Chapter 64: Strangers of the same origin, brothers
64, strangers have the same origin, brothers
Looking down from this mountain peak called Amperos, you can see the bustling streets of the small town of Palarodo, Colombia's transportation facilities are not very developed, the town with highway rest stations and exits has unique conditions, the geographical location here is superior, 400 kilometers to the south is the Caribbean Sea, a few hours north is Medellín, but up and down to the nearest rest point to the town of Pararodo are more than 100 kilometers, this situation has caused today's prosperous town.
At dusk, the rays of the setting sun cast long shadows on the distant mountains, which dimmed and created a moon-like view on the horizon.
The town is built on a hill, and the streets of the town wind along the hills, where there are brightly colored houses, some green, some purple, some yellow, and a few slightly taller buildings that paint themselves in a colorful way, but all the houses are covered with red roofs, and they are closely lined up along the narrow roads, reflecting the green trees of the hills.
Ten minutes down the winding streets is the town's small square, built around a huge stone, behind which there is a splendid church painted gold, surrounded by several mansions, in front of which are large iron gates made of wrought iron several meters high, tall evergreen trees in the garden, and a few small fountains on the neatly manicured lawn that are constantly spraying water outward.
Passing through the church and the mansions, the main street of the town is also built around the hill, but it is a little wider than the street on the other side of the residential area, the buildings on both sides of the street are neat and clean, the neon lights of several express hotels start flashing from 5 p.m., and the various restaurants are open 24 hours a day, in order to facilitate travelers from the north and south.
The name of the 'Lion Awakening Hotel' is very loud, and the signboard is also "extraordinary", a large lion made of neon lights with teeth and claws opens on time at 6 p.m. every day, and three characters in Chinese, English and Spanish shine on the sign.
However, it is called the 'Grand Hotel', but it actually has only 6 rooms in total. On the ground floor is the dining room, with bright green wooden floors and a few black-and-white abstract paintings on the cream-painted walls, a wine cabinet full of wine behind a 3-meter long bar, a few rough wooden tables on the floor, and a Slook pool table on the other side, which is a restaurant by day and a bar by night.
The proprietress is a 30-year-old San Antro girl with a graceful posture, and the people here call her 'Athena'.
Athena has a bumpy figure, no fat on her body, delicate facial features, always smiles before speaking, a pair of eyes can drip water, the Caribbean sun leaves an olive color on her smooth skin, and her brown hair is soft and shiny, even in slippers and plain shorts T-shirt, she is still as dazzling.
It stands to reason that such a woman opening a hotel in a town like Paralodo alone should be coveted by countless thieves who come and go, and of course there are people who have done this, kidnapped her, and hid her.
But they didn't succeed, and within 24 hours she returned unharmed, and later heard that the bodies of the two men who coveted her beauty had appeared hundreds of kilometers away at the foot of a cliff, and that their genitals had been cut off before they died. Since then, few people have heard of the female boss of the 'Lion Awakening Hotel' being molested, after all, she can't do it for that little thing and will be abused after death.
But today the landlady is very appreciative of a strange guest, not only personally help the guest register and send the guest upstairs to the room, when the guest comes down to eat, Athena also gives a glass of good wine, unfortunately the ordinary guest does not seem to appreciate it, just nodding his head, the glass of wine on the table does not move.
As usual, the restaurant was busy at dinner time, but the guest sat in the corner, occupying a table for two people, and did not leave after eating, but sat at the table quietly drinking tea, he wore a certain soft-brimmed hat on his head, whether he was eating or drinking, his left hand was always under the table, and his eyes under the brim were as cold as rocks.
Athena left the cashier job to a little girl, and the slipper bar chirped into the back kitchen, and several chefs were busy making meals, and they didn't have time to look up to say hello when Athena walked in.
In the middle of the kitchen there was a bench, sitting a bare Asian man, unable to tell the actual grade, with a huge rosacea nose on his thin face, with a pair of eagle eyes, thin lips, red face, pitted skin, like a mark left by a lot of small stones, wearing a greasy chef's suit, a pair of big shorts on the bottom, the big slippers on his feet were probably the product of ten years ago, and the cigarette butts between his slender and dry fingers were about to burn out.
"Warcraft."
"Huh?" The bald man looked up at Athena, a hint of banter flashing in his eyes, and his voice was clear and gentle.
"Still sitting there?" He cocked his chin at the restaurant.
"Yes, you know he's here for you?" Athena's voice was soft, just like the way she yelled in the restaurant.
"Feeling."
"Feelings??" Athena didn't care how greasy the clothes of the guy called the monster were, and sat down on his lap, her hands around his neck, "What does it feel?" ”
"It's just a feeling, you don't understand, he's the same person as me." The Monster's eagle eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to put the cigarette in his mouth, only to find that the cigarette had been completely extinguished, and only half of the cigarette butt remained.
"Master, smoke." One of the chefs, who had been busy even turning a blind eye to the proprietress with eyes behind his back, took out a pack of 'Marlboro' from his pocket and threw it in the direction of the monster. The chef was also bald, but with a strong build, a high nose and deep eyes, and a brown face with scars that made him look like a Caucasian.
The monster raised his hand to catch it, reached out and touched Athena's face, "I'll go talk to him." ”
Athena's soft body twisted on the monster, hugged his face and kissed him before letting him get up, the monster raised his hand and touched the top of his bare head, and walked out of the kitchen with his slippers, Athena walked behind him, looking at his back as straight as a javelin, his eyes were confused.
"How? How does the food taste here? It's to your taste, right? The beast bypassed the few regulars who greeted him, and walked straight to sit down across from the strange guest.
He spoke in a Beijing accent.
"It's delicious, I didn't expect to be able to eat stir-fried pork here." The guest on the other side looked up at him, and he also spoke authentic Mandarin, and his rock-like cold eyes showed a smile.
"Zhou Rui, the people here like to call me Warcraft." The bald man Zhou Rui took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Get one?" ”
"Mo Lei, you can call me a mask." Mo Lei took the cigarette, took off his hat, and shook his head, "No problem, my nickname is very vivid." I'm still quite delicate inside. ”
"Stranger brother, I actually have hair, they call me bald." Warcraft Zhou Rui lit the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and when he saw that Mo Lei was still holding it in his hand, he laughed and threw the lighter in his hand. "Why did you get here?"
"I've been told that if I need help here, I can ask you. Did you know I was coming?? So ask your girlfriend to bring me a drink. ”
The eagle eyes of the monster smiled, "I said that you are like a firefly in the night, do you believe it?" Ha ha. Need money? How much? ”
"Hehe, you know, if I need money, there should be a lot of ways to get it, right?" Mo Lei also lit the cigarette in his hand and took a puff in his mouth.
"I don't do anything that violates the law and discipline, I am a good citizen. By the way, do I need to ask, how did you find out that I was here? ”
"Hearsay, it's easy to find here, there are two or three Chinese chefs in dozens of restaurants, but it is said that there is only one shop in the wilderness after someone robbed and raped the proprietress in an attempt, not to mention that my nose is still smart, and I can smell the same kind of smell." Mo Lei grinned at the demonic beast, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the expression on the other party's face.
The bald man still had a warm smile on his face, and raised his hand to wave to Athena who was standing at the cash register, "Boss, how many red star two pot heads do I have?" Bring me a bottle. ”
"Have a drink? Where did it come from? Zhou Rui took the wine and two glasses sent by Athena, filled up the wine, and handed the first glass to Mo Lei.
"Thanks, with you in the same place." Mo Lei took the wine glass and put it beside him.
"What year is the soldier?"
"'94."
"Much later than me, what? Don't drink? ”
After speaking, Zhou Rui took a big sip of the wine glass and exhaled with satisfaction,
"Fuck, I've been here for nine years, and I still can't forget it. I'm afraid I won't forget it until I die. ”
