twenty-five
But instead of returning the box to her, the madman grinned: "Speak as if I were not a rural child." ”
At this point, she stopped talking, just silently followed the madman, the flow of people on this long street was in a hurry, and even more so the traffic was in a hurry, and all of them had their own directions and purposes, of course, the madman and Lili also had at the moment.
When there was another extremely cold wind blowing, giving people a different kind of piercing feeling, as if they had been scratched by a blade, it hurt very much, and the madman immediately shivered, and she was even more, she was so thinly dressed, the jeans were not round, obviously there were no warm pants inside, the upper body was black, like the cute clothes worn by children, and the pattern of two bears hugging each other, but the clothes were still thin, and she pulled the zipper of the clothes to death, so she also shivered.
The madman took her to the door of the hotel, she saw this, there was a different kind of light in her eyes, under the transmission of the hotel light, this light looked so sad, the madman casually said that she would go to eat first, and she just bowed her head silently and said, she was looking for a house, and she had to pay the rent.
The madman understood what she was talking about in an instant, and there must not be much money in her pocket, just like he himself had just arrived at the Internet company, so the madman spoke: "Girl, do you know? When I first arrived at the Internet company, I had no money, no cigarettes, and no quilts, so my master took me to eat that night, beef noodles, gave me cigarettes to smoke, and even found me a quilt at night, and now, I invite you. ”
She seemed to want to say something, but she wanted to say something, so she silently bowed her head and followed the madman into the restaurant, this is a beef ramen restaurant, in fact, for the madman, the noodles in the noodle restaurant are no longer expensive at this time, even if it is to add meat, it is only fifteen yuan a bowl, the madman carefully asked her if she eats coriander, and then ordered two bowls of ramen, one of which did not have coriander.
There will be quite a lot of people in the ramen restaurant, it looks quite lively, the people are noisy, and there is even an air conditioner inside, which is very warm, but outside the restaurant, the cold wind is howling, and it looks like it's going to rain, right?
Oh, by the way, in fact, the big city where the madman is located belongs to the southern zone, and the chance of seeing snowflakes in winter is almost zero, and even if it is cold here in winter, even if it is frozen, then it will only be a downpour in the cold wind.
It seems to be a very warm restaurant, it is hot inside, the madman has eaten with her, she has to pay, but the madman stops her, and then the two go out again, it has already rained outside, under the sunset-colored street lamp, these drizzles are like some kind of fog, if it is not for this extremely cold weather, it can even make people feel like they are in a fairyland at the moment.
The madman's pace quickened, and so did she, because the daylight hours were shortened in winter, and it was dark at about six o'clock in the afternoon, passing through the deep alleys, where there were no street lights, it was pitch black, and it was even more cold when the wind passed through the deep alleys, making strange whistling sounds, which made people feel creepy.
The madman suddenly thought of something, and wanted to place her under a gatehouse in a deep alley, and he himself wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine, but she was afraid, and she said, "You're not going to leave me here, are you?" I don't know the way, and I don't know where to go. ”
Her voice was trembling, obviously terrified, the madman was right to think about it, it was really unsafe to leave her here alone, she was so beautiful, and it was so dark that it was as cold as the world of the dead, and it was terrifying, so the madman decided to take her, so he was carrying the box again, and she was close behind, but the madman knew that she was shaking, and it was estimated that the weather was too cold, and it was too dark here, right?
The madman took her out of the alley again, bought two packs of cigarettes at the commissary at the door, and a bottle of strong Beijing Erguotou, he couldn't wait, opened the liquor and drank two sips, and suddenly the burning feeling of the liquor made the madman seem to find himself again.
But the madman looked at the tungsten light bulb in the commissary, and the owner of the commissary, an old man, looked curiously at the tungsten bulb above his head, and then asked the madman, "What do you want me to do with the electric lamp?" ”
The madman smiled slightly: "Boss, you don't have the heating in your house, right?" Mosquitoes don't come out. ”
The old man turned his head to look at the madman in great confusion, but he didn't say anything, because he knew the madman, and the madman often bought wine and cigarettes from him, and the old man knew that the madman seemed to be a little abnormal, so he just shook his head after being confused.
But when the madman turned his head, she looked at him blankly, and the madman knew that he might have lost his temper, so he took another big sip of wine with the bottle, and hurried back to the deep alley.
She still followed, just without saying a word, but the madman currently feels that it is very inconvenient to hold a wine bottle in his left hand and a box in his right hand, because he always has to change hands, and the box is indeed a little too heavy, and even the misty drizzle falling in the dark night sky, coupled with the howling of the cold wind, makes the madman feel at this moment that life is so heavy, no! I want Yuhan, such a cold winter, I don't know how she should spend Yuhan, do you want to send a text message to ask?
"Snakes! Come on! ”
The madman suddenly screamed, which scared Lili half to death, and she screamed with fright, as if she was crying, right? After all, this alley is really a little too scary at night, and when you get to the middle, away from the noise of the city, all that remains here is the whirring sound of the cold wind passing through, and the only thing that seems to come from the world of the dead.
In such a situation, not to mention Lili, this girl, is a madman who comes here for the first time, and it doesn't happen to be night that day? He himself was frightened by the madman that time, and now the madman says that there are snakes, and it is strange that Lili is not afraid.
The madman ran forward like a madman, Lili screamed, chasing behind in embarrassment, as if trying to chase the vague shadow of the madman, but fortunately, the madman ran with a weight, and he must not have run very fast, all the way to the big yard, there was a street lamp, and this street lamp was deliberately placed at the door by the landlord, which can be said to be a private item, not a public property.
She stood next to the madman, her big eyes flashed with tears, she was frightened by the madman just now, her breath was a little uncertain, her whole body was trembling, but the madman was short of breath, laughing, and then the madman said: "Really, really, cowardly, look at you, scare you." ”
After the madman finished speaking, he lifted the wine bottle and drank two big sips, accompanied by a coughing sound, it seemed that she was choked by the liquor, and she pursed her lips, as if biting her own lip, her face was slightly pale, and the tears in her eyes were really rolling, as if she wanted to say something to such a madman at this moment, but she wanted to stop talking.
The madman came to his senses after a long time, and then he took her to the courtyard, found the landlord, and rented a house for only one hundred and fifty yuan, and the madman saw that she only had three hundred dollars in her pocket, or three new one hundred, which would remove two hundred, because the small room also required a fifty yuan deposit.
At this moment, she seemed to be confused again, and she spoke: "Master, I'm going to buy a quilt, where is it?" ”
The madman looked at this extremely small room, it is estimated that it is only four or five square meters, right? A tattered tungsten light bulb overhead, a bed, and a tow board, there was nothing left here, and now there was her, and there was a madman, and her suitcase.
Under the tungsten light like the color of the sunset, her long black hair was full of water droplets, it seemed that the drizzle outside was no joke, and it must be cold at night here, and the madman knew that she needed a thick, thick quilt, and maybe an electric blanket, but for her, a new employee of an Internet company? In fact, it is completely impossible to meet these standards.
The madman saw that under the tungsten light of the sunset, her clothes were extremely thin, and even a pair of sneakers on her feet, it looked like the kind of boys were wearing, maybe they were originally worn by boys, right? And she was shivering, but it was definitely not because she was scared at the moment, but just because she was cold.
The madman lit a cigarette and said: "I live next door next door next door, if anything happens, just shout crazy man, I'm here, I feel that this wall will not be soundproof on the other eight floors." ”
But she couldn't be happy at all, her eyes revealed a different kind of brilliance, it was confused, helpless, helpless, the madman just lit a cigarette, drank a few sips of liquor, and then said: "Let's go, I'll take you to buy a quilt." ”
She went out, locked the door, and then she followed the madman again, and once again walked into the deep and dark alley, this time she didn't seem to be as scared as she had been, at least her steps became a little steady, but this step was still confused and even helpless.
Oh? The madman listened to her slight footsteps, and instantly understood, understood that she was a part-time worker, and even more so a dreamer, and she was just one of the thousands of dreamers at this moment. The madman thought of this and lit a cigarette again, the madman didn't say anything, just took her to the clothes store, the female boss in her thirties was very gracious, but her face was full of confusion, and her eyes were full of light.
In the warm clothes store, she was flustered, and her face was full of expressions about to cry, and the madman just said that the cotton coat looked good, and by the way, she would take another set of women's thermal underwear, right?
She was still flustered, she wanted to speak and stopped, there were tears in her eyes, she didn't know what to say, right? And the madman just paid two hundred and thirty-five dollars, without bargaining, because two hundred and thirty-five dollars is not a lot for the current madman.
The madman was holding her thermal underwear in his hand, she was wearing a pink woolen cotton coat, and the madman was still carrying his wine bottle in his left hand, drinking wine, and buying a quilt, a very cheap quilt that cost fifty yuan, and a thick quilt of one hundred and ten yuan, and the madman said, the bad quilt was made on the bed, and the thick quilt was covered.
She still had a hundred dollars in her pocket, and she said that she needed a hot water bottle to buy a thermos, and the little shop had these things, and this time it cost her money, and she carried them with the madman into the deep and dark alleys once again.
