street people

At noon in early August, the sun was scorching hot, and the steaming heat wave sapped people's will. Cicada's tireless screams made people's brains ache.

The inside of a small grocery store in Lanying Lane is a leisurely scene. The air outlet of the air conditioner is blowing loudly towards the counter. The small storefront with high floors and low floors is filled with cold wind, which is cool and pleasant, even a bit chilly. of.

At the counter, Sun Yanshi was half lying and half leaning on the boss chair, with his legs resting on the footstool, and his right foot was shaking rhythmically.With a cigarette in his mouth and a mobile phone in his hands, he is playing match 368 games.In this broken game, after playing level [-] for two days, I still haven't passed it. From the impetuousness at the beginning to the old monk's meditation now, Sun Yanshi has been tortured by this level and lost his temper.

Bored, he quit the game, inserted his fingers into his hair, and brushed the hair that had grown so long that it covered his eyes.The messy hair that hasn't been trimmed for two months is already very long, and the back of the head can even be tied into a ponytail, and a layer of blue stubble has appeared on the chin after a few days of cleaning.

Fortunately, Sun Yanshi's face and facial features are good-looking, but it gives people a slovenly, lazy and ruffian air.

Today's outdoor temperature can reach up to 38 degrees, and no one will come to buy things at this time.

Sun Yanshi got up and was about to close the store door and go upstairs to take a nap when the transparent soft curtain was lifted, and a man in a black T-shirt walked in with a wave of heat, and walked straight to the beverage refrigerator.

Sun Yanshi narrowed his eyes and glanced at the tall and straight figure of the other party, then sat down lazily, resting his elbows on the counter, and played with his mobile phone again with his back bent.

Suddenly, something soft and warm climbed onto his knees!

Sun Yanshi was startled, he tapped his feet on the ground reflexively, stepped back half a step with his waist against the back of the chair, and then looked down in horror, only to see a small fleshy hand covering him. on the knee.

He was wearing a pair of beach shorts today, his soft little hand was tender and white, his index finger was restlessly picking at the skin on his knee, it was itchy and numb.

Sun Yanshi followed the little hand and saw a four or five-year-old girl pursing her lips and looking at him with big watery eyes. She didn't know how she ran into the counter without making a sound.

The little girl wore two sky-high hairpins, and the fluffy hair on her forehead was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead. Her originally fair and tender cheeks were blushed, and her two big black eyes were like black grapes. , without a hint of timidity on her face, she continued to pick at Sun Yanshi's knee with her white and tender fingers that looked like lotus root belts.

Facing such a beautiful and cute little girl, even Sun Yanshi, who doesn't like children very much, couldn't help showing a gentle smile. He bent down and looked at the little girl, and asked her, "Why did you come to my counter?" ?”

The little girl stared blankly at Sun Yanshi with her big eyes open, and suddenly opened her mouth and called softly, "Daddy."

A 30-year-old unmarried man, Sun Yanshi, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly chuckled: "Little friend, are you trying to cheat sugar from me?" He touched one of the most expensive sugar bowls on the counter. The lollipop was handed to the little girl.

The little girl didn't take the candy, but still looked straight at Sun Yanshi, as if she could see the flowers on his face.

Sun Yanshi was curious, shook the candy in his hand and asked, "No? Do you want ice cream?"

The little girl seemed to have never heard of it, and called out softly: "Dad..."

I don't know if it's the child's slurred speech or what, but Sun Yanshi always felt that the child's pronunciation was a bit strange, and was about to tease a few more words, when a voice rang in his ears.

"Yueyue, come out quickly."

The voice is lazy and low, with a husky texture of metallic particles.

Sun Yanshi raised his head, and the person who was speaking was the man in the black T-shirt who had just entered the store. He was tall and straight, with muscular arms, but he looked like a young boy.

The boy was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a wheat-colored complexion, and his appearance was upright and handsome, very outstanding.The most striking thing is that there is a two-centimeter-long scar on the cheekbone on the right cheek of the young man. It looks like an old wound, and its color is lighter than other parts. It is thin and smooth, and the scar should not be serious.This scar is not hideous, but it inexplicably adds a trace of gangster to the young man who has not yet faded all his childishness.

Sun Yanzhi was slightly surprised, just now he only glanced at the back, and thought it was a decoration worker working nearby, but he didn't expect it to be a young child.

The young man was uncomfortable with Sun Yanshi's staring gaze. He smiled apologetically and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but she's my younger sister. She's a bit naughty."

The young man stood in front of the counter, blocking all the light from the door, while Sun Yanshi sat at the counter and was shrouded in the shadow of the other party, feeling a faint sense of oppression.

"Ah, that's right." Sun Yanshi came back to his senses, it turned out that the little girl came in with the boy, because he was too small so he didn't see it.

"Langyue, come out." The boy called out to the little girl again, and put a bottle of mineral water, a bottle of banana milk and ten yuan on the counter.

Sun Yanshi put away the money and found three coins for the boy.

The teenager slipped the coin into his jeans pocket and whispered "thank you".

The little girl named Langyue was unmoved, still staring at Sun Yanshi like a beautiful doll.

Sun Yanzhi laughed, and handed her the lollipop again: "For you, go home with brother."

Langyue looked at the boy, but didn't speak.

The young man raised his hand, palm facing himself, beckoning to Langyue, signaling her to come out quickly.

Langyue looked at the boy, then at Sun Yanshi, and finally walked out of the counter reluctantly.

The boy brought the milk to Lang Yue, took her hand and walked out.

Langyue kept her head tilted back, looking at Sun Yanshi.Just when the young man lifted the curtain, she suddenly broke free from his hand, ran to the counter in a few steps, raised her head on tiptoe, pointed at Sun Yanshi, and shouted loudly: "Father!"

Sun Yanshi kept watching the two brothers and sisters, and seeing the little girl running back to call him father, he was completely confused. Could it be that the child has some brain problems?Otherwise, why are you so persistent in calling him Dad?

"What are you calling nonsense?" The young man smiled apologetically, and reproached Lang Yue in a low voice, but obviously it was just for Sun Yanshi to see.He bent down again and gestured to Langyue, pointing to the door.

Sun Yanshi silently observed every move of the two brothers and sisters. He was sure that the little girl might not only have a brain problem, but also a hearing problem.

Langyue shook her head at the young man, then suddenly pointed at Sun Yanshi, and then reached out to pull the chain around her neck.

Sun Yanshi folded his arms and looked at the brothers and sisters calmly. The little girl took the chain off her neck and handed it to the boy.

The boy took off Langyue's chain, frowned and looked at it, then looked up at Sun Yanshi. After looking back and forth a few times, he suddenly lay down on the counter and stretched out his hands to Sun Yanshi.

Sun Yanshi backed away reflexively, but the space inside the counter was limited, and after he took a step back, his back was against the cigarette cabinet and there was no way out.

The young man was tall, with long arms, and with an excited expression, he stretched out his hands to brush away Sun Yanzhi's messy hair, and stared at him intently.

Sun Yanshi, who was dazed for a while, finally came back to his senses. He slapped the young man's hand away, and asked bluntly, "What are you two kiddos pretending to be doing?"

The young man held the chain in front of Sun Yanshi, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this you?"

Sun Yanshi squinted his eyes and saw silver chains in the young man's hand, and a rustic heart-shaped pendant hung on it. This chain was clean and silver, and looked very cherished by the owner.But that's not the point, what's important is that the heart-shaped pendant turned out to be a flip photo folder, and the small photo inside it was obviously him.

This photo was cut from a one-inch bareheaded photo of him in high school, because he was still wearing his high school uniform in the photo.

"It's me, why do you have my photo?" Sun Yanshi grabbed the silver chain without denying it.In fact, it is useless to deny it. There is a small mole on the right side of the tip of his nose. This alone can be used to determine that the photo is him. The siblings probably also recognized him by this.

The young man changed his calmness just now, and glared angrily: "Of course we have, you scum!"

"Human scum?" Sun Yan was puzzled.

Pointing at Langyue, the boy said solemnly, "Doesn't she look familiar to you?"

Sun Yanshi became more and more confused: "I don't think so..."

The young man sneered: "It's normal, a scum like you, I'm afraid you have long forgotten about throwing a daughter away!"

Scum?daughter?

"Ah?" Sun Yanshi was completely confused, "What daughter?"

The boy pointed to Langyue: "She is the daughter you abandoned back then."

Sun Yanshi clenched the pendant in his hand, looked at the boy and then at Langyue. After looking back and forth several times, he suddenly realized that he might have encountered a new type of fraud.

The National Anti-Fraud Center app sincerely does not deceive him, fraud is around!

Although Sun Yan doesn't know why the brothers and sisters have photos of him in high school, but he can't have a daughter for no reason. If this is a story made up by the brothers and sisters to blackmail him, then it can be explained as brothers and sisters The two behaved strangely.

These two brothers and sisters are not only young, but also look quite well-behaved, and they are also very beautiful, so they hardly make people feel defensive.If they make this kind of story targeting older men, maybe if someone does something bad, they can really make them lose their money.It doesn't matter if things come to light, they are young, and most of them are afraid of trouble, so they just drive them away.Even if someone is really serious, if they are sent to the police station, at most they will be released after being educated, which is really a worthless transaction.

The more Sun Yanzhi thought about it, the more he felt that his conjecture was seamless. He curled his lips and looked at the brothers and sisters.

The clothes on both of them were clean, but very cheap, and the collar of the boy's T-shirt was deformed and baggy.He sighed, took a crumpled red note from the drawer and handed it to the young man, and said impatiently: "Take it and buy something to eat, don't use this trick to deceive people again."

"You said we were lying?" The young man was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his hair exploded. He opened his eyes and roared, "You scumbag, do you want to deny your account by abandoning your wife and son?"

Sun Yanshi was really puzzled by Monk Zhanger now. He stared at the boy with a complicated expression for a while, then frowned and asked, "Then... are you my son?"
