Strategy

Sang Tian was silent for a while, and called Lin Xue: "Bofei and Jiang Cheng should be tired, let's send them back after eating."

Lin Xue looked at Sang Tian's face and nodded.

The four of them took a taxi, drove through the bustling business district, made seven turns, and came to a deep and cramped alley.

Driver: "I can only drive here, the alley in front is too narrow to pass."

Lin Xue got out of the car and called Jiang Cheng, "Let's go, I'll take you in."

Jiang Cheng glanced at Miao Kefei.

Miao Kefei: "Don't worry, Coach Lin is very powerful, she will send you home safely." She seemed to know that it was wrong for the two little girls to sneak out, so she tried her best to behave well in front of Sang Tian.

Jiang Cheng finally got out of the car.

Lin Xue lazily walked to Jiang Cheng's side. She was actually very familiar with this kind of alley. When she first returned to Beicheng, she left all her money to Chao Shu and Aunt Chao. She also lived in such an alley.

There are small advertisements plastered on the utility poles.Above the head is a tangle of wires that do not know whether they are useful or not, dividing the sky into fragments.In broad daylight, there are actually mice running by.

Perhaps Jiang Cheng's parents had already tried their best to find a place to stay in Beicheng.

Jiang Cheng walked beside Lin Xue, still secretly glancing at Lin Xue.

Lin Xue: "I've been peeking at me all afternoon."

Jiang Cheng was startled, shaking like a little rabbit.

Lin Xue: "keep peeping at me, but never say a word to me, why? Do I look fierce?"

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

There are three reasons why she has been peeking at Lin Xue: first, Lin Xue has been wearing a hat and mask, which feels very mysterious; He called "Coach Lin" very affectionately, and stuck to Lin Xue like an octopus.

However, she did feel that Lin Xue was very fierce. Although she spoke softly to Miao Kefei and another beautiful sister, her eyes were always sharp.

Lin Xue: "You read that right, I'm quite fierce."

Jiang Cheng said in his heart: Just look and I'll know!Fortunately, I didn't talk to you!

Lin Xue went on to say: "So, if someone bullies you in the class in the future, just tell me and I will beat them up."

Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Xue in surprise: "How can an adult hit a child?"

Lin Xue smiled through the mask: "Because I am not a kind adult, I am quite fierce, remember?"

Jiang Cheng stared at her blankly.

She felt uncomfortable being watched by Jiang Cheng again, scratched her head, simply took off her hat and mask, and lowered her head to Jiang Cheng: "Come on, let's see enough."

Ah, it turned out to be such a face.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself: The overall facial features look sharp, but the whole face looks soft.Maybe there are adults like her in the world, who are fierce and sharp on the outside, but soft and gentle on the inside, like the only teddy bear Jiang Cheng had when he was a child.

And unlike her parents, who are always low-key to the outside world, they become fierce when facing her: "Why do they bully you when they don't bully others? Next time if you are ignorant at school, I will beat you up."

Maybe it was because Lin Xue's face was warmed by the afternoon sun, and Jiang Cheng somehow got a burst of courage in his heart, and reached out to hold Lin Xue's fingertips.

Lin Xue was startled.

Jiang Cheng said in a small voice, "Thank you."

Xue Lin: "Thank you for what?"

Jiang Cheng's voice became softer: "Thank you for being a very fierce adult."

Lin Xue laughed, took Jiang Cheng's little hand back, and led her towards home.

******

Sang Tian asked the driver to wait at the entrance of the alley with his watch on. After Lin Xue returned to the car, the two of them sent Miao Kefei home together.

The two got off the car and sent Miao Kefei to the gate of the community. Miao Kefei knew that her mother must still be working overtime, and she didn't want to go back to face the cold big house alone, and pestered the two of them a lot about figure skating training.

Miao Kefei said like a little adult: "I am very careful in training now, and I am most afraid of getting hurt."

Sang Tian laughed at her: "Afraid of pain?"

Miao Kefei shook her head: "After being injured, I couldn't go on the ice for a while. Now skating is my favorite thing. It's hard not to go on the ice."

Sang Tian fell silent.

Skating is Miao Kefei's favorite thing, but it is the only thing in Lin Xue's life in the past 20 years.

Miao Kefei felt uncomfortable not being able to go on the ice, but what about Lin Xue?

Now Sang Tian already knew the answer.

When the two walked from the entrance of the community to the side of the road to take a taxi, Sang Tian kept silent.

Lin Xue called her: "Sang Tian."

Sang Tian turned to look at Lin Xue, obviously smiling, but the afternoon sunlight was filtered by the shaking leaves, forming bright and dark shadows. Half of Sang Tian was bathed in the sun, and the other half was hidden in the shadows. His whole body was divided into two parts .

It seems to be pulling infinitely.

She smiled a little weakly: "Are you tired? I went back to the mall to get some ice and went to the hospital to accompany the old lady. You should go home early and rest."

She emphasized: "Go back to your own home."

It seems that I really need some space to be alone to think about some things.

Lin Xue: "Then at least let me accompany you back to the mall to get some ice."

Just now, the incident with Miao Kefei and Jiang Cheng made them forget Bingdundun in the shopping mall, and now they had to take a taxi to go back.

Sang Tian was sitting in the back row on the left, with his right hand on the seat, and turned his head to look out the window on the left.

Lin Xue sat in the back row on the right side, turned her head and looked out the window on the right side, and climbed two steps on the seat with her fingers, just enough to hold Sang Tian's fingertips in her hands.

Lin Xue's hands were soft and warm.

But is this enough?

Lin Xue looked out the car window and said, "Sang Tian, ​​can I tell you something?"

Sang Tian: "Well, tell me."

Lin Xue: "Actually, I'm not a person who likes to eat. Even if I can't taste the taste, I can still look at the scenery outside the window like now, smell the aroma of pineapples sold by the hawker, and hold your hand."

She turned her head and looked at Sang Tian: "These feelings are still there, for me, that's enough."

She was afraid that Sang Tian would not believe it, so she shook Sang Tian's hand and looked at Sang Tian with sincere eyes: "It's true."

Others may not be able to see the change in Lin Xue's eyes, but Sang Tian can tell that Lin Xue's eyes have become so blunt, like a little bear who will give you all the honey, very cute, but not her wolf cub .

Sang Tian held Lin Xue's hand back and smiled: "I'm a little tired today, let's talk about this tomorrow, okay?"

******

Sang Tian stayed with Sang Jia in the hospital for a while, and asked Yang Jingsi to keep an eye on her, and came out of the hospital again.

She went to an ice rink.

In fact, except for taking Miao Kefei to ice on the Shicha Sea once in her life, she has never been on the ice again. After all, she has a full understanding of her sports skills that she had to pass the college physical education exam three times.

But today, she just wanted to try what it would be like to actually skate on the ice.

The ice rink she came to was for entertainment, and some staff members acted as temporary guides on and off the rink. One of them arranged for Sang Tian to change the skates, and let Sang Tian go to the adult rink first.

He looked at it for a while and really couldn't stand it anymore, and slid to Sang Tian's side: "You said our ice rink is not cheap, you didn't spend money to make a poster, did you?"

He described it very accurately, because Sang Tian was shivering against the wall the whole time.

Sang Tian wanted to cry but had no tears: "They are all skating too hard! I'm afraid they will bump into me!"

The guide sighed: "You should go to the children's playground."

Sang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly walked out with the help of the wall, stepping on the skates, and stepping on her duck. When she was about to step into the children's playground, the guide called her: "Hey, where are you going?"

Sang Tian: "Children's playground."

Guidance: "That's the playground for children aged nine to 12, you can move forward and go to the one for ages five to eight."

Sang Tian: ...

But after entering the five-to-eight-year-old field, she had to admit that the coach's judgment was correct, well, this is her world.

She finally dared to hold on to the wall and slowly slid bit by bit.

Beside her is a cute round-faced little dumpling, probably only five or six years old, who looks like a miniature version of Di Ruoxin.It shouldn't be the first time I've been on the ice, but I'm still very unskilled. I slipped for a while, fell, slipped for a while, and fell again.

The tears in my eyes could hardly be held back, and I was about to start crying with a "wow".

Sang Tian quickly thought about it.

At this time, a very neat figure slid over from the entrance of the ice rink. He was only eight or nine years old, still a child, but compared with the little dumpling in front of him, he was already developing towards the slender direction of a girl.

That face even felt a little cold, a bit like Lin Xue.

She slid in front of Xiaotuanzi and said coldly, "Don't cry, stand up."

Xiaotuanzi looked at her aggrieved and called, "Sister."

Elder sister: "Didn't you say that you want to skate like me?" She skated neatly around Xiaotuanzi, making Sang Tian look dumbfounded.

She has been a sports reporter for a while, and now she can see that this little girl is very talented. She is probably receiving professional training, and only accompanied her sister to this recreational ice rink on weekends.

Who knows if she will be the next Chu Lingxue or Dai Qing in a few years?

The little girl said coldly to her sister: "I fell out again and again like this. If you don't want to fall, go home and play with your doll. You are not allowed to cry here. Bing never likes weak crying bags."

After she finished speaking, she went skating outside the ice rink without looking back, and went directly to her children's playground for children aged nine to 12, leaving Xiaotuanzi here alone.

Sang Tian now wants to see how things develop.

Seeing Xiaotuanzi twitching twice, she thought Xiaotuanzi was going to give up, but she didn't expect Xiaotuanzi to stand up with tears in her eyes, and she did the same thing as before, skating, falling, skating, and falling again.

He looked like he was going to cry again, but he fought back desperately.

In order to talk to Xiaotuanzi, Sang Tian left her enclosure tremblingly, and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of pain now?"

"I'm afraid." Xiaotuanzi said with a red nose, "but I want to learn to skate, and wrestling is what I should do."

At that moment, Sang Tian was shocked.

She suddenly thought, no wonder a famous writer said - "I have learned the most important truths in life in kindergarten."

Doesn't the little girl understand the truth of life better than she does?

Why is it that an adult like her wants to learn to skate, but cowardly runs away when she knows she will fall?

Sang Tian sniffed, and finally followed Xiao Tuanzi, trembling and really slipping.

Her athletic ability is really bad!I don't know how Sangjia turned her into a fox. Her feet were so slippery, not as far as that of a five or six-year-old Xiaotuanzi. Baji fell and sat on the ground rubbing her buttocks.

Seeing that she was not the only one wrestling, Xiaotuanzi was also happy, and slid back in front of Sang Tian with a smile: "Does it hurt?"

Sang Tian also smiled: "It hurts."

She is an adult with a high center of gravity, and there are so many invisible burdens on her shoulders. When she falls, it is of course much heavier and more painful than a five or six-year-old Xiaotuanzi.

But Sang Tian discovered something while rubbing his butt.

Compared with the pain after the real wrestling, the fear before the wrestling is the most painful.

******

Sang Tian was sweating from falling on the ice rink, and took a shower after returning home. When he came out of the bathroom with a dry towel wrapped in his hair, he received a call from Chi Xia: "Are you home?"

Sang Tian: "Yes."

Chi Xia: "I'm downstairs at your house, is it convenient to come down and have a chat?"

Sang Tian: "Okay, come down immediately."

Sang Tian changed her clothes and went downstairs, and saw Chi Xia squatting by the flower bed smoking a cigarette, she walked over and said, "Give me one too."

Chi Xia glanced at her: "Have you learned it?"

Sang Tian smiled and shook his head: "I guess learning to smoke is out of the question, so I just pretend to be deep."

She probably knew what Chi Xia wanted to talk to her about.

Chi Xia lit a cigarette and handed it to Sang Tian, ​​Sang Tian held it between his fingers, jumped onto the flower bed and squatted next to Chi Xia, their cigarette butts were flickering in the spring night, the air smelled of tree joints, occasionally a three- The flower cat passed by them, gave them a meow, and walked away lazily, yawning.

Chi Xia said: "I purposely came to find you alone, otherwise Tang Shishan would want to slap you when she sees you now, and I can't even talk to you properly."

Sang Tian: "Why did you run out alone? Isn't Tang Shishan sticking with you at such a late night?"

Chi Xia blushed and glared at Sang Tian.

Sang Tian smiled.

Chi Xia: "Okay, I'm sacrificing myself to come to you! Let Tang Shishan do something like that and I'll just fall asleep from exhaustion!"

Sang Tian was a little shocked.

She still remembered Tang Shishan's birthday, the loud and clear high-pitched voice from the cabin by the lake, she felt that Tang Shishan was a person with good physical strength, and now Chi Xia could make Tang Shishan fall asleep from exhaustion, how many times would it take ah!

She said to Chi Xia, "Just wait."

She hurried to the neighborhood supermarket to buy a bottle of water for Chi Xia, and handed it to Chi Xia: "Do you really need it?"

Chi Xia glared at Sang Tian and blushed even more, but she really needed it, so she had to reach out to take it, and drank most of the bottle in one go.

Sang Tian waited for Chi Xia to relax for a while, and said, "I know what you want to talk to me about."

Chi Xia shook the purified water bottle and took another puff of cigarette: "I just want to ask you, why, Sang Tian?"

"The matter of Cha Chaoxi is the game you brought me and Lin Xue into. It's all here. How can you say that you just let go?"

"I came here today to tell you that whether you investigate this matter or not, I will investigate it by myself."

Sang Tian: "Let me tell you something, I used to have a colleague from the social group, even if Yun En was involved in a news investigation, he was forced to death by Yun En."

Chi Xia took a deep look at Sang Tian.

That look in her eyes almost made Sang Tian think that Chi Xia knew that she was reborn and that what she was talking about was about her in her previous life.

Sang Tian suddenly had a bold idea: Wait a minute, Chi Xia was also reborn, right?

The reason why Chi Xia retreated from the front line was that several special police officers were sacrificed in a fight with a drug fan. Chi Xia watched her comrades sacrifice in front of her, wiped the blood and tears on her face and continued to rush upwards.

Chi Xia was also seriously injured that time, and lay in the hospital for several days before waking up.

Could it be that Chi Xia had already died once?

Sang Tian firmly believes that only those who have experienced death can truly understand the horror of death, just like herself.

Chi Xia said: "I didn't find out what Yunen could hold in my hands, but during the investigation, I also felt Yunen's peeing. Dealing with such a pharmaceutical company, it's really not right to lose your life." impossible."

Sang Tian: "Then aren't you afraid?"

Chi Xia smoked a cigarette and smiled: "I'm afraid, but to be honest, I'm even more afraid that this world will become bad."

Sang Tian was startled: "Why?"

"Because of Tang Shishan."

Chi Xia blew out a wisp of smoke towards the moon, showing a maturity that didn't match her age, a vicissitudes that only came after going through a lot of things: "Sang Tian, ​​let me tell you the truth, there was a time when I just When I got out of the military, I hated the world."

"At that time, I watched my comrade-in-arms fall in blood. For the first time, I knew that people can bleed so much blood that I couldn't cover it with my hands... At that time, my heart was full of hatred. I hated why good people don't live long. There are so many bad guys getting away with it."

"Until I met Tang Shishan, she liked to do medical research so purely, and she liked to be me so purely. Many times when I hugged her, I felt that the world was still clean."

Sang Tian: "Xiaochi, let me tell you the truth, it's the first time I've heard people raise the realm of body communication to such a high level."

Chi Xia smiled: "In short, I don't hate this world anymore, I still like it occasionally, such as when I met a cat just now, when I look at the moon now, or when I hug Tang Shishan."

"If this world is not clean or pure, it's not good, Tang Shishan will be sad." Chi Xia twitched her lips: "Who wants to make his own woman sad?"

Sang Tian was silent for a while: "So you're not even afraid of death? Death is actually...very scary."

Her fingers holding the cigarette were trembling, and long-burned ash fell from her fingers.

Chi Xia: "I know Sang Tian, ​​believe me, I really know."

Chi Xia said this in a very serious tone, and Sang Tian didn't know if it was because she had witnessed the death of her comrades-in-arms, or as Sang Tian guessed, she herself died once and was reborn.

No matter what it is, she is now laughing mischievously and nonchalantly: "After all, isn't it just a moment? When you really die, you don't know how to be afraid."

Sang Tian suddenly remembered that she was on the ice rink this afternoon, and it really hurt to fall on her buttocks, but to be honest, it was better than the fear that she had been holding on to the fence and worrying about falling.

Sang Tian: "Fuck it."

Chi Xia squinted at her: "It's rare for me to pretend to be deep, even if you don't like it, don't swear, okay?"

"I don't want to scold you." Sang Tian also smiled: "I just want to say, you continue to investigate, I will investigate with you."

Chi Xia: "That's good."

As the moonlight shone brightly, Chi Xia's face faded from the usual cynicism and became focused and deep. Sang Tian seemed to see her before she was discharged from the army. promise.

From the moment Chi Xia took off her special police uniform, the epaulets were no longer on her shoulders, but under the moonlight tonight, Sang Tian could see something shining on her shoulders.

Sang Tian thought, Tang Shishan, you are so happy.

Even if Chi Xia is really gone in the end, you will be happy if you guard the lovely world she left for you.

******

On the next Sunday, Sang Tian went to the company to work overtime, and went to the hospital to see Sang Jia after get off work.

She spent a lot of money to pack the expensive seafood porridge, and called Yang Jingsi to eat it together.

Sang Jia had a spoonful of abalone and a spoonful of sea cucumber, and it was a little uncomfortable to eat: "Sang Tian, ​​what do you mean? Is it because I am going to die and you bought me such expensive porridge?"

Sang Tian was startled: "Bah, bah, bah! Why are you so outspoken, old lady!" She collected herself: "Let me tell you, this is for your goddaughter, I bought it for your goddaughter, right?" Bought for you."

Yang Jingsi was quite blunt while drinking the porridge: "I knew you had something to ask me, so tell me what's the matter?"

Sang Tian: "The last time you sold the limited-edition mask in your live broadcast room, didn't it spread on the Internet that applying one skin will change Zifeng, and applying two skins will change it? I really can't grab it. You can ask the brand to help me get two boxes." .”

Sang Jia interrupted while drinking the porridge: "What mask is so miraculous? I want it too."

Yang Jingsi: "Godmother, you don't know, the mask is so popular now that it is harder to grab than Bingdundun, I can't even grab it myself."

Sang Tian squinted at her: "Then spit out all the abalone and sea cucumber you ate just now!"

"Why are you so stingy?" Yang Jingsi smiled: "Did I say I won't give it to you? Two boxes for you and two boxes for my godmother, okay?"

Sang Tian patted her on the shoulder: "This is my dear sisters! Otherwise, there will be a pile of glutinous rice cakes and butterfly cakes on the little wolf dog's side, and I will be under great pressure!"

After finishing the porridge, when Sang Tian cleaned up and went to the corridor to throw out the trash, she guessed that Yang Jingsi would follow her out.

Sure enough, Yang Jingsi walked to the trash can: "Tell me, what are you asking me for?"

Sang Tian glanced at her.

Yang Jingsi: "You are a person who still wants to apply Dabao every day when you are in college. If you suddenly become interested in some online celebrity mask, you will be a ghost."

Sang Tian smiled: "Actually, it's nothing serious, I just plan to tell you the password of my bank card, so you can remember it."

Yang Jingsi was taken aback: "What are you doing? You don't want to propose to me by the trash can, do you?"

"Fuck you." Sang Tian scolded with a smile: "Why should I propose to you? I've been guarding the crooked neck tree of little wolf dog all my life."

Yang Jingsi: "Then why did you suddenly tell me the bank card password?"

Sang Tian: "I watched a movie last night, and I was very moved. The heroine overcame all kinds of obstacles from her mother's ex-girlfriend and her incompetent younger brother, and finally got married. The result is that the second girl is at the pre-wedding party. choked on a salty olive."

Yang Jingsi was dumbfounded: "...What movie is so magical?"

Sang Tian: "In short, my feeling is that people have good and bad fortune. If I choke to death on salted olives one day, you see that the little wolf dog is very busy with training. If there is something wrong with my mother, don't worry about it." Hold on."

Yang Jingsi: "Can you say something auspicious? What crap movie made you feel this way? Just tell me the name, and I'll go see it too."

Sang Tian grinned: "What's the point of watching that kind of bad movie! Anyway, my bank card password is xxxxxx, but I guess it's useless if you remember it. I will definitely live with you as a white-haired old lady. Let's go dye your hair together, you will be the feather duster and I will be the macaw."

Yang Jingsi: "Fuck you, why don't you be a feather duster!"

Sang Tian smiled and hugged Yang Jingsi's shoulders: "Let's go! Let's go back to the ward and let your godmother see who is suitable to be a feather duster."

Yang Jingsi poked Sang Tian: "Don't say such scary things in the future, even if there is a salty olive stuck in your throat, you have to swallow it for me, hear?"

Sang Tian fully agreed: "I will definitely work hard! Just like how Ultraman fought the little monster!"

The mouth is poor, but the promise is very solemn in the heart——

Don't worry, as long as there is a slight possibility of reversing the fate, I will definitely live desperately and desperately.
