Tang Chen threw the rusty compass on the shelf, returned to his seat, and continued to blow the wind under the ceiling fan boringly.

Most of the day passed, and the door was still empty, and there was not even a figure.

From morning till afternoon, no one came to the door except for the roe deer-headed man.

Tang Chen was used to this situation, he was not anxious or impatient, and the clouds were light and the wind was light. That's it for this business, pay attention to not opening for three years, and eating for three years. Most of the time, there is no business. But luck came, and if you make a business, it will be enough for a year's expenses.

I think when he first entered the industry, he didn't understand this doorway, and he wanted to hand out flyers, standing at the door and shouting, almost making a joke. Nowadays, it is also an old fritter, slippery and not slippery.

The edges and corners have been worn away by the years, which is called sleek and mature.

After another half an hour, Tang Chen was sure that there was no business today, so he got up and closed the store directly.

His home lives in a small bunk, with a bunk on the outside and a small bedroom on the inside, just enough for a bed, a cabinet, and a desk. At the back of the bedroom, a small corridor was opened, and two or three meters straight to the bathroom.

August nights are always late.

Tang Chen, who came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiped his wet hair.

Why don't you use a hair dryer? Actually, it's just because of one word - poor.

Anyway, the five elements are short of money, Tang Chen was born in an ordinary working family, just graduated from college, no car, no house, no ticket, let alone a girlfriend.

In fact, Tang Chen's appearance is quite good, with a height of one meter seventy-five, white and clean, not handsome, but his facial features are upright, which makes people feel very comfortable and has a sense of intimacy. However, if there is no money in his pocket, he can only "watch from a distance and not play with it" for any female creature.

At this moment, his three-year-old Meizu mobile phone suddenly rang.

If you look closely, you can see that it shows a familiar name. Tang Chen didn't even dare to unplug the charging cable, because the mobile phone battery was no longer working, and in less than ten minutes, it would definitely turn off automatically. After all, it has been used for three years, and there is no money to change it, so it can only be used as a "sitting machine". You have to bring a heavy power bank when you go out, it's a hard time!

"Hey, Xiaolinzi, why are you so free to call me?"

The Xiao Linzi in Tang Chen's mouth, whose name is Lin Chao, is a sworn friend Tang Chen has known since childhood. When I was a child, I and Lin Chao did a lot of harm to people's sweet potato fields and orchards. Panzhou is the largest fruit production base in Lingnan, and there are many crop productions, plus my grandfather's house is in a small village, the farmland under the mountain, and the fruit forest on the mountain, which is a good place for them to "commit crimes".

The stolen sweet potatoes, the young Tang Chen and Lin Chao used mud blocks to build a small kiln on the edge of the field, picked up some dry firewood and grass and put it into the kiln to make a fire. When the mud was red, a few sweet potatoes were thrown into the kiln and the kiln collapsed. After a while, turn the mud over and take out the cooked sweet potatoes and eat them. The fragrance of that sweet potato, looking back on it now, is so missed.

What people are most afraid of is memories, because most of the things in memories will slowly change with the passage of time. Even if I go to buy sweet potatoes and simmer them now, I don't have the fun of the past......

On the other end of the phone, Lin Chao said in an excited voice: "Tang Chen, let me tell you, my father agreed that I would go to Panzhou!"

Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Your father doesn't want you to serve those lychee longans?"

"Alas, don't mention it, in recent years, lychee longan has been in a recession, the purchase price of lychee is only one dollar a catty, longan is a little better, this year's production has been greatly reduced, and the purchase price is four or five yuan. But you also know that my family has a lot of lychees in the fruit forest and a few longans, and it is not enough to make enough money......"

Listening to Lin Chao's complaints, Tang Chen was also silent. Lin Chao didn't like to study since he was a child, and he didn't study again after high school, helping the family to serve the orchard. In the past few years, lychee longan has become popular, and it can make a lot of money. But in the past two years, the price of lychee longan has plummeted, and his family's fruit forest is large, with three hills, and he has lost a lot. The money earned in previous years is not enough to be pasted upside down.

“...... My dad said that if he has no interest in the village, he wants me to come out of Panzhou to see if I can make some money. If you can't do it, you will go to the provincial capital of Huadu and Shenzhen to work. ”

Tang Chen is just a small probationary employee now, and he can't help Lin Chao at all, so he can only comfort him and say: "Don't be afraid, as long as you can endure hardships, you will definitely be able to make money!"

"Tang Chen, in fact, I regret it, if I had studied as hard as you and had been admitted to a university, maybe I wouldn't have to worry about work. To tell you the truth, I talked about a girlfriend in Gao Zhou City, and I was ready to get married, and her parents disliked me as a farmer, and asked for a bride price of 50,000 yuan, not to mention, and I wanted to buy a house in Gao Zhou City. Tang Chen, you also know how dark these real estate people are, in the past two years, the housing prices in Gao (gao) state city have gone to five or six thousand one square meters, how can I afford to buy it!" Lin Chao began to vomit bitterness, which made Tang Chen also sigh.

Recently, some young people say that they don't want a house, and that's because you haven't met your mother-in-law yet.

In order to soothe Lin Chao's emotions, Tang Chen began to gag: "Congratulations, Xiao Linzi, you are finally out of the ranks of single dogs." ”

On the other end of the phone, Lin Chao smirked: "Tang Chen, what about you?"

Tang Chen's heart trembled, a shadow floated in his mind, he was distracted for a moment, and after being silent for a few seconds, he forced a smile and said, "Am I just like that, what else can I do?" By the way, when will you arrive in Panzhou?"

"Tomorrow morning, I guess?"

"What time is it, do I want to pick you up?"

"It's supposed to be eight o'clock!"

"Okay, I'll pick you up, is it at the passenger station?"

"Yes!"

"That's it......"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Chen's mood was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what it was like.

After sitting for a while, Tang Chen wanted to open the window and breathe in the fresh air.

The windows of the shop, set next to the shelves, just block half of it.

When Tang Chen leaned sideways to open the window, a black thing suddenly fell down for some reason, and it happened to hit Tang Chen's head. Tang Chen, who was caught off guard, was hit on the top of his head by this hard object, and he fainted......

Tang Chen, who was in a coma, didn't know that blood was oozing from the top of his head. The wound on the top of his head, under the dim orange light, suddenly scaled out a trace of strange brilliance. This ray of brilliance, with a bit of golden color, seems to be full of spirituality, and slowly fades into the wound in the meandering flow. The jade pendant on Tang Chen's chest also began to glow with a strange white light......

A moment later, the golden brilliance disappeared completely, and the wound on the top of Tang Chen's head also formed a bloody scab slightly.

It's a pity that Tang Chen fainted and didn't see this magical scene.
