In fact, Lu Xiaozhan knew where An's family was. He had been staying here for a month every year since he was a child, so he was very familiar with it. It was this black truck driver who took the initiative to talk about the hotel here, so Lu Xiaozhan simply took advantage of Tangxia to come here.
Anyway, he planned to find an opportunity to get in and take a look.
This small hotel is indeed not big. It is an old-fashioned brick building with three floors. The bottom floor is a two-bay grocery store and a reception hall. There is a light box hanging above the door. I don't know if the light tube is broken or not.
The power supply was short-circuited, and it was flashing and flashing at night. It felt a bit like a Longmen Inn.
The driver of the black car was very enthusiastic and helped Pan Weier pick up her backpack, walked into the store and shouted: "Sister Cui, we are picking up the customer!"
The nightly news was playing on the TV on the wall in the hall. An old lady stood up from the sofa and spat: "Sanheizi, what are you talking about? This is a serious shop, what the hell!"
As he spoke, he saw Lu Xiaozhan and Lu Xiaozhan following behind the driver. They looked at each other for a few times, sipped melon seeds and asked, "How many days do you two plan to stay? Do you want a double bed room or a standard room?"
Lu Xiaozhan raised his glasses: "We'll probably stay here for two or three days. We, brother and sister, can share a room, but we need a standard room with two beds. The kind of time-traveling thing is the way of youth."
The landlady heard that there was nothing to be gained and was too lazy to say anything. She sent a young girl on duty to take them into the room. She looked at Pan Weier's graceful back and said disdainfully: "Fuck, just fuck, return brother and sister, bah!"
This is the urban-rural fringe area, and there is nothing lively around it. The proprietress opened this hotel out of her own house when she had nothing to do. She had no intention of making a fortune out of it, so the so-called guest rooms are predictably shabby.
There are only two wooden beds in the room, with a mattress that costs dozens of yuan, a fancy bed sheet, a desk with drawers but no drawers, and a plastic stool next to it. The bathroom is
Yes, but it's hard to guarantee whether there will be hot water. The toilet is broken and has no lid. There is a small wooden shelf next to the basin of the sink, and there are several condoms and magic medicines on it.
Pan Weier couldn't help complaining: "This shabby hotel doesn't even have a TV, how can we survive this long night?"
Lu Xiaozhan said: "Be patient, we have nothing now, we can't stay in a serious hotel..." Before he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten anything since setting off from Tianhai. I guess Pan Weier also
I've been hungry for a long time, so I won't say anything about my next plan. It's more important to fill my stomach.
Pan Weier was already very hungry, so when Lu Xiaozhan made this suggestion, she immediately jumped for joy. She pulled Lu Xiaozhan and ran downstairs. She asked the proprietress about any restaurants nearby, and the proprietress pointed to her.
Direction: "There is a street over there, which is quite lively here. Many restaurants are open very late, but you two should be careful, it is not very peaceful there."
Lu Xiaozhan was startled: "Isn't this place very close to the villas of the elders? How can it still be uneasy?"
The landlady rolled her eyes: "The elders don't care about the security here. Besides, there is a highway not far to the north. There are so many cars coming and going, why don't you open some business?"
Lu Xiaozhan thought about it, but it had nothing to do with him whether the public security was good or not. He and Pan Weier didn't dress like rich owners, and anyone with any brains would not squeeze money from them.
The place the landlady mentioned was not very close to the hotel they were staying in. After walking for about twenty minutes, I saw a large area of brightly lit buildings in the distance. It turned out that this place was close to the highway exit. It was originally a small village, but it gradually developed.
It has become a small trading market, with a parking lot, a gas station, and a tire repair shop. Anyway, it is just to make money along with the road ahead.
Lu Xiaozhan didn't go inside, so he found a small restaurant at the corner of the street. He casually ordered a few dishes and a soup, and ordered a large bowl of rice and two cans of drinks. After a while, the dishes were slowly served, and the rice was also brought.
Lu Xiaozhan and Pan Weier didn't care whether it tasted good or not, they just wanted to fill their stomachs anyway.
There was a small branch road coming down from the highway exit, which was at right angles to the street. Lu Xiaozhan ate a few bowls of rice before he was satisfied. He bit a toothpick and looked at the surroundings casually. As expected, he told the landlady
It's almost the same, and the three words "dirty and messy" fully reflect it.
Outside the parking lot at the corner of the street, a few idle men seemed to be chatting casually, but their eyes were scanning everyone passing by on the street intentionally or unintentionally. Not far away, a barbecue stall was doing a booming business, and it was full of shabby people.
The drivers, each holding a bottle of beer, grilled skewers, smoked cigarettes, drank wine, laughed loudly, chatted and farted.
Pan Weier had no intention of going back just like that after eating. It was still early, and there was no TV or other entertainment activities when she went back, so she might as well join in the fun here. Lu Xiaozhan let her go, paid the bill, ordered a pot of tea and drank it slowly.
From time to time, passing cars whizzed by outside the store, bringing up a patch of gray sand.
Although these drivers who traveled long distances earned hard-earned money, each of them lived a simple life. Unlike himself, he was hunted down by the National Security Bureau for no reason. The more Lu Xiaozhan thought about it, the more depressed he became. The key is that there is no clue about this matter.
, I don’t know where to look up even if I want to.
The two of them just sat staring at each other. The business of this store was not as good as the previous ones. It was late at this time and there were not many customers. Lu Xiaozhan glanced at the gradually deserted store and greeted Pan Weier: "
Let’s go back and wash up and go to sleep.”
In fact, Pan Weier felt that this place was boring for a long time, so she just left. She got up and followed Lu Xiaozhan to the same boring hotel. The latest chapter of Pastoral Beauty.
The way back was very quiet. The time was not awkward. There were not even a few cars passing by. There were street lights on the road, but they might be in remote areas. Some were in disrepair, and many of them were no longer working.
Lu Xiaozhan and Pan Weier walked slowly on this dim road, while discussing the next action in a low voice.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaozhan's pace slowed down. Pan Weier immediately noticed it and also slowed down. However, the faces of the two of them still did not change. They were still chatting casually like a pair of brothers and sisters taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.
There were four people standing on the roadside not far ahead. They looked like ordinary country people, and they didn't necessarily have a tall or wretched figure. It's just that it was so dark now, but they were standing on the roadside inexplicably.
, seemed to be talking, but his eyes looked towards this end of the road from time to time.
Lu Xiaozhan remained calm, but Pan Weier was a little excited. She had been holding it back for the past two days. She was framed and hunted for no reason, and she was almost deprived of her account. With her temperament, she couldn't control it. She couldn't wait to do it now.
Someone picks a fight and she can have a good fight.
Unfortunately, the facts were somewhat different from what she thought. They walked past those people in a swaggering manner, but those people seemed to turn a blind eye. One of them was even disgusted by Pan Weier's non-mainstream look, and frowned and turned his head.
go.
Pan Weier immediately felt unhappy. She had already passed by you and didn't cause any trouble. How boring would that be? She was about to get angry using the guy's excuse of frowning, but Lu Xiaozhan secretly touched her arm.
At this moment, the sound of an engine suddenly came from the direction Lu Xiaozhan and the others came from. It was a car coming in this direction. After a while, the sound became clearer and clearer, and the light of the headlights also shone far away.
The four people had been chatting in a low voice, but suddenly they didn't know what topic they were talking about. One of them became furious, pushed one of them and cursed.
The person he pushed accidentally staggered and retreated from the side of the road to the middle of the road. He suddenly became angry, raised his fists and rushed over again. The two people next to him quickly tried to persuade him, but the two people couldn't help it.
He was too angry and could not be persuaded no matter how hard he tried. The two who tried to stop the fight were accidentally injured and received a few punches.
When Pan Weier saw someone fighting, her interest immediately got up. Just when she was about to stop and watch the fun, Lu Xiaozhan next to her pretended to be scared, pulled her and walked forward quickly, and slowly walked forward until she was some distance away.
He slowed down, and then walked back through the darkness next to him, because he felt that these people were a bit strange.
One of the fighting men glanced at Lu Xiaozhan secretly, and then immediately looked away, without even noticing that they were coming back. His eyes were always paying attention to the direction of the car, consciously or unconsciously.
Soon the car arrived here. The road was not very wide, and the four people were fighting and quarreling almost occupying the entire road. The car tried to pass through, but found that it still couldn't pass.
With a squeak, the car stopped. At this time, the four people were already fighting fiercely. One of them even broke his head and had blood all over his face. It was a little scary under the dim light of the street lights.
The people in the car were waiting patiently at first, but after waiting for a while, they found that those people were fighting more and more lively. Now the driver became impatient, opened the window, stuck out half of his head and yelled: "What a dog."
Stay out of the way! Can’t you just go to some other fucking place to fight?”
The four men fighting suddenly stopped at the same time. The one with his face covered in blood rolled up his sleeves and yelled back: "Fuck you! If you think it's blocking the road, why don't you buy a fucking plane... Do you still want to watch? If you're not convinced, come here and practice.
If you don’t dare, get out of here as soon as possible!”
The driver was so angry that he laughed out loud and opened the door. He had a strong figure but a hint of arrogance in his expression. When he walked towards the four people, his steps obviously had a certain rhythm.
It's obviously been trained for a long time.
As soon as the driver got out of the car, a person got out of the passenger seat. He was dressed similarly to the driver. He said calmly to the driver: "Speed up, it's getting late."
Pan Weier felt excited and whispered: "The driver is not a good driver. I think the four of them will suffer."
Lu Xiaozhan suddenly said calmly: "I think those two are the ones who suffer."
