After I slapped my wife, he wandered the streets

Pan Xun is essentially a man who can't express his emotions or anger. His irritability these days has made all his confidantes who have been with him for many years a little confused.

Hyacinth was hastily summoned back from another state, and met with a few companions who stayed behind. He learned that the consortium hadn't had any major troubles recently, and that everything was flourishing. It became more and more certain that the problem was the letter sent from Sever. superior.

It's just that he didn't get involved in this matter from the beginning to the end, and he couldn't figure out what happened for a while, but looking at the chaos at home in the past three days, it can be summed up...

Rather than saying that the Patriarch is very irritable, it is better to say that he is impetuous, as if he is worried about something.

This is bizarre, the Pan family controls the entire Qiangwei consortium, is there any embarrassment in this world for the Patriarch to be worth doing?He actually found some excuses to spread his anger on them.

"Hyacinth." On the steps, Pan Xun's attention suddenly shifted.

Under the steps, Hyacinth was silently saying "I can't see me, I can't see me", and the man at the top called his name.

"Patriarch." The activity in his heart was not revealed on the surface at all, and Hyacinth came directly below to salute and greet with a serious expression.

Pan Xun raised his chin, "I don't need to bring so many people with me on this trip."

"what do you mean?"

"Don't reveal your whereabouts to the public." Pan Xun said slowly, "Just you guys follow me."

This was also decided suddenly, Pan Xun made up his mind, and pointed at a few people at random.

Hyacinth asked cautiously: "Where's the bodyguard?"

Pan Xun shook his head expressionlessly.

Hyacinth frowned, glanced at Violet secretly, and tried to dissuade him: "You know where Sifna is..."

"Okay." Pan Xun didn't want to say more, walked down the steps, and got into the car directly.

Hyacinth quickly regained consciousness, and exchanged glances with several companions silently. In the end, there were only two cars left in the long queue, and they drove away from the Pan family mansion one after the other.

Pan Xun got into the car and closed his eyes, Hyacinth replaced the driver, Violet got into the passenger seat, and Mu Mian sat next to Pan Xun as before.

After leaving Pan's house, the car drove for more than half an hour, leaving the town and turning onto the road. Because there were fewer vehicles on the road, Hyacinth sped up the speed.

Pan Xun opened his eyes at this moment, and his eyes fell leisurely on the side of the road, "So he was taken in by those brother and sister."

Because of his sudden utterance, Hyacinth was stunned for a moment, but Violet's reaction was quick. The letter was received three days ago, but the specific news only reached him this morning, "Yes, Mr. Bai... ...." Glancing secretly, she found that the Patriarch was not dissatisfied with this title, and Violet continued: "Mr. Bai has never settled down since he arrived in Sif, and wandered on the streets for about a year. Somehow, I got to know the brother and sister, and after being taken in by them, we lived together in the shanty town until today."

"shanty town?"

"There is no house to live in either," Violet pulled out a few photos from the folder she carried with her, and handed them back sideways, "it was just a tent built by some homeless Tasanji people, and it slowly took shape. .”

"The siblings are also Tasanji?"

"Yes."

Kapok took the photo from Violet and held it in front of Pan Xun's eyes. Hyacinth was curious, but couldn't get distracted because of driving.

Pan Xun looked away from outside the car.

Compared with the two photos of Bai Qianmian, these photos of shanty towns are much clearer. You can see stretches of tents stretching into the distance, with cooking smoke rising from the gaps in the tents. Five barefoot children are holding soda cans with hemp ropes behind them as toys, chasing each other happily.

Kapok held up the photo in his hand, and would take the initiative to replace it with another one when it passed.

Pan Xun didn't give any instructions. The angle of the second photo was a little lower, and he could clearly see the crowded street between the tents, as well as the open sewer on the street.

Kapok held the photo and waited for a while, then replaced it with another one.

Compared to the indifferent look at the previous two pictures, Pan Xun moved his lips this time, "What is this?"

The third photo was taken of an old man sitting in front of a tent. The man had a white beard and ragged upper body. In order to resist the severe cold, his body was covered with rags. The stick is facing the mouth, unlike the numbness of the eyes, the expression on the face is enjoyment.

"This..." Violet has obviously done her homework, she glanced at the photo in Kapok's hand and said, "The cigarettes they make themselves, Xifu is in short supply of all kinds of materials, and squatter dwellers like them can fill their stomachs as soon as possible." Very good."

Pan Xun nodded, suddenly didn't want to read any more, "Go on."

"Yes." Violet put the photo away, "Three years ago, the younger sister of the siblings was diagnosed with illness. For this reason, Mr. Bai and his friend spent all their savings, and they have been working hard all these years To make money, but it is still a little far away, because I have to be hospitalized all the time, so..."

"What's wrong?" Pan Xun's voice was indifferent. He took out an old pocket watch from his pocket, held it in his hand and watched the movement of the hands.

Violet was interrupted, and immediately handed over the information, "This is the relevant medical record from the local hospital."

Kapok hurriedly put down the small table in the car and spread out the medical records on it.

"Is there any cure for this problem?" Pan Xun waved his hand after only a few glances, and Kapok quickly put the paper away.

"It can't be cured," Violet's voice was a little cold, and he had already consulted relevant doctors in advance, "If you stay in Seaver, even if you go to the best hospital in the state, you can only delay time. Presumably her brother is because he knows this. At that point, they took the risk and sold Wangyoushui on Chen Badao's territory."

"Wangyou water?"

"It is a kind of medicine that is popular in areas such as Sif and Rahansin," Violet said after doing enough homework, "Because these areas are in war all the year round, many injured people often do not receive timely medical treatment The main ingredient in Wangyou Water was originally a high-concentration anesthetic, which can help relieve pain after eating it. Later, some people discovered and used it, and slowly added several other drugs into it, dissolving them in a certain amount. liquid, sold in bottles the size of your thumb."

There is another photo on the small table, which is probably the so-called "Wangyoushui".

The blue liquid in the transparent bottle looked very beautiful and bewitching, but as Violet continued to tell, it gradually became terrifying.

"Because many ordinary people will buy it under the guise that drinking it can forget their troubles. This kind of worry-free water is very addictive. After drinking it once or twice, you can't do without it."

Qiangwei is the most orthodox consortium. They don't look down on them and don't know how to deal with black roads. They know very little about these smoky things.

Although Pan Xun's childhood life was not easy, he never degenerated into these things.

"The price of this kind of worry-free water is rising year by year. In order to get it, many people who are addicted to it have gone bankrupt, lost their wives and children, and are even willing to become other people's murder tools. For these people, there is nothing to do. It won’t come out,” Violet sighed a little, “Also, if you drink too much of this Wangyou water, your thinking and movements will become slower and slower, and you will eventually become a half-dead person.”

"Half-dead?" Although Hyacinth was driving, he couldn't help interjecting.

"It's just that they are paralyzed on the bed after losing the mobility of their limbs. Although they can't move, their addiction is still there. In that case, they usually only ask for two things."

"What?" Hyacinth wished he could turn his head completely to listen.

"Continue to give them Wangyou water, or kill them."

"That is to say, if you want to die, you can't die?"

"That's what it means," Violet patted the person on the shoulder, signaling him to drive properly, "But at that point, they won't live long. Even if they get the potion, they will last half a year or a year at most."

"This is not a good thing." Hyacinth shook his head.

Kapok, who has been silent all this time, also said softly: "The one who sells this thing is not a good person."

"You just mentioned Chen Badao." Pan Xun's attention was not on Wangyoushui, "Where does this person come from?"

"There are three major underground organizations in Moka City. If you can't find the military government, you have to find them. The leader of one of them is Chen Badao." Violet flipped through the documents on her lap, "This person's real name is Chen Wu. In his early forties, he was ruthless and ruthless. He was nicknamed Chen Badao because he was beaten eight times in fights in his early years. There are entertainment dance halls, etc., and the sale of Wangyoushui is not allowed."

Pan Xun thoughtfully touched the name on the cover of the pocket watch, which was artificially carved with a knife, "So the letter from Sev said that Bai Qianmian would not live for a few days?"

"Yes, Feng Jin thought he was being careful, but according to the news we got, Chen Badao had already heard some rumors. Judging from his past methods of dealing with those people, he had a similar relationship with Feng Jin. It is very difficult for Mr. Bai, who is so involved and connected, to clear up and escape."

"When will Chen Badao make a move?"

"I guess it's only been a few days. The reason why people are still holding back is probably because they want to find out if there are any people or organizations behind Feng Jin."

"Patriarch," Hyacinth, who was driving, said in a deep voice, "The situation in Moka City may be more chaotic and complicated than you imagined. It's really not safe for you to bring a few of us with you when you come out this trip. Do you want to be early and sacred?" Make contact with the army, so at least it will guarantee..."

"No need." Pan Xun didn't let his subordinate continue, tapped his right thumb on the table, and Kapok hurriedly put away the small table.

At the same time, in the city of Moka.

After lunch, heavy snow fell in the sky. Seeing that the pedestrians and vehicles on the road gradually disappeared, it was estimated that no customers would come again. The boss who stayed behind to watch the store closed the door early, so that Bai Qianmian and several masters could get off work early. Snow ran back and arrived at the shanty town. Many rough tents outside were partially collapsed by the snow, and some pots and stoves built outside the tents were completely buried.

No one would light a fire to cook in this kind of weather, Bai Qianmian thought that there was still a steamed bun bought at noon in his bosom, and he would bake it on charcoal for dinner later.

A woman wearing a headscarf took a broom to beat the snow on the tents, and more people curled up in the tents. Bai Qianmian ran all the way, and could hear dull coughing from some tents.

Every winter, because of the severe cold and illness, there are always some people who can’t make it through. These people usually die silently. When it’s dawn, they are dragged out of the tent by their families and packed in gray bags bought for three renminbi. , carried to the corpse cart.

The farewell ceremony is also very simple. Relatives take turns to put a small yellow flower on the bag, and this miserable life is over.

No one has time to cry, the car for collecting corpses has to go to many places in the morning, people in Seaver think it is very unlucky to let the corpses shine in the afternoon sun, and most of the collectors are very irritable, if you delay for a while Yes, maybe the other party will shout loudly and curse, no one wants to provoke such bad luck when relatives and friends leave, so everything is in a hurry, like throwing away a piece of garbage.

Bai Qianmian quickened his pace while thinking wildly, he ran all the way, his body was hot, but his feet and hands were cold, when he got home, he couldn't wait to open the curtain and get in.Feng Jin said that he would come back tonight, and he had to clean up earlier.

The temperature inside the tent was a bit higher than outside, so the first thing Bai Qianmian did was lift the lid of the brazier, took the tongs aside and fiddled with the charcoal ash, put the cold steamed buns in his arms on the iron net above, and got up After cleaning up the ground, it was completely dark after eating the steamed buns, but Feng Jin still didn't come back.

He felt uneasy, sat on the quilt and continued to wait, the snow stopped before that, but the wind continued to blow, because he was sleepy from waiting, Bai Qianmian got up and moved around for a while, just about to go to the brazier to warm his hands, when he was far away, The sound of the rumbling motorcycle finally came.
