blockhouse
Chapter 10
In fact, during this period of time, Qi Yue's mood was a bit wrong. He used to lean against the window to enjoy the scenery, but now he leaned against the window in a daze.
Although it was only an occasional state, Gu Zhong still noticed it.
I asked before "if the blockhouse is gone", and later said "maybe I will become a cook", and now my face suddenly became gloomy like never before.
Gu Zhong didn't dare to ask him what's the matter, if it was about Qi Yue's personal matter, it would be superfluous for him to ask.
And besides himself, Xiao Zhang and the others didn't feel it, maybe he was thinking too much.Paying too much attention to Qi Yue's every move.
"That table wants two lattes." Xiao Zhang came over and knocked on the bar.
"Okay." Gu Zhong quickly withdrew his thoughts and nodded, and started making coffee.
I probably really have too narrow a circle. When I face Qi Yue every day, this person is all in my mind, just a face that no one else noticed. He walked away, and he didn't notice when the guests came in.
He made two cups of latte and served them to the young couple at that table.
"Gu Zhong." The boy looked up and called him.
"Huh?" Gu Zhong glanced at him and found that he didn't know this person.
"It's really you." The boy smiled smugly inexplicably, "Is your hand feeling better?"
Gu Zhong glanced at his fingers, stared at this person's face for a while, and remembered that he was playing with them... a student from the technical secondary school.
That's right, Qi Yue guessed right, he was playing against the technical secondary school team today, and this guy was defending him, he couldn't bring the ball over, and even hurt his finger silently.
"It's fine, it's all right." Gu Zhong said.
"Poke it next time, no, hit it again." The boy raised his eyebrows and smiled happily, "You can hit it with gloves."
What a kid, after despising him on the spot, he brought his girlfriend here and spent dozens of dollars just to laugh at him again in person.
"Okay." Gu Zhong nodded.
Qi Yue didn't know when he was standing behind the bar again, looking at him with interest, his previous gloomy face disappeared, and he seemed to be in a good mood now.
It made Gu Zhong feel that all his previous feelings were illusions.
"I thought you were going to throw a tray in his face." Qi Yue said.
"Am I that magical?" Gu Zhong asked.
"Recall it," Qi Yue smiled, "You are so young, don't you teenagers have a good memory?"
Gu Zhong put the tray away, put his hand on the bar and looked out the door.
It's pretty amazing.He is not a person who likes to provoke troubles, and his temper is not bad, but when someone provokes him again and again, he usually cannot bear it. .
He is so peaceful now, like a middle-aged man.
He glanced at Qi Yue, it must have been infected by a middle-aged man who got up early in the morning and did radio gymnastics N times.
But I don't know why, this feeling is quite good, looking at the boy over there who is a little upset because the provocation has not been responded to, he feels comfortable all over.
Suffocating in the invisible, what a perfect state.
"I'm going out in a while, so I won't be making dinner for dinner today." Qi Yue said, "You and Xiao Zhang can just lock the door and get off work by yourself."
"Okay." Xiao Zhang replied beside him.
"Oh." Gu Zhong also responded, and after Xiao Zhang walked away, he asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
I regret it after asking.
Compared with a true standard employee like Xiao Zhang, he looks particularly abnormal.
Before Qi Yue could say anything, he quickly opened the drawer of the counter and said, "Ah, did you record the milk that was delivered..."
"An appointment with an old friend for dinner." Qi Yue said, "Are you going?"
"No, no, no, I'm not going." Gu Zhong quickly shook his head, it would be fine for Qi Yue to ignore him, but such a formal answer made him extremely embarrassed.
Qi Yue didn't make a sound.
Gu Zhong lowered his head and rummaged through the purchased notebook a few times, raised his head and glanced at Qi Yue, and found that he was laughing so quietly that his eyes disappeared.
"I'll just ask casually." Gu Zhong said, "What's so funny, I'm almost laughing out of parentheses."
"I'm leaving." Qi Yue smiled and patted him on the back, "See you tomorrow."
Qi Yue is seldom not in the store. 24 hours a day, except for sleeping, lunch, and dinner, he goes to the back kitchen to cook a few meals. He spends almost all other time sitting or standing in the corner by the window on the first floor.
Those two glass doors facing the street are like a space-time door, connecting two worlds, the outside is everyone's world, and the inside is Qiyue's world.
Gu Zhong and Qi Yue have crossed the gate of time and space together a few times, and there is no special feeling, but this is the first time that he is lost in thought at the bar and Qi Yue is in a daze in the corner today.
Gu Zhong suddenly felt uncomfortable.
It was the fourth time when he habitually looked over at Jiao Luo's side, that he realized how often he looked at each other during working hours every day.
There were no guests at dinner time, because there was nothing to fill my stomach except coffee and fruit tea today, three groups of guests came in and all left.
"Hey, there are not many bosses like our boss who don't care about business." Xiao Zhang sat at a table, throwing a rag in his hand.
"The boss is so indifferent to the business, there are not many shops that have not closed down." Gu Zhong said.
"What do you eat? I order takeaway." Xiao Zhang said.
"I don't know. I don't have much appetite. Just order me a portion of whatever you eat." Gu Zhong also took a rag and wiped it back and forth on the bar counter.
"I have no appetite in such a cold day. I can eat seven or eight meals a day when it's cold." Xiao Zhang took out his mobile phone.
"It's snowing again." Gu Zhong looked outside, and after the sky became overcast, snowflakes began to float.
"Then there are no guests." Xiao Zhang sighed, "Let's go early today."
"It's okay, you can leave after eating," Gu Zhong sat next to him, "We are single, we have a lot of time to do everything."
Xiao Zhang laughed and said, "Is the quality of the girls in your school not good enough?"
"We are a technical secondary school, and the girls are all underage." Gu Zhong said.
"Hey!" Xiao Zhang yelled, "I didn't realize you held grudges so much!"
Gu Zhong spat twice and remained silent.
"Aren't you asking too much?" Xiao Zhang glanced up and down at him, "After all..."
"Huh?" Gu Zhong looked at him.
"He's a pretty handsome guy." Xiao Zhang said, "He's quite demanding."
Gu Zhong stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you."
After Xiao Zhang was stunned, he reached out to shake his hand helplessly: "Don't learn from Brother Qi to talk about it."
"Is he chattering?" Gu Zhong smiled.
"He used to be a gangster, you know?" Xiao Zhang said, "It's not the kind of little gangster who has a reputation.
"Ah." Gu Zhong didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know whether to use the expression of "I may know more than you" or the expression of "Ah! The boss is actually a former gangster".
However, it is still a very special feeling to hear other people leave the rivers and lakes rumors and talk about Qi Yue for the first time.
"Later, they corrected their evil ways and returned to the right." Xiao Zhang said, "Those who are deeply involved, except for those who went in and died and were disabled, they are all talking about it."
Xiao Zhang's summary is simple and rude, without technical content at all.
"Really..." Gu Zhong said.
"I'm not educated, so I don't understand." Xiao Zhang thought for a while, "Anyway, it's quite special."
"En." Gu Zhong immediately nodded in agreement with this point.
That's right, Qi Yue is always indifferent, he doesn't care about anything and every look has the temperament of a story, it is indeed very special.
Especially when he is not in the store, I will be empty.
The characteristic of Xiao Zhang’s chatting is that he gets off topic very quickly. To say it better, his thinking is jumping. Gu Zhong is still thinking about Qi Yue. He has already completed the jump of "from Qi Yue to his childhood and then to his ex-colleagues".
After the takeaway was delivered, when Gu Zhong buried himself in eating, he completed the jump from "the status quo of the catering industry, to traveling around the world, and to having boys and girls who are the same or daughters who are cuter".
"Brother Qi will probably be single for the rest of his life." Xiao Zhang drank the last sip of soup.
Gu Zhong admired him for being able to turn the topic around and return to the starting point.
"Has he never been married?" Gu Zhong asked.
"No, I haven't been here for as long as you." Xiao Zhang said, "But I heard from my friends that I don't have any. I haven't even had a girlfriend. I've always been alone. Some people used to call him a lonely ghost... ..."
Gu Zhongzheng took a cup and wanted to drink water. He couldn't hold back the urge to laugh when he heard this name, so he quickly turned the switch and spit water at the chair next to him, then coughed for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhang said.
"Such a nickname of Secondary School." Gu Zhong said happily, "If you can't hear clearly, you think it's a gambler."
"He didn't start it himself, how many of those little bastards are not second-rate." Xiao Zhang also laughed, "Sigh, anyway, I think Brother Qi's job is worth it, even if it's not worth it. not worth."
"En." Gu Zhong took another sip of water.
Xiao Zhang has no culture, but the summary he made suddenly is much deeper than the simple and rude one he made before.
Xiao Zhang left after eating, anxious to pick up his girlfriend from get off work, and said he wanted to surprise her.
Gu Zhong cleaned up the shop, and then sat in the corner where Qi Yue usually sat. He wanted to see what was special from here.
He watched the night fall from the evening until after nine o'clock before he came to a conclusion: nothing special.
He got up and opened the window a crack, took out a cigarette and drank it.
When the cigarette was lit, the fire flickered, and in the light of the fire, he saw a person standing under the tree outside.
Now the snow is falling a bit heavily, and it is hard to see who it is, the street lights next to it are on, but just above the side of the tree, the shadows cast by the leafless branches are all over the place, shattering the already blurry figure , have no shape.
He usually doesn't pay attention to people standing outside this kind of shop. Qi Yue dares not to keep anyone in the shop or lock the door, because all the gangsters in this area know that he is a former big gangster with a hidden spirit. For beginners in deep and shallow, generally no one will come in.
And despite the fact that the blockhouse doesn't make money, the owner of the blockhouse is not afraid of losing money at all.
Nagging.very special.
But now seeing the figure under the tree, Gu Zhong stood up vigilantly.
With such a heavy snowfall, there are not many people on the road, and occasionally they walk all the way when passing by. It is not normal to stand in the snow and look into the store.
Walk slowly behind the bar and take a steel pipe.This thing was released by Xiao Zhang, and if he said that the store was smashed again, he would resist.Qi Yue ignored his heroic behavior.
Gu Zhong held the steel pipe close to his legs, and slowly strolled back to the corner and sat down.After smoking a cigarette, the figure was still there and hadn't moved much.
Gu Zhong leaned back on the chair and did not move.For some reason, this person reminded him of the sick man at noon, and Qi Yue's suddenly gloomy face when he heard about the sick man.
He searched the rumors in the rivers and lakes in his memory and the fragments of the past that Qi Yue mentioned very occasionally, but there was nothing about the sick child.
What the hell is going on with this man?
After hesitating for a while, he sent Qi Yue a message.
"There is no one in the store, can I leave early?"
He didn't want to waste time with that person so openly and secretly, it was the most appropriate way to close the door and leave, and it was not easy to cause Qi Yue any trouble.
It took a long time for Qi Yue's news to come back.
"You can leave when Xiao Zhang leaves. You still stay so late and there is no overtime pay."
"Where are you? How do you know Xiao Zhang is gone?!"
Gu Zhong was a little surprised.
"I took the brain out and put it in the freezer."
"What the hell?"
"You can know that he left early with an empty head."
"I'll go!" Gu Zhong looked at the news from Qi Yue, he was stunned for a long time before he was happy, and smiled at the two people, "it's snowing so hard, take a taxi, and I'll reimburse you, if you can't get a taxi, just sleep in the shop .”
Gu Zhong smiled, put the phone back in his pocket, and when he looked outside again, the figure was no longer under the tree, and the snow was falling even harder, probably he couldn't bear it.
In fact, his family doesn’t care much about whether he goes home or not. Usually, his mother would only ask if he didn’t come home on weekends. Before, he often went home because he was not used to living in the dormitory.
or not today
When he thought that if he didn't go home, he would not be staying in the dormitory, but in the store... To be exact, he would be staying in Qiyue's den with a very strong personal feeling, and he felt a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a while, he still decided to go back to the dormitory. It is estimated that he would not be able to take a taxi in this weather. The time to go back to the dormitory is suitable. The door is not closed yet. There will be no classes tomorrow morning, so you can come directly to the store.
Gu Zhong got up, walked around the store, checked various power plugs, and then went downstairs to turn off the lights.
When he went out, the north wind with snowflakes was blowing head-on, and he shivered.
It's so cold.After locking the door, he tightened his scarf, bowed his head and walked quickly towards the school.
After walking a few steps, I looked behind me again, wondering if I was a little nervous, I always felt that someone was watching me from behind.But when he turned around, he saw only two passers-by walking in a hurry, and he was still in the opposite direction, and only saw a figure from the back.
Speaking of which, it's not considered neurotic. Although he didn't ask, and Qi Yue probably wouldn't say it if he asked, but that sickness can change the face of Qi Yue, who is always fooling around, and the two of them must know each other.
Maybe it's still the former enemy.
But when it comes to the Chou family... Gu Zhong turned his head again and still felt that there was someone behind him. He even felt that he heard footsteps, but he still didn't see anyone.
The trees and roof troughs on the roadside have shadows of various sizes and shades, and it is really difficult for someone to stand inside them.
He fumbled in his pocket, but it was empty, and he didn't find anything to defend himself.
It's not like Qi Yue's enemies have never been here before, and Qi Yue didn't have such a reaction to those "ordinary old kids" who came to smash the store before.
It can only be said that if this person is an enemy, it may not be as simple as smashing a shop.
After walking more than ten meters, Gu Zhong clearly heard the sound of stepping on an orange branch on the ground from the rear left.
When I turned my head to look, I still didn't see anyone, just like a ghost movie.
But this time he can be sure that there is someone in the shadows who has been following him, maybe it is that rot.
Gu Zhong stopped in his tracks.The distance from here to the school is much longer than the distance from here back to the gun tower.
In order to avoid uncertainties, after hesitating for a few seconds, he turned around abruptly and started running towards the gun tower.
This running speed, let alone a sick person, even a normal young man may not be able to catch up.He ran to the gate of the gun tower in one breath before stopping.There was silence behind, which was fine.
He took out the key, walked around to the back door and went in.The store is very warm, which makes people relax all over the body.
He poured a cup of hot water and looked out through the gap in the blinds while drinking. Only one passerby passed by for a long time.
Theoretically, if someone really wanted to follow him, it would be impossible to follow him now. After drinking water, he took a shower, took the steel pipe from under the bar, and slowly went up to the third floor.
The lights in the shop were turned off, and he sat on the third floor, staring at the little light cast by the street lamps, and was stunned for a long time.
The phone rang, and a message came in, and he quickly took out the phone.
The message was sent by a classmate in the dormitory, asking him to play games together.He sighed lightly, a little disappointed.But I still clicked on the game, and I can't fall asleep right now, and Qi Yue's movies here are all old movies, so I can only play games to pass the time.
He usually played games with several people in the dormitory very harmoniously, but today it was not going well, and he quit after playing for a while.
Putting down his phone, walked to the window and stared out for a long time, finally he felt uneasy, so he still called Qi Yue.
"Go home or go back to the dormitory?" Qi Yue answered the phone.
It was quite quiet over there, Qi Yue didn't seem to go to the bar or KTV as Gu Zhong imagined.
"No." Gu Zhong said, "I'm still in the store."
"What's the matter." Qi Yue laughed, "Can't bear to leave? Do you want to wait for me to go back?"
"I've already left." Gu Zhong frowned, not in the mood to follow Qi Yueyue back, "Halfway... I shouldn't be delusional, I think someone is following me."
"Did you see anyone?" The smile in Qi Yue's voice disappeared instantly.
"I didn't see the person following me." Gu Zhong said, "But someone stood outside for a long time today. I'm not sure if it's the cripple, I can't see clearly."
"Understood." Qi Yue said, "Just stay in the store and don't go out. I'll go back right away."
"No no no no no." Gu Zhong said quickly, "I didn't tell you to come back because I was scared, I just felt that if I wasn't too sensitive, it would be... for you, I told you to be careful when you come back Son, if you don’t care about smashing the store, just smash it, in case you run into trouble.”
"Well, I know." Qi Yue said, "I'll go back right away, you wait for me on the third floor, and don't come out if there is any movement below."
"Oh..." Gu Zhong didn't say any more, he was a little moved.
I don't know if Qi Yue was moved.
"Leave now?" Chen Gui looked at him, "It's not even 11 o'clock yet."
"The fourth child may have gone to the store." Qi Yue said while putting on his coat, "Are those chicken wings baked yet? Help me find a box and put it in a box. I'll take it home and eat it."
"Didn't you always want to avoid the fourth child?" Chen Gui found a lunch box, a little confused, "Aren't you going to meet him now when you go back? How are you going to deal with this? I said find some people to clean up You refused to let him give you a meal, and now..."
"Now I don't think the fourth child is coming for me," Qi Yue said, "The kid in my store has met him twice."
"What is he going to do?" Chen Gui was stunned, "I think you two are getting close, so...the cat is also close to you."
"Are you drunk and stupid?" Qi Yue took the lunch box and covered it, "Maomao is Da Qi's own daughter, could he move? He thinks Gu Zhong is mine."
Chen Gui sighed and said, "Brother Qi."
"En." Qi Yue responded.
"How do we finish this matter? It's been so many years, these people are dying, retreating, running, why is he so persistent," Ghost Chen lit a cigarette and took two puffs. Standing up, "I'll go with you."
"No need." Qi Yue glanced at the room next to him, where Chen Gui's wife and his son were sleeping, "These things have nothing to do with you for a long time, the relationship between you and me is just that we knew each other before, nothing else of."
Before Chen Gui could speak again, he turned around and opened the door with the lunch box in his hand, and left.
The snow outside has stopped, and there is a layer of snow on the ground, and there is a "chacha" sound when you step on it.
Qi Yue's car was parked downstairs. Before getting in the car, he hesitated for two seconds, looked around the car, and then opened the door and got in the car.
After starting the car, his fingers flicked twice on the steering wheel.
It's been a long time since I felt this way.
It stands to reason that the relationship between Gu Zhong and him is far less deep than that between him and Da Qi, they are just a boy who works in his shop.
But just such a person whose relationship with him can be summed up in one sentence made him feel unspeakable uneasiness and panic again.
Ever since he was expelled from the school in high school, he basically never felt this way again. The only time it happened was the night when Da Qi had an accident.
There was no particular reason for Chen Gui to ask him to meet, but to have some barbecue on the balcony of Chen Gui's house to catch up.
They would meet and chat every few months, which made him feel a lot easier every time.
Maybe it's because this is almost the only opportunity in his life to really have contact with the outside world, maybe it's because of Chen Gui's peaceful and warm family atmosphere.
But Gu Zhong's phone call made his night of relaxation disappear without a trace.
The oppression from the past that he couldn't get rid of over the years overwhelmed him again, but his supposed numb state was changed because of Gu Zhong.
Some things that he had been too lazy to face suddenly became necessary to solve immediately.
For someone who has lived so many years as a recluse, this is a clear anxiety.
It took about four to ten minutes to drive from Chen Gui's house to the Paolou. On the way, he wanted to call Gu Zhong several times, but he didn't.
The fourth child is not strong in fighting ability, and he is still a sick person, which is why he has been only haunting people to bring words to him, and has never had any direct contact.
With his obviously abnormal behavior this time, Qi Yue only thought that he wanted to fulfill his wish that he had tormented for so many years, but he didn't expect him to use such a method.
It was not a coincidence that Gu Zhong met the fourth child twice, even if the first time was a coincidence, the second time was not.
Not by accident, as long as there is one time, it can be determined.
The fourth child has been staring at him, he is not in the shop, the fourth child will not be unaware, and if he still goes in this situation, it is obviously aimed at Gu Zhong.
Moreover, this kind of behavior that was so obvious that even Gu Zhong could be suspicious, in Qi Yue's view, was a blatant provocation.
Rather than being surprised that the fourth child would have such guts, he actually cared more about why it was Gu Zhong?
After 10 minutes, Qiyue arrived in less than half an hour. When I got off the bus, the surrounding area was very quiet, and there were no passers-by. Except for the sound of the north wind blowing, there was no other sound.
Only the lights on the third floor were on in the store, Qi Yue opened the back door, and the first thing he did was to turn on the lights.
While touching the switch, he saw a person on the stairs.
"Qi Yue?" the man asked
"Yeah." Qi Yue heaved a sigh of relief and pressed the light switch.
Gu Zhong stood in the middle of the stairs holding a steel pipe.
"It's so fierce." Qi Yue said, "Didn't I tell you not to come down?"
"I heard the sound of the car door. I guess it was you." Gu Zhong said, "I hid and came down to have a look. I didn't come down to fight."
Qi Yue smiled and raised the lunch box in his hand: "I brought you supper."
"What is it?" Gu Zhong jumped down the stairs, the remaining nervousness on his face was quickly wiped away by the word midnight snack.
"Grilled wings." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong took the lunch box, opened it to have a look, lowered his head and said nothing.
"It's not the leftovers." Qi Yue added, "I just baked it before I left.
"That's not what I mean," Gu Zhong smiled, "I just...suddenly felt a little...unexplainable, did you come back from the middle of the game?"
"What are you playing?" Qi Yue closed the back door, went into the bathroom and began to brush his teeth.
"Didn't you go to play with your friends?" Gu Zhong held the lunch box in his hands, "Generally, the gatherings of middle-aged and elderly gangsters like you will not break up until midnight."
"That's a juvenile gangster." Qi Yue glanced at him, brushed his teeth and said vaguely, "We middle-aged and elderly people don't have the energy, and we fall asleep at 12 o'clock."
"You didn't see anyone when you came in, did you?" Gu Zhong leaned against the door and asked.
"No." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong didn't ask any more questions, whether it was because he overreacted or it was true, in short Qi Yue came back, standing in front of him, he felt at ease.
Even if ten or eight rushed in at this moment... that would still be scary.
Thinking of this scene, he was a little confused, he had promised Qi Yue, but if someone really rushed in, if Qi Yue told him to get out, Gu Zhong looked at the chicken wings in his hand and thought, really get out?
"Do you want to see it?" Qi Yue spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, washed his face, leaned on the sink and turned his head to look at him.
"En." Gu Zhong was a little distracted, and responded casually.
"Okay." Qi Yue nodded, stretched out his hand to unzip his trousers, "Young people nowadays are really..."
"What are you doing?" Gu Zhong was taken aback.
"Pee." Qi Yue looked at him, "I asked you, didn't you say you want to see it?"
"Damn it!" Gu Zhong was speechless, "I won't watch it."
Qi Yue didn't move, but still looked at him.
"Oh!" Gu Zhong came back to his senses, closed the door, turned and walked upstairs, "I'm going, I'm going!"
Qi Yue's happy laughter came from inside.
Gu Zhong sighed.never mind.
It's because Qi Yue rushed back as soon as he answered the phone; it's because he brought himself grilled wings; it's because he picked up a grilled wing and took a bite, and the grilled wings were quite delicious.
He made himself a cup of hot lemon tea and took it up to the third floor.
Except for hurrying back, Qi Yue didn't look unusual.
Gu Zhong felt that this person's emotions were buried very deeply in most cases, and only when he was unprepared would he see obvious changes.
There was still anxiety on the phone, but when I got back, everything was back to normal.
After eating two grilled wings, Qi Yue went upstairs and glanced at the steel pipe he put on the table: "Is it delicious?"
"En." Gu Zhong nodded, "It's delicious, how many more can you eat together?"
"I've already brushed my teeth." Qi Yue took a bottle of mineral water, "Let me see you have a drink."
"What kind of strange hobby is this?" Gu Zhong said.
"I don't know." Qi Yue smiled.
"I can't watch others eat." Gu Zhong said while eating, "I'll be hungry."
Qi Yue didn't speak, the phone vibrated in his pocket, he lowered his head and took it out to take a look, it was a WeChat friend request.
It was sent by a stranger, the name was a bunch of inexplicable letters, and the verification message did not say who he was, only "Qi Yue".
He raised his eyebrows, amazing.But I still clicked through, maybe it’s a friend I haven’t contacted for a long time, maybe it’s...
Before he could click on this person's photo album to take a look, this person sent him a bunch of photos one after another.
"Yo." Gu Zhong took a sip of lemon tea on the opposite side, "This news is better than us young people can talk about."
Qi Yue didn't speak, just stared at the phone.
There were photos of one person and photos of two people. He didn't need to click to open them. Just by looking at the thumbnails, he could tell that the single person was Gu Zhong, and the two people were him and Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong was riding a bicycle, Gu Zhong was sitting in the corner of the store, Gu Zhong was walking alone on the street, and he was eating and talking with Gu Zhong in the store.
This is from the fourth child.
Qi Yue only felt that his fingers were achingly cold.After clicking on the photo and looking at it, he knew why the fourth child chose Gu Zhong to threaten him.
He never knew that when he was with Gu Zhong, he was in such a state——
Smiling happily, the whole person is relaxed.
He even felt a little surprised by himself.
The fourth child is indeed the person who has been with him for several years and knows him very well.
"Go to sleep." Qi Yue put the phone back in his pocket and stretched, "I'm sleepy."
"Qi Yue." Gu Zhong looked at him.
"Huh?" Qi Yue responded, and every time Gu Zhong called his name, he felt that Gu Zhong's serious face was very interesting.
"I don't know what to say, I shouldn't have said anything." Gu Zhong hesitated as he ate the last roasted wing, "After all, I'm a part-time worker..."
"Not only." Qi Yue corrected him, "No migrant worker can sleep in my room yet, and I have traveled all the way to bring Ye Qing."
Gu Zhong smiled and said: "I just want to say, if there is anything, you don't have to hide it from me, let me, even if I can't help you, it's better to say it than to tell me."
"Yeah." Qi Yue nodded.
"You know that sick man, right?" Gu Zhong asked.
"I know you." Qi Yue lit a cigarette, "We've known each other for many years."
"Is it... the enemy?" Gu Zhong asked again carefully.
"I don't know how to sum it up." Qi Yue thought for a while, "He has been with the legendary boss much earlier than me, and his legs are also for the boss's illness."
"Ah?" Gu Zhong was stunned, "Then he is on your side?"
"The one on the boss' side." Qi Yue smiled, "It's not on the same side as me."
Gu Zhong didn't speak, and looked at him with a confused face, as if he was sorting out the logical relationship here, took a sip of tea after a long time and said: "I understand, are you a third party?"
"That's what you said." Qi Yue snorted with a smile.
"Then what is he going to do now?" Gu Zhong continued to ask.
Qi Yue didn't speak, he smoked a cigarette and looked out the window.
"I'll clean it up." Gu Zhong didn't ask any more questions, got up and took the lunch box and cups on the table and went downstairs.
Yes, what does the fourth child want to do?
He probably knew what the fourth child was going to do in the past. He kept torturing him with Da Qi's affairs, telling him to get out, and disappear from the place where he had been fooling around for 30 years.
But what the fourth child is going to do now, he is a little uncertain.
In other words, because of the current state of the fourth child, he even began to suspect that his previous judgment of "what to do" with the fourth child was wrong.
He may have never figured out what the fourth brother was up to.
The lights downstairs were not turned on, and the curtains were closed again. Qi Yue heard Gu Zhong not knowing whether he hit the cabinet or kicked or hit the table.
"Hey!"
A second later, there was the sound of the lunch box falling to the ground, clanging.
"Hey!" Gu Zhong cursed again.
Qi Yue leaned back on the chair and raised his head, smiling at the ceiling for a while.
If my current appearance was photographed by the fourth child, I would probably have an expression that I had never seen before.
He was suddenly very reluctant.Although he couldn't figure out what the fourth child was going to do, he knew what to do in the current situation was the safest.
Convince the fourth brother, close the blockhouse, leave, and leave this place he refuses to leave anyway.
There is probably no better way than this.
"It's time for you to buy toothpaste, boss." Gu Zhong jumped up the stairs, carrying the mint fragrance of toothpaste on his body.
"Is it gone?" Qi Yue asked.
"It's gone." Gu Zhong said, "Also, don't you use facial cleanser?"
Qi Yue couldn't help but laughed again and said, "We middle-aged people all use soap."
"What's wrong with you? In this weather, your face is not cracked?" Gu Zhong moved closer to him, "Your skin doesn't look like you've used soap for a long time, it's pretty good."
"My skin is so good that you squeeze me into middle-aged and old people every day." Qi Yue looked at him.
The bridge of Gu Zhong's nose is straight, with a bit of stubbornness, and his eyes look extraordinarily clean against the background.
"I'll get you a facial cleanser tomorrow." Gu Zhong said, "It's not my motherfucker, but it's really better than soap."
"Okay." Qi Yue nodded.
He has facial cleanser, Qi Maomao bought it, and it is usually kept in the drawer of the bathroom cabinet, but Gu Zhong said to bring it to him, so he didn't plan to say it.
"I'm asleep." Gu Zhong walked towards the hut, "Am I still sleeping on the other side of the wall?"
"En." Qi Yue responded.
Gu Zhong entered the room, poked his head out again and asked, "Aren't you sleeping?"
"Are you inviting me to sleep together?" Qi Yue narrowed his eyes.
"Good night." Gu Zhong quickly retracted his head.
Qi Yue stretched his waist, stretched his neck, stood up, and entered the hut.
Gu Zhong had already lay down, looking at the photos on the sloping ceiling in a daze.
Qi Yue hesitated for a while, then went to take the photo.
"Huh?" Gu Zhong was stunned and turned his head.
Qi Yue put the photo in the drawer and said, "Chuaner."
"Ah." Gu Zhong looked at him.
"If the gun tower is gone." Qi Yue said softly, "Will you miss me?"
Although it was only an occasional state, Gu Zhong still noticed it.
I asked before "if the blockhouse is gone", and later said "maybe I will become a cook", and now my face suddenly became gloomy like never before.
Gu Zhong didn't dare to ask him what's the matter, if it was about Qi Yue's personal matter, it would be superfluous for him to ask.
And besides himself, Xiao Zhang and the others didn't feel it, maybe he was thinking too much.Paying too much attention to Qi Yue's every move.
"That table wants two lattes." Xiao Zhang came over and knocked on the bar.
"Okay." Gu Zhong quickly withdrew his thoughts and nodded, and started making coffee.
I probably really have too narrow a circle. When I face Qi Yue every day, this person is all in my mind, just a face that no one else noticed. He walked away, and he didn't notice when the guests came in.
He made two cups of latte and served them to the young couple at that table.
"Gu Zhong." The boy looked up and called him.
"Huh?" Gu Zhong glanced at him and found that he didn't know this person.
"It's really you." The boy smiled smugly inexplicably, "Is your hand feeling better?"
Gu Zhong glanced at his fingers, stared at this person's face for a while, and remembered that he was playing with them... a student from the technical secondary school.
That's right, Qi Yue guessed right, he was playing against the technical secondary school team today, and this guy was defending him, he couldn't bring the ball over, and even hurt his finger silently.
"It's fine, it's all right." Gu Zhong said.
"Poke it next time, no, hit it again." The boy raised his eyebrows and smiled happily, "You can hit it with gloves."
What a kid, after despising him on the spot, he brought his girlfriend here and spent dozens of dollars just to laugh at him again in person.
"Okay." Gu Zhong nodded.
Qi Yue didn't know when he was standing behind the bar again, looking at him with interest, his previous gloomy face disappeared, and he seemed to be in a good mood now.
It made Gu Zhong feel that all his previous feelings were illusions.
"I thought you were going to throw a tray in his face." Qi Yue said.
"Am I that magical?" Gu Zhong asked.
"Recall it," Qi Yue smiled, "You are so young, don't you teenagers have a good memory?"
Gu Zhong put the tray away, put his hand on the bar and looked out the door.
It's pretty amazing.He is not a person who likes to provoke troubles, and his temper is not bad, but when someone provokes him again and again, he usually cannot bear it. .
He is so peaceful now, like a middle-aged man.
He glanced at Qi Yue, it must have been infected by a middle-aged man who got up early in the morning and did radio gymnastics N times.
But I don't know why, this feeling is quite good, looking at the boy over there who is a little upset because the provocation has not been responded to, he feels comfortable all over.
Suffocating in the invisible, what a perfect state.
"I'm going out in a while, so I won't be making dinner for dinner today." Qi Yue said, "You and Xiao Zhang can just lock the door and get off work by yourself."
"Okay." Xiao Zhang replied beside him.
"Oh." Gu Zhong also responded, and after Xiao Zhang walked away, he asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
I regret it after asking.
Compared with a true standard employee like Xiao Zhang, he looks particularly abnormal.
Before Qi Yue could say anything, he quickly opened the drawer of the counter and said, "Ah, did you record the milk that was delivered..."
"An appointment with an old friend for dinner." Qi Yue said, "Are you going?"
"No, no, no, I'm not going." Gu Zhong quickly shook his head, it would be fine for Qi Yue to ignore him, but such a formal answer made him extremely embarrassed.
Qi Yue didn't make a sound.
Gu Zhong lowered his head and rummaged through the purchased notebook a few times, raised his head and glanced at Qi Yue, and found that he was laughing so quietly that his eyes disappeared.
"I'll just ask casually." Gu Zhong said, "What's so funny, I'm almost laughing out of parentheses."
"I'm leaving." Qi Yue smiled and patted him on the back, "See you tomorrow."
Qi Yue is seldom not in the store. 24 hours a day, except for sleeping, lunch, and dinner, he goes to the back kitchen to cook a few meals. He spends almost all other time sitting or standing in the corner by the window on the first floor.
Those two glass doors facing the street are like a space-time door, connecting two worlds, the outside is everyone's world, and the inside is Qiyue's world.
Gu Zhong and Qi Yue have crossed the gate of time and space together a few times, and there is no special feeling, but this is the first time that he is lost in thought at the bar and Qi Yue is in a daze in the corner today.
Gu Zhong suddenly felt uncomfortable.
It was the fourth time when he habitually looked over at Jiao Luo's side, that he realized how often he looked at each other during working hours every day.
There were no guests at dinner time, because there was nothing to fill my stomach except coffee and fruit tea today, three groups of guests came in and all left.
"Hey, there are not many bosses like our boss who don't care about business." Xiao Zhang sat at a table, throwing a rag in his hand.
"The boss is so indifferent to the business, there are not many shops that have not closed down." Gu Zhong said.
"What do you eat? I order takeaway." Xiao Zhang said.
"I don't know. I don't have much appetite. Just order me a portion of whatever you eat." Gu Zhong also took a rag and wiped it back and forth on the bar counter.
"I have no appetite in such a cold day. I can eat seven or eight meals a day when it's cold." Xiao Zhang took out his mobile phone.
"It's snowing again." Gu Zhong looked outside, and after the sky became overcast, snowflakes began to float.
"Then there are no guests." Xiao Zhang sighed, "Let's go early today."
"It's okay, you can leave after eating," Gu Zhong sat next to him, "We are single, we have a lot of time to do everything."
Xiao Zhang laughed and said, "Is the quality of the girls in your school not good enough?"
"We are a technical secondary school, and the girls are all underage." Gu Zhong said.
"Hey!" Xiao Zhang yelled, "I didn't realize you held grudges so much!"
Gu Zhong spat twice and remained silent.
"Aren't you asking too much?" Xiao Zhang glanced up and down at him, "After all..."
"Huh?" Gu Zhong looked at him.
"He's a pretty handsome guy." Xiao Zhang said, "He's quite demanding."
Gu Zhong stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you."
After Xiao Zhang was stunned, he reached out to shake his hand helplessly: "Don't learn from Brother Qi to talk about it."
"Is he chattering?" Gu Zhong smiled.
"He used to be a gangster, you know?" Xiao Zhang said, "It's not the kind of little gangster who has a reputation.
"Ah." Gu Zhong didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know whether to use the expression of "I may know more than you" or the expression of "Ah! The boss is actually a former gangster".
However, it is still a very special feeling to hear other people leave the rivers and lakes rumors and talk about Qi Yue for the first time.
"Later, they corrected their evil ways and returned to the right." Xiao Zhang said, "Those who are deeply involved, except for those who went in and died and were disabled, they are all talking about it."
Xiao Zhang's summary is simple and rude, without technical content at all.
"Really..." Gu Zhong said.
"I'm not educated, so I don't understand." Xiao Zhang thought for a while, "Anyway, it's quite special."
"En." Gu Zhong immediately nodded in agreement with this point.
That's right, Qi Yue is always indifferent, he doesn't care about anything and every look has the temperament of a story, it is indeed very special.
Especially when he is not in the store, I will be empty.
The characteristic of Xiao Zhang’s chatting is that he gets off topic very quickly. To say it better, his thinking is jumping. Gu Zhong is still thinking about Qi Yue. He has already completed the jump of "from Qi Yue to his childhood and then to his ex-colleagues".
After the takeaway was delivered, when Gu Zhong buried himself in eating, he completed the jump from "the status quo of the catering industry, to traveling around the world, and to having boys and girls who are the same or daughters who are cuter".
"Brother Qi will probably be single for the rest of his life." Xiao Zhang drank the last sip of soup.
Gu Zhong admired him for being able to turn the topic around and return to the starting point.
"Has he never been married?" Gu Zhong asked.
"No, I haven't been here for as long as you." Xiao Zhang said, "But I heard from my friends that I don't have any. I haven't even had a girlfriend. I've always been alone. Some people used to call him a lonely ghost... ..."
Gu Zhongzheng took a cup and wanted to drink water. He couldn't hold back the urge to laugh when he heard this name, so he quickly turned the switch and spit water at the chair next to him, then coughed for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhang said.
"Such a nickname of Secondary School." Gu Zhong said happily, "If you can't hear clearly, you think it's a gambler."
"He didn't start it himself, how many of those little bastards are not second-rate." Xiao Zhang also laughed, "Sigh, anyway, I think Brother Qi's job is worth it, even if it's not worth it. not worth."
"En." Gu Zhong took another sip of water.
Xiao Zhang has no culture, but the summary he made suddenly is much deeper than the simple and rude one he made before.
Xiao Zhang left after eating, anxious to pick up his girlfriend from get off work, and said he wanted to surprise her.
Gu Zhong cleaned up the shop, and then sat in the corner where Qi Yue usually sat. He wanted to see what was special from here.
He watched the night fall from the evening until after nine o'clock before he came to a conclusion: nothing special.
He got up and opened the window a crack, took out a cigarette and drank it.
When the cigarette was lit, the fire flickered, and in the light of the fire, he saw a person standing under the tree outside.
Now the snow is falling a bit heavily, and it is hard to see who it is, the street lights next to it are on, but just above the side of the tree, the shadows cast by the leafless branches are all over the place, shattering the already blurry figure , have no shape.
He usually doesn't pay attention to people standing outside this kind of shop. Qi Yue dares not to keep anyone in the shop or lock the door, because all the gangsters in this area know that he is a former big gangster with a hidden spirit. For beginners in deep and shallow, generally no one will come in.
And despite the fact that the blockhouse doesn't make money, the owner of the blockhouse is not afraid of losing money at all.
Nagging.very special.
But now seeing the figure under the tree, Gu Zhong stood up vigilantly.
With such a heavy snowfall, there are not many people on the road, and occasionally they walk all the way when passing by. It is not normal to stand in the snow and look into the store.
Walk slowly behind the bar and take a steel pipe.This thing was released by Xiao Zhang, and if he said that the store was smashed again, he would resist.Qi Yue ignored his heroic behavior.
Gu Zhong held the steel pipe close to his legs, and slowly strolled back to the corner and sat down.After smoking a cigarette, the figure was still there and hadn't moved much.
Gu Zhong leaned back on the chair and did not move.For some reason, this person reminded him of the sick man at noon, and Qi Yue's suddenly gloomy face when he heard about the sick man.
He searched the rumors in the rivers and lakes in his memory and the fragments of the past that Qi Yue mentioned very occasionally, but there was nothing about the sick child.
What the hell is going on with this man?
After hesitating for a while, he sent Qi Yue a message.
"There is no one in the store, can I leave early?"
He didn't want to waste time with that person so openly and secretly, it was the most appropriate way to close the door and leave, and it was not easy to cause Qi Yue any trouble.
It took a long time for Qi Yue's news to come back.
"You can leave when Xiao Zhang leaves. You still stay so late and there is no overtime pay."
"Where are you? How do you know Xiao Zhang is gone?!"
Gu Zhong was a little surprised.
"I took the brain out and put it in the freezer."
"What the hell?"
"You can know that he left early with an empty head."
"I'll go!" Gu Zhong looked at the news from Qi Yue, he was stunned for a long time before he was happy, and smiled at the two people, "it's snowing so hard, take a taxi, and I'll reimburse you, if you can't get a taxi, just sleep in the shop .”
Gu Zhong smiled, put the phone back in his pocket, and when he looked outside again, the figure was no longer under the tree, and the snow was falling even harder, probably he couldn't bear it.
In fact, his family doesn’t care much about whether he goes home or not. Usually, his mother would only ask if he didn’t come home on weekends. Before, he often went home because he was not used to living in the dormitory.
or not today
When he thought that if he didn't go home, he would not be staying in the dormitory, but in the store... To be exact, he would be staying in Qiyue's den with a very strong personal feeling, and he felt a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a while, he still decided to go back to the dormitory. It is estimated that he would not be able to take a taxi in this weather. The time to go back to the dormitory is suitable. The door is not closed yet. There will be no classes tomorrow morning, so you can come directly to the store.
Gu Zhong got up, walked around the store, checked various power plugs, and then went downstairs to turn off the lights.
When he went out, the north wind with snowflakes was blowing head-on, and he shivered.
It's so cold.After locking the door, he tightened his scarf, bowed his head and walked quickly towards the school.
After walking a few steps, I looked behind me again, wondering if I was a little nervous, I always felt that someone was watching me from behind.But when he turned around, he saw only two passers-by walking in a hurry, and he was still in the opposite direction, and only saw a figure from the back.
Speaking of which, it's not considered neurotic. Although he didn't ask, and Qi Yue probably wouldn't say it if he asked, but that sickness can change the face of Qi Yue, who is always fooling around, and the two of them must know each other.
Maybe it's still the former enemy.
But when it comes to the Chou family... Gu Zhong turned his head again and still felt that there was someone behind him. He even felt that he heard footsteps, but he still didn't see anyone.
The trees and roof troughs on the roadside have shadows of various sizes and shades, and it is really difficult for someone to stand inside them.
He fumbled in his pocket, but it was empty, and he didn't find anything to defend himself.
It's not like Qi Yue's enemies have never been here before, and Qi Yue didn't have such a reaction to those "ordinary old kids" who came to smash the store before.
It can only be said that if this person is an enemy, it may not be as simple as smashing a shop.
After walking more than ten meters, Gu Zhong clearly heard the sound of stepping on an orange branch on the ground from the rear left.
When I turned my head to look, I still didn't see anyone, just like a ghost movie.
But this time he can be sure that there is someone in the shadows who has been following him, maybe it is that rot.
Gu Zhong stopped in his tracks.The distance from here to the school is much longer than the distance from here back to the gun tower.
In order to avoid uncertainties, after hesitating for a few seconds, he turned around abruptly and started running towards the gun tower.
This running speed, let alone a sick person, even a normal young man may not be able to catch up.He ran to the gate of the gun tower in one breath before stopping.There was silence behind, which was fine.
He took out the key, walked around to the back door and went in.The store is very warm, which makes people relax all over the body.
He poured a cup of hot water and looked out through the gap in the blinds while drinking. Only one passerby passed by for a long time.
Theoretically, if someone really wanted to follow him, it would be impossible to follow him now. After drinking water, he took a shower, took the steel pipe from under the bar, and slowly went up to the third floor.
The lights in the shop were turned off, and he sat on the third floor, staring at the little light cast by the street lamps, and was stunned for a long time.
The phone rang, and a message came in, and he quickly took out the phone.
The message was sent by a classmate in the dormitory, asking him to play games together.He sighed lightly, a little disappointed.But I still clicked on the game, and I can't fall asleep right now, and Qi Yue's movies here are all old movies, so I can only play games to pass the time.
He usually played games with several people in the dormitory very harmoniously, but today it was not going well, and he quit after playing for a while.
Putting down his phone, walked to the window and stared out for a long time, finally he felt uneasy, so he still called Qi Yue.
"Go home or go back to the dormitory?" Qi Yue answered the phone.
It was quite quiet over there, Qi Yue didn't seem to go to the bar or KTV as Gu Zhong imagined.
"No." Gu Zhong said, "I'm still in the store."
"What's the matter." Qi Yue laughed, "Can't bear to leave? Do you want to wait for me to go back?"
"I've already left." Gu Zhong frowned, not in the mood to follow Qi Yueyue back, "Halfway... I shouldn't be delusional, I think someone is following me."
"Did you see anyone?" The smile in Qi Yue's voice disappeared instantly.
"I didn't see the person following me." Gu Zhong said, "But someone stood outside for a long time today. I'm not sure if it's the cripple, I can't see clearly."
"Understood." Qi Yue said, "Just stay in the store and don't go out. I'll go back right away."
"No no no no no." Gu Zhong said quickly, "I didn't tell you to come back because I was scared, I just felt that if I wasn't too sensitive, it would be... for you, I told you to be careful when you come back Son, if you don’t care about smashing the store, just smash it, in case you run into trouble.”
"Well, I know." Qi Yue said, "I'll go back right away, you wait for me on the third floor, and don't come out if there is any movement below."
"Oh..." Gu Zhong didn't say any more, he was a little moved.
I don't know if Qi Yue was moved.
"Leave now?" Chen Gui looked at him, "It's not even 11 o'clock yet."
"The fourth child may have gone to the store." Qi Yue said while putting on his coat, "Are those chicken wings baked yet? Help me find a box and put it in a box. I'll take it home and eat it."
"Didn't you always want to avoid the fourth child?" Chen Gui found a lunch box, a little confused, "Aren't you going to meet him now when you go back? How are you going to deal with this? I said find some people to clean up You refused to let him give you a meal, and now..."
"Now I don't think the fourth child is coming for me," Qi Yue said, "The kid in my store has met him twice."
"What is he going to do?" Chen Gui was stunned, "I think you two are getting close, so...the cat is also close to you."
"Are you drunk and stupid?" Qi Yue took the lunch box and covered it, "Maomao is Da Qi's own daughter, could he move? He thinks Gu Zhong is mine."
Chen Gui sighed and said, "Brother Qi."
"En." Qi Yue responded.
"How do we finish this matter? It's been so many years, these people are dying, retreating, running, why is he so persistent," Ghost Chen lit a cigarette and took two puffs. Standing up, "I'll go with you."
"No need." Qi Yue glanced at the room next to him, where Chen Gui's wife and his son were sleeping, "These things have nothing to do with you for a long time, the relationship between you and me is just that we knew each other before, nothing else of."
Before Chen Gui could speak again, he turned around and opened the door with the lunch box in his hand, and left.
The snow outside has stopped, and there is a layer of snow on the ground, and there is a "chacha" sound when you step on it.
Qi Yue's car was parked downstairs. Before getting in the car, he hesitated for two seconds, looked around the car, and then opened the door and got in the car.
After starting the car, his fingers flicked twice on the steering wheel.
It's been a long time since I felt this way.
It stands to reason that the relationship between Gu Zhong and him is far less deep than that between him and Da Qi, they are just a boy who works in his shop.
But just such a person whose relationship with him can be summed up in one sentence made him feel unspeakable uneasiness and panic again.
Ever since he was expelled from the school in high school, he basically never felt this way again. The only time it happened was the night when Da Qi had an accident.
There was no particular reason for Chen Gui to ask him to meet, but to have some barbecue on the balcony of Chen Gui's house to catch up.
They would meet and chat every few months, which made him feel a lot easier every time.
Maybe it's because this is almost the only opportunity in his life to really have contact with the outside world, maybe it's because of Chen Gui's peaceful and warm family atmosphere.
But Gu Zhong's phone call made his night of relaxation disappear without a trace.
The oppression from the past that he couldn't get rid of over the years overwhelmed him again, but his supposed numb state was changed because of Gu Zhong.
Some things that he had been too lazy to face suddenly became necessary to solve immediately.
For someone who has lived so many years as a recluse, this is a clear anxiety.
It took about four to ten minutes to drive from Chen Gui's house to the Paolou. On the way, he wanted to call Gu Zhong several times, but he didn't.
The fourth child is not strong in fighting ability, and he is still a sick person, which is why he has been only haunting people to bring words to him, and has never had any direct contact.
With his obviously abnormal behavior this time, Qi Yue only thought that he wanted to fulfill his wish that he had tormented for so many years, but he didn't expect him to use such a method.
It was not a coincidence that Gu Zhong met the fourth child twice, even if the first time was a coincidence, the second time was not.
Not by accident, as long as there is one time, it can be determined.
The fourth child has been staring at him, he is not in the shop, the fourth child will not be unaware, and if he still goes in this situation, it is obviously aimed at Gu Zhong.
Moreover, this kind of behavior that was so obvious that even Gu Zhong could be suspicious, in Qi Yue's view, was a blatant provocation.
Rather than being surprised that the fourth child would have such guts, he actually cared more about why it was Gu Zhong?
After 10 minutes, Qiyue arrived in less than half an hour. When I got off the bus, the surrounding area was very quiet, and there were no passers-by. Except for the sound of the north wind blowing, there was no other sound.
Only the lights on the third floor were on in the store, Qi Yue opened the back door, and the first thing he did was to turn on the lights.
While touching the switch, he saw a person on the stairs.
"Qi Yue?" the man asked
"Yeah." Qi Yue heaved a sigh of relief and pressed the light switch.
Gu Zhong stood in the middle of the stairs holding a steel pipe.
"It's so fierce." Qi Yue said, "Didn't I tell you not to come down?"
"I heard the sound of the car door. I guess it was you." Gu Zhong said, "I hid and came down to have a look. I didn't come down to fight."
Qi Yue smiled and raised the lunch box in his hand: "I brought you supper."
"What is it?" Gu Zhong jumped down the stairs, the remaining nervousness on his face was quickly wiped away by the word midnight snack.
"Grilled wings." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong took the lunch box, opened it to have a look, lowered his head and said nothing.
"It's not the leftovers." Qi Yue added, "I just baked it before I left.
"That's not what I mean," Gu Zhong smiled, "I just...suddenly felt a little...unexplainable, did you come back from the middle of the game?"
"What are you playing?" Qi Yue closed the back door, went into the bathroom and began to brush his teeth.
"Didn't you go to play with your friends?" Gu Zhong held the lunch box in his hands, "Generally, the gatherings of middle-aged and elderly gangsters like you will not break up until midnight."
"That's a juvenile gangster." Qi Yue glanced at him, brushed his teeth and said vaguely, "We middle-aged and elderly people don't have the energy, and we fall asleep at 12 o'clock."
"You didn't see anyone when you came in, did you?" Gu Zhong leaned against the door and asked.
"No." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong didn't ask any more questions, whether it was because he overreacted or it was true, in short Qi Yue came back, standing in front of him, he felt at ease.
Even if ten or eight rushed in at this moment... that would still be scary.
Thinking of this scene, he was a little confused, he had promised Qi Yue, but if someone really rushed in, if Qi Yue told him to get out, Gu Zhong looked at the chicken wings in his hand and thought, really get out?
"Do you want to see it?" Qi Yue spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, washed his face, leaned on the sink and turned his head to look at him.
"En." Gu Zhong was a little distracted, and responded casually.
"Okay." Qi Yue nodded, stretched out his hand to unzip his trousers, "Young people nowadays are really..."
"What are you doing?" Gu Zhong was taken aback.
"Pee." Qi Yue looked at him, "I asked you, didn't you say you want to see it?"
"Damn it!" Gu Zhong was speechless, "I won't watch it."
Qi Yue didn't move, but still looked at him.
"Oh!" Gu Zhong came back to his senses, closed the door, turned and walked upstairs, "I'm going, I'm going!"
Qi Yue's happy laughter came from inside.
Gu Zhong sighed.never mind.
It's because Qi Yue rushed back as soon as he answered the phone; it's because he brought himself grilled wings; it's because he picked up a grilled wing and took a bite, and the grilled wings were quite delicious.
He made himself a cup of hot lemon tea and took it up to the third floor.
Except for hurrying back, Qi Yue didn't look unusual.
Gu Zhong felt that this person's emotions were buried very deeply in most cases, and only when he was unprepared would he see obvious changes.
There was still anxiety on the phone, but when I got back, everything was back to normal.
After eating two grilled wings, Qi Yue went upstairs and glanced at the steel pipe he put on the table: "Is it delicious?"
"En." Gu Zhong nodded, "It's delicious, how many more can you eat together?"
"I've already brushed my teeth." Qi Yue took a bottle of mineral water, "Let me see you have a drink."
"What kind of strange hobby is this?" Gu Zhong said.
"I don't know." Qi Yue smiled.
"I can't watch others eat." Gu Zhong said while eating, "I'll be hungry."
Qi Yue didn't speak, the phone vibrated in his pocket, he lowered his head and took it out to take a look, it was a WeChat friend request.
It was sent by a stranger, the name was a bunch of inexplicable letters, and the verification message did not say who he was, only "Qi Yue".
He raised his eyebrows, amazing.But I still clicked through, maybe it’s a friend I haven’t contacted for a long time, maybe it’s...
Before he could click on this person's photo album to take a look, this person sent him a bunch of photos one after another.
"Yo." Gu Zhong took a sip of lemon tea on the opposite side, "This news is better than us young people can talk about."
Qi Yue didn't speak, just stared at the phone.
There were photos of one person and photos of two people. He didn't need to click to open them. Just by looking at the thumbnails, he could tell that the single person was Gu Zhong, and the two people were him and Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong was riding a bicycle, Gu Zhong was sitting in the corner of the store, Gu Zhong was walking alone on the street, and he was eating and talking with Gu Zhong in the store.
This is from the fourth child.
Qi Yue only felt that his fingers were achingly cold.After clicking on the photo and looking at it, he knew why the fourth child chose Gu Zhong to threaten him.
He never knew that when he was with Gu Zhong, he was in such a state——
Smiling happily, the whole person is relaxed.
He even felt a little surprised by himself.
The fourth child is indeed the person who has been with him for several years and knows him very well.
"Go to sleep." Qi Yue put the phone back in his pocket and stretched, "I'm sleepy."
"Qi Yue." Gu Zhong looked at him.
"Huh?" Qi Yue responded, and every time Gu Zhong called his name, he felt that Gu Zhong's serious face was very interesting.
"I don't know what to say, I shouldn't have said anything." Gu Zhong hesitated as he ate the last roasted wing, "After all, I'm a part-time worker..."
"Not only." Qi Yue corrected him, "No migrant worker can sleep in my room yet, and I have traveled all the way to bring Ye Qing."
Gu Zhong smiled and said: "I just want to say, if there is anything, you don't have to hide it from me, let me, even if I can't help you, it's better to say it than to tell me."
"Yeah." Qi Yue nodded.
"You know that sick man, right?" Gu Zhong asked.
"I know you." Qi Yue lit a cigarette, "We've known each other for many years."
"Is it... the enemy?" Gu Zhong asked again carefully.
"I don't know how to sum it up." Qi Yue thought for a while, "He has been with the legendary boss much earlier than me, and his legs are also for the boss's illness."
"Ah?" Gu Zhong was stunned, "Then he is on your side?"
"The one on the boss' side." Qi Yue smiled, "It's not on the same side as me."
Gu Zhong didn't speak, and looked at him with a confused face, as if he was sorting out the logical relationship here, took a sip of tea after a long time and said: "I understand, are you a third party?"
"That's what you said." Qi Yue snorted with a smile.
"Then what is he going to do now?" Gu Zhong continued to ask.
Qi Yue didn't speak, he smoked a cigarette and looked out the window.
"I'll clean it up." Gu Zhong didn't ask any more questions, got up and took the lunch box and cups on the table and went downstairs.
Yes, what does the fourth child want to do?
He probably knew what the fourth child was going to do in the past. He kept torturing him with Da Qi's affairs, telling him to get out, and disappear from the place where he had been fooling around for 30 years.
But what the fourth child is going to do now, he is a little uncertain.
In other words, because of the current state of the fourth child, he even began to suspect that his previous judgment of "what to do" with the fourth child was wrong.
He may have never figured out what the fourth brother was up to.
The lights downstairs were not turned on, and the curtains were closed again. Qi Yue heard Gu Zhong not knowing whether he hit the cabinet or kicked or hit the table.
"Hey!"
A second later, there was the sound of the lunch box falling to the ground, clanging.
"Hey!" Gu Zhong cursed again.
Qi Yue leaned back on the chair and raised his head, smiling at the ceiling for a while.
If my current appearance was photographed by the fourth child, I would probably have an expression that I had never seen before.
He was suddenly very reluctant.Although he couldn't figure out what the fourth child was going to do, he knew what to do in the current situation was the safest.
Convince the fourth brother, close the blockhouse, leave, and leave this place he refuses to leave anyway.
There is probably no better way than this.
"It's time for you to buy toothpaste, boss." Gu Zhong jumped up the stairs, carrying the mint fragrance of toothpaste on his body.
"Is it gone?" Qi Yue asked.
"It's gone." Gu Zhong said, "Also, don't you use facial cleanser?"
Qi Yue couldn't help but laughed again and said, "We middle-aged people all use soap."
"What's wrong with you? In this weather, your face is not cracked?" Gu Zhong moved closer to him, "Your skin doesn't look like you've used soap for a long time, it's pretty good."
"My skin is so good that you squeeze me into middle-aged and old people every day." Qi Yue looked at him.
The bridge of Gu Zhong's nose is straight, with a bit of stubbornness, and his eyes look extraordinarily clean against the background.
"I'll get you a facial cleanser tomorrow." Gu Zhong said, "It's not my motherfucker, but it's really better than soap."
"Okay." Qi Yue nodded.
He has facial cleanser, Qi Maomao bought it, and it is usually kept in the drawer of the bathroom cabinet, but Gu Zhong said to bring it to him, so he didn't plan to say it.
"I'm asleep." Gu Zhong walked towards the hut, "Am I still sleeping on the other side of the wall?"
"En." Qi Yue responded.
Gu Zhong entered the room, poked his head out again and asked, "Aren't you sleeping?"
"Are you inviting me to sleep together?" Qi Yue narrowed his eyes.
"Good night." Gu Zhong quickly retracted his head.
Qi Yue stretched his waist, stretched his neck, stood up, and entered the hut.
Gu Zhong had already lay down, looking at the photos on the sloping ceiling in a daze.
Qi Yue hesitated for a while, then went to take the photo.
"Huh?" Gu Zhong was stunned and turned his head.
Qi Yue put the photo in the drawer and said, "Chuaner."
"Ah." Gu Zhong looked at him.
"If the gun tower is gone." Qi Yue said softly, "Will you miss me?"
