Red Sea Town

When Lu Li woke up, it was already dawn.It was still raining outside, gray and windy.

He slept on the bed of Qi Ji and Xuan Xuan.

It's already past nine in the morning.

Sitting up, the memory and pain of last night came back.

Lu Li was woken up by the noise downstairs.

It was Uncle Guang and Ma Qin who were arguing.

"Why do you women have so many things, how big is the trouble, you still tell Xiao Shui, Xiao Shui told me Xiao Kai, now that he is well, Xiao Kai must come back to see me. My son is looking for a job now, and he has to prepare for the bar exam. You just Can't you save me and my son some snacks?" Uncle Guang complained angrily.

Qin's mother also lost the crying voice of fear last night, and she was more angry than Uncle Guang: "What are you doing, can I tell my precious daughter that I can't do it? Is it against the law? I watched TV yesterday and said that you men can't suffocate to death Said, so I died early, and I have to speak out if I have something on my mind! Don't worry about me! The glass is crooked, did you see it, it's crooked!"

"Qin Chengmei, don't be heartless, okay, I don't have to go to sea today, I don't have to rest early to repair the glass for you, and I'm chatting endlessly. Anyway, let me tell you, my son didn't pass the exam Well, it’s your fault that you didn’t find a good job!”

"It's none of my business, your son isn't as good as my daughter, you just don't want to admit it! My daughter hasn't graduated yet, so she signed the name, what's the name, er... By the way, Li's Group, the top 500 Humph!" Mother Qin was proud.

Uncle Guang's mouth was visibly sour: "My little Kai, it's been a long time coming, and when the time comes, go to a powerful firm and scare you to death!"

……

Lu Li lay on the bed and listened, and laughed unconsciously.

Last night, Uncle Guang was obviously worried that Mother Qin was so worried that she would die, and Mother Qin later threw herself on Uncle Guang and cried.Obviously the relationship is very good.Probably Uncle Guang really is, there are so many words I can't say...

The noise from downstairs was still in my ears.

Lu Li smelled the aroma of food in the house.

Found breakfast and a piece of paper on Xuanxuan's desk.

The paper was torn from Xuanxuan's homework book, and on it were Qi Ji's ugly characters.

"After getting up, eat breakfast, wipe off the medicinal wine again, and go downstairs to apologize to Uncle Qin Maguang. For lunch, go to the food stall to see what you can make yourself. I will come back late at night, so don't tell Xuanxuan what happened yesterday. thing.

I've calculated the repayment of the money. It's 16 a month, and it can be paid off in a little over sixteen months. I'll lend you the money first every month.You sign here: I, Lu Li, owe Qi Ji [-] RMB.After the signing is over, I will do my best to wait until the money is paid off.Qi Ji. "

Lu Li looked at the crooked and many misspelled characters, as well as lumps of characters that were drawn in black.

Lu Li felt that there was a layer of mist in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and his nose was sore and uncomfortable.

In the wastebasket next to the small desk were two balls of freshly discarded paper.There are also pictures on it that look like Qi Ji's notes.

Lu Li lowered his head and picked up the ball of paper. On it were Qi Ji's notes on monthly settlement and interest.The two papers are calculated twice, the first time is 8000 a month, and the second time is 10000 a month.The result could be calculated with a simple equation, but the man clumsily filled two sheets of paper.

There is also a bunch of messy numbers added together at the back.Lu Li knew that Qi Ji was counting his monthly income.

Lu Li couldn't bear to watch it again.

He had an urge to run away immediately.

In this world, except for his father, there is probably no one who treats him so well.

He always showed up when he needed him the most, and helped him think of everything.

……

Lu Li felt that he couldn't bear it, just like his father was kind to him when he was young, and he became more and more afraid as he grew up.Because he didn't know what he could do for his dad who loved him so much.

The same is true for Qi Ji.He didn't know what to do for him and Xuanxuan.

Lu Li only knew that he couldn't survive without Qi Ji now...

Lu Li wrote his name on the piece of paper.Fold the paper and put it in the drawer where Qi Ji enlarged the gear list.On it was the watch.

……

The glass in the grocery store has been repaired.Qin's mother stood at the door, eating melon seeds and muttering to the proprietress of the beauty shop.

Seeing Lu Li approaching, the proprietress of the beauty shop went back to the shop.

Mother Qin turned around and was about to leave.

Lu Li chased after him: "Mother Qin..."

"Bang -" a sound.Qin Ma closed the door inside the grocery store and entered the house.Lu Li stood outside the grocery store, waiting awkwardly for a long time.

Someone came to buy cigarettes, Mother Qin came out to collect the money, saw Lu Li standing at the door holding an umbrella, pretended not to see that person.Sell ​​good things and go back to the house. "Boom—" the door was closed with an old ring.

That day, Lu Li felt like he had been standing in front of the grocery store all afternoon.It seemed that everyone in the town knew what happened last night, and everyone looked at him strangely.

The rain stopped in the evening, and Uncle Guang and Mr. Hong came to the food stall.

When Old Man Hong saw Lu Li, he just lowered his head and shook his head. Uncle Guang thought he was transparent. Only Xuan Xuan came back from school, happily ran over to hug Lu Li, and showed Lu Li the pictures he drew in school. .

Lu Li hugged Xuanxuan and kissed the child on the face.

"Uncle Lu, what's the matter with you today." Children are always sensitive, and Lu Li smiled at him as usual.But he could tell that Lu Li was not happy.

"It's okay, your father will be back late, let's do homework first, and I'll call you after dinner." Lu Li patted Xuanxuan's head.

"Uncle Lu, you talk a lot today, um, your clothes look good too, um, what's wrong with your face, it seems swollen." Xuan Xuan raised his head and asked.

"Uncle is too stupid and got bumped. Do your homework." Lu Li patted Xuan Xuan's head.

When eating at night, several people didn't talk much.

Xuanxuan felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he ate his meal quietly, and was called by Qin's mother to go to the next door to do homework.

In the kitchen, Uncle Guang ignored him at all, and usually told him to do this and that, but now he didn't say a word.

Lu Li saw what he could do, and he did it. Uncle Guang came over and glared at him when he finished his work. Lu Li had no choice but to walk away wisely and find other things to do.

The same situation lasted for three or four days.

I don't know what Qin's mother and Xuanxuan said, it seems that even Xuanxuan often looks at Lu Li with his head tilted and thinking about something, and he is no longer the first to jump on Lu Li when he gets home.

Qi Ji has been very busy these days.

Lu Li knew that he probably helped Situ modify the car.

Lu Li also learned from the chats with the guests that day that Qi Ji had repaired racing cars in a professional team before.Lu Li had never heard Qi Ji mention it himself.

Lu Li was the first to discover that Mr. Hong's situation was not right.

Probably because they are very concerned about Uncle Qin Maguang's attitude towards him every day.

Lu Li also looked at Mr. Hong every day.

After being frightened by Long Jiu that day, old man Hong talked less and less these days. Even Xuanxuan talked to old man several times without any response.Lu Li felt strange, and found that the old man would often hide behind the lottery machine, clutching his heart, and when he went to look at it after a while, he was collecting money as if nothing had happened.

Lu Li had seen it a few times, so he was a little worried to ask Uncle Guang.

Uncle Guang was frying spicy crabs and pretended not to hear what he said.

Lu Li turned his head to look, and saw that Old Man Hong was holding his chest against the lottery machine again. Lu Li anxiously yelled, "Uncle Guang, could the old man have a heart attack!"

Uncle Guang was yelled at, and slammed the shovel loudly with a loud bang, glared at Lu Li and said, "Our life and death are none of your business, you're happy for killing us all, aren't you? I have endured you for so many days, if not for Qi Ji, I would have kicked you out a long time ago!"

Uncle Guang burst out the anger of the past few days.

He saw Lu Li's anxious eyes, and his red eyes after hearing those words, the spicy crab was indeed a bit choking.

After Hong Qiguang finished speaking, he also felt that it was too much.

"Go out——" Uncle Guang hurried away.

Suddenly someone shouted outside——"Old man!"

Lu Li and Uncle Guang glanced at each other before rushing out.

Mr. Hong was very bad. He half slumped on the chair, clutched his chest, and curled up.

There are three tables in the store surrounded by more than a dozen people.Xuanxuan happened to be watching cartoons outside, and when he saw the old man collapsed, Xuanxuan was terrified, and Qin's mother also came over, hugged the child, and stood aside in fright.

"Old man, old man! Hurry up, someone will get a car and take the old man to the hospital!" Someone shouted from the crowd.

Someone was calling: "The old man suddenly fainted, is Jianguo at home, hurry up and come to the food stall! Qi Ji? He's not here! Come here!"

Some people are also complaining: "Tsk tsk, what's going on recently, one thing after another, it's like being caught by a demon."

There were too many people around the old man, and Lu Li couldn't see anyone. Turning his head, he saw Qin Ma and Xuanxuan standing there staring at him with red eyes. Qin Ma's gaze seemed to be looking at a sinner who was extremely disgusted.

Someone in the crowd shouted again: "No, the old man is not breathing!"

Lu Li felt like his heart was about to jump out.

Xuanxuan "Wow -" cried out.

Everyone is in a mess.

Lu Li didn't care about anything now, and shouted, "Let me see!"

"It's not all about you! We haven't had a safe life here since you came here! Get out, get out!" Someone pushed Lu Li.That is Uncle Guang's neighbor everyone calls him Lao Mo.Lao Mo was there when Long Jiu came to make trouble that day.Now he yelled at Lu Li with red eyes: "The old man was scared by you that day, and he has been uncomfortable for the past two days!"

Lu Li took a deep breath, and recklessly left to see Mr. Hong: "Trust me, Mr. Hong is having a heart attack. Don't surround him and keep the air flowing!"

Lu Li wanted to go in, but was blocked by the villagers.

Lu Li wanted to hit someone, but he didn't dare to do it.Only by brute force.

"Boom—" Suddenly, I don't know who pushed him, and he fell on the side table in embarrassment. It was a folding table, which was already unstable. down.Lu Li only felt the hot fish soup spilled on him.He couldn't control it either: "Let me try, my dad also has a heart attack, he had a heart attack, and I saved him!"

There was still half a fish bone on Lu Li's shoulder, but Lu Li didn't notice it at all, he was only thinking about Mr. Hong.

Everyone was frightened by the current situation. Old man Hong was breathless here, Xuanxuan was crying all the time over there, and here stood the son of their enemy in the whole town.

"I beg you!" Lu Li's eyes turned red, he didn't want anything to happen to the old man because of him.

"Okay, let him try it! Where's the car! Who called the car!" Uncle Guang was the first to respond.Uncle Guang glanced at Lu Li and helped to evacuate the surrounding people.

Seeing that there was hope, Lu Li finally had a glint of hope on his face.

"Quick, get out of the way, put Mr. Hong flat on the ground, and leave a space for me to let the air circulate!"

Lu Li commanded.

Uncle Guang took a look at everyone and took the lead to do as Lu Li said.
