5. Strange warmth

Most of the happy people in the world are the same, but the troubled people have different troubles.

People who like to drink, except for a small number of alcoholics who really love to drink, most of the others want to anesthetize their nerves and thoughts with their confused consciousness after drinking.

A guy in a shabby coat next to him suddenly stood up full of alcohol, let out a heavy wine burp, staggered a few steps top-heavy, his feet went limp, and he fell off the table to the floor with a thud, muttering to himself that he didn't know what to mumble.

Shi Fei looked at this drunken ghost and was really envious. At this time, to be a drunkard, at least you must have a certain economic foundation.

The guy in the store came over and patted the drunken man's face, and reported to the bearded boss with a disgusted expression: "Boss, this guy is drunk again!" ”

The bearded boss threw the money into the drawer and scolded hatefully: "Wake him up for me!" How much money are owed! Every time I come, I bring my own wine, and I don't give money when I'm drunk, so when we open a charity! ”

The man turned him over and slapped him a few times, but the drunk man was completely unconscious and still couldn't wake up.

The guy was in a hurry, and he clenched his fist and was about to punch him in the face.

Only then did Shi Fei clearly see the drunkard's face, and at that glance, he suddenly felt that this person was so familiar.

Before Shi Fei could remember who this person was, his head suddenly seemed to be a machine spinning rapidly, and the "Daystar" system of his brain activated the interface without warning: "Mission: Obtain hidden military medical information." After obtaining, the growth of information collection will be started. ”

Having been harassed by countless illusions, Shi Fei had become accustomed to this system. But what has been opened this time is a new growth system, and looking at the description, it should be the growth of knowledge and skills belonging to the intelligence gathering category.

The growth of engineering and construction has just opened a first-level state, and suddenly there is a growth of information collection. Could it be that this potential development system can continuously open up the growth of knowledge and skills in all directions?

"Hidden Medic?" Shi Fei chewed on these words carefully, understanding that this system would not appear such a prompt for no reason.

Seeing that the guy's fist in the restaurant was about to fall on the drunkard's face, Shi Fei stretched out his hand to stop him: "Slow! Don't fight! ”

Shi Fei walked up to the drunk man with an understanding and stopped the guy's rough behavior. Looking closely, this person must have seen him somewhere before, but suddenly he couldn't remember it.

During the pushing, the drunkard's torn coat was torn open, and a white coat was wrapped inside his shabby coat.

"It turned out to be him!" Shi Fei's heart lit up, and the white coat made him finally remember who this guy was.

"Boss, how much does he owe you? I pay. Shi Fei thought about it, and wanted to verify what benefits this information collection potential development could bring to himself, first of all, he had to save this guy who often paid on credit.

With his weak body, he couldn't withstand a few punches from a guy in the wilderness.

"You pay? Forget it! You are also a mud bodhisattva who can hardly protect himself when he crosses the river. Do you know how many times he owes me money for meals? Get! If I'm unlucky, you can't afford to pay me as much money as you have. "It seems that this drunk man has become the most unwelcome guest here, and he doesn't know how much money he owes to make the bearded boss so despised.

"Mom, a month's military salary, a meal has been reimbursed. What should I do with my life now? Shi Fei hesitated, but still took the money out of his pocket.

"Hey, it's all bad debts anyway, how much can you collect." The bearded boss rudely snatched the money in his hand, dipped his saliva and nodded, and said half-threateningly, "Don't let this guy come to our store again in the future, he is not welcome!" ”

The money that could have lasted a week was gone in an instant.

He asks the hacker to carry the drunk on his back and asks the bearded boss where the drunk lives.

I helped him pay for the meal, and in return, I went to his lodgings for a few nights, not too much.

"There's no accommodation tonight." With a wave of his hand, the bearded boss took out a big bag from it and threw it on the ground, "The luggage is here!" You still owe me money for a few days. Looking at this situation, Shi Fei knew that he had helped a very troublesome guy.

Originally, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he added a burden, if it weren't for the growth that didn't start, Shi Fei really wanted to do the right thing for the sky and throw the drunk outside.

In a very bad mood, barely satisfied, the three of them began to look for a place to stay.

I don't have any money, and it's impossible to stay outside, so after thinking about it, only the haunted orphanage is still familiar.

The two of them set up a drunkard and return to the abandoned orphanage together, and before they make money, they can only cope here.

The two of them found a few small beds, put them together, and laid out a few worn-out mattresses they found, which was considered a bed.

What to do if you don't have warm bedding? In this cold north, you can't survive the night just by relying on righteousness.

Shi Fei and the hacker wandered into the streets, but there was no one to be seen. Even if you ask others for help in a low voice, at least you must be able to meet and be able to speak up.

The hacker was in a hurry, and pointed to the locked house, gearing up, as if he wanted to break in and find a quilt.

Shi Fei thought about it and stopped him.

These locked doors are people's thoughts. Most people leave thinking about when they will be able to come back.

This door is locked and still a home, and if I break in, I am afraid that the last bit of home of the family will be destroyed.

Besides, as a stranger in town, it's better to do less of this kind of thing that can easily get into trouble.

There was no better way, and the two men stood on the side of the road trembling and worried.

After shaking for half an hour, a door on the opposite side suddenly opened, and a silver-haired hunchbacked grandmother came out.

The old lady ** was wrapped in a towel, covering most of her face, on crutches, and walked in front of the two people: "Young man, do you need help?" ”

"This ......" Shi Fei hesitated, and finally said the truth cheekily, "Yes!" We would like to borrow a few quilts to stay overnight! ”

"Come with me. It's so cold, it's not warm, it's not good. The old lady didn't seem to mind the two faces, turned around, and walked to a locked house, took a key from her bent waist, and opened the door.

"Go in and get it. I haven't cleaned it for a long time, and there is a lot of dust. But it's not dirty either. Under the voice of the old grandmother's vicissitudes, there was a kind heart hidden, which made Shi Fei suddenly feel so warm in the cold night.

"This is your family's? Won't it be inconvenient? Shi Fei was even more cautious in the face of the stranger's defenseless kindness, for fear of causing some trouble to the old grandmother.

"It's okay. The children all went to war and did not come back for several years. I'm afraid it's gone...... Take it, it can come in handy...... Very good....." When the old grandmother said these words, her tone was calm, and under her impassivity, she was indifferent to the joys and sorrows of the world.

Shi Fei held a few quilts in his arms, and his heart was heavy.

Although I have seen too many lives and deaths on the battlefield, the separation of life and death has always been tragic and short. He never thought about how the fallen soldiers, their families and relatives, would survive the long night in a more cruel future.

and how it went from sharp sadness to torment and silence.

Shi Fei insisted on helping the grandmother back to the house, closed the door, and walked away with confidence. He has always had a brain, and only then did he smell that the whole town was filled with not only the depression and silence, but also the long sadness.
