Chapter 49: Dinner
The dwelling of the salyu is ordinary, the same as the living room where most people live;
Zhuang Feng followed Xiaoyu's introduction and greeted the other people who rented with him;
Zhuang Feng has never been accustomed to dealing with strangers, and after that polite greeting, he sat down casually;
"How have you been all these years?" said Xiaoyu when he poured tea, and Zhuang Feng lit his cigarette as usual, and said calmly;
"It's okay;" replied the fish calmly, also habitually lit a cigarette;
As for the other people who rent with them, they all go to play their own games when Zhuang Feng is talking, maybe this society is like this now, they don't like to deal with strangers very much, not only Zhuang Feng is like this, but other people are also like this;
Although Zhuang Feng is still Xiaoyu's friend, his friend's friend is not much worse than a stranger, so Zhuang Feng and Xiaoyu have just talked in the living room, but in fact, Zhuang Feng and Xiaoyu are just two people;
"It's okay;" Zhuang Feng listened to Xiaoyu's answer, and said to himself;
Now this society is like this, everyone says it's okay, but as for what is actually doing, only they know;
It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm tired of life, and I'm not used to telling others about many things;
"It's okay;" Xiaoyu listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and also understood the meaning of Zhuang Feng's words;
"You know, I actually envy your peaceful life, and have been pursuing it, but now, I don't envy it anymore, because I understand the sorrow of being a commoner;" Zhuang Feng seemed to say to himself;
"So you ran out again and fooled around?" Xiaoyu listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and continued as if jokingly;
"No, although I understand, but I can't adapt to it; civilian life has its own pursuits, working every day to earn money, dreaming of making a lot of money, in fact, I don't even live as well as the dog in the Linyuan District, even so, I still pursue and want to live a peaceful life like a civilian;" Zhuang Feng continued to speak, until the cigarette in his hand was burned, he stopped for a moment, and extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand;
Zhuang Feng extinguished the cigarette butt and lit another one, and continued: "You don't think that I am willing to go out and mix again, although I have trampled the life of a civilian to worthless, but it is indeed the life I am pursuing;"
"Then you still want to go out and mix it up?" Xiaoyu obviously felt that Zhuang Feng's words were self-contradictory, and said with some mockery;
"Do you have anyone who is willing to give your life to protect?" Zhuang Feng said with some seriousness;
"Yes;" Shinoyu replied affirmatively, after a moment's thought;
"I have it too;" Zhuang Feng said earnestly;
Zhuang Feng didn't ask who Xiaoyu wanted to protect, and Xiaoyu didn't ask who he wanted to protect, but they both understood what was contained in these words;
"Let's go to dinner, and I'll have to work the evening shift;" Seeing that the time was almost up, Shinoyu said aloud;
"Okay;" Zhuang Feng also decisively ended the topic;
Then Xiaoyu went to greet his friends who lived with him, Zhuang Feng also asked where to eat and so on, and then called Xu Wei and Yang Lin;
Maybe it's to show the importance of Xiaoyu's friends, or maybe they were like this, Xiaoyu they also asked for a private room in the restaurant, and they politely let Zhuang Feng call the shots when ordering, but Zhuang Feng was a little tired of these things, so he directly let Xiaoyu call the shots;
After dinner, Xiaoyu chatted with her friends, but Zhuang Feng was a little bored, after all, so many people sitting here only knew Xiaoyu alone;
At present, Zhuang Feng does not drink, and in this situation where there must be food and wine, people like Zhuang Feng who do not drink are even more marginalized, and can only eat by themselves, watching Xiaoyu chatting with her friends;
Just as Zhuang Feng was eating with some embarrassment, Xu Wei walked in;
Seeing Xu Wei come in, Zhuang Feng was still a little helpless, in Zhuang Feng's opinion, Xu Wei seemed to be really moved, and he was chasing here, but Zhuang Feng didn't say anything, or Zhuang Feng understood that Xu Wei was really moved, and saw Xu Wei chasing after him, ready to introduce him to him, as for the follow-up, it was not Zhuang Feng's business;
When Xu Wei walked to the door of the private room, he thought that Zhuang Feng would come out when he saw him, but he didn't know that Zhuang Feng didn't move at all, hesitated, and walked to Zhuang Feng's side;
"Xiaoyu, let me introduce you, Xu Wei, my brother, and I will also introduce to you, this is Xiaoyu, they are all friends of Xiaoyu;" Zhuang Feng smiled and introduced Xu Wei;
Xu Wei didn't seem to appreciate it, he didn't even say hello, he directly pulled Zhuang Feng to the door of the private room, and said loudly: "We are being targeted, five cars, the number is unknown, and there are weapons;"
Zhuang Feng believed in Xu Wei's ability, and immediately frowned at what Xu Wei said;
Zhuang Feng came to Shaozhou this time but was very low-key, like ordinary people, he came from Jiangzhou and took a popular train, and he didn't even bring weapons; after arriving in Shaozhou, he just rented an obviously dilapidated but cheap nine-handed broken car in an ordinary car rental shop, and got two fruit knives on the stall, which was considered a weapon for self-defense;
It is said that Zhuang Feng's trip is no different from ordinary people, but he didn't expect it to be targeted, and he couldn't help but think that this Shaozhou character really has some ability;
From the time Zhuang Feng returned to Jiangzhou to appear, Zhuang Feng has not yet figured out who is in charge of Shaozhou, a state and province adjacent to Jiangzhou; from the situation that Ao Xiuzhi has mastered, he only knows that Tang Guiyi is nested in Shaozhou, and he also has quite a strong strength in Shaozhou, but the real controller of Shaozhou, this Ao Xiuzhi can't find out, and Zhuang Feng is naturally concerned;
However, now that someone is eyeing him, Zhuang Feng is not sure if it is Tang Guiyi;
Just when Zhuang Feng was thinking about something, Yang Lin also entered the restaurant, walked straight to Zhuang Feng and Xu Wei's side, and said very simply and directly: "Go;"
Although Yang Lin doesn't like to talk very much, and can also be called not good at words, his ability is extremely strong, at least stronger than Xu Wei;
Now that Yang Lin spit out such a word with a cold face, Zhuang Feng suddenly felt that it was a big trouble, although he was not sure whether it was Tang Guiyi, Zhuang Feng still followed Yang Lin away without the slightest hesitation;
"What's wrong?" Xiaoyu looked at Xu Wei's unkind appearance, he was still a little unhappy, and the others were a little unhappy in his heart, but Xiaoyu saw where Zhuang Feng and Xu Wei were talking something, until Yang Lin came over again, Xiaoyu also seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he asked somewhere;
"Bring the Xiaoyu;" Hearing the Xiaoyu's question, Zhuang Feng said without hesitation;
Although I don't know who the other party is, this is obviously a bad person, because the other party is carrying a weapon;
Coming to Zhuang Feng, then the Xiaoyu who has been in contact with Zhuang Feng will naturally get into trouble after he escapes Zhuang Feng; Zhuang Feng understands this, so he naturally has to take Xiaoyu and leave together;
After Zhuang Feng's words were finished, Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, he understood what Zhuang Feng meant, and walked over to Xiaoyu and said, "Come with us;"
Xiaoyu obviously couldn't react to Xu Wei's words, but before he could say anything, he saw Yang Lin turn around and rush into the hall, and immediately overturned the table of diners without any words;
For this sudden change, what Xiaoyu wanted to say was not said again, and at the same time, Xu Wei also directly pulled Xiaoyu away;
When Yang Lin overturned the dining table, several strong men who were still outside the door immediately drew their weapons, although they were only pistols, but they all rushed in with guns;
"Kitchen;" Zhuang Feng watched the change happen, and shouted loudly to the person, and at the same time ran into the kitchen;
While Zhuang Feng roared, Xu Wei also pulled Xiaoyu and ran directly to the kitchen, while Yang Lin also retreated at the same time when he overturned the dining table, listening to Zhuang Feng's roar, and followed into the kitchen;
If you have dinner at this point in time, it is actually a little early, but because they are on the evening shift today, they only came early, so there are not many people in the restaurant at this time, and the role of Yang Lin's overturned table is not very large;
When Yang Lin ran slowly into the kitchen, those strong men with guns had already caught up, and if those people fired, Yang Lin would be dead;
But the men did not shoot, although they had already carried the gun in their hands, but they only chased;
After Zhuang Feng, Xu Wei, Yang Lin and Xiaoyu entered the kitchen, they did not immediately run to the street through the back kitchen, but took cover in the kitchen;
Zhuang Feng, Xu Wei and Yang Lin all understood that the other party came prepared, so most of the people on the street outside the back kitchen were guarded;
Between two fires;
Xu Wei and Yang Lin don't have weapons to deal with those strong men with guns, which is really a bit embarrassing; and Zhuang Feng is already a waste now, and there is no way; as for Xiaoyu, where has he not reacted to it;
In terms of Xiaoyu's experience, it is really an indescribable and complicated experience, but in the face of this scene of a strong man with a gun, it is the first time I have seen it, and my reaction is a little slow for a while;
"Xiaoyu;" Just as Zhuang Feng and the four of them were in a dilemma, someone shouted outside the kitchen door;
With the voice, Zhuang Feng frowned, looking at the Xiaoyu who was still a little stunned;
Seeing that Zhuang Feng was staring at Xiaoyu, Xu Wei also looked at Zhuang Feng, as if he was saying that this matter was related to Xiaoyu;
Zhuang Feng shook his head;
Xu Wei looked at Zhuang Feng and shook his head, and then moved on Xiaoyu's body, and Xiaoyu, who was in pain, also reacted;
The first reaction of the "pain" Xiaoyu is the manifestation of pain;
As the Xiaoyu screamed in pain, Xu Wei withdrew the movement of his hand and turned to look at Zhuang Feng;
"Madman;" Shinoyu finally really reacted when the pain weakened slightly, and he knew what had just happened;
"Nine people are known, all of them are armed, and we are blocked here;" Zhuang Feng said aloud with Xiaoyu's words;
"Said;" is worthy of a girl with a story, although she is afraid when she listens to Zhuang Feng's words, she still can't help but scold a foul word;
Just as the Xiaoyu was cursing somewhere, there was another shout outside, still calling Xiaoyu, and nothing else;
"Your friend has been caught by them;" Zhuang Feng explained as he shouted;
At this time, Zhuang Feng already understood the situation in front of him, and the unknown opponent did not know the specific situation of Zhuang Feng, that is, they were not sure whether Zhuang Feng, Xu Wei, and Yang Lin had weapons;
In terms of the narrow layout of this kitchen, if you rush in rashly, it is purely looking for death, so it is natural to catch the other people who are eating with Zhuang Feng, and then let people shout outside;
It's only the situation of their own family that they know that if the people outside really rush in, Zhuang Feng and none of them can escape, and if Zhuang Feng wants to rush out, it is purely looking for death;
In such a situation, Zhuang Feng couldn't find a solution for a while;
"I used to think you were just a gangster, but you still have such the ability to provoke such a character;" Xiaoyu listened to Zhuang Feng's explanation, but recovered his normal thinking ability, and did not directly answer the shouts outside, but talked to Zhuang Feng;
"I'm just a little gangster, they have to trouble me, okay;" Or someone said that women are always stronger than men at critical moments, and even Zhuang Feng was a little surprised when he watched Xiaoyu return to normal thinking ability;
"Call the police;" Seeing that Zhuang Feng said so helplessly, Xiaoyu made a suggestion;
Zhuang Feng can understand Xiaoyu's suggestion, after all, as an ordinary person, although he also has some experience, many things still have limitations;
For example, in the current situation, even if it is to call the police, it is useless; since people outside dare to show up with guns in a public place like this restaurant, there is naturally strength behind it;
At that time, even if it falls into the Metropolitan Police Department, it will only be Zhuang Feng's share;
"Do you have a phone?" Zhuang Feng did not directly explain that it was useless to call the police, but just asked rhetorically somewhere;
"No, it fell on the table;" With Zhuang Feng's rhetorical question, Xiaoyu really went to get the phone on his body, but he didn't find it, and then he remembered that everyone was eating and playing with the phone while eating just now, which was naturally placed on the table, and when it just changed and steepened, he couldn't take care of those;
"Then there is no way;" Zhuang Feng looked at the somewhat helpless appearance of the Xiaoyu and said there;
"Your phone too?" Xiaoyu looked at Zhuang Feng and remembered that Zhuang Feng should have a phone on his body;
"It's on the table;" Zhuang Feng replied casually;
"What about you?" Listening to Zhuang Feng's answer, Xiaoyu thought about it, and still asked Xu Wei, who was squatting beside her;
"I don't need a phone;" Xu Wei also replied casually, although Xu Wei tugged at the heartstrings of Xiaoyu, but in the current situation, Xu Wei didn't have that mind at all;
"Ah;" Listening to Xu Wei's casual answer, Xiaoyu was really a little surprised, there are still people who don't use a phone, this is too rare;
"Okay, I have a phone, it's on my body, I have electricity, a signal, and a flow, but I don't call the police;" Xu Wei looked at Xiaoyu as if he were looking at a rare animal, and said a little more to him;
"Are you the brother of a madman?" Xiaoyu didn't ask Xu Wei why he didn't call the police, because Xiaoyu is such a person, if you refuse or speak straightforwardly, then she won't be stalking anymore, and she doesn't have the behavior of ordinary girls at all;
"Yes;" Xu Wei replied to Xiaoyu simply and clearly;
"Then he is too, right?" Xiaoyu looked at Yang Lin, who was guarding at the back door, and asked out loud;
"Yes;" Xu Wei was still as simple and straightforward;
"Xiaoyu, are you willing to go back to Jiangzhou with me now?" Zhuang Feng looked at Xiaoyu and had nothing to say there, and naturally understood that this was caused by nervousness, after all, Xiaoyu had never experienced such a scene, and Xiaoyu was not a person of many words, so he talked to Xiaoyu to relieve the tension;
"I don't want to go back;" Xiaoyu listened to Zhuang Feng's question, but still refused;
"I can't help you now;" Zhuang Feng said with a smile, as if he were a scoundrel;
"Your sister;" Xiaoyu looked at Zhuang Feng's rogue words, and couldn't help but say a foul word;
In Xiaoyu's memory, Zhuang Feng has always been silent, who has ever seen Zhuang Feng's appearance, and he was suddenly a little speechless;
"Xiaoyu, respond;" Zhuang Feng looked at the speechless Xiaoyu and said there;
"How do you respond?" Xiaoyu didn't quite understand what Zhuang Feng said;
When Zhuang Feng and Xiaoyu were idle, the shouting outside did not stop, but Zhuang Feng heard that the sound of shouting outside was made by different people, and it was only at this time that Zhuang Feng was sure that many of Xiaoyu's friends were still alive through the shouting voice;
Thinking that the other party also had such intentions, through where all the friends of Xiaoyu shouted, Zhuang Feng believed that they did not kill innocents indiscriminately;
"Say;" Zhuang Feng ignored the question of the Xiaoyu, but roared somewhere;
"We don't intend to hurt anyone, but the contemptible lord asks Zhuang Da Shao for a while;" With Zhuang Feng's voice, there were also replies from different voices outside;
"Zhuang Dashao?" Xiaoyu listened to the voice coming from outside, and asked a little incomprehensibly;
"No, it's just down;" Zhuang Feng replied with some jokingness;
For Zhuang Feng's answer, Xiaoyu was still quite surprised;
Although the name of this young master now has another meaning in the civilian world, that is, a male prostitute or a seller of chrysanthemums, but Xiaoyu still knows that in the so-called upper circle, there is still such a title;
Judging from what Xiaoyu understands now, Zhuang Feng will definitely not be the one who sells chrysanthemums; the gang of fierce and evil people outside call Zhuang Feng Zhuang Dashao quite politely, so Zhuang Feng should be the so-called people in the upper circle;
Since meeting Zhuang Feng, Xiaoyu has always thought that Zhuang Feng is just a gangster who has been mixed up in the rivers and lakes, and Zhuang Feng also said so, who would have thought that the taciturn Zhuang Feng in his memory is still a person in the upper circle;
This was somewhat unexpected;
"Don't look at me like that, I'll get hairy;" Zhuang Feng looked at the surprised appearance of the Xiaoyu, and said a little more joking there;
The fish didn't react much, and didn't show much of it other than a little surprise that was expected;
"That's how you invited guests?" Zhuang Feng looked at Xiaoyu and didn't react more, and then followed the words of the outsider and yelled there;
"We're just subordinates, and we invite Zhuang Da Shao Haihan;" The people outside didn't care that Zhuang Feng was silent for a long time, and said quite respectfully;
"This seat is small;" Zhuang Feng roared mockingly;
For Zhuang Feng's ridicule, Xu Wei smiled knowingly;
Zhuang Feng is sometimes like this, obviously in a disadvantageous position, but he still talks nonsense there;
Not only did Xu Wei smile somewhere, but even Yang Lin grinned obviously, Xiaoyu also smiled somewhere, this Zhuang Feng was completely different from the Zhuang Feng she knew, that Zhuang Feng was expressionless all day long, and there was no superfluous words to say, and the Zhuang Feng in front of him was quite interesting;
The people outside also seemed to be choked by Zhuang Feng's words, and did not reply in time;
After a long while, another voice sounded: "Zhuang Shao said and laughed;"
"I'm not laughing;" Zhuang Feng replied very seriously;
"I also asked Zhuang to see him rarely to show his sincerity;" This person is obviously much higher than the person who shouted just now, at least he will not be choked by Zhuang Feng and have nothing to say;
"Yes;" Zhuang Feng guessed that this person should be the leader of this operation, and responded cheerfully;
As soon as Zhuang Feng's words fell, there was a knock on the originally closed kitchen door;
If it weren't in a place like the kitchen but in a certain hotel, judging by the sound of the knock on the door, it would at least be a five-star service standard, plus a service honorific, which would make Zhuang Feng think that he was living in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel;
The knocking sound at the door was not light or heavy, and it was obviously full of rhythm, which may not be known to ordinary people, but Zhuang Feng knew that the knocking sound of the real five-star top hotel was actually a musical note, from the opening stanza of the famous Seventeenth Symphony;
It is extremely difficult to grasp the rhythm of the music knocked on the door, at least as far as Zhuang Feng knows, no one in most of the five-star hotels in Jinguo can do it, or Zhuang Feng has only heard of it in two five-star hotels, and those two hotels are naturally well-known hotels in the world;
Zhuang Feng listened to the sound of the knock on the door, and naturally judged that the identity of the person was not low; although judging from the sound of the knock, this person was only a character who was called, and no one who was the master would learn this thing;
"Please come in;" Zhuang Feng heard the knock on the door, thought for a moment, and said loudly, and at the same time whispered to the other there: "There are really people who are not afraid of death;"
Yes, the person who came was really not afraid of death, and if a person dared to run into the kitchen, he was not afraid of being slaughtered by Zhuang Feng;
With Zhuang Feng's words, Xu Wei naturally stood up and moved his position; as long as there was a slight mistake with the person coming, Xu Wei's position would be able to solve the other party and close the door again;
"Zhuang Shao;" The person who came into the door looked at Zhuang Feng, who was squatting on the ground with half a cigarette in his mouth, and said respectfully;
The person who came in looked like he was in his fifties, and judging from his clothes, he obviously looked like a rich and noble family, but the habitual smile on his face let Zhuang Feng know that this was a character who had been accustomed to serving others for a long time, that is, those elders and stewards in the family;
However, in Zhuang Feng's memory, there is no information about the person in front of him, and he can't guess which family it is;
"Please be seated;" Although Zhuang Feng saw the identity of the person who came, he habitually said;
"Happy young master asked the old servant to bring Zhuang Shao well;" the person who came habitually laughed and said out loud;
