God of danger

Chapter 23

Li Aili was waiting for the steamed meat powder, while Guan Xiaomou, who was in charge of buying it and promised to be back soon, hadn't returned for almost an hour after buying it.

She didn't dare to go away when there was a fire in the stove, and Guan Kuan went to the street to grind meat again. Li Aili had no one to call, so she had to ask Guan Min to find someone.

Guan Min just got up, wrapped in a big fat padded jacket, was washing his hair at the gate, his hair was full of foam when he was called, and complained as soon as he heard this, and said disgustedly: "Why is he so annoying? All the soy sauce needs someone to carry the bottle for him, and I’m halfway through washing here, how do I get there? I’ll talk about it after I finish cleaning it.”

Housework is like a string of dominoes, one postponement after another, Li Aili can't wait, although I feel the same with her in my heart, but I still feel her tone is a bit harsh, I think it's just going out to find someone, how difficult it is , so impatient?

Since Guan Min entered the third year of junior high school, I don’t know if it’s because of the high pressure. His temper has become a lot stronger. He can’t be said to be lazy. Anyway, he has done a lot of homework, but he can’t shout anymore. Although there is a saying Tell the family not to care so much, but as long as they are people, they can't help but care about it.

Li Aili doesn't know anything about children's education, she is just amiable, and she will favor whoever is wronged, regardless of gender.

This is the past few days of preparing for the New Year's goods. I don't know how many times I heard her promise reluctantly. Li Aili was sulking for a few seconds. After all, she still felt that reading was important, so she raised her hand to untie her apron.

She took off her apron and confessed: "Forget it, I'll go find him, you can wash your hair, but please take care of the kitchen stove, don't turn it off or let the firewood fall out, starting a fire is no joke .”

Guan Min didn't want to go for a drive with wet hair, so he happily agreed.

Li Aili walked into the main room and pushed the [-] big sticks into the courtyard, and when he went out, he saw the same person, and the neighbors were also planning to go out.

Lu Jianxin was propping his motorcycle on the open space in front of his house, with a cigarette in his mouth. Behind him, Lu Rongxing was flipping onto the car. After he sat down, he covered his head with the hood of his coat, and turned his face to his father's back. Lie down and wait to go.

Lu Jianxin felt that this was too flimsy, and yelled at Wang Yang to bring him this and that, but Lu Rongxing lay still on his stomach and said no need to leave quickly.

The father and father were sitting in the same car, and they happened to be facing Li Aili, the difference in appearance was immediately obvious.

Li Aili was amused in his heart, thinking that Lu Jianxin didn't look very good, but he gave birth to a handsome son, and Lu Rongxing's facial features didn't quite follow Wang Yang, Wang Yang was very sweet, but his eyebrows and eyes Very positive, his appearance doesn't change much when he grows up, he must be handsome and handsome.

Here she was commenting on other people's appearance, while Lu Jianxin over there forced his son to arm himself, and turned around to greet her: "Sister Ai Li, you are on the street again."

This is a common catchphrase in the town during the Chinese New Year. When people in the capital asked others if they ate it, Li Aili smiled and said, "No."

Lu Jianxin asked her what to buy, so I could use it as a reference. After all, it is not easy to prepare the ten dishes and eight bowls of dishes for serving guests. Everyone has to gather the best of the family every year and try to change the tricks.

Li Aili said that there was nothing to buy this time, but to grab people.

As soon as Wang Yang heard that she didn't need to run away, he made a plan and said: "Hey, don't go, let Lu Rongxing look for it. They are going to go to the street anyway, so they buy two bags of chicken feet and duck feet. It's very fast. Let's go Jianxin brought the two of them back together, the street is blocked and you can’t even walk, come here quickly and help me see if the meatball stuffing has enough flavor, I can’t taste it.”

The market is just such a street, as long as Guan Jie doesn't go to the game hall or classmates' house to play, the Lu family father and son will definitely see him on the road, and the request from the kitchen is hard to refuse, Li Aili left the car at the door, really I went next door to help taste it.

Riding a motorcycle in winter was like running naked in a zero-degree wind of grade eight. Lu Rongxing was armed with a mask, earmuffs and a woolen cap by Wang Yang, and only his eyes were exposed.

Lu Jianxin parked his car outside the freezer store and went in by himself. Before going in, he gave him 50 yuan and asked him to buy something he wanted to eat, and he went to find Guan Jie by the way.

Lu Rongxing turned around and left, and was stopped at the first intersection.

There are tricycles, electric vehicles, and vans everywhere. In order to give way to the bus honking in front, those in front backed up while those in the back squeezed forward.

Lu Rongxing then turned right and walked inward along the road, intending to go around the back of the blockage, but after walking a few meters, he saw a gap of nearly 1 meter between a van and the pickup truck in front, so he stole a Lazy, passed through the seam of the car.

No matter how long the blocked road section is, it is dangerous to do so. The World News came very fast. He had just passed through the front of the car when he was hit by a person rushing out from behind. The person was running very fast, and Lu Rongxing Caught off guard, he jumped directly to the ground in front right.

The person who bumped into him didn't expect a boy to suddenly appear from the cracks in the car, and he had already bumped into him when he saw him. Fortunately, the winter clothes were thick and wouldn't scratch the skin.

Lu Rongxing was fine, but he was taken aback. He propped up his arms and got up while looking at the person who hit him.

It just so happened that the visitor also bent over to pull him, and the two of them met their gazes. The man had a sorry expression on his face, but Lu Rongxing, who was showing his eyes, narrowed his eyes and recognized that it was Cai from the police station. The police officer was the one who took notes for Xia Tian when his family lost money, but he didn't wear a police uniform today, so he didn't look so serious.

There were four people beside him, Lu Rongxing looked at Miansheng, but saw that they were all panting anxiously, and he didn't know what to do.

Probably seeing that he didn't say a word, Officer Cai was not sure what happened to the child for a while, so he quickly asked, "Are you all right?"

Lu Rongxing shook his head, stood up with his help, took off half of the earmuff strap to reveal his face, and greeted him: "I'm fine, Officer Cai."

Police officer Cai obviously didn't remember him, but seeing that he was so polite, he didn't want to ask him why he crossed the road fiercely, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, telling him: "It's fine, don't do this next time Got it, you know?"

Lu Rongxing nodded, ready to leave, but saw the other party frowned, and said: "Too many people on the road today, children are fine, don't run on the road, go home early and watch TV, do you hear me?"

After he finished speaking, he exerted a bit of force in his hand, and pushed Lu Rongxing onto the front teeth. At the same time, he waved his other hand forward, and ran away with the four adults.

Lu Rongxing bent down and patted the ashes, but failed to wipe them all off. He stood up and went back to the street with the most people. He still wanted to find Guan Jie.

……

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there must be success, because he likes to join in the fun.

Every few days at the end of the year, people from the town will come to row colorful boats, which are flower boats with a roof made of bamboo strips and colored paper. Every door sang and danced.

Playing, playing and singing surrounded her, and there was a special guide who said auspicious words in the interval between the sound of gongs and drums.

They have a lot of fun at the door of each house, and the host will give some gifts in return, some are a few dollars, some are a pair of sweet cakes, and some canned yellow peaches.

The colorful boats were rowed from house to house, and the performances were the same over the years, but Guan Jie still went around every year. What made him interesting was not the performances, but the man who was in charge of talking.

This uncle is very talented, he speaks well, his sentences rhyme, and his words are like jumping beans, which makes people very eager to cheer.

For example, he just said at the door of the last house that the musk deer has its own fragrance, the clouds have their own fragrance, and the boss's girl is so beautiful.At this moment, I met a generous male host, and said that this head is well handled, either a cadre or a leader.

Of course, this kind of coquettish talk is different from Gong Xi Fa Cai, he only said it at the door of people who gave a lot of gifts in return.

Guan Jie carried the two catties of steamed meat powder that his mother asked for, and followed the crowd hahaha, so hard that he couldn't even remember to eat the meat.

……

"Brother, are you going to rob a bank? Wrapped up like this."

Before Lu Rongxing could find Guan Jie, someone patted his shoulder from behind, and Zhang Yiye appeared on the right, holding a bag of chestnuts in his hand, and gave him a hand for him to grab eat.

During the few minutes when he met Police Officer Cai, Lu Rongxing had originally taken off his mask, but it was difficult for him to be frugal. After walking for a while, he was so cold that he wanted to have a runny nose, so he put it on again.

It was already hard for him to be hurt by the criticism from his deskmate, Lu Rongxing said flatly: "If you don't fight, there is plenty of money."

"Cut," Zhang Yiye sneered and threw a chestnut into his mouth, and said sourly, "You only have a few cents, don't be too content. By the way, aren't you a mite in the bed, why are you willing to come to the street gone?"

The sound of gongs and drums in his ears gradually became louder. Lu Rongxing followed the sound and saw a group of people 40 meters diagonally across the road. He felt that Guan Jie might be there, so he slowly approached there. , and said while walking: "Come to buy a pen refill, and help his mother get Guan Jie back by the way."

Zhang Yiye didn't hear the reason for the explosion, so he didn't say a word, and threw the chestnut shell in his hand into the rubbish pile on the side of the road.

After throwing it away, he was reminded of some related memories by the garbage dump, and whispered mysteriously: "I only told you when you were a brother, don't go out and talk about it."

Lu Rongxing didn't hear anything yet, so he had to give him a guarantee in advance that the secret would not be leaked, but he still nodded: "Say."

"In summer, I edited a group of photos for you. Do you remember? There is a photo of the beggar on the road. I will tell you about the process later. Anyway, when my dad saw it this morning, his expression was weird. Very soon, I will go back to the criminal investigation team soon, not to mention, you just called me and told me to stay at home and not go out on the street."

After Lu Rongxing heard this, for some reason, he thought of Police Officer Cai and his party who were running wildly on the road just now. His limited life experience told him that there might be troublemakers or thieves on the street. He said calmly, "Then what are you doing here?"

Zhang Yiye said "Hey" twice, looking mean: "I asked him why he didn't tell me, I was so fucking curious, I couldn't help it."

There is an allusion that curiosity killed the cat. Lu Rongxing knew it, but he seldom dropped his book bag with others, so he didn't speak, and only expressed his speechlessness with silence.

The two of them crossed the road and came to the place where the colorful boats were being performed. Zhang Yiye squeezed in twice, but Lu Rongxing didn't. After walking half a circle around the crowd, he saw himself in the crowd. The coat I wore last year.

It was inconvenient for Guan Jie to applaud while carrying things, so he could only dryly follow others and shout "Okay". Now he was halfway through the clap, when he felt someone pulling his hat with a lot of strength.

He twisted in a temper, and then turned his head to look. When he saw Lu Rongxing across the crowd, his temper turned into a smile again.Since he still wanted to see it, he didn't drill out, but stood still and waved: "Hey, what a coincidence."

Lu Rongxing ignored his "seductive" hand, and said heartily, "It's not a coincidence at all, it's your mother..."

Before the conversation started, Guan Jie himself was awakened by the key words, "Ah", the smile was instantly frozen on his face.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Rongxing saw him come out like a loach, left him and ran towards home, saying as he ran, "You come to me, right? I'll go back to deliver the things first, and then come back to pick them up..."

Before the word "you" was finished, the crowd five or six meters in front of Guan Jie suddenly exploded, as if someone had thrown an invisible shock wave there, and the people panicked and spread outward in the shape of birds and beasts.

In the gap between them escaping and retreating, Guan Jie saw that beggar whom he could see almost every day was holding a knife in his hand, charging and waving it around, causing everyone to flee or fall wherever he went.

The beggar ran towards Guan Jie along the road in the gap opened by the knife.

The hat he usually wore was knocked off by the speed and the wind at the same time, and the few strands of knotted hair covering his face seemed to be cracked, tearing away his previous illusion of shrinking, fearful and stupid, revealing a A ferocious new look.

Behind the beggar, Lu Rongxing saw Police Officer Cai and others who were chasing after him. Two of them ran away from the team and rushed into the small alley of the residential building on the side of the road. Other exits from the street.

Everyone else was running, but Guan Jie didn't realize it. It wasn't until Lu Rongxing came over to grab his hand that he was led to run in a daze, looking back at the beggar while running.

He thought ignorantly and confusedly that a beggar who usually doesn't even dare to lift his head can become so scary, so would other people he knew also have such a side?

This thought made Guan Jie shiver suddenly.

The so-called knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart, sometimes it is impossible to tell which is a human and which is a beast with just a pair of eyes.

That day the beggar scratched two passers-by on the street. Fortunately, under the protection of winter clothes, the injuries were not serious. The police in the town worked together to restrain the beggar, escorted him to the police station and sent him to the city. It was revealed that this was a wanted criminal who had killed someone.

There was actually a wanted criminal in the town. The breaking news spread as fast as the murder case. The people on the street were especially shocked and frightened. They all said that they had been around a murderer for so many years.

Under the influence of people's strong curiosity and the fact that this nagging aunt and uncle are family members of the police, the next evening, public opinion on beggars was renewed on a large scale.

It was spread everywhere, saying that this beggar was a city resident thousands of miles away. After killing his father and stepmother in the first year of high school, he hid the corpses at home as if nothing had happened for a week. After being discovered, he fled for five years. He was caught in their town, and the person who saw through his identity was Police Officer Zhang on the back street.

Because they were also half-grown teenagers who killed people, people talked about the beggar and Li Yun together, and lamented what happened to the world and these children.

In the evening of that day, Zhang Conglin, who was highly praised by others, came to the compound of the Grain Management Office, and visited Lu Rongxing's home with cigarettes and alcohol.

Zhang Yiye came after him and saw his father and Lu Rongxing's father kissing and spanking at the door, and praised: "Jianxin, your son is very good at taking pictures, really, if it wasn't for that photo, the beggar wouldn't know How many years will I have to show off in the town, I have to represent our police, thank you guys."

Lu Jianxin smiled so much that his eyes disappeared, but he still pretended to be modest: "Hahahaha, he just took pictures for fun. We won't accept these things. You take them back and send them to Take it away, your brothers."

Zhang Conglin insisted on sending them off, and the two just pushed and shoved there. Zhang Yiye felt that these adults were hypocritical and boring, so he hurried to Lu Rongxing's side, bumped him with his shoulder, and teased, "How does it feel to be a hero?" Like? Are you happy? Is it glorious?"

Lu Rongxing didn't have those feelings, he just didn't expect that he would pick out a prisoner with just a "click", and now he is still very surprised.

Of course, there was also a little bit of fear. He thought of the passive stack of books on the pipa, and the back of the piano case was where he put the film. He couldn't help thinking, could it be that beggar who came to his house that day?He didn't find the negative, so he stole some money?

Guan Jie was standing on his right. Before Zhang Conglin and his son came, Lu Rongxing was talking about this with Guan Jie.

Guan Jie said it was possible, then squeezed on him, and said that fortunately, the beggar didn't go crazy when he was taking pictures by the river that day.

Lu Rongxing got goosebumps all over his body when he said it.

At this time, Zhang Conglin was pushed away in the open space. He bypassed Lu Jianxin and Wang Yang, rushed to the corner with a stride, put the cigarettes and alcohol on the chair, and ran diagonally towards Guan Jie's house, shouting as he ran. : "Accept, accept, I still have some work to do, you stay."

Lu Jianxin was a bit fat, unable to catch up with the criminal policeman who ran 5 kilometers every morning, so he laughed angrily at the door of the house: "Oh, I'm so stupid, why are you like this?"

Zhang Conglin smiled, then slammed on the brakes, and stopped straight in front of Guan Kuan who was squatting in front of his house watching the excitement. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, shook out one and handed it to Guan Kuan, saying: "Old Guan, is your daughter here? I have a few questions to ask her."

Although Guan Kuan was a little dazed and apprehensive, he still took the cigarette and called Guan Min out of the room.

Soon after Guan Min came to the main room, Zhang Conglin told her not to be nervous, took out a few photos from the briefcase under his armpit, handed them over and said, "This is the money we found on that beggar. You and Li Xiaobo in your class are written on some money, take a look, what's going on?"

Guan Min took the small stack of photos, and looked down to see a small "Guan Min" in pencil on the lower left corner of the back of the 20 yuan bill in the first photo.
