My Tang You

Chapter 21 Chapter 21

Three or four days passed in a blink of an eye.

Tang You didn't go to tutoring this day, and got up early in the morning to go back to the countryside.

Today is grandma's death day, so he went to worship grandma's grave, kowtowed, burned paper money, sent flowers, and talked with grandma.

After staying in front of the tomb for half an hour, Tang You decided to go back to the small building to have a look.

Stepping on the winding country road, the smell of fresh soil, flowers and plants lingers in the nostrils, and the sound of birdsong is blown intermittently by the wind.

Tang You slowed down his breathing, and his body relaxed consciously.

Every time I said it, I thought I was afraid of going back to the countryside. When I really set foot on this peaceful land, I felt not only sadness, but also dusty memories and nostalgia.

When his parents had an accident at the age of ten, Tang You lived here with his elderly grandmother.

It was a poor but peaceful day. In addition to sadness and sadness, there was always grandma's rough and warm hand, gently comforting his immature back and restless heart.

Tang You had a sweet childhood, and when he was with his grandma, no one taught him, but he also learned to undertake various housework.

I still remember the first time he learned to cook, it was so unpalatable that he was about to vomit, but grandma rolled her eyes with a smile.

He probably has no natural talent for cooking. No matter how simple the stir-fry is, the taste he concocts can never be described in words.

The wind blows.

In the distance, people's voices and pigs' screams can be heard.

Tang You opened his eyes, and saw an unexpected scene: a chubby pig with four fat legs, bouncing towards his direction.

After the pig, an old couple followed and chased and intercepted them.

The old man's hair was all gray, and when he saw someone watching the excitement in front of the pig, he hurriedly greeted Tang You, panting, "Hey! That young man! Help stop him!"

Tang You was caught off guard by the roll call, facing the galloping pigs, Tang You was a little dumbfounded, "Huh?"

To be honest, he was a little flustered, but he still opened his arms slightly subconsciously.

He was impressed by a roommate in his sophomore year.

That roommate was once injured by a cow and was unable to go to school for three whole months. Finally, because he couldn't keep up with his study progress, he took a year off from school.

He wouldn't be injured too, would he?

But pigs are pigs, and cows are cows. Pigs should not have the brute force of cows, and their lethality should not be at the same level... right?

Tang You's heart was agitated, seeing that pig was getting closer and closer to him, he really wanted to run away!

He is not a qualified pig-stopper, he is afraid of being turned on his back.

As a result, people's potential is endless. When the pig rushed to him, he looked at the old couple who were tired and bent over behind him, and by a strange coincidence, as if a god had helped him, he grabbed the pig's ears!

Later, the pig Henghengjiji was arrested and went home, and the old couple stayed with Tang You for a quick meal, which made Tang You very embarrassed.

After eating and chatting, they naturally talked about the past.

When Tang You's parents had an accident, he lived with his grandmother. No one in the village knew about it.In a blink of an eye, it was really not easy for the poor baby to grow up.

The old woman was soft-hearted, wiped her tears, and went to fry a plate of small bacon and stir-fried vegetables as an extra meal.

After bidding farewell to the pig and the old couple, Tang You returned to the dilapidated building.

The iron lock was eroded by the rain and was full of rust, so it couldn't be opened no matter what.Tang You borrowed some kerosene from a neighbor, poured it into the keyhole, and fiddled with it for a long time, at least he could unlock the house and enter the house.

When returning the oil, the neighbor also sighed, probably not seen for a long time, and lamented that Tang You had grown up, and finally told Tang You: "A few days ago, someone from your family came to see you, saying that they were distant relatives."

Tang You was puzzled, he didn't think any distant relatives would come here to look for him.

When the Tang family and his wife had an accident, those relatives were alienated as far as they could, and only grandma took him by herself.Later, when grandma passed away, he did live in a distant relative's house, but he has always been in touch with that family.

Since he worked part-time, he would send a sum of money to that company every month, and he would stop when he was ready to send the number in his heart, and then he would not contact him again.

As a reward, even in that family, he was not treated kindly, but the family did not starve to death.

Tang You pondered for a while, but didn't take it too seriously. He returned the kerosene and thanked him. He went back to grandma's small building and planned to tidy it up.

How to describe it?Seeing the place where I lived when I was a child, now covered with dust and weeds, I always feel a little bit sad.

Just tidy up a little bit, and look like it.

The house where no one has lived for a long time is dark and humid, and there are so many mosquitoes in summer that people want to cry, but Tang You tidied up the house anyway, and he was so tired that he couldn't straighten up.

At this time, dusk had enveloped the village, and the phone rang.Tang You took it out and saw that it was Xu Qinchen.

Xu Qinchen wanted to see him off during the day, but he wanted to stay by himself, so he refused.

When the phone was connected, Xu Qinchen's voice came from the receiver: "When will you come back, the typhoon misses you."

As if to match the owner's nonsense, the typhoon added a background sound in a timely manner: "Woof!"

Even if it was a joke, Tang You felt that being cared for was wonderful, like licking a sip of honey.

He cheered up and smiled: "Another hour and a half."

Since moving into Xu Qinchen's house, he and Xu Qinchen have almost three meals a day together, except that he went to make up lessons for Lu Zhouzhou.

But not tonight, he didn't grasp the time well, it was too late, Xu Qinchen shouldn't be kept waiting.

Tang You said: "I was about to call you too, you can eat first, don't wait for me, I'm a little late today."

Xu Qinchen didn't listen to him, the sound of keys came from the phone receiver, and there was the sound of asking for other things, "Eating alone is the most boring thing, give me the address, and I will pick you up."

It was indeed faster to pick up the meeting by car, Tang You didn't refuse any more, and reported the address.

The village still had gravel roads, the road was not wide, and it was hard to find, so Tang You reported the location of the step-down station at the head of the village.

Now he has to start from home, walk 10 minutes to the decompression station, and wait for Xu Qinchen there.

At night in the countryside, if there is no moonlight and no street lights, it will be pitch black at all.

Tang You lived in City A for a long time, and almost forgot this point. Tonight, the stars are dim, and the moon has disappeared. The sky and the earth are completely dark.

All the young and middle-aged people in the village go out to work, and there are not many old people left. The old people go to bed early, and every household is in darkness.

There was always something wrong with him along the way, and he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

It just felt a little spooky.

After walking a few more steps, I realized that there were vague figures around, and there were more than one.

In the middle of the night, a few people walked on in silence, how weird it looked.

Is it haunted?As soon as this idea came to mind, the strange country tales I heard when I was a child flooded into my mind.Tang You was shocked, and broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He couldn't help but secretly recited the Bodhisattva in his heart - Guanyin Dashi Taishang Laojun - while reciting, his legs were shaking, he was so afraid of ghosts!

But obviously, Guanyin and the others are really busy and have no time to talk to Tang You.Tang You was quickly stopped by someone, and the visitor shouted loudly: "It's him!"

Tang You was taken aback by this violent shouting, and even the crickets singing happily in the grass nearby stopped making a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the beam of the flashlight hit Tang You's face, Tang You was dazzled, and now he couldn't see clearly.

Several big men quickly surrounded Tang You. For a while, he didn't know whether it was more terrifying to meet ghosts or to meet a few people. It is facing enemies from all directions.

In this situation, anyone would have no idea, who are these people?Now how to do?

If he hadn't been dazzled by the lights, Tang You would probably run away.But just being stimulated by the strong light, I couldn't see clearly in the dark, and I didn't know where to run if I wanted to escape.

In the chaos, Tang You only heard the sound of chaotic footsteps and his own breathing.

Night Breeze intermittently sent the muffled sound of fists and feet landing on the body. Tang You resisted many times to no avail. After ten minutes, he was finally subdued, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Tang You was kidnapped and tied to an abandoned warehouse. After being stunned, he was thrown aside, unconscious.

Soon, another person was also thrown into the warehouse.

If Tang You was awake at this moment, seeing the person who was thrown in, he would definitely be troubled again - it was the sleeping Cheng Zihan.

In fact, Tang You was really troubled when he woke up.

With the faint light coming from nowhere, Tang You found that Cheng Zihan's face was magnified in front of him in a shocking way, and even the black eyelashes on his face were trying to slap him on the face.

Tang You had a splitting headache and felt extremely irritable: What's going on? !Why is Cheng Zihan so disgusting?

Subconsciously, he wanted to stay away from Cheng Zihan, but the truth was, he found that his hands were bound behind his back, and his legs seemed to be tied together, unable to push them apart.My whole body was numb like a needle, and I couldn't move at all.

what happened?

Are you dreaming?And still haunting the bed?

Tang You panted and struggled for a few seconds before the memory slowly came back to his mind - he was going to the step-down station when he was surrounded by people.

Yes, Xu Qinchen...

Xu Qinchen called him and said he was going to pick him up, but he didn't answer, are you worried now?

His head hurt badly, but he still managed to open his eyes wide, trying to look around the environment.

The world is tilted and gray, and Tang You can't see clearly, but it doesn't prevent him from drawing a useless conclusion: he was tied up.

Location: unknown.

Kidnapper: Unknown.

This discovery made Tang You suddenly feel powerless.

This group of people is really strange, why tie him up?He ate enough for himself and the whole family was not hungry, and his family members were all gone, so what is the value of being tied up?

The medicine used to stun him was really powerful. At this moment, he was groggy and his nerves were paralyzed. Not only was he not nervous at all, but he was a little sleepy.

But he knew in his heart that they were all tied up and couldn't sleep, so he had to find a way.

Tang You closed his eyes, bit the tip of his tongue, and tried to wake himself up.Unexpectedly, there was a sharp pain on the tip of the tongue, followed by the smell of blood in the mouth.

Tang You frowned, almost mad at himself.The bite was too strong, and he couldn't be more sober now.

With blood dripping down the corner of his mouth, Tang You tried to stretch his fingers, regained a little consciousness amidst the numbness and pain, and then groped on the ground.

He touched the bulge on his waist with his hand, and explored it. Although the bulge on the ground made his waist suffer, but at the moment he was extremely grateful.

He rubbed the rope against the protrusion slightly, and the rope became a little hairy.

There were too many mosquitoes around, and Tang You was bitten all over his body terribly.The same was true for Cheng Zihan, with countless small red dots bitten out of his delicate face.

It was also for this reason that none of the group of people who kidnapped them was willing to guard nearby, and only one was left outside the warehouse.

The man outside the door was swearing, as if he was very dissatisfied with his errand, and after a while, he was bitten by mosquitoes and ran away, scratching his arms and going to a windy place.

I don't know how long it has passed, Tang You's whole body is covered with sweat, and the sweat gets into his eyes, causing bursts of stinging pain, and the sound of rubbing also makes his teeth sore.

He stretched out his almost numb fingers to feel the degree of damage to the rope, and immediately woke up when he touched it—it turned out that it was only a little worn out.

Is it the medicine that stuns him, the residual power of the medicine is still there, making him lose any strength in his hands, or is the broken rope too strong?

Tang You gritted his teeth, increased his strength, and continued to grind.

I don't know how long it took, but the dereliction of duty guard came back, and within 2 minutes, the replacement also came.

The newcomer was holding a lunch box and wheezing through the lunch box, looking into the warehouse from time to time.

"Don't tell me, I saw it, and it looks a bit like it."

"Born by a father, can't it look like it?"

"Sin, I didn't have a good life with my son, but the illegitimate child..."

"Nagging like a mother-in-law, eat quickly! I'm still waiting to go home to take a shower and take my wife, bah! Damn, this mosquito is so fucking poisonous."

"Sooner or later, you will die on your mother-in-law's belly!"

……

What?What are they talking about?

After doing the same boring movements for a long time, gradually, Tang You's consciousness became blurred again.He was unresponsive and his hearing was foggy.

It seemed as if a century had passed, so long that Tang You felt that he had been wearing the rope endlessly, and finally felt that the rope binding his hands was showing signs of loosening.

Tang You's spirit was shaken, and he struggled hard, but failed to break free.

Not discouraged, he took a deep breath and continued to grind. At the same time, he was still thinking about a question: when he ran away later, should he let Cheng Zihan fend for himself, or take him with him?
