November 15.
Liangcheng County, Litai City, Shuhan province.
This is a small city out of touch with the times.
The newly built high-rise buildings and old brick houses are crisscrossed. Walking on the road, it seems to shuttle through two centuries, giving people a feeling of scattered time and space.
Yi Lin, Li Er Pang, Su Xiaosu and Wang Tiandi are walking on the road.
Attracted a lot of attention.
After all, this combination has a very high return rate.
Not to mention a dog with snow-white hair and coquettish expression from time to time.
Li Er Pang and Su Xiaosu, a couple with a strong contrast in body shape, are enough to attract attention.
Yilin buried himself in the road depressed.
I didn't expect to get rid of the troublesome guy and let the little fat man stick up.
Li Er Pang looked at the scene of the small city curiously. As he walked, he finally couldn't help asking, "what are you doing in such a small corner?"
"Travel."
Yilin said.
"Travel?" Li Er Pang tried to widen his eyes.
Unfortunately, it didn't succeed.
"Otherwise?"
"I believe you, you ghost."
"Believe it or not."
Yilin quarrels lazily with the little fat man.
Su Xiaosu carries a heavy bag and silently follows behind Yi Lin and Li Erpan.
On the way, Yilin also asked why Su Xiaosu had to carry her luggage behind her.
Su Xiaosu's reason is simple.
Some baggage exceeding the "threshold" cannot be stuffed into the storage space.
Besides, it doesn't matter that this weight can't compare with the weight she carries when she exercises on weekdays.
"Actually,"
Yilin suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled. The couple said, "small cities have the advantages of small cities, beautiful scenery, fresh air, simple folk customs and appropriate pace of life. This is a good place for tourism and honeymoon."
Su Xiaosu's eyes lit up and nodded.
Sounds reasonable!
After all, they grew up in big cities. The scenery of small cities is a novel experience for both little fat man and Su Xiaosu.
People always have to find something new.
Otherwise, what's the difference between salted fish and salted fish?
Li Er Pang skimmed his lips and made no comment.
He doesn't care where Irene goes.
As long as we can escape Huating city and delay the marriage as far as possible, we have achieved the goal of being a little fat man.
Hum, hum.
In order to dream, fat Lord can do anything to bear your weight!
One word: endure!
Dad, you underestimate your son's determination!
"So." Yilin saw that they had no opinion, so he continued: "in the next period of time, we will act separately."
Li Er Pang listens.
Something's wrong.
This is clearly trying to find a reason to get rid of them?
Naive.
no way!
The little fat man smiled coldly: "what about living?"
"What job?"
"The work of the special group! Lao Zhao said that he came out with you to do business."
Yilin was speechless: "what did Zhao tell you?"
"Cough, I want to experience. It's always right to follow the boy Yilin. Anyway, he's unlucky. He can meet things everywhere. That's what he said."
Yilin: "... Get out."
Li Er Pang: "
I don't know if the little fat man really wants to live, or just to escape marriage. It seems that he is determined to follow. No matter what reason Yilin used, Li Er Pang refused to leave.
Erin can't help it.
He could only send Su Xiaosu a private chat.
Su Xiaosu understood in an instant.
Without saying a word, she took the little fat man's collar and dragged him away.
"Sleeping trough! Young man, you're unreasonable! What about going together and going back? Can we still be good friends?"
Yilin suddenly remembered the movement in Li Changge's villa, hesitated for a moment, and decided to kindly remind: "take it easy."
Su Xiaosu: "
Li Er Pang: "??"
Yilin: "ordinary places can't stand your tossing."
Li Er Pang was stunned when he heard the speech and was angry in an instant: "I'm tossing your sister!"
Su Xiaosu blushed and said in a sweet voice, "OK."
Ah, this?
wait.
I, I, fat man, I haven't promised yet!
"No -"
Li Erpan was dragged away by Su Xiaosu, and Li Erpan's wailing came from a distance.
I don't know why, Li Er Pang's last shrill voice always made a strange BGM echo in Yi Lin's mind.
Snow and flowers float.
Shaking his head, after shaking off the happy little fat man, Yilin was finally free and could start busy with his own affairs.
He recalled the list Molly had compiled for him.
In conclusion, Yilin left the capital for only two purposes.
Personally confirm the past of these people listed on the "list" and witness their past.
There are even eight shadows in the future.
Of course, the next eight shadows have gone two, leaving six people.
He wants to use his own eyes to confirm whether there is something wrong with the world.
As for the second purpose, it is more clear.
Yilin can now distinguish the mysterious "resentment" with the "naked eye". No matter the size, thickness and quality, he can become the ration for the upgrading of [resentment], raw and cold.
At the very least, pile up the current progress bar to see if there will be any new changes.
The mystery of [resentment] is beyond Yilin's imagination.
There may be surprises.
an hour later.
Yilin came to the center of Liangcheng County and city.
During this period, Li Er Pang complained one after another. In order to keep his ears clean and his chest no longer vibrated, Yilin decided to set it as "don't disturb mode" so that the little fat man could exchange feelings with sister Su at ease.
Mayor Li said no and asked him to take good care of his son and daughter-in-law. Yilin was very clever and let them get along alone and take care of them clearly.
Some buildings in Liangcheng County are still in a glued state.
Those buildings, wall paint peeling, vaguely showing the breath of vicissitudes.
It is somewhat similar to Yiwu County, where Ling Yiyi grew up. There are four-wheel cars jumping around.
"Choosing to take root in such a city is really like his style."
After the meteorite night, there is no such thing as satellite navigation in the world.
But there are electronic maps.
Yilin quickly downloaded a copy of the latest map of Liangcheng County, and then followed the address and quietly came to a building.
There is a row of old shops here.
Clothing, stalls, snack bars, jewelry, everything.
Occasionally, men and women in all kinds of autumn clothes strolled in this street with their necks shrunk in the autumn wind.
After the development of online shopping, the business of physical stores is difficult to do.
But there is always a small group of people who occasionally come out to enjoy the pleasure of on-site shopping. After all, they feel different.
In front of Yilin, there is a hot pot shop with cold business.
It's called "hot pot dog male".
When Wang Tiandi saw the word "dog", he narrowed his eyes and sent out a trace of killing intention.
——Very unhappy.
Is the dog hot and cute? Is it used to make hot pot?
It's used to protect, love and hug, okay?
Although the dog didn't say, it seemed to use such a body expression language, sending out a silent protest.
Yilin kicked Wang Tiandi without expression.
Motioned him to act more like a dog and don't show his dog legs.
A man and a dog approached a few steps, and a thick smell of pepper, mixed with all kinds of messy spices, came to our faces.
There were no guests in the shop, not a single guest.
Under the dim light, from time to time, there are a few flies fluttering their wings and buzzing, very rustling.
Next to the door, there is a job advertisement posted.
"Recruitment?"
Yilin thought about it, tore down the recruitment notice and walked into the store.
A greasy curly uncle dozed off on one of the tables.
Several flies hovered above his skull.
After Yilin enters the store, uncle curly hair suddenly raises his head and looks at Yilin blearily, with knife carved crow's feet squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.
"This --"
Yilin just had time to say a word.
Uncle curly bounced up.
He quickly squeezed out a smiling face, revealing two rows of neat rhubarb teeth.
"Hey, hey, little brother, eat hot pot? In our shop, spicy hot pot is a sign. It's a classic craft handed down for hundreds of years. The secret recipe will never be spread. This authentic spicy flavor can't be eaten outside!"
Yellow tooth curly saw that it was rare for a guest to come to the door. He said a string of lines that seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times. He spoke very fast.
"I..."
Yellow teeth curly hair looked down, and there was a cold smiling dog at Yilin's feet.
Although he wondered why the dog's expression was so vivid and his eyes flickered with disdain... He didn't care too much and quickly added: "don't worry, there are no broken rules that pets are not allowed in our shop. Come on, sit down! Ah bah, there's no one... Wait a minute!"
Yilin saw that yellow tooth curly hair seemed to be really ready to get into the inner room and wanted to give Wang Tiandi a seat. He hurriedly said, "I'm here to apply for a job."
"Apply?"
"Well, apply."
As Yilin said, he lit up the recruitment notice that had just been torn off.
Yellow teeth curly hair stared at the broken paper that had been kneaded into a lump and spread out again.
"Sleeping trough? Why did you tear it off?"
"Didn't you just recruit one person?"
Yellow tooth curly cried and laughed: "but I haven't promised to recruit you."
"Your request is not high."
"But I look at my face."
"So I should be able to." Yilin pointed to his face.
"..." Huang Ya curly hair was silent for a moment, looked at Yi Lin up and down, flashed a different color in his eyes, and slowly said, "listen to your accent, it's not like a local."
"The boss has a good eye." Yilin silently flattered.
"That's necessary. The first thing to learn in the catering industry is to observe what you say and what you say. Hey, hey, hey." Huang has the final say, "five social insurance and one housing fund." 6000 months, 1500 months, no overtime pay, no five risks, one month salary, or monthly salary. I have the final say in the daily working hours. When the boss needs you, he will be unconditional and no complaints.
Yilin was stunned.
Pointing to the recruitment notice: "but it says 7000 a month?"
Yellow tooth curly hair smiled coldly: "in the lower right corner, look carefully."
Hearing the speech, Yilin quickly smoothed the wrinkled recruitment notice.
Sure enough.
There is a line of tiny words in the lower right corner, so small that it is almost imperceptible.
——[Master Ma reserves the right of final interpretation.]
"Got it?"
"With all due respect."
"Huh?"
"No wonder your business here looks..."
"It's my business. Do it or not."
"Who is master Ma?"
"Far away, near in front of you, hey hey." Yellow tooth curly felt a cigarette. Seeing that Yilin asked this question, his eyes were much softer, puffed and pointed to his face.
"Master Ma?"
"Ma, master. What's the problem?"
"Good boss ma."
"No, I haven't promised to recruit you." Boss Ma was smoking cheap cigarettes, and the hazy smoke buried him.
In the smoke, boss Ma stared at Yilin and smiled, "why did you come to the door first? You don't seem to be down to such a small place from a big city and hide in such a broken hot pot shop."
That's all.
Wang Tiandi silently shook the dog's tail.
It seems that if a word doesn't agree, it will directly rush up and smash a claw of this hateful rhubarb tooth.
The atmosphere suddenly solidified.
