Chapter 18: The Man in the Holster (5)
There are too many ways for modern people to be entertained, and the business of amusement parks is not easy to do. It is often popular for a year and a half when it first opens, and then with the opening of amusement parks with updated facilities, the old ones gradually become unpopular. People are the same as time, they don't miss the old, this is no wonder people, and it is no wonder that time. It's too hard and too hard to keep your share of eternity in a changing world.
The amusement park where the blue fat man works is a relatively old one, and the operator even charges the park tickets for free, only charging for the amusement items, in order to seek some opportunities to return to the light during the summer vacation, which gives me the convenience of free entry to the park.
The blue fat man didn't know I was coming, and he didn't know what I looked like. I don't know his real name, and he doesn't know mine. Speaking of which, I only have a three-hundred-and-fifty dollar trading relationship with him, and to be on the safe side, I plan to observe him up close for a while.
The amusement park wasn't big, and I soon found the human-played Doraemon in front of a merry-go-round. And the surrounding environment is indeed very similar to the one in that photo. I ordered a cup of milk tea at a nearby bubble tea shop, sat down on a chair covered by a sun umbrella, and quietly observed the doll.
As we all know, Doraemon is a cartoon character about the same length and width. At this time, the proportions of the body of a living person inevitably look very weird. And this blue fat man didn't seem to mind the fact that he wasn't fat, but worked hard to hand out leaflets, in the evening heat that was still in the thirties.
Dressed in short sleeves, I don't know what the people in the holster are suffering, but I know that today is not the hottest day in recent days. Occasionally, children who don't distinguish between beauty and ugliness ask for a group photo, and the blue fat man also tries his best to pose in various exaggerated and funny poses to cooperate, unlike the fake smile in the Guo family's nursing home, this blue fat man seems to be really happy.
The facilities of the amusement park are about to close, and the number of visitors is decreasing. The blue fat man took off his hood and rested on the street lamp next to him for a while. That handsome face was completely soaked with sweat, and the same sweaty hair also formed a weird hairstyle when the hood was removed.
The blue fat man noticed that I was looking at him, nodded at me, and smiled kindly, of course, he didn't know that I was the "boss" who made the weird request.
Suddenly, a four- or five-year-old child pointed to the fat blue man who had taken off his hood and said to the parent holding his hand: "Mom, look, that Doraemon is a human pretend." ”
The blue fat man obviously heard this too, and he hurriedly put on his hood. In a very exaggerated walking posture, he staggered up to the child, crouched down, and lowered his voice to imitate the famous voice actor with a slightly hoarse voice: "Who said I was pretending? ”
The kid was amused by his exaggerated performance, pinched his nose and said, "Hey, hey, it's fake, I just saw it." ”
"Can the disguised Doraemon have a magic weapon for you?" The blue fat man took out a lollipop from his "four-dimensional pocket" and handed it to the child.
Seeing the child go happily, the blue fat man slowly turned around. Doraemon on the hood was smiling happily and sincerely, and at that moment, I believe that the child just now would think that Doraemon was pretending to be a human.
I finally waited until seven o'clock, and I sucked the pearls in the milk tea clean. The blue fat man finally took off his costume and planned to go home. But the route he walked did not go beyond the amusement park, but came to a prefabricated house in the corner of the amusement park. I know that many recruiters in the name of "food and housing" are actually doing this kind of work in order to save costs.
The blue fat man entered the board room, and there was a sound of water inside, and he seemed to rinse it briefly, change his clothes, and come out with his wet hair. He went out and saw me still standing a short distance outside the door looking at him. At this time, even a fool knows that I am coming for him.
He walked over quickly and asked politely, "May I ask what ...... you are?"
Looking closer, he is indeed younger than in the photo, and it seems that he is really only the age of a high school student.
I patted him on the shoulder and introduced myself, "Nobita, I'll take you home for dinner." ”
……
I don't have a lot of money, so the fly restaurant string of incense is the best choice at this time.
"Boss, what do you want me to say, you not only gave me money, but also invited me to dinner, I can't afford it." The blue fat man's expression looked a little panicked.
"Let's make a friend," I explained, "Let's get to know each other again, my name is Chen Liao." ”
"Zheng Mingchuan, boss, do you have anything else to do with me?"
"Can you stop calling me boss? It looks like I'm old, and besides, I'm also a poor person, where is the boss. Last time, I gave you all the money I earned in half a month. ”
"Cheng, brother, you have a word." Zheng Mingchuan seems to know etiquette very well, and when he is talking to people, he must be looking at you intently, even if we are still walking.
I waved my hand: "Don't call you 'you' either, see you." ”
The street lights are on, and the hungry figure under the lights seems to be the true face of this sanctimonious city. Fortunately, living here, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing all the time. In the face of many cost-effective delicacies, it is a great blessing that you can resist not gaining weight.
Zheng Mingchuan and I sat down on an open-air stool, waiting for the freshly selected bamboo skewers to be baptized with butter.
I got straight to the point and said, "I have an important matter to ask for your help, and this matter is dangerous, so I will tell you all the causes and consequences, and you decide for yourself whether to help me or not." In exchange, I happen to have an empty room in my house, not far from the amusement park where you work, and can let you stay for free. ”
Zheng Mingchuan was obviously intrigued by my words: "That's a good dare, I'm dying of living in a prefabricated house, and I don't even have an air conditioner at night, only an electric fan." If you fall asleep, you can only feed mosquitoes. But, brother, what you just said sounds like something terrible. Is it that the dark forces are about to invade the earth, and you have come to me to save the world together? ”
Looking at his serious appearance, it seems that I really feel that I want to ask him to save the world. This is not too small, and he still loves to dream so much?
"That's not true," I said, "but before I tell you the cause and effect, we have to tell each other about the cause and effect to make sure we can trust each other." ”
Zheng Mingchuan clapped his hands: "What's wrong with this!" ”
Me: "Okay, then let me ask you first, it seems that you are not yet eighteen years old, and you are quite handsome, how can you work in an amusement park?" What about your parents? ”
