leave
When Lin Nanyan came out again, he looked no different from when he went in.
Jiang Qing looked at him suspiciously, "So fast?"
Lin Nanyan: "I wasn't seriously injured to begin with."
He took her bag and stepped out first. Jiang Qing hurriedly followed the clerk who had returned with the medicine and thanked him.
Looking at the empty doorway, the drugstore clerk withdrew his gaze and his eyes fell on the extra balance on his mobile phone. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Although he didn't understand what the two people were doing, he knew Xiao Qianqian, and as long as the money was in place, everything would be fine.
As soon as Jiang Qing went out, she saw Lin Nanyan parked at the bakery on the street. She walked over and looked inside through the glass window. She saw all kinds of bread on the shelves. Looking inside, she saw the freezer filled with delicious cakes, which looked even more tempting under the light.
Jiang Qing stared intently and asked the person next to her, "Why are you walking so fast?"
Lin Nanyan: "Going to the amusement park?"
? ?
Jiang Qing suddenly turned her head to look at him. The man was staring intently at the cake on the counter.
Countless question marks popped up in her head. How did the topic turn to this?
Lin Nanyan took the small cake packed by the clerk, scanned the code to pay, then turned around and asked, "Do you want to go?"
Jiang Qing: "...Go!"
Thirty minutes later, Jiang Qing bit the cake fork in her mouth and looked up at the Ferris wheel slowly spinning in the distance. She never thought that things would develop to this point.
"Let's go, it's our turn."
Lin Nanyan took the cake from Jiang Qing's hand and left it at the entrance counter. The two of them sat down at their seats under the guidance of the staff.
Lin Nanyan came over to help Jiang Qing fasten the safety buckle. After he left, Jiang Qing pulled the seat belt to test the tightness.
As the time counted down and the bell rang, her vision began to spin and her body gradually rose higher.
"ah--"
The wind was whistling in my ears and screams were heard everywhere.
The pendulum swung, and Jiang Qing was pushed to the highest point in the sky like a swing, and then fell back. Her body almost left the seat due to inertia, but was firmly fixed in place by the safety belt.
The centrifugal force threw her out, and a strong feeling of weightlessness came over her. Adrenaline rushed, and Jiang Qing's brain went blank. She screamed with her eyes open.
Swing, rise, fall, scream, stop.
Jiang Qing got up from her seat reluctantly, took the bottle of mineral water handed to her by Lin Nanyan, and followed him to the next project.
Pirate ship, bungee jumping, roller coaster... She tried them all, whichever one was more exciting.
Finally, when the lights came on, they got on the Ferris wheel.
Jiang Qing sat quietly in her seat, watching the night spread outside the window and the city lit up by lights.
A colorful, changing, and gorgeous light show unfolded brilliantly on her retina.
They played here all day long, and the laughter and excitement made her eyes sparkle like stars.
At this time, as the body slowly rose into the air again, Jiang Qing's brain, which had been shaken away, finally slowly came back online.
She actually didn't like the Ferris wheel very much. It went up and down very slowly, and there was no feeling at all. The whole process was no different from sitting indoors and it wasn't exciting at all.
But it has to be admitted that if there is a light show in the distance, the Ferris wheel does provide a great viewing vantage point.
Lin Nanyue looked at the girl's profile. The light shone on her face, illuminating her bright eyes.
When Jiang Qing turned around, she saw Lin Nanyan looking at her.
She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Nanyan looked away, gazing at the large, flashing, multicolored lights outside the window. "The lights are repeating."
Jiang Qing turned around when she heard that. The lights had already flashed once and started again from the beginning, over and over again.
The Ferris wheel swayed as it rose to its highest point and then slowly descended, but the people in the cabin did not feel any shaking.
It was so calm that Jiang Qing's heart also calmed down.
I don't know when the fine raindrops started to fall, hitting the window, making a crisp sound.
"It's raining."
"I brought an umbrella."
The cabin was quiet for a while before the sound was heard again.
"When are you leaving?"
"It shouldn't be very busy in the near future."
Jiang Qing understood what Lin Nanyan meant, that he would be staying here recently.
She was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I should leave."
When she faced the murderer for the first time, she realized that he was not the innocent-looking student in her memory who retreated when she frightened him, but a murderer whose hands were truly stained with blood.
This is an extremely dangerous person. It is difficult for her to find out anything from him. If she is not careful, others may be implicated as well.
Just like today, if something happened to Lin Nanyan, she would definitely regret it.
Everything should be nipped in the bud. At least, he would have been younger then and not as difficult to deal with as he is now, she thought with a smile.
“Crack—”
A loud bang exploded in the dark night, and the cabin was instantly as bright as day.
The raindrops as big as beans fell down quickly and anxiously, hitting people's faces and causing pain.
As Li Liang was riding his motorcycle in the night, he couldn't help but sigh and say it was bad luck. What a horrible weather! It just started to rain without any warning.
He stopped by the roadside, wiped away the water droplets that fell into his eyes and blurred his vision, looked up, and walked into the convenience store.
"Get a poncho."
Li Liang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but it was obvious that all the cigarettes had been soaked and useless. He impatiently threw it into the trash can.
"Tsk, another pack of cigarettes."
The clerk handed Li Liang a raincoat and cigarettes, and watched the man skillfully open the package and take out the cigarettes in front of her.
Li Liang: "Come, borrow a light."
The clerk frowned imperceptibly and pointed to the small sign on the counter. He looked over and saw four large black characters on the sign: "No Smoking Indoors."
"Heh," he sneered, "If I don't allow you to smoke, why are you selling cigarettes? Get me a lighter."
The clerk, selectively deaf, handed the man a lighter and asked, "Twenty-six yuan in total, scan or cash?"
Li Liang: "Scan the code. Does anyone still use cash these days?"
The clerk watched closely and replied in her heart, that's not necessarily true, she really did receive some cash today.
But she is very professional and will not embarrass the guests in front of them. She will only complain in her heart.
After scanning the code to pay, she watched the customer leave and put on a fake smile, "Thank you for your patronage."
Li Liang stood at the door of the convenience store, the scarlet firelight flickering on his face, reflecting a standard face.
His facial features were evenly distributed, with slightly more white in his eyes. There was a small, diagonal scar at the corner of his eyebrow, which wasn't very noticeable.
He looked at the weather outside which was as bad as the Water-Splashing Festival, pinched out the cigarette butt with his fingertips, and then lit another one.
Amidst the smoke, he felt irritated. He shouldn't have come out in such awful weather.
After thinking about something, he sighed, put on his raincoat, and rushed out with a determined heart.
The clerk inside noticed the noise outside and looked out. The man was already riding his motorcycle into the darkness with a roar. Even in such bad weather, he was not afraid of any accidents.
She looked at the sky outside, worry creeping onto her face. If the rain continued to pour down, how would she get home? This place was so remote that taxis were hard to come by.
When Li Liang arrived at the agreed location, he was soaked even though he had a raincoat.
He stopped his motorcycle and squinted at the familiar building in front of him. The reinforced concrete house was empty, filled with dust and exposed bricks, without a trace of human life.
It’s been many years since we last met.
The phone rang in his pocket, so he took off his raincoat and answered the call while shaking off the water.
"Hello—yeah, I'm here. I'm fine. He's just like that. Don't mind it."
"He just got out, he's still naive. Anyone locked up for that long is bound to have some mental problems."
"Don't worry, I'll try to persuade him. He and I have been brothers for over 20 years, and I won't fail to lend him a hand."
Li Liang walked in and saw a person standing next to him from the corner of his eye. He looked over and his eyes lit up. "I have something else to do here. I'll contact you later."
She hung up the phone and walked over to hug the man.
"My goodness, you've grown up so much now. I've been thinking about you all the time after not seeing you for so many years."
He patted the man's back, his fingers clearly touching the man's bones. He said with emotion: "You've lost weight. I wonder how your mother will feel sorry for you."
The man remained silent and did not respond, and Li Liang did not care.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed it to the man.
"Do you want to smoke? You didn't know how to do it before, but you got lonely in there and had to find something fun to do. So you learned..."
Li Liang fell silent for a moment.
He looked at what the man handed to him, raised his head in confusion, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You asked for it," the man finally spoke, his sandy voice hoarse.
“Crack—”
Another flash of lightning split the dark night, illuminating two completely different faces.
One face is full of smiles, the other is silent.
Shaking off the cigarette ashes with his fingertips, Li Liang couldn't help but say with relief, "Back then..."
“Crack—”
Thunder roared suddenly, and silver-white lightning danced in the air, drowning out all movement in the darkness.
With a humming sound, a silver motorcycle roared through the night.
The man stood under the eaves, the water dripping from his feet formed a shallow puddle.
He lifted his foot and pushed the door open, and the sound of wind chimes rang out.
The clerk who was turning off the lights and preparing to close the shop looked over and saw a man in a black raincoat swaying in like a ghost, his face unable to be seen clearly in the dim light.
Mixed with the sound of dripping water, footsteps were approaching.
The clerk withdrew his hand from turning off the light, looked down at his phone, and when he looked up again, the man was right in front of him.
She smiled subconsciously, "What would you like to order?"
The man raised his face, revealing his bronze skin. His lips moved slightly, "Chewing gum."
"Okay...what flavor do you want? We have mint, blueberry, lychee, vanilla..."
The man did not interrupt her introduction and waited silently for her to finish.
He uttered two short words, "Mint."
"Okay, wait a moment," the clerk found a tube of mint gum and handed it to the man. "Three yuan, scan code or cash?"
"cash."
The familiar words made the clerk look up suddenly. She said in surprise, "It's you. Thank you for your help before. My colleague happened to be on sick leave. If you hadn't helped me move the goods in from the door, I don't know what I would have done."
"It suddenly rained at night. If I leave it outside and get wet, my boss will scold me to death."
She picked up her phone and scanned the code to pay. "You don't have to pay. I'll treat you as a thank you..."
When I looked down, the man had disappeared, and only a wrinkled three-yuan coin on the counter indicated that he had left.
She quickly took the money, pushed open the door and chased out, but she only saw the motorcycle rushing away into the rainy night.
"Strange, why does this motorcycle look so familiar?"
And that raincoat, the more I look at it, the more it looks like the products sold in their store.
