Chapter 322 The Child I Pushed (11)
The TV in the box was playing the Spring Festival Gala as background music, trying to add a touch of joy to the atmosphere in the room, but even if this was not done, the atmosphere in the box was enough It was getting lively, everyone at the table was so drunk that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and the voices urging people to drink sounded like they were quarreling, which made people feel irritated.
But not everyone drinks. Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita do not. Qian Xiaoyi came here on an excuse and was not allowed to drink and drive. Inuyama Heita was simply a minor, so at the beginning After a few symbolic sips of the drink, no drunkard came to see Qian Xiaoyi.
Faced with a table of delicacies, the two of them turned into gluttons and kept stuffing food into their mouths. Their mouths were bulging. A table of dishes like this is extremely expensive in Japan, and it is usually expensive. I couldn’t find such an authentic taste, so of course I had to gorge on it.
"This is delicious, so is that...is that a frog? Damn it, but it's also delicious." Inuyama Heita used to work here, but he found that the table was full of dishes he had never seen before. After asking Qian Xiaoyi, I found out that these are authentic Chinese dishes, and the menus usually shown to Japanese people are all misleading.
It’s not that the food usually sold is not delicious, but it is more in line with the “Chinese style” in the eyes of the Japanese.
On the table, there are all kinds of hard dishes such as crystal elbows, nine-turn large intestine, Buddha jumping over the wall, Cantonese roast goose, etc. Before you even taste the taste, your eyes are full of the meal, which makes Inuyama Heita's mind well up. I felt a sense of astonishment: "What on earth is the food I usually eat?"
Besides the two guys who came over to enjoy the meal, there was another person who didn’t drink, and he was the owner of this banquet.
Although it was at night, Zhang Chunfa was still wearing his iconic sunglasses, so that people could not see his eyes and guess what he was thinking. At this time, he was holding the coconut milk in his hand. , take a sip from time to time, and when someone comes to propose a toast, he will raise the glass gently. No one dares to persuade him to drink. He doesn’t eat much. Maybe he is tired of the dishes in front of him. The noise around him seems to be different from his It's the same two worlds.
After the drinks were almost done, it was time to leave the table. Qian Xiaoyi asked the waiter to pack the remaining dishes and asked Heita Inuyama to take the train back. He could still eat two meals tomorrow, while he himself Stay and wait for something.
Zhang Chunfa exchanged some words with a mother and son at the door of the box. After sending them away, he snapped his fingers at Qian Xiaoyi and said, "It's done. I'll let my wife and son go home first. Are you full? I'll take you with me." Let’s go to the sauna.”
“Is my sister-in-law a local?” Qian Xiaoyi looked at the leaving woman, her posture did not look like a Chinese.
"That's right." Zhang Chunfa said: "You have settled here. It's more convenient to find a local place. You don't have to run back and forth."
They went downstairs and Zhang Chunfa took him up. He took his own car and said to the driver: "Rongzi, go to the sento (bathhouse)."
The car started, and the three people in the car were all silent. Zhang Chunfa leaned on the seat and took off his sunglasses. , rubbing his brows, with no intention of speaking, Qian Xiaoyi naturally wouldn't run out of things to say.
Fortunately, we soon arrived at our destination, which was an old-fashioned Japanese bathhouse that looked very old-fashioned.
Zhang Chunfa put on his sunglasses and led Qian Xiaoyi in. Behind the counter was an uncle wearing reading glasses and reading a newspaper. When he saw Zhang Chunfa, he smiled and said in Japanese: "Mr. Zhang is here? Today is the Spring Festival in China, right? I wish you a happy new year. Did you bring your friends over for a bath?”
“Yes, my friends from China. ." Zhang Chunfa smiled and said: "Congratulations on getting rich, Uncle Sanlang."
Qian Xiaoyi nodded to the gatekeeper, and the other party responded in a friendly way. He was a kind newspaper reader, but Qian Xiaoyi noticed that the little finger and ring finger of the hand holding the newspaper were both broken, leaving only three fingers. "Here, the key to the cabinet, go in and change clothes." Zhang Chunfa took two key tags from the uncle's hand and threw one to Qian Xiaoyi.
The two put their clothes away, then entered the bathhouse holding a small wooden basin in their hands and towels on their shoulders.
Compared to the cool-toned gangster bathhouses in movies, this one is actually just like any other bathhouse, with bright lights and mist. The walls beside the bathhouse are decorated with tiles with patterns of Mount Fuji and blue sky. It is very old-school. .
There are many people taking a bath here at this time. They are all middle-aged and elderly people. They even look similar to the bathhouse where Qian Xiaoyi often goes. But the only difference is that the appearance of these middle-aged and elderly people is There are often large areas of tattoos on the back. Qian Xiaoyi even saw an old man with 80% of his body covered in tattoos walking past him.
“Are you scared?” Zhang Chunfa said: “I’m sorry, in our profession, we all have tattoos on our bodies. You know, we are not allowed to enter the general bathhouse, so we have to do it ourselves. It’s a bathhouse. I come here to take a dip every now and then.”
Qian Xiaoyi said: “I’m not scared, but I’ve only seen it on TV before.”
"It's nothing, they're just retired old men." Zhang Chunfa waved his hands and said, "It'll be fine."
The two of them found a shower head respectively, rinsed their bodies first, and then waited for Qian Xiaoyi After rinsing, Zhang Chunfa was already sitting in the pool, resting his hands on the edge of the pool, enjoying the moisture of the hot water. And it's worth mentioning that even at this time, he was still wearing sunglasses.
Qian Xiaoyi also got into the pool. The water level was up to his shoulders, which made him sigh in comfort.
No one spoke until two minutes passed before Zhang Chunfa spoke: "Only at this time can I feel calm... Brother Qian, you suddenly came to me a few days ago and asked me I...don't know how to tell you about that."
"Explanation?" Qian Xiaoyi turned to look at Zhang Chunfa.
"You ask me for an explanation?" Zhang Chunfa smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he turned to another topic and said, "You must think it's funny. I even wear these sunglasses when I take a bath." Cool, he's not a kid anymore... But there's a reason for that, because..."
He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of normal-looking black eyes, but then, he did A surprising move.
He stretched his finger to his left eye, tapped the eyeball with his nail, and made a clear "tap-tap" sound, and said: "It is because of this that I am blind in this eye. "
Qian Xiaoyi finally noticed that his left eye had no focus and looked lifeless. If you look carefully, you can easily see something is wrong. He thought deeply: "It turns out that it is because he doesn't want to be seen by others. Do you think you are wearing sunglasses all day long? "
"So..." Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Is your eyes like this because of that incident twenty years ago?"
