40, Chapter 40 Midnight Talk II
"We were wrong about the other party's strength at that time. When we realized it, Fang Jinxing and I were surrounded by each other. They were both outlaws with live ammunition, a group of beasts who could sell their parents for money. In their opinion, human life is the most valuable thing. We were all ready to explain there, but at this time someone stood up and proposed to detain the two of us as bargaining chips for negotiations with the police."
Chen Yexi's back head was pressed against the wall, and there was a little stubble on his slightly raised chin. His slender and powerful forearms were exposed outside, and he didn't mind being cold. His palms were a little thin and his wrist bones were protruding. After pausing, he continued: "After that, we were blindfolded and took them away. After my eye covers were removed, we found that we were in a dark place, with no lights, no water, no food, no sound, no smell, and no people coming to patrol. Only after our eyes adapted to the darkness could we distinguish a little bit of light from the gap."
"It's like feeling deprivation?" Jiang Hu asked.
"Probably." Chen Yexi nodded. Every time he closed his eyes, he could clearly describe what he felt during that period. The darkness was too unforgettable. Sometimes he couldn't understand why people always had so much wisdom to invent methods that were almost genius to torture themselves?
"How did you spend that time?"
"I was thinking about how to escape and where will their next batch of goods be transported to." Chen Yexi said lightly. The injuries seemed to have turned into memories under his strength. The men's eyes were too bright, and many people couldn't help but want to retreat when they were staring at such eyes. "I can't sleep because my heartbeat was too loud and it was so noisy that I couldn't sleep. But before I could find out the results, I saw Jinxing. The light shining in at that time made me unable to calm down for a long time. The two of them pushed him in. His eyes were a little dull. During that time, the person was so thin that he lost his body."
Chen Yexi shook his head: "I don't know if I was that ghost at that time. The voices of the drug dealers raised by the two bastards shocked me torment. They threw a knife between us, saying that only one person could see the light outside, and only one person could go out alive and let us make a choice for ourselves."
He stopped when he said this and looked at Jiang Hu. Perhaps because he got up from the bed, Jiang Hu's hair on his forehead was a little tilted, and the faint luster flowed, and he looked a little younger. Chen Yexi couldn't help but reach out and press down his raised hair: "Guess what happened later?"
Jiang Hu said honestly: "I don't know."
Chen Yexi seemed a little surprised: "I thought you would guess that I would not hurt my friends no matter what."
Jiang Hu said seriously: "In my opinion, in that case, no matter what you do, it is logical."
Chen Yexi curled his lips: "You just said that the environment always uses human characteristics to make people react, and the characteristics are certain. Are you just a greedy person in your heart who is afraid of death and betrays your friends?"
Jiang Hu choked his question, thinking that he needed to make a cup of coffee to refresh himself. Working overtime in the middle of the night is not something that humans do. If his mind is not so clear, it is easy to make mistakes.
Chen Yexi patted his head like a puppy: "Why are you so real?"
Jiang Hu was quite depressed. He suddenly felt that a donkey like Chen Yexi actually didn't need psychological counseling. He was just a fun person in his eyes. Chen Yexi's hand slowly slid down, hooking Jiang Hu's neck, and then the two brothers hugged his shoulders as if they were. Jiang Hu wanted to avoid it quietly, but found that Chen Yexi seemed to be immersed in his memories again.
"I thought at that time, what did the other party mean by 'Seeing the skylight outside'? It should be that we have mobilized negotiation experts and planned to mediate with them. These people played tricks and took one of us out to show us, and then used the other as a threat."
Jiang Hu's mouth twitched. He knew that Chen Yexi's nerves were astonishingly thick, but he didn't expect that this guy's nerves were so thick that he could challenge the limits of the human body. After being deprived of the senses, he could infer his own situation in an orderly manner through a few words. How could such a donkey man have post-traumatic stress disorder?
Is Director Mo finally having Alzheimer's disease?
The sudden physical closeness of the other party made Jiang Hu feel a little awkward. He rubbed a little to the side and broke free from Chen Yexi's claws. Chen Yexi also pretended not to care and took back his hands, put them together on his knees, as if he didn't feel anything: "Then I picked up the knife, stood up, rushed towards Jinxing, pretending to be staggering, stabbed the knife on the wall, and threw it on him. The bastards next to me smiled, and I took the opportunity to quickly talk about our situation in his ear and asked him to cooperate with me to act in a play."
"You want them to feel that you two are fighting each other to the point of exhaustion. Since they need a living person to show them to the negotiating experts, so naturally someone will come up and pull you away, and then you can wait for an opportunity to seize the gun?" Jiang Hu asked.
Chen Yexi gave him a shocked look and then smiled: "Why is my partner at that time not you?"
After he was silent, the smile on his face gradually faded away. The man's face was a little bleak and a little at a loss. His eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, he said softly: "He sent me a secret code to indicate that he understood what I meant. Then he cooperated with me and made a ball with me, rolling around on the ground, and the knife was spread between us... Later, he pressed me to the ground with breathlessness, with his hands unexpectedly strong. I raised my head and looked at him inexplicably, and saw his eyes - do you know that look of eyes? At that moment, I understood that he really wanted to kill me."
This time, Jiang Hu didn't make a sound, just opened his eyes wide.
"Then he stabbed the knife in my heart, steady...and so accurate, without hesitation. 'Accidentally, one blow will kill', this is what I said in his ear, I didn't expect, I didn't expect..."
Chen Yexi closed his eyes and smiled softly: "He would rather believe the words of those murderers and scum than believe me. He would rather kill me in exchange for his chance to go out alive than fight with me for the last time. He would want to kill me, my best brother, brother who has been with so much joy and sorrow for so many years would kill me, can you imagine?"
The collapse of faith in an instant, the person who could hand over his back to him in an instant betrayed himself, with swords facing each other, and in an instant... He was the only one left in the world, helpless and helpless.
"Where am I wrong?" Chen Yexi murmured to himself, then he looked at Jiang Hu and asked with a confused and painful look that the other party had never seen before, "Where am I wrong?"
Jiang Hu remembered Fang Jinxing, the enthusiastic and outgoing person described by everyone. He was originally a pair of live treasures with Sheng Yao. The two young people with overenergy went wherever they went. It turned out that 80% of the joy in the office was driven by these two people, and he was the most serious and responsible person at work. After he passed away, even Sheng Yao was quiet for a long time.
Since Chen Yexi's memory was blank, he could not tell how Fang Jinxing died. In the end, the bureau gave him the title of martyr according to inference and convention, and his family enjoyed the treatment of martyrs.
Now Jiang Hu finally understood that Chen Yexi's "amnesia" was actually a kind of silence, because telling such a truth would be a kind of harm to everyone, the other party, and even to himself.
Chen Yexi fell silent. His knees bent and his hands were changed to it, as if he was holding himself. This was an extremely insecure and almost self-defense posture. Jiang Hu hesitated for a moment, slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Shen Yexi's arm.
Chen Yexi raised his head and smiled at him, then hugged his shoulders suddenly and pulled him into his arms. His arms were hard and wide, and his arms were tightly tied to Jiang Hu's shoulder blades. Jiang Hu froze for a moment, then stretched out his hand to wrap Chen Yexi's back. Both men were hurt by each other, but they comforted each other in this silent and speechless way.
Of course, when Chen Yexi's hand began to slide down unknowingly, someone had a pure purpose of taking advantage of the situation.
Although it is not soft, it is so delicate... Chen Yexi thought.
Jiang Hu responded very much when his hand touched his waist, and laughed out loud: "Hey, I'm afraid of it!"
From now on, your salary will be deducted every month, and you will be deducted to the point of being poor. I can only rely on me to support you. I will touch wherever I want! Chen Yexi let him go unhappily, feeling vicious in his heart.
"What happened later?" Perhaps Jiang Hu, who saw Chen Yexi's face was not good and had a sense of crisis, changed the topic in time.
"...I avoided it, and rolled up on the ground in a mess. He forced me to hide from behind and kept dodging. The two bastards next to him were happy to see it and shouted. Someone stretched out his feet to trip me up. He stood and looked at me coldly. At that time, I thought, it would be better to die than people kill each other and let beasts watch the fun." Chen Yexi smiled softly and turned around and asked Jiang Hu, "Are you cold? Add a piece of clothing?"
Jiang Hu shook his head.
