ACT 14: The vanishing Jiao Ziqian
ACT14: The disappeared Jiao Ziqian Song Jiu silently withdrew from the crowd and returned to the big canteen without saying a word.
There are only a few scattered tables of diners in the cafeteria, looking at the costume, it should be other life duties, seven or eight men and women, talking and laughing there; Chef Niangjia sat in the operation room, looking intently at a book without a cover, and when Song Jiu pushed the door in, she only raised her eyelids.
Song Jiu stood in the center of the hall and was stunned for a long time, then he remembered that Ah Hai and the two had been pushed back by him before, and were about to turn around and leave, but they were stopped by the group of men and women sitting on the side.
"Hey, you're new here, aren't you?" A girl with a pimple-covered face beckoned and called, "Come and sit down for a while." ”
"No, you eat." Song Jiu grinned and refused the other party's invitation. Just now they were poked and poked by Scarface and Bald, who knows if these little deflated children will also be idle and make fun of him.
"Let you sit for a while, I didn't let you eat." The acne girl obviously didn't understand what it meant to excuse herself, so she tugged at the big ring of her earlobe, a little displeased: "It's so faceless." Song Jiu could only continue to take a deep breath, trying to suppress the crazy surging fire, and couldn't help lamenting in his heart: It's been three years, why haven't you eliminated this kind of idiot?
"Sister Jia, why is your family running like this." Seeing that Song Jiu ignored her, the acne girl looked at the cook Niangjia with a sad face, and complained: "Make a friend, I won't eat him." Several men and women at the same table secretly snickered, and did not help, not knowing whose joke they were going to see.
"I'm sorry, I'm really in trouble, next time." Song Jiu was a little impatient, thinking about quickly staying away from the land of right and wrong, and at the same time, Xiao Zhu was quite in awe of Chef Niangjia's attitude, why are these little deflated San'er so fat?
Is it related to each other? As if to answer the question in Song Jiu's heart, the cook Niangjia, who had been reading silently, raised her face, straightened her hair that was pressed out of shape by the chef's hat, pointed to the man and woman at the table and said coldly: "Get out after eating, don't bother me." The table of men and women was instantly dumbfounded, and they also closed their mouths with a snicker, and the acne girl's face turned red, she glared at Song Jiu, turned around and stopped talking.
Song Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Guang glanced at the cook Niangjia looking at him, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not eating, I'll leave now." ”
"Who let you go? Stay and I'll have something to tell you. Chef Niangjia closed the page, turned around and walked into the operation room, and after a while, she walked out with an enamel jar, and sat down directly opposite Song Jiu without looking at the men and women at the table.
"What's wrong?" Song Jiu was very upset at this time, worried about what kind of moth this iceberg cook was.
"That's what I should ask you." Chef Niangjia's tone was not salty or light, and she pushed the enamel jar in front of him and said, "Didn't you go to find your friend?" Why is your face so ugly? Song Jiu's eyes were a little surprised, there was nothing else in the enamel jar, it was something that Scarface and Bald people instigated him to steal.
"What kind of wine is this?" Song wine picked up the jar and smelled it, unlike white wine, it was golden and had a sweet smell.
"Plum wine, I made it myself, try it." Cook Jia pursed her lips and smiled, not breaking his clumsy diversion of the topic.
Song Jiu was not polite, he picked up the enamel jar and dipped his lips, the tip of his tongue was slightly sour, and then there was a sweetness, almost no taste of alcohol.
"Sweet and sour." Song Jiu smacked his lips and tasted it, and praised: "It's delicious." ”
"I use rice wine to brew, the alcohol content is not high, it can satisfy cravings, and I won't make mistakes." Chef Niangjia was quite satisfied with his comment, picked up the lid and buckled it up: "It's not for you to drink, you can give this to them." ”
"Huh?!" Song Jiu was startled when he heard this, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
"What, don't you give it for nothing?" The cook looked at him with a smile and teased: "Do you have to be a thief? ”
"No, no, it's not." Song Jiu's mind was racing through the picture, trying to recall what went wrong, how could Chef Niangjia know it?
"Don't guess, there are a lot of people looking for them to do things, and you're not the only one." Cook Niangjia rewarded Song Jiu with a smile for the first time and said, "Didn't I say it?" Have a question come to me, do you want me to talk about it casually? ”
"I..." Song Jiu was speechless, unable to find the words to answer, and his evaluation of this woman changed several times, and there was a faint palpitation.
"Okay, I don't know what to say, just forget it, don't hold it back." Cook Niangjia stood up, the whole person returned to coldness, and said, "Don't you think it's too much for me to let the child feed the pigs?" In the future, those pigs will be in your charge, and you will chop off one or two pieces of meat and chop off one of your fingers. Leaving an irresistible order and the stunned Song Jiu ignored it, the cook walked back to the operation room, as if nothing had happened, and opened the book without a cover and read it.
Song Jiu sat at the table for a long time, looking at Chef Niangjia's gaze became more and more complicated, and he wanted to ask a question several times, but he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.
Song Jiu currently has too many doubts, and even can't speak, so after thinking about it left and right, he decided to go back to the shack first to calm down and sort out the many strange things that have happened in the past two days.
…… Ah Hai and his friends were idle and panicked, taking advantage of their leisure time at noon to tinker with weapons in the shack, and when Song Jiu went back, the two were sweating profusely.
"Why?" Song Jiu glanced at it, and the ground that had been simply cleaned up last night had turned into a mess again, full of wood stubble and some rusty iron wire.
"This." Ah Hai hehe, hehe, he was happy, and he seemed to have to throw him something to offer treasure. Song Jiu caught the thing and looked at it, a smile appeared on the gloomy face, these two brothers are quite hands-on, and they used wood and iron to DIY a short dagger from local materials, although the appearance is relatively cold, but the blade is very sharp, and it is definitely easy to wipe the neck.
"Where's the Iron Sheet?" Song Jiu touched the rusty iron sheet wrapped in the outer layer of the wooden board, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Mix that pot with the pig in the morning." Ah Hai was very proud, lifted his shirt and said, "It's enough!" Song Jiu didn't say a word, gave him a violent shudder, and scolded: "Isn't it stupid? What did Lao Tzu feed the pigs after the basin was opened? ”
"......" Ah Hai rubbed his head and said, "Brother Jiu, do you really plan to feed the pigs here in the future?" ”
"I'm convinced." Song Jiu sighed wordlessly, put the enamel jar on the windowsill, and beckoned the two of them: "First, I didn't let you two toss around, you two will be honest with me; Second, even if you want to engage in a guy, you don't have to work hard, you have the kung fu to tear the iron sheet, why can't you just remove the guillotine knife groove? ”
"Huh? Oh, yes! How did I forget this stubble!
Ah Hai patted his head, revealing a look of sudden realization: "I just said that it seems to be almost something!" ”
"Almost brains." Song Jiu glared at the two of them angrily, waved his hand to signal quietness, and continued: "This matter has been revealed first, I have something serious to say." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Zhu is dead."
"Huh?!
“
"I saw it with my own eyes, just half an hour ago." Song Jiu frowned and thought about it, and threw out another blockbuster news: "It should be Luo Yu and the others who did it." ”
"What ?!!" The exclamation of the duo was another octave higher.
"Don't shout." Song Jiu looked out the window to make sure that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said a rough overview of what happened before.
"Could it be someone else?" Ah Hai was a little puzzled, and wondered: "Sister Luo, didn't they go to the other side?" ”
"It's hard to say, but that knife, I deliberately took a closer look, it's our blade hacksaw knife." Song Jiu gestured at the special murder weapon of their team, and said firmly: "You have all seen Ziqian's lathe craftsmanship, I will not admit my mistake." Ah Hai and the two looked at each other, and their heads were a little dizzy.
"Don't worry about Luo Yu and them, Xiao Zhu is dead, it won't affect us." Song Jiu sighed, relieved the two followers, and then said, "The problem now is that Ziqian is gone. ”
“……”
"Xiao Zhu left with Ziqian last night, according to Ziqian's character, even if he doesn't make trouble, he won't wait quietly, at least he will find an opportunity to come to the canteen. But I didn't see him at noon, and when I went to look for someone, the guard said that Xiao Zhu led the team to clean up the walking corpses in the nearby mountains. So, I guess ......"
"Brother Qian'er went out with that guy?" Ah Hai's head finally had a light on him.
"Quite possibly." Song Jiu nodded and said, "In this way, Xiao Zhu's death can also make sense, maybe Ziqian made it bad, and he and Luo Yu came to a good match." Ah Hai's brain replenishment ability is not bad, and after a little calculation, he understood what Song Jiu was referring to, although it was just a guess, but it also echoed the logic.
"Brother Qian'er can, he has defeated one of their main forces in just one day!
Ah Hai looked a little excited, Jiao Ziqian and Luo Yu took the lead in scoring, which made him a little itchy.
"Don't be happy yet, this is our blind guess, and the specific situation is still unclear." Song Jiu was not happy, if the truth was really as he speculated, it was estimated that Luo Yu's side would not take advantage of it.
After all, there was no such link in the plan they formulated, and it was impossible for Jiao Ziqian to contact Luo Yu, who was about to rush to the riverbank, when he was temporarily out with the team.
The most likely situation is that the place where Xiao Zhu led the team was on the bank of the river, and only then did he collide with Luo Yu, and it is unknown how the two sides had friction, in short, it should end with Xiao Zhu's complete defeat.
If this is the case, then there is still a question: why did Xiao Zhu and the others just go to the other side of the river?
Song Jiu took a sip of the enamel jar, smacked his lips and said: "I'll go and touch the situation at night, don't stay any longer, probe with the people on the other side of the square, ask them if they have seen the boss here, don't be too obvious, go around and see if there is anything unusual about it." The two young men stared at the jar in his hand, as if they hadn't heard Song Jiu's instructions just now.
"Don't look at it, it's not the two of you." Song Jiu glanced at the two of them, picked up the jar and left the shack. …… When Song Jiu passed by the cafeteria, he ran into a few acne girls, who were sitting on the side of the group of sculptures chatting and farting, and saw Song Jiu coming from a distance, and got up straight to block his way.
It was afternoon, the sun was not as dazzling as noon, and there were more people in the square, but there were basically no groups of seven or eight like them.
Song Jiu didn't expect these people to be so idle, and he actually deliberately blocked him in the square, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while: What is this for?
Beat me? ...
