Chapter 11 The Wine Shop
It was approaching midnight, the night was getting dark, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although at night, the vicinity of Lingao is very lively, but this is not the city center after all, and Jiangshi is not an international metropolis. It was so late, and the market was quiet.
Lin You saw at a glance that the lights of several song and dance halls and taverns were still on.
The dazzling neon tubes of the dance hall stand out in the darkened streets, but they also lack a little flashy feeling, but there is a sense of silence and loneliness.
There is also a small wine shop not far away, and the beige lights are shining outside, which sets off the night, but it looks a little tasteful.
Seeing the tavern, Lin You also pushed his bicycle, turned around, and walked towards the tavern.
At this time, he was not sleepy.
Ever since his cultivation had gradually improved, his sleep quality had been very good, and it was enough to rest for three or four hours at night.
In addition, he will relax his brain extra when he cultivates, which makes him much less dependent on sleep.
"Ding!"
Lin You propped up the bracket of the bicycle with his feet, and the bell of the bicycle made a crisp sound.
Then Lin You also walked towards the door of the small wine shop.
I don't know what the door is made of, but it is made of wood and glass.
The yellow wooden door frame has the characteristic heaviness of wood, while the clean glass makes the inside and outside of the door appear to blend together.
Directly pushed open the door, and Lin You walked in.
As soon as he let go, the door slid automatically behind him, and then closed, shutting out the last remaining sound of cars and horses in the street.
Inside and outside the store, the two are dissolved, but they are distinct, and there is a wonderful meaning.
"Good evening, little brother!"
As soon as he entered the door, someone greeted Lin You.
Lin You looked at it, it was a middle-aged woman, she looked a little thin, but her face was peaceful, obviously an ordinary and amiable tavern owner.
On the side, there was also a middle-aged man who was teasing and eating, looking a little focused. I guess it's her husband.
It's a husband-and-wife tavern, the kind of restaurant where you can have a drink and a late-night snack.
In the past, most of these shops were supper stalls. There are no tables and chairs in the small storefront, but there are ingredients and other things, and customers are all sitting outside.
However, with the construction of Jiang City, under the management of the chengguan, the supper stalls have gradually disappeared.
In their place was this little wine shop.
For customers, the impact is somewhat, but it's not huge.
There were five or six people in the shop, sitting scattered.
The decoration is very simple, it does not look high-end, but it has a sense of ease. Wooden tables and chairs, simple potted plants, and a clean and bright indoor environment create a touch of Zen.
"Hmm. What do you have to eat?"
The shop made Lin You a little satisfied, and he asked the proprietress about it.
"You sit down first, I'll bring you a list!"
found a random place near the corner, and Lin You sat down.
Looking at the list brought by the proprietress, Lin You stretched out his right hand and ordered a steamed dumpling and a small bottle of plum wine on it.
In the night, eating a little bit of fruit wine with a low degree and sitting in the tavern has always been Lin You's favorite.
When I saw this small shop today, I walked in with interest.
It stands to reason that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. But this is not Europe and the United States, it is China. And Lin You is now in his third year of high school, and when he is not wearing a school uniform, others can't see it.
Or, the proprietress knew that he was a student of Lingao, but she still called Lin You a little brother.
Lin You sat on the small wooden table where the two of them were sitting, quietly waiting for his things.
Perhaps because of the loneliness at night, the people in the small shop who didn't know each other also started talking.
"Have you heard? Recently, a patient escaped from Yang City......
"Hey, you heard me wrong, how did I hear that there was an escaped prisoner from the city jail. ”
"Neither! Yes......"
Several people opened the conversation box and talked to each other about some strange rumors they had heard.
A man who was far away simply moved the duck head, pig tail and other snacks in front of him to the table of the person in the middle.
After a while, the three people who were talking had a table.
Lin You quietly watched the conversation of these people, which made him not want to participate, but this did not prevent him from enjoying this scene.
Cultivation is to endure loneliness, but after all, people are social creatures, and it is a little difficult to escape this loneliness after all. This may also be the reason why his cultivation is too low.
At the same time, he didn't have some exchanges with friends, and at school, he was a quiet person, and everyone was reviewing against time.
Gradually, these days, some inexplicable emotions have accumulated in his heart.
"Woo...... Sister, I really don't want to do it anymore......"
"It's ...... Woohoo......"
At this time, at a table far away from the three people, a woman suddenly couldn't hold back her emotions and cried in a low voice.
The two women sat opposite each other, dressed very fashionably, but at this time they could not hide the sadness and loneliness.
Under the erosion of tears, the delicate makeup has become cloudy, making the woman look pitiful. The luxurious handbag was thrown on a stool in the shop, and no one cared about it.
Lin You watched this scene silently.
The rest of the store heard the scene, but they didn't interfere too much.
The three men chatting with each other saw each other, glanced at each other, and continued to chat, but their voices were low.
Everyone has a difficult scripture in their hearts, and who can say that their own is better than hers?
The woman sitting next to the weeping woman also comforted her with a sad face.
"Little brother, use it slowly!"
At this time, Lin You's supper also came up. He thanked him, picked up the finger-and-a-half-long, drop-shaped bottle, and poured himself a drink.
The store also specially sent a small stack of boiled peanuts, put them on a porcelain plate, and formed a small pile.
"Smack!"
After boiling peanuts, the shell is gently opened, and the sound is not loud. Lin You poured two grains of rice from the peanuts into his mouth, and then drank some plum wine.
It's hard to describe!
"It is said that some people have been missing in the city recently......"
The three men on the side were still talking.
My nephew is from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he said it was best to be careful lately...... It seems to be ...... Someone is reselling organs......"
"Really?"
"Then there can be a fake!"
Another said, "Yes." I've heard that someone in Yang City has been digging out their hearts and lungs recently...... That's miserable......"
Hearing this, Lin You couldn't help but be interested.
These three people obviously didn't know each other before, so what they are talking about now may not be groundless.
"The city estimates that something is wrong...... However, it shouldn't be a big ......."
Lin You thought silently in his heart, it was just a rumor from three or two people in private, although it was worth noting, but there was no need to take it too seriously.
And the place they said was still some distance from Lingao.
The Yang City mentioned in the words of the three of them is not a neighbor city of Jiang City, but a town belonging to Jiang City, but the place is a bit big, and because there is the only mental hospital in Jiang City, it is somewhat famous in Jiang City.
After taking a few sips of plum wine, the bottle was already about to bottom out, Lin You glanced at the white porcelain bottle and smiled helplessly.
It's not that the merchant is stingy, this fruit wine is meant to make people taste it, and it is better not to get drunk and slightly drunk.
Pouring the last bit of liquor in the bottle into a small glass, Lin You put down the bottle and glanced at the shopkeeper and his wife at the counter on the side.
The two husbands and wives were talking, and some bills were placed on the counter. It is estimated that the turnover is calculated and a list of items that will need to be collected tomorrow.
The middle-aged woman's face was often dark, obviously worried about something. The man had an unlit cigarette in his mouth and didn't make much noise.
Whether it is the three chattering trio, or the two women who are confused, or the shopkeeper couple who are trying to make a living, in this night, they are all planning or looking forward to tomorrow.
There may be sorrow, but there is also joy, and as for the real situation, only the person concerned knows.
Lin You looked at the scene in front of him, without saying a word, peeled off the last peanut, took it out with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then walked out of the store.
"Little brother, go slowly!"
The woman who was talking to her husband saw Lin You get up and whispered to Lin You at the counter.
Lin You nodded slightly, and walked out.
The night was misty, the breeze drifted through the empty streets, and the silvery moonlight stained the snow where the lights in front of the store could not take care of it.
It's a rare place, but few people can stop and savor it.
Moreover, even if someone stops his pace, without that state of mind, it is difficult for him to taste.
Lin You stopped slightly in front of the shop, carrying his hands behind his back, and gently breathed in the breath of the end of summer.
"I also have a lot of troubles...... But I have a 'wisdom sword', and when I encounter a hurdle that I can't get over, I can cut it with a sword, so I don't need to work too hard. ”
"As for whether it can be cut off...... Let's see what you do!"
Lin You smiled slightly, and walked away.
