Chapter 12: Xu Ji Tailoring

I leaned against the window and didn't open my eyes, Lao Meng and I sat side by side, and the boy sat next to Lao Meng.

Across from me was the quiet girl, who had been quietly listening to the other two chatting.

The boy called the girl in front of me Suihe, and the other one Chongchong.

I had no intention of eavesdropping on other people's speeches, but when I heard the three words of Gu Dian Kingdom, I cheered up and no longer pretended to be asleep.

The boy peeled off an orange and handed it to the two girls opposite, while saying, "It stands to reason that we have been out for several months, why hasn't there been any movement on your father's side." ”

The girl swallowed the orange in one bite, and said vaguely, "I don't know, anyway, that box is his treasure, he will definitely be in a hurry." If he doesn't say anything, don't blame me for finding the answer myself, I can open the box when I have all the things, I want to see what the hell is amazing, I can't even touch it. ”

The girl's tone was innocent like a junior high school student, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You're laughing at me?" She frowned, a questioning tone.

I hurriedly cleared my throat, "No, no, it's just that my throat suddenly feels uncomfortable and I have a dry cough." ”

The journey was boring, and the train was swaying and I didn't know when it would arrive, and Lao Meng fell asleep on my shoulder.

I was bored, so I started talking to the three of them.

After chatting, I learned that the boy's name was Liao Kao, and the two girls were Tian Suihe and Teng Chongchong.

The three of them are playmates who grew up together since childhood, and their parents are world friends.

This time I went out to buy something, as a tour, and as a treasure hunt.

As for what it was, and why they were looking for it, they didn't say, and I didn't ask in detail. But from their conversation, it was not difficult to hear that this thing should not be an ordinary object.

After getting off the bus, Lao Meng and I took a taxi straight to No. 37 Jialing Street, the taxi turned left and right, drove into a small alley, and finally stopped at the mouth of the alley.

The driver pointed with his hand, "No. 30 or so are on this street, you two get out of the car and look for it yourself, it's not good to turn around in front." ”

Lao Meng and I got out of the car and looked for them one by one according to the blue number plate nailed to the wall, but the strange thing was that No. 36 and No. 38 were both there, but there was no sign with No. 37 written on it.

Sandwiched between No. 36 and No. 38 is a very old wooden signboard with the words "Xu Ji Tailoring", is this a tailor's shop?

I pushed the door in, and a puff of ash fell from the crack of the door, and the choking man wanted to cough.

Directly facing the door was a counter, the glass of which was very worn, but you could still see a variety of buttons and zippers and other clothing accessories inside.

There was a lazy old cat on the counter, and when he saw us enter the room, he raised his head and glanced hoarsely.

The sound alarmed the old man who was napping behind the counter, and the old man looked at us through the glasses and asked, "Size?" ”

"We're looking for someone." Lao Meng said.

The old man rolled his eyelids, "Looking for me?" ”

I hurriedly handed the logistics slip posted on the courier box to the old man and took a look, "Uncle, is this courier sent from you?" ”

He looked at the list and then at me, "Are you?" ”

"Xiao Ding, this sender is my name, but the courier was not sent by me, I want to know where the courier is?"

The old man turned his head and drank the water from the big tea pot, "I don't know this, maybe someone else wrote it blindly." ”

I definitely have a ghost in the old man's appearance, but I can't help it if he doesn't say anything.

I turned around and took Lao Meng to leave, but after thinking about it, this was the only clue, and if this line was broken, my father's matter would be even more clueless.

I turned around and slapped the copper coin in my pocket on the table, "The thing is mine, I want to see him." ”

When the old man saw the copper coin, his eyes immediately flashed, and when he spoke to me again, his tone was no longer incompatible, but much more nervous.

"The hostess is not here, if you have time, just wait a few days, and you can ask her when she comes back."

I was secretly glad in my heart that it wasn't like nothing, at least the old man had an old lady.

There were no clues left or right, so I simply waited for her for a few more days.

Lao Meng and I had a casual bite outside and then found a nearby hostel to stay, and when we checked in, we only heard a girl arguing with someone at the counter on the other side, saying that the water heater in her room was broken.

Lao Meng poked me and motioned for me to take a look. I turned my head and saw that the girl was Teng Chongchong.

The boss seemed to be a weak scholar, and he was helpless when he heard Teng Chongchong say this, so he could only explain, "I have called the maintenance workers in the morning, and they still have a job in their hands, so they can't come over for the time being." The store is also full, and I can't change the room now. ”

"But I want a solution, I understand all the problems you mentioned, but you have to give me an explanation when you're the boss. I can't say that I won't need to repair this water, right, and I don't mean to quarrel with you, I'm reasoning with you. ”

The boss had no choice but to say, "You can go and talk to your boy friend and go to their room to wash it." If you really can't check out, I'll give you the money for the room. ”

Teng Chongchong, who was still maintaining his sanity and reasoning, instantly soared in anger when he heard this, rolled his arms and sleeves, and said with a forked waist: "Now at this time, all the hotels in the vicinity are full, do you say at this time that you want to check me out, and I will sleep on the road?" We two girls and a boy share a bathroom, do you find it convenient? You said you called the maintenance worker in the morning, which means that you knew that the water heater in this room was broken and you still wanted to open it to me. I don't care, I have two requests now, the first is not to check out, the second is that I want to take a shower, and you can think of other ways. ”

Now there are indeed some businesses who are opportunistic in this kind of thing, thinking that explaining to the customer that this matter may be over, and no one will be more serious about this kind of thing, so they can still open the room to the tenant even if they know that there is a problem.

I saw that the boss was helpless, so I took the initiative to solve the siege, "Otherwise, I'll change with you." ”

Teng Chongchong was in a trance for a moment before he recognized me: "Are you the one on the train?" ”

"Well, it doesn't matter if my old man washes it or not, you and your friends can go to my house."

Teng Chongchong patted me on the shoulder, "I can't see it, you're quite a gentleman." Well, if you two want to take a shower at night, go to Riokhona, so it's more convenient for everyone. I didn't talk to Liao Kao about the water heater before, I was afraid that he would change rooms with the two of us, so it would be inconvenient for him to take a bath. This time, everyone can take a shower. ”

Teng Chongchong smiled brightly after speaking, as if he had solved something big.

I can't see that she looks nervous and thoughtful. Before changing the room, she had a verbal battle with the boss, and she was stunned to tell me a seven-fold discount on the price of my room.

But what I didn't expect was that the room opened by these two girls was a double room......

Lao Meng and I were lying on the same bed, and I always felt that something was strange. I can't let go of my hands or feet, so I can only play with my phone back to back.

Lao Meng looked at the ceiling and asked me faintly.

"Do you think we look like two awkward couples?"

I kicked him, ", if I marry a daughter-in-law like you, I'll buy a station ticket overnight and leave." ”

Speaking of my daughter-in-law, I suddenly remembered something, sat up and asked Lao Meng, "By the way, what's going on with your wedding, what about Xiaoyao?" ”

Hearing me mention Xiao Yao, Lao Meng turned over impatiently, "What are you asking, I'm telling you that it's okay, it's okay, don't mention her in the future." ”

I grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him around, "What do you call it?" Why don't you let me mention it? ”

Lao Meng took a peg and put the quilt in the crotch of his pants, "Anyway, don't ask, I don't want to say." ”

Although Lao Meng usually looks giggling, he is actually always pretending to be in his heart. It seems that he and Xiaoyao have fallen out, and it is not good to say that they have broken up, and the marriage must not have been concluded.

I deliberately got angry with him, "It's the thing, and the daughter-in-law who has been talking about it for four years said to run away." ”

"Aren't you the same, begging Chen Yu to compound from high school to now, have you succeeded?"

Lao Meng shut up what I said, turned around and lay on the bed without speaking.

People say that first love is the white moonlight in a man's heart for a lifetime, and this is also the case for me. When I was with my first love, I should have played games, played games, and quarreled.

But after the breakup, I suddenly felt like a bastard, why didn't such a good girl cherish it.

But by the time I reacted and wanted to chase them back, their hearts had already flown away.

I can't say whether I really can't let go or I feel regretful, in short, I have been going around in the past few years after the breakup, and I haven't been able to come out completely.

I sighed and fell asleep, and I didn't know how long it took before I fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly felt an itch at the base of my ear, as if someone was exhaling at me.

I thought it was Lao Meng, so I muttered don't make a fuss, turned around and faced the wall and planned to continue sleeping, but it felt more and more wrong.

When I first turned around, my arm seemed to be swept by something wet, and the cold touch was still on my arm, and I woke up from my sleep at once, but I still closed my eyes and didn't dare to look back.

The even wheezing sound was still in my ears, and at this moment I only felt cold to the bone, and my body began to tremble uncontrollably.

I couldn't imagine what it was like to be facing me right now, and just as I was hesitating to turn my head, a pair of cold hands reached through the gap in the quilt and felt between my legs.

With the breath that had not been extinguished during the day, I clamped my legs, fixed the cold hands, and then sat up with a sudden, grabbed the man's arm from under the crotch and pressed it to the bed.

But the touch of my hand tells me that this is not human skin at all. It was like a layer of wax oil that was about to melt, sticky and slippery. Through the almost soft layer of skin, I could even feel the shape of her subcutaneous bone.

I withdrew my hand and jumped out of bed to turn on the light, and I was momentarily blind from dark to bright. When I came back to my senses, I found myself standing on a large ship.

Is this a dream?
