Chapter 30 Commercial Street.
Chapter 30 Commercial Street.
It was the first time for Jiang Lu to go to the parking shed with someone other than Xie Linjun to get a car. The girl who was so thin that she couldn't even hold a T-shirt leaned on the iron railing outside the parking shed. Be careful that when you meet the eyes of others, you will quickly turn your head away to look away.
"Let's go." Jiang Lu pushed the cart out, "Where can I buy it?"
"It's far away," An Kui walked beside him with her schoolbag in her hand. When passing by a trash can, Jiang Lu always felt that she would throw her schoolbag into it, "I'll just show you the way."
"Then let's go." Jiang Lu nodded.
The place to go is indeed far away.
An Kui sat on the back seat of Jiang Lu's bicycle and directed him to turn left and right. He walked 800 meters, bypassed the ditch and went on. I can continue to move forward in the direction she said.
It didn't take long for the sound of opening the door to come from the earphones, and then the lock fell, Ran Qiuyu's voice sounded from the other end, Jiang Lu couldn't hear it very clearly from this end, only Xie Linjun answered vaguely twice, and then quickly Stepping upstairs, I opened my room, and after sitting down, the earphones finally cleared up.
"Still on the way?" Xie Linjun heard the wind on the other side of the river road.
"En." Jiang Lu responded.
Xie Linjun stopped talking, opened his schoolbag, took out his homework from the inside, spread it on the table, and began to write.
Jiang Lu heard that there was finally no sound over there, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart. He felt empty, and it wasn't easy to show it. He could only purse his lips, and said loudly to An Kui, "How long is it?"
"Soon," An Kui's voice sounded a bit muffled, "It's almost there."
Jiang Lu raised his chin and glanced ahead.
He remembered that there was an old commercial street in front of him.When he was a child, he would often come here to play with his friends, running from Grandpa Li’s shop to Grandma Zhang’s shop at the end of the street, always filled with candies by those kind old people, and then opened their muddy hands and smiled. He ran home, washed his hands after being scolded.
Later, this street was also included in the demolition area, and the merchants who were forced to move out received a small amount of compensation and had nowhere to declare. A few "nail households" are still here, spreading a blanket on the damp and cold second floor. Selling outdated clothes that can't be sold all year round.
The prosperity of the past is long gone, but Jiang Lu has grown up here, and he is more familiar with the road here than his way home.
"What do you buy here?" Jiang Lu asked suspiciously, "The shops here are almost finished."
"Turn left." An Kui didn't respond to his words, and gave instructions on her own.
This time, after only walking a short distance, An Kui stopped the car.She jumped off the bicycle lightly, with her schoolbag casually hanging on her shoulder, she took two steps forward, turned her head to look at Jiang Lu, "I'll take you to eat something first."
"Ah." Jiang Lu locked the car on the side of the road.
In fact, he would rather go home and eat takeaway.
"Hurry up." Seeing Jiang Lu walking slowly forward, An Kui couldn't help urging her. After the urging, she froze for a moment, then pursed her lips, turned and walked into the alley.
Jiang Lu looked at her back, then looked down at the two bags of rotten-smelling garbage piled up at the entrance of the alley, raised his hand and pressed the earphones hard, took a small breath, and followed in a few steps.
This alley was originally a shortcut to the commercial street, and you can walk to the most prosperous area of the commercial street when you walk to the end, but now few people care about it. The smell of the sewer is disgusting, and the dead mice are covered with small Bugs, flies in mid-air kept flapping their wings, making annoying sounds in the air.
Jiang Lu walked over bravely. An Kui was already standing at the end waiting for him. After he went out, he pointed to the front, "Do you want to eat?"
Looking along the place where she pointed, it turned out to be a small octopus ball, and there was a milk tea shop next to it. The two bosses sat on the bamboo stool and chatted comfortably. Seeing An Kui and Jiang Lu walking towards the door of the shop , they stood up, "What do you want to eat?"
"You order," An Kui saw that Jiang Lu didn't have much to say, so she assumed that he had acquiesced, "I'll go buy two cups of milk tea."
"Less sugar and more ice, thank you." Jiang Lu said this time, "Two small balls, thank you."
"Okay." The boss opened the tool with a smile.
There is actually a shop here.
I thought it was over long ago, and only those on the second floor who couldn't find a place to go remained here.
Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes.
"Eat less junk food." Xie Linjun's voice came from the earphones.
"Eat more stewed bitter gourd with carrots and green beans?" Jiang Lu laughed.
"Shut up." Xie Linjun turned a page of the book and ignored him.
Jiang Lu smiled for a while, the octopus balls were ready, and An Kui's milk tea was also bought.
She handed the cup with the straw inserted to Jiang Lu, picked it up by herself and took the little balls after inserting it, and just squatted at the door of the store to eat.
An Kui doesn't look like a girl at all when she eats, not all girls should be gentle and elegant, but her ruthlessness, she bites down on the things in her mouth like an enemy He chewed his teeth together, without making a sound, but it made people feel cold for no reason.
"Isn't there less sugar?" Jiang Lu took a sip of the milk tea, "It's so sweet."
"That's how little sugar is in his house." An Kui swallowed what was in her mouth, and said slowly, "After eating, go shopping on the second floor."
"What exactly do you want to buy?" Jiang Lu said.
"Clothes." An Kui said.
The clothes sold at the stalls on the second floor are all goods that have been hoarded for an unknown amount of time. The fabrics are a bit damp, and the colors of the clothes are also dark colors. Even the brightest yellow is forcibly added with black stripes. Looking at the past, there are hot-eyed styles and colors everywhere.
The overly sweet milk tea was too sweet to drink. Jiang Lu threw it in the trash can at the corner after taking a few sips. He followed An Kui and watched her pick and choose. He really bought a lot of clothes, and even bought two A pair of black cloth shoes worn by old ladies.
Jiang Lu didn't ask any more questions, and when An Kui bought something, he went over to help carry it, and only handed it to An Kui if he couldn't carry it.
"I used to have a grandma who was very kind to me. She celebrated her birthday the day after tomorrow. I don't have much money." An Kui glanced at Jiang Lu, probably feeling the need to explain, "I can only afford these."
"Yes," Jiang Lu replied, "Happy birthday to her."
An Kui turned around in silence and walked forward.
The two of them finished shopping in the small shopping mall on the second floor in half an hour and bought a lot of things. The two of them probably had to take a taxi back home, and they had to carry the bicycle on Jianglu into the taxi.
Summer is a season of joy and excitement.
The warm sun that is gradually heating up makes people feel comfortable and tired, while the high temperature that is too hot makes people sweat profusely.
As soon as he got down to the second floor, Jiang Lu felt extremely hot all over his body, and the sweat dripped down his body desperately, wet the clothes inside, and even the school uniform jacket was soaked in sweat.After walking into the alley, he let out a long breath and looked up at the sun that was about to set. When the wind blew, he could feel a slight coolness on his wet skin, but his body felt like a fire was burning. It hurts like burning.
"Jiang Lu," An Kui turned around and took a deep breath, "You have split."
Differentiated?
Just so suddenly?
No, it wasn't sudden either.He had the signs of the early stage of differentiation a long time ago, but those few times were relatively gradual, not as violent as this time, which almost knocked him out of his footing.
There was a sound of fabric rubbing in the earphones, followed by Xie Linjun's voice, he asked nervously uncertainly, "Are you differentiated?"
"Hmm...probably?" Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether he was answering An Kui or Xie Linjun.
An Kui's expression changed in his eyes, the light behind her distorted her facial features, Jiang Lu saw her take a few steps in front of him, raised her hand to touch his face, " Are you uncomfortable?"
"It's okay," Jiang Lu swallowed, "It's not as uncomfortable as I thought."
"Yeah," An Kui took the things in his hand, "You are different from me, you didn't touch alpha when you differentiated."
Jiang Lu didn't have much thought to understand the meaning of An Kui's words. He held his stomach and took deep breaths, trying to relieve the pain that came from deep in his body during the differentiation.The original rancid smell in the alley was replaced by some smell. He couldn't smell other smells, he could only smell the familiar and unfamiliar smell, probably his own pheromone smell.
"Where is it?" Xie Linjun frowned, "I'll pick you up."
"Old... old commercial street." Jiang Lu swallowed hard, and just as he finished speaking, a few people gathered at the alley.
"Is this a newly differentiated one?" They walked over with a half-smile and a cigarette in their mouths, not caring about the garbage and dead rats in the alley, and walked straight over, "It's fine, I like to play this kind of thing I don't understand anything."
The strong alpha pheromones on the men's bodies attacked them so unabashedly. Jiang Lu's feet softened and he almost knelt down. He quickly supported the wall to stand firm. He turned his face slightly and whispered, "Tell a lie and run out from the main gate to save me."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lu grabbed An Kui with his backhand and ran out. The alphas behind him clicked their tongues, threw the cigarette aside, and quickly followed.
It is indeed not a good choice to run around in the differentiation period.
But at this moment, I can't think about it that much.
Buying something after school can be differentiated, and you can even run into an alpha by chance.
It's nothing more than eight lifetimes of bloody bad luck.
Jiang Lu dragged An Kui out with all his strength.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer, and the alphas followed silently and quickly at a very painful distance. Several times, Jiang Lu thought he was going to get rid of them, but he could always smell their pheromones.
run.
This is the only word in Jiang Lu's mind.
You can't be caught even if you run to your death.
He buried his head and ran forward, shuttling through the streets along the path in his memory, and he had no time to look back at the people behind him, and the expressionless An Kui who was being dragged by him.
