The summer night is dark late, and the night market stalls near the river road are lined up one after another, and people come and go, so you can't feel the bleakness of the night here.

But after walking out of the riverside road, there are more than half of the people on the road, and almost all the shops are closed, except for a few private stalls that are still keeping vigil.

Zhao Qingyu was going to go back directly, but suddenly thought that it was the first time she had finally arrived in the east of the town, which was close to the barber shop she often came to.

It just so happens that the short hair is a little long, especially the one at the back of the neck, whether it is long or not, it is not short or short, and it can't be tied up, and the thick nest is a lump in this weather, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

So she turned her foot around and strode in the direction of the barbershop.

There are very few people on this road, but fortunately, the barber shop has always closed late, and when Zhao Qingyu passed, there was an elderly fashion aunt in the shop who was perming her hair, about the same age as her mother, but she was very fashionable.

As soon as Zhao Qingyu entered the store, she didn't need to speak, the gentle little brother who often gave her haircuts beckoned to her: "You are here, come on, I will wash your hair." ”

"Huh."

"Why are you here alone so late today?" The gentle little brother asked while testing the temperature of the water, "What about your brother?" ”

"He's watching TV at home."

The warm water flowed out slowly, soaking Zhao Qingyu's hair, and she closed her eyes to enjoy the temporary comfort.

The gentle little brother's technique became more and more exquisite, especially when massaging the scalp, as if it had its own magical hypnotic magic, which swept away Zhao Qingyu's original irritable and depressed mood, and he just wanted to close his eyes and sleep.

"Girl, wake up, ......"

A soft whisper came from his ears, Zhao Qingyu suddenly woke up, opened his eyes suddenly, and after being slightly stunned, he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, and suddenly smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just fell asleep." With that, she sat up.

"It's okay, you're probably too tired." The gentle little brother pursed his lips and laughed, picking up a dry towel to wrap her wet hair.

Zhao Qingyu hurriedly hugged the towel by himself, ran towards the haircut place with a smoke, and found an empty seat to sit down.

The gentle little brother followed: "I'll cut it for you." ”

"Okay."

Although the gentle little brother's skills did need to be improved at the beginning, Zhao Qingyu felt that his haircutting level was getting better and better a few times later.

After cutting her hair several times, she felt that she looked more handsome than men...... (*︾▽︾)

The gentle little brother picked up a comb to help Zhao Qingyu comb his hair: "Is it the same?" ”

"Hmm."

There was no need for superfluous conversations, Zhao Qingyu leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and just waited.

However, the fashion aunt next to her was very interested in her, and when she saw her cut her hair so short, she couldn't help but shake her head: "The girl with the logo, why do you cut your hair short, like a baby." ”

Zhao Qingyu opened her eyes and smiled at her slightly.

The aunt was perming her hair, maybe she was too bored to wait, and when she saw a strange thing, she opened the conversation: "I don't think you look like a girl in the martial arts hall, white and clean, why do you take care of that short hair." ”

In addition to the world-famous scenic spots, W Town also has many martial arts schools.

Zhao Qingyu also found it strange that the boys who practiced martial arts here liked to have long hair and then braid it and hang it behind their heads, while most of the girls cut their hair short, even shorter than ordinary boys.

"It's too busy, it's easier to wash your hair."

Zhao Qingyu said with a smile, thinking that probably the girl who practiced martial arts also thought the same.

"Hey, how troublesome it can be to wash my hair, like I come here directly every time I wash my hair, I don't need to do it directly, it's not expensive, and I can help me blow a style every time I wash it......"

The aunt winked at the gentle little brother as she spoke: "Are you right?" ”

"Haha...... ...... to the

The gentle little brother's personality is a little introverted, and he can only laugh awkwardly in the face of his aunt's commercial support.

In fact, such a character will be eliminated in the future beauty salon industry.

But Zhao Qingyu just likes this feeling, it's easy to get along, you don't have to think, you don't have to be careful.

Seeing that the gentle little brother didn't seem to be interested in the topic just now, the aunt glanced at the two figures outside the door with their backs to the barbershop door, and suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Eh, how long have you been working here?" ”

The gentle little brother was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he was talking to himself: "One year." ”

"No wonder, are you going to finish learning technology and become a master, or are you going to open your own shop?"

The gentle little brother quickly glanced at the door: "Ah, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

For some reason, the conversation between the two should have been normal, but Zhao Qingyu suddenly had a very strange feeling.

What was strange, she couldn't tell.

But when she saw the curtain at the door being lifted and the owner of the barber shop walking in with a smile on his face, she seemed to understand something.

"Sister Xiang, our little apprentice is introverted, don't keep teasing him."

"What am I teasing him, I'll ask."

Zhao Qingyu retracted his gaze, it turned out that the boss was outside, it was quite stupid to talk about these things in such a grand manner.

With the boss here, the gentle little brother no longer needs to deal with one question after another from the fashion aunt, and begins to cut Zhao Qingyu's hair wholeheartedly.

Soon, Zhao Qingyu walked out of the barbershop with a shredded flowing short hair.

After walking a few steps, someone suddenly called her behind her.

She turned around suspiciously and saw the gentle little brother chasing after her.

"Huh, what's wrong?" Zhao Qingyu suddenly became nervous, "I just gave the money." ”

"No, it's not." The gentle little brother couldn't cry or laugh, so he walked up to her and whispered, "Do you have a phone?" ”

seemed to think that Zhao Qingyu was still a student, so he hurriedly changed his words: "It's okay to deduct the buckle number." ”

Zhao Qingyu's heart moved slightly, and he shook his head: "No." ”

"Ahh The gentle little brother showed disappointment in his eyes, but soon he took out a folded note and stuffed it into Zhao Qingyu's hand, "It's okay, this is my phone number and buckle number." ”

With that, he hurriedly turned around and went back to the barbershop.

Zhao Qingyu was dumbfounded for a while, looked down at the small note in his hand, and felt complicated.

Doesn't this person know that even if there is a deduction number, she must not have much opportunity to surf the Internet as a high school student, so what's the use of adding it?

Standing in place for a while, Zhao Qingyu turned around and walked back.

After a few steps, he turned back and picked up the crumpled little note on the ground, put it back in his pocket, and strode away.

……

The crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, and the sky is full of stars.

There are no street lights on this road, and the old asphalt road is soft and glutinous by the day, and you can still smell a faint smell of tar at night.

There were a few black shadows gathered together next to the flower bed not far ahead, if it weren't for a few red stars floating in the air, Zhao Qingyu would hardly have noticed that there were still a bunch of people there.

She quickened her pace to get to the main road, where there were high street lamps and cars whizzing by from time to time.

Darkness is always easy to make people feel uneasy and associated.

When passing by the group of people, Zhao Qingyu deliberately went around to the other side of the trail and walked over quickly without squinting.

However, the sound of footsteps behind her made her heart sink.

Someone followed.

Her hands at her side unconsciously curled into fists, and after taking a deep breath, she quickened her pace.

But the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer told her that the people who followed her also sped up.

"Tap, tap, tap" is the sound of slippers, and "Clang" is the sound of plastic sandals......

Sure enough, there was more than one person.

Zhao Qingyu suddenly felt her scalp tingle, and seeing that the main road of the town was 100 meters ahead, she first slowed down, and then the footsteps behind also slowed down, as if she was wary of turning around at any time.

At that moment, she let out a loud cry and ran wildly.

The people behind were startled by her shout, and they all stopped in unison, and after being stunned, one of them pointed to the figure of Zhao Qingyu running more than ten meters away and shouted: "Stop her for me!" ”

Zhao Qingyu ran forward regardless of it, and saw that she was about to run to the main road, when two people suddenly jumped out of the alley next to her and stopped in front of her.

"Phew, it's better to hide here beforehand, otherwise she would have slipped away." One of them spat on the ground and cursed.

Zhao Qingyu gasped and stepped back, but the messy footsteps behind her ruthlessly reminded her that she had been outflanked.

She could only stop, standing in place, looking at the two people not far in front of her, or two dark shadows.

They were so tall and thin that they were not very old when they heard their voices.

"What do you want to do? I just came out to cut my hair, and the dollar I brought with me was gone. Zhao Qingyu tried to speak calmly.

"Hahahaha......"

As if they had heard a big joke, the people around them laughed arrogantly.

Zhao Qingyu's teeth creaked slightly, but he didn't say a word.

"Let me tell you, we've all seen it a long time ago, you came out with Li Feiyu's kid today, hehe, I didn't expect him to be interested in a tomboy like you." A dark shadow approached her in front of her, and under the moonlight, Zhao Qingyu could barely see his blurred facial features, greasy and obscene.

"Tsk, don't say it, although it's a tomboy, this little look is quite chic."

Zhao Qingyu took a half step back slightly, although the person was half a meter away from her, the breath that came out of her mouth when she spoke almost made her vomit her dinner.

"Damn, what's your expression on this? Dislike Lao Tzu?! The man suddenly became vicious, and suddenly raised his arm as if to come over and slap her.

Zhao Qingyu's eyes stinged suddenly, and he couldn't help but close his eyes uncomfortably, no pain came from his face for a long time, and someone was talking in his ears.

"What are you doing? We want her to call Li Feiyu out, see what she says, if she doesn't agree, it's not too late. ”

Oh, no wonder, someone is fighting.

The stinging pain in her eyes eased a little, and she slowly opened them.

"If you deal with these little chickens, you have to scare, you see I slapped her first, she slapped and cried and shouted to call Li Feiyu's kid to come over!" The man was dissatisfied with his companion's remarks.

"Yes, yes, you're right, but I think this kind of little girl is scared without fighting, and there is no need to do anything to others."

"Hmph, none of the people who have anything to do with Li Feiyu are fuel-efficient lamps, do we suffer less?"

The men seemed to start arguing over whether to beat her or not, and of course some chose to remain silent.

Zhao Qingyu felt that both sides of his sunology jumped suddenly, and he jumped so violently that it hurt.

Suddenly, the person who had spoken very loudly before saw her expression, and seemed to think that she was too indifferent, without the nervousness, fear, and horror they expected.

He slapped away his companion's hand angrily, pointed to Zhao Qingyu's face and said, "Look at it, what is this woman's expression?" ”

The companion looked over inexplicably, Zhao Qingyu's face was facing the main road, and the blurred light shone on her face.

"Ah, what's the expression? I don't have any expressions. The companion said suspiciously.

"That's the expression!" The man suddenly shouted, "It's the same as Li Feiyu, pretending to be extremely disgusting!" ”

Probably touching some of the man's fragile nerves, he rushed over, and his huge palm swung vigorously towards Zhao Qingyu's face.

Zhao Qingyu, who was dizzy, couldn't dodge it at all, and received this slap firmly, and his petite and thin body was beaten to the side, almost falling to the ground.

Her face was suddenly hot, Zhao Qingyu turned her face half sideways, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the half of her face, and for a while, she couldn't feel the touch of her fingers.

Several other people were also blinded by this sudden slap, and when they saw that the man still wanted to chase after him and hit him again, they reacted and hurriedly rushed over to stop him.

"Don't fight, this girl's small body can't withstand a few punches from you."

A hanger's voice sounded beside him, and this person was a little weighty among these people.

"Wait until I come and talk to her." The man said, walking to Zhao Qingyu's side, "Girl, we don't mean to bully you on purpose, look at it like this, you call Li Feiyu out alone, as long as you see his person, we will let you go immediately, what's the matter?" ”

Zhao Qingyu felt as if someone was saying something in front of her, but her eyes were bright red, she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.

There seemed to be something in her mind that was about to burst out, something so manic that it scared her, crazier than a mad beast.

No.

No......

"See, see! This doesn't take us seriously at all! ”

"Shut up!" The man standing beside Zhao Qingyu yelled irritably, and when he looked at her again, there was no patience in his tone, "Do you say it or not?" I'm telling you, I'm much worse than this kid who beat you, and you don't say anything more—"

……

When Li Feiyu arrived, there was only a thin figure standing in the dark alley with his backlight.

A heart in his chest was beating violently, his legs trembling slightly, and he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet.

"Zhao, Qing, Yu ......"

He shouted at the back.

The figure turned slowly, and the face was a despair he hadn't seen in his life.

"Li Feiyu."

Zhao Qingyu replied to him very lightly.

"It's me, it's me!" Li Feiyu finally put his heart back, and hurriedly ran over in a panic.

Suddenly, Zhao Qingyu knelt on the ground and covered his face in pain: "It's over, it's over, I'm done......"

Li Feiyu rushed over and hugged her: "No, no, you're fine, you're fine, you're not hurt, right?" ”

Zhao Qingyu shook her head, her hands were tightly blocked on her face, and the backs of her hands and arms were sporadically red.

Li Feiyu was startled, and when he looked down again, he was shocked to find that there were still large scarlet marks on the other party's goose-yellow shirt, and a faint smell of rust lingered on the tip of his nose.

His heart sank completely.
