Chapter 18: The Strange Affair of Giant Gate Town
Li Xumu turned his head to look at the adjacent table and found that it were four drunken men about 30 years old with big shoulders and round waists.
"What do you see!? Is the young man very unconvinced?! The drunken man who had just yelled quietly reached for an empty wine bottle with his right hand.
Seeing the situation, the proprietress of the hot pot restaurant hurriedly ran out and said good words, "Brother Long, Brother Long!" ~ Brothers, I'm so happy to drink today! Why bother?! Look at them, they're all children! Don't be like them! Sit down! Sit down! ”
This man, known as Brother Long, drooped his mouth and glared at Li Xumu viciously, "Apologize!" ”
Han Wei, who was sitting on the side, squinted his eyes and observed the development of the situation, he knew Li Xumu's temper very well in his heart, it seemed that the situation must be in a bad direction, and he was prepared in advance.
Li Xumu stood up silently and said expressionlessly: "It should be you who apologize." ”
As soon as the words fell, Brother Long scolded his mother, picked up a wine bottle and shook it vigorously in his hand, and the wine bottle quickly smashed into Li Xumu's face.
Li Xumu, who reacted quickly, instantly raised his elbow to block his face, only to hear the sound of touching, glass shards flew scattered in the air, Li Xumu calmly leaned his head back, and turned his face sideways to avoid the broken wine bottle residue. After years of Jeet Kune Do practice, the hardness of the bones is also extraordinary.
Li Xumu shook the arm used for defense, shot out with a high foot, and kicked Brother Long's chin squarely, instantly lost consciousness and fell heavily on the hot pot table, the entire table was crushed, and the soup dishes fell to the ground. The other three drunks hesitated for a few seconds before reacting, one of them swung his fist heavily, Li Xumu bent over, the drunk man was empty, and due to the effect of alcohol, he suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Another drunk man also rushed over, his fist rushed straight into the opponent's nose, and before he could hit the target, he felt that the right side of his face was hit by a fist as fast as a bullet, and suddenly his eyes were blackened, his ears rang non-stop, and he fell to the ground heavily.
"Be careful!" Han Wei picked up a chair and threw it at the drunk man who was sneaking up with a wine bottle from behind Li Xumu.
The drunk man was hit by a chair, screamed, stumbled under his feet, and his whole body was planted towards Li Xumu, and Li Xumu dodged sideways, and the drunk fell on the ground and fell a dog to eat.
The proprietress looked at the mess all over the ground in astonishment, and a few drunks who were rolling on the ground with screams, and then she reflected, stomped her feet in a hurry, and urged the clerk to call the police quickly.
Han Wei gasped, pulled Li Xumu's sleeve and said, "Hurry up and retreat, if the police come, it will be troublesome." ”
Before leaving, Li Xumu glanced back at Xue Mo, who was still sitting in place, and Xue Mo left a sentence:
"I hope that your physique and skill, as well as your unique ability to predict death, can help you at Yungang University, although it is insignificant, but I still wish you good luck."
After that, Han Wei and Li Xumu hurriedly left the hot pot restaurant and found a convenient local hotel, preparing to spend the night in Jumen Town.
A male employee at the front desk of the hotel looked at Han Wei with a suspicious face, "We only have a double bed room, are you sure you two only have one?" ”
"Let's go! Let's go! Han Wei stuffed his ID card into the waiter's hand.
Li Xumu took out a few more bills from his pocket with a disgusted expression, "Waiter, please open two!" As soon as I remembered the last time I slept at my house, you had a spring dream at night and your thighs pressed on me, and I was nauseous and had goosebumps all over my body! Two rooms! ”
The waiter looked at the two people with strange eyes, took Li Xumu's ID card and stopped talking.
"What the hell are you..."Han Wei lowered his voice embarrassedly, glanced at the waiter, and said silently with a little annoyance: "You're so rich, aren't you..."
After opening the room, the two people walked down the stairwell and went to their respective rooms.
On the way, Han Wei waved his fist and said excitedly: "I haven't fought for a long time since I graduated, you look at those unlucky people who made trouble just now, they were beaten, I won't say anything about you if you have practiced, you just say that my last chair is not handsome!" Does it count as saving you? Hey, being a brother is really heartbreaking for you in all aspects! It's going to be me when it matters most. ”
Li Xumu took out two cigarettes, one was put in his own mouth, and one was quickly stuffed into Han Wei's mouth, signaling to shut up.
"Okay, I'm very tired today, let's rest early, let's set off to Yungang University early tomorrow morning" Li Xumu was worried, too many things had happened along the way, but there was still no news about Zhao Yunuo, but more questions arose.
This express hotel is a small two-storey building with a damp and musty smell in the air, which is common in this underdeveloped retro town.
Some of the dark carpets can be seen that they have not been replaced for a long time. There is a deep corridor on each floor, and rooms are all over it, probably because the boss wants to save electricity, the lights in the corridor are not fully turned on, and it looks even darker against the background of the mottled wallpaper.
The room where Li Xumu lived was diagonally opposite Han Wei, and when he entered the door, Han Wei held the door with one hand, and stroked one of his thighs with the other hand, looking at Li Xumu charmingly, "Handsome guy, really don't want to share a room with me?" ”
"Get out!"
"Oh, it's not a joke, come on, I'm in, you should rest early!"
Han Wei clicked into the room and closed the door, and just as Li Xumu took out his room card and entered the room, the flickering lights in the deepest part of the corridor attracted attention.
The light bulb at the end of the corridor on one side should be in poor contact, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. When it was dark, it was dark, and when it was bright, I found a woman standing at the end!
Li Xumu looked at it, but the light bulb dimmed again, and he didn't light up again after waiting for a long time.
The room opened with a drip, closed the door and turned on the light, and found that the interior of the room was relatively clean, and there was a small independent bathroom on the left side of the door, but there was something wrong with the water heater for bathing inside, and it kept ticking and dropping.
Walking inside, there is the master bedroom, a small bed covered with brand new white sheets, and a TV cabinet opposite the bed with a small TV hanging on it.
Li Xumu picked up the condom on the TV cabinet and looked at it, then put it back again. I recalled that the last time I stayed in a hotel was with Zhao Yunuo, but now I live in this small and cold cabin.
Li Xumu lay on the bed and recalled all kinds of doubts, and unconsciously fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, Li Xumu was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the door.
"Wow,..."
I only heard someone running from left to right outside the door.
"Wow,..."
After a brief pause after running past, the footsteps ran quickly from right to left.
"Wow."
The footsteps came from left to right again, only this time they stopped at the door of their room!
Li Xumu sat up from the bed, turned on the light, and looked at his phone, it was already 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. Who will be running back and forth in the corridors of the hotel at this time?
"Who?"
There was no response at the door, only Li Xumu's own voice echoed in the room.
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a slow knock on the door three times.
"Is Han Wei you?"
Li Xumu got up and got off the ground and walked cautiously to the door.
It's still quiet outside.
Li Xumu gritted his teeth, touched the doorknob with one hand, and clenched his fist with the other hand to deal with the unexpected situation.
The door opened suddenly, and I was greeted by an empty hallway.
Li Xumu walked out of the room and looked left and right, but it was empty, and the light bulb on the side of the corridor was still flickering and dimming, but there was not even a ghost.
Li Xumu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the room, was it another auditory hallucination? Before the door was closed, a scream echoed in the hallway.
This voice....this voice is Han Wei?!
