"Ah...... Quasi? Zhuo Jiu touched his chin, and the embarrassed stubble began to pop up, a little prickly.

"Ouch, that's what Uncle meant!" The girl looked at him speechlessly, and then asked, "Forget it, let's call it uncle!" Uncle, where are you from, and what are you doing in Star City? ”

Zhuo Jiu's face was complicated.

If you really want to talk about it, he is now in his early thirties, but compared to the young girl in front of him...... Calling it uncle, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

It's just that this fresh title still makes him have a complex emotion for no reason.

yes, he's in his thirties...... Isn't it time to find a place to settle down, and then find a stable livelihood so that you can settle down?

You can't just run around like this, fly in the air all your life, live in an ethereal dream, and then go to the end of your life......

is like the line in his favorite movie "The True Story of A Fei":

"I've heard people say that there is a bird in this world that has no legs, it can only fly all the time, and when it is tired of flying, it sleeps in the wind, and this kind of bird can only go to the ground once in its life, and that is when it dies."

The long street is so deep that it seems that there is no end in sight.

The quarrels of men and women are mixed with the sound of objects shattering; The men were drunk, bragging and reminiscing about the pride; The vulgar jokes in the TV show, mixed with laughter one after another, converge into everything in the world......

Of course, there is also the old stereo of I don't know which one, and sad songs are played intermittently.

It is as if through time and space, and the sound is in the ears.

It must be a woman.

Because of this song, Zhuo Jiu knows.

Zhao Lei's "Thirty-Year-Old Woman".

"At the age of thirty, the light and passion have been polished by the years, is it a life of one person, faster than two people......"

Heh-

A hint of bitterness flashed across Zhuo Jiu's face.

He wasn't sure if one person's life would be happier than the other, but he only remembered it occasionally, and it seemed to ...... It's a bit lonely!

Somehow, with the singing, his originally restless heart slowly became calm.

After thinking about it, he also smiled and asked, "Can't I be a native of Star City?" ”

"Natives?"

The girl tilted her head and thought with a face, "You can't be a local, how can a local still carry a backpack in the middle of the night and wander around the street?" ”

I saw her behind her back and looked at Zhuo Jiu with a smug expression, looking like I had seen through you.

"Yes!"

Zhuo Jiu rubbed his chin helplessly, "You guessed right!" ”

"Then I guess, you must be here to work!" The girl's face was proud, "Let's talk about it!" If you want to find a job, I can introduce you to it! ”

"Do you still have what it takes?" Zhuo Jiu asked in surprise.

"That's it! If you live in the hotel, you will send an employment guide, uncle, you have earned it! The girl smiled, "By the way, I almost fooled you, uncle, where are you from?" ”

"Where ......"

Zhuo Jiu was a little confused.

After wandering for so long, at the beginning, whenever he went to a place, he always thought that it would be his final destination, but in the end, he would always choose to leave for various reasons.

Later, wandering really became a habit.

The memory of home has become turbulent and ethereal in the tossing and turning.

After walking for a long time, sometimes he even forgot where he came from and where he was going.

Zhuo Jiu let out a long sigh and said softly, "I come from a far, far away place......

With that, he stopped talking.

The girl was obviously very clever, especially the one in front of her, who should have been in charge of the affairs of the house very early, and therefore, was far more precocious than the flowers of the greenhouse.

Slender, sensitive, good at observing words and feelings.

She naturally felt the change in Zhuo Jiu's mood, so she didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

In this way, the two of them strolled forward and backward in the long alley with no end in sight.

"By the way, I forgot to ask, what do you call uncle?"

The girl suddenly stopped, stood in place and looked at Zhuo Jiu, "I can't always call you uncle!" ”

"I ...... Or call me Stone! Zhuo Jiu blurted out without thinking.

"Stones?" The girl's face was disgusted, "What a strange name......"

"Brother Stone...... Uncle Stone...... Otherwise, I'll call you Brother Shi in the future! ”

Zhuo Jiu's face was stunned, and when he looked up, the girl was looking at him as a matter of course, "Uncle Shi always sounds a little weird, and Brother Shi sounds more natural." ”

"Besides, I took a closer look at you just now and found that you are not that old! Hee-hee! ”

"By the way, my name is Qingyao."

"Elegant Qing, Yaoqin's Yao."

"Qing Yao's ......"

After the girl finished speaking, she lowered her head and turned away.

The cold wind blew lightly, and on the street lamp, two figures, one large and one small, entered the shadows from time to time, and then stepped into the light...... The endless long night, accompanied by strings of laughter like silver bells, inexplicably became warm.

"By the way, Brother Shi, if you really plan to enter the factory, you must tell me!"

"There are a few factories that look formal on the surface, but in fact they can't keep people!"

"Either the working hours are long, or the unit price is low."

"By the way, Brother Shi, do you have a girlfriend! Do you want me to introduce you to a few factories, the kind of factory sister at most?

……

The continuous questions made Zhuo Jiu, a person with a slight social fear, feel overwhelmed.

That's when he realized that he seemed to be ...... Trapped?

After walking for so long, it is still so far away from this so-called destination......

Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder, she was going to the intersection to intercept customers.

At this distance, which good family would open a store in such a corner.

The girl was also obviously a little weak-hearted, and she had been able to barely stabilize the situation by constantly throwing up questions.

However, this so-called Brother Shi is too taciturn, and he usually runs out with five or six questions to get a few words from her......

"Soon, it's ahead."

The girl's steps became more and more hurried, and she pointed to a light sign in the distance.

The alley was long, and there was only one light sign, which shone faintly, and because there was still a short distance, he couldn't see what was written on the light sign for a while.

It's a guillotine road.

At the end of the road, there is a towering fence that separates the two ends of the alley into two worlds.

Only this small inn exists alone in the corner.

This business, without thinking about it, is not much better.

Zhuo Jiu turned his head and looked at Qing Yao on the side.

I saw that her cheeks were flushed, and her face was full of embarrassment.

Of course, he didn't say anything, and after a while, the two came to the front of the two-story hotel.

The light sign shone with a faint light.

The name is very good: Qingyao Hostel.
