Chapter 27: The Search for the Truth (Correcting a typo)
Now that he has decided to go to F City to find the truth/appearance, Xia Luo began to prepare for this matter.
Calculating the most days he could leave, Charo booked a round-trip train ticket, and before leaving, he saved a large number of spices and sent them to the kitchen.
The high-speed rail is very fast, and I heard that because it is too fast, the track is one high and one low.
Charo clearly felt unsteady as she walked down the aisle, leaning on her chair and looking at the flowers and trees that flashed outside the window, her thoughts fluttered.
For a while, I thought about whether the child would not be used to it in the past few days when she left, thinking about whether Su Chu could take care of the child, and worried about whether Fu Zhuozhao would starve and lose weight in his own child - he couldn't even feed Fu Yinuo fat; After a while, she wondered if her trip would go well, and her mind kept imagining all kinds of situations she might encounter when she returned.
Maybe it's a living Charlotte with a Susie's soul, maybe it's a news of death, or maybe it's ...... There is no such thing as Charlotte at all.
In either case, Charo felt like she could accept it calmly.
Not only because this long time has eliminated her fears, but also because she already has a family, a child, a younger brother, and her own self-made business, with these strong backing behind her, what else she can't accept.
City F is farther south than City A, the temperature is on the high side, Xia Luo just walked out of the station, was a little dizzy by the dazzling sun, Xia Luo raised his hand in front of his eyes to cover the sun, squinting at this city she had lived in for thirty years, familiar can no longer be familiar.
Developed transportation allowed her to return to the land in a matter of hours, but the strangeness crept in for some reason.
Obviously, nothing has changed, go straight to the right is KFC, go straight to the left is McDonald's, go ahead and then go forward is Tex, the third one in front of Tex is California beef noodles, and the fifth is Yonghe soy milk...... Not only these have not changed, but even the location of the trash cans at the entrance of the station is still so chic.
However, after each trip, the sense of homecoming was gone, and she stood on the land like a tourist looking left and right.
Instead of taking a taxi, Charo walked slowly along the familiar route with his backpack on his back.
Passing through an underground passage full of inferior goods, he took out the change on his body and gave it to the wandering singer who sang at the entrance of the passage.
Walking down the bustling streets, until she couldn't walk anymore, Charo stopped a taxi and drove towards the neighborhood where she used to live.
The car stopped at the door of the hotel near the community, and the hotel waiter helped her drive with a smile, not the handsome little guy she could see every time she passed by before, it should be a newcomer.
Following the revolving door into the hotel lobby, Xia Luo looked back and forth at its decoration with some curiosity, to be honest, although she had passed by here a lot before, it was the first time she had come in to stay.
The service desk was on the left, Xia Luo walked over and asked for a double bed room, and took the room card handed by the front desk, room 606.
Xia Luo's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows danced in an instant, this number is really auspicious, and his next action must be the same as the room number - six or six Shun.
It is said that the beginning of haode is half the battle, and an auspicious room number instantly dispelled Xia Luo's exhaustion.
After a simple trimming, Xia Luo rushed to a small restaurant downstairs in her former community with her small bag, the small restaurant itself has no characteristics, and the dishes are very average, but there are two dishes, a yellow peach pot wrapped meat, and a crispy yellow cabbage made absolutely authentic.
Xia Luo used to eat it every once in a while, otherwise he would scratch his heart and liver.
Now that I've finally come to F City, I'm going to put aside the other things first, and it's serious to have a good meal first.
It is not yet the high peak period of eating, there are a few tables of people sitting scattered in the hall, Xia Luo sits in the old position where she used to sit, and looks at the other people's tables aimlessly between waiting for dishes, almost every table has a yellow peach pot wrapped meat, and where there are ladies' tables, there must be crispy yellow vegetables.
The dish came up quickly, Xia Luo almost couldn't wait to break open the chopsticks and directly sandwich a piece of pot wrapped meat into his mouth, the sweet and sour taste immediately filled the entire mouth, coupled with the fragrance of yellow peaches, the tenderness of the meat mixed together went straight to the taste buds, Xia Luo closed his eyes and reveled in admiration: What an unparalleled enjoyment!
Eat a piece of pot-wrapped meat and drink saliva and then eat a piece of crispy yellow cabbage, then drink a sip of water and then eat a piece of pot-wrapped meat, and so on and so on, only to see chopsticks and water cups flying together, Xia Luo is a foodie.
This way of eating is the original of Xia Luo in the past, no way, the pot wrapped meat is sweet and sour, but Su Huangcai is an authentic dessert, the two dishes eat together The taste inevitably collides together, and then their respective tastes are like discounts, and the other dishes in this small restaurant are extremely unpalatable, which really destroys the good mood of eating food, Xia Luo has no choice but to use white water to mediate the taste. Xia Luo had secretly complained before that this restaurant definitely survived on these two dishes, and it should have closed down a long time ago at the level of other dishes.
I don't know how this chef is done, it's so polarized!
Charo was enjoying her meal while muttering at the chef, when suddenly there was darkness in front of her, and a figure stood in front of the table.
Xia Luo raised his head suspiciously, he was a very energetic young man, wearing a white apron and a white hat, typical of a chef's dress.
Like a gust of wind blowing beside her, Xia Luo shrank her neck weakly, isn't it, she just vomited two sentences in her heart and the main person appeared, don't you want to be so supernatural.
"Uh, what's the matter with you?" Swallowing the pot wrapped meat, Xia Luo asked weakly.
The chef's facial expression is strange, a little nostalgic, a little sad. His eyes were empty, as if he was looking at someone else through her.
The chair in front of him was gently pulled away, and the chef sat down across from Charlo, "You eat a lot like a person." ”?
Charo straightened her back instantly, clenched her fists and tried to suppress her urge to catch the chef and ask carefully, she took a small sip of the water glass, and calmed herself down for a short time with this action, she tried to say to the chef in a somewhat relaxed and teasing tone: "Who? It can't be your ex-girlfriend, right? If you really answer like that, it's a bit like a pick-up! ”
The chef laughed in a word, but the nostalgic and sad look became more obvious, he shook his head and said: "It's not an ex-girlfriend, it's a guest, she used to come often, and she also sat in this position, ordering two dishes like you, not calling for rice, just a pot of water, and then eating a mouthful of food, drinking a mouthful of water, eating a mouthful of food, and then drinking a mouthful of water, often self-absorbed as if she was eating a palace feast Manchu Han full banquet, every time she came here, I watched her in the kitchen, and I thought she was very funny." ”
You're funny! You're so much fun! Your whole family is funny! Your whole family is so much fun!
Charlotte thought in her heart.
It brings you so much fun, not to mention a discount, who will put on a pose similar to a crush! Flip the table!
Just when the villain in Xia Luo's heart was manic, I only heard the chef say leisurely, "It's a pity that she can't come again......"
The broken thoughts stopped suddenly, and the manic villain in his heart also quieted down for a moment, and sat there obediently like a little lady, holding his hands on his cheeks and preparing to listen to the follow-up development.
Xia Luo asked a little nervously, "weishenme...... Can't ...... anymore Here it comes? ”
The chef opened his mouth under Xia Luo's invisible expectation, but did not make a sound, and then sighed deeply and shook his head, "Forget it, don't say it, it's sad to mention it." ”
I'll it! Without such a playful person, the little lady who was waiting to hear the result in Xia Luo's heart turned into a violent villain in an instant, and she couldn't wait to rush out and pull the chef's collar and shake and torture.
Xia Luo grinded his teeth, took another sip of water to calm down, and then said in a slightly dissatisfied voice: "It's too unkind to hook up other people's curiosity and not finish it!" ”
"......" the cook was silent for a moment.
Charo urged him with his eyes.
"Alas......" another sigh, and the cook spoke, his voice low and difficult: "She...... He's dead! ”
The voice was small, but Charlotte, who was engrossed, caught it.
This ending had been expected by her, and there was even a bit of speculation when the chef said that she would not come back, but when the speculation was confirmed, Charlotte's heart still throbbed uncontrollably.
"Sizzle~" Xia Luo took a breath quietly and unconsciously covered his chest.
"What's wrong with you?" The chef noticed her strange appearance and asked with some concern.
Xia Luo hurriedly let go of the hand covering his chest, and waved softly, "It's okay, I accidentally bit my tongue," after answering the chef's question, Xia Luo asked back: "The one you said about her...... How did you die? ”
The chef did not hide it later, and whispered: "No disaster, at that time, there was a lot of trouble in our place, and there were also reports in the newspapers, and I heard the prisoner who was caught confessing that he just wanted to steal something valuable while the owner of the house was sleeping, but he didn't expect the owner of the house to wake up, and the prisoner panicked, picked up the wrench of his sled window and knocked it over, originally just wanted to knock people unconscious, but I didn't want to beat people to death directly with excessive tension." ”
And so he died......
Lying on the soft big bed in the hotel, Xia Luo stared at the beige ceiling in a daze.
The chef's words rolled back and forth in her head over and over again.
No disaster! No disaster!
According to those words, she could already reconstruct in her mind the entire image of her death.
A sneaky thief sled open the window of her house with a wrench, cautiously entered the bedroom, and saw the white gold necklace and diamond ring she had casually thrown on the bedside dresser before going to bed by the moonlight that poured in through the window.
He was so greedy that he put all these things in his pocket, and he must have tried to rummage through her jewelry box again.
The box had a problem not long ago, and it creaked unpleasantly when opened, and she didn't bother to fix it because it wasn't used often.
I also knew that it must be the creaking sound of the thief opening the box that was heard by her in her sleep, and she was so confused that she was about to wake up, and was killed by the panicked stupid thief.
I'm going to rub it! No wonder she wasn't impressed.
I grinded my teeth hard, and I really wanted to kick the thief twice.
Just this psychological quality, just this trick is embarrassed to come out and mix, really T/M/D to the thief world shame.
Charo pulled out a pillow from the head of the bed in disgust, imagining that this was the thief's face rubbing it with all his might, and before he could finish it, he fell to the ground and ran over his foot twice.
After doing all this, she threw herself into the soft big bed like she lost her strength, rolled back and forth twice with the quilt, surrounded herself into a silkworm baby, shrunk in the quilt and sniffed aggrievedly.
The old lady is really a great grievance of life and death!
