Chapter 45: Seclusion
"A lie, a qiē is a lie."
This is a banner erected by the people of the small town of Abiline.
Adult men here, each with a gun, roamed around the town and beyond, and if they saw a stranger near the town, they would go up and check on them, even though the police had warned them that it was illegal, but they wouldn't listen.
Qiu Fengyu's "noodle shop" has also closed. The door did not open for several days, and then people were convinced that this stranger who had come in a hurry had really left. Those Texas knights on horseback, when they pass by with guns, can't help but look at this place twice.
"He's only leaving temporarily, and I'm sure he'll be back!" Britt put his hand on Nicole's shoulder. He had the key, opened the door, and then looked at the empty shop, comforting his daughter. His son, Danny, watched from the sidelines.
"Well, did he really just go fishing at the beach?" Nicole looked up at Britt.
"Yes, he'll come back here with the big fish and treat us to a cod pizza."
"I like sweet and sour pork ribs." Nicole pursed her lips.
Father and daughter were talking, when suddenly they heard a voice coming over: "Hey, Britt, it's you......"
As soon as Britt turned his head, he saw that Kirfen was walking towards him, she was very handsome in her uniform, but her face looked very tired.
"yes, come and have a look." Britt smiled.
Ke Fen shrugged his shoulders: "I saw that this place was open, so I came over to take a look, and thought it was ......"
"He'll be back." Britt laughed, "Be optimistic. I have to say that this kid is really popular. ”
"He also said he taught me how to play basketball." Danny, who was silent on the side, suddenly said, "He swore an oath." ”
"I hope so." Kefen smiled reluctantly, then turned away, driving the police car around the town aimlessly. The people in the town who were armed with guns and rode horses would nod and smile at her and wave hello when they saw Kefen. Cofen showed courage that night and earned them respect.
After a turn, he was called to the police station, where the chief of police of Paso City was already waiting in the office, and then announced the official appointment of Coffin.
"Congratulations, Sheriff Coffin. You deserve it. Your courage and determination will make your father proud. "The police chief apparently knew Coffin's father.
Kefen saluted, then hugged him gently.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Ochoa." Coffin let go, then turned away.
The small town of Escondido, a deserted cottage on the coast. The front of the hut was overgrown with grass and trees, but the house hidden among the trees and grass did not look so conspicuous. If you don't pay attention, you really won't find it. There is only a narrow road leading to the outside. The old-fashioned BMW was parked in the grass on the front lawn next to the house.
"Hand it to me, and we'll be living here for the next forty-nine days." Qiu Fengyu took the chainsaw and saw wood from April. He's going to renovate the house he just rented.
Because it's been deserted for a while. Qiu Fengyu and April spent two days cleaning. Then it took about three days to sort out and restore some of the old things in the cottage.
Five days later, the cottage was completely new.
"I find I love it." April was bouncing and jumping in the tidy-up cabin. From here you can see the sea and beach outside.
"I'm going to call you Aprile all the time? Malloy? Qiu Fengyu looked at the very happy April and shrugged her shoulders, "In the coming days, we will share weal and sorrow together." It's eleven miles to get from here to town, and it's even longer to get from town to Los Angeles, are we going to be so distrustful? ”
April was silent and stunned for a moment, then she stretched out her hand: "April, April?" Savannah. Always lived in Los Angeles. ”
Qiu Fengyu reached over and shook it, and then continued to repair the house.
The chalet was small, but it had two rooms, a living room that looked relatively large, and a large balcony with a table and a few chairs. And there is also a small promenade. It seems that the original owner is a person with ideas.
"We're going to live in isolation here?" At dinner, the two of them sat opposite each other on the table on the balcony, and April smiled at Qiu Fengyu.
"It's only forty-nine days. Then I take the money, and you go home. Part company with. ”
"You're such a loveless guy." April snorted, then stopped talking, concentrating on fighting the steak.
The night view here is very charming.
Listen to the sea breeze, look at the starry sky, and the sound of jazz music from the classical record player. Aprili felt that she really liked it, and she sat on the balcony and enjoyed the qiē with her eyes closed.
Qiu Fengyu was watching TV in the living room.
There is cable TV and Wi-Fi, but Qiu Fengyu turned off the Internet. If you want to hide from those who are in modern high technology, then ...... Being a primitive person is more reliable. Cut off any contact with the outside world, except for the TV set.
Qiu Fengyu's iPhone has been left in the small town of Abiline, and he only has a mobile phone in his hand that can only be contacted by a single line, and only Anthony knows the number. The phone was also given to him by Anthony. Not only Qiu Fengyu's mobile phone, but also April's mobile phone.
After staying for a while, April came in, and when she saw Qiu Fengyu sitting in the living room, she shook her head and said, "If there is an Internet, a laptop and a mobile phone, I want to ...... I will stay here for the rest of my life. ”
"Don't even think about it. You can't call outside, that's the rule. Qiu Fengyu told her.
"What else can't be done?" April looked at him defiantly.
Qiu Fengyu looked at her, and then said: "Occasionally, people come to swim in this place, they may find this house, I will make a sign and put it outside-private house, no trespassing." ”
"Are we going to be cut off from the world?" April said dissatisfied.
"Unless you want Abilene to happen again, and then kill me after you almost killed Anthony." Qiu Fengyu didn't look at her and said, "This is an order." ”
"Okay, okay, it's too good, it's an order? Yes, you said it, this is the command, this is the TMD command. Aprile suddenly screamed out of control, she waved her hands, and slowly sat down on the floor with some chagrin, holding her head with both hands, "God, this kind of day...... I really don't want to live anymore. ”
"Unless you want to die." Qiu Fengyu didn't comfort her, and said coldly, "The person who can launch an attack like the last time, and can also use the explosion of a gas pipeline as an explanation, and let the TV station support him, do you think his energy is very small?" Anthony made it very clear that they all have moles in the FBI. What awaits us is sure to be an endless hunt until we take you out. ”
Qiu Fengyu said as he looked at April and made a gesture to wipe his neck.
This action made April shudder. Finally a depressed whisper began to cry.
"I'm going to sleep!" Qiu Fengyu got up and turned off the TV, which was an old-fashioned TV set. After taking two steps, he suddenly looked back at April, "Remember, let's all survive forty-nine days." ”
Watching Qiu Fengyu leave, April raised her head and snorted, she was crying so sadly, this guy really has no sympathy, it seems that he has performed in vain.
Early the next morning, Qiu Fengyu went out. He drove that old-fashioned BMW to San Diego. Because he had a hair cover and a beard, this was a different person entirely. It's coarse, but it's not eye-catching.
San Diego is huge, and by population, it is the second-largest city in California, after Los Angeles. There are also Chinese gathering areas, as well as large supermarkets opened by Chinese. In the supermarket, you can buy seasonings and dishes that suit the taste of Qiu Feng fish, and this is the most important thing. Qiu Fengyu is basically a large purchase, a one-time purchase of food for ten days, this is to minimize the number of activities outside, which also reduces the chance of being discovered.
Because of April's relationship, Qiu Fengyu is now also cautious about his behavior. At least he knows how to avoid risks out there, if he dodges the cameras. So he went to San Diego and was largely unnoticed. There will be no conflict with people.
Before the car approached the cabin, he made a special call to April. But no one answered. He drove the car into the nearby woods, then drew his pistol, and like a dexterous cat, he burrowed into the woods, and quickly approached the cabin.
In the living room of the house were messy clothes, as well as women's underwear. There was only one public bath here, so Qiu Fengyu could basically tell that April was taking a bath.
Qiu Fengyu put his heart down.
"Who is it?" April heard movement in the bathroom and spoke out loud.
Qiu Fengyu didn't bother to pay attention to her deliberate behavior, and walked directly to the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. To be honest, in the days when he came out, he was about to fade out of his mouth. A good meal must be made.
