In the name of father

Chapter 106

The old lady of the landlady randomly found a piece of paper and copied Xiao Mo's ID number on it, then accepted the man's three-month rent plus a deposit of 1000 yuan without any ambiguity, and left straight away——that dexterous man Young people are not necessarily better than her, watching the old lady rubbing her hands while cracking melon seeds without looking back downstairs, Xiao Mo felt very speechless——

He couldn't figure out how the old lady got the confidence to let a man who was almost completely unfamiliar to her be locked up in the same room with a little girl.

What if I met a bad person who abducted and trafficked children?

If the little girl wakes up and finds that her kidneys are gone, it will be so much... While thinking this way, the man looked back at the little girl on the sofa, and then the man realized that it was not only the old lady who was derailed from the normal logic, but also the old lady. There is the little girl's true self - she was not awakened by their previous movements at all, and the girl is sleeping soundly at the moment.

On the coffee table, there was a pencil and a book of something like a winter homework issued by the school. At a glance, it was obvious that the electric heater brought back from some second-hand electrical appliance store was on. Xiao Mo walked in He took a look, then sighed, took away the homework book that had been blackened by the heat of the electric heater, and turned off the electric heater.

After finishing a series of actions, Xiao Mo glanced around, and found that, apart from the sofa that was completely occupied by this little girl, there was not even the simplest chair in the living room, a greasy, tattered chair. The rot is probably because the dining table is placed in the corner, and a layer of dust can be seen from a distance - I don't know how long it has been since the owner of this room has eaten on it seriously.

Xiao Mo walked into his room and took a look, and sure enough, he saw only a bare spring bed and an old unsightly bed in the dirty, empty room that was almost used as a utility room. There was a table of its original color, and on it was something that was probably a tape recorder——

There is a shower room, although to be precise, it is a cubicle covered with cement, so small that you can touch your buttocks when you lift your legs, and you can bump into Jiji when you turn around.

There is also a toilet, but it's not a toilet, but a very careless squat pit, where all the "I am a toilet" reminders are limited to the pit that is slightly dug in from the floor of the toilet— There are no tiles for visiting China.

All of the above are the "senior suites" that the old lady called.

The environment was even worse than the tube building he used to live in - if he hadn't paid 2000 yuan, Xiao Mo wished he could turn around and live in an express hotel for ten days and half a month.

While the little girl on the sofa was soundly asleep, Xiao Mo looked around the house. He found a broom and mop in the room where the little girl and his father probably lived. After sweeping the floor and mopping it a few times, he could barely see the pattern and color of the floor tiles on the floor of his room. After throwing away the mop, the man fetched water to clean the spring bed and the broken table, the only two things. After cleaning the furniture carefully, the tape recorder was thrown away—when Xiao Mo finished packing everything and opened the window again, letting the natural light from the window shine in to dissipate the stale air in the room due to the absence of the owner for too long, the room It seems that it barely looks like a place where humans can live.

Putting down the labor tools, the man went to a nearby shopping mall to buy a set of bedding and a mattress for himself. The price was not expensive, and the total cost was only five hundred yuan. I ordered an extra wardrobe for 500 yuan, and a desk for 200 yuan... A series of daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrush, underwear and underwear were bought in the supermarket by the way. The moment Xiao Mo picked up the ten yuan and three pairs of underwear, he suddenly Realizing that the pair of underwear on his body was probably his last pair of brand-name underwear, the man thought about this, and imitated the old man who was also picking out underwear around him with complicated emotions, picked out three pairs, and put them in his own. Buy in the car.

The man bought a box of instant noodles and some snacks that children like. When he passed the deli area, the man who never liked meat stopped. After thinking about it for three seconds, he bought another A roast duck.

Back and forth, Xiao Mo made the calculations when he walked out of the shopping mall. He spent about 2000 yuan on purchasing furniture and daily necessities.

The furniture probably would not be delivered to the mall until a little later, so the man went home and waited. When he opened the door with the landlord's key, he found that nothing had changed in this temporary "home" and everything would have changed if he left. It was the same as before, except that the little girl on the sofa turned over and was sleeping soundly face inward.

Xiao Mo conveniently put the food bag in his hand on the table, returned to his "room", sat down on the empty and cold spring bed, took out his mobile phone, and habitually wanted to see if there were any missed calls or calls Short message, but when he entered the inbox, and saw the two text messages that had already been opened, and the callers were two long mobile phone numbers, the man was stunned, and the fingers holding the mobile phone suddenly felt a little cold.

Xiao Mo stood up and closed the window.

Returning to the spring bed and sitting down again, Xiao Mo found that the icy metal chill emanating from the spring bed spread all the way from his buttocks to his whole body... For no reason, the man began to miss the sofa at home. More than ten hours ago, he was still sitting on that sofa. He was not alone. There were two handsome young men sitting beside him, one of them was holding his hand in his own. Warm palms, another person put an overly strong arm around his waist——

That sofa is very big, but three big men can sit on it so that it looks very crowded.

Xiao Mo wanted to think about life.

It's just that the man didn't expect that the first key word when he thought about life was "empty, lonely and cold".

So fucked up.

While thinking about when the mattresses from the shopping mall would be delivered, the man closed his clothes and lay down on the spring bed - he didn't take much sleeping pills in the milk last night. In order to prevent accidents, the man actually got up early this morning, When he ran away, he was worried and considered almost every detail. Xiao Mo only felt like a mouse who was about to be treated by a cat at any time. His nerves were tense to a certain extent. In addition, cleaning the room before I wasted some energy, and at this moment, I was quietly lying on the cold spring bed alone, with the sound of the wind whistling outside the window, my nerves gradually relaxed, and it didn't take long for the man to feel a little tired ——

Xiao Mo didn't know when he fell asleep.

In his dream, he dreamed that the two brothers of the Xiao family found him again. They came to the front of the tube building, furious over their father's "running away from home". Guided by him, he walked through the dilapidated corridor and stood at the door of Xiao Mo's "new home". At the door, it was Xiao Yan who took the key with a dark face and opened the door.

They broke in.

Entered Xiao Mo's room.

They made a lot of noise, and I don't know if they woke up the little girl who was sleeping outside—Xiao Mo really wanted to open his eyes to see, or jump up and run away, but he found that he seemed to be in a nightmare, and the whole Lying on the bed, unable to move, he could only "open his eyes", lying on the cold bed with his eyes closed, feeling that his two sons had come to his bedside——

They were watching him silently.

After a long time, Xiao Yan lowered his head, and his fingertips slid past his ears in a very ambiguous way, all the way to the inside of his collar, then he stopped, and asked the man "why" in the tone he was used to— ——Xiao Yan's question was very simple, but Xiao Mo knew that it was him in a dream, and the eldest son asked him "why did you leave".

Xiao Yan didn't speak, but Xiao Mo could feel his youngest son looking at him,

Xiao Mo in the dream wanted to struggle to wake up, but he seemed to have fallen into a black swamp. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't open his eyes or move even a single finger of his own—until he felt that the little son He stretched out his hand, and suddenly tugged at his belt in a very dangerous gesture...

belt.

At this second, Xiao Mo felt goosebumps all over his body, and then without warning, the man opened his eyes.

However, in the pair of black pupils that regained clarity in an instant, what was reflected was not the handsome young faces of the young masters of the Xiao family, but a strange middle-aged man with an unshaven beard and bruises on the corners of his eyes and lips. The man's face—— Xiao Mo paused suddenly, and shrank back subconsciously. At the same time, he could also feel that his sudden waking up seemed to have frightened the man who was squatting beside his bed. The whole person leaned back as if scalded by boiling water, then lost control all of a sudden, and sat down on the ground.

Xiao Mo turned over and sat up in silence, and glanced out the window, only to find that it was almost dark, and the furniture he bought was placed at the door of his room—I don’t know when it was delivered, probably when he was sleeping. When it was ready, his "roommate" signed for him.

"You were having a nightmare just now?" The middle-aged man stood up, patted his buttocks, and glanced at the man sitting on the bed who was extremely fair and elegant even when he was panicking. He had seen many people and told him He, the black-haired man in front of him shouldn't be someone who will appear here.

Xiao Mo let out a hum, stood up from the bed, sniffed his nose, and smelled a faint fragrance. The man looked towards the door and found that the food bag he had placed on the dining table had been opened. The little girl who slept happily has woken up, and she is sitting on a tattered chair she found somewhere, while she is roasting the fire, she looks very happy holding the roast duck that Xiao Mo bought. Gnaw.

It looked like he had been starved for 300 years.

As if sensing the man's gaze, the little girl turned her head and grinned at the beautiful uncle in the room with a silent face. Her little face was covered with oil, and duck meat was stuck between her teeth... Xiao Mo I have never seen such a bold and unrestrained eating scene in my life. After being stunned for a while, I reluctantly replied to the little girl with a not-so-sincere smile.

Xiao Mo retracted his neck, and glanced at the man leaning against his door—only then did he realize that the man's complexion was actually very ugly, sallow and sallow, and his eyes were bloodshot, like a ghost.As if he didn't care about the man's scrutiny, the latter just shrugged, patted Xiao Mo's furniture standing by the wall indifferently and said, "I saw you sleeping, so I will sign for you, that roast duck Just take it as a thank you."

"..." The man stood up without saying a word, and glanced at the middle-aged man by the wall with a very cold look, "One roast duck is not enough, otherwise why would you consciously want to take money from my pocket."

Almost the moment Xiao Mo opened his eyes, he immediately knew what it was that was pulling his belt before—to be precise, it was something pulling his pocket.

This realization made the man who had just woken up from his nightmare feel even worse - coupled with the fact that he hadn't eaten all day and his blood sugar was low right now, the black-haired man looked sluggish and unable to lift his energy .

He raised his eyelids, glanced at the middle-aged man with a bruised nose and swollen face standing not far from him, and then glanced at the little girl in the living room outside the door, sitting next to the stove, holding a roast duck and eating a happy face—the faces of the father and daughter. The completely different contrast made Xiao Mo feel a bit of irony.

"You're so cowardly, your daughter probably doesn't know?" Said in a low voice, Xiao Mo passed by the man next to him, and didn't bother to look at the man who had just been exposed for stealing. He came to the sofa and sat down unceremoniously, then opened the grocery bag he bought, took out a can of fruit from it, opened it and ate it——

After eating a few pieces of canned fruit, the discomfort in the stomach and the feeling of low blood pressure finally dissipated. When the man raised his head, he found that the little girl sitting not far from him had stopped crazily eating the roast duck. Lifting his head, as if frozen in place, looking longingly at the canned fruit in his hand, Xiao Mo froze for a moment, looked down at the can in his hand, then raised his head to look at the mouthful It's oil. The little girl, who looked especially greasy under the orange light of the electric heater, finally, after three seconds of silence, took out another disposable fork from the food bag, forked a piece of yellow peach, and handed it to the The little girl's mouth.

The latter opened his mouth without hesitation, and took the whole piece of yellow peach into his mouth like a vicious dog grabbing food.

"Are you hungry?" Xiao Mo asked.

The little girl hugged the roast duck and nodded frantically—just when Xiao Mo thought she would ask him for another piece of canned fruit, but at this moment, he saw the little girl sitting not far from him turn her head and look at The man who had been standing motionless by the wall showed a bright smile and said in a cheerful voice, "Dad, come here quickly, this handsome uncle invites us to eat!"

The person by the wall moved, but did not come over immediately.

Xiao Mo didn't speak - it seemed to be a silent resistance to what the little girl said, and it seemed to be acquiescing.

Until what seemed like a century passed, the man sitting on the sofa suddenly laughed, and said lazily without much emotion: "Come and sit, we will be neighbors under the same roof from now on, so what are you being polite about?"

After the man said that, he saw the person standing behind the door hesitantly stand up. While walking out, he also took a look at Xiao Mo with vigilant eyes-this look made Xiao Mo stand on the spot. I froze in place.

Generally speaking, a person's face is easy to forget, but if a person has a pair of special eyes, then maybe it can make people more impressive-and at this moment, the person who was trying to steal Xiao Moqian just a second ago... The man's glance reminded Xiao Mo of a person—a person who was almost a passer-by in his life.

11 years ago, he had just reborn from Yuan Zhen to Xiao Mo, under the three-story boxing ring of Ye Wu, he bought an old boxer who had passed the golden competition cycle by comparison.

Xiao Mo remembered that he bought and won that game, winning tens of thousands of yuan.

And the boxer who won tens of thousands of dollars for him was standing in front of him at this very moment.

Those eyes seemed to be the eyes of a lone wolf who had gone through vicissitudes and lost all vigor, but they seemed to be the key to the lock of memory, which once again aroused Xiao Mo's memory.

"you……"

"Dad, come and sit down—oh, you're really annoying, I've reminded you many times, why don't you take off your makeup and sit down to eat with me?" The little girl's cheerful voice interrupted Xiao Mo's words.

Makeup remover?

The man froze for a moment, raised his head, and saw the bruises on the face of the man sitting opposite him. While he was wondering, he heard the man fade away from his previous guarded eyes, and seemed to be gently touching his daughter. Head: "Dad has a heavy role in the scene today, and it took a long time to shoot, so the makeup has already melted on the face and is difficult to remove. It may take a few days to completely remove it."

The role is heavy?

"What," Xiao Mo was trying to capture information in the conversation between the father and daughter, but at this moment, he saw the little girl make a face with her piece of gnawing on a roast duck and said, "That's ugly!"

The middle-aged man showed an expression of pretending to be angry—although this expression was simply inappropriate for a person of his age: "Smelly girl, isn't ugly your father?"

"That's not true!" The little girl stuck out her tongue with a smile, "No matter what, you are my father!"

Xiao Mo: "..."

The man in his birth year who just ran away from home said that the scene in front of him, "Father's kindness and daughter's filial piety" blinded his dog's eyes—he put the can on the coffee table gently—and the sound successfully made the people at the table The two turned their gazes to him, Xiao Mo pretended that he hadn't done anything, touched his pocket, took out a cigarette and held it to his lips, the man squinted at his father and daughter, thought for a while Finally, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to his "roommate". Unexpectedly, after a pause of almost a few seconds, the other party waved his hand in a ignorant manner, and said to him with a smile: "I am trying to quit smoking. gone."

Xiao Mo nodded and lowered his head—this action made the man miss the flash of fear in the other party's eyes.

Xiao Mo lit the cigarette and took two puffs before he said calmly: "Brother, I have seen your play."

Xiao Mo fell silent, watching with satisfaction the way the other party raised his head and looked at him in astonishment.

"Back then, I thought you had passed the golden age, and no one would bet on you being 'popular', but I still bet on you being 'popular', and it turned out to be a small profit." Xiao Mo sneered, "I didn't expect such a Years have passed, are you still acting?"

The man is very polite, he replaced all the boxing scenes with "acting" - no matter what reason the man sitting opposite him at this moment does not want his daughter to know about his boxing, that is someone else's business, Xiao Mo didn't want to care about it, he didn't forget why he lived in this place that was so messy that even pigs wouldn't want to live in it——

The man raised his long legs, and kicked the middle-aged man who was sitting stupidly across the coffee table: "How about you take me to 'acting'?"

The middle-aged man looked surprised: "You will?"

"Very good." Xiao Mo grinned while biting his cigarette butt, "It's really a top-notch acting."

"How can someone like you act?"

"You shouldn't be judged by your appearance," Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and scratched his white chin, "People are important to eat, to make a living, no matter what they want to do or what they don't want to do, they dare to do anything come out."

"Where did you watch my 'acting'?"

"Night Dance."

"I'm not 'acting' out there now."

"why?"

"It's 'Hollywood' over there, no 'old stars'." The middle-aged man smiled, and without much emotion, he took out a lighter from his pocket, held it in his hand, and touched it with the other hand while he was eating. Dongxi's daughter's head, "What's more, there are too many 'stunt performances' there, I don't want Xiaotong to lose his father so early."

"Your daughter's name is Xiaotong?"

"Doesn't it sound good?"

"It sounds nice and cute." Xiao Mo said, "I also have two sons."

"Oh, are you dead? Don't tell me, I won't lend you my daughter sympathetically to show your fatherly love."

The other party's very fluent tone made Xiao Mo's forehead twitch: "Not dead, alive and kicking."

"Then you were kicked out by your 'alive' son?" The middle-aged man smiled and took a bite of the roast duck that had been bitten into a mess by his daughter's hand. Before the man could answer, he stood up from the side of the coffee table , patted his buttocks, "For the sake of inviting us to dinner, help you out with this—whether you always 'play tricks' like me, or walk into 'Hollywood', it depends on your own ability."

Xiao Mo sat on the sofa without saying a word.

The mood is a little complicated.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was standing by the table and began to stretch his muscles and bones, and asked inexplicably, "What are you going to do?"

"You don't think I'll just run around in the morning and finish the job?" The person who was asked smiled, "There is an event at the hall tonight, and the boss said that everyone must be present, do you want to go together? I can introduce you to him by the way—if you can put down one or two at that time, maybe the 'blind date' operation will go more smoothly."

Xiao Mo: "..."

Is this an invitation to cut him off?

... What are you doing.

Is it the rhythm of a random messenger running in front of the emperor to invite the emperor to "conquer in person"?

The man stood up speechlessly, but at this moment, he saw the face of the person standing opposite him suddenly change, that sallow and sallow face suddenly became a bit ugly, Xiao Mo frowned, looking at the person standing in front of him. The man who still had a careless smile on his face suddenly darkened in seconds, and seemed to be a little rough. He picked up the paper that was thrown on the coffee table and blew his nose, then he threw away the paper and walked to the toilet——

After a while, Xiao Mo heard the sound of the faucet coming from the toilet.

"What's your father doing?" The man asked the little girl beside him who seemed to be used to this.

"What can you do?" The little girl shrugged with a smile, "I'm addicted to cigarettes!"

The man's brows frowned even tighter, and he was about to ask something more, but at this moment, the man had already come out of the bathroom again, his face was dripping wetly—the corners of his eyes were red as if He cried just now, and at the same time, he still held a lighted pipe with sparkling lights in his mouth, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Xiao Mo from a distance, The bruised and swollen face was hidden in the smoke: "I still don't know your name?"

"Yuanzhen."

"Good name - there used to be a very popular 'Hollywood actor' with this name, but there was an accident during the performance and he died early." The man sneered, "My surname is Zhang, they all call me 'Idleman Zhang', you also applaud, you're welcome."

The idler Zhang was talking, but found that a man named "Yuan Zhen" was standing not far away at this moment, frowning and looking at him without saying a word—subconsciously took off the cigarette dangling from the corner of his lips , turned his head to let Xiaotong do his homework obediently at home, then he patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder, then opened the door without saying a word and walked out first.

Xiao Mo followed behind him.

The two soon arrived at a certain block at the junction of the North District and the West District - when they got there, there were already hundreds of people standing there in layers. They greeted him very familiarly, and no one asked who Xiao Mo was. They were originally drawn from different halls, and it was normal for one or two people they didn't know.

The idler Zhang smiled, and whistled like an old hooligan: "You are blessed, Ah Zhen, this formation—it's really a Hollywood blockbuster, the kind of "Transformers"—tsk tsk, boss Why is there a tendency to destroy the West District directly here?"

Xiao Mo twitched the corners of his lips, and suddenly felt extremely uneasy when he heard these words—but at this moment, he saw a black car coming out of the corner without a sound—the man subconsciously hid in the crowd Dodging, as expected, he saw the black car stopped beside the crowd, and then the first person to walk out of the car was a young man with dark wine red hair and beautiful facial features.

This young man looked very indifferent. When he walked out of the car, he was like a star looking around at his fans, with no ripples in his cold gaze—even though most people in the world became a little bit a little bit cold because of his appearance. excited.

"You are blessed." Xiao Mo heard the idler Zhang whispering in his ear, "It's the first time I participated in this kind of activity, and I saw the leader of the hall - very young, right, with a good-looking face, this kind of person is born It is to give other ordinary human beings the feeling of the Creator's malice."

Xiao Mo didn't speak, just calmly, when Li Tang's eyes swept towards them, he moved behind the fat and strong brother beside him - then in the gap between the crowd, he I saw another person coming down from the other side of the black car.

black hair.

Amber pupils.

His handsome face was not inferior to that of Li Tang's, and his thin lips were pursed into a cold straight line - this seemed to indicate that at this moment, the handsome young man with amber pupils was in a bad mood.

"People in the West District are going to die tonight," amidst the increasingly restless atmosphere of the crowd, idler Zhang turned his head and said to his "reserved new roommate" who was a little too silent, "Have you seen 'Tyrant'— — Well, it’s actually the first time I’ve seen him too, tsk tsk, I couldn’t help but recognize him because of his aura — I heard he’s good at fighting, but I didn’t expect him to appear tonight — oh yes,’ Tyrant, do you know——the eldest son of the Patriarch of the Xiao family, I heard that he is ruthless in his methods and shady in his actions. The name "Tyrant" was given to him by the people below us. I think he is very suitable for him. .”

Xiao Mo: "..."

"Hello, Ah Zhen?" The idler Zhang turned his head, looked at the silent black-haired man who was staring at their "superior boss" for a moment through the crowd, and sneered a little funny, "I said You, you can't even blink your eyes when you watch 'Tyrant', don't you fucking like men?"
