Chapter 4: Quarrels
"This is for fortune, this is for the town house, and this one for safety, I want it." Wang Huan looked at the little star, and tapped the keyboard excitedly, as if she had found Alibaba's treasure, but the spell she entered was not four words but three words. It's just that I doubt that the number of her "spells" will allow her to empty the "treasure".
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at me pitifully, "Xiaoshan, can you lend me some money?" ”
"Not good." I didn't even think about replying.
"Good mountain, just lend me a little, just a little good, okay." Wang Huan's voice became weird, with a small face up, half open apricot eyes, and slightly open lips.
"Not good. You haven't paid back the money you borrowed last time. ”
"Zhao Qishan, don't forget, what did you do the day before yesterday, the old lady saw it, if I tell the boss, hum." Her face suddenly changed, and it seemed that she was going to rob it if she was too soft.
"I'm an administrator, and it's my job to get the machine running."
"This also includes the possibility of having the machine shut down at any time to take the customer's position for your own personal use?" Wang Huan was-for-tat.
"I'm just working and can't prove that the crash has anything to do with me."
"I have surveillance, and I'm still a witness."
"It doesn't mean much," I shrugged and smiled, "and you can only see that I'm working, and the surveillance is within my range of repairs." ”
"You, you," Wang Huan gritted his teeth, and then put on a pitiful and touching appearance, and said in a strange voice, "Xiaoshan, since I first saw you." I was attracted by your emaciated back and indifferent expression, you, let me be your girlfriend, okay? It's not good. ”
I hurriedly ran away from the bar, "You forgot again, 'And that embarrassing scumbag.'" ”
Aunt Liu, the cleaner, stopped moving, looked at us strangely, and whispered to me, "She asked you to borrow money again?" ”
I nodded.
"What to buy this time?"
"Fu, exorcism, avoiding evil, keeping peace, as before, I don't know what to do with anything."
"Does Xiao Wang Huan want to buy a charm?" Aunt Liu looked at her and asked.
Wang Huan pouted and said pitifully, "Yes, Aunt Liu, it's all this heartless guy, he asked me to see these charms, but he didn't buy them for me, do you say that there is a boyfriend who does this?" ”
I""
Aunt Liu smiled, she had long been accustomed to her set of words, "Charms are not bought blindly. ”
"I didn't buy it blindly, the purpose is very clear."
"Do you know how the spell is made? At a specific time, choose a specific cinnabar, bathe, change clothes, burn incense, pray, and then you can paint, and when you paint, you must draw the whole picture without exhaling it, and then you have to open the light, so as to ensure its effectiveness. ”
"Connoisseur," I exclaimed.
"Aunt Liu, are you saying that these I bought are useless?" Wang Huan said in surprise.
"At least there's no guarantee of its quality."
"Aunt Liu is very good at studying spells, so does it really work?" I asked my questions.
"There is no research, there are several people in my hometown village who can draw talismans, and the countryside at that time was not as good as it is now, and many families paid tribute to the Baojia Immortals."
"Do spells really work?" I continued.
Aunt Liu smiled, "I'd rather believe it than believe it, who knows when it will save your life." ”
I frowned in contemplation, not daring to assert for a moment.
"Do I buy these talismans or not?" Wang Huan also looked pensive.
As the afternoon approached, the number of customers in the Internet café gradually increased, Wang Huan was no longer entangled in the question of whether to buy charms, Aunt Liu was taking a nap in the storage room, and I was smoking by the window in a dead corner. This dead end is very safe, customers can rarely notice it, and when you open the window, there will be no smell of smoke that annoys Wang Huan. When I first came to work here, I was puzzled by the unreasonable design of the dead end, until I saw my boss smoking here.
My boss's surname is Li, we all call him Brother Li, and we all call him Li Fatzi behind our backs. He was in his thirties, not tall but very fat, and whenever he dragged his two-hundred-pound body up to the third floor, I was worried about whether I would call an ambulance for him the next moment. He was one of the first people in the city to open an Internet café, and at that time he and his wife were the only two people who were taking care of the business, and the scale was not very large. Later, as the business got better and better, he opened this Internet café, but the relationship between him and his wife became worse and worse, to be precise, it should be his ex-wife. Later, he divorced her wife and found a woman who was almost ten years younger than him. After that, he rarely came to the Internet café, and only collected the day's account after 10 o'clock every night. Regarding what happened to Li Fatzi, Aunt Liu said that when a man is rich, he becomes bad. Wang Huan said that his ex-wife should empty his pockets. When they asked me for my opinion, I said that they had miscalculated the critical point of bearing on both sides in the face of increasing pressure, and that the situation had gone out of control because of impatience and impulsiveness, and that it was perhaps nothing more than an inconspicuous incident, misled by their increasingly anxious emotions, and finally irreconcilable, and perhaps they were regretting their decision. Aunt Liu was at a loss after hearing this, and Wang Huan looked disdainful.
I snuffed out my cigarette butt and walked to the water dispenser at the bar. Suddenly, a quarrel broke out at the machine in the front row, Wang Huan looked away from the computer and looked at the quarrel, and I took a glass of water and looked there. The reason for the quarrel seems to be that a yellow-haired boy accidentally touched off the clothes of a flat-headed guy on a chair, and the little flat-haired man was very angry and his words were a little excessive, and the yellow-haired boy was not good at stubble, and he also dragged it very much.
"You're going to say no, you knocked off my clothes, and you think it's over if you leave quietly?" ”
Huang Mao: "If you touch it, you can touch it, isn't it just a piece of clothing?" What do you drag. ”
Pingtou pouted and shouted, "Oh, it seems that you really don't know who your brother is?" If you don't wash my brother's clothes today, this matter is not over. ”
Huang Mao was not to be outdone, and said, "Who do I care who you are?" Laundry, no door, what do you like. ”
Wang Huan whispered to me, "Xiaoshan, do you want to go over and take a look, don't let them fight." ”
I shook my head, "I can't go over now, once it's over, they can really fight, don't you see that the people next to them ignore them." ”
"Oh," Wang Huan nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't even make a noise, you have the ability to go outside." Suddenly, a fat, glasses-wearing guy yelled.
"It's not good." I said secretly.
"You count that onion?" Pingtou shouted.
"How old are you?" Huang Mao said disdainfully.
"Damn, you said that brother counts the green onion, you say brother counts the oldest, let's go outside and practice." The man in glasses turned and walked towards the stairs.
"Just go."
"Practice is practice."
Yellow hair and small flat head also followed.
I watched with some nervousness as they disappeared from the stairs before letting out a sigh of relief.
Wang Huan was also a little nervous: "You don't want to go out and have a look?" ”
"It's the best sneak attack spot at the top of the stairs just now, and it's likely that you won't be able to fight there if you don't fight."
"Oh, I thought they could really fight, it should be exciting to watch." Wang Huan seemed a little disappointed.
"Neither in the thrill nor in a fight for you, what do you expect?"
"Che, did you think they would fight?"
"It's very likely that it won't be able to fight, and it's very likely that it will be fought."
"Then you go out and see if they are fighting?"
"The appearance of the man with glasses has exacerbated the problem, and if I show up again, they may really fight for face." I looked out the window, took a sip of water, and said to myself, "If I don't go, I can't be sure if they fight, maybe they do, maybe they don't, or both." If there is a condition that if I go out will cause them to fight, then how can we confirm the situation outside? I shook my head slightly, "Maybe that's the fun, the value." ”
