Chapter 77 [A plate of dumplings]

Chapter 74【A plate of dumplings】

Chen Nuo is eating noodles.

Large bowl of braised beef ramen, with meat and eggs.The noodles are pulled into capillaries.

Several garlic cloves have been peeled off, two in the palm of the hand and one between the fingers.

One mouthful of noodles, one mouthful of soup, and a bite of garlic.

At this time after ten o'clock in the evening, only this small shop called Ramen Guo is still open downstairs.

The wind started to pick up outside, and the warm wind was blowing, with a hint of damp smell.

It might be raining again this time.

When Jinling City arrived at the end of April, it had already begun to enter the rainy season.That wet feeling in the air always makes your nose itchy.

Chen Nuo finished eating the noodles, drank half of the soup, and sighed comfortably.

"Boss, put more meat next time." Chen Nuo paid the money with a smile.

"I'll put a cow in for you, okay?" The boss rolled his eyes angrily: "Do you know that beef prices have been increasing!"

Chen Nuo smiled and handed a cigarette. The boss took it without smoking, and glanced at it: "Yo, Zhonghua."

He clipped it to his ear and waved his hand: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to close."

Unlike most Hui people who come to the south to open a ramen restaurant, the owner is a Han Chinese, a middle-aged man with a very simple and 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 with his hands in his pockets and walked on the road at night.

It has been two days since the motorcycle was loaned out.

That guy Zhang Linsheng didn't show up at school, he skipped class.

Chen Nuo didn't think much of it... Isn't it normal for a student like Brother Hao Nan to skip class?

Just came back from Teacher Jiang's house tonight.Zhang Linsheng still didn't show up, and Chen Nuo became a little curious.

Hmm...they always roll up their motorcycles and run away, right?

Just thinking of this, Chen Nuo walked to the gate of the community and saw a taxi stop.

A woman dressed in very garish clothes staggered out of the car, turned her head and waved to a man in the car.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for sending me! See you next time."

Three or five meters away, Chen Nuo smelled a pungent perfume smell—Chen Nuo has always disliked perfume.

I didn't pay attention, just passed by, Chen Nuo strode into the community.

After walking a few steps, I heard footsteps behind me. The woman staggered, taking out her bag as she walked.

Chen Nuo actually knew this woman and lived opposite the door.

He met once a few days before he [returned] to this world.

From the attire, dressing, demeanor and conversation, as well as several encounters at the gate of the community, all of them were different men, and they were sent back in the middle of the night...

You can also guess what profession this woman does with her heels.

At the beginning, this woman occasionally nodded and greeted Chen Nuo, probably because Chen Yanluo's skin was good-looking, and a young man with white teeth and red lips was always easy to attract favor.

But later, Chen Nuo didn't respond coldly every time, and the woman didn't bother to answer.

Huh, he's so handsome!
The two went upstairs one after the other.

When they got to the same floor, Chen Nuo took out the key to open the door. The woman was in a hurry, and the bag fell on the ground. The cigarettes, lighters, and a mobile phone inside fell out.

Chen Nuo clearly heard the woman curse something in a low voice.

Ignoring it, Chen Nuo opened the door of his house, went in directly and closed the door.

·
Going into the kitchen, I used a kettle to pick up the 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.

Chen Nuo was about to enter the room when he heard the door slamming.

Going to open the door, there was the vulgar woman standing outside.

The appearance is alright, and he doesn't look too old, but the look with heavy make-up is very tacky.

Chen Nuo frowned: "Is something wrong?"

"Little handsome guy, I'll live opposite you." The woman had a hint of drunkenness on her cheeks, but she was generally sober.

"Is something wrong?" Chen Nuo said lightly.

"I lost my key and can't open the door. I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet. Can I borrow your bathroom?"

Chen Nuo looked down and saw the woman's legs twisted together anxiously.

"……come in."

Chen Nuo stepped aside.

The woman rushed in 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, it felt wrong.

How long does it take to go to the toilet?
Just thinking of this, a woman came out of it.

Chen Nuo looked up and said: Huh?
When I went in, I was wearing heavy makeup, and when I came out, the makeup was removed, and the face was turned upside down.

It doesn't look good, but it's not ugly either.She looks like an ordinary girl.

The eyes are nice, but the cheekbones are slightly raised.

Barely able to score seventy points.

"Sorry, I borrowed your makeup to remove makeup." The woman... um, to be precise, it should be a girl, after removing her makeup, she looked much younger: "I have been a little allergic to my face recently, if I don't remove my makeup, tomorrow I'm afraid I'm going to get a rash."

Chen Nuo nodded.

"Well, can you do me a favor again?"

Chen Nuo did not speak, and looked at the girl quietly.

"I lost my keys and my roommate hasn't come back. Can I borrow your phone to call my roommate?"

"Don't you have a cell phone?"

The girl reluctantly took out a red Motorola: "It's out of power."

"...Call." Chen Nuo pointed to the phone on the table next to the TV.

The girl smiled and picked up the phone to dial the number.

"Hey! Qu Xiaoling!! When are you coming back!! I lost my key! Maybe I lost it in the locker room! Are you still in the company? Help me find it!! What...how long will it take you! What the hell! Are these guests so annoying? Hurry up and come back, I can't enter the house without the key now!"

After hanging up the phone, the girl said embarrassingly: "My roommate will take some time to come back, can I wait for her here?"

Chen Nuo did not speak.

"Do me a favor, little handsome guy." The girl walked over with a smile, sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette and handed one: "It's all neighbors, don't be so indifferent."

Chen Nuo looked at Qixing who was handed over and shook his head: "I don't smoke the mixed type."

"Then I'll smoke." The girl carelessly picked up the ashtray on the table and placed it in front of her, lit it, lit it, and puffed.

"Little handsome guy, we are neighbors, but we never talk much."

"What do you want to say?"

"A lot!" The girl exaggeratedly smiled and waved her hand: "Let's get to know you, what's your name?"

"Kinjo Takeshi."

Look, that's what it means to not have a good chat at all.

The girl was choked for a while, but she didn't feel annoyed, she smiled: "What is Kaneshiro Takeshi! I still have Cecilia Cheung."

Well, in 2001, Cecilia Cheung was already a big hit, played the king of comedy, and played Xingyu Xingyuan, which is the most popular jade star of this era.

But this jade girl...

Well, by the way, Mr. Chen should have already started to learn photography.

Chen Nuo glanced at the girl: "No, you don't deserve it. You don't look good."

"..."

The girl was stunned for a few seconds before trying to digest the sentence: "Do you usually talk to people like this?"

"Generally not." Chen Nuo said lightly: "If an uninvited guest comes to disturb my rest at night, it will be different."

With that said, Chen Nuo looked at the door of his house.

Meaning: you can go.

However, Chen Nuo underestimated the girl's face.

The girl waved her hand: "Okay, okay, then I won't talk."

So fell silent.

Chen Nuo sighed, sat for a while, the water was boiled, and went into the kitchen to fill a thermos.

When I came out, I found that the girl was lying on the sofa and fell asleep.

Frowning, Chen Nuo walked over, turned off the TV, picked up a book, and sat on the other side of the sofa to read.

After a while...

A voice came from outside the door.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

It seems that someone is talking, and someone slams the door... It's not the door of Chen Nuo's house, it's the door opposite.

Through the door, you can hear voices from outside.

"Open the door, open the door! Don't fucking hide!! I know you're coming home from get off work!!"

"If you don't open the door, it will be smashed!"

"Fuck! Play dead, right?"

"Fuck, splash paint! Grass!"

Chen Nuo frowned, stood up, and turned to look at the girl.

The girl still closed her eyes, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her - she was actually awake.

"Aren't you going to go out and have a look? It's like smashing the door of your house."

The girl opened her eyes, looked at Chen Nuo pleadingly, and whispered, "Shh! I'm hiding here with you, and they'll be gone in a while, okay? Please!"

Chen Nuo frowned.

There was movement outside the door.

"Splash! Just splash here! Damn it! You don't fucking know how to write! Write bigger!"

Chen Nuo sighed, stood up, and under the terrified eyes of the girl, walked to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, a few men who looked like a mixed society crowded in the aisle, with paint buckets and brushes in their hands.

The walls have been painted with scarlet paint, with a few large characters.

"Repay the debt..."

The money word hasn't been written yet.

The door opposite the door has been splashed with paint, and the walls are also...

Some paint has been splashed on the walls of Chen Nuo's house.

Chen Nuo quietly looked at the few people outside the door.

"What are you looking at!" A leading man turned his head to Chen Nuo, his face fierce: "It has nothing to do with you, don't be fucking blind!"

Chen Nuo looked at this guy.

Sighing, Chen Nuo raised the phone in his hand.

"How much is the call to the police? Oh, 1...1..."

As he spoke, he pressed the number in his hand.

"What the hell? What are you doing, kid! Don't make trouble for yourself!" the man glared and shouted.

Chen Nuo frowned: "I'm not looking for trouble. You are so noisy at night that you won't let people sleep. Who is looking for trouble... Brother, you should be reasonable in the black society."

"I told you horse..." A companion beside him was about to rush up viciously, but was held back by this leader.

Looking at Chen Nuo's mobile phone, two numbers have been dialed.

The leader sneered: "Okay, mind your own business, right? Boy, you'll regret it."

Probably because he didn't want to cause trouble, the man waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Before leaving, he pointed at Chen Nuo and sneered a few times.

After everyone went downstairs, Chen Nuo closed the door and went home, looking back at the trembling girl sitting on the sofa.

"Thank you, thank you..." The girl trembled.

Chen Nuo walked over, poured water, and took two sips.

The girl has stood up and followed.

"I...I owe them some money."

"I'm running out of money recently, and someone at home is sick again."

"I actually don't want to cause trouble, but I can't help it."

"I……"

The girl babbled about this, and 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 helpless, but after all, she had nowhere to go, and she didn't dare to go out. She gritted her teeth and bit her head on the sofa.

About half an hour later, a woman's scream came from outside the door.

"Fuck!! What the hell is going on here!"

As soon as the girl heard the sound, she immediately bounced off the sofa and ran to open the door.

Outside the door, Qu Xiaoling stood in the corridor, looking angrily at the paint on the door and the walls.

"Qu Xiaoling, you are finally back."

"I'm back! But what's going on at home! What trouble did you get into?"

"Hey! Go back and talk back."

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 didn't speak and closed the door.

I took a shower first, then wiped my hair as I prepared to go back to my room to sleep.

The door was knocked again.

Chen Nuo went to open the door and saw this girl standing outside the door, holding a plate in her hand, a plate of steaming dumplings.

"The stuffed pork and cabbage... I didn't make it, it was bought from the supermarket." The girl hesitated: "Just thank you for tonight. I don't think there is anyone else in your family. If you are hungry at night, you will definitely have nothing to eat. , just when I invite you to dinner."

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 there was a hint of nervousness and flattery in her eyes.

"……thanks."

Taking the plate, Chen Nuo nodded.

"My name is... My name is Zhang Lina. Can you tell me your name?"

Chen Nuo thought about it:
"Wu Yanzu."

"........."

After closing the door, Chen Nuo put the plate of dumplings on the dining table and stared at it for two seconds.

Without touching, he turned and entered the bedroom.

·
At dawn, Chen Nuo got up, washed up, and went out to school.

Opening the door, she saw Zhang Lina squatting in the corner with a large brush in her hand, wiping the door and the wall hard.

There is a basin of water next to it, and detergent and the like.

"Morning." The girl raised her face and smiled at Chen Nuo, her forehead covered with beads of sweat.

"morning."

"Don't worry, I'll clean it up! If you splash on your door, I'll clean it up too!"

"Well, hard work." Chen Nuo nodded and went downstairs to leave.

"Hey! Wu Yanzu!"

Chen Nuo listened to the footsteps and looked upstairs.

"That... are the dumplings delicious?"

"...It's okay, but don't do it next time, I don't like dumplings."

Chen Nuo took a step and prepared to continue walking.

"Hey, Wu Yanzu."

"Anything else?"

"...I know you look down on people like me, but last night...Thank you, and I'm sorry." When the girl spoke, she squeezed the brush in her hand.

"...Well, it's over."

Chen Nuo nodded and went downstairs to leave.

On this day, nothing happened, everything was business as usual in the school.

Old Sun has returned from a business trip, and Sun Keke is secretly close to Chen Nuo.

Li Yingwan continued to ask for leave to take care of Jiang Yingzi.

Zhang Linsheng...still skipped classes and didn't come to school.

After school in the afternoon, Chen Nuo went home and was ready to go out in the evening to accompany Sun Keke to the cram school.

Lao Jiang is probably still hiding it from his grandson.

Just as I was washing my face, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Nuo went to open the door, and there were two middle-aged men standing outside.

One of them shook a certificate wearing a national emblem: "Hello, little comrade, can I have a few words with you?"

Chen Nuo frowned.

"We are the police, come to verify some situations, don't be nervous, it's just a normal platoon."

"Please come in."

Let two policemen enter the house and come to the living room.

The police habitually observed the furnishings in the house, and then looked away.

"That's it... Do you know the neighbor who lives across the street from you?"

"I don't know, but I've met him a few times." Chen Nuo replied normally.

"Can you be specific? Don't be nervous, just say as much as you know." A policeman picked up a notebook and started recording.

"Well, there should be two girls living there. They are young. I don't know the specifics. I don't usually deal with them."

A policeman continued to record.

The other one stood up and walked a few steps in the living room as if casually, and suddenly saw the plate of cold dumplings on the dining table.

The policeman stared at the plate and glanced at it: "This plate, the style seems to be from the opposite door..."

Chen Nuo immediately noticed the other party's gaze and said slowly: "Oh, this plate of dumplings was sent by the girl opposite last night."

"Oh? Haven't you dealt with them before?"

Chen Nuo thought for a while: "Someone came to make trouble last night, a few men..."

"Well, let's be specific."

"It's nothing complicated, I just feel like I'm going to the door to collect debts, and then it's noisy and noisy, and paint is splashed, just like in a movie." Chen Nuo said: "I went out and took a look, and my door was stained with paint. , Those people also frightened me. I said I was going to call the police, and they left. Then at night, I apologized to the girl at the door. Probably because I thought it was causing trouble for my neighbor, they gave me this plate of dumplings. "

"You didn't eat?" the policeman asked casually.

"Oh, I don't like dumplings." Chen Nuo shook his head.

After one of the policemen wrote the record book, he handed it to Chen Nuo: "Look, 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 certificate?"

Chen Nuo nodded and took out his ID and student ID.

"Can you tell me, where are you today?"

"I was in class at school. Before you came, I just got home from school."

"Oh, then it's fine."

The attitude of the police immediately relaxed a lot.

After sending the two policemen out, Chen Nuo suddenly asked, "Can I ask, what happened to that Zhang Lina?"

The two policemen looked at each other as if they exchanged glances, and one of them said slowly, "Dead."

The other one, at the same time, carefully looked at Chen Nuo's expression.

Chen Nuo was stunned.

"It's inconvenient for us to reveal anything more when it comes to the case. But if you know the deceased, it's okay to 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.

Look at the plate of cool dumplings on the table.

hmm... dead...

died.

Chen Nuo frowned.
