【04】Free lunch
The sun gradually rose to the zenith, and Ah Yan walked aimlessly on the seaside road, sweat constantly sliding down her face. I don't know how long I walked for www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion, a fishy smell suddenly entered her nose, she stopped to look at the scene in front of her, and was motionless and stunned.
Below a slope was a large fish farm, and the wooden house next to it had been burned to ashes. She recalled the way she leaned on Li Chengen's back and watched him sweat, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. After a while, when the smile was gone, she sighed softly and continued to walk forward.
Walking all the way, he took Ah Yan with his feet past familiar places: the place where he recognized his identity for the first time that day, and the place of the motorcycle team; There is also the place near Hongkan Wharf, where he was ferocious and killed 12 men in black; In the end, she unconsciously walked to the door of the Forgotten Corner Branch, where she met him for the first time. Revisiting the old place, Ah Yan will stand in a daze for a while in every place, or look at the white clouds, or look at the sea, quietly motionless.
After standing at the door of the police station for a while as usual, Ah Yan reluctantly left. At this time, the number of people began to increase in the streets, and the streets gradually became wider—they had come to the bustling area of Forgotten Corner. She began to feel tired, her legs began to ache and weigh like lead, and she felt hungry in her belly. And it's no wonder: she's come so far, and she hasn't even drunk a sip of water, let alone eaten, from last night to now.
Ah Yan looked at the KFC on the street, depicting the taste of chicken burgers and cola in her mind, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, but when she reached out and took it out of her pocket, there was only a dozen yuan of coins rattling, just enough to buy a cup of Coke, in her current state, she must have opened the lid, dropped the straw, took two or three bites, and then burped and it was over.
"I don't want to eat! I'm not hungry! I don't want to eat! I'm not hungry! Ah Yan muttered in a low voice, and was about to turn around and leave, when a waiter in the KFC shop looked at the door for a while, and then walked straight to Ah Yan: "Excuse me, are you Miss Ah Yan?" ”
"Yes! - Oh no! Ah Yan replied in surprise, "You...... Who are you and how do you know me? ”
"Huh!" The waiter was amused by Ah Yan's words, "I don't know you, someone wants to invite you to dinner, and he asked me to invite you in." ”
"Someone invited me to dinner?" Yan was incredulous, "Who? ”
"I don't know," said the waiter, "I think he might be your grandfather, just go in and see." This way, please! ”
"My grandfather!?" Ah Yan became more and more surprised in her heart, and her strong curiosity made her involuntarily follow the waiter into the door of KFC.
"What about people? Where is it? Yan asked as he looked around.
"Huh? I was still here. The waiter also looked around, "You wait a minute, I'll help you ask." ”
The waitress arranged for Ah Yan to sit in a seat, and a plate with two spicy chicken wings, a roast leg burger, six Portuguese egg tarts, a salad and a large glass of Coke was already on the table in front of her. Although Ah Yan was hungry and thirsty, he didn't dare to enjoy these things easily. When he was hesitating, the waiter who had led the way just now came over.
"Miss Yan, my colleague said that the gentleman just paid for you and just left." The waiter said.
"Gone?" Yan asked, "What does he look like?" ”
He ...... Wearing a blue-gray fabric top, a hood and a mask, I can't see clearly......" The waiter said as he recalled, "Blue slacks ......"
"Wait!" Ah Yan interrupted him and said, "Didn't you say he was my grandfather?" Do you know my grandfather? ”
"That's just my guess," said the waiter, "maybe I guessed wrong, I saw that he was wearing a hat and a mask, and I guessed that the old man was afraid of the wind, and I heard that his voice was a little low, and his eyebrows seemed to be white...... Oh, maybe I was wrong - he was wearing a coat and hat, and I just glanced at him. ”
"Elderly?" Yan looked around, then lowered his head to look at the food. "Is it really grandpa? Impossible! She thought to herself, when her stomach suddenly rumbled.
"No matter, no matter! No matter who you are, if you want to help me or harm me, I don't care! I, Ah Yan, don't care about anything from now on! ”
"Gave me money, huh?" Ah Yan raised his head and said to the waiter.
The waiter smiled and nodded. Then I saw Ah Yan gobbling up like a starving ghost.
"Uh~" The gas in the cola came out of the full stomach, and Ah Yan hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and looked around. Immediately, I felt that I was too hypocritical to do this, didn't I care about anything, and what kind of lady image did I maintain, besides, look at my clothes, old and ugly, living like a village girl, what kind of lady. Thinking of this, she simply burped hard, and the people around her were so shocked that they all looked up at her. Ah Yan ignored everyone's gaze, shouted to the waiter to pack her unfinished egg tart, and then twisted the egg tart and swaggered out of the KFC. It wasn't until she walked out of the door that she looked inside the door with a little humility. After all, this is the first time to act recklessly in public, and I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
The feeling of a full stomach made Ah Yan feel refreshed, but her legs were still sore, she saw a street park from a distance, and immediately walked over, only to see that the park benches were already full of people, and only one chair was a little vacant. When he got closer, Ah Yan realized the reason why there was a vacant seat on this chair.
I saw a homeless man with dirty and torn clothes lying upright on a bench, covered with a few newspapers. Ah Yan walked two meters away from the bench and smelled a sour smell on the homeless man's body, and couldn't help frowning. At this moment, the homeless man was basking in the sun comfortably, listening to a broken radio that he had picked up from an unknown garbage heap next to his head, shaking his big toes sticking out of front of his torn leather shoes, and a leisurely expression on his face, which made people think that he was the happiest person in the world.
Ah Yan looked at the expression on the homeless man's face, and suddenly began to envy, now he is also a homeless wanderer, but others live so chicly, but his heart is full of sad memories. Thinking of this, Ah Yan decided to learn from this happy homeless man, so she endured the unpleasant sour smell, walked up to the homeless man and said, "Hey, man, borrow a place." ”
The homeless man's eyes opened a slit, and he looked up and down a lot of Ah Yan: "Divide the things in my hand with me." ”
Ah Yan looked at the egg tart in his hand, reached out and took out one, thought about it and put it back again, and then handed over the whole bag: "It's all for you." ”
The homeless man's face was happy, and he immediately turned over from the chair: "You come to lie down, you come to lie down, the chairs are all for you!" As he spoke, he hurriedly took the bag and wiped the bench a few more times with the newspaper.
Ah Yan put down her backpack and followed the example of a homeless man, lying on her back on the bench, the sun shining on her face through the treetops in the park, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes. I have to say that this homeless man is very good at choosing a place, lying on this chair can not only bask in the sun but also enjoy the shade, his sore legs are immediately liberated, and his whole body is refreshed. But her heart is still heavy and cold and sour, so she can't be so chic and leisurely.
Ah Yan turned his head to look at the homeless man, and saw that he was tasting the Portuguese egg tart, and every bite he took was a pleasant admiration, as if he was eating the most delicious thing in the world.
"Hey!" Ah Yan said to the homeless man: "I see that you are lying so comfortably and relaxed just now, why do I still feel very tired?" ”
The homeless man had a mouth full of food, looked at Ah Yan strangely while chewing, and then patted his head with a sudden realization, and said indistinctly while picking up the tattered radio and putting it in Ah Yan's ear: "Listen to this, sleep while listening, this is comfortable." ”
There was a faint radio sound on the radio, as if it was a news broadcast, but the signal was very poor, mixed with noisy current interference, Ah Yan had to concentrate on listening: "...... The strangest thing is that the young man who reported the crime, who was also a burglar, claimed that he was wandering around the Forgotten Point Hospital, that he heard an explosion, and then took advantage of the excitement to break into the house while people were out to see the excitement. When he was stealing from a third household, he touched the man who attacked him, and at first he thought he had run into the head of the household, so he threatened him with a knife. Unexpectedly, during the fight, the other party broke his arm, and then took his clothes and all the money he stole and fled. According to the informant, he did not see the appearance of the person who attacked him at the time, but he noticed that the man had white hair and a hoarse voice, and he was supposed to be an elderly man......"
"Hehe, the little thief meets the old robber!" Ah Yan focused his attention on his ears, and gradually forgot about his sadness, and his heart suddenly became much brighter. "Not bad!" Ah Yan said to the homeless man, "You thing is pretty good. ”
The homeless man wrapped food in his mouth and nodded happily.
"You don't even have anything to eat, why are you so happy?" Ah Yan asked the homeless man.
The homeless man swallowed the last bite of food, and while collecting the tart crumbs in his pocket and pouring them into his mouth, he said, "It's your own business to be unhappy, and it has nothing to do with what you eat." ”
"Your own business?" Ah Yan repeated the words of the homeless man, feeling as if he could understand something from them.
"Oh, don't think so much," said the homeless man, "eat when you can, sleep when you can, you see how nice the weather is now." With that, she yawned, and began to sleep on the grass, which was still wet due to the heavy rain last night, but the homeless man did not care at all.
Ah Yan raised her head to look at the spots of light shining in the sun's treetops, listening to the noise on the radio and the sound of people and cars around the park, the chaotic thoughts in her head seemed to be melted by the sun, and gradually turned into a pool of calm lake, she felt that her body was getting lighter and softer, as if soaking in a bathtub filled with warm water, the sounds around her gradually moved away, and her eyelids gradually began to heavily.
Yan's long eyelashes were swaying in front of her eyelids, and she finally closed her eyes slowly.
