Chapter 16: The Fox and the Cat
Before following Zhao Haipeng back to pick up the rescuers, Lao Zhao and I made an appointment for three chapters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I understood the first two of the things he said, but I didn't understand the last one.
Therefore, I asked him, "We all understand the first two, but what is the purpose of the last one? This cat and fox of Zhao Jialou...... Any questions?"
Seeing the question, Zhao Haipeng shook his head and said: "In Zhaojialou, the fox is called the maiden beast, and the cat is called the king of the lantern, you can't provoke, it's all ancient rules, I don't believe it, but since I saw the cat demon and the yin nineteen...... I feel like it's better to be taboo. ā
After listening to Lao Zhao's words, I nodded suddenly, although I understood what Zhao Haipeng meant, but I had other strange associations.
Zhao Haipeng's hometown taboos these two things, and we just met these two things and hurt people, which ...... Is it just a coincidence?
I don't have an answer to that now, but the question about the fox and the cat has been lingering in my mind, and it has become a long-lasting illness in my heart all day.
I had heart disease, and the wound on my stomach was inconvenient, so I didn't drive, but let the fourth child work for me and Zhao Haipeng to that place.
Zhao Haipeng's hometown is in Zhaojialou Village in the Yimeng region. I started early in the morning and could get there at about three o'clock on the expressway, but because of my stomach injury, Ah Si rested in the service area of the expressway for a while so that I could recover my strength.
During this period, I, Zhao Haipeng, and the fourth child were bored and hungry, so I went to the canteen of the high-speed service area and ate something.
During this journey, my mood gradually improved, because after all, this was my first trip after more than half a month in the hospital. Relaxing in the green mountains and green waters of Yimeng and breathing fresh air also made me feel different and comfortable.
Also because of my good mood, although I was very hopeless about the food provided by the monopoly unit in the high-speed service area, I still boldly ordered a vinegared fat sausage, a fish-flavored shredded pork, a fried shrimp, and a claypot rice.
After the dishes were complete, I found that although the dishes were slightly less heated, they were also fragrant, and they were much better than the "hard-shell rice" of the monopoly units that I imagined.
The dishes are fragrant and colorful, tempting the appetite, and the most important thing is that we have been in the hospital for more than half a month, so I have long wanted to say goodbye to the days of ascetics, so I want to take the opportunity to liberate my taste nerves.
Therefore, I patted the fourth child on the back and said to them: "It's hard to come out once, everyone eats openly, don't save me money, I'm hungry, you're welcome!"
As I spoke, I licked my salivating tongue, immediately picked up a pair of chopsticks, sandwiched a slippery prawn, and then put it in my mouth to savor the delicious taste of the first meal after being discharged from the hospital.
But at this time, the fourth child next to me suddenly made a quick move, snatched the fresh shrimp that was about to be sent to my mouth and chopsticks, and put it into his mouth.
I was furious at the sudden and presumptuous behavior of the fourth child, so I pointed at his nose and scolded: "Ah Si! are you looking for death?
Listening to my complaints, my younger brother Zhang Ah Sitian smiled shamelessly: "My brother, you can't eat these things!"
Indignant, I asked, "Why can't I eat it?"
Listening to my words, Ah Si stretched out his hand, pointed to my stomach and said, "You forgot! You have an injury on your stomach, and you have 14 stitches in your intestines alone! The doctor told you to eat a vegetarian diet and eat a liquid diet, and this prawn entered your stomach...... You're not afraid of intestinal perforation!"
The words of the fourth child completely left me speechless.
I just got carried away from the hospital, why did I forget these medical orders?
Surprised and puzzled, I suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, so I asked the fourth child again: "Ah Si! Then why didn't you remind me earlier! I spent so much money to buy food, and now I can only watch dryly, do you lose any damage?"
Listening to my questioning, the fourth child who got cheap and sold well smiled and buried himself in eating, while my eldest brother Zhao Haipeng reluctantly came out to play a round and said, "This ...... The dishes have already been ordered, and it is wasted if you don't eat them, and the fourth child has been busy expanding the store recently, which is not easy, you should also make up for your body, you should reward him!"
Zhao Haipeng spoke, and I naturally didn't want to blame anything.
So in desperation, I asked a waitress in the distance, "Waiter, bring me a bowl of hot noodle soup! Add two heads of garlic!"
Listening to my shouting, Ah Si, who had been hit by a thousand knives, raised his hand again and said, "Third brother, you can't eat garlic! It's too irritating, it will burn the small intestine!"
"Get out!" I yelled.
Although I was very angry and aggrieved in my heart, I really didn't have much room for argument, so after venting a little, I could only accept the objective reality, the noodles were on the mineral water, and I sat in the corner of the table to eat my stomach, and occasionally I was greedy, and I could only look up and smell the shrimp.
This meal wasn't the worst thing I've ever eaten in my life, but it was definitely the one I've ever had in my life...... One of the most painful meals.
In this way, in extreme discomfort, after enjoying those things, my whole good mood also fell to the bottom, and the most unwilling thing was that I didn't eat a bite of this meal...... I still have to dig into my pockets.
With a sad face, after I watched others put down their chopsticks, I immediately raised my hand at the waiter and said, "Waiter!
As I spoke, a waitress nodded quickly and hurried in the direction of the cafeteria counter.
Seeing that I was about to settle the bill, Zhao Haipeng seemed a little reluctant, so he said politely to me: "I'll come! ā
Listening to Lao Zhao's words, I shook my head firmly and said: "Don't fight with me, I said that I want to pay the silver, I have to do it, otherwise how to be the boss, how to lead everyone to fight against Wu Demon Lao." ā
Listening to my words, Lao Zhao smiled, and didn't say anything after all.
Then I took out my bag and said to the waitress girl standing in front of me, "How much?"
In a place like a high-speed service station, everything is expensive and smoking, and the dishes I ordered are really "hard", so I have a certain expectation and tolerance limit for his offer.
But even so, when the waiter told me the price, everyone was shocked!
Because at this moment, the beautiful girl standing beside me suddenly smiled and said, "Three gentlemen, you don't charge for your meals!"
