"Welcome. .me" Behind the door stood a lovely girl, only about twenty years old. She had a sweet smile on her face, but the sweet smile made him feel uneasy, and he always felt that the smile hid a trace of coldness and playfulness.

"You, hello." Old man Li stammered and said hello.

The girl smiled even more happily, "Welcome, what do you want to buy?" ”

"This is the store?" Old man Li was surprised.

"This is a blank supermarket, and in the supermarket, you can buy everything." The girl pointed to her outfit: "I'm a supermarket shopping guide." ”

Under the guidance of the girl, Old Man Li walked into the door. This shop is very small, only more than fifty square meters, and there are not many shelves, but the goods on the shelves are sparse and strange, and Old Man Li doesn't understand what the use is in his eyes. It's strange that such a small shop is also called a supermarket, and the name is exactly the same as where I work! I'm afraid, there's weirdness.

Old man Li wanted to take a look at the girl, but he could see her revealing appearance, so he lowered his head embarrassedly and asked cautiously, "A week ago, did a girl named Zhou Hui come?" She's about your age and looks good when she smiles. ”

The shopping guide's eyes crossed a trace of weirdness, but the smile on his face did not ripple at all, "No." No one has been in the supermarket for a long time. So, what do you want to buy? ”

"What the hell are you selling here?" Old man Li asked.

"You can buy anything." The shopping guide smiled and didn't answer positively: "Tell me what you want most?" ”

Hearing this, Old Man Li was suddenly stunned. yes, what exactly does he want. Is it to cure oneself of the disease of premature aging? Or let Zhou Hui come back? Or money, power? Or, let others see themselves in the eye?

When he really thought about this problem, Old Man Li was very confused. He didn't know what he needed! He stood in place and thought about this question, and the shopping guide was also patient, waiting for him with an unchanged smile.

It took a long time for him to raise his head and reply with a wince, "Courage." I don't get angry, I don't have the guts to do anything. I want to learn to say no, I want to learn to get angry. I want courage. ”

Human beings, when faced with an opportunity to change themselves, not all of them will choose money and power. The more paranoid people are, the more difficult it is to guess their choices. Old man Li seemed to blame all his misfortunes on the flaws of his character, and in the face of such a multiple-choice question, he completely forgot the original purpose of coming in.

"You want courage? Want to learn to be angry? Interesting. The shopping guide smiled very happily, she walked to the shelf and took a bottle of potion, "Drink it, you will have courage." Your life will change. ”

It was a small bottle that could be held in the palm of your hand, and it contained a green liquid. It looks very strange through the white light of the supermarket. Old man Li didn't reach out to pick it up, but his embarrassed face flushed, "I, I didn't bring money today." ”

In fact, it's not just today, he basically doesn't have such a thing as money. Every month's salary was handed over to his wife on time, and he didn't have a penny of pocket money. There is not even a bus fare. So every day he spends at least four hours walking to and from work.

"No money is needed." The shopping guide said slowly.

"What does that take?" Old man Li blinked his dim eyes, "Do you want to give it away for nothing?" ”

"What is needed, you will know for yourself." The shopping guide urged, "You drink it, isn't this exactly what you need?" ”

Old man Li took the bottle and looked at the green liquid inside and hesitated. In the end, he laughed with a shriveled face, by the way, his life was originally full of despair, so what if there was poison in it. In short, he was cowardly and didn't have the courage to end his life, and if it was poison, it could be regarded as helping him fulfill his wish.

Thinking about it, he didn't know where to come out of nowhere, opened the cap, closed his eyes, raised his neck and poured the green liquid into his stomach. The liquid doesn't have any flavor and is like taking a mouthful of air into it.

Old man Li burped, and when he opened his eyes slightly, he found that the small shop was gone. Standing on the third floor of an empty blank supermarket, with your back against the wall of the lost children's heart and the loro counter. If it weren't for the fact that he was still holding a delicate glass bottle in his hand, it seemed to be made of crystal. He would have thought it was a dream.

Look at the watch on the opposite wall, it's already half past five, it's time to get off work. He shook his dazed head vigorously, and walked out of the door with heavy, slow steps as usual, and walked home.

Today's mood was inexplicably good, and he even hummed a minor tune through his nose. It took two hours to get home, and Old Man Li opened the door with the key and walked into the dimly lit room.

My home has only two rooms, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a wooden bathroom. Garbage and urine are discharged into that barrel. So there will always be an indescribable strange smell in the room.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a snarky voice yelling at me, "You useless guy, just die for me now." How come you don't get hit by a car on the road and die! Hurry up and make dinner. ”

It's his wife. Her crippled legs were lying limply on the bed, her back to him and cursing while watching TV.

Old man Li didn't move, he felt that Lu's good mood was disturbed, and he was a little angry. Angry! Yes, it's actually angry. I actually feel angry! The daytime is not a dream! He got excited.

"What are you doing! Didn't you hear you asked to cook? When his wife saw that he didn't move, her sharp and piercing scolding became even more violent, ", you useless dead man." I knew that you were ugly and had a bad personality. I won't marry you until I die. I really don't know what your parents did to give birth to a freak like you. ”

As she screamed and scolded, a trace of anger brewed in Old Man Li's stomach, and he felt like he had eaten something bad and wanted to excrete, and his anger also needed to find an outlet.

So his eyes began to look around for something.

His wife saw that he didn't reply as usual, and her unrelenting scolding was even more ugly. Finally, Old Man Li frowned and shouted, "Shut up!" ”

For a moment, the whole house fell silent. His wife turned her head to look at him in disbelief, as if her head couldn't react. The consciousness could not believe that those two words came out of the mouth of the cowardly man opposite.

Old man Li was also puzzled, was he angry just now? Did you really talk back just now? He touched his lips with his hand, as if to determine if his mouth had actually moved a few seconds ago.

The wife seemed to react, and suddenly cried with a 'wow', she picked up the pillows, scissors, and hangers on the bed, and threw them at Old Man Li. scolded louder, "It's the opposite, you're really the opposite." Divorce, tomorrow I will go to Old Man Zhou's house to live. ”

Old man Zhou is a real old man, in his fifties, who lives on the back street. It has always been rumored that he has an affair with his wife. As soon as he went to work, Old Man Zhou would go to his house to have a tryst with his wife and cuckold himself. In fact, it's not just rumors, he has also encountered it many times. It's just that with Old Man Li's cowardly character, he naturally didn't dare to say anything, and even when he bumped into him, he only dared to close the door gently, wander around the street by himself, and leave the house to two people. Since then, his wife and Old Man Zhou have become even more unscrupulous.

But today is a little different. He felt that when his wife mentioned Old Man Zhou, the unfamiliar anger in his stomach became even stronger. Old man Li silently walked into the kitchen and took a sharp knife, stabbing at his scolding wife. Every time I prick it, I feel more comfortable.

Finally, the wife's voice completely disappeared in the room. She was covered in knife holes, and her eyes were long. It seems that he is still in disbelief when he is dying, and he doesn't believe that it was the cowardly and timid husband who killed him.

Old man Li sat on the edge of the bed gasping, and he felt indescribably happy in his heart. He found a sack and stuffed the body under the bed. Leisurely humming a little tune and making dinner.

The next morning, at half-past six, he made breakfast and lunch, as usual, and poured them into the bag of corpses. Then I walked to the blank supermarket.

In the food section on the first floor of the supermarket, the fat woman Zhao Yan waited for him like every day before, wanting to vent her anger. But today, she suddenly found that Old Man Li was a little different. His ugly face had a vague smile.

"You waste, you ......" She felt that she couldn't scold, looking at Old Man Li's face, her tongue was actually knotted. Old man Li's eyes were very cold when he looked at her, although his facial expression was still humble, and he looked like he was submissive. But Zhao Yan had a strange illusion, as if the punching bag in front of her was no longer the object of her casual insults.

"You, you." Zhao Yan stammered, and Old Man Li had already passed through her and walked towards the elevator on the fourth floor. Before leaving, he unconsciously glanced left and right at the supermarket.

I shuddered when I suddenly came into contact with his gaze. Today's old man Li has a stubborn confidence in his eyes, it's unbelievable!

At noon that day, the fat woman Zhao Yan died in the supermarket. She died very closely, falling from the escalator on the second floor, not only breaking her neck, but also hitting the trolley. The handle of the trolley pierced Zhao Yan's heart, and bright red blood flowed all over the ground.

Zhao Yan's facial expression was mixed, and it seemed to contain everything. There was shock, there was fear, and there was even a hint of incredibleness.
