Li Zhen sat on the roof of the building, raised his head to look at the stars, and then let out a long breath of turbidity. At one o'clock in the middle of the night, the chill grew. But he wore only a shirt that he bought two months ago and unbuttoned three buttons.

I used to be afraid of the cold, but I didn't know until I came to the store that it was because I couldn't get enough to eat. Just now, Aunt Liu stewed a pot of smorgasbord of the things left by the guests, and a group of people gathered around the table to eat and drink—now they only felt hot and warm on their bodies, as if they were carrying a small stove.

The huge city is still brightly lit, and the endless stream of vehicles on the roads is connected to each other, dividing the city into small grids of colorful sès.

In front of such a worldly interface, the strength of a person is so small—like a point among the many stars in the night sky.

Then he heard the door behind him creak, and then a man came and sat down beside him.

Dark red points of light flickered around him, and then a puff of white smoke erupted.

He turned his head to look, "Smoke less." I just learned it, so I just pack it every two days. ”

Qi Yuanshan laughed and scratched his head: "A pack is only one dollar." How much did you pay for your salary yesterday? ”

Li Zhen thought for a moment: "Two hundred and two." ”

"Huh? Why are you so much? Qi Yuanshan shouted in a fuss, "Why did my aunt give me one hundred and nine?" ”

"Why don't you try serving dishes from eight o'clock in the morning until twelve o'clock in the evening?" Li Zhen pouted, "Of course you wash the dishes in the back kitchen briskly - pour them into the sink, add some washing, stir them together, and then rinse them out." How is it like me smoking...... Look at my hair. ”

Qi Yuanshan reached over and rubbed it: "Ah...... Sprinkle some jing salt cumin and you're ready to serve! ”

Li Zhen smiled and dodged, and the two frolicked for a while, and then fell silent.

"It's cold." Qi Yuanshan tightened his clothes.

"Hmm."

"Are you feeling better on your back?"

"No, it's itchy." Li Zhen scratched his back again, "It may be a skin disease." ”

"Tell my aunt the day after tomorrow, you can go to the hospital and have a look." Qi Yuanshan snuffed out the cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot again, "You haven't had a holiday in the past two months." Last week you said itchy, but now you can't stand it, right? I hear you turn over at night. ”

"I'll talk about it tomorrow - you scratch it for me first, and I can't reach the shoulder blades."

So Qi Yuanshan put his hand into his clothes, groped for the position of his shoulder blades, and was still babbling nonsense in his mouth: "Tsk, this thin skin and tender meat...... This feels ......"

"Get out!" Li Zhen scolded with a smile, "Oh yes, that's it...... You make a little bit of effort......"

Qi Yuanshan worked hard as he said, and scratched it fiercely - he was not afraid of scratching it anyway. Li Zhen, this kid, don't look at the thin skin and tender meat, the skin is very tight - the kitchen knife is gently pulled in the hand, and only white marks are left.

"I said you're going to become a birdman......" he said as he scratched, "the left shoulder blade, the right shoulder blade, the position is not bad at all—"

Li Zhen smiled and raised his head comfortably: "You continue to continue-"

But Qi Yuanshan suddenly stopped behind him, and sighed: "Maybe it's scratching the skin-" Then he pulled his hand out and borrowed

Looking at the light reflected from the billboard in the opposite building, he said, "Oh no...... The hair on your back is still quite long...... It's still white. ”

"What?" Li Zhen turned to look at his hand - between Qi Yuanshan's fingernails, three slightly thicker fine hairs swayed in the breeze, and soon floated away.

Li Zhen looked at the direction they floated away in a daze, and was silent for a while. Qi Yuanshan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "What?" What's the matter, let's go to the hospital tomorrow and see if it's okay? ”

He came back to his senses and smiled, "Hmm." You go back first, I'll sit down for a while, and I'll go back to the house when you're asleep, or you won't be able to sleep if I roll over. ”

Qi Yuanshan looked at him again, and said later: "Okay, you can go to bed early." Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, the store must be busy, you sleep late and there should be no Jing during the day. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand, and then he turned around and left.

Hearing Qi Yuanshan's footsteps gradually disappear into the corridor, he took a deep breath and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.

At the elbow, three tiny white scales flashed against the light of the billboard. He pinched one of them with his fingernails, closed his eyes, and tore it brutally—

A small stream of blood flew out. But within two seconds, the bleeding stopped...... Another white scale slowly squeezed out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Zhen looked at the three small things, sat down on the ground in a daze, closed his eyes and said to himself: "This is not scientific...... Shouldn't it be a white snake? That chicken isn't a white chicken, is it? …… And rabbits and hedgehogs, oh my goodness......"

The year 2014 is also the third day of November in the 36th year of Chang Gung, which is the Christmas of the Emperor Chang Gung of the Chinese Empire.

Early in the morning, Aunt Liu called all the guys in the store. Barbecue master Lao Sun, stir-fry chef Sister Zhao, waiters Qi Yuanshan, Yu Yingying, Li Zhen and the boss, a total of six people, yawned from seven o'clock and looked up at the TV hanging on the wall.

In fact, everyone is no stranger to the appearance of the emperor. Especially Aunt Liu's generation, when he was just in school, he caught up with Emperor Chang Gung to ascend the throne, and almost watched him from a young man to gray temples.

But it is common for emperors in suits and leather shoes to be common, and emperors wearing a full set of crowns are rare - not to mention that because of this "60th birthday", they will also do enough ancient rituals and dispatch a royal honor guard of nearly 2,000 people.

Everyone watched and listened to Aunt Liu and Lao Sun reminisce about the past.

What are the bits and pieces such as "the last time I saw the emperor wearing yellow or when he ascended the throne", "the emperor has aged more and more over the years", "the prince doesn't show up often and doesn't know what Lu Dao looks like" and so on.

During this period, two groups of people knocked on the door to come in for dinner, but they were all dismissed by Aunt Liu on the grounds that "today is Christmas and the door will not open until ten o'clock".

When he heard Lao Sun talking about the emperor's donation of 100,000 gold yuan from the royal expenses during the summer earthquake, Li Zhen remembered Yu Qingqing. I don't know if the little girl is doing now, and I don't know if her family is healthy and happy.

At half past eight, the live broadcast of the celebration began, and the prime minister's speech took 20 minutes, leaving only 10 minutes for the emperor. Seeing Aunt Liu and Lao Sun chanting vigorously, "What kind of system is this", Li Zhen and Qi Yuanshan squeezed their eyebrows and laughed.

By the time of their generation, Emperor Chang Gung had rarely appeared in public because of his poor health. Therefore, they have a rather weak impression of this head of state, who has no real power and only symbolic significance, so they can't understand the feelings of the two middle-aged people at all.

It was easy to survive the unlucky royal celebration, and finally it was ten o'clock. The three little ones hurriedly escaped from the TV under the pretext that they were preparing to open. There are few people, and Aunt Liu also feels bored, so Suo Xing waved her hand: "Open the door!" ”
