Ginger's grocery store

Friendship Road is long and straight. Tall camphor trees are planted on both sides of the road. The thick leaves block the light of the street lamp, and the light has become dim when it falls to the ground.

On the left side of Youyi Road, elegant and exquisite bungalows gradually appear. There is melodic piano music coming from no one knows which house is close to the bungalow area.

On the right, there is a large undemolished tube building. The three- to four-story building was built in the 80s and [-]s. It was the dormitory for the employees of the former handkerchief factory.Later, after the handkerchief factory was restructured and contracted to private individuals, it was relocated to the suburbs, and a large number of employees were laid off. However, the dormitory building survived the storm and became a private property through purchase.

The wires, network cables, etc. stretched between the old tube buildings seem to enclose this old place like a big net, which has become a social problem.

Dismantling, cannot afford to dismantle; retain, cannot retain.

Walking on the road of friendship, I feel that a capital barrier has been erected here out of thin air for no reason.

Jiang Yuan was riding on the road, looking for No. 18 Huang Mansion with his eyes wide open.

The bungalows are mostly surrounded by exquisitely shaped iron fences, with roses or wisterias climbing, and the house numbers are hidden in them, which can't be seen without a little eyesight.After finally finding it, Jiang Yuan got out of the car, walked over with the package in his arms, and rang the doorbell.

"Who are you looking for?" A middle-aged woman's voice came.

Jiang Yuan subconsciously looked at the door, which was still closed, and realized that it was the voice from the electronic access control. He said to the door control: "Hi, I'm here to deliver the courier. Is Mr. Baiwei there?"

"You are in the wrong place. There is no one named Bai in our family."

Jiang Yuan looked at the package. The courier slip on it clearly stated Huang Mansion, No. 18 Youyi Road. He checked the house number again, and it was correct. "Excuse me, is this the Huang Mansion?"

"Yes, the master's family name is Huang, and there is no one named Bai." After finishing speaking, the gate guard hung up and made no more noise.

Jiang Yuan was puzzled, could it be that the customer had filled in the wrong address, and it was a bad start, so he turned to look at Da Jin who was immobile in the car basket, "If you can't send it out, then take it back?"

Lazily, Da Jin straightened his back, raised his neck (where is the neck?), and educated like a dean, "What is the thing on the neck? The brain is a good thing, and you have it too." Yawning, Da Jin waved his paw impatiently, "Look at what I'm doing, I have a way on my mind, think for yourself."

Da Jin never knew how soft and cute he was when he put on a serious expression with a big pie face. Mr. Hu is hard and can't be soft and cute. Jiang Yuan said that Da Jin was going to blow his hair.

"Da Jin, you keep saying that you are Lord Tiger, why do you look like a cat?" Maybe it is a dyed orange cat, Jiang Yuan thinks it is really possible, orange color and Da Jin are more suitable.

Amber rolled her eyes, but unfortunately there are no white eyes. This white eye is not so authentic, but the emotional expression is very good. Da Jin said: "I am one of the four spirits, the White Tiger True Lord. I have witnessed the prehistoric disaster. Well, the main body is one The basketball court can’t fit in it, and it scares you to death when it’s transformed, and Husla invades the earth, hehe, it’s quite touching to hear.”

"Wow." Jiang Yuan yelled cooperatively, looking at his expression, he wasn't so surprised. He had experienced too much, and few things could shake his heart. "Then it's better to keep the cat. I know the guests, don't I?" you?"

Jiang Yuan squatted down (body), smiled and said to the little creature that appeared: "Mr. Baiwei?"

The hedgehog on crutches is about the size of a football, and he is definitely a "big man" in the hedgehog family. His back spines are sparse and weak, and he has lost his youthful and healthy luster, his skin is wrinkled, and old spots appear. With a pair of reading glasses in front of him, he spoke slowly, revealing his love for the younger generation, "I am Baiwei, the family fairy of this family, my legs and feet are not flexible, and I can't walk that far, please, brother Take this trip at night to deliver."

Jiaxian, also known as the God of Wealth of the Five Luck, Baojiaxian, etc., is a "big fairy" enshrined by the folks. Family worship and family immortals protect each other for mutual benefit. With the continuous popularization of scientific concepts, it is rare to see Jiaxian.

There are fox yellow, white willow and gray. The first two are easy to understand. They are fox fairy and weasel. It is really hard to guess from the text at the back. In fact, they are very common animals. White corresponds to hedgehog, willow is snake, and gray It is a mouse.

Then, the guest in front of him, Baiwei, is the Great Immortal Bai, who is enshrined by the Huang family.

Jiang Yuan put the package next to Baiwei, the package was bigger than Baiwei by more than one circle, "No trouble, delivery is what we should do, thank you for taking care of Kunwuju's business."

Baiwei stretched out his hand to miss the cardboard box, and said with emotion: "It's been 20 years since Kunwuju was shut down. I used to like to pick out some rare fruits in your store and eat them. I have been shut down for 20 years. It’s as if something is missing. I’m getting older, and I used to be able to go to the store to buy it, but now... well, time doesn’t forgive people.”

Although the hedgehog is not big, his voice full of vicissitudes and eyes full of wisdom will not produce a contemptuous attitude.

Shirao signed his own name on the courier slip, very small.Jiang Yuan tore off the order, and the order was completed.

After bidding farewell to Baiwei, Jiang Yuan started to ride his bicycle again, time was running out, he had to go back before the dormitory closed.After riding for about ten meters, he turned his head with a sense of feeling, and saw that the door of Huang's mansion was pushed open a crack, and a young man came out. The man respectfully and carefully picked up the white tail, and picked up the courier .

Night Breeze sent their conversation intermittently.

"Grandpa Bai, why did you come out to get it by yourself? Just tell me, and I'll just come out."

"I just came out to take a look. Kunwuju, which has not been heard from for 20 years, has reopened. It's great."

"Then don't come out by yourself, what should you do if you are blown by the wind?"

"I'm in good health."

"..."

What else was said later, Jiang Yuan had already ridden far away and couldn't hear it.

It feels so good, very harmonious.

"Ah, life is so beautiful!" Jiang Yuan suddenly took off his hands while riding, opened his arms and shouted loudly, "I'm alive, everyone is alive, life will get better and better, ahh—no one can stop I live a good life, no one can!"

"Jiang Yuan, you're crazy!" Da Jin's eyes widened, his claws firmly grasped the edge of the car basket, and he yelled along with Jiang Yuan's shout, "Ah, watch out for me, I'm going to be dumped out."

"It's okay, I'm under control..." I couldn't speak too much, and was instantly slapped in the face. Fortunately, there were long legs supporting the ground at the moment of the fall, avoiding the danger of the big face touching the ground.Jiang Yuan rubbed his nose and said awkwardly, "Careless."

Da Jin was terrified, "My face turned pale from fright."

Jiang Yuan looked at Da Jin's snow-white long hair, and nodded agreeingly, "Yes, it's even whiter."

"The owner of Kunwuju should behave dignifiedly and not get angry. If you are as crazy as you, change it for me." Da Jin straightened his face, and began to educate Jiang Yuan again, and put him on Kunwu. The rules and regulations of the homeowner.

Grasping the handle of the car, Jiang Yuan stepped on his foot and started on the road again, "Then it's not me."

"But almost the owners of Kunwuju in the past have been like this. Your predecessor did the best."

"Running Kunwuju didn't say that I should suppress my nature. I am me. I will study hard and master various skills, but I will not pinch my own flesh and blood into that box called Ruya." Jiang Yuan said With a whimper, the young voice was full of vigor and vigor, "Just watch, I will successfully become a regular."

Da Jin wrinkled his face in confusion, three layers of soft flesh appeared on his chin, "But, Mr. Kunwu is like this."

Da Jin's voice was too low for Jiang Yuan to hear, so he didn't ask.

···

Jiang Yuan was lazy, and took a shortcut to save time, that is, turn into Tongzilou, cross this building and walk through a small park to the south gate of the school, which is very close.The Tongzilou is full of smoke and fire. The husband and wife are arguing over some trivial matters. The young father of the family is teaching the children to do simple addition and subtraction. Coughing on the creaking recliner... Behind every window is the most unpretentious life.

The houses in Tongzilou were built irregularly, resulting in a lot of small alleyways.

The street lamps have been in disrepair for a long time, some are flickering, and some have completely lost their light.

The dim bright spot projected onto the ground is small, only illuminating a square inch of land.

Jiang Yuan hummed an out-of-tune tune and rode his bicycle, passing by a trail that emerged from the road, he glanced there subconsciously, and his heart was beating like thunder, he slammed on the brakes, and shook his head vigorously to look over.In the alley, where the dim light could barely reach, a person was lying with a knife stuck in his abdomen, dead or alive, and another person squatted halfway to one side, holding the handle of the knife as if he was committing murder.

These are not important, what is important is the man holding the handle of the knife, the person Jiang Yuan has been thinking about since his rebirth, his old man.

In the ten years of wandering in a foreign country in the previous life, the two of them supported each other and loved each other, and went through many ups and downs and twists and turns.

When the other party is there, the world is there.

The old man didn't talk much about his past, and neither did Jiang Yuan. No one wanted to recall the sad past.

Jiang Yuan knew that he had done a lot in the family business and was the heir appointed by his grandfather.For money, power and status, relatives whose blood is thicker than water turn around and become enemies with knives. The old man was murdered by his uncle, lost his eyes, cut off his legs, and became a homeless man curled up in a bridge hole in a foreign country.

Jiang Yuan and the old man did not know each other when they fought for the ownership of the bridge hole on a stormy night, and they have been walking together ever since.It's a pity that they couldn't walk together to grow old, and being hunted down, they embraced each other and threw themselves into the river when they had nowhere to go.

Jiang Yuan thought that when he met his old friend again, he would burst into tears with excitement, but found that he was smiling when he really met him, silently smiling, it's great, they met.

The fiery gaze fell on the body, and the man holding the knife handle noticed it and looked over. He was wearing a black two-button suit, the suit buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the white silk shirt inside. He looked like he had just left work from a high-end office building. elite men.

The man's eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, which can't be described in words. When he saw Jiang Yuan, a certain emotion flashed in his eyes quickly, and it was fleeting. When he looked closely at Pinghu's calm water-like eyes, he could only see the indifference of a stranger.

"Need, do you need help?" Jiang Yuan felt a sense of homelessness, and because of nervousness, the moisture in his mouth seemed to be pulled away. He swallowed, stretched out his tongue uncomfortably and licked his dry lips, which was rare when he spoke. stuttered. "I, I can pretend that I didn't see or see anything. There is no surveillance in this area. You can go. I will call the police and call an ambulance after you leave. No one will know that you have been here."

The more Jiang Yuan spoke, the smoother he got. He didn't know where his brain was going. He had already made up his mind that he would take the blame and never let the old man suffer again. He was about to be moved by himself.

Da Jin in the car basket looked at the excited Jiang Yuan with black lines all over his head, wondering if the Xuanjian was broken, maybe he found a fool with bad views.

The deep and melodious laughter sounded so sweet, and the man said: "You misunderstood, this man was drunk and robbed with a knife, before I could do anything to resist, he fell down on the ground, and the knife was just inserted into his stomach. I have called the police and 120, and they will come soon."

Jiang Yuan was embarrassed, and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, what can I do now?"

The man shook his head, and lowered his eyelids to cover his eyes. The turbulent emotions inside could not be seen by others. He said, "Thank you, no need."

But Jiang Yuan made up his mind not to leave, the sea of ​​people is so vast, it is so difficult to find someone, now he meets at the corner, how could he miss it so easily, he needs to set up friendship first, and then ask for the phone number, it’s okay if you don’t give him, he can call Give your own number to the old man.

"Master, don't drive me away." After making a decision, Jiang Yuan slipped his lips, and blurted out the wrong number that he was used to in his previous life.

The man let go of the dagger and couldn't help shaking it. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise, "I'm only in my 30s this year, and I'm not yet old enough to be a grandpa."

The corners of Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched, and he vomited wildly in his heart: You were not very old when we met, but you have a calm and introverted personality, humble and polite, and you have a set of principles. Isn't it just an old cadre who acts like a teacup? It's like the uncle of the newspaper.

Can't you say that in your mouth, and show such intimacy as soon as you come, you have a problem when you think about it, how to develop your own way of flirting. "Cough cough, slip of the tongue, I want to say uncle, uncle, yes, uncle."

The man had already stood up, and pulled out a checkered handkerchief from his inner pocket with a clean hand. There was an exquisitely embroidered logo on the corner of the handkerchief, and the price was estimated to be quite high.But he was not stingy, and wiped his bloody hands directly, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am still old, and I am already the age of uncle."

"No way, you are very handsome, you are a male god." After the words fell, Jiang Yuan wanted to slap himself, make you talk fast, make you talk cheap, and tease you before you ask for a phone number!

Hearing the sound of the police siren from far to near, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he could take it easy, and seeing his old friend suddenly, he couldn't help himself and couldn't control himself.

Only ten minutes had passed since the police called the police, and the police came out urgently, along with an ambulance, doctors and nurses to rescue the wounded, Jiang Yuan leaned his bicycle against the wall and followed the man cheekily, watching He calmly answered the police's inquiries, watching him calmly describe the experience of encountering a drunk, his gentle conversation, elegant and dignified demeanor, everything in Jiang Yuan's eyes was not perfect.

Especially the man's eyes, Jiang Yuan looked fascinatedly, he found that the man's eyes are really beautiful, the shape of the eyes is slender and full, the thick eyelashes protect the black stone-like pupils, the eyes seem to reflect the sky in a calm and clear lake The bright moon and stars, when looking at myself intently, I feel that my soul is about to be absorbed.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan hated those who hurt the old man even more. He must be jealous that the old man has a pair of eyes that can capture people's hearts and see through people's hearts, so he blinded him.

That's abominable!

Uh... Jiang Yuan's heart tightened, seeing through people's hearts?

Jiang Yuan lowered his head blushingly, did he see through his little thoughts?

"Meeting by chance can be regarded as fate, why don't we exchange names and contact information."

Jiang Yuan secretly raised his head to take a look. Instead of a tall, tall and vigorous old man in front of him, he was replaced by an acne policeman with small pimples on his cheeks somehow. "Where is the person!?" Jiang Yuan hurriedly turned around to look for someone. There were only one or two policemen left in the alley to check the scene, and there was no old man anywhere. "Fuck!" He actually disappeared while he was bowing his head, is he worthy of the days and nights he has been thinking about since he was reborn! ! !

"Are you looking for the man just now?"

"Uncle policeman, do you know where he went?"

The policeman was depressed. He was just old-looking, but he just turned 30 years old. "He was taken to the police station to make a statement. He said that you were just passing by, and you didn't know each other. I just asked you some questions about routine matters." question."

Everyone left, and Jiang Yuan, who was full of energy just now, suddenly turned into a frost-beaten eggplant, wilting, "Oh, you can ask."

···

The shared bicycle was parked in front of the dormitory area, and Jiang Yuan walked in with heavy steps before closing the door, completely ignoring the dissatisfied expression of the dormitory auntie.The dejected Jiang Yuan wailed again and again. If he missed this opportunity, where would he find someone?

Da Jin, who escaped the hot eyes of the dormitory auntie, jumped out from the grass, and asked Jiang Yuan to hug him. After being hugged, it was like a fluffy blanket in Jiang Yuan's hands, and every strand of his body covered him. The hair is written "I'm fat, I'm slack, I'm fat", yawning and asking: "Is that your lover?"

"Ang." Jiang Yuan replied weakly.

"As the owner of Kunwuju, cheer me up!" Da Jin gave Jiang Yuan a paw unceremoniously, and said with a snort, "It's just a mortal, so it shouldn't be too easy to find."

"Really?" Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Da Jin said coolly: "If someone fails the test and cannot become a full-time member, hehe, then he will not be found."

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass."
