under the vortex

Chapter 7

After taking two pictures, Lu Maowang still wanted to take a picture with Wen Jun alone. Seeing Wen Jun's resistance, Bai Mashan put down his phone and said to her, "Xiao Jia, did you bring rhubarb?"

In fact, he had seen Rhubarb a long time ago, so he just wanted to find a way for Jia Wenjun to leave Lu Maowang who was pestering him.

"Yes, I'm a little worried about leaving him at home." Jia Wenjun naturally saw that Brother Bai wanted to help her, so she pulled the dog and walked towards him.

As soon as Baima Mountain called Rhubarb's name, the dog wagged its tail and came forward to show its kindness. Even Jia Wenjun, who was holding the dog leash, was forced to take two steps closer to Baima Mountain.

Lu Maowang didn't want to lose the opportunity to get along with Jia Wenjun just like that, so he leaned over and said along Wenjun's words: "It's really troublesome to raise this beast, it's so big, it poops more than people, if it loosens the whole living room It's over."

Jia Wenjun was a little queasy, and didn't want to answer a word. If it wasn't for her status as a property manager, she would turn around and leave immediately.

Baimashan smiled when he heard the words: "This dog is well trained and rarely defecates anywhere."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Maowang, who was still by Jia Wenjun's side, and said, "Boss Lu, your eyes are very red, and the strong light at sea is very irritating. Aren't you afraid that it will aggravate the inflammation?"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't I wear sunglasses?" Lu Maowang didn't look at Jia Wenjun when he was talking, and later realized that she might have been frightened by his red eyes, so he quickly picked up the sunglasses and put them on.

Sun Jiaojiao on the side smiled and said, "Doctor Bai, I told you that as long as there is alcohol, he is not afraid of anything. The reflection of light on the sea is nothing. If you are drunk and close your eyes, nothing will happen."

Lu Maowang laughed: "That's the reason."

"Hey, do you know what's in Boss Lu's fishing box?" Sun Jiaojiao smiled and exposed Lu Maowang's old background: "That big box is not fishing tackle at all, it was full of fishing tackle from my shop last night." A case full of wine. He is not here to fish, but to drink with you on the boat." Sun Jiaojiao smiled charmingly, and pinched Lu Maowang's arm, but Lu Maowang had been doing physical work all year round, and his muscles were tight. He couldn't pinch, and Lu Maowang didn't feel pain or itch.

Seeing that Sun Jiaojiao was about to come over to pinch her, Boss Lu hurriedly hid in Baima Mountain, not out of fear of pain, if he usually drank in her shop, it would be fine if the two of them were fighting, but now that Jia Wenjun is here, he He didn't want to have too much physical contact with Sun Jiaojiao, for fear that Jia Wenjun would think too much.

But he didn't know, his thoughts were just overthinking, Jia Wenjun didn't pay attention to him at all, her attention was all on the other owners, and she was far away from him.

Lu Maowang wanted to find her, but Sun Jiaojiao pulled him to talk again, and there was Baima Mountain dragging beside him, so he could only stay where he was, looking at Jia Wenjun in the distance from time to time.

"This is a rare opportunity to board the boat. I want to have a drink with Brother Bai." Lu Maowang's shop and Baimashan Pet Hospital are adjacent shops on the same street, and they are familiar with each other on weekdays, but Baimashan rarely goes to Sun. Although they are old acquaintances at Jiaojiao Restaurant, they have never eaten or drank together.

"Take it easy, don't really make your illness serious." Sun Jiaojiao reminded Lu Maowang, seeing that he was not drunk and would not return.

"What's wrong, young man?" Aunt Lin with extremely black hair and traces of newly dyed hair on her forehead came to talk to her slowly.

"Ms. Lin, Boss Lu's facial nerves are paralyzed, he's drunk out of alcohol." Sun Jiaojiao spoke quickly, turning her head and talking to others.

Her voice was not low, and the owners who were chatting not far away all turned their heads and looked over.

Jia Wenjun thought it was no wonder, when Lu Maowang stared at her just now, she felt that his expression was not quite right.

Teacher Lin was very enthusiastic, and said to Lu Maowang: "Young man, you are still so young, this disease should be treated as soon as possible. My son is a doctor of acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine. He is in Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The technology is very good, and your disease can be cured very quickly. I Give you a call, call him directly when you go, tell him that you are my neighbor, and he will treat you carefully."

When Mr. Lin mentioned his son, he couldn’t stop talking. He used to say that his son was filial when he met everyone. The house he lives in now was bought for her by his precious son. As long as he mentions his son, Mr. Lin is 100 times proud. All the outside reveals a theme: the son is filial, and the doctor can make money.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, give me the phone too. I want to see my waist when I go back to Beijing in a while." The person who spoke was a hale and hearty old man with silver hair. They all have real estate, and like migratory birds every year, they fly to the south for the winter when it’s cold, and fly to the seaside for vacation when it’s hot.Because I like fishing, I come to Hong Kong almost every year for the summer.

"No problem, Brother Wang, I'll write to you right away." Teacher Lin smiled and gave out his son's phone number.

"Mr. Lin, here are pens and paper." Seeing Aunt Lin looking for pens everywhere, Jia Wenjun dug out the post-it notes and pens from his bag and handed them over.

"Xiao Jia, you are still considerate. Thank you." Aunt Lin took the things with a smile.

Mr. Wang also said beside him, "Xiao Jia, I haven't seen you for a year, and you look beautiful again."

"Uncle Wang, you are getting younger and younger." Jia Wenjun laughed.

"Hahaha, I just like talking to Xiao Jia. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."

Jia Wenjun smiled and said, "I think so too."

"Xiao Jia, is this your dog?" Mr. Lin asked when he saw a dog following Jia Wenjun.

"Yes." Jia Wenjun patted Rhubarb's head: "It's quite obedient, this time we'll be on the boat with us, so you don't have to be afraid of it."

"Hey, why does this dog look familiar? Wait, does this dog belong to the little girl who jumped off the building?" Sun Jiaojiao's sharp eyes saw the collar on the dog's body, and she instantly remembered what happened before: "It's the little girl who jumped off the building." Girl, I used to eat in our store often, and there was a man with her, and they brought this dog with them when they came. This dog is called Wangcai, right, Wangcai, Wangcai?"

Sun Jiaojiao tried to call the dog, and sure enough, when the dog heard Zeng's name, it wagged its tail at her and barked a few times.

"Look, I'm not mistaken, it's the little girl's dog."

Everyone turned their attention to Jia Wenjun, and she could only explain with a smile: "This dog really belongs to that little girl. After she had an accident, no one took care of the dog. Every day I searched for food in the garbage pile of the community. I think it is pitiful." Just keep it."

Baimashan also chimed in: "Xiao Jia is a caring person. I couldn't bear to see it wandering, so I took it home and raised it myself."

"Xiao Jia, you are such a kind child. Such a good dog won't live long on the streets. It will definitely be eaten by other wild dogs." Teacher Lin's wrinkled face and black hair formed a strong In contrast, she lowered her voice and asked Jia Wenjun, "Oh, what happened to the little girl who jumped off the building, do you know the inside story?"
