After passing through the book, he was targeted by two fierce A's

In the blink of an eye, I spent a week in Qingteng Yigao.

Early on Saturday morning, Ye Jue took the bus to the mobile phone repair shop that Ye's sister-in-law had found for him.

The repair shop is down an alley.

The entrance of the alley is paved with cement slabs, and there are mottled marks on the walls on both sides.

Upon entering the shop, the first thing Ye Jue heard was the cry of a child.

The woman holding the doll was anxiously coaxing the baby. Behind the counter was a man with a tool unloading the battery of his mobile phone.

From time to time, customers come to the door, speaking in a local accent skillfully, "here is a universal charger."

There were surprisingly many people in the repair shop. Ye Jue waited in line for a while, and when it was finally his turn, the boss checked his PHS and said, "You can repair this PHS."

Immediately relieved, Ye Jue asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Not expensive, normal price, are you still a doll?"

"Well, I'm still in school."

"This phone looks old." Prying open the back case, the boss looked at the battery, and his voice was unclear when he held a cigarette in his mouth: "Nowadays it is rare to see PHS, why don't you get a new phone."

I could afford a PHS a few years ago, so it is reasonable to say that it is not bad to change to a new mobile phone now.

Ye Jue didn't answer, just asked him: "When will it be repaired?"

"Come and pick it up next Saturday. Thanks to our family, you are looking for it. Other families don't repair PHS."

The boss said: "I have repaired many mobile phones over the years, and yours is not difficult to repair."

"Two years ago, a little doll also came to repair the PHS. His phone was so scrapped that it was broken into two parts and flooded. Fortunately, the phone card was fine, but he couldn't make calls, he could only receive text messages... ..."

The baby in the proprietress's arms cried loudly.

The anxious sweating woman's eyes were slightly red, she hurriedly carried him to the back room, the crying disappeared after a while, and the man continued to smoke, chatting as if dealing with a few regular customers around him.

"You know, those missing cases..."

"Another woman is missing?"

"It's a crime, this time it's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, and the parents are crying at the police station to find the child."

"It must not be found. Are there still few people who have disappeared in the past few years?"

It is not uncommon for women and children to disappear. Some traffickers even rushed to other people's homes to snatch their children.

In the past few years, crimes were rampant in some large railway stations. Several men besieged women, kidnapped them in vans and ran away. They didn't even pay attention to the security of the railway stations.

The reason why this incident is so big is because the missing women live in residential areas.

Bad guys have already dared to commit crimes near residential areas, are they still far from breaking into homes and robbing people?

In particular, in order to attract people from other places to enter the city, many factories in City A have been expanded to create more labor positions. If the situation is not controlled, it may cause immeasurable consequences.

On the way home, Ye Jue saw many patrolling policemen.

There was even a police car parked near the bus platform, and when he got off the platform, he saw Ye Li who had been waiting here early.

It's still early.

Ye Li cared deeply and didn't let him go home alone.

Most of the alleys have been sealed off, and there are cordons everywhere.

Looking at the serious-looking patrolmen in police uniforms, Ye Li lowered his voice and said, "I heard from my colleagues that there were bloodstains at the scene of the crime."

After a pause, Ye Jue asked, "Blood?"

"Well," Ye Li said, "it should be that the little girl resisted before she was arrested, but she didn't expect the trafficker to have a knife in her hand. There was a lot of blood, so it's probably a sign of bad luck."

He sighed, "Why are there so many beasts..."

The disappearance case made a lot of noise.

Early on Monday morning, as soon as Ye Jue entered the classroom, he heard many students discussing this matter.

Even Xue Lingling put down her pen, looking very worried: "My mother asked me to ask for leave and go home for a while."

Zhou Ting sighed: "My mother is too. She thinks we study by ourselves every night and it's too late after school."

Putting down his schoolbag, he pushed aside the snacks in the pocket of the table with ease, Ye Jue heard Xue Lingling's voice: "Ye Jue, I remember if your family lives near there."

"Yes," Ye Jue nodded, "There are police patrolling around our house every day, and you can see one within a few steps."

"That's great," Zhou Ting said with a sigh of relief, "If it's not possible, you and Mr. Jiang can take a leave of absence and go back early in the evening."

Ye Jue laughed, handed the homework to the group leader, and clarified again helplessly: "I am not a child or a woman, and I am not as dangerous as them."

Looking across his face, Zhou Ting paused, "... also."

Despite the ups and downs of the outside world, the atmosphere in the school is as tense as ever.

As soon as class started, Jiang Heping took a stack of papers, knocked on the table and said, "Calm down and take the exams in these two classes seriously. Don't be careless. The college entrance examination is coming soon. This is the most important thing in your life." The turning point of..."

It's the familiar preaching and nagging again.

Two classes passed by in a flash, and today the big class was suspended, and Ye Jue went to the toilet.

In the toilet, there is still cloud and smoke.

Pei Heng stood in the corner, with long and slender fingers hanging down, with well-defined joints, holding a cigarette in his hand, turning it around familiarly, while the little fat man in front of him was laughing and flattering.

"Brother Pei, don't worry," He Wei said tactfully, "We're not into bullying. You know my cousin, He Ziran from your class, who was beaten up by my uncle just yesterday."

"My legs are all broken, I guess I won't be able to come to school for a semester."

"Really?" Pei Heng casually turned the cigarette, "I heard that he doesn't like a person?"

"Hey," He Wei lowered his voice, "It's not his fault."

"Brother Pei, you also know that what my cousin hates most is other people's lies. Isn't there a new transfer student in your class? What's his name... What is Ye Jue, good guy, he was transferred from a small mountain village, and he must be talking about himself From the capital."

"Ziran's violent temper, isn't it unbearable? If you want me to say that these country people are really, what are they doing in the city?"

He Wei was indignant: "Perhaps these recent disappearances are caused by this group of country folks. When they come, there is a mess of smoke everywhere."

Tan Song couldn't listen anymore.

He is a native of City A, and his ancestors have been from aristocratic families for three generations. He couldn't help interrupting He Wei. He said impatiently, "I heard that your parents are also from the country."

He Wei was startled, and said with a stiff smile: "My parents are not, but my grandparents are."

No one spoke for a while.

It seemed that he also found that he was not welcome, He Wei looked awkward, glanced at the two younger brothers behind him, and was about to take people back.

Before he had taken two steps, he was called out indifferently: "Where are you going?"

After a pause, he turned around.

Behind him, the boy who was slowly walking towards him was tall and straight, and a large shadow fell like a dark cloud.

Raising his head cautiously, meeting Pei Heng's dark eyes, He Wei smiled awkwardly: "Brother Pei, let's have a good talk..."

"I've said it before," Pei Heng casually brushed the smoke off his body, looked down at him, the surroundings were peaceful, and there was no voice at all, "Don't get distracted."

He Wei said stubbornly: "Thinking? Brother Pei, I didn't suffer from those bullies, it was all my cousin..."

"So I had his leg broken."

His face was completely blank, He Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he murmured in horror: "H, his legs..."

Pei Heng raised his eyes lazily, "Do you want to too?"

……

He Wei took people away in a panic. He was short and fat, but his running pace was exceptionally nimble.

It is estimated that I will not dare to come to school again in a short time.

Tan Song was amazed, walked up to Pei Heng and patted him on the shoulder: "Why did that He Ziran provoke you?"

"fine."

Reluctant to say more, Pei Heng twirled the cigarette, raised his brows slightly and saw something, paused, crushed the cigarette butt with his backhand, and threw it into the trash can next to him.

Tan Song: "?"

"what are you doing?"

Throwing a cigarette also throws out a sense of urgency.

Glancing at him, Pei Heng straightened his back, looked a little more relaxed, and said, "I'm thinking about the Chinese test paper for the last class."

Tan Song: "???"

Xu Yu was even more speechless: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Pei Heng's tone was calm: "The question is quite simple, what do you think?"

Tan Song: "..."

Xu Yu: "..."

Are you sick?

You obviously didn't move a word!

From the corner of the eye, the boy who was washing his hands quietly glanced at him, his slender and upturned eyes curved into smiles, and his eyes were full of admiration.

Turning sideways inadvertently, Pei Heng raised his head and looked at him.

After a pause, Ye Jue's ears turned red for no reason.

Within two seconds, they left the toilet with one hand and one foot.

The elbow was suddenly touched.

Tan Song looked at him with meaningful eyes, "...what are you laughing at?"

"That's the new transfer student in our class, right? Why, you two see each other right?"

Containing the smile in his eyes, Pei Heng gave him a neutral look and said, "Take care of yourself."

Tan Song: "..."

Really satisfied.

In private, he cleared his eyeliner and broke his leg, protecting him tightly, but now he pretends not to know him.

"By the way," one thing came to mind, temporarily put aside the gossip, and Tan Song said solemnly: "The police station has sent most of the police to guard the Cheng'an community."

"No suspects have been identified for the time being, but you made such a big noise that it seems to have attracted your second brother's attention."

"He is checking the list of residents in Cheng'an Community, and it is estimated that sooner or later..."

"He can't find it."

His words were interrupted with a faint voice, Pei Heng's face remained unchanged, but his eyes turned colder.

"Don't hold back, watch the main roads, alleys, and street intersections near Cheng'an Community, and don't let anyone who behaves suspiciously go away."

"leaf!"

Ye Jue stepped off the platform and saw Father Ye who had been waiting on the platform early.

It was dark.

The nearby street lights flickered on and off, and the classmates who came home from school walked together in all directions.

Ye Jue followed Father Ye and saw many policemen along the way.

"What happened again?"

Knowing what he was worried about, Father Ye comforted: "No, the higher-ups attach great importance to this disappearance case, and are still investigating clues in the alley."

"Any clues?"

Sighing, Father Ye said, "We don't know, we hope to catch him sooner. It's been so noisy that we can't sleep well."

The main road is sparsely populated.

Cheng'an Community is located in a residential area. It was originally an urban village in City A. Later, there were more and more migrant workers. Developers saw business opportunities and began to build rental housing in this area.

It is also for this reason that Cheng'an Community is aimed at migrant workers. Most parents leave their children in their hometowns for their livelihood, and few of them move with their families.

It was the time for high school students to leave school, but Ye Jue only saw a few figures, and they disappeared into the dark and long alley after a while.

There is also a long alley in front of Cheng'an Community.

The lights in the alley are bright, and there are occasional police officers on patrol, giving a sense of security.

This alley is the only way to go home. After seeing the police, even Father Ye's tense body relaxed a little.

"leaf?"

After walking two steps, Ye Jue suddenly slowed down. Father Ye looked at him strangely: "What's the matter?"

Ye Jue's face turned pale, and he turned his head.

The sound of inaudible footsteps seemed to sound very close behind them, and the pace of their walking was more or less fast or slow.

Street lamps cast a pale light.

The alleys are deep and winding.

Several forks in the road are like densely packed eyes, covered with the mysterious veil of several missing cases, making people more disturbed.

His palms were cold, and he said hesitantly, "I feel...someone is behind."

The breeze brushes the sweaty back.

There was a chill.

Father Ye paused, frowned, and carefully looked left and right, "Is it the shadow of a street lamp?"

"It does look like a human figure at first glance, don't be afraid, Dad is by your side."

Ye Jue didn't speak.

He raised his head, and the policemen at the alley were standing upright, their burly figures full of strength.

Unless the prisoner has reached the point of arrogance and madness, it is impossible for him to dare to appear under the nose of the police.

Nodding his head, Ye Jue lowered his eyes: "...it should be."

The incident was skimmed like an episode.

As the weather was getting colder, Father Ye began to pick him up by bicycle.

Another two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

The disappearance case went nowhere.

The suspects locked by the police have been cleared one after another. Without exception, these tall and powerful suspects with criminal records have no time to commit crimes.

The first monthly exam is over, and the exam results are released on Saturday and Sunday.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the first grader this time is Pei Heng.

At the commendation meeting on Monday, the grade director lavished praise on him.Ye Jue was neither tall nor short, but he was standing at the bottom of the line. The boy behind him stood in a loose posture, very close to him, with a nice cold fragrance wafting from his body.

Leng Xiang got into his nose, Ye Jue was inexplicably uncomfortable, and took a step forward calmly.

Pei Heng didn't want to show that they knew each other, so he obediently cooperated with his actions.

So far, no one in the class has discovered the relationship between the two.

Thinking this way, Tan Song suddenly called him.

"Ye Jue."

He turned his head, but before he could respond, Tan Song smiled at him maliciously, "Do you think it's better to get the first grade in your Jingcheng Middle School, or the first grade in our Qingteng No. [-] High School?"

After a pause, Ye Jue glanced at Pei Heng hesitantly.

The boy with half-closed eyes seemed not interested in this topic, and his expression was relaxed. After noticing his gaze, he opened his eyes and looked at him lightly.

...this question is too dead.

Ye Jue didn't want to answer, but Tan Song continued to shout: "Old Pei, why don't you ask our new classmates, learn about the competitors in advance, and prepare for the college entrance examination."

Pei Heng seemed to have listened to his words, looked down at Ye Jue, and asked in a casual voice, "Who is the first grader in the capital?"

Inexplicably itchy ears.

Suppressing this itch, Ye Jue thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Yang Yi."

Tan Song burst into laughter, "Do you remember so clearly?"

Ye Jue: "..."

Faintly feeling that this sentence was wrong, he quickly explained: "Because he is always the first in grade..."

Ye Jue slowly closed his mouth as the painting became darker and darker.

The shattered sunlight shone on his body, and his eyes hurt a little from the shaking, so he squinted.

In the next second, the eyes were covered by shadows again.

Pei Heng turned sideways, half of his face was outlined by the light, becoming clearer and clearer.

He was talking to Tan Song, with one hand in his pocket, with a dull and calm expression.

"...No wonder I remember it, they always take the first grade in the exam," Tan Song laughed, "Interview, old Pei, do you have any ideas?"

Ye Jue stood uneasy, a thin layer of sweat broke out from the tip of his nose, and his lips became redder as the temperature of his body gradually increased.

The breeze blows the cooling air.

He is more comfortable.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Pei Heng write lightly: "It's not that difficult."

"Continue next time."

Ye Jue: "..."

Turning around silently, his body collapsed and became stiff.

My head was in a mess, and I was still a little indescribably confused when I returned to the classroom.

"What's wrong with you?" Xue Lingling asked him strangely.

The next class is English. The English teacher always likes to ask questions before class. Before class, it is the time for students in the class to make up words.

There was a noisy endorsement sound all around.

Ye Jue shook his head amidst the sound of endorsement: "...I'm fine."

Xue Lingling said, "Is it really all right?"

"Your ears are so red."

Subconsciously pinching the earlobe, the fingertips felt the hot temperature.

Ye Jue choked, and said blankly: "...I, I don't know what's going on."

He won't suffer from heatstroke, will he?

After thinking about it seriously, the scene of Pei Heng casually saying "continue next time" in the sunlight flashed before Ye Jue's eyes.

……what.

Why do you say that?

Inexplicably confused, he drew a few circles on the draft paper in annoyance.

One day at school was spent in such a tangled way.

After evening self-study and school, Ye Jue packed her schoolbag and stretched.

The amount of review has been too much recently, Ye Jue can't keep up with the progress, and it's a bit difficult to study.

Fortunately, his outstanding grades in liberal arts barely narrowed the gap with other students.

It was Ye father and Ye mother who were waiting at the bus stop after school today.

The factory worked overtime, and the two met at about the same time, so they simply waited for Ye Jue at the station together.

There were not many policemen near the alley, but their expressions were obviously relaxed.

Mother Ye smiled: "Today's news says that the suspect in the disappearance case has been brought under control. This matter is almost over."

Father Ye: "It's been a month, and if we don't solve the case, all the people will run away."

"How could it run away?" Glaring at him, Mother Ye said, "Everyone still has to make a living."

Knowing that he said something wrong, Father Ye was scolded honestly.

Ye Jue walked beside the two of them and couldn't help smiling.

Before the smile faded away, his face froze.

The body took steps mechanically, and the feeling of staring that made his hair stand on end and chills down his back reappeared.

It's still the way home.

It was still a fast, almost delusion-like gaze.

He finally felt belatedly... the viscous and fanaticism in Liu Xu's eyes was exactly the same as in Liu Xu's eyes four years ago.

"Leaves? Leaves?"

After recovering from the panic, his mind was blank, and there were many phantoms in front of his eyes. Mother Ye was asking him with concern, "Why is your face so ugly? Where is it uncomfortable?"

"……mom."

His throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, cold sweat dripped from Ye Jue's forehead, and he said slowly, "I feel that someone is behind."

Mothers are born with more sensitive nerves than fathers.

Connected with the child, she immediately heard panic and fear from Ye Jue's hesitant tone.

Immediately shielding him behind him, Ye Mu's expression was condensed, she turned on the flashlight and shone brightly on several intersecting alleys around her, like the alleys with countless pairs of eyes, there was nowhere to hide under the strong light.

Mother Ye is not tall, but she is very courageous. She picked up a broken brick from the corner of the wall, and walked into the alley angrily, "Who!"

"—Who's there!"

She is very imposing, years of hard work has made her not as weak as she seems on the surface, and after carefully checking the alleys one by one, Mother Ye threw away the bricks with a cold face.

There was a "click" when the brick was moved, and it was broken into countless pieces.

She walked out of the alley, took out a tissue and wiped Ye Jue's forehead, and said, "Mom has seen it, no one is there."

The feeling of being watched has not faded.

Compared with just now, there is no restraint.

Ye Jue's face was pale, and seeing the affirmation and worry in Ye Mu's eyes, he clenched his fists and swallowed, "...Maybe I felt wrong."

"Mom, let's go."

Father Ye walked on the other side of him thoughtfully, "It may be the shadow of a street lamp, don't be afraid, Mom and Dad are here."

There are two policemen at the entrance of the alley.

After seeing them, he casually looked back and chatted.

"We've been caught, shouldn't we go back too?"

"Who knows, the higher-ups mean to stay for another two days."

……

When I got home, the dim light in the living room was like a warm fire.

All the chills subsided.

Father Ye and mother Ye chatted and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for tomorrow morning.

During the conversation, she talked about Ye Li who was far away in the field. Compared with being cautious when treating him, Ye's mother's tone was mostly complaining: "...I have a cold, and I said that I should wear more clothes when the weather changes. His child, very Resist hard."

Father Ye worried: "I'll go to Xiaowan's school tomorrow, she didn't bring autumn clothes, what should I do if she's freezing?"

"Alright, I'll be with you when I get off work early tomorrow."

"Come pick up the leaves after delivering the clothes," Mother Ye said in a lower voice, "Will it be too late?"

"No, let's hurry up."

That night, Ye Jue had another dream.

In the dream, he was hiding in the closet, his heart was beating like a drum, and he was about to jump out of his throat.

The man in front of the closet wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was gentle and polite, and he walked in the empty room with a soft voice, as if coaxing a disobedient child, "...Ye Jue?"

"Ye Jue? Don't hide, I'm here to find you."

Step by step, he approached the wardrobe where he was hiding.

There is no clothes in the closet, only a gap printed with moonlight, showing faint light.

Ye Jue saw "myself" curled up in a corner, her pupils widened in horror, unable to speak.

last of the last.

The footsteps stopped abruptly in front of the wardrobe.

Outside the gap, thick bloodstains spread on the concrete floor.

A sharp fruit knife was soaked in a pool of blood, and the handle of the knife was tightly held by a large pale and slender hand. The blood slid down the fingertips and fell into the darkness without a sound.

……

"call--"

Waking up suddenly from the dream, Ye Jue was covered in cold sweat.

His mind gradually calmed down from the panic, he panted heavily, and kept his voice low, afraid of waking up Ye's father and Ye's mother next door.

Heartbeat is still rapid.

After a long silence, Ye Jue took the water glass on the bedside table with trembling hands, drank a glass of cold water, and calmed down a little.

...Is it Liu Xu?

Closing his eyes, he fell into self-doubt.

Four years ago, he was only concerned about fear and sadness that night, and completely forgot about Liu Xu's existence. It wasn't until Ji Heng drove away that he remembered Liu Xu's body that had fallen in his home.

When I hurried home to check, the whole house had been tidied up and looked brand new.

The cement floor is clean and tidy, and the bedding on the bed has also been replaced with new ones.

There was no sign of a fight in the house at all.

Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye have passed away, Father Ye and Mother Ye don't know the original appearance of the house, all this is hidden in a tacit silence, like a breeze blowing, disappearing silently.

Looking back now, apart from being afraid, Ye Jue was more confused.

Today it is today.

He still didn't understand why Liu Xu sneaked into Ye's house that night.

I also don't understand why Ji Heng would kill Liu Xu.

He didn't stay in the small mountain village for too long. As soon as Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye passed their heads, he was brought to the capital by Ye Father and Ye Mu.

He had no way of knowing what happened afterwards, but now, he had an ominous guess.

...Could it be that Liu Xu is not dead?

This guess made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave and felt chills all over his body.

Unknowingly, he grabbed the PHS on the bedside, and subconsciously clicked on the number that seemed to never reply.

With a pale face, Ye Jue typed out a few words anxiously.

"elder brother."

"...I feel that someone is following me."
