Chapter 3 Different Nights
Wow—
A crisp and loud sound suddenly sounded in the night. Xia Yi's hand shook, and the ashes broke and fell. "This is... gunshot--" He stood up suddenly, his eyelids twitched wildly, looking in the direction of the sound, the lights of the car and the roar of the engine rushed towards this side from afar.
"The police and gangster war... or the black and evil spirits killed each other?" He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. He hurriedly hid at the abandoned cement pipe entrance next to the drainage channel. The other end of the pipe covered a lot of mud and sand. It was a long time ago, and it should be safe. He looked at the sewage outlet across the canal, "I hope the fat man will not come out at this time..."
He muttered softly.
Wow—
The gunshots sounded again, becoming clearer, and the light of the car came over. Xia Yi shrank in shock, and then... he heard the harsh and sharp brakes of the tires, and the monotonous footsteps stomped across the ground and ran towards this side. Xia Yi frowned to the extreme against the pipe, his teeth swelled, and his hands clenched into a fist.
If it is a revenge, it is very likely that he will be killed together.
Step on...
The sound of footsteps suddenly ran over the cement pipe above the head, and a slight vibration came. The dust on the top of the pipe fell down on Xia Yi's head. On his shoulder, when he was about to take a light step into the inside, a black shadow suddenly fell from the top half of it, and blood fell down. His wide open eyes looked at the dark pipe, as if he had found a figure hiding inside. The half-hanging figure struggled a few times, and one arm drooped down, trying to get the black bag that fell with him next to him. At this time, the man also saw Xia Yi at the entrance of the pipe, and spoke weakly.
"Save...save me..."
The person with half of his body had a strange accent. The moment his hand touched the bag, a scarlet color revealed half of it from inside.
"...Islander? Then I'll feel relieved." Xia Yi didn't notice the bag, but heard the man's accent for a moment, and then the collision of the car door came from above. In addition, the sound of rapid footsteps reached out and twisted the neck of the islander who was half of his body. The bones made a crisp sound, and his face, which was still trying to continue speaking, stopped, and his eyes widened and he slapped on the ground.
Xia Yi kicked the corpse away with one foot. During the movement, he found that half of the thing was exposed on the ground, emitting a faint red luster. He subconsciously reached out to pick it up. When his fingertips touched the smooth and cold gem, his whole body suddenly became bouncing like an electric shock, and his chest became stuffy. After a moment, the sound of footsteps coming were getting closer and closer.
He quickly withdrew his hand, retreated gently into the innermost part of the cement pipe, and hid in the darkness. He heard a man's voice above his head, as if talking to someone: "The person and the thing fell down together." "Remember not to touch it with your hands." "... Take the thing away and return to the group to hand in the work..." "You go and pick it up, I'll take a look around."
Obviously two people.
Outside, in the blue moonlight, a figure was pulled long on the ground. The unique sound of leather shoes passed through the mud, sand and gravel, making a cracking sound. Xia Yi's face was flushed at this time, and his body suddenly became hot. In his vision, the black shadow approached here, and seemed to have seen a cloth bag on the ground. He went straight to pick it up, opened it and looked inside, then tied it in his hand, kicked the body on the ground, and after checking, he looked up and said to the person above: "This person is dead."
In the other party's movements, Xia Yi, who was hiding, saw clearly that the man did have a pistol in his hand. If he found out that there was someone in it, would the other party shoot him?
However, the heat on his body had turned into a burning pain. He could feel the skin on his face as if it was burned by flames, and the blisters were even on his face, the back of his hands, and the back of his hands were swollen, densely packed. The figure at the entrance of the pipe seemed to want to explore inside. The leather shoes took a slam and half a step in, and the pistol slowly raised and pointed to the dark inside.
"Is the thing there?" At this moment, the voice of the man's companion sounded outside.
The steps approached stopped, and the next second, he retreated outside. The black figure lowered his gun and looked at this side. Seeing that everything was normal, he lifted the ankle of the body and pulled it back up, "The thing is recovered, there are no witnesses around, right?"
"No, just a broken bicycle."
"Then let's go, the corpse and things must be taken back for the service..." The sound gradually drifted away. When the sound of the two cars starting, Xia Yi finally couldn't help but gasped heavily. The saliva in his mouth could not stop flowing out. When he stumbled out of the pipe, the sound of the car had gone far away. He struggled to get up, "Ahh..." The suppressed roar finally squeezed out of his throat, rolling and crawling towards the drainage channel.
With a torn sound, I pulled my clothes apart. On my thin chest, blood vessels swayed under the skin like earthworms. The dense blisters also swelled and contracted on the cortex. The whole person seemed to have expanded a circle, and his staggering steps finally stepped into the water.
The water splashed.
The vision was shaking, and Xia Yi's consciousness became blurred. He suddenly rushed into the water that was only deep in the instep. He swallowed the river water with chemical precipitation in large mouths. "Hot..." The eyes were covered with blood, almost occupying the entire eye socket. Everything he saw was red. He murmured in a blur, constantly rolling in the water, wetting his whole body to make himself feel better. However, after tumbling for dozens of times, his body gradually stopped moving, and still flowed through his body.
Nebula flowed, and the cold moonlight gradually covered the clouds. After a long time, there was light on the sewage pipe.
"Lao Yi...you...you set off firecrackers outside for no reason? Do you know it will scare people!" The voice buzzed from the pipe, and the light of the flashlight shook inside and shone outside. His plump figure dragged his linen pockets and jingled. Then he came out from inside and looked around, "Lao Yi...Lao Yi?"
The flashlight was illuminated everywhere, and finally stopped at the drainage channel. Seeing the figure standing in the water, the fat man dragged his pocket and ran there, "Old Yi is okay, go quickly, you've got everything."
Turning around and walking a few steps, he found something was wrong. The fat man threw the cloth bag, jumped into the water, and went to touch Xia Yi. The temperature from his skin scared him.
"Lao Yi... Why are you having a fever...Oh, my goodness." He quickly supported the brother who seemed to be a little confused and pulled it to the shore, rode the tattered old-fashioned bicycle here, tied the cloth bag on the bar, and turned around and saw Xia Yi coming over and sat directly in the back seat.
"Lao Yi, are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go." Xia Yi, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled and said softly. A faint redness appeared in the depths of her eyes.
The night is deep, and the streets of Xiangluo are deserted. Xiaoyu is lying on her and tossing and turning, unable to sleep. When she occasionally gets up to drink water, she hears the creaking sound of a bicycle coming from below.
Why did anyone come back late?... She didn't think much, but there was no sound from Xia Yi's room next door since the night, and she felt a little worried.
After a moment, footsteps and door openings came faintly from the corridor. Xiaoyu got up and went to listen to the next door against the wall. As the key swayed, Zhao Dezhu, who was following in the door, said: "Lao Yi, are you really okay? Do you want me to find some medicine for you?"
"It's a bit hot, but it's okay to sleep. Go back soon."
Xia Yi sent the fat man out of the door with a cold face. The moment he returned to the house, he quickly turned on the shower, clenched his teeth, and took a knife behind the mirror, and stood under the cold water without taking off his pants. He slashed the wound on his arm with a knife. The pain made him tremble all over. When the blood flowed into the drainage port along the water stains, the person sat down.
The red that was originally ubiquitous in the eyes gradually melted down.
"That thing made me react so much... I almost couldn't help it." She threw away the knife, wiped the water stains on her face, got up from the floor tiles, walked barefoot to the bathroom sink and applied medicine. He had an extreme personality. He was in jail because of this reason, which hurt people. His life in prison also made him realize from impulsive age that he had to change. Whenever his personality changes, he would use pain to transfer it like this. He had already had signs of calmness, but now he suddenly rebounded, which was even more violent than before.
"Brother Yi..."
Suddenly a female voice came from the balcony. Xia Yi pressed her hands on both sides of the sink. Blood in her eyes quickly spread to her pupils, and her white teeth were spreading: "Go away-"
