Demon in the world

After Ajiu left Wenren's house, she didn't follow Aunt Xue's plan to live in the fixed house, but got off the car halfway and left.

Although Aunt Xue was worried, she couldn't resist Ah Jiu's persistence, and finally left a phone number for him to contact when needed.

The sky was very low under the pressure of dark clouds, and the air was condensed with the hot and humid humidity that was about to come from the wind and rain. Ah Jiu stood on the side of the road and waited for a long time before he dared to walk carefully across the road at the red light.

Carrying the backpack that Aunt Xue bought for him, wearing an off-white hoodie and sky blue jeans, he seemed to be no different from an ordinary high school student in the crowd.

But Ah Jiu knew in her heart that she was different from them.

He was afraid of the speeding cars, the cold and tall buildings, and the waiters who wore masks and smiled stiffly in the roadside shops.

He didn't know where he was going next, but since he knew that his brother was in Yudu, he didn't want to wander elsewhere, let alone go back to Lanyin Temple like this.

Living in the city does not seem to be an easy task, Ah Jiu thought to a hand that was stretched out.

He is obviously a healthy man, but he uses the hands that God gave him to work for begging. Is he forced by life or does he really like this kind of life?

As he thought, he paid attention to the small advertisement posted on the side of the road, hoping to find a suitable job from it.

Fuli Hotel is recruiting male public relations, with a height of more than 1.8 meters and good health, with a monthly salary of [-]... The treatment seems good, but unfortunately I am not tall enough.

A wealthy foreign businessman urgently recruits a surrogate woman with 20 yuan, food, clothing, housing and transportation for one year, and [-] yuan for the birth of a son... This seems to be even worse.

Xiongfeng Outpatient Department of Urology, May [-]st reward, free expert consultation, [-]% off circumcision... Circumcision?purse?Ah Jiu wondered if the words "purse" were printed upside down?

Looking further, there are cheap certificates, low-cost loans, and a corpse claim notice... I didn't see any suitable ones, but Ah Jiu was more and more shocked by the world.

The raindrops that had been brewing for a long time finally fell from the sky, and a bean-sized one hit his eyelids painfully. Ah Jiu hid in a small street full of green banyan trees, and the thick leaves above his head could temporarily shelter him from the wind and rain.

In the end, the rain became heavier and heavier, and even the underside of the tree was wet. Ah Jiu's eyes turned to the side of the road, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a small noodle shop, and on the half-drawn iron door were two huge words: Recruitment. It seemed that there was no requirement for academic qualifications or status.

Ah Jiu ran over, knocked on the iron door a few times, and finally a shirtless man came out, with an unhappy expression on his face, "Rest now, come tonight for noodles."

He wore a pair of plywood slippers on his feet. He was black and thin. The flesh was wrapped around the skeleton as if there was only a layer of skin. His eyebrows were so pale that they were almost invisible, and his eyes were narrowed into slits.

Others looked a little sloppy, but it didn't matter to Ah Jiu. Pointing to the writing on the door, he said, "Do you still need people here?"

The man grabbed his arm and said, "Are you still a student? We don't want part-time jobs here."

Ah Jiu happily said: "I am not."

The man raised his eyes and looked at him, "What will you do?"

Ah Jiu said: "It's okay to wash the dishes, sweep the floor and wipe the table. I can also cook simple dishes, and I can learn other things I don't know."

"How much salary do you want?"

Ah Jiu said: "If you can let me eat and live here, I don't need money."

"So good?" The man looked at him dubiously, "Let's clean up the sanitation here first."

Ah Jiu walked in and found that the inside was in a mess, with black and yellow oil stains hanging on the walls, the tables and chairs were all sticky, a layer of chopsticks and paper towels were thrown on the ground, and a pile of bowls used by the guests were left there. tidy.

Ah Jiu put down her backpack, picked up the towel and broom, and started to do things seriously.

He always does things in an unhurried and orderly manner. At first, the man stood aside and watched, yawning, and then went to the back to rest by himself.

From one o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon, for four hours, Ah Jiu cleaned up the entire store to a new look.

When the man woke up, he wiped his fingers on the snow-white wall a few times, and kept his mouth shut for a long time, "What's your name?"

"Ah Jiu."

"Ah Jiu? I've decided to hire you."

Ah Jiu rolled his eyes and said gratefully, "Thank you!"

Ah Jiu stayed in the noodle shop like this, and when he heard the greetings from the guests at night, he realized that the man's surname was Cai, he was the owner of the noodle shop, he had no wife, and only had a son who was in elementary school.

Boss Cai is very indifferent and usually doesn't have a smiley face. The strange thing is that there are not many customers at all. It seems that they all come after 05:30 for discussion.

Ah Jiu wore an apron with a picture of chicks on it, running around like a spinning top, and many people in the store followed him back and forth.

With Ah Jiu here, Boss Cai stayed in the kitchen and did not go out. When he was free, he would sit on the bench and watch Ah Jiu busy outside, completely like an outsider.

When it was dark, Boss Cai's son, Xiao Cai, came back, with a round face like a freshly steamed white steamed bun, licking a lollipop and circling around Ah Jiu, "Brother, who are you?"

"My name is Ah Jiu, and I've been working here since today."

"how old are you?"

"Seventeen."

Xiao Cai continued to ask: "Why don't you go to school anymore? I want to be like you too, but my dad won't let me..."

Boss Cai lifted the curtain, "Come in and let me see how many mistakes I made in today's arithmetic homework."

Xiaohualanzi reluctantly twisted his body and walked in. After a while, Ah Jiu heard earth-shattering slaps coming from inside, Xiao Cai ran out screaming and covering his buttocks, hiding behind Ah Jiu and crying Shout: "Brother, help!"

Seeing Boss Cai chasing after him with an angry expression on his face, Ah Jiu quickly opened his arms, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't be angry with the children."

The few guests outside seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and they also persuaded them a few words.

Boss Cai couldn't hold back his face, so he went into the kitchen with a stern face.

After eight o'clock, the guests gradually dispersed. Boss Cai closed the iron gate and came out with two bowls of noodles.

The child is very forgetful, and he forgot about being beaten after going out for a while, and asked curiously: "Why are there only two bowls? What does Brother Ah Jiu eat?"

Boss Cai pushed a bowl to Ah Jiu, and he ate the other bowl himself.

Xiao Cai was dumbfounded, "Dad, I'm hungry."

Boss Cai said unhappily: "Hungry, you can't even add, subtract, multiply, and divide single-digit numbers. What am I doing with you!"

Ah Jiu silently pushed the bowl over, Boss Cai glanced at him, went to the kitchen silently and brought out another bowl.

The surface looks very ordinary, but after entering the mouth, Ah Jiu understands why many regular customers come.

Covered with a few slices of thin, almost transparent meat, the face and body are as white as jade, full of gluten when biting, refreshing and springy, and paired with clear soup and green vegetables, it is a wonderful combination.More importantly, his price is extremely cheap.

Ah Jiu hugged the bowl and said, "It's delicious."

Boss Cai twitched the corners of his mouth, and it was considered a smile.

Ah Jiu is diligent and gentle, always smiling and patient, even the picky Boss Cai has gradually become close to him, and even added an electric fan to his small room.

Ah Jiu said with satisfaction: "Boss Cai is really a good person."

Xiao Cai bit the tip of her pen and was depressed, "I only heard you say that he is good. Those in front couldn't bear his pettyness and left."

Ah Jiu pinched his face, "I heard that tuition fees are very expensive now, he should be saving money for you."

"No, Brother Ah Jiu, let me tell you a secret," Xiao Cai whispered, "My father is actually very rich. The box under the bed is full of money. If you take it out, you should be able to buy a big house!"

Ah Jiu said: "Then he should have other uses."

Xiao Cai curled his lips pretending to be old-fashioned, "Cut, he's just a money addict."

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, Ah Jiu missed his master and senior brother more and more day by day, but after weighing it, he still didn't want to go back.

Although this street is very remote, Ah Jiu can hear the latest news from Wen Renchu ​​almost every day.

The prince has returned to China. At the end of the month, Channel A will have an exclusive interview with the prince. A mysterious man appeared in the prince's villa and was secretly photographed...

The limited common sense of life accumulated so far tells Ah Jiu that the world has been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, and that human beings are born from eggs is purely nonsense and unscientific. 30 years and Wen Renchu ​​is only less than 25 years old now, so he probably wasn't the one who hugged me back then...

Ah Jiu is a young man from Caiji noodle restaurant, and Wenren Chu is a noble prince who is paid attention to by the whole country. There seems to be no relationship between the two, but Ah Jiu doesn't want to give up.

The days are so dull, day after day.

One day in June at noon, the venomous sun seemed to melt everything on the earth. Ah Jiu was dozing off on the table. There was the sound of parking at the door, and then someone knocked hard on the iron door.

Ah Jiu went to open the door and saw an unexpected acquaintance: Xiao Man.

At this time, he was wearing a suit and leather collar, which was smooth and stylish, and it seemed that the entire store was lit up when he stood there.

Xiao Man was also surprised when he saw him, and then said with a smile: "Are you here to eat noodles or play?"

Ah Jiu said: "I work here."

Xiao Man raised his eyebrows and stopped talking to him, "Is Boss Cai here?"

"Sleep in the back, I'll call him."

Xiao Man stopped him, "No, I'll go by myself."

Ah Jiu sat down, her ears were more sensitive than ordinary people's, but she couldn't help but listen to what was going on behind her.

"Bang!" It seemed that something had been thrown out, and Boss Cai's voice came later, "I said I would not do anything for Wenren, take your money and leave, and don't do such boring things in the future."

Xiao Man said: "Does Boss Cai think it's too little? Everything is negotiable when it comes to money, so feel free to ask for a price."

Boss Cai was a little annoyed, "Can't you understand human speech?"

Xiaoman's voice became a little cold, "I respect you as an elder to be so polite, don't toast or eat fine wine, even if you want to live a mediocre life here, what about your son? You don't want to find him a better school , live a better life?"

Boss Cai said: "This is my business, don't worry about it."

Xiao Man smiled, "Uncle said this, it really made me sad, we are all a family, why should we be so alien? You can get a lot of money just by nodding your head, and you have a decent job, and even the mayor has to pay for it when you go out." Judging by your face, why stick to this dilapidated shop and live like a dog?"

"Lu Xiaoman!"

"Hey, what are you doing? I can sue you for injuring someone with a weapon...ah!"

……

Xiaoman opened the curtain and escaped in embarrassment. Boss Cai forced him out with a knife in one hand and a box in the other. He drove Xiaoman to the door before throwing the box out. land.

Two people jumped out of the car quickly, and hurriedly picked up the money back.

Xiaoman wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb and smiled wickedly, "Okay, you are ruthless. But let me tell you, I will not give up so easily. Take a good rest, and I will come back another day."

After finishing speaking, he got into the car, and the car slid away with its buttocks pouted.

Boss Cai was trembling with anger, and it took him a while to squeeze out four words, "A beast in clothes!"

Looking back, I saw Ah Jiu sitting there with a surprised face, his expression suddenly changed, all the anger just disappeared, and his eyes glowed with abnormal brilliance, and he asked tentatively: "Ah Jiu...do you like cooking? ?”
