Chapter 4 second quarter

Big Beard Food Stall is a very influential restaurant in T City. It is different from ordinary food stalls on the roadside in other cities. This is a serious shop, located in a small two-story building in the downtown area of ​​T City. Next to the western-style building is a narrow one-way road. On both sides of the already not spacious road, there are all kinds of cars parked, and many bicycles have to pass through here, so this place has become a real place. "A road in Huashan since ancient times". Therefore, when every car driver passes by here, he is cautious, for fear that if he shakes the steering wheel a little, it will cause a car scratching accident.

The four walls of the western-style building are painted with brick-red paint, and when illuminated by green lights at night, it shows a strange color, and every window of the building is inlaid with stained glass like the one in the church.After a few refractions of light, it feels very strange to passers-by here. The stairs connecting the two floors are external and completely made of wood. When people walk on it, it creaks, which makes people feel a reminder to be careful everywhere.The ceiling of the room is only two meters away from the ground, which is even more depressing.There are not many seats upstairs and downstairs, and the density of tables is extremely high. Customers often do not know each other, but they have to sit back to back.

However, almost no one who comes here complains about these shortcomings, because the food here is cheap and delicious, so there are many cheap customers here every day, especially favored by many middle school students and college students. However, the noisy environment and the mixed flow of people around have blocked the tasteful white-collar workers from the door. And this place has really become a stage for the true performances of the urban bottom groups.The environment here seems to have been deliberately created by the operator.Swearing and swearing have become commonplace here, and all kinds of people speak loudly here without any scruples. Compared with those western food restaurants and warm houses, I don't know how many times more "frank" they are.

Lin Ling walked in here, thinking in her heart that this is like a city's liver, all toxins seem to be filtered here.But without it, the city cannot become a paradise of beauty and neatness. ——Without filth and sin, the world would no longer be complete and real. Lin Ling didn't wear more orthodox white-collar clothing, but wore jeans—because the weather was very cold at night, she deliberately put on a black windbreaker over her jacket. However, it is very rare for a beautiful woman like her to appear here alone in orthodox attire, which naturally caused many men to peek at it maliciously.

There is no such thing as "reservation" in this kind of place, as long as there is a seat, sit down, and if there is no seat, you have to wait.Sometimes there are even a large group of people standing, looking straight at the guests who are eating well at the table, urging them to finish eating and leave quickly, making the diners very uncomfortable. Lin Ling came quite early, and there were still many empty seats.She saw three boys who looked like high school students sitting in a corner, seeming to be talking about something; they were all wearing the same sportswear—probably old school uniforms.

Lin Ling sat behind this table, sitting back to back with one of the thin high school students.The waiter delivered the menu, then ignored Lin Ling, and was busy with other things. It's been a long time since I've been here. The dilapidated tabletop is covered with a thick plastic sheet that has long been burnt yellow.The chair squeaks when you sit on it, and the dishes are still watery, giving people an unhygienic feeling.Sitting here, Lin Ling felt as if nothing had changed, the food stall was still the same, with a rustic atmosphere rarely seen in the city. There is still a quarter of an hour before six o'clock, and Hu Yuyan should be there soon, so she is not in a hurry to order food, but spends more time listening to the world's other sounds besides the beauty, which is also the most basic quality of a reporter.

The middle school students behind were talking loudly, and Lin Ling heard that they seemed to be talking about some sexual experience. For high school students who have never received systematic education, this has long been a favorite topic of conversation among them. "Are you really with that post-90s guy?" A voice came from behind. "Why am I lying to you!" This was the voice of the high school student behind Lin Ling. "Awesome! Tell me, how did you trick that little beauty into bed?" The tone of the third high school student seemed urgent. "I'm handsome! Girls like my hairstyle now." The high school student behind him said with a confident sense of superiority.

"Fuck you! I don't know what kind of tricks you have played, but that chick is indeed sweet enough, especially her breasts are big enough, she doesn't look like her age, I want to try it too! Hahaha." The high school student's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing. Listening to what these boys said, Lin Ling felt that she seemed to be sitting in the wrong seat, but it was rare to have the opportunity to hear such a conversation, so she was not going to change seats again. "It's just you? Don't piss and take pictures! You are so ugly, which little girl would like you?"

"You don't come here! That little girl is probably interested in you because your father is rich!" "Hey hey! It's good to be rich! My dad said it!" "It is said that your father divorced your mother and found a beautiful young mother to come home." "Say it again, kid... I'll tear your mouth apart!" The thin high school student seemed very angry at what his classmate said just now. "Okay, hey, tell us about what happened last night, we can't wait! Listening to you is much more enjoyable than watching porn!" "Last night? I prepared a little something—bought from the Internet—called fly water, and mixed it in her Coke. As a result, she behaved like a kitten!"

Lin Ling blushed when she heard this, but the group of high school students didn't intend to stop at all. The thin high school student behind him continued to show off his sexual skills and various movements he learned in porn, and the more he talked, the more vigorous he was, As if very experienced. Lin Ling likes to listen to the voices of the public, but it is unbearable for her to speak obscene words without blushing in front of the public at such a young age.So, she was going to leave this table and go to a table farther away. But just as Lin Ling was about to stand up, she heard several other people walking behind her, their voices were thicker than those of the three high school students just now.

"It's amazing! It's so early for someone to open the buds!" said a voice in a sultry voice. Lin Ling suddenly felt a kind of pressure, she didn't stand up, but sat and listened to the conversation of the people behind. "What are you doing? I'm talking, what's your business?" The voice of the high school student who just showed off his sexual experience. "It's none of our business, but the brothers forgot to bring their wallets when they came out today. Don't you have money at home? I'll ask you to borrow some and help us settle today's bill." "Check out? Are you kidding me? Why?" the thin high school student said angrily. There was only a "slap", and Lin Ling felt that the high school student behind her had been beaten, and it sounded like he had been hit hard on the face. "Damn it, you dare to hit someone!" The thin high school student was still stubborn. Immediately afterwards, there were two loud slaps, and the high school student who had been back to back with Lin Ling just now fell across Lin Ling's sight.Lin Ling knew that if she didn't withdraw at this time, she might be in trouble. However, when she just stood up, she felt a chill behind her back, and a stream of icy liquid splashed on the back of her head, and her coat obviously suffered from the pouring of liquid. The weather was already cold and wet, which made Lin Ling very depressed. She turned around angrily and looked behind her. Three gangsters wearing black skull pattern jackets were surrounding two other high school students. One of the gangsters with dyed blond hair held an open bottle of beer in his hand, and it was he who spilled the beer on Lin Ling. The emaciated high school student who fell on the ground, with red cheeks, had long since lost the air he had just now. Judging from the way he glared at the "golden retriever", it was probably the "golden retriever" who hit someone just now. "You guys are so disgraceful, you poured it all on me!" Lin Ling began to reprimand these guys. "Golden Retriever" turned his head and glared, "Smelly bitches, stop talking nonsense, you're looking for a beating!" As he spoke, he raised the wine bottle in his hand and made a gesture of smashing it. The chains jingled. Lin Ling closed her eyes subconsciously. Although she knew that these guys might not dare to attack, she was still scared for a while. The wine bottle didn't fall down, and what Lin Ling waited for was a familiar voice. "What a skill!" The voice was calm and deep. Lin Ling opened her eyes excitedly, and found that Hu Yuyan was standing in front of her, and his hand had already firmly grasped the hand of "Golden Retriever" holding the wine bottle, no matter how "Golden Retriever" struggled to break free, it would not help. And just as the other two gangsters were about to come up to rescue "Golden Retriever", Hu Yuyan turned around, one hand had already strangled "Golden Retriever" by the neck, while the other hand was still firmly grasping his wrist, this series of movements hurt The golden retriever howled.Seeing this, the two gangsters knew that they had met someone they couldn't afford to offend, so they didn't dare to move forward. "Brother, I offended you because I don't know Taishan with my eyes! You always hold your hands high!" "Golden Retriever" begged, and because his throat was stuck by Hu Yuyan, he spoke intermittently. With Hu Yuyan around, Lin Ling naturally felt that she was already safe.She patted the "Golden Retriever" on the head first, and then stood behind Hu Yuyan, feeling like a fox pretending to be a tiger. Hu Yuyan stopped entangled with "Golden Retriever", but pushed him to the opposite side.The three gangsters looked like rabbits that had just escaped from the claws of an eagle. They ran away without daring to look back. As soon as they ran away, the owner of the food stall rushed out and shouted: "You bastards haven't paid the bill yet!" Hu Yuyan didn't care about that, walked up to the thin high school student, squatted in front of him, and smiled, "Did you really use fly water?" The high school student was frightened by the scene just now, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, and was stunned for a long time. Hu Yuyan grabbed the high school student on the ground by the collar of his school uniform, and slapped him four more times.The force of these four slaps was obviously much heavier than that of the gangster just now, and the high school student's nosebleed immediately flowed out. The high school student who was able to fight against the gangsters just now became completely cowardly in front of Hu Yuyan, "Brother, I have never used that thing, I just like to brag! When I meet a beautiful girl, I like to fantasize, and then I make up some stories." Come to deceive people, show off." Hu Yuyan grabbed the high school student's vitals, making the high school student's expression painful. "You don't look like that piece of material!" Hu Yuyan let go of him, then turned around and grabbed Lin Ling's arm behind him. Lin Ling had long been stunned by what Hu Yuyan did just now. She never thought that the former detective who had repeatedly solved strange cases would have such a ferocious side. "I'm sorry, I chose the wrong place for dinner!" Hu Yuyan smiled, as if nothing happened just now. "Hurry up and change to another one! It's too messy here." Lin Ling said, picked up her schoolbag, and was about to walk out of the food stall, but she seemed to bump into something under her feet. Looking down, it turned out to be a sparkling bracelet with the words "C&L" engraved on the chain.Lin Ling remembered that this seemed to be the thing in the hand of the "golden retriever" just now.It may be that Hu Yuyan used too much force just now and broke the bracelet. At this time, the waiter hurried over, "Miss, you haven't settled the bill yet?" "Pay the bill? I haven't eaten yet!" Lin Ling said with no anger on her face, she picked up the bracelet and put it in her pocket.
