Chapter 53: Customers
Li Feng is really speechless about some people's thinking, what about the people of Xiangshi, not still Chinese, they have returned to some chaotic thoughts, this can only be to find an unhappy rhythm, what do you rely on? Do you really think that the violent apparatus of the state can only be external? I didn't pay attention to you, I just didn't take you seriously, I really went online and took it in minutes, and it seems that at present, there are already big heads who have noticed this problem, and I don't know what to say when I don't know what to say, he only saw a praying mantis, holding his scythe and waving it to show his strength, and he was just facing the rolling wheels, what is there to be proud of Li Feng can't understand.
It took three full days for Li Feng to settle down, for which Li Feng had to stay in the hotel for two nights, spending nearly four hundred yuan, which made Li Feng feel a little distressed, and was even more irritable, just because although Li Feng had various documents, several local homeowners who could be contacted were not very relieved to rent the house to the mainland, Li Feng understood what they meant, and also understood their thoughts, it was nothing more than that the mainland boy came here to cause trouble, and he came to discredit the Xiangshi and was not a serious person. It was precisely because he understood that Li Feng was even more impatient, and finally found a small village in the mountainous area at the edge of Xiangshi and rented a small house.
The house is at the foot of Xiaoyu Mountain, the village is called Xiaoyu Village, the population is not large and underdeveloped, most of the people in the village are old people and children, young people rarely live here, they all go to the city to work hard, so they are usually very quiet, it is precisely because of this Li Feng paid the money happily, and this is much cheaper than staying in a hotel.
If you want to be quiet, Li Feng naturally won't rent to someone else's compound, there is a fund-raising building in the village, it is not high and it is an old building, east and west, Li Feng's rented place is on the easternmost first floor of the east house, this matter will be done in two days, but there is still trouble, Li Feng just sent away the intermediary Xiaoyu Village's community federation someone came to the door, the meaning is also very clear, Li Feng must have a valid reason and occupation to live here for a long time, otherwise it is an unstable factor, and they will never welcome unstable factors.
Li Feng thought about it all night, and the next day he had to go to the next city, and spent a dollar to register a company, which was actually a small pawn shop, and went home and found a tattered plywood by himself.
As for the location of the company's business, it is also easy to do, there is a small courtyard on the first floor, there is a very small house in the corner of the courtyard, the landlord was originally there to take out some cigarettes, alcohol and small commodities and other things, but now it is of course empty, except for a dilapidated counter under the small window to the outside, hang the sign out, pull a chair Li Feng to sit behind the counter, the people of the community association looked at it from a distance and stopped looking for trouble.
With such a posture, Li Feng naturally has no business, but it was originally a disguise, Li Feng didn't care about anything, and since then Li Feng has started an ascetic-like life, every day he either sleeps in a dark room or sits in a small black shop to meditate, no phone call Li Feng can not say a word for a few days, or even not eat a meal, in the silence Li Feng tried to enter his heart to examine himself thoroughly, Li Feng now of course knows that a piece of the world in his heart is also an abnormal performance, In the first few days, Li Feng didn't say that he could go in if he wanted to, but as his heart slowly quieted down until he was quiet, Li Feng slowly approached him and finally walked into the darkness.
Reaching out to the darkness of the five fingers, Li Feng's thoughts wandered in it, first of all, he wanted to know how big this inner world was, and the original pace was still very hurried towards a feeling direction, but after walking for a few days, Li Feng was not in a hurry, because there seemed to be no end here, and the anxious wise man who walked on a road without end was not for anything, but fortunately Li Feng felt that there seemed to be nothing else here except for himself, there were no monsters and no devils, which made Li Feng feel a little relieved, At least my heart is still pure, except for darkness ...... course.
In addition to self-examination and self-search, Li Feng is also concerned about his own tasks, going out for a walk every seven days, stuffing some junk food and replenishing water by the way after inquiring about news.
Li Feng's business ability is still good, and it is considered diligent to work once every seven days, so according to the newspaper news and the news he inquired, Li Feng quickly locked up a person named Chen Hansan, a local, mixed with the rivers and lakes, and in several noisy incidents, this person is an activist and organizer, a gangster who does not have much cultural knowledge and no overall situation, does not honestly grab land and collect protection fees to make money, but actively participates in political events, if there is no problem, it would be strange, After several secret visits, Li Feng confirmed that the financial owner behind this person is also a Chinese, but he is a Chinese American, and after finding the exact clues of this person, Li Feng will not care, and there will be more care, which belongs to the business scope of the Secret Bureau, although the Secret Service can also be external, but after all, it is not the main business, so a month after coming to Xiangshi, when Li Feng went to the reception office to receive a business trip subsidy, he sent back a monitoring report from the 43rd Department by the way, proving that he did not take the subsidy for nothing, and it was over. As for Director Ding, what to do with his own report, Li Feng can't care.
After receiving the subsidy and returning to the small black house, Li Feng continued to sit still, whether the secret service transferred himself back or continued to check on others and waited for news, Li Feng didn't care much about this, it didn't matter if he let him stay, let him go back, because if he went back, he would still be annoyed, but his mother seemed to be in a hurry, so he could do anything.
After weighing it slightly, Li Feng closed his eyes again and was ready to continue to examine himself, but Li Feng opened his eyes the next moment, because someone was coming.
After Li Feng came here, he had no communication with other people in the village, except for one or two dealings with intermediaries and one contact with the community, and this was really the first time that a local person took the initiative to come to his door.
After raising his head slightly, Li Feng's eyes crossed the dusty counter to the small window, and from here, he couldn't see anyone except for some garbage and weeds in the corner of the building compound, but Li Feng didn't think so, he already knew who was coming, and after leaning forward again, he finally saw the visitor, a little bit, completely overwhelmed and holding a very small rag doll standing under the window hesitating and uneasy.
This is the daughter of the family who lives upstairs in her house, and Li Feng naturally understands the situation around the place where she lives, of course, in secret, so Li Feng not only knows this little girl, but also knows that she is in the first grade of primary school, and also knows that her name is Xiaomei, but I really don't know what her surname is.
At this moment, Li Feng leaned forward and looked down, Xiaomei glanced upward, and then panicked, hurriedly lowered her head and hugged the little rag doll, looking like she wanted to leave but didn't want to go.
Capitalist Li Feng really doesn't have a good feeling, but excluding this child, the little girl is very well-behaved, never messing around, and she looks very cute in a small uniform, so Li Feng still greeted first: "Xiaomei, do you have anything to do here?" ”
Li Feng took the initiative to call her name to make the little girl feel better, and then stumbled in Mandarin: "I...... Very hungry, Mommy...... Not at home. ”
As she said this, the little girl's hands were a little reluctant, but she still hesitated to lift her rag doll upward.
Li Feng sighed in his heart, he knows a little bit about Xiaomei's family background, her family is local, her mother is also very beautiful, at least in the past, otherwise she would not have been able to give birth to such a lovely daughter, but Xiaomei's mother has never been married, she originally wanted to be a star, but she became an addict when she didn't become a star, Li Feng, who was originally a well-off family, didn't know when she fell, but he knew that now Xiaomei's family was a family with four walls, and her mother relied on the only remaining posture to do anything, and it was common not to go home for a few days. Just pity the kid.
Look at the rag doll again, it's a little white bear, but now it's gray and a little tattered, this may be one of the few toys that Xiaomei has long been outdated, and it may be her favorite, and now I don't know that Xiaomei hasn't eaten for a few days, so she has to take out her favorite things .......
Li Feng remembered that his sister used to have such a puppet when she was a child, but it was much better than this and was thrown into the trash by her sister a long time ago, and it seemed that she had to teach her sister a good lesson when she went back, thinking of this, Li Feng didn't think much about it, before Xiaomei was about to cry, Li Feng took the puppet and handed out twenty yuan, and after handing it over to Xiaomei's little hand, he also admonished: "There is a hot dog seller opposite the gate of the compound, ten yuan a gift with a glass of juice, and the remaining ten yuan you can keep for tomorrow, Remember to ask the boss for the juice that comes with it, otherwise he won't give it. ”
Xiaomei suddenly put away her teary eyes, and reluctantly looked at the little bear puppet that was taken away by Li Feng, but in the end she hurriedly lowered her little head and thanked Li Feng for the deal she reached and walked towards the courtyard gate. Is it a little boring to be entangled in your own weirdness and indifferent to the people and things around you?
I thought so, but Li Feng was still stubbornly immersed in his inner world.
Three days later, Li Feng had an extra text message on his internal mobile phone, just two words: standby.
Li Feng was noncommittal, and when he deleted the text message and wanted to continue in a daze, he opened his eyes again, just listening to the footsteps, he knew that his second business was coming.
This time Xiaomei didn't look too nervous and hesitant, this time she brought a plastic flower, the petals and green leaves were mutilated, Li Feng smiled and still gave Xiaomei twenty yuan, and when Xiaomei was about to leave, Li Feng thought about it and stopped her and asked, "Hasn't Mom come back yet?" ”
Xiaomei lowered her head, held the banknote in both hands and whispered, "No, it's been a week." ”
"Didn't you call your mom?"
"The teacher at the school called, but no one answered."
Li Feng wanted to say something but didn't say anything in the end, after all, this is someone else's daughter, and she still has some scruples, Xiaomei waited for a while and saw that Li Feng didn't speak and turned around and left silently.
The third time Xiaomei brought a small box of broken building blocks, Li Feng couldn't help it: "Mom hasn't come back yet?" ”
"Yes."
"You...... In the future, you can come to eat at my place before and after school, and you don't have to exchange things for money to eat. ”
"That's not good, I can't take other people's money for nothing, and I can't eat other people's troublesome people for nothing."
Seeing Xiaomei rubbing the corners of her clothes with her head down, Li Feng had no choice but to be silent again.
Fortunately, Xiaomei's mother finally came back that night, and she came back with a swaying body of alcohol, Li Feng glanced at the woman who was gradually withering and closed the small window casually.
Li Feng always thought that this woman should leave some money for Xiaomei when she came back this time, even if it was not much, some odds were enough for Xiaomei to eat a few meals, and she always felt uncomfortable, but Li Feng obviously didn't know what an addict was like, and the next day he ran into Xiaomei again, this time Xiaomei really cried, saying that her mother went crazy last night and beat her, and there was no shadow in the morning and I didn't know where I went, and today the school asked me to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees, and if I didn't pay, the school wouldn't let her go to school, As she said this, Xiaomei held up a glass ball with cracks on the surface, and there were white snowflakes floating in it, and in the snowflakes was a small house, faintly with warm lights coming through, which was probably Xiaomei's treasure, and it was also the ...... she longed for in her heart.
Li Feng's heartstrings were still touched in the end, a hand stretched out from the small window and gently wiped away the tears on Xiaomei's face, and then gently patted Xiaomei's little head: "Xiaomei, don't cry, be good, uncle will take you to eat delicious food, is it okay to eat enough?" Uncle treats. ”
When Xiaomei was still hesitating, Li Feng withdrew his hand, and when he stretched out, a snow-white bear puppet appeared in front of Xiaomei, through the small window, Li Feng's gentle words came from the darkness inside: "This is my little gift to you, I hope you can like it, I know that you don't sleep well if you don't hold the bear at night, take it, be obedient and obedient, okay?" ”
Xiaomei still wiped her tears and hugged her beloved bear tightly, the small window closed in a gentle smile, and then Li Feng walked out of the courtyard, walked out of the courtyard gate, and walked in front of Xiaomei, in Xiaomei's somewhat fearful and hesitant gaze, Li Feng smiled at Xiaobu and stretched out his hand in the sunset.
Under Li Feng's kind encouragement, Xiaomei still grabbed Li Feng's hand in the end, and let Li Feng take her out of the building compound, Xiaomei felt that Li Feng's hands were cold at first, but Xiaomei immediately began to doubt her feelings again, because the next moment, Li Feng's hands became warmer.
In just an instant, a small point brought Li Feng, who was gradually showing signs of birth, back to reality, Li Feng thought he was helping Xiaomei, but he didn't know that Xiaomei had changed his entire life .......
Birth and entry into the WTO are two completely different life paths, if Li Feng continues to be quiet, he will still be Li Feng, but he must be a cold Li Feng, Li Feng, who is becoming more and more impatient with everything, fortunately, it is different now.
In the small restaurant, Li Feng's words gradually increased, after all, if you want to coax a little girl, it should be like this, Li Feng will not notice it when he does this, he gradually doesn't care what he is, and gradually becomes angry and popular.
Feed Xiaomei to her heart that night, Li Feng took Xiaomei to school early the next morning, and by the way, she helped Xiaomei pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees and talked to her teacher about Xiaomei's study, Li Feng didn't bother with the lunch class at noon, and when Xiaomei got out of school in the evening, Li Feng had cleaned up her dusty kitchen and bought some vegetables and started cooking, and on Saturday on the third day, Li Feng had already held a fishing rod in one hand and a cheerful Xiaomei in the other, and planned to go fishing at the beach.
Because of the gradual responsibility, because of Xiaomei's simple happiness, Li Fengjue's self seems to have changed a little, every day in the dark of his heart when the time to march in the dark of his heart is getting less and less, Xiaomei's mother came back again, just Sunday evening, Xiaomei was eating at Li Feng's house when the woman was shouting outside, Xiaomei happily shouted that her mother ran out, Li Feng also followed, and smiled at the woman with kindness and planned to explain, But the woman hugged Xiaomei and looked at Li Feng with suspicion and vigilance, and immediately went upstairs with Xiaomei in her arms, leaving Li Feng to go back to the house helplessly after being stunned.
Since then, Li Feng has never seen Xiaomei again, nor has he seen the thin woman again, at least not for a long time.
After all, his daughter belongs to someone else, Li Feng doesn't plan to do anything superfluous even if he is a little worried, since Xiaomei can't worry about him, Li Feng plans to enter the house again, but he is destined not to be successful, because a second customer came to Li Feng's shop on Monday.
is also a woman, but it is definitely not Xiaomei, so who is it Li Feng didn't want to think about it, and didn't even open her eyes, the woman walked outside the small window and asked in a somewhat old voice: "Boss, I want to be a thing, how much is it worth?" ”
Li Feng still didn't open his eyes, but asked flatly, "What is it?" ”
"I'll mortgage it to you immediately at a price."
Hearing this, smelling some familiar perfume smells wafting in, Li Feng suddenly opened his eyes and lowered his head and tilted his head to look up obliquely from the small window, and Li Feng was also a little in a daze after seeing it clearly.
At this time, the small window was full of smug and coquettish laughter: "What? Am I not worth anything? You won't even open a price? ”
