Chapter 17 (1/2)

On Friday, a day passed quickly in a relaxed atmosphere, but it rained when I got off work.

The rain was so urgent and heavy that they chatted while waiting for the rain to stop in the office.

Xiao Xiaoyu suggested: ”what are you doing this weekend? It's OK. Let's go to the movies. We've made several new movies recently. They're all good. ”

”It's agreed this week to see my grandfather.”

Xue Meng had no choice but to show his hand: ”I haven't been to see him for a long time. I don't think I will be expelled from my home any more.”

Jiang said, ”I'm going to the hospital on Sunday to meet someone.”

Uncle Yao is discharged from hospital on Sunday. He has to help.

Xiao Xiaoyu had to shrug his shoulders and said regretfully, ”let's make another appointment next time.”

Just at this time, the rain became smaller, and the three said goodbye to each other and went home.

Without an umbrella, Jiang Shu took a taxi home. The taxi driver is a middle-aged man. He should be a local. He speaks with a strong Jiangcheng accent. Seeing Jiang Jiu holding the black backpack in his arms, he joked: ”the brand-name bag on the young man's back?”

Taxi drivers come and go. They have seen many girls carrying famous brand bags. On rainy days, they would rather get wet than let their bags get wet. But it's the first time that a man has done this.

Sitting on the co pilot's seat, Jiang Jiu wiped the rain on his bag with a paper towel and said with a smile, ”the kitten at home is in the bag.”

The driver's uncle was shocked and said, ”what kind of cat is it? Why didn't you hear it

”It's not a cat of any breed.” Jiang Shu zips up his backpack.

The driver vaguely saw a yellowish brown kitten wag its tail and meow softly.

”You're a good cat. It's not noisy.”

Jiang Shu took this as a compliment and said with a smile, ”yes, it's obedient and easy to raise.”

The lion dragon in the bag immediately gave a clear meow, as if responding. The furry paw also stretched out from the backpack to play with Jiang's fingers.

Jiang Shu lives in a neighborhood not far from his unit, and usually rides a bicycle for more than ten minutes. But when you drive, you have to turn around and make a big circle. Coupled with the rain and traffic jams, the speed slows down.

The driver is obviously a talker and can't stop talking. He drove the car radio and began to talk about the latest news with Jiang Jiu.

The car just passed an intersection, and the driver said to Nunu, the fork road on the right hand, ”that's the way into the community. A woman died last night, don't you know?”

Jiang Shu nodded: ”what's the name of hongjingyuan? I saw the news in the morning. I said that the manhole cover was stolen, and the man fell down and broke his head. I didn't rescue him. ”

But the driver seemed to be talking about something strange. He lowered his voice and said, ”I heard that the woman was killed.”

”Murder? It's impossible, isn't it? ”

Jiang Jiu read the news seriously. The police didn't mention the murder. It should be a case of accidental death. The deceased is not a native of Jiangcheng. It seems that she came to work in Jiangcheng. Hongjingyuan lives in the house she rented.

The driver sniffed with a sense of superiority, shook his head and said, ”how can those reports on the news be believed? I have an old watch who lives in that neighborhood. He said that the woman is not a serious person at all

He showed a smile that men all know, and looked a little obscene: ”she is in the skin and meat business. It seems that last month, she took the guests home, but the price didn't agree, so they fell out. As a result, after the guest left, the woman called the police, saying that the man was strong and raped her. ”

Jiang Shu frowned: ”it's said in the news that she is a bartender.”

The driver said, ”what's the bar? Which serious woman can go to work there? Moreover, my old watch said that the woman was dressed in fancy clothes. She went out in the dark every day and came back in the early morning. I know all about the neighborhood. She's on the stage. ”

There was a superior tone in his voice, and his words were solemn, as if he had mastered all the truth.

Jiang Jiu only read the news, and his knowledge of the dead was limited to the news. He was not willing to echo the driver's unfounded malicious speculation, so he just turned to look out of the window.

However, the driver was very excited and continued: ”it is said that she was retaliated because she angered the guests by calling the police that time. If you ask me, she deserves it. You've got to call the police for what I want. Isn't that a whore? Do you still want to build a memorial archway? ”

Just at this time, the car had already arrived at the gate of the community, and Jiang Jiu scanned the code and paid for it. When I got off the bus, I still couldn't help saying: ”the specific situation of the case is subject to the police notice. We'd better not pass on those wild guesses, saying that it's stomatology and retribution. ”

The driver didn't seem to expect that the young man who looked pretty would refute him and curse him for retribution, so his face immediately came down. He yelled a few words in Jiangcheng dialect, then deliberately stepped on the accelerator, and the wheels rolled up, and the splashing water roared past Jiang Jiu.

Fortunately, Jiang was able to hide quickly without being splashed with water.

He sighed, shook his head and strode into the neighborhood with his backpack in his arms.

What he said just now was not to scare or curse the driver.

Buddhism has three evils: mouth, body and mind.

Words can be used to kill people with swords and guns, so the deepest evil karma is oral karma.

The fourth commandment also says: don't lie.

However, in today's society, there are too many windows to speak, and many people can't control their speech desire. They are happy to talk about the ”truth” they speculate, express their views like speakers, and point out the country. I just hate that I can't let everyone know my insight.

This is true of the comments under the news, and so is the driver just now.

Jiang Shu came home, took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and relaxed.

Outside the rain reduced, but has not stopped, rain line connected. After eating a piece of jade and ordering a takeout, he cradled the lion dragon nest in his arms and played with his mobile phone in the sofa

In the Department group, Xue Meng is make complaints about his grandpa in real time. His grandfather is an old revolutionary. His favorite is Mao. Zhu. Xi. If you come to the door, you have to recite a section of Mao. Zhu. Xi quotations... Comrade Xue Meng is out of luck today. Now he is being rushed to his study by his grandfather. He is full of indignation and unwilling to copy Mao. Zhu. Xi quotations.

It's like talking about stand up crosstalk.

Jiang Jiu flipped through the chat records and laughed as he watched. The negative emotion he had just been hooked up by the taxi driver soon dissipated.
