According to the rules, Aoki is not allowed to casually divulge customer information to others. But Ma Fuqing didn't say more than ten words from beginning to end, and Aoki didn't have time to do anything, so he ran away. At this time, Ma Fuqing was not a customer of Aoki.

Aoki and Ma Fuqing have nothing to do with each other, so naturally they won't bother with his affairs, but Ma Fuqing just threw down a red envelope, which made Aoki have to do something, and it happened that Hu Xing was next to him, so Aoki reminded Hu Xing to check the case file. Regardless of whether it is found or not, it is considered to have fulfilled its obligations.

Aoki threw the red envelope to the proprietress who was busy behind the bar and said, "Let's pay half a month's rent first." ”

Bi Shenghua took the red envelope, put it in his hand, and mocked: "Yo, it's really a good mallet!" ”

Aoki took out the cigarette box and wanted to smoke, but when he found that the box was empty, he crumpled it into a ball, and with a flick of it, the paper ball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the trash can in the corner.

Bi Shenghua took a pack of Paramount from the cigarette cabinet, threw the cigarette and the red envelope to Aoki, and said, "You better keep it first, don't starve to death in my house one day, I can't afford it." ”

Aoki was not hypocritical, and said with a smile: "There will be a big business soon, and when I have the money, I will help you eat all the shops next door and open the Ruhua Bar into the largest bar in this area." ”

Bi Shenghua said disdainfully: "Fill your own stomach first." Waiting for you to make money? My bar's business is early! ”

Aoki opened the cigarette box, pulled out a cigarette, expertly flicked the top cover of the Pont lighter, and lit the fire.

The crisp and melodious sound of metal echoes in the quiet barroom.

The proprietress who was wiping the wine bottle with her head down suddenly raised her head, stared at Aoki for a few moments, snatched the lighter, and said, "Yo, high-end goods!" Who sent it? The policewoman? ”

She played with her fingers a few times, and sneered: "I can't see it, it's still an upside down sticker!" You asked someone to give you such an expensive lighter, why didn't you let her help you pay the rent? ”

"Is it expensive?"

"More than ten thousand."

Aoki was startled, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "That...... Or, this is for you, to pay the rent? ”

Bi Shenghua slapped the lighter on the bar with a "snap": "Who wants your broken lighter!" A smell of squirrence! ”

After she finished speaking, she snatched the red envelope again and said, "I have collected the money, let's say okay first, the rent is calculated separately, this is at most your food expenses for this month." ”

……

At seven o'clock, the Ruhua Bar opened its doors and was ready to open. The waiter carried the tables, chairs and benches to the door and lined them up.

There is a small stage in the middle of the lobby directly opposite the main door. A girl sets up a microphone on stage and begins to tune the guitar in her hand.

Spend your life behind the bar. She's the hostess here and the bartender.

There are several such traditional small bars in Liuying Lane.

Due to the early hours, there were no guests in the bar.

Aoki was bored leaning on the bar and sipping a cold beer.

He looked at the girl who played the guitar and asked Bi Shenghua, "New here?" ”

Bi Shenghua said: "Yes, college student, come here for a part-time job." ”

The girl sat in a high chair, tried a few guitar notes, and then began to sing. She sang a ballad first, Aoki hadn't heard it, but she felt that her voice was not bad, and there was an indescribable sadness in her voice.

Aoki said to Bishenghua: "I'm afraid it's not okay to sing like this, I can't control the scene." ”

Bi Shenghua said: "A few brothers in the band have something to do and can't come, so they will come to the rescue temporarily." ”

Aoki glanced at the girl a few more times, just opposite the girl's eyes.

There was an inexplicable hollowness in the girl's eyes, as if she had lost her soul.

Bi Shenghua said: "Why don't you take the coal boss down to perform a show in a while, can it be regarded as saving the scene?" ”

Aoki hurriedly raised his hand in surrender: "Forget it, I'd better go out for a yo-yo." ”

He drank the foam from his glass, walked to the back hall and shouted upstairs, "Go shopping—" and walked out the back door of the bar.

As soon as I arrived on the street, there was a loud bang overhead, and the coal boss flapped his wings and flew over.

Aoki stretched out his arm and whistled like those Iizushi who played with eagles, intending to let the crow stop on it.

A few girls on the street saw it and exclaimed, "Wow, so handsome!" Is this an eagle? ”

Ignoring Aoki's arm, the coal boss stopped at Aoki's chicken coop with a big grin, and scratched his head a few times with his claws.

"Can't you save me some face?"

Aoki reluctantly withdrew his arm and shrugged at the girl next to him, which means that you now know why my hair is so messy.

As soon as the coal boss stopped, he shouted: "Shopping, shopping!" ”

"Wow, it can talk!" A few girls excitedly came over to tease the coal boss.

Who knew that the coal boss raised his arrogant head and ignored them.

Disappointed, a girl put the grilled sausage in her hand in front of the crow's mouth: "I'll give you food when you speak." ”

The coal boss stretched out his black neck, pecked at the roasted sausage, and then tilted his head and shouted: "Beauty, beauty!" ”

The girl screamed with excitement, and the other girls followed suit, taking out the snacks in their pockets and giving them to the coal boss.

There is a crow on your head, her scalp is scratched by the claws of a bird, and there is a group of girls around you, who are sending food to you, but not for you. Aoki felt that he was not having a pet, but being kept as a pet.

The girl who was the first to give the crow sausage timidly asked, "How much do you have for this bird?" Can you sell it to me? ”

The girl next to her also said: "Yes, yes, I want to buy it too, it's so cute!" I can't hold it anymore! ”

An old man who happened to pass by reminded: "These little girls don't know that this is an old eagle, unlucky." ”

The girl said, "That's all superstition, I don't believe it!" ”

The old man shook his head and walked away.

A few girls chattered around Aoki, wanting to buy the coal boss.

At this time, Aoki heard the haughty voice of an unfamiliar woman behind him:

"Do you know how much this raven is worth? Can you afford it? ”

Aoki turned around and saw a woman wearing a blue suspender belt and a purple skirt, carrying a small bag with the word LV printed on it. If you want to say that she is beautiful, whether she looks or has a figure, this woman is impeccable, but she can't hide the smell of wind and dust all over her body, so that Aoki thinks of the hair salon girls standing under the neon lights in the alley next to her.

The girls were stunned for a moment, and then said unconvinced: "How do you know we can't afford it?" ”

The woman didn't even look at the girls, only stared at the coal boss on Aoki's shoulder, just like a stone gambler saw the imperial green.

"Plateau ravens are already rare, and there are tens of thousands of chicks, not to mention that they have grown so big and are so well-behaved, and they can talk."

Several girls stuck out their tongues, although they were not angry with the arrogance of the women, but they had no choice but to walk away disappointed.

Aoki turned his head to look at the coal boss on his shoulder and said, "Ha, so you are so valuable!" It's not in vain that I picked you up and raised you! ”

The woman smiled disdainfully: "It turned out that I picked it up!" I said, "Anyone can raise ravens now!" But it's not easy for you to train it to be like this. ”

She said as she unzipped her LV bag and took out two wades of cash, "Twenty thousand, I want this bird." ”

Aoki didn't go to pick up the money, nor did he pay attention to the woman, but lifted the bird off his head, grabbed the bird's neck and warned: "If you say it's okay, don't scream when you come out, but now it's causing trouble, right?" If you talk nonsense again, I'll tell Ruhua about you stealing fish from the fish tank. ”

"Oh-oh-" The coal boss snorted his cheeks very reluctantly, but he still honestly squatted on Aoki's shoulder and didn't speak.

The woman snorted coldly, took out a wad of money from her bag, and said, "Thirty thousand." ”

Aoki looked at the sky and said to the crow on his shoulder, "It's not too early, Ruhua should be busy, let's go back and have a look." ”

After he finished speaking, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, pulled the board, and walked away on the ground.

The woman stood awkwardly on the street with money in her hand, her pretty face covered with pink turned blue with anger.

The evening breeze blows, and the bills rattle......
