Don't move the old man's bounty

Xiao Shi drove in the narrow alley, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and quickly sent a few short messages with the other.

Vendors with stalls on both sides of the street were dissatisfied with the huge monster that had squeezed in. The old man selling oranges cursed and moved the three-wheeled scooter back half a step, pointing at the SUV and yelling that the current drivers are not qualified and lazy He refused to get out of the car for three steps.

The fish seller who had just brought away a two-pound crucian carp for a customer also smelled fragrant, when a basin of dirty water mixed with fish scales and fish blood was poured out, and one wheel of Xiao Shi's flamboyant SUV was painted.

Gliding forward slowly in neutral, he sighed, stepped on the brakes, lowered the window, poked his head out and asked, "Auntie, what kind of fish is so good?"

Seeing that it was a customer coming to the door, the fish seller turned around and changed her face, "What do you want to supplement, of course it is eel for nourishing blood and nourishing qi, but this fish can be very fishy if it is not cooked well, and people don't like it if it is injured or sick. Eat it, I'm tired of it!"

"Eel, eel can't do it, is there anything else? I'll give my daughter-in-law a boost, and it's best to make him alive and well after eating it."

The granny who sells meat next door was delighted when she heard this, "What do you want a daughter-in-law to do, why don't you just buy a bullwhip and eat it yourself!"

After speaking, the two middle-aged women burst into laughter.

The fish seller said again: "Pick up a crucian carp, and make soup with papaya to make milk, it's great!"

"Success, then you can help me pick the two largest ones and clean them up. Cut the fish heads and viscera into big pieces."

He waited for a while, the noisy vegetable market returned to its usual chaos, and no one noticed him as an outsider. After scanning the QR code and paying, he went into the vegetable stall to pick and choose, immersed in the joy of haggling with the boss .

Parked in Hyundai at the intersection, two pairs of eyes stared at his back without blinking.

One of them yawned, and quickly took two mouthfuls of iced Americano, "Brother Yang, what is he doing here? What kind of food does he come here to buy? He doesn't live here either?"

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, go suck your milk bottle. Keep an eye on me. Just now the higher-ups called and said that the suspect named Wang Shuncai threw off the plainclothes following him and disappeared now. Brother Zhou specifically asked him to keep an eye on him. If he disappears too, the two of us will be killed."

"Ah? So serious, isn't he a friend of Brother Zhou?"

"Friend?" Yang Ai snorted coldly, "Ever since he got together with that so-and-so, he has become an enemy."

"Ah? No way, the two are rivals in love? Such blood! Who is that, who is that woman?"

"What girl! Stay away from me and drink!"

"What? It's not a girl! Brother Yang, who is it? Tell me~"

Yang Ai's brain hurts from being quarreled by her teammates, and she said angrily, "Jiang Juan! Vice Captain Jiang! Let's go!!"

With a "snap", all the coffee in the policeman's hand splashed on Yang Ai's pants. He jumped up with a scream of "Aww". Is it okay? I don’t know the white pants I’m wearing today, I think I’ve pulled them up! Damn...you don’t touch them! It’s so cold that I’m so cold, roll away..."

Yang Ai brushed the ice off her leg to the ground, suddenly the strings in her mind became tense, and she looked up, where could Xiao Shi be found in the messy vegetable market?

"Fuck! Let him go!"

Xiao Shi slapped his hands, turned up the wall easily, and patted the wall to bask in the sun for a nap but was disturbed by him, who was staring at his big orange cat's ass with a wary face.

Daju was so disrespectful to him, he bared his teeth, and slapped him with his backhand. Xiao Shi committed the crime himself, so he could only sneak in the door with the four blood marks on the back of his hand against the wall.

Last night, he and Jiang Juan stayed up all night. At dawn, he sent Jiang Juan back to the unfinished old house. The place was very remote, and few people knew the address, and most of them would not have thought of Jiang Juan. Tired will hide there, it is safe for the time being.So he waited on Jiang Juan to warmly drink a bowl of bean curd with chili, put him to sleep, and then came to the city bureau to deceive those people.

He even changed some of the nonsense that that person made up so carelessly in Jiang Juan's own version, and finally made the lie sound like that, but unfortunately he still couldn't fool those people.

Gao Ju turned a blind eye, not interjecting because he couldn't bear to expose his lies, Jiang Xun helped him from the beginning to the end, and helped him cover when it came to a critical moment, interrupting Zhou Xuan who wanted to open his mouth several times.Apparently, the Yanxi City Bureau's attitude was to protect Jiang Juan, no matter how bullying Zhou Xuan was, he still had to give him some face.

The most important thing is that he was Jiang Zhu's best friend before his death, and he was somewhat partial to Jiang Juan. As long as he didn't really kill and set fire to do unforgivable things, he would help if he could.It's just that Zhou Xuan's protection method is a little different from theirs. It is necessary to let Jiang Juan stay in a place where he can see with his eyes open and touch with his hand, but for Xiao Shi, that is the worst policy.

He opened the door quietly and tiptoed up to the second floor.

The door of the bedroom was opened with a gap, and it was still the same as when he left. He pushed the door gently and walked in, only to see Xiaotian lying on the side of the bed, erecting his ears energetically, and looking at him with his tongue out.

Xiao Shi went over and touched its head, and saw that the quilts on the bed were piled up in a mess, so he knew that Jiang Juan had listened to him and hadn't acted like a monster. He lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing the man's reddish sleeping face. The hair hangs messily on the face and spreads half of the pillow. This amazing volume of hair is really enviable.

Xiao Shi couldn't help touching it, but he didn't expect two strands of black hair to be caught between his fingers. He was so frightened that he quickly pushed back the broken hair to the man.

He kissed Jiang Juan's face, and found that the body temperature was a little hot. He stretched his hand under the quilt and cut off the power of the electric blanket.

He lowered his head and quietly asked Xiaotian: "How long has he been sleeping like this?"

How could Xiaotian understand what he said, tilted his head and let out a low "Woo...".

At this moment, Jiang Juan said vaguely, "It hasn't been long, and I haven't been able to sleep well."

He didn't open his eyes when he said this, which wasn't quite his character yet.

Xiao Shi pinched his face, "Get up and drink some water, it's almost roasted, your mouth is dry."

Jiang Juan opened his eyes and glanced at him in a daze, then quickly closed them again, Xiao Shi realized that he was not awake at all, it was similar to talking in sleep, intermittently.

Xiao Shi was amused by his appearance, rubbed his head, and stuffed the pillow that was kicked to his feet behind his back, between the cold walls.

These days, he found that Jiang Juan likes to sleep against the wall, so that he can rely on his back and make him feel safe.

As soon as he returned to the bed where he had slept since he was a child, he was still a little uncomfortable, so Xiao Shi put a pillow behind his back, like a small animal's nest before hibernation, to keep warm and feel safe.

He was about to take Xiaotian, who was guarding the man, to feed him some snacks, when Jiang Juan let out a soft "Um...", he stopped and waited for a while, but he heard the man's slurred voice I heard: "Don't go. Xiao Shi, accompany me..."

The nature of being accompanied by people in a daze is different from that of being accompanied by names in a daze. Although Xiao Shi already knew that he was stubborn, in fact he still needed himself in his heart, but the effect of what he said in person was entirely up to him. Brainstorming is quite different.Seeing his weak and defenseless appearance, Xiao Shi really had the urge to strip him naked and shoot him again.

But after thinking about it, his ex-wife really can't just look at the surface. He is the one who is begging to be hugged now. He was the one who broke Li Heng's limbs and joints yesterday without even blinking an eye. He doesn't want to be with her. Nasi surnamed Li will end up alone.

"How do you accompany me, eh? How do you want me to accompany you?"

Jiang Juan opened his eyes to look at him, and quickly closed them, but this time he came to his senses, squinted for a while, turned over and asked him: "...It's so early, they didn't detain you?"

Seeing that he was no longer sleepy, Xiao Shi took off his coat and got into the quilt, hugged his warm body, and kissed the back of his neck, "Knock me off, why don't you go hungry?"

"It's reasonable, even if I'm starving to death, I don't want to eat your... kangaroo meat."

"Your pause is so intriguing, what are you implying about my ex-wife?"

"You're overthinking, I just think that bowl of kelp pork rib soup that day was not bad." Jiang Juan rubbed his red eyes, and glanced at Xiao Shi, "Suddenly made something that can be eaten, I still have some Not used to..."

"This time I really put in a lot of effort. I know you like sour, spicy, and soup. I specially asked Jiang Xun to learn it. The taste is not bad. As long as you are obedient, there will be soup tonight."

Jiang Juan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but quickly dimmed again.He felt that he shouldn't have too much hope for Xiao Shi's cooking skills, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

He was pampered by his brother since he was a child, and his eating habits are different from ordinary people. He seldom eats rice, occasionally eats noodles, and most of the time he drinks various thickened vegetarian soups, and he takes soup as his staple food.

When he was in school, he trained hard every day. Jiang Zhu added noodles, noodles, bean curd and other staple foods to the soup every day, for fear that his nutrition could not keep up.

Jiang Juan has always been a picky eater, he dislikes fishy meat and doesn't like meat, but there will be a few days every month when he becomes a carnivore, and he will replenish all the fat and protein that he lacks in a month.Generally speaking, he is a picky-mouthed person who is very difficult to serve.

Xiao Shi pinched his flat belly, "I can't pinch the flesh, I'm too thin, I have to make up for you these days. When I was cleaning the house that day, I found the notes left by Jiang Zhu before, which said There are many recipes you like, if you take good care of your ex-husband, I will make them for you one by one every day in the future."

Jiang Juan woke up a little, and noticed that he used the word "home" to describe the Jiang family's old house, and felt warm in his heart.

He remembered that after his father passed away, his mother took the two brothers to Yanxi and lived in the house left by her mother's family. Until now, he still thinks that his mother couldn't accept the fact that his father died in the line of duty, and couldn't bear to stay in the old house to make love.

There is no trace of my father here, and naturally there will not be too many memories.At that time, he was still young, and he didn't understand the profound meaning of farewell, but he just felt that it was too deserted for three people to live in such a huge house.

But the days when Xiao Shi came were just right.

When he stepped into the door today, he seemed to see the warm sun shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which coated the whole room with a soft and yellow filter. His mother smiled like a flower and greeted them warmly. He brought the hot soup to the table, smiled and watched himself fighting with the virtuous Xiao Shi who was molesting his elder brother.

It's a pity that it was too short. Those happy days were really too short.

In the blink of an eye, the blurred figure in front of me disappeared. Although everything in the deserted house remained the same, everything was different without the old people.

He will never return to the family of four, let alone the family of five that only appeared in his dreams.

Xiao Shi squeezed him into the bed, Jiang Juan clung to the pillow and complained: "If this bed can't fit you, get out and sleep on the sofa, stop bullying me."

Xiao Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Do you remember what you said before?"

Jiang Juan was startled.

"When you first arrived at home, you didn't like me, you said I was plotting against your brother, and you were not allowed to sleep with him, and you insisted on letting me sleep on the sofa. Crowding on the same bed with you made you so angry. Then I occupied your bed and forced you to the sofa as a bully. After a few days you felt that something was wrong and you were bullied too much by me. Feeling aggrieved, you simply put up your stubbornness and slept with me for a while, and then you quarreled with me, so you moved out to live with Jiang Xun."

Jiang Juan clearly remembered, but admitted stubbornly, "I don't have any memory of what happened in my life."

Xiao Shi didn't expose him, and kissed him on the burn scar on his right shoulder, "I don't have any impression, so I'll tell you. I slept poorly at that time, and I pressed you hard every night. How about It’s just that you fell asleep too much and didn’t feel it, kicking you down with your legs, so that you always woke up in the middle of the night to beat me up, and the next morning we went out with bruises and swollen faces, and your brother always looked at me with strange eyes We, he must have misunderstood."

Jiang Juan noticed that he didn't know when he stopped calling Jiang Zhu by his first name in front of him, but changed his name to "Your Brother".If he gets more aggressive in the future, maybe he will call him "our brother". Could it be that he is worried about his own mood and doesn't want to make himself too sensitive?

He avoided the important ones, "Your sleeping appearance is not much better now."

Xiao Shi chuckled and said, "That's right, if I had known that we would go to this day, I wouldn't bully you at that time, and it would be great to suppress you in the current way."

Jiang Juan was silent for a long time after hearing the words, staring at the empty ceiling without saying a word.Just when Xiao Shi thought he was falling asleep again, he suddenly turned around and sighed at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi, who hadn't been looked at by him for at least seven or eight years, was a little apprehensive, and felt very uncertain when he met the familiar and unfamiliar eyes.

But he never expected that Jiang Juan would take the initiative to stick to him, hooked his neck and hugged him,

"Actually, I really want to protect you. To protect you is to protect the best memory of my past. Believe it or not, this is what I have been doing for many years."

"I believe."

Jiang Juan sat up, and every time he moved, his body rattled.

Xiao Shi hurriedly undid the handcuffs on his wrists, and tried his best to explain: "Listen to me, it's really not that I want to tie you up on purpose, it's that you are too disobedient, I'm afraid that you will run around and run away I can't find it again, what should I do if someone bullied me." Having said this, he lowered his voice: "You have made me bully enough, I don't want others to touch you again."

Jiang Juan didn't say anything, got up and went out the door, and soon came back with a cigarette in his mouth, and a glass with only a little water at the bottom, and got into bed again, and went to get the lighter on the bedside table through Xiao Shi, and tried it. It caught fire a few times.

Seeing that he started to puff again, Xiao Tian hummed twice dissatisfiedly, and went out with his buttocks twisted, Xiao Shi smiled and said: "Smoking less, you see, it hates you."

For the sake of his performance just now, Xiao Shi let him go this time.

Jiang Juan flicked the cigarette ash into the cup a few times. He had already sucked in a few puffs of cigarettes, but his hands were still shaking so badly that he could barely hold the cigarette.

He looked helplessly at his disobedient body, and reluctantly admitted: "I'm afraid... I'm still afraid."

Xiao Shi threw the cigarette butt between his fingers into the cup, held his cold and trembling hand, pressed it against his forehead, kissed his lips that still smelled of bitter smoke, hugged him tightly and comforted him: " Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll stand up for you when the sky falls, I'm not qualified to talk about the past, but I will protect you now and in the future, so don't be afraid."

Jiang Juan leaned on his shoulder and was stiff for a long time before he finally seemed to be relieved.

"Xiao Shi, I actually blame you, but without you, I don't know what to do most of the time. If I tell you clearly, I will never forgive you, and you will..."

"I will." Xiao Shi said without hesitation, "Trust me, I will."

He stroked Jiang Juan's head lightly, stroked his hair, and then heard Jiang Juan let out a long breath, "You can ask what you want to ask now, as long as it is what I want to say, I will tell you."

"You have to say what you want to say. Your ex-wife is getting more and more demanding now."

"It's not bad. If you don't have the patience to lay down these foreshadowings, I won't even bother to reward you."

"Okay, then I want to ask..." Xiao Shi choked for a moment, and in order not to misunderstand Jiang Juan, he swallowed back the question he wanted to ask the most, and said, "Did you ask Li Heng?" What?"

The author has something to say:

Ah Juan: Go back to the old house to raise a baby, don't CUE.
