Bei Bei cut a piece of meat from the frozen steak and waved it in front of the pastoral dog.
The meat wriggled like an earthworm, but the pastoral dog didn't seem to have a high appetite … to the extent that it didn't even have any.
Ever since it was tricked into this second-hand electrical shop, it had been crawling in a corner. There was even a shelf next to it — it had completely hidden itself in this narrow but unusually safe place.
"I thought I was already a shut-in, but I didn't expect you to be even more shut-in than me … What's your name? I'll call you Xiao Bei, okay? "Bei Bei squatted down and cupped his chin with his hands." My name is Bei Bei. Hello! "
The pastoral dog … Xiao Bei, who had just gotten a name, didn't seem to hear anything. It didn't even raise its drooping ears.
It really looked like a useless dog.
However, the girl seemed to have turned on a switch and started talking to herself. In the end, Xiao Bei still didn't eat the beef.
Suddenly, the sound of the door being knocked came from outside.
The girl who was talking to herself stood up in an instant. In the instant that she stood up, she held the knife used to cut the beef and pressed it against her arm.
His gaze also became abnormally cold.
At this moment, Xiao Bei opened his eyes slightly. After taking a look, he went back to his original state, as if he had lost interest in life.
The sound of the door being knocked hadn't stopped yet. Bei Bei walked closer and put his ear closer to the door, listening carefully. At the same time, he looked at the scene on the screen.
The person knocking on the door was a girl with short hair … Bei Bei frowned. After thinking for a while, he pulled down his sleeve and hid the knife in his hand as he opened the side door.
"What's the matter? We're already closed. "Bei Bei looked at the short-haired girl and said apologetically.
… …
A relatively young girl walked out … She looked to be around nineteen or twenty years old.
Nan Xiaonan opened her mouth and said, "I saw that your lights were still on, so I wanted to find something."
Bei Bei frowned and said, "Find something?"
Nan Xiaonan nodded and said, "I wanted to get a second-hand washing machine … I got off work too late, and the other places were all closed. I just happened to see that there was still light on here, so I had to give it a try. You know that there's a curfew at night, so it's not convenient to buy things. "
"Washing machine?"
Nan Xiaonan nodded and said, "I just started working here … I rented an apartment in the village in the city over there. I haven't even packed my things yet! There are too many things to wash … A semi-automatic one is fine too. Use it first. "
"Sorry, we don't have the washing machine you want here." Bei Bei shook his head.
"If that's the case …" Nan Xiaonan said regretfully, "Then can I go in and take a look? I want to see if there are any cheap and useful home appliances … I think I need an induction cooker too. "
"No." Bei Bei still shook his head. "You should go somewhere else tomorrow … I'm going to close the shop."
"Pretty girl, just let me have a look? It's very hard for us, who are new to the Labour Party. It's such a big second-hand shop. There must be an induction cooker or something, right? "Nan Xiaonan said bitterly.
"What happened?"
At this moment, a man's voice came from the second-hand electrical appliance store … Bei Bei hurriedly looked in. "Boss … Boss, there's a lady here who says she wants to come in and buy something."
"What do you want to buy?"
Nan Xiaonan poked her head in while Bei Bei wasn't paying attention. "Washing machine and induction cooker … You're the boss? Do me a favor, I just moved here. My landlord is so stingy … It's really inconvenient tonight. "
Bei Bei frowned and directly grabbed Nan Xiaonan's arm.
"Let her in." The man in the store, Boss Jin, said indifferently.
"Boss is still a good person!" At this moment, Nan Xiaonan giggled as she lightly slapped away Bei Bei's hand that was grabbing her, and directly entered the electrical appliance store.
"We have the things you want here." Boss Jin said indifferently, "But it's so late, how are you going to carry them back? At this time, you won't be able to call for people to pick them up … There's no one on the streets at night. "
"It's okay, it's not far. It's just across the road. I can carry them myself!" Nan Xiaonan patted her biceps and said, "Ever since I fell out of love, I've gained muscle. The next time I see my ex-boyfriend, I'll definitely beat him to death!"
Boss Jin looked at her expressionlessly. Then, he slowly walked to one side and took out an old induction cooker from the shelf. He pointed to the other side and said, "There's only this induction cooker. There are three washing machines here. You can take the one you like."
"How much is this?" Nan Xiaonan directly pointed to the one in the middle and asked.
"150." Boss Jin said indifferently, "No bargaining. If you want it, take it. If you don't, close the door."
"Boss, you … do business?" Nan Xiaonan opened her mouth.
Boss Jin stared at her without saying a word.
Nan Xiaonan could only say, "Including this induction cooker, how about 180?"
Mr. Jin suddenly asked, "Where do you live?"
Nan Xiaonan said casually, "In the village in the city across the road. It's not very far."
Mr. Jin said indifferently, "Give me 230, and I'll carry it over for you."
Nan Xiaonan opened her mouth, as if she was caught unprepared.
At the same time, Bei Bei was slowly approaching from behind. The light of a lethal weapon could be seen in his hand … He had already quietly raised the knife behind Nan Xiaonan's back.
Nan Xiaonan opened her mouth and said, "It's just crossing the road, and you want to charge me 50? Boss, you're too deceptive! Do you think I'm a foreigner, so you're bullying me? "
"Then tell me how much." Boss Jin said indifferently.
"30!" Nan Xiaonan clenched her teeth, "If it's this price, then I'll carry it myself!"
"Then 30." Boss Jin nodded.
Bei Bei was startled, but in the end, he quietly moved back a little … The tip of the knife silently moved away from Nan Xiaonan's neck.
Nan Xiaonan grinned, "Anyway, Boss Jin, right … Can I pay 10 yuan for this old fan?"
"You're very greedy." Boss Jin said suddenly.
Nan Xiaonan blinked her eyes, "Women are all greedy, but little women are even greedier."
"Take it." Boss Jin said indifferently, "What else do you want? Take it all. We may not open tomorrow."
"Not for now."
"Bei Bei, you carry these two things." Boss Jin said directly, "I'll carry the big ones."
…
The wheels of the handcart made a particularly loud sound on the street … Boss Jin pulled the washing machine and walked in front of them.
"By the way, I'm Nan Xiaonan, and you?"
Nan Xiaonan and Bei Bei were walking together on the footbridge that led to the opposite side of the road.
"Bei Bei."
"What a cute name." Nan Xiaonan smiled, then lowered her voice and said, "Your boss doesn't seem to like to talk much … He's quite fierce."
Bei Bei smiled, "The boss doesn't like to talk much, but he's very nice."
Nan Xiaonan nodded, then asked casually, "Your second-hand shop has been open for a long time, right? Are you locals?"
"It's been a while." Bei Bei said casually, "We're not from here, so we're not very familiar with this place. It's not safe in the city recently, so we don't dare to run around. "
"That's right." Nan Xiaonan complained bitterly, "It's hard to find a job. It's not easy to find one, but the salary is only a little bit … Oh right, I heard that the nearby [One Mansion] Spa Center is hiring. Do you know about it? What do you think of that place, is it decent? "
"This … I'm not sure." Bei Bei shook his head, "Do you want to work in that kind of place?"
"I'm just asking." Nan Xiaonan smiled casually.
At this moment, Boss Jin suddenly stopped, "We've crossed the road, where should we go in?"
"Follow the arch, it's about 100 meters away. It's on the third floor, not very high!" Nan Xiaonan said quickly, "It's just that the corridor is a bit narrow!"
"It's okay."
They didn't say anything else, and they covered the distance of 100 meters in a moment … It was an old house in a narrow alley, nothing special.
Boss Jin didn't say anything, but directly carried the washing machine and went up the corridor. He stopped in front of the iron door on the third floor, then said indifferently, "Open the door."
Nan Xiaonan said, "Wait a moment, I'll clean it up … It's a bit messy inside!"
Nan Xiaonan quickly opened the door, and then directly entered the rented house, and closed the door … Unexpectedly, Boss Jin at this time suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the door panel, and directly pushed the door panel open with force.
"What are you doing! I told you to wait a moment! "
Nan Xiaonan screamed as if her tail had been stepped on … Boss Jin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, and let Nan Xiaonan close the door again.
"This woman … is quite sloppy."
Bei Bei said coldly.
The moment Boss Jin opened the door, she saw the inside of the house clearly … It was indeed a mess, and there were several red, purple and black underwear hanging on the wall.
"It seems that she's really here to buy things." Bei Bei said in a low voice.
"Let's wait and see." Boss Jin said indifferently.
Bei Bei nodded silently.
After a while, Nan Xiaonan opened the door again … One room, one bathroom, and there wasn't even a so-called kitchen, only a small table with some convenient kitchen utensils in the room.
The clothes on the anti-theft net at the window had been collected.
This was a typical single-person dormitory in a village in the city … It was dark, humid and stuffy.
Boss Jin didn't say anything, and directly carried the washing machine inside, then began to install it.
"It's a bit messy … sorry."
"It's okay."
They talked about some unimportant things outside … It seemed that it was easier for women to communicate with each other.
"Sister Xiaonan, why did you think of coming here to work?"
"I'm looking forward to the big city." Nan Xiaonan opened a bottle of beer and sat down, looking up at the window and said, "I've been looking forward to it since I was young, but when I came to the big city, I found it was just like that."
"Your family?"
"I don't have a family." Nan Xiaonan shook her head, "One person can eat his fill, and the whole family won't be hungry."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know …"
"Yes." Nan Xiaonan shook her head, her eyes downcast, "It's okay, I've been used to it … I almost don't remember what my parents look like."
"This key …" Bei Bei curiously looked at the key pendant around Nan Xiaonan's neck.
"This …" Nan Xiaonan lowered her head, fiddling with the key pendant, then shook her head and put it away, "It's not important, I just bought it because it looks special."
Bei Bei didn't ask further.
"It's done. Take a look, if there's no problem, we'll leave." Boss Jin directly walked out at this moment, quite straightforward.
Nan Xiaonan said there was no problem after checking it, so Boss Jin directly left with Bei Bei, still very straightforward.
"Thank you! If I need anything else, I'll come to you again, boss! Remember to give me a good price! "
She watched the two leave in the corridor.
…
…
Downstairs, Boss Jin raised his head and looked around … only to see Bei Bei come back after making a round. He shook his head and said, "Nothing suspicious."
Boss Jin directly walked into a small store, looking at an auntie with a waist bag in front of the counter, asking, "Are you the landlord of this building?"
"Housekeeper?" The auntie looked at him with confusion.
"I want to ask you something." Boss Jin thought for a while, "The woman on the third floor, did she just move here?"
The auntie frowned, and said vigilantly, "Why do you ask this?"
At this moment, Bei Bei hurriedly walked over and intimately held onto Boss Jin's arm. She smiled sweetly and said, "It's like this, Lady Boss. This is my big brother … he just bumped into that big sister upstairs. She's a little interesting, so he wants to ask about her. My elder brother is very nice, but his family is a bit anxious, so is he himself … Can you do me a favor? "
She gave the Lady Boss some consultation fees … discreetly.
"You don't look like bad people." The auntie took out the money with a smile, then sighed, "Speaking of which, this girl is quite pitiful. She's been looking for a house here for several days, but she didn't find it expensive, so she didn't get it. I thought she was quite pitiful, so I rented it to her at a cheap price. "
"Is her life very miserable?" Bei Bei asked curiously.
"She lost her parents a long time ago, it's miserable enough." The auntie sighed, "Look, she had a boyfriend who was about to get married, but he suddenly passed away a few months ago … I don't know the exact reason, and it's not good to ask, right? This girl doesn't have it easy. That day when she moved in, there was a pile of stuff downstairs. I kindly wanted to help her call someone to carry it upstairs, but she insisted on carrying it all by herself. She's very tired, and actually didn't save much money. "
Bei Bei and Boss Jin looked at each other, then Bei Bei smiled, "Then madam, do you know where she works?"
"I'm not very sure … But these days, she goes out early in the morning, and comes back around this time."
"Alright, thank you, Lady Boss." Bei Bei nodded at this moment.
"I have her phone number, do you want it? Just don't tell her that I told you. "The Almighty said with a smile.
"No need." Bei Bei said casually, "It's more sincere to ask this kind of thing personally. Sorry to disturb you, madam. "
"You're welcome … Come to my shop often in the future! Many girls pass by here before! "
They had already walked away.
…
…
Bei Bei was in charge of cooking.
A group of people sat around a wooden table and ate, not talking much.
Maeve was eating and asked curiously, "Where's the boss? Doesn't he eat? "
"I don't know, he went to the small room after coming back." Bei Bei shook his head.
They looked at Boss Jin's small room at the same time — he never let people in. Of course, there were no secrets inside — after all, they had just come to this second-hand shop.
Including Mr. Jin himself … It was only half a month ago that he bought this second-hand shop.
"Speaking of which, isn't this dog … a little ugly?"
"Is it? It's called Xiao Bei! "Bei Bei protested," How is it ugly? "
Just like that, they talked about random things, as if they were family.
Their voices … didn't reach the small room — even if they did, Mr. Jin probably couldn't hear them clearly.
Because he was wearing headphones at the moment, and there was an open suitcase on the table … Eavesdropping equipment.
"Dead cockroach! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! You're still running! You're still running … Die! "
"Aiya, my leg … my leg …"
"I'm alone, I'll eat instant noodles … Of course, I'll have a slice of cheese …"
"This trashy TV series is getting uglier and uglier! If I continue to be a member, I'll be a pig! "
The sound of eating noodles.
All of a sudden, the chattering stopped, and there was complete silence.
Mr. Jin frowned, reaching out to turn the knob in the suitcase … Then, a sobbing sound slowly entered his ears.
It rushed into his heart.
