Chapter 7 The Intractable Wound

There are many deserted fields in the southwest suburbs of Jiaohe County, and few people live here. Occasionally, there are convoys of funerals or buses from small towns to county towns to feel a hint of popularity. In front of the stop sign, Xia Yi walked off the bus and happened to meet a team crying from the cemetery. He bypassed from the side.

The forest was shady, and the branches were covered with withered vines. From time to time, crows were yelling at the treetops, flapping their wings and flying away. Xia Yi walked for a while, and there were few people around him. From far to the nearby ones, the dense white tombstones extended. When he walked towards the tombstone that had been here twice, he saw a figure wearing a police uniform standing there.

Hearing the footsteps, the other party turned his head, "I thought you wouldn't come, so I cleaned it first."

Xia Yi walked to the tomb, looked at the tombstone that had just been wiped, and fell silent with his head down. The man in the police uniform was Fang Zhi, who was his brother-in-law, or his ex-brother-in-law. He had been a policeman for ten years and was a captain. He was sent to prison by himself. After thinking about it carefully for so many years, Xia Yi's initial resentment towards him was gradually smoothed out. Moreover, it was difficult to get angry in front of his sister's tomb. In the final analysis, he also had a large part of the responsibility for his own sister's death.

"... Look at how many people are lying here? There are still many dead people waiting to be buried here every day. Over the years, I have watched a lot of things. I hope you don't blame yourself anymore and go back to your hometown to see your parents when you have time. You also know that I have a lot of things and can't leave. When your sister is here, I complain a lot."

The police badge reflected a luster in the sunshine, and his figure walked around. As he spoke, Fang Zhi squatted down and pulled out the weeds on the edge of his wife's tombstone. "When you were released from prison, you originally wanted to pick you up, but you were afraid that you would see me, so you turned around and leave. It was so embarrassing. During the period when you were released from prison, I have been watching you. Seeing that your life has calmed down, I felt a little at ease. I thought about calling today to see you."

In the low and gentle voice, Xia Yi was in a complicated mood. He reached out to stroke the tombstone, stroked the familiar names carved on it and the portrait of his sister posted on it. He never said a word from beginning to end. After a while, he stood up and left. Fang Fangzhi stood up and reminded him: "Xiao Yi, you have to take the right path."

A group of crows shocked the woods and flew over the cemetery in black.

Xia Yi's figure did not stop and walked straight out of the cemetery and took a bus back to the city village. It was already evening. The sunset was setting, and the drizzling drizzled down. The dirty streets became muddy. He bought a yo-yo in a nearby shop, and took out one or two pieces from his pocket, and two 50 cents were just enough.

"You can pass the time if you can't see it, right?" Xia Yi put the toy in his arms and walked over to Luoxiang Street. The chemical factory that Zhao Dezhu sneaked into in the middle of the night was just downstream of the river. When he thought of this, he had to think of the bizarre encounter that night. His special abilities suddenly became a little unfamiliar. He felt that once his temperament was repeated, he could use some strange abilities... Just like playing games in junior high school, he could issue skills, but it was not very accurate.

"It seems like I'm going to find time and have some exploring..."

When he turned the corner, his steps suddenly stopped. On the other side of his sight, a figure smashed into the pile of garbage in a slightly dark alley. Three gangsters in fancy clothes, with red, yellow and green hair, pressed the man into dirty water and beat him. One of them was groping on the other side, probably plundering money.

"......You old man, you bring ten dollars when you go out! Is it shabby or not?"

"When you go back and find your wife, you'll be more interested. We won't come to your house to find her tomorrow... I heard that your daughter-in-law is pretty good. My son works in the city. If the money is low, then we have to help your son comfort your daughter-in-law."

Then he kicked the old man in the stomach, bared his teeth and shouted fiercely: "Did you hear it-" The figure on the ground nodded repeatedly while the belly was nodding, the young man with yellow hair and earrings raised his head to look at Xia Yi who was standing at the entrance of the alley, twisted his neck, approached him, and pointed his hand at his nose, "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will snatch you too."

"This person seems to be Xia Yi from the next street... she is a poor man." Green-haired said with a smile.

Huangmao took back his hand, "I remember that there is someone like you." He waved to Xia Yi, "Get out, don't mess with you, you are a foreigner, and you will be traumatized, and no one will avenge you."

Xia Yi looked at the old man on the ground for a while and finally chose to leave. The village in the city was originally a gathering place for migrant workers, and it was also a place where chaos arose. As the city became more and more prosperous, all people would appear in these places, such as fish and dragons, robbery, stealing, and selling. They are normal. He went in once, and now he fought with these three people, or could not stop and hurt people, so he would enter the palace second.

Seeing Xia Yi turn around and leave, Huangmao spits on the ground and walks back into the alley, smiling and says, "That evil pen is a coward who relies on the help of a blind man..."

The figure that left stopped in the dirty puddle, hanging under the cuffs beside him, the yo-yo buzzed up and down, Xia Yi's face was soaked in the shadow, and he grinned and said softly: "Your mouths are so annoying."

The yellow-haired man stopped there, shrugged his shoulders at his companion, turned around with a sneer, but his eyes met with a rotating yo-yo hitting his eyes.

"ah--"

Huangmao covered her eyes and howled, and then kicked her feet on his stomach. She flew directly into the alley. Seeing this, the other two rushed over quickly. Before one of them could take two steps, they were hit on the ground by their companions who flew backwards. The last one smirked and waved his hand: "Brother... forget it, we are just kidding this old guy..."

The answer was a yo-yo. The dim light on the roadside shone wildly on the figures in the alley. Different shrill screams continued for a while. The old man in the garbage dump shrank to the bottom, closed his eyes and did not dare to look. When the young man in old clothes came to the old clothes, he said: "The old man will go back early and be careful to meet bad people."

When he opened his eyes, the man had already walked away. He looked out of the garbage dump and heard three blue-swept gangsters in the alley, hanging on the nearby iron fence like red, green and yellow signal lights, shaking. The yellow-haired raised his head tremblingly, opened his swollen eyes, and begged to the old man tremblingly.

"......Please call us an ambulance, thank you."

....

The lights on the unit were still on. Xia Yi returned to the rental house. The fat man had been waiting for him in the room, surrounded by a small butter cake. He smelled it again and again, "It smells so good... I've wanted to eat it for a long time, fifteen yuan! These cake shops are too dark. If it weren't for Xiaoyu's birthday, I would have been willing to buy it. By the way, Lao Yi, have you brought a gift to Xiaoyu?"

Xia Yi touched her pocket, and the only rope left of the yo-yo I bought before was still there. She smiled: "........ ready."

"That's good."

Zhao Dezhu put down the cake, moved a wooden board about one meter to the middle of the balcony on both sides. In the room opposite, the girl heard the movement gently, gently pushed open the window, groped here, raised her green onion fingers and whispered, "I brought some things, I had hidden here before..." She said as she took out half a pound of pork and a handful of onions, "... After the aunt bought it, I quietly cut it down a little, and I didn't know if it was enough."

"Enough..." The fat man nodded in jealousy, "Lao Yi and I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so Xiaoyu is still caring."

The girl smiled and tilted her head. As she swung her ponytail, she stretched out her hands, "Where is my birthday gift?"

"Here! I bought a cake for you specifically, and I'll blow the candle later!" The fat man pushed the small piece of cake with Happy Birthday written on it to the middle of the wooden board, "Old Yi also prepared it."

"real?"

Xiaoyu smiled sweeter, "Brother Yi, what gift do you want to give me?"

Looking at the girl's shallow dimples and looking expectant, Xia Yi was silent for a moment. In the fat man's astonished gaze, he took off the red rope with a ring tied between his neck.

"Lao Yi, this is not your sister..."

"Xiaoyu, this is what I gave you." Before Zhao Dezhu finished speaking, Xia Yi had already handed the ring and the red rope to the girl's palm. Feeling the residual warmth of the gift, and after he found that the gift was a ring, Xiaoyu's face turned red and he stammered: "Thank you... Thank you... Brother Yi..."

Shihong almost crawled to her neck.

"Just like it." Xia Yi smiled and took the ingredients on the wooden board, "I'll go to the kitchen to fry it, and the three of us will share it together."

Seeing the brother turning inside, the fat man looked at the ring rubbing in the girl's hand and couldn't help saying: "That is the relics of Sister Lao Yi. If you can keep your safety, you must wear them all the time."

"Relics?"

In fact, Zhao Dezhu could see that the girl was interested in Xia Yi, but some things Xia Yi could not tell others. The fat man glanced at the busy figure in the room and whispered to the girl who showed doubts: "To put it this matter, we have to talk about the time when we were in junior high school. The high school entrance exam was about to be taken. Lao Yi performed very well in the class and liked another girl, but he didn't break the window paper. One day, after evening self-study, and the next day, the girl never appeared again. Later, a policeman came to the school and we learned that her body was found under a canal on the way home...there was bruised on her face and her head was broken."

"...... Later I heard that someone had seen a car passing by. It was from a rich man in the town, but the man was doing business in another place and was not at home at all. The police could not provide evidence to arrest him... At that time, Lao Yi looked for people everywhere as if he was crazy. Finally, he found out from an acquaintance in a billiard room at the back door of the school that the person who was driving that day was actually the son of the rich man."

Xiaoyu clenched his fingers, his face turned pale: "What about it later? Did the police arrest that person?"

The fat man shook his head: "No, that boy has absent proved... There were no cameras everywhere at that time, not to mention that in the countryside, Lao Yi felt that he couldn't survive. He didn't take the high school entrance examination anymore. He bought a knife... and kept looking for opportunities," Zhao Dezhu took a breath, "It's a pity that the boy has a few friends who followed him. He didn't kill him, but only cut a few people into injury. One of them was seriously injured... Lao Yi was also almost killed by the boy driving... At that time, Lao Yi's sister was pregnant, but as a result... He heard the news, and was so anxious that he was bleeding heavily in the delivery bed, and he was saved by both size and size..."

"Later, the matter hit the county, and the boy's family forced him to surrender. It turned out that the boy drove to see the girl who was going home from evening study that day, and had a bad intention. But he failed. He was so angry that he accidentally pushed the person off the bridge... Finally, he betrayed a manslaughter, but Lao Yi deliberately hurt someone. This was what happened after he came out."

He almost gritted his teeth and said this, his eyes were a little red. He sucked his nose and reminded him again: "So, you have to wear it on your body, Lao Yi and his sister have a good relationship."

Xiaoyu heard the footsteps coming from the kitchen, and she quickly wiped away her tears. Xia Yi came over with a plate of fragrant stir-frying dishes, "It's done, it's just that the seasoning is less, so please be careful. Uh... why are your eyes red?"

"When my mother was still there, she lived with me, but later she disappeared. My father married her current aunt and rarely accompanied me." Xiaoyu smiled with her eyes red, "Now, Brother Yi and Brother Fat Tiger accompany me for my birthday, I was so happy that I almost cried."

Xia Yi lit the candle on the cake, "Then some of you will cry in the future, and then I will spend it every year and make you cry every year." He pushed the cake over, "Hurry, make a wish."

The girl put her hands together and put her lips on her lips, her face towards the night sky for a while, and said, "It's over!" Then she blew out the candle in one breath, and Xia Yi cut the cake and put it on a small plate, "What's Xu? Let's hear it."

"It won't work if you say it." Xiaoyu turned his head and raised his mouth slightly, "But I can tell you, I have another wish." She pointed to the sky and pursed her lips and said, "That is, if you can be a flight attendant in the future, you will have the opportunity to look at the blue sky and the white clouds, it should be very beautiful."

Before Xia Yi and the others could talk, she raised a finger, smiled sweetly on her face, and showed her little tiger teeth: "I'll tell you another good news. The hospital told my father that the cornea was in place, which means that my wish will come true soon!"

"That's great, just eat a bite of the cake."

Zhao Dezhu laughed, quickly cut a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth. The night slowly went deeper, and the drizzle finally got heavy. A gray car drove past the rain curtain, and an ambulance rushed past. In the driver's seat in the car, Dongfang Xu lit a cigarette, listening to the radio: Lonely night, lonely you, welcome to listen to Jiaohe Radio...

"That Changwu is not the murderer or a psychic. He is just a 25-year-old who colludes with South Koreans." Dongfang Xu spit out smoke and watched the wiper shaking, "This gongjiu is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon..."

He murmured, the co-pilot's door opened, and the colleague who came in with water vapor shook his head at him: "There is no problem with the energy detector, and he has not received any traces of fluctuations in the nearby energy. Will you guess wrong?"

"My intuition tells me that the person must be hiding here."

Dongfang Xu looked at the dark street scene, then started the car and left. In the lights, three people from a small alley were finally rescued and carried into an ambulance. The policeman picked up a piece of yo-yo from the ground, "Who believes it, just this thing can beat these three people like this?"

"What's important is that these three guys actually talk about the rules of the world. You can't tell the person. After the injury is recovered, you will call him back..." Another older policeman shook his head and smiled, "Since there is nothing to do, let's go."
