Chapter 24 Tong Guohu

The "old place" in Zhang Yicheng's mouth is actually an open-air barbecue restaurant on Balitai Barbecue Street, the owner of this restaurant has created a set of barbecue tools by himself, an alcohol stove is lit under a large iron plate with a large bench, and two small iron barrels are hung on the side of the iron plate, one barrel for new oil and one barrel for old oil; There is a small brush in the barrel of new oil, which can be brushed with cooking oil on the iron plate to roast the meat by itself, and the inside of the iron plate is curved, and at the end of the arc is a small hole, and below is the iron barrel containing the old oil, and the roasted waste oil will pass through, and this small hole will flow into the iron barrel. Because of the novel design and the clean and hygienic feeling, this barbecue restaurant must be overcrowded every night, although the barbecue plate and alcohol stove owner has prepared a lot, but the space at the door is limited, and sometimes diners have to take their own barbecue tools and benches to sneak to the open space dozens of meters away to barbecue.

Because it was still early to arrive, Zhang Yicheng occupied the most advantageous position in front of the restaurant early, which was closest to the restaurant kitchen and the most convenient to order.

Because he was in a good mood, Zhang Yicheng came up and ordered eight bottles of beer, ready to drink him until it was dark, and the wine bottles in this place really startled Luo Zhen, who arrived later, "I rely on Yicheng, are you going to work hard in the direction of alcohol poisoning?" ”

"Four bottles for one person, less nonsense!" Zhang Yicheng picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks, skillfully opened a bottle of beer, and put it under Luo Zhen's feet......

Eight bottles were drunk, five bottles were drunk, and then two bottles, and before I knew it, more than a dozen bottles of beer had been drunk, and the amount of alcohol was not put aside, and the two people's stomachs were almost full in terms of capacity alone, because it was not a weekend, so the people who had supper left relatively early, not yet twelve o'clock, including Zhang Yicheng's table, there were only two tables left in front of the entire restaurant that had not yet been settled.

"Boss, ...... again Again...... Two bottles of beer...... "Luo Zhen seems to have drunk high.

"Don't! Don't! Boss lady, pay the bill! Seeing that Luo Zhen still wanted wine, Zhang Yicheng hurriedly motioned to the proprietress to settle the bill, "Don't drink it, you can't drink it back!" Everyone has closed the stalls, let's withdraw too! ”

"Collect ...... What kind of stall...... That's not ...... Is there another table......" Luo Zhen drunkenly pointed to a table of guests not far behind him, "You...... Lie to me...... You are not my brother, you are not my ......" Speaking of this, this Luo Zhen actually plunged into Zhang Yicheng's arms with the strength of wine and cried with a whimper.

"I rely on my eldest brother, don't you do this, okay?" At this time, the proprietress happened to walk to the table to check out, and Zhang Yicheng really wanted to find a crack to drill into, "I'll send you home, hurry up!" ”

"I'm not leaving...... I...... No...... Vomit ......" was saying, this Luo Zhen suddenly took a sip, impartially spit on the hot iron plate used for the barbecue, and white smoke rose in an instant, Zhang Yicheng at this moment seemed to have the heart of suicide, looked up at the proprietress and pretended not to see it elsewhere.

"Young master, let's not be embarrassed here, can we?" While giving the boss a smile to the hostess, Zhang Yicheng forcibly dragged Luo Zhen up. To tell the truth, Zhang Yicheng drank less than a third of these dozen bottles of beer, and most of the rest were drunk by Luo Zhen, I wanted to find someone to share the pleasure of double happiness, which is good, I didn't do anything, but the one who sat with him drank high, "Boss, I'm really sorry this time, I'll compensate you for an iron plate, you can just deduct it from the meal fee......" After that, he took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the proprietress, taking advantage of the opportunity for the proprietress to go back to the house to find money, Zhang Yicheng simply took out the key and wanted to make a mark on the edge of the iron plate, The heart said that if this proprietress brushes this iron plate and continues to use it, it will be good to distinguish it next time......

"This little brother ......" was when Zhang Yicheng took the key to mark the iron plate, and suddenly felt that the figure around him flashed, and Zhang Yicheng, who was frightened, was excited, and looked up to see that it was the eldest brother who had been sitting at the opposite table......

"Can you help?" I saw that this buddy looks like the alien ET (1) in the movie, the monkey's thin face is against a huge head, the oil is shiny as if it has been waxed, I don't know if it's because of the barbecue oil smoke or the reason why I haven't washed my face for many days, under the head is a pair of super myopic glasses that are thicker than the bottom of the bottle, the face is full of dark pockmarks and acne pits, and the sparse hair fluttering in the wind seems to be a place to support the center, and I am in my thirties when I listen to talking, but I look like I am definitely fifty years away.

"Oh! Thanks, no help! Put away the key and stood up, looked back, and couldn't help but shiver all over his body, and said that if he was Sun Wukong, he didn't need to open the stick of the fiery eyes, which was obviously a monster, just now this guy has been sitting behind him, and he really didn't pay attention to it, I didn't expect it to be so strange, it seems that Uncle Cui Liyan (2), who opened the clinic, can finally look at it......

"My name is Tong Guohu," the ET man smiled all over his face, and put up one of Luo Zhen's arms in a fake way, "What do you call the little brother?" ”

"My name is Zhang ......" Zhang Yicheng just wanted to say his name, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little wrong, the chance of meeting Lei Feng this year is not high, why is this guy so enthusiastic?" Brother Tong, I can do it myself, I don't need to help, thank you! ”

"Little brother, I ......" Tong Guohu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, "I have a car, or I'll drive you home!" ”

"I really don't need to, we can just take a taxi ourselves......" Tong Guohu said this, Zhang Yicheng felt even more wrong, this fucking dedication is either a traitor or a thief, he doesn't know this person at all, this is a help and a drive, what is the intention? Could it be a human trafficker? It's not like ah, human traffickers abduct people, they all pick well-behaved and cute children or good-looking young women, how can there be eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys? Besides, it's still two drunks? How do you turn back?

"Oh, okay, then I'll see you ......" Tong Guohu smiled, let go of Luo Zhen's arm, and it happened that the proprietress came out of the house with change, only to see this Tong Guohu Zhou took out a dozen yuan of change and handed it over, the proprietress took the money and nodded it, put the money in her pocket without saying a word, and then found five cents and handed it back.

"How...... How can you ......" Looking at Tong Guohu checking out, Zhang Yicheng was also stunned, although he didn't pay attention to Uncle Tong's appearance before, but this person should have been sitting in the back for a while, and it seemed that he couldn't come a few minutes later than himself, how could he settle such a little money? Could it be that it is the boss's relatives and friends, looking at the hostility on the face of the proprietress, it is not like ah, and in a blink of an eye, he glanced at the table where Tong Guohu was sitting, and it seemed that there was only a plate of beef slices that were basically not roasted and a pot of free tea.

"Hehe, see you ...... when you turn around" Taking the money recovered by the proprietress, Tong Guohu nodded at Zhang Yicheng, turned around and walked towards the parking lot.

"What the fuck weird...... It can't be the killer who offended someone before and sent me to seek revenge, right? "Somehow, Zhang Yicheng always felt that this Tong Guohu was a little wrong, firstly, his behavior was abnormal, and secondly, he didn't leave if he didn't leave, and as soon as he settled the bill, this person also withdrew, and it was clear that he came to himself, looking at Tong Guohu's mantis-like back, Zhang Yicheng recalled vigorously, who had offended him so hard before? Is it worth hiring a youkai to seek revenge? Could it be that Luo Zhen is an enemy?

Because Luo Zhen drank too much, he was expected to have a meal when he went home, Zhang Yicheng simply took a taxi to take Luo Zhen back to his home, after all, he fooled people out, didn't he? Fortunately, Luo Zhen's mobile phone didn't ring overnight, and it seems that his parents are too lazy to care about this immoral son, otherwise how could he not return home at night on the eve of the college entrance examination, and his parents would not even make a call?

Before six o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhang Yicheng dragged Luo Zhen out of bed, and went out of the house before his father Zhang Guozhong, who also drank too much last night, got up, and when the two came to the school, there were just three or four people living in the whole classroom.

"Yicheng!!" Just when Zhang Yicheng was lying on the table and was about to sleep again, he felt that there was suddenly another person around him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Jiang Jun who didn't know when he had entered the classroom.

"It's you, how is your cousin?" To be honest, since yesterday's incident, Zhang Yicheng is not as annoyed by Luo Zhen as before, but he is still looking forward to seeing this buddy so that he can inquire about Zhou Yunran's situation.

"This ...... I didn't ask my mother, she was in the hospital with the bed, and she hadn't come back when I went out......" Jiang Jun didn't seem to pay attention to Zhou Yunran's affairs, "However, the previous owner of Fukang Garden, I inquired about it!" This is the address of his new move! While speaking, Jiang Jun took out a note from his pocket, "This person's newly moved house was still found by the intermediary, my father sent two cigarettes to the manager of the intermediary, and asked for the address...... "It seems that since Zhang Yicheng promised to cause his illness yesterday, this family has really not been idle, and went to spy on intelligence overnight......

"I'm talking about you...... Why are you so heartless? At the beginning, your cousin ran around for your business, but now that there is such a big thing in someone's house, why are you indifferent? Zhang Yicheng glanced at Luo Zhen, and the little goodwill he had just accumulated was gone.

"I also want to see her, but I have this problem, you don't know, I ...... it at night" Luo Zhen seemed to be quite aggrieved, holding a note in his hand and handing it over, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, okay, care more about people in the future, it's your family's relatives......" Zhang Yicheng pulled over the note, opened it, and the cornea almost fell off, only to see Tong Guohu's three words written crookedly on the line of the paper, and the address and phone number were written below. No way...... How is he ......? ”
