Chapter 6 Urban Legends
June 10th, sunny.
Lu Jiu, who had been looking for four hours in the heavy rain last night, was lying sleepy on the mat, letting the sunlight outside the window scatter on him.
Although he had woken up for several hours and it was already half afternoon, Lu Jiu had no mood to get up to cook.
Looking for him in the middle of the night, he just wanted to stay in bed listlessly for the whole day until his mood improved again.
Why, why did it become like this?
The first time I wanted to eat crayfish, and the first time I had a pet that could accompany me, the two happy things overlapped.
What I got was a time of happiness like a dream...
But why, why did it become like this?
As if he felt the sun was a little annoying, Lu Jiu turned over, turned his back to the windowsill, and sighed secretly.
Why, even cats abandon me?
It was clearly what it chose to stay, but why did it suddenly leave alone?
Thinking of this, Lu Jiu couldn't help but think of his parents for a long time.
I have no memory of what happened before I was ten years old.
But since I have memories, I have been living here alone.
I have never seen my parents look like, I don’t know who they are, and I have no way of knowing what their surname is.
So Lu Jiu could only give himself a name from the date of that day.
June 9th, Lu Jiu.
Fortunately, the poverty subsidy in Dongxia Country is quite good. In addition, the care of neighbors on weekdays makes me barely push myself up.
Even Aunt Ge, who has the worst temper and the most stingy, will wipe out some fractions of herself during daily trading, or give herself some things that are about to expire.
These neighbors have always been like this for so many years.
Although I have long been accustomed to being alone, I won’t feel uncomfortable living alone.
But people always feel emotional and sad because they see their classmates and their parents at school, because they are quarreling and lively, because they are lonely alone in the middle of the night.
Lu Jiu once asked himself on countless tossing and turning nights,
Why did my father and mother abandon me?
He couldn't give him an answer, and no one could give him an answer.
So over time, he stopped thinking about this issue.
Anyway, he has raised himself to such an old age?
"Gu~~~"
And at this moment, Lu Jiu's stomach rang out in a bad mood.
Alas, that's all, even my biological parents have abandoned me,
It would be no big deal to be abandoned by a cat again.
Lu Jiu smiled like a self-deprecating smile and finally got up from the bed.
Looking at the water stains outside the window that had not been completely dried out even after being exposed to the summer sun for a whole day, Lu Jiu couldn't help but start to be glad that he didn't catch a cold because of the heavy rain last night.
After all, he had saved up his life for half a month after a meal of crayfish. He had been relying on odd jobs and government subsidies to live, and he could no longer afford the expensive medicine money.
However, five minutes later, Lu Jiu sighed and appeared at the door of Aunt Ge's supermarket.
There is no way, it’s hard for a good cook to cook without rice. It’s not that Lu Jiu is in a good mood so quickly and wants to go out for a walk. It’s because Lu Jiu’s family has no food.
When Lu Jiu's hand holding his mobile phone and looking at the three-digit account balance, he trembled slightly when he thought that the month had just passed one third.
But the house was leaking overnight, and the price was much cheaper than that of the supermarket in the city, but the supermarket was not open.
Only then did Lu Jiu remember that it seemed that after Aunt Ge beat her husband seriously injured three days ago, the supermarket never opened.
But I happened to be taking the college entrance examination those days, and my family prepared enough food, so I didn't notice it.
Do you really have to go to the city to buy food that is 10% more expensive than you usually do?
No, he did not give up, but logged in to the web page quickly and tentatively called out his own questions on Qiandu, the largest chat forum in the country:
"I would like to ask how to live healthy for half a month with two hundred Dongxia coins, urgently, online."
Sure enough, I received a lot of replies from netizens from all over the world.
"I can't help but wait to die."
"Two hundred yuan is still healthy. You think you have a knife coins in your hand!"
"Young man, I have a part-time job for you. As long as you have strong body, strong facial features, you will get a good income~ If you are interested, please contact 133xxxxxxxxxxxx."
A little black line suddenly appeared on Lu Jiu's head.
What do you mean by this?
It was agreed that there was a problem of thousands of degrees, but you didn't solve this problem for me.
You are exaggerating, you are an unscrupulous advertiser!
At this point, Lu Jiu, who was helpless, had to choose to go to the supermarket on the Food Street, spend more money and buy less things.
......
......
"Hey, have you heard that? The Blasting Gang fought with Hong Xing a few days ago, and several people died."
"Shh, whisper, didn't you see Xu Yi, the second-in-comman of the Fried Gang, eating barbecue next door? You're so loud, don't want to live?"
"Oh, then I'll whisper. Do you know? I heard that the bodies of those people are gone."
"real!!!?"
In Qin Yun Noodle Restaurant, Lu Jiu was pretending to pull the red oily noodles in front of him that had already seen the bottom of his eyes, but in fact he was pricking up his ears and listening to the gossip next door.
"Hey, you just told me to whisper. Now that I'm so loud, I'm not afraid of being beaten to death by the people from the Blast Gang."
"I'm sorry, I'm a little scared. What's going on? Let me listen to it?"
"I also heard from my wife's colleague's colleague's son of the third grandfather of her second aunt. It is said that these corpses were originally placed in the morgue of the Xijiao Cemetery. The two gangs were about to cremate together and buried in one tomb..."
After hearing the relationship network that almost made Lu Jiu faint, Lu Jiu decided not to be curious about this.
But it was just an urban legend fabricated by some troublemaker.
This kind of strange thing that has been heard about for hundreds of corners is not uncommon in Luochuan City, but in fact, it is mostly made up for entertainment after dinner, so it is not true.
Its authenticity is even worse than the talking lobster I have ever experienced.
Well, in fact, Lu Jiu is not sure if there was a lobster that had actually been injured by his hand and even spoke to others.
Although the wound on the hand is still there, after all, I have not found any evidence at home that can prove its existence, so I can only think that it has never existed.
And at this moment, a loud shout full of hostility accompanied by the shattering of the beer bottle, suddenly attracted Lu Jiu's attention.
