summer kill

Friday, April 10.

"I know you killed someone in Xia Tian."

This is the first card Zeng Lianxi received.

The paper was whitish, and the black letters were glaring.A red seal is embroidered in the lower left corner, which at first glance looks like a drop of blood has been splashed on it.

mischief?Or... a threat?

There were classmates talking around, but Zeng Lianxi couldn't hear them. He only felt a siren coming from a distance, short and urgent.

Getting closer, getting closer, we're almost at the door...

His nerves are getting tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, a classmate shouted: "Gao Hui."

Zeng Lianxi came back to his senses.

He's in the classroom, no sirens.

It has been more than a month since he transferred to Nancheng Ninth Middle School.The school he attended before made him restless because of the noise.It was also noisy here, but no one noticed him except handing in homework and distributing test papers.

He lived the life of an invisible man, very quietly.You can finish high school in peace.

Near noon, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

The content of the textbook was not finished for a while, and the English teacher stretched out five fingers: "Just five more minutes."

This is the teacher's classic gesture, and his nickname among his classmates is "Fiveminutes".

After he finished speaking, there was a sigh in the classroom, and the students became impatient.

Zeng Lianxi was distracted in class, sweating sticky all over his body.It was cold, sticking to his back, and his hair was cold.One morning, he sank into the past summer.

The cicadas chirped endlessly, the dragonflies were listless, and people dried up under the scorching sun.

He rubbed his sweaty palms and looked down for a tissue.Saw something out of the corner of the eye and turned around to look.

Gao Hui was lying on his body like a cat, and was about to slip out.He smiled at Zeng Lianxi, his peach blossom eyes were clear and clear.He wants to skip class, but he is not guilty.

At this time, the English teacher read the paragraph and raised his head.

Inexplicably, Zeng Lianxi moved to the left to block the people behind him.

"Therebe sentence pattern, sentences starting with here, the predicate verb is consistent with the subject." The English teacher turned to write on the blackboard.

Zeng Lianxi breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head again.

Gao Hui has disappeared.

"Fiveminutes" spoke for more than 5 minutes.When he closed the textbook and announced that get out of class was over, the students rushed to the dining hall.

Zeng Lianxi didn't run away, but watched the crowd pass by him, and watched Gao Hui walking towards him.

"Gao Hui." Su Qian jumped out, he took two steps at a time, and grabbed Gao Hui's shoulders, "I didn't grab the cake again."

"I reminded you earlier, 'Fiveminutes' is not in vain, there is no reason for him not to delay the class." Gao Hui had a cake in his mouth and a can of drink in his hand.Her exaggeratedly permed hair was golden in the midday sun.

Turns out he sneaked out to grab a lunch cake.

At the end of the day, apart from a white card, Zeng Lianxi did not receive any other information.

Nobody said, "I know you."

No one made fun of him.

He eats alone, attends classes, and does not communicate with his classmates.

After school, Zeng Lianxi walked out of the classroom.

Gao Hui was talking on the phone in the corridor.

Zeng Lianxi didn't eavesdrop on purpose.

But Gao Hui acted like no one was around: "Uncle, I'll go to your house for dinner tonight."

"Huh? He's coming?" He changed his tone and became slow. "It's nothing to be happy or unhappy. See you tonight."

When the communication was cut off, he faced the dusk sky and said to himself, "Not only am I unhappy, but I'm also so angry that I want to beat someone up."

He took out a string of beads from the side pocket of his schoolbag and wrapped it around his right wrist twice.

Then, suddenly look back.

Since the beginning of school, Zeng Lianxi and Gao Hui have spoken three sentences.There is no self-introduction in these three sentences, maybe Gao Hui doesn't know his last name.

Gao Hui did not call out his name, but only said, "Thank you at noon."

Half of the way home is taken up by shared bicycles.People can only go outside.

A few people approached.

The leader is not tall, with a sky-high hairstyle and a whole bottle of hairspray, barely adding five centimeters to his height.He wore a sleeveless flowered vest, revealing the tattoo on the outside of his arm - the tiger descends the mountain.The tattoos are fierce and give him an old-fashioned quack flavor.

He was talking to a skinny monkey-like person next to him, and the volume was very loud, as if he was afraid that others could not hear him.

"Brother Mouse, you're so handsome." The thin monkey didn't look like he was in junior high school, but he was very experienced in telling nonsense with his eyes open.

Rat, few people use this animal as another name for themselves. After all, words related to "rat" are derogatory.

But after hearing the flattery, this man turned his splayed feet further apart, and walked in a domineering manner.

Zeng Lianxi went around to the street tree.

That "Mice Brother" suddenly took aim at him: "Huh? You..."

Zeng Lianxi is not the same as before.She wore long bangs to cover her forehead and eyebrows.He lowered his head, not wanting to bump into them.

Seeing that they were about to pass by each other, Zeng Lianxi heard the other party call out his name: "Are you Zeng Lianxi?"

He pretended not to hear and continued on.

Suddenly, a person was stopped in front of him.

The thin monkey leaned on the tree trunk with one hand.His arms were thin and flat, not much bigger than a twig on a tree.

Then, "Brother Mouse" came up.

From a close distance, Zeng Lianxi could clearly see his tattoo, which was covered with black and blue lines from his shoulders to his arms.Ridiculously, the tiger's fangs were squeezed by his fat.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Nancheng, I could still see my former classmates.

"Brother Mouse", his real name is Wang Haoyuan.Tian grew a round face.When he was in junior high school, he encountered bullying on campus. Later, he found a classmate who was weaker than him as a punching bag. After tasting the sweetness of bullying, he gradually established his own small group and called himself the boss.In the past two years, he lost flesh, but his face is still round. If the tattoo on his arm is covered, his round face will not have the slightest momentum.

"Don't come here without any problems." Wang Haoyuan let out a piercing laugh, very like a duck's voice.

Zeng Lianxi was silent.If you can't reason with this group of people, just don't talk about it.

Wang Haoyuan: "So you left Anhua County."

Anhua County is the hometown of Zeng Lianxi, and for urbanites, it may be beautiful.But it is also the stronghold of Wang Haoyuan and others, and the atmosphere is corrupt.

At this time, another short and fat man came over, and several people surrounded Zeng Lianxi.

"Aren't you happy to meet old classmates? By the way, I remembered that your previous nickname was 'Little Dumb'." Wang Haoyuan wrinkled his face, closed his mouth, and let out a choked up sob.

Several of them laughed.

The thin monkey laughed the most exaggeratedly, hugged his belly, and said flatteringly, "Brother Mouse, your acting skills are really good."

"Little mute, ah, ah, ah." Wang Haoyuan deliberately stimulated Zeng Lianxi.

"Ah, ah, ah." The thin monkey stopped laughing and bumped towards him with his shoulder.

Zeng Lianxi was knocked to the left.

The chunky mound pushed with his chest.

Zeng Lianxi went to the right again.

Wang Haoyuan probed to look, but didn't see Zeng Lianxi's grievance and depression as he imagined.

Zeng Lianxi kept a straight face, thinking that these bastards were a joke.

Wang Haoyuan grabbed Zeng Lianxi's hair violently, with such strength, he wished he could scalp him.Wang Haoyuan's height was not higher than Zeng Lianxi's, so he could only look up, and said viciously, "I hate you the most worthless son of a bitch."

No matter how he pulls, Zeng Lianxi remains expressionless.

Wang Haoyuan winked at the others: "Send him back to us to rest."

The thin monkey and the short and fat man were on one side, and held Zeng Lianxi's left and right arms.

It was school time, and classmates in twos and threes walked together.Wang Haoyuan and his group are very courageous, and they want to kidnap people in front of their classmates.

Suddenly, there was a whistle, frivolous and teasing.

Zeng Lianxi recognized the voice and couldn't help turning her head.

It really was Gao Hui.He never carried his schoolbag properly, and always leaned left and right.He has several colorful schoolbags to match his shoes.Today he used the backpack as a shoulder, and the other shoulder strap was hanging down, dangling.

Gao Hui was also wearing the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School.Wang Haoyuan sneered: "Student, don't meddle in your own business." He showed off his tattoos by the way.

Gao Hui didn't listen to him.Instead, he stepped forward.

"Boy, I remember you." In fact, it is not easy for Wang Haoyuan to forget.

Gao Hui's eyebrows and eyes are relatively narrow, and the tails of his eyes are slanted upwards, giving him a highly recognizable face.Moreover, his hair is more fried, as eye-catching as a lion.

"I'm going to call the police." Gao Hui raised his phone.

"Report, 1, 1, 0!" Wang Haoyuan's small eyes, no matter how wide they are, are as thin as cracks, "Just call me these three numbers, and I will guard them."

Listen to this reassuring tone, and then look at Wang Haoyuan's big face.Gao Hui had some guesses, and he pressed the button: "Okay, I'll call the police right away."

The thin monkey and the short and fat man hesitated a little, their hands around Zeng Lianxi loosened unconsciously.

If the police were called... Zeng Lianxi didn't have time to think about it.

Gao Hui rushed up suddenly, grabbed his hand, pulled him up and ran away.If time permits, Gao Hui still wants to make a face at Wang Haoyuan.

The few people who stayed in place were stunned for a while.

The thin monkey and the chunky pier looked at each other.One said: "You let him run away?"

The other replied: "You put it first."

Wang Haoyuan took the lead in chasing after him: "Stinky boy!"

Not to mention Wang Haoyuan, even Zeng Lianxi, who was dragged away, didn't react for a while.After running for a while, he heard Wang Haoyuan's roar getting closer, so he grabbed Gao Hui's hand and went straight to the crowded shopping mall.

Gao Hui didn't expect that Zeng Lianxi turned against the guest. He was dragged three times and stumbled two steps, feeling like he was playing with two people and three legs.After finally reaching the door, he said, "Stop, stop, stop."

Zeng Lianxi slowed down.

Gao Hui gasped: "You are the reincarnation of a leopard? You run so fast."

Obviously he ran first.Zeng Lianxi stopped his feet and let go of his hands.Gao Hui's hands were not warm, but Zeng Lianxi felt that the wrist that was pulled just now was burning hot.

Gao Hui looked around, but Wang Haoyuan was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.He asked, "You know those little rascals?"

"I don't know." Zeng Lianxi answered quickly.

Gao Hui glanced over, as if he didn't believe it. "If you want to call the police, you go alone."

"never mind."

"Why didn't you go? If I hadn't stopped you just now, you might have been dragged into a deserted alley and beaten by them." Gao Hui put his schoolbag back on his back.

Zeng Lianxi shook his head.

Gao Hui looked at him: "We don't have to run, but if there is a fight, there will be people coming and going on that section of the road, and the police will definitely show up. At that time, the parents will be called. If the parents are involved, there will be more troubles. I will not get involved. .You go to the police alone."

"I don't want to call the parents." Especially when it's about the police.As Gao Hui said, if parents are involved, there will be more troubles.

"Then we can only hide." Gao Hui looked up to see Wang Haoyuan who was chasing him, "Is that full of people?"

"No." In the next second, Zeng Lianxi knew that he had said something wrong.Since he didn't know the other party, how could he know the other party's age.

"Oh." Gao Hui didn't ask carefully, he looked up at the advertisement in the mall.

In the lower left corner stands a light box of a haunted house.

Gao Hui smiled mischievously, and hooked his fingers: "Come on."
