Like wind

It was a cold noon, and I was walking on the slippery street, and there was no one there; the rain fell from the sky, which was annoying.

With the thermos dangling in his left hand and an umbrella in his right hand, little Lu Lin walked freely on the street, thinking of something.The arcade store that appeared in sight is getting closer and closer, and you can reach it just by turning the direction.

The store today seems to be very deserted, maybe it's because of the weather that everyone doesn't want to come out.Instead of letting the cold air shave your face red, you might as well snuggle up under the quilt and enjoy hot tea.But it was a little different. There was a person squatting at the dark door.

The man squatting on the ground was wearing a pair of water-stained brown and black shoes, and the raindrops splashed from the floor melted into the uppers one after another; the washed white jeans tightly bound his thin and slender legs, and his upper body was covered in a piece of clothing. Under the yellowed white shirt, his eyes are about to mold like damp and cold raindrops.

The young Lu Lin didn't realize what was going to happen next, he just pretended not to see the strange man and walked over quickly.When he passed within three meters of the fan-shaped visual range of gloomy eyes, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Lin, then quickly jumped up, and then firmly grabbed Lu Lin's shoulder with his slender fingers with well-defined knuckles.

Lu Lin was taken aback by this strange man with black and blue beard around his chin. Looking at his erratic eyes, he might be a lunatic.But the outline of his face was very familiar, he had seen it somewhere before.

"Uncle, uncle, what do you want me to do..." The little boy looked at him in fear, and a timid and trembling voice came from his small body.

Seeing Lu Lin's reaction, transparent water droplets evaporated from the tall man's eyes, "Uncle took you to play games, do you want to come?" His voice was deep and hoarse, with a lingering magnetism. It sounds like classical piano music gliding across frosted glass.

The boy looked at him vigilantly, thinking of his mother once telling him not to trust strangers casually, especially eating and drinking and being taken to other places in his head.So Lu Lin refused decisively.

"No, Mom told me not to trust strangers. Especially if you don't look like a nice guy."

The man's pale face turned even greener. He didn't expect Lu Lin to say such a thing, so he finally opened his mouth.

"Uncle is not a bad person. Uncle will take you to eat delicious food, okay?" He tried his best to put on an amiable appearance, but the slightly naughty smile didn't seem to have any affinity at all.

Lu Lin looked at him suspiciously, but backed down in his heart. Sugar-coated bullets were the most effective for him. The three words "delicious" represent everything in the only cognition.

"Don't be afraid, come with me." The man took Lu Lin's hand and took the umbrella from his hand.Standing between the two, two people with the same cold hands walked side by side in the rain, the atmosphere was very strange.

Lu Lin didn't know how many turns and streets he and I had to go around, and finally they came to a KFC. The man pushed open the glass door for him with a smile on his face, and approached the restaurant filled with warm yellow lights.

A little bit of humid heating came blowing towards his face, and Lu Lin's face, which was almost frozen, slowly regained its vitality.He happily turned his head and looked around. This place where he used to stand at the door and watch the interior before, his curiosity had already piled up into a mountain.

"What do you want to eat?" The man touched Lu Lin who was staring at the menu intently, and asked lovingly.

"It's up to you." Lu Lin twitched and tried to capture the smell of food in the air with his nose, unwilling to let them escape.

The man reached out and took out his pocket, as if he had found something.Embarrassment quickly covered his entire face, and under the suspicious gaze of the girl behind the counter, he still opened his mouth.

"A box of egg tarts, and..." Without speaking, he slowly turned to Lu Lin, with an unknown light shining in his eyes.

"What would you like to drink?"

Lu Lin didn't understand this kind of look, it seemed to be pleading, but also hopeful.

"whatever."

The man smiled happily and told her to pack.

Walking outside, the man carefully opened the package and took out one for Lu Lin.His eyes were full of longing, and he held what the man handed over like a treasure.

On the silvery white tinfoil is a light brown meringue that turns into a milky white mist when it encounters dry and cold air; there is also dark brown caramel liquid in the middle.Lu Lin opened his lips that were white with cold, and gently bit the tender yellow egg paste with his teeth, feeling that all the limbs and bones in his body were flowing with a feeling called happiness.

They were like this, one eating and walking under the umbrella, the man took him to the dark game hall again, went straight to one of the row of game machines, and asked Lu Lin to start playing with him.

At this time, Lu Lin was focusing all his attention on eating, and he didn't realize where the man took him; in his opinion, whoever gave him delicious food was undoubtedly a good person, and it was okay to go with him.But he didn't notice that the thermos in his left hand had already cooled down.

"Have you ever played this?" The man put his thin hand on the greasy dark red gamepad and asked Lu Lin as he turned on the game.

Lu Lin found that he had unknowingly arrived at the game hall that he dared not come to, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"No."

"Then let me teach you."

"Ah."

He began to teach Lu Lin how to play, which key to choose for resurrection, which aircraft function is better to use, and how to clear the level that needs to be reached. He is very proficient.

Lan Yingying's light shone on the frozen red faces of the two men. The man stared intently at the plane and the incoming ammunition on the electronic screen. While swearing, he instructed Lu Lin how to cooperate with him. rises quickly.

Lu Lin looked at the man next to him who was playing games in full swing. His excited voice seemed to have the magic power to summon him, and he would listen to him and rely on him uncontrollably. His young heart was silently Rapidly rises and grows.

He often thinks, if he has a father, that person will play games with him, eat delicious food, and take him out to play, right?But when I asked my mother where my father was, my mother's face always became very stiff, as if she was going to the toilet, and she didn't answer after a while.Little Lu Lin was very puzzled by this.

Lu Lin felt that it would be good to live his life like this, at least he could play games with the man next to him, have common topics to talk about, and being with him was full of joy.

So, he and he have been nesting in front of the small game console, playing eagerly.I didn't notice it at all, the rain outside was no longer so heavy, the weak light at dusk quietly came out from behind the dark clouds, and a man came out of a small room in the distance.

He walked towards Lu Lin at a leisurely pace.

When the sky really started to be noticed by the man and it was no longer bright, he still reluctantly stuck to the plastic chair with Lu Lin and did not leave.It was the first time Lu Lin played for so long, and he felt a little headache, so he pulled the man's clothes.

"It's noon now, isn't it?"

"It's noon, it's already night." The man answered without turning his head, his frowning fully reflected his inner heart of choice.

Hearing the man's words, Lu Lin's face turned pale, and he realized that he had spent a few hours in a daze just now, and didn't even remember to deliver food.

"I, I'm leaving..."

"Let's go, don't bother me." The man who was distracted by Lu Lin waved his hand impatiently, then took out the empty box, found that there was nothing to eat, and slapped it off the table bitterly.

After getting the permission, Lu Lin ran out of the game hall in fear. At the intersection, he looked blankly at the dark alleys and streets, not knowing whether to go to his mother or go home directly.I don't know what time it is now, has she been off work yet?

Lu Lin walked aimlessly on the deserted street, kicking small stones with his feet, recalling the scent of egg tarts on his lips and the colorful games just now.

He finally went to his mother's place, saw the sky that had not completely darkened, and thought that it should not be time to get off work, so he went to find her at this time just in time to go home together.On the way, he also saw a strange man in black glaring at him. He felt that all the disguise in his heart had been broken. The man seemed to know that he was playing games for nothing in his store just now, and his face started to burn.

After that, he heard the sound of glass breaking in the distance, but he turned around and left without seeing anything.

Later, he didn't know what happened to him today.
