Chapter 48 February 2

late at night The most unexpected change happened this afternoon, and I still feel creepy.The street is silent, only the whistling of the wind, intermittently.Nerves are excited, and I don't want to sleep for a while.I always look at the watch, and the hands move so slowly at that time.I wonder if N has reached the destination at this time?Were there any more unfortunate surprises? At around 6:00 this afternoon, F suddenly visited and said he invited me to the restaurant.I'm too lazy to go, but it's inconvenient to refuse.Recently, I feel that F has learned a bit of hooliganism here.

I still went to the so-called economical restaurant where "safety and convenience come first" and picked a seat near the door. "The air is better here," I said with a smile, "it's like a hot steamer inside." F asked me what wine I drank.I shake my head.In a place like this, I know, it's best not to eat anything.In fact, F can't drink, but he seems to have learned a few glasses of strong wine recently. He ordered half a catty of Daqu, poured me a full glass, and said with a strange smile: "This is not a problem for you. Everyone knows that you can drink quite well."

I pursed my lips and smiled, picked up the wine glass, and licked the tip of my tongue. I felt that the wine was very powerful, so I became wary.In social situations, I still have considerable experience in how to persuade people to drink without touching my lips. Today I have to come up with methods to deal with this friend. With my mind set, I took the offensive instead, changed my reticence to laughing and joking, and poured F a cup first.At this time, the restaurant is 80% full. I just feel that there are people walking behind me, and the smell even spreads to my neck.When the second dish came, I held a chopstick and brought it to F, pursed my lips and smiled at him, and raised the wine glass, but suddenly, F's eyelids twitched, his lips moved, and he made a grinning gesture.At the same time, I saw that his eyes were fixed on the diagonally opposite corner.A rather familiar old tomcat-like provincial accent came from behind me.

"Why..." I said softly, putting down my glass. But before F spoke, I understood what was going on.The woman's voice can also be heard, isn't it N, who else?The voice was cold, one could guess that he had suppressed his fire, and his face was covered with frost, as if to show others that he was inviolable. I turned around and took a look, and it turned out that N and two men were in the seat diagonally opposite.The one with a greasy face and a hint of alcohol is sipping a toast.The other one, with a monkey face, didn't know what he was saying, and he couldn't hear it, but judging by his expression, he was undoubtedly a poker.

I don't understand why N fell into the hands of these two men, nor when they came. F knocked on the plate and shouted: "Food, hurry up!" The voice was quite rough. This may be the meaning of "take the harp and sing".But maybe he planned to finish his meal hastily, and then walked away, so as not to cause trouble, and he didn't see what he didn't see. But the reaction over there came immediately.Old Tomcat's voice: "Do you want to drink it or not?" no answer.With a monkey face, he sneered loudly and said: "Old Wu, you should retreat quickly, don't be ashamed. If you don't look at the diagonally opposite side, how can she drink your wine here!"

"You need to speak more clearly!" This was N's angry voice. "Whether I want to drink or not is up to me, no one can interfere with me, no one can force me!" "Okay! I'm going to force you to drink this cup!" the old tomcat yelled.Dang clang, the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground.I turned my back to them, but from the sudden change of F's face, I guessed something about the situation there.I turned around sharply, and saw the old cleaver twisting N's arm, N was struggling, his face was as white as a piece of paper. "It's too outrageous, you can't just sit back and watch." I said to F. "Let's go over and persuade them!"

Without waiting for F to answer, I pulled him and walked over.The monkey-faced one saw it first, pushed the old man and said, "Here he is." He made another grimace. "It's so majestic to actually come out to interfere! I have to ask him, what qualifications does he have to meddle in our affairs? ——Oh, he brought a woman with him?" Apparently these few words were adding fuel to the flames. The so-called old swindler suddenly stood up, put his arms on his waist, turned his body sideways, blocked N inside, raised his face, and shouted at F: "Shameless!" , what are you?"

"Nothing." F remained calm. "I'm going to have a word with you." The old man sneered, seeing that F was so calm and neither overbearing nor humble, he seemed to have lost his mind, so he squinted at the monkey's face. F went on to say: "Comrade, this is a public place, and we should observe the situation. We should check ourselves and don't let others see the joke; the superiors know it. If you ask me, I say I'm not there, it's a lie. Lying is a serious mistake, I said I was there, but you have to blame me for not correcting it in time, I still can't shirk my responsibility. What I want to say to you is these few words!"

The old scorpion had no words to answer, but just sneered.Unexpectedly, the monkey said coldly: "Heh, heh, after a lot of lectures, who will resist? But, what did we do illegally that need to be punished? Come to a restaurant with a lesbian, Is that not acceptable? Who did that woman come with? Don't talk nonsense, who is a good guy and has the right to play bureaucrats! " "Yes! Damn, what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson!" the old man yelled strangely. At this time, there were quite a few people standing around behind us, and N planned to take this opportunity to highlight the old tae's sphere of influence, but the old tae pushed her back to the original place with one hand.

F couldn't bear it anymore, and replied sharply: "With my qualifications as a trainer, I can give you a warning!" There was silence for a few seconds. F added: "Now we can ask that lesbian, she..." With a clap, F's words were interrupted.It turned out that Lao Tae took out a pistol from his trouser pocket and threw it on the table. "Shameless!" the old man yelled. "Who are you to her? Do you have the right to interfere with her actions? See if I don't agree!" When I saw that things were going to get stiff, I stepped forward and said, "My family has something to say, so why use weapons! If the military police come, everyone will lose face."

The old clerk didn't make a sound yet, but the monkey face salivated and smiled first, raised his head and said, "Who is a lesbian, she is really beautiful!" Then he turned to me: "Who are you?..." I immediately stopped him and said, "There's no need for you to know!" "That night, oh, that night, if I hadn't had too much to drink, you wouldn't have run away; Well, I am here today..." I hurriedly took a step back.But spectators crowded behind him.The old guy had already held me back, laughing wildly: "What are you afraid of? You drink with the nine-headed bird,..." I struggled violently, but I accidentally lost my balance and bumped forward. The old one took advantage of the momentum and hugged me by the waist.All I could hear was thunderous laughter from all sides.Suddenly Pia!There was a shot.The old man let go of his hand.Then there was another ring!I caught a glimpse of N's face as white as paper, and her eyes caught me. The gun was still in her hand and she hadn't put it down.Immediately, the whole restaurant was like water poured into a frying pan.I saw Lao Wu yelled and grabbed F, and the two twisted into a ball.Taking this opportunity, I turned around and ran. But about twenty or thirty steps away from my apartment, I stumbled and fell down.I jumped up immediately, but it was a strange thing, my legs were like cotton, and I couldn't walk anymore. I sat in the dark by the side of the road, held my head in my hands, and my heart was still beating. "Isn't this my sister!"——When the voice woke me up, N was already squatting down next to me.I held her hand, but couldn't say a word. "Aren't you hurt?" N asked softly.I shook my head. "I'll go to your place." N said again, and helped me up.At this time, I also felt that my legs were not so soft anymore.Just then we saw two gendarmes hurrying past. After entering the room, N hugged me as if his whole body was limp and paralyzed, and buried his face in my arms.Neither of us spoke.There seemed to be a roaring sound in the distance. I opened my mouth first: "Where is Lao Wu's injury? Does it matter?" N raised his head and replied blankly, "I don't know either." "Then, when you came out—" "As soon as you left, I got away! I only saw people messing around." After a while, I said again: "When you fired the second shot, the monkey face must have seen it; tomorrow they want to shirk their responsibility, and they must have sacrificed you. What should we do about this matter?" "Let them go!" whispered N, hugging me tightly again. I was suddenly moved to tears.Gently stroking her hair, I put my mouth next to her ear and said, "Sister, thirty-six strategies, the best strategy is to walk! Get out of this circle!" N slowly raised his head, stared at me for a while, shook his head, and sighed again. "You must go," I said, leaning into her face. "How to go, I will arrange it for you." "But where shall I go?" "To my father. Or to your cousin." N lowered his head and remained silent.But I could feel her heart beating fast. "Travel expenses and so on," I said again, "you don't have to worry about it, it's all on me..." N's body shook, and she raised her head. Before she could speak, I said, "You don't have to be polite to me——" N's head shook, and I stopped her, and hurriedly said, "You call me What? If you don't listen to me, I won't recognize you as my sister!" N smiled: "But don't you want to go home too?" "Don't worry about it, I have a lot of ways!" N sighed and nodded, so we discussed what to do first.I looked at my watch, and it was only around seven o'clock, and it was still too late to enter the city overnight, but I had to take a rickshaw.We agreed: N will stay in hotel B when he comes to the city, and use C's pseudonym.The next day I went to the city to look for her again, and arranged the second step.I told her to take off her clothes and change mine. "Let's set up a puzzle," I added after telling my plan, "for the sake of safety. Leave it to me. You just go with your own!" N Everything depends on me.When she finally saw me put on an old cotton coat that was neither male nor female, she suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, where did this come from?" "It has a history," I replied while wrapping N's clothes and taking them with me. "Don't you know, I was in the team for a while. Now, I use this as a blanket." "Sister," N laughed again, "how did you learn these skills?" "Then it's a long story," I walked with her on my arm, "I'll tell you later." We quietly left the house and out into the street.There is no fog and it is not very cold. I sent N to a rickshaw.Then go to arrange the so-called "suspect array". At eight-thirty I was back at the flat again, but too excited to sleep. I don't know if N has arrived in the city at this time?But I'm sure she's safe voyage.
