steel forest

Jiang Hansheng stared at Zhou Jin, but there was no smile in her eyes.

……

back home.porch.

In the past few days, Zhou Jin has suffered from major and minor injuries. Jiang Hansheng took care of her habitually, reached out and helped her take off her coat.

Zhou Jin's hair was a little long, and it brushed the back of his hand inadvertently, a little itchy.

Jiang Hansheng twisted a strand of soft hair.

In the interrogation room, Jiang Cheng stroked her hair, and even Yan Bin, they could all be intimate with Zhou Jin so naturally...

They are special to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin saw Jiang Han playing with her hair, took it back, and asked with a smile: "Why are you playing with my hair?" She rubbed it casually twice, and then said to herself: "Is it time to cut your hair... ..."

Jiang Han was silent for a long time, without saying anything, raised his hand to hang up Zhou Jin's clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands again.

Zhou Jin poked her head out from the outside and asked him, "I want to take a bath, is there a towel in it?"

Jiang Han said, "It's on the balcony, I'll just go get it."

"Thank you."

Zhou Jin took off her close-fitting bottoming shirt with one hand, threw it in the laundry basket, and went into the bathroom.

With the sound of splashing water, Jiang Hansheng bent over and picked out the light-colored clothes one by one, and stuffed them into the washing machine on the balcony.

It was already a little dark at this time, and the sky was that kind of hazy gray-blue.

Jiang Hansheng opened the window of the balcony, and the wind howled past, carrying an unexpected chill.Jiang Hansheng leaned against the window, smoked a cigarette slowly, and waited until the smell of the smoke dissipated completely before closing the window.

Back in the living room, he extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it in the trash can, and then threw the trash bag out the door.

Not long after he sat down, he heard a "crash" in the bathroom!It was like breaking glass, followed by a "bang", accompanied by Zhou Jin's cry of pain.

Jiang Hansheng hurriedly got up, rushed into the bathroom, and saw Zhou Jin fell to the ground, pinching the fingers of his left hand, surrounded by shards of glass.

It must have knocked over the glass used for brushing teeth.

She was still barefoot.

Jiang Han calmed down and said, "Don't move."

He knelt down and asked Zhou Jin first: "Did you slip and fall? Where does it hurt? Can you still move your legs?"

Zhou Jin shook her head, she was still aware of her injury, except for the pain, everything was fine.

"I'm fine, I just fell down," she said.

Jiang Hansheng stretched out his hand, hugged Zhou Jinheng, and carefully put him on the bed.

He touched Zhou Jin's forehead, and was about to make a phone call to his forensic doctor friend, asking if he should go to the hospital in this situation.

Zhou Jin said: "My hand was cut."

Jiang Han saw her pinching the fingers of her left hand. The wound was very small, probably scratched by glass.

He got up and was going to get the medicine box, when Zhou Jin suddenly called to him: "Han Sheng."

Seeing that something was wrong with her face, Jiang Hansheng sat back on the bed, the two of them were silent for a moment, Jiang Hansheng asked her: "Zhou Jin, are you tired?"

Zhou Jin's eyes were a little dazed, and she said: "You know what? I was bullied when I was a child. On the way home from school, there was a boy who always pulled my braids to play. I was angry, so I hit him, and he was very angry. Angry, I stretched out my hand and pushed me to the ground. I fell down, my hand was broken, and my whole body hurt so badly. I felt wronged, so I burst into tears.

At that time, my brother and Jiang Cheng were picking me up from school by the side of the road, and when they saw me being bullied, they went up and punched that boy several times..."

There was a lot of commotion at that time, the school teachers and security guards came over, and it took a lot of effort to pull Zhou Chuan and Jiang Cheng away.

Jiang Cheng was so angry that he wanted to beat up the boy, but was dragged by the male teacher and beat him hard on the back two or three times, telling him to stop.

Jiang Cheng stretched out his legs and wanted to kick, and said angrily: "If you dare to bully her, I will beat you to death!"

Zhou Chuan is the most gentle person, he has been like this since he was a child, but he also lost his temper that day, Jiang Cheng beat someone, Zhou Chuan only kept Zhou Jin behind him, and did not stop him.

Because Zhou Chuan was always a senior student, if he hit a child and passed it home, he would naturally be beaten by Zhou Songyue.

Zhou Songyue whipped him with a duster, and Jiang Cheng knelt beside Zhou Chuan, wanting to be punished together.Seeing them being beaten, Zhou Jin hugged Zhou Songyue's leg and cried loudly.

She thought to herself, if she knew that Zhou Chuan and Jiang Cheng would be beaten because of this incident, then she must not cry next time.

The three children quarreled and caused Zhou Songyue a headache, and in the end they just slapped Zhou Chuan symbolically a few times.

He hugged Zhou Jin again, knowing that she was wronged, he didn't dare to say too serious words, so he just sighed: "You, you, little troublesome Jing, grow up quickly, and don't let your brothers worry about you."

……

"All along, they have been protecting me."

Zhou Jin held her bleeding finger and shed tears.

In the interrogation room, she was strangled by the prisoner until she was almost suffocated, but she didn't cry; she didn't cry when the sniper cut a wound with a knife in the Jingang operation; She almost lost consciousness, and she didn't cry...

Now holding the bleeding wound and resting her hands on her forehead, she seemed to be breaking down, crying bitterly.

Jiang Hansheng finally saw what emotions she had been hiding all along, besides worry and anxiety, there was also...deep guilt and remorse...

"Actually, on '8', my brother shouldn't be on a mission. He changed shifts to make time for me to celebrate my birthday."

Jiang Han was stunned for a moment, and soon, he reached out and hugged Zhou Jin, pressed it into the neck, and said to Zhou Jin word by word: "Zhou Jin, listen carefully, this has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Jin gritted her teeth and endured the crying, and continued: "The day I was notified to the family to identify the body, I was outside by myself, and I heard my parents crying. I didn't even have the courage to go in and take a look."

She held on to Jiang Hansheng's clothes tightly, her hands were trembling, suppressing her sobs, and said, "And Jiang Cheng...he did all this because of me. He used to be in Guhua Prison, in order to gain He Wen's trust, He was stabbed for him, and they said that Jiang Cheng had a seven or eight inch long wound on his back."

The more she said, the more she cried.

"I felt pain even when I was pierced by glass, but Jiang Cheng has suffered so much..."

96

Zhou Jin didn't know what to do, all she could do was to be calm and mature at all times.

Jiang Hansheng hugged Zhou Jin tightly, Zhou Jin was buried in his arms and kept crying, his shirt was wet with tears.

In the past five years, she thought she had found a clue time and time again, and was disappointed again and again. Zhou Jin was physically and mentally exhausted from such endless repeated torture. At this moment, the tiredness accumulated over the years seemed to well up on her brows.

Zhou Jin was so tired from crying that she fell asleep on Jiang Hansheng's shoulder.
