2. Night walking
Anyway, the guy is full of spring breeze, smiling and groaning and serving a plate of dishes, don't look at Niu Erzhu is poor, in the end, he is a person in the gang, and he has also eaten and seen, and he knows that it is a famous dish - scallion roasted sea cucumber, this is something that only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford, and a plate will cost two oceans! The chef's skills are good, and the cooking is also meticulous, and the fragrance wafts all over the building when one end comes out, attracting the attention of all diners. The guy put the dishes on the table, and Niu Erzhu sweated down, and his face was more ugly than seeing a ghost. As the saying goes, all the way to the wine and food to entertain guests and friends, the big restaurant treats people who eat white food is different from ordinary customers, ordinary customers are the God of Wealth who takes care of business, so they naturally have to be wholeheartedly received, the more enthusiastic the better. Eating white food is just the opposite, the more cold the host is to you, the better, even if the guy ignores and sends you some leftovers, which shows that people are not happy to pay attention to you, love to eat, don't like to eat and get out, and no one is looking for you to be unlucky. And once the guy greets him with a smile, and the good wine and good food are enough, you are not far from bad luck, there is no food in the world that does not require money, you have eaten a ditch full of trenches, and you can't get the money before leaving, and people will have to use other debts to pay off their debts. Niu Erzhu secretly shouted that it was not good, this shopkeeper had bad intentions, and he wanted to use his own prestige to warn the people with ghosts in his heart, look at the posture, or remove some parts from his body, he would not be able to get out of this door today!
Niu Erzhu regretted that his intestines were blue, what kind of cleverness did you say you were shaking, you don't have to go to Shandong to help this night, but if you really put your arms, thighs, nose and ears here, how can you see people in the rest of your life? Dashao is worried, and the dishes are ready one after another, four dishes and eight bowls, neatly and neatly, and it is actually a good swallow wing seat. Where can Niu Erzhu still sit at this time, twisting the twist on the chair while thinking about a way to get out. The men and thugs had already kept the stairs and doorways so tightly that not even a fly could fly out, and the windows were open, but this was the fifth floor, and if you jumped down, you would have to break your bones and tendons, and you wouldn't be able to get anywhere better than being beaten.
Niu Erzhu was in trouble, and there was a sound of kicking on the mountain at the staircase, and another one came up. The person who came was an old man, his beard and hair were white, and the clothes on his body were stacked with patches, it stands to reason that this dress could not enter such a big restaurant as Dengyinglou, but it was strange that no one stopped him from the guy to the shopkeeper, this person sat directly opposite the two pillars, as long as a bowl of plain noodles, but did not eat a mouthful, looking at the banquet in front of Niu Erzhu, there was a lot of coveting.
Niu Erzhu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the old man's greedy face, and was about to make another plan, when his heart suddenly moved: This old man is a shield. Thinking of this, he immediately got up, hugged his fist at the old man and said: "The old man is very kind, since we meet here, it is also fate, why don't we put the table together and eat and drink together?" ”
Niu Erzhu originally planned that the old man would refuse, but who knew that the old man had already had this intention, so without saying a word, he entered the table with the bowl of somen noodles. Niu Erzhu was happy in his heart, it would be different if there was one more person to eat, this meal was eaten by two people, you can't be unreasonable when you go to Yinglou, just beat me alone, right? This old man is almost old, and he will fall down as soon as the wind blows, let alone beating, he will lose half his life after taking a beating, no matter how powerful Deng Yinglou is, what can he do? I can borrow the old man's card to get out, the idea is decided, Niu Dashao smiled, and the old man pushed the cup to change the lamp, eat and drink.
The old man is skinny and skinny, the amount of food is not small, a pair of chopsticks are like pliers, and he can't help but fill the meat pieces and seafood into his mouth, and the food is flowing with oil in his mouth, Niu Erzhu is dizzy when he looks at it, thinking that he hasn't eaten for a few days, and the three young men may not be able to eat him, don't turn around and die here, then he really can't go. Niu Erzhu had the heart to persuade the old man to eat less, but the old man turned a deaf ear, and it was strange to say, although the old man was old, his movements were not slow, Niu Erzhu, a person who had practiced boxing and feet for a few days, couldn't stop him, and his strength was also great.
After a while, the table full of dishes was at the bottom, and the old man was full of burps and beckoned to the man, although he didn't speak, he looked like he wanted to settle the account! Niu Erzhu cracked his mouth at that time, this table of meals with good soju, to say the least, it will cost ten oceans, how can you come up with so much money for an old man who eats vegetarian noodles? The guy was stunned for a moment, and then his face burst into laughter, and he shouted loudly to call the account room to settle the accounts, and the thugs at the staircase saw that someone was taking out the money, and their faces were relieved, and they relaxed one after another. Niu Erzhu was full of suspicion and was guessing the identity of the old man, but the old man walked in front of Da Shao, grabbed him, and said, "If you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?" "Listen to the voice is exactly the same as my grandmother's tone!
Niu Erzhu couldn't say a word at this time, the old man grabbed Da Shao, walked to the window in a few steps, and jumped down. Niu Erzhu's heart was like ashes, and he complained to the old man in his heart: "How can you be so reckless at such an age, you have to break your legs at the lightest jump!" "This is the end of it. I had no choice but to close my eyes and wait for death. Who knew that there was a gust of wind whirring in his ears, and his feet fell lightly to the ground, unscathed. Only then did Erzhu understand that the old man was a master, Da Shao stabilized his mind, and was about to reward him well, but who knew that the place where the two of them were standing was facing a hotel, and the upstairs guests washed their feet, and a basin of foot-washing water splashed down on their heads, all splashed on the old man. The old man wailed, as if he had been stabbed, a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he shook it a few times, and he actually became a paper man more than one person tall in front of Niu Erzhu! The one upstairs didn't see what was going on, thinking that someone had died, and he screamed like a pig. Niu Erzhu didn't slow down for a long time, he was stunned like a fool for a long time, and suddenly he was afraid of his thighs, this thing was torn pants and wrapped around his legs, and he couldn't explain it clearly when he said the flowers, what are you waiting for here, waiting for the patrol to catch him? At this time, there were already a lot of pedestrians around, and Erzhu lowered his head and ran down the street.
In the panic, Erzhu didn't care about the southeast and northwest, he ran violently, and he didn't know how far he ran, Da Shao really couldn't open his legs, he was out of breath and stopped to look, his heart was half cold, and he saw that the barren grass was miserable everywhere, and the wilderness was low, and it was actually a desolate and uninhabited open field. Niu Erzhu is a native of Tianjin, usually has nothing to do, wandering around, the ground is very familiar, there is no place in the city and outside the city that he doesn't know, but how to look at this place today, if you want to say that although the big and young run fast, the time is not too long, and you can't run out of the water and soil of Tianjin. Erzhu secretly called evil, looked left and right, fortunately no one chased him, so he simply squatted on the side of the road, lit the cigarette, and thought that he would take a breath first.
In the blink of an eye, the cigarette was finished, Niu Erzhu didn't dare to stay here longer, there was not even a shadow of a person in this ghost place, what happened to him, but he was not afraid of anything else, if he ran into someone who ate the old man and beat the lonely goose, maybe he couldn't even leave a corpse, for today's plan, it is important to find a way back to the city first.
Erzhu also has his own plans, no matter how desolate the place, there are also passers-by, with a mouth under his nose, politely inquiring about it, and it is not difficult to go home. But as it happened, Niu Erzhu turned around for a long time, and he didn't even catch a personal hair. Come and go, the sky can see dark, the wilderness, people and animals are nowhere to be seen, there are some wild grasses and wild trees outside, and secretly I don't know what beasts are screaming like ghosts, Da Shao's heart can start to hair, secretly said that this is not a place to spend the night, in the middle of the night to a wild cat beast is enough to drink a pot of their own, the heart of the check, no matter what direction, take a big stride forward, plan to find a place to stay overnight, back to the city tomorrow to talk about.
It is said that the plan of the big and young is not bad, but the days were sad, and people left everything else behind in order to eat with their mouths, and there were those who opened up wasteland in the wilderness, built a shack with their families, and lived near the left. As the so-called thieves also have a way, and those who rob the road in general, and those who beat the sticks do not beat these people's ideas, in order to have a place to rest and take refuge once they are left alone in the future. But people have to be unlucky, the frustrating things are one after another, Niu Erzhu walked so painfully that his feet hurt, but he didn't even meet a broken temple. Da Shao scolded his mother in his mouth, but he didn't dare to be idle under his feet, and moved forward step by step with the stars.
As I walked, there was a little fire in front of me, because it was too far away to see clearly. Niu Erzhu was happy in his heart, there must be someone with firelight, no one can hang out with a lantern at night, right? Da Shao was already tired and thirsty at this time, and when he saw the firelight, he was closer than his father, and he didn't think about anything else, so he walked down to the light with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
At this time, the sky is dark, the wilderness is hazy in the bleak moonlight, people are afraid of the dark in their bones, you don't have to admit it, the usual things don't look right at night, the trees and houses are like ghosts, if there is a gust of night wind, no matter how bold the person is in his heart, he can't think about it carefully, look at it carefully, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels infiltrated, Niu Erzhu walked for a while, the more uncomfortable he walked, the more his hair exploded, he was afraid, and he couldn't take care of the sore legs and feet, and his feet were getting more and more anxious, more and more chaotic, I just want to find that family early, even if I squat under the eaves of other people's houses for a night, my heart is stable. It's strange to say, Niu Erzhu's time to walk is not short, and his feet are not slow, but the light of the fire is still floating there not far away, flickering, and it seems that he can never get close. Niu Erzhu was anxious, his feet were even more chaotic, and he was rushing forward in a panic, when the next plate was suddenly empty, and a big horse lay on his stomach, fell to the ground, and only fell to the ground.
Erzhu almost didn't carry his breath, he couldn't get up for a long time, he finally sat up, and took a closer look, there was a big dirt pit under him, which was not deep, but it was very wide, and it was two zhang square, and I didn't know what it was for. Although the second pillar fell not lightly, his brain was also sober, and when the night wind blew, his body trembled violently, and his heart began to drum. It is said that he is not close, if the lamp is really a household, he should have seen some signs a long time ago, how can there be such a fog to see the flowers as if you can't see the head and tail, look up and look at the fire in the distance, it is still swaying, and the night is full of endless weirdness. Erzhu's heart trembled, didn't he meet the legendary ghost fire? Thinking of this, Niu Erzhu couldn't help but panic, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't help screaming in his mouth, who knew that it didn't matter, the firelight was actually stunned, and flew straight towards him, there were countless faces faintly in the firelight, his face was miserable and green and expressionless, and he was the same as a ghost, a lonely ghost, and a wild ghost!
