[Boss, I'm sorry. How much does this holster cost? 】
After leaving Tiandu Hui, I was in a post with a brush in bold letters that read "Clearance Sale!" Last day guaranteed! Standing in front of the grocery store and picking up the contents of one of the cardboard boxes and asking for the price.
The shop was deserted. But to be honest, there are quite a few stores that like to say that they are the last day to clear their inventory, but is it useful? That's not necessarily a lot of people! And tomorrow will not be the same, I will still open a store and do business.
The owner sat in a rocking chair in the store with a lazy expression. Seeing that a guest was coming, he had no intention of coming over to greet me.
From the outside, he gave me the impression of an old man living alone. It's just that he sits too far inside, and he doesn't turn on the lights, so he can't see what he looks like. The shop is not rented on purpose, but is just an ordinary private house, and at the end of the shop you can see a wooden staircase leading to the attic.
[That, it's sold with a knife, not only. 】
After listening to my boss's words, I began to stare seriously at the leather case I wanted to buy. The reason why I want to buy a holster is simple, it's just that I don't have a place to put it after I got the knife from the man in the shirt.
But I don't want to just throw it away. After all, this knife is quite easy to hold, and it still has a saber-like blade. I'm not interested in arms or anything like that, but there's no denying that I like it.
And if I want to bring it, I'm not going to put it in my backpack. Now I could be hunted down at any time, so I really wanted to take my weapon with me.
In that case, I need a holster that fits on the belt loop.
But it's so hard to find a holster of the same size as the man in the flower shirt! I've been looking for almost 10 minutes at this store, and I haven't found the right size. The only one that suits me is the one who asks for the price now.
[Boss, if this holster is sold with a knife, how much will it cost? ] 】
If you can, I don't want that simple fruit knife, I just want a holster. But he didn't just sell it, so I had to buy it together.
[Not expensive. After speaking, the boss made a gesture: [20 yuan, if you want to take it.] 】
20 pieces? That's still too expensive for a fruit knife, right?
But I don't have the heart to bargain with him, if I waste too much time here, it will be difficult to explain if my aunt or Ah Hai comes back to see me later! So I quickly took out 20 pieces and went into the grocery store to hand it to the boss.
【……】
The boss didn't speak, probably because he thought I was unexpectedly happy. I didn't hesitate, I said thank you hastily and took the knife. Then he pulled out the fruit knife and threw it directly into the trash can on the side of the road.
Taking advantage of the lack of people on the road, I left the grocery store and tied the leather case with a knife on it to the belt loop. Then cover it with a coat and underwear, so it should be hard to see, right?
All right! Now, where am I going?
I looked at the watch in my hand, and it was already close to 6 o'clock. At this point in time, I always feel so delicate, and the luggage on my back is relatively heavy, so I still have to find a hotel as soon as possible to drop off my things.
It was just as I was thinking about where there were better and cheaper hotels nearby, and I realized that I was heading in the direction of the central plaza.
[Yes......! 】
When I saw the central square, I suddenly remembered! When I was chased by the man in the flower shirt, my bicycle was left here and never picked up!
[Let's go get the car back first...... It's also good to have a means of transportation in the future. 】
I put my hand in my trouser pocket and touched it, yes! It's okay, the keys are still there! That way, you don't have to worry about it at all...
【…… Brother Tian? 】
Suddenly, a familiar voice passed by me! There's only one person who can call me that, thinking to himself, "Wouldn't you?!" At the same time, I slowly turned my head away.
Sure enough, I guessed it right! The one who braked sharply in front of me was the cousin who wore black-framed glasses and had a little natural blonde hair, Zhang Jiahai! But strangely, under him, there was also a bicycle.
[It's really Brother Tian! Are you going home? Then go quickly, I'll be back in a while...]
[Wait!] Before he could finish speaking, I grabbed his clothes: [...... I said, I've had some trouble lately, and I'm not going to go home. Can you tell your mom about that too? 】
Although I don't know what Ah Hai is thinking at this moment, I saw him look at me anxiously, and then he put my hand away: [Okay, okay! I know! Then you go quickly, don't waste time! 】
[Stinky boy! What kind of attitude is this? Seeing his tone so bad, I couldn't help but want to tease him a little: [Did you eat dynamite today? Why do I always feel like you're trying to be perfunctory to me? 】
[Damn!] Don't make a fuss?! Lao Tzu has serious things to do! But Ah Hai didn't notice my playful mentality at this time, and he stepped on the pedal again, ready to soar forward.
Seeing his reaction so strong, I lost that interest. Anyway, this guy promised me not to tell my aunt about seeing me, so he shouldn't betray me?
I'm still a little uneasy, just in case. So he pulled his legs and ran in the direction of Zhang Jiahai's bicycle. After catching up with him, I asked in a breathless tone:
[Hey! Ah Hai, you really don't betray me......]
[I said that you are not annoying! Get lost! Lao Tzu is dying now! 】
What are you doing?! From just now, this kid's attitude was very wrong, and his tone was full of malice! Anyway, I'm also a cousin, doesn't this guy know what politeness is!
[Slow down, slow down! I grabbed the back seat of his bicycle with one hand: "What do you say you're in a hurry? Why are you stepping on it so fast? 】
Finally, Ah Hai, who couldn't bear it anymore, broke out: [It's so annoying! Sister Jun has been kidnapped! Are you so satisfied?! Get out of here! 】
At that moment, I thought I had misheard. At the same time as he was shocked, he let go of the back seat as soon as his hand went soft. In the end, I can only see the single body shadow in the distance.
What's going on?! A-kun was kidnapped?!
Ahai, is that guy just lying to me? After all, it's impossible! She has no grudges with others, even if she is looking for revenge, she should be looking for me instead of her! She didn't do anything, why was she taken captive?!
Is it just an ordinary kidnapper? And how did Ah Hai know that she was captured?!
If I really just want a ransom, then it's okay to do, but what I'm most afraid of is that the group of people who "organized" took a fancy to the people around me and shot at them one by one!
If what Ah Hai said is true, then the one who is most likely to make a move on Ah Jun is......
[Zhang Wenbin......! It had to be him! 】
Looking at the front of Ah Hai just now, his figure stepping on the pedal had long disappeared at the end of the street. Although I don't know why he is in such a hurry, I always feel that it is impossible not to keep up!
Without further ado! I immediately stopped a taxi from the street, and as luck would have it, an empty car pulled over at the beckon.
As soon as I got into the car, I asked the driver to speed up and walk in the direction of Ah Hai just now. Although I could see the confusion from the driver's slightly wrinkled forehead, I didn't have time to explain so much to him now!
The road outside the car window is straight, and here there are a few restaurants that don't look very good, except for the Tianduhui community. So even though it's rush hour, there won't be traffic jams.
[Driver, please speed up!] 】
[It's already soon!] The speed has reached 60 per hour, and if it is fast, it will be suspended! 】
I said, there will be no traffic police in such a desolate place! You're going to get to 80!
Towards the end of the road, the driver made a turn and entered the intersection on the left. It's a straight route again, but there looks like there's a train track in the middle.
[Found it!] 】
Seeing Ah Hai pumping the car with all his might not far ahead, I was secretly happy that I had caught up with him. As I approached him, I rolled down the window and shouted outside:
【Ahai! Where are you going?! Quickly make it clear! What do you say about A-Jun! 】
Seeing that I actually caught up in a taxi, Zhang Jiahai's face couldn't help but be full of surprise, but he only stayed for two seconds before replying to me:
[Brother Tian! It's the white van in front! Chase! 】
As soon as I got the answer, I turned my head back to look ahead. Blocked by two or three cars, I could finally barely see the van that Ah Hai said!
