The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Defu, a native of Huinan Town, Nanhui County, Shanghai, and a well-known local melon grower.

Nanhui's watermelons are famous in Shanghai, and the 8424 seedless watermelons cultivated by Zhao Defu are second to none in Nanhui.

Every summer, a customer from the city went to Nanhui to designate to collect the melons he planted, and in the whole Nanhui County, he sold the fastest watermelons and the highest price.

After more than ten years of hard work, Zhao Defu not only built a small building and bought a truck for his family with the income from planting melons, but also had a deposit of more than 100,000 yuan in the bank, which is considered a small wealth in the local area.

When people reach middle age, they can be described as proud, and the only fly in the ointment is that his wife did not give him a son, which made Zhao Defu depressed for a while.

But fortunately, her daughter Zhao Lin has been smart and clever since she was a child, and as she grows older, she has become more and more beautiful, and what is even more rare is that she is empathetic, and her wife's health has not been good in recent years, which completely dispelled Zhao Defu's idea of committing a crime against the wind and having a second child to inherit the lineage.

Zhao Defu just came back from delivering melons from customers in the city with his daughter today, and the rear compartment was empty, so he asked the boy to sit in the back of the car, and he and his daughter got into the car and drove in the direction of home.

Zhao Lin turned his head to look at the boy's actions through the rear window of the cab, but the boy at this time regained his quietness, he curled up in the corner of the carriage, his eyes stared blankly at the rapidly regressing scenery outside, no one knew what was going on in his mind at this moment.

Zhao Lin turned her head, thinking about her heart, she didn't know why she insisted on letting her father take this boy home, but she always felt that there seemed to be something on this boy's body that attracted her, his thin body, people couldn't help but want to help him and love him.

Is my love overflowing again? I usually like to pick up some stray kittens and puppies to go home, but now I actually picked up someone back, and then my mother is going to talk about herself again.

An hour later, Zhao Defu parked the truck firmly in the small yard of his house, and his wife heard the voice and picked it up.

"Ah Fu, why is it so late? I'm worried about what's going on with you! Zhao Defu's wife Shen Chunfang is a typical rural woman, thin and small, with a yellow face, although the conditions in her home are not bad, but she is not willing to dress up, except for an ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist, there is no gold and silver jewelry.

"Mom! Dad almost crushed someone today, so we delayed. Zhao Lin had already jumped out of the cab like a rabbit and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Huh? Pressed on someone? Press...... Who's going to be pressed on? Ah Fu, how can Nong be so careless! This sentence scared Shen Chunfang a lot, and her hands and feet were a little cold.

At this time, Zhao Defu also jumped out of the car, and blamed Zhao Lin and said, "Little girl, your mouth is just not strong, the child, don't listen to Xiao Lin's nonsense, it's not that it's pressed people, it's that we rescued a person from the road." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the back of the car, knocked on the board of the car, and shouted, "Hey, boy, come down!" It's time to get there! ”

After a while, hearing that there was no movement in the car, Zhao Defu couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, could it be that he fell asleep?

Zhao Lin was over there talking to Shen Chunfang about what had just happened, and she didn't notice the situation here.

Zhao Defu wondered, turned to the back of the car, and looked inside with the tailgate, but he was dumbfounded, the back of the car was empty, and the kid was gone.

＃＃＃

At this time, the boy was ten kilometers away from Zhao Defu's house, walking along the road in the opposite direction, his hearing was very good, the girl and her father were all heard by him, the father and daughter saved his life, in his heart the favor of the father and daughter exceeded 50, but he did not want to be what they called 'trouble'.

So, halfway through the car, he jumped out of the car.

It was already completely dark, there were no street lights on the dirt road in the country, and the boy walked forward by the light of the moon, not knowing where he would end, but thinking that he should be as far away from the kind father and daughter as possible.

The girl's bread and her father's tea had restored him to all his strength, and in fact, he hadn't eaten anything for ten whole days before that, so his hunger and thirst would have risen to a dangerous 99.9%, otherwise a few days without food would not have been life-threatening for him.

There was a sudden unusual noise in the woods on the side of the road, and four green points of light loomed towards the boy.

The boy stopped, his eyes looked into the dark forest, two small red arrows appeared in his field of vision, the boy's brow furrowed, he knew in his heart what red meant.

The small red arrows got closer and closer, and finally revealed their form in the moonlight.

"Wild dog, level 1 attack power, low health, weapons - claws, teeth. Combat Effectiveness Assessment - Sending them away is as simple as sneezing. A pleasant female voice came to my head.

The boy's brows furned, looking at the dingle fur on the wild dog, and then at the tattered clothes and pants on his body, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said to himself, "Do you two want to bully me too?" Don't you think the three of us are a little bit alike? You'd better go quickly, or don't blame my men for being ruthless! ”

The wild dogs didn't understand him at all, and the two wild dogs pounced on one left and one right, they should have not found food for a long time, and they were hungry and panicked, otherwise it would be impossible to attack humans.

The boy did not panic, his body moved back like lightning, and his left and right hands were quickly stretched out, looking at the position of the dog's head, and gently closing it in the middle.

'Bang~~~' The two dog heads collided together like Mars hitting the earth.

The wild dog let out two whining sounds, and when it landed, it rolled over and ran into the woods in a panic.

It seems that the boy still showed mercy, otherwise the two wild dogs would have been seriously injured if they did not die.

"Hehe, go ahead! Little thing, spare you for once! The boy smiled lightly, and what had just happened to him was as simple as kicking away a pebble.

"Fight off the dingos and gain 20 combat experience." A pleasant female voice sounded in my head.

The boy's expression froze for a moment, the smile seemed to freeze on his face, he shook his head, sighed, and continued to walk forward.

The boy walked along the road, as if he had no idea of being tired, and had no intention of stopping for a moment.

The occasional passing car on the road seemed to ignore the figure, and none of the cars wanted to stop and ask why the boy was still walking in the wilderness so late, and the drivers couldn't be blamed, who knew if the boy was the bait of the road bandits? You parked the car, and a few big men came out of the side of the road but robbed you instead, why bother?

In these years, there are too many strange things, you can't do it without you, I'm afraid you can't think of it.

Before I knew it, the east was white, and the day was about to dawn, and the boy actually walked all night.

The scenery on both sides of the road has long since changed, no longer monotonous woods or fields, there are more and more low-rise houses, and the dirt road under your feet has also become an asphalt road, and you can even see high-rise buildings in the distance.

The boy walked to the door of a residential community and stopped, three meters in front of him is a fritter stall, not far from the big iron gate of the community, the geographical location is very good, his current hunger and thirst is only 10%, but the fragrance of fritters just out of the pot greatly stimulates his sense of smell.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his 40s, kneading the dough neatly on the cutting board, while his wife lowers the finished fritter blanks into the oil pan one by one.

On the iron sieve on the oil pan, more than a dozen freshly fried fritters are neatly placed.

The boy stood in front of the stall looking at the fritters and gulped his saliva.

"Young man, do you want breakfast? How many fritters do you want? The proprietress had already noticed the boy, so she greeted him warmly, thinking to herself, I didn't expect someone to come to buy fritters so early, what a good sign.

The boy swallowed again, took two steps forward and said, "I want to ...... Two roots. ”

The proprietress was stunned, why did this boy speak a little weird? Where is this accent? However, business naturally does not take these things into account.

"Good! Come on, these are two fritters! The proprietress quickly picked up two fritters with chopsticks, put them in a small plastic bag, and handed them to the boy.

The boy took the fritter and took a big bite, it was so fragrant!

"Fritters, which can be eaten, reduce hunger and thirst by 15% per 100 grams, continuously restore health by 5% within five minutes, and increase pleasure by 5%."

Oh, it's a good thing, not only does it reduce hunger and thirst by 5% more than bread, but it also increases the pleasure level, and the boy is happy and chews it heavily. Fragrant! It smells so good!

The proprietress looked at the boy and took a third bite, and found that he didn't mean to give money yet, so she couldn't help but speak, "Hey, young man, two fritters are a total of one dollar." ”

"Money?" The boy was stunned for a moment, what is this?

The proprietress sighed in her heart and thought, "Did you meet someone who eats white food?" ”

looked at the fritters in the boy's hand, each fritter was bitten, even if it was taken back, it couldn't be wanted, and I couldn't help but feel angry, thinking, "If you don't give money after eating, you will pretend to be stupid to the old lady!" ”

The proprietress picked up the moon cake box with money in her hand and shook it a few times in front of the boy, and there was a collision sound between coins and metal boxes inside, and she didn't have a good breath in her mouth, "Did you hear that?" Here! That's the money! You have to pay for something! If you don't have money, don't buy anything! Do you know how to cut it? ”

The last sentence of Shanghainese is learned by the proprietress and the guests, although it is not a good word, but it also imitates a ** not far from ten, the proprietress usually often puts it into her own colloquialism, and after getting praise from others, she is often proud for a while.

The boy then understood that this fritter still had to be bought with 'money', and looked at the moon cake box in the proprietress hand, which contained many large and small metal discs, as well as more than a dozen pieces of paper with the words 'one yuan', 'two yuan', and 'Wu Yuan', which turned out to be the 'money' in the mouth of the proprietress.

It's hard to do now, the boy knows that he has absolutely no of these things on his body, and he stands there awkwardly with a fritter in his hand, looking at the angry proprietress and not knowing what to say.

"The proprietress of the fritter stall, level 1 attack power, medium health, weapon - none. Combat Strength Assessment - Sending her away is as easy as eating fritters. A pleasant female voice came to my head.
