Chapter 6 Chopping Meat
Early in the morning, a flock of pigeons circled the mountains a few times before landing on the eaves of the Cloud Viewing Temple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After seeing them, Xu Xing, who was sweeping the fallen leaves, went to the kitchen to grab a handful of millet and threw it on the ground, and then waved his hand at them: "Come here." Seeing this, the pigeons unceremoniously flew down from the eaves and pecked at the rice grains on the ground. Xu Xing took his eyes off them and looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, lost in thought. Seeing him like this, a snow-white pigeon jumped on his arm and made a "cooing" at him.
"Yun Ting," Xu Xing stroked its feathers, "don't worry, I'm fine." ”
"Freshly baked cakes, everyone comes to buy them, Du Ji baked cakes, word of mouth, only crispy in the mouth, not broken in the hand." As soon as Wu Xi was discharged from the hospital, she was attracted by a burst of shouting, she looked for prestige, and found a young man in his early twenties standing in front of the door of "Du Ji", who was shouting briskly while adding meat to the baked cakes and handing them to the people in line.
"Boss, your family finally invited a buddy?" Wu Xi joined the crowd in line and asked Boss Du, who was collecting money.
"Hey, it's not invited, your sister Liu's mental condition has not been very good since she came back, and I can't be busy at all, but fortunately, this young man is quite capable." As he spoke, he patted the young man next to him on the shoulder.
"It's the same," Wu Xi remembered Sister Liu's trance-like appearance when she delivered food last night, "Sister Liu, is she okay?" ”
"It's okay, you should be back after a while." Boss Du replied to her with a smile.
Wu Xi walked along the street while eating and burning, and when she reached the corner of the street, she saw a white stray dog looking for food in the garbage heap. "Poor little fellow, it's freezing and hungry." Wu Xi squatted down, threw the remaining half of the baked cake to it, and then got up and walked to the station.
Wu Xi stared at the computer screen stupidly for almost an hour, she obviously had a lot of tasks on her, but she couldn't type out a word.
"What do you think?" Ding Ding's hand shook in front of her eyes, "What happened to you and Director Cui?" It's been rare to see him hanging out with us lately. By the way, did you spend your birthday together yesterday? ”
Wu Xi looked at Ding Ding and said to her word by word: "No, I was alone yesterday, and I didn't even receive a phone call or text message of blessing." No, I can't say that, but many of the world's top 500 companies have sent me congratulatory messages, such as China Unicom and Bank ......of Communications."
"So Xixi, are you angry right now?" Tintin looked at her meaningfully, "You know what? The more angry you are, the more you care, and you have to be careful. Ding Ding squeezed his eyes at Wu Xi as if he was a passerby, and then rowed back to his workstation with a chair like a wheelchair.
"What nonsense? Am I angry? How so? It's obvious that Xu Xing is angry with me, okay, I just hate that he is so cautious and doesn't even answer the phone. Wu Xi muttered in his heart, but he had to pick up the phone again and look at it, and only after finding that there was still nothing, did he force himself to focus on his work.
After all the work was done, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Wu Xi took the last bus back to the station at the entrance of the community. It's December, the weather in the north is very cold, the cold wind blows on the face like a knife, and the big trees on the street are like bare brooms, trembling gently in the wind.
Wu Xi rubbed her hands together and trotted all the way in the direction of her home, seeing that she was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard, the revolution was about to win, and warmth and light were waiting for her not far away, but a voice beside her attracted her attention and made her slow down her pace.
"Tuk ...... The voice of the ...... came from "Du Ji," one after another, calm and amazingly powerful. Wu Xi turned her head and saw that under the dim light, Sister Liu was holding a meat cleaver and chopping something one by one, her face was expressionless, although her movements were slow but very skillful, as if all her energy was on the board in front of her. For some reason, Wu Xi was flustered when she heard this voice, she wanted to pull out her feet and leave, but her feet couldn't leave the ground half a step as if they were nailed, and she looked at the woman doing mechanical movements in the room without blinking.
"Boom." The knife made a strange sound as if it had slashed something, and a few drops of blood splashed on Sister Liu's face, she had to stop and pick up the towel, and was just about to wipe her face, but suddenly turned her head in the direction of Wu Xi.
Wu Xi was startled, those few drops of bright red blood looked shocking on Sister Liu's sluggish and pale face, and it made her look extremely weird.
"What are you looking at?" Her voice was flat, like a child who had just learned to speak, and couldn't fully control the sound of her tongue.
Wu Xi reluctantly pulled out a smile from the corner of his mouth, "I'm late from work, I want to see if there's anything else to eat?" It seems that you have closed the stall, so I ...... Let's go. ”
She avoided Sister Liu's gaze and quickened her pace into the unit building, but she slammed into a person who was about to go out.
"Liu Shi? How are you? ”
Liu Shi lifted her up from the ground, "Where did you go yesterday?" As soon as I came back, I found you gone. ”
"What?"
"I didn't expect you to drink so badly, a glass of fruit wine can make you sleep."
"But when I woke up, I found that you were all gone."
"They have something to do to go back to school first, so I went out to give them a ride, but I didn't expect to find you anywhere when I came back."
"I'm sorry," Wu Xi said apologetically, "I thought you were all gone...... That yard, though. ”
"What's wrong with that yard?"
"You still don't want to go in the future, ...... there" She wanted to say but stopped, but fortunately, Liu Shi was not prepared to continue the topic.
"This is for you, as a way to make up for it." He took out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, it was a bouquet of lilies, the petals were as white as mutton fat, shaped like ivory, white and flawless, crystal clear.
"It's beautiful." Wu Xi took it over, "You are too polite Liu Shi, I did something wrong that day, and I left without saying hello to you." However, this flower is really beautiful, so it is difficult to resist the hospitality, so I accepted it. ”
"It turns out that it is such a happy thing that the mind can be accepted by others." Liu Shi said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean? Has anyone ever turned down your kindness? ”
Liu Shi smiled lightly: "That person not only threw the flower I gave him to the ground, but also said a word to me." ”
"What did he say?"
"He said, if you come and pester me again, I will make your death ugly."
"Damn," Wu Xi applauded, "The degree of this poisonous tongue is almost as good as that of my roommate, this kind of person should stay away from him, and never get along with each other." ”
