After walking on the dirt path for fifteen minutes again, Gu Tao stepped on the bus back to the city with his bag and guitar and a map that had been marked, leaning against the window and listening to the ninja awesome with headphones plugged in.

Just when he closed his eyes to recuperate, the song in his headphones suddenly paused, and then cut the song into a very popular square dance Divine Comedy, and the sound quality was particularly explosive, but because he was lazy, he didn't care about these small details.

"Hold the grass, where's my phone!"

When he got to the place, Gu Tao subconsciously took out his mobile phone, but what he took out of his pocket was actually a broken MP3, which was the kind of magical antique machine that was more than ten years ago and had to be equipped with a No. 5 battery to start, and his headphone cable was plugged in, and there was hot luck in his ears.

He finally knew why he suddenly cut the song, he looked back at the bus just now, and gritted his teeth with resentment.

"So ......"

Although he was angry in his heart, he had to compromise with reality in the end, looked at the sky and sighed silently: "Luck really exists." ”

It's not a problem to lose the phone, after all, in this city, he only has a few friends, the dead fat man is one, and there are two guys who sing together in the underground passage, and the rest is probably left with a few food delivery brothers in a certain group and a few courier brothers in a certain way.

But that kind of low mood is really uncomfortable, how to describe it, frustration...... Yes, yes, frustration, that "why am I so useless" frustration.

With the last bit of money in his hand, he bought two sets of pancakes, stuffed one into his bag for lunch, and the other set was taken in his hand and sat on the curb and ate it slowly.

While eating, a dollar coin was thrown down in front of him, and he glanced up and saw the dashing back of a young lady with a bag on her back. When he saw this, he became irritable, stood up and shouted, "That young lady in front, you stop!" ”

The young lady who threw him money was startled by him and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Tao bent down and picked up the dollar: "You just insult me with this?" ”

"Right...... I'm sorry...... I thought you were an artist. The young lady's face immediately turned red: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble." ”

Gu Tao snorted coldly and put a dollar in his pocket: "I'll forgive you this time, and remember to start with five yuan next time." ”

After speaking, he slowly walked towards the first place where he recruited workers with his bag on his back, and when he was halfway through, he didn't forget to turn around and solemnly said to the young lady with a masked face: "Remember, next time you start with five yuan, what is one dollar enough for!" ”

Finally vented a little resentment on a kind-hearted stranger, Gu Tao's mood was a little better, and then pushed open the door of a restaurant, and looked inside to see a little girl sitting inside: "Sister, is this a trick?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll call the boss."

The little girl got up and walked into the back room, and after a while, a boss with a cigarette walked out, Gu Tao looked at it and hugged his hands: "Farewell!" ”

Boss: "??? ”

As for why I said goodbye, I just don't like the smell of smoke, is there a problem?

Carrying a bag and holding a map, at first glance he looks like a kind of poor traveler, of course, he is a serious poor traveler, not the kind of poor tourist who travels around by sleeping with others, Gu Tao thinks that the public security organs need to crack down on that kind of poor travel, how to define prostitution and prostitution? Anyway, that kind of poor travel is not much different from prostitution.

Following the signs on the map, Gu Tao came to a small alley and got into a small black shop, he just walked in and thought he had made a mistake, so he deliberately withdrew and took a look, the signboard did say "Hundred Years Old Store".

But it's a century-old store, but I can't tell it's a place to sell anything, it's dark and empty, there are a few wine jars in the corner, it looks quite ancient, and the bar is also the same style as the martial arts Gaiden, if it weren't for a computer with a screen still on the side, it's really a bit of a time and space travel.

"Anyone?"

"There is ......"

A weak voice came from the bar, and Gu Tao leaned over to take a look. Hey! There is really a person, but this kid looks a little decadent, lying on the computer keyboard, his hair is messy, and he looks like he hasn't woken up.

"Recruiting?"

"Looking for a job?"

asked in unison, and then the two confirmed their eyes and found that they were the same kind of people.

said that it was a recruitment, and the guy at the counter never stood up from beginning to end, just lazily raised his head and glanced at Gu Tao, and then wiped his face even if he was hired, and he didn't even ask his name.

And Gu Tao looked at this sloppy guy and felt very strange, how could a normal person wear a down jacket in this season?

"Well, I have a question." Gu Tao touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to eat and live?" ”

"Bag, all bag." The guy took out a bag of dog food from the counter: "It's the end of the month now, let's use this for a few days first." ”

Gu Tao stared at the packaging of the dog food, then reached out and took one out to taste it, and found that except for the taste was a little light, everything else was acceptable, and the grandson actually grabbed a handful and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Have you eaten breakfast, didn't you eat more, this thing is full." ”

"Oh." Gu Tao really grabbed a handful, and asked while eating like a melon seed, "Where do you live?" ”

"You just go up the stairs, why don't you take a look at the environment first?"

"Wait!" Gu Tao thought for a while: "Why are you so mixed up eating dog food, how can you pay your salary?" ”

"Won't it be the beginning of the month in two days, I'll go and collect the rent, and I'll pay you your salary first." The guy raised his head and said weakly: "I promise not to deceive people, let's pull the hook." ”

Who wants to hook up with you! Gu Tao dodged the guy's outstretched hand, and then walked up the stairs with his bag, and found that the second floor was a warehouse, and in the middle of the warehouse was a bunk with a pillow and a sleeping bag on the top, and a cardboard shell on the bottom.

Really, Gu Tao was shocked at the time, the first time he saw someone deal with his life like this, this scene was very similar to the situation of those heroes sleeping in the suburbs and breaking temples in martial arts movies, and it was almost a Lanruo Temple at the entrance of the warehouse.

He silently went downstairs and found that this person who was still the boss was pouring the dog food into a bowl, and then he didn't know where to get a dirty hot water bottle, poured the water into the dog food, and covered it with a lid. ”

Mommy...... This is simply a strange flower in the world, judging from his skillful posture and confident tone, this grandson is afraid that he has not eaten less dog food, right? Gu Tao looked at the half-eaten dog food in his hand, and silently refused: "I like dry chewing." ”

"That's okay, if you want to feel light, I have chili sauce here, you mix it."

Mix ...... Mix...... This is simply a magic sound, so Gu Tao quickly shook off the terrible overlapping words in his ears and coughed: "How much is a month's salary." ”

"One thousand two?"

Gu Tao turned around and left.

"Don't go, don't go, it's negotiable." The grandson hurriedly grabbed Gu Tao: "One thousand eight, pack food and stay!" ”

"Three thousand five."

"It's too high, then I'll have to eat this thing from the middle of the month." The Sun thief lifted the dog food and shook it in front of Gu Tao, and his eyes were really like dogs: "Or...... A little lower? ”

"You say."

"One thousand five?"

"Farewell!"

"Don't go!! Add a thousand! He almost hugged Gu Tao's thigh and begged: "Two thousand five!" ”

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Gu Tao sighed, for the sake of food and shelter...... Well, dog food is really terrible, although the taste is okay.

"Okay." Gu Tao hesitated again and again, and stretched out his hand to him: "Gu Tao." ”

"Xin Chen."

The two hands were clasped together and a consensus was reached.

Gu Tao is actually very helpless, this is probably the first time he has reached a consensus with this abnormal human in order to survive, but looking at this strange boss, he always has something to say unpleasantly: "It's not that I said, you are all mixed up like this, please someone." ”

"That's what I think." Xin Chen lay on the counter and got closer: "Look, I usually don't have much to do here, so I plan to find another person to come over and have nothing to do with me, isn't it more comfortable." ”

The reason is this truth, but there is no logic, but a person who treats dog food as a meal, it is very nonsense to talk to him about logic, so Gu Tao nodded in approval: "What are you doing in this century-old store?" ”

"Selling wine, my ancestor was a palace tribute wine back then."

"Where's the wine?"

"It's gone."

"And then?"

"I won't brew." Xin Chen looked up at the ceiling: "My dad eloped with a chicken before he could pass me the recipe, and my mom ran away with a big truck...... It was my mom who ran away with a big truck first, and my dad got together with the chicken. ”

Gu Tao pondered for a moment: "I think your parents' decision has a lot to do with you, but I think they didn't throw you away as an abandoned baby before the full moon, and they have done their best." ”
