Chapter Seventy-Two: Strange
It is said that at this noon, it is the coolest thing to have such a bowl of hot, spicy and crispy Shaanxi noodle soup, and sweat profusely. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of diners at this point, but today it's time for dinner, and Liu Mao's place is empty, only he is sitting on a stool and smoking.
The grave team went directly to Liu Mao, and Hu Dabao ran in front and took the lead in rushing into the shed to hide from the sun. He ran so fast that he didn't even look at the road, and almost knocked over the table.
Liu Mao was stunned and didn't know what to think, and the sudden sound startled him, and he almost threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the pot. When I looked up, I saw that it was Hu Dajiao's meat thing, and suddenly squinted his eyes with a strange expression and a gloomy face.
Lao Wu also came over at this time, and just now he saw Hu Dafang startling Liu Hao, so he smiled and said: "We wanted to send you some meat, but this pig didn't hold it, and it almost went directly into the pot when it ran too fast, Lao Liu couldn't help it." But Liu Hao didn't say anything, and still kept silent with a gloomy face.
Just opened the pot and the steaming red noodle soup, Hu Da kept sucking at it, and he didn't hear what Lao Wu just said about him, so he found a place to drop his big ass, and beckoned to hurry up and have a bowl.
Liu Mao stood up and walked to the cauldron, picked up a spoon and filled seven large bowls of noodle soup, and served a few to that brother. When he was done, Lao Wu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two and lit them, handed one to Liu and said, "Lao Liu, our brothers forgot to bring money when they came out today, and we will give it to you together when we come to eat next time!" ”
Liu Mao is very strange today, in the past, he saw a few brothers from the grave team, they were all very enthusiastic, and he especially liked to talk to Lao Wu about the grave slope. But today, since they arrived, his face has been gloomy, and no one knows what happened to him. Hearing that Lao Wu didn't bring any money, he just nodded his head and said one word after taking the cigarette: "OK" is no longer a word.
Among the people present, only Lao Wu and Lao Si saw that Liu hats were wrong, and the others competed with the noodle soup.
Hu Dabao held the bowl and drank a big mouthful of soup, then coughed for a long time, held the table and inhaled: "Hey I said, hey I said Liu hat?" You—You beat the chili seller to death, didn't you? Oh my god! You can fucking kill people! ”
As soon as he finished saying this, several people next to him also squirted out the noodle soup in their mouths, tears and snot flowing. Xiao Qi, who can eat the most spicy food, couldn't stand it, his face was red after just a few bites, and his whole body was sweaty, and after eating a few bites, he pushed the bowl away and said, "It's too spicy, I can't eat it." ”
Lao Wu looked at Liu Hao, and sniffed the bowl of red noodle soup in front of him, which made him cough. Lao Wu sensed that something was wrong, chuckled and pretended to be concerned and said, "Lao Liu? Is there something going on at home? Feeling bad? ”
Liu Mao had a cigarette in his mouth, and when he heard Lao Wu ask, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the lower right corner, and he replied with a muffled voice: "Well, yes, something happened at home, and the old lady and the old lady are sick." ”
Hu Da said in a loud voice: "Hey Liu hat, your old lady is sick and hurry back, how many of our brothers are you here?" Look at my mouth, it's all swollen, you have to make up for it! Fourth! What are you stabbing me for! Hu Dabao actually wanted to say that he wanted Liu Hao to re-order a pot of noodle soup to compensate him for a bowl, but the fourth child thought that he was going to ask you Liu Hao for money, so he poked his ribs with his fingers.
Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly kicked Hu in the arm and said to him: "Go, go and squat and eat, don't bother here." Then he asked Liu Mao: "Old Liu, why don't you go home when your mother is sick?" Our village is a day's journey at most, haven't we all gone back to this time sooner? ”
"I can't go back, I'm far away!" Liu Hao poured some water into the cauldron, boiled it again, and then replied.
The brothers didn't dare to eat the tempting noodle soup when they saw it, so they could only sit and wait for Liu Mao's next pot, and Liu Mao didn't say a word, the atmosphere was very strange. Lao Wu pretended to give the fourth child a pair of fire, and whispered: "Fourth, what do you say is wrong with Liu Hao?" ”
The fourth took a puff of cigarette, lowered his head and whispered, "There are ghosts!" ”
After more than ten minutes, the pot was finally ready, and I refilled the bowl for my brothers, ignoring them and sitting on the side to cool the breeze.
Hu Dabao hurriedly tasted it, this time it was not so spicy, but the taste was not right, it was not as delicious as before, and the noodles were cut irregularly, as if they had been cooked by a different person. But he didn't eat much mutton soup at all just because he drank alcohol yesterday, and he was really hungry at this point. Now that my face is clean, I can't pick what is delicious or not, I can eat as long as I can, and finally just shut up and drink my own soup.
Lao Wu only ate a few bites before putting down his chopsticks, touching the red oil on the side of his mouth, and walking to Liu Hao's side and sitting down. He didn't just come to drink noodle soup this time, but wanted to ask Liu Mao something about the wall snitch, but he didn't expect Liu Mao to be so strange, and he finally waited for an opportunity to talk to him.
"Lao Liu, if your mother is sick, go home more often, don't be so desperate, you see that there are fewer people who have eaten recently, and it's okay to delay for a few days, right? Oh yes! I want to ask you something, do you know the wall lines? ”
As soon as he heard the three words on the wall, Liu Hao suddenly raised his drooping head, stared at Lao Wu for a long time, and then said in a muffled voice: "Heard, it was those thieves who went to the house to uncover the tiles before, right?" ”
"Hey, yes, yes! It's the thieves. It's not a secret, our dormitory recruited thieves last night, and the money that was just sent was touched, but I knew that it was the thief who stole the money. Lao Wu said with a smile.
Liu Hao drooped his eyelids and thought for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "How do you know that the wall word line snitch did it?" Besides, what years have it been, how can there be that snitch with a name? ”
Lao Wu knew that he could ask this, took out the black cloth from his pocket, and opened it in front of Liu Hao. It was a black scarf the size of a square handkerchief, with three lines of gold threads embroidered diagonally, and the black inlaid gold looked very blinking, and those who knew the industry could see at a glance that this was the face towel covered by the words on the wall back then.
Liu Hao was very surprised when he saw it, and asked Lao Wu where did he get this? Lao Wu took a sip and said: "I'm afraid that the thief who touched the house last night fell, I know that you have lived in Lushi County for a long time, and I guess you can know something, so come and ask." ”
Liu Hao's face finally showed a little color after a long time, as if he had learned something interesting, and said to Lao Wu with a strange smile: "Since you ask so, I won't hide it, what about me, I really know something, I can't say it too much, but I can give you an idea to lure the snitch out, and then it's up to you to solve it yourself!" ”
