Although it was just a quick glance, Li Shiqing could tell that it was a kitten that was not in good condition. Not only was it thin and weak, its voice was even weaker, and its hair was also dirty like stray cats. And it looks more and more round and watery, which makes it look lovely and pitiful.
Even Li Shiqing, who was covered in thorns just now, involuntarily softened after seeing such eyes, and closed the bag gently, holding the backpack carefully to prevent it from jumping out of the bag and hurting herself .
It's exactly the same as the masked man who just got on the bus.
On the other side, the "battle" between the man in the mask and the guy with glasses ended in the guy being beaten unilaterally with a bruised nose and swollen eyes. The guy lost all fighting spirit the moment he saw the cat's head exposed, and expressed his unwillingness complaint:
"You have a cat in your bag, why do you have to be so careful!"
"Why do you care so much! Why, I'm sorry that I don't have any valuables in my bag?"
The man in the mask obviously misunderstood what he meant, and became even more furious.
He shook off the little brother with eyes, rushed to the front of the car in two or three steps, and grabbed his bag from Li Shiqing's hand abruptly, not being polite because she was a woman.
No, maybe he was being polite, at least he didn't do anything to her.
The passengers in the car witnessed this farce with their own eyes, and they also talked about it.
"You look beautiful and young, how can you do such a thing..."
"Snatching things on the bus in broad daylight, it's too lawless..."
"But it's not right for this young man to bring a cat on the bus? Pets shouldn't be taken on public transportation. What if someone is allergic to animal hair?"
Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun were made to dig a hole and go down because of this misunderstanding.
After the man in the mask was exposed for taking the cat on the bus, he was really dissatisfied with these two people, especially when someone on the bus started talking about "pets are not allowed on the bus", it was full of evil spirits.
Obviously, he just needs to hug the little stray cat he picked up, so he can just sit and get off!
As soon as he got angry, he thought about the two robbers still standing there with innocent faces, as if it was a misunderstanding. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and before Li Shiqing and the younger brother could react, he took out the phone.
"Hello, 110? I want to call the police."
As soon as the masked man rang the phone, he was satisfied to see his accomplice, the four-eyed frog man, who just snatched his bag, and his face changed drastically.
Are you scared now
Should!
"don't want!"
Li Shiqing was shocked when she saw him behind the police, and she yelled and begged:
"Don't call the police!"
Once the police will...
"Yes, I'm on the No. 45 bus. I'm about to go to the bridge. There are two muggers in the bus who just took my bag. Yes, they are still on the bus. Please send someone as soon as possible..."
boom!
The familiar heat wave engulfed the entire bus, and everyone was smashed to pieces again.
—
"We just wasted four cycles on one suspect. If we want to search for it according to this efficiency, we might have to go back to the end."
Breaking out of the negative state, looking at another stop sign faintly visible behind the car window, Li Shiqing felt a chill in her heart and shivered.
"Now we are going backwards to Gangwu Xincun Station. If we keep going backwards, what will happen?"
This bus line has a total of 17 stops. Both Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun got on the bus at the first stop, which is the high-tech zone where universities and start-up companies gather together. Most people get on from here;
Among them, Yuandu Plaza is the comprehensive commercial center of the High-Tech Zone. People who live in the High-Tech Zone usually go shopping and leisure here, and it is also the stop with the largest number of people getting off.
As for Gangwu New Village and Yanjiang East Road Station in the back, most of the people who get on the train are going to the old city in Jiangbei.
Gangwu Xincun Station is the penultimate station before going up the bridge. It is also an area with large-scale residential areas on this line. Due to the old houses in the surrounding communities, the price of renting houses is very cheap. Many young people who have just started working and migrant workers The crowds live here, and the Yanjiang East Road Station behind is a station with relatively few people.
Li Shiqing has taken this bus countless times, but Xiao Heyun has just come to work in this city not long ago. I started to feel apprehensive in my heart.
Judging from the situation that they have been circulating now, it seems that God wants to give them opportunities, and keeps "sending" time to them. From the first time Li Shiqing "woke up and exploded" to now she can "stop and get off the car normally." ", there was a full twenty minutes difference in the middle time.
But no one knows what will happen if time goes "backwards".
What if they didn't stop the explosion after the cycle reached the bottom station
When the time comes, where else can they go backwards
In case it is not as beautiful as they imagined, if there are really many cycles, who knows if what they "wasted" would be the last chance to survive
Neither of the two young people was stupid, and after thinking about it for a while, they realized the horror of it, and the already tense state became even heavier now.
"Next, we must hit the ground running and stop wasting our time."
Li Shiqing thought about how his little brother was beaten up with blue eyes and blue eyes by the "mask man" before, and said heartily: "If you can't get it by force, try to use 'outsmart'."
"OK."
While Xiao Heyun agreed, he wiped his glasses happily, "Fortunately, everything is restored every cycle, otherwise I would have to go blind."
"Isn't this more terrifying?"
Li Shiqing's voice suddenly became gloomy. "Our bodies, our states, seem to come back every time, including your broken glasses and our stomachs rumbling from hunger."
"But the pain we feel each time and the weakness before each cycle is real, so how do we cycle? If it's just..."
"Okay, stop talking!"
Xiao Heyun's hands wiping his glasses trembled, and quickly interrupted her speculation.
He patted his companion's hand, comforting her, and comforting himself at the same time: "Don't think so much, the more you think, the more mediocre you will be. What we should think about now is how to find the real culprit, eliminate the danger, and get out of this cycle." .”
Li Shiqing glanced at him hesitantly, and nodded despite her heavy heart.
This time they woke up at 13:20, and they had just driven out of Gangwu Xincun Station, the penultimate station. The good thing is that this time was 25 minutes away from the predicted explosion time of 13:45, which was faster than any previous explosion. The downside is that they haven't found out where the suspects and explosives are yet.
Because the previous failure experience was too "tragic", this time they decided to regain confidence from a more "easy-to-start" object.
"Just that old grandpa."
After Li Shiqing looked at it again and again, she decided on the candidate.
"Although I think this old man seems to be the least dangerous, but he has a lot of luggage, it's better to exclude it. This time I will divert his attention, and you will be responsible for dragging the snakeskin bag away. Question?"
"Do not worry!"
The little brother clenched his fist and made a "don't worry" gesture, "I can't beat that masked man, it's impossible to beat an old man, right?"
After discussing the object, the two of them did what they said. Li Shiqing stood up and wandered around in the car for a while, then sat down in the empty seat opposite the grandfather.
The bus was running smoothly, but this old man, like most elders with luggage, never chose to take a nap, but kept his eyes open and looked at the road outside the window, and basically did not talk to other passengers in the bus. Make any eye contact.
So when Li Shiqing talked to him, he was very surprised.
"Grandpa, I think the things you brought are quite heavy. Can you lift them by yourself? Do you need help?"
After Li Shiqing said it twice, he realized that he was talking to him, turned his eyes blankly, and pointed at himself.
"Are you talking to me?"
"yes."
Li Shiqing squeezed out a smile, "I see that your bag is quite big and has a lot of things. Will it be too hard for you to carry it by yourself?"
"No, no, I'm used to it."
The old man patted his chest and said proudly, "Don't look at me as an old man, I have a lot of strength, I just picked up these two bags of melons on a pole, and I don't need help at all."
"Oh, does grandpa sell melons? I like melons the most. Can you sell me one?"
When Li Shiqing heard that it was Melon Heart, she was half-decided, but just to be on the safe side, she decided to find a way to take a look.
"You little girl has a really good heart. Are you worried that I won't be able to sell it? Haha, I would definitely give you one before, but not today."
The grandfather looked at Li Shiqing's expression, as if she was the kind of child who "stands on the side of the road and picks up a penny and rushes to hand it over to the police uncle". She is gentle and kind.
"These melons were all ordered by the owner of a fruit stall in Jiangbei. I am going to deliver them now. I have to give as many as they want in the store. I have already made an appointment."
Seeing that he was unwilling to open the snakeskin bag, Li Shiqing found it difficult.
Like most of the young people who were educated to respect the old and love the young, she would be fine if she met a domineering old man, but she would not have the audacity to insist on seeing what was in the snakeskin bag when she met such an amiable one.
"In this world, there are still many good people."
As soon as the old man opened the chatterbox, he began to chatter, "I have grown melons for so many years, and now fewer and fewer people buy them, and young people don't like to eat melons. Now watermelons are available all year round, and cantaloupe is better than melons." Melons are sweeter. Who eats small local melons? The owner of the fruit stand knows that melons are not easy to sell, and he often asks me to buy them, just because he is worried that I will not be able to survive... "
Li Shiqing glanced at the little brother in embarrassment, and urged him to think of a way.
The old man was still rambling: "You baby is also a kind-hearted person, but my old man has hands and feet. As long as he can still do the work, he will definitely not be unable to eat. I am used to doing work. If I don't do it for a day, my whole body will be exhausted." Son, so you don't have to worry about me..."
"I haven't seen what a local melon looks like, grandpa, please open my eyes!"
Seeing that the bus was reporting the stop again, Li Shiqing was still dawdling for a long time, "I can't do it", Xiao Heyun was also anxious, and walked forward with a slightly exaggerated expression.
"I'll take a look and give it back to you!"
After finishing speaking, he squatted down and forcibly tore away the snakeskin bag from under his feet.
"what are you doing!"
The old man was startled when he saw that the things had been taken away. He picked up the short pole leaning against the window and stood up.
The little brother managed to drag the snakeskin bag away, but when it was time to take it away, another problem occurred.
What the old man said was right, a person without strength really couldn't lift the bag, and the little brother tried his best to hold the bag, so he could only drag it and run.
This delay, the old man was so distressed that he was half dead, and after chasing after him, he grabbed the bag tightly.
"Be careful of my melon! You can't grab it without showing it to you!"
Xiao Heyun grabbed the bag with one hand to prevent the old man from getting his hands on it, and tried to open the bag with the other hand, but the rope was tied too tightly and he couldn't open it at all. He was sweating profusely and refused to let go.
"How can you grab other people's things by force!"
The old man is not polite to people who behave like this brother, "Who are these people, they are lawless, if you don't let go, I will not be polite!"
Just arrived at Yanjiang Road East Station at this time, and the cat-carrying man with a mask got on the car. Seeing the state of the car, he heard the little brother snatching things from the elderly, and he gave him a contemptuous look as he passed by.
Many people came up to persuade the little brother to let go, Li Shiqing also ran up and touched a few snakeskin bags under the excuse of "persuading the fight", and found that there was indeed a round object inside, and there was a crisp sound when knocked. winked.
The little brother understood Li Shiqing's meaning, and subconsciously let go...
"Ouch, oh, watch out for my melon!"
The grandpa who lost his center of gravity during the pulling fell heavily to the ground with a large bag of melons, and the melons in the bag burst with the sound.
The yellow-green juice flowed out from the cracks in the snakeskin bag, and soon there were a lot of wet marks.
At the same time, the sweet aroma of the melon lingered in the compartment with the rupture of the melon body, and the sweet fragrance overflowed, which once again proved that the old man was not suspected.
But the situation is completely out of control.
"What a crime! My good melon is gone!"
Seeing that his melon was "ruined" by someone, the grandfather threw away his shoulder pole, touched his lower back and howled again.
"Ouch, my waist!"
The little brother got up at a loss, and hurriedly went to take out his pocket.
"Grandpa, don't cry, don't cry, I'll pay you back how much these melons cost, and I'll pay you double!"
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Li Shiqing quickly went to help him, "What's wrong with your waist!"
"Is this a matter of losing money? I have been doing business with them for so many years. I have never missed a single time. You are harming me! You are causing me to lose my reputation! My waist, oh my! waist!"
The old man's voice was so loud that the driver turned his head frequently.
"What happened in the back? Old man, are you all right?"
"Uncle driver, don't look back, drive your car properly!"
Seeing the uncle looking back again, the little brother was frightened half to death, and yelled.
"You young man, you are quite arrogant! Robbing someone's property and beating someone, and you dare to threaten the driver and just drive!"
The old man with a bunch of keys pinned to his belt once again acted "chivalrously", and raised his arms.
"Driver, don't listen to this young man, drive the car to the police station and see if he's still tyrannical!"
He hit someone
He just let go...
As soon as Xiao Heyun was wronged, he realized what was wrong, and turned around in panic.
"Driver, don't listen to them, I didn't…"
"What's wrong with your waist, old man? Don't touch him, don't hurt your muscles and bones, do you want to call 120?"
"What do you call 120, call 110 first, don't let people run away!"
"Yes, yes, if you bully the elderly, you should teach him a lesson and call the police!"
"Take the car to the police station!"
"Don't be angry, old man, I'll help you call the police right away, and the police will teach you a lesson for this ignorant young man!"
"No!"
No no no no no!
boom!
In the explosion, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun closed their eyes in despair.
