wilderness

Gu Beiqiao hurriedly apologized, looked up, and found that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, and he was dressed very young, even wearing a pair of flamboyant earrings on his ears.There was another person standing beside him, they were about the same age, so they should be friends.

His friend asked him, "Is it all right?"

The man stomped his feet, looked down at his soiled shoes, and said angrily, "It's okay." Then he looked at Gu Beiqiao, "I'll tell you how to get there..." After seeing his appearance, he suddenly asked I was stunned, "Oh? You're not that... Gu Beiqiao from last time?"

The friend's eyes turned around between the two of them in doubt, "Do you know each other?"

Gu Beiqiao was also a little puzzled, "You are..."

The man was a little excited, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm Peng Yan, last time you left in such a hurry, you got off the bus before I had time to introduce myself, oh yes, it was the last time I was on the bus The two seats are next to each other, I asked you to put the bag on top of your head, but you didn't like it, so you wanted to hold it in your arms, do you remember?"

Gu Beiqiao tilted his head and thought for a while, and vaguely remembered a little bit, but the person in front of him was too different from the acne brother on the bus, the iconic red acne all over his face disappeared, and his face It could even be said to be smooth, Gu Beiqiao asked in surprise: "You...your face..."

Peng Yan smiled triumphantly, and wiped his face rather narcissistically, "How is it? Brother's skin is actually okay, right?"

Gu Beiqiao nodded, "Why are you here?"

Peng Yan glanced at the people around him, and introduced: "This is my buddy, Lao Zhang. He came to play with me a few days ago, and today he came to the station to send him back."

Gu Beiqiao nodded to his friend.

Lao Zhang also smiled back, touched Peng Yan's arm and whispered in his ear: "You can meet such a handsome guy every time you take a car. You are so lucky."

Peng Yan gave him a blank look, then turned around and smiled and asked Gu Beiqiao, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Beiqiao looked at the surrounding shops that had just opened, and replied absent-mindedly, "Come and play."

Peng Yan's eyes lit up, "Why don't I take you to play, I've been here for more than 20 years, I know what's fun, I promise you will have a good time, right, Lao Zhang!" After speaking, he flirted with his friend. Eye.

Lao Zhang shook the goosebumps on his body, and said sarcastically, "Come on, I've been here for less than a week, and I've only played games with you for five days, and I haven't seen any of the famous attractions in City C. I didn’t eat special food, I just ate takeaway!”

Peng Yan glanced at him, "Didn't I take you to that famous AAAAA scenic spot?"

It’s okay if I don’t mention it, but when I mention Lao Zhang, I get angry, “Isn’t it just a memorial hall! I have studied history for so many years, and I feel dizzy when I mention history. You still take me there! Isn’t it just used by some famous people? Notebooks, worn-in cotton clothes, tables that have been laid on, and even toilet paper, do you think I came all the way to see other people’s toilets and toilet paper?"

Peng Yan coughed guiltyly, "Okay, okay, next time I come, I promise to take you around all the places of interest, okay?"

Lao Zhang shook his head, "Believe you, I'm a pig!" Looking at the time on the phone, "Oh, the train I bought is about to check in. You can stay here with the handsome guy, I have to go first."

Peng Yan quickly stopped him, "Don't, we have been friends for more than ten years, I must put you in the car to be at ease, wait for me a little longer!" Turning around, he asked Gu Beiqiao: "Xiao Gu, brother has something to do right now. , add a WeChat first, and I will find you to play with later."

Gu Beiqiao watched him take out his mobile phone with embarrassment, shook his head and said, "I don't have WeChat."

"Ah?" Peng Yan was taken aback, "Then leave your cell phone number, or call."

Gu Beiqiao shook his head again, "I don't have a mobile phone either."

Peng Yan scratched his head anxiously, and Lao Zhang was urging him again, "Old Peng, it's too late soon, let me go by myself, it's all at the station, just take me to the train, I don't blame you .”

Peng Yan insisted on grabbing him, and said to Gu Beiqiao: "Stand here and wait for me, just for a while, I will definitely be back within 10 minutes!"

Seeing that Gu Beiqiao nodded, he took Lao Zhang's arm and ran towards the waiting hall together.

Gu Beiqiao looked at the backs of the two of them a little inexplicably. He didn't come here for fun, so he didn't need Brother Pixou to greet him, but since he asked himself to wait, let's wait a while.

He stood bored for a while, watching another shop on the side of the road open for business. The proprietress yawned and opened the shutter door, revealing two glass doors with recent promotional information and pictures of signature dishes posted on the doors.

Gu Beiqiao walked over, tightly clenched the strap of his backpack, and asked politely, "Auntie, do you need a waiter here?"

The proprietress still looked sleepy, she glanced at him, and said slowly: "Our business is not busy here, but there is an Internet cafe next to it that seems to be recruiting people, go there and have a look." She pointed to the opposite side .

Gu Beiqiao thanked the proprietress, and took another look at the waiting room. Peng Yan hadn't come out yet, thinking that it would take a while for people to come out, so he walked to the Internet cafe across the road.

The signboard of the Internet cafe is quite high-end, with both LED screens and colorful lights. When you walk in, you will find that the environment inside is not bad. Each computer table is separated, and there are green plants on the table for decoration.There were quite a few people playing on the computer early in the morning, probably since last night to play all night.

The bad thing is that the air is too turbid, some people are smoking, some people smell of sweat without taking a shower, some people have naturally stinky feet, and they took off their shoes and swayed their legs, the air conditioner is turned on in the Internet cafe, and the doors and windows Closed tightly, this smell is especially bad when mixed together.

Gu Beiqiao frowned and walked to the counter. A bird's nest head network manager with two dark circles under his eyes asked calmly, "Are you going online? Bring your ID card."

Gu Beiqiao said: "If you don't go online, do you still recruit people here?"

The network administrator took a look at him, "I'm recruiting a network administrator, but seeing you like this, can you stay up late?"

Gu Beiqiao nodded: "Yes."

The network administrator scratched his head, "Let me tell you, the working hours are from 2500:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] a.m. every day. There are no days off, and you can't ask for leave. If you really need something to do, you can find someone to do it yourself. You also need to be familiar with computers. Do you think it’s okay to pay [-] per month without food and lodging?”

Gu Beiqiao thought for a while, if he worked as a network administrator here, he wouldn't have to find a place to sleep at night. Although the air was a bit poor, it was tolerable, so he said, "Okay."

The network manager heaved a sigh of relief, "Alright then, go to a photocopying shop nearby and copy your ID card, bring it up later, and tell the boss when he arrives, and you should be able to come to work tonight."

Gu Beiqiao was startled, "Do I have to use an ID card?"

The network manager glared at him angrily: "Nonsense, why don't you need an ID card to find a job now!" He looked at him suspiciously and guessed: "You don't dare to show your ID card before you are 16 years old, right? We don’t employ child labor here!”

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, "It's sixteen."

Wang Guan: "I don't think you look so small... Then why don't you dare to take your ID card? Are you afraid of leaking information? Don't worry, we are a regular Internet cafe."

Gu Beiqiao wondered: "I... lost my ID card."

The network administrator shook his head helplessly, "You can't do without an ID card, there are regulations."

Gu Beiqiao sighed and had to turn around and leave. As soon as he went out, he saw a person standing on the main road looking around. It was Peng Yan.

Gu Beiqiao remembered that he told him to stand there and wait, because he had just said a few more words to the network administrator, and he was delayed for a while.

Peng Yan felt relieved when he saw him, "I thought you left without saying a word."

Gu Beiqiao bowed his head and remained silent.

"Let's go, you haven't eaten in the morning, right? Find a place to sit down." Peng Yan took him to a nearby chain store that looked good, ordered some food, and turned to Gu Beiqiao, "One Is a bowl of porridge and two fried dough sticks enough?"

Gu Beiqiao said: "Enough."

When paying, Gu Beiqiao took out his wallet and was grabbed by Peng Yan, "I'm older than you, you have to call me Brother Sheng, brother, what's the point of treating you to breakfast?"

Gu Beiqiao just gave up.

The two walked to a table by the window with their plates in their hands and sat down facing each other.

Peng Yan asked him: "How many days do you need to play here? You have been in S city for a month, right? This place is much bigger than S city, do you want to stay longer?"

Gu Beiqiao took a sip of porridge and whispered, "Not necessarily..."

"how?"

Gu Beiqiao wiped the corners of his mouth, and decided to answer: "I want to find a job here, save enough money before leaving."

Peng Yan looked at him, "Looking for a job? What kind of job are you looking for at your age?"

"I want to charter a car to go to City Y... I don't have enough money, so I want to find a job first."

Peng Yan asked curiously: "Going to such a far place? Boy, you are amazing! But when I was your age, I often wanted to make money and go out to play, but I had the heart but not the courage. Now that I am free, I can I'm not in the mood to toss around anymore, seeing you like this reminds me of my youthful years... Oh yes, how did you convince your parents to let you out?"

Gu Beiqiao chewed on the hard fried dough sticks and didn't tear them off for a long time.

Peng Yan laughed dryly, "The restaurants near the station are all like this, the bad ones are expensive..."

Gu Beiqiao simply put down the fried dough sticks, "I...my mother agrees."

Peng Yan envied: "Auntie is so enlightened!"

Seeing his unsuspecting look, Gu Beiqiao felt guilty and quickly changed the subject, "Brother Peng, what's the matter with your face?"

The sound of 'Brother Peng' made Peng Yan elated, "Didn't I tell you at that time, this is acne, and of course it will disappear after a while!"

Gu Beiqiao nodded with half-belief.

I heard Peng Yan say again: "To tell you the truth, I got it in a beauty salon. They are professional. They said that my body was too angry and the toxins were concentrated on my face, so they did a detox for me." During the course of treatment, when I went back to S city to fully detoxify, the acne on my face was particularly serious, and now the discharge is almost complete, and the acne is gone."

Gu Beiqiao let out an "oh", lowered his head and sipped the porridge.

Peng Yan looked at him, "Then if you want to find a job, you must not have a place to live. I have a vacant room, and Lao Zhang just left. Everything is ready-made, and the bed sheets can be washed. You can live in my place. "

Gu Beiqiao's heart moved for a moment, and he felt that it was too much trouble for him. After all, the two just met by chance. After thinking about it, he still refused, "No need, I will look for it myself later."

"Haven't I found it yet? Where do you live at night? It's not cost-effective to stay in a hotel, and as the saying goes, you rely on friends when you go out. I like to make friends besides sleeping and playing games. Influence, you really don’t have to worry about it.”

Gu Beiqiao still shook his head.

Peng Yan continued to seduce: "By the way, there seems to be a milk tea shop not far from my house to recruit people. I shouldn't be tired. Why don't I take you to see it first? If you can work in a milk tea shop, you can go to my place." Stay, it’s fine if it’s fully recruited, and you can figure out a way by yourself.”

Hearing that there was a job, Gu Beiqiao was shaken again, hesitantly said: "But I don't have an ID card..."

Peng Yan rolled his eyes, "It's okay, a small milk tea shop is not a big hotel, and you don't need an ID card."

Gu Beiqiao finally compromised, nodded obediently and said, "Then I'll go and have a look, thank you Brother Peng."

Peng Yan smiled, waved his hands and said, "It's okay."
