Can it be made public?

Chapter 40 Firework Bombs

It was past eight o'clock after dinner.

Ji Li followed Ying Yunsheng back to the door of the other party's house.

Ying Yunsheng changed his shoes and turned his head to say something.

Ji Li first said: "Put your luggage here first, I'll go up and clean it, and I'll come down to get it after cleaning."

Ying Yunsheng: "..."

Ji Li didn't go in, so he stood outside, and he didn't wait for someone to answer after talking for a long time: "What's wrong?"

Ying Yunsheng was still holding the soda that Ji Li bought before, and the can was unconsciously pinched a little bit by him: "You don't plan to live here?"

Ji Li listened: "I live here."

His house is on the upper floor of Ying Yunsheng's building.

Ying Yunsheng heard the hidden meaning in his words, and the expression on his face was unmoved, but the anger in his eyes was about to turn into substance: "Are you going up now?"

"Ah."

Ying Yunsheng took the key again and went out: "Let's go, I'll help you."

The upstairs house had been vacant for more than four years, and with two floors, it took time and effort to clean it thoroughly.

Before Ji Li came to pay the water and electricity, the towel hanging in the bathroom was useless for too long, so he simply used it as a rag.

He handed a piece to the other party, leaning against the wall and watching him soak the rag in water: "Still angry?"

Ying Yunsheng stretched the rag under the faucet: "I'm not angry, why am I angry?"

"Uh..." It's obviously not a careless idiot, but when facing him, all the thoughts in his heart are written on his face.

Ji Li couldn't help but laugh: "Even if I really live in your house, wouldn't you be unable to do anything?"

Ying Yunsheng was stunned for a few seconds before he realized the meaning of his words, his ears were hot, and without looking at him, he rubbed his head with a rag: "I just want to be closer to you."

It stands to reason that this is a good time to make fun of people.

But it was rare for Ji Li not to take advantage of the victory to pursue him. He just watched him quietly for a while, and suddenly said, "I'll tell you a secret, can I calm you down?"

Ying Yunsheng remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Ji Li continued on his own: "Do you know why I changed schools suddenly four years ago?"

Ying Yunsheng had made up his mind not to speak at first, but the other party couldn't help breaking his merits just by saying a word: "Isn't it because of illness?"

"It's because of illness." Ji Li smiled, "But to be more precise, it's because of a car accident."

Ying Yunsheng stopped twisting the rag.

In fact, he has never been surprised before. He has been a classmate in Tingfeng Lane for four years. Apart from not taking physical education classes and not participating in extracurricular activities, the other party has clearly never asked for sick leave. Not to the point of leaving?

"My mother came back to see me four years ago, and something happened when she took me to the town." Ji Li said, "I was there at the time, watching her pass away."

Ying Yunsheng didn't know what expression he had on his face now, but he probably wouldn't look too good-looking.

"My situation is much better, because the car is coming towards her, I can only be regarded as incidental."

Ying Yunsheng was keenly aware of his words: "Is it aimed at her?"

Ji Li said "hmm", "It's premeditated."

Ying Yunsheng's fingers hanging by his side suddenly curled up.

"As I said, she is an excellent cultural relic appraiser." Ji Li said, "So she also has many enemies."

Ying Yunsheng: "Will cultural relics identification bring revenge?"

"Businessmen are easy to be kidnapped, politicians are easy to be assassinated, scientists develop new products that may be detained abroad, and medical masters who occasionally fail may be the source of a medical trouble. Since these tasks are prone to disputes, why are cultural relics not identified? meeting?"

Ji Li also wet the rag with water: "Anyone who reaches the pinnacle of a certain industry and has more interests involved will not be able to live a truly peaceful life. What's more, the value of cultural relics involved in archeology may easily be the same as that of an ordinary person for a lifetime." You can't earn astronomical sums, once such a temptation is presented, how many people can not be tempted at all?"

Ying Yunsheng didn't speak.

"The original car accident was premeditated. This incident was the result of what the police told me later. The driver has already been imprisoned, and I can only temporarily suspend school because of illness."

After Ji Li finished telling the story, he turned off the tap and wrung out the towel: "No, you go and clean the room, and I'll clean the living room."

Ying Yunsheng went out with the towel.

The moon outside the window emerged from the clouds.

After the two finished cleaning the house, Ying Yunsheng helped him bring up the luggage that was placed downstairs.

"Thank you."

Ying Yunsheng didn't say "No thanks", but said: "If you want to thank, can I make a request?"

Ji Li blinked: "Tell me about it."

Ying Yunsheng said, "Can I hug you again?"

Ji Li was taken aback.

In Ying Yunsheng's view, holding hands without a name or distinction is a hooliganism, and hugging must be approved by the other party.

I was under the fence just now because of emotional overflow, which is a special reason.

Ji Li nodded.

Ying Yunsheng hugged him, and patted his back with his hands, carefully comforting him.

Ji Li immediately understood why he made such a request: "Are you coaxing a child?"

Ying Yunsheng said mercilessly, "You are underage."

"A minor is older than you."

"Uh..." The topic of age obviously couldn't go on.

Ying Yunsheng let go of him: "Rest early."

Ji Li nodded: "Good night."

The next day, Ying Yunsheng went to the town to work as usual.

In the afternoon, Ji Li took the time to pack up his things, packed the parts that were still usable in cardboard boxes, called a car and moved them to the courier station in the town, packed them and sent them to Chongliu City.

He was not clear about the changes in the town over the past few years, so he searched for the location of the department store with his mobile phone, followed the navigation all the way, and somehow got into the narrow road between the two houses.

A light can be seen from a distance of ten meters in front.

Ji Li walked along the wall, and the narrow passage gradually came to an end.

Before he had time to step out, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind him at this moment, covering his mouth and nose violently.

A rag was used.

Ji Li held his breath reflexively, but still accidentally took half a breath.He suddenly threw the person behind him away forcefully, and when he hit the wall, he heard a cry of pain from the other person.

is a woman.

The woman probably didn't expect him to be able to struggle away, and yelled frantically as she came to grab him: "Why are you running? Come back with me!"

The effect of the medicine came on too quickly, Ji Li had just stepped out of the narrow alley, and before he had time to run two steps, his body lost his strength.

Vision instantly blurred.

Ying Yunsheng called Ji Li after get off work and borrowed the mobile phone of the local boss who worked part-time.

Ji Li has no habit of not answering strangers' numbers, but Ying Yunsheng didn't wait for the other party to pick up or hang up. He felt strange. After returning home, he put down his things, picked up the handset on the coffee table, and made a call.

Still no one answered.

Ying Yunsheng was about to hang up the phone and go upstairs, but the dial interface suddenly changed to a call interface.

"Ceremony?"

There was an unfamiliar voice on the opposite side: "Hello?"

Ying Yunsheng's voice became cold: "Who are you? Where is the owner of this number?"

The opposite party was at a loss: "I don't know, I picked up this phone on the street, and no one came to claim it after waiting for a long time, and I don't know the password... How come someone you know lost the phone? Then you are free now Come and get..."

The cold wind outside the window suddenly passed through the hall, filling his clothes all at once.

Ying Yunsheng was covered in cold sweat all of a sudden: "I'll get it, you tell me the address."

An address was reported on the opposite side.

Ying Yunsheng hung up and dialed again: "Hi, I want to call the police."

The time between closing and opening eyes was only a moment for Ji Li to get up, but when he turned his head and saw the sky outside the high glass window, he realized that it was already night.

There was a strong smell of sulfur in the air, and what he was leaning against was a box of fireworks, the kind that every household would set off during Chinese New Year, including the same fireworks as far as he could see.

A chair was placed on the ground directly opposite, and a man was sitting there, staring at him with dark eyes.

The woman's clothes still had scratches from hitting the wall before, and she was actually just middle-aged, but her hair was withered and yellow, and her demeanor was older than her appearance.

"You made Ting Hua go to jail?"

Ji Li's hands and feet were tied, he couldn't move at all, and he didn't make a sound.

The woman persisted, and asked again: "You made Ting Hua go to jail?"

"Who is Tinghua?" Ji Li looked at the woman's face, searched through his memory, and read the name mentioned in the police's words about the driver who caused the car accident four years ago, "Lu Tinghua?"

The woman got up and approached him, grabbed his collar, and slammed her head against the wall.

"Boom-"

A muffled sound.

"It really is you." The woman's face has never been calm since he spoke, and her fingers are strangling his neck, because her voice is hoarse, and it sounds like a ghost when it suddenly rises, "It's you, it's you who made my family ding Hua is in jail, you are the one who ruined my house..."

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door, and then someone shouted, "Is anyone there?"

The woman fell silent immediately, and lowered her head to stare at the man whose neck was strangled by her hands: "If you dare to speak out, I will strangle you right now."

The people outside were still shouting, "Is there anyone there?"

It was always quiet inside.

The sound of people's footsteps gradually going away could be heard outside, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still on hold, her eyes looked at him and turned around, suddenly she took a rag from somewhere beside her, and stuffed it directly into his mouth , turned around and left through the side door.

Looking at her back, Ji Li frowned, and just as he touched the knot on her ankle, he suddenly smelled a fragrance wafting from nowhere in the air.

He was startled, and there was another movement outside at this moment.

With a bang, the iron gate was forced open.

It's the police.

The two immediately ran to the hostage in the corner, and the others spread out to search around. One of them found the light button on the wall and was about to take a picture of——

The rag was taken out of Ji Li's mouth, regardless of being tied up on his body: "Don't press it!"

The man shook his hand: "What?"

"It's full of gas, once the light is turned on and sparks are generated, it will explode directly!"

The person who was about to turn on the light was startled.

The squatting policeman has already untied the rope on his body, and together with his companions, he is protecting him away from the scene.

Ji Li has been tied up for too long, the blood in his body is not circulating, his hands and feet are weak, and he almost tripped when he walked out of the threshold. The moment he was grabbed by his collar and hit the wall just now, he felt nothing but pain, but now he is It was very difficult to see the people waiting outside when the eyes turned black when they moved a little.

Ying Yunsheng subconsciously wanted to help him just now, but his hands were still in the air. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his ears as if he saw something.

"Bam—"

There was a sudden loud noise in the space filled with fireworks, and the wide-open doors and windows were instantly filled with flame-filled red light, splashing out dazzling radiance.

Ji Li couldn't hear the movement around him clearly for a few seconds, and he didn't feel the familiar suffocation in his chest until the tinnitus caused by the loud noise gradually subsided.

He slowly grasped the sleeve of the person in front of him, and moved his lips very lightly.

Ying Yunsheng didn't hear clearly, looking at him, his face paled instantly, and his voice trembled: "What?"

"It hurts," he said. "My heart hurts."
