Chapter 5 Eating and Drinking for Men and Women (2)
The girl pulled the roller shutter open and turned on the light.
The lights are a little dim.
"It's not for sale tonight. The girl said, and then packed up the shop.
"In the afternoon, your order was not delivered, and the customer complained, and then went to the police station. The takeaway platform just called me and said that it would be fined four times the amount of the order, and that it would also close the takeaway online store on our platform. It is estimated that in the next one or two months, you will only be able to sell offline customers. ”
"Hmm. ”
Tang Lu didn't know whether to apologize for his behavior in the afternoon, or whether he should say that it didn't matter at all, so he could only answer vaguely.
The girl stopped talking and began to tidy up the things in the store.
Tang Lu looked at her busy figure and felt that he shouldn't stand by, but then look at the various fryers, refrigerators, beverage barrels, and plastic sealing machines in the store...... Again, he felt that he should not be able to help.
"I have a bit of a headache, it should be the after-effects of the car accident, and I may have to rest sooner. Tang Yi said.
He had already seen that behind the partition in the store, there was a small bed, pillows and quilts were readily available, and a lot of miscellaneous items were piled up, apparently where Yang Wei slept every night.
Housing prices in Xincheng have always been ridiculously high, and renting is not cheap. Therefore, when outsiders come here to open shops, they basically live in their own stores, both for business and residence.
Now Tang Yi just wants to break this girl away as soon as possible so that he can sort out what happened to him.
"Why don't you do it first, and we'll clean up the things in the store tomorrow. Tang Lu said as he walked into the store and sat down on the small bed in the back.
The girl suddenly stopped what she was doing, and looked at Tang Lu with two big bright eyes, her expression was still very calm.
"I ...... I'm a little sleepy. Tang Lu explained, not understanding why the girl reacted like this.
No, could it be a double bed, and this girl usually sleeps with herself in the store?
So what hints did you inadvertently make?
"If you're sleepy, go back to bed early. Tomorrow it's my turn to rest, and you come to change me at 10 o'clock. The girl said quietly, and then added:
"Your brain is really broken? This is my bed. ”
"......" Tang Lu was embarrassed.
The bed in the store is slept by a girl, and I have another home?
This answer surprised Tang Yi a little.
Although the girl in front of her is very good-looking, and she has an extraordinary relationship with Yang Wei. But now Tang Lu just wants to protect his identity as a traverser, but who knows that her suspicions have deepened.
"Of course I know, it's just that my feet hurt a little...... It hurts so much that I can't stand up, so I'll borrow your bed and sit down. I guess I can't walk tonight, why don't you send me back when you're done?"
Tang Lu was very satisfied with the reason he made up temporarily, and felt that he should participate in the birth of the drama spirit.
No way, who told him not to know where Yang Wei's family lives.
The girl didn't speak, poured a large pot of residual oil from the chicken cutlet into the swill bucket, carried it outside the store and set it up, waited for someone to collect it early tomorrow morning, and then came back to silently clean the oil pan of the chicken cutlet.
"She must have agreed, right?" Tang Lu thought to himself.
He calmed down his panic and saw that there was a 32-inch small TV at the foot of the bed, and the remote control was right at the head of the bed, so he turned it on and changed the channel aimlessly.
It's been a long time since I've watched TV.
For the past four years of his college life, television sets have been like things from the last century.
Switched to Xincheng Radio 3, which happened to broadcast local news:
“...... The shooting case that occurred at the Shenglong Huohu Men's Hospital in Xincheng at noon today has been preliminarily investigated. After investigation, the three deceased were Zhang, deputy director of the hospital's urology department, Tang, a man with household registration from other places who came to seek medical treatment, and Tang's son Xiao Tang, who had just graduated from a university in Xincheng. The police said that the case is still in the investigation and evidence collection stage, and it is inconvenient to disclose more information, and the possibility that the three people died in a fight with each other due to a doctor-patient dispute cannot be ruled out. In this regard, this station will continue to follow up and report as soon as possible......"
Tang Yi was petrified in an instant.
The timeline fits perfectly.
At noon today, he and Lao Tang went to the hospital to find Dr. Zhang. At that time, Dr. Zhang also confirmed the time, it was exactly 12:45, and then the three people in the consultation room were shot dead.
After that, he woke up as "Yang Wei" and was chased and cut by the bald leopard brother, probably at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, with only an hour or two in between.
So this is still the world I used to live in, and it is Xincheng where I have just finished four years of college.
From beginning to end, I didn't travel to another time and space at all.
Because this is not a bullshit crossing at all, but the legendary "borrowing the corpse to return the soul".
Yang Wei rode a battery car and crashed into Brother Leopard's Wuling Hongguang, and then died. By chance, he was occupied by the soul of Tang Liu, who had died, so that he could continue to live with Tang Liu's consciousness.
Is there any mistake? It has been so many years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there can still be such a feudal superstition as borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul?
No, to be precise, this should be called "rebirth".
"What are you doing?" the girl's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"What?" Tang was startled, and hurriedly changed the channel with the remote control in his hand, only to find that the girl had been standing beside him at some point.
It came silently, and the expression on his face was still calm.
Based on just one news report, it should be impossible for her to guess that her "Yang Wei" is actually Xiao Tang who died in the news because of a "doctor-patient dispute", right?
After all, Tang Tao is a bit of a thief.
"What are you doing?" the girl asked the same question again, her gaze falling on Tang Lu's right hand on the bed.
Tang Lu followed her gaze, only to realize that he was excited to watch the news just now, and unknowingly, he grabbed one from the clothes stacked on the bed.
It wasn't an ordinary piece of clothing, but a pair of light bottoms.
Lavender, women's.
It's still a little wet, it should be the sweat that comes out of Tang Lu's palm.
"......" Tang Xuan.
He quickly let go, and the whole person jumped out of bed.
The atmosphere was a little awkward at one point.
"Didn't you say that your feet hurt and you can't stand up?" the girl looked at Tang Lu silently, still so calm, neither surprised nor angry.
Tang Yi took a breath quietly, he didn't dare to stay in this chicken chop shop anymore, let alone let this girl send him home.
I can only fight to the death, hoping that the girl in front of me is not as smart as I imagined.
"I had a terrible headache, so I went back first. That one...... Do you remember where my family lives? My mind is a little messy, and I don't seem to remember it clearly. ”
"......" the girl did not answer.
"Then why don't you send me back first, and then come and close the shop?" Tang Lu pretended to rub his temples.
This is the knowledge point imparted by his teacher of the elective course "Applied Psychology": if you want to make the other party do something you don't want to, the best way is to make a request at the same time, and then make a more difficult request, so that the other party can make a choice. As a result, the other person will often skip from a true/false question with only two standard answers, "yes", to a "two-choice" multiple-choice question, where you have to make a choice, so as to agree to your simple request at the beginning.
"Your house is rented in Gongfu New Village, No. 20, Room 603. The girl was really tricked and answered Tang Xuan's question.
Tang Yi suddenly had a sense of accomplishment:
I'm also a bachelor's graduate, and you, a chick who came out to work at the age of sixteen or seventeen, either dropped out of high school or junior high school, and may not even have completed nine years of compulsory education, so you deserve to fight with me?
He didn't dare to stay longer, so he got up and walked out of the store.
"Wait a minute. The girl said suddenly.
"What's the matter?" Tang was puzzled.
"Aren't you afraid that the address I'm telling you is fake?" The voice was still calm, even a little frighteningly calm.
???
Tang Lu turned his head and tried to squeeze out a smile.
"I can't think of any reason why you're lying to me. Tang Lu was still holding on, but he was already prepared for the worst.
The girl suddenly smiled too, revealing two rows of white teeth.
This is the first time Tang Lu has seen her smile, and it is a smile from the heart.
Tang Lu suddenly felt that she looked better when she laughed than when she didn't.
But what followed was a fear from the bottom of my heart.
Quiet night, dim chicken chop shop lights.
This girl is definitely not simple!
"Your keys are still here. The girl said, then gesturing to the cash register next to her.
Tang Lu gritted his teeth, returned to the store, and groped carefully under the cash register.
Sure enough, there was a bunch of keys.
And the girl had already picked up the mop and mopped the floor, turned her back to Tang Lu, and didn't look at him again.
Tang Lu took the key, and happened to see a stack of takeaway leaflets next to the cash register, with the following printed at the end:
Takeaway Hotline: 138-4742-488 (Xiaoshu)
Xiaoshu ......
It turned out that the girl's name was Xiaoshu.
I just don't know what her last name is.
Tang Yi silently recited the name, and then left this "Jianghu Chicken Chop" with palpitations.
