Later, Liu Sheng believed that the Bodhisattvas of Chongguang Temple were eccentric, and it was only the wish of believers to save all living beings.Later, Liu Sheng always believed that two of the three sticks of incense he lit that night were wasted, and the Bodhisattva was eccentric and only accepted the one stick of incense he lit for Baorun.The Bodhisattva didn't bless him or her, the Bodhisattva only blessed Baorun. That morning when he went to Shi Wharf to drive, he found that there was more garbage under the car than usual. He thought it was done by wild dogs and cats, and he didn't care.He opened the door on the side of the driver's seat and heard someone snoring in the car. When he turned around, he found a person's head buried in the vegetable basket, curled up like a shrimp, still sleeping.He shouted, who?What are you doing?The snoring stopped abruptly, and a man's face slowly emerged from the vegetable basket, pale, swollen, with red and swollen eyes, and looked exhausted.The car was instantly filled with a horrifying atmosphere, and he recognized Baorun at a glance.Bao Run was wearing a bulky suit that didn't fit his body, and a white crumpled baseball cap with the four golden words Hong Kong Tourism on the brim.Bao Run's haggard appearance looks like a middle-aged man, only the eyes under the visor still have a trace of childishness.Are you Yagyu?He looked at Liu Sheng curiously, from head to toe, fuck, finally it's you.You are doing well, do you really have a car?

Liu Sheng shuddered.He subconsciously wanted to abandon the car and flee, one leg had already stepped out of the car, Bao Run rushed over and grabbed his lapel, don't run, why are you running?Afraid of me?Liu Sheng's other leg was left in the car, trying to maintain a decent face. I'm not afraid of you, but I'm afraid of ghosts. I thought the car was haunted. He forced himself to say calmly, why didn't you say hello when you came back?Anyway, I have a car that can pick you up. Bao Run wiped his hands on his trousers, then suddenly reached out and shook Liu Sheng's hand once.It was an overly grand handshake, quite ceremonial. Liu Sheng felt that the other party's hand was very strong. He didn't want to show weakness, so he concentrated all his strength on his hand. The two of them silently competed with each other. Say, hey, what are you nervous about?Why are your hands shaking?Liu Sheng withdrew his hand, shook it, and said, it's your hand shaking, mine never shakes.Baorun laughed, okay, it doesn't matter if I shake, it's fine if you don't shake, you can drive if you don't shake, I'll take your car to Jingting Hospital to see my grandpa.Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, why don't you go home first?Mrs. Ma has the key to your house, I will take you to get it.Baorun shook his head and said, don't rush to get the key, first look at my grandfather, other things, one by one.

Liu Sheng took the initiative to introduce his grandfather's recent situation to Bao Run, saying that the old man is doing well, although his mind is getting more and more unclear, his body is still very strong, and he needs to eat two bowls of rice for a meal.Ask Baorun again, I give him 300 yuan a month and buy him nutritional supplements, have you heard about it?Baorun replied vaguely, oh, good.It's a thank you.After a while, I asked, the current three hundred yuan is equal to the previous thirty yuan, right?Liu Sheng didn't know what his intention was, so he said cautiously, inflation, now the price of everything is rising every day, even the price of condoms is rising, but don't worry, your rent has also risen, I heard that Master Ma every I will save you 1,000 yuan a month, and it is enough to save some money.Paul Run said, what am I worried about?With you as a big boss here, how can you suffer me?Yes or no?Liu Sheng smiled and said, yes, of course.Baorun patted him on the shoulder and asked again, big boss, how much money do you earn a month?Out of the instinct of self-protection, Liu Sheng deliberately kept a low profile. What kind of big boss am I?Dealing with pork and vegetables every day, earning a few hard-earned money to survive, can't even afford a commercial house, Chun Geng A6 and the others have a son, and I, like you, am still a bachelor.Baorun was silent in the back, and suddenly said, it was not my fault that I was single, it was your own fault that you were single.He looked back at Baorun, man, what do you mean?Baorun gave a strange laugh, where is that fairy?She treats you so well, why don't you marry her as your wife?

One sentence ignited the fire of memory, and a cluster of dark fires burned silently in the van. The subtle heat flowed back and forth between them, and Liu Sheng felt a little hot on his face.He wanted to talk about the fairy, but he thought about it, and finally sighed, and said, forget it, it's all unpleasant things, so let's not talk about her. The mirror reflected Baorun's face, which was sometimes dull and sometimes gloomy in the morning light.There was a strange wet light on Baorun's forehead, and he sat upright on an upside-down vegetable basket, holding two carrots in his hand.He taps a carrot on another carrot, boom.Boom.Boom.He broke one and took another out of the basket.Liu Sheng didn't know why Baorun wanted to knock carrots.Boom.Boom.Boom.It was Baorun many years later, not the stunned young man of the past, but a dangerous stranger, with a unique aura exuding from him.Liu Sheng was very vigilant, and there seemed to be a faint whistling of a storm in his ears.He stared at the mirror all the time, and saw a roll of white packing rope rolling back and forth in the car with cold eyes. One end of the rope was tucked up understandingly, while the other end was dragging playfully on the ground, teasing the hand that was good at tying. Run picked up the bundle of packing rope, shook it off little by little, and tied it around his wrist, then he heard Baorun's hoarse and abrupt voice, why does she hate me so much?do you know?

A deadly topic, after all, can not be avoided. Sooner or later, the question should be asked, but the answer should not be answered.Liu Sheng was choosing his words in his head, but what came out of his mouth were fluffy clichés, forget it, let the past go, let's move forward.And sincerely, she is also pitiful now, she has gotten into a whole lot of trouble, she doesn't know where she went, and I heard that she went to Japan. It was quiet behind.Baorun sneered, grabbed a carrot and took a bite.Hearing the sound of Baorun chewing carrots, Liu Sheng didn't dare to speak lightly, feeling a little beating in his heart, suspecting that it would be his turn next.Regarding framing, betrayal, and blaming others, sooner or later he will have to make a reasonable justification for this, and he has no good plan to make the crime sound reasonable.Liu Sheng looked towards the street outside the car window, hoping to meet a hitchhiker, and one more person in the car would bring more security.Strange to say, his van usually passes through Toon Street, and there are always acquaintances stopping the van to go here and there, but there were not many acquaintances on the street that morning, and no one wanted to take his car.The van drove past the door of Bao Run's house, and he deliberately slowed down.Mrs. Ma's family must not know the news of Bao Run's return. Xiao Ma's red motorcycle is still blocking the door of his house. There are various small advertisements on the door, and no one bothers to clean it up. More like an advertising column.It's your home.He turned around and asked Baorun, do you want to stop?Put your luggage?

non-stop.Baorun said, I don't have any luggage, so you can just drive and drive there. They passed Chun Geng's house.A dark-skinned woman was wearing cotton wool trousers, and she was setting up a drying rack in front of the door, muttering in her mouth, whether she was complaining about the weather or cursing, followed by a little girl, holding a quilt in her arms, the quilt was higher than her top of the head.Liu Dongdong got his brain together, and shouted to the little girl, little bell, let your father come out and see who is back?The little girl ignored Liu Sheng, the woman rolled her eyes at the van, and said angrily, it's none of our business who comes back, Chun Geng can't get out, he's still dead on the bed, yesterday was another night of mahjong.Liu Sheng was a little disappointed, and introduced to Bao Run that she was Chun Geng's wife, a vicious, hag!His daughter is also a strange child. She doesn't like to study, but loves to do housework.Chun Geng had a good time with you before, do you want to go down and say hello to him?

I am not familiar with Chun Geng.I don't have many friends on the street.Baorun paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, I had a good time with you before, right? He heard the overtones, his heart tightened, and he changed the subject, you come out from inside, first go to the street to register, right?Just drop by, I'll take you to the sub-district office to register. There is no rush to register.There is one less person in this street and one more person than me, no one knows, no one cares.Liu Sheng said, I know your small plans, don't think too much, today is my first day out, it is a happy day, everyone is safe and sound.

All the way was uneventful.The van passed by the square in front of the Workers' Cultural Palace. A car accident just happened, and the traffic was blocked for a while. The car stopped helplessly next to a giant cosmetics advertisement.Liu Sheng noticed from the mirror that the advertising girl had attracted Bao Run's gaze.A commercial girl is a commercial girl, with provocative lips scarlet, wet tousled hair blond, bare shoulder blades sharp and sensual.A Western girl's blind and unbridled sexy release finds a focal point in Bao Run's eyes.Liu Sheng was secretly amused, turned around and winked at Bao Run, how is it?After holding back for so many years, what are your thoughts today?If you have an idea, just say it, I will lead the way, and I will treat you.Baorun quickly looked away from the advertisement, what do you think?The bottom has long been suffocated, what ideas can the top have?He leaned over the vegetable basket and tilted his head thinking about something. After a while, he pointed to the gate of the Workers' Cultural Palace and asked, is the roller skating rink in the Cultural Palace still there?

Do you want to rollerblade?Liu Sheng said in surprise, you don't want to have sex?Want to rollerblade? No.I don't want anything.Just ask. The roller skating rink is long gone, have you seen McDonald's?And the KFC over there?Yagyu said that half of the original roller skating rink was given to McDonald's and half to KFC.
