I told you not to look for it but to find it. Rooms No. 12 and 13 are not together with this row of guest rooms. They are pure adobe houses outside. Don't look for them. You also let the guest sleep for half an hour. I will take you to find him again.
As soon as the waitress finished saying this, she saw the door of one of the two separate mud-brick houses open, and a middle-aged man walked out of it. He walked towards the small toilet at the back of the house. Pei Yan pointed at him and said to Hong Fafu that he is Mr. Zou. Let’s talk to him when he comes out of the toilet!
This is lunch break, so don't talk to the guests. The waitress frowned and prompted.
Hong Fafu touched the fruit knife hanging in the scabbard at his waist and asked Pei Yan, are you sure he is Mr. Zou? Pei Yan also answered in a rhetorical tone, "Can't you be sure?" He is a great benefactor who saved my life. If he cannot even recognize his benefactor, is he still a person?
Hong Fafu walked out of the hotel door and took a closer look. The two single adobe houses had convex and concave walls like candies that had been gnawed by mice. It's like the house was knocked down.
Hong Fafu's inner doubts were still unsolved. How could Mr. Zou, a wealthy jeweler, choose the worst hotel and stay in the worst guest room? He slowly and naturally analyzed a result: Mr. Zou may have too much money on him, and he is afraid that people will find out that he can only hide his wealth by pretending to be poor. He can keep a low profile when he goes out, so that he can stay safe.
When she saw Zou Hongxuan coming out of the toilet, Pei Yan asked if she wanted to get rich by going to him and saying some words of gratitude. Unexpectedly, Hong Fafu pulled her and said let's go! Let's go find a hotel on the street and get a room to stay with you first.
Didn't you say you wanted to find Mr. Zou? Why aren't you looking for it?
It’s time to look, but it’s not the right time yet. As Hong Fafu said, he left here and walked onto the street. Pei Yan followed him, but she didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
On the street, Hong Fafu looked around, and then he took Pei Yan into a hotel and got a room. They turned on the bathroom heater and took a bath together, then lay on the bed to rest.
Pei Yan couldn't sleep, but Hong Fafu soon started snoring. About an hour or two passed, I don't know exactly what time it was in the afternoon. Pei Yan quietly got out of bed, untied her little hands, and went out to ask the waiter for the time, only to find out that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She returned to the room, pushed and woke up Hong Fafu, who was sleeping soundly, and said that Fafu could go now. Hong Fafu asked sleepily, where to go?
Look, you forgot to go visit the benefactor who rescued me from the river yesterday? Pei Yan did not fall asleep again, but was already sitting on the chair next to the bed.
oh! Yes. Hong Fafu got up and did not put on his clothes immediately. Instead, he reached out and touched the trousers that he had put on the chair and saw that the scabbard containing a fruit knife was still buckled on the belt of his trousers. He smiled coldly, ran to the bathroom, turned around and returned to the bed. Just as he was about to lie down, Pei Yan said, "What did you do, you didn't go?" It's neither lunch break nor time to sleep at night. It's time to go see the benefactor and say thank you to him.
Not going yet. Hong Fafu said, gesturing for Pei Yan to accompany him. Pei Yan got up and sat by the bed, but Hong Fafu asked her to take off her clothes. After a gentle rush, Pei Yan washed herself and said to Hong Fafu, "Is it time to go now?"
No, no. Hong Fafu, who was lying on the bed again, replied. He had done that, and it was undoubtedly a waste of energy, and he was somewhat at a disadvantage and a little tired. Pei Yan saw that he was lying on the bed and refused to move, so she didn't rush him.
After it got dark, Hong Fafu got up and washed up, then went out with Pei Yan, leaving the hotel temporarily to eat supper at a cup stall outside. Pei Yan said, why don’t we invite our benefactor to have supper together? It's a thank you to him. Hong Fafu smiled indifferently and did not reply, but he thought in his heart: I wish I could kill him with one knife, and even treat him to a supper, which is almost as good as his own.
After supper, Pei Yan urged Hong Fafu to go with her to visit her benefactor who lived in Qiuchaxiang Hotel. However, Hong Fafu said it was still early and took her for a long walk in the brightly lit night market - the lively Lucheng Street. I also went shopping in the supermarket where Zou Hongzhi bought the new set of blue casual clothes for Pei Yan yesterday evening.
Pei Yan is a person who cares about human kindness. When she approached the wardrobe rack filled with new blue casual clothes, she couldn't help but pointed and said, Yesterday, I couldn't wear the wet clothes on my body, and Mr. Zou gave them to me here. Bought clothes to change into.
You should thank Mr. Zou. Where did Mr. Zou take you to change out of your wet clothes? Hong Fafu stared at Pei Yan and asked, but thought dirtyly in his heart: Zou Hongzhan treats you so well, doesn't he have some agenda? Isn't it just a dirty deal?
After leaving the supermarket, Pei Yan urged Hong Fafu to visit his benefactor at Qiuchaxiang Hotel, saying that it was neither early nor late, and it would be too late in a while. He was asleep, so how could he go to see him.
However, Hong Fafu said he didn't want to watch it now, and he didn't say why he didn't want to watch it now. He took Pei Yan back to the hotel where they had a room to rest. Pei Yan murmured from time to time, we took a ride from the countryside to the city today just to visit our benefactor. How come we found our benefactor who had the opportunity to see it, but then stopped seeing it?
I don’t want to watch it yet, it’s still early.
It's too early to be a robber.
Hong Fafu didn't want to explain. He approached the room window and looked out. There were many pedestrians and vehicles on the street downstairs. As if these pedestrians and vehicles had an impact on his imminent murder plan, he turned back to Pei Yan and said , are you in a hurry? Anyway, I’m going to see your benefactor tonight.
If it's too late, I won't go. It will affect other people's rest. Pei Yan felt a little angry, but Hong Fafu was able to pinch her, so she had no choice but to let him control her.
When Hong Fafu and his wife went downstairs to the hotel door, the waiter on duty asked, "Why are you out so late?" Can you still turn around? If you don't transfer, you can check out.
Pei Yan didn't know how to answer, she stood there looking at Hong Fafu. Hong Fafu's mind turned quickly and he immediately lied. We took a walk to the riverside and sat for a while at night. There was something left there. It was so late, so I asked my wife to accompany me to find it. At this point, Hong Fafu was like a movie actor getting into his role, with a trace of smile on his face. He continued, if he didn't look for it, he would be in trouble if passers-by found him and took it away at dawn tomorrow morning.
Well, go find it! The waiter believed what he said and waved his hand forward as if to see them off.
Hong Fafu said thank you for your concern, turned around, and went onto the street with his wife and walked straight towards Qiuchaxiang Hotel.
At this moment, a strong wind blew for no apparent reason, and the branches on the roadside were blown with a snapping sound. It also blew Pei Yan's shawl hair up and up to her cheeks, as if there was some commotion, and she felt itchy. Yes, I felt a little uneasy.
The strong night wind was blowing, like a pair of hands stroking the sheath containing the fruit knife on Hong Fafu's waist, so that its outline edges stood out clearly under the illumination of the street lamp.
When we arrived at the Qiuchaxiang Hotel, we were closer to the river bank. The night wind seemed to be blowing harder, and we could still hear the whining sound it made. The two doors of Qiuchaxiang Hotel have been closed. Perhaps to avoid the dust outside, they are not closed completely and there is still a gap left. On normal nights when there is no strong wind, at most only one door is closed because it is open at night. , and the lights are on all night and someone is on duty.
Of course, Hong Fafu would not walk towards the door of the hotel with a gap. When she came here, Pei Yan stood still. It was so late and she really didn't want to disturb the sleeping soundly man Zou who rescued her from the river. Red delete. But Hong Fafu pulled her. As he approached the two separate dilapidated bungalows, Hong Fafu stopped and quietly said to Pei Yan, knock on the door, don't say I'm here.
Pei Yan hesitated for a while and said to him, "We came here specially to thank our benefactor, why didn't you show up?"
