Where do the guests of the evening mountain see and forget come from

Chapter 5
Han Tuo was standing on the ladder, taking bacon and sausages.Suddenly he heard footsteps on the stairs, he looked back and saw a black trouser leg.

A small idea popped up in his mind, he immediately hung the bacon at a higher position, then jumped down from the ladder, put the ladder back in the corner, and rushed into the kitchen by himself, all in one go.

After a few seconds, Luo Xiao came downstairs, and she also wandered into the kitchen, looking at Han Tuo in a white T-shirt and black apron, bowing his head and chopping vegetables.A little dazed.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Han Tuo said lightly.

"Who did you learn your cooking skills from?" Luo Xiao picked up a date from the plate by the door and bit it in his mouth.

Han Tuo smiled, and his knife was like the wind: "When I was at work, how could I cook? I didn't pick anything. Even if the fast food lunch box was made like pig food, it would be wiped out when I was hungry. Two years ago... …After retiring, I thought about opening an inn, cooking and so on, I slowly learned and pondered."

Luo Xiao didn't speak.I just feel that the dates in my mouth are a little sweet and astringent.That astringent is called the past.Your unknown past.

Han Tuo raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "What about you? Are you good at cooking?" He looked at Luo Xiao's slender and fair fingers, subconsciously, such a beautiful and light girl must be very good at cooking. "Could it be a hidden culinary master?" He asked with a low smile.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xiao's face turned red, and he threw the small core of the date into the trash can, and said honestly, "I can't eat what I made."

Han Tuo wanted to laugh, but he held back out of shame.

As if trying to win back, Luo Xiao specially emphasized: "However, my parents used to cook delicious food. Braised lion's head, steamed fish, fried asparagus tips... are better than many restaurants. At that time, many friends They all like to eat at our house. It's because their cooking skills are so good, so I didn't cook it myself. I think, if I had learned it back then, the cooking skills now should be very good..."

Before he could say the last sentence, Han Tuo grabbed her face with a smile, lowered his head and kissed her.His fingers were still stained with water and smelled of carrots and corn.His other hand rested on the wall behind her.But this is probably the sweetest and freshest kiss Luo Xiao has ever experienced.She was kissed so that her whole body was covered with trembling coolness, as if someone's hand had passed by.She knew that it was actually his breath.

Only when the kiss made her face flushed, Han Tuo happily patted her waist lightly: "Go, help me get a piece of bacon. Make fried bacon with garlic sprouts at noon. No chili."

"Yeah." Luo Xiao took two steps, turned to see that he was still looking at her, and there was a blush on his cheeks.Luo Xiao came back quickly, raised her head and kissed him lightly on the face, then turned and walked out.

Han Tuo touched his face, what did it feel like, like a happy villain hidden in his heart.He finally emerged from the mountain that had been silent for too long, very brave, and very eager, wanting to be happy.And she came at this moment, like a puddle of water, he couldn't help but jump into it.

On the other side, Luo Xiao climbed up the ladder according to his instructions, and was fighting with bacon.But the meat was hanging so high that she couldn't reach it even if she stood on tiptoe at the top of the ladder.After working hard for a few times, I suddenly felt something was wrong. When I turned around, I saw Han Tuo leaning against the kitchen door, smiling with his head down.Suddenly understood: this guy did it on purpose.

Are you childish?
Luo Xiao was annoyed: "You get it yourself." The gesture was about to come down.However, Han Tuo took two steps forward and grabbed the steps of the ladder: "Don't, I just washed my hands. Why don't you jump up and see if you can catch it. Don't you have two tricks? Don't worry, if you fall, I will catch up below you."

"Really?" Luo Xiao looked at him dubiously.

"Hmm." Han Tuo looked at her with his chin resting on one hand, "Why don't you try dancing first? Come, come here."

Luo Xiao's face was slightly hot again, and he whispered, "You did it on purpose."

Han Tuo's voice was even lower: "Oh, you know."

……

In the house, there is a large area of ​​palms, the kitchen, and the corridor, but the two people have been lingering in it all morning.Even the herringbone ladder brought back from the second-hand market for 50 yuan was used by the boss as a prop to flirt with girls.If this goes on like this, I'm afraid that those flowers, grass, and potatoes and cabbage in the yard will leave ambiguous traces of dating everywhere.

Xiaomei squatted in the yard, silently watering the flowers on the ground.

I can't hear, I can't see, I can't feel...

There shouldn't be crowds of onlookers who are hiding in a small black room and having a relationship.Although she, Xiaomei, is someone who has experienced it, the boss is so shameless and impetuous when he makes a move. Even taking her feels shameless...

At noon, Xiaomei, freed from anger and shame, went out to look for food by herself.Only Han Tuo and Luo Xiao were left at home, having a delicious meal of fried pork with garlic moss and Chinese cabbage.After eating, Luo Xiao volunteered to wash the dishes.Han Tuo rested on the reclining chair under the porch, and suddenly felt that the courtyard was much more pleasing to the eye.After thinking about it, I realized that it was Xiaomei's big light bulb that had been standing all morning, and finally knew to avoid it.

Rumei can teach.Han Tuo decided to increase her salary by 10 yuan from next month.

"I'll go over there to clean up in the afternoon, and I may come back very late." Luo Xiao's voice came from the kitchen.Over there is the house she just rented.

Han Tuo said, "I'll come to you after finishing my work in the afternoon."

"If you are busy, don't go, I can handle it myself." Luo Xiao's voice paused, "You have helped me a lot."

Han Tuo turned his head and looked at the kitchen door, and said in a low voice, "What's more, it's still far from the result of the two of us, it's not too much."

His voice was a bit low, and Luo Xiao couldn't hear clearly amidst the sound of the faucet: "What?"

Han Tuo smiled: "It's nothing. Then you wash slowly, brother is going out. I will pick you up for dinner tonight."

Luo Xiao gently wiped the edges of the dishes with a rag, and wanted to laugh when he heard him call himself "Brother".After careful calculation in his mind, his birthday is listed on the license documents of the inn, and he is four years older than her.

This man is sometimes indifferent and sometimes cute.Sometimes sharp, sometimes dull.He would kiss her a few days ago, even Luo Xiao didn't think of it.But sometimes when I think about it, think about the day they first met, think about his pair of misty and deep eyes looking at her in the morning mist, I suddenly feel that it is so natural that they will kiss each other one day thing.

However, on this day, Han Tuo did not come to have dinner with her as promised.Of course, Luo Xiao didn't care about it either.The new house was quite big, and she had been cleaning it all afternoon, and only a small corner had been cleaned up.When she was so busy that her waist was sore, she raised her head to look at the sky, only to find that it was seven or eight o'clock.Han Tuo hasn't come yet.She called him on her cell phone, but no one answered.Luo Xiao didn't care, and threw the phone aside, then sat on a pile of sundries, ate a small piece of bread and drank some water, and it was all dinner.

It gets dark in Yunnan much later than inland.At this time, the twilight falls, the sun stretches, the mountains look like people, and the water looks like a dream.

Luo Xiao lowered her head and ate for a while. She has experienced such a lonely time for more than a year.But at this moment, it feels different.There is a person, just below the mountain, like floating clouds, like the sea, lightly occupying her life.

Luo Xiao knew that the eternal loneliness in his heart could not be saved.Even Han Tuo couldn't.

But this time, she really wanted to be happy.I want God to open his eyes and let her escape this time.

It is rare to meet a Han Tuo in the world.she knows.

Every gesture is him, and the sunrise and sunset are also him.Ever since he opened the door to take her in in the heavy rain that day, she really couldn't bear to let go.

-

In the afternoon, Han Tuo went to the police station.For nothing else, if the case is not solved, he will always miss it in his heart.And he wasn't very worried about the efficiency of the small town police in handling cases.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the police office, he saw Xiao Tan with a few sad faces there.

"Hey, Brother Han, Brother Han...we searched according to what you said, but we couldn't find the suspect."

Han Tuo sat down unhurriedly, ordered the little policeman next to him to pour him a cup of tea, and then asked slowly, "What's going on?"

"Several streets near the deceased's home were monitored, but no suspicious people were photographed. They were all hawkers or tourists on the street every day." Xiao Tan said, "We also inquired about the relationship between men and women and the deceased. Financial relationship, he divorced his wife a few years ago, because he had an affair with the little accountant in the factory. But we were shocked when we found the little accountant. She was on duty in the factory that day, she had an alibi, and she had It doesn't match the feet. In terms of finances, the deceased had no debts and no disputes. Oh, by the way, he has sought out young ladies a few times, but they are all clean, so he shouldn't be killed for this. His ex-wife I went to work in the province a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with this case."

Han Tuo thought for a while, lit a cigarette, and said, "It means an acquaintance committed the crime."

Xiao Tan and the others were startled.

Han Tuo dusted off the cigarette ash, said with a faint smile, "There are no traces in the wind, but there must be traces in the passage of people. The murderer has no kung fu, how could he escape your sight? He is probably an acquaintance, and you ignore it.

In some corner we can't see, in some way of communication, the murderer and the dead hook up.The deceased was a shrewd little boss, and he would not be so easily fooled. He must have had several contacts with the murderer.Then it came to fruition, and there was the following burglary and homicide case. "

"Oh……"

"Check more carefully." Han Tuo said, "Even in small towns, people we know so well must be carefully screened. As long as women meet the conditions of the suspect, they must be checked. I have I have a hunch that the murderer this time will not be the little accountant, miss, or ex-wife you mentioned just now. It is likely to be someone we have never thought of. This is interesting."

"Hmm!" The little policemen were confused and excited by Han Tuo's words.

Han Tuo asked again: "When will the police from above arrive?"

Xiao Tan replied: "It rained a few days ago and the road collapsed. The people from the provincial department should be there tomorrow."

-

That day, Han Tuo stayed at the police station until midnight before going back to the inn.

The moment he stepped into the door, he looked up and saw a bright moon, and then remembered that he was so busy that he forgot the time, and also missed the appointment with Luo Xiao.Taking out her phone, she saw a missed call that belonged to her.

On the night when there was a case, the blood in his body seemed to be cold and hot at the same time.But that feeling has been gone for too long.Just like a predestined road, even if you are far away from this road, it is still under your feet all the time.

Han Tuo raised his head and saw that the lights in her room had been turned off.Jomo is already fast asleep.Han Tuo didn't want to disturb her, so he went back to his room to sleep.I was still thinking in my mind, what should I do for her tomorrow?

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Han Tuo realized that Luo Xiao hadn't returned all night and was not in the room at all.Asked Xiaomei, Xiaomei rubbed her eyes and replied: "I don't know, I fell asleep at 12 o'clock yesterday, thinking she came back, is she still building a house there? Boss, my girlfriend doesn't care. , came here to ask others what they were doing. Hey, I see, I’m a newbie, so I understand.”

Han Tuo: "..."

Too lazy to talk nonsense with her, he called Luo Xiao's cell phone, but found no one answered.So I left the inn and walked up the hillside.

Soon, she arrived in front of her abandoned cafe.

The door is closed, but there is a light inside, and a figure can be seen lying on the table.Han Tuo felt relieved and took a look at the wall, isn't it very high? Even Luo Xiao could climb over it by himself.Laughing in his heart, he climbed over the wall in an instant, landed in the courtyard, and pushed open the courtyard door, only to see Luo Xiao crouching crookedly on the table, sleeping soundly.

Han Tuo took another look around the yard, and found that everything was tidy and orderly.The original old furniture was thrown out by her, and the ground was clean and spotless.With a little renovation and the purchase of tables and chairs, Luoxiao Coffee Shop can be opened.

Xu Shi Chenguang was gentle, and Han Tuo's heart also felt soft.Looking at Luo Xiao again, there were a few smears of dust on his fair face, and the glove on one hand was still on.Even in her sleep, her two eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Han Tuo knelt down in front of her and asked softly, "What are you still worrying about in your dream..."

Naturally, she didn't wake up, she just frowned slightly.Han Tuo lowered his head and pecked lightly on her lips.Thinking about it, this girl might only be able to clean up the whole yard if she worked all night.

This woman is really a good housekeeper.Thinking of this, Han Tuo felt a little proud, looked around, and finally sat down in a chair beside her.Make up your mind that when she wakes up, you will make an "ahoo" sound to scare her.When she was frightened, he hugged her.Kiss forever.Kissing this calm little girl, like him, "when I see Yiren, my mind surges".

It's a beautiful idea.It's just that Han Tuo was leaning on the chair with his chin in his hands, staring at the face of his new girlfriend, always feeling that something was neglected by him.

Not long after, the phone rang.Luo Xiao next to him moved, but he still didn't wake up.Looks like I was really exhausted last night.

Han Tuo picked it up immediately, walked into the yard, and was far enough away from her before saying, "Hey, Xiao Tan, what's the matter?"

Xiao Tan obviously panicked: "Han, Brother Han...Last night, another person died! He was killed! He died in the same way as Xie Hua! It was done by the same person, a serial killer!"

Han Tuo was taken aback, and quickly said, "I'll be right over."

Xiao Tan was still trembling and said: "But your judgment is correct. The people from the provincial department have arrived, and the appraisal result is the same as yours. They will check all the 37 yards, 165- A skinny woman with a height of 175, regardless of locals or tourists, launched a dragnet search. The road out of the town has also set up checkpoints. In addition, people from the provincial government want to see you."

Han Tuo replied: "Understood."

Hang up the phone, look up, and see Luo Xiao in the room.Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat.

He knew that he felt something was wrong just now.

When the two homicides happened, Luo Xiao was alone, and there was no alibi.
