"Waiting for a Friend"
This is a performance art work by performance artist Bai Shuangquan. He came to the subway station at [-]:[-] noon and waited blankly at the subway station without making an appointment with anyone.
Finally, after four o'clock in the afternoon, he met a long-lost friend.
"Actually, I don't know how long you will come, I just wait here."
That's right, without any prior agreement, he managed to find an acquaintance, an old friend...
Linde also hopes that an old friend can now appear in the Leaky Cauldron.At this time, he was sitting on a high chair by the fireplace, crawling on the long and narrow bar.
In front of him was a glass half full of plain water, which Tom, the pub-keeper, poured out for him because of his pity.
He came here in the afternoon, and since then he has been wandering back and forth between Diagon Alley and the Leaky Cauldron, but he has never found an acquaintance.
Counting now, he has spent almost four hours here.
But it's not without good news.
The good news is that he found that no one was following him. After wandering back and forth, he guessed that the Ministry of Magic might send Aoluo to follow him, which did not happen.
"Who are you waiting for here, kid!" Old Tom hunched over, wiping the cup that couldn't be cleaned no matter what.
"Gordo." Linde said lazily, who can understand his depression at this time!
"what?"
"I'm 'Waiting for Godot'."
"Oh, well, a guy named Gordo, when is he coming?" Old Tom put down his glass, struggled for a while, and then put two ice cubes in Linde's glass with some reluctance.
"Gorot is not coming tonight!"
Old Tom didn't understand what Linde was talking about, and muttered in disgust, "Crazy kid?" After that, his face showed a sincere sense of satisfaction.
I am still willing to provide this kind of silly child with a glass of ice water.
I am such a good person.
The beauty of human nature is nothing more than this!
But he still rejected Linde's proposal to give him a part-time job in exchange for some change for the car.
Not only did he quit alone, but basically in the entire Diagon Alley, no shop dared to employ child labor.
Those children could be newspaper boys and find work for themselves.
But never be "hired".
The Ministry of Magic is very strict on this matter, and this is also a regulation issued by Fudge after he came to power.
Obviously, this regulation belongs to "a rule that seems to be useful, but is actually very mentally handicapped."
Linde saw this regulation as Fudge plagiarizing the "Child Protection Act" from the world of ordinary people, but Fudge may not understand that there are no capitalists in the magic world.
In the original wizarding world, if anyone dared to abuse child labor, then that guy's place would become rotten in the word of mouth of wizards within a week, and there would basically be no business in the future.
Therefore, this regulation of Fudge did not protect the rights and interests of anyone at all. Instead, it made more children who wanted to earn some extra money less avenues, and some businesses that were too busy at times did not dare to hire children.
Linde snapped, "Boss, why don't you lend me some money, and I'll pay you back tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Hearing what old Tom said, Linde slapped the table and stepped on the crossbar of the high chair to stand up.
"But you have nothing to prove, how can I believe you!" said old Tom.
……
Linde tilted his head and thought for a moment.
Now he really has nothing on him.
Linde had no choice but to move his face closer, "Look, look at this, my innocent eyes!"
Old Tom cast a glance. "I only see treachery!"
"That's your own reflection!"
Old Tom waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk to Linde, "the floo powder is there, why don't you just grab a handful yourself!"
Linde crawled on the bar again, and said listlessly. "But my house doesn't have a Flyway network!"
"That has nothing to do with me!" Old Tom said, and then began to prepare for tonight's wine, no matter in the world of ordinary people or wizards, night is the main profit time for bars.
Ugh!
Seeing that Old Tom was unwilling to talk to him, Linde had no choice but to gulp down the ice cubes and water in one gulp, and then thanked Old Tom.
cluck cluck!
Lind chewed on ice as he walked to the back of the Leaky Cauldron.
At this time, a witch happened to come out of Diagon Alley. Linde took advantage of the situation and rushed into Diagon Alley.
At this time, it was bustling and crowded with people.A little girl rushed past Linde's eyes, followed by a slightly older child, holding a chocolate frog in his hand, it seemed that he wanted to forcibly feed this jumping little thing to the girl.
Linde took a small step back to give them his place, and watched them run away.
Afterwards, Linde raised his hood and walked deep into the alley through the flow of people.
Just as he reached the corner of the alley, a voice stopped him.At the same time, he put his hands on his shoulders, and his knuckles clasped his collarbone firmly.
"If you don't want to die, be honest with me."
A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded from behind him. The voice was not loud. If it wasn't for Linde's good ears, he would probably be like other people passing by him, unable to hear what the guy behind him said.
finally come!Linde laughed in his heart, ever since he climbed up the Leaky Cauldron and said he was alone, he felt that his eyes were on him.
Some of the gazes were filled with strong malice.
Feeling the trembling body of the little wizard under him, he put his arms around Linde and led him into Knockturn Alley.
Lin Deqiang pretended that it was the first time he came to Knockturn Alley, and his eyes kept dodging those dark wizards who were waiting around him.Constantly shivering.
There are too many people here!
"Ted, this kid is not bad!" A skinny guy with a freckled face came over. He was wearing a thick and stained leather robe, and Linde had to say that he spoke loudly.
really big,
It was a torture to his senses.
As he spoke, he slid his fingers across Linde's face, sticking out his tongue and pressing it on his lips, as if he had seen some delicious food.
Linde was disgusted by him, and just wanted to blow the guy's head off with one punch.
Get some money and go, get some money and go!Linde kept comforting himself in his heart.
Whoa whoa whoa!
The water flowing in the nearby ditch suddenly increased.
A wand was placed in the guy's hand, and the man called Ted looked gloomy, looking at him unceremoniously, "Don't even think about extending your dirty hands to my side!"
The man was not annoyed, but just withdrew his hand and continued to look at Linde, "What I mean is, if he is your long-term employee, you can also let him come to me to work part-time!"
"Ha ha!"
Ted smiled, then pulled Linde past him without looking at him, bumped him away, and continued to lead Linde inside.
Only this time, before he saw Bojinbok's shop, he was led into a shop next to the alleyway.Lind had seen the storefront before, but its windows were too dark to see what was inside.No sign either.
boom!
The door slammed shut from behind.
As soon as he came in, Linde smelled the stench and opened his old eyes.
"This is……"
Click it!
On the lower right of Linde, in a huge cage, more than a dozen small charmanders are dismembering a fat mouse. In the corner of the cage, there are many rotten bones and flesh.Those flesh and blood ooze pus, the color is red and white, like a drowned corpse that has been soaked in the water for an unknown amount of time.
On top of this, there is a big birdcage, Linde probably can hold him, and there is a ghoul curled up inside.
In other places here, many magical animals are still kept, as well as some eggs, feed and so on.But the most are the various excrement of these creatures.
It seems that their breeders don't care about them at all.
Linde was pushed violently.
Stand still with your left foot, exert strength on your waist, and make a fist with your right hand backwards...
"How dare you say you're alone in a place like a bar, a brat like you!" the man called Ted yelled.
ah?
Linde sent his clenched fist away at once.
What do you mean, aren't you a robber?
Snapped!The incandescent light in the room was turned on.This is a rare electric light in the magic world, and it is one of the few electric lights that uses incandescent lamps.
"Do you know how many people followed you just now!" Ted said with a look of hatred.
"Aren't you one of the people who followed me?!"
"Without me, you would have been devoured to the point where there were no bones left." Ted roared, and then sat down on a red leather sofa. There were still many black particles of feces visible to the naked eye. It should be a mouse.
"So you have no malice towards me?!" Linde asked angrily.
"What can I mean to you, do I look like the kind of vicious person?" Ted roared.Self-consciously, he took out a bottle of beer from under the coffee table, put it in his mouth, and skillfully bit it open.
Linde looked at his face that hadn't been washed for a long time, the dirty and smelly beard that grew to his chin, and the long scars that ran across his face, his face was full of flesh.
Smells of booze and body and these animal smells.
And he likes to yell!
"It's not like it?" Linde asked suspiciously.Then without waiting for him to say anything, "Then why did you bring me here? If you are really kind, why did you bring me near Knockturn Alley?!"
Linde laughed.Slowly stand behind him.As long as the opponent has the slightest tendency to try to harm him, he can directly suppress the opponent with his strong physical quality and "momentum".
Ted took a sip of his wine and didn't even look at Linde. "Wasting time? I tell you, follow me in the future. You have plenty of money!"
"Forget it, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested in this aspect for the time being!" Linde said, this guy named Ted didn't have a tendency to be too malicious towards him, so he gave up directly grabbing him. idea.
As he spoke, he wanted to open the door and go out.
bang bang!
The door was locked, and no matter how hard he twisted it, he couldn't open it.
"Stinky boy, sit down and listen to me!" Ted stood up and slammed the wine bottle on the coffee table.
"Crazy!" Linde muttered, and then kicked hard.
boom!
The thick wooden door was kicked open by Linde.
At the same time, he also attracted a lot of attention from outside.He glanced left and right, and suddenly saw the pervert just now.
Linde glanced at the darkening sky through the alley.
Ugh!
At this time, the guy named Ted followed out again, Linde held the door,
"That's what they call you, Ted! Thank you for taking me and trying to help me. I appreciate your kindness?
But I was really looking forward to someone coming to provoke me, so that I could beat him up and rob him of his money! "
He spoke to Tad so quietly that no one else in the alley could hear what he was saying.
After speaking, Linde walked away on his own.
Looking at his back, Ted sneered, "I'll just see how you get out of here." Then he went back to carrying the wine bottle, and leaned against the door frame to look at Linde's back.
"I'll let you beg me later!" He was thinking, obviously he also saw the pervert who just wanted to ask Lin De to "part-time" with him.
Linde walked.
The guy also walked towards Linde with a smile on his face.
"Little guy, do you want to come to my place, I promise you will feel what is called paradise on earth." The guy walked over with a disgusting smile on his face.
"You are really disgusting."
"What?" The guy froze for a moment.
"Are you rich?" Linde asked again. "Find some money to spend. I've been looking for money all day today."
"Oh, money!" The guy laughed, and then stretched out his hand, trying to touch Linde's face, "Of course, there's a lot of it!" As he said, he picked up a money bag at his waist with his right hand and shook it shake.
Because the materials are different, Linde heard correctly.
There should not be many Galleons in it, basically Si Ke and Nat.
You pretend to be a fart!
As he spoke, Linde reached out and grabbed his wrist.Sudden effort——
"Ah!" The ear-piercing screams echoed in the alleyway.
"You bastard!" His face was flushed, and Wuguan twitched because of the severe pain. He forcibly pulled out his wand with his good hand and tried to point at Linde, but he saw a white fist head-on.
"You're really disgusting!" Linde roared, looking at his nostrils and mouth, couldn't help but move his fist up and hit him on the forehead.
After that, he kicked him hard in the stomach again, sending him flying.
boom!
Like a kite with a broken string, his body rolled backwards fiercely, and finally stopped after knocking down an old and rotten wooden barrel full of oil.
Looking at the various organs spilled out of the barrel, Linde raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, the old witch who wanted to blackmail him last time was standing beside the pervert, her body trembling constantly.
Linde didn't have a magic wand this time. In order to avoid being attacked by a crowd, he let out some "momentum" and walked towards that side aggressively, saying,
"I have no intention of confronting many of my fellow wizards here, it's just that this guy is disgusting!
He has caused indelible and serious damage to my young heart. "
As he spoke, his eyes were moistened. "You think, for a teenager, seeing such a disgusting guy, how much psychological harm it will have."
It's a pity that no one catered to him. Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the little guy who was barely 1.6 meters tall.
"Did he grow up eating giant monsters?!"
"That stupid Hogwarts troll is probably just like that!"
Ted looked at him in horror, and he suddenly felt that he had seen Linde's face before...
"Ahem!" The guy forced himself to stand up, but it was Linde's boots that met him.
Seeing the perverted man who was already out of breath, Linde groped around his waist, took off his purse, and shook it.
Before leaving, he took his wand with him.
This is good stuff!
Linde walked very slowly, and even opened the perverted pocket and counted the money in it.
Everyone saw his back, and some wanted to shoot a spell from behind, but they held back.
He walked so gracefully.
It seems that they are not afraid of us at all!
In the end, they still set their sights on the perverted man who was lying on the bed and looked like he was dying.
In this alley that eats people without spitting out their bones, his current state can only be divided and eaten by everyone.
Slowly, Linde's figure stepped out of Knockturn Alley.
The moment he turned the corner, he changed from a stroll to a fast run, with a smile on his face like a child who has succeeded in doing bad things.
Finally got the money.
