Tian Mingzhi's boat was parked at sea for more than two hours, and Lu Ao caught more than 20 fish with his fishing rod, most of which were black snapper, five Shijiugong and two white fish. In addition to Lu Ao

The black sea bream I ate, and these fish together could be sold for more than a thousand yuan.

Hu Xingjin kept watching Lu Ao fishing from the side. Seeing his fruitful results, he was extremely envious. On the way back, he kept pestering Lu Ao to learn fishing from him. Lu Ao felt sleepy after eating enough, and said lazily: "I can't do it with my talent."

Teach others.”

"Even if it's talent, it also has some skills, right?" Hu Xingjin looked at Lu Ao eagerly, "Is there really nothing to teach?"

More than two hours, more than a thousand yuan, even if he only learns one-tenth of it and catches fifty yuan of fish in one hour, it is enough for him to reach the pinnacle of his life!

Hu Xingjin begged for help, but when he returned to the dock, Lu Ao didn't let go.

Hu Xingjin was very disappointed.

When they arrived at the pier, the two parties were about to separate. Tian Mingzhi said hurriedly: "Lu Ao, wait a moment. We will sell the fish first. This is the fish you caught. You can keep the money."

Lu Ao said: "I'll give you the fish. If you bring out the boat and fishing rod, just give me a hundred yuan and I'll take a taxi back."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Lu Ao shook his head, "I'm troubling you today."

Tian Mingzhi and the others tried to persuade him, but Lu Ao still insisted on only one hundred.

The three of them had no choice but to give Lu Ao one hundred dollars in cash.

Before the two parties parted ways on the pier, Tian Mingzhi hurriedly borrowed pen and paper from a nearby shop and wrote a WeChat ID to Lu Ao: "Lu Ao, let's make friends and go fishing and drinking together when we have time."

Lu Ao answered the call, nodded to them, walked to the roadside, took a taxi and left.

The fare from the pier to his home was sixty-seven, and the remaining thirty-three was just for buying some food at the small restaurant next door.

The small restaurant is called Lao Zhang Dumpling Shop. It has been open here for more than ten years and is very familiar with the nearby neighbors.

Lu Ao went over and knocked on the counter.

Lao Zhang was taking a nap when he woke up with a knock. He opened his mouth in his sleepy eyes, "Want to eat something... Lu Ao! Your kid is back?!"

Lao Zhang hurriedly stood up and shouted inside: "Wife, wife, Lu Ao is back!"

His wife poked her head out of the kitchen and was surprised to see it was Lu Ao, "Lu Ao! It's really you! Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I was washed up on a desert island. I was just brought back by a fishing boat." Lu Ao said, "I'll come over and pack some dumplings."

"What kind of package? Just eat it here, it's fresh, my aunt will cook it for you right away! Or is it cabbage and pork?"

Lu Ao nodded and smiled: "Excuse me, auntie, it's still cabbage and pork. I want two portions, and more chili sauce and vinegar."

"You sit down first, I'll put down the dumplings right away. Lao Zhang, get some drinks for Lu Ao, aren't there pies and beef in sauce? Give Lu Ao some heat to pad his belly!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang are both in their fifties and have a small business. They live in this small dumpling shop and are reluctant to hire anyone.

Lu Ao's small supermarket is right next to it, and he usually helps with the moving and lifting. If he needs to repair something, he doesn't need to call out to Lao Zhang. Lu Ao will fix it when he sees it.

He has a cold face and is so handsome that people outside don't dare to talk to him. However, their neighbors here know that he has a good temper and is a very nice person.

Lao Zhang chuckled twice and went to the refrigerator to get pies, cold dishes, beer, etc. The pies and soy sauce beef were heated in the microwave, and the other two things were placed directly on Lu Ao's table.

Lu Ao was not polite to him and started eating directly.

Seeing him like this, Lao Zhang asked: "Are you hungry? Eat slowly."

Lu Ao hummed, and with an elegant posture and brutal speed, he finished off a plate of cold dishes in a few strokes.

Lao Zhang hurriedly brought over two hot pies and a plate of sauced beef, and Lu Ao quickly finished them.

While watching him eat, Lao Zhang said: "The police have been here in the past two days. When you come back, go to the police station and tell me. Don't worry, those gangsters have been arrested. The crimes committed by the gangster leader are worthy of being shot."

.”

Lu Ao nodded.

Lao Zhang added: "That loan shark, Liao Hekang, defrauded other people of their money. The police are catching him, but he ran away and is now a fugitive."

Lao Zhang knew what Lu Ao was concerned about and told him the news one by one.

Lu Ao nodded.

Lao Zhang's wife, Zhao Xuelan, came out with dumplings, wringing her red fingertips, feeling very guilty: "It's all my fault this time, for introducing you to such a rotten person. I can't help you, so I want to apologize to you."

.”

Lu Ao shook his head, "I don't blame you. I know people and faces but don't know their hearts. You are doing it for my own good."

Zhao Xuelan's eyes immediately turned red. She picked up her apron and wiped her eyes with the inside of her apron.

Something happened to Lu Ao. She didn't sleep for several nights and lost several kilograms.

Lu Ao is twenty-four years old this year. Most people of this age in their area have already started a family or are preparing to start a family.

He is special, he doesn't love women, he only likes men.

He has no relatives here, and he doesn't hide it.

A group of neighbors knew about it, and except for a few who really couldn't stand it, most of them felt that it was a private matter and did not affect their interactions with Lu Ao.

Zhao Xuelan was also enthusiastic. Seeing that Lu Ao was alone and lonely, guarding his small supermarket every day, and he didn't even have many friends, he asked around a lot, and finally found out about a young man who likes men as much as Lu Ao, and has a good appearance and a good family background.

, and introduced him to Lu Ao.

Who would have known that that man was a bad gambler who owed a lot of loan sharks behind his back, and also implicated Lu Ao.

Forget about the guilt Zhao Xuelan felt these past two days.

Lao Zhang patted his wife and said, "Lu Ao is hungry. You go and cook more."

Zhao Xuelan wiped her eyes again and responded with a nasal voice, "Hey, Lu Ao, do you want to eat egg pancakes? I'll spread out some pancakes for you to eat, and put some pickled cabbage and garlic chili sauce on them."

Lu Ao said without hesitation, "Eat!"

Lao Zhang and Zhao Xuelan were afraid that Lu Ao would be hungry, so they brought him a lot of things.

From a plate of cold appetizers at the beginning, to two pies and a plate of soy sauce beef, to five plates of staple food dumplings, and a large plate of egg pancakes at the end, the total of these things weighs at least five or six kilograms, not to mention the land.

Ao also drank half a bottle of beer.

When Lao Zhang saw that Lu Ao had swept away all the food and his wife was still making dumplings in the kitchen, he glanced at Lu Ao's thin chest and abdomen with concern, "Are you full?"

Lu Ao paused and hesitated, "Should I be full?"

Lao Zhang hurriedly lowered his voice and moved closer, "It's not that I won't let you eat. You may be too hungry and you won't feel full for a while. Don't be exhausted."

Lu Ao reacted, picked up the last two dumplings with thin skin and large fillings on the plate, dipped them in red oil chili sauce and vinegar, stuffed them into his mouth, nodded and said: "I'm full."

Lao Zhang happily shouted to the kitchen: "Honey, Lu Ao is full."

Zhao Xuelan raised her voice and confessed: "When you're full, watch TV and wait a minute. I'll cook two pots of dumplings and you can take them back to eat at night -"

Lu Ao didn't have any money with him, so he refused: "No, thank you, Auntie, I can't even take food with me."

"What's wrong? You don't usually give us less things?" Zhao Xuelan ran out and said firmly: "I have cooked the dumplings. If you don't eat them, they will be cooked and won't be sold. It's a waste."

Lao Zhang helped by saying, "Just take it, the dumplings we make ourselves don't cost much."

Lu Ao then sat back down again.

In fact, he didn't have much to eat, so he might as well have brought two more dumplings back, and he could just repay the favor later.

Zhao Xuelan happily went back to cooking dumplings.

She took out four large lunch boxes and cooked them for Lu Ao. She also put spicy sauce, sour vinegar and side dishes on top. She took them out and stuffed them into Lu Ao's hands, and said, "You go back and put them in the refrigerator. You can take them out and heat them up at night and then you can eat them."

Lu Ao was carrying the bag. The two bags of dumplings were heavy, weighing at least seven or eight kilograms.

"Okay, thank you Auntie, I'll go back then."

"Hey, have a good rest."

Lu Ao's house is right next to it. His family is a single family. There is a small supermarket on the first floor. He uses the second and third floors daily. The entrance to the small supermarket is not in the same direction as the entrance to his home. When he goes home, he has to turn into a small alley to enter.

.

He went up to the second floor from the side stairs, took out the spare key from the abandoned bird's nest in the tree outside, and opened the door.

The home was exactly the same as before he left that day, no change at all, except that there was a faint musty smell in the air that the owner had been absent for a long time.

Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief, put the dumplings on the table, made sure the door was locked, and immediately went to the bathroom to see what he looked like now.

The person in the mirror has extremely white skin, because he is relatively thin, with abnormally smooth lines on his face, handsome eyebrows and a high nose, and a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Lu Ao stared at the mirror. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt a green flash in his pupils.

A very deep dark green.

If you look carefully, you will see that the green color is gone again.

Not only his eyes, but also his teeth seemed to be a bit pointier, and the canines were more obvious. He grinned slightly, which looked weird. If he looked closely, it seemed like it was an illusion again.

He licked the tips of his teeth.

Except for some slight changes in his eyes and teeth, his body is the same as before, even the faint red mole on his wrist is still there.

Lu Ao stared at the mirror for a long time. He took off his clothes and looked at his body.
