and took a bite.

The taste is really good.Juicy, sweet and fragrant.Even people standing by can smell the strong strawberry flavor, but the pulp of this strawberry is red, bright red...

Lin Xiao was startled when he saw a drop of bright red juice on the man's mouth.I scolded myself in my heart for being too stupid, how did I come up with such a fruit?It's like spitting up blood...

Wen Xiaobei stared in horror at the strawberry that took a bite of "blood". Just as he was about to say something, he heard a commotion in the distance, and then a loud noise.

Almost at the same time, Jian Shaoyong dropped the strawberries and stood up, frowning slightly and listening to the movement in the distance.

Wen Xiaonan covered his ears and plunged into his brother's arms.

"Jian Shaoyong, hurry up and open the shield first, my brother is feeling very uncomfortable, hey! Jian Shaoyong!" Wen Xiaobei patted Wen Xiaonan's back comfortingly, while anxiously calling out to the man who hadn't responded.

At this moment, Chen Cang and Cai Fei hurried over.

Chen Cang grabbed Jian Shaoyong who was still listening, "Don't investigate, there is a target to rob the market management office, I have already sent people to chase after the No. [-] warehouse, you come with me quickly."

Jian Shaoyong frowned, "Who? What level?"

"Zheng Peng from Group A."

"type?"

"Air wave."

An overwhelming amount of information poured into Wen Xiaonan's ears.He didn't even notice Chen Cang's appearance, he just huddled in his brother's arms and trembled until Jian Shaoyong reopened the thought shield, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Nan, come with me, don't leave me too far."

Wen Xiaonan looked blankly at Jian Shaoyong's hand extended to him, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I want to help Chen Cang catch someone who escaped from the research institute, come on, don't be afraid."

Surrounded by warm force all over his body, Wen Xiaonan hesitated for a while, and finally held Mr. Jian's hand.

A voice in his mind said to him: Maybe I have to remove the mind shield in a while. This incident is more urgent. You have to learn to be stronger, remember the method I taught you, and try to control your own power. ?

I... I'm afraid...

Without looking back, Jian Shaoyong dragged Wen Xiaonan forward, chasing closely behind Chen Cang.

Xiaonan, don't be afraid, you can do it.

Well, I'll give it a try.

Don't hold the mentality of giving it a try.What I want to arrest this time is a person with aggressive abilities. I need to concentrate absolutely, and maybe I can no longer take care of you. You must strengthen your beliefs and firmly believe that you can also "refuse".

Okay, Mr. Jane, I see.

be good~~

Just when Wen Xiaonan was worried, Wen Xiaobei was already gearing up.

Just now Chen Cang whispered to him, "Would you like to help me catch the escaped supernatural being?"

Catch it!

Isn't that as powerful as the police?

Wen Xiaobei complacently fantasized about his majestic appearance...

Maybe it happened suddenly, none of them noticed that their original target——Lin Xiao, also quietly followed behind them, with cold eyes...
