Chapter 221: The Female Corpse of the Drum Tower
Looking at the old man's intoxicated expression as he pinched the mud pills, the corners of Zhao Ke's mouth twitched slightly: "Teacher, you haven't given up that dish yet?" ”
"Baiwei Feast!"
The old man looked back at Zhao Ke, slowly put down the mud pill in his hand, shook his head, and finally showed the vicissitudes of his age on his full and rich face.
"I don't do it, I have run most of the world in my life, from Los Angeles to Xinjiang, Xinjiang to Lhasa, and then to Chengdu, stayed for five or six years, and then ran all over Japan, the United States, Singapore and Russia, tired, I can't run."
Seeing the old man's lost expression, Zhao Ke was moved, and in his impression, this old guy was like being beaten with iron, and his eyes were always so bright and full of fighting spirit.
Even when he was seventeen years old, he took himself to Russia, a ghost place where the weather was cold, and he used his own 80° liquor to dry up those old hairy people in the bar.
Zhao Ke will always remember that the old man was drinking wine with one hand and wrestling his wrist with the other on the wine table.
The old Maozi who lost by breaking his wrist was angry and wanted to be rough, but he was beaten by the old man on the head and thrown out of the bar one by one.
At that time, the old man looked back and smiled in the face of the wind and snow, and the chic spirit of looking at the world was deeply imprinted on Zhao Ke's heart.
But today, Zhao Ke saw it for the first time, the old man's eyes showed a declining look, and this gap made Zhao Ke's heart feel greatly touched.
Zhao Ke even had an urge to stand up and tell the old man about his current changes.
But this impulse was quickly dispelled by Zhao Ke.
"Let's go, change into clothes, and let's go home."
The old man looked at the work point, it was almost time to get off work, packed up his things, carefully guarded the mud balls in the wooden basin, and waited for Zhao Ke to change his clothes, and the two walked out one after the other.
Now that the weather has turned cold, even though this year's Luodu is much warmer than in previous years, the cold wind blows, and it still can't help but make people tighten their clothes.
When it came to the old man, he was draped in a thin coat and wore a short-sleeved shirt underneath.
If you don't want to be too exaggerated, you probably wouldn't even bother to wear trousers.
"Bang ......"
Walking on the road, there was a piercing rumble from time to time, it was the excavator doing the demolition work, and on the street on one side, there were few households left, and the construction party began to demolish in an orderly manner.
At this time, the old man paused, looked at the old house that was demolished not far away, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully: "How many years are the houses, this is demolished, it is demolished, it is demolished, and I don't know when it will be a head, the ancient capital, it is no longer ancient." ”
"Hey, Ermazi."
At this time, I heard someone calling, and I saw two women who were at least forty years old walking over, although they were old, but they were dressed very fashionably, and walked to the old man's side, and first glanced at Zhao Ke.
"Hey, the second son is also back, why didn't you see the eldest son."
In the eyes of the surrounding neighbors, Zhao Ke is the old man's second son, and the old man has never explained this.
Zhao Ke thought for a while, glanced at the woman, didn't have any impression, nodded and stood behind without speaking.
"Hahaha, your family is also coming soon, I'll be the east tomorrow night, you must come."
The old man's full and stylish face showed a kind smile, and he didn't care about the title of Er Mazi that they called him.
"Hey, take so much mud again, what kind of flowers do you want to raise, if you have time, let our sisters go and take a look."
Seeing the wooden basin in the old man's hand, the two women quipped.
"Good, good!"
The old man nodded, chatted with the two girls for a while, and then walked forward with Zhao Ke.
When he was far away, the old man looked back at Zhao Ke: "Don't you ask me?" Why trick you back? ”
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Zhao Ke was angry in his heart, but seeing the appearance of the old man, Zhao Ke swallowed this breath again.
He said angrily: "It's going to be demolished, your temperament must be planning to cook a big dish, but there are not enough people, let me come back to help." ”
The old man had a habit of going to a place, staying for five or six years, and when he left, he would make a very rich feast.
According to the old man's meaning, the memory of the taste will never be forgotten, just like you will never forget the joy when you eat a white rabbit toffee for the first time.
But this reason is obviously not what Zhao Ke is convinced, in Zhao Ke's eyes, this old guy is obviously using this table banquet to satisfy his bad taste.
"You kid, you are a thief, among the three brothers, you are the most greedy, the most thief, and the smartest."
The old man pursed his lips, knowing that Zhao Ke could guess it as soon as he guessed.
It's a pity that the boss has the best talent, but he is too honest and kind, and in terms of cooking, he is far less flexible than Zhao Ke and learns more from himself.
And the third ......
Thinking of his uncompetitive little apprentice, the old man couldn't help but sigh, his wisdom in this life was all smashed on this kid.
But the old one hurts the younger one after all, so he simply keeps the youngest one by his side, which can be regarded as his own pension.
When the two returned home, as soon as they entered the door, they saw a table of good wine and food.
Xiao Su pork, boiled pot vegetables, a pot of lotus soup slices, a fish-flavored shredded pork, and a stack of bean curd pork.
Four dishes and one soup are made in accordance with Zhao Ke's standards.
It seems that in order to deal with his second senior brother, Luo Qing also worked hard, Zhao Ke walked on the front foot, and the back foot began to get busy.
Finally completed all Zhao Ke's tasks before dark.
"Second Senior Brother, you can taste the wine I brewed."
Luo Qing poured a glass of wine for Zhao Ke, the amber wine exuded a special fragrance, Zhao Ke tasted it, it was not bad, but it was too soft, Zhao Ke didn't like to drink it very much.
As if to see Zhao Ke's thoughts, the old man on the side handed a silver wine jug to Zhao Ke.
"Take a bite!"
Zhao Ke took it and drank it, and immediately felt that a ball of fire was poured down his throat, burning inside and out, and the pores of his whole body were opened.
Even beads of sweat fell from his forehead.
"Cool!"
Taking a breath, Zhao Ke put the flask down, and a layer of peach appeared on his skin.
Where is this wine, it is simply alcohol, if it weren't for Zhao Ke's current physical fitness, this sip would inevitably be drunk.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a long time, your alcohol consumption has increased a lot, come on, let's drink a little more." Seeing that Zhao Ke drank it, the person was still in good spirits, and the old man was also interested.
When Zhao Ke heard this, he almost fell off the seat, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Drinking with the old man? I am a birthday boy who eats arsenic and looks for death.
At that time, a few Russian Maozi fought with him, but they ended up in the hospital for two or three, and the old man felt that it was not enjoyable, so he sat on the table and continued to drink.
If I really fight with him, I guess I won't want to get out of bed tomorrow.
Seeing this, Luo Qing squinted his eyes and began to feel comchadenfreude, and he didn't speak, lowering his head and picking up rice in his mouth.
Seeing that the old man was in high spirits, Zhao Ke couldn't refuse.
Suddenly, I heard a rumbling sound outside, and the table began to shake.
"Something's wrong, it's not good, there's an accident, come quickly, just someone!"
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that something was really going on, Zhao Ke and Luo Qing glanced at each other.
saw Zhao Ke jump up from the chair suddenly, Luo Qing wanted to run, but before he got up, he was stepped on his toes by Zhao Ke, gritting his teeth in pain.
Without waiting for him to stand up, Zhao Ke rushed out of the door in two steps, faster than a rabbit, which made Luo Qing stunned for a while.
"Luo Qing, you drink for me first."
Zhao Ke ran out of the door and didn't forget to shout.
Luo Qing was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "I'm, pit me!" ”
Thinking of this, Luo Qing wanted to run, but was dragged back by the old man, like lifting a chicken, he brought Luo Qing to his side, and handed over the wine jug: "Drink!" ”
…………
On the other side, Zhao Ke went out and saw several people walking out of the surrounding houses one after another.
Zhao Ke followed and walked over, and he heard someone discuss.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, it seems that the house collapsed and killed someone?"
While talking, Zhao Ke and his party walked to the scene, because of the demolition here, the street lights were out of power, and there were not a few families left, all of whom were taking their mobile phones to take care of them.
I saw the construction site, the excavator fell directly into the pit, and the house on the side fell and smashed on the excavator.
More than a dozen people from the demolition team at the scene were killed and wounded.
Seeing this, an elderly man pouted: "Huh...... It's this building again, I used to say that this family was making trouble, but now it's demolished, and it's going to make a fuss, fortunately my house is far away, otherwise it's ......"
Before the old man finished speaking, he was pulled by his wife next to him and scolded: "Bah, bah, Luodu is evil, don't talk nonsense." ”
It was just a simple work accident in front of him, and soon someone began to cordon off the scene, ready to save people.
Zhao Ke looked at it twice and lost his interest, but he was not in a hurry to go back, with the old man's wine, forget it if he didn't get up, get up, and now it is estimated that he is still drinking, and if he goes back, he will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth, so it is better to wander around here for a while.
Zhao Ke is quite familiar with this neighborhood, Zhao Ke walked along the path, although there was no light, but he could see clearly through the golden pupils.
Wait to see the drum tower not far away.
It is the older building of Luodu, and it is also the gate of Luodu in the past, the big bluestone three feet back, how many times it has been burned and cannonballs, and it has been preserved until now.
Zhao Ke couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, in this place, he had three brothers and sisters, and he didn't climb up secretly.
The bluestone bricks under the feet, on both sides are decades old tiled houses, which are rarely seen in the city, such a building complex.
It's a pity that it's too depressed here, and there are no shops, but most of them sell wreaths and longevity materials.
Just walking, Zhao Ke looked at the old houses around him, and couldn't help scratching his head, feeling as if he was lost, he didn't remember that there was such a road here.
Seeing this, Zhao Ke could only turn around and plan to return the same way, but as soon as Zhao Ke turned around, he saw a female corpse in white clothes hanging on the gate of the Drum Tower, and the female corpse's eyes were waiting for Zhao Ke.
I don't know if it's an illusion, so I saw that the corners of the female corpse's mouth suddenly smiled at Zhao Ke.
