Outside the eaves, on the street.

Just as Lian Ge was talking to the shopkeeper, the wind started.

The slightest wind with the slightest moisture stirred the clothes of pedestrians on the road and disturbed the open doors of the shops along the street.

Aware of the change in the weather, the pace of pedestrians on the road gradually became hurried.

“...... Sir, sit down. ”

The shopkeeper who walked into the store stepped out of the store again, and placed a chair on Lian Ge's side.

"Everyone who comes is a guest, and I naturally can't slack off on the old man. The shopkeeper said to Lian Ge with a smile.

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the shopkeeper, and smiled,

"Thank you, owner. After thanking him, Lian Ge sat down in his seat.

"Sir is gracious. ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "On weekdays, there are not many people in my shop, and people passing by walk around, and everyone who enters the store has sad faces...... Sir, if only you weren't too unlucky. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper didn't set foot in the store again, just stood outside the threshold,

"This rain is really coming. ”

Tilting his head, the shopkeeper looked overhead, surging dark clouds, and said.

Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, turned his gaze, and looked out of the eaves.

On the streets,

Pedestrians are hurrying, and the breeze is blowing, as if the street is being emptied.

As a result, the streets are less crowded and become somewhat empty.

Just as he spoke,

The sparse raindrops fell on the ground, and before the rain could soak into the ground, the raindrops became dense and urgent.

A shower is coming, washing the streets, shops, and the city.

“...... Whoa......"

As the wind blows, the rain beats against the eaves,

Outside the eaves, on the streets, pedestrians rushed from their footsteps to running in all directions.

A beggar on the side of the street, after looking around, limped, and the only remaining hand supported a branch, limping towards Lian Ge and the others.

Walking in front of Lian Ge, the beggar was already drenched, mixed with the dirt on his body and the oily rain on his ragged clothes, turning into black water, dripping from the edge of his trouser legs, and flowing along the street with the rainwater flowing down the street, into the street sewer.

After looking at Lian Ge and the shopkeeper cautiously and timidly, the beggar walked into the eaves with the peeling branches, and then walked along the eaves to the other side, and only after Lian Ge and the others were far away did he stop again, standing trembling and pestle.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the beggar on the other side of the eaves, and paused.

The shopkeeper looked at the beggar and walked into the shop again.

The beggar looked at Lian Ge, and then at the shopkeeper who turned around and walked into the shop, his body shrunk, and he held his stick, looking at the rainstorm in front of him, as if he was hesitating to break into the rain again.

"Knock ......"

The wind blew the door of the shop, and there was a small crashing sound, but the beggar seemed to be frightened, and his body trembled again, and his steps began to move towards the rain again.

At this moment, the shopkeeper, who had turned around and stepped into the shop, walked out again, still holding a thick garment in his hand.

“...... I bought this dress last year, old man, if you don't dislike it, just take it and wear it. ”

The shopkeeper took a few steps towards the beggar, paused again, and threw the thick garment directly at the beggar.

When the beggar heard the sound, he paused and caught the clothes that were thrown in.

“...... Thank...... Thank you. ”

Pinching the sleeves of his clothes, the beggar looked at the shopkeeper and said with some difficulty.

"Take it and wear it. The shopkeeper shook his head and looked back at the rain showers outside the eaves, "It's autumn......

As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked back to Lian Ge's side and sat down on the threshold of the store.

The beggar, on the other hand, did not speak again, trembled, and after reluctantly putting on his clothes, he stabbed the stick and looked under the eaves in amazement.

......

And at this moment, in the rain, a delivery man riding a battery car passed by the street,

He had never worn a raincoat, and in the face of the shower, the rain had already soaked his clothes, but he still had no intention of stopping.

“...... Bang!"

The battery car suddenly lost its balance, and the delivery man fell into the muddy water flowing on the street with the car, and half of his clothes were stained with muddy water.

After padding his feet, the delivery man stood up again, grinned, and rubbed his legs, and the delivery man padd his feet and helped the battery car up again.

Instead of taking care of the wound on his leg, the delivery man carefully unzipped the box in the back of the car and looked at the food in the box.

As if relieved, the delivery man got back into the car and prepared to leave.

"Knock Knock ......"

After twisting the handle a few times, the battery car still did not move at all, and the delivery man patted the battery car with some annoyance.

got out of the car again, the delivery man turned his head and looked around, as if he saw someone sheltering from the rain under the eaves where Lian Ge and a few people were staying, hesitated, and also pushed the car and walked towards the eaves.

"Knock...... Boom. ”

Like the beggar, the delivery man pushed the battery cart up the steps under the eaves at the other end of the eaves.

"Young man, it's raining so hard and you're still delivering takeaways. The shopkeeper sitting on the threshold asked.

Hearing this, the delivery man turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper, smiled, and did not answer.

Lowering his head again, the delivery man took out his mobile phone from his pocket and lit it up with his hand still stained with rain.

The delivery person's mobile phone vibrate, and the delivery person held the mobile phone and typed, looking a little anxious.

Perhaps because his hands were stained with water, it became a little difficult to touch the screen of his mobile phone, and the delivery man subconsciously wiped it with his sleeve, but there was also water on his clothes.

“...... Hey, I'll be right here, I'm ...... here."

Picking up the phone, the delivery man made an anxious call.

But before he could say a word, the delivery man's voice stopped abruptly, as if interrupted by the person on the other end of the phone.

"I ......"

The delivery man seemed to want to explain a few more sentences, but the other party's phone had obviously hung up, and the delivery man could only silently put down the hand holding the mobile phone, lowered his head, and fell silent.

......

The shopkeeper, who was sitting on the threshold, watched the scene, stood up again, and stepped into the store again.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to walk out again, with an extra handkerchief in his hand, and walked towards the delivery man.

“...... Wipe the rain off your body, young man, don't catch a cold. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed the handkerchief in his hand to the delivery man.

Hearing the sound, the delivery man slowly raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper.

“...... Thank you, thank you......"

The delivery man stretched out his hand to take the hairkerchief, and wiped the rain from his body as he spoke.

Rubbing and rubbing, the delivery man's hand holding the handkerchief became tighter and tighter, and he lowered his head, tears flowing out of his reddened eyes.

Slowly squatted down and hugged his head,

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

Grabbing his hair, the delivery man choked,

“...... Young man, life is not easy, and it is inevitable that you will encounter difficulties, but there is no threshold that you can't pass, just get through it. ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile, turned around again, walked back to Lian Ge's side, sat down on the threshold,

“...... It's raining heavily. The shopkeeper looked out of the eaves and said,

"However, we don't think this rain is satisfactory, maybe it's somewhere else, it's a much-needed rain, sir, right?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the shopkeeper and smiled slightly,

Turn your eyes and look at the streets in the rain.

On the street, the rain continued to lap, and the rainwater accumulated along the eaves continued to flow down the eaves, and continued to flow forward along the street.

Under the eaves, Lian Ge and the shopkeeper quietly watched the street outside the eaves.

The beggar held a wooden stick and looked at the shower in a daze,

The delivery man, squatting, holding his head, grabbing his hair, choked.
