It was early autumn, and it was raining heavily.
The dark sky looked like it was about to collapse. Because of the weather, it was only five o 'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was already dark.
Xu Qing stepped on the rainwater and ran wildly on the street. His trousers were rolled up high, and the water splashed a few meters away.
"Little Xu, you didn't bring an umbrella?"
The old man in the security booth saw him running like a wild dog from afar. He took out an umbrella from under the table and waited for Xu Qing to run close before he took it out and waved it twice, signaling him to take it.
"It broke halfway!"
Xu Qing finally ran to the big umbrella next to the security booth. He waved to the old man in the security booth and looked down at himself. He wiped the rainwater off his face and said, "Anyway, it's all wet. Don't bother."
As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened his slightly loose trousers and continued to run towards the neighborhood with his pattering footsteps.
There were few residents in the old community, and there were not many people in this kind of weather. Xu Qing ran all the way to the entrance of the corridor. He stomped his feet twice, lowered his head and pinched the corner of his dripping clothes. He took out the key from his trouser pocket and walked into the building.
In the dark corridor, the sound of footsteps was awakened by the sound of footsteps. Xu Qing was stunned when he saw a figure at the side of the door.
It was a girl leaning against the wall. She looked up at the light warily, and then looked at him coldly with a vigilant face.
A few strands of hair stuck to her face, and the ends of her hair were dripping with water. It seemed that she had also walked in the rain …
What stunned him was not the girl herself, but the dress of the girl. She was cosplaying as an ancient swordsman. She was dressed in a vintage linen robe. Her left hand was holding the sword in front of her, and her right hand was holding the hilt. She was wearing straw sandals … The sandals were tattered and her toes were showing.
Dedicated.
Really dedicated.
Seeing the tattered straw sandals, Xu Qing could not help but praise her. He glanced at it casually and continued to take out the key to open the door.
The girl saw his action and suddenly tensed up. She was even more vigilant, and her back was slightly arched. She said with a strange accent, "Stop!"
"…"
Xu Qing shook the key in his hand and pointed to the door. "This is my house."
After a pause, he could not help but feel somewhat helpless.
Do I look like a bad guy?
He was able to scare the girl to this extent from a few meters away …
Looking at the girl slowly backing away, Xu Qing felt even more offended, as if he had been f * cked.
"That …"
He opened his mouth and closed it again. He took the key and went to open the door. When he turned his head to look at her, the vigilance on his little face did not lessen. Xu Qing had never seen such a look in his eyes. It was extremely vigilant, like a little hedgehog with its hair standing on end.
Xu Qing locked the strange girl outside the door and locked the door. She stripped off her wet clothes and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
The water flowed down, making him feel refreshed.
After getting drenched in the rain, he took a hot shower. Then, he put on his pajamas and went to the fridge to get a bottle of Coca-Cola. He unscrewed the cap and …
He was delighted.
"White Gourd, come here."
He did not stay idle while drinking Coke. He used the remote control to turn on the TV, then went to the corner of the room to take out cat food from the cabinet, and poured it into White Gourd's rice bowl to feed it.
White Gourd was originally a stray cat. Two years ago, it was skinny and lying on the wall of the neighborhood. This guy stared at it for a few days, and then he picked an auspicious day to hook it up with a ham sausage and took it home to feed it.
A good little wild cat had been fed into a useless fat otaku, and now it came to eat his cat food.
There was wind and rain outside, Coke and a cat in the house.
Xu Qing stretched and looked out the window. He picked up his phone and ordered a three-piece set of hamburgers, chicken rolls, and Coke.
Two bolts of lightning flashed in the sky. The dull rumbling of thunder was getting closer and closer. The rain was getting heavier. He glanced at the time, then looked at the door. After thinking for a moment, he found an umbrella in the room and looked out through the peephole.
He did not see the hedgehog-like girl.
Squeak.
He opened the door and looked out. Xu Qing was looking at the cold eyes a few steps away, as well as her defensive posture.
"That …"
He felt a little awkward. This was the first time someone was guarding against him like he was a wolf.
"It's getting dark, and the rain doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon. If your house is not far …" Xu Qing showed a smile that he thought was kind and raised the umbrella in his hand.
Seeing that the girl did not move, he tilted his head and continued, "If it is far, you can call your family to pick you up. I can help you find security. Look at how wet you are. Go home quickly …"
Although the girl was wet, she still looked a little valiant. There was a heroic spirit in her eyes. She was probably not from around here, or else he would definitely have an impression of her.
"Where is this?" The girl finally spoke. She still had that weird accent, and her right hand was holding the hilt of her broken sword.
Xu Qing leaned against the door with the umbrella. Looking at her, he had some guesses. "This is Jiahe neighborhood, Beiwang Road."
"…"
"…"
The two of them looked at each other. The girl frowned slightly and asked after a moment of silence, "Who are you?"
"…"
Xu Qing did not know how to respond.
A kind-hearted neighbor?
She must be crazy!
"Just call me handsome." He looked up. "Do you want the umbrella? If not, I'll take it back. "
"Salt Gang."
The girl's expression was uncertain. Looking at the black umbrella in his hand, she finally let down some of her guard. Her expression softened a little. She let go of the sword hilt and said, "I am a disciple of the Salt Gang. I don't know why I am here …"
"…"
"…"
Xu Qing blinked.
She really was crazy.
"Which school are you from? … Forget it, I'll call the security and see what happens. "
Handing over the umbrella was a simple matter, but he did not expect it to be a girl who could not extricate herself from cosplay.
He glanced at the girl in the corridor again. She was dressed in coarse hemp clothes, her hair tied up with a rope behind her head. She was looking at him with a sword in her hand, looking like a martial arts hero. He shrugged helplessly and returned to the room to look for his phone.
If she stayed out in the rain for a night, or ran around in the rain when it got dark, she might see it on the news tomorrow …
Xu Qing picked up the phone from the sofa and dialed the security uncle's number. Seeing the girl outside the door looking into the room, he waved his hand to indicate that she could come in.
"Hello, hello, Zhao Shu, can you hear me?"
After two beeps, the phone was connected. The girl stood at the door and did not come in again. She looked at him with curiosity and vigilance.
"Hello? Hello? Zhao Shu, I … "
"Looking for a job!!! Where to??? Looking for a job … "
The TV suddenly switched to an advertisement. The loud volume shocked Xu Qing. The girl at the door was also shocked, and then …
Bang!
Click!
Sizzle …
Smoke rose from the TV on the wall. A diamond-shaped dart was nailed in the middle.
"Hello, Xiao Xu? What's wrong? "The security uncle's voice came from the phone.
Clang!
The long sword in the girl's hand was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.
Xu Qing looked at the TV, and then at the girl who was staring at him with the sword in her hand. He stood rooted to the ground.
"…"
"…"
"Xiao Xu?"
"It's okay. Go ahead."
