Chapter 36: A Vignette
Uncle really counts what he says, and the place they are in now is indeed the most prosperous night market in the entire Qilu City. The lights of the Shan Shan lit up the streets, and the aroma of food floated in the air, creating a faint mist. The shouts of the hawkers echoed throughout the street, and in addition to those selling snacks, there were also all kinds of clothes and shoes, and there were also other things.
Xia Ke stood in front of a clothing stall made of plastic into a shed, and all kinds of clothes were neatly arranged in the shed.
"Beauty, if you have anything to like, come in and have a look!" The stall owner was a girl who looked about the same age as Xia Ke, and she was greeting to see off a wave of customers, and when she turned around, she saw Xia Ke standing in front of her stall, and asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Xia Ke waved his hand, "No, no, I'll take a look." With that, Xia Ke turned and went in another direction.
The uncle followed behind Xia Ke, "I have clothes I like to buy." โ
"I don't want to," Xia Ke walked forward, his eyes glancing quickly over the stall on the side of the road, "It's not that I don't have clothes, besides, we're here to eat food today, and I'll find my friends to buy clothes, so that they can give me a reference." โ
"Hehe, that's the case, after all, my vision is not as good as you little girls." The uncle is still wearing a white shirt and pants, but the shoes on his feet have become a pair of sneakers.
In Xia Ke's words, it's uncle, your clothes are really not worthy of your car. But the uncle himself doesn't mind this, the difference between going out and being at home is a pair of sneakers.
"Uncle, are you at the wrong intersection? Why do we sell clothes all the way? Xia Ke suddenly turned her head, and she raised an eyebrow at her uncle.
The uncle smiled helplessly, what did he do to give the little girl a very road idiot!
"You've asked this question three times, we're really not wrong, there's a snack street over there, believe me, okay?"
Xia Ke puffed out his cheeks and shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, believe you for now." After saying that, Xia Ke turned his head and continued to move forward, leaving only the uncle behind him with a wry smile.
Turning the corner, what was displayed in front of Xia Ke was indeed a whole food street.
The closest to Xia Ke is a bubble tea shop, and further back, there are all kinds of stalls with smoke.
Xia Ke clapped his hands, spread his legs and rushed to the squid stall next to the bubble tea shop. There was already a circle of people in front of the stall, and Xia Ke wanted to squeeze in, but before he could move forward, he had already been pushed out.
What the heck! Looking at a strong man in front of her in surprise, Xia Ke opened her mouth for a long time and didn't come back to her senses, until the uncle stood next to her, and then she stepped on the floor hatefully.
Seeing Xia Ke's action of stepping on the floor, the uncle laughed happily, the little girl is in a temper. "What's wrong?" He had just walked slowly, and he hadn't seen what Xia Ke had experienced, and he couldn't quite understand why the little girl, who was still happy, suddenly lost her temper.
"Someone pushed me out." Xia Ke stared at the strong man before, eager to stare that person out of a hole, what kind of person, can he bully people casually just because he has grown fat?
"That person?" The uncle followed Xia Ke's gaze and swept towards the strong man, well! He is 1.8 meters tall, has broad shoulders and thick arms, is full of muscles, and has tattoos on his body.
Xia Ke nodded indignantly, the strong man not only pushed her out, he pushed almost everyone out. The stall wasn't that big in the first place, but he was big, and he was standing there alone, and there were no more people squeezed on the side.
Originally, the expressions on the faces of those who were about to take their turn were even angrier than Xia Ke, and they had been waiting for a long time, and they were finally getting to them, and now they were still squeezed out. It's not easy to visit a night market, which stall is not crowded in front of it, according to this trend, what night market are they going to visit today!
"This gentleman, our squid is almost ready, can you let me go?" A man in an army-green coat patted the strong man's hand, which was holding a woman in a five-quarter-sleeved dress. The woman looked at the strong man with disdain, and the good-looking makeup on her face was a little angry because of the fact that she was squeezed away.
The strong man turned his head and looked at the man in the coat with an expression that you are looking for death, pouted and turned around.
The crowd was quiet and terrible at this moment, and the people who were still indignant because of the * team had no words. The man in the coat was unusually abrupt at this time, and he moved his body a little crampedly.
Xia Ke stood on the periphery of the crowd, his hands on his chest, his gaze moving from the man in the coat to the others. Those people said a lot at the beginning, why are they all lowering their heads now, and they don't dare to let a fart go!
"Cut, it's boring." Xia Ke looked at the man in the coat and seemed to be frightened by the strong man, and he didn't react for a long time, just wanting to pull the uncle out of the stall. There's no need to help people who don't help themselves!
Just as Xia Ke was about to leave, the man in the coat spoke again.
"Sir, you shouldn't cut in line, everyone has been waiting for a long time, if everyone is like you, then everyone won't be able to eat."
Xia Ke's footsteps stopped, and he stood back in his original place.
As soon as the strong man took the roasted and hesitated to leave, he heard the man in the coat say this, he seemed to be a little impatient, put down the squid and turned around, with a look of who owed him millions.
"Who the are you! Lao Tzu doesn't cut in the queue to care about your, you talk a lot, a gentleman grinds like a girl. โ
As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent again. The man in the coat pulled the woman in the long skirt next to him back, and then continued to speak: "It's not right for you to cut in line, it doesn't matter if I'm a gentleman or not." โ
"Poofโ"
As soon as the man in the coat said that, Xia Ke really couldn't hold back. This person seems to have a good temper, and he doesn't speak foul-mouthed, and he doesn't expect to be cowardly. After Xia Ke finished laughing, he realized that the people around her were looking at her. Well, now I can't get out of it anyway, so it's good to plug in.
Clearing his throat, Xia Ke raised his head and crossed his hands on his hips, "Yo, then you are amazing." Cutting in line is something that girls don't do, and you're a big man who does it so reasonably. "Who wouldn't be foul-mouthed, I think when Lori took her to mix in society, she hadn't heard any swear words, just at this level, it's not a problem.
After listening to Xia Ke's words, the uncle rubbed his somewhat sore forehead. It turns out that the little girl scolded people like this, no wonder she said that she didn't hate Xiao Ye anymore, if she hated Xiao Ye, it was estimated that Xiao Ye would be scolded to death. Pacing leisurely, he walked to Xia Ke's side, and the uncle looked at the strong man with a bright smile.
Perhaps it was the uncle's subtle action that played a role, and the crowd began to stir again, and some people slowly walked behind Xia Ke.
An invisible force spread through the crowd, and people subconsciously began to distance themselves from the strong man.
Xia Ke watched the crowd around her gradually increase, without any smile on his face. Human beings are like that, no one wants to be the first bird, because no one wants to get into unnecessary trouble.
If she was still that ordinary summer guest today, she wouldn't have stepped forward to help that coat man. When you stand up, it means that you are going to be the enemy of the strong man. Xia Ke thinks she is relatively timid, but now she has a power that others do not have......
When the crowd was in turmoil, the strong man had already got his grilled squid, and walked out of the crowd step by step, and when he passed by Xia Ke's side, the strong man's shoulder slammed into Xia Ke's shoulder.
Xia Ke also felt the strong man's movements, and as soon as his footsteps moved back, the strong man brushed Xia Ke's body and rushed forward. Xia Ke's left foot was slightly raised, bringing a small amount of Yuan Li, aiming at the back of the strong man's knee.
The strong man fell to the ground with a puff, originally only on his knees, but who would have thought that the floor was a little slippery, his hands were not steady, and the whole person threw himself forward.
"Haha......"
The crowd around erupted in laughter, and Xia Ke slowly withdrew her left foot and squatted beside the strong man.
"The road is slippery, be careful."
After saying these four words, Xia Ke pulled the hem of his uncle's clothes and left. After they left, the crowd slowly dispersed, and the man in the coat who had been talking suddenly pulled his girlfriend to catch up with Xia Ke's footsteps.
"This young lady, thank you for helping us out."
Xia Ke replied without replying, "It's not to help you, it's just that I can't get used to that person's arrogance." โ
The man seemed to want to say something, but the woman next to him suddenly glared at him, and then the two stopped following in Xiake's footsteps.
After walking far, Xia Ke looked back a little, and saw a man and a woman standing on the side of the street, the woman slid her hands up and down as if she was gesturing something, and the man lowered his head and looked very depressed.
"Want to know what they're talking about?" The uncle was heart-wrenching the hem of his clothes, this was his freshly ironed T-shirt, and now he was pulled by the little girl like this, and he had to iron it again when he went back.
"I don't want to." Xia Ke turned her head, she didn't want to be nosy. Just now, it was really uncontrollable, and I had nothing to do to eat, did I hold it up?
The uncle found out that his T-shirt might be scrapped, so he simply left it alone, who would notice it when it was dark anyway?
"Don't really want to know? What do they have to do with you? โ
Xia Ke looked up at the uncle, "That woman is blaming that man for being nosy." As for me, it must be that the man shouldn't thank me. With a wave of his hand, Xia Ke continued to wander the street.
Everyone's way of life is different, and the perspective of the world is naturally different, there is no need to use your standards to measure others, and of course, you don't have to use other people's standards to measure yourself.
In Lori's words, everyone has their own life, and no one can control it.
Besides, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what the woman said. If it had been her and her boyfriend who had encountered this kind of thing, she would have prevented her boyfriend from meddling.
People are selfish, aren't they?
