It's half past five.

In the north of winter, it was still dark outside, and it seemed that there was no difference from the middle of the night. At six o'clock, more and more people at the train station gradually increased. Station staff in dark green uniforms began to appear. People who were rushing to the early train in groups of three or three came one after another, and the speakers reminded passengers that the number of buses was broadcast frequently.

The less you have nothing to eat, the less hungry you will be. This is an irrefutable truth.

As for the reasons, it can only be sublimated to the psychological level of a person.

Anyway, Anna is very hungry now, so hungry that her chest is almost on her back.

Before leaving for the airport yesterday, because she got up late and was a little hurry, she hurriedly took a few sips of coffee and went out. Until now.

She had eaten up all the remaining chocolate. She glanced at Li Mei last night. She was still sitting in the corner like that. The pieces of chocolate she grabbed for her last night seemed to have not eaten yet.

I don't know why she can withstand hunger so much.

Anna thought she was going to come back, but she was embarrassed to speak. She swallowed hard for a few mouthfuls and decided to find a place to sell the watch as soon as possible.

When it finally dawned, she dragged her suitcase to Li Mei and shouted.

Li Mei slowly raised her eyelids and saw that it was Anna, and a forced smile came from the corner of her mouth.

"That... I have to go out for something. It's not convenient to bring this box with me. If you don't go anywhere else, can you help me check it out first? I'll come back as soon as possible."

Li Mei's eyes fell on her suitcase and nodded.

Her suitcase is also a luxury brand. But now, except for the burden, it is neither suitable for food nor useful. It is left to Li Mei for a temporary care, and Anna is not worried at all. If she really wants to lose it, she will consider it less burden.

Anna thanked repeatedly and pulled the box to her. When she turned around and was about to leave, she hesitated for a while, then turned around and asked again, "Li Mei, where were you going?"

Li Mei was stunned for a moment and said as if she was so angry: "Hongshijing..."

Anna knows about this city C. But she has never heard of Hongishii. It is probably a small place. She nodded, "I won't let you help me see my luggage in vain. Let's do this. When I come back, I'll buy you a ticket."

Li Mei looked at her steadily.

Anna smiled at her and turned around and walked out of the door.

On the side of the road outside the square in front of the station, there are already several breakfast stalls that have been set up. Anna wraps her shawl tightly on her body, resisting the chill, and passing by the stall selling roast chicken, mozzarella, and buns, smelling the seductive fragrance, swallowing a few mouthfuls, and walking towards the middle-aged man who was eager to greet her.

"Girl, you don't think you are not a local! From Shanghai?" The middle-aged man made a strong curled tongue sound, wore a small white hat of the local ethnic minority on his head, and a greasy white coat on his body, greeting Anna warmly, "The hot mutton scallion buns that have just been released! Lamb scallion is rich in powder, and the meat is thin and the real ingredients are real! Eight cents per, one cent five cents! Buy two and try it. After eating, you still want to eat it!"

Anna swallowed again, resisting the tempting fragrance that was desperately drilling into her nose, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I want to ask, where is the place to sell watches nearby?"

"You buy a watch?"

"No. I want to sell... I'm buying a watch!"

Uncle Mutton was stunned, and said oh, pointing to his right hand: "In the past, there was a supply and marketing building that sold watches. But they just sold them, and they didn't charge them. If you want to sell them, go find a watchmaker. There is a stall next to the supply and marketing building. You can go over and ask them to know!"

Anna thanked repeatedly and turned her head to leave.

"Girl, I said, don't you buy it for a try?" Uncle Mutton Bun called her unwillingly, "There is a famous nearby bun, and residents have come to buy it. It's still early now, and when there are too many people, you can't buy it even if you want!"

Anna cried and said, "Uncle, tell you the truth, someone stole my wallet and I haven't eaten until now. I just asked you about the place, just to sell my watch and go home."

Uncle Mutton Bao was stunned and closed his mouth.

Anna finally looked at the foggy glass of the small cart and lifted the buns with half of the steamer cover, and turned reluctantly. After walking a few steps, she heard a sound behind her. Uncle Mutton Bao waved to her, "Come here! I'll give you two! After eating, go back to Shanghai to advertise for me! My surname is Yang, the third stall at the south gate of the railway station, Yang Ji Mutton Boiled Bun!"

Anna saw him taking a newspaper cut into small squares, and wrapped two steamed buns for herself and handed them over. She was overjoyed and hurriedly picked it up and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle Yang! Thank you, Uncle Yang! When I sell my watch, I will pay you back when I have money!"

"Hey, go there! It's okay if you don't give it to me! It's not easy to go out!" Uncle Mutton Bao waved at her.

Anna thanked again. After walking for a while, she ignored her image and squatted in a corner against the wall and bit the fat white bun.

With a slight whistle, the hot soup in the bun came out and soaked onto Anna's tongue, and the taste buds seemed to bloom in an instant.

The fresh chopped green onion and pure northern mutton are mixed with glutinous flour. It smells like Anna has never eaten such delicious things in her life.

She almost ate the first bun, and the remaining small bites were fucked into her stomach, licking her greasy lips, and her strength finally came back.

Anna used the oily newspaper to wipe her fingers, and saw a piece of title on it, "...Carrying out severe crackdown on criminal crimes...", but she didn't look closely and couldn't find the trash can. She threw it into the corner of the roadside and stood up, heading forward in the direction pointed by the mutton dumpling uncle. After walking about seven or eight hundred meters, she asked passers-by again and finally saw a three-story old building with a wooden sign "Supply and Marketing Building in Heping Street, City C" hanging at the door.

It was still early, and the supply and marketing building did not open. Anna searched around the building several times, and finally saw a small storefront suspected of repairing watches in an alley. The door was locked. A line of words "Lao Yu Watch Store" were painted on the wall.

Anna found a sheltered corner and sat down, looking at the people and cars passing by in front of her.

The streets were gray. As the sky became brighter and brighter, more people went to work and school. The most common ones were square old trams on the street. Occasionally, you could see several cars that Anna couldn't name. In addition, there were passers-by riding tripod bicycles. Everyone had their own destinations and was traveling in a hurry. Occasionally, those who noticed Anna would look back frequently.

Although you can occasionally see one or two women who perm her mother when she was young, called "single swallow style" and "double swallow style" curly hair and high heels. But Anna knew that she looked different from them.

It's like a pheasant left in a flock of chickens, out of place.

When she has money, the first thing she does is to buy a piece of clothing to wrap herself up. In this way, she will be frozen to death if she is not seen to death!

At nine o'clock, the sun rose high, and the supply and marketing door opened. But the shop of Lao Yu had not opened yet.

Anna continued to wait. Finally, at ten o'clock, she saw a thin old man wearing a shabby dark blue Zhongshan suit slowly walking into the alley and opening the door.

Anna immediately followed in and said, "Hello, uncle. I want to ask, are you buying a watch here?"

The old man slowly put on his guy and asked, "What's the show?"

When Anna heard that there was a show, she became energetic and hurriedly took off the one on her wrist and handed it over, "Patek Philippe. The latest model. I didn't bring it much, but it was similar to the brand new one. How much do you think it's worth?"

The old man glanced at the watch and stared at Anna again.

"overseas Chinese?"

"Yes." Anna lie with him.

The old man put on reading glasses, took the watch, took the magnifying glass and looked at it for a while, then removed the back cover, continued to study the movement for a while, finally looked up and said slowly: "One hundred."

Although Anna was mentally prepared, it was impossible for this watch to be sold at any good price here. But this price really surprised her.

"Uncle, look carefully! This is an authentic Patek Philippe! Swiss imported watches! How could it be so cheap?"

The old man took off his glasses: "Girl, it's not too high, it's worth two months' salary. I know you're a good watch, but you only received this price after you recognize the goods. I told you, I'll take out your brand, and it's hard to find a person who knows you in a hundred people. I can't sell it, and even the best watch will be paid for it. Do you think it's? If you took it over, I can pay for this quality of the plum blossom radar. Why? Some people are willing to pay for it at a high price! Everyone knows that the plum blossom radar is a high-end foreign goods, and it's more respectful than the Shanghai watch and seagull watch. As for your brand, I saw it when I was a child when I was repairing watches with my grandfather in Shanghai. Most people don't know it at all. Do you like to sell it?"

After the old man finished speaking, he handed his watch back.

Anna was stunned.

No matter how valuable the watch is, it will be just a piece of iron that can see the time. She is not willing to leave like this. She is determined by persuading her, and almost wiped out her mouth. The old man finally opened the price to 200.

"The highest price! If you don't sell it, I can't do anything!" The old man looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Anna gritted her teeth and nodded to make a deal.

The old man was so happy that he turned over the layers of clothes, pulled out a stack of great unity from a rag bag tied to his waist, counted twenty pieces one by one, and handed them over.

Anna took the money, her heart was bleeding and said, "Master, please collect it for me first. Don't sell it. I promise that when I have money, I will come back to you and buy it. I will increase the price for you and will never let you suffer."

The old man nodded with a smile, turned around and put away his watch.
