The four of them came out of the hospital together, and it was already dark.

The moon drove the sun away and hung high in the night sky, dotted with a few stars in the deep blue night sky.

Although there is no scorching sun during the day, the summer nights are hotter than the day due to the inverse radiation of the atmosphere.

Lu Sheng was going to work part-time at a food stall, so he said goodbye to them.

Li Huai said: "Don't be too tired of doing part-time jobs, Ah Sheng, ask us for help if you have anything." ”

Zhou Jisi said: "Brother Sheng, if you need money, I can give you the pocket money in my little pig." ”

Chen Ningjin nodded on the side.

"Long-winded, go back quickly." Lu Sheng's heart was moved.

When he was in the ward just now, Lu Sheng felt unwell and his head was a little dizzy, and Lu Sheng guessed that it was the sequelae of heat stroke. While he was going to wash the fruit, Lu Sheng bought a bottle of Huo Xiang Zhengqi Pill in the hospital and stuffed it into the pocket of his pants.

The dim light could not dispel the darkness in the alley. There seemed to be danger surging in the darkness.

Lu Sheng opened the package of Huo Xiang Zhengqi Pill, twisted the lid, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them directly, with a bitter feeling in his mouth.

The alley was dark from the top to the end, and the streetlights flickered from time to time.

A rush of footsteps sounded from behind Lu Sheng, getting closer and closer.

Lu Sheng turned around and saw two or three men with sticks coming towards him.

The moment the stick fell, Lu Sheng dodged like lightning and kicked the first person in the abdomen with lightning speed, and the tall body of the person flew straight out.

Immediately after that, the second person and the third person raised their sticks and rushed towards Lu Sheng, who was unsteady and retreated.

The discomfort came up, Lu Sheng felt dizzy, and his hands and feet suddenly became weak.

Unexpectedly, there were also people in ambush at the end of the alley. The fourth person took advantage of the brawl to sneak behind Lu Sheng and smashed Lu Sheng's back with a stick. The fourth person didn't dare to smash Lu Sheng's head, the boss just said to teach Lu Sheng a lesson, not to put people to death.

Lu Sheng snorted, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground, his arm was scratched by the concrete floor, and he scraped a few long cuts, and blood gushed out.

The three people took advantage of the situation and smashed down with sticks, Lu Sheng hugged his head with both hands, and screams of pain rang out in the alley.

When Brother Lu and his wife Millet were passing by the alley, they heard the sound of a fight and knew that there was a fight in the dark alley.

Brother Lu didn't want to take care of it, but the kind-hearted Xiaomi asked him to take a look.

Brother Lu yelled on the other side of the alley: "If you don't leave, I'll call the police!" "The voice is powerful and powerful.

As soon as the four of them heard the voice of an adult, they immediately ran towards the end of the alley, anyway, they also taught Lu Sheng a lesson, and they were able to give an account to the boss.

The alley is quiet again.

Brother Lu took Xiaomi's hand, walked to Lu Sheng's side, and looked at Lu Sheng condescendingly: "Boy, are you okay?" Can you get up? ”

Lu Sheng's breathing was weak and rapid, he cheered up, propped himself up, stood up, and shook his body.

"Thank you for your help, I'm fine." Lu Sheng said in a weak voice, raising his eyes to look at the man in front of him.

In the deep darkness, the man's figure stood tall there, the dim light flickered, and in the shadows, Lu Sheng saw Brother Lu's appearance clearly.

The most striking thing is a slender scar on the left side of Brother Lu's face, which makes the originally soft face look hideous. This scar seems to hide too much bloody story.

"It's okay, don't learn to fight on the street at a young age, you will be the one who suffers in the end." After Brother Lu finished speaking, he led his millet to the end of the alley.

Before leaving, Xiaomi also glanced at Lu Sheng who was hidden in the dark, and she whispered to Brother Lu: "That boy is a little pitiful. ”

Brother Lu snorted from his nose and expressed his disdain for such a thing as not learning good and learning bad.

Lu Sheng rested for a while with his hands on the wall, and then walked out of the alley with great difficulty.

Lu Sheng can't go to work part-time tonight.

Across the alley, there are several brisk food stalls on the opposite side. When night falls, when the lights are on, there are people who set up food stalls, and more than 100 tables and chairs are lined up, which is spectacular under the bright lights. The food stalls are mainly engaged in small stir-fry, snacks, barbecue, etc., which are of high quality and low price, and the consumption is not high, and most diners flock to it. The sound of people chatting, the sound of persuading to drink, and the sound of clinking wine glasses are all mixed together, boiling the sky.

Brother Lu took Millet to a food stall with a good environment, and after the two sat down, Brother Lu ordered a few of her favorite dishes for Millet.

Xiaomi said mischievously: "Brother Lu, you don't have to drive tonight, you can have a few more drinks." ”

"It's you who are tired after drinking too much." Brother Lu looked at his wife with an ambiguous look.

Xiaomi's face flushed, and she was so shy that she stammered: "Brother Lu, you... You're not serious! ”

"Why am I not serious? Tell me? Brother Lu smiled evilly.

"Ignore you!" Xiaomi's face was red and dripping blood, and those indescribable sweet images always came to mind.

Seeing that Millet was so shy that she was about to find a crack in the ground to get into, she immediately put away her evil smile and said with a serious smile: "Okay, I won't tease you, what I'm talking about is that I drank too much, if I vomit, don't you clean it up?" I don't want to tire you down. Raise your head, your favorite dish is served. ”

Brother Lu looked at millet with a doting face, raised his hand and touched Xiaomi's head, then picked up some chopsticks and put some vegetables in the bowl, carefully picked out the ginger shreds in the dish, and finally put the bowl in front of Xiaomi, and picked out the spines in the fish, and then clamped it to Xiaomi.

Looking at Millet's satisfied face when eating, Brother Lu felt that there was nothing happier in the world than this, she happened to be by your side, and while loving her, she also loved you.

Halfway through eating, Millet inadvertently raised her eyes and saw a familiar figure - the boy who had been beaten just now.

He bowed several times in succession to a bearded man standing in front of him, and as if he were apologizing, he spoke.

Xiaomi was curious and asked Brother Lu, who was sitting beside him: "Brother Lu, the boy I met in the alley just now is with Brother Fan." ”

Brother Lu followed Xiaomi's line of sight, and also saw the picture that Xiaomi had just seen, the man was the owner of this food stall, and Brother Lu knew him. Brother Fan patted the boy on the shoulder, the boy nodded, and then the boy left the food stall.

Brother Lu retracted his gaze, put his right palm on his wife's head, and pressed it gently, asking Xiaomi to lower his head and look at the food in front of him, "Leave him alone, look at the food in front of you, eat quickly." ”

Millet put away her curiosity and lowered her head to concentrate on eating food. Brother Lu looked at Xiaomi with a doting expression.

When Brother Lu shouted to pay, Brother Fan came over with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Ah Lu, you haven't come to me for so long, why didn't you tell me when you came?"

The two used to have a deep relationship and called each other brothers.

Brother Fan nodded to Xiaomi again.

"Brother, if you tell you that you give us a free order, you don't do business because you do it, you will lose money."

"Give it to your brother and sister and never lose anything." Brother Fan laughed heartily.

"Just give us a discount, you don't need to get a free order, I'm not out of money."

Xiaomi also agreed with Brother Lu's words and nodded violently.

"Okay, okay, just have a good time."

"Brother Fan, do you know the injured boy just now?" Xiaomi is still worried about the scarred boy in her heart.

"Which one?" Brother Fan thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Ah-you mean Lu Sheng, I know each other, I worked part-time here during the winter and summer vacations before...... A very diligent guy, but tonight he seems to have encountered something, he was beaten by others, and he asked me for leave if he was not feeling well", he suddenly laughed, "Now these teenagers don't study well...... However, I think this terrestrial is still a good guy. The boss paused and apparently ended the topic.

Xiaomi would love to continue asking about this boy.

However, Brother Lu opened his mouth before her.

"How?"

"Originally, I had enough manpower here, and I didn't plan to recruit temporary workers during the summer vacation, the kid said that he was in a hurry to ask for money, saying that his mother had surgery some time ago, and the family's money was only enough to pay half of the medical expenses, and I also sent someone to check, it was true, and his family was a single-parent family, and he and his mother depended on each other. I saw that he was in trouble, so I recruited him. This kid is indeed very diligent and serious, and he is unambiguous in his work. ”

"Brother, how do you treat temporary workers here?"

"Where is the treatment of temporary workers, working here is tiring and has little money."

After hearing this, Brother Lu thought thoughtfully, "Why don't you let him go to work in my store?" ”

"Haha, of course this is good, a night at your bar is much more than a day at my bar, alas, I also hope that I don't put the burden of life on the children, but let them do something meaningful in their youth...... We are all from the past, and we all know how important a person's youth is. Brother Fan remembered his lost youth and suddenly sighed.

"Yes, how ridiculous youth is, how much I regret it now, it's okay, it's not too late to rein in the precipice...... "Fortunately, I can meet the most important person in this life for the rest of my life, Brother Lu also sighed and looked at Xiaomi gently.

Xiaomi also gave Brother Lu a sweet and gentle smile back.

Before leaving, Brother Lu handed a business card to Brother Fan, asked Brother Fan to hand it over to Lu Sheng, and asked Lu Sheng to come to him according to the address on the business card.

Taking advantage of the cool breeze of the summer night, Brother Lu and Xiaomi walked home holding hands all the way.

"Are you going to help this boy named Lu Sheng?"

"The only thing I can do is to provide him with a job that pays well, although it is a little harder, but there is nothing in the world that does not work, it is all dependent on his own efforts."

"Brother Lu, you are a kind person." Millet said with a smile.

"I'm just infected by your kindness...... Before I left the organization, someone said to me, 'People in the underworld are like tissues stained with ink, and delusional bleaching is a joke', and this sentence fell apart after I met you. You are a good girl with a good heart and understanding, the girl I love the most, thank you for coming to me and saving me. ”

Listening to Brother Lu's words, Xiaomi cried, was so moved, and said with a crying smile: "Thank you for coming to me and making me happy." ”

The two embraced happily under the twinkling stars.

The stars bear witness to their undying love.
