A Real Man Isn’t Afraid of a Little Demon

The weather on the island will change as soon as it is said, it was still sunny and cloudless, but now there is a strong wind blowing on the ground, the sky is covered with overcast clouds, and a storm is coming.

Yu Chu lay on the window and looked outside with relish. The thugs on duty at the gate of the castle have put on raincoats and are busy running around, fixing the trees that look unstable. There is a palm tree opposite the gate. After the last strong wind, the main trunk has become a little skewed. Two thugs are nailing a wooden frame into the soil next to it, trying to support the trunk.

"Hey, you say it's not easy for you, right? It's called a machinery factory employee. In fact, not only do you have to be a thug, but you also have to do these chores." Yu Chu sighed. Said: "Although I am trapped on the island and can't get out, it seems that you are not much better. You can go ashore with one day off every month, right? I think, even if you go ashore that day, you will be watched by stalkers. , don't think about being at ease."

The TV in the house was on, Zhou Mu was sitting on the sofa opposite the TV, but he lowered his head and fiddled with something in his hands, and replied inadvertently, "I'm used to it, and I don't want to go ashore on the day of vacation. ."

Heavy rain was coming, it suddenly poured from the sky, Yu Chu quickly shrank his head and closed the window, but even so, there were some raindrops on his head.

He fiddled with a few strands of his hair that were slightly splashed with his hands, and asked, "What did you do before? Why did you come to this island?"

He thought that according to Zhou Mu's temper, he would not answer, but he unexpectedly said: "I used to work in Mr. Yu's machinery factory."

Yu Chu glanced at his back a little unexpectedly, and continued to ask: "What about before going to the machinery factory to work?"

He doesn't care about the people around him, including not very curious about what Yu Shiqing is doing. He always felt that he was just a passer-by to this world, and that these people were irrelevant to him. But Zhou Mu was different. There was an indescribable sense of contradiction in Zhou Mu, which kept making him want to find out.

"I opened a restaurant in my home town before, and once broke a customer's head, I fled to Haiyun City and entered Mr. Yu's machinery factory." Zhou Mu returned without looking up. Road, the tone is very flat.

After a while, Yu Chu asked incredulously, "That's it?"

"Or else?"

"Opening a restaurant and fighting with customers? Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Mu said, "You can ask Mr. Yu if you are funny or not, he should be very clear."

Yu Chu was a little disappointed. He thought that the mysterious Zhou Mu would have a vigorous past, but he didn't expect to open a restaurant in a small town, and then he fought with customers and fled to Haiyun. Moreover, it is impossible for Zhou Mu to make up this experience, because Yu Shiqing must have investigated his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, and will only accept him to Xingyuan Island after it is consistent with the facts.

Zhou Mu raised his head, looked at him from the back of the sofa, and said, "I'm sorry, I've let you down, I'm not a big boss who lost in a certain place, and I don't have a dozen burdens on my back. A life, let alone the robber Jiang Yang who is wanted by the police."

Yu Chu was not embarrassed to see through his mind, so he simply walked to the sofa and sat down beside him. Because the weather suddenly darkened and the lighting in the room was not very good, from Yu Chu's point of view, Zhou Mu's facial features were hidden in the darkness, but instead, the bridge of his nose was high and the outline of his face was more distinct.

He was holding a small piece of metal in his left hand, and his right hand was applying mechanical oil to it, looking very focused. Yu Chu's eyes fell on it, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Yu Chu stared at his nimble and slender fingers for a while, and suddenly asked without thinking: "You must cook deliciously, right?"

"Huh?" Zhou Mu didn't react for a while.

"Haven't you ever opened a restaurant? It must be delicious to cook."

Zhou Mu compared the length of the two pieces of metal and said, "It should be pretty good."

"Good business?"

"Full customer."

Because it was raining all the time, the two stayed indoors, Yu Chu curled up on the sofa watching TV, and Zhou Mu listened to the sound of the TV to do things.

Yu Chu was watching TV and eating snacks, and was amused by the cross talk jokes on the screen. It's just that when Zhou Mu passed by the sofa, he took the ice water he just took out of the refrigerator from his hand and handed him a cup of steaming hot water.

"You're committing a crime from the following, not an example." Yu Chu volleyed at him with his finger.

Lugosa brought lunch to the room. She was obviously very dissatisfied with the two living together. Several eyes.

Zhou Mu was a little puzzled. After Rugosa went out, he was still frowning and thinking. Yu Chu knew a little bit, but he didn't tell him. He just admired his confused appearance and felt very comfortable. Cool.

After lunch, Zhou Mu was lying on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone. Yu Chu went back to his bedroom to rest. When he passed by, he saw a small game displayed on his mobile phone.

Yu Chu was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Half an hour passed, but she still did not sleep at all. The bedroom door was not closed tightly, and she could hear the direction of the living room. From time to time, the animation dubbing from Zhou Mu's mobile phone came. . After turning over again, he faced the bookcase opposite, and caught sight of a kitten behind the transparent glass door.

The bookcase is quite large, occupying half of the wall, with a total of four floors, neatly arranged with various text books, and in front of one row, there is a half-slap-sized ceramic cat standing. The cat was painted blue, and the workmanship was not very good. The neck was too short, and the four feet were not the same length. It is estimated that the original body made it by himself.

Yu Chu stared at it for a while, then a sudden thought flashed in his mind, he quickly got up and went forward, opened the bookcase door, and took out the ceramic cat.

As soon as the cat arrived, he knew the key would not be in it, it was too light. Turn it over and turn it upside down, the bottom is really hollow and nothing is hidden.

Yu Chu put the cat back in place in disappointment, and when he was reaching out to close the cabinet door, he glanced at the books behind the cat, paused for a while, and pulled out one of them.

There are two young and serious words in the middle: Yu Chu. Because of the large number of strokes, the characters for Yu are much larger than the characters for Chu, apparently from the pen of a child.

He flipped through the middle and opened one of the pages.

I brought Dingding and Dangdang home, and they seemed to be very happy. I checked, and Dingding is called Phoenix Snail. The name is nice, but not as nice as the jingle.

The following is a picture drawn with a pencil. It is barely recognizable as two conch shells. In order to show that they are very happy, the conch is also drawn with smiling eyes.

Yu Chu touched the two conch shells with his fingers, the soft finger pulp felt the slight depression of the pencil writing, and then turned to the next page.

2008.2.16 I don’t know if it’s sunny or not, it rained and the sun came out again

Why does my mother want me to write a diary every day, my hands are so tired, my feet are so tired, my eyes are so tired, and my mouth is so tired. Well, today's diary is finished.

After school today, I saw my mother's eyes were red, she cried, I know it must have been my father. I want my father to come to see me, but when he comes, my mother will be sad.

2008.2.18 Yin

Today I fly a kite, my mood is hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

When Yu Chu saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched silently. Through these tender handwriting, he seemed to see a soft ball-like little boy who was quietly writing under the lamp. The little boy had nothing to do with him at first, but because of a time-travel, they were connected in a wonderful way, as if they were connected with each other, and he could even feel the happy mood of the little boy when he recorded.

The little boy in the diary is smart and sensitive. It is difficult for Yu Chu to connect him with the Yu Chu in everyone's mouth.

Stupid, timid, rigid, cowardly... If it was those years of growth that wiped out his agility, or it was - he was trying his best to hide himself.
