Longcheng Fengyun

Fei Jue sneezed five or six times as soon as he got off the plane, his ribs were sore, and his head was a little dizzy. He massaged his temples and looked out. It was raining in Daocheng, and the sky was dark and yellow. It was hard to tell whether it was morning or dusk.He happened to be standing under the air outlet of the air conditioner at this moment, and a gust of cool wind penetrated into his neck, and Fei Jue suddenly sucked back the snot in his nose.

"Wipe your nose." Luo Zhengnan trotted up from behind Fei Jue and stuffed him with a pack of tissues.

Fei Jue didn't unpack the package, grabbed the paper towel, wrapped his coat tightly and walked towards the exit.He didn't bring any luggage, and Luo Zhengnan only had a big bag with him, and the biscuit tin used as the urn was placed in this big bag.The two walked through the crowds queuing to claim their luggage, followed the signs to find the airport service desk, and bought two bus tickets to Yuzhou.

Half an hour before the departure, Luo Zhengnan and Fei Jue said, "Let's eat something."

Fei Jue handed him a ticket and walked towards the nearby convenience store.Luo Zhengnan followed him, Fei Jue went in and bought a can of iced coffee, paid the money and found a seat outside, wrapped the coffee in his hand, and didn't open it.The seats on the left and right of him were quickly occupied by others. Luo Zhengnan had no place to sit when he came out with a big bag of food, so he stood and talked to Fei Jue: "Eat some hot food to warm your stomach."

Fei Jue opened the can, took a sip of coffee, and looked behind Luo Zhengnan. The airport was full of pick-up and drop-off people, as if everyone had endless conversations and endless hugs.Luo Zhengnan put a hot bun and a tea egg on Fei Jue's lap.He sipped the straw and drank the soy milk.

Fei Jue looked at his watch, stood up suddenly, and made a gesture of smoking.Luo Zhengnan called him, but Fei Jue ignored him and walked out without looking back. He heard the footsteps behind him, lowered his head and walked faster.Outside the airport, Fei Jue lit a cigarette, took a coffee can in one hand, and held the cigarette in the other, took a puff, and flicked ash into the can.

"Have you finished your coffee?" Luo Zhengnan's voice came out again, Fei Jue glanced at him, then looked down at his feet.He couldn't see his own shadow, but he could see a pair of black leather shoes on Luo Zhengnan's feet.

"Hmm..." Luo Zhengnan stretched out his hand to Fei Jue, and he peeled a tea egg for him.

Fei Jue looked at the tea egg with brown sauce stains on the white, and asked, "Did you tell Sister Hua about your suspension?"

"you eat."

Fei Jue turned his head to smoke, Luo Zhengnan no longer insisted, ate the tea egg by himself, and started to eat the meat buns after eating.

"Do you want me to speak for you?"

"No, I'll talk to her later."

"What are your plans for staying in China? Start a company? Work part-time? Find yourself?"

The rain just fell like this, not too big or too small, and there was no bright color in the sky. I don't know when it will completely dissipate the dark clouds covering the sky.

"Will you go to America with me? If I give you a plane ticket, you have this chance, this possibility." Luo Zhengnan asked.

Fei Jue laughed, threw the cigarette into the coffee can, and turned to look at Luo Zhengnan: "What am I doing in America? I don't understand English, and I'm not used to French fries and burgers. I don't have any friends. Do you want to stay home and watch TV?"

Luo Zhengnan was drinking soy milk with his head down. He threw the trash into the trash can beside him and said, "I know, so I won't go back either. I plan to stay in Longcheng."

He stood sideways by the trash can, drank the soy milk, and threw the paper cup into it. He didn't look at Feijue, his eyes were downcast, and he said, "You can continue to live the life you are used to, young and Dangerous , Underworld, I will cover you."

Fei Jue scolded with a smile: "What age is it now, the throne will be passed on to the son after the father dies? Even if you want to inherit it, before those old immortals jump out, Sister Hua will be the first to object."

"I'll take care of it with my mother, don't worry."

Fei Jue shook his head and walked away: "What do you want me to do with peace of mind? It's none of my business. You can mess around if you want. If you die on the street, it's your mother who is sad."

"how about you?"

"What about me?" Fei Jue stared at Luo Zhengnan, he could see his facial features very clearly, and he could also see his eyes very clearly.There was nothing but darkness in Luo Zhengnan's eyes, and he said, "My father is the only child like me."

Fei Jue frowned: "You'd better make one thing clear. You are you, and your father is your father. If someone is sad when he dies, it doesn't mean that you are dead, and that person will be sad too."

Luo Zhengnan's black eyes lit up, and there was even a smug expression on his lips: "You said it, I am me, my father is my father, you make the distinction so clearly, so don't confuse them anymore .”

Fei Jue was startled, pushed Luo Zhengnan away, grabbed the bus ticket and went straight to the bus platform, jumped on the bus going to Yuzhou, found a seat by the window, sat down, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He couldn't sleep, he just dozed off. Someone sat down next to him, and the smell from that person wafted over him. He could already smell the smell of Luo Zhengnan's favorite shampoo.He is already familiar with this smell, and he has it himself.Luo Zhengnan threw away all his old things. He could only use the soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, aftershave, towel, tableware, cups, clothes, and shoes he provided.As soon as Fei Jue sniffed, the smell became stronger and stronger. Fei Jue suddenly felt itchy all over his body and felt nauseous. He suppressed it and continued to pretend to be asleep.

There was a traffic jam on the road, the bus stopped and stopped, Fei Jue felt even more uncomfortable, the rain was no longer spreading to the world as thin as a cow's hair, but the rain was getting heavier, and the sound of the raindrops hitting the window glass became more and more dense and noisy. De Feijue couldn't sleep.After staying up for three and a half hours, when the bus arrived at Yuzhou Station, Fei Jue rushed down and vomited on the side of the road.

Luo Zhengnan opened an umbrella for him and handed him water.Fei Jue scratched his throat and scolded: "Are you a pervert? You are a fucking pervert! You are disgusting, fuck you, don't come near me!"

Luo Zhengnan wanted to pull him up, but Fei Jue opened it.

"Don't touch me."

"Let's go, it's raining heavily, let's go to the hotel first."

"You fucking don't touch me!" Fei Jue jumped up, stopped a taxi and ran away.

"Please go to Zhoushan Temple!"

Fei Jue looked in the rearview mirror, and Luo Zhengnan also got into a taxi, and that car changed lanes and followed them directly.

"Please hurry up!!" Fei Jue took out all the money on his body, bit his nails and cursed, "Fuck your mother, you're still haunted!"

The driver didn't say a word, and drove honestly. After getting on the elevated highway, he responded to Fei Jue's request and drove the car very fast. Fei Jue looked behind the car from time to time, and the car that Luo Zhengnan called was biting tightly, really like a ghost , Sometimes one intersection is thrown away, and another intersection is chased by him again.Fei Jue was gasping for breath and kept asking the driver to speed up. The driver looked at him and sighed, "It seems that you are avoiding debts, and I want to help, but getting caught for speeding is not a trivial matter. If you owe someone money, be honest. It's still on."

"Who said I owe money!"

"Oh, if you owe a love debt, you should pay it back more honestly."

"Stop! Don't look for it!"

Fei Jue threw down a handful of banknotes and jumped down before the taxi stopped on the side of the road. He looked up and saw that Zhoushan Temple was not far away. He ran to the ticket office in the rain, bought a ticket and went to rushed up the mountain.

The incense in Zhoushan Temple was not strong, and the gates were deserted. The temple was built on the top of the mountain, and there were [-] steps up the mountain. Fei Jue climbed halfway up the mountain, hiding under the shade of a tree beside the road, and looked down the mountain.He saw a blue-clothed figure walking up the mountain with a bag on his shoulders, one step after another, without letting up for a moment, without stopping.Fei Jue's soles felt weak, and he sat on a rock. After a while, he remembered to wipe his sweat and the rain off his face.

Luo Zhengnan just climbed up the steps step by step and came to him.He and Fei Jue looked at each other, took out the umbrella from the satchel, opened it, and covered Fei Jue under the umbrella.

The umbrella was black, and Luo Zhengnan's top was originally light blue, but because of the rain, the shoulder line became dark blue.His neck and face were very white, which made his eyes darker, almost darker than the umbrella.

Fei Jue raised his hand to wipe his face again.

"You..." Luo Zhengnan breathed a sigh of relief, pointing to the top of the mountain, "Been here?"

Fei Jue said: "Your father gave your grandparents a memorial tablet here, and every winter solstice, he will perform ritual rituals, and he will come here during Qingming."

"You came here with him?"

Fei Jue stood up again.

"Let's go," he said.

"Drink some water." Luo Zhengnan tapped the back of his hand with the mineral water bottle.

Fei Jue took it and poured half a bottle with his head up. When he reached the top of the mountain, he found two monks in the temple and set up a memorial tablet for Mo Ming.Afterwards, he bought two large boxes of tinfoil, a pack of candles, and a pack of incense sticks from the incense shop, and went down the mountain with Luo Zhengnan.The two of them carried these things to the cemetery. The cemetery was remote, and Luo Zhengnan overpaid the driver 500 yuan to trouble him to wait on the side of the road.Fei Jue also said: "We're not going to worship, we're just going to see the progress, and we'll be out soon."

The driver seemed to be jealous, and the two talked about it, and he agreed when the price was increased to [-].

The director of the cemetery was having lunch. Hearing about Fei Jue's visit, he took him to a small yard behind the office. A temporary awning was set up in the yard, and the stone monuments were piled up under it, some of which had not yet been engraved. , and some are being colored.The supervisor searched for a long time to find Mo Ming's tombstone, pointed to the inscription on it and said, "It's engraved according to what you said on the phone, isn't it?"

Fei Jue read softly: "The tomb of the loving father Mo Ming, the beloved son Mo Zhengnan stands..."

He shook hands with the supervisor, gave away two packs of cigarettes, and said with a smile, "That's right." He pointed at Luo Zhengnan, "This is Mo Ming's son, Anan."

"Oh, hello, hello." The supervisor shook hands with Luo Zhengnan.

"Then you are..." The supervisor looked at Fei Jue, "If his brother wants to add a name on the monument, there is still time, look here, here, you can add..."

The tombstones he picked out were all erected by multiple people, including the eldest brother and mother, the youngest brother and parents, the beloved son and daughter, and the beloved wife and son.

Fei Jue looked around and said with a smile, "I'm his subordinate. I usually help with chores, not my family."

"Okay then, I'll give you the invoice." The supervisor led them back to the office. He gave Fei Jue an invoice and repeatedly told him: "It's seven o'clock tomorrow morning. It's unlucky to be late."

"Okay, thank you very much, thank you, thank you." Fei Jue laughed all the way, and after leaving the cemetery, he and Luo Zhengnan went to the hotel.

The hotel is not far from the cemetery, about 10 minutes by car. The environment is quiet and the decoration is modern. The female receptionist who helped them board the plane saw that Fei Jue was very enthusiastic.

"The rooms are on the 25th floor, 2506 and 2507. Mr. Fei didn't come with Boss Mo this time?"

"The boss is on a business trip, and brought his son back to visit relatives." Fei Jue smiled wryly, "The assistant is acting like a nanny, and I'm probably the only one."

The front desk gave Fei Jue a set of meal coupons and spa coupons: "Then treat yourself."

Fei Jue blinked at her, and called Luo Zhengnan to take the elevator.

"You've been living here?" Luo Zhengnan asked.

Fei Jue responded.

"Two rooms too?"

Fei Jue said, "I can't afford a suite if the boss isn't here."

Luo Zhengnan said again: "Otherwise, let's go eat something first, you didn't eat anything this morning."

The two were talking when Fei Jue's cell phone rang. Master Jiu called. Fei Jue frowned when he saw the caller ID, and answered the phone after getting out of the elevator. He was already smiling.

"Master Jiu, I haven't heard your voice for a long time, are you okay?"

Master Jiu also greeted him politely, saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm just worried about your situation, Brother Six left suddenly, I'm afraid you have a lot of difficult things to deal with."

Fei Jue laughed, walked to the door of his room, made a gesture with Luo Zhengnan, opened the door with his key card and entered the room: "I am afraid of trouble, so I will leave it to Lawyer Jiang, and the prince will also come back Well, Mingye's matter is justified after he and Lawyer Jiang discuss it, so I won't interfere. I've been useless for seven years. In the past, Mingye looked up to me and stayed by his side to do things for him. Now Master Ming is gone, I am useless, I should go back to my hometown."

"The last time Boss Qin said that when he met you in Hongxiang, you said you were going back to your hometown. I still didn't believe it. It turned out to be true."

"Then why is it false?"

"But it's okay, you have cultivated a red shrimp for Xinglian, I think he is good, it is a good material, and it has been very active recently."

Fei Jue rolled his eyes, and sat down on the chair: "It's rare that the ninth master appreciates the younger generation. I will find Hong Xia to pay a visit to you another day? He followed me because I dragged him down. If I can pay homage to the ninth master, I will be fine." concerned."

"Hahaha, I am indeed in need of people, but I have never been interested in robbery. I am getting old, and fighting and killing is really not suitable for me. If I want to rob gold, I have to find a gold factory to cooperate. The rumors outside are so tight, what? Eight major cases, seven major cases, I have heart disease, you don't know."

Fei Jue listened, and echoed, "I know, I know, and I'm not to blame. I made a bet with Red Shrimp that the lunatic in the Eighth Case robbed me for fun. He wouldn't let the gold bars go out. He insisted on betting against me." This person is trying to make money, and I am really sorry for disturbing Lord Jiu, and I will apologize to you when I come back from Yuzhou."

"Hey, don't put it so harshly. Sixth Brother will be buried tomorrow, right?" Jiu Ye sighed, "Oh, I think of Sixth Brother... Fei Jue, burn a stick of incense for me tomorrow."

"It must be, you have a heart."

The two chatted for a few more words before Master Jiu hung up the phone. Fei Jue immediately called Red Shrimp and asked, "I've arrived in Yuzhou. Is Coleboy's business done?"

Hong Xia said: "It's done, everything went well, and I got the account book from Lawyer Jiang."

Fei Jue stood up, took out the two boxes of tinfoil that he had bought earlier, and said, "Before Dr. Kang's birthday party, I just want you to pay attention to two things. Don't worry about it, do you understand?"

Red Shrimp hesitated a little before replying: "Understood."

Fei Juefu asked again: "Do you understand?"

This time, Red Shrimp replied quickly: "Understood."

After talking with Fei Jue, Hong Xia's cell phone never stopped, it kept vibrating in his hand, all the numbers could not be displayed, and he even received an anonymous encrypted text message.The ciphertext is translated as: Urgent call, Fang.

Red Shrimp was in a noodle shop. He turned his mobile phone to silent, dropped it on the table, picked up a chopstick of noodles, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them until his bones started to ache. He dropped the chopsticks and ran away. out of the noodle shop.

It was raining outside, and Hong Xia called Fang Xinglan back from hiding under the eaves of the pastry shop next to the noodle shop.

"Say." He asked concisely.Fang Xinglan scolded all over his head and face: "Why don't you answer the phone? I will call you unless it is absolutely necessary? Do you think I have no common sense? Where are you now? Talk!"

Red Shrimp said: "Have lunch, talk about things."

Red Shrimp bought two wife cakes from a pastry shop, and squatted on the side of the road to bite.

"Eight big cases..." Fang Xinglan mentioned this, and the red shrimp spat out. The wife cake in his mouth was tasteless. He lit a cigarette and said, "I went to a few factories this morning. I don't know who I alarmed. Just now Fei Jue called and told me plainly that I should not interfere."

Fang Xinglan said: "I know you have your difficulties."

There seems to be a poor signal from him, and there are rustling noises.Red Shrimp lowered his head and smoked: "I can't help."

Fang Xinglan let out a heavy sigh, and his voice became clear again, he said: "The police station received a crime notice 10 minutes ago, damn it, when I was filming a movie, the lunatic from the eight major cases said that three days later the Regent Hotel charity auction, he will be there."

"There will be a sapphire necklace at the auction, worth 5000 million, and that's his goal."

Red Shrimp said, "Crazy."

"That's right!" Fang Xinglan raised his voice, "He's crazy! Damn it!"

Red Shrimp said: "There are so many lunatics in the world, one more is not too many, and one less is not too many."

Fang Xinglan paused, and said solemnly: "Lin Hongsheng, don't forget that you are still a policeman. What are your responsibilities and obligations? You have been in the underworld for a long time and you have forgotten all of them? It's not right to let you take the wind. Tell you to die!"

Red Shrimp shrugged: "How do you know I won't die?"

Fang Xinglan scolded: "If it wasn't for Sir Zhong to protect you back then, you killed someone, and now you can still enjoy yourself outside? You would have been out of jail long ago! Your life is Sir Zhong, and you were rescued by the police station!"

Red Shrimp laughed at this. He stood up, kicked away the leftover wife's cake, smiled less, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and swears: "Fuck your mother! I killed the cops, and everyone who entered the cell will also Xing Pengyue's treatment! Fuck!"

After the cursing, Red Shrimp was refreshed, his eyes swept away, and he went with the pastry shop guy who was handing out promotional leaflets at the door.The young man blinked, looked around with his neck hooked, his eyes returned to Hong Xia, and he smiled for no reason.

Red Shrimp also laughed, and winked at him: "It's funny, isn't it?"

The guy was dazed, becoming more and more dazed, Hong Xia was still asking him, and walked towards him: "I said, you think it's funny?"

Clutching the leaflet in his hand, the clerk whispered awkwardly, "Buy six wife cakes, get one free, sir, would you like to see..."

As soon as Red Shrimp grabbed his collar, he threw the young man to the ground. The leaflets in the young man's hands flew all over the sky. slap in the face.

"what are you doing??"

"This gentleman! This gentleman!!"

A group of people ran out of the bakery in panic.Someone stepped forward and pulled Hong Xia. With great strength, Hong Xia pushed away the persuasive person, rolled up his sleeves, put his knee on the young man's neck and slapped him.

"The store manager...has tattoos...is it a gangster?"

"Call the police... Hurry up and call the police!!"

The young man's mouth was twitched, as if a smile had been permanently frozen on his face, and that smile was mixed with blood, snot and tears.

"What are you still doing in a daze! Call the police!!"

More and more people called the police, and more and more passers-by were watching. Those who were brave came up to pull him, but they couldn't pull him. He got up from the ground as if waking up, his awe-inspiring eyes flashed, wiped the rain off his face, knocked away a group of people, and fled the scene in a hurry.He stumbled back to the car, drove the car to the outskirts of Longcheng, made two rounds on the mountain road before heading back towards downtown Longcheng.While waiting for the red light, Hong Xia tried to light a cigarette, but his hands were shaking all the time, and he had to hold the lighter with both hands to wipe the flame.

Red Shrimp moved the smoke to his mouth tremblingly.

He punched the steering wheel.

"Tick!!"

The piercing sound of the whistle caused the driver in the next lane to curse: "Fuck! What a fart!"

Red Shrimp gripped the steering wheel and drove to Yangcheng Street.On the way, he detoured to the Red Star pastry shop to buy a box of char siew crisps and two cups of silk stocking milk tea, and drove to a small processing factory on Yangcheng Street. The milk tea was no longer hot, and he drank it lukewarm.Red shrimp went to the workshop with milk tea and char siew crisps to find Ni Qiu out.

Ni Qiu was wearing a one-piece overalls, a mask and gloves. He tied up his bangs on his forehead, and his exposed forehead was covered with sweat. Seeing the red shrimp, Ni Qiu took off one side of the mask, not without surprise: "Brother Wang said you were looking for me? Why are you here?"

Red Shrimp smiled: "Oh, just passing by here, I remembered that you have a part-time job nearby, come and have a look, bought milk tea and char siew pastry, afternoon tea together?"

"It's so hot here." Ni Qiu fanned the wind with a peaked cap, and a steady stream of hot air gushed out from the factory. Red Shrimp took a look, followed Ni Qiu, and asked, "You seem to be busy?"

Probably because of the sweltering heat, Ni Qiu's face was blushing, which made the bloodstain on the bridge of his nose less obvious. It didn't look like a scar, but like an innate birthmark.

"Let's go there." Ni Qiu said, leading Red Shrimp to the iron fence behind the factory, and said, "Fortunately... there was no business for a while before, but suddenly a big business came yesterday."

"Big business?" Red Shrimp looked in the direction of the factory and handed Ni Qiu a cup of milk tea.

"Someone bought a batch of old computer chips from abroad and brought them here to purify them." Ni Qiu blew into the cup, and when he saw the box of char siew crisps, his eyes rolled with laughter: "Red Star's char siu crisps!! Fei Jue My favorite food!"

Red Shrimp held the plastic box containing the char siu crisps in his hands, and said, "Oh, you've been busy with this recently."

"Yeah, what's the matter? Are you interested in taking a stake in Brother Wang? Are you here to investigate the market?" Ni Qiu put down the paper cup, held a char siew pastry in the palm of his hand, "Bribe me with these? But it's useless to bribe me Ah, I can't even speak..."

Hong Xia smiled: "Don't tell Brother Jue, he always said that I have poor investment vision."

Ni Qiu pursed his lips, raised his palm to his mouth, took a small bite of the char siu crisp, and immediately closed his fingers around the puff pastry crumbs that fell from his mouth, and pushed it into his mouth with his fingertips, without wasting a single bit.

The red prawns were not as elegant as he ate. He took half a bite, looked at the steaming char siu stuffing wrapped in the puff pastry, and said, "I still remember the first time I met Brother Jue, at the South Wharf, he was I was eating Red Star’s char siew pastry, I got into a fight with someone, and knocked half of the char siu pastry in his hand to the ground, his face turned green with anger,” Hong Xia smiled, still recounting his memories, “It’s even worse than he was back then. The green hair on his head is even greener." Red Shrimp turned around, hugged the spikes of the fence, and looked into the distance, "He called for someone to pull us away, and asked me why I was fighting, so I told him honestly, that person was I spit everywhere at the stall and don't pay attention to hygiene."

Ni Qiu didn't make a sound, but Hong Xia continued: "He couldn't stop laughing, and told me to stop selling fruit and follow him as a picket team. He also hates people spitting everywhere."

Ni Qiu laughed softly: "It's like his style."

Red Shrimp picked up the paper cup and drank milk tea: "Later, he collected ten mouthfuls of thick phlegm and poured it on the ground, so that the person who spitted it lay down on the ground and licked it up." He looked up at Ni Qiu and apologized, "I'm sorry , shouldn’t be talking about this while eating.”

Ni Qiu looked gentle, and said in a leisurely voice, "It's also his style."

Red Shrimp shook the paper cup, and suddenly asked: "Actually, you and Brother Jue grew up together, and you know each other very well, right? Do you know why he keeps dyeing his hair in messy colors? I've always been curious, and also Never dared to ask."

Ni Qiu swallowed the food in his mouth, made sure that the crumbs on the corners of his mouth were also cleaned up, and said, "You can ask him next time."

Red Shrimp shook his fingers and smiled strangely: "Ah, you are usually quiet and dig a trap for me. I asked him, lest he dye me into a Smurf directly!"

Ni Qiu said, "No way."

Hong Xia lifted his pants, slapped his butt, and said, "Let's go, eat slowly."

"Are you leaving now? I can't eat it either... Do you mind if I share it with everyone?"

"Bring it for you to eat, it's up to you to deal with it."

After the red prawns left, Ni Qiu shared the rest of the char siew puff pastry. The puff pastry lingered for a long time. He could still smell the buttery aroma on his fingers while sitting on the bus after get off work.He sniffed hard, put his fingers under his nose, and the more he smelled, the happier he became. When he arrived at the bus stop near Perfume Street, Ni Qiu was still reluctant to let go, sniffed again, rubbed his fingers and walked towards Maoji.

Before the gate of Maoji was opened, Ni Qiu knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he went around to the back door. When he was touching the key to unlock the back door, a woman shouted from behind.

"Hey!" The woman's voice was hoarse, Ni Qiu trembled like an electric shock, and hurriedly turned around to greet the woman: "Mom."

The woman pushed his head, put her hand into his trouser pocket and dug up the sky. She dug out two banknotes and complained that she slapped Ni Qiu in the face with the banknotes: "Why is it so small? It's one less than last time." One hundred? What about the one hundred, where did it go?"

Ni Qiu lowered his head, and with the figure of a woman covering him, he couldn't see much light. He said, "An old senior in the factory is retiring. Everyone pooled money to give him a gift, and then treated him to a meal. One hundred dollars per person." .”

He spoke softer and softer, and when he said "one hundred", he couldn't even hear it clearly. There were slaps in his ears, and the woman slapped him twice: "What's your business? You said ,none of your business!"

She straightened Ni Qiu's face, grabbed his hair and pushed him: "None of your business!! Stop meddling in my own business in the future! Do you know! Let me ask you! Do you know!!"

Ni Qiu nodded quickly, his ears were ringing, it took him a long time to hear the woman asking him something, and then he spoke: "I know, I know, I know..."

The woman threw him away, spat at the place where he was standing, counted the two banknotes, and walked away.

Ni Qiu supported the wall and stood up. He rubbed his cheeks, picked up the key that fell on the ground, and went back to open the door.

"Hey."

Someone called him from behind him again, this voice was very strange, it was a man.Ni Qiu turned around, and from the angle of the backlight, he saw a man in a hood walking towards him, waving at him: "Zhier, are you selling it now?"

Ni Qiu said: "The store hasn't opened yet...the boss hasn't come yet, but if you're hungry..."

He coughed, the man approached, Ni Qiu saw his face under the hat, his skin was very dark, his facial features were heroic, and his eyes were cold.The man looked at him from head to toe with those cold eyes without any scruples.

"Ha!" The man snapped his fingers, his brows brimming with joy, took a deep breath, leaned closer to Ni Qiu and said, "That's right! Haha! It's the smell of Shuangfei!"

Ni Qiu was puzzled, the man clicked his tongue, and pulled his collar: "On you..."

Ni Qiu was even more confused, he could only smell the aroma of butter in his hands and the sweet aroma of barbecued pork sauce.The man snorted and made fun of him: "It's so obvious that you can't smell it? Is your nose okay?"

He pointed to Ni Qiu's nose, and his tone became more contemptuous: "That was your wife just now?"

"Ah? No, she, she is me..." Ni Qiu stuttered anxiously, "It's my mother..."

"Oh, I don't think it's your wife, she's so old, the skin on her face is hanging off, like an old witch."

Ni Qiu pushed open Maoji's back door: "You want a fried rice, don't you? Do you want to take it away?"

The man followed him directly into the kitchen, closed the door behind his back, looked around, and said, "Your mother can beat you like this?"

Ni Qiu took an apron from the wall and put it on, and he combed his hair.His hair was long enough to be styled like a short brush at the back of his head.While washing his hands, he said, "Wait for about five to 10 minutes, is that okay?"

"Why did your mother beat you? Did you steal her money?" The man was very persistent and wanted to get to the bottom of it.Ni Qiu took out a folding stool and turned the seat down for him, saying, "Sit down for a while."

The man sat down and said, "I want to add more food."

Ni Qiu was preparing ingredients, turned his back to the man, and said slightly apologetically, "Actually, our store hasn't opened yet, I think you're in a hurry... why don't you come over after it opens?"

He turned around and glanced at the man. Although the man was facing him, his eyes flicked back and forth, and he began to report the name of the dish casually: "Add green grilled three mushrooms, pork ribs and bamboo fungus porridge, and a delicious fried chicken wing." .”

After saying that, he waved his big hand, spread his legs, and said coolly: "That's it!"

His eyes swam back to Ni Qiu, back to his face, Ni Qiu looked at the wall clock, thought for a while with his fingers, and said, "Then you may have to wait a little longer..."

The man laughed, the laughter was short, he grabbed the folding stool and moved to the cooking table, folded his hands on the table and asked Ni Qiu: "Hey, are you afraid that I won't pay?"

As he spoke, he put two big bills on the table and said, "I'm not here for free."

Ni Qiu hurriedly waved his hands: "That's not what it means, it's that our boss may come over, I'm thinking he might..."

"I'm Fei Jue's friend." The man said.

"Ah..." Ni Qiu blushed, and hurriedly pushed back the money the man took out to him, "No need to give so much, no need, no need."

Hearing this, the man stretched out his hand to collect the money, and Ni Qiu's hand touched his. There were still raindrops on the back of the man's hand, which was a little warm.Ni Qiu was even more apologetic, lowered her voice, lowered her head, and said, "I didn't know you were Fei Jue's friend, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing?" The man slapped the table, Ni Qiu was startled by the sound, panicked, and hiccupped.

"What are you afraid of?" The man's voice was trembling, and he laughed as he spoke, "I said what are you afraid of? I won't eat you, and besides, I didn't mention me and Fei Jue Why are you apologizing? Do you like apologizing to others so much? Are you a customer service person?"

Ni Qiu couldn't stop hiccupping, he tried to swallow two mouthfuls of saliva to suppress the rushing breath, but he burped the loudest, Ni Qiu hurriedly prepared the bean sprouts and chicken wings, the man was still laughing , without any control, he stopped sitting, circled around Ni Qiu, frightened him with his teeth and claws, and said reasonably: "Hiccups are fine, just scare him, look at me, hey, look at me I... wow!!"

Ni Qiu didn't look at him, he was busy picking vegetables and marinating chicken wings, taking out the shiitake mushrooms and cleaning them. After a while, his hiccups healed naturally.The man patted him and said, "Don't tell Fei Jue that you've seen me."

Ni Qiu nodded, turned on the stove to heat the oil pan, and said warmly: "Be careful with the oil pan, you should sit back."

The man stood next to him, crossed his arms, and hugged him: "Don't you ask me why I want you to hide it from Fei Jue? Are you afraid that I will use his name to take advantage of you?"

Ni Qiu looked at him, but didn't answer, the man also looked at him: "Are you Fei Juehou here?"

Ni Qiu tilted his head: "Well...how should I put it..."

The man babbled and walked away: "It's too hard to talk to you, hesitating, you might as well hiccup." He imitated Ni Qiu and hiccuped twice, Ni Qiu patted the sauce on the apron, No objection, no justification.The man became quiet. Ni Qiu was cooking vegetables and porridge in front of the stove. Occasionally, when he turned his head and put the dishes on the cooking table, he saw the man with one arm either yawning or knocking on the pot with chopsticks, his eyelids drooping, bored, yes Doesn't look like he's interested in anything.

All the dishes the man asked for were ready, Ni Qiu patted his forehead and asked him: "Excuse me, I'm sorry... I forgot to ask if you want to eat here or take out..."

His fingers twisted the apron, the whole person was shaking from side to side, he didn't dare to look at the man, but the man didn't reply, Ni Qiu took a breath, and murmured, "Sorry..."

The man stretched out his hand and grabbed a chicken wing. Ni Qiu cautiously raised his eyes. The man was eating the chicken wing and stretched out his arms to pat him: "You're not a bad cook, customer service."

Ni Qiu was still very cautious: "Then do you want to pack or take away?"

The man was about to speak when his eyebrows moved suddenly, he licked his fingers, put on his hood and slipped out the back door. Ni Qiu was dumbfounded at the table full of dishes. After a while, Boss Mao entered the kitchen from the front. Seeing the four hot dishes on the table and Ni Qiu stared.Startled, Ni Qiu stuttered and hiccupped together.

"Mao... Boss Maomao... This is, slightly... It's Fei... Fei Jue..."

Boss Mao heard Fei Jue's name and said, "He ordered it? You made it before the person arrived. What if it gets cold!"

Ni Qiu pointed at the back door: "I... pack it... people..."

"People are waiting outside? Then hurry up!"

Ni Qiu half-covered her mouth, grabbed three takeaway boxes and a takeaway bowl, packed the vegetables in, and ran out with the takeaway bag in her arms.

The rain stopped for a while in the afternoon and it started to rain again. Ni Qiu ran to the door to search around, and then searched half a street, but he didn't see the man before. He looked at the hot dishes and porridge in his arms, wondering When it was good, someone dragged him into an alley by the side of the road.

"What are you doing? You're afraid that I'll be free and come out to ask for money?" The man who spoke was the man who claimed to be Fei Jue's friend. He was taller and stronger than Ni Qiu.
