The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

At dusk, under the peeling paint of the gate, the admiring diners clinged to the "temporarily closed" sign at the door, and confirmed each word several times before leaving in disappointment.

"Maybe there's something urgent at the boss's house, so I'll go back for a few days?" Someone speculated.

"How is it possible, I remember that the boss's family didn't live in the back building, and they had been dependent on the boss and the lady? How big of a problem has happened to him, and he can't even walk these two steps? The other man shook a fan, looking not very happy, "Yesterday he promised to leave me the coolest spot, I brought my friends, but why are they gone?" ”

A street away, porters are hurrying to pack their petty luggage. In the small courtyard, the woman squatted under a small apple tree and watered the flowers that bloomed just right one last time.

"It's almost time." A middle-aged man with gray temples patted her on the shoulder, "You see if there is anything else you need to bring, and we'll clean it up." I'll have to return the keys to the landlord later. ”

“…… Do you have to go? "The woman looked to be in her thirties, not quite the same generation as her husband. She gently wiped her tears with her cuffs, "The two of us have been together for so many years, and it was not easy to clean up a decent home." Look at the flower, this tree...... The two of us went to the market to pick them up and watched them grow taller and taller. We haven't eaten the apples we grew ourselves, so why are we going to leave again? ”

"It's that I can't stop you." The middle-aged man slowly squatted down beside her, sighed and said, "Can ...... You heard the news that came during the day. If I had a choice, I certainly wouldn't want to give up here, and I wouldn't want to lose my trust to those regular customers forever. However, if there is real chaos in the city, I can't watch you give up your life for this! ”

"At the end of the day, it's my fault." The woman grasped his rough palm in an awkward position, "If it weren't for me, how would you be living such a life of no fixed place and ready to flee for your life at any time?" I shouldn't have ...... if I knew I was going to cause you so many bad things to suffer."

"Don't say stupid things." A gentle smile condensed in the layers of wrinkles at the corners of the man's eyes. He spread out his palms and gently rubbed the faded scar between the woman's fingers, "I'm a person with no ability, in addition to making a few dishes that I can barely handle, I can't pick up my shoulders on weekdays, and I often make some small mistakes." If it weren't for your tireless care over the years, I might have been killed in a corner by someone I don't know where I would have been 800 years earlier. Flash Dance. If only I could inherit my mother's abilities, and whoever dares to say that yours is not, I dare to teach him a lesson right away! But now, I can only take you around to endure hardships and teach you how to hide your identity in front of humans, as if you are ashamed of being the 'six fingers'! ”

"Shhhh The woman's clear gray eyes revealed some panic. She reflexively covered the man's mouth and said in a low voice, "We're going to move to a new place soon, and the surroundings and the crowd are all new. You and I have no way of knowing what our future neighbors will think of these sensitive matters, so from now on, let's never mention those two words again! ”

The man replied solemnly, looked at his wife's appearance that had not changed over the years, and said with a sigh: "Maybe wait a few more years, when I introduce you to the outside world, I should say that you are my 'daughter'." lest those people look at me so strangely, as if my old cow were eating tender grass......"

"What kind of stupid thing are you talking about, if you dare to change my rank so much, I have to-"

Before the woman finished speaking, she saw the workers who had been busy all afternoon waving at them outside, and urged in a rough voice: "It's not early, if all the valuables are ready, you two should hurry up and set off with us." I'm afraid that the later it drags on, the harder it will be to get out of the city. ”

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and return the key, and thank the landlord again. Coming right away. The man nodded at him, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Also, to be on the safe side, it's best to ask your wife to take a moment of grievance and move a bench to sit in the back container with the goods. It's a bit hot and it can be a little stuffy inside, so you'd better get some water for her. The head of the workers, who was obviously used to doing this kind of thing, explained with a comfortable expression, "You know, the police have been getting stricter and stricter when they have been out of the city lately. ...... like Mrs. It's better to be careful. ”

"You can arrange it." The woman bowed slightly to him.

Ten minutes later, the wooden shelves covered with vines, the apple trees that had just bloomed, and the high and low rose hedges, along with some unfading memories, were temporarily sealed up by a large rusty lock. Waiting to be opened again by the owner of the yard, or abandoned forever.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Qiu Pingning, wearing an overly bright yellow shirt, swaggered into the gate of the police station. Combined with the shape of his hands in his pockets with a cigarette in his mouth, it doesn't look like he's coming to work at all, but like he is serving a prison sentence at the door. 35xs

However, the young man on duty at the door seemed to be very accustomed to it, and after glancing at him distractedly, he continued to stare at the tablet in his hand, with a bitter expression as if he hadn't eaten for a day.

"Here, I know you don't like to eat from the cafeteria." Qiu Pingning put his hand carrying the plastic bag into the window and said with a smile, "The first Malatang in the street, I queued for half an hour, you want to get my love." ”

"Malatang? Thank you, Brother Qiu! Xiao Young instantly smiled, and hurriedly touched out a pair of chopsticks, "I know that you have always been the most interesting!" It's like the deputy captain of the guard, who don't eat in the cafeteria all day long, so they pinch the food standard lower and lower! ”

"Poof, you can complain and complain to me in private about this kind of thing, but don't say it in front of the deputy captain of the guard." Qiu Pingning slapped him on the top of his head lightly, "The bureau has been tight recently, and even my overtime pay last time is still being paid, and I don't know if something happened......

"Don't say it, I think Vice Captain Wei looks particularly wrong today." Xiao Young sucked the fans and pointed to the inside of the office building with his left hand, "When I entered the door in the morning, I somehow caught someone and scolded whom, as if everyone owed him money." ”

Qiu Pingning was a little unimpressed, "When people reach menopause, their temper is a little unstable." Let's understand more. ”

"I don't think so." The little young god said mysteriously, "Since he entered the door this morning, he hasn't come out until now. You know him, the person who talks about his wife and children all day long, even has to go back to tutor homework during lunch break, although he always urges us to work, but there are a few times when he personally works overtime. ”

"That ......"

"Perhaps, as you said, something really happened that was difficult to solve." Xiao Young picked up the paper bowl and blew it, and drank a mouthful of oil with satisfaction, "If I wasn't dazzled, those backbones in the bureau haven't gone home today, maybe they were caught by the deputy captain of the guard for a small meeting." ”

As soon as Qiu Pingning stepped into the corridor, the light above his head flashed suddenly. He glanced up, only to nearly run head-on into another man who was coming straight at him like a bull.

"Vice-Captain of the Guard?" Seeing that extremely bad face, Qiu Pingning was really surprised, "Why are you still here at this time...... Running around? ...... in a hurry to get home? His gaze quickly fell on the thick stack of papers in the other party's hand, and he changed his words, "It seems that it should not be." ”

Wei Changbin was a little calm, and immediately backhanded the documents on his chest, with beads of sweat on his face that he didn't have time to wipe off, and said palely: "It's been delayed for a long time during the day, and there are still some chores that haven't been done." ”

"Oh, you've worked hard." Qiu Pingning saluted him crookedly, and then yawned, half deliberately and half fakely, "Then I'll go to the office first." Don't be in such a hurry, be careful of wrestling, what documents can you do to run errands underneath? ”

"It's okay, by the way." Deputy Captain Wei's face was always a little stiff, and he quickly changed the topic and asked, "What about Ling Shucheng?" Hasn't he reported today? ”

"Don't worry, he's very honest and never arrives late or leaves early when he needs to go to work." Qiu Pingning took it naturally, "He won't come today." The two of us discussed it privately, and we couldn't let him, a non-regular employee who was still in the recovery period, be like me all year round. In addition, his work and rest are very regular, he usually doesn't stay up late, and there is usually nothing important, so I put him home in the middle of the night...... You think that's fine, right? ”

"You didn't just put him home, I'm afraid you're lazy yourself. What did I tell you before, night shift, even if you haven't received a report yet, except for the police, you must not leave the office an inch......" Wei Changbin seemed to be really in a bad mood, and by the way, even he was counted, "In the past, I turned a blind eye because the city was indeed relatively peaceful, but there have been so many major and minor incidents recently, you still dare to be lazy?" Also, I've said a few times, don't smoke in the office area! ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll try to correct it in the future." Qiu Pingning hurriedly pinched the cigarette butt in his hand, then folded his hands and bowed to him weakly, with a sincere perfunctory face, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go to the office and sit down first." You keep busy, keep busy. ”

Wei Changbin glared at him in disbelief, his arms holding the documents clenched, and after a few nostrils, he rushed to the conference room in a stupid manner.

"What's the matter? It's also mysterious. Qiu Pingning muttered a few words to himself, and casually threw the cigarette butt into the garbage can.

On the way home carrying a bag of vegetables that did not fit his personal image, Ling Shucheng suddenly stood in the middle of the sidewalk.

Not far away, a large number of colorful passengers just came down from the bus stop. The crowd pushed him back a few steps slightly. Ling Shucheng took a deep breath and gradually frowned.

The evening breeze carries the faint smell of gunpowder. He would not be mistaken for this sensitive smell.

Out of some kind of occupational disease, which may seem strange to outsiders, he took a few quick steps through the crowd with his food, and finally stopped in front of a young girl who was dressed extremely coolly.

In the midst of a pile of regular short-sleeved shorts, a girl wearing a large straw hat full of flowers and a short sundress with a distinctly resort-style style stands out. Realizing that the man in front of her was deliberately trying to get in her way, the girl curled her crimson lips, took off her sunglasses adorned with shiny little decorations with one hand, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing—eh?" ”

She seemed to see Ling Shucheng's appearance clearly in hindsight, and instantly opened her eyebrows and smiled, and her voice softened more than one degree: "Little brother, oops, is there something wrong?" ”

Seeing that the girl was gradually getting closer, Ling Shucheng took a step back uncomfortably, and at the same time sniffed it subconsciously.

You can't go wrong. Despite being almost completely masked by the choking smell of perfume, the girl must have been exposed to a significant amount of some kind of gunpowder not so long ago. Ling Shucheng tried his best to control himself and looked at the other party quietly, his eyes a little confused.

Did he think too much?

The girl was staring at him unabashedly, her expression was about a little delighted, and the sequins under her eyes floated with a fantastical sheen.

"I'm sorry, I guess I recognized the wrong person." Before the other party's cheeks flushed suspiciously, Ling Shucheng took a few more steps back, "Farewell." ”

"What's you, weird." The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled at him, "It doesn't matter if you didn't know each other before, isn't it considered an acquaintance now?" Little brother, maybe we have fate......"

Seeing that the other party had a tendency to get started, Ling Shucheng cleared his throat heavily and turned his head quickly in embarrassment.

"Don't go so fast." In the distance, he could still hear the girl's delicate voice, "Cut, I thought there was a good thing to deliver to the door......

I guess I just came back from the beach. It seems that there are a lot of fireworks set off there.

Ling Shucheng persuaded himself and walked faster and faster.

"Well, it's not interesting...... Could it be that I'm reacting too much? Does this scare people away? The girl looked at the back of the fleeing fast, distressed for less than ten seconds, and suddenly answered the phone in her pocket with a smile.

"Yes, it's me, I'm here." She reluctantly withdrew her gaze, her long nails buttoned on her sunglasses studded with gems, "Don't worry, I brought all the money, how are your goods there?" ”

"Alas, after all, you have to make a big vote, can you rely on a little bit of music? When that happens, you can pay the balance in whatever currency you want. The girl didn't care about the number of straight glances at her, and shook her hand and walked to the side of the road, "Of course, if you want to take this opportunity to change to a larger storefront, it's ......not impossible," she smiled and swept her eyes over the colorful signs in the mall, "When we take this place, you can open a chain of stores if you want." ”
