031. As the sky darkens, the stars will shine
It was also getting deeper, Lin Yuan sat on the roadside stall at the entrance of the school and looked up at the dark sky, and after looking at it for a long time, he began to be stunned. Zhao Qi carried a case of beer and put it next to the table, without saying a word, he used chopsticks to cut the tape, then took out two bottles of beer and put them on the table full of side dishes.
He said, "How?" Can you drink it? “
Lin Yuan lowered his head and looked at the beer: "Why did you think of drinking these wines?" ”
Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "Come on, don't talk about this at this time." You've just been discharged from the hospital for a few days, can you drink it? If you can drink it, you can drink two glasses with me? ”
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, took a bottle of beer and put it in front of him: "Why don't you go to that store?" ”
"Don't mention it to me about those two people in the future, he took us to that store, and I can't go again." Zhao Qi poured himself a glass and drank it dry in one gulp.
He pointed to the table and said resolutely: "In the future, this will be a special drinking place for the two of us." ”
It's noisy around, it's September, and the street stalls at night are generally full as long as they aren't too unpalatable, and this kind of atmosphere is the first time he's experienced it, but it does feel better than in a restaurant, at least in terms of the current feeling.
Here you can look at the sky, look at the streets, look at the neon of high-rise buildings in the distance, and look at the people of all shapes, which gives him a very subtle feeling.
Although it is not an urban area, there are still a few high-rise buildings, and those buildings stand there alone, pointing to the high sky, exuding light and stars blending together, looking like something in the sky.
There are a few takeaway guys sitting around to discuss today's income, and a few people dressed as migrant workers are laughing and drinking next to them, everyone is not easy to live, but here, at this moment, they are all hidden.
Zhao Qi has completely lost the shadow of Dashao, and he looks no different from ordinary ordinary people in the market. He used disposable chopsticks to hold the peanuts, but he couldn't catch them, and finally he was so anxious that he grabbed them with his hands.
He stuffed peanuts into his mouth, spat out a few pieces of skin, and said, "Why don't you drink it?" ”
Lin Yuan suddenly looked back, poured a full glass of wine and drank it all, he found the feeling when he was sitting with Fang Yu watching the snow at that time.
At that time, we were also drinking beer and talking together, it was snowing outside, the air was very cold, and the wine was cold in my heart.
In the blink of an eye, things are wrong, but less than two years have passed.
He was very emotional, so he poured another glass, a bottle of beer was half gone in a blink of an eye, and he was about to drink the third cup when he heard Zhao Qi say: "You drink slowly, I am just your brother." ”
Lin Yuan's nose was sour, leaving tears.
"You're stupid, you haven't poured out the water in your head yet?" Zhao Qi smiled.
"I'll pay you back the money later." Lin Yuan put down the cup and said.
"Hey, that hospitalization fee is a fart, if you don't die, I won't protect you, and I'll compensate you."
Lin Yuan just opened his mouth to refute, but Zhao Qi blocked his throat: "If you dare to mention the matter of money again, we will immediately part ways." ”
"What the is money, and you can't pay a true brother." Zhao Qi was furious: "On the surface, he is called a brother and a brother, but he stabbed you twice in the back, this kind of person still deserves to live?" ”
"I also raped and killed my sister, it's really perverted! Tut-tut, rare in the world, rare in the world. ”
Lin Yuan knew that he must not be uncomfortable, so he felt uncomfortable and moved, and said, "Then I will thank you for staying with me in the hospital for a month and helping me hide from Uncle Li." “
"Don't talk about this between us." Zhao Qi continued to drink, and the more he drank, the more angry he became: "What kind of do you say, it's really bad luck." ”
Zhao Qi drank three bottles in a row, but the dishes rarely moved, and the whole person was staggering, and he suddenly hugged Lin Yuan's shoulder: "Do you know why I treat you as a brother?" “
Lin Yuan was a little interested, so he asked, "Why?" “
"Because you've never thought about my money." Zhao Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have lived so much, I can see clearly who is interested in my money and approaches me, and who really wants to be friends with me." ”
"Of course, those two are my eyes, no...... But that's all there is to it. ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, I know." ”
"The reason why I brought you that day was because of the incident on New Year's Day, and I saw you that day."
"You shouted at her not to die, I heard you."
Lin Yuan's heart twitched, and he asked jokingly: "Isn't it because of basketball?" ”
"You are actually a very friendly person, everyone was scared stupid at that time, only you dared to rush forward."
"So you want to help me bring that girl with you that day?"
Zhao Qi still wanted to drink, but Lin Yuan snatched his wine glass and said, "Do this today, if you want to drink it another day." ”
The takeaway boys are all gone, busy picking up night orders, and the migrant workers have also gone back to sleep and will have to go to work tomorrow.
The stall owner was still sweating and grilling, wiping his sweat and shouting: "Twenty skewers are good, which table?" ”
No one answered him, and when he looked back, almost all the people who ordered the barbecue table were gone, leaving only one person lying on the table and sleeping without paying attention, with tears on his face.
The stall owner looked at him, then took out a blanket from the car and covered the lonely customer, and continued to shout: "Twenty skewers, freshly baked, who wants?" ”
"I want it!" Zhao Qi raised his hand and replied loudly.
When the boss heard the sound, he took a closer look, and many of the dishes on the table had not moved, so he persuaded him: "You can't finish eating, can you?" If you can't finish eating, don't order it, it's a waste of money, isn't it? “
"Do I seem like someone who cares about that little money?" Zhao Qi said leisurely: "Do you care about money? If you care about you, sell me the skewers, and don't care if I finish it. I don't care about throwing away the skewers, don't think about selling them, no one will come again at this time. ”
The boss thought for a moment, and then said heartily: "Thank you!" He gently placed the skewers on the table and turned to clean up the mess left behind by the guests.
The back is lonely, but it is very firm, like a mountain that cannot speak.
"You taste very good, we'll come here often in the future!" Zhao Qi picked up a skewer, took a bite, and said with bared teeth.
The boss smiled back and went on to clean up the mess.
The lonely guest fell asleep, and the boss didn't call him.
After a while, everyone was gone, and only Lin Yuan, Zhao Qi, and the sleeping guest were left.
Zhao Qi got up to pay, Lin Yuan insisted on treating himself this time, and the money for wine and food was not much, so Zhao Qi didn't stop him.
Lin Yuan's table was 186, the boss only charged 150, and Lin Yuan gave 200.
He said, "You take it, it's what my friend meant, he has money at home." “
After speaking, he took out 300 and handed it to the boss: "This is that person, I don't know if it's enough, you take it, it's not enough." ”
The boss stretched out his hand, accepted the money tremblingly, and said after holding back for a long time: "Thank you, this money is enough, it's all too much." “
"If you have more, you will take it." Lin Yuan pointed to the blanket covering the man's body and said, "You deserve this money." ”
He turned around and sat back at the table, Zhao Qi laughed and said, "You know me too well!" ”
"But I don't know enough about it." Zhao Qi stood up slowly, walked to the boss, took out 500 from his bag and forcibly stuffed it into the boss's arms, and said: "After collecting the stall in a while, open a hotel for him, this money is enough, and it will humiliate you if you give more." ”
The boss was moved to tears, accepted the money and said, "Thank you!" ”
"Take your wife and go back to bed quickly, if you don't sleep well, the skewers are baked, I won't buy it next time." Zhao Qi waved his hand and walked away with Lin Yuan.
The boss picked up the skewers on Lin Yuan's table, took a bite, and found that it was mushy.
He looked up at them and saw them away, then turned back to his pickup van and opened the back door with a look of joy and emotion.
"Wife, I met a kind person today."
The back seat of the pickup van was converted into a small bed on which lay a woman, without legs.
With a smile on her face, she said softly, "I saw it all." ”
The two thin figures shook each other left and right, and the cars drove by the highway next to them with low beams, Zhao Qi didn't want to go when he was tired, and as soon as he stopped on the sidewalk, there were a few "eh" sounds from behind, Lin Yuan felt bad and hurriedly wanted to hide, Zhao Qi tightly pulled him and didn't let him go, Lin Yuan was desperate and was ready to be hospitalized again.
The battery car couldn't stop and was about to crash over, and the driver was decisive and sacrificed himself and hit his head on the telephone pole on the side of the road.
In an instant, the man turned on his back.
The girl stood up from the ground with big eyes, stared at the culprits Lin and Zhao brothers, stretched out her slender hand and said, "Lose money!" ”
Lin Yuan was timid in his heart, but his mouth was hard, and he said, "Won't you brake?" ”
The battery car was still spinning its wheels wildly on the ground, as if it was a wild horse that had never had a good time.
"Well, look at it." The girl pointed to the car that refused to look at it, then stretched out her hand again, shouting: "Hurry up and lose money!" ”
How can this be reasonable, you can ride a car without brakes, and blame others if something happens, Lin Yuan snorted and panted, and then silently took out the unspent 300 yuan from his pocket, and was just about to hand it over when Zhao Qi stopped him.
He said coldly, "Roll the calf." ”
The light of the street lamp was concentrated on the girl's pale face, she blinked, then her eyes widened, and she rushed up to grab Zhao Qi's collar, her mouth was on fire: "Do you think I touched porcelain?" ”
Zhao Qi was not afraid of danger: "That's what I mean." ”
The girl was furious, babbling and speechless, so she pushed Zhao Qi and stretched out her hand again: "It's good, I just touched porcelain, lose money!" ”
Lin Yuan trembled and hid to the side and didn't dare to mix, he felt that this girl really dared to hit people, and if she really wanted to fight, these two drunks were not necessarily her opponents.
Zhao Qi sat on the ground and laughed and said, "Is your true nature exposed?" He sighed: "You hit someone, my buttocks are comminuted and the fracture is about to die, lose money!" “
Knocking each other and deceiving each other is shameless, Lin Yuan pretended that he was just a passerby, and was about to smear oil on the soles of his feet and sneak away, the girl grabbed him and threw him to Zhao Qi's side, and unfortunately stepped on Zhao Qi's hand in the process.
"I changed my mind, if I don't touch porcelain, I'll rob!" The girl was swaggering, like the wife of the bandit mountain king.
Lin Yuan staggered, his mind dizzy, and he complained in his heart about the girl's cruelty and rudeness.
"Which school do you from?" Zhao Qi said with a hippie smile.
"Master Garrytown!" The girl did not forget her purpose, she approached step by step, the light in her eyes was flashed by the street lamp, he walked up to the two of them, and said, "200 does not bargain." The tattered wheels continued to turn, and no one dared to ride such a car, and the girl looked at the crooked handlebars and was about to cry in distress, and turned around to raise the price: "400." “
Zhao Qi took out his mobile phone and said, "Add my friend, and I'll transfer money to you." ”
The girl was suspicious, felt in her pocket and found that she didn't have a mobile phone, and her cheeks were crimson: "I...... I only accept cash. ”
"Tell me your name and I'll buy you a new one." Zhao Qi patted his buttocks, which was still a comminuted fracture just now, stood up from the ground very calmly, and approached the girl step by step, stepping on Lin Yuan's foot in the process.
Sensing the crisis, the girl hurriedly retreated, crossed her hands to protect herself, and stammered, "You...... What do you want? ”
Zhao Qi stood on tiptoe, lowered his head slightly to look at the girl, and said affectionately, "Be my girlfriend." ”
Shameless! It's shameless! Lin Yuan turned his head, and had already criticized Zhao Qi countless times in his heart.
said that you were single together, and you actually confessed so casually to the wife of the bandit mountain king!
Zhao Qi was full of alcohol, the girl was stunned, pushed Zhao Qi away and shouted: "Stinky rascal!" ”
She fled the scene, but found her car still struggling and turned back to pick it up.
Zhao Qi saw the stitches in front of her, and said, "I'm serious, I didn't drink too much." ”
The girl turned around and ran again, not even the car.
Zhao Qi didn't give up: "Hey! Why don't you go to school? ”
The girl stopped, turned around and cried: "Don't worry about it! ”
Lin Yuan looked at the girl's back and lost her mind, and her long braids swayed back and forth as she ran with her face covered. The oncoming headlights poured onto the pavement like a tide, and he saw the tears in the girl's eyes, crystal clear.
The wheels of the electric car were already turning a lot slower, Zhao Qi shook his head, and stepped forward blankly to turn off the power of the car.
On the ground next to it is a small paper bag wrapped in toilet paper from a roadside stall.
Zhao Qi leaned over and picked it up, opened it and saw that there was a stack of money inside.
Among these money, there are 50 yuan, 20 yuan, and even 5 yuan, which together is just 800 yuan, which is just the same amount as the amount of money that Lin Yuan's two brothers gave to the roadside stall owner.
This is the money they paid for the lonely guest.
Zhao Qi found that there was a piece of paper at the bottom of the money, and two words were written crookedly in pencil on the paper:
Thank you!
