Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin did not rush back to the rental house. They sat on the curb under the tree and watched the business of the three barbecue stalls across the road.
In fact, it was mainly Xu Tongdao who was watching. Xu Tonglin didn't even know what he was sitting here watching. He was mainly accompanying Xu Tongdao.
What is Tongdao Xu looking at?
Looking at the passenger flow is one aspect, paying attention to which time points the passenger flow is larger is another aspect, and another aspect... He also wants to see who are probably coming here to eat barbecue.
Are it mostly ordinary people who come out to play?
Or are there mostly second-rate people who come out to hang out?
Also...are there many people making trouble?
He wanted to know all these.
As a result... he saw people from all walks of life, including low-class guys with tattoos; there were also men who came out of the dance hall with women; there were also women who looked very sleazy at first glance; and well-dressed men and women who got off the car...
…
This is in line with his impression of night markets. He used to go out for supper in the middle of the night and saw almost the same people.
He felt confident.
After sitting on the roadside and observing quietly for a few hours, he also noticed something...the three barbecue stalls sold only a single type of barbecue.
The grilled items are basically all meat, except mutton skewers, lamb kidneys, eggs, etc.
Comrade Xu didn't see them baking vegetarian dishes.
When he noticed this, Tongdao Xu smiled. It seemed that in two days he would open the door to a new world for these people.
Not grilling vegetarian dishes? This is very unfriendly to female customers!
"Go back! It's getting late!"
When the moon was at its peak, Xu Tongdao raised his hand and glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist. Seeing that it was already past 11 o'clock, he stood up and called Xu Tonglin back to rest.
Although the three barbecue stalls are doing good business at the moment, there is no sign of closing the stalls yet.
The electronic watch on his wrist was bought when he was studying. It was a bargain, costing 5 yuan.
But the time is very accurate, no worse than those expensive watches.
Walking into the alley behind him, Xu Tonglin yawned and asked: "Xiaodao, when do you plan for us to set up a stall? Can we set up a stall tomorrow?"
"Of course!"
Comrade Xu did not hesitate.
Although it would take time to conduct several experiments to develop grilled vegetarian dishes, making money was the most important thing. He could take the time to conduct experiments while making money.
There is no need to wait for all the dishes to be developed before putting them out.
Anyway, those three stalls don’t sell grilled vegetarian dishes.
The two of them walked and chatted, then returned to the door of the rental house slowly and saw a man in black clothes and black trousers holding the key to open the door.
Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin thought it was another tenant in the yard, so they stood at the door waiting for the man to open the door. The gap in the door was very large, and cats and dogs could get in and out. The door was locked with two knockers.
You can lock it outside the yard, and you can lock it inside the yard.
Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin stood behind the man and waited for a moment, but unexpectedly found that the man was holding a key and tremblingly stabbing the lock, but never inserted it into the keyhole.
Too much wine?
Tongdao Xu frowned, already smelling the strong smell of alcohol on this man's body.
"Hey! You drank too much, do you want us to help?"
Xu Tongdao asked aloud.
When the man in black who was trying to pick out the key heard the sound, he stopped holding the key in his hand, put one hand on the door frame, and slowly turned back to look at Xu Tongdao, and then at Xu Tonglin.
When he turned his head, the expressions of Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin changed at the same time, and they both subconsciously took two steps back.
Under the dim light at the door, they both saw that the man in black had several crisscross cuts on his chest, his dark shirt was torn and torn, and his chest was stained wet with blood.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
Xu Tonglin asked with his tongue tied. As he asked, he subconsciously hid behind Xu Tongdao.
Tongdao Xu narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and quietly took off the keys from his waist with his right hand. He silently held the longest key between his thumb and index finger, and was on full alert.
The face of the man in black at the door was in the shadow of the light and could not be seen clearly. He could only see that he had a long face. At this time, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, opening and closing uncertainly. He must have lost too much blood, lacked energy, and had a headache.
Feeling a little dizzy.
"Save, save me...I, I have money..."
The man's deep voice was intermittent, and he raised his other hand to Comrade Xu.
"Xiaodao, what, what should I do? Why don't we call the police?"
Xu Tonglin asked Xu Tongdao in a frightened low voice, his teeth already chattering a little.
Comrade Xu said nothing.
He just stared at the man in black at the door with squinted eyes.
The man's figure suddenly swayed and he almost fell.
Comrade Xu still didn't move. After trying hard to stand still, the man begged in a low voice: "Little brother... please... please..."
"Xiao Xiaodao, let's, why don't we call the police? This person must have been killed by his enemy... We, we'd better not get involved, what do you think?"
The icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely...
This sentence suddenly flashed through Xu Tongdao's mind.
Then, he looked around at both ends of the alley and saw no one. He suddenly stepped forward to support the man in black and whispered: "Don't fall asleep! I'll take you to the hospital!"
As he said that, he was about to help the man leave here, but the man grabbed Xu Tongdao's arm with one hand, shook his head slightly with difficulty, and said: "No! Don't send me to the hospital... I, I live in the east corner.
Room, room... My room, I have a medical kit in my room... Please... Please help me take care of my wounds... Thank you, thank you..."
"Trail..."
Xu Tonglin looked worried.
Xu Tongdao, who had already made up his mind, ignored him. He took the key from the man's hand and quickly opened the door. At the same time, he greeted Xu Tonglin in a low voice, "Linzi! Come here and help! Hurry!"
Xu Tonglin didn't have any idea, he hesitated slightly, then hurried over to help support the other half of the man's body.
After entering the door, Comrade Xu ordered again: "Lock the door quickly!"
"Hey, hey!"
Xu Tonglin agreed and hurriedly locked the door.
Tongdao Xu had already supported the man in black and quickened his pace, half supporting and half dragging the floor towards the easternmost door. It was already late at night and the yard was very quiet. Only the window of one room still showed light. The people inside
He was probably watching TV, and there was TV sound coming out.
Soon, Xu Tonglin, who had locked the courtyard door, ran over and helped hold the man in black on the other side.
While rushing towards the easternmost door, Xu Tonglin whispered: "Xiaodao, why should we care about this kind of thing! It's too dangerous, this is too dangerous..."
Comrade Xu's face was tense and he said nothing.
He himself knew that before his rebirth, he must have been the same as Xu Tonglin and would not have cared about such a thing.
If you can't avoid it, how can you take care of it?
But after his rebirth, he first jumped into the river to save Xu Tonglin, and then deliberately made friends with Xu Changsheng, who was no one looked up to and had no friends. After that, his thoughts and ideas slowly changed.
He began to understand that the best way to strengthen his network... was to lend a helping hand to others when they were in the most difficult or dangerous times.
