first marriage

midsummer.Yucheng, where the temperature difference between day and night is not big, is unbearably hot even in the early morning.When Xu Wen got out of the air-conditioned taxi, he was swept away by the heat wave. In addition, he was prone to sweating due to the accumulation of fat in his body. He was sweating all over while standing on the side of the road waiting for the taxi driver to give change. As if just out of the water!

Xu Wen repeatedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched anxiously as the driver tidied up the change, and unintentionally glanced at the alley where he was going home, and immediately became vigilant.

In that dark alley with no street lights, there were two peanut-sized flames flickering. When Xu Wen looked over, the flames suddenly fell to the ground and went out!

"Young man, the change—" the taxi driver stretched out his hand holding the change for a long time, and when he saw Xu Wen staring blankly into the distance, he reminded him aloud.

Only then did Xu Wen come back to his senses, turned around, took the change, and put it in his pocket.

The middle-aged driver glanced in the direction Xu Wen was looking at, and kindly reminded, "It's late at night, be careful."

"Okay! Thank you." Xu Wen nodded and smiled.

The taxi drove away through the night.

Xu Wen took a deep breath, walked out of the circle of light cast by the street lamps on the street, and walked into the dilapidated alley that was incompatible with the surrounding streets.

Xu Wen walked this alley no less than hundreds of times.He grew up here since he was a child, even with his eyes closed, he can feel his way back to his home.

But at this moment, he took out his old mobile phone, turned on the screen, and walked forward carefully with the help of the faint light of the screen.

As he walked, he carefully took the light around his body.

The neighbors in the low house had all rested, and not even the housekeeper barked.

In the quiet alley, there was only the sound of Xu Wen occasionally kicking empty soda cans that were randomly thrown on the side of the road.

The boy frowned and continued to walk forward slowly.

Just when he thought that the light spots he saw before were delusional or delusional, the faint light from the phone hit a corner where...a lot of cigarette butts were thrown.

Xu Wen recalled the peanut-like light, and suddenly understood!

Someone has been lurking here for a long time, waiting or checking for something... so many cigarette butts have accumulated.

The light of his mobile phone didn't stay on those cigarette butts for a long time, even... He seemed to have never seen those cigarette butts at all. He walked forward calmly, but his ears were completely pricked up, like a nocturnal cat.

Amidst the rustling sound of the soles rubbing against the ground, Xu Wen caught the slight sound of footsteps.

That is definitely not issued by normal people walking!The owner of the footsteps should have deliberately controlled the strength of his feet on the ground so as not to reveal his whereabouts.

Xu Wen didn't look back, he walked home at a normal pace, secretly analyzing the footsteps following behind him, and judged that there was more than one person following him.

The alley is covered by high-rise buildings all the year round, without sunlight, and it is cooler than other places.

In particular, as soon as he walked into the alley, there was a draft. The young man walking in it should feel cool, but Xu Wen's forehead was sweating more and more.

He held the phone tightly, resisting the desire to call Xu's mother again, to confirm whether Xu's mother is safe or not, and try to persuade himself not to show panic or fear, so as not to startle the snake.

Finally, he saw the small front of his house and the bright lights of the low attic on the front.
