completely black and white

Jiang Bai had a dream, still in the familiar warehouse, the disgusting rust smell never stopped, plundering his sense of smell inch by inch, and his stomach was already overwhelmed.

In his dream, he was leaning against the door of the warehouse, looking at the shadows of people inside, watching the iron rod in someone's hand constantly swinging high and falling, and it all fell on a thin man curled up on the ground.

Under the man's feet was a seven-year-old child, his hands were tied behind his back, his thin body was trembling uncontrollably, and he desperately wanted to move to the man's side.

Behind the child came a teenage boy with a pistol in his hand, walking leisurely.He stepped forward and grabbed the child's hair, bent down and looked at the child carefully.After a while, he raised his head and showed a seemingly innocent smile, "Mu Chu, he really looks like you, did you also look like this when you were young?"

Jiang Bai was standing on the periphery of the crowd. He trembled when he heard Mu Chu's name, and he was about to kneel down when his feet softened.He was leaning against the iron frame in the warehouse, his heart was beating fast for no reason, and his face was pale and lifeless.

He watched the iron rod stop, Mu Chu struggled and knelt beside the child, carefully cupped the child's face with his scarred hands, and gently wiped the blood on the child's face.

It was obvious that his face was already covered with scars, and muddy blood gurgled down from his forehead along the side of his face, blurring one of his eyes.But he still smiled, trying his best to smile at the child with the last bit of strength, and kept saying something with his thin lips.

Jiang Bai couldn't hear anything, only saw the young man who had been watching coldly suddenly pulled the safety of the gun, pulled the trigger with his finger, and pressed the black muzzle of the gun against the forehead of the man named Mu Chu.

"No! Don't!" Jiang Bai screamed hysterically from the bottom of his heart, but he seemed to be isolated in another world. No one in the warehouse could hear his voice, except Mu Chu.

Mu Chu suddenly raised his eyes, passed through the crowd and faced him in the distance.He looked calm and looked straight at Jiang Bai. His eyes seemed to have passed through the mountains and rivers. He had seen the bone-chilling wind and frost, as well as the tragic killing and blood, but he was still firm and gentle.

At that moment, Jiang Bai saw his lips slightly open as if he was whispering something. When he wanted to listen carefully, there was a piercing sound in his ear, all hearing was isolated, and he became a man who couldn't shout Out, can't hear, can only look at people.

He watched the boy pull the trigger, watched the bullets whizzing through the air, watched the man's temple being pierced, and watched the blood flow out continuously, falling on the child under the man's feet.

There was a dense pain in his chest for a while, Jiang Bai finally knelt down on one knee, clutching his chest tightly, his face was pale with pain, and cold sweat dripped down, wet his hair and clothes.

He heard a hoarse and inflected voice with difficulty deep in his throat, "Don't—"

"Huh!" Jiang Bai broke away from the nightmare suddenly, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open and gasping for breath.

After the storm, there are no stars in the night, only the dark clouds that have not yet dissipated cover the night sky.The alley was quiet and silent, except for a few dogs barking occasionally, which rang through the entire alley along with the draft.

Jiang Bai looked at the not very bright street lamp outside the window, and his mind was gradually freed from the chaos. It was obviously winter, but it made him sleepy and sweaty.

He turned on the mobile phone beside the bed, and it showed that it was only past four o'clock in the morning, and it was still a while before he went to work, but he had no sleepiness at all, and only Mu Chu's clear eyes in his dream were in his mind.

Mu Chu?Mu Chu, why...how did you dream of him?

At this time, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside the door, followed by the cry of a child.Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, before realizing that he had returned to Zheng Er's home in Huaicheng yesterday.

Huaicheng is also considered a first-tier city, and housing prices have been soaring as early as a few years ago, which is not affordable for a returnee like him.He was too lazy to rent a house, so he stayed at Zheng Er's house with a stern face.Zheng Er doesn't care, there is someone to help share the utility bills, why not do it?Taking this kid in is the right to find a companion for his daughter.

He got up and opened the door, only to see Zheng Er coaxing his daughter in embarrassment, with the overturned ceramic bowls and chopsticks under his feet, and the soup inside spilled all over the floor.

Zheng Er's daughter is four years old this year. She can walk and jump, and has a lively nature, but she doesn't have a mother.I heard Zheng Er said that the child's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her daughter, and that it was Zheng Er who raised the child so big by himself.The daughter's name is Zheng Ping'an. When Jiang Bai first heard the name, the beer he drank in his mouth almost spit out. He laughed, "Who would name their child so casually? This is still a girl. .”

At that time, Zheng Er was coaxing his daughter to sleep, and replied softly, "What's wrong with this name, I am blessed, and I will be safe in the future."

Hearing the sound of the room door opening, Zheng Er looked back, "Did it wake you up?"

Jiang Bai stepped forward to take Ping An from Zheng Er, "No, I woke up from a nightmare. Ping An Ping An, what's wrong with you? Look at brother, Ping An..."

Finally someone came to take over, Zheng Er was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa, and after a while he resigned himself to his fate and got up to clean up the mess on the ground, "I just woke up and said I was hungry, so I found the leftover soup from yesterday for her to drink, who Knowing that it was knocked out."

Jiang Bai sneered, "You are stupid! Isn't that right, Ping An, isn't Dad stupid?"

Ping An was held in Jiang Bai's arms, but he didn't cry very much. He was grabbing Jiang Bai's collar and humming, as if agreeing with Jiang Bai's words.

When Jiang Baigang and Zheng Er met, they always came to eat at home when they had nothing to do. Ping An was still young at that time, and would be scared when he saw strangers. When he saw Jiang Bai, he desperately hid in Zheng Er's arms. He couldn't hide and started crying loudly. Jiang Bai is always at a loss.

Later, Jiang Bai did not know where to ask for experience. Every time he came to the house, he brought a bunch of toys, such as Barbie dolls, and bubble machines. It was like bringing the entire toy store to the house.It's not counting that they moved here, but they had to play with Ping An for a long time in a shameless manner before they were bribed and became "brothers and sisters".

When Zheng Er cleaned up the floor, Ping An had already fallen asleep in Jiang Bai's arms, and his chubby little hands held onto his collar, and his mouth was pouting, looking very cute.

Zheng Er carefully took the child over and watched Jiang Bai get up to get the beer, "Don't sleep anymore? What kind of wine do you drink in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Bai "stabbed" opened the mouth of the can, took a sip of beer, the bitter taste spread on the tip of the tongue, and the whole person became more awake, "I don't want to sleep anymore. By the way, is there any news about Yu Zhengpeng?"

Zheng Er shook his head, "No, can we find people who can't even find a note? But I have someone guard the hospital."

Jiang Bai nodded and took another sip of beer.

"You suspect that he has something to do with Liu Ze?" Zheng Er asked again.

Jiang Bai's knuckles tapped lightly on the beer can, "The new products have always been in Liu Ze's hands, it's hard to say that there is no relationship between them."

Zheng Er was silent for a moment, Jiang Bai has been checking the people around Liu Ze since he came out of prison, he also helped Jiang Bai run a few times in the open and in the dark, even Zou Zhi's body was also reported to the police by him.

Jiang Bai has always wanted to do things one by one. There is no reason, and Zheng Er will not ask too much. Even now it seems that he is stepping on the thunder of the seventh master who is far away in Myanmar, and he has nothing to do. idea.It's not because he thinks Jiang Bai is a good person. After all, Zheng Er has also seen him with a knife and a knife. It's just because after two years of getting along, he also knows that Jiang Bai is kind by nature, and he feels a little bit of blind trust. Bar.But there is one thing he still wants to ask, "What are you doing in the city bureau?"

Jiang Bai drooped his eyelids and drank beer, "Working, what else can I do?"

Zheng Er sat up straight, "Are you looking for something? Check the black police in the note?"

Jiang Bai paused, glanced at Zheng Er, and said nothing.

The room fell silent, only the sound of Xiaopingan's shallow breathing lingered in his ears.After a long time, Zheng Er said slowly, "I don't care what you do, but I still tell you to be careful in everything, someone will always remember your life."

Jiang Bai lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and threw the empty beer can in his hand into the trash can, "Got it, why are you so verbose like an old lady?"

Zheng Er kicked him, "You are the old lady."

Jiang Bai smiled and avoided, and shouted, "Peace! Get up, your father beat someone!"

Zheng Er gave a "tsk" in shock, and Ping An in his arms was about to be awakened and moved. He was so frightened that he quickly patted Ping An, and scolded Jiang Bai, "Vicious thing!"

Jiang Bai was very happy, watching Zheng Er running back to his room with the man in his arms, leaving him alone in the living room.

He let out a long breath, put his hands on the back of his head, leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling motionless, frame by frame of the scene in his dream just now, Mu Chu's eyes, still The teenager with the gun and the child were all printed in his mind one by one.

It has been aged for a long time, the wall skin of the ceiling has turned yellow, and there are faint traces of taking it off in the corner. Jiang Bai squinted his eyes to see that the boy who put the child to sleep just now has disappeared, and the dangerous and cold breath is slowly coming from his surroundings. released.

The hospital in the early morning of the next day was much quieter than usual, and the sunlight poured down from the window sill, filling the entire empty corridor.The nurses who were changing shifts talked and laughed with each other to lift their spirits, and wished that a big bed would appear in front of them immediately so that they could lie down and rest immediately.

At this time, a man came out of the emergency passage on the sixth floor.He was wearing black clothes, and his entire face was hidden under the hat, so it was hard to see what he looked like.

He walked quickly to the end of the corridor, stood in front of Lin Kexin's ward, put his hand on the doorknob, and looked around before opening the door. He didn't open the door until he was sure that there was no one there.

Yu Xiao in the room was dozing off, and was awakened instantly by the sound of the door opening, and saw Yu Zhengpeng standing at the door at a glance.

"!dad!"

"Hush!" Yu Zhengpeng hurriedly interrupted Yu Xiao, glanced at Lin Kexin who was still asleep, and lowered his voice, "Don't wake your mother up."

Yu Xiao watched Yu Zhengpeng walking in front of him while taking off his hat, and it was hard to imagine that the man in front of him could be his father——Yu Zhengpeng was already forty, but he didn't look old, he looked like a man in his early thirties Young people are at their most prosperous time.But the man standing in front of him now is a desolate and spoiled man, his mouth is full of stubble, his hair is also a mess, if you look carefully, there are many wrinkles on the corners of his eyes, the whole person looks like an old man several years old.

Yu Xiao held his father's hand in surprise, "Dad? Why do you..."

Yu Zhengpeng fondled his daughter's hair, "Xiaoxiao, have you taken care of your mother since I'm not here?"

"Mom is fine. The doctor said yesterday that she is recovering well. If you want to go home in a few days, you can go home and rest." Yu Xiao looked at the grizzled hair on her father's temples, "Dad, are you ..."

Yu Zhengpeng interrupted her, "We'll talk about this later, let me see your mother first."

Lin Kexin was always suffering from illness at night and couldn't sleep well. Right now, she was in a deep sleep, her brows were tightly knit together, her breathing was shallow. She must have dreamed of something good, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up.

Yu Zhengpeng walked over softly and slowly, looking at his wife's sleeping face for a long time, his eyes couldn't contain the deep love and reluctance.He slowly raised his hand to brush away the broken hair that fell on his cheeks for his wife, and then fell on his eyebrows, moving it down inch by inch, gently copying his wife's appearance.

It was clearly a picture of a loving couple, but the girl's sixth sense made Yu Xiao inexplicably flustered and sad, as if her father was going to leave their mother and daughter far away.

She watched Yu Zhengpeng lean over and place a long kiss on Lin Kexin's forehead.Lin Kexin, who was sleeping, seemed to have noticed something, frowning slightly and was about to wake up, Yu Zhengpeng patted Lin Kexin's back with sharp eyes and hands, comforting him to fall asleep again.

He stood up reluctantly, and suddenly remembered that when he proposed to Lin Kexin that year, she was coaxed by him to go there. It was still a small studio at that time, and he took her around in it several times, torturing everyone. When I lost my temper, I finally took people to a piece of grass behind the studio.There is a large field of roses, which he planted by himself after nearly a year, just to give to Lin Kexin.

Lin Kexin stood among the flowers, unable to speak for a long time, so she watched Yu Zhengpeng knelt down on one knee and took out a ring.At that time, his career hadn't started yet, so he couldn't afford a pigeon egg diamond ring, it was just a ring less than one carat.Lin Kexin didn't care at all, and immediately said "I am willing", urging him to put the ring on himself, and couldn't wait to rush into his arms, and he hugged him full.

Lin Kexin buried her head in her chest, hugged his waist tightly, and said for a long time——Zhengpeng, I can't think of a happier woman than me.

Yu Zhengpeng slid his fingertips over the ring that Lin Kexin was wearing all the time, and said softly, "I can't think of a happier man than me."

But sorry...

And in a residential area in Huaicheng, the sun just broke through the dawn and fell on a plate of bluegrass on the balcony of Zheng Er's house. A bird stopped on the railing, and was scared away by a loud noise before it could gain a foothold. .

Jiang Bai on the sofa opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Zheng Er, who was also covered with chicken feathers, and was interrupted before he could sneer, "Yu Zhengpeng appeared in the hospital!"

Jiang Bai sat up.
