Back to when the Great Demon King was a child

[1. Punishment]

Ji Jian was talking excitedly, and didn't notice Qiao Dong's emotional changes at all. When he realized it, Qiao Dong had already rushed towards him.

Then there was a sharp pain on the cheek.

"Ow—"

Ji Jian screamed like a pig being killed, and fell to the ground.

In the next second, a warm liquid gushed out of Ji Jian's nose. He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to wipe his nose, and his hand was scarlet.

Ji Jian was terrified, got up from the ground in a hurry, looked up and saw Qiao Dong who had already walked in front of him, and scolded angrily: "Are you fucking crazy? How dare you hit me?!"

"It was you, a shameless thing, who hit you." Qiao Dong was also so provoked that he lost his reason, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time erupted at this moment, "It really took eight lifetimes of bad luck for me to suffer from your selfishness. My villain, do I owe you? Why should I give you the opportunity? "

Ji Jian said anxiously: "Who said it was your chance? We compete fairly, each according to his own ability!"

"Who wants to compete with you? You don't even have the qualifications to compete with me."

"I'm not qualified? If it weren't for me, would you have joined the municipal committee? It's not because I went to that ghost place instead of you that you can get to where you are now!"

"Fuck!" Qiao Dong spat on the ground, "It's all because of your shamelessness!"

With that said, the two wrestled together.

Although Ji Jian is strong, he is not tall, and his hands and feet are not as flexible as Qiao Dong. Not to mention he was defeated in the fight, and Qiao Dong slapped him several times on the head, making his ears buzzing. The reverberation made my head hurt as if it was about to burst.

Ji Jian was rescued from Qiao Dong's dense fists and slaps until the security guards rushed to pull them away.

It's a pity that Ji Jian's face was bruised and purple from the beating, and his whole body was in pain. On the other hand, Qiao Dong's hair and clothes were messed up, and he looked like a normal person.

"Ji Jian." Qiao Dong pointed at Ji Jian with trembling fingertips, and took two deep breaths, "What is yours is yours, what is not yours will never be yours, you have done so many wicked things, sooner or later you will retribution."

Ji Jian wiped his face with a ferocious expression: "I want you to see who will get retribution. Let's wait and see. In the future, there will be times when you come to beg me!"

Qiao Dong's face turned into a pig's liver, and he stared at Ji Jian unwillingly.

Ji Jian wanted to say something else, but in a blink of an eye, he saw many people pointing around them. After thinking about it, he had to swallow that breath forcefully, his poisoned eyes lingered on Qiao Dong's face for a moment, then turned and walked quickly Into the building.

After the security guards dispersed, Qiao Dong still stood there. The colleague who witnessed the whole process just now came to comfort him: "The list has been handed in. Even if that person sends a gold mine, there is nothing wrong with it. You can relax."

"But..." Another colleague said weakly, "The list needs to be signed and stamped by the leaders and printed into a document. There are still many processes to go, and it is not completely finalized..."

After finishing speaking, the colleague who was comforting Qiao Dong just now fell silent.

After a while, the colleague showed a slightly embarrassed smile at Qiao Dong.

After the whole day, Qiao Dong lived in fear. Fortunately, he didn't receive any bad news until the end of get off work time, so he packed up his things and prepared to go home after get off work to celebrate the New Year.

When he went downstairs, he found a dense crowd standing outside, and the air was extremely noisy.

Qiao Dong was stunned for a moment, and after looking around for a long time, he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he planned to bypass the crowd and go out through the back door.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front of them, and all of them turned their heads to look back.

Discussion ensues.

"Come out! Come out!"

"Really caught? I thought those people were talking nonsense."

"I heard that someone reported it, and the report went directly to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it was still a real-name report."

"Real-name report?! Oh my god, it's too ruthless... Director Zhang has been bullying for so long, and now he has met his enemy."

The more Qiao Dong listened, the more strange he felt. He could understand what those people said, but he just didn't understand what they meant.

What director Zhang, what was arrested, what was reported, what are these and what?

Qiao Dong scratched his head in bewilderment, turned around and looked in the direction those people were looking at, and saw two police officers in uniform walking out of the hall on the first floor with Director Zhang on their left and right sides.

Director Zhang, who used to be high-spirited and vigorous, seemed to have lost his soul at this moment. His eyes were dull, his expression was numb, his steps were staggering, and his whole body was lost, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

After hearing the voices of everyone whispering, Director Zhang's face full of despair suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He lowered his head in shame, his head almost buried in his collar, and he didn't even dare to look up at the faces of the people around him. line of sight.

Words such as "corruption", "bribery", and "going to jail" entered Director Zhang's ears intermittently, like a pair of terrifyingly sharp knives, mercilessly melting Director Zhang's heart.

Now Director Zhang is almost 60 years old, he has been aloof for decades, and enjoys the treatment of stars and moons wherever he goes. At this time, he suddenly fell from the clouds, and his old face has been lost. He wished he could disappear on the spot. In this air.

When Qiao Dong saw Director Zhang's face clearly, his jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise. He couldn't believe his eyes, and when he connected with what he had just heard, it was not difficult to guess what happened——Director Zhang Reported by real name.

Someone dared to report Director Zhang with his real name...

Before Qiao Dong could recover from the shock, he saw a familiar face coming out behind Director Zhang, sandwiched between two police officers.

That person is actually...

Jijian? !

Oh my God! ! !

Ji Jian was also arrested by the police? !

Qiao Dong thought he was hallucinating, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked there again.

He was not mistaken, that person was Ji Jian!

Compared with Director Zhang who was in a daze, Ji Jian's reaction was much more intense. He struggled and roared desperately along the way, blushing and neck thick, like a mad dog being cornered.

"You can't do this! Let me go! I told my mother that I was wronged!" Ji Jian still had the bruises from his fight with Qiao Dong in the morning. The bustling people hurriedly retreated to the side in fright.

The two police officers were unmoved, and pressed Ji Jian's arms and shoulders tightly with both hands, without giving Ji Jian any room to break free, and forced Ji Jian to walk out.

Ji Jian no longer cared about his image, and roared until his voice became hoarse.

Suddenly, he saw Qiao Dong in the crowd, and his eyes lit up.

Ji Jian was like a person in the desert who finally found an oasis. He didn't know where the strength came from, he broke free from the restraints on his body, and then ran towards Qiao Dong like crazy.

"Old Qiao! Old Qiao, you know that I was wronged. Zhang Guoming and I don't know each other at all. I work in the road administration, and I'm not a member of the municipal committee. How could I have any relationship with Zhang Guoming? Please explain to them for me!"

The people around Qiao Dong saw Ji Jian running towards him with a frenzied expression, they panicked in fright, and scattered like a tide.

Only Qiao Dong stood still, looking calmly at Ji Jian who was staring at him with the last hope.

Qiao Dong nodded: "I know."

Hearing this, Ji Jian showed an ecstatic smile on his face. He pointed at Qiao Dong, turned his head and said to the two policemen who were chasing him: "Look, my friend can testify for me. He works in the municipal committee. I often Come to him, we have been friends for many years, Zhang Guoming and I don't know each other, why should I ask Zhang Guoming?"

"You misunderstood, I mean..." Qiao Dong took up Ji Jian's words, "You have not been wronged."

"..." Ji Jian fell silent for a moment, his eyes widened, and his eyes were quickly stained with scarlet. He looked at Qiao Dong as if he wanted to swallow him alive, "What did you say?"

Qiao Dong looked at Ji Jian's embarrassed and vicious look, thinking of their friendship for so many years, and thinking of Ji Jian's actions during this period of time, he felt very uncomfortable for a while.

"I said you were not wronged by them." Qiao Dong took a deep breath before continuing, "Everyone is not blind or foolish. You come to the municipal committee to find me or Director Zhang. Everyone knows it clearly, otherwise comrades from the public security department will not be wronged." I won't catch you alone."

Ji Jian looked at Qiao Dong in disbelief.

Qiao Dong said: "Be lenient when confessing and be strict when resisting. I suggest that you should act honestly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two police officers held down Ji Jian again.

At this time, Ji Jian had forgotten to struggle, he stared at Qiao Dong, the muscles on his face suddenly twitched twice, and then he raised his voice and shouted: "Okay, Qiao Dong, you are really capable of throwing stones into trouble, don't think I I don't know if you plan to send things to Zhang Guoming, so why are you pretending here!"

Inexplicably, Qiao Dong, who was splashed with dirty water, could hardly maintain his superficial calmness. He quickly retorted: "I, Qiao Dong, am an upright person, and I do things frankly. Opportunities, everything I got was earned by hard work!"

"You fart!"

Just as Ji Jiang wanted to tell about Qiao Jianuo and Xiaobenzi, the two police officers who couldn't stand him dragged him away and stuffed him into the police car with Director Zhang.

The two police cars parked on the side of the road left one after another, and the city committee building finally became quiet.

The remaining group of onlookers sighed.

Unexpectedly, Director Zhang's big tree fell down all of a sudden, and took away an unlucky ghost by the way. It is estimated that the tree will fall and the monkeys will disperse in the future, so Director Zhang can only exist in everyone's jokes after dinner.

When Qiao Dong returned home, he still didn't recover.

Chen Yue, who got off work early, has been busy in the kitchen for a long time, cooking a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with her two children.

The TV in the living room was always on, and it was broadcasting the gala of CCTV. Four hosts in gorgeous evening gowns were in the center of the popular stage, reciting the words they had already memorized in very standard Mandarin. Good string of words.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the flavor of the New Year is very strong.

Chen Yue's face was about to burst into laughter. She took off her apron and threw it on the hanger while urging Qiao Dong, who was still standing at the door: "What are you doing waiting? Come to eat soon, why are you coming back so late? It's been a long time since it started."

[2. Chinese New Year]

Hearing Chen Yue's complaining voice, Qiao Dong suddenly struggled out of his dazed state.

He came back to see Jin Chu and Qiao Jianuo who were already sitting on the sofa, and Chen Yue who was waiting for him standing in front of the coffee table. Slippers walked over.

After dinner, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Chen Yue was busy cleaning up the dishes, Qiao Dong went back to the bedroom and changed into comfortable clothes, and came out with two red envelopes in his hand.

"Jianuo, Xiao Chu." Qiao Dong walked to the sofa, handed the red envelopes to the two children, and said kindly with a smile, "Happy New Year, I wish you all happiness, better grades, and longer life in the new year." higher."

Giorgio stared at the red envelope in front of him, and was stunned for a long time, then suddenly his eyes and nose felt a little sore.

He can no longer remember the joy of receiving red envelopes when he was a child. In his memory, since he was controlled by Tan Feiran, even meeting his parents for dinner during the Chinese New Year is an extremely extravagant thing, leaving only endless pain and resentment.

He hated Tan Feiran for treating him like that, and also hated himself for not being able to resist Tan Feiran.

"What's the matter? Why is a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth crying?" Qiao Dong was amused by Qiao Jianuo's reaction. He stuffed the red envelope into Qiao Jianuo's pocket and rubbed Qiao Jianuo's head vigorously. "Don't cry during Chinese New Year, take back your tears quickly."

At this time, Qiao Jianuo also realized his gaffe. Under Qiao Dong's ravage/ravage, he burst into tears and smiled. He wiped his face, put his arms around Qiao Dong's waist, and said in a muffled voice, "This is not what you and Mom usually give me. My pocket money is too little, otherwise how could I be so moved when I saw a big red envelope."

"You kid!" Qiao Dong stared angrily, "Are you looking for a fight?"

Qiao Jianuo quickly let go of the hand holding Qiao Dong. He stuck out his tongue at Qiao Dong, and then flexibly supported the sofa and jumped up.

Qiao Dong made a gesture to hit Qiao Jianuo.

"Beat someone! Beat someone! Dad is going to beat someone!" Qiao Jianuo yelled loudly, not forgetting to sneak to the door quickly, turned around and found no one following, he waved to Jin Chu, "Jin Chu Chu, let's go, let's set off the fireworks!"

As early as two days before the Chinese New Year, fireworks stalls were everywhere. Everyone likes to have fun during the Chinese New Year, so the business of those stalls is booming.

Chen Yue also bought a lot of fireworks when she came back from get off work, although they were not as expensive as those bought by Lian Jinhua's family, it still made Qiao Jianuo happy for a long time.

In his previous life, Qiao Jianuo settled in the Imperial Capital after graduating from university. Later, when he had the financial conditions to start a business, he brought Chen Yue and Qiao Dong to the Imperial Capital to live together.

The imperial capital has long banned fireworks and firecrackers. During the Chinese New Year, they can only watch the Spring Festival Gala, or go to the temple to offer incense. Later, Qiao Jianuo was controlled and imprisoned by Tan Feiran. Helplessly facing the moody Tan Feiran like a lunatic.

Thinking of Tan Feiran, Qiao Jianuo felt his heart twitch violently.

He closed his eyes, pale with pain.

"Giogano."

A nice but slightly indifferent voice suddenly pulled back Giorgano's thoughts.

Qiao Jianuo's eyes suddenly focused, and the next second they were fixed on Jin Chu's well-shaped face.

Jin Chu walked in front of him at some point, holding the fireworks bought by Chen Yue in his arms, his eyelids slightly lowered, and his cold eyes fell on Qiao Jianuo's face.

Then, Jin Chu asked, "What are you thinking?"

Giorgano licked his dry lips, and used a false smile to cover up the turmoil in his heart. He shrugged nonchalantly: "I'm thinking about where it would be more appropriate to set off the fireworks."

Jin Chu said: "There is only one place where fireworks can be set off."

Giorgio: "..."

Oh yes.

He actually forgot that there is only an open space at the back around the courtyard where fireworks can be set off, and those who want to set off fireworks will gather there.

Qiao Jianuo touched his nose, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I'm not thinking wildly..."

Jin Chu snorted softly: "Since you know that you are thinking wildly, don't waste your energy thinking about what you have and what you don't have."

Giorgio: "..."

After finishing speaking, Jin Chu didn't seem to be bothered to wait for Giorgio's answer, and went straight out the door with the fireworks in his arms. Just now, when Giorgio was in a daze, he moved so fast that he even put on his shoes.

Qiao Jianuo watched Jin Chu go downstairs, scratching his hair in frustration.

Why does he feel that Jin Chu is more and more able to see through his little thoughts?

This is not a good thing...

The open space where the fireworks are set off is only 200 meters away from the back door of the courtyard, and it takes a few minutes to walk there.

When Qiao Jianuo came to the open space with his parents, the place was already full of people, but Lian Jinhua could clearly hear his bragging to other children.

"I said a long time ago that the fireworks bought by my family must be the most beautiful. My dad spent so much money, so he wouldn't buy those cheap fireworks. Just wait and see."

"Wow——" Ge Hang flattered very cooperatively, "Lian Jinhua, your family is amazing! The fireworks of all of us combined are not as many as yours, and your fireworks tube is so big, The fireworks that are released must be very beautiful!"

Hearing this, the other children quickly agreed.

"That's right, Lian Jinhua's father is a policeman. He is the most powerful person in our courtyard. He must set off the best fireworks."

"I really envy Lian Jinhua for having a police father..."

"Only if you are here, we can see the best fireworks."

……

Giorgio passed by them and heard everyone's voices clearly. He squinted at the fireworks tube placed at Lian Jinhua's feet.

Sure enough, it was a big lump, and it was not the usual kind of fireworks that were held in the hand and released, but just lit and placed on the ground.

Although it is already [-], fireworks have been popular for a long time, but most of them are ordinary cheap fireworks with no special features. Of course, there are also expensive fireworks like the ones bought by Lian Jinhua's family, but because of the price, not many people buy them. .

It has to be said that the police officer Lian was willing to spend money, which also gave Lian Jinhua a good reputation among the children.

Soon, Qiao Jianuo withdrew his gaze, looked around the crowd for a while, and found Jin Chu who was squatting not far away.

Jin Chu came over early to occupy a small piece of land. He put the fireworks on the ground and was unwrapping the plastic wrapping on the fireworks.

Qiao Jianuo walked over, knelt down, and removed the plastic paper with Jin Chu.

Originally, Qiao Dong and Chen Yue had no interest in setting off fireworks, but they just wanted to go out with the children on the night of the New Year's Eve. Just now, they met neighbors who also accompanied the children, and a group of people immediately formed a team , ran to sit and chat on the stone bench by the side of the open space.

In the open space, Qiao Jianuo and Jin Chu removed the plastic wrapping of the fireworks in twos and twos.

Giorgio picked up a thin fireworks tube and handed it to Jin Chu: "You take it, I'll make some."

Jin Chu didn't say a word, since Qiao Jianuo asked him to hold it, he just held it obediently, without even intending to move it.

Seeing Jin Chu's stunned look like a log, Qiao Jianuo endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing: "Relax, it's just lighting a firework, not a cannon/bomb, look at you nervous."

Jin Chu still didn't move, and even raised his hand at the same height as before. He didn't even look at Qiao Jianuo, and said in a firm tone, "I'm not nervous."

Giorgio obviously didn't believe it: "You are obviously very nervous."

Jin Chu continued to deny: "No."

Giorgio insisted: "You have."

Jin Chu frowned dissatisfied: "I said no."

Giorgano smiled hippie: "I said you have."

"..."

Jin Chu kept his mouth shut, as if he was too lazy to argue with Qiao Jianuo on this meaningless topic.

Qiao Jianuo suddenly remembered something, put the lighter in his hand, and approached Jin Chu with a smile: "Have you ever set off fireworks before?"

Now Jin Chu learned to be smart, and he chose to ignore Qiao Jianuo.

However, Qiao Jianuo and Jin Chu have been together for so long, one can tell from Jin Chu's reaction that he has never touched fireworks.

So Qiao Jianuo put a hand on Jin Chu's shoulder very familiarly, and made a suggestion with a wink: "How about my brother teach you how to set off fireworks?"

I still remember that Jin Chu took him to play golf in his previous life. He had never played such a high-end game. He held a golf club and didn't even know how to swing it. Behind him, he taught him how to swing and hit the little white ball accurately.

Afterwards, Qiao Jianuo always felt that the experience was quite embarrassing, and even suspected that Jin Chu took him to play golf on purpose to embarrass him. After all, he told Jin Chu no less than three times that he could not play golf.

That incident was remembered by Qiao Jianuo for a long time, and he never thought that there would be a chance for the bullying to come back in this life.

In an instant, Qiao Jianuo's evil came from his guts, and without giving Jin Chu a chance to hesitate and refuse, he quickly took out the lighter and lit the fuse at the top of the fireworks tube.

Then, Qiao Jianuo covered Jin Chu's hand holding the fireworks tube with both hands, and pointed the fireworks tube at the night sky according to Jin Chu's current posture.

There was a "chirp".

A small flame burst out from the fireworks tube and flew straight into the dark night sky.

In the next second, the fire exploded, shattered into countless tiny light spots, and scattered towards the surroundings.

Although the fireworks were not big, a fluorescent flower suddenly bloomed in the dark night sky, attracting everyone's attention in the open space.

Fireworks sprang out of the fireworks tube one after another, and the sound of fireworks exploded in my ears.

Qiao Jianuo held the back of Jin Chu's cold hand a little harder. He turned his head and saw Jin Chu raised his chin, watching the fireworks constantly blooming in the night sky intently. His beautiful profile was dyed with a faint fluorescent light His dark eyes seemed to be lit with countless flames.

At this moment, those memories of golf, friends who teased him, and embarrassment all left him.

In front of him, only Jin Chu and fireworks were left.

It's a great Chinese New Year.
