Liu Handong ignored Xin Xiaowan and continued to call. He called Ma Ling more than a dozen times but did not answer the phone, so he called Wang Xing again and asked him if he knew that someone offered a reward of one million for his life.
"You are behind on the news. Now the price has risen to two million. Our lives are worth one million each." Wang Xing said carelessly, "Anyway, I have made enough money from this shot. I plan to return to the Northeast.
In my hometown, whoever dares to go to the Northeast to look for trouble, believe it or not, I will chop him to death!"
"It's okay to go out and hide. I won't send you off. Be careful along the way." Liu Handong said.
"Take care, too." Wang Xing hurriedly hung up the phone.
Liu Handong called Tan Jiaxing again and asked him to keep a low profile recently, not to contact him, let alone use the money, and wait until the limelight passed.
The last call home was made by Uncle He. Liu Handong didn't say much. He just told him that he was very busy during this period and the phone had to be turned off. He hesitated and then said that you should be more careful recently and pay attention to safety.
After making the call, he took out the SIM card of his mobile phone and threw it away, and walked towards an abandoned and unfinished construction site in the distance. Under the setting sun, the rusty tower crane towered into the clouds, overgrown with weeds, and wild cats infested. It smelled like wasteland.
"Wait for me." Xin Xiaowan hurriedly chased after me.
This is the unfinished building construction site that Liu Handong often comes to. Because it is inaccessible, there are weeds and shrubs everywhere. Unknown insects are chirping, and a solitary light is flashing in the distance.
When I walked away, I still asked him timidly: "Is there a ghost?"
"There's something wrong." Liu Handong said disdainfully.
A black wild cat jumped out of the grass and ran away. Xin Xiaowan was startled, patted her chest and said, "There is indeed a cat. It scares people to death."
When they came to the work shed downstairs, Brother Qi was not there. Liu Handong was smoking a cigarette in silence and waiting for others. Xin Xiaowan was as timid as a kitten and sat behind her, not daring to speak.
It was completely dark before Qi Qingyu appeared with a plastic bag. Looking at the construction site, he was actually wearing a white shirt and trousers. His old face was shaved ashen. He was neatly dressed and looked like a boss.
"Han Dong is here, and I just happened to buy beer and cooked vegetables. Let's drink some together."
Seeing Xin Xiaowan behind Liu Handong, she immediately smiled and said, "Hey, my younger siblings are here too."
Liu Handong said: "Brother Qi, I'd like to lend you a place to hide for two days to hide something."
Brother Qi said: "I have a big place here. You can live anywhere, for a few days. You can use everything you want. Don't be polite."
Xin Xiaowan looked at the surrounding environment, which was dark and messy. She suddenly felt creepy and unbelievable. How could humans live in such a place? Only savages can survive here.
"With no water, no electricity, no network cable, no WIFI, how can we take a bath or entertain ourselves?" Xin Xiaowan asked with her lips curled up.
Qi Qingyu laughed loudly: "Don't underestimate this wretched place like mine. I'll get you whatever you want. I'll boil bath water for you right now. I don't even need it when I come to Handong, so if you come here and make an exception, it's definitely five stars."
First-class treatment, as for entertainment...hehe."
Xin Xiaowan is very curious, is there any enjoyment comparable to the Four Seasons Hotel here?
I saw Qi Qingyu moving out a gasoline barrel with the upper half cut off, using a rubber hose to introduce well water, filling in half the barrel of water, and pulling out two wires. A hacksaw blade was connected to the end of the copper wire, and the lower half of the saw blade was immersed in the water.
, turn on the switch over there, it will quickly and slowly turn red, heating the water in the gasoline barrel.
Xin Xiaowan was stunned. This was five-star treatment, but it was too shabby.
"Turn on the power switch when the water is hot. I'll make some food." Qi Qing left in the rain. Xin Xiaowan looked at Liu Handong: "Are you going to live here?"
"What else?" Liu Handong said angrily. Ma Ling was about to break up with him and was feeling depressed.
"Okay, just live here." Xin Xiaowan said in her heart that this little hardship won't scare me.
Only then did Liu Handong remember that he had been shot. He took off his shirt and saw two pieces of iron sand embedded in his left waist. He picked them out with a Swiss Army knife and put on his clothes again as if nothing happened.
"Why don't you bandage it, put a band-aid on it or something?" Xin Xiaowan said cautiously.
"Skin and flesh wounds are nothing. The water is boiled. Don't you want to take a bath?" Liu Handong asked.
Xin Xiaowan shook her head hurriedly: "I don't want to take a bath here, with such a dirty gasoline barrel."
Liu Handong had an expression like "I've known it for a long time" and went to help Qi Qingyu cook.
Xin Xiaowan came over and took a look, and almost vomited in disgust. There were cooking things in the work shed. There were both liquefied gas stoves and induction cookers. The iron pots were still clean, there was a layer of sludge on the stove, and bottles of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
The jars were covered with dirt, the handles of the kitchen knives were rotten, and the bamboo chopsticks in the chopstick cages were pitch black.
On the table were sauced beef and fried peanuts. Qi Qingyu made a pot of noodles, picked two cucumbers, fried an eggplant, and was making tomato and egg soup. They were all the simplest home-cooked dishes.
It was unattractive for a foodie who claimed to be a gourmet, and the kitchen was too unhygienic with flies everywhere. She would not dare to eat the food prepared in such a place.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome, let's eat together." Qi Qingyu greeted warmly.
"I'm not hungry." Xin Xiaowan made up an unconvincing reason because her stomach was growling. "Leave her alone," Liu Handong said.
Qi Qingyu thought for a while, then took out a bowl of Master Kong noodles and said, "Then you can eat this. I bought it on the train last time."
Xin Xiaowan wanted to take it, but when she took a closer look, she saw it was Kang Shuaifu. She smiled and said, "I'm really not hungry. I've lost weight recently."
Qi Qingyu didn't know what to do, so he stopped greeting him. He took out two bottles of beer and was about to open the bottle caps with his teeth, but Liu Handong said, "Something strong, do you have any liquor?"
"Yes, Huaijiang Daqu Guan is enough." Qi Qingyu dragged out a whole box of liquor from under the bed.
After a drunken meal, Liu Handong was in a bad mood, because the robbery of the gambling boat was exposed, which might bring disaster to his family, and he would have to risk his own life if he didn't.
Qi Qingyu saw that he was in a bad mood and asked him: "What happened?"
"After a deal was made, things became very big," Liu Handong said.
"I only ask you one thing. If you had it to do over again, would you make any other choice? Think about it seriously." Qi Qingyu stared at him with bright eyes.
Liu Handong thought about it seriously. If time could go back to before the robbery of the gambling boat, he would probably still kill him, but he would be more ruthless. He would directly beat Zhang Zongwei to death, and then spread the suspicion and draw out the clues.
elsewhere.
Suddenly, he had an idea. He and Wang Xing were hooded during the robbery. It was impossible for Zhang Zongwei to recognize them. They must have been blind. Why not come up with a plan to move the disaster eastward, maybe they could survive the desperate situation.
Qi Qingyu saw the change in his eyes and knew that he had figured it out, so he raised his glass and said: "Drink!"
"Drink!" Liu Handong raised his glass and downed it in one gulp, then picked up the cigarette case on the table and popped out a cigarette, "Brother Qi has gone up a level, China, starts with 3."
Qi Qingyu said: "I went out to run something recently, so I couldn't do it without bringing a pack of cigarettes. By the way, that woman is your wife?"
"Does it look like it to you?" Liu Handong asked, looking back at Xin Xiaowan, who was sitting upstairs watching the moon.
"This woman was born with peach blossom eyes. It's not easy. You may not be able to control it," Qi Qingyu said.
"Oh, brother, can you read faces?" Liu Handong asked curiously.
Qi Qingyu smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to read faces. I just come into contact with too many people. I used to know a construction director who had a second wife. He also had such peach-shaped eyes. Within two years, the director became double-registered. Why, because he had a second wife?
Corruption and bribery, a bit too much force, overreaching and offending people who shouldn't be offended."
Liu Handong secretly praised Qi Qingyu's sharp eyes, even Xin Xiaowan could tell that she was a mistress.
The two bottles of liquor were empty, and Liu Handong wanted to drink more. Qi Qingyu persuaded him: "Drink less, alcohol can cause sexual disorder."
Liu Handong just gave up. It was getting late and he was about to wash up and go to sleep. There was no running water on the construction site, but he saw the machine-made well he had dug. The water in the well was crystal clear. He poured a bucket on his head. It was extremely satisfying.
After washing away the sweat and dust, Liu Handong went upstairs to sleep. There was a mat spread on the floor. There was no pillow or quilt. It was extremely shabby.
Xin Xiaowan walked over quietly, like a cat in the dark night.
"How can I sleep here? It's so dirty." Xin Xiaowan said pitifully.
Liu Handong took a few newspapers and spread them out far away, fell on them and fell asleep, leaving the mat to Xin Xiaowan.
"What should I do if I don't have a pillow? Hey, help me get a pillow and some toilet water. There are a lot of mosquitoes here. Look at my legs. I've been bitten by several. And I'm hungry. Help me get some bread. There's chili.
Is it oily? I like spicy food..."
"If you keep chirping, believe it or not, I will rape you!" Liu Handong shouted violently.
Xin Xiaowan curled her lips and was about to cry. Seeing that Liu Handong ignored him, she quietly went downstairs. It was dark all around. Qi Qingyu went to patrol the night with a flashlight. There was no one in the work shed. Xin Xiaowan took Kang Shuaifu Cup Noodles and soaked them in boiling water.
After devouring the food, he turned on the switch again, heated the water in the gasoline barrel again, turned off the switch when it was hot, took off his clothes and crawled in to soak, lying down comfortably, with the autumn insects whispering around, and the stars in the sky dotting the sky, which made Xin Xiaowan
Thinking back to my experience in a hot spring bath in Hokkaido last year, bathing in a gasoline barrel at a construction site was quite unique.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the large weeds whirred and swayed as if they were hiding thousands of troops. The clouds covered the stars and everything was pitch black.
Walk upstairs.
A small black shadow flashed across the corner of the wall. It was an ugly black-haired mouse. Xin Xiaowan's scalp exploded. She held her head and screamed. The shrill voice was like a comet streaking across the night sky.
Although Liu Handong drank a bottle of white wine, he fell asleep because of something on his mind. He was awakened by the screams, grabbed a loaded pistol and rushed over. He saw a snow-white plaster statue of Venus standing under the moonlight.
No, it’s a real person, Xin Xiaowan without any clothes.
