Chapter 44: The Phantom
The place Lu Xin found to eat is quite elegant, and its name is "Guyi". The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is probably influenced by this name, and the decoration inside is also quite simple and elegant. This shop is not big, up and down two floors, the door is a peach-colored carved arch, and there is a two-person high artificial indoor scenery on the side of the door, there are rockeries, streams, bluestones, arch bridges, octagonal pavilions, etc., all placed just right, whether you look at it from a distance or enjoy it closely.
At this time, it is the peak time to eat after work, and a small store like this but it looks very distinctive and interesting should be overcrowded, especially since it is located in a business circle, which can be described as quiet in the middle of noisy, and its meaning is even more quiet. But Dai Qingtian followed Lu Xin to the second floor and found that there didn't seem to be too many guests seated.
And, in Dai Qingtian's view, this store seems to be a waste of space.
For example, the first floor they entered just now, except for the deliberately created scenery and reception place, seemed to be arranged as a place to wait for leisure, where there were tree stumps about the thickness of two people hugging, although it was painted mahogany-colored, but the annual rings on it were faintly visible.
The idea of using a tree stump as a table is also the idea of this shop, and what is even more interesting is that there is also an intricately carved round belly incense burner and a simple and quaint tea set on the table. At the table, there are several low stools made of small tree stumps, which add a bit of wild interest to the whole quaint and exquisite decoration style.
The faint sound of pipa slowly flowed from the fingers of the classical beauty sitting on the side next to her, even people like Dai Qingtian who did not understand pipa music felt relaxed and happy when they heard it, and they calmed down, and even the footsteps on the stairs became silent.
Waiting on the second floor, you can see several large screens to divide the space into three areas, and there are carved wooden walls in each area and a small space one after another, each small compartment porch in the sitting area is full moon shaped, the curtain can be placed and retracted, and the whole compartment is surrounded by the carved wooden wall on all sides, and the collection is hung on one side, and you can see each other inside and outside. It all depends on the mood of the guest.
Dai Qingtian couldn't help but look at it curiously, and Lu Xin said with a smile: "This store is newly opened by a friend, although it is newly opened, it is not easy to receive guests, and only guests who have made an appointment in advance can enter." My friend has a strange mind, and I heard that it will not fill the seats every day, and he said that he doesn't like to make too much trouble. Don't look at it like this, the dishes and taste are still good. He shook his head with a smile, and said, "I really don't know what kind of business I do, I've been careless since I was a child." ”
Dai Qingtian smiled, thinking that he was about to be a boy who was not short of money, so he was naturally not afraid of taking money too seriously, and he just felt that it was good to be casual.
This curiosity was quickly left behind by Dai Qingtian. began to talk with Lu Xin and Lu Lingxi.
Lu Xin is a gentle and considerate person, since he is the east, he naturally takes good care of Dai Qingtian and his son during the banquet. Dai Qingtian and Lu Lingxi ate happily, and the atmosphere at the banquet was also very harmonious.
If the meal is eaten in this atmosphere, the guests and hosts will naturally enjoy it. It's just that when Dai Qingtian picked up the teacup and drank water, and unconsciously looked at a compartment next to him that opened the curtain, his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but drop the teacup in his hand.
A man in a black tracksuit put on a peaked cap and put his hands in his pockets and walked quickly downstairs.
Lu Xin and Lu Lingxi didn't know what was going on, they looked at Dai Qingtian at the same time, and were about to ask, but Dai Qingtian suddenly got up and rushed downstairs, forgetting to take his bag.
Lu Xin was startled, looked at Lu Lingxi, and hurriedly said, "Don't go anywhere if you stay here, Dad will go to see Aunt Dai." ”
Lu Lingxi was very sensible, he nodded, and quickly responded, "Dad, go ahead, I'll sit still here." I just saw Uncle Yang here, and he will take care of me. ”
Lu Xin nodded, got up and chased downstairs. If it weren't for his friend's shop, he wouldn't dare to leave his son so rashly. When he went downstairs, he saw a tall and thin man at the welcome desk around the corner, so he nodded to him and said, "Xiao Yang, help me take care of my son, thank you." ”
That Xiao Yang hurriedly responded, took out the walkie-talkie and said a few words, and soon someone came to hand over to him, and he also made time to accompany Lu Xin's son.
Lu Xin's decision was very correct, because he would soon find out that he would not be able to come back in a moment or a half when he went after Dai Qingtian.
Let's talk about wearing a sunny day.
Dai Qingtian ran downstairs in a panic, ran out of the door again, and looked left and right. Soon, her eyes were fixed on one place, and she didn't care to go that way.
A motorcycle drove over quickly on the road, Lu Xin saw from behind that the car was almost attached to Dai Qingtian's shoulder, so he was so frightened that he quickly reached out to retrieve Dai Qingtian, and the car wiped Dai Qingtian's sleeve and drove over quickly. The rider on the motorcycle was probably frightened himself, and cursed loudly: "I'm blind!
Dai Qingtian didn't have time to speak, only pointed to a lane across the road: "I'm going to follow it!" Her expression was a little excited, but it looked very serious, so that Lu Xin couldn't say a word of refusal.
But his car was in the underground garage, and he was in a hurry when he got down just now, he didn't wear a coat, and he didn't have a penny on him, and it was very difficult to take a taxi.
Dai Qingtian didn't allow him to think so much, she struggled to break free of Lu Xin's hand, and was actually about to run over.
People and cars come and go on the road. Lu Xin was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled her again to prevent her from taking risks. In the blink of an eye, the door of the car closed and quickly drove away.
Dai Qingtian was so anxious that his eyes were red and seemed to cry.
Lu Xin's heart was shocked, he raised his hand to stop a taxi, and sat in with Dai Qingtian.
"Follow the car over there, tail number XXXX. Fares doubled. Lu Xin has a good memory and quickly reported the license plate number.
The driver reacted quickly, he skillfully spun, stepped on the oil, and excitedly asked along with the rhythmic music in the car: "The car in front looks good, do you have plainclothes for a mission?" or ......?"
"Keep up and don't get distracted. Lu Xin interrupted him, he was really not in the mood to satisfy the driver's curiosity.
The young driver shrugged his shoulders, knowing that people didn't want to take care of him, so he didn't ask anymore, but silently stepped on the gas again.
However, the performance of the taxi was still limited, and after following four intersections, the car turned around and quickly disappeared.
Dai Qingqing got out of the car and looked blankly at the place where the car disappeared, not knowing for a moment whether he was in reality or in a dream.
Lu Xin wanted to get out of the car to see the situation, but the driver stopped him at the right time and said, "Handsome guy, the fare hasn't been paid yet." ”
