Ethan Xu Among the Weeds Chapter 2

Ethan Xu turned around and went out with his bag on his back. He had to buy some disinfectants first.

When he left the house, his cell phone kept ringing in his pocket. He looked at it while walking. The network was now better.

If I want to call a car, I click on the map, but it doesn’t even show the location, let alone taking a taxi.

"What a mess, I'm really suffering." He cursed and walked along the road when a phone call came in.

It was Xiao Julian Jiang. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

"No, what's going on, you're leaving right now? The group was in shock, and those idiots from Liu Yang all came to ask me questions." Julian Jiang's voice came from Julian Jiang.

Ethan Xu held up the pebbles on the roadside dishonestly, "Otherwise, Gabriel Xu is determined this time."

Julian Jiang also just found out about his exile to Yuncheng. Ethan Xu sent a lot of messages, which he just received.

"You didn't plead?"

Ethan Xu gritted his teeth and kicked the pebbles away, "Please, I just need to kowtow three times and nine times."

His father was so cruel that he asked people to pack his luggage overnight without saying a word. His mother was so angry that she was kidnapped like this.

While Ethan Xu and Julian Jiang were complaining about the tragic experiences along the way, he turned around and saw "Chaoyang Shiduodian" written on paper.

He turned a corner and walked towards the convenience store, "It's impossible to make him change his mind."

Julian Jiang suddenly laughed, "I told you to take it easy, just take a look."

Ethan Xu wanted to stop him from gloating about his misfortune, "Stop talking, it's annoying enough. I'll fight him later."

He hung up the phone and stood at the door of the convenience store, looking at the shabby little store in front of him. He said it was a convenience store and didn't even have an automatic glass door.

Looking up, he saw that the lintel was still low, and he had to bend his body to get in.

I glanced around a few times, but saw no one.

There is a dazzling array of daily necessities, as well as those things, spicy strips, and all kinds of snacks.

Ethan Xu walked to the daily necessities area and took a cleaning broom, mop, and bucket, but found no pesticide.

He stood there and frowned, then turned around and went to the cashier. There was a person under the counter, hunched over and flipping through something.

Ethan Xu walked over and pretended to be polite, "Hello, are there any pesticides here?"

The man raised himself and turned towards him.

How to describe the person in front of me? He is clean, his skin is fair, his eyes are clear and a little stupid, his face is a little red, it is because he turned over something and fell down, and it is congested.

He was wearing black short-sleeved shirts that had been washed until they turned white, and they were all frayed. He was not very tall and only reached his shoulders.

He looks like the kind of nerd who spends all day in school reading books.

Ethan Xu frowned, it was the kind of appearance that he hated, and his mother couldn't help him.

He put his hands in his pockets and said in a bad tone, "Is there any pesticide?"

The boy's green-white fingers pointed at his feet.

Ethan Xu looked over and saw a bottle of insecticide in a red package just standing there.

...

Why didn't I see it just now? I'm so damn convinced.

He bent down to pick up the bottle of insecticide and said, "Check out." After saying that, he put all the things he just selected on the checkout counter.

Ethan Xu watched him lower his head and turn things over as if counting, several times in a row.

"Have you finished counting? How much is it?" He asked impatiently after a moment.

The boy looked up at him and paused for two seconds, "Fifty."

His voice was the same as others, clean, clear, and slow.

"Scan the QR code on WeChat." Ethan Xu raised his phone.

He nodded slightly, took out a QR code for him to scan, and put all the things in the bucket so that it was easier to access.

After Xu Qin Lie paid, he took the things and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and asked, "Is there a cleaning company here?"

He shook his head.

Ethan Xu got annoyed and asked reluctantly: "Is there any local who wants to make money? I can pay the salary."

He was stunned for a moment and thought, "I can."

This time it was Ethan Xu's turn to be stunned, and finally frowned, "Okay, then come with me. What's your name?"

"Felix Lin."

After speaking, he shook his head. Ethan Xu was annoyed and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Felix Lin frowned. Perhaps he had never seen such a bad-tempered person before. He simply explained: "Only at night, I... don't have time now."

He also had to help his aunt look after the store, and he couldn't leave until night.

Ethan Xu was in an extremely bad mood and pulled his hair out in frustration, "Then tonight, Lin Chuan, will you call me..."

"Felix Lin, ordinary Fan." Felix Lin said while biting the words.

Ethan Xu realized that Lin Chuan was the name of his high school classmate and he had forgotten it.

"Sorry, Lin, Fan, could you please give me your number?"

Felix Lin nodded and read out a series of numbers. Ethan Xu wrote it down on his phone, "I'll call you tonight."

After saying that, the man left with the bucket.

Ethan Xu walked back carrying the heavy bucket and let the cell phone ring in his pocket.

Looking at the unfamiliar and dilapidated buildings around me, a feeling of sadness and despair surged into my heart.

Gabriel Xu said that he was covered in thorns and had to be exiled if he wanted to live in ancient times.

He fights, goes to bars, and races cars. Anyway, he doesn't do anything serious. He goes against his family all the time. He is a frequent visitor to the bureau, and he has to be a VIP.

It's not like Gabriel Xu has never been beaten or scolded before. The more he does this, the more energetic he becomes and the more violent he becomes.

Yes, he is a B@st@ard, even his mother sometimes wonders if he was picked up, and the blood on his body is not the Xu family's blood.

This time I was determined to throw him here because he had beaten someone to death and that person was a mean person. Ethan Xu didn't like him for a day or two.

He took out the cigarette case in his pocket and looked down. There were only a few cigarettes left. He had forgotten to buy them at the convenience store just now.

As he walked and smoked, he felt a little dazed. It wasn't until the smoke got into his eyes that he suddenly came back to his senses.

A small bungalow appeared in front of him. From now on, he had to support himself. There was no prosperity like Jiangbei here, no bars, no high-end clubs, nothing.

Gabriel Xu also stopped all his cards and only promised to transfer him one thousand and fifty yuan for living expenses every month.

Ethan Xu thought, one thousand and fifty, not even a dog.

He put the things on the floor and walked around the hall, opening all the doors and windows to let in the air.

Finally, I went to the bathroom and tried to turn on the faucet. After more than ten seconds, the water slowly came up. It was yellow, smelly and unpleasant.

"Ugh---" Ethan Xu retched and turned on the faucet to let it pump for a while.

He returned to the living room, took out his cell phone and sent Felix Lin a text message asking him to bring some faucet filters when he came.

The message came back, two clear words: OK.

"Tsk." Ethan Xu ignored it, put on a mask and scanned the hall downstairs.

I went upstairs and scanned again. After working for about an hour, I lay down on the sofa tiredly.

He raised his eyes and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room. The sky was already dark.

"Cuckoo---" His stomach growled from time to time. He had eaten twice since he got in the car. For a man of his size, he had a big appetite and he was already starving.

My whole body felt empty all of a sudden, my hands and feet began to feel weak, and my lips turned white.

It was over. He had starved to death in this broken house before he could survive in the wilderness. Ethan Xu was so depressed that he died.
