Chapter 24 The Last Pocket

Hong Yuan went to work the next day.

There are a lot of things waiting for him in the hotel. After a busy day, he gets off work very late.

Wenxin has been waiting for him on the TV station.The two of them agreed to go together today, and found Jiang Zhongtian on the way, trying to find luck on him.

He went to the TV station to pick up Wenxin, and the two went to American-style Rogers for some fast food, and then drove back to the backer villa together.

Along the way, they didn't see Jiang Zhongtian's shadow. They only saw an old man herding sheep on the meadow beside the road. It was a group of black sheep.

Where did this guy go?
After he went crazy, he wandered on this road all day long, almost never leaving.

The two of them were about to reach the mountain villa, and Wen Xin said, "Forget it, let's go home." Hong Yuan turned the car around and drove back, saying, "No, we must find him." At this time, it was already dusk dim.

When they drove to the earthen house of the fish farmer by the road, Hong Yuan stopped the car, got out and walked towards it.

He came to the window of the earthen house, lay on the glass and looked in for a long time, then turned around and waved to Wenxin in the car.

Wen Xin got out of the car and walked over.

She also looked in through the dirty glass, and Jiang Zhongtian was indeed hiding inside.

He lay upright on the kang, as if dead.

The two walked in lightly.

Standing in front of the kang, Hong Yuan stretched out his finger to test Jiang Zhongtian's nose, and said, "It's still alive. It seems to have a fever, and it's hot to breathe." Wen Xin stood behind Hong Yuan, looking at Jiang Zhongtian silently. s face.

Hong Yuan started to feel Jiang Zhongtian's pocket.He rummaged through all his pockets and found nothing but dirt and grass clippings.

Hong Yuan grabbed Jiang Zhongtian's shirt collar and pulled it roughly, all the buttons fell off, revealing a black crew neck shirt.

Jiang Zhongtian still didn't wake up.

Hong Yuan touched his heart, and he exclaimed ecstatically, "There's a pocket inside!" Wen Xin's eyes widened instantly.

Just as Hong Yuan's hand went in from Jiang Zhongtian's neckline, he seemed to be struck by lightning, his bloodless face trembled, and his red eyes suddenly opened.

He found that someone was picking out his close-fitting pocket, and suddenly screamed, and grabbed Hong Yuan's hand, biting it.

Hong Yuan howled and withdrew his hand.

Wen Xin was petrified.

Jiang Zhongtian sat up, covering the secret pocket inside his clothes with both hands, staring at Hong Yuan in fear, shaking like chaff.

Hong Yuan rushed forward angrily and pushed Jiang Zhongtian down on the kang.

Jiang Zhongtian has not been able to eat food for several days, and has collapsed like a sick chicken.In contrast, Hong Yuan is like a strong cow.

Jiang Zhongtian was still struggling, kicking his legs desperately.

Hong Yuan rode on him and shouted: "Wen Xin, hold his legs!" Wen Xin rushed forward and pressed his legs with her body.

After a lot of effort, Hong Yuan finally pulled out the hard thing that looked like a savings account.

He was stunned.

Wenxin asked: "Did you take it out?" Hong Yuan didn't speak.

Wenxin looked at it with her head, and was also stunned—it was a three-inch photo of her.

This photo has been distorted by the rain, and the image on it has become mottled and blurred, but it can still be seen that it is Wen Xin, who is smiling slightly among the flowers and plants.

She stood up straight in a daze, and let go of Jiang Zhongtian's legs.

He kicked again and again, and at the same time frantically took back the photo, screaming something.

Hong Yuan also fell off his body.

Jiang Zhongtian held the photo tightly, looking at Hong Yuan and Wen Xin in horror, as if they were two demons.

He now has nothing but the dirt and grass clippings in his pocket, and all that is left is this photo.

Hong Yuan looked at Wen Xin.

Wen Xin also looked at him.

"Let's go." Hong Yuan said.

Wenxin didn't speak.

Hong Yuan turned and walked out.

Wen Xin looked at Jiang Zhongtian, he was dressed in rags and looked haggard, looking like a ghost in the dim twilight.

He was still staring at Wenxin vigilantly, as if he was afraid that she would rush up again and snatch what was in his hand.

Wen Xin turned around and walked out too.

On the way back to the backer villa, the two of them did not speak.

After the car drove into the backer villa, Hong Yuan turned his head and glanced at Wen Xin, and said softly, "Are you crying?"
