Chapter 1: Law Kee Noodle House
The city on a rainy night is always deserted and lonely.
Sandwiched between the eye-catching signature shops, the Lo Kee Noodle Shop looks unremarkable and understated, and through the window, you can see that the store is very empty at this moment, except for a slender girl cleaning up the table.
The girl was not tall, and her long black hair was tied in a ponytail, revealing a slender and graceful neckline. He was wearing a simple gray T-shirt and blue jeans, and a pair of cleanly brushed white canvas shoes.
Luo stubbornly cleaned up a few tables in the store, saw the back kitchen Chef Xu standing at the back door smoking to relieve fatigue, and Aunt Liu, who was doing chores, also washed the dishes and was putting them away, so she poured two glasses of water and sent them to the back kitchen.
"Stubborn, it's raining today, there shouldn't be any guests, why don't you go back early?"
Master Xu looked at the rain outside that had not stopped, and urged Luo Naughty to go home early.
Luo stubbornly nodded in response, but when he returned to the front, he still looked out the window, wondering if that person should come today, right?
Although Luo is only in his twenties, he is the small owner of this Luo Ji noodle restaurant, which was opened by her father Lao Luo, but after Lao Luo passed away unexpectedly, she took over the shop and continued to run the noodle restaurant that poured her father's hard work.
Don't look at the Luo Ji Noodle Restaurant, the store is very small, only fit six small tables for four people, but it is located in the CBD of the city, surrounded by many high-end office buildings, it seems that Luo Ji Noodle Restaurant is a little special.
The reason why Luo Nan didn't close the noodle shop after his father's death was also because her father used this noodle restaurant to support her, and it has been in business for several years, and there are many, many old customers who can't give up this bite.
Although white-collar workers dress brightly to enter and exit high-end office buildings, budget-conscious people do not choose to eat at the surrounding high-end restaurants, but choose the inexpensive Law Kee Noodle Restaurant.
There are also taxi masters, who will also come to Luo Kee Noodle Restaurant to eat bowls of noodles when they are hungry to appease their hungry themselves.
In short, although the Lo Kee Noodle Restaurant is small, it is the hottest business in the neighborhood, and there are often people queuing up at the door of the store every time they have a meal.
Luo is often grateful that there is still this shop after her father passes away, and being busy in the store makes her feel like her father has not left her, and she feels very fulfilled when she has something to do, and her sad mood has eased a lot.
The person who Luo stubbornly waited for was, strictly speaking, a beggar. He is not very old, fifteen or sixteen years old, probably because he couldn't eat enough before, so he is as thin as a bamboo pole.
But the boy was not as dirty as the other beggars on the street, and his face and hands were cleanly washed, which made Luo Yanyan a little curious when he first saw him wandering around the door of the noodle shop.
At that time, Luo Stubborn had just dealt with his father's funeral, came to the noodle restaurant to see the situation, and saw that the young man had been wandering around for a long time, and his heart softened, so he made a bowl of noodles and beckoned him to come in to eat.
The young man was not polite, and he looked like he had been hungry for a long time when he ate noodles.
After he finished eating noodles and wiped his mouth, he asked Luo Stubborn: "You are Uncle Luo's daughter, right?" Why hasn't Uncle Luo come for many days? ”
Hearing him mention his father, Luo stubbornly felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly took a deep breath to suppress the sourness that came up.
"My dad is ...... Passed away. ”
Luo's stubborn voice lowered, and when he saw that the young man heard her words, he opened his mouth in surprise, probably surprised and didn't know what to say.
But Luo stubbornly adjusted his mood and asked how the boy was so familiar with her father?
The young man explained the friendship between him and Lao Luo in a few words, Luo was not surprised at all to be stubborn, Lao Luo was kind-hearted and sympathetic to the weak. Seeing that the boy often wandered around the area, and refused to beg like other beggars, he gave the boy a bowl of noodles to eat every day.
"Uncle Luo is a good person."
The young man's expression was faintly sad, but he didn't comfort Luo Stubborn like others, which made Luo Stubborn feel a little more comfortable.
"From now on, you will still come to eat noodles every day, my dad is gone, but I will continue to open the noodle restaurant."
Luo stubbornly didn't inquire too much about the young man, since Lao Luo selflessly helped him, then she should take over her father's class and continue to take care of this "extraordinary" beggar boy.
The young man looked at Luo Stubborn with some surprise, and then a pair of bright eyes smiled crookedly, looking very happy. I thought Uncle Luo had passed away, and his daily free noodles were about to fly.
Therefore, Luo Naughty waited for the boy to come to the noodle restaurant every day to eat white food, and the young man told Luo Nayan that his name was Song Shuhan, and Luo Naughty called him Xiaohan.
Xiaohan came every day, but it was past eight o'clock in the evening today, and he hadn't shown up yet, so Luo Yan couldn't help but be a little worried.
The clock on the wall went to nine o'clock, and the rain became heavier, and Master Xu urged Luo to go home stubbornly, fearing that it would not be safe to be late.
Although he was a little worried about Xiaohan, Luo stubborn also knew that waiting was not a solution, so he asked Master Xu and Aunt Liu to close the shop early, so they put on their raincoats and walked out of the noodle shop to go home.
Luo Yan's house is not far from the noodle restaurant, a ten-minute walk, it is an old residential area, and there is no danger if there are street lights along the road.
The community where the Luo family lives is the last discordant existence in this prosperous scene, and I heard that it will be demolished in a few months, and the landlord has informed Luo that he can only rent it until before the demolition.
Thinking about his foothold after the demolition, Luo stubbornly stepped on the wet road and walked briskly home.
There were no pedestrians on the road at this time, but cars came and went, and when Luo stubbornly passed by the mouth of a small alley, he heard a cry for help in the sound of the rushing rain.
Luo stubbornly stopped, put her hand into her trouser pocket to touch her phone, she didn't rush into the dim alley, just tried to squint her eyes to see the lump of objects lying on the ground not far from the alley.
It happened that a car passed by, and the headlights flickered, so that Luo Stubborn could see the raised face of Xiao Han lying on the ground all of a sudden.
Luo stubbornly hurriedly went over to check, Xiao Han's head lying in the rain was bleeding, and it was washed away by the rain, and new blood seeped out.
"Xiaohan, what's wrong with you? Can you hear me? ”
Luo stubbornly wanted to help Xiao Han up, but although Xiao Han was thin, he was a tall teenager after all, Luo was stubborn with a slender physique of less than one meter six, and it was really difficult to help Xiao Han up.
I had no choice but to pat Xiao Han's face hard, trying to regain his senses.
Probably because Luo stubbornly slapped very hard, Xiao Han took a sharp breath and regained some consciousness.
"Stubborn sister...... You go quickly, call the police......"
Seeing Luo stubborn, Xiao Han said something a little eagerly, so he pushed away Luo's stubborn hand and asked her to leave quickly.
Luo stubbornly just wanted to ask Xiao Han what was going on, but saw Xiao Han looking at the mouth of the alley with a frightened expression.
"Not good! They're coming. ”
Xiao Han struggled to get up, trying to keep Luo stubborn behind him.
Although Luo stubborn can't figure out what happened, Xiao Han was not lightly injured, and someone is coming, so he is definitely not a good person.
The situation was urgent, Luo stubbornly burst out of his potential, dragged Xiao Han into the alley, and saw that there was a big iron garbage can, no matter what thirty-seven twenty-one, he helped Xiao Han to stuff him in.
Lian stuffed his mobile phone into Xiaohan's hand, told him to call the police quickly, closed the lid of the trash can, and mustered up the courage to walk towards the mouth of the alley.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the alley, I met three or four men in black raincoats, who were not good at first glance.
At this time, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and also illuminated Luo's stubborn and pale face......
