February 12, 2017, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
sunny.
At 12:13 noon, the waiter came to the door of Room 6017 of Yuezhou Hotel. After ringing the doorbell, he waited for a long time and saw no movement inside. The waiter knocked on the door again. After another half-ring, there was still no movement. After hesitating for a moment, the waiter loudly informed, took the spare room card, and opened the door.
There was no one inside the door.
Xu Shi disappeared.
The waiter frowned, checked the situation in the room, and left the room. Then, he walked to the equipment room not far away. After confirming that no one was around, he quietly opened the door of the equipment room and slipped in.
"Xu Shi disappeared. The suitcase he brought is still there, but I checked and found that all the important things are gone. He must have left quietly. Do you want to chase him?"
In the dim equipment room, the young face of the waiter lost the childishness before, only seriousness remained.
"The phone card is also missing."
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across the young face of the waiter, and he said, "This Xu Shi may not be reliable. How about I go?"
The person on the other end of the phone probably rejected him. The waiter's face looked a little aggrieved, but he hid it all in an instant and regained his composure.
When I walked out of the equipment room, I happened to meet the elder sister in charge of guest room hygiene passing by. Seeing him coming out of the equipment room, she asked in surprise: "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing in the equipment room?"
The young waiter scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled at the elder sister with a bit of flattery: "My girlfriend is insisting on making a fuss about video chatting with me. Sister, don't tell the manager, otherwise my salary will be deducted again!"
The eldest sister glared at him, but also responded. Finally, she told him earnestly not to do this again next time.
The young waiter known as Xiao Xiao responded hurriedly, then pointed to room 6017 and said: "The guests in that room have left. Sister, you go in and clean up."
The elder sister's attention was diverted, so she forgot about him coming out of the equipment room, and hurriedly pushed the car to room 6017.
Xiao Xiao took advantage of the machine to close the equipment room and hurried away.
When the eldest sister opened room 6017 and saw that there were many guests' things inside, and when she came out to check with Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao had disappeared.
Three days later.
A county.
It is more than 400 kilometers away from Tao County, and its economy is somewhat behind that of Tao County, but like Tao County, it is one of the important strongholds of the Tagang. In fact, because Ah County has a small population, a wide area, many uninhabited areas, and a longer border than Tao County, the frequency of Tag Gang activities in Ah County is much higher than in Tao County.
Xu Shi arrived in the afternoon.
In the past three days, in order to avoid dragging his tail behind him, he moved around a lot. Naturally, he didn't get much rest in between. The wound that was almost healed suddenly started to hurt again. This surprised him a little. He didn't expect that spending twenty days in Gayu Mountain would make him squeamish.
At around six o'clock in the evening, with the sun still hanging in the sky, Xu Shi opened the door of Xinhua Business Hotel and walked in.
The little girl at the front desk took a look at his ID card and asked with a little surprise: "You are here to celebrate the Chinese New Year?"
Xu Shi smiled and said, "That's right."
The little girl was very sensible and didn't ask any questions. After successfully recording the ID card information, she handed over the room card and ID card together: "Mr. Wang, I wish you a pleasant stay!"
After Xu Shi took it, he glanced at the room number displayed on the room card, frowned slightly and said, "Beauty, could you please help me change the room? I don't like odd numbers very much."
The little girl was stunned for a moment, but she didn't feel impatient. She smiled and agreed, then took the room card back and changed the room for him. Xu Shi took the room card that was handed over to him again, thanked him, and went upstairs with his schoolbag.
At nine forty-three, it was already dark outside.
Xu Shi went downstairs.
The little girl at the front desk was watching TV with her mobile phone. When she heard the noise, she raised her eyes and looked at him. After taking off the gray sheepskin jacket and putting on a slim down jacket, Xu Shi looked much more energetic and handsome, completely different from before. The little girl was stunned. When the person came in front of her, she suddenly came back to her senses and couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Beauty, let me ask you, is there anything delicious nearby?" Xu Shi asked with a smile. He was already good-looking, and his smile gave off a bit of bookish gentleness, which was a rare sight in the Northwest where most men looked rough.
The little girl's face became even more shy.
However, despite being ashamed, the little girl was very bold. She looked directly at Xu Shi without backing down and replied softly: "Go out here, turn left and walk about a hundred meters. There is a steamed stuffed bun shop. Their food is all delicious. If you are used to eating pasta, you can try it."
"I'm used to it! Thank you!" After Xu Shi finished speaking, he smiled at the little girl again, then turned and walked out.
When the door closed, I vaguely heard the little girl whisper: "So handsome!"
But at this time, Xu Shi's face had lost those gentle smiles, and only the indifference of not letting strangers in was left.
A few minutes later, Xu Shi found the bun shop that the girl at the front desk had mentioned. It had an inconspicuous door, but it was very spacious inside. As soon as I entered, the warm air hit my face, and my body, which was not cold yet, instantly felt warm.
Xu Shi took off his coat, ordered some special food, found an empty seat by the window and sat down.
Not long after I sat down, three people came in from outside.
The leader was a man with a shaved head. He was young, in his mid-twenties, and very tall, estimated to be over 1.85 meters tall. Followed by a man and a woman, the man is not short, the woman is wrapped in an expensive-looking fur coat, has long wavy fiery red hair, and is wearing heavy makeup.
As soon as the three of them came in, the man walking at the back shouted loudly and asked the boss to get them food. After sitting down, the woman first noticed Xu Shi sitting by the window. She probably felt that he was different from the men here, so her eyes stayed on him for a long time.
The tall man sitting next to him noticed it, and his expression was obviously unhappy.
"What are you looking at, so fascinated?" The man spoke in less than standard Mandarin with a very aggressive tone. The woman looked away, rolled her eyes at the man, and said, "Just take a look and see what's going on?" As she said that, she suddenly came closer to the man, pointed at Xu Shi, and lowered her voice and said, "That man doesn't seem to be from here."
Hearing this, the man looked towards Xu Shi again. After glancing back and forth at Xu Shi with a somewhat ferocious look, he looked back disdainfully. Then he raised his chin towards the other man and ordered: "Ask where it comes from! "
The other man nodded and stood up, walking towards Xu Shi.
In fact, their movements were in Xu Shi's ears, but he sat there without moving, not even turning his eyes. Until the man came closer and raised his hand to pat his shoulder, he suddenly moved and ducked away.
Then, he turned to look up at the man and said coldly: "Is something wrong?"
Xu Shi's eyes were as sharp as a knife, which startled the man. However, when he realized that he was frightened by the man with just one look, he probably felt that he had lost face, and suddenly became angry. The hand that had not been withdrawn grabbed Xu Shi's shoulder again.
Xu Shi frowned, turned sideways and slapped his hand back. With a snapping sound, the man held his wrist in pain and blurted out a dialect. Xu Shi couldn't understand the local dialect, but he could tell from the man's look and tone that this was definitely not a good word!
"I'm giving you shame, right?" The man yelled angrily again, turned around and picked up a chopstick holder on the table beside him, and was about to greet Xu Shi.
At this time, the shop owner came out. Seeing this scene, he shouted loudly: "Don't fight! Don't fight!" While shouting, the owner rushed over, blocked the man, pressed his raised hand, and used Fang Yan spoke quickly and persuaded Xu Shi in words that he couldn't understand.
"Third brother, what are you doing!" The tall man who had been silent before now spoke out, got up and walked over to them.
"Okay, put it down. I asked you to come over and ask me a question. You'd better start fighting with someone!" As he spoke, the tall man had already walked up to him. After giving the third child a cold look, he lowered his eyes. Put it on Xu Shi. After looking back and forth at Xu Shi with contemptuous eyes, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my little brother has a bad temper. I didn't scare you!"
Xu Shi was still sitting there. After hearing what he said, his eyes wandered over him and said coldly: "So what if you're scared? So what if you're not scared?"
The tall man probably didn't expect Xu Shi to answer like this. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed again, then raised his hand and patted the third child on the head, saying: "Second child, apologize to me!"
The third child was unwilling, but after taking a look at the smiling face of the tall man, he suddenly closed his mouth that he had just opened to argue a few words, and then bowed his head and apologized to Xu Shi honestly.
Xu Shi didn't even respond. He looked directly at the boss and said, "Please help me pack the things I just ordered!"
The boss nodded hurriedly.
The tall man stared at Xu Shi twice, then said nothing and led his younger brother Lao San back to his seat.
Not long after, the boss packed and delivered the things Xu Shi wanted. After Xu Shi paid the money, he took it out the door. As soon as he left, the tall man ordered the third child sitting opposite: "Go and call Xiaoshan and ask him to check on this person!"
When the third child heard this, his face suddenly showed a little joy: "Brother, are you going to mess with him?"
The tall man didn't answer his words, but turned to look at the woman next to him, and said with a faint smile: "Don't check out the man my little baby likes!"
When the woman next to her who was about to pick up her cell phone heard this, her hand couldn't help but tremble. She quickly turned around and explained softly: "Brother, I didn't like it! You know, I only have eyes for you!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand. I want to hug the man's arm.
But the man pushed her hand away, and then said coldly: "You can go back after eating something later."
The woman was completely panicked: "Brother, I really didn't like that man! I was just curious, so I took a second look! Brother, don't be angry with me, okay?" The woman explained in a panic and kept saying I want to lean on a man. At this moment, the man suddenly lost his patience. After pushing her away, he shouted at the third child: "Send her back!"
The third child looked at him and then at the woman. After all, he did not dare to say anything. He stood up and walked away quickly with the woman who was almost crying.
As soon as they left, the owner of the bun shop came over. With some caution, he bowed slightly and asked the man in front of him: "Brother Dao, do you still want to eat that food?"
"I'm not going to eat anymore. Pack it up and send it to Dynasty Entertainment." After saying that, the tall man stood up and walked out.
