Red dust kills beauty

[-]. Female number ②

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

During the day, I do grocery shopping, cooking, and chatting with my neighbors, pretending to lament that the world is not peaceful.

At night, occasionally I sleep, but more often I don't; I can't sleep.

Some... some ghost-like things, they entangled in my mind, if there is nothing, invade every dream of me; I can't sleep no matter what.

Once I got up from bed in the middle of the night, wandered to the window sill, and sat on it to watch the moon.The house given to me by the employer I killed was on the second floor facing the street, and below it was an oil shop—this kind of shop that almost disappeared a hundred years ago is now popular again.

I also know that this is an old city, with many buildings, narrow roads and crowded people, so it is not surprising that I met that brother who is a soldier patrolling in the middle of the night.

It was he who greeted me first.I heard the familiar knocking sound, and when I lowered my head, I saw a young man in military uniform standing downstairs, holding a gun, looking up at me stupidly.

I don't know why, but I feel very kind when I see him. He is a cute big boy who can let me see some vague shadows.

"Good evening." I lowered my head and replied lightly, "Are you on patrol?"

He switched the rifle from his left hand to his right hand, wiped the sweat from his palm on his pants awkwardly, and then switched it back again: "Huh? Uh, yes! I'm patrolling here," he smirked, "This belongs to our class Tube."

I nodded and ignored him.

He hesitated on the spot for a while, and said louder: "Well, you'd better not sit on the windowsill, it will fall off."

I froze for a moment: "It's okay, it's okay."

He insisted: "It's dangerous."

This kid is so cute.It's a kind of cuteness that I'm familiar with.Probably someone very similar to me, unfortunately I don't remember.

I stopped talking and looked at him for a while.He took a step back after being stared at by me, and stammered again: "Why, what's the matter?"

I patted the window sill: "Want to eat late at night, I stewed chicken soup today."

"This, this is not good..." He blushed, embarrassed.

I tilted my head: "But the soup is still hot and delicious."

He gave in.She shyly climbed up the window and got in.

We gradually became acquainted, and he told me his name, Shen Heping.

"A bit old-fashioned, isn't it?" He smiled shyly. "In our platoon alone, there are three named Heping. Fortunately, my surname is Shen, not Li."

"Sounds like the old X Xue." I scooped up another spoonful of beef for him, "Eat more."

We are sitting at the small table of the owner of the oil shop. I am used to making more food and serving it to the boss couple and Shen Heping.

Another green uniform came across the street. Seeing that he was still holding a bowl, he picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it, shouting, "Shen Heping, what are you eating! Assemble!"

That was their squad leader, he was very fierce.Behind him were several young men dressed in the same clothes, all of whom were comrades in arms of Shen Heping. Seeing him sitting with me, they started laughing and whistling again.

The child was so frightened that he choked, poured all the rice in the bowl into his mouth in a hurry, and was choked again. He beat his chest in pain a few times, said "Sister, I'm leaving", and ran over in a hurry. His squad leader patted the back of the head.

I couldn't help smiling.

Time passed by so slowly, and a year passed without waves.When they changed their winter military jackets into lighter spring clothes, I became acquainted with the neighbors.

"Sister, don't take food. We don't lack food." The two elderly couples in the grain and oil store are from Hunan. It is said that they escaped disaster more than ten years ago and settled here. died.

I was in a daze, but when the proprietress gave me a slight push, I said "ah", "but I can't finish it."

The boss was hesitant to speak, but the lady boss met his eyes, then bent down and put it in my ear, and whispered: "Don't show your wealth... I know you have food, but every day you have big fish and big meat, and the fragrance of the whole neighborhood You've heard it all! Girl, be careful, you're a single woman, and you're so pretty—some people... say it harshly."

She has an old smell on her body, not smelly, just the smell of an old woman, and a little bit of prickly heat powder and essential oil.

Will I live long enough to smell old?Anyway, none of my family members survived.Every time I think of this, I feel hot in my eyes.

I was stunned again, and it took me a while to understand what the other party meant.

"Let them talk." I said, "It's pathetic for them to worry about it every day."

The old man probably really has some special wisdom. Not long after we talked about this, one time when I was going home with a vegetable basket, when I passed an alley, I was dragged in with my mouth covered.

I can avoid it, but I was a little curious about what they were going to do, so I was dragged into it.

The vegetable basket was torn off, and a man who was obviously the boss was carrying it and rummaging in it: "What did this little girl eat?"

I glanced at him and immediately understood.This person is so mediocre, I was not interested, so I looked away: "Do you want to eat? I will see you off."

The one who was pulling me grabbed me again, and said sharply, "Be honest!"

This is an outsider.I turned back to stare at him rather curiously. He rubbed his nose and shouted again: "What are you looking at!"

He's more interesting than that mediocre man.I glanced at him again and asked, "What are you arresting me for...?"

The vegetable basket was thrown on the ground, and the mediocre man smiled—the kind of laughter I don't like: "You understand very well, they said that there is an official's mistress living here...is that you?"

He switched to Mandarin.

It turned out to be this.I thought it was something more interesting.I had no taste: "You say so."

I knelt down and picked up the basket: "I'm leaving."

But I didn't make it, and several of them stopped me.I found it very annoying, and asked them if they had done this kind of thing before, and the boss was very proud, saying that he specially taught me such a dirty slut.

Oh, that's to pick out single women.Then I don't have to hold back.

The alley was full of blood, and I was a little worried holding my blood-spattered skirt.Then I reached out to the only survivor, the man who had just yelled at me to be more honest: "Can you lend me my coat?"

His gaze was still a little straight, and the hand that took off his coat was still a little unsteady.I took it and turned it over, hiding the bloody side, and wrapped it around my waist.

Then I said: "Heping said that your class is in charge of this area, so can you ask someone to clean it? People will be frightened when they come to throw garbage tomorrow."

That man, Shen Heping's squad leader, ignored my words, but put his hands on his lower back, as if he wanted to draw his gun: "Who the hell are you? Are you a big Alpha?"

I touched the nape of the neck, where it was soft, thin skin covering the bones, without the slightly hard feeling of glands.

"I don't know." I said confusedly, "I don't know what gender I am."

The squad leader seemed hesitant to speak. I remember that he has always been very irritable. If I interrupted his action this time, he probably wanted to scold someone.

I ignored his entanglement, told him to remember to clean the alley and left.

Shen Heping came to see me the next day, and walked around behind me like a puppy: "Sister, what did you do to the monitor? He gave me extra training last night! He told me to ask you!"

I thought about it, and took out a handful of candies from my pocket, and picked up the raspberry jam flavored one, which I like very much: "Take it and divide it."

Holding the handful of candy, Shen Heping said blankly: "Sister, don't you just like to use it to perfuse me?"

"But they are delicious." I said seriously.And Shen Heping is a foodie.

He wiped his face in frustration: "Yes."

He peeled off a toffee, looked at the foreign characters on the colorful candy wrapper, and sighed, "Rare goods! Sis, where did you get them?"

I put the raspberry-flavored one in my mouth, and the sugar ball rolled from left to right, Gululu, and from right to left, Gulululu.

"Sister, don't pretend to be stupid! You said you were in a daze, but you just didn't want to answer, right!"

Gu Lu Lu Gu Lu Lu.

So where does all my food come from?

Of course it is the witch family.

After a lot of effort, the Wu family finally snatched this piece of land from the Xu family in a way that they couldn't find a handle on. In order to keep it, all the direct descendants of the Wu family were sent here.The principal here is surnamed Wu, named Wu Qi, who was the one I was taken to for questioning last time.

In order to win over me, he often distributes some supplies, sometimes I go to get them, drink tea together by the way, and sometimes his subordinates send them over.

What kind of imported candy, what kind of pig milk, what kind of cloth lipstick... are all good things that can't be bought in the market.So it is not groundless to say who I am the mistress of.

This time he invited me to drink tea again, and we had nothing to talk about, this man is a workaholic and a control freak, basically just work, I just stared at the glass greenhouse next to me in a daze.

It was getting late, and I stood up: "I still want to eat the candy from last time." Raspberry jam was wrapped in yogurt, which was really delicious and beautiful.

He glared at me: "You are not welcome at all, I don't have two cans."

I insisted: "That is still there."

He gave me a hard look, then sighed, and rubbed the space between his brows: "I'll give it all to you."

I gradually discovered the advantages of women.Especially such a harmless-looking woman—both male A and male B seemed to give in to me easily.Male O don't know, I have never met.

The adjutant dug out two beautiful metal jars from under the bookcase, and the villain with bare buttocks and wings on them was embossed and lifelike.One was opened, and it was full of candies of various colors, and the other was only half filled with candies. I estimated the amount, and the ones that were eaten were exactly the ones I got last time.He wasn't lying, he did give me all the sugar.

I like this candy box.

I hugged them and turned around on the spot, the lake blue skirt swayed slightly, and I also liked their petal-like radians.

So I grabbed a handful of my favorite raspberry candies and put them in front of his desk: "I can do something for you."

Wu Qi laughed loudly: "I serve you like a eunuch, but I can't buy you with two boxes of candies?"

I shook my head: "This is different."

He didn't ask me to do anything special, he just said that this place is very important, he didn't ask me to help the platform, he just hoped that I wouldn't take orders from outsiders, and just turned around and typed this place down again.

After I went back, I asked the owner of the oil shop: "Why do we send so many people here to guard?" I didn't find anything special here.

The boss is old and mature. An outsider who can manage an oil store related to supplies under the circumstances of war and loss of children is a person that should not be underestimated.

He spoke, only squinting at me.

I said, "Wu Qi asked me to guard this place. I need to know what kind of enemies I will encounter."

During the few days when I was hunted down, I hid outside. After I came back, the house was cleaned up. I heard that the boss downstairs helped to take care of it.Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to serve them often, and they would never believe that I am Wu Qi's mistress.

He withdrew his scrutiny, and let go: "Whatever my sister says, it's all about soldiers."

I pretended not to hear.

Sure enough, he continued: "I heard that there is a research institute underground here—the locals know it, but they don't know what it is for, but it is because it is so important that it has been occupied five times and three times. "

This is something Wu Qi would never tell me.

I got the idea, and inquired about the specific location, he revealed a few words vaguely, I understood, changed into light clothes that night and went.

It was in an extremely remote outskirts, and it wasn't necessarily underground. It could only be said that the main research departments were hidden underground. The surface was an ordinary farm, except that the fence was not made of wood and stone bricks but high-voltage barbed wire, nothing special.

I observed it for a few days and found it more and more interesting.

Because I found that occasionally, when I was close to that place, I would see a dim red line extending from my fingertips, like a candle in the wind, intermittently connected to the ground.

But every time I tried to trace the trace of that thread, it disappeared without a trace.

I'm really curious. I haven't been so curious about a thing since I woke up in the corpse pit.

This curiosity continued until one day, as usual, I sat on a tree far away in the countryside, looking in that direction from afar.

Then I saw a teenager.

Next chapter: Little Dumb ①

I asked curiously, "Why don't you speak?"

?April [-]st

Wu Qi is Lianhua's distant uncle.It was the person who colluded with Ivan in Volume [-], who was later handed over, and has already burped.From his point of view, he lived and died for the Wu family for most of his life, but in the end he was torn down by a junior, so it's no wonder he didn't go crazy.

Aning in Juan [-] is a teenager who can only talk about his brain.Most normal.Volume [-] He is a cruel and cruel adult who loves to play with emotions.Occasionally crazy batch.In the third volume, she is basically a lunatic.

The temperament is probably a bit similar to Luna in the movie version of HP, that kind of airy feeling, a little nervous, and a little fairy.

The casting of Luna is really good. When I read the original book, I always imagined her image as that crazy divination professor: her eyes are big and protruding like goldfish, and her speech is not very normal.

As a result, as soon as Luna appeared in the movie, I almost sprayed: Are the students of Hogwarts blind! ?This is clearly a fairy!
