The proprietress of the convenience store said angrily to the owner,
The shopkeeper smiled again and flattered him, but didn't respond. He waited for his wife to finish speaking, and then continued,
"...Then this time, should I return the 1000 yuan to Lao Chen..."
"... Opening your mouth is a thousand dollars. How can you get so much money... This is only 500 yuan. Do you want to love..."
Some voices in the convenience store came out through the convenience store door,
As the gusts brushed across the street, the growing wind spread far away.
Standing by the side of the street, listening to the sounds in my ears,
Lian Ge turned his gaze a little further and looked at the couple.
The middle-aged man supported the woman, and the woman supported a simple crutch, barely moving a little bit,
The couple walked back to the wheelchair on the street,
The middle-aged man supported the woman against the wheelchair, and let the woman sit back in the wheelchair again.
The simple crutches were put away again, leaning against the armrest of the wheelchair.
Standing behind the wheelchair, the middle-aged man was holding the bottle of water in one hand, pinching bread, and the umbrella borrowed from the convenience store in the other.
Looking up, the middle-aged man lowered his head a little more, handed the bottle of water and the bread to the woman,
"...You didn't eat breakfast, and you didn't eat anything at noon. Eat some bread and pad your stomach."
The middle-aged man said out loud,
"...you can eat some too."
Squeezing a smile at the middle-aged man, the woman stretched out her hand and untied the bag of bread,
The middle-aged man was just silent, shaking his head,
"...This bastard, I don't know where he went...Where did he go..."
The middle-aged man rubbed his face again with his free hand, as if trying to refresh himself,
It's just that he still couldn't hide his fatigue, his eyes were bloodshot,
After repeating a few words, the middle-aged man pushed the wheelchair and walked along the street.
The woman turned around and sat in the wheelchair,
The unpacked bread was placed on the lap, and the leg was hanging weakly on the footrest of the wheelchair.
Turning his gaze, he looked back and forth on both sides of the street.
……
Standing by the side of the street, Lian Ge watched the middle-aged man push the woman in the wheelchair and walked past him.
Did not step forward, did not make a sound, just watched quietly.
The middle-aged man and the woman in the wheelchair seemed to be unaware of Lian Ge, walking past Lian Ge, walking away from behind Lian Ge,
Pausing his eyes on the woman in the wheelchair,
Lian Ge turned around again, looked forward along the street in front of him,
On the street, in the gusts of wind, the water vapor is getting heavier, and the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the street are shaking back and forth in the wind,
The sky is already covered with dark clouds, and the sky on the street is getting darker and darker.
Some pedestrians passing by, the pace gradually became a little hurried.
"...Excuse me, have you ever seen the child in the photo..."
"...When I ran out, I was wearing shorts, short sleeves, and no shoes... Maybe I was carrying a blue schoolbag with a cartoon pattern on my back..."
"……Excuse me……"
Behind him, he could still hear some voices brought by the breeze,
The voice of the voice faded away.
Standing by the street, facing the gusts of wind,
Lian Ge looked forward along the street,
Not far from the front of the street, he paused for a long time at the entrance of a small alley next to the street.
In that alley, there was not much light coming out. Under the dark sky that was about to rain,
The position at the entrance of the alley was getting darker and darker.
Look again, pause for a moment,
Lian Ge moved his foot away again, and walked towards the entrance of the alley not far away.
Some shops along the way turned on their lights one after another under the dimming sky.
But the alleyway was still dark.
Compared with the lights on the street next to it, it looked even darker.
At the entrance of this alley, Lian Ge stopped on the side of the street,
Follow the entrance of this alley and look into that alley.
To say it is an alley, it is better to say that the shops and houses on both sides are not close together, leaving a gap, a small passage.
At the end of the aisle, there is the wall of an unknown family.
This is a dead end.
Chapter 1003 The Boy Hiding in the Alley
The lights from the shops facing the street failed to reflect into the cramped aisles and alleys,
Under the cover of the walls of the houses on both sides of the alley and some eaves on the walls,
Under the stormy sky,
It was getting darker in this alley.
"Whoosh..."
There were bursts of water vapor and a bit of coolness, and the increasing wind passed through the entrance of the alley and howled into the alley.
In the dark alley, on the ground, piled up, fell down, accumulated some sundries not needed by nearby residents, accumulated garbage over time,
The tattered and faded clothes stained with mud were trampled into the mud on the ground, some faded plastic bags,
The broken ones are next to the plastic basins that have been overturned by the corner of the wall with some moss growing, and there are some mildewed domestic garbage.
All kinds of sundries are disturbed by the whistling wind,
Half of the plastic bag is still embedded in the mud on the ground, and the other half exposed to the mud is trembling by the wind, making a rattling noise.
The empty plastic bottle, with mud and sand at the bottom of the bottle, was blown forward by the wind, rolled over the ground, made some collision sounds, and stopped in front of the wall at the end of the alley.
……
Standing on the side of this street, at the entrance of an alley.
Lian Ge looked forward along the alley, and then turned his eyes to look at the two sides of the alley.
In the alley, the section near the entrance of the alley is more cramped, barely able to accommodate two people walking shoulder to shoulder.
Go in further, get closer to the inside,
It seems to be the change of the walls behind the houses on both sides of the alley.
Make the alley a little wider to the side,
Also at the position where the alley widens, there are more corners that can block the sight of passers-by outside the alley.
Looking at the corner of the wall on one side of the alley,
Lian Ge stood at the entrance of the alley and paused for another look.
……
"sough……"
The branches and leaves of the trees on the street were shaken by the wind blowing across the street, and there were some rustling sounds of the branches and leaves colliding,
"...Hurry up, come out without an umbrella, don't get drowned in a while..."
The footsteps of pedestrians on the road became more hurried,
It seems to be driven by the wind, or walk quickly through the street, or walk for a while and then run for a while, going everywhere,
It seems that the wind before the storm clears the streets, and there are fewer pedestrians on the streets.
"...it's raining! Hurry up..."
"Pa-ta... da-da..."
The shouts of a few passers-by were heard on the street,
Bean-sized raindrops slapped on the branches and leaves of trees along the street, on the roofs of shops facing the street, and on the street.
Pedestrians walking faster, or running, or looking for shelter from the rain.
"Boom..."
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of thunder among the dark clouds already densely covering the top of the head,
The raindrops suddenly became faster and fell densely, wetting the ground, the roofs of people's shops, and washing the branches and leaves of trees along the street.
In an instant, it rained cats and dogs.
……
Standing beside this street, this narrow alley,
The dense rain seemed to have bypassed Lian Ge and fell on Lian Ge.
Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge glanced at the street, and then his eyes fell on the corner of the alley in the alley.
There were no pedestrians to be seen on the street. The pedestrians who passed by either ran away in the rain, or hid under the eaves of the shop to avoid the rain.
in the alley,
The torrential rain was pouring down, and the dense and rapid raindrops fell into the alley with the howling wind.
Beating some sundries piled up on the ground in the alley, making some chaotic noises,
Wet the walls on both sides of the alley and the ground in the alley.
"Shusha... slap..."
At this moment, the alley widened, and at the corner,
Some sundries piled up in front of the corner seemed to be touched by something and made a sound, which was covered by the patter of the pouring rain.
Immediately afterwards, a somewhat short figure poked his head out from behind the corner of the wall,
It is a little boy of seven or eight years old.
Wearing short sleeves on the upper body, sitting behind the corner, turned around,
Be careful, poke your head out from the corner of the wall little by little, revealing your eyes,
Rolling his eyes, he looked out of the alley in the rain.
The rain fell on his head and slid down his brows to his eyes, making him blink from time to time.
Be careful out of the alley, and after looking around repeatedly,
The little boy retracted his head again, and retracted his body behind the corner.
……
Looking at the little boy who poked his head out from behind the corner of the alley to look at it and then retracted again,
Pausing his eyes at the corners here and there, Lian Ge moved his feet away and walked into the alley.
The place where it was standing was quickly re-wetted by the dense rain.
