lion hunting

The night after it snowed was extremely cold. After getting off work at [-]:[-] pm, Rui An went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. In order to drive away the cold, she took two cans of beer. Thinking that the next shift would be tomorrow night, drinking a little wine would not affect her.

The buildings Rui An lives in are all old buildings, and the street lights are one on and one off, he is used to it, and when he walks to the corner, the street light is always flickering and the contact is not good, and it has been a long time. Someone came to fix it, Rui An thought why not just turn it off, the flickering flickering made people feel eerie.

Stepping on the frozen snow, he slowly climbed up the stairs. Rui An habitually took out the key first, but when he climbed the steps on the third floor, he stopped suddenly.

With the help of the dim sensor light in front of the door, Rui An saw that besides the high heels of the neighbor's single woman, there was also a pair of footprints bigger than him. The footprints stretched all the way to the front of his house. At that time, he still left here with the man, but these footprints were obviously going back.

Sure enough, even though the sensor light in front of his house had long been broken, he still saw a figure squatting at the door.

Rui An walked over slowly, and when he finally confirmed that the man was the man who disappeared in the morning, he suddenly became angry. The man was still wearing the down jacket he threw to him in the morning, and even his ankles were exposed. I really don't want to Guess what he did this day, or he just waited here all day.There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but Rui An didn't open his mouth in the end. After stopping for half a minute, he bypassed the man and went directly to open the lock. Halfway through, his hands shook unnaturally because of anger, and the key fell to the ground. Rui An grabbed it suddenly, and Xue touched it When her palm felt cold, Rui An didn't care about that person, and just opened the door and entered the room without any intention of keeping the door open.

Rui An took off his coat almost agitatedly, rushed straight into the bedroom and didn't plan to come out, despite the inner struggle and turmoil, he was determined not to care about that inexplicable man anymore.

However, his indifference only lasted for an hour, just like what Old Xu said, Rui An is Rui An, and his personality can change as he says.

Finally unable to toss and turn on the bed, when he opened the door again, Rui An swore in his heart that once again he would chop off the hand that opened the door.

"This is the last time!" Rui An threw these words at the man squatting at the door.

Under the dim light, the man's unique amber eyes stared at Rui An, and after confirming that Rui An really let him in, he got up and prepared to enter the room, probably because he squatted for too long, and when he got up, he seemed A little awkward, and finally got up by leaning on the wall.

"Wait!" Rui An pushed the man's strong chest, his eyes didn't blink for a moment, "You can come in, whatever I ask, you have to answer."

"..."

"Otherwise, get out of here now, and don't let me see you again. Otherwise, you will be waiting for a police car in the next moment." Rui An's words could not be more clear, he did not believe that the man could not understand.

A trace of troublesome emotion suddenly appeared on the man's originally expressionless face, and after a long time, his tightly pursed lips opened: "Okay."

------

Rui An left in a hurry in the morning and didn't tidy up the house. Right now, no one can sleep on the messy sofa, so he simply pulled off the sofa cover and wrapped it in a sheet, which was considered a simple cleanup.

It was almost done, and Rui An didn't plan to start asking, because his stomach started to protest after he felt relieved. He put some of the vegetables he bought back into the refrigerator and started cooking.

During this period, the man didn't say a word, just sat at the dining table and looked at Rui An quietly. He didn't know if he was preparing for a question or simply watching a big man busy in the small open kitchen. Time is in charge, it will be four or ten minutes after the rice is cooked and served.

'Crack! '

Rui An opened a can of beer and put it in front of the man, and then opened a can himself. The two sat facing each other. The man paused slightly when he picked up the chopsticks and saw the beer in front of him.

Rui An raised the beer, and bumped the can of beer placed in front of the man gently, "It's a celebration of your cleverness and quickness in finding my home."

No matter how much unhappiness this ridicule would cause to the man, Rui An took a sip first, the bitter beer entered his stomach, Rui An grinned, although he was the one who proposed to drink, but this long-lost bitterness still made him unbearable, really I don't know why I used to like to drink this kind of bitter thing so much, I think it's probably because I'm young and energetic.

The man didn't drink, but started to eat indifferently. Compared with the man's elegant way of eating, Rui An can be regarded as swallowing. When he ate a bowl, there was still half of the man's bowl. rice.

The standard small square table only had two dishes. After eating, Rui An leisurely leaned back on the chair, watching the man eat rice with big mouthfuls.

"How old are you?"

Compared with the other person's name, Rui An was more interested in the man's age, because people with stubble really couldn't tell the age, especially the immature aura that occasionally appeared on that face.

"..." The man raised his gaze, but he didn't reply for a long time, and his originally cold gaze was gradually hidden.

Rui An took a sip of beer and didn't mind the man's silence, "Where do you live, why don't you go home, where did you go after you left in the morning, and why did you come back?"

The man brought the empty bowl to Rui An, obviously intending to fill another bowl, Rui An took it without any hesitation, filled a full bowl and put it in front of the man not lightly, his face became more serious: " Don't you want to go home? You have been wandering outside for at least half a month, right? Don't you know that it is the coldest time of the year? If you freeze to death outside, the most worrying thing should not be your closest relatives people!"

"..."

"Or you are an orphan, then at least tell me where you live? Or you owe some usury/loan and are homeless, and you have no choice but to do such a stupid thing like wandering!"

Rui An's tone became more and more high-pitched, and he even patted the table at the end, but the more excited he became, the calmer he seemed, and the man just looked at Rui An who lost his temper with a blank expression.

"Or, are you... a fugitive/convict?" Rui An raised his final voice, with a policeman's questioning tone, and bluntly expressed all his conjectures.

"..."

"Speak! Don't forget why I let you in."

Rui An is not a ruthless person, on the contrary, many years of experience as a policeman makes him unable to let others go, and he rarely appears in such a threatening state. Facing such a man who cherishes words like gold, his inner thirst for knowledge grows stronger. In fact, he just wanted to figure out what was going on with this man.

After a long silence, the man picked up the chopsticks and said in a low voice while picking up the vegetables, "I have lost my memory."

"..."

This time it was Rui An's turn to be confused, he frowned as if trying to judge whether he really heard what the man said.

After swallowing a mouthful of food, the man continued: "About a month ago, I woke up in the hospital. The doctor said that I suddenly passed out on the side of the road. My brain was stimulated and I lost my memory temporarily."

It took a few minutes to digest the man's words, and Rui An laughed helplessly: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Temporary amnesia, what nonsense, this is not a Korean drama!"

The man looked up at him, without any intention of explaining, but there was obvious impatience in his eyes.

It was this kind of attitude that made Rui An start to wonder if he was really suspicious. He felt that his suspicion was the reaction of a normal person. Indeed, encountering a person with amnesia in real life can be said to be a fantasy, but, "Then You wake up without family by your side?"

"No."

"Then you left the hospital by yourself?" Rui An was puzzled. Shouldn't you be very helpless at this time, and then stay in the hospital until someone you know comes to pick you up?

"Yes."

"At least there is something in the hospital that can prove your identity? Phone or ID card or something..."

"No."

"Stop lying to me!" Rui An couldn't bear it anymore, "Seeing that you are not young anymore, there is a limit to your willfulness, what's going on, please tell me clearly, otherwise you will go to the police immediately inside!"

Rui An's roar and questioning made the room instantly quiet. He stared at every subtle change in the man, but he didn't get what he wanted.

"Do you really think this is a society that you can imagine? If you say you lost your memory, you lose it. Do you have evidence? If so, you should remember the hospital where you woke up, right?"

"Department of Neurology, XX Hospital!"

Rui An's hot pursuit completely made the man explode, and the man's deep voice answered Rui An's question with the same volume.

The room fell into silence again, and the two looked at each other, neither of them showing any intention of backing down.

After a long time, Rui An nodded and looked away. He didn't want to ask any more questions. Since the man said that he lost his memory, it would be unfair to ask any more questions, but he would definitely go to confirm it himself.

Looking up at the man who was still eating, Rui An said seriously: "Let me trust you first, but tomorrow I will take you to the bureau, don't go missing any more, no matter what, I have to help you find your family first."

"I dont go."

"Why don't you go? Do you want to live here forever?"

The man swallowed his last mouthful of food, put down his chopsticks and looked at Rui An: "Before I regained my memory, I made this decision."

"Stop joking! How do you know when your memory will recover? Did the doctor say it's only temporarily? What if it takes a year or so? I haven't been free enough to raise a big man with healthy limbs for no reason."

The man leaned back on the chair, completely lacking the humility of relying on others: "Then tell me what you want."

"What?" Rui An's eyes widened. It seemed that all the joys, sorrows, and joys that were usually well hidden were revealed after meeting this man. "Do you think this is a nursing home? Can you have some common sense, please? Even if I am Patrolman, but I have no obligation to live under the same roof with you without my will, let alone this is my home!"

"If it's about money, I will find a way to solve it, and I will go to work." The man found the entry point, and first spread out his so-called sincerity.

Rui An was puzzled: "What are you stubborn about? If you have time to work, wouldn't it be better for you to find your family as soon as possible to restore your memory? I don't have anything here, why do you have to stay here? Besides, I don't want to let you live in, so why do you make things difficult for others?"

The man sat there fixedly, without avoiding his gaze, staring at Rui An with cold eyes like deep wells, he wanted to say something but didn't speak, his forbearance looked like a real victim.

After a long time, he got up and walked to the sofa, "It won't be long."

It's okay if you don't say anything, hearing these four words made Rui An feel certain, he stood up and walked to the man on the sofa, and said in a low voice, "You don't have amnesia, do you?"

The man stood up and couldn't bear it anymore: "I said it won't be too long, and I will pay you accordingly. If I don't remember, I will leave naturally. Do you think I can't remember anything if I want to? Do you think I am willing to be with you?" Does a man live in this small, gloomy house!"

"What, what?" Rui An frowned. It's been a long time since this kind of anger penetrated all limbs and bones. "I'm so sorry, the room is small and dark, so what are you doing here? Why don't you just find a big and dark room?" A comfortable and beautiful house, with your face, shouldn't be difficult! Huh?"

"...!" The man frowned his handsome eyebrows, his amber eyes were blood red, as if he wanted to engulf Rui An, who was covered in thorns all over in front of him.

"If you live under the fence, you must have the attitude of a requester. When you are young and frivolous, you must have a limit. Don't think that you can do whatever you want. Use your brain to think about it. Who would let a stranger who does not know his identity People live in the house! Are you crazy?"

Rui An, who was half a head shorter, did not lose his momentum at all. His voice was as powerful as a copper hammer. He liked to meddle in other people's affairs, but he was by no means out of line.
