Chapter 7: Return to Ling'an (3)
When Lu Gusong walked out, it was already completely dark, only the yellowish street lamps illuminated the road, and a gust of wind passed through the tombstone of Shiligang behind him and made a "woo" sound, with the surrounding illusion, it really seemed that there was a ghost wailing. www.biquge.info No wonder Lu Gusong hadn't seen anyone when he came before, and there were still people wandering around the cemetery at this time.
Lu Gusong looked at his phone, unfortunately, he had missed the last bus. There was no way, Lu Gusong had to hold the trembling little yellow dog and walk along the road, hoping to meet a car on the way to give him a ride. However, he walked all the way without seeing a single car, and by the time he walked all the way to the city limits, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Lu Gusong looked around, he just walked around casually, and actually came to the vicinity of his high school, looking at those familiar buildings, Lu Gusong was inevitably a little embarrassed. But now is not the time for him to reminisce, he took the car to Shiligang in the morning, and did not come back until night, his stomach was already empty, and he had to find something to eat for the weak little guy in his arms. It's just that at this point, most of the stores have already closed, do you want to go to KFC?
"That's right!" Lu Gusong suddenly thought of a store, which was opened next to Lu Gusong High School. That shop would open late, and every night after self-study, hungry students would go there to order something to eat, and Lu Gusong was no exception.
"It should be around there. Lu Gusong searched around with his memory. Sure enough, after a while, I saw a bright shop, and the sign on the lintel was a little old, but I could still vaguely see the words "Xiaopan casserole" on the sign.
Lu Gusong entered the door and found a place to sit down, to be honest, Lu Gusong was not sure if this store was still open, because now even high school students have already fallen asleep, but since it is open, it is excellent, and Lu Gusong of the province will find another place.
"Boss, let's have a three-fresh casserole. At this time, there was no one in the store, so Lu Gusong shouted at the inner kitchen.
A slightly chubby face poked out of the kitchen, with an apple in its mouth. "Boss, a three-fresh casserole, and, please bring two ham sausages. Lu Gusong took the little yellow dog out of his arms and put it on the ground.
The fat man retracted his head again, and in a moment he took out two ham sausages. "It's so late and still outside, come out to surf the Internet?" said the fat boss angrily, handing the ham sausage to Lu Gusong.
"I'm not a high school student!" Lu Gusong responded with a smile, biting open the package of ham sausages, breaking a small piece and throwing it to the little yellow dog, "But I graduated from that high school, and I can be regarded as a regular customer of your family." But I remember that the owner of this shop was a man in his fifties. ”
"Oh, that's my old man. The fat boss happened to be idle, so he chatted with Lu Gusong, "I graduated from college and had nothing to do, so I took over this small shop, and my old man opened another one in the east of the city." ”
"Yes, what college do you go to?" Lu Gusong teased the little yellow dog with ham sausage, but the little yellow dog didn't even look at it.
"I graduated from Jinling Art Institute. The fat boss replied.
"It's a prestigious school, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a job...... It's strange why this dog doesn't eat ham sausages. Lu Gusong talked to the fat boss without a stubble, and put the ham sausage to the little yellow dog's mouth, but the little yellow dog actually turned his face away.
"I don't want to do any graphic design, I want to be a teacher, I have what I want to do, and now I just open this small shop to make a living. The fat boss seemed a little angry, and took a bite of the injured apple.
Unexpectedly, hearing the sound of the boss biting the apple, the little yellow dog who had been wilting his head suddenly raised his head, and looked at the apple in the fat boss's hand in a daze, and his black eyes actually gave out a longing light.
The changes in the little yellow dog naturally couldn't escape Lu Gusong's eyes, but he couldn't figure out how a dog could be interested in apples, but now the puppy doesn't eat ham sausages, so Lu Gusong had no choice but to say to the fat boss: "Boss, give it your apple." ”
"What?" The fat boss thought he had misheard, but Lu Gusong immediately nodded to him, and the fat boss looked at the little yellow dog staring at him, with his tail wagging like a fan, and then looked at the apple in his hand, and hesitated for a moment or threw the half-eaten apple to it. Who knew that the little yellow dog saw the apple flying, the original languishing expression was swept away, the body bounced up from the ground at once, intercepted the apple in mid-air, and ran to the side to gnaw on the "library of words", which looked very disobedient, and the four little short legs were still holding the apple hard, as if they were afraid that others would come to grab it.
Looking at the little yellow dog's eating appearance, the corners of Lu Gusong's eyes twitched, and the fat boss smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Heh, brother, your dog is characteristic enough!"
Lu Gusong coughed embarrassedly, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, boss, you said that you have something you want to do, what is it?"
Hearing Lu Gusong mention this, the fat boss's originally smiling face suddenly became a little confused, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a deep puff, but was choked and coughed. But he didn't care at all, but twitched one bite after another, his eyes were a little wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Why are you smoking again, how many times have you said it, it's not good for your health!" At this time, a girl with an apron came out of the back kitchen, seeing that the girl was not very old, although she was a little baby fat, but her face was quite delicate.
"It's okay, I suddenly want to take a puff!" the fat boss snuffed out the cigarette butt that was still burning with his hand, and when he turned around, he already had that harmless smile on his face.
The girl sighed, she knew that the fat boss must have something on his mind when he smoked, but unfortunately there were some things that men would never say to women. She put the casserole in her hand in front of Lu Gusong, nodded to Lu Gusong, and then whispered to the fat boss: "It's not too early, don't talk too late with the guests, close the door early and rest!" After speaking, the girl slowly paced back.
"My wife, who was originally our landlord's daughter, was chased by me. The fat boss said to Lu Gusong with a smile, his smile seemed very gentle, but Lu Gusong still sensed the sadness behind his smile.
"Just now, I'm sorry. Lu Gusong looked ashamed.
"It doesn't matter. The fat boss scratched his head, "Dude, I think I'm quite close to you, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you, just don't laugh at me if you hear it." ”
"No, it won't. Lu Gusong said.
The fat boss took out another cigarette and lit it: "Everyone will have their own dreams, the difference is that some people stick to it, and some people give up, I think I can be regarded as the former for the time being." I've loved watching martial arts movies since I was a child, but my dream is not to be one of those sword-wielding warriors, but to forge a unique magic soldier. I was fascinated by them from the first time I saw them, and my only hobby when I was not happy was studying all kinds of sword-making knowledge when I was young. But in modern society, cold weapons have long become collectibles, and the swordsmith industry has declined, so I can only study it myself, and the university also specializes in art schools to see if I can learn something useful. It's a pity that such things have been researched for more than ten years. The fat boss wiped his greasy hands on his apron, and carefully took out a few stacks of boxy white paper from his pocket and handed them to Lu Gusong.
Lu Gusong unfolded the blank paper, and drew a vivid long sword on the first one, which showed that the fat boss was not only very attentive to this sword, but also learned his art very well. The fat boss was able to draw such a realistic sword just by his own imagination, looking at this painting, Lu Gusong could even feel a cold light rushing to his face.
"Good sword!" Lu Gusong couldn't help but exclaim, and then he opened several other blank papers, on which were the three views of the sword and its various parts, and the dimensions and even materials of each part of the long sword were completely marked on the paper. Don't look at this is just an ordinary construction diagram, in which the fat boss's hard work is immeasurable.
"Of course a sword is a good sword, I don't know how many books I have read about it for my dream, and all the knowledge is gathered in this sword. After my calculations, the resistance of its slashing and stabbing is theoretically extremely small, and the material of the sword I have also studied with my knowledge of material science, and its hardness and toughness should also be excellent!" The fat boss was talking about this design as if he was talking about his own child, his whole face was ruddy, but his face quickly darkened again, "It's a pity, no matter how good it is, it's only theoretical, whether this sword is good or not, you have to cast it to know, but where do I go to cast this sword?"
Saying that, the fat boss took another puff of cigarette: "My family has paid too much for my unrealistic dream over the years. I could have had a hard time with my dreams, but I really didn't want to see my parents disappointed anymore! and my wife, who already had our children...... Perhaps, it's time for me to give up!"
