Chapter 2 The second black panther

black panther. Everyone calls him Black Panther. Because everyone knows that the strongest, fiercest, and cruelest beast is the black panther! When the lid was removed, the steam rose like fog. Shorty Tang, who sells noodles, used two long bamboo chopsticks to pick up the noodles in the pot at once, and put them in a big bowl with seasoning. When he used these two long bamboo chopsticks, he was more proficient than surgeons with their scalpels. On the table were shredded pig ears, sliced ​​braised beef, tripe, pork liver, sausage, and braised eggs. The noodles are served in a small bowl, with pickles, soy sauce, sesame paste, and two green vegetables.

The smell is really delicious. Bobo was swallowing, until now, she remembered that she hadn't eaten since noon. "I can eat at least five bowls of this side." The black panther looked at her, and waited for her to eat the first half bowl before asking her, "Did you come here today?" "Ok." "Are you alone?" "Ok." Bobo's mouth still doesn't have the time to speak, she feels that everything in this city is much better than her hometown, even the taste of noodles is different. "What kind of noodle is this called?"

"Sichuan dan dan noodles?" "How can there be Sichuan noodles here?" "This place has it all." Bobo sighed contentedly: "I'm so glad I can come to this place." The corner of Black Panther's mouth showed that strange smile again: "You may be too happy too soon." "why?" "This is a place to eat people." "Eat people? What eats people?" "People eat people." Bobo smiled instead: "I'm not afraid." She smiled brightly and cheerfully, as she did seven years ago: "If someone dares to eat me, it's no wonder they don't choke to death."

The panther didn't say anything more, his eyes fell into the boundless darkness in the distance again. When Bobo started eating his second bowl of noodles, he suddenly asked, "Where's the little judge?" Bobo didn't answer. He lowered his head and ate her noodles. After eating two pieces, he suddenly put down his chopsticks. There seemed to be a layer of mist in those bright spring moon eyes. A layer of autumn fog. A shadow of a person seemed to have appeared in the fog, tall, clear, upright, and happy. little judge. Of course he was not a real judge, and he was called Little Judge, perhaps because of his integrity.

His name is Luo Lie. He was another boy who bid farewell to Black Panther in Shitou Township on New Year's Eve that year. The three of them are buddies. The two boys faced Bobo, like two thick shells protecting a bright pearl. "Little judge, he..." The mist in Bobo's eyes became thicker: "I haven't seen him for a long time." The panther looked at the fog in her eyes, and of course saw what was hidden in the fog. If a girl falls in love with a boy, even the fog of the whole world can't hide it. "He's gone too?" Black Panther asked. "Ok."

"When did you leave?" "It's been almost three years." At that time, Bobo was already seventeen years old, and the seventeen-year-old girl was at the time when her love was the craziest and strongest. The black panther's eyes were even darker, and after a long time, he slowly said: "He shouldn't have left, he should have stayed with you." Bobo lowered his head, but suddenly raised it up quickly, and said in a very firm voice: "But he must go." "why?" "Because he doesn't want to die in Shitou Township all his life, and I... I don't want to either."

There was light in Bobo's eyes again, and he quickly continued: "People like him must have a way out in other places." Black Panther nodded: "Yes, he has never been a fool. He would never hit a rock with his head, because he knows that a rock must be harder than his head." Bobo smiled. Panther laughed too. Bobo smiled and said, "Actually, you are not really a fool." "Oh." "He always said that you are not only not stupid at all, but also smarter than anyone else. If anyone thinks you are a fool, that person is the real fool." "You believe him?"

"Of course I believe it." Bobo's smile brightened again, and he said, "You grew up together, practiced kung fu together, and fought together. No one understands you better than him." "He does know me well," Panther agreed, "because he's better than me." "But when you fight, he always can't beat you." Black Panther smiled: "But he created more than half of our fighting methods." The kung fu they practice is called "backhand". That means that the moves they use are all reversed. In boxing, the left hand should be used, but they have to use the right foot.

He used his right hand when he should use his left leg. "I have also learned the way you fight." Bobo has always been very proud of this. "As long as you practice well, that method is indeed the most effective method." Bobo agrees.She had just seen the majesty of beating someone in that way. Black Panther smiled: "It's a pity that you haven't practiced well, so you must not meddle in other people's business, especially here, where people who cannibalize people will never be killed by bones." "Why?" Bobo pouted, his face full of disbelief.

"Because when they eat people, they swallow the bones as well." Bobo was still unconvinced, but remembering the knife "Desperate Qilang" just now, he had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say. What's more, she has a more important question to ask in her heart. "Where is my daddy?" "Are you asking me?" Black Panther seemed strange. "Of course I'm asking you, you have been here for seven years, have you never heard from him?" "Never." Bobo frowned for the first time, but soon opened again. Of course Black Panther would not know about his father, they were not of the same class at all, and of course they would not live in the same circle.

"Are you here to find your father?" "Ok." "I'm afraid it won't be easy," Black Panther worried for her: "This is a big place with a lot of people." "It's okay." Bobo himself was not worried: "Anyway, I just arrived today, and I still have plenty of time." "Where are you going to live?" "I don't know yet. Anyway, there is always a place to live." There seemed to be nothing in this world that could make her worry. Panther laughed again. When he laughed this time, Bobo really saw the silly boy seven years ago. So she smiled even more happily: "Anyway, I have found you now, and you will always have a place for me to live." This hotel is not very big, but the room is very clean, with snow-white sheets, shiny mirrors, and two large sofas. The sofa was so soft that once Bobo sat down, he never wanted to stand up again. Hei Panther still seemed a little sorry: "It's too late, I can only find this place." "This place is a hundred times more comfortable than my home." Bobo was indeed satisfied, because she had already found that the bed was softer than the sofa. "Since you like it, you can live here for as long as you like." "Is this place expensive?" "It's not expensive, only one yuan a day." "A piece of ocean?" Bobo jumped up in fright. Black Panther was smiling: "But you don't need to pay a dime, the owner of this place is my friend." Bobo looked at him, a little envious, but also a little proud of him: "It seems that you have become a very capable person now." Black Panther just smiled. "Where's the second master you mentioned just now?" "He may already be the most resourceful man in the place." "What's his last name?" "My surname is Jin. Some people call him Erye Jin, while others call him Mr. Er Jin." "Who is the uncle?" Bobo was full of hope again—could the uncle be Uncle Zhao? "There is no uncle, the uncle is dead." "How did he die?" Bobo's hope turned into curiosity. "Some say he died of illness, while others say he was killed by Mr. Jin." The panther's face became indifferent again: "As I said, this is a world where people cannibalize people." A girl of Bobo's age should have been terrified when she heard such a thing. But she smiled instead, and said, "Fortunately, you haven't been eaten by them yet." She never looked like a car when she smiled. In fact, the only thing about her that looks like a car is her eyes. Her eyes are sometimes as bright as the two headlights of a car. "Are you Jin Erye's friend?" She asked again suddenly. "no." "Who is he?" "It's his bodyguard." "bodyguard?" "Bodyguards mean thugs, people who specialize in fighting for him." The black panther's eyes seemed to show a very sad expression: "A person has to do anything in order to eat." Bobo suddenly jumped up, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said loudly: "It doesn't matter whether you are a bodyguard or a thug, anyway, you are still young, maybe someone will call you Hei Erye in the future." The panther didn't smile this time, but turned around. It was so dark outside the window that even the neon light could not be seen. Dark world, dark city. Hei Bao suddenly said: "There is only one person in this city who dares to oppose Mr. Jin." "Who?" "Magpie." "Magpie? A bird?" Bobo laughed again. "It's not a bird, it's a person." The panther's expression was serious: "It's a very strange person." "Have you seen him?" "No, no one has ever seen him, and no one has ever known who he is." "Why?" Bobo's curiosity was aroused again. "Because he never showed up, he just directed his brother secretly to fight against Mr. Jin." "He has many brothers?" "It seems that there are quite a few." Hei Bao said: "The group of people with knives you saw just now are all his brothers." "That group of people is nothing special." Bobo curled his lips: "Except for that skinny boy who is willing to work hard, the others seem to only be beaten." "you are wrong." "Oh." "Among his brothers, Hu Biao's fourth is the most gloomy, his second is Xiao Zhuge with the most tricks, and Hongqi's youngest is the most hardworking. But the most terrifying is himself." "Unexpectedly, there are times when you admire others." Black Panther's expression was more serious: "I'm just telling you, the next time you meet them, it's better to go far away." "I'm not afraid." Bobo raised his head again: "Could it be that they can really eat me up?" Black Panther didn't say anything more, he knew that no matter what he said now, it was useless. He knew all too well what was wrong with the little car. So he turned around: "I just want you to understand that now I can no longer be with you every day like before." "I understand." Bobo said with a smile: "You are neither my bodyguard nor my husband, and now we are all grown up." Hei Panther had already reached the door, and suddenly turned around again: "Have you heard from him recently?" "He" is of course Luo Lie. "No." "You don't know where he is either?" Bobo shook his head and said, "When he left, he didn't tell me where he was going, but he just told me that he would definitely come back." There was no sadness in her voice, only confidence. She trusted Luo Lie, just as Luo Lie trusted her - "No matter what time it takes, I will definitely wait for you to come back." This is their vow of eternal love, a sweet whisper under the moon, she didn't tell the black panther, and she didn't want to tell anyone. But of course Black Panther could hear what she meant. He opened the door and walked out. The door was still open. Bobo lay on the bed, feeling extremely happy in his heart. She has only been in this city for a day, and although she has not found her father, she has already found an old friend. This is already a good start. What's more, there is still tomorrow! Maybe tomorrow she will be able to find out the whereabouts of her father, maybe tomorrow she will get news from Luo Lie, maybe... And who knows what will happen tomorrow. "Tomorrow" is always full of hope, because there is always "tomorrow", so there are so many people in this world who can live. Unfortunately, today is almost over. Now Bobo just wants to take a good bath first, and then sleep comfortably. "If you want someone to do something, ring this bell." The calling bell is on the door. When the bell rang, someone came. The attitude of the waitress is kind and respectful, and the friendship between the hotel owner and Black Panther seems to be really good. Bobo suddenly felt that she had also become a very capable person, and she was really happy. The bathroom is at the end of the corridor. Although it is shared by this floor, other guests have already slept, so Bobo doesn't have to wait. The maid filled a basin of water, tied up the window, and smiled apologetically, "The towels and soap are in the small cabinet over there. If Ms. Zhao is afraid that her clothes will get wet, you can also put them in the cabinet." Bobo suddenly took out a piece of ocean from his body and said, "This is a small account for you." She has heard that there are many places in big cities that have to give small bills. Although it hurts her to give a dollar, but when a person is in a happy mood, he will always be more generous. After she took off her clothes, put them in the closet, and jumped into the bathtub, she felt that the one dollar given was not wronged at all. The temperature of the water is just right. Everything is fine in this city. She kicked the water with her feet. "Bobo, the car is here." Looking at her own healthy and slender body, she also felt that this car was really good, and every part was very good. In fact, she had always been a well-developed girl, and developed very early. So she thought of Luo Lie again. Her face suddenly turned red. The day Luo Lie left was spring. They lie on the starlight on the spring night, on the grass in the spring breeze. The stars are shining brightly, and the green grass is soft.It even seemed softer than the bed just now. Luo Lie's hand stayed where her own hand was now. Although his hands are rough, his movements are gentle. She could hear his heart beating and her own beating faster. "I want you, I want you..." In fact, she was already willing to give everything to him, but she refused. "I must be yours, but not now." "Why?...you don't like me?" "It's because I like you that I want you to wait until the day we get married..." Luo Lie didn't force her, and he never forced her to do anything. But now, she herself felt a little regretful. Strange place, soft hands, soft water... Suddenly she jumped out of the water. The water was too soft and too warm. She didn't dare to soak any longer, and she didn't dare to think about it any longer. "Would you like to lie in bed?" She didn't study it carefully, anyway, that's a matter of the future, and now she just wants to get back into her clothes as soon as possible. The clothes have been put in the small cabinet. She wiped herself hastily and opened the door of the small cabinet. She froze suddenly. There was not a single sock in the cupboard, and all her clothes were gone. As if by magic, it suddenly disappeared. She put the clothes in the cabinet by herself, and no one else has ever entered the bathroom. Where did the clothes in the closet go? She couldn't figure it out. The unthinkable is often a terrible thing. Bobo could already feel the cold sweat on his back. Of course, she would not have thought that there was a hidden door behind the cabinet, nor would she have thought of hotels in big cities, no matter how gorgeous and clean it seems, there is always a dark and sinister side. She just felt fear. A girl is never as bold as she usually is when she is naked. Fortunately, the doors and windows were still tightly closed, but there was still a long corridor from the bathroom to her door, how could she walk out like this. She tried to wrap herself in a towel, but the towel was too short and too small. What about the curtains? She was about to try it out, but two voices suddenly sounded outside the window: "A girl took a bath and suddenly found that her clothes were missing. What should I do?" "It doesn't matter." "It doesn't matter?" "Because she's not a girl, she's a car." "Yes, cars don't need clothes." Then there was a burst of laughter. There were more than two people laughing. Bobo had retreated to the corner of the bathroom, tried his best to cover himself with the towel, and asked loudly, "Who is there outside?" "We're not human either, we're just a group of magpies." "Magpie!" Bobo's heart sank. "Magpies always report good news but not bad news. We are here to report good news to Ms. Zhao." The voice was gloomy and slow, a bit like that of Hu Biao's fourth son. Bobo couldn't help asking, "What's the good news?" "We have found Miss Zhao's clothes." "Where?" "Here we are." "Give it back to me!" Bobo yelled. "Does Miss Zhao want us to send it in?" "No!" Bobo called louder. "Since it doesn't work, I have to ask Miss Zhao to come out and get it." Of course they knew that Bobo would never dare to go out to get it by himself. Immediately there was another burst of laughter outside the window. Bobo gritted his teeth, wishing he could crush these people to death one by one like bedbugs. She just wanted to rush over and tear off the curtains, and wrap herself up before talking. But at this moment, she found that the curtains were moving suddenly, as if they were being blown by the wind. Since the windows are closed, where does the wind come from? There was also a sound at the door. A thin and sharp knife slowly came in through the crack of the door, and he picked it lightly. There was a sound of "grid"; the hook on the door was opened. Bobo roared: "If you dare to come in, I will kill you!" "Use what to kill? With your mouth? Or with your..." The voice was gloomy and obscene. Bobo couldn't listen anymore, he could only scream with all his strength. But now she finally knew that no matter how loudly she barked, it was useless. She had already seen the door and window being knocked open together suddenly, and three people jumped in together. All three had knives in their hands, and one of them was the blue-faced Hu Biao. Instead, Bobo stopped barking, and didn't lower his head. Instead, she raised her head and stared at them fiercely with her big eyes. "What do you want?" Hu Biao smiled sinisterly: "To be honest, we haven't made up our minds about what we want to do." His eyes searched Bobo's body like a brush soaked in oil. Bobo wanted to vomit. The light in the bathroom was too bright and the towels were too small. Her skin was originally a healthy bronze color, but under this light, it looked dazzlingly white. Her legs were long and strong, with rich and soft curves. Her waist is slender. Bobo has always been very proud of his figure, but now he wishes he was a big bucket. Hu Biao's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction: "What do you think of this girl?" "She's a good girl." "Should we use her first? Or make her first?" "Isn't it a pity not to use it?" "It's a pity indeed." Bobo almost wanted to rush over and smash this face with a slap. It's a pity that her hands must grab the towel, and she must hold on tight. But at this moment, Hu Biao suddenly rushed over with a stride, the knife flashed, and he picked it up on her towel. His knife may not be as ruthless and fast as "Desperate Qilang", but he uses it more skillfully. Bobo wanted to kick the knife away, but how could her legs be able to kick it now? She is still a girl after all. She suddenly wanted to cry. As the blade slashed past, the eyes of the other two widened. Suddenly, there was a "ding". Something flew obliquely and hit Hu Biao's knife. A bunch of keys! A shiny brass key. Hu Biao's livid face was distorted, and he suddenly turned around. The curtains are still moving. The eyes of the three people stared at the window together, and the key was indeed punched in through the window. But people rushed in from the door. A person with very dark skin and even darker clothes, with an indescribably fierce and cruel look in his pitch-black eyes. He didn't speak, not even make any sound. After a moment of strange silence, the first sound heard in the bathroom was the sound of bones breaking. Just as the knife in a person's hand was swung out, his arm was twisted behind his back, and there was a "click". The other person wanted to run away, but the panther's foot kicked back and landed on his waist. This person was like a rubber ball. He was kicked up suddenly and flew out. Only when he reached the door did he let out a short scream. After the miserable cry, there was another terrible silence. The black panther stood there quietly, looking at Hu Biao. Cold sweat broke out on Hu Biao's forehead. Under the light, it looked like pearls rolling and shining. Bobo leaned against the wall, his whole body seemed to have collapsed. Since she saw the key, her whole body suddenly went limp, because she knew that she had something to rely on. Now she looked at the cruel and calm young man in front of her, and felt an indescribable sense of security in her heart. Safe and happy. This feeling is like a person who suddenly wakes up from a nightmare and finds that the person he loves is still by his side. Hu Biao's expression seemed to have suddenly fallen into a nightmare from which he would never wake up. The panther has slowly walked towards him. Hu Biao suddenly shouted: "This matter has nothing to do with your 'old stereotypes' at all. Why are you meddling in your own business?" Black Panther's voice was cold: "I only wish I didn't kill you just now." "Is this little girl your woman?" "yes." Short answer, no hesitation.When Bobo heard this, he suddenly had an indescribable wonderful feeling in his heart.Of course she herself knew that she was not his woman. He also knows.But he said this, and she was not angry when she heard it. Because she knew it was an expression of his unconditional protection and friendship for her. She heard Hu Biao take a long breath and said, "I know you are not the kind of person who is willing to kill for women." "I'm not." Panther's voice was even colder: "But this time is an exception." Hu Biao suddenly sneered: "Are you willing to die for this woman?" At this moment, the black panther's calm eyes seemed to show fear, like a fierce leopard that suddenly found itself in a trap.At this moment, the skylight on the roof suddenly opened, and the hidden door behind the cabinet also opened. Dozens of long ropes with hooks flew out from outside the door, from the window, from the skylight, and from the secret door. The black panther let out a beast-like growl from its throat, and rushed towards Hu Biao.It's a pity that he was one step too late.Amidst Bobo's exclamation, dozens of long ropes with hooks were wrapped around him. As soon as he exerted force, the hook immediately hooked into his flesh, and the rope became tighter. Hu Biao laughed loudly: "It turns out that you have been fooled sometimes!" Amidst the laughter, his knife has also been released, stabbing the black panther's lute bone. He also doesn't want Panther to die too quickly and comfortably.
