Chapter 18: Big Square Face 3 Shicha Road is a...

Shicha Road is a narrow alley that stretches as far as the eye can see.

This alley is quite strange. It sells everything from flowers, birds, fish and insects, and also sells jewelry and antiques. You can smell the smell of rotten eggs with every step you take. It is said that the antique stalls in this kind of small and shabby street are all scams, but some people have actually bought rare treasures from here.

The drifting ice sea collapsed over a fish pond and turned around the path behind the fish pond.

There is a dead end behind.

The dead end road was blocked by a red wall, and next to it was a row of simple houses that looked like old warehouses, three stories high. Each floor had a clothes drying rack with a few pieces of clothes hanging scattered on them.

Climb up the iron stairs to the third floor.

"Bang, bang, bang," three knocks on the door.

The person inside opened the door.

A sickening musty smell hit me in the face.

When you look at a city, you should look at the appearance of its lowest-level people. That is the bottom line of a city.

The man who opened the door was not good-looking, with a rather wretched expression, and a face covered with pits and pockmarks. He had a cigarette lit in his hand, and with every puff he exhaled the smell of garbage nicotine mixed with bad breath.

"Where are the people?" Liu Binghai said.

The chin that opened the door tilted inwards, and Liu Binghai walked in.

The room was littered with instant noodle boxes, and seven or eight sausages were cut at an angle and put into the frying pan. At the back was the kitchen, and the range hood was probably broken, as the smell of burnt sausages wafted out.

There was a boy lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old and looked quite good.

Seeing the drifting ice sea, he hesitated and hummed twice, staring at her with wide eyes and blinking.

Liu Binghai only glanced at him and said to the pockmarked face who had just opened the door, "Are you Erming?"

Ma Zi nodded.

"You are the one who sent me the message?"

Ma Zi put the cigarette in his hand to his lips and looked at the ice sea silently as a response.

Liu Binghai nodded and said, "I'm here to tell you that you can kill or slice up this person on the ground as you please. You don't need to send me a message to report it in the future. Just do it directly."

Ma Zi was stunned and the cigarette in his hand shook.

All the messages on Liu Binghai's phone that afternoon were sent by him.

The boy on the ground is the younger brother of the original owner Liu Yimeng, Liu Erxiong, the biological brother of the same father and mother. He is addicted to gambling at a young age and owes a lot of debts. Ma Zi was the one who sent a message to Liu Binghai to ask for money.

The message threatened her that if she didn't give her money, she would chop off her brother's hands.

She really is willing to do that.

Erxiong on the ground groaned several times with a red face. Liu Binghai looked down at him and said nothing.

The pockmarked man threw away the cigarette in his hand: "This is your own brother! You are so cruel, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Liu Binghai curled the corners of his mouth in mockery.

Retribution? What other retribution could there be?

Should she let her paralyzed mother continue to lie in bed and watch her father and his new love being affectionate, or should she let Liu Erxiong stop all the harm he did to her?

The original owner was an ordinary girl, but in the end she was not that ordinary.

My mother had an accident 15 years ago and became paraplegic, losing sensation in her lower body. Before she could recover from the despair, my father hurriedly found a new love and they lived together happily.

People say he is a scumbag, but he is also a scumbag with principles. Although he found a new love, he did not abandon his paralyzed original wife. He flirted with the mistress while taking care of his disabled wife. The "family of three" lived a life under the same roof that was neither warm nor harmonious.

Over time, everyone's mental state becomes a little distorted.

Liu Erxiong was born to his father and his first wife, and it seemed as if he was born just to bring trouble to his sister.

He has been in trouble since he was a child and has made a lot of messes. He is involved in all kinds of bad things, including petty thefts and thefts. His father is too lazy to care and his mother is incompetent, so all the blame for any trouble falls on the original owner, Liu Yimeng.

The whole thing is just a big black pot.

Few older sisters don't love their younger brothers, and Liu Yimeng is no exception. In such a strange family, only the two sisters depend on each other.

Liu Erxiong is her disaster and also her weakness.

Liu Yimeng tried her best to control anything she could, as she couldn't bear to see her own brother suffer.

But the drifting ice sea is not used to this problem.

She now wishes this kid could suffer more.

So when Ma Zi said, "Aren't you afraid of retribution?", she found it funny and turned around and said to Ma Zi, "If it's time to chop off your hands, chop them off. If there's lightning, I'll take it."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

The boy on the ground was groaning in anxiety.

He was indeed cheated, but it would be better for him to suffer the consequences sooner rather than later.

Liu Binghai looked back at him and said to Ma Zi, "I'm here today to formally inform you all. It can also be considered as meeting you. You all know my cell phone number. Oh, and by the way, please call me after you chop off your hand. Medical technology is advanced now. I may be able to reconnect it after I freeze it."

After saying that, she looked at the boy on the ground and said regretfully, "I can only help you so much."

After saying that, he left, ignoring Liu Erxiong who was shouting and yelling behind him.

She was really annoyed with this guy.

He is different from Zhang Muke in his previous life.

Although her original family in the previous life was also quite tragic, Zhang Mu was simple-minded and always obedient, so she was willing to continue protecting the original owner.

Liu Erxiong is a weirdo.

I've been weird since I was a child.

When she was a child, someone once stole her underwear and sold it to a creepy man with special fetishes, causing her to be spied on and followed by the creepy man for a while.

She was too lazy to pay attention to him. Those big rotten hands should have been taught a lesson long ago. It wouldn't be a pity to chop them off.

Since we were already in the downtown area, Liu Binghai bought a few small potted plants.

Although it is a small apartment of 50 square meters and there are no mountains, water or waterfalls, at least I can't live in the same environment as Mazi.

"Can you deliver it?" Liu Binghai asked, "It's inconvenient to carry it."

The boss was a straightforward person: "No problem."

After leaving his home address, Liu Binghai strolled around the street for a while. When he passed by a medical beauty and plastic surgery clinic, he couldn't help but take a look inside.

Face-slimming injections, discounted price of 1290.

She touched her masseter muscle and found that it was not a masseter muscle problem, but a bone problem.

The system is a bitch...

I turned around and continued walking forward. I passed by a large vegetable and fruit wholesale market, asked for prices, walked around for a while, and then continued walking towards home.

When I reached an intersection, I felt tired, so I stood there and stretched. The tight ponytail made the veins on my temples a little exposed.

She loosened her ponytail and said to the person behind her, "Come out."

The sound was very long, like a movie soundtrack radiating from far away.

A figure flashed behind.

The sun had already set, and a dark shadow was swaying on the cobblestone road.

"You've been following me all the way. What are you doing, Youyou?"

Liu Binghai tilted her head slightly, and you could vaguely see her slender eyelids calmly looking at the direction she was coming from.

A little boy sauntered out from the intersection.

…

The boy's name is Youyou. He is the screenwriter assistant of Liubinghai Company and is from Tibet.

Because he was not very fluent in the language, he was often scolded by the chief screenwriter, but he had low salary requirements and was hardworking, so the company treated him as a low-priced laborer. Although they did not value him, they did not plan to fire him.

Youyou is a very handsome boy.

The reason why I use the word beautiful to describe him is because he really looks like a girl.

Although there is a little bit of plateau red on her face that cannot be concealed, her eye sockets are deep, and her big eyes are particularly focused when she looks at people. Not only focused, but also always watery, as if she will cry if she disagrees with something.

He is shy when speaking, looks listless and dares not look at people.

He had been following the drifting ice sea all the way, and now he was suddenly discovered. His big eyes were full of panic, and his arms were at a loss, not knowing where to put them.

Liu Binghai turned around and looked at the little boy.

You are 22 years old, not young anymore, why are you still so timid?

She stared at him, wondering if he was going to tell the truth.

Obviously, he couldn't say anything, but just looked at her uncomfortably, rubbing his worn trouser line.

Liu Binghai smiled, "Is it a chance encounter?"

The boy seemed to have received a hint, raised his eyes, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and nodded vigorously.

Drifting ice sea just take it as your own belief.

She looked at Youyou, waved her hand and beckoned him over.

The boy came over slowly.

Liu Binghai asked him, "Is everything okay at home?"

Youyou's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone knows that children from remote mountainous areas come from poor families, but when everyone is poor together, they don’t feel poor anymore. Youyou’s poverty is quite special. His sister has a strange disease. It is said that she always howls in the middle of the night, and when she howls, her eyes are green, like a wolf, which is quite creepy.

People over there said that his sister was possessed by some kind of demon. She had paid off her karmic debts, performed rituals to save the dead, and consulted a bunch of monks, but none of them could find out what was wrong. The illness was not cured, and she had to spend a lot of money on incense and offerings, which made the family, which was not well-off to begin with, even worse off.

Youyou came out to continue earning money for her sister's incense offerings. People there believed in this.

Liu Binghai knew about his family affairs, so he asked him how his family was.

Youyou's face turned pale, her eyebrows were half-twisted, and she didn't know whether to nod or shake her head.

Liu Binghai didn't say anything, took out two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to Youyou.

He was surprised at first, and then he heard Liu Binghai say, "Please ask the temple master here to perform some rituals for my sister."

If you give him money, he will definitely not accept it, but it is different if you want to perform a ritual for his sister.

This is considered as incense money, which can cure diseases and save lives.

"It can be considered as my blessing for her." Liu Binghai added.

After hearing that, he couldn't refuse it anymore. He hesitated for a long time before taking it. He wanted to see the drifting ice sea but didn't dare to look at it. He stuttered for a long time before saying, "Thank you, Mengjie."

There was no expression on Liu Binghai's face.

It is true that people have low aspirations when they are poor. She just felt sad.

She didn't ask him why he was following her.

After breaking up with Youyou, she went to the pharmacy and bought some Chinese medicine according to the prescription on the Internet.

Then I went to the supermarket and bought a pair of pajamas.

The foot bath tub would not arrive for a few days, so when she got home, she changed into her pajamas and took out a large basin.

Fill a basin with hot water, soak your calves in it, and throw some dried ginger, star anise, safflower, and poria into the basin...all of which are great tools for dispelling cold and reducing swelling.

While soaking my feet, all I could think about was Youyou’s face.

She knew that it was Xiao Ming who asked him to follow her.

She also knew what his purpose was.

But she didn't expect that he had changed his mind so early.

Xiao Ming is the original owner's boyfriend and a college classmate of Jiang Xiaoluo and the original owner.

In the original plot, Xiao Ming always asked Youyou to follow Liu Yimeng to prevent this poisonous snake from harming Jiang Xiaoluo.

But at this moment, even in the original plot, the original owner had not yet started to turn evil and confront Jiang Xiaoluo. She just inadvertently muttered to Xiao Ming that Jiang Xiaoluo's little sweet talk was too vain and she would expose her sooner or later.

Has he already started to take her seriously and be wary of her?

So when did he start to change his mind, or rather, he never loved her in the first place.

Then why is he dating me?

Puzzled, Liu Binghai was too lazy to think about it, so he closed his eyes and concentrated on soaking his feet. While soaking, he became distracted and wondered whether Liu Erxiong's hand had been chopped off.

Before I finished soaking my feet, I heard a turning sound in the keyhole.

Liu Binghai opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. The door lock was opened and a clean-cut man's face appeared in his sight.

It's Xiao's name.

"You're here." said Liu Binghai.

Xiao Ming walked into the house and was surprised to see it was so clean. Yesterday, she was crying and drinking to drown her sorrows because she was worried about her brother.

Recovered in one day?

Looking at Liu Binghai again, he was sitting on the sofa soaking his feet calmly, with no intention of borrowing money from him at all.

She looked at him with a slanted eyebrow, "What's the matter?"

He had the key to her house, which was a common tacit understanding between boyfriends and girlfriends. He could come often, she could go often, and they could also check if the hair on the other person's bed was their own color.

Liu Binghai was a little annoyed by this tacit understanding, but he didn't plan to take back the key now.

It was our first meeting, so I didn't know how to talk to him, and my tone was inevitably a little awkward.

Although the original owner in the previous life was a big poisonous snake, she trusted Xiao Ming 100%, and only showed some feminine fragility and tenderness when she was with him.

Now the drifting ice sea is well-behaved, and Xiao Ming is a little uncomfortable for a moment.

He put the dinner he bought for her on the small coffee table, which was a tray of steamed dumplings and a bowl of pumpkin porridge.

Liu Binghai was not hungry, but felt it would be a waste not to eat it, so he grabbed one and started to bite it.

Seeing that she was eating as if nothing had happened, Xiao Ming asked her, "How do we resolve Liu Erxiong's issue?"

Liu Binghai swallowed a steamed bun and said, "No need to solve it."

Hmm? Xiao Ming frowned and looked at her.

"I told them, if they want to chop off their hands, then chop them off and I'll take care of it. Don't worry about anything else."

Xiao Ming almost doubted his ears.

He must have heard it right, this is the brother-protecting man he knows?

After soaking her feet in the drift ice sea, she went to the bathroom to pour out the water and came out wearing her newly bought lace translucent nightgown.

It’s not that she likes lace, it’s just that this is the cheapest.

"I won't indulge him anymore. That kid deserves a lesson!" Liu Binghai said calmly.

Xiao Ming suddenly felt that he didn't recognize her. Looking at her appearance today, she seemed strange no matter how he looked at her. It took him a long time to realize the difference.

"Why did you tie your hair up?"

A big square face is bright and shining.

Also, what the hell is that red hemorrhoid next to the brow bone...

Liu Binghai took two steps back to the bathroom door and looked at the mirror sideways for a while.

Not to mention, after looking at this square face for a whole day, she found that it liked her more and more. She also found that although the original owner's face was not beautiful, she had a good figure. Although her calves were a little swollen, her collarbone was straight and concave, smooth and slender, and two big eggs could be placed on it.

"I'm not ugly, there's no need to always have my hair loose to cover my face." Liu Binghai said calmly.

Xiao Yang looked at her and swallowed.

I'm not ugly... okay.

He felt that she was a little different today than usual, so he couldn't help but look at her twice more.

Just then, Liu Binghai's phone rang again.

She really hates the sound of the phone. If it wasn't for completing tasks, she wouldn't want to touch the phone in her life. She really doesn't understand why so many people regard their phones as treasures and use them every day. What's the point of using them!

It’s better to soak your feet more than to browse your phone.

"Hello." Although she hated it, she still had to pick up the phone.

It was Jiang Xiaoluo, whose voice was sweet but not cloying, like sour plum candy.

"Mengmeng, President Han told me that he's still not satisfied with some aspects of your plan and wanted me to talk to you about it. Are you free now?"

"Now?!" Liu Binghai glanced at the wall clock, then looked at Xiao Yang, and said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Luo asked me out, can you take me there?"

She saw Xiao Yang's eyes flashing uncontrollably.
