There is Taotie in Beishan

Midday on the moon.

The bright moonlight is oppressed by the colorful and flickering artificial lights in the city center, and there is no trace to be found. The fluorescent lamps are scorching, and the neon lights are mottled, intertwining a grotesque scene, which disturbs the original ecological light, so we have to find a quiet courtyard. , shrinking aggrievedly.

Gu Wei stood in the yard, looked up at the lonely moon, raised his hand, took a deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and quietly watched the white smoke dissipate in the air.

Forget it.

Turning around, Gu Wei stared fixedly at the small courtyard covered by the moonlight. Every plant, every tree, every mountain, every rock, every bridge and every pavilion, imitated the layout of a Suzhou garden. It was made with a little bit of thought, and the road was rough, but that's all.

He raised his steps and walked slowly, walked through the small landscaped rockery and the corridor of hanging flowers, pushed open the antique-designed carved door, and saw the logo of "Binhong Pavilion" in his eyes. The living room was spacious and comfortable, but there was no light , Heigulongdong is a bit scary, the front desk, the chef and the waiters don't live here, and now he is alone.

Gu Wei is not afraid, this place is as close as his own child, no, he probably has no biological child in this life, this small restaurant is the only place he has never kissed.Pushing open the back door, the right side leads to the box, the left side is the warehouse and the fully open back kitchen, he habitually walked to the left side, and then in this supposedly quiet and sad night, he heard some extremely discordant voices ——

Click, click, click, click, click.

Gu Wei: "...?"

Into the mouse?

In a high-end restaurant like Binhong Pavilion, which is famous for its reputation and quality, it is no small matter for mice to enter the warehouse. Reflecting the light, there is a cold metallic luster, and the ingredients that can be placed at room temperature are stacked on it. On the right hand side of the room is the door of the large cold storage, which is locked tightly at the moment, and there are a few cheap and durable large trees piled up in the corner. Chinese cabbage.

And now, these Chinese cabbages have been peeled clean, surrounded by a... person?

The boy of seventeen or eighteen was wearing thin clothes, only a light brown pullover sweater and jeans, curled up in a corner, with thin white and long fingers protruding from the slightly longer sleeves of the sweater, holding a piece of cabbage like a small hamster , handed it to his mouth and gnawed.

Being pierced by the light, the young man shuddered suddenly, looked up in panic, and saw Gu Wei standing at the door at a glance, got up in fright and wanted to run, the only door was blocked, he turned a few times hastily After a circle, he finally pulled open the heavy door of the cold storage, and slid into it all at once!

Gu Wei was so frightened that he dropped his cigarette, for a moment he didn't know where to start the shock.

Was it the "thief" who shocked Yu Binhong Pavilion, or was there someone in the world who could gnaw cabbage gang, or... this skinny little thing opened the cold storage door by brute force? !

But these seem to be discussed later, Gu Wei stomped out the cigarettes on the ground, walked quickly to pull the door of the cold storage, just opened a crack, was pulled back forcefully.

"Well, kid, you come out first, the temperature inside is too low." Gu Wei was a little anxious, the child didn't wear enough clothes, and he had to pay for it if he froze inside.

A tender, crying voice came from inside: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't hit me, I'm too hungry, I won't steal any more, I'm sorry."

Gu Wei felt very sore in his heart, he grew up so big, it was the first time he saw a hungry person eating cabbage, and he was still such a small child, pitifully piercing the heart.

"I won't hit you, it's okay, you come out." Gu Wei persuaded very patiently.

It's a pity that the people inside were so frightened that their thinking was confused, and they didn't seem to hear what he said, and the crying became more and more obvious: "I'm sorry, I heard that you don't want the outermost leaves of cabbage, I only ate the broken ones Ye Zi, really, don't hit me."

Gu Wei repeated again: "I know, I don't blame you, really."

God!Gu Wei's heart was almost broken, whose child is this?This is abused, right?

The poor little girl hiding in the cold storage shivered and cried softly for a long time, while Gu Wei squatted outside and coaxed him in fear for a long time, and finally had an idea.

"Are you still hungry? You can't get enough of cabbage. Come out and I'll cook for you."

Suddenly there was no sound inside.Gu Wei was wondering if he had passed out from the cold, when he saw the door opened a small crack, and a pair of big, bright black eyes looked at him expectantly.

"really?"

Gu Wei tremblingly held the piece of broken heart in his heart: "Really, baby."

What a crime!Don't talk about food, I will give you my life!

The door was opened a little wider, and half of the boy's chubby face was exposed, with clear teardrops on his eyelashes: "Yes, do you have meat... No, it doesn't matter if you don't, I'm not picky eaters."

Gu Wei: "Yes, yes, chicken, duck, fish, beef, sheep, pigs, whatever you want."

The young man was finally coaxed out by a meal of meat. He stood with his back against the door frame, rubbing his toes timidly together. Only then did Gu Wei realize that the boy didn't even wear a pair of shoes, and he was just wearing a pair of bare shoes. Bai Shengsheng's feet stepped on the icy cold floor.

Gu Wei frowned, knelt down and touched his instep, it was as cold as ice, it was already frozen through.

So the old shameless Gu Erliuzi rubbed his hands expectantly, picked up the very thin boy and carried him away.

There is a layer of fluffy fabric under the palm, and there is a faint skin feeling. It is soft and looks like some meat. It seems that it is not starved. Gu Wei is relieved from the bottom of his heart, and feels very pity. I'm afraid it's for my parents—maybe I can't tell which one is the last one, the one who was abused couldn't bear it anymore and ran away from home.Look, such a well-behaved, good-looking, and vicious person is the only one who has done such a vicious trick!Gu Wei's thoughts spread, and in an instant, a tragic life experience of divorced parents, vicious stepmother, and arrogant younger siblings involuntarily settled on the young man.

Far away in a cave in Beishan, a strange animal with tiger teeth, human claws and sheep body sneezed violently, causing the birds and beasts on the half of the mountain to run away in fear that it would wake up hungry at night and catch someone who ran away. Take it slow for supper.

The two-horned winged sphinx next to it stretched out its big paws and lazily pawed at the ground. Taotie scratched its nose and pushed it: "My son has been running away for several days, he won't be hungry."

Pixiu shook his head impatiently: "You are so stupid, you just worry about it, there are people under the mountain, can't people eat?"

Taotie leaned back on his front paws resentfully, thinking: Don't you know about your own son, just like him, let alone cannibalism, it's almost as good as being eaten by others!

Knowing son Moruo father.

The little gluttonous Pixiu hybrid beast who hadn't had a full meal after going down the mountain was sitting on the small bench at the door of the back kitchen, with tears in his eyes, gobbling it voraciously.

Gu Wei intends to cook him a big meal, ideally including the flavors of all countries at home and abroad across eight major cuisines, but seeing his fiery eyes that are about to stare at the pork, he is afraid that he will go crazy with hunger, so he ordered it first For a bowl of noodles, the mushrooms are fresh and tender, the shredded meat is delicate, the noodles are chewy, and the vegetables are juicy. The person on the other side almost ate the bowl.

"What's your name?" Gu Wei wore an apron, and also pulled a small stool to sit opposite him, watching him eat.

At two or three o'clock in the morning, the night is deep and the deep sleep is the most sound. The back kitchen of Binhong Pavilion emits warm light and dense fragrance, and the two sit opposite each other, separated by the steaming heat.

"Tao Xiu, his nickname is Beishan." Beishan's words were vague, but Gu Wei still heard clearly. The person opposite had bulging cheeks, half of his face buried in a bowl, and he was snoring and eating noodles quickly. It was not very elegant, but Surprisingly cute, does appearance determine everything?

"Beishan...Okay, okay, Beishan, don't drink soup," Gu Wei stretched out his hand and pressed down his empty bowl, and asked symbolically, "Are you full?"

Unexpectedly, Beishan on the opposite side was really cool, and shook his head sincerely: "No."

Gu Wei stiffened for a moment, and said, "You are too hungry, you can't eat a lot at once."

Beishan complied obediently, but refused to let go of the empty bowl. He scooped up the chopsticks in it, nimbly picked up a piece of shredded meat that slipped through the net, happily stuffed it into his mouth, squinted his eyes and chewed.

Gu Wei's old heart was hit again, tremblingly helped the table to stand up, and went to cook the noodles.

After more than half an hour, Beishan couldn't sit down on the small bench. He leaned back slightly to leave room for his full stomach. His comfortable body exuded joy, like a cat licking its paws. Cozy.

As for Gu Wei, judging by the appetite of a 26-year-old adult man, he thinks that he probably found the reason why Xiao Beishan was kicked out of the house-a child of seventeen or eighteen can eat three meals, don't raise a child. Are you sorry?

Beishan's stomach was busy digesting, and his brain didn't turn around much. He yawned a lot, and the sleepiness opened the floodgate and surged up.The little beast has not yet been infected with the various atmospheres of human society, and its thinking is still at the initial stage of motherhood, so it said to its owner: "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

After finishing speaking, he felt impolite, and added: "May I sleep in your room?"

Gu Wei: It is a great honor to wish for it!

He quite liked this handsome young man, but although he was not a gentleman, he was not a rascal enough to turn on the bed when he saw anyone, so he said, "Of course, there are many rooms...?"

Gu Wei took the dishcloth and was dumbfounded.

The child, the moment he heard him say "of course", slid down from the small stool, curled up in the corner, and fell asleep!

Beishan, who had slept in a cave for hundreds of years and slept in a bridge cave with a homeless man after going down the mountain, didn't feel anything was wrong, shrunk into a small ball, and soon lost consciousness.

Gu Wei really wanted to run out and cry.

What a fucking day!

He wiped off the water on his hands, leaned over and picked him up, turned off the kitchen light, walked into the small courtyard behind where he stayed, and placed Beishan in a guest room.
