"Brother Qiang, calm down. The little girl is ignorant. You can teach her the rules later. Look, you have earned a lot today!" He quickly took out the wad of money in his pocket, skillfully divided out most of it, and stuffed it into Gao Zhiqiang's hand.

What a joke. Just teach him a lesson. If he really gets hurt, he'll be bruised and battered tomorrow. How can he do business?

Gao Zhiqiang pinched the thickness of the stack of banknotes, curled his lips and was satisfied.

He casually stuffed the money into the inside pocket of his leather jacket, not even bothering to zip it up, revealing a wad of wrinkled, greasy green bills.

He tilted his neck, pointed his chin at Lin Yaqin in a rude manner, and mumbled to the old witch, "Take her away."

The tone didn't sound like he was talking about a person, but rather like he was notifying that something was going to be taken away.

Lin Yaqin's shoulders shrank almost imperceptibly.

She lowered her head and stood up silently, her legs and feet feeling a little weak. She held on, not wanting to shake too obviously.

She didn't dare hesitate, not even to tidy up her messy clothes and hair.

Like a mummy without the ability to think, she obediently followed Gao Zhiqiang and moved out of the pink hair salon filled with cheap perfume and dirty smells.

The old witch called out hypocritically from behind: "Brother Qiang, take care! If you have any good stuff, bring it to me!"

The door slammed shut, finally isolating the foul smell inside temporarily.

Gao Zhiqiang didn't even turn his head, but walked forward with his arms swinging, and his tattered leather jacket rustled with his proud steps.

It was like a black wall running sideways, blocking out the pitiful light from the street lamps in front.

Lin Yaqin followed behind him, adjusting her worn-out high heels with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Her feet hurt from stepping on the bumpy road, and she almost sprained her ankle several times.

When the night breeze blew, goose bumps immediately appeared on her bare arms. Not only her arms, but also the few pieces of cloth on her body could not protect her from the cold of the night!

It wasn't just because it was cold late at night, but mainly because of the fear that seeped out from between her bones, making her teeth chatter uncontrollably!

She didn't dare get too close, because who knew if he would stop suddenly? If she bumped into him, it was not impossible for them to have sex on the street!

I didn't dare to stay too far away, for fear that he would look back and see me and be unhappy.

It was hanging there for two or three steps, neither too close nor too far away, like a broken kite tied with a string, floating along without a soul.

Gao Zhiqiang's deathly silence made her feel more uneasy than an old witch jumping up and down and cursing.

She would rather he slapped her twice right now than keep silent. Who knows what evil this bastard is thinking and what will be waiting for her next!

She hung her head, her eyes fixed on the tips of her worn shoes and his shadow on the ground, which was stretched long and distorted by the street light.

My fingers unconsciously dug into the palm of my hand again, and the few scabbed marks on the moon were broken again, and some blood came out, sticky.

Only this little bit of self-inflicted pain could make her feel that she was still a human being and had not completely rotted away in that noisy pink hair salon.

Gao Zhiqiang didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just walked with his head down, leading her through the streets and alleys. It got darker and quieter as they walked.

We walked through several dark and smelly alleys.

Finally, he stopped in front of a row of dilapidated tenements that looked like they were about to collapse.

He took out the key with a bang and pried open a metal door that was almost rusted to pieces. The noise was so harsh that it made people's teeth ache.

The iron door slammed shut behind him with a clang, causing the dust on the door frame to fall down.

They walked through the dark corridor that was cluttered with debris and filled with the smell of urine and mildew. They either bumped into other people's broken coal stoves or almost stepped on a pile of hot dog shit.

Lin Yaqin had walked this road countless times in the past year, but she still couldn't get used to it. At this moment, her foot slipped and she almost stepped on a pool of sticky dog ​​shit. She was so scared that she screamed "Ouch". Although the sound was small, it was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Gao Zhiqiang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned his head, glared, and shouted at the top of his voice, not caring at all about waking people up, "Damn! What are you yelling about! Are you howling?!

Are you worried that everyone in the compound doesn't know I brought you back?! If you scream again, I'll beat you to death!

As soon as his hoarse voice fell, he started cursing at someone he didn't know who he was talking to: "Gao Guaizi! I will curse your ancestors for eight generations!

It's the middle of the night, and you're out there with that slutty ass-eyed bitch of yours, acting out some fucking scene! If you keep whining, I'll throw footwash on you two!"

Gao Zhiqiang is just a bully at home, but he acts like a decent person outside and is good at pretending.

But in the same shabby courtyard, those who are barefoot are not afraid of the poverty of those who wear shoes, haha, and he doesn't dare to really offend all the neighbors.

After being scolded by his neighbor, he could only hold back his anger, but he had to let it out.

He turned around and cursed softly through his teeth: "You unlucky star! You're a money-loser! You're only causing trouble for me!"

Then he pulled her arm even more roughly, causing her to gasp in pain.

He didn't care at all whether she could keep up or not, and just dragged her like garbage towards the broken door that was emitting a foul smell and urine odor even when it was closed!

Finally, in the most dilapidated and shady corner of the compound, in front of a small, dilapidated house with almost peeling walls, several holes in the windows, and cardboard blocking its way, he finally stopped.
