In the early morning, Daolin's BBQ restaurant closed.
Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglin, and Ge Lianghua rode tricycles back to their residence. The whole journey was no different from usual. The three of them talked and laughed before arriving at the door of the small courtyard where they rented.
The three of them got out of the car. Ge Lianghua held the handle of the car, while Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin pushed behind.
Up to this point, everything is still the same as usual.
Until Xu Tonglin suddenly touched Xu Tongdao's arm and whispered: "Hey, Xiaodao! Look over there! The light in that guy's room is on tonight. Has he come to live here today?"
As he spoke, he gestured to the room on the east side of the courtyard with his chin.
That was the room Zheng Qing rented, and there was indeed light coming from the crack in the door of his room.
Comrade Xu looked in the direction he indicated and was a little surprised to see light coming from the crack in the door of Zheng Qing's room.
They have been renting in this courtyard for more than a year. They have long been accustomed to Zheng Qing's house being kept dark for a long time. Zheng Qing rents that house all the year round but rarely comes to live in it.
In Xu Tonglin's eyes, Zheng Qing is very mysterious.
Mainly because when they first met Zheng Qing last year, Zheng Qing, who was wearing black clothes, black pants and black shoes, was seriously injured and his chest was bloody.
He doesn't look like a serious person no matter how he looks.
From then on, Xu Tonglin was a little afraid to approach Zheng Qing.
If not for Xu Tongdao's insistence, Xu Tonglin would not have been willing to treat Zheng Qing, mainly because he did not want to get into trouble.
Later, after Zheng Qing recovered, she occasionally visited their business. A few days ago, she even went to their store to have barbecue.
But Xu Tonglin still didn't dare to get too close to Zheng Qing.
Now more than a year has passed, Zheng Qing is still mysterious in Xu Tonglin's eyes.
I don’t know what this person does, or whether there are many enemies out there.
In fact, Comrade Xu’s understanding of Zheng Qing is very limited so far.
He still didn't know what Zheng Qing did.
But every time he came into contact with Zheng Qing, he could feel that Zheng Qing had no ill intentions towards him, and Zheng Qing seemed to always remember the kindness of saving his life.
This can be seen from Zheng Qing's occasional visits to take care of his business.
"What are you talking about?"
Ge Lianghua, who was pushing the cart, turned around and asked, with a curious expression.
Xu Tonglin quickly responded: "Nothing, just a guy who rents a yard with us, here! It's the guy in the easternmost room!"
Comrade Xu didn't want to explain too much to Ge Lianghua, "You go and wash up and go to bed first! I'll go over and have a few words with him."
"Xiaodao! Why are you looking for him?"
Xu Tonglin frowned and wanted to persuade Xu Tong to say goodbye.
Ge Lianghua didn't know why and looked confused.
But Comrade Xu had already walked to Zheng Qing's room, "You guys should wash up and go to bed early! Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon!"
In fact, at that moment, Comrade Xu thought that if he went to open an Internet cafe in the city, he might be able to use Zheng Qing.
As we all know, everyone goes to Internet cafes to play.
Some people who don't follow the right path may cause trouble.
Therefore, he needs someone who can calm things down.
Originally! His cousin Ge Lianghua was a good candidate.
Ge Lianghua had never been afraid of fighting. Most people would not dare to fight Ge Lianghua when they saw that he was tall, dark-skinned and muscular.
However, Ge Lianghua is now needed at the barbecue restaurant. Ge Lianghua is already responsible for the barbecue here. If he is removed at this time, the barbecue work will have to fall on him, Comrade Xu.
And he still has to make those home-cooked meals, which is too busy for one person.
In fact, playing Dongyang is almost okay.
After more than half a year of recuperation, Xi Dongyang's body has recovered. Xi Dongyang, who became known as the "Skinny Tiger" in Shazhou County back then, should have no problem visiting a small Internet cafe in the city.
Recently, Comrade Xu has also considered playing in Dongyang.
But in the end it still didn’t feel right.
First of all, Xi Dongyang is now in charge of the cold dishes in his barbecue restaurant, and occasionally cuts and prepares them for him.
Second, Xi Dongyang’s grandfather and grandma are old, and his grandfather gets sick every now and then and has to go to the hospital. His sister Xi Xiaoqian is in high school, and it is difficult to find time to take care of the family. Under such circumstances, Xi Dongyang is transferred to the city.
Here, no matter what Comrade Xu thinks, it is not appropriate.
Comrade Xu has been thinking about who to look for to head the upcoming Internet cafe recently, and he has been leaning towards finding a brother that Ge Lianghua can trust.
Ge Lianghua used to hang out in the county town, and his love for making friends allowed him to make friends with many people of the same mind.
Tongdao Xu believed that there should be someone among his cousin Ge Lianghua's friends who could use it.
However, as soon as he saw a bright light coming from Zheng Qing's house, he suddenly had a new idea - is Zheng Qing a suitable candidate?
He's not sure.
Because he doesn't even know what Zheng Qing does in his daily life, how can he be sure that Zheng Qinghe is not suitable to show him an Internet cafe?
If Zheng Qing usually has his own business to take care of, how can he visit a small Internet cafe?
However, Tongdao Xu had a vague feeling that Zheng Qing should not have his own business.
Maybe Zheng Qing is really suitable.
With these thoughts in mind, Comrade Xu came to Zheng Qing's house door, raised his hand and knocked.
"Dong dong"
No one answered inside.
Tongdao Xu frowned slightly, raised his hand and knocked twice, "dong dong".
"Who?"
Zheng Qing's voice finally came from the room, and Comrade Xu heard a hint of vigilance in his voice.
Are you afraid that your enemies will come to your door?
This thought flashed through Xu Tongdao's mind, "It's me! Brother Qing, open the door for me!"
"Oh, it's a trail! Wait a minute!"
Zheng Qing's voice became much more relaxed, and then Comrade Xu heard a slight noise inside, followed by footsteps approaching the door. Zheng Qing seemed not to be walking fast. Comrade Xu waited for a while before the door was opened.
Zheng Qing, still wearing black clothes and black trousers, appeared in front of Xu Tongdao, his face was a little pale, and there was actually some blood on his hands...
Tongdao Xu frowned, "Brother Qing, what's wrong with you? Are you injured again? Is your hand okay?"
A smile appeared on Zheng Qing's pale face, she shook her head slightly, turned sideways, and extended her hand to signal, "Come in and sit down! Let's talk after you come in!"
Turning sideways is a very simple movement, but Xu Tongdao noticed that Zheng Qing was having difficulty turning sideways. There was a look of pain on his face and it was very difficult to lift his right foot.
Tongdao Xu looked at his right leg and foot, and suddenly noticed that his black trousers were wet and there was a tear. Zheng Qing's right thigh was injured.
Tongdao Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked into the room, closed the door for him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qing, what's wrong with your leg? Is it serious? Aren't you going to the hospital this time?"
Zheng Qing grinned and smiled silently, "It's okay! The injury this time is not serious, it was just a cut by someone. I was just about to bandage it! You came just in time, help me do it! I'm a little bit injured myself.
