The farmer and the snake 2

Zhang Yuan is an ordinary office worker, doing ordinary clerical work, working from nine to five every day, and even having ordinary blind dates.He just turned [-] this year, as the saying goes, he stands at [-], but he still hasn't found a partner, and this mother is also anxious to have a grandson. Every weekend, he arranges a blind date for him.No, it's time for a blind date again.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was sitting in a restaurant in a suit, eating and chatting with the woman about some unnutritive topics, nothing more than family, work, and garage.Apart from being honest and good-looking, Zhang Yuan probably has the only advantage that he has a suite, um, although it is a one-bedroom, one-living room standard single room, and he also said that he only paid the down payment.Shh, don't tell the woman, or today will be his No. 12 failed blind date.

When the woman heard that he had a room, she smiled and proposed to go to the bar to continue playing after dinner.Zhang Yuan wanted to squeeze out a smile to respond to the woman, but he gave up after trying. He nodded with the same poker face.In fact, he is the least able to deal with this kind of social situation, but he still has to bite the bullet and go to the bar to continue this meaningless blind date.

"Zhang Yuan, I'm a little thirsty, go to the convenience store and buy me a drink~" The woman became affectionate when she heard that he had a room, and she was shaking his arm coquettishly.

"Okay", Zhang Yuan shook off the woman's hand, and walked quickly to the convenience store as if relieved.He took a bottle of mineral water and went to pay the money.

At the cash register, there was a dirty kid standing there, who looked like a little beggar.Seeing Zhang Yuan approaching, the little beggar raised his head, looked at Zhang Yuan eagerly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, buy me a piece of bread, I'm hungry~"

"Go away, don't stand around and interfere with our business", the waiter impatiently wanted to drive the child away, but the child still looked at Zhang Yuan eagerly, the eyes were beautiful amber, Zhang Yuan was so embarrassed to be stared at "Wait a minute, bring me another bread."

The little beggar happily took the bread, sat on the chair in front of the convenience store, tore open the bag and started gobbling it up, like he didn't know when was the last time he ate.

"Where are your parents?" Zhang Yuan also sat down. He looked at the child. He looked about twelve or thirteen years old. His long messy hair hadn't been cut for some time, and his white long-sleeved T-shirt was stained. , like the jeans, have long been tattered.

"No... I don't know..." The child answered with a mouth full of food, devoting himself to eating the bread.

Zhang Yuan looked at the child wolfing down his food, and couldn't help feeling a little pitiful in his heart. He didn't know how long the child could live alone, just like the stray cats he used to feed when he was a child, there was always no shortage of stray cats to surround him The chicken bones in his hand were floating around, but only he knew that those cats had changed batch after batch in just a few years.

"Zhang Yuan!" Seeing that he hadn't come back for a long time, the woman on the blind date looked over, "Why are you sitting here? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Sorry," Zhang Yuan turned his head, trying to regain his wandering thoughts and return to reality.He put on his poker face again, stood up and handed the water to the woman, "mineral water".

"Didn't I tell you to buy a drink?" The woman was a little disgusted with the cheap mineral water, and didn't reach out to take it. "Just buy me this when you're out on a date!"

Zhang Yuan's outstretched arms froze in the air.

"I drink, I drink!" The child finished eating the bread, and seeing no one asked for the bottle of water, he reached out and took it, "Well...uncle, please help me unscrew the cap." The child was weak, so he unscrewed the bottle cap a few times Without unscrewing it, he handed it to Zhang Yuan again.

"Where did the little beggar come from! How unlucky!" As he said that, he pulled Zhang Yuan who was about to take the bottle away.Zhang Yuan looked back, the child was still looking at him eagerly.

Zhang Yuan was dragged into a bar. He rarely came to these places. At night, he would rather stay at home and read a book and be in a daze. Only then would he truly feel relaxed and comfortable.

"A glass of sunshine~" The woman walked to the bar skillfully and ordered a glass of wine. She turned her head and asked Zhang Yuan, "What do you want to drink?"

"Hmm...a glass of lemonade..."

"What did you say?" In the noisy bar, the bartender couldn't hear Zhang Yuan's words clearly.

"Lemonade!" Zhang Yuan had no choice but to raise his voice and shouted at the bartender again.

"Hahahahahahaha", the woman smiled, "Why drink this, order a drink~"

"No, I..."

"Let's have another blues cocktail." Before Zhang Yuan could finish retorting, the woman had already ordered one for him.After a while, the bartender handed over two tall glasses, which were filled with a nice-colored liquid, which flickered with the laser lights in the bar.

Zhang Yuan silently sipped his wine, just watched the crowd around him who were talking or dancing to rock music with a blank expression, his eyes seemed to be in another time and space.

"Yo~ so cold!"

"No... I'm just...", just not very social.

"Stop pretending, it's crazy to come into the bar!" The woman stretched out her hand to Zhang Yuan, "Let's go down and dance!"

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then stared at the reveling crowd on the dance floor, "I won't."

"Is this not giving me face? If you don't like me, just say it, everyone, don't waste your time!" The woman didn't understand, are there still young people who can't drink and dance these days?Could it be that he spends weekends in his house raising flowers and reading books like an old man?

"Really not", Zhang Yuan tugged on his tie, raised his head and drank the wine in one breath, "Waiter, pay the bill!" Zhang Yuan felt that his head would explode from the noise of this rock music, and he couldn't wait to escape from this place. place.

"Hey! I'm joking with you, why are you like this?" The woman saw that the house might be leaving, she also drank the wine in one breath, put down the glass and stretched out her hand and pulled Zhang Yuan into the dance floor.

no no no! ! !God!help me! !I really can't dance! ! !The cry in my heart can only be heard by Zhang Yuan.He just stood on the dance floor with a paralyzed face, not knowing how to place his hands and feet, so he had to imitate the movements of the people next to him on the spot, twisting and turning, not to mention how awkward it was.

The entire dance floor was twisting and reveling, and the crowd seemed to be cocktails in colorful wine glasses, shaking up and down with the drumbeat of rock music, and no one knew who was controlling the crazy crowd.While dancing, someone next to him changed his partner, and that person turned his head, "Zhang Yuan! It turned out to be you!" It turned out to be you!Zhang Yuan also repeated the same words in his heart, that person was his colleague.

When seeing acquaintances, it is natural to chat with each other while drinking.

Four people gathered around a small round table, and the colleague ordered another dozen beers.

"Meet you here! I thought you wouldn't come to this kind of place!" He opened a bottle of beer and stuffed it into Zhang Yuan's hands while talking, "Drink! You didn't come to the last dinner, so you can't this time Let you go!"

Holding the wine bottle, Zhang Yuan thought it was the end of the game, and unexpectedly met an acquaintance!Will I have to pay a lot of money after drinking it?Thinking about spending his hard-earned money on this kind of social interaction, he felt his flesh ache and his heart was bleeding.He took a sip with a straight face, as if he was drinking his own blood.

"You're still so cold~" the colleague joked, "Don't tell me, there are girls in the company who like you who are so cold, but it's a pity that Zhang Yuan doesn't like any of us!" The woman next to him said, "Hey? Is this your girlfriend? I don't think it's no wonder that you never mess with women in the company!" He took a few sips of wine and continued, "Come on, keep drinking! Not today I can't forgive you for being drunk!" He stretched out his hand to raise the wine bottle in Zhang Yuan's mouth, causing Zhang Yuan to drink the whole bottle in one go.

"Ahem cough..." Oh my god, let me go home!Zhang Yuan was drunk, so he could only whine in his heart. He thought of those middle-aged people with fat stomachs and round stomachs at various dinners, and felt nauseated.

"Good drinker! Zhang Yuan, I don't usually notice it." The colleague opened another bottle of wine and handed it to him, "Drink!"

Zhang Yuan caught the wine bottle in extreme discomfort, unable to make any expression on his face. He looked at the dozen beers on the ground, and panicked in his heart, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.He listened to the loud drumbeat and just drank his wine in silence.

"Why are you still so cold when your girlfriend is here!" The colleague asked him again.

"No... no... not a girlfriend"

"Hey, don't be shy, I brought them out to the bar to play ~", the man leaned his head over and whispered to him, "I'm going to open a room later~"

"No!"

"It's okay, they're all men, I understand, don't worry, I'll get her drunk for you~" After he finished speaking, he sat back down again and began to toast the woman, one sister-in-law at a time.

Zhang Yuan wanted to escape from here even more, so he took a sip of the wine bottle and took a sip to calm down.

Before Zhang Yuan was really about to be deafened, the colleague finally got drunk and walked back with his girlfriend supporting each other.If Zhang Yuan was released, he was about to run away.

"Zhang Yuan~" The blind date woman suddenly grabbed him who was about to run away, Zhang Yuan lost his balance for a moment, and fell with the woman.

"Hahahahaha, let's go, let's go home", the drunk woman got up crookedly from the ground, she had been thinking about Zhang Yuan's house for a long time, "Take me to your house", the woman said while Blowing on Zhang Yuan's breath of alcohol, Zhang Yuan only felt smoky, and almost threw her on the spot with his hands.

"I'll call a taxi to take you home." Although Zhang Yuan drank a lot of alcohol, his mind was still clear.

"Don't~ don't be hypocritical~ don't you want~ don't you want to take me home", the woman said and turned over again, Zhang Yuan didn't know whether to catch it or turn around and run away.

"Hey, uncle, why haven't you come home~"

Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked, he recognized the amber eyes, "Didn't you...haven't gone home either?"

"Oh, I don't have a home. The corner where I slept just now was taken by other homeless people." As he spoke, the child lowered his head, and his voice began to cry, "I...I don't know where to go good."

"Where is the stinky beggar, go away, don't hurt my old lady!" The woman was drunk, and at this time she reached out to hit the little beggar.

"It's just a child, don't do anything!" Zhang Yuan stopped her.

"Anyway, it's just a child that no one wants." Seeing this, the woman withdrew her hands boredly, "Maybe I'll be beaten to death one day~" She said, her voice increased, and she looked at it with disgust. He stared at the ragged little beggar.

She turned around, raised her hand and put it on Zhang Yuan's shoulder again, and was about to pull him away, "Don't pay attention to him, I want to cheat again ~ let's go home"

"I..." Seeing the child being scolded like this, Zhang Yuan had a sad expression on his little face, and his pitiful look made him feel a little pity in his heart.

"I want it!" Jiu Zhuang was cowardly, and Zhang Yuan, who was a little drunk, suddenly dropped the woman and picked up the little beggar, "Taxi!", he got into a taxi and got a headache I left without returning.

The woman who was left behind sat on the ground blankly, "Zhang Yuan!" She looked at the rental far away, as if she was looking at her own far away house.

The little beggar was suddenly picked up and stuffed into a taxi. He sat in the car for a long time before recovering.

"Uncle~ you...do you really want to take me home?" He still couldn't believe that Zhang Yuan was going to take him home so easily.

"Well, I..." Zhang Yuan looked at the little beggar's innocent face full of expectations, thinking that he was a little impulsive just now, but he still rubbed the child's hair and replied , "Well, I'll be home in a while."

"The key...why can't my key be inserted... into it?" Zhang Yuan was a little dizzy from drinking, because his hand just couldn't insert the key into the keyhole accurately.

"I'll come, I'll come," the little beggar excitedly took the key, touched the key, and inserted it into the keyhole as if in a grand ceremony.

As soon as Zhang Yuan entered the room, he collapsed on the sofa.

"Uncle, you haven't washed your face and brushed your teeth yet." The little beggar pushed him, but Zhang Yuan didn't move, and collapsed on the sofa like a dead pig. He felt that he was too tired tonight, more tired than working overtime. This paralysis is the proper weekend time.

Seeing that he couldn't push him, the little beggar turned around in the room by himself. He happily strolled here and there, and curiously touched the succulents that Zhang Yuan raised on the balcony, and finally covered Zhang Yuan on the sofa. Putting on the blanket, he kissed Zhang Yuan secretly again, went to take a bath by himself, and then got into the comfortable bed in Zhang Yuan's bedroom to sleep.

The next morning, Zhang Yuan heard noises in the room, and two pieces of clothes were thrown at the door of the bedroom. He thought that a thief had entered, touched the fruit knife on the coffee table, and walked towards the bedroom with his head still hurting. , he saw a small figure inside.

"Huh? Uncle, are you awake?" When the child turned his head, the amber eyes were the little beggar last night.

"You... why are you at my house?" Zhang Yuan couldn't remember what happened for a moment.

"Uncle, you said you wanted to take me home last night~" said the little beggar and pulled out another dress from the closet, "I wanted to find a suitable dress, but after searching for a long time, it was too big." , the little beggar looked at the clothes in his hand and frowned, suddenly he remembered something, turned his head and said to Zhang Yuan, "I'll clean up the things on the ground right away, uncle, don't be angry~"

"..." Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, still with a poker face, "I... When did I say to bring you back..."

"Last night!" The child looked up at him with bright amber eyes, "Uncle, have you repented..." Those eyes dimmed again when they met Zhang Yuan's indifferent poker face.

"No...no", Zhang Yuan comforted the child while feeling a headache from the sudden decision last night.

"Uncle~ You are the best~" The little beggar ran over happily, hugged Zhang Yuan, and tiptoed to kiss him on the face. Zhang Yuan didn't know what to do for a while, his hand froze in mid-air, I don't know if I should hold this child.

The messy hair of the child in his arms rubbed against his face, and he couldn't help smiling. The little beggar heard him laugh, raised his head, and looked at him with a sweet smile.Zhang Yuan felt that the amber eyes were shining with the color of the sun, and he couldn't help rubbing the child's soft long hair with his hands that were frozen in the air.

"Gu~" Someone's stomach growled.

"What to eat, I'll go downstairs to buy some breakfast?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"But it's already noon..." The little beggar looked at him suspiciously.

"...", Zhang Yuan felt a little embarrassed, "Then I'll go buy some stir-fried vegetables, you can wait in the house." After speaking, he put on his coat and went out.

Zhang Yuan was sitting in the cooking restaurant waiting blankly while thinking about what to do with this child. He blamed himself for being drunk and talking nonsense last night.Alas, that woman doesn't seem suitable, what should I say if Mom calls and asks?Why?Could the kid have stolen his valuables and this would have gone off?He thought wildly again.

"Fish-flavored shredded pork is here!"

The waiter's shout called Zhang Yuan back in ecstasy. He took the packaged meal and rushed back worryingly. The child had already put away the small tea table. He took the meal as soon as he entered the door, and began to eat happily. "Well... Uncle, you are so kind~", he smiled at Zhang Yuan while eating.Zhang Yuan looked helplessly at the corner of his mouth full of rice grains, took out two tissues to wipe his mouth, "eat slowly, no one will grab you", he looked at the innocent smile that day, it seems that he is not a thief Well, but picking it up and raising it like this is not as simple as picking up a stray cat and bringing it back.

After eating, Zhang Yuan dug out his middle school clothes from the cardboard box, a washed and faded long-sleeved T-shirt of Jingdong cat and a pair of dark blue five-point jeans, which were bought for him by his deceased father in the past .

"Take it and change it", he thought for a while, then threw the clothes to the child who was still wearing dirty clothes, and went to take a bath by himself.

At night, he put down the back of the sofa, took out a summer quilt, and made a bed for the little beggar, "Come and sleep."

The little beggar happily got into the bed and rubbed his head on the pillow, "Well, it's so comfortable."

Zhang Yuan looked at his long hair, "When I come back from get off work tomorrow, I'll take you to have your hair cut."

"No, I won't cut it," the little beggar firmly rejected him, "I've kept it for a long time~ I can't bear it", he covered his head under the quilt as he said, for fear that it would be like cutting his hair now, "Uncle help me turn off the light~ I going to bed~”

Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly, helped him pull the quilt back up, and rubbed the child's head again. Looking at the child, he couldn't help but kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"Uncle~", the little beggar stuck his head out of the bed and looked at him.

"No...it's nothing." Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a little blushing. He got up, turned off the lights, adjusted the air conditioner, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.For some reason, he felt that the child had a familiar and friendly feeling.
