Jiangzhu's Summer

There were mottled bloodstains in the crevices of his fingers, which dried and condensed on the lines of the skin. He rubbed it, and the broken dark red flakes fell off, and the skin was still dark and dark.

Xiao Yuer has a cleanliness habit, he will be upset when he comes out and sees it later.

In a daze, he staggered to the bathroom, stood in front of the sink, mechanically poured hand sanitizer into his palms, carefully kneaded the foam from his fingertips to his fingertips, and rubbed repeatedly until his skin turned red. .

The water was rushing towards him, and he always felt that he could still smell the bloody smell in his nose, so thick and overwhelming, as if it wanted to drown him.

He repeated this series of actions almost nervously, looked at the red fingertips, and said incoherently in his mouth: "There is so much blood, why can't it be washed off? What's the matter? Wash it off quickly, and don't let it wash off. Xiao Yu'er will be angry when he sees it."

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and slammed it hard against the sink, then squatted down with his arms folded, buried his face in his arms, and cried bitterly: "Why is there so much blood, what should I do, little fish, what should I do?" Do it?"

Zhu Jingci didn't know how long he cried, maybe a long time, an hour, maybe just a few minutes.Then he stood up, took a handful of clear water, and splashed it on his face to wake himself up.

It can't be like this, he said to himself, Xiao Yu'er wouldn't like to see him like this, he had to be good, sitting outside the operating room and waiting for him.

He washed his face and hands expressionlessly, dried them with paper towels, and walked out of the bathroom step by step.He walked very slowly, his back slightly bent, as if he was overwhelmed.

In just a few hours, he became haggard, pale, shaky, and refused to fall down as if he was competing with someone.

He sat back on the bench, took out his mobile phone, took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the trembling in his voice, called Bai Wei, and asked her to come to the hospital.

Bai Wei arrived very quickly, bringing Father Jiang along with her.She almost panicked and rushed into the hospital corridor. "Zhu Zhu, what's the matter, what's going on, why are you in the hospital, where is Jiang Jiang?"

"Jiang Chenyu is still being rescued inside," Zhu Jingci subtly raised his finger, pointing to the emergency room next to him, "We... are on the road, and there is a truck head on," he swallowed, feeling himself Never had it been so hard to say, "He was trying to save me, I didn't see it, he pushed me away, himself..."

"How did this happen?" Bai Wei sat down on the bench, "You obviously finished the exam well, but why did you get hit by a car?"

She buried her head in Father Jiang's arms, crying out of breath, and just kept repeating, "I should pick him up, I shouldn't let him come back by himself, I should have picked him up."

Father Jiang reached out and patted her on the back reassuringly, then raised his head and asked Zhu Jingci, "Did you call the police? Is the driver still there?"

Zhu Jingci spoke in a stagnant voice: "Call the police. But...the person ran away." He just called Bai Wei before thinking of calling the police.

Jiang's father could not hide the seriousness and anger on his face. He turned around, and he did not know who to call, and ordered the other party to adjust the surveillance and check the vehicle involved in the accident.

Zhu Jingci was listening, trying to recall what the car looked like.Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

He didn't hear the brakes from start to finish.

His hair stood on end in an instant, he quickly closed his eyes, and carefully searched the remaining memory fragments in his mind, there was no whistle, no brake sound, nothing.The car sprang out like a ghost, hit them and left without hesitation.

This was no accident at all, it was deliberate murder.

who is it?Who attacked them, who they wanted to kill, was he or Jiang Chenyu?

Could it be... the Zhu family?

You don't care about the Zhu family, so don't you even care about that kid from the Jiang family?

A mere Jiang family, my Zhu family can still handle it.

Before leaving, Mr. Zhu's threatening words suddenly appeared in his mind.

What if it's not just a threat?

What if this is a punishment for his disobedience?

Regret and anger were like a poison, burning his internal organs.

He tried his best to hide his emotions, and talked to Bai Wei: "Auntie, please stay here, tell me when the operation is over, I'll go home and get something."

Bai Wei calmed down a little at this time, wiped away her tears and said to him: "You go." After hesitating for a while, she comforted him: "Don't blame yourself too much, Jiang Jiang doesn't want to see you like this either."

Zhu Jingci couldn't answer, only gave a vague reply, and left the hospital as if fleeing.

He couldn't face Bai Wei.Bai Wei really loves him and treats him no differently from Jiang Chenyu.He rarely receives the warmth of others, so he always cherishes it very much.If...if it was really because of him that Jiang Chenyu was put in such a dangerous situation...he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He found a secluded corner in the garden next to the hospital, took a deep breath, and dialed the number.

Didi Didi's waiting tone came from the phone, every time it hit his heart, it was extremely difficult.

Finally the phone was connected, and before he could speak, the other end spoke first: "Young master, we didn't do what happened this time."

His question was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get up and down, "It's not you, who else?"

The voice over there became indistinct, as if it was moving away from the microphone, asking for someone's opinion.Afterwards, the other party spoke again: "Young master, the master said, he will tell you when you come to the old house."

Zhu Jingci answered without hesitation for a moment. The other end of the phone asked for his address and said that a car would be sent to pick him up later.

He hung up the phone, put his arms on his knees, put his hands in his hair, and lowered his head, unable to see clearly.

Who is the one?He couldn't figure it out, the whole thing was beyond his cognition.Rich family, murder, the plots in the novel are staged one by one, like a bizarre dream.

He closed his eyes, with some ridiculous hopes, imagining that this was really a dream, and when he opened his eyes, he was still in the third year of high school.The sunlight was divided into grids by the window grille, leaking onto the profiles of the people around him, and he was still by his side.

The car that picked him up soon arrived, and the driver was the black-clothed bodyguard who often followed Mr. Zhu.He walked into the car, sat in the back seat, and said nothing with a cold face, and the bodyguard didn't intend to talk, and drove the car silently.

Zhu Jingci lowered his eyes and pressed his fingernails hard on his palm.The last time he faced the Zhu family, he had Jiang Chenyu as his backing, as if he had confidence. He was still alive then.Today, he has only himself.

The car passed through the carved iron gate and drove to the front of the villa.The door was ajar, Zhu Jingci got out of the car and went straight into the room without looking at the surrounding buildings.

Mr. Zhu was sitting in front of him, serving a purple clay tea set.Seeing him walk in, he was not affected at all.He just gestured for him to sit opposite, holding the pot by himself, with the spout slightly tilted, and the brown tea soup was poured into the cup.

"The rare Jin Junmei, try it."

Zhu Jingci didn't answer his words, and ignored the cup of tea, "Who did it?"

"What can you do if you know?" The old man took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "Have someone drive a car and kill him, or take a knife and die with him?"

"That's my business. You promised to tell me who he is." Zhu Jingci deliberately ignored the sarcasm in his tone, and secretly clenched his fists.

"It's your uncle, my ineffective nephew." The old man raised his head and looked into his eyes, the cloudy eyes were shining with light, "It was you who wanted to touch you. suffered."

Sure enough... are you still dragged down by me?Zhu Jingci thought blankly, his hands gradually loosened, and he leaned weakly against the table.

"In this case, your picky eye is not bad, better than your worthless father."

"Will you deal with him?" Zhu Jingci stared straight at him with sharp eyes.

"It's about to be tapped. I've been sick for a while, and I'm going to crawl on my head one by one." The old man said casually, pulling the handkerchief next to him to wipe his hands, "If you want, I'll let him Come again, I will apologize to you."

"That's fine? Why?" Zhu Jingci gritted his teeth and said, "What he wants is my life, so you just let him go?"

"if not?"

"He wants you to die, but aren't you still standing here unscathed and asking me to blame you?" The old man raised his eyelids and noticed his bloody elbow, "Injured? Xiao Liu, take the young master to bandage it one time."

"You don't need to be hypocritical." Zhu Jingci slapped away the bodyguard's hand, "He hurt the Jiang family, aren't you afraid that the Jiang family will retaliate?"

"The Jiang family, I don't need to be afraid. As for Jiang Chenyu, whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with the Zhu family." Seeing his tense jaw, the old man suddenly smiled, "How, do you feel it? He has no power That's it, let others slaughter you. Those who want to protect can't protect, and those who want to kill can't kill."

He looked at Zhu Jingci with compassion, as if laughing at his powerlessness.He also said: "I said before that there are some things that you can't hide from if you want to. You don't want to go back to the original family to inherit the family business, but putting the identity of the direct line there is enough for some people to stay awake at night."

"This time you are lucky, you have the Jiang family boy protecting you. What about next time? Grandpa is old and can't control the people below. Can I solve it for you once, and can I solve it for you ten times or eight times?"

"What do you want to help me?" Zhu Jingci suppressed his voice, with blood in his throat.

Mr. Zhu drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, and said slowly, "Man, it's not safe to hold your life in other people's hands."

"It's the most useless to be unarmed and only know to speak harshly. To protect what you like, you have to grow claws and teeth, so that everyone who covets you will know the pain, and you will never dare to think about what you shouldn't."

Zhu Jingci went out, only to notice that it was raining lightly outside.There are a few honeysuckle vines wrapped around the railing, shivering in the wind, their branches and leaves sticking to the handrail, with a dusty desperation.

He remembered that the day when he reunited with Jiang Chenyu was also a rainy day. He suddenly bumped into the rain and saw the boy under the umbrella with the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen in his life.

From now on, we will never see each other again.
