Walk through the alley next to the hospital.

I smelled a spicy fragrance again, and following the smell all the way, I saw a lot of people standing in line at the door of Grandma Hu's shop before.

This small shop can really do anything.

Grandma Hu's phoenix claws and Zhang Ying's lo-mei have all been sought after by tens of thousands of people.

The owner is a middle-aged couple.

The woman in the apron is holding a bamboo vegetable basket, and she is loading a large number of vegetables from the stall into the vegetable basket according to the needs of the guests.

On one side is a large cauldron.

The red soup in the pot was boiling.

The boss took the vegetable basket from the woman's hand and poured it directly into another, larger iron frame.

On the large desk on the other side, there are all kinds of large bowls.

The hopper inside has been prepared, and the dishes in the big pot are directly poured into the bowl, including the soup and water, and then scooped a spoonful of the tahini paste that has been prepared by yourself.

Finally, it was garnished with a little garlic and green onions, and the boss heard that I ate spicy food, so he specially added some millet spicy to me.

When I entered the store, I found a seat and sat down.

The shop has been briefly renovated, but the place is still that big.

Fortunately, most of the guests bought it and took it away, so it was not so crowded.

I sat in the innermost corner, took out my chopsticks and stirred it gently, and the aroma of Malatang immediately came out.

Add sesame sauce to the spicy tang, which is a northern practice.

It is quite unusual to appear coldly in Qingshen County, a small western city.

I took a sip of the soup first, and I thought it was very fragrant, so I picked up a piece of bean skin and was about to stuff it into my mouth, when I heard someone in front of me call me:

"Tang Xiaofan...... Is that you? ”

The voice was squeamish, as if cautious.

When I looked up, I saw Hu Dan.

His appearance is much different from before, which is really beyond my expectations.

The impression that Dr. Hudan gave me was that he was well-dressed, gentle and clean.

And now Hu Dan, I feel that if I hadn't known him before, I would have thought that he was a migrant worker who had just come down from the construction site.

The spicy tang in Hu Dan's bowl has been eaten.

Not even a drop of soup remained.

He looked at the people around him, his face full of timidity. Then he came up to me and asked the person next to me if he could change his seat.

Sitting next to me was a little girl.

When the girl saw that he was dirty, her eyes glanced at him, and she seemed to look down on him a little.

Seeing him approaching, the girl quickly got up.

After saying "bad luck", he found a seat next to him and sat down again.

Hu Shan said thank you to the girl.

He looked at me again: "Tang Xiaofan, it's good that you are here, I have had some problems recently, I have always wanted to find someone to talk to, but I found that the people around me have problems, and I dare not ......"

I looked at him, his hair was covered in oil.

His face was dirty, and there was a slight smell of rancidity on his body.

His expression also looked nervous.

It seems that I was surprised a lot, and it looks different from normal people.

While talking to me, he kept looking left and right, and seemed to be wary of the people around him. I looked to the side, and there were about a dozen diners sitting in the small shop.

Although no one was looking at us, I faintly felt a very strange atmosphere.

The spicy tang in the bowl is still exuding fragrance.

I took a bite and it felt bland and tasteless.

It's not the same bowl of soup as the soup I just drank.

Putting down the chopsticks, I asked Hu Dan: "Aren't you transferred to Dongshan?" How did it become the way it is? ”

Hu Dan's expression darkened.

He buttoned his hair.

Suddenly, a foul-smelling smell of head oil rushed towards my snort.

Quickly covered his nose.

Hu Dan saw my movements, and his body stepped back a little. I thought about whether he was a doctor or a doctor, and it seemed a little inappropriate for me to do this.

So I adjusted my attitude and looked at Hu Dan solemnly:

"Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to go to you and ask about my dad, but I couldn't find your contact information, and I myself suffered a mess here.

Hu Shan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Suspicion ......"

As soon as I said two words, the boss of Malatang suddenly came to my side, and he glanced at Hu Dan: "Have you eaten well?" There are few seats in our store, but there are many customers, and generally the customers who eat do not leave a seat......"

I noticed that Hu Dan's body shrank when he heard this.

I quickly got up, took out a tissue and wiped my mouth:

"I won't eat it, leave the seat to the next one, everyone is in business, it's not easy."

The boss looked at the bowl of Malatang that I hadn't moved much: "You haven't eaten it yet, why are you leaving, my Malatang doesn't meet your appetite?" ”

I shook my head, "No, I have something to do......"

After speaking, I scanned the code and paid the money and patted Hu Dan on the shoulder.

When I left the Malatang restaurant, I didn't know if it was an illusion, I always felt that the people around me, whether they were waiting in line or eating in the house, whether they were looking at me and Hu Dan or not, but their attention, I could feel, was all here.

The proprietress who grabbed the vegetables also looked at us.

She leaned into Lao An's ear and whispered something.

The boss replied to her and then looked at us again, and then the couple got busy as if nothing had happened.

Coming out of the Malatang shop, I saw Hu Dan's steps walking very fast.

I followed him, almost trotting.

He gave me the feeling that he was finally relieved, one step at a time, and when he finally left the alley, Hu Dan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Then he looked at me gratefully and said thank you.

I do not quite understand.

Ask him what really happened.

He looked at me and said, "Tang Xiaofan, I'm hungry, take me to your shop to eat a bowl of noodles, I will eat while slowly telling you what happened." ”

I was stunned: "Didn't you just eat Malatang?" ”

He smiled: "Who said that I've been eating it for a long time?" ”

"For a long time, how is that possible?"

I couldn't understand what Hu Shan was talking about.

Just as he was about to ask something, he waved his hand: "Tang Xiaofan, it's actually not safe on the street at all, going to your store, that place, is the safest!" ”

I snorted.

Watching him stride forward, I looked around.

There were not many people on the street, and everyone walked their own way, in a hurry.

After a pause, I also strode with Hu Dan......
