Chapter 40: Feasting
The morning glow is all over the sky, and on the street of Shuntian, there are few cars and few people.
Cheng Gongnian walked listlessly.
I don't know if it's because of the change in circumstances or psychological pressure, since Xing Shilian joined forces with Xiqia, he often made a lot of trouble at home after drinking, making the whole family unhappy. Cheng Gongnian, who had been tossing all night at Xing Shilian's house, was very tired, and his doubts about Qiu Zikun had not been dispelled, which also made him very bored. He wanted to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs, but the work time had not yet arrived, and there was no point in going too early, and he wanted to go to the "East Asia Morning News" to see if Qiu Zikun was in class, and he was afraid that she would be too careful, and it would be bad if the relationship between the two was too sensitive. Walking, walking, he saw a wonton stall at the corner of the street in front of him, and the tempting fragrance wafted in the wind, making Cheng Gongnian feel really hungry.
This wonton stall is very simple, with a small pot against the wall, a charcoal fire burning underneath, and white pigeon-like wontons are boiled in the boiling soup in the pot; Next to it is a lacquered square table surrounded by four benches.
The boss was a thin old man with a white beard, a white apron tied around his waist, a spoon in his hand stirring back and forth in the pot, and from time to time he shouted: "Wontons...... Ravioli...... Freshly cooked ravioli. ”
Cheng Gongnian sat down at the square table, "Uncle, bring me a bowl of wontons." ”
The boss greeted him with a smile, "Sir, you are my first guest this morning, give you a little thicker, okay?" How about I have a plate of mixed vegetables made by my wife for you? ”
Cheng Gongnian said: "Then dare to be in love, my stomach is growling, you can arrange it." ”
"Okay! That's what you're going to do. I want to eat it for you, and if you want to come often in the future, I will give you a discount. After speaking, after a while, a large celadon bowl of wontons was served, steaming, with some oil flowers floating on it, and a small plate of salted radish, Cheng Gongnian was about to pick up chopsticks to eat wontons, this mouth has not yet opened, a hand on his shoulder, he has not had time to turn back, he heard the person behind him speak first, "Brother Cheng, how can such a good delicacy be enjoyed by one person?" Don't give a copy to the little brother? ”
Cheng Gongnian looked back, and the person who came was a young man in his twenties, with four faces, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a small head, 180 cm tall, with a tough body, a black stand-up collar student uniform, a single-tongue domed student hat in his hand, and a school emblem with red letters on a white background pinned to his left chest: "Xinjing Medical University", "Isn't this Guo Lu?" So early? Why don't you go to school and do something on the street? Come and eat together, sit down. ”
The student, Guo Lu, sat down on the bench on Cheng Gongnian's right, "Boss, bring me a bowl of wontons like Mr. Cheng, and add more chili peppers to the soup." ”
"I said Brother Cheng, you are not at home and sleep with your sister-in-law, why do you come here alone to eat Xiaozao? It's not a day since you played football with us. ”
"Recently, we have a lot of affairs in the Communication Division, so I don't have time, and besides, the offensive level of a few of you is too poor, why haven't you improved at all?"
"Brother, have you heard of it? The new deputy chief police inspector of the police department, he is very skilled, first in Taibaiju to capture Lai Sancang, and then in Zhishan family banquet to show his skills, I heard that he is also the chief inspector of the police academy, I want to drop out of the medical university, to apply for the police academy, do you think it's okay? ”
"You, it's always the mountains that look high, isn't it good to study medicine? Cure the sick and save people, hang the pot to help the world. When it comes to politics, it's best to mix it less. ”
"Lao Cheng, this is not your style, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, how can I, a bloody man, stay out of the matter?"
While the two were arguing, a voice surprised them.
"That's him, it's him who put up a sign on the street last night." A small man in a coarse cloth jacket stood behind Guo Lu and said to four men in black with guns.
Cheng Gongnian was stunned, quickly stood up, put the five yuan on the table, pulled up Guo Lu, and was about to run.
The four of them moved quickly, and when they pressed one by one, they pressed Cheng Guo and the others on the bench again, "Don't move, kid, this big man is also your accomplice, right?" Why are you busy all night, tired and eating wontons, don't you invite the four of you to eat some? Where do you think you're going? Because of you, our action team hasn't slept well for four nights, and when you get to the night, you come out and post everywhere, are you an underground party, so do you need to say? Let's go? Let's go to the action team with the four of you, the 'wontons' there are better than here. ”
Guo Lu didn't want to argue, his eyes glared, "You bloody mouths, Lao Tzu is just a student, I don't have time to listen to you playing foreign movies here." He tried to break free, but he couldn't move.
Cheng Gongnian's skills are not given in vain, "You don't look at it, what am I doing, just you, can you do it?" ”
I saw that he was working his two arms, coming to a "wrestler to bear the mountain", and bringing the arms of the two plainclothes stiff forward, and listening to the two sounds of "quack---quack--- and "quack", the shoulders of the two were dislocated, Cheng Gongnian then stood up, came to a "overlord taming horse", pressed his right leg on a person's waist, and used his left hand to "catch a pheasant" and pinched the back of another person's neck, "Two little thieves, you are still tender!" Get out---" Then, with his hands and feet, he pressed one person to the ground, and pushed the other straight to a "dog gnawing mud", and when the other two people had no time to react, he pulled Guo Lu, ran to the right side of the street, and turned into a small alley.
The two men on the ground, barely standing up, shook their dislocated shoulders and shouted, "Hurry up and chase after you?" It's too painful for us to go to the team to report the news. ”
The two people were stupefied by what happened in this moment, "Okay, don't run---- stop-------" with guns, and also chased into the alley.
Cheng Gongnian and Guo Lu talked while running.
"Why are you in trouble again? What about the plainclothes of those action teams everywhere to catch people and report their merits, are you good, you still go to provoke them, can't you study honestly? ”
"Brother, I won't hide it from you, we have set up a 'Youth Comrades for National Salvation' organization based on the team, specializing in the cause of saving the country and trying to survive, we cannot be indifferent as young people in the face of the occupation of the country and the ravages of the people."
"You're still young, learn your skills first, these are not something that a few of you can change."
"I'm still young? How to learn skills, this school knows that we are brainwashed all day long, most of the people who take the main courses of medicine are Japanese, and they have to learn Japanese every day and write homework in Japanese, this is called slavery education, what kind of school is this? If I hadn't been homeless and had no place to eat or sleep, I would have dropped out of school a long time ago. ”
"You, why are you so careless, it's very interesting to put up a slogan. How's that, it's getting targeted, right? ”
The two often play football together on weekdays, and they don't have the physical strength to say, and they ran through three alleys and threw off the two plainclothes.
The two stood in the alley and saw that no one was chasing them, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Guo Lu said: "Brother, I'm still hungry, what should I do?" ”
Cheng Gongnian said: "This is not easy to do? Look at the alley across the street from Datong Street is the Yanzhao noodle restaurant, the noodles there are delicious, brother invites you to eat noodles. ”
The two walked outside the alley, crossed the street, and entered the Yanzhao noodle restaurant, Chang Shun was still counting the accounts at the counter, Guo Lu's eyes lit up, and he saw the menu behind the counter, "The boss has two big bowls of fried noodles and two side dishes." ”
The two of them found a table next to the window and sat down. Wei Changfeng turned around from another table, "The noodles of the two brothers will be arranged, and you will eat something else?" Today's stewed sauerkraut vermicelli is also good. ”
Cheng Gongnian said: "Then dare to be kind, let's have one, and add another sauce beef." ”
Wei Changfeng looked at Cheng Gongnian's familiar eyes, he immediately remembered that it was this person that Chen Yunxian said, and the sense of vigilance in his heart increased, when he turned around and walked towards the kitchen, he thought, did people remember what they lost here and came to look for it? I have to deal with it well, don't expose this kid Yunxian.
Cheng Gongnian said: "This time, you kid will cook meat well, see that you are really hungry." ”
After a while, Wei Changfeng brought two bowls of noodles, a plate of sauced beef and two side dishes on a tray, "The sauerkraut vermicelli for the two of you will be good immediately, please use it slowly." ”
Guo Lu couldn't wait for a long time, picked up the chopsticks in the chopstick cage, and feasted on it.
Cheng Gongnian said: "You kid doesn't seem to have eaten for a few days, slow down, if you can't eat enough, brother will invite you." ”
Guo Lu didn't answer, he just shook off his cheeks and just cared about eating, just when he looked up to pick up the beef, the things in his mouth hadn't finished swallowing, "Brother, who do you see is that?" Seeing that he spoke so eagerly, he almost choked.
Cheng Gongnian asked, "What's the matter?" Master? ”
"Brother, look at your sister-in-law! There's a guy next to him! Come out of the Sakurakumo Inn. Guo Lu said in a hurry, stretching his neck vigorously. When Cheng Gongnian raised his eyes to look, he saw Qiu Zikun standing in front of the Yingyun Hotel opposite with a bag in his hand, and saw a burly man in a suit get into the rickshaw, but he only saw his back.
Qiu Zikun also looked like he hadn't eaten breakfast and was very tired, and walked towards Yanzhao Noodle Restaurant.
