between light and shadow

Following the sound, Ji Bai ran into the kitchen behind the house, and saw Xun Ran wrestling with a man.In the kitchen at night there was only a small dim light, Ji Bai looked at the old photos on the file, and vaguely recognized that the man was Zhang Wei.He was waving a kitchen knife in his hand, he should have taken it from the kitchen casually, Xun Ran was trying to take it away from him.Xiaomin and Aunt Feng stood aside, wanting to help Xunran but unable to do so.

Ji Bai didn't have time to think about it, he rushed forward to join the fight, trying to separate the two, his first thought was to protect Xunran's safety.Ji Bai's sudden appearance immediately distracted the man, Xun Ran took the opportunity to punch Zhang Wei in the abdomen, Zhang Wei bent down in pain and took a step back, the knife fell to the ground.Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Wei suddenly took out a gun.

"Don't move!"

Everyone froze in place, and the suddenly quiet space made people feel even more suffocated.Instinctively, Ji Bai grabbed at his waist, but it was in vain. Then he remembered that they were not on duty this time, and they didn't bring guns.

"Zhang Wei, what do you want?"

At this time, Ji Bai was the closest to Zhang Wei, his tone was very calm, but his eyes were fixed on the dangerous weapon in Zhang Wei's hand.

"I should be asking you this sentence!"

Zhang Wei's gun was pointed at Xiaomin, and Xun Ran strode in front of Xiaomin.

"It's been so many years, I'm about to retire, why don't you let me go?"

"Where is my brother?"

Xiaomin bravely walked out from behind Xunran, but Xunran still used half of her body to block in front of Xiaomin.

"How do I know? At that time, I handed over the money to the person. I took the money and left. The rest is none of my business."

"It's none of your business? You abducted my brother! I was ruined by you, do you know that?!"

"I had no choice but to blame you for my bad luck. I know you won't let me go, and we'll die together!"

Zhang Wei pulled the breech of the gun, Xun Ran hastily pulled Xiaomin behind him to protect him, and Ji Bai walked up to Zhang Wei trying to draw his attention away.

"Zhang Wei, calm down! Put down the gun first, we can have a good talk."

"What else is there to talk about? Don't think I dare not shoot!"

Zhang Wei suddenly raised his gun and fired a shot in the air.Several tiles from the ceiling fell with the deafening gunshot, and Ji Bai and the others bent down to protect their heads with their hands.In the chaos, Ji Bai saw Aunt Feng rushing towards Zhang Wei, trying to grab the gun in Zhang Wei's hand, but it was too late for Ji Bai to stop it.

"Aunt Feng, don't!"

Before he finished speaking, the second gunshot rang out, and Aunt Feng fell down slowly. Ji Bai rushed up to check Aunt Feng's injuries, only to see that her abdomen was bright red and bleeding profusely.Xiaomin and Xunran also ran over, and Xiaomin tried to stop Aunt Feng's bleeding with trembling hands.

Ji Bai looked up and saw Zhang Wei, only then did he realize that he got up and ran out to chase after him, but Zhang Wei's shadow could not be seen at all outside.

Ji Bai walked around outside the house, panting and turned to go back to the house, but saw Xiaomin and Xun Ran running out with Aunt Feng in their arms.

"Go to the hospital!"

There is only one simple clinic in the village without sufficient equipment, and the nearest small hospital is about 10 minutes away by car.It turned out that when they rushed to the hospital, it was still too late.Before Aunt Feng closed her eyes, she looked at the three young men in front of her and said only one sentence: "Live well."

Xiaomin caressed Aunt Feng's gradually freezing body in a daze, feeling like a knife was piercing her heart.She was the one who killed Aunt Feng.Aunt Feng has lived a peaceful life in the village for decades, and Xiaomin only came back for one day, but it brought such an end.

The life and death of the younger brother is unknown, maybe he will never be found again, Aunt Feng has also left, and now she is really living alone in this world.Xiaomin cried bitterly in Xunran's arms.Xun Ran gently hugged Xiaomin, with the same gentle voice, "You still have me."

Ji Bai followed the local police to search in and out of the village, but still couldn't find Zhang Wei.They guessed that Zhang Wei had fled the village.Ji Bai desperately kept calling Mingcheng, wanting to find out, but the communication in the village was poor, and it was always difficult to get through the phone. Occasionally, he got through to Mingcheng, but he didn't answer the phone.If it wasn't for his sense of reason, Ji Bai almost wanted to throw the phone away.

When Ji Bai returned to the hospital, it was already dawn.Xiaomin and Xunran also completed the formalities, Aunt Feng's body will be sent to the funeral home.When he was about to leave the hospital, Xun Ran suddenly fell to the ground, his feet hurt so badly that he was unable to stand up.In fact, he has endured it for a long time. From the dull pain at the beginning, it hurts his heart just to take a small step now.Xiaomin was worried that Xunran might have a stress fracture, so she hurriedly helped him to have a checkup.

Ji Bai insisted on waiting until Xiao Min walked into the emergency room with Xun Ran's support, before he stumbled and ran to the stairwell to hide.His head hurts again, and the increasingly severe pain has already made him a little numb, but his hands instinctively took out the painkiller from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

He sat on the steps, pressed his head with his hands and held his breath, quietly waiting for the relief of the pain.The phone in his pocket finally vibrated, and when Ji Bai saw that the caller ID was a set of codes representing Mingcheng, he couldn't help shouting at the phone, "Why don't you answer the phone?!"

"Can I answer your call casually?"

Ji Bai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.After a while, he managed to control his breathing and tone of voice a little.

"Didn't you say that Zhang Wei is on the Yunnan border? Why did he appear in Pingcun?"

Mingcheng also just found out that Li Yaman ordered Zhang Wei to find some newcomers, probably to prepare for a new deal, but Mingcheng didn't know what that deal was, let alone Zhang Wei ran to Pingcun.

So Zhang Wei probably came back to Pingcun to find someone who could help him.But now that Zhang Wei is a wanted criminal, where will he escape?Will Riyaman still use him?Will Zhang Wei still be unfavorable to Xiaomin?And the sore feet...

Ji Bai immediately takes Xunran and Xiaomin back to Binshi.After returning to Binshi, he drove directly to the hospital. It happened that Zhao Qiping was on duty, and immediately arranged for Xunran to stay in the hospital for a detailed examination, and Xiao Min stayed with Xunran.Ji Bai then went back to the police station to reorganize the files of Li Yaman, Fang Hong and Zhang Wei, and then applied for a protection order for Xiaomin.

Near ten o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang suddenly. Tang Xin did not expect Ji Bai to come suddenly at this time.

"Third brother, what's the matter?"

With a tired face, Ji Bai dragged the suitcase in silently, his transparent eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist at this moment, he just stared at Tang Xin blankly, but stopped his words, saying Not exported.

Annie, who came out of the room when she heard the doorbell, saw Ji Bai and Tang Xin facing each other. She immediately packed her simple luggage wisely and said that she was going to find Zhao Qiping.Annie already had the key to Zhao Qiping's house, and she could go there at any time.

Tang Xin saw that Ji Bai's clothes were wrinkled, stained with sand-like stains, and...the dark red ones, were they bloodstains?She seldom saw Ji Bai in such a distressed state, so she took a closer look, and it seemed that Ji Bai was not injured, but Ji Bai didn't say anything, Tang Xin had no choice but to ask Ji Bai to take a bath first, and Ji Bai walked into the bathroom as he said. .

Ji Bai's suitcase was open in the corner of the room, Tang Xin looked at the messy clothes and belongings in the suitcase, it didn't look like Ji Bai's usual neatness and orderliness.Something must have happened, but Tang Xin reminded herself again and again, don't ask if Ji Bai doesn't tell her.

When Ji Bai came out of the bathroom, he was only wearing a pair of shorts, with a towel hanging on his bare shoulders, and his hair was still wet.Tang Xin took the towel off Ji Bai's shoulders and asked Ji Bai to sit down by the bed to dry his hair, but Ji Bai suddenly pulled Tang Xin into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he never wanted to The excitement of parting.Tang Xin was stunned for a moment before she realized it, and then buried her head in Ji Bai's chest, as if she could feel Ji Bai's heartbeat.Ji Bai gently lifted Tang Xin's chin and kissed it deeply.

Neither the wet and cold hair tips nor the moisture on his body can stop the burning primal desire in his body.The two enjoyed the moistness of their lips until Tang Xin collapsed on the bed.Ji Bai leaned over to support the bed with both hands next to Tang Xin's head, and looked down at the flushed and shy Tang Xin.Tang Xin was like a little rabbit who couldn't escape and didn't want to escape, surrounded by Ji Bai's tall and straight body.

"Is it okay?" Ji Bai asked softly, but there was a flame that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.

Tang Xin put her arms around Ji Bai's neck, and responded with a passionate kiss.She only wants Ji Bai to be happy, if this is the only thing she can give now, she has no reason to hesitate and shrink back.

Ji Bai's hands passed through the pure cotton pajamas, moved over the smooth skin, lowered his head and gently touched the earlobes, neck, and shoulders of the person below him with his lips... Tang Xin's breathing became more and more rapid, Mixed with subtle squeaks.She closed her eyes, enjoying the numb and crisp trembling brought by the slender fingertips.When she felt her lower body being pushed in, she couldn't help but let out a low cry, reached out and grabbed Ji Bai's shoulder, touched the protruding shoulder blade, and then involuntarily cooperated with Ji Bai's rhyme movement, making both of them immersed in the Wanton ecstasy.

______________

The sky outside the window began to light up, and it was the beginning of a new day.The two of them stayed up all night.Tang Xin lay on her side and snuggled up to Ji Bai. Ji Bai hugged Tang Xin and fondled Tang Xin's hair.

"I went to Ping Village the day before yesterday, a somewhat remote village."

Ji Bai finally opened his mouth and told Tang Xin everything that happened in Ping Village.The more Tang Xin heard it, the more frightened she became. If something went wrong, Ji Bai might never come back.Maybe that's why Ji Bai never told her about his work before.But this time was different, because he finally knew that when he was the weakest, he only thought of Tang Xin.He didn't know what would happen next time, and he didn't know if he could come back safely next time, he just didn't want to have any more regrets.He wanted to love simply.

"After I have the operation, let's get married. Will you wait for me?"

"I've been waiting for you."
