The restaurant was very deserted, with few people.

Shopkeeper Xu said: "The business has been closed for a few days, so I gave them a holiday, leaving only two or three people here to help."

Jiang Ziyan nodded, "You can handle the restaurant business as you see fit. You have worked hard these few days."

"It's all I should do. Is my boss hungry, or should I ask the back kitchen to prepare some meals?"

They didn't eat at noon, and the stomachs of the three of them were empty, especially Zhang Qiu, who was already hungry.

He yelled: "Hurry up, let the kitchen make more delicious food and bring it here."

"Alright, it will be served in a while."

Originally, there were three chefs in the back kitchen cooking, but during the critical period, only one person was kept, and the other two were close to home, so they went back.The small milk tea shop next to it was also closed, leaving only a cook, a waiter, and shopkeeper Xu in the entire restaurant.

Originally, some time ago, when the farming was busy, there were fewer people in the restaurant, and every household had work to do, and those who could ask for leave would ask for leave and go home to work.

The three of Jiang Ziyan went directly to the main room in the backyard. There was no change of clothes here, so they couldn't stay longer.And although there is Feng Ke in the family, there is no need to worry, but the other three in the family are still children, so he is really worried.

"Brother Zhang, we have to get up early tomorrow morning, thank you for your hard work."

"I said Brother Yan, why are you still being polite to me at what time?"

There was a lot of meat left in the back kitchen. Chef Liu stewed a pork knuckle for them, fried a plate of lotus root box, fried a few meat dishes, and served a pot of white rice, and Xiaoer brought them to the table.

Shopkeeper Xu was also sitting in the main room in the backyard, Jiang Ziyan said, "Shopkeeper Xu, let's sit down and eat together."

Shopkeeper Xu was flattered when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, it's against the rules."

"I don't have so many rules here, so many dishes, you can eat enough for one more person."

Seeing this, shopkeeper Xu no longer shirked his excuses, and sat down to eat together after washing his hands.

The sky outside has completely darkened, and lightning and thunder appear one by one, wreaking havoc in the night sky quite presumptuously, as if this night is its special event.

After another dull thunder, the meal was finished.It was very dark in the room, and the oil lamp was already lit.

Zhang Qiu leaned back on the chair and burped comfortably, touched his round belly, and said with satisfaction: "Food is the best way to fill the emptiness in my heart!"

Shopkeeper Xu had already taken the initiative to clean up the dishes. Jiang Ziyan saw Lin Zhaoyi looking out at the door, walked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the lightning."

In the dark night sky, the pattering rain continued to fall, and the lightning bolts twisted like a roaring dragon with its teeth and claws.

"What's so interesting about lightning?" Jiang Ziyan really didn't understand.Ordinary people should be afraid when they see lightning and thunder, right?

"It's nothing to see, it just reminds me of the days in Qingping Village. It rained heavily one year, and I went hunting in the mountains. I was unlucky and didn't catch anything. I didn't give up, and I kept waiting near the traps. I finally found a rabbit that fell into the trap. I was very happy at the time, but I didn’t expect that it would rain heavily before I walked down the mountain. It was already dark, and the road was difficult to walk at night, and the mountain road was slippery, and I fell several times.”

This was the first time Jiang Ziyan heard Lin Zhao take the initiative to mention the past. He was only a young man at that time, and how difficult it must be for one person to make a living for two brothers, it sounds distressing.

He stepped forward and embraced him from behind. Unfortunately, he was not as tall as Lin Zhao, so he could only put his head on his shoulder.

"It's okay, those hard days are over, and a bright future is waiting for you in the future."

Sensing the pain in the words of the person behind him, and taking the initiative to embrace him, Lin Zhao curled the corners of his lips where Jiang Ziyan could not see, since he is pitiful, let him be pitiful to the end.

"Well, I know. Maybe all the hard times I lived in the past were to accumulate luck to meet you."

What he said sounded like a love story, but Jiang Ziyan just frowned slightly, and didn't think much about it, but thought that this person might regard him as a benefactor and savior.

"Azhao is so smart, even if he hadn't met me, he would definitely have a great fortune of his own in the future."

Zhang Qiu was still sitting at the table in the back, watching the two people getting closer at the front door, he felt a little awkward for a big old man, and coughed a few times in a loud voice, but Jiang Ziyan didn't notice it, but instead He turned his head and asked, "Brother Zhang, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Lin Zhao saw what he meant, but he didn't want to leave this warm embrace, and seemed concerned: "Could it be that you caught a cold while driving the carriage today?"

Seeing this, Zhang Qiu retorted: "You boy, don't curse me here, I'm in good health, what do you like! I'm going to sleep."

After Zhang Qiu left, Jiang Ziyan realized that at some point, the hand he had wrapped around Lin Zhao was being held by him.

Lin Zhao's hand was bigger than his own, and it was hot on the back of his hand. When he moved, he felt a little hot, and wanted to pull his hand back.

But Lin Zhao turned his head and said, "Don't move, my hands are cold and warm."

Because Jiang Ziyan's chin was just at the position of his shoulder, Lin Zhao turned his head, and his warm lips just brushed against the tips of his ears, and the hot air of his words was blowing against his ears, always feeling that something was wrong, but Can't tell what's wrong.

Jiang Ziyan held the hand he wanted to withdraw so firmly, not daring to move it.

Lin Zhao's careful thinking succeeded, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his brother was always so soft-hearted towards him.

After a while, Lin Zhao finally let go of his hand, but then turned around and took his little hand again, saying, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

The sky was very dark, and there were no watches in this era, so Jiang Ziyan couldn't tell what time it was, so he nodded and said, "Let's go."

It's just that the two of them were holding hands, giving him the illusion of a girl from a previous life going to the bathroom hand in hand.In the end, he came to the conclusion that Lin Zhao lacked companionship, so he let him drag him back.

There are only two sleeping rooms in the backyard, and shopkeeper Xu in front and the three of them all slept in the wing room on the third floor.

Zhang Qiu had already gone to bed in one of the rooms in the backyard, and there was one room left.

"Brother Wrong will squeeze with me tonight."

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it." Jiang Ziyan said, the good buddies in the dormitory used to sleep in the same bed together.Besides, it's not that the two of them have slept together before, no matter how they sleep, this bed can't be smaller than the bed in his previous dormitory.

"Squeeze to sleep." Jiang Ziyan visually inspected the bed, which may be 1.5 meters wide, and said, "Do you sleep inside or outside?"

"I can do it, brother, choose first."

Jiang Ziyan was not polite to him and chose to sleep outside.He is used to sleeping on the outside, and it is easier to get up.

This day was really tiring from the journey, so the two of them washed up a little and then lay down.

Jiang Ziyan is used to lying on his side when he sleeps. He faces outside, gathers the quilt around his body, closes his eyes and prepares to fall asleep.

After a while he fell asleep, and vaguely heard rustling sounds coming from his ears, and then a warm chest was pressed against his back, and one hand was still on his waist.

Before Jiang Ziyan could speak, Lin Zhao stuck to the back of his neck and said, "Brother, the quilt is a bit small. You are too far away from me and I can't cover it. It's so windy in the middle."

Jiang Ziyan felt the same, and there was nothing he could do with the small quilt. After all, there were two big men here, but when Lin Zhao talked, the heat always rubbed against his neck, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It's just that he was too sleepy, so he patted Lin Zhao's hand on his waist and said, "Well, then get closer to me and go to sleep."

In the dark, Lin Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, and pressed his whole body against him, with his lips imprinted on the back of his neck. Unfortunately, Jiang Ziyan was already too sleepy, and felt a soft coolness on the back of his neck, and then entered the room. Dreamland.

Lin Zhao can sleep well at night, provided that he is not woken up in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night, while the rain was still falling, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

The knock on the door was fast and urgent, and the rain outside was so loud that the people in the house couldn't hear it at all.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and the knocking on the door continued. Shopkeeper Xu had the habit of getting up in the middle of the night. He had just returned from his urination when he heard someone knocking on the door of the restaurant.

He played back and put on some clothes and went downstairs. He stopped after approaching, and the knock on the door stopped.

Rainy night, lightning, thunder, and strange knocking on the door, he shouldn't encounter anything unclean, right?

Forget it, let's go back to the house and go to sleep.

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Xu had just turned around when the knock on the door rang again. He trembled in fright. I heard a few faint gasps, and a few words like "Open the door, save me".

It was raining heavily outside, and there might be someone who needed to stay in the shop on a night trip. Shopkeeper Xu boldly moved the wooden stick away, shook his hands to remove the bolt, and opened the door.

A flash of lightning flashed down, and he saw the face of the person in front of the door squarely. The man's hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood and he leaned half against the door frame, so frightened that shopkeeper Xu said directly: "Ghost!"

The door was about to close immediately, but the man fell down straight after the door opened, and shopkeeper Xu couldn't close the door.

After calming down, shopkeeper Xu took a self-study look, then touched the man's arm, it was warm, it was a person.

It was raining so hard outside, thinking of what I just saw, this man's face was covered with blood, he might have been injured, if he died at the door if he didn't save him, how would the restaurant do business in the future.

He couldn't drag himself, so he went up to wake Xiao Er up, and the two of them carried him into the lobby.

In the middle of the night, I met a man with blood all over his face. It was a big deal. It happened that the owner was here, and the shopkeeper Xu seemed to have a backbone, so he hurried to the backyard and knocked on Jiang Ziyan's door.

Lin Zhao was a light sleeper, and he woke up just after knocking on the door a few times. He didn't wake Jiang Ziyan, so he put on his clothes and got out of bed. When he opened the door, he saw that it was shopkeeper Xu. Time to knock.

He closed the door and whispered: "Brother is still asleep, don't bother him, let's go to the front yard and talk about something."

When he arrived at the lobby of the front yard, Lin Zhao saw a person lying on the ground at a glance, with wet strands of hair sticking to his face in a mess, and this person's face was covered with blood, so he couldn't see clearly.

"what happened?"

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly told what happened tonight, and finally said: "That's how it happened. I was afraid that he would die at the door of our restaurant, so I dragged him in."

Xiao Er handed over the oil lamp, and after getting closer, Lin Zhao saw several wounds on the man's body, but they should all be skin trauma, the most serious one should be the wound on the head, which was bleeding all the time.

Lin Zhao said to Xiao Er: "Go to the medical clinic and invite a doctor to come over, remember to hurry up."

Just at this moment, the cook who stayed behind also woke up, got up and went downstairs, before he could find out the situation, he heard Lin Zhao say: "Now go and boil a basin of hot water to wipe his body."

The cook hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water, and Lin Zhao said to shopkeeper Xu, "Find some clean white cloth, and bring a pair of scissors."

If the wound on the head is not bandaged, this person's life may be in danger.

The nearest medical clinic to the restaurant usually takes two quarters of an hour to go back and forth from here, not to mention it is still raining outside and there is still water on the road, it will take a little time for Xiaoer to go to the doctor.

It also took a quarter of an hour for the cook to boil the water, but shopkeeper Xu brought the scissors and white cloth first.

Lin Zhao picked up the scissors and cut some hair from the man's wound, and then bandaged him briefly with a white cloth.

After a while, the cook brought hot water, soaked a white cloth and wiped the man's body.When the white cloth wiped off the blood on the man's face and revealed his face, both Lin Zhao and shopkeeper Xu were taken aback. This man turned out to be Zhu Bingliang, the young master Zhu who had discussed cooperation with Jiang Ziyan before.
