In order to avoid being entangled by Hank, I quickly pulled Chen Xi away from the other side, followed by Han Ziqi and Chaoyang.
But we had to bypass a street here, which was a little further, and there were few cars here, so we finally got a taxi, so we went to another China Street.
Chinatown is the liveliest place and it’s easy to hear news.
As soon as I got out of the car, I let go of my senses and searched here first, but still found nothing.
Chen Xi pulled me into a Chinese restaurant, took off my windbreaker, and hurriedly sat at the table. He took the menu and introduced it to me eagerly: "Nuan Ting, let me tell you, his dishes have many Northeastern dishes.
The food tastes authentic, the boss is also from the Northeast, and the food is large and delicious.”
"In the six months since you've been here, you've discovered all the delicious food." I didn't feel my parents, so I felt a little disappointed and couldn't smile.
Chen Xi patted my hand: "Aren't you from Nanjiang? I guess you haven't eaten hometown food for a long time, hehe."
When Chenxi leaned toward me, the pink sweater collar slipped a little. I twitched the corner of my mouth and hurriedly helped her pull up the collar. There were strawberry marks on her neck.
After realizing it in the morning light, his face turned red, his head almost pierced into the ground, and he glanced at Han Ziqi's back bitterly.
Han Ziqi was talking to a tall, fat man.
The man seemed to be the owner of this store. His accent was indeed from the Northeast. He wore a black sweater, his hair was combed back meticulously, he pinched his waist, and spoke enthusiastically and boldly.
It is estimated that Han Ziqi and Chen Xi come here often and are already familiar with the boss. The boss smiled and patted Han Ziqi on the shoulder, and then followed Han Ziqi over.
"You just came here?" After the boss arrived at our table, he said something to me first, not unfamiliar at all.
I raised a smile and replied politely: "Yeah, I haven't had hometown food for a long time. I didn't expect to be able to eat it here."
The boss still had a cigarette in his hand. He put the cigarette in the corner of his mouth and held it in his mouth. The smoke made him unable to open his eyes. He held the ordering device with both hands and pressed a few menu codes.
Han Ziqi looked at him and stopped him quickly: "Brother, no, no, no, I always deliver food, how much does it cost."
Han Ziqi suddenly regained his Northeastern accent...
I rubbed my face and looked up to see the boss patting Han Ziqi twice on the shoulder: "What are you talking about? We are all fellow countrymen. It is not easy to be away from home. It is necessary to take care of each other. Besides, you are all students. We will wait for you later.
After I make money, I will never give you food, hahaha."
The boss was warm and cheerful. With just a few words, I felt like I was back in my hometown and my mood was much better.
We thanked the boss and then ordered the two dishes we wanted to eat.
Although I only ordered two, when the food was served, there were a total of five main dishes, three cold dishes, and two portions of fruit.
The size of the dish was so big that we were dumbfounded.
After a while, the boss came over with a load of beer, sat next to Han Ziqi, threw the cigarette butts on the ground boldly, crushed them with his feet, and ignored the other customers who came in, and asked other waiters to greet them.
"Can I drink?" The boss raised his chin towards Chaoyang next to Han Ziqi and smiled, "I know Ziqi can drink."
Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded politely: "I can drink it."
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't drank for a long time. No one is drinking with me. Let's have some drinks. Do you mind if I come in?"
"What are you talking about? Brother, how can you mind?" Han Ziqi said while pouring wine for the boss.
The three men sat in a row and started drinking, chatting while drinking.
The boss was also very polite and bold, but Chen Xi and I would not even look at us unless we took the initiative to talk to him. We chatted animatedly with Han Ziqi and Chaoyang.
"The boss's name is Zhou Qing. Han Ziqi and I usually call him Brother Zhou. When we first came here, we were not used to the food here. At first we could make it ourselves, but after school started, we didn't have time. We met on the street
He told us about these Chinatowns and helped us a lot."
Chen Xi lowered her head and told me while picking up the bone of the soy stick.
I took out a tissue and wiped the soy sauce stains from the corner of her mouth: "You have met a good person."
"It's not bad. My second uncle always said that good people are rewarded. Fortunately, I have been doing good deeds since I was a child."
I stopped my hand and felt a sharp pain in my heart.
"By the way, Fang Zhongyu and the others didn't answer my video, why didn't my second uncle and Aunt Duan answer my video either?" Chen Xi asked innocently with her big, watery eyes open.
I was just thinking about how to deal with it this time, when I was suddenly pulled by Zhou Qing opposite me.
"Ah?" I turned my head.
Zhou Qing drank the wine in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said to us solemnly: "Something happened recently. You kids, don't play too late at night and go home early."
"What happened?" The bone in Chen Xi's hand fell onto the plate with a snap.
Zhou Qing looked at the back table and found no one, so he turned back: "There have been a lot of things recently. One is that the Death Taxi incident has been broken. There is also another one, I also heard, over there on Donghua Street. Recently,
Someone saw a black Maybach carrying some people heading to a farm in the suburbs."
"Dead or alive?"...Always lingering between the dead and the living, I asked reflexively.
Zhou Qing looked at me strangely, maybe because he thought it was funny that a little girl asked me like this. He laughed and said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard that there are both dead and alive."
I opened my mouth and looked at Chaoyang.
Could it be my parents?
Zhou Qing's face suddenly became solemn: "And there are rumors that mummies are often pulled in that car."
"Mummy?" Chen Xi suddenly opened her eyes.
Zhou Qing hurriedly put his finger to his lips: "Shhhhhhhh, keep your voice down, it's not as safe as our hometown, so don't make any noise."
Chen Xi hurriedly covered her mouth and nodded heavily.
My hands under the table were already clenched.
I was a little unsure just now, but now I know it's a mummy... I remembered that the person cursed by Tong Tong last night also turned into a mummy.
It's almost inseparable from Tong Tong.
Chaoyang clinked glasses with Zhou Qing: "Brother Zhou, do you know where the Jiaoxia Farm is? We are planning to go sketching recently, so we have to avoid it."
"It's the one in the north. Hey, I said if you can't go to the countryside recently, don't go. Personal safety is not important."
"That's right, let's think about it again."
We had a meal until about three o'clock in the afternoon.
It’s not that I can’t hold my breath and don’t want to go to the farm, it’s because it’s hard to move around during the day.
After coming out of the hotel, we said goodbye to Zhou Qing and walked home.
Chen Xi couldn't help but drink, and now she was almost asleep.
We planned to send Chenxi home, and Chaoyang and I packed up and prepared to go to the farm.
"When are you going?" Han Ziqi asked Chaoyang and me while holding a wet towel to wipe the sweat off Chenxi's neck.
Chaoyang glanced at his watch: "Eleven o'clock in the evening?"
