Fly away the pain

Chapter 9 Chapter 9

At lunch, Xiao Zhang smirked while sucking noodles, and I asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"Captain, a single dog like you won't understand," he tried to find meat in the bowl, "Actually, as long as you're chatting with your girlfriend, it doesn't matter what the content is."

He searched for meat in his own bowl to no avail, and took a piece of beef from my bowl.I said, "Why do you eat noodles every day recently, can you get full?"

Xiao Zhang immediately frowned: "I can't help it. More than half of this month's salary will be bought for her. I can only save food."

However, after eating two bites, he forgot the unhappiness of not having money, and he could feel full just by looking at the phone and chatting.

I still drove my small car home after get off work, and saw Mu Ninja squatting in front of the door waiting for me as soon as I went upstairs.

I asked, "Did you quarrel with Qiao Yike again?"

"No," Mu Nin came in after me, "I'm just looking for something to eat, I'm already full of canned yellow peaches."

As he spoke, his eyes began to glance at the refrigerator I opened, but he was disappointed. There were only leftovers from last night in the refrigerator.

"Can you eat as long as you want?" I made him a bowl of noodles, made from old sauerkraut.

"No." Mu Ninja sat right across from me, "you can eat when you are in good condition."

I didn't intend to ask him what is when he is in a good state: "Then... Zhou Yingzhi is also like this?"

"Tsk," Mu Nin looked at me teasingly, "Don't hide your Sima Zhao heart, I don't know what you're thinking yet."

As he spoke, he threw me an unknown piece of paper and said, "Find a way to put this on him, and he will be like a normal person. It's okay to applaud for love. If there is no effect, you will be refunded."

"..." I didn't mean it that way, "Recently, has Yingzhi shown that he likes something more? For example, what do you want to eat?"

"Hmm..." He thought for a while, "No. He doesn't seem to eat at all."

I had a casual dinner in the cafeteria of the police station. Looking at him eating instant noodles, I wondered if there was something different about the noodles. It seemed unusually delicious.

If there was anything Zhou Yingzhi liked in the past, it was sleeping.If a man could not eat or drink, I doubt he could stay in bed forever.

"Oh right," Mu Nin put down his chopsticks, "he seems to be a bit insomniac recently, and he can't fall asleep for a long time at night."

Insomnia?

Mu Ren didn't know what kind of magic he had performed on me, claiming that no one could see me except him.I went back with him, and Qiao Yike really didn't seem to see me when he entered the door.I deliberately stood in front of him, but he asked where Mu Nin had gone through me.

Eishi came out of his room, completely unaware of my existence, and greeted Kikino naturally.

Qiao Yike sat on the sofa and wiped the knife, then opened the can, and continued to wipe the knife after opening. Mu Ren was watching TV next to him, complaining about the plot of the domestic Gongdou drama.

Yingzhi sat reading a book, I took a closer look, but it was a book whose name I had never heard of.

At night Mu Ren and Qiao Yike both fell asleep, and he sat there watching for a long time until late at night.I was half asleep on the table beside me, and he was still holding the book.

I took a closer look, but I found that he hadn't turned the pages at all, the book was still on that page, and the first sentence was still "...they each have their own understanding, and their expressions are slightly different. Only this small difference can make a great unity... ".

What is he thinking?

I was sitting next to Mu Ninja, he suddenly put down his book, turned off the light in the living room and went back to his room.I followed him in, and suddenly felt a strange feeling of guilty conscience.

This time he didn't do anything else, just lay on the bed and fell asleep.After a while, I confirmed that he should have fallen asleep, and sat gently on the edge of the bed.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

But the temperature was still a bit low, I felt a slight coolness, and a thought suddenly came to my mind.

I lay lightly beside Yingzhi, just like he did many years ago.Moonlight and memories flowed out of the window and from the depths of my mind like tides. Years of heartache and pain made me uncontrollable, and I stretched out my arms to hug Yingzhi who was curled up in a ball.Gently, kissed the side of his cheek.

It's okay, he probably fell asleep.

When I got up early the next day, I received a call. My mother's flustered tone made me feel that something was wrong.She said: "Tangcheng... Come back quickly, something happened to your father!"

I reacted for a while before I understood that it was Uncle Wang next door to my father who was picked up in vain, so I said, "Don't worry, what's the matter?"

"He was hit by someone, and the driver ran away. I'm paying him in the hospital. If he doesn't pay, he won't be given treatment... Where did I get the money? Your brother used all the money to buy a house..." There is a cry in the tone.

Ying Zhi who came down from upstairs asked me, "What's wrong?"

I simply hung up the phone, smiled at him and said it was all right, then went straight to the train station, not forgetting to call Xiao Zhang on the way to ask him to ask for leave.

Fortunately, it was not far away. When I arrived at the local hospital where Uncle Wang lived, a group of people were arguing next to the parking space at the entrance. The woman with the messenger bag shouted: "Why do you have to charge money here? Those next to you don't need to charge money, you think I'm stupid!"

Next to her was a man who seemed to be her husband, wearing a suit and glasses, who kept persuading him, "Just five yuan and forget it..."

When I entered, my mother was waiting for me at the door, tears came down as soon as she saw me, I quickly comforted her: "It's okay, I'll take care of it."

I went to inquire carefully and found out that the family of the perpetrator was also poor and earning money by driving a truck. Even if they asked for compensation, they would not be able to pay a penny.After the accident, he knelt down and knocked his head, but it didn't help.

Although I didn't die last time, I still sent the money to my mother, so I'm almost penniless now.I can only pay for today's treatment first, and then think of a solution for the rest.

While talking, two people came around the corner, and before they reached one of them, a woman yelled: "Is it dead or not?"

My mother went up to her and said, "What are you talking about? You're frustrated." With a bad face, it is estimated that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not very good before.

Only then did I realize that these were the two people who quarreled with the security guard at the door just now?

"This is your brother and sister-in-law. I haven't seen each other for a long time, but this time I have met." My mother introduced, and I had no choice but to say hello to them.

"I won't say more to be polite, but we don't have any money. We bought a house with all the money," said the sister-in-law. "My eldest brother works in the city and is still an official. He must be richer than us."

As soon as the words fell, several people present all turned their attention to me, and the situation seemed to be pointed at me, I said: "I am not an official, and the little money I saved before supports you to buy a house, and now it is still important , the money for the operation is not a small amount, why don't you pay for the house first?"

When she heard this, her face changed, and she immediately showed a mocking smile. She didn't seem to believe what I said, and said, "Mortgage the house? We have not lived in it before we transfer it out, even if it is [-]% new." If it becomes a second-hand house, the price has to be discounted, and this kind of hidden loss is unbearable."

"Besides, elder brother is out alone, and there is nothing to spend money on, so it's unreasonable to save so much money? Could it be that you have to spend it on women outside without telling the family? Big brother has a little money, no money for decoration? No money for furniture? No money for electrical appliances? No money for raising two old people? This time the father-in-law has an accident, and big brother wants us to sell the house so quietly. typical."

The crackling call made me speechless, as if I really earned a lot of money outside and hid it. This woman is too eloquent.The younger brother next to him stayed by without saying a word, and it seemed that he was probably not the dominant one at home.

After going back, I followed my mother back to the old house, and my younger brother went back overnight, saying that the company had something to delay.

This house has been lived in for decades, the white walls are yellow, and some places are damp and moldy. I asked my mother: "Brother... at home, did you mention that the new house has been renovated and you want to move there?"

"I have...before, I mentioned it before." My mother turned her back to me and cooked, answering in a low voice.

"When you want money?"

She stopped answering.Probably yes.

I just felt a tightness in my chest, so I opened the door and went downstairs.The corridors of this kind of old house are still not paved with bricks. Once I stepped on the dust, the lights on this floor did not turn on. I groped my way downstairs, lit a cigarette and sat down by the small flower bed.

"Annoying?"

Summer is coming, and there is a cicada's cry from the camphor tree next to me. I vaguely heard these two words, and I pretended not to hear them, and continued to smoke.

"Actually, you don't want to care about it at all, do you?"

"What about the later father, younger brother, and that unqualified sister-in-law, you don't want to care about them all, right?"

"And that mother who only treats you as a cash cow, she actually disgusts you as a homosexual, right?"

The cicadas around did not stop, but the street lights seemed to be far away, and there seemed to be no other life except the cicadas and me. The voice continued: "It's good that they don't appear again, right?"

"Why don't they die!"

"It's good that they're dead!"

"Go and kill..." This sentence stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence, and the surrounding voices suddenly entered my ears. When I looked up, I could see the lights of my house upstairs, and the noisy voices of people walking not far away were also faint. I can hear it.I seemed to suddenly enter reality from a trance, but the moment Yingzhi appeared in front of me, I began to wonder if this was the real world.

"Are you stupid?" He probably saw me staring at him blankly, and said.

"Ah... why are you here?"

"You just got hooked when I wasn't here," he said.

"Ah... that's right."

"How come you are still so easy to fall into such low-level things after all these years."

The cigarette in my hand burned to the end and burned my fingers, I quickly threw it away, and murmured "Ah", I didn't know what to say.My 35-year-old body is probably filled with a 60-year-old heart, and this old fawn can no longer beat.

"Go back, Auntie's meal is almost ready." After he finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs first.

I watched his back disappear into the shadow of the corridor, stood up and chased after him.
