Summer is approaching, and the rainy Oucheng District has not rained for nearly a month, and the temperature is rising more and more. On May 23, 1995, another boring Tuesday in the long history of Oucheng District, Dongou City, was so ordinary and mediocre that it was so calm and dull that it was destined to be impossible to be recorded by future generations, and the morning was the scorching sun. Even a slight morning breeze is far from enough to blow away the heat outside.

On the playground of Bailifang Primary School, after more than 2,000 children routinely finished their morning exercises, Principal Jin stepped onto the podium and opened his mouth as if lying: "The sun is a little big today, if the students hold on a little longer, I will speak for ten minutes." ”

Not far from the bottom of the stage, in the team of class 5 (6), Xiong Bo turned a deaf ear, excitedly and restlessly talking to Peng Fangfang next to him: "Have you heard, even the tank was dispatched last night!"

"Tank, isn't it the kind of fire-breathing robbery?" Peng Fangfang had a "I also have a source" expression.

"No, no, of course there are flamethrowers, but they don't work!" Xiong Bo immediately followed Peng Fangfang's words and pulled down conclusively, "That vampire has evolved, I heard that it ate the dead vampire, and then he is not afraid of fire." Vampires aren't afraid of three things, afraid of fire, afraid of light, and afraid of something, anyway, as long as the vampire eats other vampires, he will be invincible if he eats enough three. But fortunately, there are only three of them this time, and no matter how much it eats, there will always be something to be afraid of. ”

Lao Jin on the stage was faintly aware of the commotion below, but he did not stop it, but raised his voice too loudly, and happily announced: "Our student Lin Miao from Class 6 (3) won the first prize in the city's primary school students' essay contest last week, and he won the first place again! Let us congratulate Lin Miao!"

But Xiong Bo and Peng Fangfang didn't give face at all, anyway, the rostrum was far enough away, and the voices were getting louder and louder-

"Vampires can still evolve?" Peng Fangfang was surprised at first, but then paused for half a beat, "Huh, were you talking about dolls just now?"

"Principal Jin doesn't talk about dolls one day? dolls win awards every day anyway, and vampires only come out of the mountain once in a hundred years. Xiong Bo spit out disappreciatively and continued the topic of vampires, "I also heard that two Taoist priests died, and there was originally a way to kill vampires, but I just didn't expect those two vampires to eat the corpses of their companions, and they became a lot stronger all of a sudden." The People's Liberation Army has also died a lot, so there is no choice but to drive tanks in. ”

Peng Fangfang felt that she couldn't blow Xiong Bo, so she could only change roles and humbly ask for advice: "Where did you hear this?"

Xiong Bo said solemnly: "Didn't you hear such a loud sound last night? At one or two o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden noise on the road on our side, and my family lives on the side of the road, and I knew that it was a tank coming in as soon as I heard it!"

The more Xiong Bo and Peng Fangfang talked, the more energetic they became, and the children on the side couldn't help but whisper when they heard it.

In just a few minutes, the topic of vampires centered on Xiong Bo and Peng Fangfang, and spread like a plague in all directions.

Lao Jin on the stage saw that the situation was out of control, and his voice became louder and louder: "Lin Miao not only won the first place in the city's essay competition last week!!"

Offstage –

"You're talking about vampires, have you heard that?"

"Are there really vampires?"

"It's scary, let's go together after school today......"

"According to what you say, vampires are invincible if they eat enough three vampires, so why don't they eat them earlier?" Xiong Bo next to him, a child in the next class suddenly asked.

Xiong Bo smiled coldly, and the expert possessed: "Are you stupid? If you were a vampire, would you stand stupidly and let others eat you? Of course, you can only eat it when you die! Isn't it just that this time it was not easy to eat the corpse of a vampire who was killed by the People's Liberation Army, and it was difficult for a vampire to die, okay?"

This wave of explanations is technical enough, and the children who interjected were educated by Xiong Bo to suddenly understand.

Peng Fangfang couldn't help but glance at Xiong Bo more, her expression was full of admiration.

Lao Jin on the podium finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and let out an angry shout, "Students...... Stop talking!!"

Woo——!

The school's loudspeaker echoed sharply and harshly.

The two thousand children on the playground were busy discussing vampires, and they all shut up when they felt the damage to their eardrums.

Lao Jin sighed speechlessly, then calmed down, and said slowly in a serious tone: "I know, my classmates have heard some strange things in the past few days. But I can tell you very responsibly that all these rumors are false, and they are rumors! We must resolutely resist these feudal and superstitious things, and there are no ghosts in this world at all......."

……

When Principal Jin was hoarsely trying his best to save the children's three views, Lin Miao had just woken up from the small storage room bed. When I opened my eyes, I was confused, and I didn't know if it was day or night outside.

"Fallen, the days when you don't have to go to work to support your family, sleeping lazy is simply force majeure......" Lin Miao muttered, reaching out and pulling the string at the head of the bed, the fluorescent lamp in the storage room turned on, and the soft white light illuminated the nest.

Lin Miao took the small alarm clock at the bedside and glanced at the time.

At 7:42 a.m., 18 minutes before the street cafeteria closes......

Lin Miao hesitated for two seconds, quickly made a decision, a carp jumped up from the bed, rushed into the bathroom and spent three minutes brushing his teeth, washing his face and putting water, and then ran downstairs with his slippers crackling, crossed the road, rushed into the street compound, stepped on the last shift of the canteen master, and shouted in front of the window on tiptoe: "Uncle! Noodles and two poached eggs, eggs should be fried on both sides, and egg yolks should be oiled! Put more dried shrimp, don't dry shreds, don't mustard vegetables, and put less green onions!"

As he was shouting, a hand suddenly reached out behind him, put it on Lin Miao's head, and rubbed it gently.

Lin Miao turned her head to take a look, and when she saw that it was Hu Jianhui, she immediately tilted her head maliciously and shouted loudly: "Auntie, it's early!"

Hu Jianhui picked Lin Miao up, smelled the toothpaste in Lin Miao's mouth, poked his head forward, rubbed against Lin Miao's forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't do this, don't want that, why are you so picky?"

Lin Miao retorted: "This is not a picky eater, dried shreds and mustard are not nutritious, I am respecting the choice of my heart and tongue, is this called personal food art and taste aesthetics?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Eat a meal and be artistic, better than your dad. Hu Jianhui poked Lin Miao's forehead, "Are you not going to school now?"

"Hmm. Lin Miao said calmly, "This Saturday's foreign Chinese entrance exam, after the exam, I will wait to go to junior high school." ”

Hu Jianhui nodded slightly.

The two of them stood in front of the window for less than half a minute, and the master brought out two bowls of noodles.

Hu Jianhui carried Lin Miao to the leader of the cafeteria, let Lin Miao sit down, and then turned back, holding the tray and returning with two bowls of noodles.

The master chef grabbed the towel and shouted to the back room with a sweat: "Director Hu, I'll turn off the fire first, and you can help me lock the door when you leave later!"

Hu Jianhui smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

As soon as the master closed the door of the inner room, the entire cafeteria fell silent in an instant.

Lin Miao wrote another 1,000-word Lao Lin comeback last night as "Lin Guorong Teaches His Son to Write Essays", the workload is not large, but every word is written carefully, and it is completely according to academic specifications, so the consumption is huge. At this time, I was hungry and panicked, and my little hand grabbed the chopsticks to scoop up the noodles, and I could eat vigorously.

Hu Jianhui looked at Lin Miao's gobbling up, the more she looked at it, the more cute she felt, full of maternal love, and whispered: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, eating so quickly will cause indigestion ......"

"Mmmm......" Lin Miao responded, but the speed of the chopsticks did not decrease.

Hu Jianhui talked about Lao Lin again: "Your father went out with the city leaders early in the morning, have you heard about the incident on Hubin Road?"

Lin Miao nodded, her mouth kept talking: "Suck and suck and suck......"

Hu Jianhui smiled. These days, they are all only children, a child as old as Lin Miao, as long as the family conditions are slightly better, which one is not spoiled? It is good to eat a meal on weekdays without chasing and running, and it is really rare to be able to eat so consciously and heroically. Especially Lin Miao is small and small, looking lean, she can eat the momentum of an adult when she eats, and the strong contrast is cute, so Hu Jianhui almost feels that her heart is about to melt.

"My Nan Nan was scared by the children in the kindergarten yesterday and cried, are you afraid of that...... Vampire?" Hu Jianhui didn't know what to think, and told Lin Miao about it.

Lin Miao chewed the noodles in his mouth and swallowed it, and said casually: "If there really is that kind of thing, if it is my turn one day, it means that human domination of the earth can almost come to an end." So since it's the extinction of species by natural selection, I'm afraid that there will be another fart? Anyway, it's destined to live shortly; on the other hand, if there is a way to hold these things down, it will be when the sky falls and there is an army on top of it, and I don't explain what I'm afraid of. Take a step back and say, if things are fake at all - fake and talk!"

Hu Jianhui nodded again and again when she heard this. She has talked to many young people in the street about this problem, and they are basically college graduates, but none of them can analyze the logical level of fear or not so clearly.

Hu Jianhui couldn't help asking: "Then do you think this matter is true or false?"

"Do you still need to think about this? It must be fake, if there is such a species that can go to the sky and enter the earth and still have the same IQ level as humans, human beings will be extinct long ago. Lin Miao picked up the sea bowl and took a sip of soup.

Hu Jianhui couldn't help sighing: "Alas, if only my Nan Nan was as smart as you, I was so scared by this last night that I couldn't coax it, I was supposed to be on duty on the street at night, but she cried back and hugged her and slept all night." ”

Lin Miao forced a poached egg into her mouth.

Hu Jianhui also gave Lin Miao the poached eggs in his bowl, and said with a smile: "Auntie, give you this egg, can you help your aunt take care of my Nannan for one night?"

Lin Miao contracted and stretched her muscles for a moment, silently sandwiched the poached egg back into Hu Jianhui's bowl, and said: "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to eat your eggs, the key is that I'm afraid that when Nan Nan grows up in the future, if she knows that she was sold by you with an egg, and it's upside down, it will definitely affect your mother-daughter relationship." ”

Hu Jianhui smiled low, and was immediately amused by Lin Miao's words.

He laughed for a while before stopping.

Hu Jianhui took two mouthfuls of noodles, and then went back to the topic: "In the past two days, this incident has made our street chickens and dogs restless, and many people in the police station ask this and that every day, and some parents of children with unclear brains have really called the police, saying that they have seen vampires." Yesterday, I don't know who said that the vampire was hiding on the lakeside road, yesterday the road was blocked, there were several people watching the excitement by the lake, and they were all squeezed into the lake, fortunately, the water of Oucheng Lake is shallow, otherwise you said that something was going to happen, and there was no ghost and there was a ghost. ”

Lin Miao sucked and sucked the last few noodles in the bowl clean, and while continuing to fish for dried shrimp in the soup, he followed Hu Jianhui's words and said: "Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing, you see that there are lakes on both sides of the lakeside road, and it is not easy to develop. Dongou City Ghost Cultural Festival' comes out, when the time comes, all the shops in the city that sell all kinds of sesame oil candles to make dead people will be taken over to make up the number, and then a bunch of stalls selling various talismans and crafts will come over, and the time will not be much, a week will be enough to form a special service industry gathering place.

When the time comes, we will find the Religious Affairs Administration to cooperate, call a few monks and Taoist priests to come over to recite scriptures, give a lecture or something, as long as someone is willing to buy tickets, it is essentially no different from watching a play, as long as you can sell tickets, the street can collect management fees, and the land tax can collect taxes, and this cultural industry chain will not rise? In this way, there is no need to engage in any useless green belts by the lake, all the useless flowers and plants have been shoveled, and two rows of houses can still collect rent.

In this way, as long as the fame can rise and the economic indicators can be improved, not to mention that the Religious Affairs Administration supports us, I am sure that the CPPCC and the people's congress will also support us, and with the support of the people's congress and the CPPCC, should the city government allocate money to us in the next step......

Lin Miao pointed out that the country didn't stop, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he drank all the soup in the bowl while saying that.

Then wiped his mouth and continued: "Also, the antique market is actually similar to this kind of ghostly and weird things, in case the Propaganda Department thinks that this place is promoting feudal superstition one day, let's change our face and still live, or simply take the initiative to improve ourselves, and slowly change from selling paper money, candles, coffins, and urns, step by step to selling antiques, ancient books, and antiques, a little bit elegant, even if eighty percent of them are fakes, it doesn't matter, the key is that this market can do it for it." ”

"There's not enough land, right?" Hu Jianhui asked in fascination when he heard this.

Lin Miao waved her hand, she didn't dare to brag in the district government office in her previous life, but today she finally had a chance to vomit, and said high-spiritedly: "It's impossible that there is not enough land." A stable market must have an economic radiation belt. Hubin Road from south to north, there is an exit in the east-west direction, a lotus lane, and the entrance is Dongou Middle School, which no longer needs to be developed. Another swimming alley, which used to be Oucheng Road, is now a gathering area for sporting goods, and there is no need for development.

But the longest Jiaolong Road, the alley is narrow, there are many households, and it is also through the alley is Xinhe Street, the current seat of the municipal government, even if the municipal government moves in the future, at least it is the district government station, Jiaolong Lane is equivalent to the center of the city center.

Auntie, if you think about it, such a piece of land, the geographical location is poor, the land price is expensive, and the government will not be able to do anything to carry out demolition and relocation in the future, and it will not be able to afford this money at all. As for the businessman, it is not cost-effective to rent a house here, so in the end it can only be used by the residents of this alley. What kind of business do you think these people can do? If they die, they are selling Malatang! Such a transportation artery, but the economy cannot be developed, which is equivalent to wasting resources in vain. But if there was a stable industry market to drive this place, wouldn't the situation be different?"

Hu Jianhui was a little confused when she heard this, thought about it, and hurriedly said: "Miao Miao, you wait for your aunt, aunt will go downstairs and get paper and pen to come over......"

"Let's talk as we go. Lin Miao jumped down from the chair, "After talking for a long time, my mouth is dry, and I will go down to drink tea." ”

"Auntie, buy you a bottle of soda. ”

"No, carbonated drinks hurt my teeth, I want coconut water. ”

Lin Miao swaggered out of the cafeteria, and Hu Jianhui followed behind Lin Miao.

She was obviously a little lame by Lin Miao, and even forgot all about the little thing that the master told her to close the door......
