life after death

Su Wen frowned and said, "What classmate?"

Seeing his expression, Yang Hong knew what he was thinking, and after explaining a few words, the wrinkles between his brows eased: "That's because I want to thank you."

That's it, dinner.

Although it was dinner, Su Junping left the house early in the morning and stuffed a set of papers in his schoolbag before leaving.He asked Wang Wenjie out first in the morning, played games in the Internet cafe, and had a delicious meal of junk food at noon.Considering that he was going to Chen Yilin's home to copy his homework, he bought an extra family bucket. The paper was covered with chicken, and a smell of meat mixed with ink and fried chicken lingered by the side of the schoolbag for a long time.

Su Junping walked into the alley humming a song, and then saw a scene he would never forget: Chen Yilin held a shiny fruit knife to his neck.

He shook a glass of Coke and dropped it to the ground with a thud, two flowers bloomed on the white foam on the sneakers, he didn't realize it, but Chen Yilin seemed to feel something and glanced at him, the blood faded in an instant.

That morning Chen Yilin went to the wholesale base to buy five grains for making cakes. When the New Year came, there were many more people buying cakes for auspiciousness, so the business was very good these few days.

He dragged a sack of flour and approached, and saw a middle-aged woman pulling a seven or eight-year-old child in a circle in front of the store, asking aggressively.

"Let me ask you, did you buy their cakes?!"

The child hesitated for a long time before saying, "I ate it, but..."

"But you are so big! You all heard clearly, my son made it clear that he had a stomachache after eating their cake! Do you know food poisoning! You really didn't see how fierce the situation was at that time! So young The child at [-] o'clock had diarrhea so many times in one night," she made a gesture of twelve with her hand, "still vomited and vomited! If I hadn't been sent to the hospital earlier, maybe I wouldn't be able to come back It’s over! My poor son, he’s only six years old, so small, how difficult it is for your mother to pull you up! It’s all caused by this old woman!”

She pointed arrogantly: "I'm here to seek justice today! You have to pay for my son's medical treatment!"

Chen Yilin squeezed in with great difficulty, and saw his grandma cowering in front of the door, shaking her head and saying no, she saw Chen Yilin rushing over, talking about her daughter with moist eyes.

Chen Yilin was still flustered at that time, handed the sack to grandma, and stood in front of everyone.His height stood out from the group of old men, old ladies, and middle-aged women, and he glanced at them lightly, with a compelling light in the corner of his eyes.

"What's the matter, come to me."

The middle-aged woman was choked by his aura for a moment, straightened her waist immediately, and snorted coldly: "Oh, it turns out that you are in charge, that would be even better, the total is 580 yuan, and I will not blackmail you , the receipt is here."

Chen Yilin took the receipt and directly crumpled it up and threw it on the ground.

"What about the evidence? Don't tell me that eating our pastry is considered evidence. How many people here have eaten it, why didn't anyone come out to complain about their stomach? That big yellow dog also ate the cake I fed, according to your statement , does the dog next door have to count as my share of the money?!"

After Chen Yilin finished speaking, he let out a deep breath. He himself was surprised by his sharp teeth. He was not like this before, and he was not like this in school.Only in front of this dim sum shop, he must face all the malice with full armor.

This is the vegetable market, the world of the common people, and it is a place where you can compare anyone who is more shoddy, short-lived, and shameless.

That woman is easy to get rid of, it's just because the old lady is only there, and everyone can be bullied if they are confused, and he will have a backbone at home when he comes back, so naturally he can't be blackmailed.Chen Yilin turned around and went back to the store, only to hear the woman's sinister laughter.

"Who said it was only my family?"

Chen Yilin turned around abruptly, and saw the silent old man tremblingly opening his mouth: "Xiaolin, I have also taken care of your store for so many years, and you also believe in my character. False. I bought it back, ouch, it also hurts in the stomach, and I went to the hospital to hang up a lot of salt water.”

Someone started up, like a fly biting a crack in an egg, and then there was a never-ending swarm of flies.Chen Yilin looked at those aunts and uncles who said "I am me too", and felt that a bucket of cold water was being poured on him, which froze his heart in this cold winter.

He looked at those faces, countless faces, countless wrinkles, all of them without exception had a pair of hanging triangular eyes, short and small eyebrows, flat lips, and those thin lips opened and closed. The same words come and go.

They finally discussed it, and the middle-aged woman said: "One word, it is to pay! You have to pay for my family, and you have to pay for other families! If you are willing to pay honestly, this matter will be over, you If you want to deny it? Okay, let’s call the police to judge who is right and who is wrong! At that time, it will not only be as simple as losing money, but your store will also be closed. Let the northwest wind go, everyone has kind hearts, we will treat it as nothing if you lose money, do you think it is fair?!"

justice.

What a nice word.

How can anyone in this world not like justice?

He scanned the faces carefully, the kind faces.He thought he was so stupid, why did he think they were here to watch the fun at first, they were clearly here to eat human flesh and blood!

The old man who was the first to speak said: "Xiaolin, I know your family is hard, but isn't it hard for other families? Everyone lives in their belts, please be considerate and considerate of us. Everyone bows their heads and sees them. They're all neighbors."

What a persuasive tone.

Chen Yilin wiped his face and found that his face was wet as if he had just fished it out of the water. He put his hands behind his back and pinched his fingertips almost masochistically, so as to keep his face calm and breezy, and even squeezed out A smile came.

He heard his voice full of laughter say: "I'll go in and discuss with grandma, please wait outside."

The old man immediately agreed with understanding.

Chen Yilin forced himself into the store, found the enamel washbasin, and washed his face with a ladle of water.His grandma, who was wrapped in plaid cloth, approached him tremblingly, lying on his shoulder and crying in a mess.

"I'm sorry, it's me, I was careless, I was confused, when I made noodles... I thought it was okay to eat..."

Chen Yilin glanced at the tearful grandma lying on her shoulders. He had grown taller, and he could look down on her. Looking at the old man whose back could no longer stand up, he suddenly felt a heavy sadness.

A heavy sadness that almost crushed him.

On the one hand, he was thinking very emotionally over there, why me?Why do I have to?I have been silent about the teasing of fate once, should I swallow my anger for the second time?On the other hand, he used his well-developed right brain to quickly calculate how much money he had to hand over. There were eleven people outside the door. people.

Chen Yilin lowered his eyelids and looked at himself in the washbasin. The water surface was shattered, and his face was also shattered. The water was another world.His two thoughts, which were not against the water, collided suddenly, and the resentful and unwilling side instantly swallowed all his rationality. He leaned down suddenly, nose-to-nose with himself in the water, and suddenly laughed softly.

He heard a voice in his ear saying to him: Who is he?

He is not human, he is not Chen Yilin, he is nothing.

Only someone who is nothing can save him.

Chen Yilin grabbed the towel and wiped his face dry, and slipped the fruit knife into his sleeve. His series of movements were so smooth that no one noticed.

As soon as Chen Yilin came out, the eagerly awaited crowd immediately became overjoyed. The middle-aged woman said, "I won't make it difficult for you. Come on, I'll give you a small change, five hundred and eight."

What a generous man.

Chen Yilin stared straight into her eyes, smiled and said thank you, then stepped forward and pulled out a snow-white fruit knife from his sleeve.

People outside screamed, Chen Yilin didn't turn his head, and locked the sliding door behind him. His grandma was banging on the glass door vigorously, but he pretended not to hear it.

The old man trembled and said: "Xiaolin, if you have something to say, talk it out, everyone can discuss it, young people have a lot of future, don't be impulsive..."

The six-year-old skinny monkey hid in his mother's arms, and the middle-aged woman screamed loudly. Chen Yilin frowned, thinking that the screaming was really ugly, like a duck quacking.

He heard them howling for a long time, then suddenly raised his other hand, put his fingers on his lips and let out a soft "hush", and everyone immediately looked at him in silence.

Chen Yilin saw himself in their eyes: his face was ruddy, and the corners of his eyes were smiling. He was so normal that he couldn't be more normal.

He said: "Quiet, I'm here to solve the problem, not to listen to everyone's mourning. Besides, no one died, so save your energy and howl later."

He turned around in a circle, trembling everywhere his eyes went, and finally fell on the old man, his body trembled like autumn leaves, Chen Yilin frowned, he smelled a hot The smell of urine, the old man was so frightened that he lost control of himself.

But the old man didn't realize it: "Xiaolin, don't be impulsive, you have to calm down..."

Chen Yilin: "I am very calm, if I am not calm, the knife will not be aimed at myself, but at you.

Frankly speaking, I have no money, and I dare not do anything to you. Although you are all in your seventies and eighties, I am still afraid that if something happens to you, I will not be able to afford it.

But I dare to attack myself, I am still young, I can decide my own life, I dare to splash blood on the spot, anyway, it is not my money. "

He smiled lowly: "Do you dare?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze on his back, he frowned and turned his head away, and bumped into Su Junping impartially.
