Hengcheng has a subtropical monsoon climate, with relatively warm winters, and as for summer, it can be summed up in one sentence: there is a lot of rain.

At this time, a drizzle was already falling from the sky, and the rain was blown by the wind, and the market seemed to be foggy.

Yuan Xing twisted his eyebrows and looked at the rain like smoke, helplessly raised a hand, put the big sleeve on the bald head, and continued to look for it nearby, even ignoring the risk of being watched by people after being exposed, and took the initiative to communicate with the nearby shops to inquire.

I asked this all over again, but I still didn't find anything. Finally, when an enthusiastic female boss took out his mobile phone and was about to take a picture of him and send it to Moments for mobilization, his heart jumped and he decisively quit the shop. Glancing at the people who entered and exited the community, they didn't dare to delay here for too long, so they casually found a direction and made the gods go away. At the same time, the last trace of luck in my heart is finally gone.

He took a few steps, and his instinct was far enough away from the street before he stopped.

The matter of eating was lost, and there was nowhere to go, so Yuanxing could only wander aimlessly in the rain, thinking about the problem of his stomach while looking for a place to spend the night tonight.

Now the city has completely changed for him, he feels unfamiliar everywhere, the road conditions are even less familiar, and he doesn't know where he is going.

In a moment, the clouds completely obscured the sun, and the rain gathered into beads in mid-air, crackling and falling.

Yuan Xing raised his eyes, ran briskly to the corner of the street, ran into the canopy of a unit door and stopped, and then wiped his wet head with his sleeve.

The residential building is fully secured, and residents can only enter and exit with their key cards.

When it was about to get off work, people who came in and out passed by Yuanxing, and they couldn't help but take a look, and some kindly asked him if he wanted to go in and wait, but they were all rejected with a smile.

The rain didn't seem to stop for a short time, and it was late at night, and even the fresh food store opposite was closed, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

The rain was blown into the canopy by the wind, hitting his face, and his skin was cold, Yuan Xing looked at the gradually darkening neighborhood and the few scattered lights on the tall buildings, he finally couldn't hold back, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

After a long while, he raised his hand and waved his strength, cleaned the concrete floor, and sat cross-legged. With the continuous sound of rain, it gradually settled.

In this familiar and unfamiliar city, I spent another night.

------------

The next day, the rain was still falling, just a little lighter.

After the recitation was completed, the fresh food store on the opposite side also opened early, a large truck stopped on the side of the road, and the owner in his fifties was laboriously unloading various boxes.

He didn't hesitate, walked over and moved the two fruit boxes directly into the store. In the gratitude of the shopkeeper, he emptied all the goods on the car together with the driver.

"Thank you, little master." Waiting for the truck to drive away, the shopkeeper thanked Yuanxing again.

Yuan Xing smiled and waved his hand, and was about to leave, but who knew that the other party's next sentence made him stunned.

"Is the little master in trouble?"

After all, Yuan Xing's hairstyle and clothes were so recognizable, and he quickly remembered what he saw when he closed last night. In the heavy rain, a lone monk hides in the shadow of the unit's canopy.

He glanced at the closed unit door opposite, did this monk stay outside all night?

Yuan Xing was about to step out and retracted, he touched his stomach and thought for a moment before he asked with a smile: "I don't know if the donor is short of guys to help here?" It doesn't matter how much you pay, just take care of lunch. ”

------------------

The boss's surname is Liu, no children and no daughters, his wife also left a few years ago, and has opened a store here for more than ten years.

After introducing himself, Yuanxing officially took up his post. The location of this store is far from good, and the store is not large, but the vegetables and fruits are fresh and the prices are reasonable, so there are actually a lot of customers who come and go.

Because there are too many types of goods, he was still a little busy at the beginning of the trip, but he has a good memory and is also diligent, especially at noon, he finally ate the only full meal in three days, and he feels more energetic, and the work of replenishment and tally is becoming more and more proficient. Occasionally, Lao Liu is too busy, and he can also help weigh and collect money.

It is not a regular company, and of course there is no eight-hour work week, and Yuanxing needs to work from opening the door to closing at night.

But he can manage a meal here, Lao Liu also allowed him to spend the night in the store, and after hearing about what happened to him, the other party also paid a day's salary in advance, and let him go to the small market nearby to buy toiletries and a change of underwear, which really helped a lot.

At night, after the fresh food store closed, Yuan Xing changed his clothes in the bathroom, found a waste paper shell to spread out, and spread the bedding provided by Lao Liu on it, meditated until late at night, and then fell asleep satisfied.

On the third day of arriving in this world, he finally had a place to stay.

--------------

In the blink of an eye, the rain finally stopped, Lao Liu opened the door early, and Yuan Xing had already finished his morning class at this time. A busy day begins again. It wasn't until late afternoon that it was a little more relaxed.

Yuan Xing patrolled the store, busy taking care of the goods, while Lao Liu sat under the canopy at the door with a small horse, gathered with the neighbors to play cards, and spent the afternoon leisure time.

Maybe because the weather is getting better, a few middle-aged and elderly men are playing cards, and they are also very interested in talking.

"Yo, what about playing?" At this moment, an old voice came from the side.

Lao Liu turned his head when he heard this, and saw a thin white-haired old lady walking over slowly.

He stood up and greeted respectfully, "Why did my aunt come here?" As he spoke, he threw a stinky card in his hand onto the small table, ignoring the protests of his players, and walked directly up to meet him.

"What fruit do you want today?"

"Your Uncle Li is making a fuss about eating grapes these days, you pick some good ones for me." The old lady replied, sighed again, and muttered: "The older I get, the more I want to be a child, it's really ......"

Lao Liu smiled, didn't dare to respond, turned around and went back to the store, and when he came out with his pocket, the old lady was gathering at the table, watching a few people play cards with interest.

"Next time you need something, just call me directly, and I'll send it to you." Lao Liu handed the bag to the old man.

The old man took the fruit, but gave him a blank look: "I'm not too old to walk." After saying that, he gave him the money, then turned around and left.

"Lao Liu, this old lady often comes, do you know?" The neighbor with good things asked.

"Aunt Meng is a distant relative of my family, who used to live in the capital and only came back last year to settle down." Lao Liu explained with a smile.

"Old man, they all pay attention to falling leaves and returning to their roots." Someone sighed.

Lao Liu poured a big sip of tea, seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly shouted to the store: "Master Yuanxing, come out and have a cup of tea." ”

The fate of the goods in it was just a hum, but the movements in his hands were still busy, and he had to rest, so he had to finish his work.

As everyone knows, the old lady who had arrived in the distance vaguely heard Lao Liu's shout, suddenly looked back, and saw that there was nothing special, so she shook her head with doubts on her face and left on her own.
