Xiong Erbo straddled one leg on the bicycle beam and hid in the shade of the trees outside Xidan's open gate. It is fifty or sixty meters away from the gate of Xidan Canteen, and under the shade of the trees, the street lamps hidden in the leaves cast a dim and mottled halo. Compared with a dazzling headlamp at the gate, this mottled shade is a bit like the back wall of the neighboring factory——— it seems to have been seen, but whether it really exists makes people doubtful. People entering and exiting the gate could not see the dim and mottled base of the wall.

Xiong Erbo's eyes were glued to the door, and he took off his mask and put it back on. He's been here for two hours now. Xiao Cao, who was squatting on the side, and Erdan, who was smoking silently, sucked hard and spit out from time to time, and with the cigarette butt that was extinguished and extinguished, Erdan asked sullenly: "Haven't seen it yet?" The patience in the words was almost exhausted, "You don't need to trouble him here, you can trouble him in broad daylight, why bother?" ”

Xiong Erbo pouted his legs, handed over a box of cigarettes, and laughed softly: "Hehe, alas, wait, the guys are finally here, and you can't go back empty-handed today." In fact, he didn't take the initiative to call Xiao Cao Erdan, it was Erdan who came back from the south, and when he heard Xiao Cao say that his friend's matter was still over, he said: "What's the matter, such a trivial matter, and it takes so long to wait?" He seemed to have forgotten what he was looking for to find the man who was settling the account, and asked again, "What is that man doing?" ”

Xiao Cao hurriedly said: "It's a technician in a mechanical casting workshop," Xiao Cao couldn't help but look back at Erdan, he understood Erdan's temper, for a while. Most of the time, it looks calm and sophisticated, even like a slow old cow. But there are also unpredictable times, the kind of unpredictable, which makes people feel like a cunning old wolf. Xiao Cao was worried that Erdan was impatient, so he asked Xiong Erbo: "No, another day?" He also knew that Xiong Erbo had told him yesterday that he had been here for the past two days, and if he had done this as soon as possible, he would rest his mind and be at ease with Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan was introduced by the family, and the adults in the family can pull each other on, Xiao Yuan's family is a traditional cadre family, and they all want to get married early if they get along well. But at the same time as this idea appeared, his heart could not be forgotten.

He and Xiao Cao Erdan waited for two hours, of course it was not waiting, before he invited the two of them to have a drink in the opposite restaurant, after drinking, Xiao Cao walked two back and forth in the single building according to the house number of the West Single Building that he heard in advance, and he was sure that Xu Li who was looking for had not returned to the West Single, so he began to wait at the gate of Xidan.

Just thinking about his thoughts, Xiao Cao suddenly whispered, "Alas? Isn't that the one crossing the street? ”

Xiong Erbo had already set up the car, and watched a few people cross the road with Xiao Cao's hand. The three people who crossed the road walked from the factory gate diagonally opposite, all wearing factory work clothes. There were cars coming and going on the road from time to time, and those few people came over and walked directly to the west single gate.

When he walked past the light sprinkled from the leaves, Xiao Cao immediately said anxiously: "The one with glasses, that's right." As he spoke, he couldn't stop looking at the second egg who was still squatting on the road. Erdan suddenly got up and passed over to the three people who had just crossed the street. Xiao Cao turned his head twice to Xiong Erbo, and followed closely behind Erdan. He took the first step and shouted to the person who had just walked to the battlement of Xidan Gate: "You! Hold it! ”

The three young students in overalls were stunned when they heard this, and before they could react, they said that it was too late, and then they were fast, only to see Erdan suddenly swing his fist at one of the young men with glasses, and poof! The bespectacled young man screamed, covered his eyes with his hands, and hid in front of the battlement. For a while, the other two people who were with them were stunned and didn't dare to squeak. The offspring who was hit in the eyes by the second egg began to lean against the door, covered his eyes with his hands and moaned in a low voice, and then began to lower his body to find the glasses that had been knocked to the ground. Xiao Cao looked at the people around him who heard the news, and hurriedly pulled the two eggs: "Hurry up." ”

Xiong Erbo began to walk towards this side, but he didn't take a few steps, seemed to hesitate again, and turned around to lock the car. When he turned around and stepped forward to take a look, he saw that Xiao Cao had already walked back to his bicycle with Erdan, kicked the tripod with a snap, and turned around to leave. The second egg kicks the leg of the car and moves unusually freely or has no one in his eyes. Xiao Cao whispered to Xiong Erbo: "Let's go first." He tugged at the sleeve of the second egg again, "Go away." He began to look a little flustered. Erdan's face was calm, his movements were unhurried, not only was he not panicked at all, but he patted the car seat with his hands as if he had just finished performing a good show, rolled up his sleeves twice, and had a posture that was in danger, which made Xiong Erbo stunned and Xiao Cao anxious. Subsequently, Erdan seemed to be under Xiao Cao's constant urging, and left leisurely with great reluctance. Xiong Erbo also left, but when he got on the car, he couldn't help but look back at the gate of Xidan a few times, and under the light, there were more and more people watching the excitement, and the person he cared about who was beaten was surrounded and couldn't see it.

Xiong Erbo rode alone under the street lamp, walked far away, and kept looking back in the direction of a mechanical Xidan. He didn't seem to feel much relieved and proud, but a little lost and uneasy. He actually didn't completely see whether the person who was beaten by the second egg was Xu Li. also blamed himself, blamed himself for hiding in the dark and didn't have time to take a closer look, Xiao Cao and Erdan did it. He began to wrestle. If you hit the wrong person...... Hey, if you make a mistake, you make a mistake, you deserve it, who made him unlucky. However, if you really make a mistake, won't it make your rivals cheaper? If that's the case, you're in trouble. It's a lot of effort, not to mention the favors you owe, and you haven't achieved your goal yet, so it's too much of a loss. When Xiong Erbo thought of this, his heart became more and more uneasy. The street lamps in front of you are like clusters of light cast from the night sky. Whenever he rode into an aperture, his figure suddenly appeared, and his heart seemed to be lit with a lamp, but when he rode out of the aperture in a few steps, the light suddenly dimmed or even lost. His state of mind at this time was irritable with the flickering lights of the street every few steps on the road, so that for a moment he was as low as a dim light bulb obscured by branches and leaves overhead.

Xiong Erbo didn't seem to have such a melancholy habit, and today I don't know what's wrong. When he unconsciously walked to Shangma Street, he suddenly wanted to go into Guo Guozhu's house to have a look. In front of him was the small courtyard gate of Guo Guozhu's house, and he involuntarily parked one leg on the curb of the road. Get out of the car from the right side of the car, lift the handlebars and get on the road, then look down at the potholes and brick roads that a group of people stepped on, and walk towards Guo Guozhu's house step by step. When he entered the depths of the courtyard and knocked on the low door in the dark, he suddenly regretted it again, because when he raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already past ten o'clock at night. Guo Guozhu's mother asked in the house, "Who?" ”

Xiong Erbo hesitated for a moment, and said, "Auntie, I, Guozhu is not at home?" ”

With a babbling sound the door opened, Guo Guozhu's mother was surprised: "Ah! Isn't this a second wave? Come in, come in, why is it so late? The national pillar is on the second shift. ”

Xiong Erbo immediately said: "Hey, he is on the second shift, I thought he was at home." Then I won't go in, it's too late to go in, Auntie, I'm leaving. With that, he turned around and walked out.

Guo Guozhu's mother hurriedly said, "It's okay, wow? Hey, this doll, it's already at the door and won't come in. Let's go? When Guozhu comes back in the evening, I told him wow, slow down, hey, this doll won't enter the house when it arrives at the door. Seeing Xiong Erbo walking away, he said to the honest old man who came out of the probe: "The dolls now, I don't know what's wrong, and they still visit the door in the middle of the night." It's weird. ”

Guo Guozhu's honest father just chimed in: "Is there something wrong with Guozhu?" He was glared at by his wife with big bull eyes, pulled his face and scolded: "Sleep your sleep, wow, what does it have to do with you!" ”
