Chapter Seventy-Two: A Narrow Road Encounter
Subconsciously glanced back, and saw several thieves standing outside, a few of whom I had seen when I was at the station.
I didn't expect that we had just separated from Ye Tian, and we happened to bump into this group of life-urging ghosts, which was really unlucky.
Saying this in my heart, I hurriedly pulled Dongfang, signaled him to be careful, and pointed to a few people outside the door with my eyes.
He glanced back, nodded to me, understood what I meant, and called Chen Haidong and asked him to come over to help solve the siege, while walking towards the restaurant, where there were many people.
Although the restaurant does not look big from the outside, there is something else inside, and we walked all the way to find that there are more than 30 tables here, and between several tables, there are some partitions, dividing the inward part into different environments.
Deep in the dining room, there are no windows, but the walls are dotted with many small lights, which looks like a quiet and warm atmosphere.
We found a small table across from each other in the innermost partition, and when the waiter came to greet us, I organized my language and asked him, "Have I been to you?" β
The other party was stunned by my question, looked at me again, and asked, "Do you want to check your consumption records with us?" β
Dongfang and I glanced at each other and immediately nodded, "yes, I remember that I seem to have a membership card with you!" β
When the waiter heard me say this, he looked puzzled, but he didn't ask anything more, "Then, if you want to check your consumption records and member questions, you can follow me to the service desk to inquire." β
I nodded, and I felt a little embarrassed to ask just now, but if I said that there is a person who looks exactly like me, did I get a membership card here, and asked the other party to help me check his phone number or something, will the other party directly refuse out of the protection of member information?
But fortunately, the waiter is very good at reading people, which also saves me a lot of trouble, and by brushing my face, I can also find what we are looking for.
Following the waiter, we came to a workshop, and the waiter told a staff member here what we were here for, and the other person nodded and looked at me again, as if to confirm my identity.
After that, he said to us, "You applied for a 50% off membership card with us three months ago, and you have used it three times, the most recent one was a month ago, and the consumption was 136 yuan. β
We didn't dare to be interested in these news, so we didn't care, and instead asked, "Then can you please help me check my mobile phone number and the address I left at that time?" β
When the other party heard me ask this, he looked disdainful and asked hesitantly, "Don't you know your own number?" β
I scratched my head, I really didn't know what excuse to make, so I had to say, "I have too many numbers, I forgot this number, that's why I ......"
The other party looked to the east again, and I felt that the look seemed to say, "I'm afraid your friend is stupid!" I don't even remember my phone number.
But fortunately, I didn't really say that, and it also helped us find out the information left by "me", but the contact address and age columns were empty, and even the name only showed Wan Moumou.
I was puzzled and asked him, why didn't he show his name? but ushered in the other party's surprised gaze.
"Sir, you won't even remember your name!"
I was even more speechless, so I didn't ask any more immediately, took out my mobile phone and called out the number, but I didn't call immediately.
When he left this workshop, Dongfang burst out laughing, "You're so interesting!" Before checking your own information, can it be considered that you want to check your consumption records? Remembering your own number can also be considered as losing your phone, but you actually asked your name, hahaha! β
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and while walking out, I dialed the number just now, but the phone rang for a long time, and no one answered.
It's possible that this number is also empty, but after thinking about it, I suddenly felt wrong, I seemed to be talking to myself.
That person looks exactly like me, like my clone, just like the real and fake Monkey King in "Journey to the West", so will the mobile phone number I use now also be cloned by him?
I was terrified to wait for the call to be answered, and at the same time I was afraid that the call would be answered, and what would I do if things were really what I thought.
Shaking my head, I tried to shake off such strange thoughts, and finally heard a tick, and the other party connected the phone.
Hesitating, I said to the other person, "Hey! β
"Are you looking for me?" The voice that answered me completely dispelled what I had just thought, that voice was not mine, which showed that I was not completely copied, at least the voice was different.
Listening to the voice, it makes people feel that the owner of this voice is not a young man, but when I asked about his identity, the other party suddenly laughed, "Don't you know very well!" If you don't know who you're looking for and why you're coming to the restaurant, check this number? β
I didn't react for a moment when he said this, but then I looked around nervously and asked the man in a low voice, "How do you know that I came to the restaurant and found this number, who are you, and where are you now?" β
"Don't be afraid, I didn't mean to tell you these meaningless things, and I'm not the person you're looking for now, but I'm the one you wanted to find before."
I couldn't understand what he said, "Enough, don't play dumb riddles with me, since you know I'm here, I must be nearby, come out quickly!" Stop playing these meaningless games. β
"No, it's not actually me playing this game with you, it's the people around you, in fact, you should think about how to deal with them now, but it's better to hurry! Also, I'm not trying to hurt you, we're not enemies, the person you know, the one who looks exactly like you, in fact, he's always looking for you, but it's not the time for you to meet. β
"What do you mean?" The more I listened to him, the more confused I became, but the other party didn't explain it to me.
"When the time comes, I'll tell you something," he said, and the other man coughed a few times, and then continued, "You have to be careful of them now, they are a bunch of people who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals!" β
After saying this, the other party hung up the phone, and when I looked up at the door again, I saw that those people were already approaching us.
Dongfang and I glanced at each other, he had already called Chen Haidong, but it would take a while for him to bring someone over.
At this time, the door was blocked by those people, and a man in a black summer dress took the lead and looked at the guests inside one by one, searching for our traces.
At this time, the boss came out of the back room, saw these intruders with unkind faces, and hesitated to ask, "What are you here for?" β
The leader glanced at him, took out a photograph and handed it to him, saying, "We're looking for this guy!" Have you seen him? β
The shopkeeper looked at it a few times, and then asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for this person for?" β
"You don't care about this, have you seen it yet?"
The other party shook his head and said that he had never seen it, but a young man with dyed yellow hair next to him said, "That person must be here, I obviously saw him come in just now!" β
The person who took the lead glanced at the shopkeeper, didn't ask anything more, and threw down a sentence, "If you are here, it is absolutely impossible to disappear from under our noses, everyone look carefully!" β
The shopkeeper saw that there were many of them, and no one around dared to say anything, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.
It's not a big restaurant, and it's not a good idea for us to hide behind it, and if they find it, we really won't have a chance to escape.
Taking advantage of this time, I looked ahead, and there was no way out, so I had to walk back with Dongfang.
After a while, we returned to the previous workshop, and the person sitting behind the computer asked curiously, but we didn't have time to answer, we were all looking for where to go.
After a few glances at the surrounding walls, I noticed that there were two skylights in the walls.
At this time, there was already the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and I didn't have time to hesitate anymore, so I pointed out the skylight to the east, and I didn't care about the staff's stopping, so the two of us took a ladder and climbed up the skylight.
I let Dongfang step on my shoulder, and when I pushed him up, I only heard the footsteps already in the hallway of the door.
"How's it going, okay!" I was anxiously urging Dongfang to climb up, and I looked back at the door.
Dongfang on his head, his movements were not slow, and after fixing his body, he looked up at the window a few times, and after saying that there was no one outside, he began to climb up the window shelf.
The skylight wasn't big, but it could squeeze him, and I saw him fix himself and then grabbed his leg and climbed up.
It was too late to say that it was too late, and there were soon two more people on this small window, but after all, it was only a skylight, and it was not enough to accommodate us, so as soon as I climbed up, Dongfang was ready to climb down.
The outside wall was not low, but fortunately, not far from us, there was a pipe for heating, and Dongfang walked inside, feeling that he could withstand his strength, so he beckoned me to come quickly.
Actually, I don't want to rub it any longer, but we're not on flat ground, so it's not as good as it could be.
As I cautiously climbed down against the wall, I heard the door suddenly pushed open, a series of chaotic footsteps, and the voice of the waiter filling the workshop, and then coming from the window, urging me to speed up.
But the more this happens, the more I feel that my movements are stiff, and my heart is so anxious! I can't wait to jump right from here.
I tried my toes on the heating pipe three or four times before I felt a little more focus, and then I dared to let go of the window sill that I was holding.
By the time we jumped safely, someone had already climbed up the window, and before we could take a few steps forward, we heard a man say to us in a loud voice, "Stop!" β
Hearing this sound, we dared to stop more, so the girl ran forward, but as soon as we ran, none of us paid attention to the direction, and when we stopped to breathe, we found that we had run into a dead end.
We can't be blamed for this, if this alley is short, we may find something, although we panic, but what is the point of running to the road of death.
After stopping, we looked back and found that they hadn't chased after them, but if we wanted to go back, we were worried that they would be guarding the mouth of the alley.
Looking around, there are all old stone brick walls, the lowest is two meters and five meters high, and there is no door around, if we can find a family, it is better to take refuge for a while.
But there was no way around, we had to go further inside, hoping to find some way out, but not long after walking, we saw two small doors.
Here we pause and hesitantly look up at the word "toilet" written in lime on it.
After only hesitating for a while, we made a bold decision, maybe they were in a hurry and would miss this place, and it would be a good idea for us to hide here for the time being.
Now, there is no other way, we can only be dead horses and live horse doctors, but when we walked to the men's toilet, we stopped again and looked at Dongfang.
He shrugged his shoulders and said that his life was at stake, so we broke into the women's restroom without saying a word, pushing the wooden door of the cubicle to make sure there was no one inside.
Finally we found two unoccupied compartments in the back, and we went inside, but as soon as I got inside, I heard footsteps outsideβthey were coming.
