Chapter 1 Do you want to change the status quo?
The sky is cloudless, and the sun's rays glow with colorful halos, and the layers of surrounding and shining straight down, are beautiful. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The sun outside is very hot, and the heat hits the whole body, and it is completely different from the air-conditioned commercial buildings on the street.
A pair of beautiful legs dangling in front of the eyes, in the bustling commercial street is like a beautiful scenery, many fashionable and avant-garde beauties walk on the street, in and out of the mall or specialty store, different styles of open clothes and beautiful legs, so that the livestock are dizzying, lingering.
At the corner of the pedestrian street, where the green shade is dense, it is also a place with a dense flow of people, many people are tired of shopping, and they will go there to rest for a while and drink some cold drinks.
As a result, the cold drink stalls there are thriving, with young men and women sitting near each stall, chatting or playing with their mobile phones, to name a few.
In the westernmost corner of these cold drink stalls, there are few people to sit there, and it is a little empty.
Young men and women would rather crowd with others at other popular stalls nearby than sit there to enjoy the coolness, despite the beautiful scenery and the cool and windy scenery.
But none of this can change a fact.
It's that location is very close to the garbage can, and the stench of rotten garbage is disgusting, just ask those who come to enjoy the coolness, who else would want to sit there.
The stall was not frequented by many customers, and perhaps it had something to do with a dirty, foul-smelling homeless man lying in front of the garbage can near the stall.
In front of the cold drink stall that no one patronized, a teenager was sitting at this time.
The boy didn't mind the dirty and smelly homeless man, nor did he care about the foul-smelling garbage can, he just held an old book and read it quietly.
Perhaps the combination of teenagers and homeless people near the trash cans, as well as cold drink stalls that no one cares about, will also attract the curiosity of the few customers in the other stalls.
With a flat head and short hair, he is an ordinary young man who is full of vitality, but his eyes are bright, and he always reads with a kind of fantasy and fascination.
The boy was attentive and serious in his reading, and even the homeless man lying in front of the garbage can kept an eye on him, and he didn't notice that anyone was looking.
The teenager's name is Tu Xiaoxun, 17 years old this year, and after recently finishing the college entrance examination, he began to help the family do some chores and look at cold drink stalls every day.
In fact, in addition to painting, Tu Xiaoxun usually likes to read books, reading everything, and the book he reads in his hand is not a literary classic, but an old picture album that was torn up next to the trash can when he set up a stall in the morning.
Although the content in the album is clichΓ©, if you want to pass the time, Tu Xiaoxun is still very focused.
Crunch!
Just then, a rickshaw stopped in front of the cold drink stand.
A thin middle-aged woman wearing a plain short-sleeved shirt, plaid trousers, a cool hat, black sunglasses, and a mask covered her nose got out of the car.
After Tu Xiaoxun was alarmed, he immediately closed the album and got up, walked forward quickly, and said, "Mom, you are tired of buying goods, let's take a break, I'll move the things!" β
As he spoke, Tu Xiaoxun took the initiative to remove boxes of drinks from the tricycle and put them in the freezer to freeze them.
Mother Zhang Fen took out a few items of each brand of drink, yogurt, and ice cream and put them in the warming cabinet for customers to choose to buy.
After busy tidying up the stall, Tu Xiaoxun didn't look at the album again, he took out an oversized black plastic bag from the tricycle, and then walked up to the homeless man and said, "Uncle, it's time to start!" β
Uncle Tramp's dirty face was smiling, revealing a row of white and flawless teeth, and after Ma Li got up, he took the initiative to open the trash can, which was not too dirty and smelly, and helped to put the garbage into a plastic bag.
Tu Xiaoxun, who was holding his pocket, was about to be stunned by the rotten stench.
He held his breath and blushed, until the homeless uncle put all the garbage in the trash can into a plastic bag and tied it tightly with a rope, and then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
After taking a few breaths of fresh air, Tu Xiaoxun carried the big bag of garbage onto the tricycle, and then took a small bag of deodorant powder from the tricycle and sprinkled it into the trash can.
Because the stall has a good scenery and is cool and windy, the air quality will be completely new when the foul-smelling garbage is resolved.
Soon there were tired customers on the pedestrian street frequenting, and after a while, it was overcrowded, and the business of Tu Xiaoxun's stall began to boom, which was completely different from the previous stinky and unpatronized scene.
Although the owners of other stalls are envious of the beautiful and cool location occupied by Tu Xiaoxun's family, because there are garbage cans there, it takes time and money to clean up and take out the garbage every day.
Those lazy and dirty people are unwilling to do these garbage things, and they are not willing to spend a small amount of money to buy deodorant powder, so naturally Tu Xiaoxun's business is the latecomer, and they sell a lot more drinks than others in a day.
Her own business got better, and her mother Zhang Fen had free time, so she said to Tu Xiaoxun, who was helping to greet guests: "Tu Tu, you don't need to be busy here, although you didn't do well in the college entrance examination, you only reached the third line, if you don't want to go to it, you can repeat it for a year next year, you can take some money to go to Yoko and play with them, and relax!" β
Tu Xiaoxun collected a guest's drink money and put it in the cash box, and after listening to his mother's words, he suddenly felt depressed and depressed.
"Mom, I'm going to take out the trash!"
I didn't pick up my mother's words, and I kicked hard, and the manpower three wheels moved.
The homeless uncle suddenly jumped on the tricycle, Tu Xiaoxun knew that the dumb uncle was going to help, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and left the pedestrian street on the tricycle.
It's just that on the road, the mood is inevitably a little depressed.
In fact, according to his usual academic performance in the top ten in the class, not to mention the key points of the exam, there is no problem in getting a better one, both his family and the homeroom teacher are very optimistic about him.
It's just that Tu Xiaoxun didn't expect that on the day of the college entrance examination, there was a thundershower, and Tu Xiaoxun was drenched in rain on the way to the exam.
As a result, after a few days of college entrance examination, Tu Xiaoxun's results were very bad except for Chinese.
Compared with the score line of previous years, his score this year has just reached the three main line, once there is any change this year, I am afraid he will not even be able to go to the three colleges.
In this way, he failed the expectations of his family and teachers, which made Tu Xiaoxun's mood inevitably a little depressed.
Especially at home, Tu Xiaoxun's economic conditions are not good, his father is a temporary worker in a factory, his mother was also laid off in the early years, and he has been setting up a stall on the street, and there is a grandfather in his seventies who is often sick and hospitalized to support, and the cost is very huge, so life has been tight.
Originally, Tu Xiaoxun planned that if he was admitted to the first year, in addition to the tuition fee of the first year, he would find a way to work part-time in college for a few years, and he didn't want to add a burden to his family.
But now, the college entrance examination is abnormal, barely reaching the score of the three main lines, although the parents will not say anything, and they also know that it is because of the cold and fever that affects the performance, but Tu Xiaoxun can't get over that hurdle in his heart.
With poor grades, he would rather drop out of school to work than repeat his studies and add a heavier burden to his family.
Rickshaws drive down the streets, and when they stop at traffic lights, they line up with some luxury cars, attracting a lot of disdainful glances.
Tu Xiaoxun ignored these.
The colorful halo of the sun is very beautiful, Tu Xiaoxun squinted a few times, and his mood was slightly soothed.
The gloom and depression of the past few days were instantly swept away under the light of that beautiful halo, which made people feel a sense of relief from the cage.
Although his grades are not good, there is no hope for a better university, and Pheasant University does not want to waste time, nor does he want to repeat his studies to add burden to his family, but the moment he walked out of the haze, the high blood and fighting spirit of his youth seemed to be back.
"I won't give in!"
The boy clenched his fists and roared in the vast crowded street, attracting the attention of many people.
But those people of all kinds only glanced at it slightly, and ignored it, and the young man was quickly drowned in the crowd without making any waves.
"Do you want to change the status quo?"
Suddenly, a mysterious voice came into Tu Xiaoxun's heart.
"Who?"
Tu Xiaoxun turned his head to look around, and no one in the busy crowd nearby talked to him, and the homeless uncle was a dumb bar and couldn't speak at all.
Thinking it was an auditory hallucination, Tu Xiaoxun ignored it.
Walking through the middle of nowhere, the mysterious voice came again: "Do you want to change the status quo?" β
The voice came from his ears, extremely clear, as if the bell was ringing, but Tu Xiaoxun looked around at the cold streets, where were people.
A gust of cold wind struck, and Tu Xiaoxun couldn't help but shiver.
However, when he turned his head again, he found that the homeless uncle was gone, and he couldn't help but tremble: "Uncle, where are you, let's not make trouble?" β
"Do you want to change the status quo?"
In the remote and deserted streets, that mysterious voice has been filling Tu Xiaoxun's mind, making him feel cold in his heart.
Almost every few dozen meters, that hair-raising voice would come on time.
"Is there a ghost?"
Thinking like this, Tu Xiaoxun only felt chills all over his body, and he hurried away.
But in this broad daylight, scorching sun, even though the street and alley were relatively deserted, Tu Xiaoxun thought that he often passed by here and had never encountered any supernatural incidents.
Thump!
Ran was so stunned in a hurry, the three wheels knocked on a stone and overturned, Tu Xiaoxun fell into the nearby nursery meadow, dizzy for a while.
The arm was scratched, and a hot pain made Tu Xiaoxun inhale.
"Do you want to change the status quo?"
At this time, the nasty voice came again.
The depression of the past few days made Tu Xiaoxun finally break out, and his anger surged, shouting: "It's noisy, of course Lao Tzu wants to change the status quo, don't bother anymore...... Belch...... I ......"
Before he finished venting his angry words, Tu Xiaoxun suddenly looked up and saw a bookstore in front of him.
This antique bookstore with a decoration feels very strange, the plaque at the front door does not recognize the three ancient seal characters, and the door is open and the bookshelves are filled inside.
A little girl with a bun and a small red belly pocket, looking pink and cute, stood at the door, looking at him with round, shiny, innocent and immaculate eyes.
In Tu Xiaoxun's memory, there are no shops in this place at all, when did this bookstore open?
"Do you want to read a book?"
The little girl's voice was as crisp and beautiful as a lark, and it seemed to carry a kind of magic, which dispelled the fear in Tu Xiaoxun's heart at once.
Tu Xiaoxun was a little curious, and the ghost sent him into the bookstore.
The space of this bookstore is a bit cramped, and it is full of bookshelves, and the middle aisle can only be passed by one person.
There weren't any books on the shelves, they were all made up of small drawer lattices, and the books were supposed to be placed in those small drawers.
In addition, there was no one in the bookstore except the little girl.
Tu Xiaoxun felt strange, so he asked the little girl: "Little sister, your family is not there, why is there no book classification label on this shelf, what books are they?" β
The little girl's crisp voice said, "I don't know what books they are, you can open the drawer that suits you by feeling and you can see it!" β
"What do you mean, I don't understand?"
Tu Xiaoxun was a little puzzled, seeing the innocent eyes of his little sister, he was embarrassed to ask more, so he reached out and grabbed the pull tab of a small drawer at will.
I just pulled it down, and the drawer didn't move at all.
I changed it and pulled it again, but it still couldn't be opened, as if it was locked.
After trying several times, he couldn't pull it, Tu Xiaoxun was puzzled: "Little sister, why can't you pull it open?" β
The little girl said crisply: "I said, only open it by feeling that it suits you!" β
"What the hell, whether it's suitable or not depends on feeling?"
Tu Xiaoxun thought about it and thought that it might be that the little girl's family was not there, and she was playing a prank game with herself.
This little girl is so cute, so cute, Tu Xiaoxun can't even have any funny thoughts about her, and can't help but smile.
decided not to expose her, Tu Xiaoxun didn't try them one by one, just walked a few steps along the aisle of the bookshelf and turned back, before saying: "Little sister, I don't seem to feel it, since your adult is not here, I'll come back another day when I'm free!" β
"Are you sure you're leaving now?"
The little girl suddenly spoke in the tone of a little adult, but she was still cute.
It's just that Tu Xiaoxun couldn't help but be stunned after seeing a little disappointment in his little sister's round and cute eyes.
He only felt that such a cute little sister, her family was not in the store and no one accompanied her, and she was finally in a hurry to leave by herself, and she must be very disappointed if she didn't play with her.
I can't bear it, and I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, so let's play a game with her.
Tu Xiaoxun smiled with a sunny boy: "Hey, the little game hasn't been cleared yet, how can I go, but you have to tell me the rules of the game, there are so many bookshelves and countless small drawers, I can't find them one by one, or let's play hide and seek?" β
The little sister pouted: "Don't play hide and seek, I want you to find books, the rule is by feeling!" β
"Well, you win!"
Tu Xiaoxun couldn't bear to bully Xiaomengwa, so he had to follow other people's rules.
In fact, he was also very curious, this strange bookstore opened in such a remote place, and actually let customers open the drawers to find books by themselves, no wonder it was so deserted and there was no business, it was really a bit strange.
But I didn't think much about it, since it's a small game, let's follow the rules, well, just by feeling.
After calming down, Tu Xiaoxun changed a row of bookshelves, and when he passed by the passage, his eyes swept over the small drawers one by one, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at the little cute baby.
Under the eyes of Xiao Mengwa with encouragement and expectation, Tu Xiaoxun suddenly stopped when he turned around several rows of bookshelves in a row and came to the innermost row.
He noticed that one of the small drawers in the back row was not fully closed, slightly ajar, and walked over quickly and pulled it.
There was a soft 'squeak' and the little drawer was opened.
But what made people dumbfounded was that there were no books in the small drawer at all, only a thin layer of cicada-like wings on the bottom plate, on which were painted with images of human figures.
It's just that the more Tu Xiaoxun looks at the image of the character, the more strange he feels, and he is a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.
He was about to pick up the silk veil to take a closer look at the portrait, when suddenly a sloppy beggar-like image appeared in Tu Xiaoxun's mind, which couldn't help but surprise him.
He suddenly remembered the homeless uncle who usually had a hard time feeling of existence, but he had just disappeared without a trace.
Syllable!
Suddenly, the small drawer closed automatically, which also alarmed Tu Xiaoxun, who was stretched out in the air.
It felt like a pat on the back shoulder.
Tu Xiaoxun was thinking about these strange things, and couldn't help waving his hand, and said, "Little sister, don't make trouble, I'm looking for it!" β
However, suddenly his head was slapped again, Tu Xiaoxun turned around, but saw that there was nothing behind him, and when he looked up, he suddenly found that the person standing at the door had become a homeless uncle, and the little girl was gone.
Thinking that he was hallucinating, Tu Xiaoxun rubbed his eyes and looked at him again, and the little cute baby was still standing there looking at him with expectant eyes.
But when he blinked again, the little cute baby was gone, and Uncle Tramp appeared again.
What's the situation?
Tu Xiaoxun feels that he may have encountered a supernatural event today, so aren't the little cute baby and the homeless uncle human?
Thinking like this, a chill suddenly welled up in his heart, Tu Xiaoxun took a few steps back in a daze, but suddenly hit the bookshelf.
When he fell, Tu Xiaoxun casually reached out and grabbed a pull ring in a panic, so he didn't let himself fall with the help of force.
Chirping!
However, inadvertently, Tu Xiaoxun opened a small drawer.
When the small drawer was opened, a colorful halo shot out like a rainbow from the drawer and shrouded Tu Xiaoxun's body.
Immediately after, a strange thing slowly floated out of the small drawer and swayed in front of Tu Xiaoxun.
Tu Xiaoxun was dumbfounded.
