Think childish

One month later, in an underground gambling house in City A.

"Brother Hai, I really don't know where those girls are! Really! I'll be ashamed to lie to you!" The man in the black mandarin jacket made a gesture to swear, Luo Hai raised his hand to hold him down, and smiled, "The sixth son , I know who you are, we are the only ones in this room, let's not talk about such trivial things as thunder and rain, okay? Let people hear the joke."

The sixth child made an embarrassing smile, and wanted to put it another way, Luo Hai said again: "I know that you owe Zhang Peng your life, and I owe him your life too."

Lao Liu's expression tightened, and he blocked all the speeches he had prepared.

Luo Hai: "Let me tell you this, Zhang Peng broke into me this time, I can't spare him, but I won't touch the orphans and widows in his family. Of course, the premise is that he has to take the initiative Come up to me."

The sixth child looked puzzled: "Brother Hai, I have told you everything I know. Really, Zhang Peng is really in Hong Kong. If you don't believe me, you can send someone—"

"Of course I know what you said is true." Luo Hai interrupted him, "I also know, you just wait for me to come to ask his whereabouts, right?"

The sixth child laughed awkwardly: "What are you talking about? You misunderstood me! Misunderstood! I, I, didn't you force me to help you find someone... This..."

Luo Hai licked half a circle of teeth, nodded and said: "I have to accompany you to finish this play!"

"Brother Hai..." Lao Liu had a bitter face and couldn't answer.

Luo Hai smiled and looked at him: "How about this, old six, let's make a deal, you send that girl to me, Guanzhong line, I will give it to you for nothing, how about it?"

The sixth child's breathing was slightly stagnant, and his pupils widened.

"Zhang Peng wanted to send that girl out of the country by a secret way, and he used himself as a bait in Hong Kong to lure me into the bait. This is really..." He put his hands on his face, raised his head and chuckled, "I really think I'm stupid ?”

Outside the house, the gamblers were making loud noises; inside the house, two people had their own ghosts, playing games carefully.

Luo Hai approached him: "Think about it, even without you, I would still be able to find those girls, but it just takes a little time. There are quite a few people who are interested in this line. I will give this kind of favor to anyone." deliver."

The man's light "send" fell in Lao Liu's ears like a thunderbolt, he raised his head abruptly, and looked at Luo Hai with tangled and cold eyes.

Luo Hai patted him on the shoulder, got up and said slowly: "I'll give you a few days to think about it, and when you think it over, send someone over to me." Said, because he was stabbed for me back then, I will give him a chance to explain, but I am in a hurry, so I can't wait for him for too long."

***

Luo Haiyan would give him a few days to think about it, but the next morning, Lao Liu came to invite him in person.

The sixth child: "Brother Hai, it's inconvenient for me to bring someone here, maybe I have to trouble you to come with me."

Luo Hai wasn't worried about the sixth perineum, but he had an inexplicable premonition that this matter might be different from what he expected.He came out to venture out in his teens, and escaped from death many times based on his intuition. Only this time, he didn't want to follow this intuition instinctively.

"Brother Hai?" Seeing that he was distracted, the sixth child called him, thinking that he didn't believe him, and explained patiently, "Brother Hai, I really didn't play tricks on this matter, you will find out when you come with me. "

Luo Hai: "Let's go."

Half an hour later, Lao Liu took him to the hospital.

The sixth child: "Brother Hai, this is the place."

Luo Hai glanced at him, walked two steps towards the ward, looked in through the small glass window on the door, and sure enough saw the person he was looking for, but...

"What's going on here?" Luo Hai frowned and asked.

Lao Liu asked him to take a step aside to talk.

"Blood cancer."

After the two walked to the corner of the aisle, the sixth child said, "I've been sick for more than three years, and I've been to all major hospitals across the country. I gave my baby a bone marrow transplant a year ago, and I thought it was time to get better now. In the end, it relapsed again. When Lao Zhang handed over the person to me, the child’s eyes could not see clearly, and he said that the rejection cornea fell off or something. I don’t understand these things.”

Luo Hai rubbed his fingers, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this disease expensive?"

"Hey! That's not right!" Lao Liu said in a low voice, "Lao Zhang used to have some family money, but since the baby got this disease, he paid it all, and owed a lot of debts, and I paid him a lot. "

Luo Hai glanced at him and said nothing.

Lao Liu was silent, and suddenly he slapped himself. There was a clear and muffled sound echoed in the silent corridor. He struck hard and slapped the corner of his mouth.

The sixth child stared blankly at the ground with red eyes and said, "I'm going to burn the pot if I die today, but Brother Hai, I also have to eat, and I still have a family to support, I—"

"Okay." Luo Hai interrupted him in disgust, "Man dies for money and birds for food, if you really feel bad about it and want to swear to God to apologize with death, then it's not for me, just save yourself."

Lao Liu panicked with embarrassment, and nervously licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Then Brother Hai, what you said before..."

Luo Hai took out a note from his pocket and gave it to him: "Call the man surnamed Li and ask him to come over. By the way, Zhang Peng's side..."

The sixth child: "He's on the way. I sent my brother to pick him up. The police in City G are keeping a close eye on him. The road is a bit rough. Just wait patiently."

Luo Hai nodded: "When he arrives, I will naturally fulfill what I promised you. Now—" He turned his head and glanced at the ward, "Go and invite my sister-in-law out, I want to talk to her."

***

As the old saying goes, in November, the face of the little girl changes as soon as it changes.

In a place that has not seen snow for more than ten years, the whole city turned gray overnight on the third day after the "heavy snow" this year.

However, as soon as the sun came out in the morning, the thin snow on the ground could not withstand the sun and completely melted. There was muddy water dripping everywhere on the street, and if you walked carelessly, it would splash all over your trousers.

Looking at the sun at first, the citizens felt that the snow would not fall, but in the afternoon, the snow gradually increased, and the sun gradually set in the west. In just a short time, the whole city was covered in heavy snow. Everywhere is snow.

In the backyard of Xuehai Bookstore, Guo Qingshan was biting a persimmon, while shaking his head and reciting a poem to the scene in front of him: "Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and ten thousand paths of people disappear. Lonely boat and hat, alone fishing for snow in the cold river... Why!"

Guo Qingshan touched his ear, dissatisfied: "Sister, why are you pulling my ear?"

Qiao Zhi leaned on the door frame with her arms folded and looked at him, and said with a smile, "Eating a persimmon gave you poetry? Why, did you pass the language this time?"

"Tch!" Guo Qingshan stood up and patted his butt angrily, "Stop looking down on me! I plan to get a perfect score in the exam this time!"

"Blow, keep blowing!" Qiao Zhi turned his head and looked into the room, "Qiu Shui, how much did he score in the Chinese test last time?"

Zhuang Qiushui was buried behind the counter and was seriously reviewing. Hearing this, he raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He ignored Guo Qingshan's rapid blinking and said honestly, "39 points."

Guo Qingshan sighed bitterly.

Qiao Zhi "tsk tsk" twice, and raised her chin into the room: "See, there are people who got full marks in the exam! As for you... I don't think you are Chinese."

Guo Qingshan stared at her sadly and angrily, and immediately decided to eat two more pieces of persimmons to relieve his anger!

The snow fell for half a month at once, and after half a month, all schools in the city began to have winter vacation.Guo Qingshan urged Qiao Zhi four times, and finally persuaded Qiao Zhi to go home for a meal, but halfway through the good meal, for some reason, the Guo family and his wife went into the kitchen and started arguing.

Qiao Zhiquan thought he was blind, and left after eating with his grandma.

As the end of the new year approached, the stores in the city were crowded with people. Department stores began to cut prices and clear out their warehouses early in the morning. Qiao Zhi wanted to close the store early and buy some new year goods, but was dazed by a pile of books that fell from the sky.

I remember that those accounts were all business that Luo Haiming could talk about on the face of it, Qiao Zhi learned from Bai Jiao for a while under the instruction of the teapot, and could barely understand all kinds of accounts.As for Luo Hai's secret business, the teapots were all handled by Bai Jiao.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that there is such a person as "Luo Hai" overnight, and they all silently shut up with each other, and went back to normal life, even if it was only on the surface.

After the winter vacation, Qiu Shui went back to her aunt's house for only five or six days and then she couldn't stay anymore. It happened that Zhuang Yao was tired of being educated by two older sisters all day long. The father and daughter reached an unprecedented agreement. The reason of cultivating the relationship between father and daughter", Qi Qi's feet slipped.

Early in the morning of the winter solstice, the sun ran out lazily and showed his face. It was not half an hour before and after. Qiao Zhi just planned to lie in the recliner for a while, but before his butt touched him, the one in the sky automatically left the stage to give way to Empress Xue. Got it.

She was too lazy to move, so she sat on the recliner with a hot water bottle to watch the snow. The dry grape vines couldn't block much snow. It didn't take long for her face and body to get wet, but she still didn't want to move.

Qiao Zhi lamented in her heart in a daze, she felt that she was a little old, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to lie down peacefully until the end of time.Her thoughts wandered endlessly, thinking, even if she lies here in the end and is buried by heavy snow, it would be an elegant thing.

However, this "elegance" hadn't lasted for 5 minutes before a figure rushed towards her in the wind. Qiao Zhisheng was startled, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat. She should have jumped up with a grin, but because her face and body were frozen She was a little stiff, her expression looked very indifferent and calm, she even gave the person in front of her a "calm" sideways glance, her whole person looked quite upright and prudent.

"It didn't scare you?" Qiu Shui smiled and squatted beside her.

Qiao Zhi sighed in her heart, pulled her red hands from the cold to cover them under the hot water bottle, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to spend the winter solstice with my sister!" Qiu Shui dragged her up, walked into the house, and asked, "What kind of stuffing do you want for my sister's dumplings? Cabbage meat? Or leek meat? What other fillings would you like?" What? Let me think about it..."

Qiao Zhi was so cold that her hands and feet were stiff, but her expression slowly came to life.She listened attentively at first with a little smile in her eyes, then joy and warmth flowed in her heart, and finally she had to purse the corners of her mouth and tried her best to restrain herself so as not to lose her composure.

But in his mouth he was still deceiving himself and others: "What kind of dumplings are you eating? It's so hard to get them. You have to roll the skins and mix the stuffing. It's such a troublesome..."

Qiu Shui pulled her all the way to the house and sat down. First, he took a dry towel and wiped her hair carefully, and then quickly set a brazier for her, dragged her to sit in front of her, and then accepted Said: "It's okay, I can make dumplings, I'll make them, you bake your clothes first." Frowning again, she complained, "Why do you go outside in the winter to soak in the snow? It's so cold! My sister wants to If you want to enjoy the snow, you can enjoy it while sitting in the house, what if you catch a cold..."

Qiao Zhi listened quietly to the little girl's thoughts, without making a sound, carefully folded her hands together to warm them up, and then raised her hands to cover her ears without warning.

Qiushui: "..."

The soft warmth came up unexpectedly, Qiu Shui's heart beat violently, the words in his mouth were broken, and he couldn't catch up, and stared at her blankly.

"Your ears are red from the cold, can't you feel it yourself?" Qiao Zhi looked at her helplessly.

Qiu Shui opened his mouth, but still didn't answer.

The room was quiet for a while.

Fengxue tapped on the small window lightly, and the firewood made a "crackling" sound. She didn't feel cold, but felt a little out of breath.

Why is this happening?

don't laugh at me.

Such a strange thought flashed through her mind.

The facts are counterproductive.

Qiao Zhi's eyes rolled suddenly: "I want dumplings stuffed with cabbage, how about you?"

"..."

Qiu Shui's mind went blank, and he replied in a daze, "...I can do anything, I'm not picky."

The author has something to say: After being beaten up in a massage parlor, I lost a few drops of cat urine, and when I went out, I became the best cub in the crowd again!
