"!!!"
"???"
The male clerk and the girl were confused.
The willfulness and arrogance between this eyebrows of this girl, who was very mature and eye-catching, had completely disappeared, replaced by confusion.
After being stunned for two seconds, she finally reacted, with panic on her face. She raised her hands stiffly and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Brother, brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't scold you, please let me go..."
Zhou Qi was speechless: "As for you, it's just a matter of two hundred yuan."
The girl almost burst into tears when she heard this.
Is this my business? ?
I also want to ask you if it’s okay...
The girl managed to take a step back, her throat finally no longer feeling the tension of being pointed at by the tip of a knife, but she did not dare to retreat further, her face was still pale and her voice trembled: "I don't have money, I have to spend money to buy these." chant……"
"..." Zhou Qi looked at her outfit in surprise, and then realized that she didn't even have a bag.
It looks quite fashionable, but it’s actually because of the three-dimensional facial features.
The delicate makeup is due to the dim light outside. Now, you can clearly see the haggardness behind her foundation.
It turns out she is so down and out.
Zhou Qi thought.
At this moment, the male clerk on the side whispered: "Brother, don't be impulsive. It's a crime..."
Before he finished speaking, the girl turned around and glared at him.
The male clerk was stunned for a moment before he realized that he shouldn't say this now.
What if this "knife-wielding robber" is irritated? Are you afraid that the girl won't die quickly enough?
So he didn't dare to speak.
The girl was so angry.
I want you to say something useful, not to shut you up!
At the critical moment, I really can’t point to anyone...
So she spoke again:
"Brother, you robbed the wrong person. Look, this is a supermarket. You should just rob him. The money is in the cashier. What's the use of robbing a customer... Besides, if you don't rob, you just want to If you want this thing, just take it and go, there is no need to rob me..."
"oh……"
After Zhou Qi heard what she said, he nodded thoughtfully and took back the knife.
The girl stepped back and took a deep breath, then quietly reached for her phone.
The male clerk was already ready to point the finger at him.
at this time,
Zhou Qi suddenly laughed: "It's just a little joke, don't be afraid."
"..."
The two smiled awkwardly but politely.
Is this a joke?
Waiting for you to leave, it will be over to see if we call the police and catch you...
But in the end, each of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl felt that since the knife was not on her neck, she at least had room for maneuver.
The male clerk thought that as long as he didn't actually use the knife...
The two of them just stood there, not daring to urge any more, just staring at Zhou Qi.
But Zhou Qi's behavior was strange.
He lowered his head and used the tip of the knife to cut open the edge of his shorts.
Then, use your hands to take out an electronic mechanical component from inside.
Under the confused gazes of the two people, Zhou Qi threw it on the checkout counter, and then spoke again: "My phone is out of battery and I can't pay the bill, so I took the thing away... You can wait, there is this thing, Someone will come to give you money...or if you can't wait, you can just call the police and tell them my name is Zhou Qi."
As he said that, he threw the fruit knife on the cashier and looked at the girl: "This is for you, Guan Yue. It's so late, girls should pay attention to their safety."
After saying that, he turned around and left with the plastic bag.
"Ah?" The girl didn't react for a moment.
The supermarket door opens,
Zhou Qi walked out and closed the door smoothly.
at this time……
Behind the shelves, a slightly plump female clerk rushed over while shouting——
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Were you at Mingyang Lake just now..."
"……Forehead."
She only saw two people standing motionless in front of the cashier.
The person she wanted to question was already gone.
——
Zhou Qi kept stuffing food into his mouth as he walked.
Movements are natural and quick.
There was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
But after all, his clothes and appearance are quite poor, and in the eyes of outsiders, he still looks a bit embarrassed.
Many passers-by looked at me from time to time, either with ridicule, contempt, or pity.
Zhou Qi didn't care.
At this moment, the time is close to midnight, the night sky is not so foggy, and the moon can be vaguely seen.
Vehicles are still coming and going.
The people walking on the road are different from those during the day. Whether they are young people in fashionable clothes or gray-faced middle-aged people, there is no vitality.
It gives people a heavy, muddy, not-so-good feeling.
Zhou Qi could easily see the indulgent laziness or frustrated exhaustion in them.
Well, when people stay up late, their body's hormones are disrupted, which will naturally promote the growth of negative emotions.
But there is never a shortage of people in the city at night.
...Under the streetlight, Zhou Qi threw the finished packaging bag into the trash can.
At this time,
A few young men who seemed to have just drank wine walked out of a barbecue restaurant not far away, talking nonsense about breakups and relationships.
"vomit!"
One of them vomited.
Zhou Qi didn't look much, turned around and continued walking.
...Actually, it’s pretty good.
In this life, if a person can escape natural disasters, escape wars, not meet bad people, not get seriously ill, and just live an ordinary life, he will be very, very lucky.
In the face of so many sudden accidents, ordinary days are particularly precious...
Wow!
A small cluster of shared bicycles was blown over by the wind not far away.
This time, Zhou Qi did not ignore them, but stepped forward and calmly helped them up——
He actually already knows how to find his feelings and how to integrate into ordinary people's lives.
To observe, to understand, to reach out and help them.
Not long ago, on the bridge, he was misunderstood by Wang Ping and wanted to commit suicide, and he listened to some sincere words of persuasion. At that time, his heart was touched.
Later, he followed that feeling and went to save the girl.
As the crowd cheered, he felt that the emotions that had been buried in his heart for a long time began to sprout.
So Zhou Qi understood that when he helps others and gets feedback from them, his inner feelings will be awakened...
——
This night.
In surveillance cameras all over the city, a young and thin figure wearing a black coat appears from time to time.
He always walked in one direction with steady and firm steps.
The posture is freehand and natural.
If something falls down, pick it up;
When you see something blocking your way, move it aside;
If you see someone dropping something, help him pick it up;
When you meet a frustrated person sitting on the roadside, give him a piece of bread and say a word of encouragement...
It's all little things that can be done at a glance.
It doesn't look like much.
But flowers swayed and bloomed in the hearts of those he had helped...
——
A few hours later.
College Road,
Next to China Overseas University, Qinghe Park.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the place was deserted and not a single person was around.
Zhou Qi walked in along the path.
We walked into the quiet chirping of insects.
Um……
Because his phone was broken and he had no money, he didn't want to go back to his dormitory in the middle of the night and disturb his roommates.
Going to a hotel is not like going to a supermarket.
Or get kicked out.
Or he would have to trouble others to come and help him.
That would be contrary to his original intention.
tonight,
At least it was only tonight, he wanted to enjoy it alone, a world without the end of the world...
