long shot

On the way back to work, Shi Jiu kept making faces, like eggplants beaten by his mother's frost, how wilted it must be.

When I was frustrated, I still caught up with the work unit and there was always something to do. It was like urging labor. I called over and over again, annoying Shi Jiu. I lied to the director that I was in the party office, and told the secretary that I was walking around the back door. Anyway It's just searching for excuses.

This side was lying, and ended up rear-ending with the car in front.

Leaving nothing to tell, the car owner in front also came down to find trouble, rushed up to pat Shi Jiu's window in two steps and began to scold, asking if Shi Jiu was blind.

Shi Jiu thought it was a matter of insurance, and he didn't want to talk at first, but the buddy kept pushing him outside, so Shi Jiu dialed the phone and lowered the car window.

Seeing his gloomy complexion, people outside are a little bit embarrassed,

"What's wrong, do you want to fight?"

Shi Jiu pointed at his temple, "It's agreed, hit here, I'm suffering from a mental illness, give me a quick hit, and I'll be sober as fuck."

The man rolled his eyes, looked at Shi Jiu as if he was insane, muttered a few words, and went to call the insurance company.

When things are done, the unit is off work.

Shi Jiu didn't want to go home.

With nowhere to go in a car with a flattened head, he called Zhou Wen when he had nothing to do.

That bastard Zhou Wen seemed to be working overtime, the two of them were scolding on the phone, and Sun Zong's calls came in endlessly.

Shi Jiu was a little puzzled, what is this buddy doing calling him all day long, is he a bit perceptive, didn't he see that he didn't like to talk to him at all, if it wasn't because he had such a relationship with the lawyer, he would have called him earlier What should I do?

After pretending for a long time that the person you called couldn't answer for the time being, when the guy stopped calling, Shi Jiu checked the address book to see who else could harass him.

Yan Xi's call came quickly.

Shi Jiu took a deep breath, and then he slipped his thumb and didn't pick it up. Instead, the phone jumped out of his hand and hit the curb like a triple jump.

He hurried over to pick it up, but the phone crashed and went black again, breaking Shi Jiu's heart.

Shi Jiu was puzzled, remembering that the two of them had a good relationship before, and by coincidence they could touch the hole when they went to the toilet to relieve their hands, so how could it be so difficult to do anything.

The horoscope is quite a match, is it a matter of leaking the secret?

Just wondering, Jiang Yunqing's call came, and he just said hello when he picked it up, and this kid howled on the phone like a little girl.

"Stone... stone... stone... woo woo woo..."

Shi Jiu is also in a bad mood, and hearing him howling here is a bit annoying,

"Are you reciting poems? It should be Goose Goose..."

"Shi Jiu...so sad..."

"Hey, how do you know I'm sad?"

"Stop making trouble..." Jiang Yunqing was crying and annoyed, "Didn't you call me last night... Do you want to..."

Shi Jiu laughed, "Don't sing, let's talk about things first. I just dropped my mobile phone, and it might turn off automatically at some point. Tell me quickly."

Jiang Yunqing hiccupped from crying, "...you want Yan Xi to call, don't you..."

"Well, what's the matter, this buddy won't beat you up for such a trivial matter, you have to tell him that we have nothing to do with each other, calling you in the middle of the night is not in heat but because my mind is muddled..."

"No... yes... he disliked me and still kept Yan Xi's phone number... I quarreled with me all night... I didn't even sleep..."

Shi Jiu felt powerless for a while,

"The two of you are full of food and have nothing to do. You can be together well. How envious of people. You have nothing to do here and there. Hurry up and find a place to have a shot and everything will be fine. Listen to brother Ah, don't cry, find a piece of paper to blow your nose, rub some powder on you, just a dead white, then wrap your little gauze around you, put it in front of your brother Zhao Twist your ass, let’s stop once you’ve finished the matter, and when you have time later, you can tell him that the surname Yan has an owner, and brother has decided to sacrifice himself to save the vast number of misfits.”

Jiang Yunqing's head was swollen from crying, and he didn't hear clearly what Shi Jiu said later, when he heard that he was looking for a place to shoot a cannonball.

The decision was strangely reasonable, so I found a piece of paper and blew my nose,

"Oh... well... then I'm fine."

Shi Jiu hung up the phone, thinking it's better to go home, except for his mother, no one can make him worry.

-

Yan Xi started to have a headache early in the morning.

I don't know if it's because I haven't had a good rest recently, or because of too much pressure. Anyway, I feel dizzy when I wake up early in the morning, and my nose is still not ventilated.

But this person didn't take it seriously, he got up at the same time, washed up and went out, and drove to the office to take care of his outstanding cases.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Wang came over, saying that yesterday afternoon, the program planner of the city TV station came over, and wanted to invite Yan Xi to be a guest on a law program to comment on the scene of the case.

Because Yan Xi appeared once last year, and the response was good even if he was on the screen. Now that the barrister who has been cooperating with the show for a long time has something to do temporarily, he called Yan Xi to go over again.

Yan Xi sat at the desk, raised his hand and flipped through the desk calendar.

After assigning the two small cases of the Foundation Institute to Xiao Wang, he estimated the recent arrangements, then called the TV station planner, and agreed to do the show.

He indirected several phone calls, one of which was from Zheng Xing, saying that Sun Zong's money had been paid out at the supply office. What does this call mean.

This old guy is nothing more than wagging his tail to report his merits, waiting for himself to spread the word.

Yan Xi had a severe headache, so he tried his best to chat with him on the phone for a while, then hung up the phone and dialed Sun Zong's number.

It was gloomy outside, and I didn't know if it was going to rain or snow.

Taking advantage of the phone call, Yan Xi went to Xiao Wang's house with the documents of the civil case.

There was a busy tone on the phone, no one answered for a long time, the door squeaked, old Liu just came back from the outside, there was still a dead leaf on his head, he saw Yan Xi didn't want to speak at first, but he couldn't help but glanced twice He said, "Xiao Yan, you don't look very good today, this little face is pale... don't stare here if you have nothing to do, go home and rest."

Yan Xi forced a smile, and just wanted to talk to him, but his mouth was full of sour water.

The phone was connected, and Sun Zong's other end was shouting loudly, whether it was in the curb or the wholesale market, "Hello, Lawyer Yan."

Yan Xi threw the materials on Xiao Wang's desk, turned around and went to the bathroom,

"You signed the contract fast enough. It's only been a few days. Zheng Xing said that the money has already been paid out."

"Yeah, isn't there someone in the supply department who has a framework? I signed the contract in one day, and the money was prepared and spent early in the morning. I borrowed some goods from other factories. They are pretending to deliver the goods at Zhengxing, and if they fool around here, they can issue an invoice and pay the bill."

The face of the man in the mirror was pale, with a layer of red on his face, like a shy sick child.

Yan Xi's stomach began to churn,

"Stop talking, I still have something to do here, so hang up first."

Sun Zong didn't seem to hear it, but heaved a heavy sigh,

"Oh, it's just that the invoice is hard to find. I'm not familiar with Xi Zhanqiang. I said it was good, but this old guy suddenly backed out. Damn... playing with me..."

Yan Xi's eyes darkened, and he was a little speechless.

"what?"

"Ah?" Sun Zong yelled into the phone, "Lawyer Yan, please speak up, I'm so noisy, you speak quietly like a mosquito, I really can't hear you...

Yan Xi hung up the phone, held on to the pipe next to the toilet and vomited for a while, until all the acidic water in his stomach was tossed clean.

Pressing the flush button, Yan Xi glanced down at the phone.

At some point, he hung up on Sun Zong's phone and was still dialing Shi Jiu's.

Maybe it's all on the communication log.

Because I called Shi Jiu several times last night,

Also sent a text message insanely.

Shi Jiu's phone seemed to be turned off, Yan Xi put the phone in his trouser pocket and moved it to the sink to rinse his mouth.

The weather was getting colder, and even the water coming out of the faucet was cold. Yan Xi scooped up two handfuls of water and spit it out again. When he got up, the eyes of the person in the mirror were wet, and there was a layer of fine drops of water on the eyelashes. It is estimated that the tears shed when I vomited just now.

Last night when the alcohol was at its peak, Yan Xi texted Shi Jiu in a daze while lying on the bed.

Yan Xi has really found many people over the years, but he has never really liked anyone.

In fact, it is not too difficult to make yourself like it, as long as you let yourself see some sincerity.

Even a little bit.

But these men are full of fucking lies, they talk sweetly on the surface, but they cheat on each other secretly, none of them are reliable.

The only one who is reliable is one, but if you still want to play sincerity when you probably know who he is, then you are really unreliable.

After deleting all the text messages, Yan Xi lay on the bed and laughed for a long time. She was so overwhelmed by herself that she fell asleep in a daze. She even forgot to cover her quilt and left her long legs to dry out all night. , The eggs were cold when I woke up the next morning.

Yan Xi wiped her hands, lit a cigarette to clear the taste in her mouth, but after taking another puff, she felt like throwing up.

His body was cold but his face was very hot. Yan Xi thought he might have a fever, so he put out his cigarette and went back to the office to pack his things and prepare to go home.

Anyway, this firm is registered as a partnership with others, and I can count as the upper half of the boss. If I want to go or stay, I don’t need to find someone to ask for leave.

Staring in a daze, he drove the car home, Yan Xi thought about Xi Zhanqiang for a while on the road, this man was sick and his brain was rusted, Yan Xi couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Just driving to the neighborhood with so much preoccupation, Yan Xi ran into an acquaintance just as he opened the door and got off the car.

Shi Jiu's mother just came back from get off work. She was riding a bicycle when she saw a young man with a straight waist in front of her with big eyes. When she realized that it was Yan Xi, she quickly got out of the car, "Hey, did you just get off work too?"

Yan Xi was startled, turned to look at the aunt next to her, but couldn't say a word for a while.

Seeing the frightened look on this young man's face, Shi Jiu's mother could almost guess what was going on, "Ah, I'm Shi Jiu's mother, didn't I meet last night?"

Only then did Yan Xi remember, and when she saw this person pushing the bicycle she bought, she smiled at her, "Oh...Hi Auntie...Your front wheel is pressing on my foot."

Shi Jiu's mother hurriedly adjusted the front of the bicycle.

I felt that this young man had a good temper, and he refused to deliver the goods when he was crushed. He laughed at himself, and continued to talk, "Your family also lives here, or what?"

Yan Xi quickened his pace,

"No, come find a friend."

"Oh...then you are Shi Jiu's colleague or a good friend..."

Yan Xi wanted to go home quickly, so he talked nonsense,

"friend."

Seeing that she was about to get home, Shi Jiu's mother went straight to the point,

"Oh, do you know a little girl named Yan Xi? How is she..."

Yan Xi looked sideways at Shi Jiu's mother, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight,

"..."

Shi Jiu's mother hurriedly laughed,

"Ah, I'm being a bit abrupt, just asking casually, it's not that Shi Jiu likes this girl, alas, the name of this person is written in the notebook, you also know that this mother just eats salty carrots and doesn't worry about it, So what, if you don’t know it, forget it.”

Mama Shi Jiu stopped,

"I'm here, come to my house to play if I have nothing to do... Hey... Yes, I don't know your name..."

The boy on the opposite side had dark eyes and was about to speak when his face turned red when someone pulled his shirt collar from behind and pulled him away.

When Shi Jiu's mother turned around, she happened to see that Shi Jiu's nose was neither nose nor face,

"Shi Jiu, what are you doing!"

Shi Jiu gritted his teeth and spoke,

"You can call him Goudan. This is the brother I met outside. We are just playing around. Don't worry. Also, don't wait for me since I won't be home for lunch."

After finishing speaking, in front of Shi Jiu's mother, he pushed Yan Xi into his car with all his strength, closed the door with a bang, and drove out of the community after fueling up.

Yan Xi was pulled by Shi Jiu's back collar just now and almost strangled, his breath was not smooth, and his face was not very good-looking, "Stop quickly."

When Shi Jiu saw that he was angry, he became even angrier, "Stop fucking me."

"I feel like throwing up, hurry up."

"Need to vomit? I walked away with my mother just now, why didn't I see anything wrong with you? Pregnant? Do you have that ability?"

After saying that, Shi Jiu took a deep breath,

"Do you still have a damn truth in your mouth every day? How did your family educate you when you lived so old? It's okay to lie and pee. What else do you say about you except that you look like a human being? You are vicious and wicked , You said that you are a lawyer and you don’t defend the law and uphold justice. Apart from harming the society, do you have any serious business every day? Also, go out all day looking for this and that. You are not afraid of getting sick and don’t infect others. ..."

The more Shi Jiu talked, the more he felt uncomfortable. The things that had been planted in his heart for a long time rose up, and they grew like vines, which couldn't be stopped, and sprayed out like a flood.

Yan Xi was a little angry at first, then fell silent, staring at Shi Jiu without saying a word.

Shi Jiu pointed at the lawyer's nose and scolded for a while, seeing that the lawyer didn't respond, he was very discouraged.

He pulled the car over and stopped, as if he was cowardly.

It was cloudy and overcast all morning. At this time, a few raindrops fell from the sky and hit the windshield, becoming more and more dense.

It was very quiet in the carriage.

"I got rear-ended by someone today, and that person scolded me for being blind when I got down. I really think what he said is quite right."

"..."

"As far as your virtue is concerned, I like you quite a bit. There's no way, I'm born with bad eyesight."

"..."

"How about it, Lawyer Yan, let's try it?"
