Chapter 22 Empty Alley

The afternoon sun became warm, like a clump of warm flowing water, slowly caressing every pedestrian.

The car windows were wide open, and the wind came in from the outside, and it was very pleasant and comfortable when it caressed my cheeks.

Pei Xiqing lay drowsy for an unknown amount of time, when Lu Mingzhou suddenly said, "Here we are."

There used to be an ancient building left by a rich family. There are tall plaques outside the ancestral hall. The white walls and blue tiles are antique. It is open to the outside world and there are still people living inside.

This land is located on the outskirts of Linshi next door, and Lu Mingzhou drove for nearly two hours.

Nowadays, many people's life rhythm is very fast, and they can hardly spare time and leisure to do other things, so there are usually not many people in such places, not to mention that today is not a holiday, and there are even fewer people. In the blooming summer, it gives people a different kind of coolness.

The old brick narrow alley, with gray walls that have been blown by wind and rain for many years, has a heavy sense of age.

Pei Xiqing bit the straw of the drink, first probed inside, but ended up getting farther and farther away.

Lu Mingzhou fiddled with the camera to regain his focus, raised his eyes and saw his side face staring far away in the empty alley, followed his heart, and pressed the shutter.

After the small clicking sound, Pei Xiqing didn't hear it, didn't turn around, and continued walking into the alley.

Lu Mingzhou also wanted to ask him to wait a while, and the two of them were taking a photo in the alley, so he handed the camera to the butler and asked him to wait a while to help take a photo.

The butler took the camera and accidentally touched it to take a picture. In the camera, Lu Mingzhou looked at Pei Xiqing and walked towards his back, as if the opposite side of the elongated alley was close at hand but out of reach.

The butler's hand that was about to delete it paused for a moment, but it still didn't delete it.

Over there, Lu Mingzhou caught up with Pei Xiqing, who was walking farther and farther away in a daze, and turned around his shoulders. The two of them turned around in the alley and faced the camera. Pei Xiqing grabbed the drink box and subconsciously looked at him. Lu Mingzhou, Lu Mingzhou looked at the camera, the housekeeper pressed the shutter, and the picture was frozen at that moment.

After seeing enough buildings, several people were tired from walking. Occasionally, they met a few people on the way, but they passed by quickly.

Lu Mingzhou took the man back the same way, rested in the car for a while, and asked Pei Xiqing, "How about taking you to the mall?"

Pei Xiqing had never had any objection to the itinerary, so he nodded.

The butler felt that he couldn't move around anymore with his old arms and legs, so he went back first, and Lu Mingzhou and Pei Xiqing went to the mall.

First drive the car back to the city, the housekeeper got out of the car, and went back by himself. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Mingzhou and Pei Xiqing arrived at the mall.There is a lot of people in the shopping mall, which is very different from the loneliness of the ancient alley. There are people coming and going around, and the noise is endless. Compared with the ancient alley, it is more popular.

The two walked while watching, Lu Mingzhou bought a pair of shoes and two pieces of clothes for Pei Xiqing, although he could ask the housekeeper to contact and order them directly, but these two outfits looked really good on Pei Xiqing, so he happily paid for them money, and took the escalator up to the second floor.

The two of them wandered around and entered the supermarket, pushing a small trolley, shopping from toiletries to women's products, Lu Mingzhou's eyes slid over the words "seven-dimensional space" and "ABC". Looking down in thought.

Pei Xiqing pinched the little yellow duck on a bunch of keychains, and noticed his distraction: "What's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Lu Mingzhou's expression remained unchanged: "I'm thinking about a question."

"what is the problem?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Pei Xiqing always felt that Lu Mingzhou's gaze swept over his lower body vaguely, and his voice was full of doubts, "You...do you usually use these, do you need to buy some?"

His finger pointed to the place he had just passed by.

Pei Xiqing thought about it for a while, and flashed in his mind that he had just carefully looked at the words of the advertisement "anti-side leakage, ultra-thin sleep, angelic care", and suddenly he was at a loss for words.

"Uncle," he said with a complicated expression, "I don't use those, and I don't need them either."

Lu Mingzhou quietly looked at him...

Pei Xiqing had no choice but to continue: "I have had an examination before, because the organs are not fully developed, so they don't have that function."

In addition to stuffing some irresolvable desires into his body, this organ creates conflicts in his body, aggravates hormone disorders, causes him insomnia, low self-esteem, and has sudden mischievous attacks from time to time.Other than that, nothing works.

Unfortunately, he couldn't remove this organ when he was young, and he was always tortured in the long run.

Lu Mingzhou patted the back of his hand lightly, signaling him not to think too much, "Let's go, let's continue shopping."

"..." It's just that Pei Xiqing clearly saw the pity that flashed past in his eyes at that moment.

What a pity?

Can't I buy sanitary napkins for him?

Pei Xiqing felt that he didn't really want to know what the reason was.

The shopping mall was huge, and the two of them came out from the exit of the supermarket and planned to continue shopping. Pei Xiqing said that he wanted to go to the bathroom.

The two followed the signs to the bathroom. It was a quite remote corner, and it happened that there weren't too many people at the moment. Lu Mingzhou carried all his things and waited for him outside.

The dummy mannequins displayed in the window next to it were sculpted, and the overall warm-colored outfit made people look very comfortable. Lu Mingzhou took a second look and saw Pei Xiqing coming out of it from the glass reflection.

He was thinking about where to take Pei Xiqing for dinner after leaving the shopping mall, but Pei Xiqing's movements in the glass mirror suddenly paused and stopped a bit.

Lu Mingzhou turned to look at him suspiciously, but saw that his expression changed, and he suddenly rushed over from the bathroom door at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Mingzhou was taken aback, and was about to tease him, "Do you miss uncle that much after leaving for 3 minutes?" Before he could say anything, Pei Xiqing strode over and didn't stop in front of him. Lu Mingzhou could even see that he was soft and soft. Her hair swayed in tiny arcs in the air, as if all movements had been slowed down.

In the next moment, he was knocked away by Pei Xiqing's force, the force without hesitation made him unable to react.

Until a sharp knife appeared in sight, and there was a hand holding the knife, and the veins bulged.

This time the time was really slowed down, it was very long.

He saw that Pei Xiqing, who had no time to dodge, was mistaken by the murderer. The knife grazed his side neck, drew a thin line of blood, and then sank into his back inch by inch.

A string of fine blood beads stuck in the air, like a row of uneven ruby ​​beads.

The time suddenly returned to normal. The blood beads hit the ground, together with Pei Xiqing's body, which hit the ground and made a dull and muffled sound.

Lu Mingzhou kicked the gangster's wrist away, knocking him to the ground almost three times and five times. Another person who just came out of the bathroom door was frightened and helped to call the police.

"Hold it for me." He yelled heavily, and a kind passerby who heard the movement and came to check came forward to help hold the murderer down.

Lu Mingzhou hurriedly went to see Pei Xiqing.

The knife sank nearly halfway in, and blood seeped through the clothes on his back. Pei Xiqing was face down, unable to move, and gasping for breath with his eyes closed, the pain was severe.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Mingzhou didn't know whether he was comforting him or himself, he didn't rashly touch anyone on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move, I'll call an ambulance."

He took the phone out of his pocket and unlocked it with his fingerprint three times before realizing that he had taken the phone upside down. He swiped to open the lock screen, swiped left and right to find the call, finally found it, and clicked in.

112, no,

122, no,

1220, no,

He kept moving his fingers until a passer-by said to him, "I've already called 120, and I should be here soon. Don't worry."

Lu Mingzhou put the phone on the ground casually, crossed his fingers and let out a deep breath, his hands were still shaking badly.

Of course it was impossible not to rush, his reaction had already betrayed him.

The person being pressed laughed wildly, and the hood of the sweater that covered his head fell down, revealing a face that Lu Mingzhou was familiar with.His mind was in a mess, and it took him a long time to dig out such a person from his memory.

"Wei Ke?"

This is a little star who once followed him.

"So Boss Lu still recognizes me?" Wei Ke was still laughing, "I thought you were so forgetful that you couldn't remember me long ago."

Lu Mingzhou didn't dare to touch Pei Xiqing, but couldn't hold back himself, he committed himself and grabbed Wei Ke's chin, so hard that he almost dislocated his jaw, "Why?"

Wei Ke's face was full of pain, but his eyes looked happy, and said with difficulty: "If you are not happy, I will be happy."

He used to have a good face, a very obedient and well-behaved personality, he looked very peaceful and did not cause trouble, but later because he left Lu Mingzhou and could not get good resources, he gradually fell silent.

Now Wei Ke's cheeks are sunken, his eyes are dull, and there are dark bags under his eyes. He can tell at a glance that his life is not good. Except for the momentum of stabbing people at the beginning, now he can only be softly pressed On the ground, there is no resistance, which shows that the body is not strong.

Lu Mingzhou punched him hard in the face, his voice was extremely cold, and then he clenched his collar even more forcefully, forcing Wei Ke to raise his sluggish head: "Why?!" His tone was urgent and heavy , "I don't think I've ever felt sorry for you—"

The two were together for a period of time, but soon separated peacefully. At most, it was just a relationship between friends with benefits. He gave Wei Ke resources, gave him a house, and gave him a lot of breakup fees. Holding a knife in the mall to kill him in the future?

Lu Mingzhou knew very well that if Pei Xiqing hadn't pushed him away, the knife would have stabbed him in the neck.

No matter what Wei Ke's reason was, he couldn't let this person go.

The people below laughed ho-ho, their hoarse voice was like a working bellows, and the expression on their faces was full of hatred, "Of course there is no reason, I just can't bear you and your little boyfriend appearing in front of me That's all."

He also had a small time three or four years ago, when he followed Lu Mingzhou. He thought that it would be a long way to work hard in the entertainment circle on his own, but it didn't take long for him to be seen by Lu Mingzhou. Get on and take it with you, soar into the sky.

He didn't know that making money could be so easy.

However, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. He is used to the kind of life Lu Mingzhou led him to live. He always thinks that resources can come to him continuously, and he has long since lost his heart and the ability to recognize himself.The most important thing is that Lu Mingzhou's constant tenderness and consideration always made him unable to tell whether it was true love or just acting on the occasion. He gave birth to the illusion that he let this romantic prodigal son calm down his heart and sex for him, so he really Thoughts that shouldn't be in this kind of relationship came up.

Once a person is intoxicated in self-imagining, many things will become taken for granted, making himself go further and further away.

Wei Ke is like this.

He really thought that he could be with Lu Mingzhou forever, but suddenly one day Lu Mingzhou broke up with him unexpectedly, no, it wasn't even a breakup, it just ended their trading relationship.

Wei Ke couldn't stand it.

The two of them broke up so cleanly because Wei Ke hadn't reacted yet, so Lu Mingzhou left an impression of being obedient and obedient.

After the breakup, he no longer enjoyed those resources, could not get in touch with people in that circle, he had an empty face, nothing good, and no traits that could be remembered by the public. Then everyone disappeared.

However, at this moment, someone told him that Lu Mingzhou had a new boyfriend by his side.The little boyfriend is beautiful, eccentric, flamboyant, and completely opposite in temperament, but Lu Mingzhou still treats him as well as other lovers, so good that he indulges him to the utmost, so good that he is subtle, so good that he seems to have fallen in love with him Same.

It was only at this time that he realized Lu Mingzhou's true behavior style, and himself, and Lu Mingzhou's new boyfriend who was about to get married, were undoubtedly just a pastime in his spare time.

His tenderness and consideration don't cost money, so many boyfriends with benefits have been replaced one by one, his eyes are empty, who can he really see in his eyes?

But today it is probably different, because Lu Mingzhou looks at him differently from them.

This difference made Wei Ke who happened to bump into them in the mall today very angry.

If Lu Mingzhou treats all lovers the same, then he can still comfort himself that this person has no heart, no matter who they are in his eyes.But now a different person appeared, which undoubtedly caused a different kind of evil fire in his heart.

After he left Lu Mingzhou back then, he couldn't stay in the entertainment circle because of his lack of ability and smooth personality.But he was unwilling, and tried his best to prove himself, but he just made things worse and worse. Instead, he offended many people because of his cold face and his inability to speak. He couldn't find shelter, so he had to quit the entertainment circle completely.

Because he was unwilling to let go of his body and go out to work, but he couldn't find any other way out for a while, he spent all the money Lu Mingzhou gave him, and sold his house. He had no source of income, and now he could only live in a small rental house and live a life of his own. No rest days.

I came to the mall today just to apply for a job as a cashier, but I didn't expect to meet someone here who I can't see again for so many years.

He followed them all the way, seeing Lu Mingzhou's side to himself now being played out on another person again, he couldn't accept it, so he went to the supermarket and bought a fruit knife with him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The moment Wei Ke swung the knife at Lu Mingzhou, Wei Ke was really full of hatred, "You ruined me."

Destroy me with your fake goodness.

Lu Mingzhou stared down at his thin and distorted face with dark eyes.

Simply incomprehensible.

His lips parted slightly, as if about to speak.At that moment, Wei Ke unexpectedly had some untimely hopes and expectations in the midst of extreme jealousy.

Scold me, or keep beating me.

You are still a high-ranking, cold-blooded bearded hand who plays with other people's feelings at will, and you will not be special to anyone.

Then at the next moment someone yelled: "120 is here!"

After hearing that sentence, Lu Mingzhou immediately let go of his hand, then turned and left without hesitation, and ran to where Pei Xiqing was.

The light in Wei Ke's eyes dimmed, he was pushed to stand up, and handed over to the police who came after him.

…………

After waking up, his eyes were blurred. After concentrating for a while, he realized that he was lying on a soft bed. The pain in his back made him frown slightly.

"you're awake?"

Pei Xiqing turned his head slowly, and saw Lu Mingzhou who was guarding the bed, his eyes had obvious red bloodshot eyes, he probably had been guarding by the side for a long time, and stretched out his hand to touch Pei Xiqing's face: " how do you feel?"

Pei Xiqing seemed to want to move, but he was dissuaded by the stinging wound on his back after moving a little bit, his lips turned white, "It hurts."

"Such a deep wound," Lu Mingzhou seemed to think about it, a little scared, "Can it not hurt..."

Pei Xiqing blinked: "I didn't think that much at the time." It was just a subconscious instinct.

"Wei Ke committed suicide at that time, you really..." Lu Mingzhou looked at him, "The wound has been treated, you lost too much blood and fell into a coma for a while, just finished the operation, now you need to recuperate."

Pei Xiqing looked at him quietly.

"In order to avoid compressing the wound, before you get the doctor's approval, you should try to sleep on your stomach during your recuperation."

"Ah."

"Uncle will be with you during this time, okay?"

"it is good."

"You..." Lu Mingzhou pressed his finger, "Do you have anything to ask?"

Pei Xiqing seemed to be thinking for a while: "I want to drink water."

Lu Mingzhou paused almost invisible, he thought that the other party would at least ask about the reason or reason for the intentional injury, and why he knew the perpetrator who stabbed someone with a knife, but Pei Xiqing didn't ask anything.

He put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said to Pei Xiqing: "You have had the operation for a while now, you can drink a little water, I will give you a straw, but don't choke, coughing will cause the wound to burst, take Take a sip, you know?"

"Okay." When drinking water, Pei Xiqing also drank slowly and seriously as he ordered, and when Lu Mingzhou took the straw away, Pei Xiqing gently grabbed his wrist: "Uncle..."

He said the last sentence without saying a word, and gently scratched the inside of Lu Mingzhou's wrist with his little finger.

Lu Mingzhou stood for a long time, then turned around and squatted down again, the breath of his whole body was enveloped above Pei Xiqing, he stretched out his arms and hugged his shoulders, as if his whole body had finally relaxed from the tense state, his lips Talking against his forehead, "You rushed so fast at that time, do you know how dangerous this time is?" Lu Mingzhou kept rubbing his hair and head with his hands, "You really scared uncle this time... ..."

The author has something to say: Yes, Uncle is a central air conditioner who treats people indifferently and is a bit mean-spirited. He is really a "dog"

Good night, dancers.
