Chapter 6 Footprints

The night is dark,

By the time Lin Fan got home, it was already nearly two o'clock in the morning.

Closing the door, Lin Fan turned on the light in the hall on the first floor.

On the sofa, the two cats who were sleeping opened their eyes and looked at Lin Fan,

"Meow~"

As if to say,

Are you back?

Lin Fan approached the sofa and touched the two cats,

"Sleep."

Then the two cats nested on the couch again, closed their eyes and fell asleep.

On the silent and deserted street, only the first floor of Lin Fan's store is still brightly lit.

I poured myself a glass of water and sat down on the sofa next to me to rest.

Hiss –

Lin Fan touched his stomach, and the outline of his abdominal muscles loomed through the thin clothes.

Seems to be a little hungry,

But...

Alas, no matter, see what else is in the fridge.

Get up from the couch and walk towards the back kitchen.

In the end, the bad memories of the day still failed to shake Lin Fan's pursuit of food.

My mentality is really strong.

It's me.

Lin Fan sighed silently in his heart.

A man who has minored in psychology during college has a really unusual ability to adjust his psychology, not to mention that he is a man who has experienced life and death and all kinds of strange supernatural events.

This little thing still didn't affect his appetite.

Man eats to live, but not to live.

But Lin Fan also lives to eat more things, it can't be said that he lives all to eat, but at least it is one of the goals.

After all, who doesn't have a hobby in life, right?

He Lin Fan just likes to eat, a very ordinary hobby.

You can't say that he loves this point is unambitious and superficial.

After all, when it comes to this, it doesn't mean that whoever wants to eat can eat anything, and the person who can eat whatever he wants in ordinary life must at least have certain economic conditions, otherwise why can you do whatever you want, then the problem is back to square one.

You've got to have money.

Fortunately, Lin Fan is not short of money for the time being.

After all, if you look at the art that is bad for money?

Well, Lin Fan can touch his conscience and say that he is engaged in art.

If you can't solve even the most basic problems of eating and drinking, what are you going to do to pursue something of a higher level? Food and clothing can only think about yin desire.

To put it more highly, human beings have some innate needs, and the lower the human needs, the more basic and similar they are to animals; The more advanced the needs, the more unique they are to humans. At the same time, these needs appear in a sequential order, and when a person satisfies the lower needs, the higher needs can appear.

This is Maslow's hierarchy of needs, from bottom to top is physiological needs, safety needs, belonging needs, respect needs, and finally the highest level of self-actualization.

Although Lin Fan is young, he has no problem saying that he Lin Fan is on the fifth layer in a low-key manner.

Open the refrigerator,

Well?

And the uneaten half of the tomato,

Then eat whatever you want,

Make a sandwich.

Immediately, Lin Fan took out half a tomato, a slice of toast bread, and two eggs, and took out ham, bacon, and cheese slices from the frozen layer underneath.

Well

Eat as much as you want.

Lin Fan took his things and came to the back kitchen.

Put some salt and pepper to beat the eggs, fry the bacon on the fire, dip the toast diagonally in the egg mixture, put butter in the pan, fry the toast slices for a while, take it out, pour in the remaining egg mixture, put the toast slices, and then put cheese slices, ham slices, bacon, tomatoes layer by layer, and then squeeze some salad dressing, cover the two cloves of toast diagonally, fry for a while, and you're done.

Picking up the plate and putting it on, Lin Fan took out a bottle of Nongfu Spring that was a little sweet from the fresh-keeping cabinet.

Perfect.

There was also a newspaper on the counter, which should have been read by Aunt Meng, and it was covered on the computer keyboard, probably to cover the dust. Lin Fan picked it up casually, sat on the table and ate it slowly, reading the newspaper casually while eating.

A bite from the entrance,

The aroma of eggs mixed with the aroma of ham and bacon, the sweetness and sourness of tomatoes, and the creaminess of cheese create a delicious flavor that crisscrosses the mouth, as if this sandwich contains the delicious taste of the whole summer.

Well

It's so fragrant.

Lin Fan ate a sandwich and casually flipped through the newspaper on the table, the date was not today, seven days ago.

Soon, Lin Fan ate the last bite of the sandwich.

Take another sip of the sweet Nongfu Spring.

Tut

So full,

Comfortable.

Lin Fan got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the back kitchen sink.

Don't want to wash the dishes,

Let Aunt Meng wash it tomorrow.

Lin Fan turned around and walked out of the back kitchen, ready to turn off the lights and go upstairs to rest.

At this moment,

Knock –

Knock –

Knock –

Someone knocked on the door suddenly,

Is anyone still coming at this late hour?

It's really lively tonight, Lin Fan thought to himself.

Lin Fan walked to the door, there was a person standing outside the door, he opened the locked door, and the moment he opened the door, Lin Fan felt as if there was a heat wave coming from outside the door.

Hiss –

It's hot.

Lin Fan squinted his eyes uncomfortably, and then looked towards the person at the door.

As if sensing something, the two cats suddenly opened their eyes, looked out the door, and then closed their eyes and fell asleep after a few seconds.

There was a man standing outside the door.

Well?

The skin is so dark, and there is no part of the exposed skin that is white.

It's dark, this is Lin Fan's first feeling.

The man should not be very old, his body is quite strong, his appearance is ordinary, his face is a little fleshy, and he has no hair.

I feel that people are a little honest, and their clothes are a little sloppy.

Seeing Lin Fan open the door,

A smile appeared on the man's dark face, and he was honest and honest, and said,

"Hello, excuse me, I've walked here unconsciously, the nearby shops are closed, as long as your lights are still on, can I ......"

The man's voice was soft and extremely reserved.

"Come in."

Lin Fan opened all the doors, the air conditioner was turned off early, and he was not afraid of the cold air running out.

"Hey, okay, thank you."

The man was very polite, nodded his head in thanks, and slowly walked into the store.

Walking barefoot, leaving a series of footprints, which were particularly conspicuous, but Lin Fan didn't care, maybe because it was too hot to sweat.

"Sit casually, the sofa or the wooden chair, you choose."

"Okay, thank you."

The dark-skinned honest man sat on the seat near the door, Lin Fan poured him a glass of water, and the man kept thanking him.

"You're hungry so late, aren't you?" Lin Fan asked.

"Hey, it's okay." The man replied.

"Shall I make you something to eat?"

"I won't bother you."

"It's fine."

Immediately, Lin Fan turned around and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and entered the back kitchen.

There was a sound of cooking coming from the back kitchen.

Soon after,

Lin Fan walked out with a sandwich, and the man was still sitting on the chair.

The sandwich in Lin Fan's hand was more delicate than the one he had eaten himself just now, and then he took out the milk from the refrigerator, poured a glass, and took it to the man sitting at the table along with the sandwich.

"Eat slowly."

"Hey, thank you."

The man reached out and took it,

"My son and daughter love sandwiches, too."

When it comes to his child, the man's eyes show tenderness, and it seems that he should be a family person.

"Children, don't all like this." Lin Fan replied.

"Hey, yes, yes, but you can't eat too much, otherwise it won't look good if you're as fat as me." When it comes to children, the man talks a lot.

"Children are growing up, so it's right to eat more." Lin Fan replied, "Besides, beauty and ugliness are not only determined by appearance. Some people are golden and jade, but they are ruined, and some people may be ordinary and ordinary, but their hearts are beautiful and noble. ”

Then he walked to the table next to him, picked up the newspaper and sat down to read it.

"Ah, yes." The man ate one bite at a time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not long after, the man was full,

"Boss, how much is it?"

Lin Fan put down the newspaper in his hand,

"Look at it, it's all your own food."

"Okay."

The man took out a stack of money from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Then I'll go, thank you boss, I'm sorry for your trouble."

"You're welcome, as it should be."

The man got up and walked barefoot out of the gate into the alley on the opposite side of the road.

The alley is dark,

Little by little, the tall figure of the man disappeared into the darkness.

Like,

Never before has it been the same.

Only on the pavement he walked barefoot, leaving a long series of footprints, with red color, is particularly conspicuous.

Whew-

A gust of wind came from nowhere, blowing gently.

The footprints left on the pavement are also gradually disappearing.

Lin Fan stood at the door, watching the man go away.

"Go all the way."

Lin Fan said softly, then returned to the house and closed the door.

On the table,

The plate of sandwiches and a glass of milk were not touched, Lin Fan glanced at them, and silently brought them into the back kitchen to dispose of them.

Lin Fan walked out of the back kitchen and put away the stack of money that the man had placed on the table.

A stack of bright yellow banknotes.

Then Lin Fan picked up the newspaper on the table and put it back on the counter, then turned off the lights on the first floor and went upstairs to rest.

It was late at night.

Above the counter,

The newspaper lay quietly.

I saw a few huge words printed on the front page of the newspaper, "The hero who saved people in the sea of fire was seriously injured and died."

A long list of reports followed.

Lin Fan remembered that he had seen news reports on the news about the heroes who rescued people from the sea of fire.

A fire broke out in a residential building in a residential area in the city late at night, and the fire continued, and the young man living on the first floor went into the fire after rescuing his wife and children, knocking on the door one by one, and rescued more than 20 neighbors.

He suffered 98% severe burns all over his body, and eventually died of multiple organ failure.

Originally, he was supposed to be the safest and first person to escape, but in order to save people, he ended up seriously injured and died.

After the report at that time, the hero's safety touched people's hearts, all walks of life offered love, and the local government sent him to Beijing for treatment at all costs, but he finally failed to survive the treatment period due to his injuries.

In fact, he was not black, nor was he hairless, but he was just burned by the fire.

The strings of footprints on the ground are not sweat stains, but bloody footprints left when saving people.

People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feathers, and the use of them tends to be different.

Some people may be ordinary and not worth mentioning in life, but in times of crisis, they can always stand up, shoulder the conscience and righteousness of this society, and establish a great figure in people's hearts.

They are ordinary and great, and they live forever in the hearts of people even though they die.

"In the face of a thousand-degree flame, there was no hesitation, no retreat, and he used his life to help others escape from the fire. The bloody footprints in the alleys engrave your selflessness and fearlessness, and your noble soul is bathed in fire and nirvana, immortalized in people's hearts. ”
