Chapter 1: Stealing for half a day(1/2)
What caught my eye was a pair of women's feet!
Against the backdrop of black leather high heels, the feet look even more fair in skin. In the faint afterglow of summer, you can even see the slender light blue blood vessels on it.
Lin Dong withdrew his gaze and continued to stop on the yellow old-line books in his hand.
The woman moved her feet two more steps in front of the stall, then squatted down sideways.
"Uncle Wang?"
The voice is pleasant, and the tone is a little uncertain and surprise.
Um?
Lin Dong closed the book and looked at it with his eyes narrowed.
A delicate and pretty face that Yichen and Yixi showed unbelievable joy in his eyes under the black-framed glasses.
"Do you buy books? Three dollars per book, ten dollars three copies, small business, refuse to bargain."
Lin Dong turned his gaze away from the woman, gently put the books in his hand into the pile of old books in the stall on the ground, and said lazyly.
Then I picked up another book from the pile of books and put it in my hand to look it out.
The woman frowned slightly, and used her hands to hold the bangs scattered on her cheeks behind her ears, and her long hair shawl dyed a layer of golden color under the setting sun.
Looking at the face in front of me, which was exactly as elegant and thin as in my memory, and the eyes that were very inconsistent with my age.
"Are you Wang Yuan, who worked as a security guard at Chengbei Middle School in Lin County before? Do you don't know me anymore?"
He raised the volume slightly again: "I am Qin Lu from Class 3."
Lin Dong paused slightly when he flipped the pages of the book, and then as usual.
"Sorry, I haven't been to Lin County, you recognized the wrong person."
"Yes," Qin Lu murmured at the young face who was obviously less than thirty years old in front of him: "It's been more than ten years, and Uncle Wang has to be almost forty years old."
"Do you want to pick some books?"
Lin Dong raised his head and looked at Qin Lu calmly.
"No, sorry, I'm disturbed by the wrong person." Under the black glasses, the thin and dense eyelashes blinked, and Qin Lu's face couldn't help but feel disappointed.
It must be because he recognized the wrong person, but he was so similar! Even Uncle Wang’s slightly strange mandarin emphasis was exactly the same as the person in front of him.
"A person who has great kindness to me looks exactly like you. I have always wanted to repay him, but I can't find anyone else......."
"Sorry, I'm not interested in your business. If possible, please don't block my business."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Qin Lu's fair face turned red and a little cramped.
After thinking about it, I took out a white paper business card from my bag and handed it over.
"If you meet someone who looks very much like you in the future, can you please contact me? I've been looking for him for many years."
Lin Dong looked at the business card handed over by Qin Lu in both hands, hesitated for a while, but still took it.
"Okay, if you encounter it, I will tell you."
"Thanks!"
Qin Lu smiled at Lin Dong, stood up, and walked forward, his high heels stepped on the concrete floor and made a crisp sound, disappearing into the crowd.
Lin Dong looked at the back that was leaving, smiled helplessly, and then picked up the business card.
"Qin Lu, Kailu Law Firm."
Well, the yellow-haired girl who was like bean sprouts back then finally grew up, and Lin Dong felt a little relieved and a little regretful.
After traveling to this world for a thousand years, we have seen the dynasties change, wars are raging, tall buildings are rising, and seas are turning into mulberry fields.
Time flies.
But the old self, every time I have to change my place and identity, I naturally don’t want different identities to have intersections with each other.
I was in a good mood today, so I stopped setting up a stall.
Lin Dong packed up the stall, carried his bag, picked up the small stool, walked back, humming softly as he walked.
Half a day of stolen life,
Sit and watch the sea turn into mulberry fields.
Things in the world are impermanent and empty,
The immortal old monster has been for thousands of years.
The old man with shadows falling under the sunset.
......
Lin Dong lived not far from the stall. At this time, the sunset was setting, and a red sun was hanging in the sky, dyeing the sunset for a long time.
The high temperature during the day gradually faded and the small town began to become active.
There are some early night snack stalls on both sides of the street. The spicy fragrance drifts in the air with the light blue flames rising from the stove.
Three or two naked men stood on the plastic stool with their beer belly, peeled a garlic crayfish, and drank it all in one sip of ice beer.
"Gu...ha..."
That was so refreshing.
The men were chatting and bragging while eating.
Occasionally, if you look at the girl wearing cool clothes on the road, you will be amazed and then compare them.
It was not until the girl could not bear the naked gaze and threw a few hygiene balls that the men took back their gaze and laughed in a lewd manner.
......
After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Dong returned home.
A two-story western-style building with a separate courtyard is surrounded by red brick walls to create a small yard. The open space of the yard is divided into several vegetable gardens of different sizes, and the vegetable gardens are already planted with green vegetables.
A green peach tree two-tall tall stretched in the corner, and the branches were covered with furry green peaches.
After passing through the vegetable garden, he walked to the second floor in a few steps, put down his bag, sat on the sofa for a while, Lin Dong got up and went to the bathroom, washed his hands carefully.
Then I went to the study room. There were antique wooden bookshelves filled with books on three sides. On the one side of the study was a large window, and a desk was placed in front of the window.
The sunset shone in through the glass window, leaving a mottled ground on the light red wooden floor.
Lin Dong stood at the table, grinded a piece of rosin ink in the Duan inkstone, spread out a piece of plain white rice paper, pressed it with paperweight, and then held the wolf hair on the pen holder, with the brush strokes like a dragon, and the brush strokes fell like clouds and smoke:
"There is no one before, and no one comes afterwards. I miss the vastness of the world, and I am sad and cry out."
After finishing writing, Lin Dong stopped writing and stood up and sighed.
"The road of life is like a long dream, and the wind and frost on the road..."
But the ringtone of the cell phone rang, and Lin Dong took it out and saw that it was fat.
Before I could get close to my ears, I heard the fat man's deep voice:
"Brother Dong, old place, come quickly, everything is ready, I only owe you Brother Dong."
This fat man...
Lindong Pass laughed.
"So early to get off work today?"
"Off season, off-season, Brother Dong, hurry up, come quickly, do you need me to drive my BMW to pick you up?"
"That's fine, then drive your "BMW" and pick me up..."
Lin Dong hung up the phone and shook his head with a smile.
The fat man's name is Yan Liwei, a native of Guobei County. He is a fat man of 200 pounds. He is tall and strong. He can eat a large table with barbecue and drink a few beer. He is one of the few close friends Lin Donglai has made in the city in five years.
Fatty Yan also responded to the old saying that "Heartless" is a warm and honest person who doesn't care about things. He often boasts about it after drinking, saying that his ancestors once produced an amazing sword immortal...
After work, the fat man called Lin Dong to go online.
In the long life, Lin Dong sometimes immerses himself in virtual games and spends boring times that seem to be a long time.
After sitting for a while, a sound of horns came from outside the courtyard wall.
Lin Dong got up, walked downstairs, crossed the vegetable bed, and came outside the yard.
The fat man was riding on a small blue electric donkey with the words "Quick Express" printed on it. The black tires seemed to be unable to bear the fat man's weight and flattened.
Seeing Lin Dong come out, the fat man patted the back seat of the little electric donkey and said with a smile:
"Brother Dong, get on my BMW and I'll take you for a ride."
Well, it's a little swelling!
Lin Dong walked over and asked, "Fatty, how was the blind date yesterday?"
"well!"
