A large bowl of braised beef ramen, add meat and eggs. Pull the noodles into thin sheets.
Several garlic cloves have been peeled, two are held in the palm of the hand, and one is pinched between the fingers.
A bite of noodles, a bite of soup, and a bite of garlic.
At this time, after 10 o'clock in the evening, only this small shop called [Ramen Guo] is still open downstairs.
The wind started to pick up outside, with waves of warm wind blowing, carrying a slight smell of moisture.
In this weather, it might rain again.
At the end of April, Jinling City has begun to enter the rainy season. The feeling of humidity in the air always makes people's noses itchy.
Chen Nuo finished eating the noodles, drank half of the soup, and sighed happily.
"Boss, please put more meat next time." Chen Nuo paid with a smile.
"Can I put a cow in for you?" The boss rolled his eyes unhappily: "Do you know that the price of beef has been rising!"
Chen Nuo smiled and handed over a cigarette. The boss took it without smoking and glanced at it: "Oh, China."
He clamped it on his ear and waved his hand: "Come on, hurry up, I'm about to close."
Unlike most Hui people who come to the south to open ramen restaurants, this boss is a Han, a middle-aged man with a very honest appearance. It is said that he served as a soldier in the northwest when he was young.
Chen Nuo walked out of the noodle shop, hands in his pockets, and walked on the road at night.
It has been two days since the motorcycle was loaned out.
**The guy who was my student strangely didn't show up at school. He skipped class.
Chen Nuo didn't think much about it... Isn't it normal for students like Brother Haonan to skip class?
I just came back from Teacher Jiang's house tonight. My **student classmates still didn't show up, and Chen Nuo became slightly curious.
Hmm... you'll always get into trouble with your motorcycle and run away, right?
Just when he thought of this, Chen Nuo walked to the gate of the community and saw a taxi stopped.
A woman in very gaudy clothes stumbled out of the car, turned around and waved to a man in the car.
"Brother Zhang, thank you for sending me this gift! I'll see you next time."
Three to five meters away, Chen Nuo smelled a pungent smell of perfume - Chen Nuo had always disliked perfume.
Ignoring him, Chen Nuo walked past him and walked towards the community.
After walking a few steps, I heard footsteps behind me. The woman was stumbling, taking out her bag as she walked.
Chen Nuo actually knew this woman, she lived right across from him.
He encountered it once a few days before he [returned] to this world.
From the attire, appearance, behavior and conversation, and the subsequent encounters at the gate of the community, they were all different men, sent back in the middle of the night...
You can also guess what profession this woman is in by using her heels.
At the beginning, this woman occasionally nodded to say hello to Chen Nuo, probably because Chen Yanluo was so good-looking. A young man with white teeth and red lips was always easy to attract people's liking.
But later, Chen Nuo gave no response every time, and the woman didn't bother to talk to him.
Humph, he’s so handsome!
The two of them went upstairs one after the other.
When they arrived on the same floor, Chen Nuo took out the key and opened the door. The woman was in a hurry and dropped her bag on the ground. The cigarettes, lighters, and a mobile phone inside all fell out.
Chen Nuo clearly heard the woman curse something in a low voice.
Ignoring him, Chen Nuo opened the door to his house, walked in and closed the door behind him.
·
I went into the kitchen and filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove. I took out an apple with a red Fuji rock candy heart and washed it. I didn't bother to peel it, so I just took a bite.
Just as Chen Nuo was about to enter the room, he heard the door being knocked.
I went over to open the door, and there was that gaudy woman standing outside the door.
Her appearance is okay, and she doesn't look too old, but her heavy make-up looks very tacky.
Chen Nuo frowned: "Is something wrong?"
"Little handsome boy, I live right across from you." The woman had a hint of drunkenness on her cheeks, but she was generally sober.
"Is something wrong?" Chen Nuo said calmly.
"I lost my key and can't open the door. I'm in a hurry to go to the bathroom. Can I borrow your bathroom?"
Chen Nuo's eyes dropped and he saw the woman's legs were twisted together anxiously.
"...Come in."
Chen Nuo stepped aside and got out of the way.
The woman rushed in immediately and rushed into the bathroom in the room.
Chen Nuo sat in the living room and turned on the TV.
After watching it for a few minutes, I felt something was wrong.
Does it take so long to go to the toilet?
Just when I thought of this, the woman came out.
Chen Nuo raised his head and glanced: Huh?
When I went in, I was wearing heavy makeup, but when I came out, the makeup was removed and I looked bare-faced.
As for her appearance, she can't be considered good-looking, but she's not ugly either. She looks like an ordinary girl.
The eyes are pretty, but the cheekbones are a bit high.
I can barely score 70 points.
"Sorry, I borrowed your bathroom to take off my makeup." The woman... well, it should be a girl to be precise. After taking off her makeup, she looked much younger: "I have some allergies on my face recently. If I don't remove my makeup, tomorrow
I’m afraid I’m going to get a rash.”
Chen Nuo nodded.
"Um, can you do me another favor?"
Chen Nuo said nothing and looked at the girl quietly.
"I lost my keys and my roommate hasn't come back yet. Can I borrow your phone to call my roommate?"
"Don't you have a mobile phone?"
The girl reluctantly took out a red Motorola and said, "The battery is out."
"...Call." Chen Nuo pointed to the phone on the table next to the TV.
The girl smiled, picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Hey! Qu Xiaoling!! When are you coming back!! I lost my key! Maybe it was left in the locker room! Are you still in the company? Help me look for it!! What... how long do you want!
? Damn it! Are these guests so annoying? You should deal with it quickly and come back, I can’t get in without the key now!"
After hanging up the phone, the girl said coquettishly: "It will take some time for my roommate to come back. Can I wait for her at your place?"
Chen Nuo said nothing.
"Do me a favor, little handsome guy." The girl came over with a smile, sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette and handed one over: "We are all neighbors, don't be so indifferent."
Chen Nuo looked at the seven-star handed over and shook his head: "I don't smoke mixed type."
"Then I smoked." The girl carelessly picked up the ashtray on the table and placed it in front of her, lit it, and puffed out the smoke.
"Young handsome boy, we are neighbors, but we never talk much."
"What do you want to say?"
"A lot!" The girl smiled exaggeratedly and waved her hand: "Let's get to know each other. What's your name?"
"Takeshi Kaneshiro."
See, this means that you don’t want to have a good chat at all.
The girl was choked, but she wasn't bothered. She smiled and said, "What Takeshi Kaneshiro! I still have Cecilia Cheung."
Well, in 2001, Cecilia Cheung was already very popular. She played the role of The King of Comedy and Starry Star. She was the most popular starlet of this era.
But this pretty girl...
Well, by the way, Teacher Chen should have started learning photography.
Chen Nuo glanced at the girl: "No, you don't deserve it. You don't look good."
"..."
The girl was stunned for several seconds before trying to digest this sentence: "Is this how you usually talk to people?"
"Normally not." Chen Nuo said lightly: "It would be different if an uninvited guest came to disturb my rest at night."
As he said that, Chen Nuo looked at the door of his house.
It means: You can go.
However, Chen Nuo underestimated this girl's face.
The girl waved her hand: "Okay, okay, then I won't say anything."
Then there was silence.
Chen Nuo sighed and sat for a while. After the water was boiled, he walked into the kitchen to fill the thermos bottle.
When I came out, I found the girl leaning on the sofa, actually asleep.
Frowning, Chen Nuo walked over, turned off the TV, then picked up a book, sat on the other side of the sofa and started reading.
After a while...
There was a voice outside the door.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.
It seemed like someone was talking, and someone was banging on the door... It wasn't Chen Nuo's door, it was the door opposite.
Through the door, you can hear sounds coming from outside.
"Open the door, open the door! Stop fucking hiding!! I know you're home from get off work!!"
"If you don't open the door, it will be smashed!"
"Damn it! Are you pretending to be dead?"
"Fuck, throw paint! Grass!"
Chen Nuo frowned, stood up, and turned to look at the girl.
The girl still had her eyes closed, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her—she was actually awake.
"Why don't you go out and take a look? It seems like they are breaking down your door."
The girl opened her eyes, looked at Chen Nuo pleadingly, and whispered: "Shh! I'll hide here with you, and they will leave in a while, okay? Please!"
Chen Nuo frowned.
There was movement outside the door.
"Spill! Just splash here! Damn, splash louder! You can't fucking write! Write louder!"
Chen Nuo sighed, stood up, and in the girl's frightened eyes, he walked towards the door and opened it.
Outside the door, a few men who looked like they were promiscuous were crowding in the corridor, holding paint buckets and brushes in their hands.
Several large characters have been painted on the walls with scarlet paint.
"Pay your debts..."
I haven't finished writing the word "money" yet.
The door opposite has been splashed with paint, and the walls are also...
Some paint has been splattered on the wall of Chen Nuo's house.
Chen Nuo looked at the people outside the door quietly.
"What are you looking at!" A leading man turned to Chen Nuo with a fierce look on his face: "It has nothing to do with you, don't fucking look around!"
Chen Nuo looked at this guy.
Sighing, Chen Nuo raised the phone in his hand.
"What's the police phone number? Oh, 1...1..."
As he spoke, he pressed the number in his hand.
"What the hell? Boy, what are you doing! Don't make trouble for yourself!" the man glared and yelled.
Chen Nuo frowned: "I'm not looking for trouble. You guys are making so much noise at night to prevent people from sleeping. Who is looking for trouble... Brother, you have to be reasonable when you are in a black club."
"I'm talking about your horse..." A companion next to him tried to rush forward fiercely, but was held back by the leader.
Looking at Chen Nuo's cell phone, he had already dialed two numbers.
The leader sneered: "Okay, mind your own business, right? Boy, you will regret it."
Probably not wanting to cause trouble, the man waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go!"
Before leaving, he pointed at Chen Nuo and sneered several times.
After everyone went downstairs, Chen Nuo closed the door and went home, looking back at the shivering girl sitting on the sofa.
"Thank you, thank you..." The girl was trembling.
Chen Nuo walked over, poured water, and took two sips.
The girl had already stood up and followed him.
"I...I owe them money."
"I'm short of money recently, and someone in my family is sick again."
"I actually don't want to get into trouble, but I can't help it."
"I……"
The girl rambled on about this. Before she could continue, Chen Nuo put down the water glass and looked at the girl:
"I didn't ask, and I didn't want to know."
The girl shut up.
Chen Nuo went directly back to the sofa, picked up the book and continued to read.
The girl seemed a little at a loss, but after all, she had nowhere to go and she didn't dare to go out. She gritted her teeth and sat on the sofa.
About half an hour later, a woman's scream came from outside the door.
"What the hell! What the hell is going on!"
As soon as the girl heard the sound, she immediately jumped up from the sofa and ran to open the door.
Outside the door, Qu Xiaoling stood in the corridor, angrily looking at the paint on the door and walls.
"Qu Xiaoling, you are finally back."
"I'm back! But what's going on at home? What trouble have you caused again?"
"Hey! Go back and talk about it. Go back and talk about it."
While pulling Qu Xiaoling, the girl looked back at Chen Nuo who was standing at the door: "Thank you, little handsome guy...ah, Takeshi Kaneshiro."
"..." Chen Nuo said nothing and closed the door.
I took a shower first, then wiped my hair and prepared to go back to the room to sleep.
But the door was knocked again.
Chen Nuo went over to open the door and saw the girl standing outside the door, holding a plate with steaming dumplings in her hand.
"The pork and cabbage stuffing... I didn't make it, it was bought from the supermarket." The girl hesitated a little: "Just think of it as thank you for tonight. I see that there is no one else at home. If you are hungry at night, you will definitely not have anything to eat.
, just think that I’m treating you to a late-night snack.”
The girl raised her face to look at Chen Nuo.
I wanted to refuse, but the expression on the girl's face was very sincere, and her eyes also had a hint of nervousness and flattery.
"……Thanks."
Taking the plate, Chen Nuo nodded.
"My name is...my name is Zhang Lina. Can you tell me your name?"
Chen Nuo thought for a while:
"Wu Yanzu."
"…………"
After closing the door, Chen Nuo placed the plate of dumplings on the dining table and stared at it for two seconds.
Without touching it, he turned around and entered the bedroom.
·
At dawn, Chen Nuo got up, washed up, and went out to school.
When she opened the door, she saw Zhang Lina squatting in the corner, holding a big brush in her hand, vigorously scrubbing the door and wall.
There is a basin of water next to it, as well as detergent and other things.
"Morning." The girl raised her face and smiled flatteringly at Chen Nuo. There were beads of sweat on her forehead.
"morning."
"Don't worry, I'll wipe it up right now! If there's any splash on your door, I'll wipe it up too!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Chen Nuo nodded, went downstairs and left.
"Hey! Daniel Wu!"
Chen Nuo heard the footsteps and looked up at the stairs.
"Um... are the dumplings delicious?"
"...It's okay, but don't do it next time. I don't like eating dumplings."
Chen Nuo took steps to continue walking.
"Hey, Wu Yanzu."
"Is there anything else?"
"...I know you look down on people like me, but last night...thank you, and I'm sorry." As the girl spoke, she squeezed the brush in her hand hard.
"...Well, it's over."
Chen Nuo nodded, walked downstairs and left.
On this day, nothing happened, everything was as usual in school.
Lao Sun has returned from a business trip, and Sun Keke secretly gets close to Chen Nuo.
Li Yingwan continued to take leave and was taking care of Jiang Yingzi.
**Student...still skipped classes and didn't come to school.
After school in the afternoon, Chen Nuo returned home and was preparing to go out in the evening to accompany Sun Keke to cram school.
Lao Jiang is probably still hiding this from Lao Sun.
Just as I was washing my face, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Nuo went over to open the door, and there were two middle-aged men standing outside the door.
One of them waved a certificate wearing the national emblem: "Hello, little comrade, can I have a few words with you?"
Chen Nuo frowned.
"We are the police, here to verify some situations. Don't be nervous, it's just a normal platoon."
"Please come in."
Let two police officers enter the house and come to the living room.
The policeman habitually observed the furnishings at home, and then withdrew his gaze.
"That's it...do you know the neighbor who lives across from you?"
"We don't know each other, but we have met a few times." Chen Nuo answered normally.
"Can you tell me more specifically? Don't be nervous. Just tell me as much as you know." A policeman picked up his notebook and started recording.
"Well, there should be two girls living there. They are young. I don't know the details. I don't usually interact with them."
A policeman continued to record.
The other one stood up and walked a few steps in the living room casually, and suddenly saw a plate of cold dumplings on the dining table.
The policeman stared at the plate and said, "This plate seems to be from the house across the street..."
Chen Nuo immediately noticed the other person's gaze and said slowly: "Oh, this plate of dumplings was brought by the girl across from you last night."
"Oh? Haven't you ever had any dealings with them?"
Chen Nuo thought for a while: "Someone came to cause trouble last night, a few men..."
"Well, let's talk about it in detail."
"It's nothing complicated. It just feels like you're coming to collect debts, and then you make a lot of noise and throw paint on it. It's like acting in a movie." Chen Nuo said, "I went out and took a look, and the door of my house was all stained with paint.
, those people also threatened me, and I said I was going to call the police, so they left. Then in the evening the girl across the street came to apologize. She probably thought she had caused trouble to my neighbor, so she gave me this plate of dumplings."
"You haven't eaten?" the policeman asked casually.
"Oh, I don't like dumplings." Chen Nuo shook his head.
After one of the policemen finished writing in the record book, he handed it to Chen Nuo: "Take a look and see if there is any discrepancy between what I recorded and what you said. If there is no problem, please sign below. By the way,
Can I see your ID?"
Chen Nuo nodded and took out his ID card and student ID card.
"Can you tell me where you were during the day today?"
"I'm in school. Before you came, I just got home from school."
"Oh, that's okay."
The police's attitude immediately became much more relaxed.
After sending the two policemen out, Chen Nuo suddenly asked: "Can I ask, what happened to Zhang Lina?"
The two policemen looked at each other, as if exchanging glances, and one of them slowly said: "Dead."
The other one, at the same time, carefully looked at Chen Nuo's expression.
Chen Nuo was stunned.
"It is inconvenient for us to reveal anything more when it comes to the case. But since you know the deceased, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Please don't reveal anything more."
After the explanation, the two policemen said goodbye and left.
Chen Nuo closed the door and returned to the living room.
Looking at the plate of cold dumplings on the table.
Well...dead...
dead.
Chen Nuo frowned.
