Xiao Lu finally left. Numerous invitations from major film and television record companies in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and other major cities, and even thousands of pages of packaging plans, failed to tempt her.

A few words from the disaster area in Sichuan made her pick up her guitar and leave without looking back.

The letter read: We need money, and we also need your singing.

Faced with Xiaolu's choice, we didn't say much, as if it was normal.

On this day, a car was waiting for her outside. Xiaolu packed up and went out with a small bag and a guitar. We were waiting for her at the entrance of the supermarket. I took the lead and walked up to hug her.

raised his shoulders and asked: "Are you coming back?"

Xiao Lu timidly said: "Where will I go if I don't come back?"

I laughed.

Ah Po lifted Xiao Lu up to the sky like a doll, and cried sadly: "Oh, Xiao Lu, we will miss you!"

Xiao Lu giggled, Xiao Hui took Xiao Lu, put her head in his arms, and gave instructions like a big sister. Xiao Lu nodded frequently, and her eyes finally became moist.

Wang Cheng came behind Xiao Lu with his hands behind his back, hesitated for a long time before taking out a hand-made thread-bound notebook, and said sheepishly: "I know you like to use hand-made notebooks to write lyrics, and I don't have anything else to give to you, brother.

You made a book..."

Xiao Lu took the book, said "Ah" and covered her mouth in surprise. Wang Cheng suddenly said proudly: "Don't be too moved, this is nothing more than a trivial matter to me."

Only then did Xiao Lu regain her composure, and exclaimed the second half of her sentence: "It's so ugly!"

We laughed together.

When Wushuang walked up to Xiaolu, all of us stood aside consciously. Wushuang put Xiaolu in his arms and said softly: "Take care."

Xiao Lu lowered her head and said calmly: "Oh."

The two separated and looked at each other again. Xiaolu finally walked into the car and looked back longingly.

I looked at Xiaolu with a smile on my face, then quietly touched Wushuang and said, "Are you done with this?"

Wushuang murmured: "I want to kiss her so much and let her be my girlfriend."

Ah Po said: "Then why don't you do it?"

Wu Wu stared at Xiaolu as she got into the car, and said, "If she comes back, I will definitely tell her."

Xiaohui snorted and said, "It turns out that Wushuang also has low self-esteem. You feel that you are not good enough for her."

Wushuang was a little embarrassed and scratched the stones on the ground without saying anything.

Xiao Hui looked at Xiao Lu's retreating figure and murmured: "Xiao Lu is gone, what do you think?"

Ah Po said: "I think she will come back. She is not the kind of person who forgets her friends."

I said affectionately: "She may come back tomorrow, or she may never come back, but that doesn't matter, an angel is an angel, and I will remember her singing like everyone else."

Wang Cheng said deeply: "The most important thing is that we have fought side by side with her, and I will be proud of it for the rest of my life."

Xiaohui murmured: "What else?"

We looked at her and said, "It's your turn."

Xiao Hui said in frustration: "Don't you realize that once Xiao Lu leaves, we will have no cashier."

…

In front of me, there is a cup of freshly brewed scented tea costing two yuan and a half. The smoke is curling up. The "Reference News" that has been with me since I took office is still placed in front of me. I sit on the artificial leather

The chair with thumbtacks always looks like a monster...

Xiaolu has been away for a few days. She occasionally calls back to say hello to us, and our lives have returned to peace. The supermarket has not been recruiting people. Anyway, most of the people who come to buy things are neighbors. At worst, go and call me.

, sometimes Apo or Xiaohui will take over the class for a while.

I was in a daze in the office that day, and suddenly I heard Ah Po from the supermarket nearby shouting: "Boss, come on!"

I hurried over to take a look and saw Ah Po dancing excitedly to a foreigner. When he saw me coming, he hurriedly shouted: "Boss, our supermarket has now become international."

The foreigner was tall and fair-skinned. He was dressed neatly in a suit with a small round collar. There was a white handkerchief exposed from the left jacket pocket. His eyes were as blue as a lake, deep and clear, his teeth were very white, and his hair was white.

His hair was carefully coiffed, and although he looked a little too particular, he was also the most handsome foreigner I had ever seen.

I glared at Ah Po and said contemptuously: "I have never seen in the world that a foreigner can excite you like this -" I turned around and smiled at the foreigner and said, "Can I help you if you love black and oil?"

?”

The foreigner just smiled at me but didn't speak. Ah Po couldn't help but said: "Boss, do you speak English correctly?"

I was also unsure, so I had to change my sentence: "WHATWOULDYOULIKE what do you want?"

The foreigner still didn't say anything, but Po was already laughing. My self-esteem was hurt, so I could only continue: "Woteer (water)? Rich (food)?"

The foreigner looked at us with a smile, and I said without knowing it: "Ah Po, please call Xiaohui down quickly." Ah Po responded and hurriedly called.

During this period of time, I asked the foreigner again with the idea of ​​giving it a try: "What kind of work do you do?"

Apo muttered: "He doesn't look like a Japanese at all."

Just when we were at a loss, the foreigner suddenly said in an authentic Beijing accent: "Master, bring me a bag of Zhongnanhai."

Apo and I almost fell to the ground and said in unison: "Can you speak Chinese?"

The foreigner smiled and said: "I'm afraid I have stayed in China longer than you."

Ah Po flipped through the smoke on the counter: "How much do you want?"

Foreigner: "It's past three..."

The foreigner ordered a 1.3-point Zhongnanhai, took a puff, and then stretched out his hand and said to me: "Introduction, my name is Stricket D. Robespierre, from England."

I shook hands with him and said, "Hello, what's your asshole..."

The foreigner laughed and said: "I know my name is a bit difficult to pronounce for ordinary Chinese people. Fortunately, I still have a Chinese name."

Apo said: "What's it called?"

The foreigner blushed slightly and said awkwardly: "Wang Shuisheng."

After hearing him say this name, Ah Po and I were stunned at the same time, then laughed, and both said: "This name is indeed much easier to remember."

Wang Shuisheng sighed and said: "When I came to China by boat, I didn't know anything. An old Chinese boatman gave me this name. He said that this name is very auspicious. The Chinese believe that when you encounter water, things will happen. Life is endless.

.”

Ah Po lit a cigarette of his own and asked Wang Shuisheng: "How many years have you been in China?"

Wang Shuisheng thought for a while and said: "I first came to China when I was 12 years old. I am 112 years old this year. I have returned to England several times and stayed in China for at least eighty or ninety years."

Ah Po choked on the cigarette and coughed: "Brother, there is a limit to bragging, right?"

I took a look at Wang Shuisheng. His hair is thick and his skin is considered delicate among Asians. Even if Europeans are more precocious, judging by his appearance, he is only 30 years old at most this year.

I smiled and said, "If you are really 112 years old, I can only say that I am 6,000 years old."

Wang Shuisheng said solemnly: "I am really over 100 years old, but you don't have to think that there will be problems with us getting along. A 100-year-old is the same as a young man in his twenties or thirties in our blood clan."

A Po wondered: "What's the blood?"

Wang Shuisheng smiled and said: "The vampires are actually the descendants of vampire bats - seriously speaking, I am not a human being." At this point, Wang Shuisheng's eyes suddenly turned a deep blue, and he bared his teeth at us.

, two long blood-sucking fangs stuck out next to his front teeth, making him look eerily beautiful.

At this time, Ah Po couldn't help but be frightened and said: "Holy crap, it's a vampire!"

Wang Shuisheng closed his teeth, spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that our noble family has been misunderstood by the world. They despicably call us vampires. I didn't expect that even you are not exempt from this."

I said on guard: "Why did you come to China?" However, it seemed that Wang Shuisheng was not a threat at the moment. I was already prepared. I held the handle of the small hoe in my trouser pocket. I decided that if he dared to charge at us again

You're so stupid that you'll knock your teeth out...

Wang Shuisheng said sadly: "The reason why I came to China is because my family has been persecuted. Once those ignorant people know that we are a blood race, they will spare no effort to hunt us down. Until I was 12 years old, there was only one person in my family.

I am left alone. But what a pity, we have never harmed innocent people, and my family has actively participated in human activities since the Middle Ages. Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that we Robespierre

The glory of my family, my ancestors were once earls created by Queen Elizabeth, and according to hereditary terms, I should be a baron now, so - I am still an out-and-out nobleman and gentleman."

As he said this, Wang Shuisheng put one hand on his stomach and gave us an impeccable aristocratic greeting ceremony.

Ah Po threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out: "You didn't come to China with the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, did you?"

Wang Shuisheng: "..."

I said: "Then Sir Wang, is there anything we can do to help you? You have also seen us. We are just ordinary people. It is impossible to appeal to your country through diplomatic means to adopt the correct attitude towards facing vampires."

Wang Shuisheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Isn't that what you said? According to my observation, there are four very powerful monsters living here. If I guessed correctly, you and him are two of them."

I smiled and said, "How can you see it?"

"Aside from the demonic aura in you, there is also - who can be as calm as you two when meeting a vampire?"

I said directly: "What do you want?"

Wang Shuisheng said pitifully: "Anyway, we are barely of the same kind. I can't survive anymore. Do you have a reason to help me? You don't need to worry about anything else. I just want three meals a day and a place to live."

.”

Ah Po said: "But we are not in the same system."
