blazing fire

The footprints on the neck pillow have been washed clean, but after being stirred by the washing machine, the fluff on the surface is a bit collapsed, anyway, it is not the original appearance.

If it weren't for this thing being out of print, Cheng Zhuo would definitely have thrown it away right now.

However, remembering Yuan Yu's shining expectant eyes a few minutes ago, Cheng Zhuo's hand, which was about to throw the neck pillow out, turned inexplicably in mid-air, and threw it back on the bed.

"I didn't expect that little bumpkin to know about World of Warcraft." He muttered, walked over, and threw himself back on the bed.

Yuan Yu said that he knew about World of Warcraft from the posters on the wall of the Internet cafe a few years ago. Once, an older brother who went to work in the city came back to visit his relatives in the street, and he watched him play in the Internet cafe.Yuan Yu hadn't played computer games much in his life this year, let alone when he was still young, he could hardly take his eyes off from the sidelines.

Cheng Zhuo didn't realize Yuan Yu's special longing for World of Warcraft, he was thinking about another thing.

After careful calculation, Yuan Yu knew that there was a difference of three years between the time of World of Warcraft and the time when World of Warcraft was on fire in Jiangcheng.

It can be seen from the side that Yanghuai Town is a place with underdeveloped entertainment activities.

"It's boring," Cheng Zhuo buried his face in the pillow, felt the softness of the pillow, and said in a low voice, "It would be great if I could go back to Jiangcheng to play..."

But he couldn't go back to Jiangcheng under the premise of bypassing Cheng Guangzong, who made him not full.This is an unsolvable problem, and on the premise that he is not prepared to bow his head first, the only thing he can do is wait.

It's only been three days, and he is so annoyed that his whole body is irritable.

Second Uncle and Cheng Gui came again, he heard voices from downstairs.Not long after, someone came upstairs. The sound of footsteps was grandma, who probably came to ask him to eat.

Cheng Zhuo turned over and lay face down, pretending to fall asleep again.

After yesterday.

He didn't want to eat at the same table with those two people again, even if the price was to eat leftovers later.

But Cheng Zhuo didn't have the chance to eat leftovers, and his behavior of pretending to sleep because of anger made him really fall asleep.When he opened his eyes again - Cheng Zhuo glanced at the alarm clock on the table, it was already noon.

The World of Warcraft nostalgic server seems to be open.

This was the first thought he had when he opened his eyes. Before being sent to Yang Huai by Cheng Guangzong, he seemed to have heard Huang Menghui and the others talk about it, but he had completely lost interest in online games at that time, and the group asked him if he wanted to play. , Cheng Zhuo didn't answer.Now I somehow remembered it.

He yawned and went downstairs to wash up. When he passed by, he found grandma was cooking lunch in the kitchen.

Now that he is old, it is not easy to toss and eat three meals by himself every day, and now he has to take care of him more, Cheng Guangzong is really willing to part with his wife.

Cheng Zhuo sat at the table for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable, and went to the kitchen again.

But even if he walked over, at his level, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't help.

He watched grandma go to the back to cook the stove for a while, and cook in the front for a while, and he was very busy.Only then did Cheng Zhuo take a closer look at the earthen stove.Unlike the gas stoves used in the city, the fire opening of the earthen stove is at the back, and the air inlet is next to it.Next to the fire was a small wooden stool that was about a little higher than his ankles, and there were a lot of hay and firewood around it.

He thought for a while, walked to the small bench and sat down.

The flames in the hearth were raging, wrapping the firewood in the middle, and the inner end was already blackened.

"Hey!" Grandma yelled, put down the spatula and came to pull him.Cheng Zhuo slept too much, he felt lazy and sat still: "I'll just take a look, I won't move."

He didn't understand what grandma said, but it seemed to confirm with him.Cheng Zhuo promised again, and pulled out his hand.

Not to mention, watching the flames burn unexpectedly can pass the time.

Just a little smoky.

Cheng Zhuo listened to it several times, and finally understood that the sentence grandma repeated repeatedly was "white clothes will be blackened", so he had to stand up from the small bench.

After such a toss, the meal is almost done.It may be because Cheng Zhuo is at home today, and there are three dishes for lunch, which is considered a big meal for two people.

Cheng Zhuo didn't go out until after eating, wandered around, feeling that he had nowhere to go, and got on the bus to the town again without knowing it.

His knowledge of the town was limited to a few places, and he chose to walk on unfamiliar roads deliberately. He never thought of detours, so he detoured back to the downstairs of the Internet cafe.

Cheng Zhuo looked up at the slanting sun, thought for a while, and went upstairs anyway.

"Be a member." This time Cheng Zhuo directly took out two red ones, that is, the one with the most recharge gifts.

"Hey, it's you?" The young girl behind the bar took his ID card and shook her head regretfully, "If I did it last time, I would have saved 40 yuan."

The 8 yuan box membership price is 6.5 yuan an hour, and there is also a membership card that you can get as much as you want, but how to calculate this savings of 40 yuan, Cheng Zhuo didn't want to understand.

But he didn't intend to think about it, so he frowned and said, "Isn't it the same now?"

"I just feel sorry for the money for you." The young girl was proficient in business. She tapped her fingers on the keyboard of the work computer, and soon threw a red plastic card over. wrote."

"Thank you." Cheng Zhuo didn't look carefully, put the card and ID card together in his pocket and took them away.

The lobby of the Internet cafe still lingers with the unchanging smell of smoke, as if everything is the same as the day he was robbed.Unexpectedly, when Cheng Zhuo pushed open the door of the non-smoking box, he found that there was actually a person inside, who was sitting in the back seat where he sat that day.

The man raised his eyes and glanced this way, his eyes half hidden between his bangs were extremely cold and impolite.It doesn't feel like burning without process, and many strangers are like this.He sat down in front of another idle machine, and found that the friend next door was fighting in Summoner's Canyon.

As a heavy game user in the early years, Cheng Zhuo consciously despises each other with the three major traffic game users of eating chicken, masturbation, and pesticides.He looked away without interest and turned on the computer.

This Internet cafe has not kept up with the times to download the nostalgic server, so he spent some time installing the game and adjusting the plug-ins.It has been more than an hour since I boarded the game.

When Cheng Zhuo put on the earphones, he seemed to hear a sneer from the person next to him, but when he looked over, the person had no expression on his face, and "what are you looking at" was written in his cold eyes.

The temperature hasn't been too high recently, Cheng Zhuo himself was wearing a thick sweater jacket, but this man wore a thin jacket, revealing his arrogance.He is young, but not as young as Cheng Zhuo upon closer inspection; he is thin; his dressing style is trendier and less mainstream than the average in the town; there is a bit of blue and black that is unique to the tattoo from the neck to the collar.

This is a social bastard, Cheng Zhuo made a judgment within a few seconds.

Although Cheng Zhuo is not motivated, he really does not follow that route, so he also knows that it is okay not to mess with the social bastard.

But no matter how you think about it, it's not completely "all right" now.

He didn't want to provoke people, but it seemed too aggrieved to just swallow his breath like this.

Cheng Zhuo stared at him for a while, and the man spoke in a very low voice: "What's the matter?"

Not to be trifled with, but not angry.

Cheng Zhuo thought for a while, then asked calmly, "Did you just laugh?"

The man raised his eyebrows high.

"The nostalgic server has just been opened for a month, and it can be played as a new game." Cheng Zhuo said, "It's very fun."

After he finished speaking, he turned back, entered the game and pinched the character, as if he turned around specially for Amway games.

The man was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he laughed twice.

From his ending, Cheng Zhuo was sure that he heard it right, he was the one who was laughing just now.

Phantom.

However, being able to solemnly reiterate his position as a Warcraft player is already considered a victory.He doesn't want to provoke the other party, as long as that person doesn't masturbate and masturbate to show superiority.

Cheng Zhuo didn't play for too long, he still remembered what Yuan Yu said about the town bus ending at 6pm.The social gangster left a little earlier than him, but the computer was turned off. I don't know if it means that he will come back after going out to buy food.

He didn't delve into it. He didn't know why the man was not afraid of being occupied, and he didn't know how to go back after 6 o'clock.

He still doesn't know much about it.

Cheng Zhuo caught the last bus back to the village, and it was already dark when he arrived at the stop. He walked back slowly along the way he came, and stopped near Yuan Yu's house.

He seemed to hear male voices swearing from the two-story building again.

...Growing up in such a family environment, it is also a psychological miracle that Yuan Yu did not grow crooked.

He shook his head and walked home.

The sky seems to have agreed with the villagers that it will not rain until the seeds are sown.Three days after Yuan Yulei came to Cheng Zhuo to report to Cheng Zhuo, the first spring rain fell and drenched the ground.

There was even a layer of water mist in the air, Cheng Zhuo watched Yuan Yu lead a group of children towards the direction of the bus station, left the window by himself, and fell back on the bed.

On rainy days, it is advisable to catch up on sleep.

Cheng Zhuo hid from the rain at his grandma’s house for two days and used it as a mushroom. On the third day, he finally felt that he was going to get moldy. Fortunately, the continuous rain has reduced a lot. He had eaten and took an umbrella that day. Went to the town, sat down in the old seat as usual, started leveling in World of Warcraft.

The upgrade speed of the nostalgic server is not as fast as that of the official server. After three days of practice, he has just climbed to level 30 at the moment.

Near noon, the door of the non-smoking room was pushed open, and Cheng Zhuo didn't need to look back to know that it was that social bastard.

After coming here several times to surf the Internet, he discovered that the living standards of the people in the small town should not be very high. At least in this non-smoking room, there are only a few fixed people who come in, and they don't come often.

The ones who have appeared more recently are him and this social bastard.

But today is a little different.

After this buddy was seated, he took the initiative to look over while the phone was on, and chatted with Cheng Zhuo.

"So early today?"

Cheng Zhuo turned his head.

"You didn't come two days ago, where did you go?" the man asked again.
