Chapter 10 The Boy - The Mouse
case one boy
ten mice
After taking a lot of effort to turn off the old hair dryer that was lingering in the style of a broken bellows, Shao Jie pushed open the bathroom door and poked his head out, vaguely as if he heard the lingering sound of a mobile phone ringing.

He retracted in front of the sink mirror, pulled off the power supply of the hair dryer that was on the verge of leakage, shook off the bath towel, covered his head and swayed back to the room, ignoring the series of non-stop WeChat messages and missed calls, and quickly placed the order After a few pages of small household appliances, he glanced at the WeChat page of Han Lu's serial bombing, and replied perfunctorily: "He is still alive."

Shao Jie clicked on the text message that seemed too solemn in the WeChat era.

A number that has not been saved before, a familiar ID signature - Shao Jie's thumb hovered over the number, and he clicked a few times in the air. He was hesitating whether to make a call back, when Han Lu's video call invitation popped up first, then The face, distorted and magnified tightly against the lens, is spread out on the screen.

"Brother, it's too scary that you don't answer the phone... I thought I had to ask the police uncle again."

"...Can you wish me well."

"Then you haven't moved for most of the day?"

Shao Jie looked at Han Lu's nostrils and felt dizzy, and casually put the phone on the table to let him admire the ceiling: "The Internet cafe was all night, and I slept until just now when I got home. I took a shower and prepared to order takeaway. Your old man has something to do." Son?"

"It's a coincidence, let's go out for dinner." Han Lu closed the car door with a "click" on the phone, "It's just a chance to celebrate Jie God's survival, and there must be good luck."

"At this time...won't you accompany your girlfriend?" Shao Jie rubbed his dry hair a few times and threw the towel aside, sat cross-legged at the table and finished playing Spider Solitaire on the computer: "Arguing again? "

"What do you mean 'arguing again'..." Han Lu paused for a few seconds, grinned and wailed on the other end of the phone, "Yang Tangtang is about to give up! Aren't you coming to comfort your brother?"

Shao Jie glanced at the face on the screen of the mobile phone that was dry and never raining, and dragged the cards without moving: "You two are dating more lively than idol dramas, let me go, a pure wild single Ok?"

Han Lu had expected that this peerless nerd would not come out of the mountain without any benefits, "I'll treat you, just order whatever you want."

"Your treat..." Shao Jie let out a long "hmm" without distraction, opened his mouth and began to report the name of the dish: "Then I want to eat: steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted Chicks, roast goose, stewed salted duck, sauce chicken, bacon, pine flower, small belly, dried meat, sausage—”

"Don't listen to cross talk, where can I fix this Manchu feast for you?" Han Lu bluntly stopped Uncle Shao's preparation for a stand-up, "Speak seriously."

Shao Jie thought for a moment without squinting, and decided to carry out the dishonesty to the end: "Then Aolong, caviar, abalone, truffles...what else is more expensive? Oh yes, Wagyu, it's A5."

"Do you think I look like an A5?" Han Lu was immediately amused. "Don't be a fool. Think carefully. I will book a restaurant right away. If you dare not eat these after ordering, I will give you all the hard work." Stuff it in.”

Shao Jie was silent for a while, and decided not to joke about his precious life.

"... hot pot is fine."

----

The hot pot restaurant is full of guests.The loud and noisy sound was separated from the door of the box, and the spicy and fragrant steam was boiling in the room.

Han Lu's face was flushed by the heat, he held up the sour plum soup, and made a gesture of two taels of white wine with Shao Jie's orange juice, and filled his mouth with sesame oil with three plates of beef, adding fuel to Yang Tangtang's abandonment of him for dance rehearsal and training. I told it over and over three times: the first time made people sad, the first time made them cry, and the last time they didn't know, they thought Yang Candy was the contemporary "Chen Shimei".

Shao Jie bit the tip of his chopsticks without changing his face and watched him howl, waiting for this "resentful woman" who was very keen to eat Yang Candy's male partner Fei vinegar to turn the page when she was tired of making a fuss, and took a slow sip of the orange juice He took a sip: "When will Yang Candy train again?"

"The choreography of the dance drama is going to be greatly changed, and it will probably be midnight. She competes in the show to control her weight, and I sneak out to improve the food, and go back to be a rabbit with her." Han Lu chattered until his throat was smoky, and his eyes were quiet. Turning around, the sour plum soup continued in his hand, hesitating in his words, cleared his throat and said, "Before... I didn't have time to ask at the class reunion before. It's rare that you return to Sheng'an this offseason. How long do you plan to stay? Or... ...Aren't you leaving?"

"Actually, you went all the way to find me just to ask this, right? You laid the groundwork for a long time, and criticized Yang Tangtang..." Shao Jie put down the orange juice, and laughed, "Originally, I planned to make an agreement. Let me tell you—Huo Ke called me several times, saying that he wanted to have a chat, and then there were a few club executives who were trying to get close to me, and they were still considering it..."

Shao Jie didn't continue to speak, the voice hung here, Han Lu frowned.

"Do you really want to go back to DRG?"

Shao Jie gave a warm "Yeah": "Anyway, the game can be played anywhere. Since I want to return to the club in Sheng'an, DRG's resource allocation is indeed better. Huo Ke has become the head coach, and their new one The female manager is pretty awesome.”

Han Lu raised his voice, but his voice sank unconsciously: "Where the game is played is not a problem, the problem is that Jiang Weili is in DRG——"

"What happened three years ago has already passed." Shao Jie leaned against the back of the chair, held the phone on his body with both hands, and moved the puzzle slider on the back of the phone case with his thumb. He was silent for a few seconds before continuing: "Jiang Weili is now Ambitious, don't necessarily put me in the eyes."

"You can pull it off. Why do you have to go back to DRG after it's over? What if Jiang Weili stumbles you again? You were just a little kid three years ago! I'm sorry I didn't put your life in trouble. That guy who used to be on the same team as you has lost all his hands now——" Han Lu suddenly realized that what he said was not quite right. He closed his mouth mid-sentence, folded his arms, and looked at him with his lips pursed in bitterness. He sighed in a suppressed tone: "Forget it, you are just like a living donkey. You are so stubborn that you can't stay no matter what you do when you leave. It's useless to persuade you when you come back... But this time, let's make a deal first. If there is something, I need my help." You must speak first, I'm really afraid to go to the hospital and see your desperate behavior."

Shao Jie smiled and didn't respond, Han Lu held up the sour plum soup again and clinked glasses with him as a promise, "By the way, have you mentioned to my uncle and aunt that you want to go back to Sheng'an?"

"I went to the emergency department and stayed in the hospital for two days without seeing Director Shao who is resident in the hospital. Not to mention Ms. Wu Jin, an excellent class teacher in the third year of high school. The two elites met." Shao Jie shook his head, expressionless, seemingly indifferent, "They have never been interested in my affairs, as long as they know that I can still breathe."

Han Lu frowned at Shao Jie's words.He opened his mouth to say something, but he was afraid that this "problem boy" who seldom came home would be rebellious and he would kick him right away.Han Lu was silent for a few seconds, swallowed one last time, took advantage of the opportunity when the waiter knocked on the door to serve the food, randomly picked up an irrelevant topic and started talking nonsense, and finished the meal in a neither salty nor bland manner.

The windy nights of approaching winter.

Shao Jie stood by the side of the road, watching silently as Han Lu, who was in a hurry to drive back to school because Yang Tangtang checked the post halfway, left.He stretched his waist, squinted his eyes, and looked up at the moon with a faint halo of light. His hands in his trouser pockets were still subconsciously moving the puzzle sliders on the phone case.He didn't really want to go home, so he turned his head and went straight to the dessert shop that was about to close in the shopping mall and searched around before coming out. Holding a few squares of cream like a hamster, he wandered from the business district square to the roadside streets and alleys, taking his time Walking in the direction of the bus stop sign.

At this moment, there was a sound of full-bodied cursing from behind Shao Jie.

"Your uncle's You Hao! Stop!"

In view of the fact that he had just experienced a dangerous incident where he was almost knocked off by high heels two days ago, Shao Jie wanted to run away when he heard the word "stop".But he slipped away for a few steps, belatedly thinking that the voice seemed familiar, and hesitantly looked back, the moment he saw two uninvited guests running towards him, one before the other, he tensed up as if To face the face of heroism, he stretched his long legs and raised his feet - the middle-aged fat man who was running wildly in front had no expectation that such a "Cheng Yaojin" would suddenly appear halfway, and he staggered and twisted a few steps It rolled around on the sidewalk like a ball, and plunged into the bushes of the green belt.

Jiang Mo behind was a step late, out of breath.

She was chasing so fiercely that she didn't stop. She rushed over and grabbed the fat man who was screaming on the ground and handcuffed her. Focusing my eyes, I saw a slender and slender telephone pole poking there holding half a piece of cream cake. I saw Jiang Mo smiling when he turned around to look at him. Creamy fondue base.

Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, his head ached from the smell of hot pot, and suddenly he felt that meeting him was not a good omen.

"why is it you again?"

----

In view of the fact that You Hao, a middle-aged fat man, has too much weight base, his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his skin was red, and he wailed on the side of the road with a broken voice to resist the violence. Howe turned back to the police force to talk about the idea of ​​"gossip", and found a nearby pharmacy that was open at night, planning to interrogate him on the spot in the police car and help him treat his wound first.

Shao Jie felt in a daze that he seemed to be in trouble again, and followed Jiang Mo step by step. Just as he was about to speak, Officer Jiang had already handcuffed You Hao to the hub of the police car, and squatted on the side of the road , while rubbing the gravel soil stuck to the fatty's wound with an alcohol cotton ball, he looked up at Shao Jie who was standing there awkwardly, a little confused by this little follower: "Do you have anything else to say? "

However, before Shao Jie could answer, You Hao, who was next to him, let out a hoarse-like howl in an instant in pain.

"Ow!!"

Shao Jie, who was standing next to him consciously as a punishment, was a little at a loss at first, but now he trembled with fright at You Hao's voice, and subconsciously took half a step back—in the blink of an eye, a car roared and turned to the side road , The sound of the modified whistle pierced the eardrum, and the car body almost flew up against the ground, brushed past the rear lights of the police car, and flew straight towards Shao Jie's position.

Jiang Mo's scalp was numb, and he quickly grabbed Shao Jie's arm and squeezed it forward. The two stumbled on the side of the road and almost fell to the ground. Only then did they avoid the speeding car on the side road. run.

"How can this grandson drive a car?!" Jiang Mo broke out in cold sweat, threw off the door and pulled off the megaphone to stop the speeding modified car, but failed. The report call went directly to the traffic police detachment, and he turned around and pulled the slightly confused Shao Jie looked him up and down, "How are you? Have you met?"

Shao Jie gave Jiang Mo a dazed look, stepped on the steps by the side of the road trying to stand still, but his legs and feet couldn't control him, and he fell limply on the ground, his voice changed: "No...it's okay , I didn't meet... eh——sister, that fat man is going to run away!"

This one after another upside-down chaos hit him head-on, Jiang Mo's little patience exploded directly, he became angry on the spot, kicked the handcuffs hanging alone on the hub, and chased straight to You Hao to stop him, Seeing him limping and resisting stubbornly, he simply grabbed his knees and kicked him in the back, kicking him so that he threw himself on the ground and gnawed on the mud, hugging his head in a circle and begging for mercy: "Brother Jiang! Don't! Brother! Stop running! If you have something to say..."

"You have to be beaten to be willing to cooperate with the work-don't have too many things to grin your teeth here. I will disinfect you and you will feel pain. You howl like here at night when you kill a pig. The children can't see it and kindly help you disinfect it. Medicine, don’t be ignorant of good and evil, hum a fart, and if it hurts, I’ll come.”

Jiang Mo took out the photo and handed the phone to You Hao. Seeing that his mouth was broken, he raised his hand and slammed on the front hood of the police car. He caught a glimpse of Shao Jie who shrank his neck in shock and laughed for a moment: "I didn't scold you. , why are you always trembling?"

Hearing this, Shao Jie raised his head, raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Mo, his nose wrinkled slightly as if in protest, and he averted his gaze from Shang Jiang Mo, blinked and then lowered his head.

"Brother Jiang, with your aura of slaughtering animals, who wouldn't be afraid to see it? I was just sent to the prison by you last year, and I heard that several areas were cracking down on pornography in the past two days. You are so mysterious that you caught me as if you were catching a chicken." Yes, I have to be cautious and run before I talk..."

You Hao was not handcuffed at the moment. Before looking at the photo, he grinned and behaved to Jiang Mo. Then he held up the phone and squinted his eyes for a long time, and suddenly realized that he tapped the enlarged head on the photo with his index finger: "This is The perverted kid who was reported in the news for stalking and hurting people, right? Brother Jiang, you really did find me, I saw this kid in the store on Donglin West Road, and I'm an old acquaintance."
