Bai Ye slept for a full day, twenty-two hours to be exact, from five o'clock in the afternoon yesterday to three o'clock this afternoon.

What a good night's sleep!

Bai Ye stretched and was in good spirits.

"Where's my phone?"

Touching his pocket, the phone was gone, and then he found that the lollipop seemed to have been eaten by himself!

Smash it in your mouth, smash it, don't hold anything in your mouth, and I always feel a little unaccustomed.

I got up and looked, this is a bedroom, the tone is light blue, except for a bed, it is a table, simple and simple, and the air is mixed with a good smell of faint leisure, this is the woman's body fragrance.

Bai Ye knew, because the smell was familiar to him.

Downstairs, it was still the dimly lit bar.

Ye Jing was teasing Xiaobai over there, and her mood seemed to be good.

Could it be that the bar business is good?

White Night thought so.

The drinkers in the distance, as if they heard him coming downstairs, all glanced over at the same time.

There is jealousy, there is envy, there is sighing.

Lao Zhao patted Lao Xiao's shoulder and comforted.

"It's an afterthought. ”

Actually, no, they didn't do anything.

One fell asleep quietly, the other watched quietly, and there was someone next to him.

To be precise, it's a cat supervising.

"Sister Jing, where's my phone?"

Ye Jing smiled and pursed her mouth.

White Night's phone is right next to the counter, an old-fashioned Nokia.

turned on the caller ID, and sure enough, I saw the call log, which came at six o'clock last night.

The call from the convenience store owner, Brother Wang, was only answered.

"Sister Jing, did you answer the call for me?"

Ye Jing caressed Xiaobai and nodded, smiling even more!

Sighing helplessly, the white night passed.

Doodle!

"Hey!"

There was a ringing on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Wang, I'm really sorry, I was too tired and overslept yesterday, and there was someone on duty at the convenience store last night, right?"

"It's a white night, Xiao Qian was on duty for you last night, it's okay, you do work more night shifts these days, and I don't think of this level, no, I called yesterday, and I was scolded by your girlfriend!

"Girlfriend?"

Bai Ye muttered and looked at Ye Jing suspiciously.

She pretended not to see it, still teasing Xiaobai over there, still with a smile on her face.

"No, Brother Wang, you misunderstood, she is a friend of mine. ”

"Bai Ye, it's not me saying you, your girlfriend is good, she cares about you very much, you have to be kind to others, I have found someone else to be on duty in the past two days, you are also tired, rest for a few days, that's all." ”

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang..."

The other end hung up the phone.

Bai Ye was a little depressed, glanced at Ye Jing again, and sighed with Xiao Bai, who was extremely aggrieved by her.

"Sister Jing, I have something to go out. ”

"Where are you going?"

Convenience stores don't need to be on duty these two days, where can you go in the middle of the night?

"The lollipop is gone, I'm going to go to Jin Lao's trip, ask something by the way, and settle the salary again. ”

The night was quiet, but Xiaobai immediately turned over and jumped down, finally getting rid of her clutches.

Then he jumped lightly and jumped on the shoulders of the white night.

"Hey, come on!"

An umbrella was thrown in the air, not the one from Bai Ye, this one was blue, and it should be Sister Jing's own.

"It's still raining heavily. ”

Bai Ye nodded and opened the door to the bar.

It was only three o'clock, and the sky was a little dark.

The rain was indeed heavy, and Bai Ye frowned and headed to the nearest bus stop.

.....

The pace of the city is developing too fast, the pace of things is getting faster and faster, no matter what, people like the best, the latest, the old things are eliminated from generation to generation, drowning in the long river of years.

But there is such a shop in the city, called Nianjiu.

If you don't sell anything else, you sell old things.

But don't get me wrong, these old things don't refer to those antiques, just ordinary old things that no one wants.

It may be an early two-eight bar bicycle, or it may be the earliest toilet paper, and even the toilet may still be wooden.

Brush Lala.

The curtain made of blue cloth was opened, and a fresh fragrance came from it.

It stands to reason that a musty smell like this would make the most sense, but on the contrary, there is a fresh fragrance, not only the ink of the scroll, but also other smells.

Bai Ye has been here many times, and I don't know what this smell is, but now that I think about it, it may be the taste of history, or it may be the taste of nostalgia.

There is a table next to the curtain.

There was a person sitting inside, he was not Jin Lao, he was much younger than Jin Laoke.

With a pair of black-rimmed glasses, his white skin looks very gentle, and he heard Jin Lao say that this is his grandson - Jin Wen.

"It's your lollipop!"

Bai Ye didn't say anything, Jin Wen seemed to know why he came, and handed over a bag of lollipops.

"If you are looking for Jin Lao, go upstairs and turn right into the second room, don't walk around, the objects here are all old things, and they are very fragile!"

Bai Ye nodded, and walked through the counter where the miscellaneous goods were placed, cautiously.

He has persuaded Jin Lao countless times to sort out the things here, which is not only convenient for others to find what they want, but also convenient for later tidying.

Jin Lao always replied with a smile: "They have all chosen their own position, don't bother with it." ”

Jin Lao is such a strange person, he treats old things, and he likes to treat them like people.

Of course, when it comes to weirdness, White Nights aren't much better.

"I can finally hold something in my mouth. ”

Bai Ye unwrapped a lollipop bag and said with a chuckle.

Nian Old is an old shop, which has been open in the cracks of urban streets for a long time, and some people even say that L City has been around since it was not a city.

The wooden staircase, every step of the way, will make a squeaking sound that makes people's teeth ache, and Bai Ye is really afraid that one day if he is not careful, this staircase will collapse.

"Xiaobai is here?"

The voice sounds kind and makes people feel comfortable.

Xiao Bai, who was lying on his shoulder, raised his head, and Bai Ye smiled bitterly and stroked Xiao Bai's head.

"Jin Lao is not calling you, he is calling me. ”

There are many rooms on the second floor of the old house, and it is said that each room corresponds to a different time and space.

Of course, no one knows whether this rumor is true or not.

The second door on the right-hand side was opened, and Jin Lao sat there like that, full of gray hair, wearing a black T-shirt on the upper half of his body and colorful beach pants underneath, listening to him, this would make him look younger and catch up with the trend of the times.

But he didn't know.

The wrinkles on his face had already sworn that he was no longer young.

And his body is already the trend of the last era.

With a smile, Bai Ye sat opposite Jin Lao across the desk.

Everything in this room dates back to the eighties, and this is relatively new.

"Jin Lao, for the trend, you should really learn from your grandson. ”

"I'm old, I can't keep up with the times, he is destined to replace me, and no one can change it. ”

Bai Ye was silent, he may have said something that shouldn't be said, this topic is a bit heavy for Jin Lao.

"Don't do that, it's not a taboo, give, it's your reward. ”

What was handed over was a thick envelope, which was full of more than 10,000 yuan.

Bai Ye glanced at it and retreated.

"It's too much. ”

"Not much, it's a bit difficult for you to help me take care of those little demons and ghosts in the city, and I know that you will use more than half of this money on them. ”

Bai Ye nodded and did not refuse.

"Actually, you shouldn't live like this. ”

"No, this kind of life is good, at least I feel that my current self is full, and I am truly alive. ”

"Hey. ”

Sighing, Jin Lao wanted to pat Bai Ye's hand and comfort him, but when he put it in mid-air, he seemed to have something to worry about, and took it back again.

This change, Bai Ye saw in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Exhaled, Bai Ye's face was a little solemn.

"Jin Lao, there is something here, the little ones are very scared, hiding in people's homes, do you know something?"

Jin Lao waved his hand.

"There's another person who will come, and when the time comes, let's talk about it together. ”

“... It's good. ”
