Morning Glory

"So you two are here! Haha, they also discussed that if you don't show up on Monday, they will call the police!"

Lei Zheng curled his lips, "I only called the police on Monday, two days! If something happened, I would have died a long time ago! I'm not sincere."

"Isn't that because I didn't go? If I did, I would follow you down."

"Fortunately you didn't go, hahahaha!" Lei Zheng laughed.

"Oh, I'm so angry that my liver hurts!" Fatty Zhang pretended to hold his stomach.

"Inverted."

"What? What's wrong."

"The covering is reversed, the liver is on the other side! Hahahaha!"

"Cut!" Fatty Zhang rolled his eyes at him, took a sip of tea and calmed down, "There were fewer people here then, right?"

"Well, there are very few people, and there is no such tea house, so quiet."

Fatty Zhang suddenly leaned over half of his body and lowered his voice, "Hey, have you ever seen him make a move?"

Lei Zheng was silent for a long time, Fatty Zhang thought he would not answer, but just when he was about to change the subject, he heard Lei Zheng answer slowly: "Yes, it's scary."

After the college entrance examination, he finally got the admission letter. Lei Zheng and Zhao Hui were finally admitted to the same university and the same major as he wished. He was so excited that he called his friends and had a good night's sleep, and they separated in the early morning of the next day. It's over, Lei Zheng and Zhao Hui waved goodbye in the first ray of morning light.

Then, Zhao Hui disappeared...

Lei Zheng slept late the next day, called Zhao Hui, and the phone was answered, but the other party was silent, "Hello! Hello! Hey!" After calling for a long time, the other party did not respond, and then Lei Zheng Zheng was taken to dinner by his father, but he didn't take it seriously.

But after calling again, for a few days, Zhao Hui's phone calls always had this response. Lei Zheng was full of doubts, and this situation had never happened before, but he knew that Zhao Hui's situation was special, so he didn't dare to go rashly.

Finally couldn't bear it anymore, while his parents were out, he took a taxi and went straight to Zhao Hui's house. Everything looked the same as usual, but he didn't know the person who opened the door after the doorbell rang. Lei Zheng came to Zhao Hui's house quite often. Everyone in their family knew Lei Zheng from top to bottom, and Lei Zheng was half familiar with them.

The other party's attitude was arrogant, "Who are you looking for?"

Lei Zheng pretended to be cheerful, "I'm looking for toothpaste! It's an appointment!"

"Toothpaste?" The other party frowned first, and then answered fiercely: "I found the wrong one!" Then closed the door with a "slap".

Lei Zheng boldly went to ring the doorbell again, and when the other party opened the door impatiently, he arrived first, "I'm sorry, I'm looking for Zhu Yan, I'm used to being called by nicknames, I'm sorry!"

It was the same person just now, "They all said they found the wrong one, get out!" He was about to close the door after speaking.

"How come, I made an appointment with him, it's No. 12 in the West District, that's right!" Lei Zheng stretched out his hand to push the door to prevent him from closing it.

"You're blind," the opponent pushed hard, and Lei Zheng took advantage of the momentum to stagger back a few steps, retreating to a safe distance, "This is the Eastern District, idiot!"

"You're an idiot, didn't you just go to the wrong door, what the hell!" Lei Zheng raised his voice, deliberately making some noise.

"Believe it or not!" the man said, stepping out the door.

When Lei Zheng was thinking about whether to act or pretend to be a grandson, the man was dragged back by a hand inside the door. The person inside said something that he couldn't hear clearly, but the man withdrew his foot, but still stuck out his head bitterly. Said: "Knock on the door again and chop you up!"

Lei Zheng turned his face and walked towards the west area, while walking, he used his peripheral vision to see if anyone was following.

Something must have happened to Zhao Hui—he thought, even if Zhao Hui wasn't at home when he made such a commotion, then other people in his family who knew him should know about it. Perhaps, Zhao Hui's home had already been occupied by others.

Unknowingly, he broke out in a cold sweat, took a taxi home, his mind was in a mess, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

At night, he calmed down a little. He felt that Zhao Hui should be found first, but... If Zhao Hui didn't even contact himself, it was even more impossible to contact anyone they knew together.

Before he could figure out why, the doorbell of his house rang. Lei Zheng jumped up from the bed and rushed downstairs. As soon as he opened the door, a bright dagger was pressed against his throat, and the visitor shouted in a deep voice. , "Go in."

Lei Zheng took a few steps back into the room slowly. The sight frightened his parents who had just come out of the bedroom and stood on the spot. After all, Lei Zheng's father was a soldier, so he was very calm, and he held his wife's hand for a while. To comfort, but not to speak.

Two people came in, one of them made a signal to the other, and that person went into Lei Zheng's house to search for things, he only searched the space where people could hide, obviously looking for someone, and opened every window to look. He looked under the window, then came back and shook his head at the knife-wielding man. The knife-wielding man nodded, withdrew the knife and left, and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Lei Zheng came to his senses and was about to chase him out, but his father grabbed him and threw him into the sofa, then gently embraced his wife's shoulders and helped her sit down.

"What's going on? Tell me."

"I guess...maybe they came to find Zhao Hui."

Lei Zheng told his father about Zhao Hui's disappearance, but he didn't say that he went to his house to look for it.

Lei Zheng's father was silent for a while, "I hope you can understand one thing. Zhao Hui didn't contact you because he didn't want to hurt you, so you stay at home and don't do anything. He's causing trouble."

Lei Zheng gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time, then nodded.

Seeing his son's reaction, Lei Zheng's father turned his head and said to his mother, "Go and call your daughter and ask if you can go through the formalities for studying abroad as soon as possible. It doesn't matter whether you need to train the language first or you can enter the school. In short, get this kid out. , as soon as possible." As soon as the words fell, his mother nodded vigorously, and went out in a little panic.

Lei Zheng looked up at his father in surprise, and his father met his gaze, "There is no room for negotiation. You just stay at home and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"I want to find him."

His father still thought about it for a while, "He has a special status, and he is not the same as you. From what you said, it sounds like something happened to his family, but it is a road dispute. Even the police can solve this kind of thing." No, what can you do? Why are you looking for him? Work hard with him?"

Lei Zheng remained silent.

"If you can help, or if he needs your help, he will come to you or find a way to notify you, but he doesn't, so... obviously, you are useless." He emphasized again, "You understand Is it?"

Lei Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, he knew what his father said was reasonable, and it was impossible to persuade his father to let him go out to find Zhao Hui under such circumstances, not to mention he didn't know where to look for it.

Lei Zheng went upstairs obediently, without sleep all night.

The next day, Lei Zheng's father watched newspapers, magazines and TV all day at home, he didn't go out even a step, and he didn't let Lei Zheng call.

On the third day, Lei Zheng's mother also stayed at home all day.

During this period, Lei Zheng absent-mindedly filled in various forms that he didn't know what they were under his sister's remote command.

On the fourth day, his father accompanied him to a study abroad service agency. It took him a long time to take pictures and fill out the form. Then his father took him out for a meal. The father and son didn't mention anything about Zhao Hui.

On the fifth day, his mother stayed at home for another day, but his mother agreed that he called Fatty Zhang, asked Fatty Zhang to come to play and had dinner before leaving.

At night, Lei Zheng stared at the ceiling. He has been very calm for the past few days. He has already remembered a place from his mind that has become muddy, the house not far from his home, the house that Zhao Hui once lied to He is his own house.The two of them hadn't been to that house since that time, because Zhao Hui had to go home every day, so Lei Zheng almost forgot about it.The day before yesterday, he suddenly remembered this place. He couldn't even remember where the spare key Zhao Hui gave him was, and it took him a long time to find it.

He listened to his parents falling asleep, quietly got up from the bed, took out the rope that Fatty Zhang secretly brought him, and sneaked out of the window. As soon as his feet fell to the ground, he ran desperately. He was right, he knew he was useless, but if he wanted to see Zhao Hui, he had to, even though he might not be there.

When he ran to the door, Lei Zheng gasped for breath while holding his knees, and opened the courtyard door with the key. It was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, it felt similar to the last time he came.After passing through the small courtyard, Lei Zheng continued to unlock the door, his hands shaking a little, not sure if he was too tired from running or nervous.

The door had only opened a ten-centimeter-wide gap when he felt a hand grab his shoulder. Before he could react, his entire arm was twisted behind him at an extreme angle. Lei Zheng was in so much pain that he didn't dare to cry out. He only said a word while gasping, "I am Lei Zheng."

The strength on the arm was instantly relieved, and there was a tired panting sound from behind, a face was pressed against the back of his neck with abnormal heat, and a voice that had been thinking about him for several days said softly, "Lei Zheng...it's you..."

Lei Zheng turned around, and Zhao Hui leaned into his arms weakly.

"What’s wrong with you!"

Zhao Hui didn't speak.

Lei Zheng embraced him, "Do you have a fever?"

Zhao Hui nodded, "Probably the wound is inflamed, and I have never dared to go out."

"Did something happen?"

Zhao Hui ignored his question, "You shouldn't have come." Then he straightened his body, "Let's go."

"Can't I help you?" Zhao Hui couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness, only a pair of eyes were still bright.

"Can't help."

"Tell me what's going on."

Zhao Hui thought for a while, and then said briefly, "My dad had an accident, and the fights broke out between the organization and within the organization at the same time. I don't know what the outcome is now. We were outside together that day, and when I came home, some brothers died. Give me a warning, I was able to run in time, hid for a few days, changed a few places, and now I am here, that's all."

Just as Lei Zheng was about to ask again, Zhao Hui stretched out his hand to gently cover his lips, "Don't ask, you don't need to know, and I don't want to say more." Then he withdrew his hand.

"Then... what are you going to do now?"

"I'm waiting, waiting for the result... It's best to live until there is a result."

"You change places to hide like this, can your family find you?"

"Naturally we have our way and they will definitely find me."

"Is it someone you can trust?"

Zhao Hui's eyes dimmed, and he walked slowly to the corner and sat down, "Let's bet."

Lei Zheng didn't know what to say, sat down next to him, and seemed to remember something after a while, "Are you seriously injured?"

"Can't die."

"I'll get you some medicine." Lei Zheng stood up.

"Okay, you can go." Zhao Hui responded casually.

Lei Zheng sat down.

"Why didn't you go?" Zhao Hui's voice seemed to reveal a slight smile.

"I know you too well. If I leave, you will definitely leave too. Anyway, you are not afraid of death, and if you are willing to stand up like this, then go ahead."

Zhao Hui really smiled slightly, and leaned his head on Lei Zheng's shoulder.

Lei Zheng straightened up a little, making his shoulders a little higher, so that he could lean on it comfortably.

The moon peeked out from the clouds, casting a piece of silvery moonlight, reflecting Zhao Hui's face, which was pale but calm.Lei Zheng's heart was in a mess, and he didn't know what he could do to help him at the moment, so he just looked at him quietly.

Suddenly Zhao Hui opened his eyes, made a silent expression to Lei Zheng, and then motioned him to hide in the shadows, but he took a few deep breaths and slowly stood up with some difficulty, standing in the middle of the room, with his back facing Lei Zheng, any bright silver moonlight shone on him, completely exposed to the moonlight, his frail body was restrained, as if he was a different person, motionless.

Sure enough, the door opened, and two people came in. It seemed that they were surprised to see Zhao Hui standing so conspicuously in the moonlight, but Zhao Hui said coolly, "The chase is fast."

Before he finished speaking, his man had already stepped forward in front of the visitor, raised his elbow sideways to support one of the opponent's punches, and at the same time turned sideways to let the other person's attack pass, a thin silver light flashed, and one person fell to the ground He twisted in pain, so fast that even Lei Zheng, who had been staring at him, didn't understand, it seemed that when his body moved, something familiar fell from nowhere, and was holding it in his hand.

After a few punches and kicks, Zhao Hui separated from the other person. The other person was obviously stronger than Zhao Hui. Zhao Hui seemed to be taking the opportunity to catch his breath. The sound of iron intersecting made the two stand apart again, the man grinned, "It's a good skill, it's a pity." Then he continued to attack.

At this time, Lei Zheng touched a wooden stick casually, no matter what it was, secretly held it in his hand, held his breath, and did not move, completely hiding himself in the darkness.Finally, when the two of them were fighting and getting closer to him, and the opponent turned his back to him, Lei Zheng swung the stick with all his strength, and dropped it on the opponent's head with a "hoo".

Just as the opponent tilted his head to dodge when he heard the wind, Zhao Hui changed his move very quickly, and the sharp blade in his hand had already sealed the position!The other party reacted very quickly, and grabbed Zhao Hui's wrist back and pulled a little distance away, so that he had a space to deviate, and used his shoulders and necks to carry Lei Zheng's stick!Lei Zheng was about to attack again, so he withdrew the stick less than a foot away, but saw that the opponent's knife had already reached his eyes, and he couldn't avoid it!

Lei Zheng was startled, but when he heard a "ding", Zhao Hui held the opponent's knife with his knife, and the light of the knife flashed Lei Zheng's eyes, and Lei Zheng swept across the opponent's waist, hitting firmly, Then Zhao Hui said in a low voice: "Stop."

The three of them stopped still as if the pause button had been pressed. Lei Zheng raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Hui had already changed his other hand to hold the knife, pressing it against the opponent's throat, and a stream of blood slowly flowed from the edge of the knife.Everything happened so fast that Lei Zheng didn't even see how Zhao Hui made the move.

Zhao Hui said: "I don't want to kill you, I understand that you can't help yourself, can't we just leave each other alone?"

The other party hesitated for a moment, glanced at the accomplice who fell on the ground and passed out, and nodded.

Zhao Hui said in a low voice, "Sorry!" While withdrawing the knife, he cut the back of his neck with the other end, and the man fell limp to the ground and passed out.

Zhao Hui shook himself, and Lei Zheng stretched out his hand to support him, "Are you hurt?"

Zhao Hui shook his head, "It's okay, it's dislocated." As he spoke, he supported the other arm, gritted his teeth, and lifted it back to its original position.

Lei Zheng seemed to hear a "click" in his bones, and his whole body tensed up.

Zhao Hui took a few breaths, "We can't stay here anymore, we have to leave quickly, if these two people don't go back, someone will definitely find them later." Then he went to the person who had fainted before, looked around, and then tore his clothes with his hands , It seems that the hands are weak, and I tore it a few times without tearing it.

Lei Zheng went up and "swish, swish, swish" and tore the man's clothes to pieces, then reached out to untie his pants, Zhao Hui stopped him, "What are you doing?"

"Aren't you going to tear off their clothes so they can't chase them out for a while?"

Zhao Hui looked at him like an idiot for a few seconds, then picked out a cloth strip, "I just want to stop his bleeding."

"what?"

Zhao Hui sighed, "They all worked hard, and they have no grudge against me."

Lei Zheng took the cloth strip in Zhao Hui's hand, followed his instructions, tied it up for that person, and then the two left.
