Super Time Detective

Ah Hu didn't say anything, just sat down silently and continued to eat.

After a while, Huang Mao and Ah Hu finished eating.

Huang Mao rushed into the shop and yelled "pay the bill", and the proprietress came out immediately and said to the two, "It's 53 yuan in total."

Ah Hu reached out to touch the wallet, and when his hand touched the thin herringbone vest, he realized that his wallet was hidden in the coat of the security uniform, and he had just thrown it into the garden together.

A look of embarrassment and embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, and the blood-red birthmark also turned deep red due to the congestion on his face.

"Hey, it's only a little money. Sprinkle some water, Brother Mao, I'm treating you!"

Huang Mao took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and stuffed it to the proprietress, "You don't need to look for it, I will charge the rest to my account, come back next time!"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Ah Hu and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk with brother, let's get rid of food!"

The two left the small restaurant and walked along the alley.

"That's right, Ah Hu."

As he was walking, Huang Mao said, "Look at yourself now. You have lost your job. You only wear a torn vest when you go out on the street. You can't even afford 25 yuan of rice rolls and fish skin. What do you think? what?"

He leaned closer to Ah Hu and said with a smile:

"Look at you, you are strong and strong, you can fight and fight! Anyway, your boss has also fallen, so why not follow my boss, so that you will be my brother Mao's brother in the future!"

Ahu didn't even hesitate for a second, and refused without hesitation: "No."

"Hey, think about it again!"

Huang Mao still didn't give up, "It's very profitable to be with our boss! It's better to keep you in the dormitory than you are now living in the staff dormitory?"

Having said that, Huang Mao winked suddenly, and poked Ahu's sore spot cheaply:

"I forgot, brother Ming has fallen, and you have been fired by the new boss, and now you can't even go back to the dormitory!"

These words were heartbreaking, and the veins on A'hu's forehead twitched, dyeing the large hemangioma on his cheek even more bright red.

"roll!"

He was clumsy in speech and tongue, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with Huang Mao, he directly raised his elbow and bumped Huang Mao's waist and eyes, causing him to yell loudly, covering his stomach and unable to straighten his waist.

Then Ah Hu strode forward without looking back.

"You @￥%&!"

Seeing that the solicitation was unsuccessful, Huang Mao was so angry that his lungs hurt, he cursed behind Ah Hu:

"You just ate my chee cheong fun and fish skin! If you are capable, pay back what you owe me now!"

Ah Hu stopped in his tracks.

Huang Mao's unintentional words reminded him of the scene when he first met Yin Jiaming.

Ah Hu remembered that at that time he and his sister had just left the kindergarten of the church, Lele was 19 years old, and he was only 17 years old.

The two of them had nothing to live on, and they found a place to stay in the slums relying only on the bits and pieces of savings that their sister had accumulated in various ways over the years.

In retrospect, it was not so much a "house" as a "shack".

A dozen or so people were squeezed into the cramped room of less than [-] square feet. The so-called public area and the bedroom were separated by nylon ropes and rags. They lived together and went outside every day. Playing mahjong is doing unsightly things.

Even with such a poor living environment, they still need to pay rent.

There, men pay rent with cigarettes, "candy" and tickets, and if women have no money, they can only pay with their bodies.

When the siblings first arrived, many people saw that Lele was young and beautiful, so they had dirty thoughts.

Fortunately, Lele and Ahu are not easy to bully due to the rough living environment since they were young, even though one of them is just a girl and the other can only be regarded as a teenager.

When Ah Hu was fighting with three big men for the first time in order to protect his sister, and his forehead was hit by a wine bottle, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be particularly insensitive to pain.

I don't know if it was because he was violently abused by his animal father when he was a child, and he developed resistance, or because his brain was injured, and the pain management area is not working well.

Even though he was knocked bloody by beer bottle scum, Ah Hu still rushed over like a trapped beast, swung at the three of them with whatever he could get his hands on, once, twice, three times...

Later, while crying, Lele helped her younger brother, who was covered in blood, to the hospital. From then on, no one dared to bully the young couple in the group rented shack.

The two stayed in the slum for half a year.

During that time, Lele found a job as a dealer with his skillful hands, while Ahu made a living by pulling a rickshaw.

But in Jincheng in the late 70s, even if you just wanted to work hard and earn some hard money, it was not so easy.

Ah Hu's mind is not bright, and he doesn't understand the twists and turns in the industry.He doesn't know anything about recognizing temple gates, paying homage to the wharf, and paying for dredging and protection fees.

Finally, one time, Ahu went home alone after finishing work late at night, and was blocked by several people on the road, who beat and kicked him to clean up, insisting on snatching the tickets in his pocket.

Even after three years, Ah Hu still remembered that he had 52 cents on him at that time, which was almost equivalent to a week's food expenses for him and Lele.

So even though his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and his forehead was bleeding, he still held on to the 52 cents and refused to let go even though the five men beat and kicked him.

Just when he thought he would be beaten to death, he heard a voice:

"Hey, I don't like people who bully people who are few!"

Immediately afterwards, a tall and straight figure jumped into the battle ring without warning, and kicked one of them flying.

Ah Hu raised his head, one eye was covered with blood, and he used the other to look at the man who appeared suddenly.

At that time, he fell to the ground. From his angle, he could only see the hem of the other party's black T-shirt and the ripped jeans with flamboyant styles. There was something hanging around his waist, shining golden light under the street lamp.

——This was the first time he and Yin Jiaming met.

Yin Jiaming had just turned twenty at that time, but his skills were already quite impressive.

He single-handedly defended in front of Ah Hu, one against five, and he did not lose the wind.

But Yin Jiaming was much smarter than Ah Hu, and he would not blindly resist at all.

Seeing that Ah Hu seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, he picked up the person with one hand, knocked a person away in a cold breath, and broke through the encirclement.

"Silly boy, run!"

Yin Jiaming shoved Ahu's back hard, while he suddenly picked up a large plastic bucket half a person's height by the side of the road, covered his head and face, and threw it at the two chasing in front.

The plastic bucket was filled with foul-smelling swill, and the chaser was doused all over his body suddenly. He suffered a double blow physically and psychologically. He staggered and almost fell directly into the filth of the big beach.

Yin Jiaming seized the opportunity, grabbed Ah Hu and ran wildly all the way, burrowing into the alleys, jumping over walls and houses, and actually got rid of the five people.

"Okay, you should be fine here."

Yin Jiaming stopped at an intersection, and at the same time, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed Ahu in front of him, "Don't run away, they won't be able to catch up."

Ahu was staggered by Yin Jiaming's drag, his foot was unsteady for a while, and he fell on the curb with his buttocks.

It wasn't until this moment that he felt almost exhausted.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Seeing that Ah Hu looked like he was lying on the ground and unable to get up, Yin Jiaming was afraid that he would be seriously injured, so he quickly squatted down and reached out to brush his frizzy forehead hair, trying to check the wound on his forehead.

"Do not touch me!"

Ah Hu blocked Yin Jiaming's hand.

But Yin Jiaming had already seen the big hideous hemangioma on his right cheek.

The birthmark that was born that day was really ugly, like a huge poisonous spider, almost covering half of the young man's cheek, mixed with the blood and bruises all over his face, like a yaksha evil spirit.

Yin Jiaming was stunned for a moment, and then instantly figured out the cause and effect under Ahu's humiliating and hateful eyes.

But he didn't say anything, just smiled, stretched out his hand to ruffle Ahu's wet and messy hair, then took off his coat, threw it on the young man's face, "wipe the blood off his face , I'll take you to dinner."

"Two bowls of Darong, one plate of Niuhe, and two cups of frozen lemon tea, thank you boss!"

Yin Jiaming took the order skillfully, then looked up at Ah Hu who was standing beside the table, "What's wrong? Sit down and eat noodles!"

"Don't eat."

Ah Hu replied stiffly:

"I have no money."

He was telling the truth.

Prices in Jincheng are not cheap, especially in terms of catering.

In order to save money, Ahu and Lele have always only bought some cheap minced meat and crushed vegetables from the vegetable market and cooked for themselves at home.He has never been reluctant to eat "big rong" with two taels of bamboo noodles and eight fresh meat wontons.

"Come on, sit down."

Yin Jiaming smiled: "Think of it as my treat."

"no!"

Ah Hu still stood still: "My sister said that you should be cautious in life, and you can't just eat other people's food!"

While they were talking, the boss came over with two bowls of noodles and a plate of fried beef.

He didn't care about the weird atmosphere of the two of them sitting and standing, he put the things on the table with a "boom", turned around and left.

A light bulb hangs directly above the table.

The dim yellow light shines on the food just out of the pan. The noodles are golden in color, and the wonton fillings are plump and soaked in the translucent clear soup, which is delicious and fragrant.And the plate of yellow and oily fried rice noodles is topped with a few pieces of dark brown beef. The taste, even if you only imagine it in your mind, is already mouth-watering.

"Gudong."

Ah Hu swallowed instinctively.

He is really hungry.

He ran all over the streets and alleys of Jincheng under the scorching sun with his feet. After a whole day, he only had a can of water and two pieces of pancakes to satisfy his hunger.After finally finishing work late at night, he was blocked and beaten by several people, and his body was exhausted.

He really wanted, really wanted to sit down, have a big meal without any scruples, and taste the taste of Darong and Niuhe.

"How about this, you owe it first."

Seeing Ahu's inner struggle, Yin Jiaming smiled, then took out a pen from his pocket, tore off a corner of paper from the menu, and scribbled down a line of numbers on it.

"I call the phone number."

Yin Jiaming handed the piece of paper to Ahu:

"When you have money, return the meal money to me."
