Back at the restaurant, the tiredness of a busy day surged into my mind. I sat down first and got a glass of water to drink. After a while, Old Gao came back.
"Sent Xiaoyi back?"
"Yes."
"Are you okay on the way?"
"It's okay. How about you?"
"Nothing, either."
"I'm fine." I don't think the curly-haired youths will be bothering us anymore.
I looked at Old Gao again and asked doubtfully, "Why are you back?"
Old Gao didn't answer my question immediately. He paused, took out a cigarette and started smoking. He pulled out a chair and sat down. After taking a puff, he said to me, "Do you think something is wrong today?"
"Something's wrong? Where?" I frowned.
"First, the guests in a private room were exempted, then someone molested Xiaolian, and two things happened in a day!" Old Gao had some suspicion in his eyes.
I didn't feel anything at first, but now that I heard Old Gao's analysis, I suddenly felt a little abnormal. I asked again, "What do you mean by that?"
Old Gao shook his head and replied, "Maybe I was thinking too much. Forget it. Go to sleep."
"Oh."
I didn't think too much. Old Gao stood up after smoking the cigarette in his hand and was ready to leave. I followed him to the door. Old Gao thought about it and finally said to me, "I always feel that things are not going well these days. Let's pay more attention."
I sensed the worry in Old Gao's words and nodded solemnly. Now that there were a lot of things going on, nothing could ever happen again.
After Old Gao left, I closed the door and went back to the backyard.
I wanted to call Ding Ge, but it was too late. I was afraid she would disturb her when she fell asleep, so I decided not to call.
I think of Hu Zi again. He's been out of touch with us for more than a day, and I don't know where he is now. Where do you live at night?
His heart felt like a huge rock, heavy!
...
The next day, the sun gradually rose, and the gentle sun gradually enveloped the entire land. It was almost spring, and the weather had obviously warmed up a lot, but in the morning it was still a bit chilly. I stood in the backyard and had a cold war, and after returning to my senses, I washed up.
In the morning, I called Lin Ya, asked about Ding Ge, and then asked about the photo shop. Lin Ya and Ding Ge had nothing to do. They lived a warm and peaceful life.
Calm, sometimes it's really a very happy thing.
I suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Ya, "Has Ji Ze been looking for you again in the past two days?"
"Guess!" Lin Ya sighed at my words and said helplessly.
I also curled my lips. It seems that Ji Ze's will is as strong as steel this time!
Lin Ya asked about Hu Zi as usual. We didn't talk much and hung up after a while.
I called Ding Ge again. It took Ding Ge a long time to answer the call.
Her tone was still a little boring, and she asked me feebly, "What's the matter?"
When I heard her voice, I really wanted to go over and accompany her, but when I thought of what Old Gao said last night, I felt a little disappointed, so I could only comfort her, "Are you holding back again?"
"What do you think?" Ding Ge's voice was soft, like a patient's. In fact, he was a patient.
"Does your arm still hurt?"
"Just like that, it doesn't hurt too much."
After thinking about it, I said, "Shall I make you some ribs soup today?"
"No need. I just drank it."
"No, it's been two days."
"That's too much to drink. It's more like drinking once a week."
Well, since Ding Ge said so, let's make her ribs soup once a week.
"Okay, no problem. Be careful, don't forget to take your medicine."
"I know." Ding Ge sighed and said to me, "I'm going to work tomorrow."
When I heard Ding Ge's words, I was shocked. Ding Ge had only been at home for a few days. How could he go to work? I quickly replied, "No, no, no. How could you go to work? What's your situation? Can you go to work? You'll be in a trance and have a good rest at home for a few days."
"I've really had enough rest."
"Does the girl know you're going to work?"
"I don't know!"
I guessed that this was Ding Ge's decision, and I quickly stopped him, "You can't go to work tomorrow. You should at least wait for your arm to stop hurting."
I kept telling dinger not to think about going to work, but I didn't know if Ding Ge was listening. I think I need to go to lin ya's house and talk to Ding Ge in detail.
Then he hung up.
Time continued to move forward.
At noon, things happened again.
Here's the thing. There was a table of guests, sneaky, one after another, heading out. If it wasn't for Old Gao's reminder yesterday, I probably wouldn't have cared. After a closer look, it became more and more obvious that they wanted to escape the order. Seven or eight guests at a table ordered a large table of food, which was not cheap, but after almost eating, one after another, someone got up and walked out.
Absolutely abnormal!
The guests were sitting in the lobby downstairs, and Old Gao and I noticed them. After a while, there was only one person left on the table, a shorter man.
This person picked up his phone and walked out the door. This is the last person. Of course, we can't let him go.
So Old Gao and I followed, and the man walked over, put his phone in his ear, and called.
He walked out the door, and the two of us followed him to the door. The short man also noticed the two of us. At first, he didn't pay any attention to us. The two of us also stood silently aside, not caring about him. As long as he didn't leave, we couldn't do anything to him for the time being, but now we have to guard him.
After a while, the short man put down the phone and walked towards us. His face was unkind. He pointed at us and said, "What's wrong with you two? What are you doing?"
"Nothing." I smiled faintly.
"Why are you two always following me when I make a phone call?" The short man's voice grew louder and louder.
"You haven't paid the bill yet."
"I know I didn't pay the bill. I owe you this money. It's so noisy inside. Can I make a phone call? I'll pay the bill after the call. Why do you keep looking at me like that? You're getting in my way, you know?" The short man roared at both of us.
I took a deep breath and suppressed my anger. We have to respect each other. If you understand us, we can understand you. All of you are gone. If you come out and make a phone call, we won't watch.
It's easy to earn money these days!
"I understand. I'm sorry." In the past, Old Gao was the most impatient among us, but today he still said with a smile on his face, "It's not easy for us to open a small restaurant, is it? You're the only guest left at your table, and we can't help it. We won't stop you either. Let's stay away from you. If you call, we'll just stand here for a while."
With that, Old Gao reached out for a cigarette.
Reaching out to stop smiling, the short man seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.
All of a sudden, he seemed less confident. He looked at the two of us and said, "Actually, this meal was bought by someone else. I shouldn't have paid for it."
As soon as I heard it, I understood that I still wanted to escape.
"But now you're the only one left."
"No, they'll be back soon."
"You're lying to a ghost!" I finally couldn't help it. This lie was so fake that it was so damn annoying.
The short man gave me a hard look, and I didn't try to be polite to him anymore, "If you don't pay for the meal today, you can't leave."
The short man looked a little weak.
I can't help but feel angry. The hotel has been in trouble for the past two days. Could Old Gao have guessed right? It's not a coincidence. Could someone have deliberately set us up?
Damn!
I clenched my fists. I don't think anyone really wants to deal with our restaurant.
At this moment, Old Gao suddenly said to the short man, "Someone asked you to come, right? Let you have a meal at our restaurant and then run away, right?"
"How is that possible? What happened to a group of our friends having dinner at your restaurant?"
"Stop it. There must be at least two people at that table you don't know. You only stayed at the end because you were running slowly. How dare you say that no one has instructed you?"
"I really don't know what you're talking about." The short man pursed his lips and continued, "There's something I don't know. That's my friend's friend. We won't run away from the bill. What are we running away from? Forget it. I was invited, but they left. I paid for the meal. I paid for it."
As he spoke, the short man reached out for his wallet and said, "Damn, someone set it up today. What kind of friend is this? Let me invite you if you want me to."
"How much is it?" The short man patted his wallet and said, "Money!"
Old Gao looked at me and said, "Xing Yun, how much do you want to see them?"
I nodded and walked back to the restaurant. I turned my head and took a look outside, but it didn't matter. Just before I entered the restaurant, the short man took the opportunity to run away.
Damn, he ran away!
Old Gao chased after him, and I ran out of the restaurant as fast as I could. Fortunately, Old Gao ran so fast that after running more than ten meters, Old Gao held down the short man.
Good job!
I couldn't help but praise in my heart.
When I got there, Old Gao pinned the short man down. The short man screamed but could not resist Old Gao. When he saw me running over, his face became even more desperate.
He began to beg for mercy, "Please let me go. Please!"
"Run! Why don't you run!"
"Stop running, stop running!"
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Old Gao asked again, apparently still thinking that someone was targeting us on purpose.
