Swallowing the Seas

In fact, before Zhang Boming made up his mind to offer the invitation, Agui had already been wearing a hat and mask, and went to the gate of the university several times in a low-key way to watch. He even saw the students running early in the morning from afar.At that time, in addition to his proud brother Xie Xing, there was another young student who left a deep impression on him, mainly because Xie Xing took the trouble to give him an off-site commentary every day:

"Did you see the person at the front of the line? His name is Jiang Ting, and he is my roommate!"

"The department is stable in the top three, occasionally the first, and the shooting performance is super!"

"Playing basketball is also very good, and the layup is super cool!"

……

Wu Yu was bumped into by Jiang Ting on the only day in his life when he stepped into the OUHK. This was purely an accident, otherwise it should have been just a very ordinary day for Jiang Ting.

The sun came out before going out that morning, and Jiang Ting hung the washed uniform outside to dry, but at noon the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and the humidity seemed to be brewing a heavy rain.He remembered that Xie Xing seemed to have no class at this time, so he sent a text message to his roommate asking him to help collect the clothes, but he didn't wait for a long time for a reply, probably because the phone was out of battery and the phone couldn't be connected.Reluctantly, he had no choice but to rush back to the dormitory immediately after class. As soon as he entered the room, the sky was completely overcast, and the bean-sized raindrops fell down.

"You didn't collect the uniform for me tomorrow, I sent you a text message and didn't see it..."

During that time, Jiang Ting just felt that Xie Xing was a bit strange, and he would sneak out and disappear every now and then. He had an appointment with Zhang Boming when he asked, and he often had double meals in the school cafeteria.At that time, he seemed to feel something faintly, but no matter how rich the young Jiang Ting's imagination was, it was impossible for him to immediately think of Agui's existence, let alone wearing Xie Xing's clothes, lying on Xie Xing's bed, and his figure from the back was exactly like Xie Xing's. The person who does the practice is not actually the person who understands the practice.

"By the way, Zhang Boming asked you not to go fishing." Jiang Ting turned his head to look at the back of the upper bunk, frowned and said, "Why do you two go out all the time, you should fail the class if you don't make up for it, understand?"

Ah Gui faced the wall in the dark room, not daring to say a word.

"Excuse me?"

The reason why Wu Yu lay on Xie Xing's bed was purely because of his desire to experience it, otherwise he should have left the dormitory 10 minutes ago to meet Zhang Boming downstairs.Unexpectedly, it was these 10 minutes of petty greed that made him be caught by the "legendary Jiang Ting".

Jiang Ting stepped forward suspiciously, knocked on the bed frame twice: "Are you okay?"

"..."

"Xie Xing? Are you sick?"

Agui murmured indistinctly, it sounded very hoarse and hard to distinguish.The next moment he felt someone climb up along the bed frame, and then he touched his forehead with a hand: "The temperature is not high, is it a low-grade fever?"

Ah Gui lowered his voice and murmured again, sounding rather weak.

Fortunately, Ah Gui and Xie Xing are basically the same person from the perspective of their backs, and the relationship between Jiang Ting and his roommate is not the kind of intimacy that can turn people over by their shoulders, or climb onto the bed and cuddle side by side. .Jiang Ting has a bad personality, and his physical contact with people is limited to touching his forehead. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you don't feel well, don't go to study at night. I'll get you a bottle of water and drink more. hot water."

Ah Gui said affirmatively "Well" for the third time, and finally heard the sound of footsteps going away, the bedroom door opened and closed, and at that moment cold sweat rolled down his back, he got up and jumped to the ground, not daring for half a minute He stopped and ran out the door.

If it weren't for this little episode, Ah Gui's one-day trip to the university campus could be regarded as the most glorious and perfect day in his life.But for Jiang Ting, when he finally came back from queuing up to fetch water and saw that the bed was empty, his inner feelings could be described as bewildered and suspicious.

Was that really a solution just now?

Even though Xie Xing has always been a somewhat naive and a little out-of-the-ordinary young man, he can't suddenly become like this?

What happened to him during this time?Are you falling in love all of a sudden?

Jiang Ting was full of doubts in his heart, and wanted to talk to Xie Xing several times, but the other party's attitude of denying the truth on the surface but repeatedly avoiding it made him more sure that there was a ghost in it.After a period of inquiry and observation, Jiang Ting finally confirmed his worst guess: This kid is probably in a relationship, and the other party is from outside the school.

——It was not a trivial matter to fall in love in the police academy back then, and it might cause a big problem. If the other party was an unknown person outside the school, it could even turn into a very serious big problem.

Faced with all kinds of serious possibilities, Jiang Ting finally took action.

It was a weekend staying at school, and Xie Xing slipped out of the school again under the pretext of "going fishing with Senior Brother Zhang". What he didn't realize was that this time there were a pair of calm eyes behind him.Jiang Ting followed him through the streets and alleys like a shadow, turning around, and lost track at a particularly complicated alley after more than ten minutes, so he took note of the route and the name of the alley and retreated temporarily.

That night, when Xie Xing was snoring on the upper bunk, Jiang Ting got up secretly again, took advantage of the little privileges he usually accumulated, and quietly left the school gate, followed the route again to the alley during the day, and stood still After taking a step, he looked around at the dark courtyard walls.

The surrounding courtyards are dilapidated and quiet, and a beam of moonlight slantly passes through the fence, reflecting the winding bluestone road under your feet.

His first thought was: Fortunately, at least it doesn't look like an obscene place like a prostitution den, video hall, hair washing room, or a gambling den like an illegal chess and card room, so there is still hope.

The second year was: Wait, what seemed to be Xie Xing's clothes hanging in the yard? !

A very familiar light blue standard shirt was quietly hanging on the clothesline. With the night wind gently shaking, Jiang Ting stepped on the bluestone and walked forward. He couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously touched it——

At this moment, there was a clang in the dark, and a strong wind suddenly came!

Jiang Ting wanted to hide but it was too late, his heart sank instantly.In the next moment, Li Feng brushed past his face, "Duo!" It was nailed into the mud wall with a loud sound, and the handle of the knife trembled, it was indeed a dagger!

Jiang Ting's pupils constricted, he took several steps back like lightning, and hurriedly hid in the darkness of the corner, and then the door was pushed open with a "squeak."A thin and straight figure walked down the moss-covered stone steps, turned his back to Jiang Ting and pulled out the dagger, then stood there, as if hesitating for something.

After a while, he finally turned his body slightly, and his eyes turned to the barren courtyard.

——Following this movement, the moonlight reflected a small piece of his profile, which fell into Jiang Ting's unbelievable eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't see it was you just now." The man said calmly, "It seems that Xie Xing has caused you trouble."

The clothes that were not collected on that rainy day, the back view facing the wall in the dark room, the traces left by his hasty escape, Xie Xing's strange behavior during this period...all the abnormalities are strung together in a thread, faintly in Jiang Ting's mind Unbelievable answers emerged.

But he didn't make a sound, didn't move, trying his best to suppress his beating heart.

The two of them just stood in the moonlight, and the other hid in the dark, and they couldn't hear any other sounds except each other's breathing.Jiang Ting saw the man open his mouth for a while, as if he wanted to explain something, but he closed it after a little hesitation.

"Thank you for coming to see me." In the end he said firmly and briefly, "It's getting late, go back early, and be careful."

Then he took the dagger, turned around and went back to the dilapidated hut, from the beginning to the end, without looking at the corner where Jiang Ting was hiding, he slammed the door shut.

Jiang Ting walked very slowly when he returned to school. He walked alone through the quiet street late at night, slowly and carefully thinking and analyzing the thrilling fog behind this incident from beginning to end.When he stepped into the bedroom door, combined with Xie Xing's whereabouts during this period of time, the time when various abnormal signs started, and various details that were once overlooked in daily life, he had almost guessed the whole outline of the matter, even Zhang Boming How much was involved in this matter is anyone's guess.

So when he grabbed Xie Xing from the upper bunk and slapped him awake, he avoided all the detours and hypocrisy, and asked straightforwardly:

"You dare to ask Zhang Boming to smuggle an outsider with a criminal record into the school. Do you want me to go to the school to report it, or just call 110?!"

Xie Xing woke up all at once. He opened his mouth and looked at Jiang Ting in the dark bedroom. He hesitated to speak for a while, and finally sighed helplessly:

"Jiang Ting, I was wrong, I just didn't know how to tell you..."

"If you also have a brother hiding in the dark, you will also find a way to pull him out."

——"The Shameful Brother in the Darkness".

It was as if a steel needle had pierced into the most secret corner of Jiang Ting's heart, causing his whole body's nerves to convulse instantly, and his eardrums rumbled. It was because an invisible balance in his subconscious had hit the ground heavily.

But on the surface, it was just a blink of an eye, Jiang Ting took a deep breath and collected himself:

"What is going on, tell me exactly now."

As Jiang Ting expected, Xie Xing suddenly ran out of school so anxiously and frequently because the situation outside the school had changed a little—Zhang Boming felt that the time was ripe after observing A Gui’s series of performances after returning from the OUHK campus , and finally confessed to the brothers his unformed thoughts.

He wanted Agui to take the initiative to return to Mayin, and continue to lurk in the border drug gang to become an informant for the police.

Xie Xing's first reaction was: Return to the border?Still undercover?no!What a joke!

After all, Xie Xing was not a freshman who had just entered university. He knew that being an undercover agent was a tightrope walk, and he definitely didn't want Ah Gui to take the risk of being crushed to pieces.But Zhang Boming thinks more than he does, and is more practical: first of all, Agui, as Mayin's bodyguard, is registered with the Burmese government, and he cannot live in hiding in mainland China all his life, otherwise this time bomb will never stop. There will be no explosion for two years, ten years or eight years, and one day it will definitely explode, and once it explodes, it will definitely affect Xie Xing's future; secondly, being a black citizen and being a citizen are two completely different concepts. He has been on the campus of OUHK once, and he has seen with his own eyes how his peers enjoy a life full of light and hope. Can he go back to the darkness?Is he willing?

To Ah Gui, that short day of good life was like the purest drug directly injected into his veins. How could he not be addicted?

Another thing that Zhang Boming didn't say was that the situation of Thayer's drug trafficking to the mainland was already serious at that time.The Thayer drug cartel is deeply entrenched and extremely difficult to destroy. It also occupies the poppy garden closest to the Yunnan-Yunnan border. A large part of the smuggled drugs seized at the border every year can be related to him. It has long been a serious problem for the domestic anti-drug system. .The public security department has sacrificed countless manpower, material resources and even blood for this drug lord. If a nail that pierces the heart can be placed beside him, it will definitely be an exciting moment for the tense form of the border drug struggle. good news.

As for the danger, Zhang Boming's opinion is very straightforward: Everything is dangerous these days, so why don't you stop doing it because you are afraid of death?Lin Zexu had to risk being settled by Qiu Hou for selling cigarettes in Humen!

Ah Gui is very aware of Zhang Boming's unspoken selfishness, and he also knows why he, a drug dealer, was invited to a dignified university campus. He is a person who has never been doled out by fate. with sharp hooks.

In fact, it was not that he was unwilling to take the bait, but because of many hesitation and concerns, he didn't express his position to Zhang Boming immediately.

Sending news once or twice casually, disrupting several small and medium-sized transactions, is a completely different concept from long-term undercover.He knows what the traitors in the organization will end up with, and he also knows how weak the Burmese government is in front of a big drug lord like Thayer. Since ancient times, more undercover agents in the Golden Triangle died at the hands of their own people than at the hands of the enemy. a lot of.

Is Zhang Boming really reliable?Can you convince someone at a higher level?Handling one or two drug-related cases and long-term support for intelligence work are two different things. Can the Chinese public security really become the solid backing behind the "drug dealers"?

But if Zhang Boming is not promised first, what if the shop disappears after passing the village?

Ah Gui thought over and over between agreeing and making a long-term plan, but he didn't expect his hesitant attitude to fall into Zhang Boming's eyes, which made things extremely complicated later, and even involved Xie Xing in a fatal vortex.

At this time, another incident happened suddenly, and Agui was caught off guard on the spot, so he had to stop thinking and make a decision immediately—the broker hired by Ma Yin came to the door.

That day, Xie Xing found an opportunity to sleep out on the weekend, took Jiang Ting to the secret courtyard at night, intending to formally introduce Agui to Jiang Ting, but he didn't expect to see the dimly lit car lights at the entrance of the alley. .Jiang Ting grabbed Xie Xing and pulled him into the corner of the wall. Through the cracks in the bricks, he could see three or four people leading Agui out of the yard, and one of them was still rambling: "Miss knows you're stuck here and can't get out, so I'm worried." Terrible. Let's take advantage of the low winds these days and hurry to leave the country via Yundian..."

Jiang Ting tightly covered Xie Xing's mouth, even though he had to clench his teeth so as not to make a sound.

Agui was wearing a black hoodie, with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, and the headlights reflected his straight nose and a short jaw under the brim of his hat.The corners of his mouth were pale and cold, as if he had never mentioned it in his life. He just walked to the open car door and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's the matter?" The other people suddenly became nervous.

"..."

Agui turned his head, the empty bluestone path under the moonlight was reflected deep in his pupils, and said calmly for a long time, "I thought you might come these few days, but I thought it was the night before or last night..."

After a pause, he whispered again: "Actually, I've been sitting in this yard waiting for you."

Xie Xing's scorching tears hit Jiang Ting's fingers drop by drop, and got into the crevices of his fingers.

"Ah? What? I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the broker rubbed his hands in confusion and panic, explaining, "It's a bit late, but Missy is in a hurry, and we did our best..."

Agui did not answer the broker.He finally retracted his gaze and got into the car door. The red taillights gradually disappeared into the depths of the night, leaving only the empty and quiet courtyard behind him.

"...he's been waiting for me, he's been waiting for me to bring him back..."

Xie Xing half-kneeled by the corner of the wall, with one shoulder pressed hard against the rough brick wall. After a long time, he finally let out a suppressed sob from his arms:

"No matter how much it costs, no matter how many years it takes, I will definitely bring him back from hell..."

Jiang Ting slowly squatted down, reached out and patted his roommate on the back vigorously.

The pale moonlight in the middle of the night, the dilapidated alley, and Xie Xing's bloody oath together constitute the bleakest memory of that late autumn in Jiang Ting's mind, and when he thinks about it after a long time, he will feel an unspeakable dull pain .

In his junior year, Xie Xing dropped out of school suddenly and left without saying goodbye.

Jiang Ting walked quickly through the corridor of the dormitory, opened the door with a bang, and saw the bare top bunk and the spotless and shiny tabletop.All traces of Xie Xing's existence disappeared, and that intelligent, cheerful, and vigorous young man withdrew from his life since then, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye for the last time.

He ended up on that road, and at the end of the road there were people he wanted to save.

The bedroom was strangely quiet, Jiang Ting slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and sat motionless for a long time.
