Chapter 3
Chapter 2 – No
As long as you think of me in this life, you can’t wait to kill me.
Listen, is this called human talk?
How could she, an employee of a tattoo parlor who had been working hard for two years, go to solicit business for adult massage parlors?
Still lying?
Zhou Yi stared at Mu Qinglin numbly.
Tsk, the expression is quite real.
Really true.
Zhou Yi suddenly felt a little unsure, and randomly picked up a few key words to recall.
Last winter, junkyards, massage parlors…
Standing still, Zhou Yi panicked from the cold, and habitually stuffed her hands in her pockets, trying to block the wind, but the medicine bag and steamed stuffed bun were still hanging on her wrists. Rolling up, there is no other use.
When the cold wind started to freeze his wrists, Zhou Yi’s memory gradually came back.
It seems that one day, because she couldn’t bear the mother-like nagging of her boss Tang Yuanzhou, she wrapped up a gown and dared to run away from home.
It was very cold that day, and the gown was a “local product” that Tang Yuanzhou brought her on a trip. It was as thin as paper. When she went out on her front feet, her back feet were frozen. But he didn’t want to go back and be talked about by Tang Yuanzhou, so he hid in the garbage dump with his hands.
It was a dead end, the wind couldn’t get in, and the location was very advantageous.
In the alley, there are her free-ranging cats and dogs, all of whom strayed here from nowhere, and usually run away when they are full, but she was so quick-eyed that day that she quickly detained one to chat with.
To be precise, it is unilateral language poisoning.
“That’s great, you don’t even need to wash your face, I want to be as shameless as you.”
“Why are you so dirty, did you go digging coal behind my back during the day?”
“Manual labor is very tiring, do you want to eat intestines?”
“Just one, nothing more.”
“Want me to feed you? There is no way, my hand can only press the head.”
“Hehe, you still want to bite me, you knocked your teeth.”
“…”
“It’s so cold—”
“Fat Choi, lend me your belly to warm your hands.”
“You are a stray cat, is being so fat worthy of your identity?”
“Hey, if you have something to say, talk it out, don’t go!”
“…” Zhou Yi made a fortune. When he chased him out of the alley, he was still hunched over. His vision was poor, so he bumped his head against a person’s leg. Only the other person’s chassis was stable, so she didn’t knock him down.
But just a few seconds when she was hesitating how to straighten her body up in embarrassment and politeness, her head suddenly sank, and she was forced down two inches by the man.
It was Fa Cai who was trembling with fright after attempting to escape.
Accompanied by a panicked “meow—” Zhou Yi’s ears were tightly grasped by Fa Cai’s claws.
The buzzing sound instantly overwhelmed the noisy voices, and Zhou Yi stayed where he was, bowing more than ninety degrees.
“Your cat?” came a voice from overhead.
Zhou Yi blinked and regained consciousness, “Yes…”
She raised her hand, and with an extremely slow movement, she plucked off the hair that longed to grow on her head, and then pulled out the hair that had just been plucked from the top of her head wrapped around her claws and threw it away one by one, then rubbed her scalp , Out of the corner of the eye, I finally saw the strange woman standing in front of me.
The outline is clean and smooth, and the facial features are stretched and majestic. Even if you look closely, you can’t find a sense of wrinkle.
Most of the long curly hair hangs behind her back, and it is estimated that she was randomly brushed with her hands. The few strands on her forehead are messy, which makes the sense of story between her eyebrows and eyes that has settled down over time even stronger.
This kind of beautiful but decent appearance is almost invisible in Hongmen Lane.
However, can beautiful women not wear cotton jackets?
Oh my goodness in December, a coat can keep your muscles stretched and your posture straighter? ?
Zhou Yi hugged Fa Cai to his abdomen calmly, so as to block the fluffy and fat down jacket. At the same time, he commented on Mu Qinglin in his heart: he is a good person, but that is to say, if you return the cat, you will return the cat. Is it not good to put it on your neck? Is it bad to put it on your back? What’s wrong with having to put it on your head?
It seemed a bit mean to say these words, Zhou Yi endured it, swallowed the words, and said, “Thank you…”
Mu Qinglin walked up to Zhou Yi and stood beside him, letting him out of the way, “Look, don’t let him run alone on the street, he jumped right under my feet just now. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, you would have collected his body if you chased him out. “
Zhou Yi frowned, it’s been less than four months since he made a fortune, and it’s not a dead end if someone really jumps under his feet.
The unhappiness in Zhou Yi’s heart dissipated immediately, “Understood, thank you.”
She said that Xie Wan felt that there was nothing to say, so he put Fa Cai on his shoulder and let him hide in the down jacket and hat.
Nai He Fa Cai had just experienced the moment of life and death, and his legs were still weak. As soon as Zhou Yi let go, it immediately flapped its claws and fell down. Mu Qinglin, who had been staring at it, scooped it up quickly and put it in Zhou Yi safely. in the hat.
That’s right, he owed another favor without turning his face.
Zhou Yi felt that it was unethical to just leave like this, so he took the initiative to speak up, “First time here?”
Mu Qinglin withdrew his index finger caught between Fa Cai’s two meat pads, rubbed it together, “You can see that?”
Zhou Yi, “I can’t tell, but there is no one I don’t know on this street. If there is, it must be the first time I have come here.”
Mu Qinglin admired Zhou Yi’s indistinct shamelessness due to overconfidence between the lines, so he was not polite to her, “Do you know how to get to the best tattoo shop on this street?”
“Must…” Zhou Yi snapped his fingers in his pocket and was about to speak, when he saw something at the end of his eyes, his expression changed suddenly, and he said hastily, “I suggest you don’t go, it will kill you!”
“It’s okay, you don’t need to pay for your life if you die.” Mu Qinglin said.
Zhou Yi was stunned, “None of my business?”
From the corner of the eye, the nimble figure is getting closer and closer.
Zhou Yi didn’t care much, so he casually pulled a small note with the address printed on it from under the small advertisement on the wall and stuffed it to Mu Qinglin, saying, “Here it is!”
After the words fell, he quickly ran away with the fortune in the hat.
—
Recalling this point, things have become very clear.
The address the note was referring to was a not-so-serious Thai massage parlor.
But can it depend on her?
The best tattoo shop in Hongmen Alley is theirs, and she is eager to bring a few more orders back home.
Unfortunately, she would run away from home that day. In addition to Tang Yuanzhou’s annoyance, she also pulled out the needle privately because her arm was too cold to hang in the water in winter.
After Tang Yuanzhou drew the picture, he found out that she had done a good thing. He chased after her like he was going to bury her. How could she dare to take someone to the shop for thunderstorms?
What’s more, this man just saved Fa Cai’s life.
This may be the legend of doing bad things with good intentions.
Zhou Yi sighed again, changed the subject and said, “I haven’t seen you since then, our shop is easy to inquire about.”
“Your shop?” Mu Qing asked with a smile: “Is there a grudge against the boss? The business is pushed out when it comes to the door.”
Zhou Yi did not tell Mu Qinglin the truth based on the principle of family ugliness not to be publicized, but only said: “Do you still have the tattoo? I will give you a 10% discount.”
Mu Qinglin, “Isn’t this discount better than just wiping it off?”
Zhou Yi smiled, “Taking advantage of being unfamiliar, how much reserved and sincere?”
Mu Qinglin, “OK…” followed by, “Let’s go…”
Chatting with such a sharp-tongued person is better than drinking alone to pass the time.
Mu Qing thought to herself.
Zhou Yi said “hmm”, and walked to the front to lead the way, shrugging his shoulders and shrinking his neck, walking slowly, more slowly than veteran cadres who are about to retire patrolling the streets.
Mu Qinglin watched from behind, inexplicably having the illusion that he could walk half a mile until dawn.
Fortunately, the total length of Hongmen Lane is only 1.3 kilometers.
“It’s here…” Zhou Yi stepped into the threshold, without moving his hands, pointed to the old plaque above his head with his thoughts and said, “The most awesome tattoo shop on this street——Buddha Demon…”
The end of Zhou Yi’s words was halfway through, and a male voice full of vigor suddenly came from the room, “You still know how to come back!”
The sound made Mu Qinglin freeze on the spot when she just stepped on the steps, she was very hesitant to continue walking inside, after all, she had never seen “cannibalism” in her life.
On the other hand, Zhou Yi skillfully took out the noise-cancelling earphones and put them on, then pulled up the hat to cover the ears, his movements were as fast as walking just now.
Soon, Tang Yuanzhou, who was shaved and tall, walked up to Zhou Yi, lifted his hat more skillfully than her, took off his earphones, and shouted at the top of his voice, “It’s just a matter of buying cold medicine. How long have you been there? If the owner of the pharmacy hadn’t known to call me to report that he was safe, I would have thought you were off to raise herbs and seedlings now!”
Zhou Yi’s disguise was seen through, and he didn’t look very happy.
Tang Yuanzhou snorted coldly, his mood still irritable, “You count the frequency of your colds this year! If this continues, should I buy you a coffin girder and keep it ready at any time?”
Zhou Yi leaned back, leaning his shoulder against the door frame, speaking slowly and harshly, “That’s so embarrassing, I want you, an old man, to cry for me.”
“You! Who are you?” Tang Yuanzhou suddenly turned his attention to Mu Qinglin who was quietly watching the battle.
Tang Yuanzhou is about to turn 40, he hasn’t learned how to keep in good health, and his temper is getting worse day by day. When he is in a bad mood, he sees whoever he sees, Zhou Yi is afraid that Mu Qinglin will suffer an unreasonable disaster because of himself, so he rushes ahead and says, “I’m here to get a tattoo.”
Tang Yuanzhou didn’t look at Zhou Yi, his eyes passed her, staring at Mu Qinglin, “Why do you look so familiar? It’s you!”
Tang Yuanzhou walked out quickly, with an excited expression, “Mu Qinglin! I haven’t seen you for a year, and I almost didn’t recognize you!”
Mu Qinglin smiled, “You have changed a lot.”
“White?” Tang Yuanzhou touched his chin and recalled: “When I met you, I had been in the southwest for more than two months, and it was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot.”
Mu Qinglin nodded and said bluntly, “Indeed…”
“Hahaha…” Tang Yuanzhou laughed loudly, “Didn’t you say that you would come to my place as soon as you return to Jiangping? Why did it take a year?”
“This—” Mu Qinglin glanced over Zhou Yi, who was confused by the scene in front of him, and said with a smile, “I’m here, I didn’t remember the house number, so someone went to a massage parlor. “
Tang Yuanzhou said angrily, “These grandsons!”
Zhou Yi, “…” Who are you scolding?
“Xiao Jiu, let me introduce someone to you.” Tang Yuanzhou suddenly turned around.
Zhou Yi didn’t have time to clean up his expression, and was staring at Mu Qinglin who had just sold himself very unfriendlyly. When Tang Yuanzhou found out, his tone suddenly became cold, “What kind of eyes are you? Last year, I encountered a landslide in order to find inspiration. Don’t you remember?”
how is this possible!
Just thinking about it now gives her a chill down her spine.
At that time, someone asked Tang Yuanzhou to order a picture at a high price. He was still dissatisfied with the drawing for two months, so he left his business and went to the southwestern border to find inspiration. In the end, he didn’t meet a living person in ten days and a half months. Hit a landslide.
There is only one end for being trapped in that kind of place – being eaten by wild beasts.
Fortunately, Tang Yuanzhou finally came back unscathed.
He said someone passed by and rescued him.
“The person who saved me was Mu Qinglin.” Tang Yuanzhou said.
Zhou Yi was surprised, and couldn’t help but look at Mu Qinglin a few more times, then straightened up and said sincerely: “Thank you…”
Mu Qinglin never felt that this matter was serious, and to her it was just a coincidence.
“It’s a little effort, please be polite.” Mu Qinglin said with a smile.
“Let’s go in and talk.” Tang Yuanzhou led Mu Qinglin inside, “It stands to reason that if I invite you, I must be the one who tattoos you personally, but I usually do more traditional Japanese styles, with large areas and exaggerated patterns. Basically, no female customers like it.”
Mu Qinglin, “Understood, you don’t need to take special care of me, as long as any master is free to arrange for me, or…”
Mu Qinglin’s gaze passed by Zhou Yi.
Tang Yuanzhou immediately said: “Xiao Jiu can’t do it! Her pictures are valuable and she has no craftsmanship.”
Mu Qinglin didn’t think about it, just saw her shivering from the cold, and wanted to remind her that the plastic bag stuck on her wrist was about to blow her sleeve to the sky.
Mu Qinglin felt deeply guilty.
What Tang Yuanzhou said just now was too direct, Zhou Yi…
Zhou Yi opened his mouth in a persuasive tone, “Really, I only have one or two knives, and the secant lines can’t even cut evenly.”
“…” The psychological quality is a little better.
Mu Qinglin’s interest was suddenly aroused.
“I’m not too demanding.” Mu Qinglin said.
Zhou Yi glanced at her, turned around, walked to the chair next to the electric radiator and sat down, skillfully swayed back, propped up the two chair legs, and said calmly: “With my skill and state, if I really Tang Yuanzhou had to work hard to cover up a sneeze that made his hands shake and ruin his skin. Anyway, if you think about it, come here if you are not afraid.”
Mu Qinglin approached, “What’s the worst?”
“That’s just…” Zhou Yi suddenly smelled a smell, and silently retracted his foot that was hit by the radiator, looked at the small piece of scalded skin on the toe of the shoe, and said heartbrokenly, “In this life As long as you think of me, you want to bite me to death.”
