Chapter 293: The Second Rain

"Boom la la ......"

In the afternoon, the scattered dark clouds gathered again, and dense and rapid rain poured down from the gloomy sky.

Lapping on the roofs and eaves of buildings, the rainwater flowing down the eaves gathers and washes down the street.

"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”

In the riverside hotel, in the room, Lian Ge was holding a book and looking at it, the rain outside the window kept beating on the window glass in front of him, and along the window, drawing water marks one after another, leaving a layer of hazy mist.

The mouse squatted on Lian Ge's shoulder, his head turning, and looking out the window.

"Smack. ”

Gently closed the book, the book disappeared in his hand, raised his head slightly, Lian Ge listened to the sound of rain through the hazy window, and looked out of the window,

Outside the window, the sky was dark, gusts of wind swept through with the rain from time to time, there were few pedestrians on the street, and it was a long time before a person who braved the wind and rain hurriedly passed by,

On the banks of the river, beside the road, the branches of the leafy trees swayed,

In the river, on the surface of the river, the river ripples, and in the shower, splashes ripples.

Inside, the windows and the sound of rain make it even quieter.

"It's almost stopping. ”

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, and the disappeared book reappeared in his hand,

The sound of turning pages mixed with the hazy sound of rain added a bit of silence to the room.

The mouse squatted on Lian Ge's shoulder, still rolling his eyes, looking out the window.

......

Approaching evening,

The dark clouds dispersed again, approaching the sunset on the horizon, reflecting the sunset in the west, and once again swaying towards the city.

On the roofs of the buildings that are still stained with water vapor, the wet street is full of water.

After the rain, there are more and more pedestrians on the riverside streets, and pedestrians with umbrellas are stepping on the still wet streets, or walking in a hurry, or walking.

On the side of the street, vendors reappeared, either setting up their stalls or hawking them.

After looking through the window, Lian Ge stood up again and walked out of the room.

......

Hotel lobby, the floor is a little wet,

The breeze with moisture, after you blow the branches and leaves beside the street, through the hotel lobby door,

By the door, Lian Ge stopped slightly, and glanced at the position of the bridgehead not far away.

The figure of the old lady before has disappeared, and in its place, there are a few passers-by waiting for the green light,

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the front desk of the hotel again, the few umbrellas hanging on the front desk, the umbrella he had lent before, had been returned.

After a pause, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and stepped out of the hotel.

......

"Watermelon...... Watermelon ......"

The fruit vendor who drove the car pulled over to the river and shouted.

Several barbecue night stalls, along the river, are set up with folding square tables and plastic chairs,

The oven has been set up, and skewers of skewers are spread on the oven, and the grease is dripping.

The smell of barbecue mixed with the aroma of seasonings lingers along the river, and with the fresh breeze that carries water vapor after the rain, it overflows into the distance.

Pedestrians passing by the river or walking around stop from time to time, stop, and sit down in front of a barbecue stall.

By the river, it is becoming more and more lively,

"I just had a barbecue yesterday and I ate it again today...... Ahh ”

"Boss, ten skewers of barbecue ......"

......

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the mouse with his forelimbs standing on his shoulder, his eyes were greedy, and his eyes were motionless and staring,

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge moved away and walked towards one of the stalls.

"Little brother, what are you going to eat...... Sit casually. ”

Approaching the stall, a middle-aged woman who was setting up a table and chair next to her greeted her.

Stopping slightly, Lian Ge swept his eyes in front of this booth,

It wasn't completely dark yet, and there weren't many diners sitting in front of the stalls.

A table of middle-aged men shouting at each other, snuggling, leaning against each other's ears, talking softly, a couple of old people who seem to have come out for a walk and stopped,

There was also a lonely man sitting alone, looking at the middle-aged man on the river not far away,

Looking at the middle-aged man's somewhat familiar face, Lian Ge paused,

He followed and moved back to the table.

"Bring me ten skewers of grilled tendons and ten skewers of grilled ribs. ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll serve it to you as soon as it's baked......"

The middle-aged woman with the folding table turned her head and answered,

Lian Ge also walked to the table where the middle-aged man was sitting,

"This old brother, I don't know if I can fight a table?"

Looking at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge said with a smile.

Hearing the sound, looking at the river, the middle-aged man who was in a daze seemed to notice that there was an extra person in front of him.

Slowly turned his head, glanced at Lian Ge, and then looked at the many remaining vacant seats in front of the stall, and was stunned.

But still nodded,

"Please take care of yourself. ”

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge sat down across from him.

The middle-aged man turned his head again and looked at the river not far away, after the rain, his eyes were in a trance.

......

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man again,

This middle-aged man was the middle-aged bailiff before, on the execution ground, next to the young bailiff.

"Big brother, this is the beer you want......"

The middle-aged woman walked over and placed a can of beer on the table in front of the middle-aged bailiff.

"The skewers will have to wait a while, you can wait ......"

After saying that, the middle-aged woman walked away again,

Hearing this, the middle-aged bailiff turned his head, looked at the can of beer, and after a pause, pulled open the can of beer with his hand.

didn't wait for the barbecue to be served, so he took a sip of the can of beer.

Immediately after, I didn't put it down, and I took another bite,

The middle-aged bailiff was silent, silent, silent, and drank with his head down.

It didn't take long for

The only can of beer was at the bottom, and when he put down the can, the middle-aged bailiff didn't ask for any more beer, but just turned his head, silent as before, and looked at the river intently.

Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged bailiff, didn't say anything, turned his gaze, and also looked at the somewhat turbulent river after the rain.

The table, then it became quieter,

Around, on the stalls, but as the night deepens, it becomes more and more noisy,

“...... Come on, brothers, let's go again, I'll do it, you can ...... at will"

“...... Hey, it's been a while since we've been out for a barbecue, right?"

"Wife, you have good craftsmanship, and besides, I am used to your cooking, and I seem to be a little unaccustomed to eating when I come out to eat. ”

“...... Ahhhh

"How can there be ......?"

...... The noisy and noisy words were mixed, the sky was getting dark, and the wet ground was gradually re-dried under the trampling of pedestrians.

Night stall owners lit up incandescent lamps to illuminate the increasingly lively stalls.

......

“...... Big brother, this is the skewer you ordered. ”

The middle-aged woman had sweat on her forehead, and she held an iron plate containing skewers and put it in front of the middle-aged bailiff.

Glancing at the table, the beer can was already empty, and the middle-aged woman asked again,

"Big brother, are you done with this beer, do you still want it?"

"No need...... That's enough. ”

The middle-aged bailiff turned around and shook his head.

"Okay, then you can use it slowly...... Wait, little brother, you can order the skewers in no time. ”

The middle-aged woman answered, said something to Lian Ge again, turned around, walked away and continued to be busy.

“...... How many of you, what do you want to eat tonight...... Yes, how many strings are there?"

......

At the dining table, the middle-aged bailiff lowered his head, was silent, reached out and picked up the skewers, nibbled on them, and ate them as before.

After taking two bites, he raised his head again and looked at Lian Ge across the table,

"Little brother, do you want to eat some first, pad your stomach. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged bailiff and smiled slightly,

"Thank you then. ”

After thanking him, Lian Ge reached out and took out a skewer from the iron plate.

The middle-aged bailiff shook his head, stretched out his hand and pushed the iron plate closer in the direction of Lian Ge.
