Snowflakes were constantly drifting in from the holes in the house, and the icy wind was blowing from the river. Suddenly, when he saw the man enduring pain under the dim light, Mu Qingqing was stunned for a moment and ran over quickly.
"Hey you……"
As a criminal police officer for so many years, she had seen many painful or uncomfortable scenes with her own eyes. However, seeing the man clenching his teeth on the ground, his whole body shaking violently, and even his gums oozing blood, she still
I felt a palpitation in my heart. In any case, this must be very painful. If I didn't experience it myself, it would be unimaginable. As soon as my hand touched the other person's body, in this harsh winter, it felt as hot as a furnace. No matter what, it should be considered
Extremely abnormal phenomenon.
"Hello……"
She originally felt that the man was not wearing much clothes, but after pushing it a few times, he felt even thinner. The hot feeling all over his body became more intense, and he was sweating like rain, as if all the blood in his body was boiling. She was deeply moved.
After taking a few breaths, he walked to the door and took out his cell phone.
"Hey, is the person on duty today...Xiaochi? My name is Mu Qingqing. Call an ambulance for me right away. What's the number on Fuchi's Yanjiang Road? Just tell them to come here quickly. Along the river
There is a two-story small building next to it. It is a dangerous building. I will wait here..."
She finished the phone call and stood on the stairs to take another breath of air. When she turned around, she was surprised to find that the man in the room had almost recovered. He was holding his hands on the ground and was breathing heavily.
Sweat dripped down his face.
"This is……"
She stood at the door and watched for a while. The man probably took more than half a minute to adjust his breathing, and the sweat on his forehead stopped pouring out. Then he stood up staggeringly, stood there in shock for more than ten seconds, and picked up the
He picked up a bucket and went to the water pipe in the corner of the house to collect some water. Then he picked up the towel hanging next to it and threw it in. Then he washed his face with cold water. At night like this, the cold water would freeze after being left outside for a long time.
Although it was ice, he didn't seem to care about the temperature of the water at all. After washing, he could faintly see heat steaming from his face.
Mu Qingqing opened his mouth and looked at all this. This man was in good health. After having such a headache, he could still suffer like this. After washing his face, he hung up the towel. He walked back to the light again, picked up the knife and started.
He cut the chestnut shells one by one without even looking at her from beginning to end.
It’s not clear what the other party’s mental state is. But if he continues to be tortured like this every day without his family around, he will probably be driven crazy. Mu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief at the door. A few minutes later, the rescuer
The lights of the car appeared in the night...
As time goes by, the snow is still falling, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Occasionally it stops for a while. Yujiang is close to a mountainous area. There are no large industrial cities nearby, and snow is very common every year. But it is still falling continuously like this year.
It is a shocking situation. Many shacks in the suburbs have collapsed. There is still more than a week before the Chinese New Year, and the situation in the Public Security Bureau is polarized. Some people are ready to put down their work to celebrate the New Year, while others have become more
I was busier before.
Mu Qingqing is still tracing the whereabouts of Yutou and the others. The day before yesterday, he found out the hidden address of the other party. However, when he rushed over, he found that the other party had escaped. The clues were broken again. However, he also roughly learned
Part of the matter is that at least the other party has not escaped. In addition, Yutou was shot randomly by her and was seriously injured. There is no formal treatment these days. It is probably too painful to endure it. After combining all the clues, Mu Qing
Qing also sighed: "I have survived until now, and my life is really hard."
After receiving this news, she breathed a sigh of relief, not because Yutou was not dead, but because if the other party was carrying a seriously ill person, he would definitely not be able to run far. No matter how long you played this hide-and-seek game, you would eventually be caught by yourself.
come out.
In the past few days, in addition to sorting out limited clues every day, meditating in a daze, and taking people into suspicious areas to conduct simple investigations, there was another thing Mu Qingqing was also doing after get off work. She bought two quilts, some Warm clothing, gloves and other items were delivered to a small building by the river, chosen after ten o'clock in the evening.
The two sides still couldn't communicate. While she was laying down the bedding and putting away the clothes next to her, the man was scratching the chestnut shells under the light, ignoring her and not caring that there was suddenly someone else at home. Mu Qingqing
She is not a warm-hearted person by nature. If a normal person treated her with such an indifferent attitude, she would have walked away long ago. It's just that the other person is a fool, and after all, he did him a favor, just like most ordinary people.
Likewise, we do good deeds just so that we can feel at ease. At this time, she has at least done everything she can do.
The ambulance that arrived that night didn't have any effect. The reason was that they couldn't communicate at all. Naturally, they couldn't force the other party to go to the hospital. The brain problem was too complicated. Without a detailed diagnosis, the doctor naturally didn't dare to make a random decision.
, but casually introduced two drugs that can suppress headaches and have no side effects, but that is meaningless. How can you let a fool who can't communicate at all take medicine? Mu Qingqing doesn't have any free time to be a nanny.
In the past few days, the other party has not been sick again.
After going to the small building several times, Mu Qingqing was a little worried. Every time she went there, the small building looked crumbling. Besides, the snow has been getting thicker and thicker these days. I really don't know when this dangerous building will be destroyed.
Will collapse.
Her worries were well-founded, and after another day, this worry finally became a reality. When she went to work that morning, at seven o'clock, the trolley had not yet appeared at the market entrance. Fortunately, at nine o'clock in the morning
When she passed by, the car and the fool were finally there. In the afternoon, she took some time to go to the river and found that the entire building had collapsed and snow covered the ruins. It seemed as if it had happened yesterday.
.
"Auntie, when did that small building... collapse?" she asked the aunt who ran the canteen next to her.
"Well, he fell to the ground yesterday afternoon."
"Then...that fool who sells sugar-fried chestnuts. Where did he stay last night?"
"He, he gave us a big scare this morning. He parked his car on the side of the road and slept like that all night. His body was almost covered with snow. I opened the door this morning and saw him. I thought he was
He died like this... You know, it's hard for those beggars to survive the winter. Who knew that he shook off the snow on his body and actually got up again. You said this young man is in really good health, but if he is like this
If you go on, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to survive for a few days, ugh..."
Mu Qingqing was also shocked. She didn't expect that guy could survive in the snow all night. After standing next to the collapsed building and thinking for a long time, she returned to the police station and asked about a place where homeless people could be sheltered.
. But thinking about it, it didn’t seem to be suitable for this person who seemed to have a clear sense of self and never communicated with others. After thinking about it for a long time, she went to the market entrance at around nine o’clock in the evening.
In the white snow, the light was still on under the street lamp. She walked over and looked at the man selling sugar-roasted chestnuts for a long time. His hair was a little messy and his facial features were ordinary. It looked like he was still in the crowd.
He looked lost. When he lowered his head and thought about things, his expression was slightly melancholy. He looked like a company employee with no ambition and little success. He also looked like a shy boy thinking about the girl he had a crush on. He remembered that he was in the snow.
After sleeping all night, she walked to the cart and said, "I want to buy something."
Wait until the other person stands up, reach out your hand and put it against their forehead.
"Eight yuan and a pound, how much does it cost?"
"You're not sick at all. Your health is really good..."
With such a sigh, she waited for the time to be close to ten o'clock. The other party packed up her things and prepared to push the cart away. She ran over and held the handle on one side.
"Go this way, go this way."
The man looked at her lightly.
Seeing this look, and remembering the shovel on that rainy night, Mu Qingqing felt a little frightened. He was always on guard against the other party pulling the shovel towards him, waving his hands, and trying his best to signal as expressively as possible.
"The place where you live has been demolished. If it is demolished, you can no longer live in it. Do you know that I will find a place for you to live, otherwise you will freeze to death... I want to help. Do you understand? I can help you.
Okay, I'll take you to another place..."
She said this over and over again several times. She felt that she was really stupid, and then tried hard to push the car up. She didn't know if her nagging over and over again had an effect. The other person let go of the handle and stood there watching.
Holding her hand, she pushed the car down the sidewalk with difficulty.
"come."
She originally wanted to take this fool away, but who knew that he was actually watching from the side. The car sank a bit in the snow. Mu Qingqing hated herself a little. Her second-hand Mercedes-Benz couldn't start in such weather.
, I went there for maintenance the day before yesterday, otherwise I could use a car to tow the cart back. However, now that she had started to do it, she had no habit of backing off. She gritted her teeth and pushed it across the street, panting from exhaustion.
My right shoulder also started to feel a dull pain, probably because the place where I was shot was affected again.
"Come and give me a push too..."
There was a small slope ahead. Mu Qingqing was affected by a gunshot wound and had been a little weak recently. After pushing for a while, his feet slipped and he was about to fall down. At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed one of the slopes.
Mu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and pushed forward. He felt a lot more relaxed. This guy is so strong...
"This way, this way..."
"Turn left ahead..."
"Take the next bend and go right, go straight..."
On the street near midnight, cars occasionally drove by. The two people pushed the small car and gradually left the avenue. Next to them were thick snow and the shade of trees under the street lights. About twenty minutes later, they arrived under a building.
, Mu Qingqing parked the cart in the carport downstairs, then took out a sack of chestnuts from the cart and asked the fool to take it. He held his sleeve and opened the door of a room on the first floor.
"I live in this room. This room is usually empty anyway. If you live here, you can use the living room, the bathroom and the kitchen... Anyway, I won't open the kitchen. There are knives, benches, and buckets here. You can
You’ll live here for the time being, and I’ll find a better place for you to move out. I don’t understand...it’s up to you, just do whatever you want, just don’t enter my bedroom..."
This is the house assigned to her by the bureau. It has two bedrooms and one living room. It is quite spacious and has a bathroom and kitchen. The important thing is that it does not cost money. The bedroom next to it is usually empty except for her sister or mother who comes to stay for one night. Because
The two sides couldn't communicate, so she said it over and over again, and then patted her head helplessly. Whatever, she had done her best, what else could she do?
She was so tired that she went into the bathroom and took a shower. When she came out, she saw the idiot sitting in the corner of the living room quietly handling chestnuts. She breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the room, locked the door, and changed the medicine on her shoulder.
Fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The pistol was under the pillow.
On January 12, 2004, the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, a week before New Year’s Eve, a somewhat weird cohabitation life began——
