A long, long time ago, before Fengsan Middle School, which has been in operation for more than 40 years, appeared, before these dimly lit high-rise buildings stood, when Fenghua City was still a remote mountain village, this small courtyard was still green. When the willow farmland. In order to eat rice, that man opened a rice shop here.
This is not a big deal, and by this time, no one will remember it maybe.
No matter what, this little famous shop survived.
There are not many customers in the store all year round. Although the rice sold by this rice shop alone is no longer enough for household needs, although in the eyes of the neighbors this rice shop should have closed long ago The shop is not busy during the day, and when there is no one around, Zhou Yu, who is the store manager, always likes to lean on the chair and take a nap with the old fan on his face.
If no one disturbs me, today will be a relaxing day.
However, there are always people who disturb people¡¯s leisure time, just like mosquitoes in summer, their buzzing sound is very annoying!
"Hey, uncle, are you ready for this month's protection fee?" A group of young people gathered over, with colorful hair of yellow, green, blue and white. Some of them were holding thick wooden sticks in their hands. They knocked on the counter of the shop with one stick and shouted loudly: "If you are not ready, you don't have to hang around here!"
"Well let's give it a couple of days. Business has been slow recently and I don't have much money." Zhou Yu sighed softly and took down the fan. He spoke in a good tone and explained patiently.
? In life, only by keeping a low profile can you live a long life. Zhou Yu, who pursues this kind of thinking, has always been able to avoid anything, and he will not participate in any incident that may cause waves in the world of Yang. Because of this, although his luck has been very bad, he has survived strongly even when many people died.
Zhou Yu has always felt that keeping a low profile is his only choice, and everything is for the sake of living a quiet life.
"No!!" The man with dyed yellow hair blew out the cigarette on the ground and shouted loudly: "You useless thing, other stores can do it, why is it that your store has no business? Such a big person, no business A little bit of success!"
"Uncle, you don't even have this little money, so why don't you open a knitting shop without fear of embarrassment!!" Another man with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes walked out from behind the yellow-haired young man, who looked like he had not woken up. Scratching his head irritably, seeing that Zhou Yu had no intention of paying, he kicked the candy plate away from the door of the store.
"Hehe, hehehe" After being yelled like this, Zhou Yu's relatively good mood suddenly sank. Seeing him kicking the candy, he didn't smile either. I gave you a smiley face, but since these guys don¡¯t want it, that¡¯s it. No matter how low-key he is, the passion that belongs to the demon has never been given up.
It¡¯s true that he doesn¡¯t want to cause trouble in the world, but the little shrimp in front of him is obviously not enough to make waves. Since he was shameless, he could only calm down the matter quickly to avoid being upset and restless. Thinking of this, he widened his eyes and yelled: "Don't think that I am easy to bully. I just don't like to be nosy. If you dare to compete again, believe it or not, I will kill you now!!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a two-foot-long watermelon knife from under the table, swung it fiercely, and split the ten-centimetre-thick wooden board in front of him into two pieces. He sneered and said, "Hey, who of you will leave again?" If you try it one step at a time, I will definitely prevent him from seeing the sun tomorrow!!!"
"Hey! Don't mess around"
"Don't act recklessly, be careful with the knife, it will kill you if you touch it!" The yellow-haired young man was immediately frightened when he saw Zhou Yu drawing the knife, and the faces of the gang behind him also changed, and they hurriedly took a few steps back. Damn it, why didn¡¯t I know this worthless guy was so powerful before? The board looked more than ten centimeters, and it was cut off in one go. How strong is this hand?
This guy has been practicing! Maybe it's one of those hidden masters in novels unlucky! !
"Brother, you are so cruel. We just have to admit defeat. As for fighting for your life!" The man with the dark circles under his eyes stepped back repeatedly. Looking at the knife, his eyebrows jumped. He tried to appease the lunatic in fear: "Brother, you have something to say. ah!"
"Let's go, this is a lunatic!"
"Brothers, let's go, don't argue with the lunatic. Damn it, just for tens of dollars!?" Amidst a series of abuses, a group of young people left. These young people just want to collect some protection money and go out to have fun. They are not so hot-headed as to risk their lives!
"Oh, how can we be so unlucky!"
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to caress the fine peach wood board that he carried out from the mountains, and said affectionately: "Old man, you have to forgive me for ten years and finally leave me I was also confused, and I was so angry that I lost my head. I will chop you down. Do you think this is good? I will cremate you in the evening and scatter your ashes under the jujube tree in the backyard. Just like Xiao Yi, weTogether forever" Zhou Yu, whose brain was twitching, talked about his feelings in front of a piece of wood, and then put away the two pieces of wood with great care.
¡¡¡¡
The annoying flies disappeared, and Zhou Yu tidied up the messy store.
He picked up the candies scattered on the floor and wiped them clean one by one. After putting the plate back on, he picked out a few candies with broken skins, sat on a bag of rice, and ate them one by one.
The afternoon passed like this, and until five o'clock, there were no customers in the store.
Just when he was about to close the door, a girl about 14 or 5 years old in school uniform ran over: "Uncle, give me five candies!" She was wearing the uniform of Fengsan Middle School, and her skin was fair and smooth. A long and narrow scar was left on the left side of the cheek, running from the top of the left eyebrow across the eye to the left cheek.
Maybe it¡¯s a scar left a long time ago. Except for some red marks, it¡¯s not very obvious if you don¡¯t look carefully. This kid is quite calm. He doesn't have bangs and just ties all his hair into a high ponytail. He looks really strong and confident.
Her voice was very loud, just like her image, strong and confident: "Just five, I have no money today."
"Okay, your candy."
The girl was one of the few regulars here. Zhou Yu skillfully selected seven candies from the various candies on the candy plate. Three milk candies, three pineapples, and a chocolate.
"Uncle, I really have no money," the girl said, but her eyes were fixed on the chocolate.
You must know that this is super expensive, costing one yuan each, and her pocket money is not enough to buy it.
"These candies just fell to the ground, do you mind?"
After hearing this, the girl's originally very happy face suddenly froze. She really put the candy in her hand and looked left and right. After making sure that the packaging of the candy was still intact, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Haha, luckily there is no packaging. It¡¯s broken, if it¡¯s broken I won¡¯t eat it, it will give me a stomachache if I eat it¡and chocolate, too sexy.¡±
¡°Uncle, let¡¯s drop it again tomorrow~¡± She put the candy into her pocket and said to Zhou Yu with a smile.
"Eat yours. If you don't, I'll take it back."
"Hehe, you are stingy. No wonder the uncle can't find a wife."
"Oh, did I just give you an extra chocolate?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, why not~" Pretending to be scared, the girl pretended to cover her pockets. She looked at the time and suddenly ran out in a hurry. Only after she was out the door did she hear her shout: "Uncle, I'm leaving first. I will remember to bring money next time."
After the guests arrived, Zhou Yu closed the door.
Come to the backyard, open the door to the yard, and cross a realm.
This is an amber realm that separates the outside and the inside of the door. Outside the door is the old shop, but behind the door is a tall and fantastic jujube tree. The thick tree requires several people to cover it, and it is tens of meters high. The lush branches and fruits cover half of the yard. .
She straightened her knee-length hair and placed it beside her, sitting quietly at the door.
The yard is not big, there is no neatly trimmed lawn, only a few sparse weeds.
In the east corner of the yard, the tall jujube tree has lush leaves, and there are still a few jujubes dancing faintly in the wind.
It is only early summer, but it is not consistent with the seasonal rules, but it is full of green dates.
"Xiao Yi, do you know" Zhou Yu picked up the dates that fell beside him and stuffed them into his mouth: "You are a liar."
"These dates are not sweet at all, you are lying."
Fifty years ago, Xiao Yi, a young girl, picked her up after being seriously injured and dying.
At that time, she often fed it the dates growing on this tree. Those dates were not very sweet, but very crisp. At that time, Xiao Yi always liked to do what he does now. When he had nothing to do, he would move a chair and sit in front of the door, staring blankly at the jujube tree.
¡¡
In the orange dusk, she stood under the tree.
She was more mature than that year and gently kicked the jujube tree.
¡¾I vaguely remember that it was also dusk.
They were like this at that time, standing quietly under the tree. At that time, Xiao Yi was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a soft face and delicate features. Her eyes were always bent into crescent moons with a smile. She looked expectantly at the little dates on the tree. At that time, she was making faces at Xiao Yi and kicking the jujube tree angrily.
She is younger than Xiao Yi, only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she is more dreamlike and illusory than that young and beautiful girl]
Zhou Yu stared blankly at the tree in front of him.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Before.
Exceptthat person is missing and that smile is missing.
After a long time, she cast her eyes on the small grave under the tree.
"Xiao Yi, I remember everything you said."
She walked out of the courtyard, passed through the realm Xiao Yi had set for her, and became that Zhou Yu again.
Xiao Yi is right, this way can really save a lot of trouble. The number of people who used to often trouble her and Xiao Yi gradually decreased, and when they grew up, grew old, and died, no one cared about them anymore
