wilderness

Early the next morning, Gu Beiqiao woke up on time, and the door of Peng Yan's bedroom was still closed.

When he opened the curtains of the living room, his eyes were pierced by the sunlight. When he glanced at the opposite building, something flashed through the window. When he looked again, he found that it was just floating on the balcony. A few pieces of clothing, nothing out of the ordinary.

Gu Beiqiao didn't think much about it, and simply cleaned up the room, brushed the quilt and pillows neatly, and put the shoes at the door back on the shoe rack.Then when he was doing nothing, he found the drawings torn from the magazine from his backpack, sat on the sofa and looked at Huahai and became dazed.

After a long time, there was finally movement in Peng Yan's room, first there was a long yawn, and then the door creaked open.

"Xiaoqiao, I woke up quite early." Peng Yan narrowed his eyes and drifted out as if sleepwalking. Seeing Gu Beiqiao sitting on the sofa looking at something, he asked again, "Are you reading?"

Gu Beiqiao replied without raising his head, "No."

Peng Yan leaned over curiously, saw him staring at the picture, and asked, "This place is beautiful, why, are you going here?"

Gu Beiqiao looked at him, "Brother Peng, do you know where this is?"

Peng Yan shook his head, "I haven't been there, but there are a few senior travel friends in my circle of friends who post travel photos every day, maybe they know, I'll ask you later."

Gu Beiqiao nodded, then turned back and continued to look at the page.

Peng Yan got up and went to the bathroom. While brushing his teeth, he suddenly heard Gu Beiqiao ask: "Brother Peng, is there anyone you know in the building opposite?"

Peng Yan spat out the toothpaste foam and said, "No, I just moved to this community not long ago, and I don't know anyone, what's wrong?"

Gu Beiqiao leaned on the door frame of the bathroom, also with a puzzled expression, "I feel like someone is peeking over here."

Peng Yan rinsed his mouth and said with a smile: "We don't live here with any beauties, so what are we doing?"

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, seeing that he didn't care, he went back to his room.

In the afternoon, the two still separated at the crossroads. Peng Yan answered the phone, hung up after talking and joking, and then asked Gu Beiqiao: "Tonight, I have an appointment with my friend to go to the food stall. Do you want to come together? That's what we did last time." The one I went to."

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, "You go, I'll eat noodles at the gate of the community."

"Well, you don't know them, it's weird to go there, so be careful when you go back at night."

Gu Beiqiao nodded, seeing him turned into an Internet cafe next to him before entering the shop.

Sister Xin greeted him happily, "Xiaoqiao, come here, I have researched a new product today, come and try it!"

Gu Beiqiao changed into his overalls and went into the operation room. He saw her handing him a glass of drink with a pink bottom, a blue middle, and a white top.

"The bottom is strawberry sorbet, the middle is blueberry sorbet, and the top is cream. Although everyone knows the taste, the color is attractive and the taste is thicker. It is very suitable for autumn. I think girls will like it very much." Xin Xin The elder sister looked at him with a smile.

In fact, Gu Beiqiao really wanted to say that he was not a girl, how would he know if a girl liked it or not?But looking at her eager eyes, he still took it and tasted it.

"How is it? Do you feel like autumn?"

"Mmm... so sweet." Gu Beiqiao smacked his lips.

"Sweet is right! Sweets make people happy." Satisfied, Sister Xin picked up a colored pen and wrote on the small blackboard the words "Try new products at half price", and then asked Gu Beiqiao to place it at the door.

"Put it sideways, alas, hang this wreath on it too, it will definitely look better."

Gu Beiqiao took the pink garland, carried the small blackboard to the door, and saw a person rushing in just after placing it.

"Welcome..." Gu Beiqiao whispered subconsciously, before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the girl who came to change shifts at night.

"You... hello." The girl's eyes were red, she greeted Gu Beiqiao and went to the bar to find Sister Xin.

"Xiaowen, why are you here at this time?" Sister Xin waited for her to come closer, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"

Xiaowen lowered her head and stammered, "Sister Xin...I...I want to resign."

"Why did you suddenly resign?"

"Something happened at home..." Xiaowen said and started to cry again, "I'm sorry, I have to leave so suddenly... My grandma is sick, and she is hospitalized for oxygen every day. The doctor said it may only be a few months, I have to Go back and see her."

Sister Xin sighed, "There's nothing I can do about it... OK, I'll tell the boss later that the salary will be transferred to you later, so don't worry."

Xiaowen sobbed, "Thank you, Miss Xin."

"It's okay, I hope grandma is doing well, and it's best to get through it, if you have any good news, don't forget to let me know."

"Yeah, sure." Xiaowen wiped away her tears, left behind a bunch of keys and left.

Sister Xin looked at her back and sighed, "The shop is hiring again..."

Gu Beiqiao thought for a while and said, "I'm fine tonight, let me come and see the store."

Sister Xin was happy again, "Okay, then you look at it first, but you still have to recruit people, and it's not good to work for so long at once. I still have to post some recruitment information on the Internet, and I will find someone later." You get off work on time."

Gu Beiqiao nodded, "It's okay, I'm already familiar with it a lot."

"Okay, then you can take this key. You can close the door and get off work at about ten o'clock. In case of emergency, you can close the door earlier. Anyway, the boss should have no objection."

Gu Beiqiao was a little speechless looking at the string of keys with the pink naughty leopard pendant, and finally took off the pendant before putting it in his pocket.

Sister Xin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I bought that, isn't it pretty?"

"It's for girls, I'm not suitable." Gu Beiqiao pursed his lips.

"Okay, then I'll use it myself!" Sister Xin hung the pink naughty leopard on her key, suddenly remembered something and looked up: "By the way, Xiaoqiao, you should tell the boss about Xiaowen, I told him on the phone that if he was busy again, it would not be appropriate."

"Ah?" Gu Beiqiao was stunned, "I don't know the boss."

Now it was Sister Xin's turn to be puzzled, "No, the boss called me and told me to greet you when you came that day, and then I saw him pick you up at the door... Don't you know each other?"

Gu Beiqiao was surprised: "Your boss is... Brother Peng? Peng Yan?"

"Yeah, don't you know?" Sister Xin laughed suddenly seeing him so surprised, "Maybe the boss didn't tell you because he was afraid that you might misunderstand, this milk tea shop, and a few Internet cafes over there, A restaurant in the city center is his store."

"He...he is so powerful..."

"Don't say you don't believe it. I didn't believe it at first. I thought it was a problematic youth when I saw the boss. He didn't come a few times a year. When he came, he ordered drinks and didn't pay. Yes, the business of the stores he opened is very good, maybe it really is the boss's vision."

Gu Beiqiao nodded, "It's pretty good."

Because Xiaowen left, Gu Beiqiao and Sister Xin still stayed in the store at six o'clock. They ordered takeaway to fill their stomachs. Sister Xin complained that her back hurt after standing all day.

Gu Beiqiao asked her to leave first but she refused, "It's okay, I'll spend a day with you today, but tomorrow I won't be able to take it anymore."

Until eight o'clock, when no one was around, the two would lie on the sofa in the store and take a nap.

Sister Xin suddenly received a call, "Huh? Where is the boss?"

"Okay, okay, I told him to go now, okay, hang up."

"Xiaoqiao," Sister Xin called Gu Beiqiao, "the boss and his friend had too much to drink, and they said they are in a night market, Guangming food stall, you go and pick him up."

Gu Beiqiao hurriedly got up, "What about the store?"

"It's okay, let's go, let's go, today is a special occasion, it's okay." Sister Xin packed her things, turned off all the light switches, and pulled the electric switch before closing the door.

Gu Beiqiao was walking in the alley, when a gust of wind blew, he suddenly felt a little cold, some leaves were blown to his feet, and he was trampled into the black mud pit, he felt a little pity.

After tightening the zipper of his coat, Gu Beiqiao walked towards the night market.

When I arrived at the barbecue stand that I went to with Peng Yan last time, I saw him laughing and chatting with a few people at the same table, his hair scratched like a bird's nest, not at all like the usual one who had to look in the mirror three times before going out The stinky Peng Yan.

Gu Beiqiao walked up to them and patted his shoulder lightly, "Brother Peng, go back."

Peng Yan shook his head, saw who was coming, and said with a smile, "It's Xiaoqiao."

Several of his friends also drank a lot, one of them took a look at Gu Beiqiao, and said with a big tongue: "Hey! There is a handsome guy! Let's play together!" After saying that, he twisted his waist and was about to post it.

"Go away!" Peng Yan pushed him, pointed his index finger at the man and said, "This is my younger brother, whoever touches him, I, who am I in a hurry with!"

"Come on," several people sneered together: "Who posted the circle of friends a few days ago? Who posted a photo saying what... is this my boyfriend?"

"Oh! That, isn't that just to get rid of Zhou Xiaofeng! It's alright! Don't talk to you guys, I have to go home." Peng Yan leaned on Gu Beiqiao, his feet were soft and fluttering, "Xiaoqiao, Let's go."

The people on the table were still smiling, "Master Zhou Yu! It's good to leave!"

Gu Beiqiao supported Peng Yan like pushing a sack, "Brother Peng, how much have you drank..."

However, Peng Yan refused to cooperate, his two feet were deliberately tripping, and he was about to fall when he staggered. "Also... Not many, just Wuliangbai Bar... No, I'm a little dizzy, let me stand for a while."

Gu Beiqiao quickly supported him and stood against the wall.

After a while, Peng Yan really got better, "Don't... don't help, you can walk..." He walked up and down.

Gu Beiqiao followed behind him, watching him like a baby learning to walk, humming a song as he walked.

When approaching the smelly garbage dump, Gu Beiqiao subconsciously covered his nose, and saw that Peng Yan didn't seem to care about the smell, but walked towards the garbage dump instead.

Gu Beiqiao followed his line of sight to the garbage pile, and saw a large pile of garbage piled up in the corner against the wall under the dim street lights, with flies, mosquitoes and moths flying through it.In the backlit and shadowed place, when I looked carefully, I found that there was still a person squatting there, with his back facing the two of them, carefully searching through the garbage. stuff it in your mouth.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Peng Yan boldly shouted at the man: "Aren't you awesome? You didn't get enough beatings yesterday and you still come today?"

The man turned a deaf ear, biting something like a bone in his mouth and rattling. The black clothes wrapped his thin body, and his head was covered by a hood, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

"Talking to you? You didn't hear me!" Peng Yan walked up behind him, with his hips on his hips, like a cranky alcoholic, "We kindly told you that garbage can't be eaten, but you still do it! Even if you want to eat garbage, don't flip through it. It's everywhere, how do you make house cleaners work? Do you have a sense of public morality? Talk to you!"

The man just ignored him and concentrated on eating his own food.

Seeing that he didn't intend to do anything, Peng Yan got a little more courageous, walked behind him and kicked him on the back, "Aren't you very capable? Can't you hit three with one? Why didn't you do it? I gave it to you yesterday. Scared?"

Because he drank too much wine, his steps were limp and weak, so the strength of this kick was not very strong.But the man was kicked forward and fell on the rubbish heap without moving for a while.

Gu Beiqiao looked at this scene, worried that Peng Yan would kick him badly, so he pinched his nose and went forward to pull him.

"This idiot, I've been beaten blue in the face, I can't let him go today!" Peng Yan's eyes were burning with anger, and he kicked and kicked the man's back, "Why are you pretending to die? Get up!"

The man moved, first raised the hand holding a bone, then slowly sat up on his knees, arched his back, and continued to gnaw on the bone.

quack quack.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Beiqiao knew that he should be a beggar, so he insisted on dragging Peng Yan to leave, "Brother Peng, let's go, go back!"

Peng Yan struggled in his hand, "Xiaoqiao, I must take revenge today! Don't stop me."

Just when Gu Beiqiao's words were just spoken, no one noticed that the curved back suddenly became stiff.

"It stinks here, let's go back." Gu Beiqiao didn't let go of his hand, for fear that Peng Yan would kick him up again.

The people in the garbage dump finally got up at this moment and turned their heads slowly.

Seeing him standing up, Peng Yan felt a little apprehensive, but said forcefully, "You...what are you doing!"

He just turned his head, under the dim streetlight, the face under the hood was thin and dirty, with a few purple scars, but those eyes were extremely bright, he stared at the absent-minded Gu Beiqiao, his lips moved slightly, Let out a soft voice: "Qiao...Brother Qiao!"

The idiot is finally out!

It's time to fall in love!
