Chapter Thirty-Three: The Strange Man
"Where did you live when you weren't running a commissary?" I was curious about Old Man Feng's past and wanted to hear his story. Ever since I became the innkeeper, I didn't know much about this neighbor. I always feel that Old Man Feng is not simple, of course, I am not the only one who wants to hear his story, but also Hongfu and a young man.
There were few guests in the early morning, so I sat next to Old Man Feng and watched Hongfu run over with a jump. With a snort, he called me very earnestly: "Boss." ”
My scalp was numb from her call, and I just wanted to open my mouth to scold her, but I couldn't get out of my mouth when I looked at her big flickering eyes. I suddenly found that Hongfu's dress today has changed from the fresh style of the past, directly braided his hair into a beautiful braid, wearing a camel-colored coat and slacks, and stepping on 10 cm high heels, which is very feminine.
After knowing her for so long, I realized that she still has such a side. But it was clear that she wanted me to compliment her. I briefly praised her twice, and then shifted my gaze to Old Man Feng.
My compliment was very useful to Hongfu, she nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Thank you, boss." Then he brought a chair and sat down against me. The young man stood beside him.
Old man Feng changed his posture and was about to tell us about the past, when he saw the strange man beside Hongfu at a glance, his face changed instantly.
"What's wrong? Uncle: "I feel strange.
"Girl doll, let me ask you, do you know him." As he spoke, he glanced at the man next to him.
Hongfu glanced blankly at the man next to him, shook his head and said:
"No! I don't know. Didn't he come to talk to you, uncle? ”
Old Man Feng rolled his eyes and continued, "He's not here to talk to me, he's here to find this kid." After speaking, he turned his mouth towards my Nunu. Hongfu immediately smiled and gave me a look that she understood.
I knew she was trying to be crooked again. Just kidding, I'm a straight man of steel, how can I be interested in men? Now that I heard that he was looking for me, I couldn't continue to pretend I didn't know. I had to take him back to the inn.
I turned on my computer and his message immediately appeared on the big screen. The man turned out to be a guest at the inn. You don't have to think about it to know that it was a wrongful death in the hospital. The computer showed that his name was Qiu Tian,
is only 20 years old, not very old, and it is unlucky to become a vain ghost.
"Is there anything you need my help with?" I asked.
Qiu Tian looked at me with a complaining look and did not speak.
"As long as you mention it, I will help you." Again, I stress it again.
"I want to see Qingxue."
It was just a short sentence, and after saying that, Qiu Tian didn't say anything again, and went back to the room directly, leaving me at a loss at the counter, so I could only figure it out by myself.
Who is Qingxue? Qiu Tian's childhood sweetheart, or a playmate, friend or lover? It's all possible. This person's name can be any person, and everyone he has met in the past twenty years may be this person, so the scope is too wide to look for in this way!
I was so confused that I could only try to find information about him on my computer. With the speed of a king who has been single for more than 20 years, I only found his high school and home address, and nothing else.
After listening to the story told by Old Man Feng, Hongfu hummed a little song in his mouth and came back happily. Seeing that my brows were furrowed, he waved his big hand: "Say it!" Do you want my sister to help you? ”
I gave him a blank look: "Bah! I'm your boss anyway, please pay attention to your attitude, and be careful that I deduct your salary. ”
Hongfu looked neither humble nor arrogant: "Not bending my waist for five buckets of rice is the foundation of my Hong family, but I will reluctantly help you when I see your pitiful appearance." ”
I could tell that she was looking for a staircase for herself, and I didn't care so much, so I directly told her about Qiu Tian's situation. Hongfu scratched his head and thought for a while, then pulled me out the door.
Along the way, Hongfu took me to an urban village that had deviated from the city center. There are still brick houses from the late 90s, which look very old, and I was stunned by the alleys after a few steps. There are many residents here, and every alley is full of people and crowded.
I don't understand why Hongfu brought me here, could it be that Qingxue lives here?
Hongfu looked at me with mentally retarded eyes, full of disgust.
"You're stupid! Qingxue is obviously a girl's name, since Qiu Tian will mention this name, it must be because this girl is very important to him, either the girl he likes is his childhood sweetheart. Qiu Tian's family lives here, if his childhood sweetheart is called Qingxue, then we can take her to see Qiu Tian. ”
As soon as I heard it, what Hongfu said made sense. Indeed, the people who make Qiu Tian unforgettable probably only have these two possibilities. We soon came to a run-down looking alley with only one household. The door was made of wood, with a hole in the middle, and it was randomly blocked with cardboard. The stench that spilled out of the hole made me gag.
Hongfu knocked on the door very calmly, and after a long time, an old voice came from inside
"Who!"
"Hello, we're new neighbors, let's borrow a kettle." Hongfu replied loudly.
The old man's voice replied: "We don't have a kettle at home, I'm sorry." ”
Hongfu was unwilling, we came all the way here, but we didn't even enter the door of the house.
"It's okay, we're just here to get to know the new neighbors, please open the door."
There was no more sound inside, and after a while, the wooden door began to rattle, and it was obvious that someone had come and opened it.
The door creaked open from the inside, and a big man with unkempt hair and stubble appeared in front of us, startling Hongfu and me, and instinctively took a few steps back. It's hard to imagine that the old man's voice came from this big man.
The big man was wearing only a gray vest, a pair of leopard print pants underneath, and slippers on his feet, and opened the door for us with a scolding scold. Seeing Dahan's angry appearance, Hongfu hurriedly hid behind me, and I stepped forward and blocked between Dahan and her.
Dahan asked in an extremely impatient tone, "Who are you?" ”
"Hello, we're new neighbors." I smiled and held out my hand to him.
The big man glanced down, snorted disdainfully, and said, "If it's okay, get out of here." After saying that, he closed the door again.
Hongfu was a little angry: "What kind of person! No politeness at all. ”
It didn't work to get enough of the big man, so we had to ask the neighbors around Qiu Tian's house. Fortunately, the neighbors were more enthusiastic, not only welcomed us into the house, but also told us about Qiu Tian's situation.
