sunken square

"I..." Chen Yuechi said as if making up his mind, "I don't want you to think that I just go to bed for..."

The answer was not unexpected.Guan Rong looked at him for a long time, then smiled and touched his face.Chen Yuechi also smiled and called him, "Brother."

"Cub, happy birthday." Guan Rong said.

Chen Yue responded in a low voice: "I am very happy, I have never been so happy in my life."

Guan Rong said, "Call me."

Chen Yue didn't know why, but he still did it: "Brother."

Guan Rong closed her eyes tightly, kissed him on the lips for the last time, got up and went to the bathroom.

Sleeping until midnight, Guan Rong was startled awake by Chen Yuechi's movement, sat up and found that he was still sleeping, probably having a nightmare, with his hands clenched into fists in front of him.Guan Rong turned on the night light, and covered Chen Yuechi's fist with the palm of his hand, but Chen Yuechi slammed his backhand hard, and his fist hit Guan Rong's forearm, causing a dull pain.

Guan Rong couldn't help hissing, Chen Yuechi struggled to wake up, and sat up panting.After finding out where he was, he was a little flustered, and he didn't say a word of apology, but Guan Rong said, "It's okay, cub, it's okay."

He reached out to touch Chen Yuechi's face, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.Chen Yuechi turned his head to the side, and accepted his silence while not facing him.

After calming down in the early morning, Guan Rong hugged Chen Yuechi and asked, "What did you dream about?"

Chen Yue responded honestly: "My sister."

Guan Rong kissed him between the eyebrows: "I've always wanted to ask you."

Chen Yuechi nodded, obediently waiting for him to continue.Guan Rong said: "Your sister is to you..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly felt that it was boring to ask such a question, so he took the second half of the sentence.Chen Yuechi answered him after a while: "If I hadn't thought of her, I might not have lived."

Guan Rong put his arms around his shoulders: "Yes."

After entering the New Year, except for the bustle of the back street, the passenger flow in the sunken plaza has visibly decreased, especially during this time. The short street where the bookstore is located has closed several old stores one after another.There was a seller of old porcelain nearby who had been taken care of by Guan Rong, and sent some vases over before he left.

"Business is terrible." The owner of the porcelain shop shook his head and sighed.

Chen Yuechi asked: "What are you going to do next?"

The boss smiled: "I didn't think about it. The competition for entering the mall is too great. Our small business of selling old things can't continue. If you really can't do it, change careers, and you won't starve to death."

After sending people away, the younger sister ran over in a hurry, and before she even had time to say hello, she yelled loudly when she entered the door: "The square is about to be demolished!"

Chen Yuechi was taken aback visible to the naked eye.

When the younger sister approached, she was so anxious that there was sweat on her forehead: "Brother Yue, Boss Guan, I heard from Brother Lei that the sunken square is about to be demolished!"

Both of them turned to Guan Rong, seeing that Guan Rong didn't respond, they looked at each other.The younger sister's face turned pale: "Is it true, Boss Guan?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Guan Rong said, "The square occupies such a good location, and the new urban area will expand, sooner or later."

What he said was the truth, and the two people beside him were speechless for a while.

When his sister left, Chen Yuechi suddenly asked, "Brother, where did Ah Chu go?"

"Shanghai." Guan Rong said, "I heard your sister mention it. She is actually quite suitable there."

Chen Yuechi nodded.He asked again: "Although books are also sold online... what should we do if the square is really demolished?"

Guan Rong shook his head: "Let's talk."

Then there was a long silence.The news should have just spread, Zhuang Hua and Gong Yuanzhong both called, but Guan Rong didn't answer.

In fact, before Zhuang Hua came to Guan Rong that day, Guan Rong had already looked for Gong Yuanzhong.Just on the day of Chen Yuechi's birthday, Guan Rong received a text message from Gong Yuanzhong.

The time was found at random, before going out Guan Rong said something was up, Chen Yue tacitly didn't ask any more questions, just told him to be careful.Guan Rongxiao asked if there were any safety issues, Chen Yuezhi turned his head to do things, saying that he was always afraid that he would be robbed.

The younger brother whom he had never met was buried in the cemetery in the north of the city. The day Guan Rong picked was a sunny morning.

The child on the tombstone is very handsome, and there is no sign of illness or weakness.Guan Rong sat in the cemetery all morning and left when the sun was at its highest.

This cemetery is on the outskirts of the city, and the surrounding area is extremely barren. It takes a long walk to get taxis and buses.

Passing by a deserted path, someone called out "Guan Rong" at the turning. Guan Rong turned his head away, and someone put a sack around his neck and strangled him violently.

Instinctively, he turned back a crutch, which made the man grunt.At the same time, the strength on the neck suddenly increased, and Guan Rong didn't know what was in the sack, Guan Rong only felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and all the strength in his body suddenly dissipated.Then he fell headfirst.

Consciousness gradually returned.Guan Rong opened his eyes and couldn't see anything. He realized that he was leaning against the wall with his hands tied behind him.The blindfolded cloth made him very uncomfortable, and he heard the sound of metal buckles hitting.

He said calmly: "Zhang Xiu."

Zhang Xiu laughed: "Are you awake? Thought you didn't know it was me."

Guan Rong didn't answer, Zhang Xiu taunted: "You Guan Rong is a fan of thousands of people, you have so many friends, if you don't know who loves you like crazy."

Guan Rong's calmness and silence made him a little annoyed, and he tore off the cloth strip on Guan Rong's face.

The face of the person in front of him was black, his eyes were red, his cheeks were sunken, and his energy was running low. It was not the appearance in Guan Rong's impression.Although we haven't met each other for a long time, Guan Rong has heard more or less about his affairs.

Originally a door-to-door son-in-law, he gained assets and backing by getting married, and even the work of the children's palace was arranged by his wife's family.The last time Guan Rong heard about him from a colleague, it was because he was fooling around outside and was caught by his wife. The incident became serious, his father-in-law took away his house, and the Children's Palace also politely proposed to him to let him Voluntary resignation request.

"Guan Rong, I fucking hate you the most, how much I have paid for you!" Zhang Xiu pointed at him.

Guan Rong didn't bother to refute, and asked, "Want to do it with me?"

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled maliciously: "Fuck you. Smelly bitch."

"How did you tie me up?" Guan Rong said with a smile, "Don't you just want to do it? It's not a big deal."

He glanced at Zhang Xiu, and then at the table, where there was a fruit knife.He continued: "How afraid are you of me? I don't have any strength right now."

Zhang Xiu sneered: "Don't try to procrastinate, no one will come to save you." He picked up the knife on the table: "I'll scratch your face when I'm done."

Guan Rong shrugged, and said indifferently: "It's more enjoyable to be/fucked than to fuck others. I have good skills, do you want to try?"

"I believe you." Zhang Xiu took a step forward, almost bumping into Guan Rong's face.

Guan Rong turned his head slightly to avoid it, and at the same time Zhang Xiu changed his face, he suddenly propped up his body, pushed his shoulder hard against his abdomen, and while he was bending over, hit his jaw hard with the top of his head.Then he turned around in the tied position, grabbed the small knife on the table, pointed the knife backwards, and slammed it backwards with the weight of his body.The knife stabbed Zhang Xiu's abdomen.

Zhang Xiu cried out in pain, Guan Rong turned around and kicked him, didn't want to look at him any more, just ran out of the room with the bloody knife.

When I went out, I found that it was an old building that had been abandoned for a long time.

Guan Rong cut the rope with his backhand while walking in the tall grass, and threw the knife into the grass.He has the numbers in his hands, so it's actually not a big problem to go down with the knife.

After getting on the main road where cars came and went, Guan Rong tidied up his clothes a little.I didn't know where the phone was left, and I fumbled around but didn't touch it.The wallet was gone too.
