"Hello, this is your meal, I wish you a pleasant meal."

In a KFC restaurant on Zhongcheng Road, Chu Qing, who was standing at the front desk in staff uniforms, brought the plate in his hand to a girl.

After the girl took it, she asked a little embarrassedly, "Little brother, can I add your VX?" ”

"I'm sorry, this guest, it's working time, if the manager finds out about doing this kind of thing, I will be deducted from my salary."

Through the transparent mask, Chu Qing said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, excuse me." After all, the girl was thin-skinned and ran away in a bit of a panic with a plate.

Seeing her running away, Chu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother Qing, you can rest for a while, I'll take care of you." A colleague who seemed to have rested said to Chu Qing while wearing his staff uniform.

"Okay." Chu Qing said with a smile.

Back in the locker room, Chu Qing took off his staff uniform, stood in front of the window, and watched the heads as small as black ants coming and going below, and occasionally saw a few 'ants' of different colors crashing into Chu Qing's line of sight and crashing out again.

Chu Qing looked a little stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You kid, use me as a shield again, right?"

At this moment, the door to the locker room was opened, and a tall figure in a suit entered.

Chu Qing looked back and said with a smile: "Manager Li is good." ”

Li Ruoxian waved his hand, walked to Chu Qing's side, picked up a cigarette, and handed another one to Chu Qing, "Come on?" ”

"The Great Age of Genes"

Chu Qing shook his head: "I'm only eighteen, and I can't smoke." ”

"Oh yes, you're only eighteen." Hearing this, Li Ruoxian withdrew the cigarette case in his hand, "But looking at your usual appearance, you really don't look like eighteen." ”

"It's always a good thing to be sensible."

"Indeed." Li Ruoxian nodded approvingly.

"I heard from the front desk that it's good to ask you for a VX girl this time, why do you still refuse?"

"What, am I here at KFC or Cowherd?" Chu Qing said angrily.

"Hey, you can't say that," Li Ruoxian laughed, "If it's really a cowherd shop, I'll break your legs if you don't pick up customers." ”

"How can a person who came to KFC at the age of eighteen to work part-time to subsidize the family give that kind of girl a future?" Chu Qing laughed at himself.

"Why not?" Li Ruoxian opened the window and lit a cigarette, "If you want to see the people below, no matter how clean the window is, it's better to open it." ”

"I know, I'm just missing the hand that opened the window." Chu Qing said.

"I have it," Li Ruoxian shook his hand in front of Chu Qing, "As long as you are willing, not to mention the entire Origin Star, as long as it is the window of the Eastern Divine Prefecture, I have the ability to open it for you." ”

"You can drink, you can't drink to drink with the dog." Chu Qing rolled his eyes, "Besides, I still hope that it is my own hand that opens the window." ”

With that, Chu Qing closed the window in front of him again and walked out of the dressing room.

Only Li Ruoxian was left alone smoking a cigarette, looking at the ants below through the window, with a smile on his face.

......

At ten o'clock in the evening, a part-time temporary worker like Chu Qing could already get off work.

Saying goodbye to his colleagues, Chu Qing put on his shoulder bag and prepared to go home.

"You... Hello..."

As soon as Chu Qing stepped out of the store, he saw someone greeting him.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be the girl who asked herself about VX during the day.

Chu Qing didn't expect this little girl to be here, and asked with some surprise: "Hello, wait for someone here?" ”

The little girl became more shy when she heard this, and said softly, "I... Waiting for you here..."

"Wait for me?" Chu Qing pointed at himself, "Why?" ”

"Wait for you to get off work..."

"Waiting here all the time?"

The little girl shook her head, "I'll go back after eating during the day, and I'll come at half past nine in the evening." ”

"Why are you waiting for me to get off work?" Chu Qing asked.

"I want your VX ......"

Chu Qing was silent.

"Why, why would you want a VX from someone like me?" After a long time, Chu Qing raised his head and looked at the girl.

"Do you know me?"

The girl was stunned and shook her head.

"So you just look at me with a face like this, and you want to ask me for VX, right?" Chu Qing's face became even more indifferent, and he asked.

The girl wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Chu Qingqing walked from afar, "If you really want to understand me, just follow me." ”

Looking at Chu Qing's figure gradually moving away, the girl stomped her foot and followed.

The two walked one after the other, walked through the downtown area, walked through the residential buildings, walked through the villa area, and finally Chu Qing stopped in front of an ancient mansion.

The large rusty iron gate locks everything in the courtyard, and it seems that the slightest peep from the outside world is not allowed to see.

The ground was covered with dead leaves, crumbling and dilapidated.

Beneath the layers of creepers and vines are peeling walls, the old sparsely maintained fountain pools have long since dried up, and the stones on both sides are incomplete, looking strange and cold.

Even the dim streetlights on the side of the road can only reflect the grim silhouette of this ancient house.

The girl was a little panicked, he couldn't understand how Canghai City, one of the top cities in the Chixiao Country, could have this kind of 'mildew' that was both frightening and disgusting.

"So, let's go, the farther you go, the better."

The girl turned her head, and under the moonlight, Chu Qing's face was unrealistically beautiful, like an urban strange tale that no one knew about in Canghai City, and like a lonely cold immortal coming down from the bright moon.

It's just that she stumbled upon it, and that's his grace and warning to an intruder like her.

Come on.

The girl fled.

Standing in front of the big iron door, Chu Qing sighed, took out the key, untied the chain tied to the door, and struggled to push the door open in a sharp and piercing sound.

"I'm back......"

In the dark, no one responded.

Chu Qing entered the house and found the location of the lamp very skillfully.

So, as if a soul had returned to its place, the monster that inhabited the city opened its dim eyes.

Fortunately, KFC has staff meals, and Chu Qing doesn't have to be hungry until now.

Speaking of which, this mansion is all the property left to him by Chu Qing's parents who don't know his whereabouts.

A long time ago, this place was called "Canghai Marble Pavilion", at that time, this one lasted five years, the courtyard that cost a huge amount of money to build can be described as very luxurious, the flowers in the courtyard are not thanked at four o'clock, the green pines and cypresses outside the courtyard are evergreen, the luxury in the building is needless to say, the owner is the leading dignitary in the sea, and the door is full of traffic every day......

But that was 90 years ago.

The world is always changing too fast, in just 90 years, from the old era of steam to the electronic age, from the electronic age to the new electronic age; The world went from chaos to peace, and from peace to chaos...... There's so much going on, but so few things to remember, that the things that need to be remembered don't need to be remembered very much.

Today's Marble Pavilion, after a brief period of glory, has fallen into a long period of silence and weakness, and has been forgotten by most people along with something else.

Wild grass is overgrown, the luxury of the past is gone, creepers have covered the cracks in the mottled walls, most of the sculptures in the courtyard have been broken and broken, and the decay of the human breath and the luxuriance of the plants have turned the house into a haunted house that is not famous.

But for Chu Qing, the mansion in front of him was already the most intimate thing in the world.

Of course, there are also all kinds of small animals that stay in the Marble Museum.

"The current balance of the savings account with tail number 6211 is 2643.44 yuan......"

Chu Qing looked at the balance of his bank card and couldn't help but have a headache.

Li Ruoxian does take good care of himself, doing part-time work and paying the salary of a regular employee, but Chu Qing, who grew up eating 100 family meals, knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

Including the words that Li Ruoxian said to himself in the dressing room during the day, he knew that he had any value in himself that was worth Li Ruoxian's doing.

But what is your worth? Chu Qing smiled bitterly.

Could it be that Li Ruoxian really has a cowherd shop that lacks the first card?

He shuddered, not daring to think any further.

Let's sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow......

Lying on the bed, Chu Qing, who was confused by the lake, thought of the girl during the day again.

She's really good...

Then she can't be delayed......

Chu Qingyuan fell into a deep sleep.
