10: 40am

1.

When Li Lang arrived at the Public Security Bureau, Uncle Hua was already waiting at the door. When he saw Li Lang, he didn't say hello or look at him, but grabbed his arm and led him into the police station, saying: "Good news, Bad news."

Li Lang followed him closely, walking like the wind, and asked, "My mother was rescued? Is Liu Lu dead?"

He was choking on his own saliva and coughing, Uncle Hua slowed down, and when he reached the office building, he stopped to pat Li Lang on the back.Li Lang smiled: "I'm fine, tell me, what's the good news and what's the bad news?"

Uncle Hua pointed to the front and took another step. Li Lang pulled up his legs to follow. After walking a few steps, Uncle Hua braked suddenly and stood on the corridor leading to the second floor, sighing with his chin in his mouth, and went downstairs with his arms. With a wave, he made a gesture of smoking: "Smok a cigarette before going up."

Li Lang fumbled through his upper and lower pockets, and said, "On my body..." Uncle Hua waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I know you don't smoke, let's go, you smoke some of my second-hand smoke."

The two of them went to the bicycle garage to smoke, and there were few people around, so the two of them flew away, and there were only Uncle Hua and Li Lang in the garage.Uncle Hua threw away half of the remaining cigarettes and lit another one. Li Lang said, "You should smoke less."

Uncle Hua frowned, scratched his hair, looked into the distance, took a long drag on his cigarette, flicked half of it, and took a third cigarette out of the pack.Li Lang was the first to take the lighter he had put on the seat of a bicycle to light his cigarette.

"Really, take less time and think for Xiaolu."

Uncle Hua looked sideways at Li Lang, Li Lang bit his lower lip, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled at him.He is playing with a small stone, kicking his right foot to his left foot, and his left foot to his right foot.

"I have three cigarettes here, and I won't tell you anything, are you not in a hurry?" Uncle Hua asked.

Li Lang lowered his head and had a great time playing with stones: "If my mother dies, there's nothing I can do. It's fate. If my mother is alive, everyone will be happy."

"Where's Liu Lu?"

"Ah?" Li Lang was surprised, "What does Liu Lu have to do with me? Whether he lives or dies is none of my business."

Uncle Hua took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times and handed it to Li Lang: "The second video I told you has been deleted from the Internet, and you probably didn't watch it, so watch it."

Li Lang pushes away the stones with his toes, and leans on the roof support.The video is very short. At the beginning, an apparently middle-aged woman was captured. Her mouth was sealed with tape, her face was full of tears, and she was tied to a post. Then the female kidnapper appeared and grabbed the woman. He said to the camera: "I just caught this woman back from the road. Listen, I know this woman has a son. I want her son to bring Zhu Wanquan to exchange hostages with me. I will inform you of the location." you."

In the corner of the picture, Liu Lu leaned against another pillar with her head drooping.His hands were tied behind his back, his profile was pale and thin, and he looked very weak.

Li Lang put down his phone and asked Uncle Hua: "So I want to cooperate with you now, right? What are the specific instructions?"

Uncle Hua spit out a puff of smoke, Li Lang bit his finger, lowered his head halfway, and said, "I know Zhu Wanquan is very dangerous. He is a gangster. If he does something wrong, his hands will be handcuffed, right? What if he resists?" ? The electric shock baton should be useful, right? I will use that..."

As he spoke, he touched the sand on the ground with his feet, again and again, and his footprints were dragged very long and far away.Uncle Hua clapped his hands in front of him, Li Lang shivered, looked up at him, blinked, and suddenly said: "No! Uncle Hua, didn't you tell me on the phone that the special police had already moved? They went to Where is it?? Hu Fenglan's lair..." Li Lang raised his hand and clicked on the video again. He murmured, hesitant to speak.

"The good news is that we found the place where Hu Fenglan used to hide. The original garbage disposal site on Baxian Road has been abandoned for many years. Hu Fenglan rented that place in the name of a distant relative of hers."

"The bad news is, you didn't find any hostages," Leland said.

Uncle Hua put away his phone: "Don't look at it."

Li Lang asked, "Where is Zhu Wanquan now?"

Uncle Hua shook the few cigarettes in the pack and said in a low voice, "We've already made arrangements."

"What do you mean? Did she notify you of the hostage exchange location? Where is it? How do I get there?" Li Lang stood up, gesticulating to leave, "Do I have to wear a bulletproof vest, and earphones? Don't you act like this?"

Uncle Hua pressed Li Lang's shoulder, unable to bear it and helpless, and said to him: "Find me a set of clothes you usually wear, we found a police officer who is about the same height and shape as you, and you will be with me later. I'll go upstairs and meet him."

Li Lang's mind turned quickly, and he said anxiously: "With my mother's mental state, it is impossible for her to understand your intentions! She might not even understand her current situation! She will be in trouble!"

Uncle Hua said: "I have reported this to my superiors and discussed it in a meeting. To tell you the truth, after this proposal was put forward, our colleagues in the technical department have already searched for your personal information on the Internet. Fortunately, you Without playing any social networks, I couldn't find a single photo."

Uncle Hua pretended to be relaxed and smiled at Li Lang: "Don't worry."

With a sullen face, Li Lang pushed his hand away, refusing to agree to the plan: "How can you rest assured? Who the hell came up with this bad idea? I want to see the captain in charge of this operation, take me to see He, Uncle Hua, can't do things like this, he'll definitely get screwed over! If he gets screwed over, who knows what that crazy woman will do!"

Uncle Hua stopped Li Lang: "The police passed this plan after careful consideration!"

Li Lang's face was flushed, and he said angrily, "What deliberation! This is making fun of my mother... taking the lives of... the hostages!"

While the two were shoving and debating, Uncle Hua suddenly let out a loud roar: "We can't increase the number of hostages anymore!!"

Li Lang didn't move, and let go of the hand that was holding Uncle Hua's collar. He looked at Uncle Hua, twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, wiped his face, turned his head, leaned over to support a bicycle, and said: "You guys are afraid that even I will be arrested at that time. Is that what you mean? I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of kidnappers or explosives!"

"We need to get the situation under control! It's not just that you were arrested, but if she chooses a downtown area without professional police officers present, God knows what trouble she and Zhu Wanquan will make!"

"Plain clothes... can you mix in the crowd?"

Uncle Hua turned around: "Come up with me to rest, did you not sleep well last night?"

Li Lang glanced at his back, and slowly clenched his fingers into fists, he said: "I understand what you mean, professional police officers can deal with the root of the problem before things get worse. "

Uncle Hua said: "We will never let the hostages die!"

Li Lang didn't have any comment on this, he stopped talking, and walked silently with Uncle Hua to the activity command room, where he met the young male police officer who was going to pretend to be him.The two shook hands, Li Lang took off his own clothes and gave them to him, and someone handed him a peaked cap for the police officer to put on.

"The height and body shape are very close, and I think the outline is a bit similar!" someone commented.

Li Lang sat down, Uncle Hua made him a cup of tea, he proposed to find a quiet place to take a nap, a man who looked like a captain came to talk to him, and took him to the next office to rest.Li Lang glanced over him in a hurry, he was very sleepy, all he knew was that this man had a long face, gray hair, and deep wrinkles on his face.

"We will notify you as soon as we have news." The captain said, closing the door for Li Lang.

Li Lang found four chairs and made a bed, and lay down with his clothes on.The suit on him belonged to the male police officer, and it smelled strongly of cigarettes.Li Lang covered his nose and sneezed.He stared at the ceiling, motionless, in a bad mood, and couldn't fall asleep. Then his cell phone vibrated, and he came back to his soul and answered the phone.

"Hi, hello, who are you looking for?" Li Lang curled up on the chair and asked mechanically.

"Xiao Lang! Why is your phone turned off all the time!! I'm the uncle!! The second uncle is also at my house now! Where are you? Where are you now??"

Li Lang pinched his brows and said, "Maybe it's because the signal is bad. I didn't turn off the phone. I'm in the Public Security Bureau, Uncle Hua, my mother's old classmate. Don't worry, the police will take care of it. Don't worry... ..."

He closed his eyes: "I will call you again if I have something to do."

After this phone call, another call came in. Li Lang put the phone on his shoulder, crossed his arms, and asked listlessly: "Hi, where are you?"

"Li Lang? Is it Li Lang?" There was a strange man's voice on the phone, Li Lang still closed his eyes tightly, his interest fading.

"It's me! Your high school classmate! We're in the same class of grade two and grade three! Maoming! Zhan Maoming!"

Li Lang's voice was a little higher: "Oh, an imposter!"

"That's right, that's the imposter haha! I happened to be working overtime for a class reunion, so I was so busy! Hey, where are you now? Are you free for a meal?"

Li Lang paused, and Xiang Zhan Maoming took up the conversation by himself, saying, "I'm at the Public Security Bureau. There's a pretty good skewer restaurant there. You can find it by turning right when you go out. How can you do me a favor?"

Li Lang said with a cold face and a cold voice, "I heard that you are now a reporter, right?"

The atmosphere was cold, and the noise of the signal rang, Zhan Maoming said: "Haha, I saw you entered the game just now. Could it be that you have committed something that you don't want your old classmates to know?"

Li Lang sat up and said, "Tell me, do you want to know how my mother went crazy or how long my mother has been crazy, or want to write about the dereliction of duty of doctors and nurses in Fenglinshan Hospital and let the patients run away by themselves?" ?”

Zhan Maoming asked, "Do you still remember Liu Lu?"

Li Lang held his head, scratched the back of his neck, and asked, "Who?"

"Liu Lu, you didn't recognize the hostage who was captured together with your mother, did you? His face is too hard to forget!" Zhan Maoming said a lot, "He was the only one in the grade at that time. The man of the hour? The first grade in the next grade after the monthly exam! Don’t you remember? Even if you’re not in the same class, you don’t care about the monthly exam results. You’ve always seen him in school, right? The one that the nine girls helped him fight!"

"Oh, are you saying that Liu Lu is the dumb mother?"

"Yes, oh, yes, there is another thing, don't you know? Both his mother and father died when he was in his third year of high school, and he dropped out of school later." Zhan Maoming asked about Li Lang again, "You Where's dad? Are you still doing business? He's abroad? Don't you know what happened to your mother?"

"My dad..." Li Lang smelled the choking smell of smoke on his body and coughed, "He died in an accident."

"Ah... sorry, sorry. Was it a car accident?"

Li Lang said: "I haven't spoken to Liu Lu, if you want to find out his inside story, you should ask someone else."

Zhan Maoming also enthusiastically broke the news to Li Lang: "Do you know who Liu Lu is hanging out with now? My God, you won't believe it, they seem to be a few friends who have opened a teahouse together. After a while, there are ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, men and women, everyone, he seems to be that one, that is..."

"What kind of friends he made, what kind of person he became, I'm not interested, and I don't want to know." Li Lang hung up the phone and threw the phone out.He bent over and sat on the chair for a while, then went to pick up the phone and sat on the ground looking through the phone album.

Pythons, zebras, lions, monkeys.Monkeys, lions, zebras, pythons.Python, monkey, monkey, monkey.

He looked and looked, and he zoomed in on the picture to see the hand that the monkey was holding.He can see the veins of the veins, the texture of the skin, and the camera lens has unexpectedly high pixels, everything is so clear.His fingertips were cold.

Li Lang stood up, he went to talk to Uncle Hua, he begged, "I want to see Zhu Wanquan, can you let me see him?"

At this time, someone came in to inform: "Calls from the public phone booth near Tianqiao Square, the switching point is set at the entrance of McDonald's at the South Bus Station! Li Lalang should bring his mobile phone!"

Everyone was in an uproar: "The flow of people at South Railway Station is very dense!"

"Damn, this woman has so many eyes! Didn't she say that she was pregnant for three years and was stupid for three years?"

"Team [-], Team [-] pay attention! Act now!"

Uncle Hua held Li Lang's hand: "Don't worry, Li Lang."

"I don't want to worry, I just want to see him."

After a while, Li Lang said.

2.

Hu Fenglan asked Liu Lu to park the car under the overpass. She handcuffed Liu Lu's hands to the steering wheel, and waved the remote control in front of him: "If you dare to run around, I can't blow you up! And her!"

She gestured to her side, and next to her was the mother-in-law whose hands were hoisted and locked with the roof handle.The mother-in-law was unusually quiet at this moment, not noisy, with her head resting on her arm, a swollen bump on her forehead, and a small corner of the adhesive tape on her mouth. She was covering her eyes tightly, and was unconscious.

Liu Lu looked at them from the rearview mirror and said, "Your belly is too obvious, otherwise I'd better go..."

Hu Fenglan gave him a pat on the back of the head, Liu Lu snorted, Hu Fenglan tightened his neck, and said, "Since I caught this woman, you've been talking nonsense more and more every time, so it's your turn to advise here?"

Liu Lu's cheeks were flushed from being strangled, and she struggled twice, the long wavy wig on her head was a little crooked.Hu Fenglan scolded her mother, withdrew her hands, looked in the rearview mirror, adjusted Liu Lu's wig, even got some saliva on his face, and said, "This is how you put makeup on!"

Liu Lu obviously didn't like the way she looked in the mirror, so she stuck her neck and refused to look. Hu Fenglan patted his face and got out of the car with a chuckle.She went to a public phone booth not far away to make a call, and Santana was always within her line of sight. She directly dialed 110 and said, "I'm Hu Fenglan. In half an hour, I'm going to the McDonald's at the South Passenger Bus Station." I saw Zhu Wanquan and Li Lang at the door, and asked Li Lang to take his mobile phone."

After the short notice was over, Hu Fenglan went back. People were coming and going under the overpass. Hu Fenglan walked slowly on the road with her back supported on her back. When she was about ten steps away from Santana, Hu Fenglan leaned on the lamppost and gasped.Two girls dressed as college students came to meet her. When they saw her, they walked away at first, and then turned their heads to greet her after a while. Hu Fenglan said: "I'm fine, the weather is too boring, my friend's car There it is."

Seeing that she was struggling, the two well-meaning girls helped her to the front of Santana.Hu Fenglan thanked them well and kindly for a long time, opened the car door, and got in the car.As soon as she came back, the first thing she said to Liu Lu was: "No one cares if you see it or not, and you can live your life as usual if the sky falls!"

Liu Lu didn't speak, Hu Fenglan said: "Drive, go to the South Bus Station."

There was a traffic jam on the road, and Hu Fenglan had been tinkering with the explosives and knives in the purse, and repeatedly checked several documents. It took about 40 minutes before they arrived at the South Bus Station.Hu Fenglan told Liu Lu to park the car in the long line of cars at the exit of the South Railway Station, surrounded by several banks and snack bars.She took out the binoculars in her bag.Liu Lu asked her, "How is she?"

Hu Fenglan pointed the binoculars at McDonald's diagonally, and said, "Why are you nervous, you just passed out."

While speaking, Li Mu let out two low calls from her throat. Hu Fenglan glanced at her, raised her hand and thumped her head with the butt of the gun.Liu Lu turned her head sharply, and the handcuffs pulled a pink mark on his wrist, and he tremblingly said, "She can't speak, stop beating her!"

Hu Fenglan put down the binoculars, stared straight at Liu Lu, and hit Li Mu on the head again.Liu Lu turned around, stopped talking, and clenched the steering wheel with both hands.

When Hu Fenglan turned her eyes to McDonald's again, her eyelids twitched wildly, and she almost couldn't breathe, and managed to stabilize her breathing.She handed the binoculars to Liu Lu: "At the gate of McDonald's, is that the one in blue Li Lang?"

Liu Lu said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Let you see!" Hu Fenglan drew his gun.Liu Lu raised the binoculars, Hu Fenglan leaned close to his ear, and said, "Look carefully!"

Liu Lu really looked at it seriously, and it took a long time to reply.

"It should be him."

"It should be?" Hu Fenglan retreated to the back seat, slapped the mother-in-law three times to wake up, pressed the binoculars in front of her eyes, lifted her head and forced her to look out.

"Woman, let me ask you, is the man in blue at the door of McDonald's your son? Nod or shake your head!"

The mother of rites was still dazed and didn't respond at all. Hu Fenglan tore off the tape angrily, and asked again.The mother of rites muttered innocently: "What McDonald's? Nurse Li, you hurt me, let me go, let me go..."

The mother of rites tossed and froze, opened the binoculars, grabbed and arched Hu Fenglan, and bumped her big belly with her elbow several times.Hu Fenglan was annoyed, and became ruthless, grabbed the mother-in-law's head and slammed it against the car door: "Let me ask you! Is that blue dress your son?"

"Ah, my son," the mother-in-law leaned on the car in a daze, her forehead was bleeding, she was crying, and said angrily, "I want to complain to you, where is Xiao Lang, where is my son? Tell him to come..."

Hu Fenglan picked up the binoculars: "You want to find your son, right? Tell me first if that person is him. If it is him, I will call him over now."

As soon as these words came out, the mother-in-law was extremely active, and she rubbed her face against the telescope cooperatively.Hu Fenglan took it for her, and before her eyes, within a few seconds, she asked anxiously: "How is it, is it your son?"

"Ah, McDonald's, blue clothes, Xiao Lang's clothes, it's Xiao Lang..." The woman giggled excitedly, and Hu Fenglan took out a mobile phone from her pocket. At this moment, she felt two strange gazes above her head .When she raised her head, she met the eyes of Liu Lu who was looking at her in the rearview mirror.

There are bright red fine lines engraved on the snow-white ground, like a coral grid, and the grid is covered with two plump ink droplets, thick and sticky.

Hu Fenglan suddenly felt nauseous, hiccupped, and said, "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen someone stealing a sheep and stealing a good-hearted passerby's phone??"

She went to push Li Mu again: "Do you know your son's mobile phone number?"

"I know, of course I know." The mother of Li gave a series of reports, and Hu Fenglan called, but it was an empty number. She was anxious, and slapped her face with both hands and backhands, making the mother of Li cry loudly: "Grandma, are you kidding me?! "

"138!" Liu Lu, who had been silent all this time, broke out, with a high pitch, and after screaming out three numbers, her momentum became sluggish again, and she finished the next series of numbers with a breath.

"Li Lang's cell phone number..."

Hu Fenglan looked at him, but didn't delve into it, when the first busy tone rang from the phone.

At this time, the mother of rites was holding up the binoculars and looking in the direction of McDonald's. She said with a smile: "Oh, Xiao Lang looks good in this dress. Xiao Lang, this boy looks very similar to him. But our little Lang is much more handsome than him!"

Hu Fenglan slammed the phone down and asked, "What did you say? Isn't the one in the blue dress Li Lang?"

The mother of rites was justified, and complained with her mouth pouting: "What are you talking about, of course it's not Xiao Lang! My son, will I admit my mistake?"

Hu Fenglan looked at Liu Lu, and Liu Lu said, "It's Li Lang, she can't be wrong, she is crazy, do you believe her or me?"

Hu Fenglan looked at Li's mother again, who was lying on the car window, smiling happily, and chanting Li Lang's name.Hu Fenglan pulled her over, put the tape on again, and prevented her from talking, and the mother of rites blinked her eyes in confusion.Hu Fenglan tore open the zipper of the purse and took out a short machete from inside. She uncuffed the right hand of Li's mother, pressed her right hand on the seat, and chopped it off.

Liu Lu rattled the steering wheel and handcuffs in the front seat.Hu Fenglan didn't look at him.

She failed to cut off Mother Li's right hand with the first knife, but cut the bone. Hu Fenglan growled to cheer herself up, and swung the second knife with all her strength.

With the knife in hand, the mother of rites sobbed, rolled her eyes, and passed out.Hu Fenglan put Mother Li's right hand on her lap, took out a bundle of explosives from her bag, lit it, and threw the explosives to the bank door outside the window, and then she threw Mother Li's right hand out too.

The explosion immediately caused riots, several passers-by fell down, banknotes flew in the sky, and the scene suddenly got out of control.

"Drive." Hu Fenglan wiped the blood on her face with her sleeve. The blood was still warm and easy to wipe off.

Liu Lu's shoulders tightened, and he was trembling. In the rearview mirror, Hu Fenglan could only see the top of his head and the lower half of his face.His jaw was shaking too.

"Drive," Hu Fenglan said more indifferently, "You still want me to kill her now and push her out of the car."

Liu Lu stepped on the accelerator.

?

When returning to Yujiabang, Hu Fenglan only took Liu Lu out of the car.She tied him up, this time tied to a chair, she asked Liu Lu: "Why did you lie to me that it was Li Lang?"

"I haven't seen him for many years, isn't he Li Lang?" Liu Lu looked outside, worried, "Have you stopped her bleeding? She will die from excessive blood loss. You killed a hostage... your weight ..."

Before Liu Lu could finish speaking, Hu Fenglan slapped him across the face.

"Liar." Hu Fenglan took out her phone, "Li Lang looks like this."

On the screen of the mobile phone was an online news report with the title: Revealing the Story Behind the Female Hostage.

The accompanying picture is a group photo of high school graduation, and the writer of the report deliberately enlarged Li Lang's image on the side.He was wearing a school uniform, a light blue jacket, and a blue checked tie. He had a big smile, which made him look childish because of a canine tooth.

"I'm not good at remembering people's faces." Liu Lu said, looked at Hu Fenglan, and said earnestly, "Help her stop the bleeding, didn't you find a first-aid kit before? There are useful things there, as well as pain relief Medicine, or give her two painkillers first."

Hu Fenglan was indifferent, she texted Li Lang's number: Three hours later, the train station.

Then she smashed the phone and slapped Liu Lu a second time.

The blow was so heavy that Liu Lu almost fell, and the wig fell off her head.

"You haven't seen him in ten years, why do you know the number he is using now? Can you recite it?"

Liu Lu's neck seemed to be unable to support her. His head was leaning limply on the side of his shoulder, his bangs covered his eyes, and he said weakly, "You save her, and I'll help you. I'll be yours." Partner, I will do whatever you say, if you and Zhu Wanquan want to escape, I will drive for you, I will block bullets for you, you can do whatever you want."

"The circus has an old truck that can still be driven. You go to the train station to pick up Zhu Wanquan, and my truck will pick you up. You hide with the animals. I can also pretend to be a woman like this time, and I will take you out of the city."

The third slap.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for her."

The fourth slap.

"It's all my fault that she became like this."

Fifth slap.

"You can chop off my hands, my feet, my ears, whatever you want to show the police, and you can also goug out my eyes."

The sixth slap.

"I killed her husband, and I deserved it. Ten years ago, I should have been arrested and tried. I waited for ten years, and finally I waited for you to be the judge."

The seventh slap.

Liu Lu and the chair fell to the ground.Hu Fenglan grabbed him and pushed his hair back, forcing him to look up at her.

"Why do you know Li Lang's phone number?"

Liu Lu grinned, and he smiled.His lips were bright red from makeup, his teeth were bleeding from beatings, and when he laughed, he looked like a beast that had just eaten a man.

There are two pieces of transparent glass on the ceiling, the light is misty and the dust is floating in the air.Hu Fenglan stood, and neither she nor Liu Lu spoke.Her fetus was moving violently, she was still standing, breathing with her mouth wide open, and she was reviewing the essentials of breathing exercises.

Liu Lu asked her: "Do you love Zhu Wanquan? Or is it because you love your child that you want to give it a father?"

Hu Fenglan stood up straighter, her thighs were wet, a wave of blood rolled from the narrow door in front of her, tens of millions of blood-red ghosts ambush, a female teacher was the first to bear the brunt, baring her teeth and claws, the sea of ​​blood rolled, Zhang He opened his bloody mouth and swallowed Hu Fenglan into his stomach.She had no choice but to sink, only to rise and fall, a blue child's soul floating in the air like a cloud, and Liu Lu, he was sitting there, he was still like a bamboo raft, torn apart, loose and loose, caught Firmly bound, never moored, never overturned, he is drifting, in the world, in heaven, in hell, he can go anywhere.

Hu Fenglan spat: "Love..."

She couldn't go on.

3.

Liu Lu heard a few monkey calls, sometimes it was chirping, and sometimes it was squeaking, like a mouse.He tried to turn his neck around, but because of the inconvenience of his posture, he could only turn a small angle at most, and could barely see a wooden door painted with green paint. The door was pushed open, and a triangular piece was thrown out of the door. shadows.Liu Lu shouted loudly: "Did the monkey go in by itself? It's very good, it just wants to eat."

There were many noises coming from the door, and Liu Lu tried to distinguish them one by one: the cage was closed, the zebra was pacing back and forth, someone knocked on the iron railing, the monkey was eating fruit, several drawers were opened, and a cardboard box was also opened. Pulled out from under the bed, the lion grunted, the boa constrictor broke a small branch, and a man walked out on his heels.

Liu Lu said, "It's an animal left over from the previous circus."

Hu Fenglan replied, "None of my business." She raised her knee half an inch, pushed the cardboard box in her hand, and walked up to Liu Lu step by step.

She threw the cardboard box on the ground, pointed at the mother-in-law, raised half of her eyebrows, and asked bluntly: "The old lady just fell asleep like this? Have you ever woken up?"

Liu Lu nodded, Hu Fenglan chuckled, and gave a thumbs up: "Much better than you."

Liu Lu still nodded.Hu Fenglan stopped smiling, and her face became serious again. She sat and picked among the cardboard boxes, turning over a pink wig from time to time, or a pair of high-heeled shoes covered with two pieces.Liu Lu explained from the side: "This is also something left over from the circus... used for performances."

While talking, Hu Fenglan raised her orchid fingers and drew out a backless suspender skirt at the bottom of the box. The skirt was covered with golden broken beads, which were as bright as fish scales.

"Wow." Hu Fenglan lifted her skirt up, gesticulating on her body, winking at Liu Lu, "I don't think it's a circus or a strip club?"

Liu Lu said: "This is what the trapeze wears, and you will wear leggings underneath." He gestured Hu Fenglan to look up with his chin. "In the past, the stage was in front of the curtain. Did you see that rope? It's the performance." For trapeze people."

Hu Fenglan raised her neck, rubbed her nose, and sneezed.She threw the skirt back, found a long wavy wig, put her hands around her head, held it up to Liu Lu's ear, and said, "It suits you."

Liu Lu said, "Give her something to eat."

Hu Fenglan stood up, put the wig on Liu Lu's head, looked left and right, and said, "Everyone in the circus has left, why don't you leave?"

Liu Lu said, "You can give me some water..."

Hu Fenglan punched him in the stomach, and continued to play with the wig on his head with great interest.Liu Lu coughed for a while, adjusted her breath, and said, "I have nowhere else to go."

"Graduated from college?"

"Didn't graduate from high school."

"Hey." Hu Fenglan found two hair clips, pinned Liu Lu's side hair, put the wig on his head, and adjusted the bangs and hair ends. She said contemptuously, "I heard a saying that you Just right, smart face, stupid belly."

"It's a saying in the south." Liu Lu said.

"Why don't you find a serious job?" Hu Fenglan bent down, and there were some simple makeup tools in the cardboard box, such as powder brushes, eyebrow pencils, lipsticks, and mascara.

The mascara is useless, it is completely dry, there are two lipsticks that can still draw color, and the eyebrow pencil is also very well preserved.Hu Fenglan pulled the chair closer, facing Liu Lu, and she put on makeup for Liu Lu.

Liu Lu cooperated, and she said, "Open your mouth."

He opened his mouth slightly.She asked him, "How many years have you been a clown?"

He replied: "More than eight years."

"Why are you a clown?"

"Can't find a decent job."

"Bah." Hu Fenglan scolded him, "You have hands and feet, can't wash dishes and serve dishes? Can't you go to a restaurant as a waiter? Go to a hotel to open the door for foreigners, and I can tip you more than others, and give you every minute Promoted to the front desk."

"Foreigners have learned a lot, and the tip is only one dollar, and they will take advantage of you." Liu Lu said.

Hu Fenglan was amused by him: "You won't be able to be a security guard in the future. How can a little boy kidnapped by a woman protect the safety of the factory?"

"I'm the youngest in the grade, and I can run 800 meters. I came back alive, which shows that I can be beaten very well, and I still have shit luck."

"Where is the teahouse?"

"Red Light District."

"how much is it?"

Liu Lu lowered her eyes and said, "I only help carry the wine and sweep the floor."

"Do you have a lot of savings?" Hu Fenglan rolled her eyes, looked at Liu Lu and smiled, "I live in an abandoned house, the rent is waived, I don't have many friends, and I save social expenses. I'll see your room..." She looked over there. A green door, "A spring bed, the sheets are washed and faded, only a few clothes are hanging, no computer, TV is only a dozen inches, electricity and water bills are not too much, right?"

Liu Lu really settled the score with her: "The zebra needs to drink three buckets of water a day. This one is picky eater. It doesn't eat grass. It eats vegetables and likes to eat mustard greens. The lion eats beef and feeds it five kilograms a day. Look at it. They are still so thin that their skin hangs from their bones, but pythons are better, they like to be clean, and eat rats and eggs. Monkeys don’t save money either, and they can eat three catties of peaches a day.”

Hu Fenglan laughed: "If you die, they will rebel, no, the monkey rebelled just now, and it is smart enough to run over to open the door by itself."

Liu Lu said sternly: "Do me a favor, if I die, you can put them all away."

Hu Fenglan kicked him: "I'm not dead yet, I've already made two wills, and I need to be buried with red ropes and animals to go to the funeral."

"The boa constrictor has a bad temper, the lion is dangerous, and the zebra is a protected animal. Leave it to the zoo."

"It's none of my business." Hu Fenglan threw off all her cosmetics, wiped her hands on her pants, and asked Liu Lu, "What about taking a shower? The room doesn't smell bad, there's no smell at all."

"There is a river nearby." Liu Lu said, "I can't pay the water bill anymore, and if the water pipe breaks, take it to the river to wash."

He added: "Zebras and monkeys are very good, and lions are also obedient."

Hu Fenglan spread her legs, looked at the black rope in the air, and said, "Animal trainer."

Liu Lu said: "I can't be tamed, just like you, a kidnapper."

Hu Fenglan put on a disgusted face, and Liu Lu said, "I kidnapped them to accompany me."

Hu Fenglan was even more disgusted: "If you are afraid of being lonely, make friends and fall in love."

Liu Lu looked at Li's mother, she woke up, shaking her head and trying to talk.Liu Lu said, "You let her go..."

Hu Fenglan laughed at him: "After telling my life story with me, our relationship has improved by leaps and bounds? Bargain with me?"

She got up and walked over, knocking Limu unconscious with the butt of her gun.

Liu Lu watched without saying a word, her eyelashes trembling, Hu Fenglan provoked him, and punched Li Mu in the stomach again.

Liu Lu licked her lips, stared at Hu Fenglan and Li Mu, and said in a steady voice: "Animals are very straightforward. Once you violate it, you will die or it will die. People are different. If you know too much, you will die." Can't die."

Hu Fenglan picked her ears, unchained the mother-in-law, put her on the ground, and dragged her collar outside.

Liu Lu was left alone in the room. The sunlight passed through the glass windows on the roof and reflected on the surface of a box of pressed powder. At this moment, the round cover suddenly had the characteristics of a mirror.Through this, Liu Lu saw her own image - long waves, thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips, cherry pink cheeks.
