Chapter 18: Turning Enemies into Friends

Seeing Li Xiao squinting at his own stir-frying, Chef Tie took the spatula and waved it twice, making a gesture to hit Li Xiao's head. Because he was stir-frying, the distance was far away, and he didn't reach Li Xiao's head. Seeing this, Xiao Tie hurriedly said to Chef Tie, "Master, there is no firewood. ”

Chef Tie said to Xiao Tie: "You go to the firewood room to get firewood." Iron Eleven, you roll over for me to light the fire. ”

Li Xiao had no choice but to replace Xiao Tie, and when he walked to the stove, he was kicked in the waist by Chef Tie. Xiao Tie handed the tongs to Li Xiao and went to take the firewood. It was very hot in front of the stove, Li Xiao lowered his head and burned the fire, sweating like rain, and complained in his heart: You are special, you are a sadist, a sadist with no humanity. I'm sure I'm going to find my dad to settle accounts with you, how can there be someone like you in this world. Marty, my parents haven't beaten me yet, why are you hitting me? Why are you hitting me?

Is it just because this isn't my home?

After Li Xiao added firewood to the bottom of the stove several times, the fire was actually extinguished! Li Xiao hurriedly used the tongs to pluck and blow with his mouth. But the fire was still extinguished, and the smoke that came out from the bottom of the stove made Li Xiao cough repeatedly. Chef Tie took the spatula and beat Li Xiao violently.

......

Li Xiao was beaten all over his body by Chef Tie, and strangely, these injuries were not enough to kill Li Xiao. From the time of the third pole of the sun, the restaurant is very lively, the hungry people and homeless people from the north, the strong men and recruits who go to the east, the officials and merchants who run in all directions, wave after wave in the Jinniu Town market, this traffic artery, to rest and eat. The business of the restaurant is very good. Li Xiao was injured, and he was still working with Xiao Tie in the hot kitchen.

Late at night, Li Xiao and Xiao Tie finished washing the dishes and chopsticks and finishing the sundries. Xiao Tie was locked up in the kitchen by Chef Tie, and Li Xiao was locked up in the firewood room by Chef Tie.

In the second half of the night, Li Xiao lay in the firewood room of the Lehehe Restaurant, helplessly thinking: I must leave this ghost place.

There was a big dog at the door of the firewood house, and the dog barked when it heard an unusual noise. It is almost impossible to escape from the firewood room. Do you want me to dig a tunnel like Andy the banker in "The Shawshank Redemption"? No tools, no place to put the excavated rocks. Why didn't Zheng Liangliang come to save me, it's been a day.

The bleeding wounds on his body had healed, and the bruises were not so painful. "How did I recover so quickly?" Li Xiao said to himself in his heart, "Looking back on the past few days, nothing special has happened." Could it be that the Yuncheng Baiyao that Zheng Liangliang said is a miracle medicine. Since it's a miracle medicine, it should be very precious, so why did you give it to me. Could it be that Zheng Liangliang saw that I was handsome, so he secretly fell in love, promised me personally, and couldn't bear me to die, so he gave me a special medicine like a "relic". Possibly, very likely. Of course, maybe it was just because I saved her sister. "I can't remember what Zheng Liangliang looks like. Thinking of the sweet and fragrant smell on her body, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh. When I met her the day before yesterday, all my attention was in my hungry stomach, and I didn't have time to see Zheng Liangliang's appearance. It seems that the ancients were honest and did not deceive the rest. Li Xiao held a nest head in his hand, and made up his mind: he must find a way to escape, find Aunt Li and the second girl, and never let them starve again. That damn iron chef will teach him a lesson sooner or later, and he will not take revenge, not a gentleman.

Li Xiao fantasized about the white rabbit on Zheng Liangliang's chest, and after thinking too much, his heart beat faster. Li Xiao didn't dare to think about it, and said in his heart: physical enjoyment is secondary, and spiritual satisfaction is the main thing. thought that he would not be able to sleep tonight, Li Xiao thought about it, and when he fell asleep, he still held his head tightly. Mao Zedong said well in the four-character poem "Food in Hand", "When you have food in your hand, you don't panic in your heart; you are down-to-earth and beaming." ”

###

In his deep sleep, Li Xiao dreamed of the goddess in the class, and he saw the goddess and her lesbian table holding hands and walking into the classroom. The goddess glanced at the ceiling, as if intentionally or not. Just such a short glance made Li Xiao feel extremely frightened, because at this time he realized that he was floating on the ceiling and couldn't fall. He wanted to shout and ask his classmates sitting in their seats to help him, but he couldn't shout, he was anxious. Goddess, why don't you tell everyone and let them save me?

Li Xiao saw through the window glass that the head teacher was passing by the corridor and was about to enter the classroom. He was so shocked that he fell from the ceiling.

After Li Xiao fell, the head teacher was reading the results of the entrance examination. No, after being recruited, I will be promoted to the middle school, where do I need to use the results to rank second?

Don't be second, don't be second. Li Xiao remembers the entrance examination and will remember the entrance examination for the rest of his life. I didn't memorize the ancient Chinese poems, I didn't finish the last problem in mathematics, and I didn't finish politics...... Painful feelings filled his chest, and his anxious mood fueled anger and his mouth was dry. He wanted to shout and vent his emotions, but how could he be loud on campus, in the classroom?

Think about it day and dream night night. The more you attach importance to something, the more it will deform and reappear in your dreams.

Li Xiao suddenly woke up, and the classmates, homeroom teachers, and classrooms beside him were gone. He returned to the real world, and the real world was faced with the situation that he was locked up in a firewood room. Which world is real, is the world in the dream real?

Loneliness, loneliness and fear tormented Li Xiao. In the dark firewood room, Li Xiao was completely sleepy, everything was quiet, and he could only hear the chirping insects in the corner of the firewood room.

The moonlight outside the house shone through the five cracks in the door of the firewood room, leaving five rays of light on the ground. Li Xiao stared at the five lights in a daze, thinking: I can still see the moonlight in the second half of the night, either the full moon or the last quarter moon.

The yellow dog in the doorway walked back and forth, its nails scraping the ground alternately, making a snapping sound.

Suddenly, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth, and the big yellow dog must have smelled the nest head in his hand. Li Xiao was a little ecstatic, he took a bite of the nest head in his hand, and chewed it deliberately. The yellow dog at the door was anxious, and from time to time he put his nose into the crack of the firewood room door to smell it.

Li Xiao split the remaining nest head in his hand into two, and threw a piece out of the crack in the door first, and the yellow dog swallowed it excitedly. After a long time, Li Xiao gave the remaining piece to the yellow dog.

For the next three days, Li Xiao worked with Xiao Tie in the kitchen every day. Hide some food in your pocket at night and give it to the yellow dog in the middle of the night. Sometimes when I go into the front hall, when people are not paying attention, I will pick up one or two leftover bones from the guests, put them in my pocket, and keep them for the yellow dog.

On the fourth day, when Li Xiao came out of the firewood room, he squeezed his eyebrows at the watchdog yellow dog, and the watchdog shook his head and tail, and one person and one dog "eyebrows" and became friends. It's hard to be friends with people. Being friends with a dog is a simple thing. One more friend, one more road.

Late at night on the fourth day, after Li Xiao fed Ah Huang, he began to fumble for the lock of the firewood room, although he failed to open the lock, the yellow dog did not bark. And when Li Xiao stretched out his hand, he also touched Ah Huang's head and nose. Li Xiao didn't open the lock on the fifth day, didn't open it on the sixth day, and still didn't have it on the seventh day.

Li Xiao was almost desperate. If it weren't for the big yellow dog with him, maybe in the dead of night, he would have broken down because of his impatience.

On the eighth day, early in the morning. When Lao Tie unlocked the door and pulled Li Xiao to the kitchen, Li Xiao's nails scratched on the wood door, and his nails were split. Ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain is unbearable. Li Xiao was annoyed in his heart, and secretly sighed that he was unlucky, he didn't expect this damn wooden door to be so hard.

When washing dishes, Li Xiao's fingers hurt even more when they touched water. Li Xiao was furious in his heart: When I was at home before, where did I wash the dishes? When I went back to the firewood room at night, I had to kick the firewood door a few times, kicking hard until it was rotten. Anyway, Ah Huang is now my friend, a friend who will never change his mind.

Suddenly, Li Xiao had an idea, smiled excitedly, and said in his heart: How can you forget the mantra of the math teacher!"Students, this problem requires us to think backwards and deduce the process from the conclusion. What else is commonly used such as "make bold assumptions and carefully verify".

Reverse thinking is thinking backwards. The story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder is a typical example of reverse thinking, the normal way to save people is to "let people get out of the water", and the way to smash the tank is to "let the water leave people". Li Xiao thought while washing the dishes, I can't let the lock leave the door, but I can try. The lock of the firewood room can't be opened, I can break the door. Hehe...... "As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties".

Thinking of a way to escape, Li Xiao's heart became uneasy. He asked Xiao Tie in words what the situation was outside the Lehehe Restaurant. Xiao Tie answered Li Xiao's question while washing the dishes.

From Xiao Tie's answer, Li Xiao learned that the Jinniu Town Market is just a very general market, because there are two official roads intersecting, so a larger market is formed, and this market can be bought and sold every day, unlike those small markets that only buy and sell once every other day.

Li Xiao wanted to ask Xiao Tie to escape, but Xiao Tie sternly refused. Xiao Tie also reminded Li Xiao that if he escaped and was caught, he would be beaten to death.

Li Xiao thought to herself, no matter what, I have to find Aunt Li and the second girl first, then find the owner of the dragon lizard, and finally return to my own home.

Time flies.

Today, business in the restaurant is very good, and Li Xiao and Xiaotie have been busy until late at night.

After Chef Tie locked Li Xiao in the firewood room, he went to sleep.

Li Xiao slept for a long time, and it was dark all around, and he didn't know what time it was. Feeling that everyone was asleep, Li Xiao took out two portions of food from his arms, one for Ah Huang and one for himself, and took out a kitchen knife, ready to unlock the door.

The yellow dog waited by the crack in the door for a long time, already in a bit of a hurry. As soon as Li Xiao reached out and stuffed half of the wowotou into the crack of the door, Ah Huang bit the wowotou away.

Li Xiao thought about breaking the door while Ah Huang hadn't finished eating. Li Xiao pressed the door with his left hand and the knife with his right hand, and was about to study how to go under the knife when a miracle occurred.

Li Xiao wanted to break out of the door, but now he found that the door shaft under the door leaf of the firewood room could be lifted out of the door frame. In other words, Li Xiao can remove the door panel on the left, which is a silent method.

Li Xiao lifted the door on the left, moved it to the right, and after coming out sideways, he gently put the door back into the door frame. All the action is silent, and almost no sound is heard.

Li Xiao's heart was beating so much that he could barely breathe, and after taking a few deep breaths, Li Xiao decided to escape from Lehehe Restaurant as soon as possible.
