Obviously I can't have these pants. Fortunately, Sangou brought a change of clothes and pants.
It seems that the three dogs are still a little reluctant to leave.
"Okay, okay. Don't you think you should be glad that he's okay?"
Sangou said with a sad face: "My father bought these pants for me during the Chinese New Year."
"Let Uncle San buy you another one later."
"I don't know which year it was." Sangou obviously had little confidence in his father.
At this time, Jiang Yue's cell phone rang.
"Jiang Yue? I have your express delivery. I'll be downstairs at your house right away. Please pick it up."
express delivery?
Jiang Yue rarely does online shopping. Basically, his sister Jiang Ying is responsible for everything he needs to buy at home. His sister has the habit of online shopping, but she always writes her own name and phone number, and most of her address is the company address.
I went downstairs and the courier guy just arrived.
The express delivery was very light and almost weightless. Jiang Yue guessed what kind of document it should be, or an advertising flyer or something?
But who is so bored that advertising leaflets are sent by express delivery?
Jiang Yue entered the elevator, opened a hole, and slipped out a piece of paper three fingers wide.
To be precise, this thing cannot be called a piece of paper. It is a piece of slightly textured yellow paper with some strange symbols drawn on it. Each stroke seems to contain some deep meaning.
This thing is very common in rural areas.
It is clearly a paper charm that many rural people hang in front of their houses or stick on door panels to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.
However, unlike those crudely made paper talismans in the countryside, this paper talisman is so light and weightless when placed in the palm of your hand, but it always feels like it contains some unexplainable mystery.
Just like real beautiful jade, when put together with hard stones, the advantages and disadvantages will appear.
It doesn't even need to be set off by hard rocks, the unique temperament can be seen at a glance as long as you are not blind.
"There are words on the back.
Villa No. 9, Daozi Lane, Elm Street.
Jiang Yue held the paper talisman and felt a little strange.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the elevator, otherwise there might have been some misunderstanding.
While Jiang Yue was stunned, something strange happened.
The surface of the paper talisman suddenly emitted a faint golden halo, and the paper talisman seemed to be driven by some strange force and slowly lifted up.
The light golden halo rolled gently, and the paper talisman suddenly atomized, and the spots on it gradually disappeared into nothingness. The talisman on the paper talisman seemed to have passed through the skin of Jiang Yue's palm and penetrated into the flesh and blood of his palm.
Among them, it became a brand in his palm.
For a moment, Jiang Yue felt an absurd and inexplicable feeling in his body and mind.
My whole body was shaken, as if my body and soul had experienced an electric shock at the same time.
In this moment, Jiang Yue seemed to have entered a strange world, and it was as if a strange world had entered his body.
Ding!
The beep of the elevator arriving at the floor clearly told him that this was the real world.
Looking at the mark on the palm again, it has long since disappeared.
For no reason, that piece of paper talisman floated in his mind, with a few words floating on it:
24 hours.
Jiang Yue was shocked, what is going on?
The handwriting only stayed in my mind for a few seconds and then disappeared.
Afterwards, no matter how much Jiang Yue teased or tossed her, there was no more movement.
This series of events happened so unexpectedly that Jiang Yue was stunned at the door for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
I had to calm down, open the door and enter the house.
The thick-lined Sangou had long forgotten about his trousers, and was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with a remote control in one hand and potato chips in the other, happily watching a variety show called "Ladies Who Hang Straight on the Clouds".
If you don’t have any experience with this show, you really can’t get into it.
According to Jiang Yue's observation, if there is such a thing as experience, the Three Dogs must not exist.
His focus is mostly on the young ladies’ thighs and their fair flesh.
It is also a kind of happiness to be able to have such heartless fun like Sangou.
Jiang Yue didn't want to ruin Sangou's happiness, so he had no intention of telling him about the express delivery.
After looking through the express bag, there was nothing else inside. In other words, the person who sent him this express only sent him a strange paper charm.
What kind of weird operation is this?
Look at the sender again, there is none!
Isn’t this operation too cool? You don’t even leave the sender’s name and address when sending something?
Isn't express delivery very formal now? Why is it so careless?
Jiang Yue turned on his phone and checked the express delivery number.
The result was that the order number was not found!
I can't even find the tracking number, and even if I call the courier company, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell the reason. The clues are almost cut off at this point, and it's difficult to renew.
If you want to solve the puzzle, I'm afraid you can only...
Villa No. 9, Daozi Lane, Elm Street.
Jiang Yue silently remembered the name of this place.
Elm Street is one of the top three business districts in Star City, and Jiang Yue knows about it.
As for the villa at No. 9 Daozi Lane, it is a bit over the top for a child from an ordinary family living in a building.
What made him feel even more strange were those words.
24 hours?
What does this mean? Is it revealing a clue? Or is it a warning of some kind of crisis?
Or do I have to go to Villa No. 9, Daozi Lane within 24 hours?
"Second brother, what kind of express delivery?" Sangou asked casually.
"Advertising flyer." Jiang Yue answered casually.
"Who can eat so much? You can wipe your butt with that thing and think it's so diarrhoea. Why spend money to send it by express delivery?" Sangou sneered.
Jiang Yue didn't respond.
Looking at the time, it was already past 12:30, and there was no time to buy groceries and cook.
Jiang Yue went into the kitchen and made two bowls of noodles, braised them with the snacks that his sister-in-law had stuffed in her bag, and ate them happily.
Only a bowl of noodles made Sangou extremely satisfied with life in the city.
"Second brother, why don't you let me stay in the city. I really don't want to go back to the city."
"Is your skin itchy again?"
"Second brother, listen to me. As long as you take me in, I will work for you from now on." Sangou shamelessly said.
"I'm not used to working as a child. Go back to town and read your book."
"You can kill me. Books make my head hurt just looking at them. I don't know whether it's me reading them or them reading me."
"How about we talk to elder sister about this later?" Jiang Yue smiled half-heartedly.
"Don't..." Sangou's face immediately turned green when he heard the words eldest sister.
Sangou's eldest sister, Jiang Yue's biological sister, is three years older than Jiang Yue. Due to family circumstances, she left school two years ago and entered society. Now she works in a real estate agency.
The free-spirited three dogs are not afraid of the sky or the earth, but they are as afraid of their eldest sister as a tiger.
If my sister-in-law can barely be considered a strong woman, my eldest sister can be called a strong woman plus.
The female dolls of Lao Jiang's family have the same origin, and they have a fierceness in their bones that is not to be outdone by men.
Most of my sister-in-law's bravery is reflected in her mouth, and she won't show mercy when she opens her mouth.
As for the eldest sister's fierceness, she doesn't show off her strength at ordinary times, but when provoked, she can really beat people up.
Sangou has never been beaten by his biological father in recent years, nor by his sister-in-law, nor even by Jiang Yue, but he has been beaten by his eldest sister Fatty.
Sangou is very naughty in school, and under normal circumstances the eldest sister will not take action against him.
The reason for that beating was that Sangou had lost his bottom line.
I don't know where he made the mistake. He put a snake in the schoolbag of a female classmate, which scared her so much that she peed her pants on the spot. She was hospitalized for several days and almost lost her mind.
As a result, my sister-in-law had to wait in the hospital carrying feces and urine for several days without sleeping.
When the eldest sister received the call, she put down what she was doing, borrowed a colleague's car, and drove hundreds of miles to the school in the town.
I also picked a cane on the way, and as soon as I parked my car, I chased and beat three dogs all over the school, until they rolled on the ground and begged for mercy.
After the fight, the female classmate’s parents witnessed it with their own eyes and were too embarrassed to continue the fight, so they finally settled the matter by paying some money.
Although Sangou refused to change his stubbornness, he finally understood what the bottom line was. At the same time, he respected and feared his eldest sister.
If he had to tell his eldest sister that he would no longer go to school, God knows if her eldest sister would beat him again.
The Jiang family has a very strict upbringing and disciplines young children as a matter of course. Beatings are a matter of course.
Speaking of the eldest sister, Sangou also languished and ate the noodles absentmindedly.
While I was eating, my phone rang again.
"Hello? Li Yue?" This call was a bit unexpected. It was actually from my schoolmate Li Yue. This girl usually blushed and was shy even when she looked at people, so she took the initiative to call him. This was the first time in my memory.
"It's...it's me..."
"Are you... okay?" Li Yue stammered.
"Ah? I'm fine? I'm having lunch." On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yue could feel Li Yue's nervousness.
"Oh, it's okay then. Dudududu..."
Jiang Yue was holding the cell phone with a confused look on his face. The call was so confusing.
How rare it is for Li Yue to take the initiative to make a phone call! Jiang Yue thought it was something big, but in the end he just said these two words and then hung up?
To use an inelegant analogy, it feels like I have taken off my pants and you are just looking at this?
Ding ding dong!
A WeChat message prompt jumped out of the screen.
It's Li Yue.
"I just saw the news on my phone that a landslide near Dajin Mountain buried the bus. I was worried that you were on the bus."
Jiang Yue suddenly realized, okay, this explanation finally makes sense.
As expected of my deskmate, he is indeed a conscientious person.
However, this happened yesterday. How long is your reflex arc?
Or did you just see the news? How attentive are you to studying? Do you also study so hard at home during the holidays?
"It's okay for me. I took a ride back to the city this morning. Thank you for your concern, my deskmate."
After sending the message, put down the phone and continue eating noodles.
Sangou pulled the noodles and stared at Jiang Yue with a weird smile on his face.
"What? Can't eat?"
"Okay, second brother, you can pretend very well. Your face is not red."
"Are you sick? Why are you blushing?"
"Hey, girlfriend?"
puff!
Jiang Yuegang's noodles almost squirted out of his mouth, and his hair didn't even grow. He actually wanted to pretend to be an experienced driver?
Seeing this, Sangou got even more excited and slapped his chopsticks on the table: "Look, this is a sign of guilty conscience. Second brother, tell me, what does my future sister-in-law look like? Is her skin white?"
?Is your butt big?”
Jiang Yue looked at the bowl and then at Sangou's forehead.
"Sangou, do you believe it or not, I put all this bowl of noodles on your head?"
"A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands. Second brother, you can't bully the small with your big brother." Sangou moved his butt back and hid at a safe distance.
"You boy, it seems I have to send you back as soon as possible."
"Send me back and I'll tell my eldest sister about your secret smoking." Sangou chuckled.
"It won't work if you tell eldest sister..."
All right!
It actually works.
Jiang Yue compromised.
I really can’t let my sister know about this. Otherwise, it will cause my sister to go berserk and become violent, and the consequences will be really unimaginable.
Jiang Yue is actually not very addicted to cigarettes. It can even be said that he is not addicted to cigarettes. The reason why he smokes one from time to time is actually because he has something on his mind.
Ordinarily, what should a student have to worry about besides studying?
On the contrary, Jiang Yue has never been troubled in his studies. Although both his parents disappeared, as intellectuals, the genes they left behind are still very strong.
Especially in Jiang Yue, it is very obvious.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Yue had a super-powerful ability, a photographic memory.
From kindergarten until now, I have definitely been cheating academically.
Others' success is one percent genius and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Jiang Yue's academic performance is definitely one percent sweat and ninety-nine percent talent.
In terms of academics, since he was a child, he has never encountered any opponents that he can beat.
In this regard, God definitely favors him.
His troubles come from his family.
My mother disappeared mysteriously, and my father left home inexplicably.
Anyone of Jiang Yue's age would inevitably feel frustrated.
Over the years, Jiang Yue has never confided in anyone, and has never shown any negative emotions in front of others.
However, somewhere deep in his heart, there was always a knot that the sun could not shine through.
Everyone thought he had resigned himself to his fate long ago, but——
Jiang Yue's heart has never, never accepted this fate!
