Chapter 002: Beautiful Girl

Du Xiaobai, who walked out of Bai Jiajing Clinic, was almost stumbled by the oncoming heat wave, he covered his nose, walked quickly to a dilapidated 28 bicycle parked not far away, opened the lock, stepped on the body that did not match his thin figure, and rode crookedly towards the pharmacy that Dr. Li said just now.

Before he had ridden fifty meters, the scorching sun in the sky seemed to be suddenly hidden in someone's pocket, and the whole sky suddenly became pitch black, and the cold wind hit like a flying knife, mixed with thunder, and the goose-feathered snow fell down.

Du Xiaobai was not too surprised, this kind of fickle weather has lasted for nearly a month, and he has seen this sudden snowfall four or five times. He stopped his bike, took out a down jacket from the front basket, put it on his body, and continued to pedal forward.

Some of the pedestrians on the road have set up umbrellas, and some have already put on thicker clothes, and everyone seems to have made various preparations.

Du Xiaobai smiled slightly, and the slightly depressed mood gradually faded. He opened his mouth and let the cold wind blow in his face temporarily cool his aching teeth, which made him feel very comfortable.

At this moment, he felt that everything in the world could be his friend, not his enemy.

Du Xiaobai was born in the imperial capital and will be thirty years old soon. This piece of gold, which has been made into gold teeth, is an ancestral token of Du Xiaobai's family, and it is also the only thought left to him by his long-deceased parents.

Eight years ago, he only used this strange-shaped gold ring to marry his childhood sweetheart Shao Qingqing back home. A year later, Shao Qingqing, who had a great risk of childbirth, ignored the doctor's opposition and insisted on continuing the incense for the Du family and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. As a result, there was an injury, the doctor failed to rescue him, and Shao Qingqing died.

What's even more painful is that the dragon and phoenix fetus born by Shao Qingqing only survived in the world for less than thirty minutes before following his mother.

In the memory left by Du Xiaobai, there is only blood, piles of blood. and Shao Qingqing, in order to persuade him to allow him to have children, said the words "sincerity is spiritual". Others, I don't remember anything anymore.

At that time, he felt that everything in this world was his enemy.

For the next year, he stood like a stubborn rock, standing on the path of the tide, asking over and over again the flowing water rushing by him: Why? Why?

It wasn't until later that he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were also immersed in pain, and infinite guilt rose in his heart. He felt that Shao Qingqing and the two children in the sky would be sad if they saw that they would only care about themselves and be decadent. So, he decided to cheer up, and he decided not only to take care of Shao Qingqing's parents, but also to try to help more mothers and babies in need.

He changed to a new job, devoted himself wholeheartedly, and even put up with the long-term cynicism of his female boss in a low voice, just because it was a job closer to home and better paid;

It's just that, except for work, he is always a little confused, and he is obedient to everything, and there is no excuse.

Later, when he saw the advertisement for free tooth making in Bai Jiajing, he was not greedy for cheap, but he suddenly had a strange idea at that time, if he could make this gold ring that was once stained with Shao Qingqing's blood into a gold tooth inlay in his mouth, he would feel that Shao Qingqing seemed to be still alive by his side.

The snow was still falling, the road was already very slippery, and the pharmacy Dr. Li said had arrived.

Du Xiaobai parked the car at the door of the pharmacy, because he was worried that he would be late for work in the afternoon, he raised his wrist and looked at the watch, only to find that the watch hand had stopped moving at some point.

He took out his phone again and found that the time number on his phone kept changing back and forth, and the time could not be displayed normally. He shook his head, he didn't think too much about it, but he felt that these items that had been used for a long time probably needed to be replaced recently.

He shook the snow off his body and pushed the door into the pharmacy.

The pharmacy is not very big, plus the weather is bad, there are not many people inside. A small television set placed at the cash register was rattling and rattling, and the signal was intermittent, and a young man who looked like a waiter was gently tapping the body of the television. Du Xiaobai didn't want to trouble him, so he walked to the antipyretic and analgesic area alone.

He picked up a bottle of the cheapest painkiller and walked back to the silver counter. There were two people in front of him who were queuing, and Du Xiaobai, who was idle, rubbed his cold hands back and forth while casually looking at the other people in the pharmacy.

Suddenly, Du Xiaobai's left face felt a fiery gaze. He looked to the left and noticed that next to a medicine shelf not far away, a middle-aged man who was choosing medicine seemed to be peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

The man had a beard on his face, and it seemed that his mind was not on the medicine in his hand, and he found that Du Xiaobai noticed him, and slowly lowered his head to look at the medicine bottle in his hand.

Du Xiaobai moved his gaze back, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to know this person. And when he turned his head to look again, he found that the beard was gone.

When Du Xiaobai was wondering, a sentence from the young man at the cashier pulled him back: "This gentleman, do you settle the bill?"

Du Xiaobai nodded, handed over the medicine box in his hand, and then looked in the direction of the beard just now, but still didn't see the man just now.

"Five pieces of three. The cashier guy finished scanning the code and said casually.

Du Xiaobai nodded and opened his eyes vigorously, he wondered if his condition had transitioned from seeing things and ghosting to beginning to hallucinate.

He turned around and began to touch his trouser pocket for change. Suddenly, he noticed a young girl on his right.

The girl looks about twenty years old, with short black ear-length hair that looks extremely energetic, wearing a pure white dress with open arms and knee-length, her skin is as white as Ying, and her eyebrows are gently hanging on the phoenix eyes that are as bright as night stars, not a point taller, not a little shorter. The small nose and mouth look like they have been carved over many years. And these exquisite and wonderful facial features come together to illuminate the entire pharmacy.

The girl leaned a little lazily on the cash register table, her eyes looking at Du Xiaobai meaningfully.

Du Xiaobai looked at this young beautiful girl a little distracted for a few seconds, and saw that she was still just staring at herself, and she didn't say a word, so she asked tentatively: "I'm sorry, girl, am I hindering you from settling the bill?"

The girl's eyes lit up instantly, and she ignored Du Xiaobai's question, because she saw the gold teeth on Du Xiaobai's upper sockets.

The girl raised her left hand and stared at a fiery red watch on her wrist. After a few seconds, his expression relaxed.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Do you often say sorry to others?"

Du Xiaobai was a little confused by this sudden question, and after a few seconds of his brain crashed, he asked back, "Uh...... I'm sorry, what did you say?"

This time, the girl approached Du Xiaobai, stared at his eyes with burning eyes, and said sonorously: "Man, it's better not to say sorry." ”

Du Xiaobai looked at the girl steadily, these domineering words echoed in his head, although the two sorrys he just said were mainly out of politeness, but there was still a touch in his heart.

Over the years, he has been accustomed to swallowing his anger, accustomed to being submissive, accustomed to calming things down, and even more accustomed to taking the initiative to say sorry.

The girl's words were harsh, but they reached his heart.

He was also a person with great ambitions, but the sudden death of his wife and children made all his ideals, beliefs and pride disappear together, leaving only a shell that is busy with life.

Du Xiaobai thought back to his past self, rubbed his forehead that was a little painful, lowered his eyes, smiled gloomily, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry." ”

This sentence is sorry, full of Du Xiaobai's helplessness about life, and more, he is saying it to the once high-spirited self. It's just that Du Xiaobai has already disappeared without a trace with Shao Qingqing and the child.

But where did the girl on the other side know Du Xiaobai's thoughts, she only felt that this man didn't seem to take his words seriously at all, and he kindly gave a word of advice, but the other party actually said sorry again, this is still not a man, and besides, this is not a man who looks down on himself!

The girl's eyebrows showed a trace of sorrow, her eyes widened, her hands pinched her waist, her small chest was straightened, and she was about to open her mouth to theorize, but she suddenly found that not far behind Du Xiaobai, a man with a full beard was staring at them and had taken out a pistol from his arms.

The girl's heart was racing, and she suddenly stretched out her left hand and grabbed Du Xiaobai's collar, seemingly effortlessly slashing downward.

Still immersed in the memories, Du Xiaobai didn't have time to react, he was already on his knees, pouting his buttocks, and half of his face was pressed to the cold floor.

The girl raised her right foot and stepped on Du Xiaobai's slightly arched back, lifted her dress, revealing the holster tied to the snow-white thighs, aimed at the beard, and "snapped" to the ground.

The girl's movements are not muddy, everything is only between lightning and flint.

The beard was a little confused, what was the origin of this troublemaking girl, he just took out the gun from his arms, this girl had already completed a series of actions, and the bullet was fired before him.

The bearded man twisted his body vigorously, and dodged behind the shelves in a bit of embarrassment, and fired two random shots without aiming in a hurry, and the bullets that erupted hit the medicine bottles on the shelves next to him, and the shattered bottles were instantly scattered all over the ground.

Several customers in the pharmacy were startled by the sudden gunshot, and later found that someone was in a shootout, so they all came to their senses, screamed and ran away, regardless of whether the bullet would hit them, and the guy at the cash register hurriedly trembled and fell into the counter and did not dare to show his head.

At this time, Du Xiaobai, who was trampled under the feet of the girl, was still pouting his buttocks, and half of his face was attached to the cold floor. He blinked, wondering what the hell was going on......

Before he had time to think too much, Du Xiaobai felt like a chicken being picked up again, and was dragged to the back of a shelf under the fierce gunfire. His head hit the iron shelf heavily, and this time, Du Xiaobai's head began to ache again, and the girl in his eyes actually appeared several double images, and he couldn't tell which one was the real body and which one was the phantom.

The girl leaned on the shelf as cover, took out the gun from the holster with her right hand, pressed the butt, and a small viewing mirror instantly folded out of the side of the gun. The girl stretched the observation mirror out of the shelf, and was about to take a look at the position of the beard, but there was a "snap", and the rearview mirror was shattered.

"Damn!" the girl cursed, retracting the gun in her hand, not understanding why the beard seemed to be able to see her every move.

Bullets whizzed by, and the girl observed the surrounding environment left and right, and she suddenly noticed that there were several large wide-angle mirrors hanging on the walls around the drugstore, which should be installed in the pharmacy to prevent theft, and the beard was also seeing her position and actions through the wide-angle lens.

The girl raised her gun and smashed several mirrors, and the shattered glass could no longer help the beard to observe them.

Du Xiaobai, who was squatting next to the girl, was holding his head tightly, trembling uncontrollably, his eyes were full of blood, and he felt that his head was about to explode.

The girl noticed Du Xiaobai's strange appearance, and asked anxiously, "Hey, what's your situation?"

Du Xiaobai was already speechless in pain, and at this time, on the side of the two, the beard suddenly came out obliquely, raised the muzzle of the black hole, and ignored the girl's threat, aiming at Du Xiaobai who was covering his head.

The girl didn't expect that the beard would have such a fatal fight, and subconsciously blocked Du Xiaobai with her body, and shot at the same time as the beard.

The girl's bullet whizzed through the beard's right chest, and the beard's bullet went into the girl's abdomen. Both were shot at the same time.

At the moment of falling, the girl tried her best to send out another bullet, hitting a fire extinguisher on the ground next to the beard, and the fire extinguisher instantly exploded a small explosion, and the burst of air shook the beard that was still in the air and flew out.

The girl looked down at her belly that had been shot, her silver teeth clenched, she stood up with the muzzle of a gun, grabbed Du Xiaobai's collar with all her might, and dragged Du Xiaobai, who had a splitting headache, out of the pharmacy.
