"Qiye, why did you ask Brother La to protect me?" In the dim street, Baili Pangpang leaned into Lin Qiye's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Now at this juncture, you and I are both the target of public criticism, so I can't stay with you for a long time. This will be more dangerous. And Cao Yuan goes crazy and can't tell the difference between us and the enemy...
In short, you must have a normal person by your side, and he must be an expert. "
After hearing this, Baili Pangpang suddenly realized, "You are still smart!"
Shen Qingzhu, who was decorated at the end, put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the stars in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he stopped.
"Hey, Fatty." He suddenly shouted.
Baili Pangpang turned around and grinned, "Why, I am also your employer now. Can you change your title?"
"... Baili Tu Ming." Shen Qingzhu took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Let's discuss it and give me one day's salary in advance."
Baili Pangpang raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry about it for now, just tell me if you can give it."
Baili Pangpang turned to look at Lin Qiye, who nodded.
"But I don't have any cash on me right now..." Baili Pangpang scratched his head.
"I still have three hundred yuan, is that enough?" Cao Yuan said suddenly.
"That's enough, give it to me first." Shen Qingzhu nodded repeatedly.
Cao Yuan handed the remaining three hundred yuan in his wallet to Shen Qingzhu, who turned back and walked towards the noodle shop. Under the dim light, the three of them seemed to see him returning to the shabby noodle shop.
He first said something to the boss, added a piece of steak and an egg to each of the three waiters' bowls, then handed all the money to Deng Wei, gave a few instructions, and ran out quickly.
"Let's go." Shen Qingzhu said calmly.
Lin Qiye and the other two looked at each other, remained silent in a tacit understanding, turned and walked out of the alleyway.
"The hotel was bombed... where should we stay tonight?" Baili Pangpang said in frustration as he walked.
Cao Yuan held the knife in his arms, "How about finding a temple to sleep for the night?"
"... This is a modern city. Where can I find a temple for you in the middle of the night?"
"Too."
Lin Qiye thought for a moment and then slowly said, "I know a place, come with me."
The three of them followed Lin Qiye through several uninhabited paths and finally arrived at the door of a remote and dilapidated small hotel.
Pink and purple room lights shone from the window and fell in front of the small door. The four people stood at the door and looked up at the pink and shabby big characters...
"Dream Butterfly Township... Love Hotel?!"
When Baili Pangpang saw these words, his anus tightened, "Qiye, you... are you serious?"
"There are not many places in Cangnan City where you can check in without having to register with an ID card. The environment here is relatively good." Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you don't want to live there, you can only sleep in the bridge cave."
"... Then let's do this."
The four people pushed the door open and entered. As Lin Qiye said, there was no need to register and there were many rooms. Just when Baili Pangpang was about to book three rooms directly, Shen Qingzhu suddenly spoke:
"I'll room with you."
Baili Pangpang: "What?!"
"Since we agreed to provide personal protection, it's too risky to live separately. You sleep on the bed, and I can sleep on the floor." Shen Qingzhu said seriously.
Baili Pangpang:…
"In that case, let me live together too." Cao Yuan said calmly, "Three of us can just sit together at a table to fight the landlord."
"this… "
"That's it."
Without waiting for Baili Pangpang to retort, Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu chose a room for him. They walked up the stairs, and there was a violent creaking sound on the floor with every step.
As we climbed to the second floor, there were vague...indescribable sounds coming from several surrounding rooms.
Shen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, with a faint blush appearing on his face, but he still walked forward with his head held high and his chest high.
Cao Yuan lowered his head and recited Amitabha silently.
Baili Pangpang looked at the two of them in surprise, and a look of disbelief gradually appeared on his face...
"You guys, are you still... "
"you are not?"
"It's a joke, young master, when I was seven years old, I already... "
"arrive."
Shen Qingzhu walked to the door of a room and opened the door with the key in his hand. A faint musty smell hit his face. He frowned slightly and walked in.
The room was not big, with a total of two beds. The lamp above the head had not been cleaned for an unknown period of time. It was full of stains. The pink light fell on the whole room, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little subtle.
"There are two beds. You can sleep on the bed, and I can sleep on the floor." Shen Qingzhu walked to the window and carefully observed the outside for a long time. After making sure that no one was watching, he closed the curtains.
Baili Pangpang nodded, "Cao Yuan, which bed do you want to sleep in... eh?"
Baili Pangpang looked at the empty corridor behind him and let out a sigh.
First floor.
"Hello."
"What do you want?"
"Excuse me, do you have anything here... that kind of exciting and interesting thing that three people can play together?"
"Hmm... It's not like there isn't anything. What exactly do you want?"
"Playing cards."
"… "
…
After Baili Pangpang settled down, Lin Qiye left the hotel, like a ghost in the dark, quietly moving towards Hongying's house.
Unknowingly, little snowflakes fell from the night sky, dotting the silent streets.
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand, gently caught a snowflake, and watched it melt into the palm of his hand...
After a long silence, he shook his head helplessly.
"I can't make a snowman with you this year, Jin... "
ten minutes later.
"Qiye, why have you been gone for so long?" Seeing Lin Qiye come back, Hongying stood up from the sofa and said angrily, "If you don't come back, I will go out to find you!"
Wen Qimo, who was lying lazily on the sofa, yawned, "I can testify that she has talked about you at least two hundred times in the past half hour."
Lin Qiye scratched his head in embarrassment, "I went out for a late-night snack... I'm sorry, Sister Hongying."
Hongying sighed, "Forget it, go to bed early... Wen Qimo, you have to be careful at night and protect Qiye!"
"I know, I know." Wen Qimo yawned again, "No one can sneak in while I'm in the living room."
Hongying looked at the door and sighed, "It's true that the captain and the old dog from southern Hunan actually slipped back... They have no sense of loyalty at all! Hmph!"
After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room. Lin Qiye smiled helplessly and went back to her room.
Snapped!
With a soft sound, the lights of the villa went out and plunged into darkness...
outside the house.
The night sky is vast and snowflakes are falling.
The cold wind blew through the sleeping Cangnan, carrying snowflakes all over the sky, whistling between the cities.
On the roof of the church only a hundred meters away from the villa, Leng Xuan lay there quietly, holding a sniper rifle in his hand, like a sculpture, watching everything around him.
squeak.
The sound of shoes hitting the snow came from behind him. Leng Xuan turned his head sharply and froze in place for the next moment.
"Isn't it cold in this winter?"
Chen Muye, holding a cigarette in his mouth, walked slowly to his side and sat down.
"It's not cold." Leng Xuan replied calmly.
"I brought you a coat." Wu Xiangnan, who was wearing a black windbreaker, also sat next to Leng Xuan and put the coat in his hands on him. His eyes fell on the villa in the distance, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. meaning.
"Aren't you going back to sleep?" Leng Xuan asked.
"Sleep? Can't sleep."
"oh."
"I heard that Qiye went to help the little fat man fight today? How was it?"
Leng Xuan paused for a moment and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "That's good. He has become stronger. Now even I may not be able to beat him."
"That's it..." Chen Muye smiled, "Not bad."
"Um."
"You guard him all day, and let us do it tonight."
"No need, you don't even have this kind of perseverance, why are you still a sniper?"
Wu Xiangnan and Chen Muye looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and neither tried to persuade them again.
The top of the church fell into silence.
Silently, the three men sat there quietly, watching the villa in the distance, motionless.
The flying snowflakes fell on them,
Under the dead night sky,
The snow on them is getting thicker and thicker...
Gradually, they turned into three snowmen,
Also like the patron saint of this city.
