end of ten days.

"I don't have to go this way," I replied, "I can go any way as long as I can follow you."

Master Rong's complexion changed, and he said annoyedly: "Ah Jin, I don't need anyone to follow me anymore, I have enough money to spend until I die of old age! You are dragging me down, do you know?!"

"I..." I was very sad by Master Rong's words.

Maybe I drank too much alcohol, after all, I have never felt so bad before.

Lord Rong doesn't need me anymore, and Jiu Zai doesn't need me anymore.

I became a fist floating in the air, without body and brain.

Where should I fall?Where should it be placed?

"I see." I nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable in my eyes and nose, "Master Rong, I won't trouble you, I'll leave at dawn tomorrow."

Back at Master Rong's house, I was lying on the sofa and couldn't sleep.

What happened?

Why has everything changed?

That silly "brain", "fist" is not there, can't he run?

Why do you want to catch yourself?

Where have all the usual ingenuity gone?

Damn, I don't think you're a "brain" at all, you're just an idiot.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt uncomfortable, and the night was getting deeper and deeper, but I couldn't calm down anymore.

As soon as I close my eyes, Jiu Zai's face will appear in front of my eyes.

The nonsense he used to talk like fart, but now I remember it very clearly.

"Ah Jin, what would you do if you didn't have my "brain"? "

"Ah Jin, you usually smile more, but now you look like a piece of wood."

"Ah Jin, follow me in "I lost"!It is more imposing to say, "I lost"!Do you not like it?How about the "Shovel Shovel"? "

"Ah Jin, remember to put on your shirt! Why did you come out like this again?"

"Ah Jin, protect me! I lost it! The "brain" is broken, and you will become stupid! "

"Ah Jin, if one day I'm gone, you can find another "brain". "

"Ah Jin, if you can't find the "brain", you should smile more, at least be a laughing ghost. "

I touched my cheek, and there was something cold dripping from it.

"I lost..."

I smiled bitterly, it is really difficult to live in this world.

Thinking of this, I turned over, took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, gently opened the door, and came to the rooftop.

"Ah Jiu, do you keep laughing because you already know that life is so hard?"

I sat on the edge of the patio with my feet hanging out.

Looking at the bright neon lights downstairs, at this moment, I feel like I am stepping on the whole city, and I have indescribable freedom in my heart.

He took a sip of wine and poured another sip of wine on the ground.

The early morning breeze chilled me, and I forgot to put on my coat again.

"Jiu Zai, let's have a good drink today."

"Hey!" There was a sudden scream from behind me, and I almost jumped off the building in fright.

I stabilized my figure and turned around, and saw an old lady sitting slumped on the ground, holding a broom in her left hand and a stack of yellow paper in her right.

She looked at me tremblingly, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

I didn't feel very good, so I turned over immediately and went to check on her situation: "Auntie, are you alright?"

"You...you..." The aunt frowned, but her expression quickly calmed down, "Young man, are you trying to scare me to death?!"

"I...? I don't quite understand, I'm just sitting here drinking, how can I scare you?"

"You!" The aunt pointed at my back angrily, "Your tattoo! Who told you to get it like this?!"

I seemed to realize something, and said, "Don't worry, auntie, I have tattoos, but I'm not a bad person."

"Who said that?" The aunt stood up and patted the dirt on her body. "You said you have a tattoo. It's not a line. I thought I saw a ghost."

Suddenly something flashed through my mind.

"Auntie... have you ever seen other people have a line of writing on their backs?"

"Isn't it..." The aunt squatted down and spread the yellow paper on the ground, "There was a young man with a tattoo on your back that looked very similar to yours, and he jumped off the building last week. If you two didn't look alike, I would I really thought I saw a ghost."

"What did you say?!"

"What? Did I come here to lie to you in the middle of the night?" The aunt carefully spread the yellow paper, and then took out a lighter from her arms, "Today is the boy's first seven days. Although I am a garbage collector, I should You still have to tell the rules.”

She lit the yellow paper, clasped her hands together, and muttered silently: "I'm just a sweeper, I don't intend to disturb you, don't offend me, don't offend me..."

The swaying fire light swayed in the early morning, setting off my eyes like a pool of stagnant water.

"Auntie, don't burn it." I turned around blankly and showed her the tattoo on my back, "Look carefully, are you sure he looks like my tattoo?"

The aunt glanced at me impatiently, and said, "It looks like, of course, it's just that the characters are different. Yours is "Tiandiben" or something, and his is "Wind and Flower", and the number of words is more than yours." . "

Hearing this sentence, my heart completely died.

"Hey, the police said that young man is not a resident of this building at all. Why did you insist on jumping off the building when he is so good? It made me..." After finishing speaking, the aunt knew she had slipped her tongue and slapped herself on the mouth three times. , "Bah, bah, bah! You said the wrong thing, don't blame me!"

I figured it out.

Jiuzai jumped off the building here seven days ago.

So Lord Rong lied to me.

I turned my head and looked towards the edge of the roof, and seemed to see Jiuzai's shadow standing there.

He was shirtless, and there was also a line of cursive writing on his back——

"The wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon are idle, but those who disturb themselves are idle."

"But why did you jump off the building?" I asked.

Jiuzai's shadow smiled wryly, and said, "Ah Jin, live with my smile on your face."

I blinked and the shadow disappeared.

I don't know if I drank too much wine tonight, or if Jiuzaitouqi really came back, at that moment I seemed to really see him.

His expression was very sad.

I know Jiu Zai, if he was hacked to death, he would not show such a sad expression.

He will only arrogantly ask me to help him avenge.

But why is he so sad?

Because he didn't want to die at all.

I followed Jiu Zai's example, showing that heartless smile, trying to think from his point of view.

"This time, lend me your brain."

In the past, with Lord Rong and Jiu Zai around, I didn't need to use my own brain at all, but now it's different.

So……

What is the purpose of Lord Tong chasing and killing Lord Rong?

It is asking for money.

Therefore, it is impossible for Master Tong to kill, otherwise he will be the biggest loser.

What's more, the matter of "chasing and killing" was entrusted to Brother Chong, and Brother Chong wanted to take me in for Lord Tong.

Because even if he found out the location of Lord Rong, he didn't send someone to kill Lord Rong directly.

So the "chasing and killing" thing doesn't exist at all.

It is nonsense that Jiu Zai was hacked to death.

I looked up at the moon and asked, "Out of moral or other considerations, you want Lord Rong to return the money to Lord Tong, right?"

It was extremely quiet in the sky.

"Master Rong not only didn't listen, but also thought you were going to turn against him, right?"

I asked the moon again, but no one answered.

"You didn't even know that Master Rong was going to kill you, so you followed him to the rooftop without any precautions, right?"

The moon looked fluffy, hidden in the early morning mist.
