72. Unlucky Stalker
When the two of them came out, it was close to five o'clock, just in time for the evening rush hour of the traffic in the capital of God. This is a very long period of time, and it doesn't get better until after 8 p.m. So the two of them didn't drive at all, and went directly to the subway station.
One of the biggest features of Beijing subway station is that you need to walk.
For example, when you sit in a subway car, as long as you don't sit from the starting point to the end point, you will generally be able to get to the station you want to go in half an hour. But you'll have to spend at least an hour in the subway passage, because you'll still have half an hour to go.
From this opening to that opening, if you unfortunately need to transfer in the middle, it is definitely a double test of body and mind, especially in summer.
This problem is actually a historical problem that has been studied for many years, but it will take time for it to really improve.
This kind of thing is unimaginable without experiencing it. When they returned to the ground again, Hao Dong deeply felt the tremendous pressure from the imperial capital.
It's not even a weekend, and the front door area is still crowded.
The faΓ§ade outside Quanjude is not too big, and there is a long queue at the take-out window alone, standing in front of the door, and you can't even see the situation in the store. The only thing that can be confirmed is that there will definitely be no shortage of people inside, and even the characteristic Chinese decoration of the store itself, which fits well with the street style, makes people feel crowded.
There were too many people, and Hao Dong couldn't help but get nervous. He had money with him, which was the reward for the last two trips. It's not too much, but it's not too little, and there are 20,000. The most important thing is that he hasn't even found the time to deposit all of them in the bank, and he still has nearly 10,000 cash on him.
Usually it doesn't matter, but at this time, people are crowded, and only he and Qi Jue are the two of them, in case one eye is wrong and is touched away, it will be depressing.
Hao Dong became vigilant, although it had not developed to the extent that he covered his pockets with his hands and told others that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, but he was also a little too nervous. The eyes looked east and west, but whenever the eyes fell on him for a long time, they felt that the other party might be a potential three hands.
In this state, he really noticed that something was wrong, as if someone was really following them.
It was a young man in a very ordinary T-shirt and jeans, and he didn't have an unconventional dyed motley hair. The facial features are a little far away and can't be seen clearly, but it doesn't feel like the kind of look that will attract people's eyes, it's very ordinary.
Such a person, thrown in the crowd, is definitely not the type that can attract the attention of others. If Hao Dong hadn't been too careful, he wouldn't have noticed that the man seemed to be following them for a long time.
It's just that since you're following, if you get noticed, you'll definitely still be discovered. Hao Dong is a little unsure now, I don't know if Xiao Qi Ye found out or not.
Thinking of this, he secretly went to see Qi Jue. Then I found that sure enough, the other party also seemed to be looking in that direction inadvertently.
Now that they have all noticed, Hao Dong is not worried that he is nervous, and quietly pulls Qi Jue's sleeve: "Has that person over there been with us for a while?" β
Qi Jue didn't hide it from him, his brows furrowed a little: "Hmm." β
Hao Dong was very curious: "Then what does he want to do?" β
The man was still a little far away from them, definitely not the distance that could suddenly rush over and grab the bag. What's more, this is not far from the south of Tiananmen Square, and if anyone dares to commit a crime here, they must definitely be prepared to be arrested.
Thinking about it this way, Hao Dong felt that the possibility of the other party discovering that he had money and wanted to steal it became lower, but the other possibility was much greater: "That can't be also from the Ru family, right?" β
This time, Qi Jue was very simple: "No." β
Hao Dong was curious, and he didn't know what Xiao Qi Ye judged on the basis of it, but it was definitely not. He didn't have time to ask, though, because it was finally their turn to wait for the meal.
In a restaurant with a lot of people, eating a meal is completely a war. The two of them didn't have much time to talk for a while, ordering food and eating, and they were quite busy.
However, while waiting for the dishes, Hao Dong still determined one thing, that person really had a purpose. Because from the moment they sat down in the store, the man was near the front of the store, as if he was worried that there would be too many people, and he would be lost for a while.
If you don't say that curiosity kills cats, it's the same with people.
I didn't notice it at first; Later, when he found out, he didn't dare to toss more; When he knew that Xiao Qi Ye had also found out, it seemed that he had something to rely on all of a sudden, and Hao Dong's worries continued, and curiosity came up.
As a result, Qi Jue sat there waiting for the food, and saw that Hao Dong on the opposite side was like a little monkey who couldn't sit still, and glanced at the gate for a while, with a strange expression.
If the person opposite was Ergou, Qi Jue would definitely "sneer" at him directly, but now sitting opposite is Hao Dong, who is already young, and he is still curious and excited, staring at others unabashedly, and he is inexplicably very happy.
Qi Jue felt that he still couldn't do anything to hit the other party, so he could only persuade him slightly: "It's not in the way." "It means you don't have to take that person to heart.
But curiosity is a thing that is useful if you want to talk about it, and then it won't cause harm to people. So Qi Jue looked at Hao Dong very helplessly, and while agreeing to himself with "uh-huh", he still couldn't restrain himself and glanced at the door for a few seconds.
Fortunately, the food was served soon, and with the arrival of the duck, Hao Dong's attention finally returned to the dinner table.
Although they had eaten a full meal at noon, after an afternoon of tossing, both of them were already hungry at this time.
The roast duck is golden and red in color, fragrant, and smells the same as the meal at noon. With the good impression of noon, Hao Dong suddenly felt that his appetite was open.
The presentation here is not as elaborate as at noon, but it looks very real. The thick duck meat and the thin and crispy duck skin are combined and rolled with green onion sauce, which is very textured just by looking at it.
Quanjude's lotus leaf cake is relatively distinctive, it looks slightly smaller, the thickness is relatively thicker, and the toughness is very good. After rolling the duck meat, you will first taste the sweet flour flavor of the crust, then the sauce, and finally the duck meat.
His duck is relatively crispy. In particular, the duck skin, mixed with the taste of the dough, almost does not feel a little greasy, leaving only the fresh and crispy fragrance, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.
The duck meat is thick, but thick but not woody, and full of flavor. When you roll a duck meat, you can immediately feel a sense of satisfaction.
Hao Dong ate four rolls in one breath before he stopped and exhaled, and took a sip of the drink, the feeling was really enjoyable!
Then, he felt some sympathy for the young man outside the door: "It's not easy for him to watch us eat like this." β
Qi Jue just took a sip of beer, and before he could swallow it, he was almost squirted out again by Hao Dong's words. He swallowed reluctantly, glanced at Hao Dong, didn't say much, and silently accelerated his eating.
There are only two people on the table, and there are so many things, one of them has sped up, and the other is absolutely impossible to find unless his mind is not on this.
Hao Dong didn't have the energy to meddle anymore, his eyes were glued to the plates on the table, trying to keep the same speed as Xiao Qiye, and the second half of the meal was quite atmospheric.
Waiting for the dishes on the table to be wiped out, Qi Jue took the initiative to start talking: "Let's play a game in a while." β
These words sounded too inconsistent with Xiao Qiye's image, Hao Dong instantly felt that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but look up: "Huh? β
Qi Jue didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words, and added a note: "Just take a walk after dinner." β
Half an hour later, Hao Dong deeply felt that this step was really ...... It's too narrow!
Only now did he realize that the reason why Xiao Qi Ye was so sure that the young man was not from the Ru family should be because he knew the other party!
So although it was the man who followed them at first, when they came out of the shop after eating, the person being followed became a hunter. The stalker, when he saw them coming straight at him, immediately became like a frightened bird, and turned his head and ran.
It's a pity that Qianmen Street is definitely not a suitable area for running, and if there are many people shopping, you will have a fast speed, and it is difficult to give full play to it.
The young man was not tall at all, he ran bumping and bumping, and occasionally bumped into someone, and he would be grabbed and trained, which was extremely embarrassing.
In contrast, Qi Jue is very leisurely. Seeing that the other party was stopped, he was not in a hurry to go over, just stood there and watched. When the other party finally broke free, he gave full play to the advantages of his physique, shortened the distance between him and the other party in an instant, but did not catch the person directly, and fully made the other party feel the pressure conveyed from him.
Cats catch rats or something, Hao Dong feels that from this moment on, he is going to get to know Xiao Qi Ye again!
Because of this grinding rhythm, the situation he was worried about running after eating and then running out of stomach perforation naturally would not happen.
However, because of this kind of friction, in the end, Xiao Qi Ye suddenly broke out to catch up with the person, and then carried the person to the alley to educate Hao Dong, but he didn't have time to catch up.
When he also ran to the place, the other party had already left, leaving Xiao Qi Ye alone against the wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hao Dong was suddenly depressed, he was looking forward to seeing what their relationship was, why did the young man follow him, but the result was good, and by the time he arrived, everything was over!
Xiao Qi Ye leaned against the wall, looking like he didn't want to say more. Hao Dong's heart is really itching, thinking about Xiao Qi Ye's attitude towards him is obviously the softest recently, so maybe if he asks, Xiao Qi Ye can answer?
After struggling for a while, after all, he couldn't overcome his curiosity, but Hao Dong still mustered up his courage: "Who is that?" β
Hearing his question, Qi Jue turned his face. seemed to be amused by Hao Dong's tangled little expression, with a faint smile in his eyes. It's a pity that the words that came out were infuriating: "I can't tell you yet." β
Hao Dong's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Huh? β
Qi Jue stood up straight and began to walk back: "Go back, the subway should be slightly more crowded at this time." β
Hao Dong caught up with him in two steps: "Wait! Why can't you tell me? Is it a secret? β
Although he asked so, if Xiao Qi Ye dared to admit it directly, Hao Dong would definitely not believe it. If it was really a secret, he believed that with Xiao Qiye's ability, he could completely let himself know nothing!
As if he knew what Hao Dong was thinking, Qi Jue just shook his head: "Ergou knows, you go back and ask him." β
Hao Dong is angry, little Qi Ye, you are doing it on purpose, right! Ergou has already had activities tonight, and he won't come at night, so it's not like you don't know!
It's just that I'm angry, but I still don't dare to explode after all, and in the end I can only hold myself back.
