254, durian

July 3rd.

Li Nuo carried a red shoulder backpack and walked upstairs step by step by holding on to the handrail of the stairs.

A few days ago.

While in prison in Greenland, he was inexplicably released on bail.

Although they have been asked who did it, whether it is the people from the embassy or the people of that country, everyone has forgotten the root cause of this incident as if they had collectively lost their memory.

As a "little person", he also knows what to ask and what not to mix.

So, I didn't ask too much, anyway, judging by the results...... Just walk if you can.

Now that players have a lot of back roads, there's no need to get involved in the real world.

Until he boarded the plane, after finding the video of "Supermarket 18 Banned X Educational Film" on a certain website, Li Nuo could probably guess the root of this matter......

What are the Cairo people or related organizations doing behind the scenes?

caused the film to become a serious educational film, and he who participated in the filming became a ...... Ordinary photographer.

"Coming back?"

Cha Bai opened the door and handed Li Nuo a plastic bag through the door frame.

"Throw the garbage away."

"Let's throw it later......"

Li Nuo put the plastic bag at the door, put the bag on the ground after entering the house, and opened the bag chain without raising his head after closing the door.

"I need to go out ......"

"Do what?"

"At work, the day that I was supposed to report to the 'Cairo Comics Agency' was postponed for several days."

"Do you have to be today?"

"Go early and be steady, anyway, three days a week."

Li Nuo took his things out of his bag, got up and walked into the house.

Cha Bai opened the curtains and stretched out in the sun, revealing her slender waist in the light.

The vacuum cleaner is set up next to the door.

The interior of the house was spotlessly clean.

There was a warm current in his heart.

Stacks of empty boxes sit next to the computer desk.

There was a chill in his heart.

Cha Bai looked left and right, took off his stiletto heels, went barefoot to the back room and poured a glass of water and put it on the computer desk.

"The aunt downstairs gave it to me, saying that she was afraid that I would live with you and have no clothes to wear."

She glanced at the empty box on the floor.

"Ah...... I know which one it is...... Her son restocked, these are priceless things, a year ago I helped her catch her wife's cheating, this aunt said at the time, 'Kindness must be repaid'......"

Li Nuo picked up the empty box and glared at the dead fish.

"This old bustard is waiting for me here......"

The aunt's surname is Sun, when Li Nuo was a child, he went to the red light district to find his aunt for refuge, Aunt Sun was a well-known bustard in Shili and Eight Streets, and was later arrested and sentenced to a few years, and after coming out, he lived comfortably with a former prostitute.

This incident also made Li Nuo understand the magic of reality.

"It just doesn't fit, but the size of the clothes is okay." Cha Bai put away the shoes and packed them in batches: "She said that I have good legs, and it is good to wear more heels so that you can find another backer after you die." Cha Bai said that he smiled: "It's strange, they care about you on the one hand, and they are always thinking about death." ”

She looked up.

Li Nuo was undressing.

"Li Nuo......"

"Huh?"

Li Nuo threw his clothes on the sofa and met his blue eyes.

"You're here? I'm in the real world and may still be leaking......"

"Ah......h

"Are you okay?"

"I, go to work, I have to change my clothes, this one is too dirty."

Li Nuo replied with a blank eye, and tiptoed off his essence.

Chabai looked at Naoraku.

"You still want to."

"Tea White ......"

Li Nuo saw a terrible scene in his bedroom......

The bed was lifted up against the wall, leaving only a mattress on the clean floor.

"Spring mattresses can hold a weight of about 100 to 250 kilograms...... I did think about it before......"

"Tea White ......"

"Huh?"

"Who the hell wants to?"

"You."

The tea-white eyes skimmed the room, the bedroom crackled, and he didn't know what Li Nuo was looking for.

Less than a minute later, he walked out wearing a short-sleeved hoodie and trousers, and carrying a pair of unclean-looking shoes.

Li Nuo put on his shoes and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Don't go to space?"

"Marjie wants to use it at night, behind closed doors, saying that it is modifying my arm, and today we will solve it at home."

Although Li Nuo suspected that Marjie wanted to see some kind of forbidden superdream in his brain.

Chabai: "Whatever you want." ”

Li Nuo didn't say anything, opened the refrigerator, and wanted to get a slice of bread, but saw cans and drinks neatly arranged.

"These ......"

"I asked the uncle who opened the commissary of the Go Club to buy it."

"Actually, you don't have to buy it, you just need to go to the cloister."

"Aren't you going to stay up all night drawing?"

Li Nuo pursed his lips, took out a slice of bread and put it in his mouth, closed the refrigerator, and limped out of the house.

While Li Nuo left, Cha Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked over to the kitchen and opened the closed door.

Charred pans, cracked knives, messy minced meat and vegetables, and a plate that looked like it could poison a lion......

It's like Hell's Kitchen.

"It's a good thing he didn't see it."

Chabai, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard a knock on the door.

She immediately went to the sofa, picked up the pants that Li Nuo threw down, put them on, and shouted, "Here we are!" ”

……

Li Nuo, who was sitting on the bus, yawned.

Nowadays, young people basically choose the subway with a more accurate time, and most of the people who take the bus are elderly people with old age certificates.

The question is, Li Nuo is a young man, why does he take the bus?

Answer: The BUFF with muscle weakness is still popular in the real world, and the subway is crowded, and he is afraid that he will die, but he will not die.

In the car, except for him, there are all old men and old ladies, like a bus to the twilight of life.

An uncle was standing next to him and staring at him.

Li Nuo yawned again and looked at the window.

The scar in the left eye brought to reality, but the rest of the power did not.

He was becoming more and more curious about the distance between the "Endless Corridor" and reality.

"Ahem......"

The uncle next to him coughed lightly.

Li Nuo took out the standing cough medicine from his bag and handed it to the uncle who stood next to him like a loyal guard.

"Eat?"

"Don't eat it."

Li Nuo continued to look at the window, and the uncle was still looking at him.

The scenery outside the window retreated rapidly, Li Nuo looked at the scenery all the way, the uncle looked at him all the way, and when he arrived at the main station, Li Nuo was the first to get off the train, and the uncle was the last to get off.

When the uncle was sighing that the young man of this year didn't know how to give up his seat, he saw Li Nuo stop and stuff the cough syrup into the uncle's hand.

"Uncle, you really have perseverance......"

Uncle is messy in the wind.

Li Nuo quietly walked to the large business park at the corner of the road with his bag on his back.

Senior.

When Julie drove the elevator, she saw Li Nuo.

This woman's dress is the same as when she first met Li Nuo, with a white shirt, an over-the-knee skirt, the depth of the neckline, and the length of the skirt all look very decent.

When Zhu Li saw Li Nuo, she snorted angrily: "It's not easy to meet you." ”

Li Nuo smiled: "Ms. Zhu Li is sexy today with the red ...... that my house didn't tear down ten years ago."

"Shut up......" Julie interrupted in time, forgetting that she couldn't play tricks on this guy, she pressed the elevator button on the upper floor, and said, "Let's talk to the office." ”

Office space.

The space filled with hundreds of people was only the sound of the chassis.

Li Nuo limped behind Julie, and the employees stared at him invisibly.

Voices such as "That sick farmer painter", "He's really here", "He's a cripple", "Why does he have a scar on his face", "This kid is so young", and so on, the voices are as small as mosquitoes.

Julie coughed lightly, and the mosquitoes' voices stopped abruptly.

After stepping into the office with high heels and closing the door, Li Nuo looked around.

"How's the soundproofing for you here?"

"What do you want to do?"

As soon as Zhu Li walked to the desk, she turned her head and frowned and stared at Li Nuo, who was looking at the camera.

"Nothing...... Just wanted to comment that the management of your company is better than that of Greenland prisons. ”

"You kid...... There's thorns all over my body. ”

Li Nuo consciously sat down opposite Zhu Li.

The two were separated by a table, and the woman took out the contract and said, "Long story short, about your work, it's all in the new contract, take a look?" ”

……

"Girl, don't cook if you can't cook...... You ......"

Upstairs, Aunt Wang helped Cha Bai clean up the kitchen.

The aunt held the kitchen knife with a broken blade and exclaimed: "You kid, chop vegetables or chop stones." ”

It's just a break...... Tea white-bellied, took out the fruit brought by Aunt Wang at the door.

Aunt Wang is a property owner, and the community will occasionally bring a share to Li Nuo.

The things I brought this time were a bit pricey.

Durian*2

"Girl, don't move, that thing stings. I'll open it for you in a moment. ”

"It's on."

Aunt Wang turned around, her eyes stunned.

Cha Bai sat on the sofa, the split durian swinging on her lap.

The aunt looked at the durian that was opened, and then looked at Chabai, who only had one hand.

"What did you do?"

"Smashed."

Although Cha Bai's hand didn't hurt...... But the aunt still insisted on wrapping her with gauze, in case it was an internal injury.

Then Auntie's broken mouth came.

"How did you and that kid know Nuo?"

Cha Bai is not stupid, she can't say that she used to be an artificial person, because PokΓ© Ball knew it.

"Picked it up."

Concise and concise, infinite reverie.

The aunt calmly cut off the gauze, not surprised at all that this girl was full of nonsense, and everyone in the neighborhood from the film police to the sweeping uncle thought that she could get along with Li Nuo, either nerves or gods.

Cha Bai is a disability in the eyes of others, and she should be a poor girl.

Although she has gray hair and looks like a good girl who smokes and drinks, she can find that she is quite pure after a few exchanges.

I just can't speak human words.

For example, when a young man asked her age, Cha Bai had to insist that she was less than a year old, and she was very serious.

- I'm really less than a year old.

This is a good girl, but she has a bad brain.

"Why do you think you fell in love with Xiaonuo's child?"

"Who knows."

It's a bit of a pity for Auntie.

In their eyes, Li Nuo couldn't tell when he wouldn't have it, where such a good girl would have to go.

"Auntie......" Cha Bai shouted these two words with difficulty and asked, "You guys, why are you so good to him?" ”

This group of uncles and aunts always bring food to Li Nuo.

If it was before, Cha Bai would simply feel that it might be a matter of personal warmth.

Went through a lot.

I've seen a lot.

The warmth and coldness of human affection are not enough to support this kind of human kindness.

While putting away the kitchen waste, Aunt Wang stated: "That child, it wasn't like this when he was a child. ”

"What?" Cha Bai picked up the durian pulp and put it in his mouth, sweet ......

"Now you look at him, gentle, easy to get along with, harmless to people and animals, and a good boy if he doesn't understand him deeply." Aunt Wang sighed, raised her head, pondered and said: "When he was a child, he had to protect his mother, his whole body was like a thorn...... What kind of gas grenade......"

He is also like this now, tea white belly slander.

"And then?"

Her understanding of Li Nuo seems to be limited to the aftermath of acquaintance.

"And then dead, car accident." The aunt paused for a moment, and her heart was mixed: "We are all afraid that this child will burn down his house after the first seven days, and the small police officers in the neighborhood are squatting and guarding every day. ”

Kind, funny, broken-mouthed, and has an attitude towards everyone.

What the aunt wants to talk about is the current Li Nuo.

Cha Bai saw another.

Because there was no one to protect them, they pulled out the thorns.

Aunt Wang said: "This kid doesn't have a right head, but there are so many ideas, and our group of old men and old ladies rely on this kid to help us a lot." ”

She suddenly pointed to the durian on Cha Bai's leg and said, "Don't mention it, that kid is exactly the same as durian, looking full of thorns, in fact, it's quite sweet." ”

"Auntie......" Cha Bai smiled helplessly, always feeling that what Auntie said was awkward.

But Auntie was right.

Cha Bai picked at the pulp, put it on his fingertips and pinched it.

The durian has a hard shell and is full of thorns, but when peeled off, it is a soft and sweet flesh.

Aunt Wang knew the gaffe, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, I don't mean anything else, who knows how long this child can live, one day we will help one day, after all, he will help us first." ”

"He has indeed helped a lot of people......" Cha Bai whispered to himself, Emir, Yakol, Nanami, Chen Shou, V, Cairo-kun...... Or even some kind of world......

In this sense, Li Nuo, the priest, is quite competent.

Li Nuo has always had mixed tastes.

Soon after birth, he had congenital immunodeficiency syndrome, and he was blinded when he was young, and his father cheated, and only his mother took him.

Remembering the old in your heart, precociously coercing others, arming yourself.

The obedience of childhood, the loneliness of youth, like a bayonet, like an ice pick, sticking all the sharp blades to the body.

Only if you know that you can't be an honest ghost if you want to protect the people around you.

Later, my mother died.

That day, he locked himself in the house and spent the night pulling out the thorns that had been pierced in his body all those years.

When asked, they said that people cannot be resurrected after death.

He said so, but he actually thought that his mother must be in heaven, and he couldn't really go to hell.

Kindness is not to look down on it, but to think that by doing so, you can get one step closer to heaven.

Even if you don't believe that there is heaven and hell.

But people need to live with a thought.

It wasn't until the logic virus appeared on Cha Bai's body that Li Nuo re-glued the thorns to himself.

Cha Bai bites the durian fruit, and the soft and glutinous flesh grinds between the teeth.

After the aunt left, she was left alone in the house.

Looking at the bedroom, I saw that Li Nuo's cabinet with a token had forgotten to lock it.

She looked at the empty drawer, her eyes froze, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she pretended to be relaxed.

"Why go to work, I can't say anything."

She changed her clothes and picked up the crutches that had come to her door.

Kicking on his heels, which are not too high, he walked out of the house gently.

……

Li Nuo finished sweeping the company's summary of his comics.

The reason why his comics don't sell well is clear and clear.

First of all, Li Nuo is a cartoonist with a very special style and has been stereotyped.

The fineness of the drawing with the dipping pen and the lines outlined by the brushstrokes really make the picture different from the vitality of others.

The object of his service is fixed and special, and the leap of thinking makes it necessary for others to calm down and read the story well, but now is a fast-paced era, few people will have this kind of patience with a rookie cartoonist, and with this more screening process, there will be fewer readers.

In addition, everyone else is color drawing, and he is bent on admitting to the black and white drawing of the dipping pen, which causes the public to become farther and farther away from him.

Above, is the 1% factor.

99% of the factor is that Li Nuo changes every week.

"Hmm...... To put it bluntly, it is for me to increase the amount of updates. ”

"Otherwise, why would you be put on duty?" Julie took out a cigarette and lit it.

Li Nuo pointed to his nose and signaled not to smoke.

Zhu Li was surprised, hesitated, and snuffed out the cigarette she had just lit.

"Have you forgotten that I have a terminal illness?" Li Nuo said, looking at the camera.

"If you want to heal, you have to make money, right?" Julie said.

Li Nuo Yile: "If you don't speak human words, I won't speak human words either." ”

"Okay...... Zhu Li said cooperatively: "You are a smart person, do you want to leave a sum of money for your old friend?" If you want to, you can set up a person, and we're all ready. ”

"Huh, influencer?"

"What, literati?"

"Hahahaha!" Li Nuo smiled bitterly and cheaply: "How is it possible~ Am I like a person with a backbone?" How much? ”

Zhu Li picked her eyes: "It's much more than being a cowherd." ”

"That dream is shattered." Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Investigate me, the investigation is quite thorough?" ”

Julie: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Nuo looked at the camera indifferently: "Good old looks? ”

He grabbed the conversation before Julie spoke: "It's up to you how to arrange, I'll do my best." ”

A "do my best" even if it is a word that leaves a lot of space for himself.

Julie picked up her phone and looked at it.

"Sign it if you agree, and then go to the workstation to see, we have all arranged, and the rest is the work schedule, there are very few shifts three days a week, and the working hours are all flexible......"

Ms. Zhu Li...... May I ask if there is anything else going on today? ”

"Huh?"

"It's okay, I'll take a leave of absence."

"You took a leave of absence on the first day you came?"

"Looks like something else is going on." Li Nuo leaned back and crossed his legs: "Say." ”

"Are you a leader...... Zhu Li gritted her teeth, calmed down, and said calmly: "There is a dinner party after work, a ...... It's a dinner for your predecessor's cartoonists to celebrate sales, and you have to go there, on the one hand, to learn a lesson, on the other hand, to mix a familiar face, and on the other hand, to ask the company to ......"

Li Nuo: "Don't you go?" ”

"No ......"

As soon as Zhu Li's first word came out, a message came from the screen of her mobile phone.

"Okay."

Fifteen minutes later.

Top floor, conference room.

Zhu Li angrily pushed the door in: "What's going on...... Give him privileges just after joining the company? ”

"Here we are, Julie." Her boss turned his chair to face her, and nodded to a cube head in the shadows behind her: "This is Miss Cairo Ji from Earth-4 Moon." ”

A Cairo-kun with a pink hairpin turned his head and said to Julie: "(Β°Π΄Β°)Οƒ you guys really can't do things!" ”

Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, and someone in the conference room threw a mobile phone.

The woman reacted quickly to catch the phone that was like a wild boar ramming.

After the Cairo Starlings have planted their stuff on a strange planet, they usually do not invade, but they will hire Star Hunters to be stationed on the planet to manage it.

Julie is an interstellar hunter, and her original appearance is not what she is now, but a greenskin.

There are two types of Star Hunters: combat and communicative.

Julie is the latter, not strong in combat, but very good at learning and has a long lifespan, she has lived in two identities on Earth for more than 50 years.

But the content on the video still surprised Julie.

Racing car.

Fight.

The explosion of the skyrocketing flames.

Strafing of various machine guns.

and a blue tin toy car.

Cairo Ji said: "This is the Grand Prix held by the Hellstar in Cairo a while ago, and the guy with the hat and the cane is not familiar? ”

Julie: "Yes...... No way? Is it a face-change? ”

Cairo Ji slapped the table with her small hand, and the big screen projected the surveillance content of Li Nuo's way.

It can be seen that from the time Li Nuo left the house to the time he sat on the bus and looked at the scenery, he stared at the camera aimed at him accurately every time, including in Zhu Li's office, and his pupils were also looking at the camera intentionally or unintentionally.

"This guy has already told us by action that he is the prisoner who won the second place honor!"

"Is it possible for ordinary people to see through all the stalking along the way!"

"Prisoner?" Zhu Li's brows trembled: "Wait...... Isn't he just a sick man......"

"Who told you that!" Cairo Ji roared, "He is a prisoner who once committed the 'crime of killing' on a planet with mechanical life forms and artificial people! The god of war Haricle is the one who sponsors them, bastard! ”

Julie: "Huh? ”

Cairo Ji: "And his good friend, he comes from the artificial galaxy, and his partner is more complicated!" You idiots! When I first gave us the information, I felt that something was wrong! The prisoner who was so hard to appease, why do you have to provoke him! We got him out of the Greenland prison, do you think it was to get him to work on time! ”

Julie: "But, but...... What does this have to do with letting him go to the wine party at night? ”

Cairo Ji: "Ξ£(っ°Д°)っAre you a stupid dick!" ”

Julie gritted her teeth, if she hadn't been able to beat ......

One leader explained: "Julie, this is a comic book club, so you should know very well how to create a villain. ”

Julie furrowed her eyebrows.

"Super high intelligence...... A different way of thinking...... Great strength and potential ......"

"And then give him a bad life."

Cairo Ji: "So, the best way to imprison a dangerous guy is to let him live a good life right under your nose." ”

Julie: "That's ......"

"If he doesn't ask too much, let him do whatever he wants."

"Understood."

……

"Li Nuo...... You're not easy to repair. ”

"Don't, Brother Wang, I stole the lock with you, and you can't repair this broken bracelet anymore?"

Brother Wang is a laizi head, and pushed the bracelet broken into several pieces from the table to Li Nuo.

"No, when the break is broken into three or more pieces, it is okay to deal with it with gold or silver, but ...... Your bracelet is obviously missing. ”

Brother Wang raised his eyebrows and looked over.

"Li Nuo, this is left by Auntie, right? I remember that when you were a child, you and your mother came here to repair it, but if you miss a paragraph, it is less, and there is no need to repair this thing, and you won't give it to people, and you can't sell it at a good price. ”

"Ah...... Oops...... I'm sorry for skipping work......"

Li Nuo was dumbfounded......

The bracelet was indeed broken, he knew it, but he really didn't care if it was missing......

Just like Brother Wang said, he originally thought that he was a thing that saw things and thought about people, but he couldn't use it, so he just saved it and put it on the table......

I don't know if I'll have to use it one day.

Brother Wang was puzzled: "Are you at work?" ”

"Not so." Li Nuo said: "If you don't go to work, do you go to school? ”

"I'll go, you can forget it, just your virtue of walking lame without crutches, hurry up and leave your job, I'll give you a job and help me draw things......"

"I don't work for acquaintances."

Li Nuo left a sentence, put away the bracelet, and limped out of the door, scolding by the way, lame and not because of illness...... Is it muscle weakness......

Walk out of the store for dozens of meters.

Li Nuo bought a baked cake at a nearby grain store and put it on his mouth.

There are only two things in mind.

Go back and calculate the whole new bracelet to recharge.

Go back and make something for Chabai.

When he was thinking about it, his eyes unconsciously glanced in front of the intersection.

Short white hair is conspicuous in this place.

Cha Bai sat on a stone pier, wearing an over-the-knee dress, a blue coat to block his broken arm, holding a cane in one hand and crutches on the ground.

The fair-skinned silky calves stepped on wedge sandals, and the blue eyes kissed him all the time.

Li Nuo rubbed his eyes, put the baked cakes into a plastic bag, put on a "terrible" expression, and squeezed a smiling face: "Why are you ......?"

"You didn't lock the drawer, I saw something missing from it." Cha Bai smiled: "Ever since you said you were going to give me a bracelet, I remembered it, you were not here during this time, and I saw it when I cleaned up the house." ”

"That's right...... But how do you know......"

Chabai smiled and said, "I asked the uncle of the shop, and he said that the nearest bracelet repair shop is near here, and if you follow the trail of the group of people who are watching you, you can find it." ”

Li Nuo looked around slightly, and there were far fewer "Cairo" people watching him.

He asked, "How long have you been waiting?" ”

"Two hours."

"Well, let's go......"

Cha Bai shook his head, put his cane between his legs, sat down, and stretched out his hand.

"Bracelets."

Li Nuo smiled awkwardly.

"It's broken, it's missing, and it can't be repaired."

Cha Bai still stretched out his hand, unmoved.

Li Nuo's pupils moved.

He slipped the wrapped bracelet into his pocket, then pulled out a small strip of cloth.

With his fingers trembling slightly, he tied the strip of cloth to his wrist.

"Is that okay?"

"Yes."

Cha Bai put down her hand, her face as calm as water hid joy, and she handed the cane to Li Nuo.

"Don't lose anything when you go out in the future, it's not good for you to walk now."

"Just send me a trip for this?"

"Well, what else?" When she answered, she looked down at the "broken bracelet" on her wrist.

Li Nuo shook his head invisibly with guilt and guilt.

"Let's go."

He was on crutches, Cha Bai dragged his other arm, and the two walked slowly and quietly on the walking path.

"Chabai, come with me to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, what do you want to eat at night?"

"Whatever."

"Then eat fish."

"Why do you keep making fish for me?"

"Because in the game you die when you eat fish."

Cha Bai was silent for a few seconds: "I don't eat fish ......"

"What to eat?" Li Nuo said with a humble eye: "Otherwise, go to the corridor, pick up the old horse, and rub it together." ”

"Then you make me think about it."

Li Nuo couldn't hold back his mouth: "It's the same...... The physique that can't be pulled out by eating anything ......"

Cha Bai glanced at him: "You mouth...... Be quiet. ”

Footsteps are silent.

"Li Nuo, I want to eat durian."
