solo traveler

At 6:30, in the early morning of City C, the foggy streets were sparsely populated.

At 7:30, there was a bit of traffic on the street, and the breakfast shop downstairs had already started frying the second pot of fried dough sticks.

At 8:30, on the criss-cross overpass, all the vehicles have gathered, each doing their best to form a colorful and long rainbow.

The cars purchased from the convenience store opposite drove into the alley vigorously, disturbing the dreams of the sleeping people in the residential buildings on both sides. The "old men" in the buildings started their day with cursing.

The hustle and bustle of these cities in the early morning will definitely not wake Xu Yang up.In the dark room, the color of the curtains was dimmed by the gradually brightening light. A ray of light penetrated through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the metal case of the laptop, which happened to be reflected on the face of the person lying on the sofa.

The man was sleeping soundly, and in the shadow cast by his eyelashes, he could vaguely see a circle of black and blue.

So, after being woken up by the mobile phone playing "All Things Die" with drums and gongs beating, Xu Yang opened his eyes and was blinded by the dazzling light on the metal shell.By the way, he slammed down the noisy mobile phone with a paw, and smashed it on the floor tiles with a bang, and there was another zigzag crack on the screen in an instant.

After being woken up, Xu Yang picked up his phone and glanced at the time, he was stunned for a moment.

Then the memory gradually came back, remembering staying up late last night, staying up, the upper and lower eyelids began to be inseparable like passionate lovers.

So he was fulfilled after meeting once, and when he was separated again, Xu Yang saw today's dazzling sunrise.

I slept unexpectedly last night and forgot to change the alarm clock for today.Say good to buy today.

Doomed to be half an hour late, Xu Yang got up calmly, washed himself, tidied his clothes, went downstairs to buy two deep-fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk, gnawed and wobbled to his small kitchen around the corner. In the store, I also dropped in to say hello to Uncle Zhang, who was pouring vegetable washing water at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant opposite.Lively extended half an hour to one and a half hours.

At this moment, he walked into the store in a calm manner, without looking at the young man sitting on the table, and was about to walk in, but was stopped by the young man.

"Boss, you're here. If you don't come again, I really think we should close down." The young man raised his head from the computer.A face of bitterness and hatred is revealed, and under the [-]-degree lens is a pair of miserable eyes that have lost their vitality, and they are looking at the visitor sadly at this moment.

This young man came here a year and a half ago, and his name is Jiang Sixue.He said he wanted to learn, but he didn't love learning much. After graduating from a third-rate university, he couldn't find a job and didn't want to go back to his hometown in the countryside, so he came to the small streets and alleys of this poor county to make a living.It happened that Xu Yang wanted to recruit a helper to help him take care of the business, ensure the daily operating hours of the broken shop, and create the possibility of more wealth.So the two hit it off immediately, Jiang Sixue was moved by the guaranteed salary of 2000 yuan per month, and Xu Yang was delighted that this young man had just arrived.

Xu Yang didn't stop walking, and casually said: "What kind of door is closed? Isn't this business booming?"

Jiang Sixue: "Boss, you have received a lot of bad reviews on the online store, and there are people who report fake products. I really think our days of cheating and abducting are over."

Xu Yang paused, turned his head and wondered: "Is there anyone reporting on our kind of business? Don't those things come from believers?" Is there really someone with a sick mind who believes that lucky charms, koi and other things can be blessed Good luck, smooth sailing, all the best?

Xu Yangzhen didn't expect to care about whether this talisman or mantra is useful, whether it is true or not, there are honest and upright people.

However, there are still such levers.

Jiang Sixue clicked on a certain treasure page, and opened the comment section under the online store, so Xu Yang saw all the good reviews, mixed with some not-so-beautiful voices.

User ***: What kind of tattered lucky bag is this?I took it with me after it arrived, the color has not faded after using it, it stained my light-colored coat red, rubbish, bad review! ! !

User****: I bought it after seeing a lot of good reviews, but my boyfriend said that this string of red coral chains looks like plastic. Black hearted!

……

There are a few similar bad reviews below, Xu Yang's mouth twitched when he saw it, who has nothing to do all day and puts the lucky bag in his pocket, let it fade away, which straight male cancer boyfriend would break up because his girlfriend's chains look like plastic ?Obviously an excuse.Furthermore, a string of nine yuan nine does not include postage, and you still expect to buy real coral?

Xu Yang came to the conclusion: this was intentional splashing of dirty water.

But after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had offended anyone, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Sixue, you just need to find time to deal with these things. I don't know who was too busy to find fault."

Jiang Sixue responded, then lowered his head and sank into the game world on the phone.His [-]-degree high-power lens did not bring any grievances. It was not caused by studying, but caused by indulging in a rich spiritual world for a day.

Xu Yang's regular route was cut off, so he simply stood in the middle of the store, made a phone call, and made an appointment to pick up the goods.He opened a deceitful small shop on this street, which is said to be remote but not remote, or bustling but not prosperous. He strongly advocated buying the cheapest goods, selling them at the most reasonable prices, and charging the highest profits.Buy a batch of small items at wholesale prices, such as lucky bags, glass beads, amulets, and some bamboo sticks for fortune-telling cards, with personal teaching. I don't believe it.

For this reason, Xu Yang also gave Jiang Sixue a copy of "Book of Changes" and a pirated Buddhist scripture that he did not know where to find, which made the young man open and shut for a while, saying "everything is illusory", "great sorrow without tears, great enlightenment without words, and laughter." Silent." The whole person exudes the light of Buddha nature, and even lost several hairs.When Jiang Sixue first came to apply for the job, he was hesitant. On the one hand, he felt that the store was unreliable, on the other hand, he felt that all aspects were worrying, but the salary was good. In the end, he was lured in by the boss, so he went with the situation and cherished it. , Going to close down in this Buddha shop.However, he underestimated the level of education and professionalism required for a good shift in this cold shop. Whenever it was his turn to be on duty, the daily sales fell into a slump. When the boss was on duty, it was like a lucky cat visiting the shop. , so that the shop flourishes.

He was puzzled at the beginning why the squid was not fired for a long time, was it kept for the Chinese New Year?However, the boss doesn't seem to care about this cliff-like sales difference, and thinks it's better than nothing, and opening a store is better than closing it, which made Jiang Sixue completely Buddhist, so he doesn't care whether the income he brings to the broken store is higher than the salary he gets. .

At this time, "Ding Dong", the cat doll hanging at the door called out, "Welcome."

Jiang Sixue glanced up and saw that it was a little girl with a ponytail, probably in [-], a student from the No. [-] Middle School next door who came here to hang out.So he yelled: "Whatever little sister needs, just take a look." Then he lowered his head and re-entered his unfinished game.

The little girl was startled by the sound coming from under the empty front desk, and after taking a few steps closer, she saw a hairy head looking intently at the phone, with colorful lights shining on her face.

So she boldly walked into the somewhat dark and mysterious shop.This is an atmosphere created deliberately by Xu Yang, intending to attract customers' interest in exploring.

The little girl lingered by the shelf, with big curious eyes, looking at the crystal clear glass balls and at the piles of fortune-telling cards.But she didn't seem to find what she wanted, so she was about to turn around and find another shelf.

Then, I looked up and saw a man.

Wearing an ordinary beige windbreaker, and an ordinary brown and blue sweater, the most common street style, even a bit outdated, but this person has good eyebrows and eyes. The one that is comfortable and friendly, and it is pleasing to the eye no matter how the five senses are put together.

Xu Yang just came over to pick up the goods after lunch, when he saw Jiang Sixue playing with his mobile phone, ignoring the incompetent behavior of the little girl in the shop, then disconnected his internet and walked over by himself.

When the little girl was still in a daze, Xu Yang said: "What do you want to pick, little girl? Do you need help?"

She immediately came back to her senses, and hesitated for a while, not knowing how to describe it.

"Are you a student who goes to school nearby? Buy a gift for your classmates and teachers or use it yourself?"

"Ah, just a lucky bag...the kind of lucky bag with blessings written on it, for classmates." The little girl finally came to her senses.

By the way, I sigh that this uncle's voice is so gentle, it makes people feel that there is a breeze blowing red leaves across the cheeks in this late autumn.

Xu Yang led her to a shelf, and in a basket on the shelf were all kinds of lucky bags.
