There is only one hotel in dayongshan Town, not to mention the hot water bath. In the house whose walls have been whitewashed, there is only one hard plate window and a small cabinet. There is nothing else.
Shen Yinbing originally planned to stay in the hotel for one night. Tomorrow morning, she would go to find out where the second aunt lives. Seeing the conditions in the hotel, she immediately changed her mind and took Su Qing's complaint from the landlady (if you don't stay in the hotel, why do you come in here? Isn't it intentional to play tricks on others?) Came out.
"Mr. Shen, do you want to find a place to eat first?"
Su Qing looked up at the front, pointed to the light and said, "it's like a small restaurant over there."
Shen Yinbing was already hungry after tossing all the way. Although she guessed that the quality of the food in the small restaurant was worrying, she couldn't be empty.
Fortunately, the hygiene in this humble looking small hotel is not bad, and the waitress who carries dishes is not as sloppy as the hostess who owns the hotel.
Shen Yinbing ordered scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried garlic sprouts, a flavored eggplant and two nights of white rice.
Maybe he was really hungry. Shen Yinbing thought that the food taste was OK. It was not inferior to the delicacies he had eaten in a big hotel before. For the first time, he ate a large bowl of white rice.
"I'll go to the bathroom."
Take out a few pieces of paper from the carton and wipe your mouth. Shen Yinbing says something to Su Qing and walks into the bathroom.
In the past, when President Shen went out on business, he usually took Xiao Song and sunspot with him.
Today, when she came to Pingbei, Xiao Song also came, but she stayed in Beihai and helped another vice president deal with the business of the company.
As for sunspot - since she was wounded and hospitalized by gangsters in the disco last time to save Shen Yinbing, Shen Yinbing let Su Qing take his place and become her new "bodyguard.".
After sunspot was hospitalized, he was arranged in the best ward, but Shen Yinbing didn't go to see him. He only asked Xiao Song to send him 10000 yuan and a bank card with 500000 yuan in it.
She has no face to see sunspot, and she doesn't want sunspot to see her. She won't see her again in the future. The 500000 yuan is her compensation for dismissing sunspot.
Of course, sunspot understood Shen Yinbing's meaning. He didn't accept the bank card, and asked Xiao Song to bring it back, as well as his resignation report.
After he was demobilized, Heizi was recruited into Beishan group by Subei mountain. Over the years, he worked hard for his father and daughter, but he was dismissed in order to save his boss. His heart had been hurt and he didn't want to accept any more of her favors.
When Shen Yinbing saw the bank card, he was stunned for a long time, and then signed on sunspot's resignation report.
Shen Yinbing would never have done this before, because she knew how loyal sunspot was to her.
Now Shen Yinbing is no longer the simple general manager Shen. Her psychology has begun to distort.
The toilet in a small hotel is what people often call a thatched cottage. The way of squatting, whether it looks or smells, makes Shen Yinbing feel sick.
However, this did not interfere at all. She took out a small bottle and put a pinch of powder into her mouth.
A few minutes later, Shen Yinbing, who is much better, returns to the dining table. As soon as he sits down, he hears Su Qing say in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, the people in this hotel are weird."
The corner of Shen Yinbing's eye jumped and asked quietly, "what's weird?"
Su Qing took chopsticks to pick up the rice in the bowl and whispered: "I have observed carefully just now. Although the waiter was dressed in ordinary clothes and spoke with local accent, her eyes should not be that of a rural woman. When the restaurant owner walked past me just now, he was smoking Chinese cigarettes. After smoking only a small part, he bounced out with his hands."
It's not unusual for a restaurant owner to smoke Chinese cigarettes. What's unusual is that he shouldn't be a boss in Dayong mountain. The Chinese cigarettes, which cost two or three yuan, can be eaten and drunk by the common people for a day. Who would be willing to smoke them?
Even if someone is willing to smoke, who will just throw away half of it?
When Shen Yinbing thinks about it, he knows what's going on: the boss and the waiter are the people sent by the military to wait for Ye Xin's injury. There should be others.
"Did they pay attention to us?"
After Shen Yinbing asked this sentence, he knew it was superfluous.
Like her and Su Qing's clothes, they are absolutely eye-catching in the town. There's no reason why people don't pay attention to them.
Now that she has been noticed, Shen Yinbing doesn't care. She raises her hand and says, "pay the bill."
After eating in a restaurant, countrymen buy out. It's usually called checking out or settling accounts. Only in the city can they say paying.
The waitress, who was whispering with her boss, came up and said with a polite smile, "two, three dishes, two rice. It's twenty-three yuan in total."
"Twenty three dollars?"
Shen Yinbing Leng next: "so cheap?"
Twenty three yuan, even in those small restaurants in the city, seems to be not enough for a stir fry, but here it is three dishes and two rice, which shows how low the consumption level here is.
"Ha ha, our food is cheap."
After receiving Shen Yinbing's banknote and making a quick change, the waitress asked casually: "are you here to visit relatives or to find someone?"
Su Qing was the first to reply: "I went out from this town and lived in the northwest. This time I came back to visit my grandparents' graves. What, are you from town, too? Why haven't I seen you before? Where's Xiaofang, who used to serve dishes in the restaurant? "
"Sister Xiaofang?"
The waiter stayed and shook his head with a smile: "ah, you said Xiaofang, she quit when I came here. I heard that she also went to work outside."
"Oh, so it is."
Su Qing stood up and said to Shen Yinbing, "cousin, let's go. Shall we go back to our hometown or go to a hotel tonight?"
Shen Yinbing light said: "do not go to the hotel, there is not much health."
Now there's no need for Su Qing to explain anything. Shen Yinbing also knows that there's something wrong between the hotel owner and the waiter, because Su Qing has never been here. Of course, she doesn't know what the so-called Xiao Fang is. She just said that to test the waiter.
However, even if Shen Yinbing knew that there was something wrong with the two waiters, she could not change anything. She came out of the hotel and walked along the street for more than 100 meters. Then she turned around and walked into an alley. She came to the third wooden door and told Su Qing: "knock on the door."
Shen Yinbing didn't tell Su Qing why she came to Dacong mountain.
Su Qing didn't ask, but according to Shen Yinbing's meaning, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. A dog barked.
"Who is it?"
A minute later, an old man in an overcoat, holding a flashlight, opened the door of the courtyard, took photos of Shen Yinbing and asked, "who are you looking for?"
The old man speaks with the same accent as the hostess. He is a local.
Shen Yinbing took out a box of good cigarettes and handed it to him: "Sir, we want to ask you about someone."
Seeing the good cigarette handed by Shen Yinbing, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "asking about people? Who? You said, as long as you live in the town, there is nothing I don't know. "
"Her name is Dong Cuihua. She is 52 years old. She seems to be single. She has a nephew who is a soldier..."
As soon as Shen Yinbing said this, the old man knew who it was: "ah, you're talking about the second aunt of the Ye family. She lives in the thatched cottage in the northwest of the town. Her family is surrounded by a fence. Hehe, do you want me to take you
"Oh, thank you, old man."
Shen Yinbing quickly took out another box of cigarettes and handed them over.
"Hey, it's just a way. How dare you be so polite?"
The old man refused, packed two boxes of cigarettes, turned to the other side of the room, yelled something, pulled his coat and came out: "for so many years, except for ER Gou and some of his comrades in arms, no one has found his second aunt every year. This year, it's strange that someone asked me about her two days ago. Well, it's also a good cigarette, but they're not as generous as your daughter. I only gave them one, and I didn't take them myself. "
The old man nagged, flashlights in front of the road: "girl, are you two dog's friends?"
"Two dogs?"
Shen Yinbing raised his hand and dug his left ear: "who is er Gou, sir?"
"It's the boy of the Ye family, the soldier. It seems that his name is ye. His name is very strange. He doesn't look like our countrymen at all."
"Is it ye Xinshang?"
"Yes, yes, that's the name, ye Xinshang."
The old man nodded and began to murmur: "everyone says that Er Gou, oh, ye Xinshang is an officer outside. If he earns a lot of money, it's time to take her over to provide for the aged. Alas, but the second aunt didn't go. She said that she would not enjoy the happiness of guarding the grave for the Ye family's ancestors at home. "
"Girl, I'll tell you, er Gou's father is also very powerful. It's said that he is also a senior officer in the army, but his life is not so good. The young one got sick and died, and his daughter-in-law died soon. Er Gou, who was only a few years old, was sent to our town."
The old man showed off his news and said: "Er Gou didn't call Er Gou when he was a child, but he was very weak, and his aunt was afraid that he would not live long, so she gave him such a name. Under the care of the second aunt, er Gou's body is growing stronger day by day, but his second uncle had an accident when he was four years old. He was bitten by a snake when he went up the mountain. "
Ye Xinshang's second uncle was bitten by a snake, and died on the way out of the mountain without supporting to the town.
The second aunt has no children. The successive deaths of the two brothers of the Ye family have dealt her a great blow. A hundred days after her husband died, she refused all the people who advised her to remarry and concentrated on raising ye Xinshang.
Ye Xinshang was nine years old when his father's old comrades in arms picked him up.
At the beginning, she wanted to pick up the second aunt, but she didn't want to leave.
After ye Xinshang was taken away, he got to know Qin Ziyang. Because of his secret love for others, he vowed to become a powerful man. After unremitting efforts, he finally became the purple dragon in the king of Kowloon.
Ye Xinshang once wanted to take her second aunt to live in the city after she became famous. But over the years, she has long been used to living alone. She not only refuses to go to the city, but also refuses to build a house for her. She only hopes to live in the old house for the rest of her life.
Although Dacong mountain is a little poor, the local customs are very simple. The people in the town take good care of the second aunt.
When someone came to inquire about her two days ago, the old man thought she was going to be taken to the city.
When the old man talked about ye Xinshang's life experience, he came to the northwest corner of the town and pointed to a thatched cottage that looked very isolated: "look, that's Ye's second aunt's home. Maybe she's already asleep. Would you like me to call her up for you?"
"Thank you, sir. No, we can call her by ourselves."
Shen Yinbing refused the old man's kindness: "uncle, be careful on the way back."
