"Dododo"

The knock on the door woke Zhao Xihe. He sat up and looked at the alarm clock on the table, which was gone, in a basin of water on the ground. When I threw it away, there was no impression at all.

"Get up!" came Alie's slightly mischievous shout outside the door.

Zhao Xihe washed up and came to the restaurant to see that breakfast was ready. Flatbread, pickles, stir-fried barnacles, bird's eggs and seaweed soup. At first glance, it is Ali's craftsmanship, smelling fragrant, and eating it is even more fragrant.

Ah Qigong sat barefoot on the bench, smoking a cigarette pot. Every time I get up, I smoke a pot of cigarettes and then eat, and I'm used to it. Zhao Xihe and Ali didn't wait for him, they ate first. You don't have to clean it up after eating.

After eating, open the back door and enter the store. Wipe the table and wipe the table top like a mirror to reflect your face. Then take one herb and rub it again. In this way, when guests come to drink, they will smell a smell of vanilla. The mounds lined up, and then filled the vat on the shelf. Wipe the wine jars one by one. Finally, mop the floor with a dun cloth.

Then open the door of the store, hang up the signboard, according to the habit of the locals, shout on the street: "Hey, the sea is open!" means that the store is open, you come and consume.

Sitting in the store is Ah Qigong's job, and Zhao Xihe is responsible for delivering the goods.

"Abin, ride slowly on the road. Ali instructed Zhao Xihe.

"Okay. ”

In the carriage in front of the donkey, there are 6 barrels of fruit wine, and two large boxes of about 200 packs of sea insect silk [local endemic sea worms]. Zhao Xihe rode a donkey upside down and sent these to the only big hotel in the town. After the delivery, you can come back and rest.

"Stop!"

The man who spoke was a young man in his 30s, as thin as wood. With a bald head, short eyebrows and small eyes, a big dark face and plates, he looks unattractive. As soon as he spoke, he showed a mouthful of rotten teeth. This man is a local bully, Rotten Tooth Six.

"Hey! Sixth brother is early. Zhao Xi and the hippie smiled and saluted.

"I'm going to drink. Rotten Tooth Six looked greedily at the fruit wine on the donkey.

"Tell me, how much wine have you drunk from Ah Qigong's family over the years? I have to change the rules here, give money first, if you don't have money, get out of the way. ”

"You rotten cub, are you looking for a beating?" Rotten Tooth Six was furious, and rolled up his sleeves to beat someone.

"Here, you do it. ”

"Uh-huh......" Rotten Tooth Liuyi was excited, and fell to the ground with a "plop", his hands and feet twitched, and his mouth foamed...... Gotcha, epilepsy. This is the killer feature he has been rampant in the township for 20 years. Everyone didn't dare to provoke him, for fear that he would die of excitement and eat a lawsuit.

The people next to him surrounded him and accused Zhao Xihe: "Tell me about you, what's wrong with giving him a drink? If he dies, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

"It's all what you're used to. Zhao Xihe was too lazy to take care of these people, and rode away.

At 9 o'clock, the store began to be lively, and tourists from other places began to come to the door to consume. Drinking fruit wine, eating local specialty seafood, and chatting all kinds of small tumble. Ali was in charge of stir-frying, mixing cold dishes, Zhao Xihe was busy serving dishes, pouring wine, and the busy day began again.

......

After dinner, Ah Qigong went out again with his skin on his back.

"Is this sea worm easy to catch?" Zhao Xihe was curious.

"It's hard to catch. During the day, the insects all hide in the reef and sand burrows, and only come out at night to feed. No one can catch me but my father. Ali replied with a proud face.

"How did the old man catch it?"

"It's a unique skill, even I don't know. ”

Out of curiosity, Zhao Xihe quietly went to the shallow sea below the sea cliff. A fierce man plunged into the icy water, and with the smell of his armpits left by Ah Qigong, he dived to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 30 meters. Then swim towards a piece of light.

The light was a diving lamp, and the thin old man Ah Qigong held the lamp in one hand and the shovel in the other, digging sea insects in the corals and reefs. This is a large fat bug that resembles both silkworm chrysalis and ship maggots. They wriggled from reef to reef, nibbling on seaweed. When he was illuminated by a flashlight, he immediately shrunk into a ball and remained motionless. Then, like picking up a stone, Ah Qigong grabbed one and stuffed one into the skin bag behind his back......

At night, I risked my life to dive to the bottom of the sea and scratch the ...... one by one It's also too hard. A dish of sea insect silk sells for 15 yuan, which is really not expensive. If it were me, I would sell it for 30 yuan anyway.

In 15 minutes, the gas in the body was almost consumed, and Zhao Xihe quickly dived and went to the sea to breathe.

After changing his breath, Zhao Xihe dived again, ready to help Ah Qigong catch sea insects.

Suddenly, he thought of a fatal and strange thing: Ah Qigong did not carry any oxygen supply equipment, and he did not breathe for at least 17 minutes, but he still grabbed the worm without hurry...... Is this human?!!

Could it be that this armpit odor is the body odor of mutants?!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xihe decided to observe secretly.

Ah Qigong was still busy catching insects, and he never noticed that there were people hiding in the coral bushes next to him. He was naked, and the skin under his armpits opened and closed slightly in the seawater, constantly sucking in and out of the seawater, like the gills of a fish......

it!!

Ah Qigong actually has fish gills under his ribs...... Could it be that he is the legendary D-mutant?!

In order to determine this matter, Zhao Xihe surfaced, sat on the sea cliff, and waited.

Two hours passed, and Ah Qigong finally surfaced out of the sea with a heavy leather bag on his back, and then swam like a penguin and came to the beach. He took off his skin, sat down, held the pot of cigarettes, and began to swallow the clouds.

"Bang!" a dagger was stuck in the sand at Ah Qigong's feet.

"Hmm......" Ah Qigong was startled, stood up and looked around, and after not finding a figure, he leaned down with a confused face and picked up the dagger.

The dagger is black all over, and the blade is carved with a strange and delicate pattern: a flame-like flower on the other side, surrounded by a delicate skull.

This is the emblem of the New Humanity Alliance.

When Ah Qigong saw this pattern, his face changed greatly, he jumped up like an antelope, threw his legs and ran into the sea, and then "poof" and plunged into the sea.

"......" Zhao Xihe looked at the splash on the sea and was stunned.

Such a big reaction?

What's the situation??!

At this time, Ali held up a flashlight and found it. Zhao Xihe didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to go to the bottom of the sea, for fear of being accidentally injured by Ah Qigong. Next, he accompanied Ali to search the entire coast, but did not find Ah Qigong.

Since that night, Ah Qigong has disappeared for 2 days. As a result, the shop was closed for 2 days.

At dawn on the third day, Ah Qigong suddenly appeared. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Ali, "Ali, let's leave here and go live somewhere else." ”

"Abba...... What's wrong?" Ah Li looked at the depressed Ah Qigong, distressed and dazed.

When Ah Qigong saw Zhao Xihe, he said apologetically: "Abin, we're moving, you, let's change jobs." ”

Well, it seems that the old man didn't know that I was testing him that night.

In other words, the old man is hiding from the New Human Alliance, and the two are in between...... There must be a story.

"Ah Qigong, I want to talk to you alone. ”

"Oh......" Ah Qigong followed Zhao Xihe suspiciously to the corner of the small courtyard.

"Qigong, I was an agent of the Planning Bureau before, you should know about the Planning Bureau, right? Well, now, no. Also, because of your profession, I found out that you are a mutant, so I tested you...... Yes, that night, I threw the dagger......"

"Boy, you're scared to death. ”

After listening to Zhao Xihe's explanation, Ah Qigong was relieved and calmed down.

"What did you run that night?"

"I'm afraid. ”

After listening to Ah Qigong's story, it turned out that he was also a member of the New Human Alliance. Because he refused to kill innocents indiscriminately, he sneaked away. He had seen the methods of these people to kill people, and he was afraid of reprisals, so he hid incognito and lived in Yanweiyu.

"How many people are there in this organization, have you met their leader, Mr. Chu?"

"There are about 500 people, all over the Elephant Mountain. I heard that there are parts in the St. Dereans region, Canada and the United States. Mr. Chu...... I'm too low to see it. ”

"Have you seen the Earl?"

"Oh...... I've seen it once, and it's a white-skinned guy. ”

After chatting for a long time, I found that Ah Qigong didn't know much about the New Human Alliance.

"I'm not a Planning Bureau agent anymore, so I'm not going to arrest you. Now like you, I just want to be an ordinary person. Don't move, I love it here. ”

"Good. Ah Qigong agreed as soon as he could, and he didn't want to move.

Afterwards, Ali asked Zhao Xihe curiously, "What did you talk to my father?"

"The secret of our grandfather. ”

"Ah, virtue. ”

Ah Qigong followed Zhao Xihe's suggestion, and every night the two of them went to the sea together to catch sea insects, dig barnacles, keep enough for the store itself, and sell the rest to the hotel. If you don't take takeout orders, whoever wants to drink will come to the store to consume. In this way, more money is made and people are less busy.

"Abin, let's get 10,000 yuan today. Ali counted the bills. Before Zhao Xihe came, he received a maximum of 5,000 yuan a day, and it was usually about 2,000.

"Let's celebrate tonight and get drunk!" Qi Gong suggested.

"Okay. ”

"Abin, you are really our lucky star, since you came, the business in the store has been getting better and better, don't say anything, Qigong will give you a drink!"

"Abin, you caught the most bugs last night, come, Qigong respects you. ”

"Abin, Qigong is happy today, come, change the big cup and have a good drink. ”

Ah Li fried a few hard dishes, and the three of them sat down and drank the wine that Ah Qigong had stored for 10 years. From 8 o'clock and drank until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Although Zhao Xihe drank a lot of wine, he couldn't stand Ah Qigong's enthusiasm, one glass from the left and one glass from the right, and kept toasting. Eventually, it was drunk.

Zhao Xihe lay on the floor, smirking vigorously.

"Grandma's, this grandson is really a big drinker. Ah Qigong gulped down hangover tea. As he spoke, he got angry and kicked Zhao Xi and his ass twice.

"Abba, why are you pouring Abin wine?" Ah Li was a little dissatisfied.

"Stop talking nonsense, help Abin to rest. ”

Although Ali drank less, she was also dizzy, and her legs were weak when she walked. She and Ah Qigong were alone, and helped the drunk Abin into the house. Put him on the bed and take off his shoes.

The smell of her feet almost smoked Ali, and she woke up halfway through the wine.

"Oops......" Ali felt something tripping, and her body threw herself forward and lay on Zhao Xihe's body.

"Stay with me, don't let this kid vomit on the bed. After speaking, Ah Qigong walked out of the house with a wicked smile, and locked the door with a "click". Then he reached out and pulled the electric switch, and the room was instantly dark.

"Huh, there's another power outage?"

"Abin, are you alright?"

"Hey, don't touch me......"

"Abin, I'm Ali, oops......"

"Alas......" Ah Qigong looked at the bright night sky above his head, let out a long sigh, and turned back to the house.
