99th day of imprisonment

Kidnapping and holding hostage are different concepts.

If Zhang Chi was held hostage by gangsters to ask for money at first, it seems that it can no longer be divided in that way, because Xu Lifeng never asked him to withdraw money again.But it wasn't kidnapping, Zhang Chi had never seen Xu Lifeng call anyone for extortion.

"What do you want? If you want more money, I have hundreds of thousands of deposits in my passbook, and you can send me back and get it all for you."

"That would be too dangerous for me."

"You don't want money or blackmail, are you planning to drag me around like this, so that you can have a meat shield to help you block the guns when you meet the police?" He coughed, and the liquid in his mouth still had a faint smell of blood.

"It's not that I haven't considered extortion." Xu Lifeng replied seriously, "You have too few contacts in your phone, and you haven't been able to find a suitable person to blackmail, but now you have."

The name that he couldn't help but breathe out even in a coma - Cheng Jun.It must be a very important existence, maybe this person can give a good price.

However, unlike the plan brewing in Xu Lifeng's mind, Zhang Chi was deeply involved in the verbal harm brought by Xu Lifeng.The number of contacts in his mobile phone is indeed pitiful, except for Cheng Jun, there are only a few colleagues or clients who are in constant contact with him.Want to ask why?It was all because I impulsively told my parents everything.

It is inevitable to get angry, and even say things like cutting off the relationship between father and son.After calming down, he wanted to talk again, but Zhang Chi was heartbroken by repeated rejections.Forget it, break it up, change the number and leave that house, and live hard outside alone until you meet Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun's fiery offensive made Zhang Chi both happy and scared. He had never experienced such a strong emotion, and he didn't know how to guard against it. In the end, he couldn't resist and accepted Cheng Jun's pursuit.

How many years?Wouldn't it be nice to live together peacefully?Why are you so keen on novelty? How can there be so much novelty in life that can be created? The pace has not been consistent from the beginning, and it is expected to reach this point today.

But Zhang Chi didn't expect the ending to come so suddenly, and he encountered such a terrible thing before he had enough time to sort out his emotions.

Knowing that Xu Lifeng is not as vicious as the other two accomplices, there is no room for negotiation.Stealthily observing Xu Lifeng's face, Zhang Chi said after deliberation, "Why do you do this? Isn't it good to find a job in peace? Robbery is quick money, but if you miss it, your life will be ruined."

"I didn't go to school, so I can only do this."

"Maybe I can help you..." Before he finished speaking, he was punched hard in the stomach again, Zhang Chi shrank away in pain, he didn't understand how he angered the thug again.

Xu Lifeng's eyes were so cold that people couldn't help but tremble, he gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Chi viciously, "How can a person with a smooth life understand my difficulties? Hard work money can't solve anything! If you don't want to be beaten, don't talk so much nonsense."

Maybe it was because he was worried about his injuries, or maybe he felt pity for seeing himself suffering from a fever, Xu Lifeng clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't attack again.No matter what the reason was, Zhang Chi found that his mood had inexplicably become very good, his mood relaxed, and he couldn't help but laugh lightly, and teased the guy in front of him who was outstretched.

"You refused to let me go because you were afraid that I would call the police. This is understandable. But why didn't you kill me?" The smile became more obvious, and Zhang Chi could hardly restrain the upward curve of his lips, "Because you dare not kill ! Now it’s just a situation where you can’t ride a tiger.”

"You talk too much." Xu Lifeng ignored Zhang Chi, and started to tidy up the dusty room that he hadn't lived in for a long time.He didn't know if the hostage had been driven crazy by being locked up for too long, and he was able to laugh and talk nonsense like that, did he decide he didn't dare to kill?

This is really not good, because...he really didn't dare to kill people, and he had never even done anything like kidnapping. The other party's words hit his weakness.Xu Lifeng kicked down the chair beside his feet angrily. He didn't know how to deal with this hostage. Before making a decision, he might have to raise the hostage like this. No matter how he looked at it, it was ridiculous.

I can finally live in a house with windows, see the sunrise and sunset, and see the lightning and thunder clearly, all of which make people feel alive for a long time.

It's just that although there is a window, there is still no hope of escape. Zhang Chi watched Xu Lifeng bring back a large bundle of iron pipes, nailed all the windows, and even welded them together exaggeratedly. He also added three iron pipes on the outside of the broken door as a latch. .

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, is it because he has a criminal record of running away?As for such an effort to transform this old house into an iron cage?Even if there were no iron pipes, it would be impossible to escape if the ankles were locked.

"I'm hungry." Zhang Chi said to Xu Lifeng's sweaty back, "Can I give you a stutter?"

Stopping his hands, he rudely kicked the tools to the corner of the wall out of the way. Xu Lifeng glanced at Zhang Chi impatiently, and went into the kitchen without saying a word. After a while, the strong smell of instant noodle seasoning wafted out.

The noodle bowl was thrown heavily in front of him, and the splashed soup scalded Zhang Chi's legs.He pays attention to health preservation, and has never been exposed to these junk foods full of preservatives and hydrogenated oils. At this moment, even when he is so hungry that his chest sticks to his back, he actually finds it delicious.

"What's the date today?"

"NO.12."

Ah?Zhang Chi looked at Xu Lifeng in surprise.As a hostage, it is very weird to ask the robber the date, not to mention that he also knows that Xu Lifeng is not willing to have too much communication with him. When he was ready to be ignored, the other party answered so lightly. His question was unspeakably awkward.

Ignoring the strong sense of disobedience as much as possible, Zhang Chi calculated silently.It's been ten days, ten days have passed since the day he was kidnapped at the gas station.Did anyone call the police?Will the police find this remote old bungalow?If this continues, there is really no hope of being rescued.

Outside the window was orange, and the sun was about to set. Xu Lifeng, who hadn't gone out for many days, dressed neatly, took a stack of money from his bag, and left the dilapidated house.Still the same outfit, still the same knife.

Zhang Chi leaned against the corner, with his head deeply buried in his arms.I really want to ask him where he is going, and when he will come back, but how can I ask him?Are you crazy?Maybe I'm really crazy.

Unable to do anything, and no one can speak a word, in the quiet empty house, except to sleep and sleep, until the stomach is so hungry that it is almost impossible to stand up, then staggered up to look for food, raw or rotten , As long as it can fill the stomach, it's fine, lingering like a walking dead.

The sky turned from black to white and then black again. After seeing the wind and rain, even the sound of insects became as beautiful as the sound of nature. Zhang Chi listened intently to the same sound, and murmured the number of those insects once or twice. One hundred.

His dull eyes stared out of the window without any focus, he didn't need anyone to kill him, he knew he was crazy!

I don't know when, deep in my heart, I began to look forward to the familiar sound of footsteps, and I couldn't restrain my joy when I heard the sound outside the door, but I couldn't help but feel depressed every time I heard the barking of wild dogs.

When Zhang Chi had completely stopped expecting the voices from outside, Xu Lifeng finally came back.
