"Ye Ke?" Guan Qing shook his hand in front of my eyes, "It's okay, what do you want?"

"Oh, it's fine. I came back to my senses from the memories and said, "I remembered an old man." ”

"Something to do with Lao Cai?" Guan Qing has always been sensitive, "It's also related to monsters?"

"Well, it's related to monsters, when I first came to City A, I met a monster from an old street, and I talked about it very well and gave me a lot of help. ”

"I haven't heard you say it," Guan Qing said, "it's so close, why haven't I seen you look for it?"

"I haven't seen it since I came to the store to work part-time. I said, "Speaking of which, it suggested that I find a part-time job." ”

"Do you know its name?" Guan Qing asked, "Isn't it okay to call it if you know?"

"It's a pity that before I could ask, it's gone without a trace," I sighed, "but think about it, since it's gone, I guess I don't want to be disturbed, I don't know its name." ”

"You, why are you so passive. Guan Qing frowned, "The old street will be demolished after another time, you may be able to meet it again if you go and see it, and you can say goodbye to it." ”

I smiled and didn't speak.

I remember my first day as a part-time grocery job in Tianbei, when I got off work, I came to the old street across the wall and wanted to tell Furry that I had found a very amazing job, but I didn't see it that day.

I originally wanted to ask the boss on the old street if he had seen it, but then I realized that I didn't know its name, and even if I did, it was useless, humans couldn't see its monster at all, how could they know where a monster went?

The next day, the third day... A month later, I would come to Lao Cai every day, but there was still no trace of the fur.

Until one day, the owner of the wonton seller asked me, "Why haven't I seen your brother come to eat wontons for a long time?", I suddenly stopped talking, and I have never been to the old street again.

At that time, I didn't know that the name of the monster was the key to call them, and if I knew, I would have asked anyway, just like Guan Qing said, so that at least I could say goodbye and say thank you to it.

It'll come back someday.

I kept thinking about it, and gradually forgot about it, and only occasionally remembered the fluffy monster when I was alone in the store at night, but I didn't expect that the old street was going to be demolished.

The day passed in the blink of an eye, and at twelve o'clock in the evening, as usual, I closed the door, hung the bell on the last container, prepared the letter paper and the pen full of ink, and sat at the table waiting for the guests, but my mind was full of the news that had been told to me during the day.

At one point, the bell didn't ring, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.

At two o'clock, no monsters came to the door, only the sound of clocks ticking.

At three o'clock, I sat alone, as irritable as a cat scratching.

Why are you so lonely today? What about the monsters? Why didn't any of those monsters who usually make a bunch of strange requests come today as promised? Come on, let me ghostwrite letters for you, you can draw, you can drink tea and chat, even if you go to the sewer to find something!

I've never wished that a guest would ring the bell and say to me, "Excuse me, are you Lord Yeke?"

At four o'clock, I put the pen and paper in the drawer, picked up my coat, went out and turned right, then right, and walked faster and faster.

The old street at four o'clock in the morning has not changed at all.

A variety of bean curd toppings, sweet and salty rice balls, sizzling potstickers, white and chubby crab roe buns, and fragrant wontons.

"Yo, I haven't seen you in a long time. "This is the fat owner of the noodle shop.

"It's been a long time. ”

"Looks like you're a little fat?"

"Haha, yes, I feel like I'm fat too. ”

"Isn't school busy?" said the old couple at the porridge shop.

"What are you going to eat today?"

The bosses who haven't seen me for a long time have not forgotten me, they all greeted me warmly, I also answered them with a smile, occasionally chattering about homely things, and the stalls of the old street have come and gone for a long time, and the stalls of wontons are at the other end of the old street.

"Here we are. "The boss saw me and said hello with a big smile, just like I could see me every day.

"Hmm. I nodded, not sure what to say next.

"A bowl?" he asked me.

"Good. "I sat on a small stool in front of the stall.

"Or do you want all the ingredients?"

"Hmm. ”

"Okay!"

Soon, a bowl of hot ravioli was placed in front of me. Except that the packing box has become a blue-edged bowl, the green onions, coriander, and mustard are all exactly the same.

The sesame oil slowly spread in the soup, and I picked up the spoon and drank the soup one bite at a time.

"You're coming to him?" asked the boss, keeping his eyes fixed on the water in the pot.

Before I could blow the cold soup, it scalded me hard.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he wiped his hands with a white towel, crossed his waist and said, "He's not your brother." Affirmative tone.

I smiled and nodded.

"But he seems to take special care of you," said the boss, "that buddy often brings outsiders to visit my business, and when he sees everyone, he says that he is his friend, and sometimes he helps people show the way or something, and he has always been mysterious, and when I ask him what he does, he will always look like a genius that cannot be revealed, but he says that it is his brother's, and you are the only one." ”

"Then how do you know he's not telling the truth?" I asked.

"Haha, it's not for nothing to set up a stall for so many years, depending on the individual's ability. You are so wary of him, obviously you don't know him? The boss grinned, "But he is indeed a good person, so I don't need to expose it." ”

"Does anyone know where he went?" a few years ago, I would never have imagined that I would be able to talk to people while eating wontons today.

The boss shrugged, "I don't know, I don't know where he went, this old street is going to be demolished, and everyone mentioned him a few days ago." ”

"That's right. I squeezed out a smile and fed the wontons to my mouth, "So where are you all going to move from here?"

"I don't know, I've been doing it here for more than ten years, and it's false to say that I have no feelings," the boss said, "but if I really want to demolish it, I can't help it, and then find a place." ”

"Wontons are so delicious, people will like them everywhere. I said.

"Haha, borrow your auspicious words. Eat first, I'll have to say hello over there. Two young men with suitcases came over, and the boss greeted them warmly.

It looks like I can't see the furry anymore... I thought to myself.

Hey?

"Boss, I've suddenly had something wrong, let's go first!" I stood up, almost knocking over the stool, "The money is on the table, thank you for the ravioli! I'll be coming back!"

"Ahh Okay, you run slowly! Don't fall!Hey!" The boss's voice came from behind me, and I ran all the way forward, quickly leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the old street.

Yes, I felt that familiar aura just now, and although it was only for a moment, I was pretty sure that it was it.

"Hey, you wait!" I yelled out of breath, "I have something to ask you, you wait for me!"

There were no people on the road in the early hours of the morning, and I could easily sense the fluffy scent

"Why are you avoiding me? Don't you know that the old street is going to be demolished?"

But instead of stopping, it moved fast, and I felt like I had run two or three kilometers, my mouth was dry, my heart was beating wildly, my calves were shaking, and I was soon reaching my limit.

"I've been... I regret it, both.... I finally couldn't run, I stopped where I was, my eyes closed, sweating profusely, feeling it getting farther and farther away, "Okay to talk to you.... Thank you!" I used all the strength I could at the moment.

The breath that was getting farther and farther away from me suddenly stopped.

My eyes were all flowers when Furry reappeared in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that's right, this breath is it. When I finally came to my senses, I looked up and saw that it was still looking at me, still like a mop, still moving in a panning way.

I was so tired that I couldn't speak, and I sat on the ground with my ass in my heart, feeling wronged for no reason. I really want to ask it, why did it help me so much and then say goodbye, I want to tell it, because of its enlightenment, I now have a new life, I want to say well, you are my cherished friend. But I couldn't get a word out of it.

"Why is it that until now, I still look helpless at every turn. Furry opened his mouth first, "If you become a ghostwriter, you have to look like a ghostwriter." ”

I was speechless in astonishment.

Furry sighed and said, "Let's reintroduce myself, my name is Shou, and I am the guide of the old street." ”
