Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Even if he didn't listen, Li Qiu guessed what the eldest brother would say to Ah Jiu, after all, the eldest brother never liked Ah Jiu very much.In the past, it was because of Ah Jiu's status as a Tong family member, but now, it was probably because of Ah Jiu's relationship with him.

"My elder brother's temper is a bit aggressive, he didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"Don't worry, no."

real?Li Qiu scratched Ah Jiu's palm suspiciously, seeing that Ah Jiu was unmoved, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "In short, no matter what the elder brother said, don't take it too seriously. He is actually very nice, just the kind Personality, no malice."

Ah Jiu tugged at his face, "I can see that he is very protective of you, so don't worry, we can talk together."

Li Qiu wanted to say something, but Ah Jiu interrupted him and said, "Let's not talk about it, you have been lying down all day and want to eat something, there are several 24-hour restaurants nearby, let me buy you some stomach-warming porridge ?”

"No, no, let's go home early. It's uncomfortable to live in the hospital. There are all materials at home, and it's cleaner than outside. When I feel better tomorrow, I'll make your favorite braised pork with rice, okay? "

Ah Jiu nodded with a smile, bent over to wrap him up, and put on his shoes.

Li Qiu stared at Ah Jiu's furry head, and suddenly said softly, "Ah Jiu, what are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything."

"You have, I can see it."

Ah Jiu persisted for a few seconds, but soon gave up, Li Qiu could always easily see through all his thoughts, his sensitivity in this area was even worse than that of Ah Jiu.

"I'm thinking... I don't seem to know what you like to eat the most." Ah Jiu raised her head, dark light flashed in her deep eyes, "What do you like, what do you hate, your family, your friends, I don't know anything about it."

"That's because I didn't tell Ah Jiu."

"But I never took the initiative to understand, did I?"

Li Qiu wanted to get out of bed, but Ah Jiu gently lifted him onto his strong back.

Then I heard Ah Jiu continue: "I used to be alone, and the whole family was not hungry, so I just passed by. I could sleep under the bridge hole for three days without eating or drinking, or I could stay in the homeless shelter and enjoy other people's eyes. , It doesn’t matter. But it’s different now, I’m not alone now, I still have you, I can live a life of wandering, but you can’t.”

Li Qiu blinked, and obediently lay on Ah Jiu's back, listening to him speak.

"Your elder brother is right. Maybe I really should change it. No one in this world can stay the same forever. Since I have decided to be with you, I should take the initiative to do something and help you share something. After all, it is your and my life now, and it should be created by us together."

Li Qiu's heart felt slightly hot, "Well, okay, the two of us are together."

Ah Jiu kissed Li Qiu's earlobe, and left the hospital behind his back.

"Then let's make an agreement. Starting tomorrow, we will plan our lives together. While you are taking care of your body, I will go out and look for a job. Anyway, I have already learned what I should know. The rest It’s how to feed my family Ali.”

Li Qiu was slightly taken aback, "Ah Jiu, what did you call me just now?"

"Ali, that's what I heard your elder brother call you, a very affectionate name."

"Big brother is big brother, you don't have to try to learn from him."

"I'm not imitating him, I'm just jealous of him." Ah Jiu said nonchalantly, then looked back at the surprised Li Qiu, and smiled: "I'm jealous when I hear someone call you that, even if it's your elder brother. "

Li Qiu's cheeks turned red quickly, and he buried his hot face on the back of Ah Jiu's neck, and refused to lift it up until he got home.

Two days later, Ah Jiu didn't break her promise to Li Qiu and went out to look for a job.

But Li Qiu was not at ease, and suggested that Ah Jiu go to Gu Chazhuang to try it first. After staying with Li Qiu for so long, taking care of the business of the tea estate should be the most suitable job for Ah Jiu at present.

The business in the store is very idle, and the basic steps are to visit the store, welcome customers, recommend products, and complete transactions.When there are no customers, there is a lot of time to sit in the store.How could Ah Jiu have such patience before, but this time she seemed to be determined, sitting firmly in the shop, not leaving a step away.

Li Qiu peeked outside for a while, and after making sure Ah Jiu was fine alone, he walked around the tea house and quietly came to an alley behind the tea house.The alley was narrow and old, the facades on both sides were broken and toppled, but at the end of the alley, there stood a shop in operation miraculously.

Hao's second-hand antique shop.

The house plate with the word "hao" was loose and no one repaired it. At first glance, it looked like a second-hand antique shop of "jia".These days, as a front shop, the antique business is not the best choice, and it is a second-hand antique shop with a remote location, so it is inevitable that there are not many people.

Li Qiu smiled lightly, and walked in familiarly.As soon as he stepped through the door, the infrared sensor at the door sent out from time to time, and a mechanical bird poked its head out from the wall clock, hopping and calling: "Welcome princess! Welcome princess! Welcome princess!"

The shop is not big, but it is full of antiques, big and small, and dusty, leaving only one passage to pass through.Li Qiu lowered his head, and saw potato chip packages, drink bottles and greasy paper towels lying all over the aisle, and he didn't know how long they had been discarded casually.

Li Qiu frowned, pulled out a bag from under the antique shelf, and picked up the trash one by one.

"Yawn...don't clean it up, we're not used to it being too clean." A man yawned lazily from the long table behind the shelf.Li Qiu walked over, and saw a slovenly middle-aged man lying on the chair. The man's legs were raised up on the table with his slippers in between. next to his legs.

Li Qiu had black lines all over his head, "Uncle Hao, you are too..."

"Too wimpy? Well, it turns out that the princess is more gentle. My little brat came over yesterday. Guess what he said? He said that I am a middle-aged unemployed man by the window who doesn't love his wife or son!"

"...Yangyang is quite right."

"Let's just say, you are worthy of my little brat."

Li Qiu let out a sigh of relief, rolled up his sleeves, and started cleaning the store.Hao Qionghai is usually thick-skinned, but when he saw Li Qiu helping him sweep the floor, he would get up embarrassed and stand awkwardly behind the chair.

"Hey, don't do it, put it there, I heard from my elder brother that you were hospitalized with a stomach attack again? Hey, don't do it, don't do it, little ancestor, why don't I come here?"

Li Qiu straightened up, quickly threw the instant noodles into the trash bag, "Sit down, anyway, I'm fine today, I've been lying in bed for the past two days and my body is numb, so it's good to move around."

Hao Qionghai scratched his head in embarrassment, and had no choice but to find something to say: "I heard that you have a good relationship with that ghost recently?"

"Why are you all so gossip?" Thinking of the exact same argument in his elder brother's mouth, Li Qiu stood up his broom and said amusedly, "Ajiu and I gossip when you have time, have you finished your serious work? Is your brother's goods sold out?" ? Uncle Hao, is there any new news from your informant?"

"Hey hey, it's not that life is too boring and I always want to find something to kill. If you didn't allow us to participate in Luoyang, I would have dragged my little bastard to play."

"Yangyang? How old is Yangyang, you just want him to go to the ground."

Hao Qionghai lit a cigarette for himself, and the old god was there: "Hey, it's too soon or too late, you were young when you first went to the field, not a few years older than he is now."

"My situation was different at that time, not to mention that when I first went to the field, all of you went out to accompany me. Therefore, there is no rush for Yangyang's affairs. You wait for a while, and I will find a chance to make arrangements later, and everyone will make arrangements together. He made a decent 'debut ceremony'."

"I said princess, you may underestimate my bastard too much." Hao Qionghai pointed forward with his finger holding the cigarette, pointing to the mechanical bird clock that just came in at the door. "I didn't buy this infrared sensor. It was made by that kid at school. He used leftover materials from the store. He also made a monitor and some kind of face recognition system. Hey, high-tech ones don't work."

Li Qiu looked back and said with certainty: "Yang Yang is indeed a genius in this respect."

"So, don't treat him like a child anymore, bring him directly to the next job, and he should almost inherit my title."

Li Qiu glanced at him, and angrily knocked on the table with the broom: "I just ask Yang Yang not to inherit from you."

Hao Qionghai didn't have to shiver twice, and went back listlessly, obediently clearing up the trash on the table.When the store was completely new, Li Qiu saw that the time was about the same, and got up to say goodbye.

"I'll leave first. You should contact your elder brother more about the payment, and come to me if you are in doubt."

"Success, you don't have lunch here? I know that the newly opened Chuan Chuan at Qiantou Street is good."

"No, Ah Jiu is still waiting for me in the shop."

"Ghost Eye is in your store now!?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the man who was lazy just a moment ago "huh" sat up, his eyes shone with a sharp light like a falcon, and his previous unrestrained and heartless appearance disappeared in an instant.

Li Qiu's heart moved, and he subconsciously said: "Yes, he helped me look after the shop today."

Hao Qionghai supported the table with one hand, and jumped over Li Qiu nimbly: "I'll go meet him!"

"Wait, Uncle Hao, what are you doing!"

"I'll meet him, don't worry—"

Hao Qionghai rushed out of the store like a gust of wind, and the infrared sensor caught it instantly, and the mechanical bird jumped up again: "Welcome parrot! Welcome parrot! Welcome parrot!"

In the teahouse, Ah Jiu was fascinated by a book of tea books.

One morning, no one came to the store, so he just sat there all morning in vain.In the end, he came to a conclusion that he is really not suitable for such an overly simple job, and it may be because Li Qiu is not here. If Li Qiu was here today, he thinks he should be able to support him for a longer period of time.

The wall watch in the shop pointed to twelve o'clock, Ah Jiu stretched his waist, and was about to call to ask what Li Qiu was eating, when he saw a man he had never seen walking towards the tea house.

The man was wearing a white vest, and he was pulling on slippers. He had a thick green beard on his face, and he looked like a middle-aged unemployed man with a slovenly appearance.Ah Jiu sat up slightly. For some reason, he always felt that this man who seemed to be fooling around had an indescribable aura that instinctively attracted his attention.
