Lao Zeng reached under his coat and took out a pistol and handed it over.
Li Heng did not take the gun. He patted the satchel that the little girl carried outside her coat: "There is no need to take yours. My wife has it here. If it is really used, I will take your gun and go there."
You can’t even write a report at that time.”
"Okay, you guys can have it." Lao Zeng took out his gun. He also had to take responsibility. It would be difficult to do if the gun really went off, but for the safety of Li Heng and his wife, he had to bear the responsibility.
He had to take it. After all, this trouble was caused by his lack of meticulousness in his work. Now people have things they don't need him for, which made him feel relieved involuntarily.
…
The snowflakes were fluttering. As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard and walked a few steps to the west, Li Heng felt that someone was staring at him again. Because he didn't feel any obvious malice, it meant that the person staring at him was just a follower at this time.
That's all, he didn't have any intention of taking action, so he ignored it. There is no such thing as food in the world, so let's eat it first and then talk about it.
It has been snowing for four days, and there is already a thick layer of snow on the road. There is a crunching sound every time you step out.
Fang Xiaoya is really like a child who hasn't grown up. She doesn't walk well and always has to step on places that no one has stepped on. From time to time, she will grab a handful of snow from the ground, crush it into a ball and hit Li Heng.
Laughter like silver bells kept coming from her mouth.
Looking at his wife who was smiling so happily, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with what he had done today.
He felt that he shouldn't get involved with Director Zeng and his friends today, otherwise there wouldn't be such bad things happening now.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world, so he can only try his best to protect the innocent smile on his wife's face.
In three slippery steps, the two of them arrived at this old stewed, cooked and fired restaurant that is said to have been around since the Qing Dynasty.
Li Heng heard someone say that braised pork belly was actually made from pork belly in the past, but later it was replaced with pig offal because the cost was too high. He didn’t know whether it was true or not, but if it was really made from pork belly, he would
I think I should like to eat.
Although it was meal time, there were not many people in the restaurant. There were only three or four kittens here and there. As soon as I opened the curtain and entered, a strong smell of braised meat hit my face. Maybe I was hungry.
Because of this, Li Heng still thinks this tastes good today.
Two bowls of braised pork belly, one portion of braised liver tips, a total of four taels of food stamps, one dollar and twenty-five cents.
The main reason is that the liver is more expensive. Half a catty of raw liver, which is eight taels, costs 65 cents, and two bowls of braised liver only costs 60 cents.
Needless to say, the food made by this time-honored restaurant is really delicious, without any weird smell.
The fire at this time was much bigger than that of a few decades later. To say one to two is definitely not an exaggeration. Just like that, Fang Xiaoya also finished the big bowl, and even felt a little unfinished.
"Girl, we can actually make this at home."
After walking out of the restaurant after eating and drinking, Li Heng thought for a while and said.
"Hey, I love eating stewed food, but it's hard to clean up my intestines. If I can't clean them, it can make me sick to death."
Looking at the little girl with a look of disgust, Li Heng was immediately amused. I didn't see you like this when Xilihulu was eating just now.
But when he talks about making braised pork at home, he doesn’t mean cooking it with pig offal.
"Haha, I didn't say to make it with large intestines, just pork belly. The braised pork made by my mother is so delicious, so it will be no problem to make this."
"That's right, let me tell you, brother, my mother has been using the marinade for marinating meat for decades. Anyway, we have it when I am gone."
When she mentioned the braised pork made by her mother, Fang Xiaoya's face was filled with pride, but her little face fell down again in an instant.
"Forget it, brother, it's better not to let our mother do it. If you go back and tell her, she will definitely complain about my greediness again."
"It's okay, I just said I want to eat it. Tomorrow morning I will go to the vegetable market to find the meat seller Lao Du, order a pig head and some pig trotters from him, and let my mother eat them when I get back.
Braised, our meat will be ready for the Chinese New Year.”
"Still ordering." Hearing what her man said, Fang Xiaoya stuck out her tongue cutely: "We have marinated a lot of meat."
"Eat slowly, who thinks there is too much meat?"
While he was talking, the feeling of being watched came to Li Heng's heart again.
It’s not over, right? If you want to play, then I will accompany you to have fun.
This feeling of being stared at made him angry all of a sudden, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.
"Girl, there is someone following you. Don't look back. We are only a hundred meters away from Lao Zeng and the others. I will catch that person later. You put your bag in front of you. You don't need to take out your gun, but put the safety on it."
Open it, and if you find anything wrong, just shoot it and don't worry about anything."
"Brother, can you do it alone?"
"If I can't take it, no one can. Don't worry, just go to Lao Zeng's place and don't look back."
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety."
Fang Xiaoya nodded obediently and did not say anything like I must be with you. The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and the other is in the open. If she insists on following, she will cause trouble for her man.
"I see."
After saying that, Li Heng stopped walking and said in a slightly louder voice: "You go over first, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes and I'll be back."
"OK"
Seeing Fang Xiaoya continue to walk forward, Li Heng pretended to look across the road, then looked back at the direction he had just walked, giving the impression that he was looking for a store.
The moment he turned back, he saw a middle-aged man thirty or forty meters behind him, wearing a cotton hat and a blue cotton jacket, with his hands clasped in front of his chest and inserted into his sleeves, with a smile on his face.
Wearing a scarf, he was walking slowly this way with his head slightly lowered, and he couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
He didn't seem to expect that Li Heng would turn around. His walking movements paused slightly, and then returned to normal in an instant.
If there were many pedestrians on the street, it would be difficult to spot him when he stopped for a moment, but due to the weather, there were not many people on the road at all. In addition, Li Hengben was deliberately observing and discovered it immediately.
But he didn't move, but just stood there waiting for the man to come over.
In the short distance of thirty or forty meters, no matter how slow he walked, the man still walked over in less than a minute. Just when the two were about to pass each other, Li Heng suddenly raised his arms and hugged the man.
shoulders.
"Don't talk nonsense to me, keep your mouth shut and follow me."
The man turned his head and was about to say something when he felt something being pressed against his waist. Immediately afterwards, he felt his cotton-padded jacket being lifted up, and the gun inserted in his lower waist was also being stared at by him.
