Chapter Twenty-Six: The Man Who Feeds the Cats

The meal was eaten from eight o'clock in the evening until half past eleven in the evening.

The two drank a total of fourteen bottles of beer, of which Wu Jing drank eight.

She didn't have anything to do, but her face was a little ruddy, and under the light, she looked even more playful and cute.

But Ma Long was a little upset, biting his tongue when he spoke, dizzy, and finally when he went to the cashier to settle the bill, he no longer walked in a straight line.

Coming out of the grilled fish restaurant, the two didn't get a taxi for the time being, so they walked a few steps along the road.

Wu Jing was holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand, her arms were swaying back and forth playfully, and she exercised after the meal, and she couldn't tell what she looked like after drinking eight bottles of beer.

But Malone was burping vigorously, a gust of wind blew, his stomach churned, and he almost vomited.

He didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Wu Jing, so he forced back this desire to vomit.

Looking at the transfer record of 30,000 yuan given to him by Wu Jing on WeChat, Ma Long asked Wu Jing with a stiff tongue: "Hey, I'll discuss something with you?"

"You say. Wu Jing didn't look back.

"You see I'm fine, so it's better to ......"

At this point, Malone stopped, because he didn't know how to speak.

Malone is not an alcoholic, he deliberately drank too much today, just to make people courageous.

But at the moment, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Ma Long's spitting, Wu Jing turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" The car is coming, don't say I'm leaving!"

"Giggle......"

Ma Long hiccuped again, and said to Wu Jing that it was okay, but in his heart he scolded himself again for coercion.

Wu Jing was inexplicably troubled by Ma Long, and scolded with a smile, "You seem to be sick." Then he waved down a taxi.

She pulled the car door, stepped up with one leg, and greeted Ma Long: "Gone, I have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Hey, you wait!"

Ma Long gritted his teeth and stopped Wu Jing, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "What, big mirror, do you have a partner now?"

"Huh?" Wu Jing didn't react for a while.

"If you don't, do you think I can do it?"

After stammering this sentence, Ma Long's mind went blank, and his nervous emotions were no less than those he faced in Myanmar with several times more real guns.

"Are you asking me?" Wu Jing looked at Ma Long in disbelief, stretching out her index finger and pointing at her nose.

"Ah, then you see I'm not asking you, am I asking the driver's brother again!"

"...... I think you seem to be a bit of a tiger, I don't understand, what are you doing to me?"

The driver complained through the window,

"Big brother, I think you really drank too much. ”

Wu Jing sweated wildly, threw down such a sentence and got into the car, and slammed the car door shut.

The taxi slowly accelerated, Ma Jun licked his chapped lips, and he didn't know where he got the courage, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Big mirror, you wait for me to earn a lot of money! I will definitely take you home!"

After Wu Jing heard this, she didn't look back, looked at the driver next to her, and quickly explained: "This guy may have really drunk too much." ”

On the street, on the deserted street, Malone finally couldn't help it and vomited wildly at the trash can.

After spitting up, he wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and patted his head in annoyance: "Yard, it's a shame to lose a lot of hair now." ”

When I returned to the Phoenix Market, it was already early in the morning, and there were basically no people in the market, and many shops had closed.

When Ma Long arrived, Zhang Xiaodong went back in advance because of his family, leaving Wang Peng alone to clean up the stall.

Under the dim light, Wang Peng's busy figure was pulled by the elder, slightly lonely.

His hair was still messy, unkempt, and the clothes he wore were greasy.

This is a bland man who will not give people a second look when put in the crowd.

But Malone noticed that this man's eyes were different from others.

His deep gaze is like a bottomless lake, full of stories, and when he is busy, his brows are sometimes stretched and sometimes furrowed, as if he has something on his mind.

At this time, a stray cat covered in mud barked and walked to Wang Peng's feet to forage for food.

Perhaps because of vigilance, when Wang Peng squatted down, the stray cat "meowed" and fled ten meters away, staring at the food at Wang Peng's feet in the distance, which was a pile of chicken bones.

Wang Peng threw the chicken bones to the stray cat, and the stray cat walked over slowly and quickly ate the chicken bones cleanly.

It should be that he didn't have enough to eat, and the stray cat didn't dare to approach, so he lay on the ground and continued to bark at Wang Peng.

Wang Peng got up and took out a small dried fish from the house, squatted down, and called a stray cat on his mouth.

The stray cat walked over vigilantly, and when he arrived at Wang Peng's feet, he first scratched the dried fish with his foot a few times, and saw that Wang Peng did not react, so he realized that he was not in any danger and ate it with confidence.

Wang Peng reached out and stroked the stray cat's body a few times, and the stray cat meekly pressed its head against Wang Peng's palm.

Soon, the dried fish was eaten, and the stray cat licked its lips and left.

Wang Peng smiled, watched the stray cat disappear into the darkness, and then began to get busy again.

Ma Long looked a little distracted for a while, he lit a cigarette and walked over, and said with a smile

"Brother Peng, you're just cleaning up alone, it's hard work!"

"It's okay, it's not any heavy work, have you got the money?" Wang Peng looked back and saw that it was Ma Long, and then grinned.

"Got it. ”

Ma Long threw Wang Peng a cigarette, wiped the table with a rag, and asked Wang Peng seemingly casually

"Brother Peng, where is your hometown? I listen to your accent, I shouldn't look like a native of Jiangcheng. ”

Hearing this, Wang Peng, who was moving the oven into the house, paused obviously, he glanced at Ma Long, and did not answer this question.

"I just asked casually, if it's inconvenient for you to say, I didn't ask, hehe. Malone said as he took a puff of his cigarette.

Wang Peng put the oven in the house, took out the lighter and lit a cigarette, and then said lightly: "My hometown is in the north of Jiangcheng, I stayed with you, I did encounter something, if you have any concerns, I will leave tonight." ”

"I don't have any worries, if you want to leave or stay, I won't force you, anyway, if you are on this day, I will pay you for a day. ”

Wang Peng was stunned for a moment, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything in the end.

Since Ma Long and Zhang Xiaodong discussed a partnership to expand the store, Zhang Xiaodong cleaned up his store that day and used it as a temporary warehouse for public barbecue, so Ma Long and Wang Peng have more space to sleep.

The two would chat every night, but after this conversation, Ma Long never asked about Wang Peng's identity again.
