Sanchakou

Chapter 6 Secretary
Jiang Zhongtian has accomplished nothing in Harbin City for the past two years.

He opened a small garment factory, specializing in maternity and children's clothing, and lost everything.

Later, he registered an advertising company and contracted two pages of advertisements for a newspaper.He runs non-stop every day. After a year, although he didn't lose money, he basically didn't make any money except for paying employees' wages.

He began to doubt whether he was a business material.

When he was a child, he was the only one who knew how to replace grass with grasshoppers, and he took advantage.But now, everyone knows how to trade grasshoppers for grass.

His fighting spirit softened a little.

In the end, he gave up the dream of money making money, and began to sit and eat, dreaming of life and death.

He often hangs out in karaoke halls, dance halls, massage parlors and other places, gets drunk every day, and sleeps with a chicken every night.

He has never had a regular girlfriend.

He doesn't want anyone to get close to him, he just wants to live like a shadow.

In addition, in his heart, except for Wenxin, no woman is worth marrying back home.He feels that women nowadays are getting less and less cute, and they don't even smell fishy anymore.

That night, Jiang Zhongtian went out again and came to a singing hall.

This karaoke bar is located in a busy city and there are many people.He sat down in a remote corner.

The rotating ball lights make the karaoke hall colorful and unpredictable.On the stage, there was a female singer with heavy make-up, singing an old song with unclear lyrics while dancing vigorously: My enthusiasm, like a fire, burned the entire desert...

Her ass is as full as the sun.

Jiang Zhongtian stretched out his hand to call a waiter, handed him a [-]-yuan bill, and said loudly, "I'll order "The Fruit of Midsummer" by Karen Mok." Now, he needs quiet music.

The waiter bowed down respectfully and asked, "What's your name, sir?" "Do you still need to sign up?" He said dissatisfied.

"This is our rule here." "Li Zuowen." He said.

"Thank you." The waiter turned and left.

After one song was over, the karaoke hall fell silent.

The waiter walked up to the stage, picked up the microphone, and said: "The following song is ordered by Mr. Li Zuowen at the third table, "The Fruit of Midsummer." While talking, he raised the hundred-yuan bill and said, "Thank you Li Sir." After he stepped back, another female singer with a butt that was fuller than the sun came onto the stage and began to sing.

Jiang Zhongtian was half-heartedly listening to the song when two men walked towards him.

He glanced at them warily.

They stopped in front of Jiang Zhongtian, and one of them asked, "Your name is Li Zuowen?" Jiang Zhongtian was stunned, and said, "Yes." The other had already lifted his foot and kicked him to the ground violently.People around screamed and jumped away, knocking over the table, with the sound of glass bottles breaking.

"Fuck your mother, you dare to pretend to be our big brother!" The other grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up, punching him in the face, so that his eyes were full of gold stars.

The female singer stopped singing and just stayed on stage, only the accompaniment music was playing in the audience.

After Jiang Zhongtian received countless punches and kicks, the opponent finally stopped.

He saw a bald head standing in front of him, smiling slightly at him.

He was dressed very plainly, a white T-shirt and a pair of half-worn black jeans.

Jiang Zhongtian felt that this person was very familiar, and immediately remembered: He is the little bastard Li Zuowen who fought with Hong Yuan!

"Li Zuowen?" he called out.

Li Zuowen mockingly said, "Are you calling me or yourself?" "You don't know me anymore? I'm from the No. [-] Middle School of Qihetai City!" Hearing the words Qihetai, Li Zuowen was stunned. .

"Do you remember, ten years ago, another boy and I were giving a girl away, and I met you, and I led that girl away, and you beat up the other boy..." Li Zuowen quickly Thinking about it, he said, "No, that big guy hit me." Then, he reached out and patted Jiang Zhongtian on the shoulder, saying, "My brother, my brother hit me hard." Do you need to go to the hospital?" "No, no." Jiang Zhongtian said with trepidation.

"Well, tell me your mobile phone number, and I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow." Jiang Zhongtian said his mobile phone number.One of the people who hit him saved it in his phone.

At this time, Jiang Zhongtian noticed that there was a woman standing behind Li Zuowen, her face was a bit blurred due to the dim light in the karaoke hall.

Li Zuowen turned around and staggered away.

The woman, and the two thugs, followed him.

The people in the karaoke stared blankly at the group of people leaving, but no one spoke.

When they reached the door, the woman looked back at Jiang Zhongtian.

The next day, Jiang Zhongtian did receive a call from Li Zuowen.

It was the woman calling.

She told Jiang Zhongtian that she had dinner at Shuntian Restaurant at eight o'clock in the evening.

Shuntian Restaurant is a famous restaurant in Harbin.Jiang Zhongtian arrived on time, and Li Zuowen was already waiting for him in the private room.

The woman also came, and she sat next to Li Zuowen.

There are two other people, both with crew cut and suits.They are not those two from last night.

Li Zuowen actually doesn't drink alcohol or smoke.Only his two brothers drank with Jiang Zhongtian.

During the dinner, Li Zuowen gave Jiang Zhongtian a business card with "Chairman of Universal Company" printed on it.

A crew cut smiled and said: "Universal Company means that it can do any business." The woman kept silent, eating quietly beside Li Zuowen.

She is left-handed.

She looks very elegant, without makeup, and she wears very simple clothes, a black T-shirt and a pair of white jeans, just the opposite of Li Zuowen, like a couple's outfit.

Jiang Zhongtian felt like she was a college student.

However, she smokes, and it is a very strong foreign smoke.

Before drinking, Li Zuowen introduced that she was his secretary.

Jiang Zhongtian's eyes occasionally collided with hers, and he hurriedly avoided them.He felt something in those eyes, like the breath coming up from the deep cellar, a little cold, a little damp, a little musty...

He suddenly realized that this woman was a bit like the unidentified woman standing next to Hong Yuan in the photo he burned!

It was a dead body, and she was still lying upright in the crematorium...

He immediately became uneasy.

He didn't have the mood to drink any more, and while he was slowly peeling the shrimp, he thought about the woman's eyes in his heart.

He repeatedly compared this face with the one in the photo.The eyes are not the same, the nose is not the same, the mouth is not the same...

Still, he had a strong feeling that she was like her in some deep, indescribable sense.

Is it the eyes?
No, the eyes don't quite look the same...

He looked up and looked at her again.

She is looking at him.

He hurriedly lowered his head and continued to peel the shrimp.

He once again affirmed the fluttering feeling in his heart.

Even though she was not similar in shape or spirit to the woman in the photo, he firmly believed that she was similar to her.However, he still couldn't catch what this "a trace" was.

The moment he put the shrimp in his mouth into his mouth, an answer popped up in his brain - this woman is also a hooker!

He immediately shivered.

He realized that he did not know when he possessed a special function, which is called "opening the third eye" in superstition and "sixth sense" in science. He can see an ominous thing on the face of some people.

Now, he is not afraid of the underworld Li Zuowen in front of him.

What he was afraid of was the woman sitting next to him.

He concluded: Li Zuowen will not live long.

Li Zuowen, kept in the dark, suddenly asked Jiang Zhongtian curiously: "Your name is really Li Zuowen?" Jiang Zhongtian recovered and said, "Yes." Li Zuowen said with interest: "What a coincidence. There are always people cheating on my name, that's why my brother beat you last night." Then he asked, "What is that big guy doing now?" "Which big guy?" "The one who beat me." "Oh, you mean Hong Yuan? He... is dead." Having said that, Jiang Zhongtian glanced at the woman consciously.

Her eyes fluctuated, like a snake swimming through the deep water, it was difficult for others to notice, but Jiang Zhongtian still caught it.

Then, she lowered her head, with her right hand hanging under the table, holding the teacup in her left hand, and drinking quietly, Jiang Zhongtian only saw her black hair.

She hid her eyes in her hair.

Li Zuowen was unaware of the subtle staring between them. He said lightly: "How can you say that you will die? He hasn't paid me for my medical expenses back then. It seems that I have to go to the underworld to find him for money." It is." This sentence is too depressing.

Jiang Zhongtian's heart fell into the abyss.

After everyone walked out of Shuntian Restaurant, Li Zuowen patted Jiang Zhongtian on the shoulder and said, "My fellow, if you have any difficulties in Harbin City, you can come to me." Then, without further words, he turned around and left.He walked to a black car parked on the side of the road.

The two crewheads walked on his left, and the woman walked on his right.

Jiang Zhongtian recalled sensitively that the woman in the photo was standing on the right side of Hong Yuan.

Li Zuowen's last sentence moved him a little.

In Harbin, Jiang Zhongtian was a stranger.He has been wandering here for more than two years, and no one has paid attention, cared, or cared for him.

He suddenly wanted to stop Li Zuowen and remind him something.

"Li Zuowen!" he shouted.

The woman turned around suddenly.

She seemed to know what Jiang Zhongtian was thinking, her eyes were shining with coldness, staring at his face.

Li Zuowen didn't even hear it. It was the woman's turning around that made him realize that someone was calling him, so he turned around.

Jiang Zhongtian said shyly, "Goodbye." Li Zuowen ignored him and continued walking.

Jiang Zhongtian kept looking at the woman's back.

Before she got into the car, she looked back at Jiang Zhongtian again.

On the third night, that woman called Jiang Zhongtian.

She said that Li Zuowen asked him to talk about something and asked him to meet at the Fifi bar 50 meters south of Shuntian Restaurant.

Jiang Zhongtian didn't want to deal too much with people like Li Zuowen, but he still agreed.

He still wants to meet her.

He hoped that through a little more contact, he would get another answer and prove his feelings were wrong.

For three days he had been tossing and sinking deeper and deeper in a sea of ​​fear.

He was afraid to recall the look in her eyes.

He was afraid of his accurate premonition.

He is afraid of everything.

After rushing to the Fifi bar, Jiang Zhongtian found that she was the only one there.

She was still wearing that black T-shirt and white jeans, sitting quietly in a corner, she saw Jiang Zhongtian as soon as he came in, she watched him from afar, waiting for him to walk over.

Jiang Zhongtian suddenly became nervous.

What about Li Zuowen?

What is she going to do?
Maybe, she just wanted to warn herself, because he saw something he shouldn't see.

Maybe, she is going to entangle herself...

He sat down across from her and smiled at her.

She smiled too, showing her white teeth.She looks better when she smiles than when she doesn't.

The bar was very quiet, there were no other customers except the two of them.

"Where's Li Zuowen?" "He'll be there in a while." She said, poured two glasses of wine with her left hand, raised one and took a sip.

Jiang Zhongtian picked up another cup and took a sip slowly.

"Why do you always look at me?" She looked at the wine glass and said with a smile while playing.

"You look beautiful." Jiang Zhongtian felt that his flattery was disgusting.She is not beautiful at all.

"Really?" She looked up at Jiang Zhongtian.

Jiang Zhongtian felt a bit of vulgarity from her expression, and felt a little more at ease.She may be a secretary.

"Actually, I don't like Universal Company, and I always wanted to leave." She said suddenly.

"Why?" "You seem to be a literati?" She changed the subject inexplicably.

"I used to edit magazines." "Literati like to drink heavily. Come, let's have a drink." Jiang Zhongtian raised his glass and clinked with her, and drank it down.

After drinking a glass of foreign wine, Jiang Zhongtian became a little dizzy.He can't drink much alcohol.

"In the past, I used to write scribbles and write poems, but I stopped these years." Jiang Zhongtian couldn't restrain the enthusiasm of male editors for young women in literature: "What university did you graduate from?" "Medical school." "You're not from the area by the accent." "I'm from the south." "Then why did you come to the north?" "To find someone." "A man?" "A man." "You're enough Infatuated." Suddenly a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Yes, I am very, very infatuated. Whoever I fall in love with, he will never get rid of me in this life." Jiang Zhongtian said again Alarmed, he tentatively asked, "Have you found it?" She sighed, and said, "I guess I'll never find him." Then, she filled two wine glasses again, and did it alone.

"Drink," she said.

Jiang Zhongtian looked at her and did it too.

At this time, Jiang Zhongtian was a little drunk, and he asked: "Well, Li Zuowen, why hasn't he come yet?" While pouring wine, she suddenly said: "Let me give you a quick brain teaser - there is a person, he said, But he didn’t come, never came, what do you think is going on?” Jiang Zhongtian suddenly thought of an answer—this person died in a car accident on the way.

Li Zuowen is dead?
The limbs are mutilated, the head is torn apart...

"No, I don't know." He murmured.

She laughed again.Her face shook before Jiang Zhongtian's eyes, a bit like a phantom.

"I drank too much." "No problem, I'll see you later. Come, have another drink." At this time, the foreign wine had lost its taste in Jiang Zhongtian's mouth and turned into white water.

The two drank one glass after another, and the two bottles of foreign wine were gone in a blink of an eye.

Her face became whiter and paler.

Jiang Zhongtian's face became redder with drinking.

He felt the whole bar spin, and she spun too.

She seemed to have turned to his side and gently lifted him up.

He staggered out of the bar door, and when the wind blew, his chest was overwhelmed.

There was a white taxi parked at the door, and the driver seemed to be a woman.

He slipped in, dazed, and the woman sat beside him.He fell top-heavily into her arms.

"Where do you live?" Jiang Zhongtian couldn't tell whether it was her asking or the driver asking.

He said vaguely: "Huairou apartment..." The car started.

He felt as if his body was floating upwards and sinking downwards. He felt that he was approaching hell.

There was a fragrance on this woman, not perfume or rouge, but a woman's body fragrance, faint and fleshy, which made his bones tingle.

In the past two years, he often soaked in the chicken coop and was used to smelling the false pungent aroma. At this moment, he was swallowed by the water like a fish that had been thirsty for countless days on the beach.

He fell into a drowsy sleep.

After an unknown period of time, he felt the car getting more and more bumpy in a daze.

He woke up.

He suddenly thought, from that bar to his residence, there is a flat street, how can it be so bumpy?

He struggled to raise his head and found that the car was driving in the wilderness!
There was a dirt road with pits and hollows in front, and the headlights shot out, making the dirt road pale.There are crooked willow trees on both sides, and the dense willow leaves are like messy hair.

In the distance is boundless darkness...

He suddenly remembered Hong Yuan's death: one night, he left with an unknown woman by mistake, and the car crashed and killed...

He suddenly woke up half of his wine, sat up and stared at her.

The reflection of the headlights shone on her face, making her look even whiter.

"Where is this heading?" "To my house," she said softly.

"Where is your home?" "Nangangzi." "What is Nangangzi?" "It's a village, and I rented a house there." The female driver never looked back, she was driving toward the dark distance with full concentration, Jiang Zhongtian only saw her black hair.

"Why did I go to your place?" "Just now, the car drove to Huairou apartment, but I couldn't wake you up. I don't know how many numbers you live in, so I had to bring you back." While talking, the car really drove into A village stopped in front of an iron gate.

After paying the fare, she helped Jiang Zhongtian out of the car.

Jiang Zhongtian looked around, the village was pitch black, no one lit a lamp, and all the houses were dark, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.

He didn't hear a bark.This is not the norm in rural areas.

She took out the key and opened the iron gate, then reached out to help him.

Jiang Zhongtian felt that she was not here to help him, but to drag him.

He whispered: "I want to go back..." "Where to go?" "Huairou apartment." "When you go back, it will be dawn." After finishing speaking, she closed the iron gate.

In fact, at this time Jiang Zhongtian hadn't completely sobered up yet.He had a vague feeling that her house seemed to face north.

The house was very simple, as if there were only two things: a bed on the floor covered with a black and white grid sheet; and a painting on the wall, which was the famous black and white woodcut "The Passion of a Man".Maisie Lehrer's works have been beating the drums for the proletariat and the death knell for capitalism.

After entering the door, she took off Jiang Zhongtian's clothes.

Then, she also took off her own clothes.

Jiang Zhongtian suddenly asked drunkenly: "What's your name?" She fell onto the bed with him in her arms, and whispered: "I'll tell you when I'm done." This woman looked very peaceful, but she was actually very fanatical.Like a greedy child eating a popsicle, she sucked Jiang Zhongtian over and over again, until only a thin wooden stick was left.

Jiang Zhongtian went up and down between fairyland and hell, he felt that he would not survive tonight.

However, he was glad that he got such a way of death, much luckier than Hong Yuan.

When the first ray of dawn climbed into the room through the window, she fell off Jiang Zhongtian wearily, calmed down for a while, and said, "My name is Liang Sanli." In this way, Jiang Zhongtian and Liang Sanli got together.

Jiang Zhongtian found out later that Liang Sanli quietly left Universal Company the day after Li Zuowen invited him to dinner.

The house in Nangangzi Village was rented by her after she left Wanneng Company.

She hasn't gone out to look for a job yet.

"Why did you resign?" Jiang Zhongtian asked her.

"No reason." She said lightly.

At this time, they were sitting together on the balcony of Jiang Zhongtian's residence basking in the sun.Nineteenth floor.

Looking from a distance, the tall and short buildings look like stones of all sizes, densely packed and endless.Small human beings are like grass between the rocks, growing tenaciously.In a cramped, dangerous, and stressful environment, everyone has learned the acrobatics of survival.

"Did Li Zuowen do something...excessive to you?" Liang Sanli said clearly, "I have slept with him a long time ago." Jiang Zhongtian felt a little uncomfortable.

Liang Sanli turned to him, and said: "He is the boss of the underworld, are you afraid that you touched his woman?" Jiang Zhongtian diverted the conversation: "When did he come to Harbin?" "Like seven or eight years? At first, he was engaged in fruit wholesale in Harbin City, bullying the market, and no one dared to provoke him in the market. Later, he stopped doing business altogether and recruited a group of brothers to collect protection fees. During that time, several people were cut off by him successively. Hamstrings. Later, he transformed himself into the director of the demolition office. When those nail households heard his name, they obediently pulled themselves out. Last year, he established Universal Company, and he can do whoever’s business he wants ." "He hogged you?" "No, I voluntarily." "You like him?" "Don't know." The sun was setting in the west, and they entered the house.

Liang Sanli walked to the writing desk and read the "Bible".

This book is wide and heavy, with gold letters stamped on the brown cover, and the four corners are wrapped with brass leather, like an exquisite box.

Turning it over with her left hand, she said, "Do you believe it?" "No." "Then why do you still read it?" "I just want to learn the art of deception. One of the ten commandments is that you must not kill, but he himself is killing people. There are 90 people who have been killed by him. There are 150 people who have no numbers. Countless." Liang Sanli turned to the title page and said, "Hong Yuan?" Jiang Zhongtian suddenly shot his gaze over.

"Isn't this your book?" she asked.

Jiang Zhongtian went over to have a look, and there was indeed the word "Hong Yuan" on the title page.

At that time, he and Hong Yuan each bought a "Bible", but he took the wrong one on the day he fled the company.Only then did he understand why there was a photo of Hong Yuan in this book!
"Wrong one," he said.

"You seem to have mentioned this guy at that dinner." "Yes, he's dead. I'll never get my Bible back." "You and him are friends?" "Best friends." Liang Sanli sighed, and said: "This book should be regarded as a relic. Your book has also become a relic." Then, Jiang Zhongtian told Liang Sanli about his friendship with Hong Yuan, and his face was full of nostalgia and sentimentality.

Of course he didn't mention the huge sum of money.

Liang Sanli listened very carefully.

When Jiang Zhongtian talked about a woman driving Hong Yuan's car and drove directly into a deep valley, both of them were killed. laughed.

Jiang Zhongtian said in amazement: "You can still laugh at such a horrible thing?" She stopped laughing and said lightly: "I was thinking, if the doctor can repair that woman's face bit by bit, and reproduce her original appearance." , that might be even scarier."
