"Boom!" The deafening thunder roared, and in an instant, the rain poured down from the gloomy sky, and the Nanshan Town of Linghai City was covered by the torrential rain for a moment.

The wind was raging, and the rain was falling wildly.

There was no one on Tongtian Street in Nanshan Town at this time, and the white flowers on the street were all water, converging into a flowing river, and countless splashes were blooming on it.

Inside a restaurant called "Yimin Fast Food Restaurant" on Tongtian Street, an old man about 60 years old walked to the door of the restaurant, frowned at the pouring rain outside, sighed, and muttered: "Hey! It's raining so hard, it seems that there is no business today." ”

He turned his gaze and was stunned for a moment, because he saw a person, standing under the eaves next to the door of the store, although he was soaked, he was still standing there like a rock, he looked very young, dressed quite plainly, a little whitish green old military uniform, a pair of army green canvas shoes, thin and long, dark complexion, a very simple face under a short black flat head, I don't know if it was born because of the rain, the eyes were like water reflecting the sun, very bright and bright.

He held an earthy yellow bag in both hands, as if he was afraid of getting wet in the rain, and hugged it very tightly and tightly.

The first reaction when he looked like a soldier was that he was a soldier, but the military uniform was too old and not worn by soldiers of this era at all, so the old man denied the first idea, and then thought that this should be a rural migrant worker who came to the city.

"Come in, young man, take shelter from the rain, don't catch a cold. ”

The man turned his head to look at the old man, smiled innocently, showed his white teeth, and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

He walked in the door, and looked at the small restaurant curiously, the restaurant was not big, there were only five or six tables in it, all of them were a little shabby, he did not go any further, only stood straight by the door, his eyes looked out of the door.

"Sit down, lad. ”

"Uncle, there is water on my body and the soles of my feet, and I am afraid of soiling your floor, table and chairs, so I can just stand. ”

What a good young man, the young man in the countryside is so qualified, he is better than the young man in the city, the old man smiled: "It's okay, you just sit." ”

"Thank you, uncle, I'll stand still. He smiled again.

"Listen to your accent, young man, you're not a local, are you?"

The young man nodded.

The old man asked, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from the mountains. ”

The old man in the ravine asked, "Which province is the mountain?"

The young man shook his head, "I don't know, it's a mountain far away from here." ”

This young man didn't even know where he was, and it was pitiful, "What's your name?" the old man had a good impression of him, and couldn't help but ask more.

"My name is Xiaoshan and I have a grandfather who adopted me. ”

Grandpa left the mountain half a year ago and never went back, not only grandfather, but also the neighbors who lived in the mountain disappeared one by one, and finally only he and Shui Bo were left in the entire ravine.

Shui Bo suddenly handed him a letter half a month ago, saying that it was left to him by his grandfather when he went out for half a year, and the letter said that seventeen years ago, he found a hill in the ravine that had been abandoned in swaddling clothes, so he picked him up and raised him until now.

Only then did he realize that he was an orphan without a father or mother.

Grandpa's letter said that he should let Xiaoshan leave the mountains and go to the city for a while, and he couldn't stay in the mountains for the rest of his life.

So he left the next day, and when he said goodbye to Shui Bo when he left, he found that Shui Bo was also gone, leaving only a map to Linghai City.

The map drawn by Shuibo has mountain roads, small paths, and large roads.

He trekked along mountain roads and paths to Linghai City, and saw a different world from the mountains along the way.

I also rescued a person, a few days ago when I was walking on the mountain road, I saw a man driving a car on the mountain road pulled a girl out of the car, put her against the wall stone on the side of the mountain, he still held a dagger in his hand, beat her hard, threatened and intimidated her, and shamelessly let the girl take off her clothes, wanting to insult her.

He happened to pass by and saw this scene, Uncle Feng in the mountains once told him that there are many bad people in the outside world, and the most hateful thing is the bad people who bully women, and if you see them, you must punish them severely.

So he struck, kicked the man away, and then stripped him naked and tied him to a tree halfway up the mountain.

The girl returned to heaven from hell, and her gratitude can be imagined, and the girl will always have a special affection for the hero who saves the beauty, so she has to leave his mobile phone number and some private signal.

He didn't keep it, he had a mobile phone, but it was a very dilapidated straight black screen mobile phone, which only stored the numbers of less than ten people, or the mobile phone numbers of the mountain people who lived with him before.

He had never called, and he didn't know what his number was, let alone a private signal, and his phone didn't have this feature at all.

The girl's mobile phone is completely different from hers, very beautiful, and has a lot of functions, what is it called a smartphone.

The girl took his mobile phone to dial her own number, but found that she couldn't get through, and finally had no choice but to give up the idea of leaving her mobile phone number.

The girl said that the man who bullied her was an online car-hailing driver, she was a flight attendant, she had been off work for the past two days, and she wanted to take a taxi to a friend in the city in the afternoon to party, but she didn't expect to meet such a beastly driver, if there was no hill, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He just replied humbly that Uncle Feng in the mountains said that men should protect women.

Xiaoshan has never communicated with people outside the mountain, especially with girls, since I was a child, I have only seen a woman in the mountain.

After saying a few words, he wanted to leave, because he really didn't know what to say to her, and the girl said that she was scared on the mountain road at night, and asked Xiaoshan to accompany her and wait for the police to come.

So Xiaoshan stayed with her for half an hour, and then the police arrived.

So Xiaoshan quietly left, and the girl didn't know how he left.

Xiaoshan knew that the police were the ones who specialized in protecting the people, and since the police who protected the people came, he was relieved, so he slipped away quietly.

The night before he walked out of the mountain, Shui Bo gave him all kinds of basic life knowledge in the outside world, he had never been out of the mountain, and it was basically a blank sheet of paper.

Although Xiaoshan was very confused, he also had a slight understanding of the world outside the mountain.

Today finally came to Linghai Nanshan Town, unfortunately caught up with the rainstorm, he is not afraid of the rain, the wolf uncle in the mountains used to be with him in the rainstorm for three days and two nights is fine, but he does not want to wet the bag in his hand, which are all given to him by his grandfather and uncles.

Fatherless and motherless, and a man in a ravine who knew nothing, the old man felt more and more pitiful for him.

Seeing that it was already noon, and it was time to eat, there was no table of guests yet, of course, it had something to do with this ghost weather, the old man said, "Xiaoshan, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat." ”

Xiaoshan said: "Uncle, what do I bring with me?" He took out a black and hard thing from his bag and put it in his mouth, he didn't know what it was made of, and he chewed it and made a gurgling sound.

The old man frowned and said, "What is this?"

Xiaoshan smiled: "This is what I brought from the mountain, but it is delicious, do you want to taste it?" ”

Is this black thing eaten by people? The old man was about to cry, what a poor child, "Wait, I'll cook for you." ”

"Uncle, I really don't need it!" Saying that, he touched his head innocently, "I'...... I don't have any money. "Shui Bo once said that you need to pay for anything you buy outside.

What made him most depressed was that neither his grandfather nor Shui Bo had ever given him a penny, maybe they were in too much of a hurry and didn't expect this.

"It's okay, I invited you. With that, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

After a while, the old man brought a big bowl of steaming shredded pork noodles and came out, "Xiaoshan, you can eat." ”

Xiaoshan looked at the shredded meat noodles and swallowed his saliva, it was so fragrant!

"Uncle, grandpa said that I won't eat in vain. As if he had made some decision, he took the noodles and did not sit down, but went to the door and stood and ate.

In less than a moment, a large bowl of noodles was wiped out in an instant, and he looked at the old man embarrassedly.

The old man said, "Isn't one bowl enough?" I'll give you another bowl. ”

"I'm full, sir. "If you let it go, you can't pay it back, five or six bowls can't be, he once ate a whole roasted roe deer in one meal by himself.

He also didn't eat for a week, and once Uncle Wolf in the mountains put him in a cave for seven or eight days, and there was not even a single ant in the cave, nor a drop of water, and when Uncle Wolf let him out, he was already dying.

But he got through it.

Now that he has long been accustomed to this state of extreme hunger, he naturally does not care about eating and drinking, he eats openly when he has it, and hungry when he does not.

Xiaoshan then said: "Uncle, in order to thank you, I will work for you!" said that he picked up the rag on the table and wiped the table and chairs, the old man wanted to stop it, but he thought that he was old, some physical work was indeed a little overwhelmed, and he was too lazy to clean up when he came to see no guests today, this Xiaoshan could help him clean it up, looking at his posture as if he often worked, very careful and serious, not only wiped the tables and chairs, but also wiped the counter kitchen, etc., the floor of the restaurant was wiped spotlessly, and the cobwebs on the top corner of the wall were also cleaned up.

The old man's heart moved, two days ago, there was a waiter in the store who just quit because of his low salary, and now there is such a neat and diligent brother who is sent to the door, isn't it just right?

"Xiaoshan, you're here to work in the city, right?"

Xiaoshan said: "Sort of, grandpa Shui Bo said let me come to the city to break through, I can't stay in the ravine for the rest of my life." ”

"And what are your plans, what kind of job are you looking for?" asked the old man.

Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
