After taking the roasted duck into the house, Hongyu and I sat on the bench in the main room and cut the duck open with a dagger. To be honest, it tasted terrible and had no taste at all. People said that everything tasted delicious when you were hungry, but I got tired of this duck after just two bites.
The food that this boy Hongyu ate tasted quite delicious. There were already bones left in the duck legs and wings.
"Is it delicious?" I asked him.
Hongyu nodded, "It's delicious, why don't you eat it?"
My stomach growled, and I sighed and ate the duck legs. Suddenly, the big white cat in the bedroom came out and hid at the door looking at Hongyu and me. It must have been hungry too, so I twisted the duck's neck. He dropped it and threw it over. The big white cat meowed and leaned over to sniff it.
"Eat it, it's not poisonous," I said, and the big white cat picked up the duck's neck and entered the house.
In the end, he finished the duck. Hongyu leaned on the bench and handed me a cigarette, "Brother Chen, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow," I thought for a while. I had many ideas about my plans for tomorrow, but ideas were just ideas after all. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I just want to sleep now." I clamped the cigarette to my ear and leaned against it. Looking at the candles on the big table on the bench, Hongyu said no more, leaned on the other side and closed his eyes...
I was woken up by the ringing of my mobile phone. My eyes were sore and painful. I didn’t know when I fell asleep. My whole body was shaking with cold. I took out my mobile phone and looked at it. It was a call from Pingping. I looked at the time again. It was already It's 4 o'clock in the morning.
I dialed the number, and Pingping picked up the phone and asked me, "Chen, where are you?"
"I'm in my old house. Hongyu and I are together. Are you and Sister Jing in the car?" I took off the cigarette from my ear and lit it.
Pingping hummed and said in a low voice: "Sister Jing and I just got on the bus, everything is fine..." Pingping was silent for a while and then said: "Chen, you must be careful and pay attention to safety. We checked here at the station. It’s quite strict, I’ll wait for you over there,”
"Don't worry, you and Sister Jing should be safe on the train. Do you have a seat?"
"Yes, the two of us are sleepers,"
I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and my phone sounded a low-battery sound, "My phone is almost out of battery. Please pay attention to your safety. I will find a way to keep in touch with you. Don't worry,"
Just as I was about to hang up the phone, Pingping called me again.
"What's wrong,"
Pingping said something to me in a low voice on the phone, which made me feel sleepy all of a sudden. After listening, I hummed and hung up the phone.
Hongyu yawned, hugged his shoulders tightly with his hands and looked at me, "Who called?"
"Pingping,"
I put my phone in my pocket, then continued to lean on the bench and closed my eyes. This night was really a tough night. Not only was my body exhausted, but it was also very cold. I don’t know where Brother Biao and the others are now. Thinking of this, I He opened his eyes and said to Hongyu, "Use your mobile phone to call Brother Biao and the others to ask about the situation."
"Yes, right away," Hongyu took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
After waiting for a few seconds, Hongyu smiled and said, "Brother Biao, where are you?"
"You don't know how to drive anywhere,"
"Well...well, Brother Chen and I are together. Okay, let's do this for now. You guys should pay attention. You must pay attention to your safety."
Hongyu hung up the phone and looked at me with a smile, "Brother Biao doesn't even know where he is. The only thing he is sure of is that he has left the province now."
"Okay, don't worry when you leave the province. Just keep walking south. I'm taking a nap, so don't disturb me. Let's talk about what to do next when I wake up."
Hongyu sighed, then turned around, "Go to sleep, I didn't sleep well either. It would be nice if I had a quilt. My waist is so small."
I sighed and reached out to cover the easily treated wound. Fortunately, it was just a flesh wound. If the bones were injured, they would be dead. Suddenly I felt very lost and depressed. I was so depressed that I really wanted to find someone to give me a good beating. A meal.
I stayed on the bench until dawn, but I still didn't get a good rest. My eyes were very dry, my hair was greasy and itchy, and my whole body was so dirty.
Hongyu stretched and suddenly called out, "Brother Chen, I didn't know last night. I only discovered that your roof is made of wooden beams this morning."
"Why, you hate how poor my family was at that time,"
Hongyu chuckled, "I'm a little poor, but it's okay if I'm not poor now."
I sneered, then walked to the water pipe and washed my face with water. There were a lot of weeds in the yard. There was a pile of wooden boxes against the wall on the east side of the yard. I forgot when this was made. They were probably filled with all kinds of junk. Abandoned by my parents.
Just when I was about to go over and take a look, my phone suddenly rang. I thought it was Brother Biao or Pingping, but I took out my phone and found out it was that beauty An Ning. This girl must have missed me. I don’t know if we haven’t seen each other for so long. How is she doing?
"Hey, An Ning..."
Before I finished speaking, An Ning shouted on the other side of the phone, "Liu Chen... where are you?"
Listening to this tone, you know something is wrong, otherwise this girl would not talk to me in this tone, and she also called me by my name, "I am in Z city, what's wrong? You are, who is bullying me?" You're such a beautiful woman, tell me and I'll vent your anger on your behalf."
I could even hear An Ning's breathing. This girl seemed very angry, "Speak, what's wrong? Did Uncle An criticize you again?"
An Ning angrily said loudly to me again: "Don't tell me, right? I'll ask you one last time, where are you?"
It seemed that something big had really happened. I had an ominous premonition for the first time. Could it be? I tentatively asked her, "An Ning, I'm really in Z city. What's wrong with you? This is my mobile phone." The battery is almost out, please tell me quickly,"
"Okay," An Ning said angrily, "Today's newspapers are all about your name. Such a big thing happened and the police are looking for you everywhere. Don't you know? They burned down other people's stores. You also injured two people with a gun, attacked the police, and burned down the police car. Is this your doing?"
I continued to listen to An Ning complaining loudly on the phone. I had expected this to be spread, but I didn't expect it to be in the newspapers so soon. I guess TV news would also broadcast the scene. Could it be that I, Liu Chen, would So popular.
"Hey, are you listening to me? I'm asking you a question," An Ning called. I knew she cared about me very much. She was also very worried about such a big thing happening this time.
I sighed deeply, "Yeah, I did it. Those people asked for it. Don't get angry, don't be angry, just leave it like that. I'll contact you when I have time." I hung up the phone. , because I feel that I don’t need to talk too much to her, and it’s useless to explain more. Now I am a wanted person. As for where to go, where to go, I will plan it. If God really doesn’t give it, I want to save my face, so just let me in.
Hongyu looked at me and asked doubtfully: "Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
"What else can we do? Our story has been everywhere in newspapers and news. We are famous." I lit a cigarette and leaned against the door.
Hongyu shook his head and squatted at the door, "I also expected it, what should we do now,"
"What should I do, I..."
Suddenly I thought about the phone again. When I took it out, I didn’t dare to answer it because the name on the phone was my mother’s phone number. What should I do? I looked at the phone in confusion and hesitated for a long time until I hung up. But in just two seconds, my mother called again. Tears already came out of my eyes. Hongyu stood up and stared at the phone in my hand, "Brother Chen, I'll call Auntie. Won't……"
I answered, "Mom..."
"Mom... I'm sorry... I..."
My mother choked up after saying a few words on the phone. I tried not to cry, but tears still streamed down my face, "Mom, I can't surrender, I really can't..."
My mother once again persuaded me to admit my mistake. No matter what the sentence was, I wanted to find connections to help me reduce my sentence. As she talked, my mother cried very loudly. It hurt my heart to hear it, and my heart was like a knife.
"Mom, please stop crying. I will go home. Can you please stop crying? I was also forced to do these things. I..."
The phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down. I held the phone tightly in my hand, crouched down with my head down, tears streaming down my face. My parents are just a child like me. If I go in, I will definitely not be punished lightly. ,No...I absolutely cannot be found by the police.
I wiped my tears, put my phone in my pocket, and looked at Hongyu beside me. He also started crying. I guess this kid felt uncomfortable too. I patted the dust on my body and stretched out my hand to wipe away the snot from my crying nose. He dropped it and threw it to the ground. His eyes were probably a little swollen. He walked to the water pipe and flushed his face with cold water. "Hongyu, let's go. Follow me to Dihao."
"Where to go?" Hongyu was a little surprised.
I said to him with certainty: "Go to Dihao, let's hide there first, and then make another plan."
Hongyu asked with some worry: "Are you going now? Will you be discovered by others if you go in broad daylight?"
I walked towards the pile of wooden boxes on the east wall and saw that there were some old leather bags and some discarded plastic bottles inside. I jumped on them just in time to climb up the wall. "Let's go. It's okay to follow me."
"Okay, wait for me," Hongyu ran over and followed me out of the fence. I looked around. There was no one else moving outside the village this early in the morning. Following a path to the south, You can go directly to the Panlong River outside the village, and walk straight from the river to the outer ring road leading to the city.
The two of us were walking by the river. As we walked, I was thinking about whether Yaoyao also knew about me at this time. If she knew, how would she feel now? If she knew, how would she feel? No...I don't even dare to think about the ending.
After walking along the river for about half an hour, I led Hongyu up the river to the outer ring road. There were not many cars on the road. Just as the two of us were walking, a taxi stopped. After we got off, a middle-aged man in the car honked his horn at the two of us, raised his head and asked: "Are you taking a taxi? Where are you going?"
I waved to him without looking directly at him, "No,"
The driver drove away, and Hongyu said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, how far is it from here to Dihao? It would be faster to find a car."
"We can't use the car, something will happen. Don't forget that there are radios and radio stations in the taxis. They can talk to each other about a lot of major events that happened recently. We can't be remembered by others, do you understand?"
