Chapter 16: Don't Come Back

Xiaohui didn't seem to believe my words, and frowned slightly: "Psychiatrist? Do you still have such friends? ”

I smiled at her: "It's not a friend, some time ago, wasn't I in a bad mental state, and I only met him through introduction." But I have to say, this guy is really ...... It's like that, I guess it can help your second uncle. ”

No, every time I lie, I get slurred halfway through my words, and this time too.

Before Xiaohui noticed my abnormality, I quickly changed the subject: "Let's not eat cakes today, I'll take you to eat fish." ”

Xiaohui also showed a long-lost smile: "You just found a new job and you think you have money?" Wait until you've paid your salary, and then invite me to eat fish. ”

I glanced in the direction of Jinma Road and pursed my lips: "But I want to eat fish." ”

Xiaohui: "But I want to eat cakes, didn't we say okay, when we eat, I'll pick a place." ”

It seemed that she insisted on helping me save money, and I didn't insist anymore, so she pulled me all the way to the shop where the bacon flatbread was made.

Three fried pancakes with meat rolled, two cups of soy milk, and two small plates of pickles with mussels. That's what is on the table every time I ask Megumi.

This time was no exception, Xiaohui still picked a table by the window, and looked out of the window while eating.

She looked out the window at the people, and I looked at her.

For me at that time, the feeling of this thing, there is still a most primitive freshness and sweetness, that feeling, a bit like chilled mint tea, in the scorching summer sip, can make the whole person cool, but if you drink too much, it is easy to diarrhea.

I looked at Xiaohui intently, partly because I really liked looking at her like that, and partly because it was the end of school time, and a large number of students poured out of the school gate, so that the road directly opposite the school gate was overcrowded, and the situation was similar to that of the People's Square on Sunday, and I didn't like this scene very much.

Ten years ago, I once stood alone in the zoo, watching in horror the constant flow of people around me, for a whole few hours, I witnessed more and more people in the zoo, and witnessed fewer and fewer people in the zoo, and my heart became more and more frightened, until when my second uncle went to pick me up, I cried as soon as I saw him, crying in the dark.

Since then, I've been particularly fond of crowded places, and to be honest, I'm not afraid of a lot of people, but I'm afraid that the people around me will suddenly disperse and become fewer and fewer at a very fast rate, and every time I see this scene, I feel like I'm sinking into a pool of ice, and my heart, hands and feet become cold.

But I haven't told Xiaohui about this, she likes to sit by the window and watch the flow of people, I don't like to lean by the window, but I like to see her look out the window.

After eating, Xiaohui wanted to take me to the night market, but I still decided to go to see Boss Lu first, and before leaving, I made a promise to Xiaohui that I would definitely find a way to help with her second uncle's affairs.

The school is in the east of the city, and Boss Lu's furniture store is in the westernmost part of the old city, I took an hour's car ride, and when I returned to the furniture city, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Boss Lu's shop has closed, the door is closed, but the lights are still on in the windows.

I knocked lightly on the door twice, and the heavy footsteps of Boss Lu suddenly sounded in the store, and after a few seconds, the door was opened.

On the way back, I repeatedly thought about how to face Boss Lu, I had already made up my mind, as soon as I saw him, I would tell me about changing jobs, but when he appeared in front of me, I couldn't speak.

Boss Lu stood on the other side of the door, looked at me silently for a while, and said, "You came back tonight to say goodbye to me, right?" ”

My eyes widened and I looked at Boss Lu in a daze.

Boss Lu suddenly smiled at me: "Sun Chuansheng came to look for me, and he said that he found you a new job in the city." I asked him what kind of job he was, but he refused to say anything, and told me not to ask you, saying that it would be no good to ask too much. Hey, in fact, I didn't plan to ask, I know your temperament, although people are a little muddy, but you will definitely not touch the law and discipline, I am completely relieved of this. If you can find a good livelihood, I will be happy for you. ”

He said so much in one breath, and there was a taste of inconsistency between the lines.

To be honest, from the time I entered Lao Lu's shop to work until now, maybe it was because he was more compatible with me, maybe for some other reason, he has always been very good to me, and from him, I even felt a little warmth that only family has.

Now that I am about to leave this small shop, I may not even be able to see Boss Lu for a long time, and I am very reluctant.

Now that I saw him like this, I felt even more uncomfortable, and I could only whisper to him: "As long as I have time in the future, I will come back to you as a volunteer and help you for free." ”

At the end of the day, I gave him a big smile.

Boss Lu frowned: "If you can't get along outside, just get back, although we don't have good wine and good food to entertain you at home, but there are still porridge and pickles." ”

I was immediately happy: "Whoever is rare in your porridge and pickles, don't worry, when I come back to you, I will definitely bring good wine to honor you." ”

As soon as my voice fell, Boss Lu closed the door with a "clang".

I wondered, did I just say something that shouldn't have been said, which stimulated Boss Lu, why did I close the door without saying hello?

As I thought so, I heard the sound of splashing water overhead, and before I could react to what was going on, I felt a chill on the top of my head and shoulders, and I was drenched all over my body.

When I looked up, I saw the proprietress standing at the window on the second floor, wearing pajamas and holding a huge iron basin in her hand.

I raised my hand and wiped it on my face, shouting at the boss: "Boss, what are you doing here?" ”

Boss Lu didn't know when he rushed to the second floor, he got out of the window and laughed at me: "Hahahaha, you unlucky bastard is finally leaving, this basin of water will be splashed down, and the bad luck you left behind will also be washed away." ”

The proprietress also shouted at me: "Get out, don't come back in the future!" ”

Just now, Boss Lu still looked like he was reluctant to give up, why did he suddenly become like this.

I didn't think back for a moment, and they quickly closed the window while I was stunned.

I stood at the door of the store for a long time, until Boss Lu shouted again: "Let's go!" I grinned

Boss Lu and the proprietress are not ordinary human beings, I think Sun Chuansheng must have told them about me.

Let's go, don't be nostalgic.

Maybe this is what Boss Lu wanted to say, but he only said the first half of the sentence, and the last three words, but he didn't blurt out.

I shook the drops of water from my hair, took one last look at the second-floor window, and finally decided to turn away.

When I was about to walk out of the furniture city, I heard Boss Lu shouting behind me: "Don't come back if you don't mix well!" ”

I turned to look and saw him standing under the street lamp, waving his hand at me and signaling me to hurry up.

If you want to drive me away, why do you want to chase me out?

I wanted to turn back and give Boss Lu a big bear hug before leaving, but he didn't give me this chance, and before I could turn around, he went back to the store.

After coming out of the main entrance of the Furniture City, I wandered around the Furniture City for a long time, and it was not until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night that I returned to the rental house of less than five square meters.

This room is located between the ghost skewers and the furniture city, the rent is 200 per month, and the water and electricity bills are paid by myself, because I rarely come back, and the water and electricity are very small every month.

In fact, there are a lot of houses near the furniture city, in the zero six years, a lot of one-bedroom and a living room, with a separate bathroom of 30 square meters of small rooms, a month's rent is only three or four hundred yuan, I rented this house, it is indeed not cost-effective, the place is small, the toilet is still shared by several families.

But for me, such a house, can meet almost all my needs, because it is small enough, small enough to fit only a bed and a tiny wardrobe. Lying in bed every night, with all four walls in the room close to me, made me feel grounded.

After returning to the rental house, I was going to go straight to sleep, but I don't know what happened today, no matter what I planned in advance, it seems that someone will come to disrupt the situation.

Just as I was lying in bed, there was a knock on the door.

I looked at the hour hand on the wall clock and wondered, who would come and knock on my door so late?

Confused, I walked out the door and asked, "Who?" ”

Soon, there was a response from the corridor: "Open the door, I'm your neighbor!" ”

Neighbor? When did I have a neighbor, I remember that when I didn't go out with Boss Lu to deliver goods a few days ago, several rooms nearby were still empty.

And I could hear that the tone of the other party was very bad, obviously it was not good.

He spoke politely, and I had no need to be polite, so I shouted at the door: "I'm asleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" ”

The people outside the door shouted, "What's your name?" ”

I asked, "What's your name?" ”

The people outside were silent for a while before responding: "My name is Li Huaishan, and everyone in this area knows me." ”

, I've never heard of you.

I was a little impatient with him, so I took out the earplugs from under the pillow and was about to plug them, when he shouted outside, "Come out, let's talk!" ”

I shouted at the door, "Dude, look at what time it is, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

He shouted outside again: "What's the hurry, come out, let's talk first." I heard that last month, you beat up my two little brothers, come on, come out, come out to talk. ”

As soon as he said this, I knew what he was doing, shook my head helplessly, then put on my earplugs, covered my head with a pillow, and let him knock on the door so that I could breathe and soon fall asleep.
