Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

After finishing the big bowl of porridge, Lin Jiu took Xiao Hai back home.

And the poor 007 worker - Lin/Maomao/Jingzhi, has to stay and patrol the streets.

Fortunately, she only had to patrol the east part of the city. After dividing an area with Xiao Jiang and Da He, she began to patrol the territory assigned to her.

This era seems to be at the end of a prosperous period and the beginning of a chaotic period.

What the entire society presents is extremely polarized.

The streets are brightly lit and bustling with people.

And in the dark and narrow alley, there is another tragic world.

Some of them were high on drugs, their clothes were disheveled, their chests and backs were exposed, they were leaning against the wall, looking up at the sky and grinning foolishly.

Some were lying on the ground, shivering as if from the cold, but their hands, as dry as chicken claws, were still tightly clutching a cigarette.

Some people have smoked so much that they have no money to buy tobacco, and they are dragging their crying wives and daughters out to sell them.

Jingzhi can't handle the first two.

In the latter case, she killed him with a single blow, then wrote a letter of accusation against him and hung it on his chest. She then tied him up and hung him at the city gate as a warning to others.

She was only assigned to a small area, but she caught several such incidents. Her delicate eyebrows couldn't help but frown more and more.

As more and more people were hung on the city wall, her heart grew heavier.

She gradually felt that the entire society seemed to be being dragged into an endless swamp.

There seem to be jackals, tigers and leopards in the darkness, spying on this fertile land, but the naive people are still deceived by the truth and live happily.

……

As the night grows darker, the laughter and joy fade away.

The lights in the distance went out one by one, leaving only the huge moon hanging obliquely in the sky, illuminating Jingzhi's path.

Suddenly, a faint light on the roadside ahead caught her attention.

She was very familiar with that location; it was Abao's stall.

She walked over and frowned and asked:

"Why don't you go back? It's midnight and the night market has already closed."

Ah Bao raised his fan and pointed helplessly at the bowl in front of the stall:

"Today, there are only two customers, you and Master. Oh, plus one person who came to buy a shuttlecock, so there are three of us. I... have to wait a little longer."

"Haste makes waste. You should wait a while and then go back. There is no one on the road." She advised.

A Bao pursed his lips, and the hand holding the fan tightly gripped the handle. He did not respond to her words, but instead laughed dryly and asked her:

"What about you? It's midnight now. Aren't you going to hand over your shift?"

Jingzhi nodded, and after searching around without success, she said, "I'll take one last look around and then I'll go back."

"……it is good."

Jingzhi walked three meters away when Abao suddenly called her.

"Brother Lin, you can't catch them all."

"...So what?" She didn't turn around, but just tightened the handle of the fan.

When she was alive, her family broke up because she caught a drug dealer.

Because of this reason, she and Lin Feng experienced many twists and turns for no reason.

So when she saw this kind of person or this kind of thing, she absolutely could not sit idly by.

Since Jintong doesn't let her change the situation, then she can only take care of the little piece of land in front of her.

A Bao looked at her straight back and suddenly said, "If you really want to intervene, why not investigate Wei Batian?"

"Don't tell Master I said that," he added.

Jingzhi paused slightly, and the breeze carried her word "good" into Abao's ears.

……

The other end.

Lin Jiu, who had already returned home, couldn't sleep for some reason tonight.

He lay sideways on the bed, his eyes fixed on the sugar-free hawthorn string wrapped in oil paper on the desk.

"Do you want to eat?"

"I'm done eating it. Hawthorn acid, I'll give this back to you."

"It might be a little painful, just bear with it."

"Brother Lin?"

"Brother Lin."

"Brother Lin!"

……

why?

Why is she all on my mind?

The scenes of my time with her flashed through my mind, finally stopping at the two clear tears she left at noon.

Lin Jiu covered his swollen and painful chest and suddenly got out of bed.

He thought he had heartburn because he ate too much at night.

Maybe... eating some hawthorn to help digestion will help.

Lin Jiu walked to the table and opened the oil paper.

Looking at the bright red hawthorn, his fingertips paused for a moment, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and picked it up.

Pick one from the end of the skewer, put it in your mouth and chew it slowly.

very sour.

What she said was true.

Then why not eat the candy together?

Would it really be better to separate and become an independent individual?

Wouldn’t it taste better if the sweetness of sugar was mixed with a little sourness?

Lin Jiu looked at the second hawthorn from the top, which had a small tooth mark on it.

Why retreat?

Are you scared?

Lin Jiu closed his eyes, then plucked the hawthorn and looked at it in the moonlight.

She has really pointy, small teeth.

Yesterday...she even bit him.

Why... would he help her suck her wound? He wasn't someone who would meddle in other people's business, nor was he someone who was so close to her...

Humph.

This hawthorn must also be sour.

Lin Jiu watched for about a quarter of an hour.

Pick up and put down.

Pick it up and put it down.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath and stuffed it into his mouth carelessly.

After chewing for a while, he smiled helplessly.

This one has a sweet and sour taste.

How will you know if you don’t try?

Lindi is a fool.

He... too.

Lin Jiu opened his eyes and looked at the small handful of hawthorn seeds in his hand. His eyes, which should have been sharp, were now filled with confusion and entanglement.

It turns out that he is not only a fool, he is also a pervert.

I've only known her for two days.

But he seems...

I've already started to have thoughts about her that I shouldn't have...
