You are already in a different world and will only return to reality in two days,
When he passed by the only street lamp in the alley, the appearance of the person was clearly exposed under the dim yellow light.
It was a tall and burly man,
He had a head of messy blonde hair, and his facial features were rather rough,
At this moment, his face was like a color palette, and he wore a silver earring on his left ear,
He was wearing a blackened white shirt, ripped jeans, sneakers, and a similarly tattered dark-colored windbreaker … He looked like an extremely sloppy beggar.
And this "beggar" was holding a bulging thing tightly in front of his chest, which was blocked by the windbreaker,
He couldn't see what it was.
Suddenly,
That ball moved a little.
A small hand grabbed the edge of the windbreaker and gently pulled,
A small chestnut-colored head poked out.
"Dad,
Stop and rest for a while! "
The child's voice with a smile came out,
The man who was running for his life paused,
He stopped and looked around,
After confirming that those people had not chased him here for the time being, he carefully hid behind the trash can in front and put the child down.
"Huff huff... I'm so tired! F * ck,
What kind of bad luck did I have today?! "
The tall man, who was sweating profusely, stared in the direction he came from and roughly wiped his sweat,
He cursed angrily in a low voice.
This man's name was Tokugawa Sen,
36 years old,
An ordinary man in the slums. He did not have a proper business. He relied on gambling and part-time jobs to raise a twelve-year-old son, Tatara Tobunaga... At this moment, he was being chased by the people of the casino with his son.
Speaking of which, he was also unlucky. As soon as his part-time job ended today, he went to the casino that had just opened in the next district and won two rounds. It was not much money, and he did not even cheat. When he went to the bathroom, he was stopped by the casino's people, who said that they wanted to take him to meet someone. When he saw that something was wrong, of course, he wanted to run away. He was caught and beaten up by the casino's people, and he risked his life to escape. He originally thought that he had shaken off the tail, but in the end, he just happened to bump into the thugs who were chasing after him near his house. What was even more unfortunate was that he even ran into his son whom he had not seen for a long time.
He had no choice but to carry his son and flee in all directions like a mouse caught by a cat. He did not know what was wrong with this group of people, but they looked like they would not give up until they caught him. They chased after him desperately. Fortunately, he was familiar with this area, so he was not caught by them as he fled in and out of the alleys.
Now that he had relaxed, Tokugawa Sen felt pain all over his body. Those thugs were too ruthless. He felt like his ribs were broken. How could he fix it?
Toshiro Toshiro stood obediently by his father's side. His skin was fair, different from his father's slightly rough facial features. He looked very delicate and cute, especially his smiling eyes, which were curved like crescent moons. Moreover, unlike a certain someone who was sloppy, he was wearing a little yellow chick T-shirt, brown cotton linen pants, and white sneakers. Although they were washed white, they were clean and refreshing.
However, although he was only twelve years old, he was short and thin. His body was also very thin and dry, and there was not much flesh on his face. He looked about the same as a child who was not even ten years old.
His rough little hand tugged at his father's windbreaker. When Tokugawa Sen lowered his head, the thin child said with a smile, "Dad, it seems like you won a lot this time!" Usually, those people would not care about him if he lost or won by a small margin.
"Win my ass!" Tokugawa Sen scolded angrily. When he saw his son smiling even in such a situation, he squatted down and stared at him speechlessly. The corner of his mouth twitched, but it tore the wound at the corner of his mouth, causing him to grimace in pain.
Seeing this, Tatara reached out and touched his swollen face. He smiled and said, "Dad, you can go first after you've rested. I'll go back by myself later."
Tokugawa Sen thought for a moment. He was injured, and it was not easy to run away with a child. If they were caught, the brat would become a burden. Anyway, the other party was looking for him. Tatara was smart, and he did not show his face just now. As long as he was careful, he should be fine.
However, Tokugawa Sen was still a little worried. When he looked up and saw his son's unwavering smile, all his worries and fears disappeared in an instant.
However, Tokugawa Sen suddenly noticed something else. After not seeing him for a few days, Tatara looked thinner. Under the moonlight, his face was as white as a ghost.
Poking Tatara's thin cheeks with his rough fingers, Tokugawa Sen scolded in a low voice, "You damned child, did you not eat properly again? Didn't I give you money last time … Wait a minute, did you go and buy some random stuff again? You little bastard, you wastrel! "
He did not understand at all how this child grew up. First, he had facial paralysis, the kind that always had a smile on his face. When he was happy, when he was unhappy, when he was bored, when he was interesting. No matter what, he would smile all the time. Sometimes, his smile would make Tokugawa Sen's heart tremble. Second, he had a fetish for three minutes of passion.
Ever since he was young, from sports to art, Tatara had loved everything. However, he never persisted. Every time Tokugawa Sen gave him money to eat, he would secretly … Oh, no, he would openly buy the things that Tokugawa Sen liked during that period of time. As a result, every time Tokugawa Sen moved, there would be a huge pile of things … Tokugawa Sen was so tired that his waist and back hurt!
Tokugawa Sen's fingertips were thick and calloused. It stung slightly when he poked Tatara's face, but Tatara did not care at all. He squinted his eyes and obediently tilted his head to admit, "I like it …"
"How can you talk about liking when you're hungry? Besides, I worked so hard to earn money, didn't I … "Tokugawa Sen thought of something and reacted. He stopped himself in time and slapped Tatara's head with the back of his hand. He said sarcastically," I think you have the life of a young master! It's just that you were picked up by someone like me. I'm so sorry! "
Tatara lowered his head slightly, still smiling innocently.
"I must have owed you in my previous life!" Tokugawa Sen muttered. He looked around and rummaged in his trouser pocket. Finally, he took out a large wad of wrinkled notes and stuffed it into Tokugawa Sen's hand. He frowned and said, "Be careful. If I don't come back, go hide outside. You're not allowed to buy those toys of yours without eating. If you don't listen, I'll beat you up, okay?!"
The last sentence was vicious and menacing. Coupled with the pig's face, it really gave people a feeling of panic. However, Tatara did not feel anything at all. It was not that he had not been beaten when he was young, but he could not remember when it started. Every time his father said that, he never hit him again.
Footsteps ran past the alley. Tatara smiled and reached out to push him. "I know, hurry up and go! Don't get beaten to death! "
"Little bastard, don't you know how to say something nice?!" Tokugawa Sen rubbed his head fiercely and looked at the thin T-shirt he was wearing. He quickly took off his windbreaker and threw it over his head. "Take it back and wash it for me. Don't drop it! I only have this one windbreaker! "
The windbreaker, which was mixed with the smell of tobacco, dust, blood, and rancid, completely blocked Tatara's vision. He only felt his head being pressed again. Then, the person in front of him ran quickly, and the wind blew up the windbreaker that covered half of his face.
"Hey, a bunch of idiots. Come and chase me!"
Tokugawa Sen deliberately shouted vulgarities from the alley.
The slight emotions in his eyes under the windbreaker flickered. His smiling eyes were pulled into a straight line … cold and indifferent.
Tatara reached out to pull the windbreaker and wrapped himself up behind the trash can. The dark night and the dark windbreaker were the best cover. Soon, he heard a group of urgent footsteps chasing after the first set of footsteps.
When all the sounds disappeared, he slowly stood up with the windbreaker wrapped around him.
The dark clouds in the sky had been blown away, revealing the bright moon and the bright stars. The moonlight spilled into the cold alley and elongated his small figure.
Holding the oversized windbreaker in his hand, Tatara reached out to touch the money he kept close to his body through the windbreaker. His usual smile appeared on his face, and he turned to walk in the direction of the small apartment.
However, just as he turned the corner, Duo Liang fiercely slammed into a meat wall. His overly thin body was directly knocked to the ground and rolled in a circle by the recoil.
However, the burly man who bumped into him only glanced at him. He complained to the person next to him with slight impatience and anger. "Damn it, is that Tokugawa Sen a monkey? He ran so fast! "
The few small fries at the side were also sweating profusely and panting. One of them also felt suffocated when he heard that. "That's right. We've been going around and around. I'm getting dizzy. F * ck, I'll kill him when I catch him!"
"Slap!" The man who spoke first slapped him. "Is there shit in your head?! Boss told us to catch him alive! We're counting on him to make money! "
"Yes, yes, yes! Big brother, what should we do now? "
"What else can we do? Look for him again! If we can't finish the job, we'll all have to bear the consequences! "
Tatara's heart skipped a beat when he heard the conversation. He forced himself to calm down and picked up the windbreaker that had fallen on the ground. He silently avoided them and walked forward. The moment he brushed past them, Tatara let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, his collar was grabbed by a pair of big hands, and his whole body was lifted into the air. The burly man who was called "Big Brother" had a wolf-like ferocious expression on his face, which was exposed under the moonlight.
"Brat, have you seen an injured man?"
Tatara's white and tender little face revealed a frightened expression. He trembled as he said, "No, no."
With regards to the appearance of his own child crying, the man also had a deep understanding. Looking at the little boy in his hand who was as weak as a quail and was about to shake, the man curled his lips in disdain. He loosened his hand and directly let Totora do a free fall.
Tatara fell and his butt hurt. When he supported himself on the ground, he pressed on the glass shards on the ground. He immediately saw blood. He furrowed his brows in pain and groaned twice.
However, he did not dare to delay. He quickly got up, picked up the windbreaker that had fallen on the ground, and turned to run. He vividly portrayed a scared child.
However —
"Stop!"
Tatara's body stiffened.
"The clothes in your arms look very familiar, brat."
It was as if a voice from hell was calling him.
Hearing this, Tatara smiled. He smiled until his eyes turned into crescent moons. "Thieves won't visit my house! I hope you don't dislike it. "
Reiko did not know why, but she felt that there were many hidden shadows under his smile.
At first, she thought that Tatara and the Five Tigers Retreat were somewhat similar because of their appearances. However, after talking, she realized that Tatara's personality was more determined and cheerful than the Five Tigers Retreat. He was also more mature … He was so mature that he did not seem like a child his age. It inexplicably made her heart ache for him!
"You're just a child. Don't speak so maturely. I have to thank you for treating me to supper! It was really delicious. " Reiko shook the plum rice ball and strawberry milk in her hands. She had just bought them at the convenience store next to the clinic … Tatara had paid for them. The tuna rice ball in Reiko's backpack was silently crying.
"As long as you like it!" Tatara smiled innocently again as if nothing could affect his mood. "Oh right, you don't look like a resident nearby. Is there something you need?"
"Well … I'm here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Tatara thought for a moment. "If the person you're looking for is a resident nearby, I'm very familiar with them. I can help you find them."
"Uh, I'm actually not too sure about this …" Reiko paused. The problem was that she did not know the identity of the other party. She did not know whether they were male or female, fat, short, tall, or thin. Looking at his puzzled eyes, Reiko smiled and said, "Anyway, it's quite complicated. If there's really a need, I'll let you know!"
