The lure of the wolf

Xu Bei was taken aback by Lang Jiu's words. Lang Jiu is a person who can't joke. At least at this stage, he doesn't know what a joke is in theory.

Xu Bei stopped quickly, the surrounding was very quiet, and the snowflakes fell quietly.

This time he chose a very biased exit. The old houses here are so old that they are a bit horrible. They are all old houses of various families, and many of them are no longer inhabited. They are so quiet that they fall to the ground. sound.

Xu Bei listened carefully for a long time, but found nothing unusual.

"What wolf...you..."

"Taste." Lang Jiu interrupted Xu Bei for the first time, looking a little uneasy.

Xu Beigang wanted to say that you are a wolf, did you smell yourself, but before he could speak, Lang Jiu suddenly squatted down and pressed his hands on the snow, as if he was feeling something.

This action made Xu Bei's hairs stand on his head for no reason, and he always felt itchy on his back, and he regretted that he didn't bring a knife when he went out.

Xu Bei’s favorite knife before this injury was made by a friend of a paper mill. The blade of the paper cutter is more than 20 centimeters long, and the steel is made of high-speed tool steel, which is extremely sharp.

My friend said you go chop the fly, as long as you can hit it, you are guaranteed to split it in half.However, this knife is very brittle, and it will break if the force is not appropriate. It took Xu Bei a long time to get used to it, but it was a pity that he lost it when Beiling was chased by Ban Datong.

"What smell do you smell?" Xu Bei squatted down beside Lang Jiu, and touched Lang Jiu's hand. In such a cold day, he was still warm even though he stood on the snow for a long time.

When Lang Jiu withdrew his hand, the snow under his palm had already melted into a small piece. He turned his head to look at Xu Bei, with a flash of confusion in his eyes: "No more."

"You smelled another wolf, and now it's gone, right?"

"Ah."

Xu Bei stood up. He had no doubts about Lang Jiu's sense of smell, but felt that another wolf would appear in a maze-like place like Spider Lane, which was a bit outrageous.

"Get out of here, hurry up." Xu Bei kicked Lang Jiu's ass, no matter what happened, if what Lang Jiu said was true, it was better to leave here than to stand stupid, no matter the other party Humans are wolves, and moving targets are always harder to hit.

But Lang Jiu seemed to be a little bit intoxicated by the breath that appeared and disappeared immediately, and Xu Bei's tension was not transmitted to him at all.He stood up slowly, and asked, "Hurry up?"

"What nonsense." Xu Bei grabbed Lang Jiu's hand and started to run.

At the noon of the New Year's Eve, the two started running hand in hand in a dilapidated alley in the face of the snow falling all over the sky.Xu Bei ran while stumbling on the snow, thinking that this might be the most memorable New Year's Eve that he had ever lived.

After being dragged away for a while, Lang Jiu suddenly grabbed Xu Bei's arm with his backhand.Xu Bei felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then his arms tightened. Lang Jiu ran in front of him and started to speed up.

Xu Bei instantly felt that the old north wind was blowing more and more breathtaking, his face was cut like a knife, and the wind poured in along the collar that had been pulled away, and then cooled his body all the way. The pant legs blow out.

The most important thing is that he was so blocked by the wind and snowflakes that he couldn't open his mouth, and he had no chance to stop. He felt that his steps were as if he had convulsions, and he kept hitting his butt with his heels, but he still couldn't keep up with Lang. Nine speeds.

Xu Bei's heart froze, he closed his eyes and didn't care, he tore into pieces and fell down.

In fact, Lang Jiu didn't run for too long, only two or three minutes. When he stopped, Xu Bei jumped on him with great inertia, and was stopped by his arm on his stomach. This strange impact made Xu Bei's mind full There are only four words in it-but I want to die quickly.

His legs didn't seem to feel any better, and he couldn't use them anyhow. After skidding a few times in vain on the snow, he gave up and simply hung himself on Lang Jiu's body, gasping for breath.

Lang Jiu didn't even have trouble breathing, and continued to wrap his arms around Xu Bei's waist steadily. Xu Bei felt very awkward. This kid couldn't even hug people, as if he was carrying a woven bag.

"Fuck...you are flying a fucking kite..." Xu Bei finally recovered after panting for a long time, grabbed Lang Jiu's clothes and stood up straight, rubbing his sore arm.

"You said it should be fast." Lang Jiu touched his arm and squeezed it a few times indiscriminately. It seemed that he was learning from himself, and he had no rules at all, but fortunately, the strength was quite appropriate.

"That's not such a quick way." Xu Bei looked around, and it took him a long time to figure out which exit it was. "If I were about ten catties lighter, by the time you stopped, I would have been air-dried."

"Air dry." Lang Jiu repeated.

"Son, let me tell you, our bodies are definitely different, even though they look similar on the surface," Xu Bei led Lang Jiu down the street, his legs still weak, "I may not be able to bear what you can bear." , don't be so sudden next time, at least give your father a chance to call for help..."

"Ah."

There is nothing to do on the streets of New Year’s Eve, especially in a small northern town. After noon, all the shops on the street are closed except for some small stalls selling fireworks and firecrackers, and passers-by are rushing home. .

This is Wan Family Reunion, Xu Bei stretched his waist, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He hates the Chinese New Year, and the feeling of loneliness and loneliness in the deepest part of his heart is always particularly surging at this time.

Although everyone's wallets are a little bigger than usual, but for him, there is no difference. He is different from other "industry insiders" in this point. He never uses money for New Year's goods.

As for why, he couldn't tell himself.

"Take you to play, son," Xu Bei said with a sense of loneliness in his tone, "Go play video games. Your father hasn't played for a long time."

Xu Bei bought a lot of fireworks from a stall on the side of the road, put them in bags and handed them to Lang Jiu, planning to find a place to drink Laobaigan at night and set off the fireworks.

He suddenly remembered that he had lived like this every year...

I have a partner this year.

There were quite a lot of people in the game hall. As soon as Lang Jiu entered the door, he was startled by all kinds of music and human voices, and turned around and walked out.

"You bastard," Xu Bei grabbed him, "follow me honestly, and live a life of...a boring life..."

Lang Jiu frowned and covered his ears: "Noisy."

"I'll get used to it after a while, and there will be more quarrels in the future," Xu Bei dragged him to the counter, bought 300 yuan coins and held them in his hands. He knew that Lang Jiu's hearing was too good, and the sounds in the game hall were too much for him. Said it was too noisy, so he took him to a place with few people, "Let's play some stupid things first, there are few people over there."

The so-called stupid thing is to find fault.

Xu Bei used to play find fault in the video game hall all night, and since then he has felt like throwing up when he saw the word find fault, but this thing is easy to learn, and it is more suitable for Lang Jiu.

He pushed Lang Jiu onto the chair and told him how to play. Lang Jiu listened quietly, resting his chin on the machine with one hand, and tapped lightly on the screen with the other hand.

"Understood?" Xu Bei pressed start.

"Hmm." Lang Jiu didn't seem to be very interested in this thing, and lazily started to poke on the screen with his fingers.

Xu Bei wanted to tell you not to poke like hell, but soon found that Lang Jiu was not poking randomly, every time he poked correctly, he was overjoyed: "I can't tell, he is better than your father! You have to keep poking If we can maintain this speed, we can break the record."

"Break the record." Lang Jiu repeated.

Xu Bei sat down in front of the machine next to him, put in coins but didn't start playing.

After coming out of Spider Alley, he has been feeling uncomfortable, always feeling that someone is staring at them somewhere behind him, but he turned around suddenly a few times without any abnormality.

He is very confident in his intuition. Although he didn't see anyone, he believed that he was not overly nervous, but he was not sure whether this feeling had anything to do with Lang Jiu's previous mention of a wolf.

Xu Bei took out a ZIPPO from his pocket and turned it on and off. The smooth mirror of the lighter faced behind him.

After switching on and off several times seemingly boringly, a figure appeared on the mirror.There were quite a few people coming and going behind him, but they all passed by in a flash, but this black figure was always standing a few meters away from them.

Xu Bei moved his fingers, turned off the lighter, slowly put it in his pocket, and then turned his head sharply.

When he turned his head, a man turned around and strode towards the fire escape behind, leaving only a figure behind.

"Son, wait for me here," Xu Bei patted Lang Jiu's shoulder, "I'm going to buy some drinks... I haven't come back, so don't go anywhere, understand?"

"Yeah," Lang Jiu glanced at him, still pointing at the screen, "Understood."

When Xu Bei turned his head to leave, he hesitated again: "If I haven't come back for a long time... look at that clock, if the longer one has turned 5 spaces and I haven't come back, you can go home and wait for me... ..."

Lang Jiu's hand stopped for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Xu Bei who was about to go to the fire escape: "No."

"Be obedient, stay honest, and you just do what I tell you." Xu Bei patted Kai Lang Jiu's hand and chased him out.

This person is not from Ban Datong, Xu Bei can be sure, he has been with Ban Datong for so long, and he is almost mature with those under him, but he has never seen such a person.

This person gave Xu Bei a special feeling. Even though he knew that following the past might cause trouble, he couldn't help but want to find out what happened with the past.

Down the fire exit is the parking lot of the shopping mall. Xu Bei chased down two flights of stairs, pushed open the big iron gate and walked into the parking lot.The iron door groaned and slowly closed behind him, and after a "bang", the surrounding fell into a dead silence.

There were only three cars in the parking lot, and they were all parked to the side, making the entire parking lot empty and depressing.

In the middle stood a man.

Xu Bei stopped walking forward. He didn't intend to stay too far from the door. There was an iron bolt on the other side of the door. If there was any accident, he could turn back and rush in in time. If he moved fast enough, he could even lock the door.

The man watched Xu Bei come in and stood there without moving.

Xu Bei couldn't see his appearance clearly. This man was wearing a ski hat, pulled down very low, and the scarf was tightly covering half of his face. He could only tell that he was quite tall, half a head taller than himself.

"Brother, you've been following me for a long time," Xu Bei saw that the man didn't intend to speak first, so he had to take the lead in the opening remarks, "Let's talk now if you have anything to say."

The man didn't make a sound, and walked over here slowly.

Xu Beiming knew that he didn't have a knife on him, but he habitually touched his waist.

This action made the man stop, but he still didn't speak. He just stared at Xu Bei's face, making him feel like his face was about to be gouged out.

"It's okay, I'm leaving, I'm busy." He said something, and was about to turn around and leave.

Apart from Lang Jiu, this is the second person Xu Bei has seen who can move at such a speed.

A black shadow flashed past his eyes, and at the same time he saw a pair of gray-blue eyes. Before he could react, he felt his neck tighten and his arms were twisted behind him.

Xu Bei wasn't very shocked by the fact that he couldn't move in an instant, he only had one thought in his mind.

This was the wolf Lang Jiu was talking about.

"How much do you know?" The man's voice came from behind Xu Bei's ear, which made Xu Bei somewhat surprised, unreliably startled in his heart, yo, this man speaks more than Lang Jiuliu up.

"You pinch so tightly again," Xu Bei struggled to move his head, "I suffocated to death before I could answer."

"How much do you know?" The man loosened his hands and repeated what he had just said.

Xu Bei took a breath and let it out slowly: "I don't understand what you mean... I get cerebral ischemia when I'm frightened..."

This kind of answer obviously made the people behind him very dissatisfied. Xu Bei only felt that his eyes were blurred, and he was pinched against the wall by his neck. dumpling wrappers.

Now he can clearly see the person in front of him. Although he can only see the eyes and half of the bridge of the nose, his gray-blue eyes are enough for Xu Bei to recognize him at a glance the next time he sees him again. If there is a next time .

"How much do you know, that snow wolf." The man's hands were ruthless, but he kept speaking at the same speed, and persistently asked the same question.

Xu Bei's mind was spinning rapidly. He didn't know the relationship between this man and Lang Jiu. He could only judge that they might belong to the same species. Judging by Lang Jiu's reaction, he obviously didn't know that there was another wolf. ...

I can't say anything until I know more about the man in front of me.

This is Xu Bei's conclusion.

"Guess?" Xu Beichong smiled, feeling that he was courting death.
