Strongest Worker

Li Qing came back, stuffed the butterfly hairpin into the girl's hand, smiled and tilted her head: "let's go."

The girl's clear eyes looked at him, hurriedly lowered her small head, stood up and walked out.

Out of the door, Du Huasheng gently bumped Li Qing with his shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "Hey, this little mute seems to understand us."

"Maybe. Where do you live tonight?"

Du Huasheng scratched his head, raised his hand and pointed to the front of the street: "not far ahead, there is a small hotel."

Li Qing grinned: "isn't it the same place as last night?"

"Don't worry, no, I've lived in this store before." Du Huasheng smiled, patted him on the shoulder and raised a thumb. "Compared with the place where we lived last night, it's a five-star restaurant. There's a noodle restaurant downstairs, which should not be closed."

"Just in time. Go and have something to eat."

The three got on the bus again and drove a short way. Sure enough, they saw a small hotel. The noodle shop downstairs was steaming out.

Li Qing looked out and didn't find anything unsatisfactory.

He looked at the girl sitting in the back through the endoscope in the car and asked, "is there a place to sell clothes?"

Du Huasheng raised his chin: "then you have to drive a little further. Do you see the alley? I remember one. The boss was very fierce, so no one dared to rob his things. The store has been open for many years."

"Well, we have to buy some clothes."

Du Huasheng pointed back and said with a smile, "are you afraid that the little girl will show her ass?"

"Less nonsense." Li Qing frowned and got out of the car directly. "Eat first and then go after eating."

Du Huasheng turned his head and bared his teeth at the girl, but found that the other party didn't look at him at all, but followed Li Qing to get off the bus, which was boring.

"Alas," he sighed, "girls in poor places really haven't seen it. They bought a broken hair clip."

There are several plastic tables on the street, with a greasy surface and a layer of stains that are difficult to remove. Li Qing can only pretend not to see it and ask the girl to sit down together.

Du Huasheng stretched his head into the noodle stall and shouted a few Malay words with the noodle master, as if they were quarreling. When he turned around, he had brought two cold dishes and put them on the table.

One plate of cold cucumber, the other is cold pig ear. Li Qing glanced at the girl around him and found that the little guy was secretly swallowing. Realizing that Li Qing was staring, she kept lowering her head, and her dirty face turned red.

"OK!" Du Huasheng held a tray made of bamboo strips, put three bowls of bright and white noodles on the table one by one, and then sat down to shake the chopstick cage, "dinner is ready."

The noodles are wide enough with little fingers and are dotted with beautiful chopped scallions. Although they are simple, the fragrance of noodles can float away, which also makes people move their index fingers.

Li Qing handed a pair of chopsticks to the girl and said with a smile, "eat."

She stared at the bowl of noodles in front of her, didn't even pick up the chopsticks, suddenly picked up the bowl of noodles, lowered her head and ate it. But the noodle soup was too hot and ate too quickly. She choked and coughed, and her little face looked painful.

"Eat slowly and don't burn it." Li Qing raised her hand and wanted to pat her back.

The girl mistakenly thought she was going to beat herself, threw the noodle bowl in a hurry and got under the table.

"Hey!" Du Huasheng looked at the overturned bowl and stood up angrily, "don't eat if you don't eat. Don't harm things! Losers!"

"You talk well, as for a bowl of noodles! Go and ask for another bowl!" Li Qing scolded angrily and caught the girl under the table. He didn't look angry at all. "Did I scare you? It's okay, it's okay, I won't hit you."

"Fuck, you'll get used to her!" Du Huasheng shouted, showing great dissatisfaction, but he still went to the stall and asked for a bowl of noodles. "If you dare to overturn it again, I'll starve you to death!"

Li Qing put the chopsticks into the girl's little hand and whispered, "eat slowly, no one is chasing you."

The girl's eyes were confused. She couldn't figure it out. She knocked over a big bowl of noodles. Why didn't the man beat himself?

"Eat." Li Qing urged, lowered his head and ate for himself, and deliberately stopped looking at her.

The girl was so hungry that she hurried to eat noodles. She had slowed down as much as possible, but she still looked urgent.

"HMM." Du Huasheng took a breath and put some cold dishes into her bowl, but he refused to spare a bit. "Eat, eat, feed fat and kill..."

I don't know whether she was too hungry or had a large appetite. The girl ate a large bowl of noodles and still didn't seem full.

Du Huasheng asked tentatively, "another bowl?"

Li Qing was a little worried: "can't you break it?"

"Then ask her for another half bowl." Du Huasheng went to buy another half bowl of noodles, "and then eat."

The girl snored and ate noodles. She suddenly raised her small head and scanned her eyes with vigilance. She found that the two guys had finished eating, and she was looking at herself with a sense of embarrassment.

"Cough." Li Qing coughed for a while and hurriedly moved away from his sight with Du Huasheng and looked elsewhere.

After eating, they left their car outside the small hotel and walked slowly along the street to the clothing store at the entrance of the Hutong.

The shopkeeper is a tall man with big eyes and big mouth. He looks really fierce.

Li Qing picked up some of her own clothes, then pulled up a floral skirt on the shelf and asked the helpless little girl gently, "how about this one? Do you like it?"

The girl didn't know whether to nod or shake her head, but she blinked her big black and white eyes.

Li Qing understood: "then I'll take this one."

"It's no use picking out those messy and colorful ones for her. What's the matter? It's bad luck if you let any animal stare at them!" Du Huasheng shouted impatiently and threw over a pair of eight point jeans. "Let her wear this. I think it's the same size."

Li Qing grinned and took the floral skirt in addition to the jeans. He picked out a little blouse and a pair of high top canvas shoes, looked at the girl's figure, and went to the corner to get two sets of lingerie.

When he chose his underwear, he secretly glanced at the girl standing in place, and keenly noticed that the other party's eyes passed quietly with a touch of shyness. But soon, the shy expression disappeared again.

Du Huasheng didn't seem to be interested in clothes. He chose a straw hat to shade himself, then paid the money together and walked back to the small hotel.

On the way, Li Qing asked him, "I find you know here very well. Have you lived here for a long time?"

"It's not long." Du Huasheng buttoned his straw hat on his head and kicked out the stones under his feet. "He and Zhao Zhen failed to assassinate Du Jiaochun before. He fled here to recover from his injury and lived for more than a week."

Li Qing nodded: "it's too closed here. I can't hear any news about Du Jiaochun. Why didn't you ask that old man today?"

"I can't trust him. I'm afraid it's troublesome to ask." Du Huasheng shook his head. "Let's talk about it later. If I find out who killed him, I really have to thank him."

While talking, they took the girl into the small hotel.

Du Huasheng said hello to the hotel owner, then turned and scanned everyone's face.

"Open two rooms?" he pointed to the little girl who never spoke. "Let her sleep with me. I'll pay more attention in the middle of the night to avoid running away."

"Absolutely not." Li Qing quickly waved his hand and looked at him obliquely. "Sleep with you? Can I rest assured?"

Du Huasheng retorted, "you really think you are a good product? I don't trust you!"

"Open two rooms, I'll sleep with you in one room," Li Qing said

"What about this girl? What if she runs away?"

Li Qing looked at the girl around her and said with a smile, "if she wants to run, I won't stop her, so she'll go."

"Sick." Du Huasheng scolded low, turned around and asked the hotel owner to open a double room and a single room, and then went upstairs with the key.

Finding the room number, Li Qing took the key and unscrewed the door. He looked around the room and nodded with satisfaction: "good."

"There's bath water. Although it's cold, it's good enough." Du Huasheng opened the door of the double room not far away and muttered, "I said five-star is not bad?"

"Indeed, there is no harm without comparison." Li Qing went into the room and put the lady's clothes on the bed.

"Take a bath, change your clothes, and have a good sleep. We'll live there and call me if you need anything." he handed the key to the girl. "Lock the door at night and let us know if you want to go out."

When he finished, he turned and walked towards his guest room.

Pushing open the door, Li Qing couldn't help turning around and looking back. Seeing that the girl was still standing at the door staring at herself, she squeezed her eyes and made a naughty face at her.

At that moment, Li Qing seemed to see her smiling at herself.

I don't know whether it's really laughing or my own illusion.

"Go back." Li Qing waved and walked into the guest room.

"Really abnormal..." Du Huasheng was changing the dressing for the wound and scolded angrily, "do we two big men have to live together?"

"I'm not worried about other girls running away, but I'm afraid you'll run away. I have to keep an eye on you before I find Mengdie." Li Qing said with a smile and took off her coat to take a bath.

Du Huasheng shouted, "Hey! What do you want? You don't really intend to take her? The road ahead is getting harder and harder. You'll regret it sooner or later."

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, but Li Qing didn't answer.

"Really bad luck." Du Huasheng scolded again and wrapped the gauze on his arm in circles. He suddenly frowned, his eyes full of helplessness.
