Chapter 25: Good Things Happen Hard
'Bang' The sound of scattering coins sounded, and Lin Lu heard a prompt from the mobile phone under the slate that it had arrived.
Fruits and animals are drawn in a circle on the roulette wheel, and in the middle it is written - half a spin does not count as paying the money first
Lin Lu really half-turned when he was a child, and he had an impression of this.
The old man saw Lin Lu staring at the lines of words on the roulette wheel, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, you've turned empty, let you turn again."
Lin Lu tucked down his drooping hair, raised his eyes and smiled, "I'm lucky, I can't." ”
The old man smiled.
And the fact is that it was so well done, Lin Lu was the first to turn empty.
“……”
The old man said, "One more time." ”
Lin Lu rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly and exhaled.
She bent over, her index finger flicked quickly, the hands on the roulette wheel spun rapidly, and she said 'Phoenix' in her heart.
When the roulette wheel slowly stopped, and the arrow pointed at the butterfly, she pursed her lips and smiled, but fortunately she didn't half spin.
Pointing to the wheel, "Butterfly." ”
The old man began to make butterflies for Lin Lu, with his wrists strained, with a spoon as a substitute for the pen, and the sugar painting fluttered vividly on the white stone slab.
"Uncle, how many years have you been doing this craft?" Lin Lu began to inquire.
The old man's subordinate Lisuo replied: "It's been almost forty years." ”
"Then you are Gui Geng this year?"
"Two out of seventy."
"Not really." Lin Lu's eyes were clear, "Have you been setting up a stall here?" ”
The uncle picked up the bamboo skewer and pressed it on the sugar painting, and compacted the bamboo skewer with a flat shovel, "Yes, I have been sitting on the ground for a long time, and I rely on this craft to support my family." ”
Lin Lu looked at him, "I'll ask you about someone, do you know each other?" ”
"Who?" The old man looked at her suspiciously.
When Lin Lu said this person's name, his heart was very calm.
"Zhao Han, a soldier, used to always come to you to buy sugar."
The old man handed the sugar painting to Lin Lu, muttering the name Zhao Han in his mouth, and Lin Lu reminded him of another point in time, "It can be more than 20 years ago." ”
"More than twenty years ago......" the old man muttered to himself, frowning.
Lin Lu helped him recall, "In the past, was there a garrison unit in the mountain behind the ancient city. ”
"Yes," the old man affirmed.
Lin Lu's eyes brightened, "He's in that unit." ”
His mother told Lin Lu that his father was a soldier and was in the army at the foot of the mountain behind the ancient city, but when Lin Lu was walking around the ancient city yesterday, he heard from the boss who bought the iron plate squid that the troops had been withdrawn very early, and some of the remaining soldiers had been sent to the localities, some had been reorganized and assigned to other units, and some had returned to their hometowns after receiving discharge pay. In short, there is no way to find people who are scattered.
However, Lin Lu heard her mother say that there were not so many snacks back then, and she was not interested in sending flowers, so Lin Lu's father took advantage of the gap between coming out to purchase military supplies to bring Lin Lu's mother the sugar in the ancient city, and brought it back and forth.
Lin Jingwen asked Lin Lu to ask the uncle who sold sugar paintings first to see if he could know.
She thought, maybe after a long time, he didn't remember Zhao Han anymore.
After a while, the old man stretched his eyebrows and said, "It seems to be ...... There is such a person. ”
Lin Lu hurriedly asked, "Where did he go, do you know?" ”
The old man shook his head, "I don't know. ”
Lin Lu straightened up and looked at the dark clouds covering the sky, yesterday it was clear that people were killed in the sun, and today it is sticky with a cloudy tide and a wet tide, black clouds are rolling, and heavy rain is coming.
It seems that this is a good thing to grind.
She turned around and just left, when the old man suddenly stopped her, "Girl, wait." ”
