Chapter 8 Someone is waiting for you under the dim street lamp
In the next few days, Xiao Yu began a semi-secluded life behind closed doors.
The injuries on his body were almost healed, and Xiao Yu began to learn some modern skills, such as driving and computer technology, with the help of Su Qing.
Under Su Qing's tutelage, although Xiao Yu has not yet come into contact with more advanced computer technology, ordinary Internet access is no longer a problem. As a killer, Xiao Yu's learning and comprehension ability is already super strong, and he has mastered many modern electrical appliances in a few days, and a few days ago he used Su Qing's car to learn to drive in a vacant lot near the community.
At the beginning, Xiao Yu had a faint sense of resistance to this huge steel monster with four wheels, because he still vaguely remembered that the first time he crossed into this world, he was knocked away by this steel monster called a car. Although Xiao Yu is a master of martial arts, his intuition tells him that this kind of thing called a car still poses a certain threat to himself.
However, Su Qing told him that if you can't drive in modern society, it's like you can't ride a horse in ancient times, and your movement will be greatly restricted. Under Su Qing's repeated supervision and encouragement, Xiao Yu finally overcame the obstacles in his heart and began to try to learn to drive. After really learning to drive, Xiao Yu felt more intuitively the convenience brought to him by his driving skills. The speed and comfort are much better than riding a horse.
With the gradual adaptation to modern life, Xiao Yu also fell more and more like this kind of life. Although the social economy of the Hongwu and Jianwen periods of the Ming Dynasty where Xiao Yu originally lived was relatively developed, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, compared with the modern society, whether it was the degree of civilization or the convenience and comfort of life, it was simply heaven and earth, and the gap was too great.
Xiao Yu had seen the lives of high-ranking officials and nobles in the Ming Dynasty before, but compared with modern times, it was far less colorful than the lives of ordinary people.
In addition to the richness of life, Xiao Yu has also added a lot of other knowledge. For example, the relationship between the earth they live on and the entire universe, for example, there are many other countries far away in this world, and their strength and civilization are no less than the Chinese land in which they live, all these knowledge subverted his previous cognition.
And yesterday Su Qing brought back a stack of English books and study CDs for him when he got off work, and told him that English is the universal language, and if you don't know English in modern society, it will be difficult to move abroad an inch. So Xiao Yu didn't say a word and began to learn English on his own.
"The language of this barbarian is really difficult to learn. Xiao Yu closed the English textbook, and in his opinion, these tadpole characters were far less intuitive and easy to learn than the Chinese characters of Great Huaxia.
The mobile phone next to "Jingle Bell ......" rang, which Su Qing bought specifically for Xiao Yu to facilitate the daily contact between the two.
"Hey?" Xiao Yu picked up his phone.
"Xiao Yu, I'm Su Qing, I'm going to work overtime tonight, maybe I'll come back later, you can go to a nearby restaurant to buy something to eat." ”
"Okay, then you come back at night and stay safe. "Usually, every day when Su Qing comes home from work, she will stop by to buy vegetables and come back, and then cook a few side dishes at home. Xiao Yu has been accustomed to this kind of life for a few months, and when Su Qing couldn't go home after working overtime, he really felt a little lost and lonely. But this is not the first time after all, Xiao Yu has already learned how to spend money to eat in a restaurant.
Xiao Yu came to an alley outside the community and ordered a bowl of noodles from a noodle restaurant on the side of the road. This is the only way for Su Qing to go home, and he plans to sit here and wait for Su Qing to come back.
The owner of the noodle restaurant is a short and fat uncle, Xiao Yu and Su Qing have come to eat noodles a few times, and they already know each other. Seeing Xiao Yu coming to eat noodles alone tonight, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Young man, why are you here alone today?
"Girlfriend?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the uncle was asking Su Qing. However, the title of girlfriend was not available in the Ming Dynasty before, so Xiao Yu was quite unaccustomed to it after hearing it for the first time, but even if he guessed it, he roughly knew what his girlfriend meant.
"Oh, hehe, uncle, you may be a little misunderstood, we are not that kind of relationship. Xiao Yu hurriedly said. In his opinion, this is about the reputation of Su Qing's girl's family, but he must explain it clearly to others.
"Oh, so you're not boyfriend and girlfriend?" the uncle was a little surprised, "Look at my gossip, I saw that you were quite right when you were together, and that little girl seemed to have a good impression of you." It would be a shame to say that you are not a couple. ”
"Uncle is joking, I don't know anything, how can Su Qing like me?"
"Don't believe it, young man. Uncle, I have lived for decades, and I never look at people wrong. I see you, you are in this mountain. Men, you still have to take the initiative when you should take the initiative. ”
“……”
Xiao Yu didn't know how to answer, but when it came to talking about Su Qing, he also had a hazy feeling in his heart, but he didn't know how to describe it, and he didn't dare to think about it.
"No, I came into this world, but I can't do anything. Moreover, I am not of this world. Xiao Yu shook his head secretly, dispelling the hazy feeling in his mind.
……
It was ten o'clock in the evening, Su Qing was dragging her tired body and rushing home, still thinking about some problems encountered at work.
Suddenly, Su Qing saw a familiar figure at the mouth of the alley, smiling at her under the dim street lamp.
Su Qing's heart suddenly swelled with a warm feeling. Since she came to this big city to work alone, she rarely felt like this.
Well, it feels good to have someone waiting for them to come home.
"Why are you here?" Su Qing raised her head and smiled like a flower under the street lamp.
"I'm idle at home, so I'll come out and wait for you. Have you had dinner?" Xiao Yu asked casually.
"Well, I ate casually at the company. ”
"Shall we go home then?"
"Hmm...... Why don't you go shopping with me?"
So, the two walked slowly along the alley, feeling a hint of coolness and silence in the middle of the night. Su Qing told Xiao Yu interesting things in the company, and Xiao Yu reported to Su Qing the progress of learning computer and English in the past few days.
Under the dim street lamp, the two walked aimlessly, stepping on the withered yellow sycamore leaves, making a "click" sound.
It's been a long time since I've felt this way, and it can't help but remind me of those times on a college campus. At that time, every night, on the road in the school, under the dim street lamp, rolling the road, carefree. It's just that the original person is gone...... Yuguang, where have you been? Su Qing remembered the past, and there was a pain in her heart for no reason.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu noticed the change in Su Qing's expression.
"Oh, nothing. Su Qing hid her expression, "I'm probably a little tired, let's go back." ”
"Good. Xiao Yu didn't poke her, just walked back according to her wishes.
"Xiao Yu, have you ever had someone you like, or did you have a girlfriend during the Ming Dynasty?"
"Hmm...... I don't have a girlfriend, the only thing I think about is my little sister. Xiao Yu sighed, and couldn't help but see the smiling face of the little junior sister in front of her.
He and his little sister are childhood sweethearts, and many assassination missions have been completed together. It's just that this mission is particularly dangerous, and the master didn't let the junior sister out, which saved her life. I don't know how the little sister is doing now? she can't find me, she must think I'm dead, I don't know if she will feel sorry for me?
Su Qing saw Xiao Yu's lonely expression and knew that she had touched his pain point, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Don't be sad, since you can travel over, maybe you can travel back one day." After saying this, Su Qing didn't even believe herself, you should be a time machine for Doraemon, you can go wherever you want? However, I can't think of a better way now, so I can only comfort Xiao Yu like this first.
Xiao Yu naturally understood in his heart, smiled bitterly, and stopped talking.
"Huh?" When the two of them walked to a corner of the alley, Xiao Yu's heart moved, someone was following him? I just don't know if this person's target is Su Qing or himself?
Xiao Yu remained silent and led Su Qing to a dark and uninhabited alley on the side.
"It's the wrong way, isn't it? Su Qing asked strangely.
"Hehe, if you don't come here, how can you lure them out?" Xiao Yu said lightly, his mouth snuggling in the direction of the alley.
Su Qing turned around, but saw that two black figures were already blocked behind her.
Under the dim street lamp, Su Qing could barely see that one of them was tall and had a crooked and terrifying scar on his face. Although the other person was short, the fierce light in his eyes was even stronger, but when he saw Su Qing's appearance, the fierce light in his eyes became obsessed in vain.
Li Deyuan and Wang Shunzi have been wandering around here for two days. A few days ago, someone found them, gave them a photo of Su Qing, and told them the address of Su Qing's house, and asked them to cut off the hand of a man who lived with Su Qing, and all this should be done in front of Su Qing. For this reason, the other party paid a large deposit, and there was another generous remuneration after the agreement was completed.
Li Deyuan has long been familiar with this kind of business, he was originally a gangster thug in a northern city, he stabbed someone to death during a brawl, so he fled south to here, and continued to do the business of collecting money and eliminating disasters for others.
Although Wang Shunzi has never killed anyone, he is also a gangster leader in the local underworld, when he learned about Li Deyuan's background, he took him in, and Li Deyuan was also very grateful to him and helped him expand his power.
The two of them wandered around this neighborhood for two days, only to see Su Qing coming in and out every day, but the other man rarely went out, and even if he went out, he was alone and not with Su Qing, so they endured it and didn't do it. Finally, I happened to meet Su Qing and the man going out for a stroll tonight, this is a great opportunity, of course the two will not let it go.
