Chapter 24 Telephone

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On Friday night, the breeze blew against his cheeks, and Liu Weicheng felt that his whole body relaxed, and the joy appeared on his face.

Even on the way home from the stall, I felt full of energy.

Income... is the source of all happiness.

Thinking back to the time when I was an apprentice in a hardware store in this life, I didn't learn much in terms of technology, but I was often ridiculed and beaten by the boss. If the income was high, I could grit my teeth and endure it.

But in reality, apprenticeship wages are unlikely to be that generous.

With a monthly salary of only 400 yuan, plus the 300 yuan that needs to be sent back to my aunt's house every month, the amount I can freely spend is only about 100 yuan.

At that time, Liu Weicheng was a bit cowardly by nature. He had no friends and no entertainment activities in this city, so he had no place to spend money. His life was a depressing one.

Either on the way to the store, or home late at night.

Under this kind of high-intensity work, not only the body becomes worse, but also the whole person's mental state becomes more and more abnormal.

But now that he has become self-employed again, his life is getting better day by day.

Although the customer flow was a little pitiful when the stall was first set up, as it became familiar with the stall at the school gate and the sauce of the fried skewers was more flavorful than the ones next to it, the business began to gradually become prosperous.

From the scattered customers at the beginning, to a large group of students gathered in front of the stall after school, vying to buy.

Calculated in one day, after deducting the cost of the day, I can earn an income of 200 yuan a day, which is infinitely close to half a month's salary when I was an apprentice in a hardware store.

Once there is hope in life, one's energy and energy will improve.

His originally weak body has gradually returned to normal after these days of nursing. Compared with the time when he was unable to restrain a chicken, Liu Weicheng now feels that he can knock over a cow with one punch, and his whole body seems to have inexhaustible energy.

The strength is the same.

On the way home after closing the stall, Zhao Xuanying, who was walking beside the stall, also had a smile on her face.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend. Liu Weicheng promised her a few days ago that he would help his two other friends with their homework, and the meeting place was at his home.

It happened that grandma had to go out to work during the day, so she was the only one at home.

When she thinks about spending weekends with her friends, Zhao Xuanying can't help but shake her head and look happy.

He was humming an unknown song, and the melody of the song floated to the ears of Liu Weicheng who was riding in the stall beside him.

As he was about to arrive at his residence, he turned his gaze aside and looked at Zhao Xuanying's happy face...

"Are you that happy?"

"Yes~"

With a cheerful reply, Zhao Xuanying's eyes were like crescent moons, and she turned to look at Liu Weicheng, who was walking side by side.

"They will all come tomorrow, and the house will be lively by then."

"You like them very much."

"Yeah, all three of them are very good people!"

After the voice fell, Zhao Xuanying seemed to have started talking, and she couldn't stop talking.

It can be heard from her description that she has always been a loner in the class when she just entered No. 1 Middle School, and she was often harassed by other male classmates in the class because of her appearance.

Fortunately, Shen Yunli showed up and became friends with her along with two other people, which made her life away from the harassment of the opposite sex.

After spending nearly a year together as a freshman in high school, the four of them have obviously become good friends who talk about everything, and she, who attaches great importance to friendship, also treats the other three with sincerity.

Perhaps it has something to do with the environment in which she grew up... It seems that Liu Weicheng has not seen a girl like Zhao Xuanying who is considerate of her friends and kind-hearted for a long time.

When he was a student in his previous life, most of the girls in the class liked to form some so-called cliques. In their eyes, being able to hang out with the gangsters who were the kings and lords of the school was like being very proud.

Although there are some good examples, he is not very clear because he had not been exposed to them at the time.

He had always been single when he was a student. He fell in love a few times after leaving school, but in the end they had disputes over money and the relationship ended.

This is also the reason why, in my previous life, I was twenty-seven years old and still hadn’t gotten married.

If the woman wanted a little less, he would have already carried the baby.

Turning into the alley, the two of them headed in the direction of their home.

Liu Weicheng had no intention of interrupting Zhao Xuanying. He was more like a listener, silently listening to the other party describe the interesting things that had happened to the four of them since they entered school.

Listening to Zhao Xuanying describe how nice Shen Yunli is, describing the fat guy who gives her snacks, and the thin guy who gives her beautiful hairpins...

"Dingling bell~"

The sudden ringing of the bell interrupted Zhao Xuanying, who was talking endlessly. She suddenly closed her mouth and turned her eyes to the place where the sound came from.

Looking at the cell phone that kept ringing in Liu Weicheng's pants pocket...

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call."

Realizing that the call came from his cell phone, Liu Weicheng hurriedly squeezed the brakes, then put one foot on the ground, straightened his leg, and took out the PHS cell phone from his trouser pocket.

Looking at a string of unmarked phone numbers displayed on the phone screen...

A call suddenly came near late at night. Liu Weicheng initially thought it was from his aunt who was far away in his hometown. He was still struggling with how to face the other party. But who would have thought to read the phone number and found that it was not the call.

Liu Weicheng was not impressed by the displayed number, so he chose to connect after some hesitation.

Press the connect button and place the phone next to your left ear.

Open your mouth.

"Hey, who is this?"

【Bang bang bang!! Damn open the door for me!】

As soon as the voice of inquiry came out, the sound of someone banging on the door was heard on the other end of the phone. Along with the man's angry roar, Liu Weicheng didn't know what happened for a while.

Then, the sound of violent breathing reached my ears, and a familiar tone came from the phone receiver.

The tone was full of panic, with a hint of trembling...

[Save me...he, he's here again...]

"..."

Falling into silence, Liu Weicheng was stunned for a moment and recalled who the owner of the voice was.

It was Li Shiyi who we had met several times, the mother who took care of her child alone.

Doubts followed.

First, Liu Weicheng didn't know why the other party had his own phone number, and second... hearing the noise on the other end, it should be Wu Yong who came to the door again.

If you have time to call yourself, why not choose to call the police directly?

But this doubt did not last long. Before Liu Weicheng could respond, the banging on the door became louder and louder, accompanied by the cries of Li Shiyi's child because of fear...

My heart was inexplicably tugged.

When I think of the first time we met, the little girl named Yunyun put a band-aid on herself.

The hand holding the phone tightened a little, and Liu Weicheng didn't say anything more. He just muttered something to the other end of the phone.

"I'll be there right away."

Then hang up the ongoing call immediately.

Kicking the phone back into his pocket, Liu Weicheng turned over and got off the stall cart, looking at Zhao Xuanying who stood next to him with a confused look on his face.

He didn't have time to explain anything, so he just patted the handlebar and said to her.

"Push it back to the yard for me, I have something urgent to do."

"ah?"

"Stop it, we'll talk about it when we get back!"

As he said this, Liu Weicheng turned around and ran towards the alley where he came from. After taking two steps, he turned around and shouted again as if he was worried.

"The car is expensive! Don't forget to lock it!"

"Wait a moment……"

After hearing the other party's instructions, Liu Weicheng's figure had already disappeared at the entrance of the alley before Zhao Xuanying could finish her words.

Standing blankly on the spot, Zhao Xuanying looked at the other party's disappeared figure...and then slowly looked away after a long time.

Look at the soft lock on the handlebar head...

He slowly walked to the car, raised his legs and sat on it.

When she pressed hard... she realized that when she stepped on it with all her strength, the car had no intention of moving forward at all.

After trying it for a while, she had no choice but to give up.

Turn over and get out of the car... Hold the handlebar head with both hands and push forward with all your strength.

"Hey you, hey you..."

Only her regular little voice could be heard in the dim alley.

Further and further away, until...it disappears.
