It was four hours before I left Daffodil's house.

Sure enough, Rong Li stayed for dinner.He watched the old man grit his teeth and take out the last egg from the cabinet, and the soreness in his heart gradually expanded.But Rong Li did not refuse, he knew that this would make the old man feel better.

But he didn't expect that after the meal, the old man tremblingly counted out the money from the drawer and insisted on returning him the cost of seeing a doctor.

Rong Li didn't want to accept it, so after a lot of defiance, he finally accepted the coin despite the old man's stubbornness.

Then, together with the part that was left in my hand, I stuffed it all back into the drawer when the old man didn't notice.

——That's why Rong Li didn't have the money to take another bus, so he had to find out the route and prepare to walk back to the store.

……

……

The original two-hour drive would take about four or five hours instead of walking on human legs.

In the process, you have to pass through many alleys, which can be regarded as a shortcut.

Rong Li sighed, "The navigation is really good, you can find this kind of place", while turning up his collar, he tried his best to appear indifferent, and strangers should not enter.

Fortunately, there was no more trouble along the way.The legs kept moving, it was not easy to look around, and the only thing in my mind was the road in front of me.Before he knew it, the words Huang Narcissus had said earlier came into his mind again.

The cause was her injury.At the clinic, the doctor pulled up the old man's pants.He only focused on the old man's high swollen ankle, but Rong Li's eyes fell on the scar on the old man's leg uncontrollably.

He cares a lot.I didn't talk much when I was in the clinic, but when I got back to Daffodil's house, I still spoke out my doubts.

Unexpectedly, Huang Narcissus was even more puzzled than him, and said: "You don't know..." After a pause, looking at Rong Li's fair face, she seemed to understand something.

Rong Li explained: "I had an accident in front of me, I hurt my head, I don't remember what happened before, and I lack some common sense."

Huang Shuixian sighed and murmured, "Why do good people always suffer this kind of punishment?"

She didn't care about the detail that Rong Li's wounds couldn't be seen on the surface.Covered by her hair, she couldn't see clearly at first.

Daffodil told him lovingly: "It's not a big problem. I was scratched by a mining truck, and it didn't affect me at all."

Rong Li: "Mining truck?"

Daffodil made a vague voice in his throat: "Yes. You can mine with your hands."

"..." Rong Li held his breath slightly.He originally thought that the "not affected" by Daffodil meant that he got a full rest later.Unexpectedly, things will be like this.

But in this way, the string of black marks on the old man's scars can be explained.

Rong Li's mood became heavy uncontrollably.He imagined such a scene in his mind, in a dark mine, the old man—or a younger thin woman—knelt on the ground, holding a pickaxe with both hands, and striking the ore in front of him.The picture zooms out, and more people kneel beside her.The light was so dim that half of the people almost melted into the shadows.They keep doing, keep doing, providing energy for the people inside the protective net...

The terminal I just bought suddenly made a beep.

Rong Li's thoughts were interrupted.His first reaction was that Daffodil found the extra money in the drawer, so he contacted him according to the contact information he left.And he had already figured out how to deal with it. He lived far away, and he couldn't explain the distance to the old man. It didn't matter, she stayed by herself——Rong Li realized that he was wrong when he saw the terminal screen. .The beep was because he was going in the wrong direction.

He took two steps back, looked at the fork in the road, and felt inconceivably that the place he was walking in was not an "alley".This is the one in front of you. Looking at the width, only children under the age of three can walk in with their bodies upright, and the rest of them have to turn their bodies sideways.

Rong Li took a deep breath and began to study the electronic map.After a while, he gave up.It seems that the new passage can indeed save a lot of time. It almost cuts off the nearest point from two roads that form a right angle.

He gritted his teeth, took a breath, and began to squeeze in.

People around are not surprised by this.

Halfway there, he stopped to catch his breath.But after taking a few breaths, Rong Li felt that his behavior was completely wrong.When walking, the sense of oppression was not so clear, and it was clearly transmitted from the walls in front and back of the body. He suspected that the wall inside became narrower as he walked in.The bricks pressed against his chest made him look like the hapless prey of a boa constrictor.Every time you inhale, it makes the feeling of suffocation in the back a little stronger.

let's go.He had no choice but to make up his mind, and it turned out that the half-minute time difference prevented him from getting out of this narrow path in time.Instead, when he was about to enter the wide space, he heard the familiar opening words: "Over there, take out your ID card."

is the inspector.

Due to the existence of underground people, there is always a worry in the protective net that "in case they sneak in and take away our few resources".Always spare no effort to confirm the identity, vowing not to let a suspicious person go.

It didn't take long for Rong Li to regain consciousness, but he had seen several news about it.Of course, there is another argument: the so-called "underground people" are just an excuse for the inspection bureau to oppress the people.For this reason, they can stop people anytime and anywhere, and then they can find an excuse to bring them back to the bureau.Next, just make a phone call and the family of the person who has been taken away will rush to deliver the money.

The diners swear by it, and they also cited various things that happened to their relatives and friends as examples.But Rong Li listened carefully for a while, and found that there was not a single example that the diner himself recognized.From this, he felt that the credibility of this statement was not high, but in any case, as a person without an ID card, he could not make any progress in "just finding an excuse" and could be taken away.

The young man seriously thought about whether he would be suffocated to death on the way if he returned the same way.

"Okay." He heard someone answer, "Please wait a moment."

wait wait.Rong Li carefully controlled his breathing.

"Why haven't you found it yet?" After a while, the inspector said in a bad tone, "Isn't there none? An underground person?"

Rong Li swallowed.Reason told him it was dangerous, but there was still a voice saying that at this moment, all the inspectors' attention was on another person.If I observe the situation at this moment, and even take the opportunity to walk past, maybe it will be safe.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.The inspected person spoke again, saying, "Oh, I found it!"

The opportunity is coming!

Because of holding his breath for a long time, Rong Li's chest felt as if it was about to explode.There was a thin layer of sweat on his eyelids, and now he gritted his teeth and took two steps towards the exit, and finally saw the scene outside.

Rong Li was taken aback.

He actually saw two acquaintances.

Oh, not acquaintances either.It's just that one of them has been to the restaurant many times, and the diners quietly commented, "Why do you check it so often? I'm afraid it's not for public interest, I want to take the opportunity to stay here for a while" and the other is a few hours ago. The man who met in front of the protective net and helped Rong Li and Huang Shuixian repel the attackers.

The breath in his chest was released all of a sudden.Rong Li realized that the movement he made was quite loud, and by the time he drew the eyes of the two of them together, it was too late.

Two pairs of eyes, four gazes looked at him together.The inspector's hand had already touched the law enforcement stick on his waist, beside him, Qi Huang took a step back, ready to escape.

Who would have thought it would be that small?It's time for the guard at the gate to change, but the new one is a stunned young man.After looking at Qi Huang's forged documents for a long time, his eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and he had to go to the system for inspection with his ID number.

Qi Huang made a decisive decision and gestured to Rong Shu who had already gone out, signaling that she should leave alone and leave.Then retreat slowly, and after withdrawing from the circle of guards, run away!

As soon as the foot moved, the results of the system over there came out.The entire entrance and exit was in chaos, and all inspections were fully armed, and they wanted to arrest Qi Huang.

Of course he ran.Hide in the city for a while to avoid the limelight, and then look for another chance to leave.

I didn't expect there to be more unlucky.As soon as the guards chasing from the door were thrown away, the room leaked and rained overnight, and another random inspection was encountered.

Qi Wang also recognized Rong Li.However, the situation is not the same as before, and now is not the time to "reminisce about the past".That kid looked like he was from the inner city, so there would be no problem...

"Stop!" Well, it seems that he is not the only one who has this idea.The inspectors looked at Rong Li for half a second, then grabbed the law enforcement stick and turned to Qi Huang again.

Qi Huang took a deep breath and said, "Sir, am I here to get your certificate?" While speaking, he took out something from his pocket.

The angle is there, the inspectors haven't seen it clearly, but Rong Li has already seen it clearly.It was definitely not a document, more like a knife.

Did he fight this kind of thing today?Rong Li's cheeks twitched, and he called out, "Coincidentally, why are you here?"

Qi Wang didn't feel that this was said to himself, and neither did the inspectors.He didn't turn his head back, but said in his mouth: "Isn't this a task suddenly issued by the superior, and an additional round of inspection is required?"

Qi Huang was taken aback.What made him even more stupefied came next, Rong Li quickly walked to his side, slapped him on the shoulder, and directly shook the dagger in Qi Huang's hand.Maintaining a smile again, he said to the inspectors, "It's been hard work. For the security of the city, it's really hard for you."

Qi Huang tensed his cheeks and remained motionless.The inspectors complained: "Hey, isn't this why the underground people are getting more and more rampant?" Their eyes turned around between Qi Huang and Rong Li, "Do you know each other?"

Rong Li gave a vague "hmm".

The inspector put the law enforcement stick back and said, "Okay, then I'll just turn a blind eye." Then, he smiled at Rongli, "Has it become more and more difficult to order in your store recently?"

Rong Li knew what this meant.He must have also seen that the man had no documents, but he didn't feel that the man really came from outside.He simply used the other party's mistake of "forgetting to bring his ID when he went out" to make a deal with Rong Li. You know, a table in a restaurant is much more expensive than a man's family coming to bail him out.

Inspectors feel they have earned it.Rong Li's eyelids twitched, knowing if there was a better way to escape at the moment, he could only say: "Come another day, I'll treat you to a staff meal." Blinking, "You don't dislike it, do you?"

The inspector laughed "haha".His purpose was to stay longer in the store, what to eat was not the point.Sure enough, he was satisfied at the moment, and said, "Okay. Let's go, I will continue to patrol."

Rong Li said goodbye to him.

When the person turned around the corner, Rong Li heaved a sigh of relief.

The man next to him still seemed worried.He took a few steps forward, looking around the corner.After confirming that the person had really left, he turned his face and looked at Rong Li.

Rong Li thought he wanted to thank him.But after waiting for a while, the other party didn't seem to have that intention.He had no choice but to speak by himself and said, "I'm leaving too."

At the same time, Qi Wang also said: "You will have trouble later."
