fault tolerance

Tang Lou is very fortunate to have met Huo Ming.At the beginning, he was worried that the two of them would not be very familiar with each other, and that they might be bored when they went on the road together, but he did not expect that he was still a very interesting guy.

On the day of departure, Huo Ming prepared the off-road vehicle early and waited in front of the hotel.As soon as he saw Tang Lou, he blew a whistle in a playful manner, and greeted him: "A bowl of beef noodles? My treat."

When you arrive in the Northwest, it is really unreasonable not to eat a bowl of beef noodles.Tang Lou put the suitcase in the rear compartment, and followed: "Let me treat you. Please drive with me."

Thinking of his expired driver's license, Tang Lou felt a little awkward.

"Look down on me? I'm Huo..." Huo Ming was taken aback, thinking of something, he quickly added, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Huo Ming. I'm not a local, but I've lived here for many years. I know a little bit about everything. If you want to know anything, you can ask me.”

"My name is Tang Lou." Tang Lou also responded.

"I know, I know, didn't I look at your driver's license yesterday?"

Expired driver's license.

Tang Lou coughed unnaturally to cover up his embarrassment.

Huo Ming knew this well, and secretly laughed too.

They went to the Old Man Ma Beef Noodle Restaurant in the side alley. They said it was a noodle restaurant, but it was actually just a simple shack.A young, gray-haired old man bent over, pulled the mask, and greeted the guests to sit if there was space.

The clear soup was scooped up high, stretched and poured into the noodle bowl, and Tang Lou's stomach gurgled twice.

Huo Ming rubbed his nose and smiled twice, pointing to the dry cut beef on the chopping board: "Add more meat. The beef noodles here are actually just made of beef soup, without beef in it. Buy additional meals."

"Two servings. I'm a little hungry." Tang Lou's eyes stared straight at Old Man Ma's hands, as if he wanted to see the flaws in the hands that were rolling out the noodles.

"Add more beef."

"Okay!" The old man Ma responded loudly, without looking back to see which guest it was.

Perhaps, Huo Ming often comes here, so he has become a regular customer.

After a while, the old man Ma brought a large bowl of beef noodles, which were sprinkled with chives and coriander, and a thick layer of sliced ​​beef was spread in a piece of green oil.Huo Ming naturally pushed the bowl in front of Tang Lou, motioning him to move his chopsticks first: "You don't usually drive, do you?"

Looking at this bowl of beef noodles, which can be called "luxury", Tang Lou scooped up the noodles with chopsticks without hesitation.He knew that it would take about 3 to 5 days to get to the destination if he set off now, and the chance to have a bite of hot food would depend on God's support.

After taking two mouthfuls of noodles and a big mouthful of soup, he answered Huo Ming's question with satisfaction: "I haven't driven for a while, so my driver's license has expired."

In the past, Huo Ming was worried about his driver's license expiring.

But Huo Ming stroked the corners of his lips with his nails, thinking about what stories Tang Lou hid.He didn't bring much luggage, a suitcase and a backpack, but there were a lot of things exposed inside and out.

Miner's lamps, windproof hoods, and marching water bottles are dangling on the backpack, and the antenna exposed in the side pocket is probably a satellite phone.

The thin-skinned tenement house should have a lot of experience in the field, and I came to rent a car alone, how could I forget to confirm the driver's license?

interesting.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Huo Ming buried his head in eating noodles. Anyway, there will always be something to say in the next few days.

Tang Lou looks good, is also a university professor, and is engaged in archaeological work, which can be regarded as the coexistence of intellectual and wild interest.Huo Ming is superficial, he is a little tempted, but love at first sight cannot be called love at first sight, mainly because of Tang Lou's status, it is easy to make people like him.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like that big star?" After Huo Ming finished eating the noodles, he asked Old Man Ma to cut up a big lump of beef, packed it away, and planned to have a tooth festival on the road.

"Yeah. I'm his brother." Tang Lou knew that he was talking about Ah Jun, and thought that there was nothing to hide, but he admitted it generously.

The two walked back to the car one after the other.

Tang Lou suddenly remembered something, and apologized to Huo Ming: "I promised my friend to report to him that he is safe, but there may be no signal in a while. I will give him a call."

Huo Ming took out a cigarette from his pocket, raised his eyebrows, and obediently stood aside.

Tang Lou called Zhu Guangrong and used a video call.Before, he went to Africa by himself and got injured all over his body. This time, Zhu Guangrong told him to always report his safety.

All the time, it's kind of difficult.

But after a while, the road is not easy to walk, and the signal may not work.He brought a satellite phone, and that didn't work for video chat either.

"Tang Lou! You've arrived. How's it going? Is everything going well?" Zhu Guangrong's head occupied the entire screen, and he looked at him with a smile.

Tang Lou nodded, switched the angle of the camera, swayed towards the only street in the town, and then quickly switched back: "Okay. I'm here, don't worry. There may be no signal in a few days, and you don’t worry."

"Well, pay attention to yourself." Zhu Guangrong pulled the phone away, revealing the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, looking familiar.

He was actually in that house.

"Brother Zhou Yu is here too, don't you want to say hello?" Zhu Guangrong poked the place next to him with his finger and mouthed, "I'm here to water the flowers, he's at home."

Tang Lou frowned, and said casually, "The signal is bad, I'll hang up first."

"Hey, wait, Tang Lou!!!" Zhu Guangrong didn't expect that he would hang up the phone so quickly, and couldn't help shouting.

Zhou Yu was standing beside him, with a dark face the whole time, gnashing his teeth and growling: "Who is the person next to him?!"

"Same...colleague." Zhu Guangrong replied awkwardly. Just now, Tang Lou circled the camera, revealing the face of a smoking man, and the man waved towards the camera.

"Does he have this colleague?" Zhou Yu often went to school recently, so he didn't notice this person at all. Moreover, after Tang Lou left, he contacted the head of the department immediately.Seeing that he had donated a large sum of money, the head of the department was very polite to him, and bluntly said that Tang Lou went to London alone, and he was quite worried.

Zhu Guangrong didn't care much about Tang Lou's work, and he was so busy with his relationship recently that he didn't have time to get distracted.Now racking my brains, I don't know who that man is.

Maybe it's just a passerby.

"I don't know." Zhu Guangrong originally just came to see the green plants at home, and wanted to take advantage of the year before to water them and return to his hometown tomorrow.As a result, when he opened the door, he bumped into Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu saw the door he opened, his eyes wished he could kill Zhu Guangrong directly, he didn't even ask, it was a declarative sentence: The password he gave?

Zhu Guangrong was trembling, he was not the opponent of Zhou Daxingxing at all, he said nothing wrong, and frequently knocked over the water when watering the flowers.

Zhu Guangrong knew that there must be a conflict between the two, but he didn't know how to resolve it.

"Brother Zhou Yu." He still wanted to say something, but saw Zhou Yu turn around and enter the room, and went out with a backpack after a while.

"When you leave, close the door." Zhou Yu put on his sunglasses, covering half of his face, but calmed down, "Thank you for coming to water. I'll go to Tanglou."

"Well, you're welcome." Zhu Guangrong was thanked by the big star, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and watched Zhou Yu stride away from home.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Zhu Guangrong obediently went back to water the flowers, still thinking about the conversation just now.Suddenly, with a jolt, Zhou Yu turned the corner, did Zhou Yu say he was looking for Tang Lou?

Then you have to tell him!

Zhu Guangrong quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Tang Lou, but the other party's phone was turned off.

"There is no signal so soon?" Zhu Guangrong called several times, but he was reminded that the phone had been turned off.He had no choice but to give up and secretly slandered.

In fact, when Tang Lou heard that Zhou Yu was by Zhu Guangrong's side, he subconsciously hung up the phone and turned off the phone directly.He was afraid that Zhou Yu would call back.

I have made up my mind to leave him.

One less sentence is one sentence.
