When Liu Yang, Zhou Xiaomei, and Meng Meng arrived at the hospital, Qin Haixiao's wounds had already been treated and ten stitches were needed.
"Are you stupid? You even rushed up with a kitchen knife?" Liu Yang blamed Qin Haixiao distressedly.
Qin Haixiao didn't say anything, just stood there and giggled.
"You're still laughing. It scares me to death."
"Isn't that okay? Just make a cut." Qin Haixiao said.
"A puncture, ten stitches is still called a puncture?" Liu Yang glared at Qin Haixiao, and then got angry at the three chefs, "Are you still drinking? I don't think any of you will dare to drink with him in the future.
I will fight with anyone who asks him to drink!"
The three chefs hurriedly said that they would not dare to do it again.
"Where's the little restaurant chef?" Liu Yang asked.
"The police station took him away." One of the three chefs replied.
"Damn it, the harmonious society saved him." Liu Yang cursed.
After coming out of the hospital, Zhou Xiaomei took a taxi to send Liu Yang and Qin Haixiao back first, and then went back to the dormitory with Meng Meng.
The few days before the Spring Festival every year are the peak period for crime. Some people have worked for a year without making any money, and they feel ashamed to go home empty-handed to celebrate the New Year, so they have their own ideas and start to take risks.
Of course, there are also some people who encounter unscrupulous bosses who refuse to pay wages during the Chinese New Year, hide and run away, and employees have no money and cannot return home, so they are forced to embark on a criminal path.
Today is the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are four days left until New Year’s Eve.
It was already midnight. Zhou Xiaomei and Meng Meng got out of the taxi and walked towards the door of the building. When they saw the door of the building, two figures suddenly jumped out of the darkness and intercepted them one after the other.
The two men who robbed the road were both wearing cotton hats and masks, with only their eyes exposed. The man in front was tall, and the man behind was relatively thin. Both of them held an iron rod more than half a meter long in their hands.
"Stand still!" the big man in front said in a low voice.
Meng Meng was so frightened that she said "Oh my God". Although the sound was not loud, it was very clear in the silent night and could be heard far away.
"Don't shout." The little man behind went up and hugged Meng Meng's neck, lowered his voice and threatened: "If you shout, I'll beat you to death with a stick."
Meng Meng was too scared to speak out.
Zhou Xiaomei knew that she was being robbed. Although she was scared, she forced herself to calm down and said, "We won't shout."
"We need money, so take out the money you have." The big man in front said.
Zhou Xiaomei was in a hurry to go to the hospital just now, but she did bring a wallet with her, which contained 600 yuan in cash and two bank cards.
She took out all 600 yuan.
The big man took the money and put it in his pocket, then raised the iron rod and pointed it at Meng Meng. Meng Meng trembled and took out the two hundred and thirty yuan from his pocket, but before he could hand it over, the big man snatched it away and put it into his pocket.
"I tell you not to shout. If you do, I'll knock you to death!"
The big man threatened, and then motioned to the little man behind him to let Meng Meng go, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the darkness.
When Zhou Xiaomei saw the two people leaving, she let out a long sigh, and then a wave of fear came over her. She shivered involuntarily and felt a chill coming from her whole body.
"Go upstairs right now." This was the first thing she thought of.
She went to pull Meng Meng beside her, but Meng Meng was already frightened and collapsed on the ground.
"Get up, Meng Meng, hurry up and go upstairs." Zhou Xiaomei whispered anxiously, while pulling Meng Meng up hard.
Although Meng Meng was limp and powerless, he still knew the danger, so he stood up with all his strength, and entered the building door with Zhou Xiaomei's help.
After going upstairs and entering the house, the two of them were in shock, especially Meng Meng, who was sitting on the sofa shivering.
"Okay, it's okay." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"It scared me to death." Meng Meng said, her face turned pale.
"I guess I don't make any money, I can't go home, and I can't go out to grab some during the Chinese New Year," Zhou Xiaomei said.
"That's scary enough. My heart is still pounding now. I don't dare to sleep alone tonight. I'll sleep in your room."
"Okay, sleep in my room, I'm scared too."
"I see you're not afraid."
"It's silly, can you not be afraid? Just hold on." Zhou Xiaomei said: "At that time, you have to follow them to get the money, and they will take the money and leave - in fact, they are also afraid, timid, afraid
Being caught.
It's best not to shout at that time, otherwise they will be scared and hit you with a stick."
As soon as Zhou Xiaomei finished speaking, she heard a woman outside shouting: "Someone is here, they were robbed——"
Then there was a scream of "Ah——", followed by the sound of rapid running, and then someone shouted "Here comes someone, they were robbed——"
Zhou Xiaomei and Meng Mengang were relieved and immediately felt anxious again. They listened to the movement outside with bated breath, not daring to breathe.
A minute later, the footsteps of "Dongdongdong" came from the corridor. They were very urgent, and they were obviously running upstairs.
Zhou Xiaomei and Meng Meng's hearts tightened as they sat close to each other - they lived on the top floor of the apartment.
"Are you still running? Let's see where you are going." A man's voice said.
"I, we were wrong." A timid voice.
"Throw the stick away!" A majestic voice.
"Bang, bang, bang." There were two sounds of iron bars falling to the ground.
Zhou Xiaomei and Meng Meng heard the conversation outside really well in the room. They didn't dare to move, their hearts in their throats. They knew that the two robbers were blocked in the corridor by the police, because at this time there was a loud noise outside.
A shrill siren sounded.
The two robbers robbed Zhou Xiaomei and Meng Meng and then moved to the front building to escape. They may have felt that the money they robbed was not enough, or they may have wanted to see if Meng Meng and Zhou Xiaomei had gone upstairs, so they turned back again.
By chance, they met a young man and woman who were returning home at night. The two men decided to repeat their old tricks and stepped forward to stop them.
Unexpectedly, the woman was so fierce that she shouted: "Here comes someone, they've been robbed——"
When she shouted, the little robber was frightened, and when he went up to hit his head, the woman screamed "Ah--" and fell down.
When the woman fell to the ground, the two robbers panicked and ran away.
The man yelled, "Here comes someone, they've been robbed--" and quickly picked up his female companion instead of chasing the two robbers.
Due to frequent robberies in the neighborhood in the past few days, the police station has strengthened night patrols. The woman's cry happened to be heard by the police patrolling here, and they arrived in time, blocking the two robbers in the corridor and arresting them.
.
Unfortunately, the woman was hit in the back of the head with a stick and was already dead by the time 120 arrived.
The man's pitiful cry was heartbreaking, tugging at people's hearts in the empty night------
"Sister Mei, I didn't shout at that time." Meng Meng said with a deep heart while lying on the bed.
"Well------it's so tragic. Three families were destroyed at once------" Zhou Xiaomei said.
"I'm afraid just thinking about it, risking my life."
"That's not -------"
Meng Meng squeezed closer to Zhou Xiaomei and said, "Sister Mei, we've been sleeping together these past few days and going up and downstairs together. I don't dare to do it alone."
"Um."
"Don't turn off the lights, you'll be scared if you turn off the lights."
"I can't sleep if I don't turn off the light."
"Then -" Meng Meng turned around, leaned her back into Zhou Xiaomei's arms, and said weakly: "Then hug me from behind, otherwise I won't dare to close my eyes."
"Okay-" Zhou Xiaomei pressed the switch, and the room was instantly dark.
Meng Meng pulled Zhou Xiaomei's hand to her chest and held it with her hands. She pressed her back against Zhou Xiaomei's chest and whispered, "Hold me, you're afraid."
Zhou Xiaomei was also afraid, but not as serious as Meng Meng. The two borrowed courage from each other and gradually fell asleep------
