Dawn is coming

Chapter 21 This Is Everything I Have Done

Gao Xinye went out with the treasure in his arms.

Like the kind of first-time dad who holds the lamb by its armpit and lifts it up like a swing as he walks.Huobao yelled in resistance at first, but it was really interesting after playing it like this a few times. Gao Xinye put it on the ground after leaving the residential building. It was still lying on the car door, its tail cocked and shaking non-stop.

Gao Xinye hugged it to his lap, the door was still open, so Jian Chengqi walked over and stood inside the door.

"You wanted to drive me away yesterday, so why can't you bear it today?" Gao Xinye rubbed it vigorously, and he flicked the long and curly wool, barely covering the eyes of the living treasure.

"The hair should be cut too." He turned his head and looked at Jian Chengqi, "Should I cut it after I come back? It won't take more than a week."

"Okay." Jian Chengqi agreed, and also picked up the living treasure from Gao Xinye's lap.He noticed Gao Xinye and looked at the bracelet again, he didn't want to waste time.Gao Xinye then closed the door and started the engine, but did not step on the accelerator immediately.

All his windows were rolled down, he raised his hand that was resting on the window sill, touched the back of Jian Chengqi's neck, and asked, "What is that receipt?"

"It's a gift. I'll give it to you when you come back." Jian Chengqi made a fool of himself, and looked down to stay on Gao Xinye's chest.He had never seen that necklace before, and he wouldn't have noticed if Gao Xinye hadn't moved too much when playing with the live treasure, and the pendant dangled out of his clothes.He slowly stretched out his hand, Gao Xinye refused without expression, so he picked it up and looked at it.

It was a military badge.Gao Xinye's name, position and date of birth are written on it.Behind the military plate is a series of numbers, and the traces seem to have just been engraved a few days ago.

"Do you like it?" Gao Xinye asked.

Jian Chengqi had never seen this kind of thing before, and thought it was normal to be rare, so he nodded.He didn't expect Gao Xinye to tear it off without hesitation and put it in his palm.

"It was originally intended to be given to you, and it is not considered a gift. You should keep it for me." Gao Xinye said, pointing to the side with the name on it, and said, "This is an honor."

"That's all I've ever done." He flipped to the other side. "I'll leave it to you to judge."

Jian Chengxi didn't quite understand what Gao Xinye meant by the sentence, but he still accepted it and put it in his pocket. After taking it out, he patted the outside of the pocket, which meant he had put it away.During this process, Huobao was afraid that he would fall, so he grabbed Jian Chengqi's forearm with his front hooves. Jian Chengqi held onto it again and said to Gao Xinye, you have already given me a gift.

"Why sheep?" he asked, why not cats, dogs, or other pets.

Why is it just a little sheep that will never grow up.

"In the tree cave, you mentioned a painting called "Innocent." Gao Xinye asked, "Do you remember?"

Of course, Jian Chengxi remembered that he was very interested in art, and in order to write stories, he checked countless texts and painting materials, most of which he still remembers. "Innocent" by Willia-Adolphe Bouguereau is one of his favorites. In the painting, the holy girl wears a white gauze, tilts her head slightly, holds a baby in one hand, and a sheep in the other, standing barefoot in the mountains .But the war is also the second division of cultural relics, and this painting was also lost. It was not until four years ago that the troops of the United States invaded a private mansion in the exile country. Discover.

And the sniper of the attacking team was Gao Xinye.

"So I saw that painting with my own eyes, and I stood just a short distance away from it," Gao Xinye said, "At that moment, all I thought of was you."

"I'm leaving." Gao Xinye was reluctant, but it would be too late if he didn't leave.While rolling up the window, he quickly poked his head out and kissed Jian Chengqi on the face, and then they smiled through the glass, Jian Chengqi looked at his mouth shape, and said, "Wait for me to come back".He is still very restrained and self-sustaining. Knowing that Gao Xinye can see himself in the rearview mirror, he is too embarrassed to wave goodbye.

But after the car left his sight, he still stood there for a long time. Instead of going back to the residential building, he went to the canteen and left the lamb there.Zhu Zhihua was still looking at the shop today, he really wanted to ask what happened that day, but seeing Jian Chengqi's expression was quite relaxed, no matter how curious he was, he didn't want to bring up the old story again.

"Have you found a good house yet?" Zhu Zhihua pointed to the bulletin board outside, "I think the residents' committee means to stop renting cheap basements, saying that it will affect the spirit of the city, and the deadline is only two days, and then they will come to check if the If you find people living in the basement, just..."

Zhu Zhihua swung his hand across his neck and stuck out his tongue exaggeratedly. Jian Chengqi thanked him for the reminder and said that he would move in a few days, without mentioning that he was leaving the city.

"Then I will definitely miss you." Zhu Zhihua was talking about the lamb, bent down, and carried the treasure to the table.The live treasure was excited, and jumped back to the ground easily. Zhu Zhihua was also happy, shaking his hands in front of it like a cat, causing it to keep jumping in the small space inside the counter.Seeing that they were having a good time, Jian Chengqi also laughed, and told Zhu Zhihua that he would be back in a few hours.

He took the bus to a bookstore in the urban area, bought new pens and paper, and wrote a letter while sitting in the coffee shop of the bookstore.Jian Chengqi's handwriting speed is also very fast. He liked to write when he was a teenager. At that time, there was no computer. He could write five or six notebooks in a stationery store in the village for three yuan a piece in a winter and summer vacation, and his hand speed was also very fast. Just practiced like this, and the handwriting is clear.

He wrote three full pages of that letter, recording everything that happened that night three days ago in detail.He was originally afraid that the more he wrote, the more emotional he would be agitated, but his writing speed was getting faster and faster. He was the calmest when he wrote about the alpha police officer, which made him change his original intention of posting the letter to the mailbox of the director of the city bureau. Instead, he went to the police station by car.

He made a lot of noise that night, so the beta male police officer sitting at the information desk saw him coming in, stood up quickly, and asked him if he needed help.I don't know who went in to notify, the old director of the police station came out soon, and invited Jian Chengxi to sit in the office.Jian Chengqi was completely taken aback, thinking that he had come to the wrong place, and when the director made him a cup of tea and put it in front of him, he didn't even have the nerve to take out the letter.

"Comrade, I've heard about you. The ranks of our public servants have grown. Some people have a problem with their thinking. They really have problems. They can't speak well, and they don't have the consciousness of serving the people at all." The chief said sadly, "The policeman who took the record for you last time has already been suspended, and we held a plenary meeting yesterday as a warning."

"There is still this money..." The old director pushed a thin envelope, which contained the money that Andre put on the table that day, "It's a good thing you came, otherwise we would definitely send it back in person."

"..." Jian Chengqi didn't expect this to happen, and didn't know what to say.

"As for your case," the old director frowned, gave an exaggerated "tsk", and continued, "After the alpha sobered up, he knew what absurd things he had done, and he regretted it, regretted it very much, and admitted his mistake." The attitude is very sincere. He is still locked up in the detention room of the police station, and just this morning he asked us if we could see you, and wanted to apologize to you face to face."

"...He wants to apologize to me?" Jian Chengqi made me think I heard it wrong.

"Yes, he also said that if you want to sue him, you can sue him, anyway, the attitude of admitting your mistakes is very good." The director is very lively, and the words he said are very vivid, "We also got to know it, and the neighbors all said that he is a person Quite honestly, he really drank a drink that night, that's why... he really regrets it, if you are willing to reconcile, his demolition money—"

"I never thought about asking for money." Jian Chengqi interrupted, lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Can I see him now?"

"Of course." The director stood up, walked in front of Jian Chengqi, and led him outside.They soon came to the temporary detention room of the police station. Except for the innermost one, more than one of them was closed.There was only the Alpha squatting in that room, and seeing Jian Chengqi coming, he was obviously taken aback, then stood up on his knees, and walked to the iron bars on his feet.Jian Chengxi was nervous for a while, and took a step back, and the director helped him by the shoulder, telling him not to be afraid.

"This is the police station, we will protect you, don't be nervous, don't—"

"You don't look like her at all." Alpha suddenly said, interrupting the director's comfort.

"Like who?" Jian Chengqi asked quickly.

"I'm sorry..." Alpha didn't answer Jian Chengqi's question, but apologized.It can be seen that he is really trying his best to be sincere, but he is still gloomy as if he has something on his mind, and his attitude is not at all unlike the regret that the director said.

"Let's say more, didn't you regret and cry yesterday, didn't you?" The director was also anxious, winking at Alpha from a place Jian Chengxi couldn't see, and urged him with a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Called yesterday None of us can afford to offend the important person who came here, so don't lie to yourself!"

The alpha heard it, took a deep breath, and his attitude was even more reluctant than before: "Are you—"

"Like who?" Jian Chengxi held on to the question, twitching the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Your little bitch?"

Alpha was aroused, and instantly became violent. If he hadn't received a special injection, his pheromone would have been released long ago.Jian Chengqi looked at him indifferently, grabbing the iron railing like a wild beast, his eyes seemed to eat him.The director was also angry, and sternly told him to calm down, and muttered something, "Isn't it a deal?" Alpha then rudely spat on his face, scolding him very dirty.

"Say the hell, what you said back then was good, let me take the money to buy the house, what did you say, don't miss everyone's demolition money because of our family alone, I'm fucking! Just to tell you, my little girl..." Alpha's expression was very ferocious, "The whole wall fell on her, in order not to be investigated by the superiors, it was obviously a work-related accident, and you reported her as suicide, suicide your mother A forced suicide! It was an accident! Accident! Accident!"

He repeated hoarsely: "That was an accident! Let me tell you, don't let me go out! I'm out! I don't want anything, I'm going to the capital to seek justice for my little girl!"

"What are you looking at?!" He turned to scold Jian Chengqi, "You...!"

He couldn't continue cursing suddenly.

At the same time, he kept holding his breath until his chest swelled, his neck and face were red.

That tone was let out by him like crying, he raised his head, his eyes were also red.

"Why did I..." He scratched his hair in extreme frustration, paced around the detention room, still cursing.

scold myself.

He also repeated it over and over again, saying that Jian Chengqi was obviously nothing like his little girls.

Seeing that alpha's painful look, Jian Chengxi's hatred also changed, and he turned his head and walked out of the detention room with mixed feelings.The director called him from behind, but he didn't stop and didn't look back.After leaving the gate of the police station, he originally planned to go straight, but he walked to a police car and stopped.The beta policewoman who had helped him before was leaning against the car door, smoking a cigarette in her left hand.

"Have you met him?" The Beta policewoman raised her chin, motioning for Jian Chengqi to come over and talk.Jian Chengxi was still very grateful to her, and walked over without any vigilance.The policewoman took out the cigarette case, and Jian Chengqi waved her hands repeatedly, saying that he didn't smoke.

"So cute," the policewoman smiled.She had just finished smoking that cigarette, Jian Chengqi thought she would quit, but she seemed to be very worried, so she took another cigarette out of the pack and lit it.

"The one inside is my brother," she said to Jian Chengqi, "it's not my relative. I grew up together when I was a child. He was tall and big before he split up, so he asked me to recognize him as my brother. Who will bully me in the future? If so, he will bully him back."

"Later, his grades were not particularly good, so he stopped studying, and found a very ordinary job. His wife was looking for a beta. He is an alpha, and he is more or less machismo, but his wife tolerated him and talked to him. The relationship has always been good. Later, when their area was to be demolished, the township government did not pay them compensation according to the standard and forced them to sign. If he wanted to go to the capital during the congress, the deputy mayor and our director went to do ideological work for him, and promised that he would not make trouble, and that all the relocated households in that area would receive additional compensation according to regulations.”

"Persuading and persuading... He was also shaken, but the autopsy result did not say that her daughter-in-law had a two-week-old gestational sac in her stomach, but only wrote that the cause of death was suicide. After that, his family, friends, who knew him or not His, more or less monitored him, afraid that if he didn't come back one day, he would go to the capital to make things worse, so that none of them could get compensation. He couldn't accept his wife being 'suicide' in the first place, Being stared at like this, I didn't drink too much..."

The policewoman lit another cigarette and said, "I saw you and him lying on the ground the other day, and I thought I had mistaken the person." She shook her head helplessly, "Alcohol is really not a good thing."

"Smoke is not good either." Jian Chengqi lowered his head and said.

The policewoman froze for a moment, then smiled.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that he was really not like this before." She still didn't pinch the cigarette, but continued to smoke, "Sometimes I also think, is it because people have turned bad? , or this world makes people desperate. Or, this world has always been like this, burying the truth of my brother alone, others can get benefits, sacrifice the rights of a few people, and protect the interests of the majority. Then what if I am not other people, not the majority? What if I am also the one who was sacrificed, will I have nowhere to go one day. "

The policewoman smiled helplessly, and wanted to light a cigarette again. Jian Chengqi grabbed her hand and persuaded, "Stop smoking."

"I won't come here again, and I don't hate your brother anymore," he said, "Stop smoking."

The policewoman put the cigarette case back, lowered her head, and shook a little after pulling her hand out of her pocket.

"We won't be the ones to be sacrificed," Jian Chengqi didn't want to see her so depressed, touched her back comfortingly, and took her cigarette, "A few people will unite, and one day they will change." into the majority."

"So we have to live well," he said to the policewoman, and he also told himself, "We have to live to try to change."

He said: "It is only then that we can see with our own eyes that all this is slowly changing."
