Chapter 289: The Man with Six Fingers
There was a silence for dozens of seconds, and I stared at Zhu Changle for a moment, until her calm appearance began to crack, revealing a hint of sneer.
I withdrew my eyes and pushed the menu to the opposite side, "Order whatever you want to eat." β
"Ah, I want to eat lotus root, I want to eat lotus root!"
Li Yue'er shouted, Zhu Changle handed her the menu with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes swept towards me.
After ordering and waiting, the hot meals were served one by one, and the atmosphere at the dinner table did not change much.
I don't speak, occasionally Li Yue'er says a few words to me, and I just smile and deal with it.
Eating my meal quietly, suddenly a pair of chopsticks sandwiched a piece of fat but not greasy braised pork into my bowl.
I looked up, and Zhu Changle had already turned his face.
"Hey, Ning Huan, don't you eat? Don't you like meat the most? Li Yue'er's eyes flashed wide, and she looked salivating at the meat in my bowl.
I raised an eyebrow and swept towards the table, which I couldn't help but be taken aback.
This......
When the dish has gone for the most part.
The original braised pork was only full of red tomato sauce, and a few plates of fish and white cut meat were almost disc.
I looked suspiciously in the direction of Zhu Changle.
Zhu Changle was holding the chopsticks and going to pick up the bitter gourd slices in the porcelain plate, noticed that my eyes were raised, and said, "Hey stinky mud, what are you looking at me for?" I got two pieces of meat, one of which I just gave back to you. β
In the bowl of white rice, there is indeed a piece of braised pork lying quietly.
I retracted my gaze and caught a glimpse of Li Yue'er happily holding the greens, her cheeks chewing quickly. Full of rhythm. couldn't help but widen her eyes, it was her......
No way.
"Tsk. This girl looks like an elf princess in a fairy tale, who would have thought that eating would be so violent. Where did you pick up this fierce girl in the stinky mud? β
Poof, violent......
When I saw Li Yue'er with a greasy mouth, I couldn't hide the smile in my eyes, but when I turned back, I happened to meet Zhu Changle's gaze, and I immediately smiled and pursed my lips to pick up rice.
Zhu Changle glanced at it a few times, chuckled, and continued to eat without saying anything.
A meal is full of flavors, and I'm afraid that the only one who really eats deliciously is Li Yue'er, who lacks roots and tendons.
After eating. The first one to rush to check out was Zhu Changle.
She stood up and stopped directly in front of the boss, took the list and patted the boss on the shoulder and walked out: "Boss, come on, let's go check out, by the way, I want to ask you what the secret recipe is for that braised pork?" It's so delicious......"
The boss was coaxed so that he couldn't see his teeth and eyes, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Where, where, my wife just cooks home-cooked food, hahaha." β
"It turned out to be the handiwork of the proprietress ! Boss, you are really blessed, not only in your mouth, but also in a happy life. Huh. Let me, a lonely man, envy me to death. β
"Eh, the little girl's family is still long, are you young and handsome and still worried about finding a good partner? Well, I'll give you a 7% discount. Just wish the little girl to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible. β
"Really? Wow, boss, you're such a nice guy! I was wrong just now, the boss lady is really blessed to marry you. β
"Hahaha......"
The small restaurant is only a few square meters of space. The conversation between the two came out clearly.
I drank it coldly, and my eyes drooped slightly.
A few words can coax a person. This is Zhu Changle's ability.
Ten years on, it seems that this skill of hers is still increasing. Presumably, after the experience of the social dyeing vat, she should be more and more perfect.
Grunt.
A small piece of bone rolled from that end to my bowl.
When I looked up, I saw Li Yue'er wiping her mouth, burping by the way, and said with satisfaction: "It's just right to eat no more, no less, hehe." β
Four-fifths of the meal went into the girl's stomach, and she said that she ate just right. Hey.
I couldn't help but pull the corners of my mouth and reached out to pull her up: "Okay, let's go on the road when you're full." β
I have to go to Huang Jia as soon as possible to gather.
Walking out of the restaurant, I wish Changle to leave early.
Li Yue'er regretted that she couldn't play with the kind and interesting boss for a while, but I was secretly relieved.
Fortunately, I wish Changle to be a good person.
On second thought, she was so interested in it back then, so she left me to protect herself. Now it's just a little bit smarter.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer.
Li Yue'er looked at me strangely: "Hey, Ning Huan, you-"
"Let's go."
I walked forward, not wanting to say anything more.
In early summer, the weather began to heat up, and for some reason this year's summer came very early, and the sun was a little fierce, and the sun made people dizzy.
"Ning Huan, where is your friend......"
Although Li Yue'er is still quite energetic, she can't stay up to the sun, and her voice is much weaker.
"It's just ahead." I comforted.
Actually, I don't know Huang Jia's final location either.
She drew a simple shoulder and a small village on the trunk of the tree, not to a specific point, and we had to find it on our own when we came to the small village.
After walking for a while, Li Yue'er saw a shady place on the side, and couldn't help but jump over and hide, where she was as happy as a little monkey.
I stopped to take a sip of water, looked at the sun in the sky, and looked at the road I had found all the way, and I was somewhat worried.
Looking at it from house to house, how long will it take to discover Huang Jia's hiding place.
What is this damn woman angry with me, and how long are you going to hide......
I rolled my eyes helplessly, and when I turned my head to look somewhere, I couldn't help but pause, that figure was - I didn't even have time to screw the bottle, I hurriedly chased after it.
But after turning two corners, I lost people even more.
I stood at the entrance of the alley and felt a chill down my spine, and looked around, no, there was no figure.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him.
I jerked my head back, and there was an elven ghost standing in the backlight.
It's a long wish.
"Ning Huan, what are you doing standing here stupidly?"
"Nope." I casually walked over, and when she got closer, I thought about it and asked, "Where did you come from?" β
Zhu Changle came in the right direction, maybe he would meet that person.
"Hmm. What's wrong? β
"Did you see anyone when you came?"
"Who?"
I described it to her in a straight way: "Men, tall and thin, like to look at people with their eyes spinning. Oh, by the way, his left and right hands are different from ordinary people. Each has six fingers. How's that, have you seen it? β
Zhu Changle's eyes were bright and a little sharp, and my heart was inexplicably tightened, and I forgot to find someone at the moment.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
Zhu Changle's scrutinizing gaze came: "If I ask you who you are, you should tell me his name and identity, instead of describing his appearance to me." β
I was stunned for a moment, and before I could think of how to answer, Zhu Changle had already put on a smiling face, and walked over and pinched my cheek: "Poof." Little mud, how can you follow me, you are so timid, where is there a six-fingered man? You can't see ghosts in broad daylight. β
As soon as the ghost word came out, both of them were silent.
In the middle of the sound, I took the lead in breaking the silence: "Changle, tell the truth, what do you want to do with us all the way?" β
Zhu Changle's smile remained unchanged, and he asked me rhetorically: "Little mud, did you buy this road and this village?" Since it's not. Why can't I go? β
I sank my face: "You know what I mean, the first time we met in the market can be said to be a coincidence, then the hotel, the restaurant, and now we are talking face-to-face at the alley of the same village." Isn't that what you want to achieve? β
Zhu Changle's smile faded. With a slight mockery: "The situation I want?" Little mud, tell me, what is the situation I want? Is it blocking you at the entrance of the alley? Forcing you to bask in the sun? β
At this point, she is still pretending.
I sneered, "Do you have to say it clearly, okay!" Back then, you left me alone to endure bullying and exclusion. You've ignored friendship and morality, and now that ten years have passed, you want to make amendsβ"
"What do I make up!" Zhu Changle interrupted me sharply. "People don't die for themselves, not to mention that even if I helped you in that situation at that time, what could I change if I stood on your side? It's just two people being bullied together......"
I gritted my teeth and said, "One person is dead, two people are supportive, this is the difference!" β
Zhu Changle sneered: "Little mud, don't be so naΓ―ve, what kind of support, don't you know what the orphanage is like?" Just because one person is trapped and the other rescues her doesn't mean it's going to be successful. β
I whispered, "You didn't try, you're selfish!" β
"Yes, I wish Changle is selfish! Because I was abandoned by my selfish biological parents since I was a child, even the person who created me shows that this world is selfish! What's wrong with me? I don't want two people to go to hell together...... What's wrong with me? β
A trace of stubborn fragility appeared on Zhu Changle's always exquisite and clever face: "Little mud, you say, what's wrong with me?" β
There is no longer any need for the dialogue to continue.
How can you wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep?
I and Zhu Changle's three views are not at all the same.
I turned around and left with cold eyes, Zhu Changle was quiet for a while behind me, and began to shout: "Ning Huan! You think I'm going to feel guilty! Yes, I wish Changle is selfish, and I just have no conscience ******! So I don't feel guilty, never then, never then! β
Whatever.
I closed my eyes slightly, and I didn't even look away quickly.
My heart is clogged, I don't care about this friendship, but she is still like this to this day, and I can't care if I care.
No matter what kind of relationship is two-way, it doesn't necessarily require a return, but it is definitely not a betrayal like Zhu Changle.
Rounding out the alley and bend, I came to the shade to look for Li Yue'er, but found that she was talking to two middle-aged people, a man and a woman.
I frowned, what is this for?
Thinking of her passion for matchmaking, I couldn't help but feel the alarm bell in my heart, and I rushed over.
"Yue'er!"
Li Yue'er's head squeezed out of the shoulders of the middle-aged man and woman, tilted her head, and smiled at me in surprise: "Hey, Ning Huan, you're back!" He beckoned to me again and again: "Quick, come here." This eldest brother and eldest sister are in serious trouble, and I know that a warm-hearted spirit like you will definitely help you. β
Big trouble?
It won't be a twilight love, a love triangle, breaking through the barriers of the world and clamoring to elope......
I couldn't stand the opening of my brain, and when I got closer, I found that the mental state of this pair of middle-aged men and women was not very good, especially the man's eyes were dark, his lips were also very dark, and his medium body shape looked a whole circle larger.
Very abnormal puffiness.
In addition, the woman's spirit is not good, her eyes are sometimes sloppy, and she is erratic when she looks at people, which is obviously a lack of sleep.
And not the kind of man-made.
I raised my eyebrows slightly, it seems that Li Yue'er was right.
This middle-aged man and woman are indeed in big trouble.
"Big brother, big sister, do you have any troubles that you want to tell us?" I try to smile as much as I can and be amiable.
Li Yue'er also echoed: "Yes, yes, I'm very good, Ning Huan is okay, we can help you!" β
"......" The corners of my mouth twitched, is this a compliment, I thank you.
It's just that I talked a lot with Li Yue'er, and I couldn't completely erase the little uneasiness and suspicion left in the hearts of middle-aged men and women, the two discussed on the side for a while, and said to us apologetically: "Little girl, thank you for your kindness, but my son's matter is too tricky, I'm afraid-"
"Afraid of what? What is there to be afraid of. β
A crisp voice broke through the air, and Zhu Changle appeared on the stage with sunglasses, his small mouth and small eyebrows trembled, and the momentum on his body was already very strong without unfolding.
"If you look at people when they are young and young and beautiful, you suspect others, and this is because of small mistakes. Think about it, if it weren't for the fact that they had a few real skills, based on their age, how could they see at a glance that the two of them were in trouble? Therefore, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, you will not cherish this opportunity, okay. β
Zhu Changle pushed his sunglasses, reached out and pulled me with one hand, and Li Yue'er with the other, and was about to move forward: "Little mud, Yue'er, we can't afford to lose this person, since others are not willing to accept free help, why should we suffer from this suspicion?" Let's go, sister, please eat ice-"
Li Yue'er and I were defenseless, and were confused by Zhu Changle's sudden move, and took several steps before reacting.
Li Yue'er's eyes widened: "Boss Zhu! β
Zhu Changle rolled his eyes: "Please, eldest sister Yue'er, aunt and grandmother!" Yes, I wish the boss! Don't always confuse me with Zhu Bajie, okay? β
"Oh. I'm sorry. Li Yue'er obediently admitted her mistake.
I jumped on my temples on the side, and I couldn't help but speak for Yue'er: "Cinnabar and Zhu and the pig-headed pig are two different things, and you and Yue'er are only half a catty." β
Don't look down on anyone.
Zhu Changle's eyes widened: "Hey, little mud, you-"
"Waitβ"
Just as the three of us were arguing, the hesitant middle-aged man and woman finally relented and hurried over.
Zhu Changle quickly cast me a smug look: Look, it's still my sister, my wrist is high, learn a little!
I stared at her arrogant face and gave only one word of evaluation: Phew!
"Two girlsβ" the middle-aged man began, "we are willing to believe the two girls, please come to my house!" (To be continued.) )
