Chapter 14 Lin

The time went back to a few hours ago, and there were only a few customers who were still waiting in the small noodle restaurant after one o'clock.

Qin Gentiana sat at a small plastic table in the corner of the restaurant and asked the waiter for a lighter, while the hunched middle-aged woman in front of him wiped her red and white cheeks with a pale face, and then held herself in her mouth. Tears looked to the side.

The two of them hadn't spoken a word to each other since they first came in. Seeing this, Qin Geng took the initiative to pay for a bowl of noodles for the embarrassed woman, which seemed to be the same as his usual kindness and generosity in front of people.

It's just that this woman, who looks much older than her peers, seems to have been in some kind of inexplicable shock because of his appearance just now, so that she has been carefully distinguishing for a long time before she dared to bow down in shame. The head whispered again submissively and said,

"You...how long have you been out of prison?"

"It's been more than a month. When I came out, I went to the neighborhood of my original home, but the people there said that you have moved away long ago."

Saying this, Qin Gentian, who lit the cigarette with a lighter and took another puff, raised his head and smiled at the woman. The eyes of the middle-aged woman turned red when she saw this, and her thin and thin shoulders trembled violently a few times. , put his clenched hands on the table and explained to him emotionally,

"Ah, no... that's not the case. You listened to Auntie explain to you that things were really not what you thought. It was because the family was a little difficult at that time, so we sold the house and... changed the address. We really It’s not to hide from you on purpose, your uncle and I...for so many years...we have always wanted to visit you in prison...We really regarded you as our own son, your uncle and I really feel sorry you--"

Halfway through the speech, the middle-aged woman suddenly couldn't continue. She turned her face away in embarrassment and began to cry uncontrollably, as if she had fallen into some kind of great pain that she didn't want to recall in her life.

Seeing that her mood began to become unstable without warning, Qin Geng didn't seem to have much reaction, his expression was like watching a flamboyant one-sided farce, he kept watching the woman crying and repeating to himself I'm sorry, even the curvature of the corner of my mouth hasn't changed.

However, this sorry has long been meaningless to him now, so before other customers in the noodle shop looked here curiously, he realized that a woman like the two of them is really a bit shameful. He stopped his crying with difficulty and carefully under the prompt.

And Qin Gentian, who hadn't merged into her painful and sad emotions at all just now, just poured her a cup of hot water when he saw this, and after thinking about why a woman would suddenly feel so guilty towards herself after so many years, It took a while for Qin Gentiana to narrow her eyes and twitch the corners of her mouth thoughtfully.

"It's been too long, let's stop talking about it, and go back early after you eat the noodles."

"...Well, thank you...thank you, Gentleman."

His unbelievably magnanimous attitude made the woman look both moved and sad. Later, Qin Gentian was going to give her penniless 200 yuan to go home, but this time the woman refused to take it. .

Seeing this, Qin Gentian, who knew that she had always been very face-saving, did not force the woman to accept his money, but got up and went outside the restaurant alone after the woman's face was served.

And a few minutes later, seeing Qin Gentian walking slowly back from the other side of the road with two bags of fresh fruit in front of her, the woman whose psychological defense line had completely collapsed simply put down her chopsticks and burst into tears again.

"I'm sorry... Ah Gen... Auntie didn't cry for you on purpose... I've been sick for the past two years... and I can't control it if I don't take medicine... I put the medicine in my bag before. I was snatched away by Xiao Guang, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

The middle-aged woman who spoke confusedly wiped the tears on her cheeks while explaining in embarrassment. Qin Gentian, who had already noticed something wrong with her mental state just now, looked at the woman twice for no reason. After a while, he nodded and smiled calmly, and began to greet her like all the filial sons in the world.

Because of the emotional basis of being a family member, Qin Gentian made the woman in front of him let go of her past knots with him almost effortlessly. She began to talk to Qin Gentian about her suffering and sadness over the years, family, husband, and work. , and the education of the youngest son, he would suddenly cry softly while talking.

But obviously, Gentiana Qin is a very qualified listener, so when he deliberately wanted to make a middle-aged woman who is psychologically fragile and suffers from obvious mental illness a sense of trust and dependence on him, he could easily listen to him without spending a lot of effort. Easy to do.

And the pale-faced middle-aged woman saw that Qin Gentian, who had been treated like that by herself, was now willing to accompany her so patiently, and was moved for a while, and then copied her current home address and landline phone number to Qin Gentian one by one. , and took his hand to make an appointment for the next meeting before going home reluctantly,

Because of this delay, when Qin Gentian took the bus back to the old part of the city, the sky was completely dark. After seven or eight o’clock, the sky began to rain lightly. Qin Gentian, who didn’t go out with an umbrella today, was just like that. A person walked forward for a while, half drenched in the rain, and it didn't take long for his body to be wet except for the pair of socks inside the shoes.

But today, he didn't seem to be particularly anxious to go home. Instead, he turned to Changyuan Road for a while, and then went to a strange place like an abandoned old construction site.

When he was walking in the dark, he was about to go straight through a large area of ​​unlicensed food stalls outside the construction site, when he happened to see a middle-aged stall owner trying to drive away a dog that was stealing food from the door with the mop head in his hand. Trash stray dogs.

Hearing the barking of the dog, it seems that it is still very young, and it is unknown who deliberately threw it here before weaning.

Qin Gentian, who was standing on the opposite side of the road, stared at this scene for a while, and after a while, he walked to the side of the food stall and bought a box of hot fried rice with the only 20 yuan he had left. .

Afterwards, he specially spent an extra [-] cents to buy a packing box and divided the fried rice in his hand into two portions. When he walked past the stray dog ​​huddling awkwardly by the side of the road, Qin Gentian bent down and put the steaming box away. In front of the little white dog with filthy fur, he hesitated for a long time after noticing that the little white dog was always cowering in his eyes. Finally, he couldn't hold back and started to eat. After touching its wet head, he laughed

"I have poisoned it, and if I eat it, it will turn into dog meat hotpot."

"Wang Wang-"

"You are as easy to deceive as those people, but people in this world are all the same. They only want to see what they like to see. If they see what they don't like to see, they will immediately treat them like garbage. I also abandoned you without hesitation, after all, these people still only think about themselves, so this kind of people deserve to be taught a lesson, do you think I am right?"

"Wow -"

One person and one dog chatted in such a harmonious atmosphere, Qin Gentian said a few more words to himself and felt a little boring, so he simply stood up and entered the construction site, and after he entered the inside, he walked forward a few times along the entire ruined wall. After a few steps, Qin Gentiana first cast his blurred shadow on the gray wall, and then heard three bangs of clappers coming from behind the wall. The woman with legs leaned on his shoulders before hooking the corners of her mouth playfully.

"Beauty, what can you do?"

"Hey, friend, why is your tone so weird? Where is the friendship you used to be friends with? The evil master just asked me to come and see you, to see if you had the courage to dig out your own heart from Old Man Wick , Qin Gentian, who lost three lives of his adoptive parents and family, how is life going now, are you still used to the feeling of trouble?"

"It's not bad, at least now that I've done a lot of bad things, I don't have to be afraid to walk at night again."

Because of Qin Gentiana's taunting words, he suddenly laughed strangely, and the girl Sun on the wall went crazy for a while, and managed to stop the horrible laughter, then suddenly suppressed her own in a low voice With a high-pitched voice, he said to Gentiana Qin,

"Speaking of which, you already know about Mrs. Tang cooking a human head, right?"

"Well, I know, what's wrong?"

"Yeah, it's good that you know, there is indeed another matter for me to come to you. You also know that the lord will pay tribute to us little scumbags every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year. If we can't hand over the best human flesh, we will all die Well, that old woman, Geng Po, is good at cooking human flesh, so her ability to pick meat is of course the best."

"But she's old and dim-sighted. Not only did she miss this time, but she also killed the wrong person. She let go of the good human meat tribute we were looking for, and now she even messed with the teacher who should have died long ago. I once There was a distant aunt who was harmed by these hateful teachers, and now the evil master asked me to tell you personally, if you can catch the escaped human flesh and get the most precious and nourishing part of her body, From now on, he will order you to be the general of my Chongjie, how about... Lord Qingjiao?"

After saying these words, Miss Sun felt that she had given a bargaining chip that was enough to seduce people, but Qin Gentian, who had never been with these ordinary evil spirits and was always eccentric, remained indifferent.

After a while, seeing this glamorous and seductive female ghost was almost anxious with himself, Qin Gentian narrowed his gray eyes and smiled unhurriedly, with a tone full of laziness and curiosity casually asked,

"Who is that teacher?"

"Who knows? No one has ever seen his true face. He is harder to find than you. He always likes to hide his head and show his tail to do things that are difficult for us. It would be better if you could kill him for us this time. I wish I could have killed him myself."

"Okay, I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, you and the evil master will go find another reliable general. I believe those hundreds of skewers in the sewers and yellow sausages in the public toilets will be willing to help the two of you." Go through fire and water."

Miss Sun: "..."

After showing the truest side of her heart, it seems that even the tone of her speech has become particularly annoying, and it is obvious that she will not be able to deal with this monster again. Miss Sun is sure that after Qin Gentiana agrees, she will never want to spend more time with this yin and yang guy After staying there for a second, it instantly turned into an egg-sized eight-legged spider on the wall and quickly crawled away. Seeing the female spider walking away angrily, Qin Gentiane lowered her head and smiled, then turned around and left the area. construction site.

Just waiting for him to return to the old dormitory unit building in the city with the other half box of fried rice that had been completely cold in the rain, Qin Geng never expected to see a man looking down at a small shop downstairs seriously The gentle youth of the Yangtze Evening News.

And he noticed that there seemed to be someone staring at him not far away. He finally came out at night, and after he came, he found that neither Cui Dingdong nor Qin Gentiana had returned home. Jin Heng raised his expression impatiently. He started to glance in front of him, and then pursed his lips unnaturally after seeing Qin Gentian staring at him strangely.

But before the always awkward Young Master Jin opened his mouth to express euphemistically that he actually came by the way, he didn't wait for a long time, and he definitely didn't come here just for him, the fat man in the canteen behind Jin Heng The old lady shouted happily in a tone that might be her own birthday today.

"Oh, Gentiana! You are finally back! Your friend came to celebrate your birthday in the middle of the night! The cake is so big and there are flowers! I waited for you for more than an hour, and refused to leave after the rain stopped twice! Happy birthday! I don’t feel happy now hahahaha!”

Jin Heng: "..."

Gentiana:"……"
