    Chapter 45 Humbert Humbert Twelve

    Fei Du had a cold sweat on the corner of his forehead. He didn't know if it was hot or painful. His face was as white as a piece of paper.

    Luo Wenzhou stood to the side with a grief-stricken expression, as if he was in silence. After two seconds of silence, he couldn't hold it any longer, he turned his head to the side, and laughed wildly.

    "Young man, you can't do that," said the old doctor from the orthopedics department next to him, while treating Fei Du's injured left arm, and said ramble, "It looks like your living habits are not good, right? , I don’t like sports. I know where to go to play computer all day long. Is my body healthy? I wondered, what’s so fun about that shit? Don’t think you are young, you have osteoporosis in your 20s Some are..."

    Mr. Fei, who had never played on the computer late at night, was speechless.

    Fei Du was near the Chenguang intersection when he was hit by a car that suddenly rushed from the right and hit the co-pilot. The driver was a novice who had just picked up the car for two months. The man was carried away by an ambulance. Because I was not familiar with the road signs, I took the wrong turn, and somehow found myself going the wrong way, and I happened to see Fei Du's large SUV that was comparable to a tank coming towards him. The conclusion drawn by the police.

    All in all, the cause of the accident was that the driving school was too watery, and Fei Du was unlucky.

    Fortunately, the car Fei Du drove today had a high safety factor, and his response was very timely. Therefore, the damage to the other party's car was more serious, and he was basically a near miss—not even his glasses were broken.

    ... But the glasses are strong glasses, and Mr. Fei's precious body is a bit dwarfed by that, and his left arm was cracked by the airbag that popped up.

    Fei Du insisted that it was because of his posture.

    What was even more unfortunate was that, somehow, Fei Du's rare láng moment happened to be seen by Luo Wenzhou's wicked thing.

    Luo Wenzhou accompanied him on a day trip to the hospital. After learning about Fei Du's injury, he carried Mr. Fei's firm-willed glasses and couldn't stop laughing. Sweep away.

    "Doctor, these bourgeois hooligans don't play with computers, they go out every day to sing and sing every night." Luo Wenzhou didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, and added fuel to the side. prove."

    The old doctor stared at dragonfly-like eyes and looked at Fei Du's vampire-like face through his reading glasses: "Well, it's a bit."

    Fei Du: "..."

    "I'll fix it for you first, the crack is not serious, just come over in two days to dismantle it, remember not to do strenuous exercise, quit smoking, alcohol and color," the old doctor urged earnestly, "Also, be sure to pay attention to calcium supplements, Young man, otherwise in ten years, you will be a 'crackling'!"

    The last sentence somehow made Luo Wenzhou's laugh, this person was going crazy, and he would probably live on a joke like this for the rest of his life, until he drove Fei Du home by the way, and from time to time he let out weird laughter.

    Fei Du felt pity for him a little bit, feeling that Team Luo's life was really miserable, and in his boring life, he could only comfort himself by picking up such low-level tastes.

    The two originally had an appointment with Teacher Bai and the other with Bureau Lu. After this battle, they had to make an appointment at the same time.

    "The intersection ahead is on the left...you have already driven," Fei Du rolled his eyelids angrily, "Master, can you read the navigation?"

    "Didn't you realize that I was going to abduct you and sell you? I've already contacted the buyer." Luo Wenzhou went straight down the wrong route and drove all the way to a shopping mall. He parked the car and rushed to the ferry. With a wave, "Go, get out of the car, the buyer is waiting for the inspection in front."

    "Could you please pack me a little better and sell it?" Fei Du looked at his wrinkled shirt angrily, tried to move it, and felt that there were probably many bruises all over his body, and it hurt everywhere. So he sat in the car where he didn't move, and weakly said to Luo Wenzhou, "Bring the buyer here yourself, I can't walk anymore."

    Luo Wenzhou didn't ask for anything, he just sneered at his seemingly paralyzed virtue, put the sturdy man without glasses in the car, and left alone.

    Fei Du thought he was planning to do something along the way. He was a car stalker himself, and he had no reason to ask others to serve him home, so he didn't care.

    He adjusted the co-pilot's seat back again. It took up most of the space in the car. He almost lay down, half-closed his eyes and leaned back. In the endless pain, he remembered what he had just encountered. That car accident.

    Misreading the road signs, mistakenly using the accelerator as the brake... These things are not uncommon. Whether it is subjective or intentional, or the negligence of the driver when he is in a hurry, no one can tell.

    The only difference is that the former is a murder and the latter is just an accident.

    In this way, the car is really an excellent murder tool.

    Just when Fei Du was thinking about these things and was about to fall asleep, the car door rang next to him, and Luo Wenzhou came back.

    Fei Du glanced at him casually, and was shocked to find that he was actually carrying a cake in his hand, and the pompous cardboard box was full of candles and silly cartoon characters.

    Fei Du subconsciously ducked in the direction close to the car door on the other side, as if Luo Wenzhou was not carrying a cake but a bomb.

    "Haven't seen the birthday cake? What are you hiding? The cake didn't intend to insult you." Luo Wenzhou put the cake box away, "Didn't the guy who handled the accident registered your ID card? Don't tell me the date on your ID card is wrong. of."

    Fei Du was stiffer than the plaster on his arm, and his whole body entered an unstable state where he wanted to jump out of the car at any time.

    In the end, however, there was none. In Luo Wenzhou's car, where folk songs, popular songs, and folk songs were mixed together, Fei Du maintained this state until Luo Wenzhou parked the car downstairs in his own house.

    "The doctors have said that you should quit smoking, drinking, and coloring. I see that you have a cast. Don't go out and show off today. Just experience the life of the sunset with the 'middle-aged and elderly'." Luo Wenzhou tilted his chin at him. , "Get down."

    Fei Du stared at him for a while with inexplicable eyes, carefully raised his aching arm, and slid out of the car half paralyzed.

    He walked too slowly, and Luo Wenzhou had to stop and wait from time to time: "As for what, young master? Fortunately, our house is on the first floor, otherwise we would have to carry you up there."

    Fei Du didn't say a word, didn't reply.

    He was like a cat that was in someone else's territory for the first time, and every bone on his spine was full of vigilance. In this way, he moved step by step to the door of Luo Wenzhou's house. As soon as Luo Wenzhou opened the door, the "head of the family" stuck out a small round head that had been prepared early, and looked out.

    Luo Wenzhou: "Go in, Luo Yiguo, don't get in the way!"

    Luo Yiguo's field of vision was blocked by the large cardboard box in his hand. Suspecting that it was a new tribute from the shoveler to the old man, he rudely stretched his neck and raised his claws to grab it, only to be caught by Luo Wenzhou's claws. After knocking on the top, Luo Yiguo fell to the ground angrily, and called "Ow Ow" twice. Only then did it clearly see that there was a stranger behind him.

    Fei Du and Luo Yiguo looked at each other. Fei Du was more restrained, but took a small step back. Luo Yiguo fryed on the spot and let out a scream that was not like a cat's sound. He turned sharply, his claws and the slippery floor rubbed against each other, he stared at a pair of big eyes like glass balls, lowered his center of gravity, and made a stance that he planned to rush on at any time.

    With this brave gesture, it looked at Fei Du again for a while, and after a while, Luo Yiguo made a decisive decision, gave up the fight, and got into the sofa fèng without looking back, not coming out.

    Luo Wenzhou: "..."

    With such a cowardly cat, he felt a little shameless.

    "You don't need to change your shoes," Luo Wenzhou pointed at the sofa, "Sit on whatever you want, hey, this cat didn't have any problems with it before. Last time a colleague came over, it was chasing people 'ha' all the way, why is it just afraid of it? You—Luo Yiguo, get out of here for me, roll all over the dirt under the sofa, and turn back and rub against my bill again, bastard!"

    Luo Yiguo pretended to be dead and did not move.

    Luo Wenzhou yelled at the sofa, "Are you still eating?"

    Hearing it this time, two upturned beards carefully poked out from the sofa fèng, and immediately, it smelled the scent of a stranger and shrank back decisively.

    Comrade Luo Yiguo was so frightened that he went on a hunger strike.

    Helpless, Luo Wenzhou opened a can of cat and threw it next to its rice bowl. He rummaged in the cupboard next to him, took out a candy box, and threw it in front of Fei Du, who was sitting upright: "See if it's expired, I'll just fry a few. Let's say it first, I won't serve the young master, you eat what I do, don't make so many troubles."

    Fei Du rarely raised any objections. His sitting posture was terribly upright, as if under his butt were not a sofa but the roof of the world.

    After Luo Wenzhou walked away for a while, he opened the candy box in front of him with one hand with a bit of difficulty. The variety inside was very strange. It was probably the kind of assorted candy box bought during the Chinese New Year. A few pieces of chocolate had been transformed into a very postmodern shape. , people can't eat at first glance... The bottom box is a box of toffee, old-fashioned, shoddy packaging, always irregular candy shape, sticking to the teeth - he remembers this thing the taste of.

    Fei Du slowly took out a piece of toffee, tore it open with the tips of his teeth, and threw it into his mouth. Immediately, he turned his attention to the kitchen. The range hood roared, the kitchen knife and the chopping board collided rhythmically. Luo Wenzhou's back Hiding and appearing there.

    Luo Wenzhou said "fry a few dishes at random", but he actually did it seriously. He cooked a few dishes with meat and vegetables in a very short period of time. He put the cake in the middle, thought about it, and made a root. Candles are lit.

    Luo Wenzhou raised his head and met Fei Du's eyes, and he said shyly, "Look, I won't sing you a birthday song, are you going to make a wish? I hope you don't get hit by a car on your birthday next year. also."

    Fei Du: "Oh."

    The two looked at each other for a moment at the cute cartoon candle on the cake. The atmosphere was very strange, as if they were mourning the past years.

    Luo Wenzhou immediately regretted it: "You better hurry up, it's a bit of a nuisance."

    There were all kinds of cakes in the world, and there were few that Fei Du had not eaten before. Only the birthday cake was very unfamiliar to him. He seemed to have tasted it when he was very young. Fei Du had many guests at home at that time, and his birthday was basically It was shown to outsiders. The expensive cake was only given to him as a small piece of the cake, and it was taken away. He tried to look for it again the next day, but it was gone - because the cream was not fresh after a while.

    What's the difference between a birthday cake and a normal breakfast cake? At best, it was just the holes left by a few more candles, but Fei Du always felt that the taste was different.

    Luo Wenzhou's craftsmanship was also very commendable. The fly in the ointment was that there was no alcohol. Team Luo followed the doctor's orders and only gave him a packet of high-calcium breakfast milk.

    There are some middle-aged and elderly men who sum up and make statements outside a lot, and when they come home to face their wives and children, they always unconsciously bring this kind of bad behavior. Ten years later, he was actually infected. Usually with Luo Yiguo, this disease is still in the incubation period. Today, there is Fei Du at the dinner table, and the attack will start at once.

    "Another year," Luo Wenzhou poured the warmed breakfast milk into the glass, pushed it in front of Fei Du, and started a long discussion that was in the same vein as his father, "It's not that I told you, let's get down to business in the future, when will you mess around? Is it a head? The result of the great abundance of material life should be to make people pursue more, instead of lying on the golden mountain like a salted fish. Young people are too empty, and sooner or later something will happen. "

    Fei Du had never experienced this kind of Chinese-style parenting culture, and with a ball in his mouth, it sounded very fresh.

    Luo Wenzhou continued to babble: "Human nature is like this, first to seek food and clothing, to have no worries about food and clothing, and to feel comfortable in the senses, then one must seek a higher sense of satisfaction, such as a sense of achievement, such as self-realization, and still indulge in a low level of satisfaction. The extravagance of levels is actually just self-paralysis. Over time, the invisible anxiety will make people very painful. Today's Maybach, tomorrow's Bugatti, if you buy it back, you can alleviate this kind of conflicting and deep-seated anxiety. pain?"

    "No," Fei Du slowly swallowed the croquettes, "but the pain of not being able to afford it is obviously more superficial."

    "..." Luo Wenzhou glared at him, only to find that Fei Du had a slight smile on his lips, that he was joking—although the joke sounded a bit heart-wrenching, Luo Wenzhou said, "The parents dare to interrupt when they are giving lectures. In our house, a bear child like you has to move a bench to the door and squat to write a check, and you still want to eat?"

    Hearing these words, Fei Du remembered something, and the smile just now faded away. He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "When my family eats, no one speaks. Unless there are guests, I rarely see my father at the dinner table. My mother's mood is unstable. When I have a seizure, sometimes I throw down the cutlery with a sullen face and leave, sometimes I just sit next to the dining table and cry."

    Luo Wenzhou was taken aback.

    "Eating at home is a very scary thing," Fei Du seemed to shrug helplessly, "Occasionally peaceful, it's like winning the lottery."

    Luo Wenzhou thought for a while, but did not comfort him, he just said lightly: "It sounds pretty miserable, I don't know which is more comfortable than writing an examination."

    Fei Du raised his eyebrows.

    "Really, imagine that you are squatting at the door, lying on the bench, holding a piece of manuscript paper and facing the door of the house. When it is hot, everyone only closes the security door. From the outside, you can see what is going on in your house, and the neighbors are all parents. From the unit, anyone who passes by has to look down at you and ask, 'Boy, what happened again', it's really a great insult to personality and dignity."

    Fei Du couldn't help but laugh.

    Luo Wenzhou was about to say something, but suddenly, his cell phone rang, and the call came from the office landline. Luo Wenzhou was stunned, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

    "Hey," Tao Ran's voice was a little out of breath, "Captain Luo, Chang Ning and the others reported the case to the police station in their jurisdiction just now, saying that Chenchen was lost!"

    The volume on his phone was so loud that Fei Du also heard it.

    Luo Wenzhou: "When? Where did it get lost? Don't worry, it's not necessarily the same thing."

    "She went to the Children's Palace to learn painting today, and Chang Ning sent it to her at noon. In the evening, the adults told her that she should wait in the Children's Palace for half an hour and not come out. Her father can only pick it up after get off work. They finish class... It is about four o'clock. Halfway through, her dad called her, and the child was still in the studio at that time, a little after five o'clock, and when the adults passed by, no one could be found."
