Chapter Twenty-Four: The Woman Burns
Uncle Ho's eyes finally looked at me.
I was about to ask something, but he said to his wife who was standing next to me: "I have something to say, I want to talk to Tang Xiaofan, you go out first, don't come in if it's okay." ”
Uncle He's wife is not too relieved.
She wanted to ask something more, but saw Uncle He's face change slightly.
Afraid of upsetting her husband, she hurriedly said yes, and then went out backwards, and when she left, she said to me: "Our old man He is not very good-tempered, in case he says something bad, you can take care of some." ”
After closing the door, He Bo wanted to get up, but his body didn't seem to be too convenient.
I stepped forward, helped him sit up, and put a pillow behind him.
Just moved like this a few times, and Uncle He struggled.
He took a few breaths and asked me to sit down next to him.
I asked Uncle He, "What's wrong with you, you ate noodles at my place that night, it's not good, how can you go back and ......" He didn't answer me immediately, just stared at me all the time.
The overly thin face made him look at me with an indescribable coldness in his eyes.
It made me feel very uncomfortable.
After a while, He Bo spoke.
That day, he went out for a walk, and walked to Huaihua Street, looking at the bear shop he ran before, Uncle He stood at the door for a while, he wanted to leave, but he didn't know how to sneak in.
He Bo is in health, and he eats as little as possible at night.
But that day, he actually asked Liang Yuan for a bowl of chicken noodles.
Looking at Liang Yuan, who was busy standing in front of the stove, Uncle He paused and asked, "You, the new owner of this store?" ”
Seeing that Liang Yuan didn't understand what he meant, Uncle He said again: "Tang Sihai, gave you this store?" ”
Liang Yuan knew that he had misunderstood.
Hurriedly shook his head: "This store is still Tang Sihai's, but it is currently run by his daughter, and Tang Sihai is lying in the hospital, so he can't open the store for the time being." ”
Hearing this, Uncle He was shocked.
He hurriedly asked Liang Yuan what was going on with Tang Sihai.
It was too busy at the time, and Liang Yuan couldn't say it clearly.
Later, Uncle He saw me, and he recognized me as Tang Sihai's daughter, and after learning that I had taken down the Hailan Club next to me, he suddenly panicked.
When the noodles came up, Uncle He looked at the extra chicken whistle inside, but his mood was complicated.
After watching me leave, He Bo took a bite of noodles.
The noodles made by Liang Yuan still taste very good, but Uncle He eats them like chewing wax.
At this moment, he seemed to hear a voice, a woman's voice.
She called him behind her: "Lao He, you are here...... Lao He, you're here......"
This voice is very familiar, He Bo was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw a woman standing a meter away behind him, and the woman he knew was Su Xiaoyu from the Hailan Club next door.
At this moment, Su Xiaoyu is still wearing the orange skirt on the day of self-immolation.
Her complexion was ruddy, and her face was full of youthful vitality.
Seeing that Lao He turned around, she smiled, and then walked over and sat in front of Lao He: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, look at you, why are you all old like this?" ”
When Su Xiaoyu was alive, he loved to talk and laugh.
She belongs to a cheerful person, the restaurant next door opened, she has made a lot of friends in all walks of life, she is very sincere to people, and the business can get bigger and bigger.
The chopsticks in Uncle He's hand fell to the ground, and when Su Xiaoyu saw it, he immediately bowed down and picked them up for him.
After setting it aside, she pulled another pair out of the chopsticks basket.
"Lao He, when you are old, are your hands and feet not flexible, why can't you even hold chopsticks steadily?"
Su Xiaoyu said with a half-smile and half-seriousness.
The expression on Uncle He's face was very stiff, he glanced at the people around him, and no one seemed to notice him here, Liang Yuan on the stove, was still cooking noodles seriously, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dense.
After a long pause, He Bocai said tremblingly: "Su Xiaoyu, you ......"
Su Xiaoyu supported her face with one hand, and she continued to say with a smile: "I, what's wrong? ”
Uncle He's forehead also began to sweat, and he took out a tissue to wipe it: "It's been so many years, and everything that should be done is gone, isn't it like a person dies like a lamp going out, why did you come back?" ”
"I never left!"
After saying this, Su Xiaoyu became serious.
She looked at Uncle He fixedly, and put away all the smiles she had on before.
He Bo looked at Su Xiaoyu in front of him, and a fire gradually ignited on his face. In the blazing fire, He Bo felt that the heat on his body was unbearable, he picked up the tea cup on the side and poured himself a big sip.
Very open, Su Xiaoyu's body was covered with flames.
She was not in the slightest pain, and still maintained the sitting position she had just sitting.
And the stools and tables that came into contact with Su Xiaoyu did not catch fire because of this, and the landscape of this scene is very wonderful.
The flames gradually disappeared, and Su Xiaoyu returned to his original appearance.
Looking at Uncle He, who was frightened, she smiled apologetically: "I scared you?" ”
But He asked him, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Su Xiaoyu suddenly stopped talking, she leaned back on the chair, her hands, and her two eyes stared at Uncle He so straight, with a very strange expression.
He Bo finally couldn't stand it anymore, he got up and walked to Liang Yuan to settle the bill.
Liang Yuan glanced at the chicken offal noodles on the table that he hadn't eaten, and was a little strange: "Uncle, doesn't it taste to your taste, why haven't you eaten a bite?" ”
He Bo didn't say anything, put down the money and was about to leave.
Liang Yuan shook his head: "No need, Tang Xiaofan said when he left just now, you don't charge money for your face." ”
As if he hadn't heard anything, He Bo put down the ten dollars and left.
Liang Yuan looked at the banknote on the stove and thought to himself, this is really a strange old man.
So he simply put away the money and was about to clean up the dishes on the table, but he heard Uncle He say behind him: "That, when will Tang Xiaofan come back?" ”
"She?" Liang Yuan pointed to the side of the Hailan Club: "It's a bit of a matter for her to go there, I guess it will take an hour." ”
Hearing this, He Bo paused.
He glanced back at the place where he was sitting just now, and Su Xiaoyu was gone.
He Bo thought for a while and left his phone number to Liang Yuan: "Wait for Tang Xiaofan to come back, you tell her to call me for this number, and say that I have something important to tell her." ”
After saying that, Uncle Ho left.
Along the way, Uncle He's steps were very fast, and he always felt that there was a figure behind him, following him.
After turning around several times, Uncle He saw Su Xiaoyu, and in a blink of an eye, the woman disappeared again. When he finally returned home, He Bo didn't even turn on the light, and sat in the living room for a while, finding that he was not sweating all over his body.
After recovering his breath, he planned to take a shower.
The toilet and toilet are shared on the first floor, and after knocking on the door to make sure that there is no one inside, Uncle He just pushed the door open, and he was startled!
