Chapter 2: The Invisible Shadow

"Oops! It's all at this point, it's up to you to grind. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info: "Aunt Meiyan slammed the car door to warn Nangong Ming, she is angry now.

The van roared and started, and Nangong Ming looked back at the three-story old building, and a large area on the outer wall was moldy. Only the LC area can see such a scene, located in the bustling city of the old antiques without style, there is a sense of time and space chaos. It's a pity that the exterior walls of many old houses are painted with a big "demolition".

The glamorous aunt was born thin, but she was famous for her iron teeth and gold teeth, and her high and protruding cheeks were even more ruthless. She is now the proprietress of a supermarket in front of the school, and there is only one female employee who is nearly half a hundred years old, and the workload of this female employee can be imagined. It is rumored that when the female employee first came to work, she still had a big belly, and after half a year of exploitation by her aunt, she was already thin enough to shoot a weight loss advertisement. Now, my aunt has extended her claws of exploitation to Nangong again.

A few months ago, Nangong was admitted to the famous Shaoshu Middle School with excellent results, studying in the high school, although it has been funded by the school, a considerable part of the tuition and miscellaneous fees have been waived, but the high cost of living in the city still suffers Nangong.

Nangong's family is in the countryside, and he has followed his grandparents since he can remember, and he will only see his parents every year during Qingming and Chongyang. On the day he was admitted to Shaoshu Middle School, his grandparents were in tears of joy, but Nangong Ming was very worried, but his grandfather smiled and said that there was no problem at all, and he had already thought of a countermeasure. Later, Nangong Ming learned that his grandfather's so-called countermeasure was that he remembered that a relative was opening a shop on the commercial street in front of the gate of Shaoshu Middle School, and in the spirit of blood relationship, he resolutely came to ask his aunt to let Nangong Ming live here.

Originally, my aunt didn't agree, but Nangong Ming's grandfather appeared again and again with a large bag of rural specialties, alarming the neighbors, and the news spread. My aunt was worried that she would be infamous and her face would not look good, so she reluctantly agreed to the request.

"It's not that you don't help you as a relative, it's really a family with a family's suffering, but since it's all a family, if the family doesn't help the family, is it still a human being? You see that I usually take care of you very much, if it is spread that I am beautiful and don't even help my own family, then how can I have the face to meet people? Today, I'm telling you, even if the sky falls, I'll have to make room for my children. Aunt Meiyan patted her chest and vouched for Grandpa Nangong.

So, Nangong Ming came to the city by train by himself, and originally said that his aunt was going to drive to pick him up, but because it was really one of the three mahjong at that time, saving the scene was like fighting a fire, and my aunt could not stand by and watch her comrades fall into the fire. Nangong Ming had to look at the road stop sign, dragging his luggage step by step, and finally found his aunt's house with the help of the police.

At the beginning, Nangong lived in the storage room emptied by her aunt, and her aunt provided breakfast every day, basically there were still pickles and porridge. The remaining two Nangong meals were settled by themselves in the school cafeteria, and the saved accommodation fees could be of great use.

My aunt righteously did not charge Nangong's rent, on the condition that she would help load the goods. From then on, Nangong would get up early in the morning and walk through the whole city with his aunt to the wholesale area on the other side to load the goods, and then transport them to the supermarket warehouse, and all the goods on the shelves were transferred to Nangong Ming. Generally speaking, after being busy with these, Nangong Ming can go back to wash up briefly, grab breakfast and run to class, and if you are lucky, you won't be late.

The above is Nangong Ming's boarding experience at his aunt's house, Nangong Ming sometimes thinks that if he hadn't been admitted to Shaoshu Middle School, the situation would be better, choose a public school close to his hometown, maybe there are a few companions who were admitted together, and life can be a little easier.

[Yes, why did you choose this school?] Even though he knew the answer, Nangong Ming sometimes thought about this question in disbelief.

White vans shuttle through the city at night, and the early morning breeze is cool, cutting the cheeks of people who get up early and run around. My aunt was chattering about life while driving, and most of it was inseparable from trivial matters. Nangong Ming pretended to listen, looking out the window with sleepy eyes.

Shaoshu City, the buildings entangled between the viaducts, the haze entrenched between the buildings, the fog is so thick that you can't see the stars outside the sky, and the air is sprinkled with thin rain, moistening everything you touch.

The roadside bookstore is still open, and the illuminated billboard in front of the door announces recent bestsellers. The delicate cover firmly attracted Nangong Ming's attention.

[When will my novels be able to get to that place?] 】

A team of police cars whizzed past the Galaxy Technology Building.

Nangong Ming looked in the direction where the police car was speeding away, and thought to himself, "What's going on?" 】

By this time, Aunt Glamor's van had reached the other side of the city, merging into the already crowded wholesale market. Aunt Mei kept honking her horn to make a way for herself, and quarreled loudly with the women outside the window. Finally, the van stopped in front of the merchant's house.

Aunt Meiyan was familiar with the road, found the boss, checked the order, and after there was no problem, it was Nangong's turn to appear. He put on his overalls and white gloves and stood by. After knowing the location and quantity of the goods, Nangong began to carry them, and Aunt Meiyan stood aside and talked to the boss.

When he was in the countryside, Nangong often got up before dawn in winter to pick mushrooms with his grandfather in the mushroom shed, and after picking the mushrooms in baskets, he had to use a knife to cut off the muddy roots, and then he could carry them to the vegetable market and sell them to the people who bought them. When they got home, Grandma had already made breakfast and was waiting for them.

Although it was a long time ago, Nangong often remembered that time recently, in the early morning of winter, adults and children were frozen hands and feet, their cheeks were red, and the exhaled breath was white in large balls, but it was still so hot that he wanted to take off his thick cotton clothes, if he really took it off, his grandfather would beat Nangong's ass hard, warning him that if he caught a cold, he would be beaten harder.

The morning market in the city is a little different, at least that's what Nangong thinks, it's not yet cold autumn, but everyone shrinks their heads and doesn't want to move an extra finger.

The work in the store helped Nangong Ming pile up another box in his hand, and now, Nangong Ming's vision was blocked by more than half.

"No problem, right?" The shopkeeper asked worriedly.

"No problem!" Aunt Meiyan answered on the side and waved her big hand.

Nangong Ming nodded to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper let go of his hand, Nangong Ming suddenly felt his hand sink, but fortunately he stabilized it in time.

Nangong Ming cautiously moved towards the van outside, and at this time, a familiar melody came from the driver's seat, which was a very famous love song at the moment.

"Auntie, the phone is ringing!"

Before Nangong finished speaking, something hit his arm, and the goods in his hand immediately became unstable. Nangong sighed in his heart, [Oh no! 】

The box in Nangong's hand was toppled down, and because the line of sight was blocked, he couldn't see the situation of the person who was hit, but Nangong didn't have to guess to know that the person would definitely smash the goods half to death at this time.

The cell phone in the cab rang louder.

At this time, I saw a flash of red shadow, and in the blink of an eye, the man had retreated to the side, and the box fell to the ground with a bang.

Nangong Ming wanted to apologize to that person, but when he saw the other party, he stood in place and couldn't speak for a while.

The girl was dressed in a bright red coat and carried a big black guitar on her back, due to Nangong Ming's collision, the hood on the girl's head slipped down, and the black ponytail inside rolled out and fell on her back, the girl turned her face sideways, and under her beautiful forehead were bright big eyes, looking at Nangong Ming's face, her eyes were full of ...... Hey? Is it wrong? …… A faint green light.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A hurried glance with you in the crowd, but in the dark, it is a promise from the past life and this life......"

Beautiful and soothing singing flows in the air.

Nangong Ming felt that the girl in front of her seemed a little familiar.

The girl was also glaring at Nangong Ming with the same gaze.

For a moment, Nangong thought that time had stopped, untilβ€”

"How? It's all on the ground, didn't you take a little less! Aunt Mei Yan entered the cab and pressed the turn button on her mobile phone, and the song stopped abruptly.

"Oops! You're standing there alone! Why don't you hurry up and pick it up...... Husband, it's me, what socks? The socks are in the third cabinet on the right, so I can't remember what I told you...... Feed! I said you, pick it up! Hey, it's not about you, did you find the socks ......?"

Nangong looked blankly at the girl in red in front of her.

[Alone? ……】

Nangong's gaze fell on the girl's feet.

Sure enough, the girl has no shadow.

The light should shine on the object to produce light and enter the human eye, so that the object can be seen, and the completely transparent light will pass directly through its body, and naturally will not form a shadow on the ground. This is the explanation that Nangong Ming found in a physics textbook when he was in junior high school.

[It's that kind of thing again!] 】

Nangong Ming smiled bitterly, this is the "peculiar" self, he can see what ordinary people can't see, he can touch things that ordinary people can't touch, in order not to let others treat him as a monster, he has to pretend not to see it, just like he has to pretend not to be treated unkindly by his aunt, and greet him with a smile.

"Even you're going to laugh at me?" Nangong Ming said that he saw a hint of surprise in the girl's eyes, and it was fleeting, and her expression became cold and intriguing.

Nangong didn't bother with the girl anymore, bent down and lifted the box on the ground, the ground was wet, reflecting the bizarre neon lights, but it didn't reflect the girl's figure.

Nangong Ming moved the box to the car, and when he turned around, the girl had disappeared without a trace, and she could no longer be found in the busy crowd.

Nangong Ming completed the handling of the rest of the goods amid the reproach of the glamorous aunt's twitter, and after returning to the store, she moved the goods to the shelves, and that morning, Nangong Ming was late.

That day, a piece of news spread throughout the city, last night the Galaxy Technology Building was invaded, and the target of the invaders was the "Devil's Tears" purchased by Galaxy Technology at a sky-high price. But a spokesman for Galaxy Technology denied this claim, claiming that it was nothing more than a conspiracy of competitors, and that Galaxy Technology's security measures were world-class, and thieves would only be able to fly if they entered. According to what the reporter learned from the police, the time when the police were called, that is, the time of the invasion, was exactly two hours before Nangong Ming met the girl in red......
