Chapter 35: The Frightened Passerby

The grocery store is not far from the community, as soon as you get out of the door, turn left.

The grocery store is not very large, about 50 square meters in total, but it can be regarded as a small sparrow, with all kinds of organs.

It's noon and it's almost afternoon, and there won't be many people in the grocery store.

At this point, the girl finally moved slowly to the door of the store, and the door frame of the grocery store was blocked by three or four nailed blue rubber curtains, and she had to step up two steps to get in.

As soon as the girl opened her legs and walked up a step, she heard a cheerful, hearty laugh through the heavy curtains, and the girl looked up to see that it was a couple walking towards the girl in the store.

The man and the woman still looked talking and laughing, and their faces were full of joy and happiness.

Just as the two of them had come closer, and had already reached the door, the woman was babbling briskly to the man as she pushed the curtain outward.

And the man, because he was carrying a full plastic bag in both hands, could no longer free his hands to open the curtain, so he had to follow behind the woman.

At this time, the girl also happened to stand up two steps, and before she could open the curtain of one of the panels, she was preempted by the woman.

"Ahh

Ben is still a woman who talks to a man with a sideways face, Ben is still smiling, she is proud of the spring breeze, but she is just a kung fu to turn her head, after seeing the girl, she was so frightened that she screamed.

And the curtain that should have been closed after waiting for the man to come out, but at this moment, it also broke out of the woman's control, fell backwards, and happened to be thrown at the man without oblivion, and the man was suddenly hit by a strong impact without being guarded, so he staggered back a few steps.

But the woman looked at the girl as if she didn't know anything, and still looked at the girl with a frightened expression.

"What are you doing here?" Soon, the man stood firmly, squeezed out of the gap between the two curtains, and stood beside the woman complaining with a gloomy face.

"No, it's okay, let's go." The woman put away her frightened expression, although she was urging in her mouth, but she still did not take a step, her eyes were also erratic, and she turned her head slightly from side to side, that is, she clearly refused to face the girl again.

The man seemed to have noticed the woman's anomaly, and he tracked the woman's previous gaze and looked ahead.

In the same way, he also saw the girl, and in the same way, it was similar to the woman's expression, and he also looked stunned, but fortunately he didn't shout out.

However, the man quickly calmed down, he lowered his head, and gently arched the woman's waist with his elbow, while whispering continuously, "Go, go, go......", while pressing the woman with his body, pushing the woman to the side.

The girl stood on one side of the steps, which was supposed to be the direction and distance of the three facing each other, but this couple did change direction and detour to the other side of the steps.

At first they walked away slowly, but once they walked past the girl and went down the steps. The girl heard the sound of hurried running footsteps, the sound of the plastic bag colliding with the flesh, and the sound of the contents of some of the plastic bags hitting each other.

The girl turned her head and looked at the backs of the two fleeing in a hurry.

Halfway through, the woman glanced back, and happened to meet the girl's eyes, so the woman hurriedly turned her head back, and accidentally limped, but fortunately, the man grabbed the woman's waist in time, so as not to fall to the ground.

They quickly got into a black car and then disappeared without a trace.

The girl looked at them like this, and felt even more strange, it was a lot of anger that had been pent up before, but after the overreaction of this couple, it was dispersed a lot, and only the doubt of self and her own inexplicable scare people one after another, so she felt aggrieved.

The girl just stood on the two steps, her head twisted, only a third of her body turned, frozen, motionless, as if she were thinking about something.

But she never understood what was the reason why so many people were afraid.

Until, when the girl saw two or three more people coming towards her.

The girl was afraid that she would be scaring those passers-by again for no reason.

So, she hurriedly turned around, faced the grocery store, opened the curtain with both hands, and walked in.

As soon as the girl walked into the shop, she scanned the whole room, but fortunately, there was no one.

There are four rows of small shelves in the grocery store, the shelves are only separated by a distance that can make two people walk side by side, and in the innermost part of the house, there is a row of large shelves, the large shelves are all some daily necessities, and the small shelves are full of all kinds of snacks. And at the outermost entrance, near the doorway, there are two small wooden tables, which are filled with seasonal fruits. Just to the right of the doorway was a small stainless steel closed door, and on the opposite side of the door was a half-U-shaped glass counter the length of three arms, with batteries, cigarettes, lighters, and other small miscellaneous items in the counter.

Behind the glass counter, there is a distance of more than a meter, in addition to a white wall, there is a vertical refrigerator and a horizontal refrigerator, the vertical refrigerator is full of drinks, but the horizontal refrigerator is covered with a heavy quilt, and you can't see what is inside.

Between the two refrigerators and the glass case, there is also an open black recliner.

On the recliner was a thin middle-aged man in his fifties with his eyes closed, wearing only a pair of socks, snoring softly with his mouth open, and holding a mobile phone in both hands.

The girl approached the glass counter, looked at the shopkeeper who was snoring at the moment, and then glanced at the shelves with drinks, but there were not many bottles left that she wanted.

But the girl was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to wake up the boss, but the girl also knew clearly that if she didn't take advantage of the fact that no one was working at this moment, she would buy it and disappear immediately, so if some other people came again, she would inevitably not be scared by herself like those people before.

Just when the girl was in a dilemma and at a loss, the boss choked on half because he took a sharp breath and snored, so he woke up scared himself.

I saw that the boss trembled a little, and finally opened his eyes half-open.

He soon saw the vague figure of the man standing only across the counter, and he hurriedly sat up on the chaise longue, stretched out his feet and put on his leather shoes on the ground, and he stood up, and made a hache as he walked over to the girl.

Just as he had just walked a few steps, opened his eyes completely, and had fixed his eyes on the girl, the boss suddenly stopped, needless to say, as usual, with a frightened expression.

However, although the girl still doesn't know the reason, she is gradually getting used to it, and she doesn't care what kind of mood the boss has, she just thinks about how to let herself leave as soon as possible and reduce her stay.

"Boss, give me ten bottles of mineral water." It was the girl who opened her mouth first, she said dryly, and lowered her head, trying to make the boss unable to see her appearance clearly, and at the same time avoiding letting herself also see the boss's surprised expression.

"Oh, okay, I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you." As he spoke, the boss turned around, opened the small railing of a glass counter connected to the wall behind him, and walked towards the stainless steel door that was closed opposite.

In this process, except for turning around and leaving the counter, the boss never looked at the girl for a moment the rest of the time, even when he took the key to open the small door, he turned his head and kept staring at the girl.

Although the boss's actions can be regarded as very cautious, they are still blatant, and the girl is sensitive, so she can naturally perceive them all.

The girl beats the two little twin girls she saw in the elevator at the beginning, to the various pedestrians on the road, to a couple who have just left, and even the current grocery store owner.

No matter what happened to each of their faces, the first thing they showed was the fear and fear, which really made the girl feel angry and awkward, but when more and more people had this expression on their faces, the girl gradually began to become self-doubting, ashamed and aggrieved.

The girl suddenly felt that she had experienced similar ups and downs of emotional change.

But she always felt that the feelings she had experienced had already passed for a long time, and it was difficult to remember it, the girl frowned, bit her lip, and was racking her brains to recall.

Suddenly, the girl raised her head, and she remembered.

The emotional changes that the girl has suffered along the way are all real things that happened to the girl half a year ago, in the more than ten years she has spent, and when she was a "fat girl".

It's just that the current fear has been replaced by the disgust of the past, but it is extremely difficult than now, and even today, the girl has experienced it again inexplicably.

The girl remembered the ten pounds she had gained again, and she grinned slightly self-deprecatingly, it turned out that nothing had changed since so much time.
