Chapter 189 Shrimp Claypot Rice
Lu Bai groped around on his body and said, "I don't have any money."
This is the truth.
He had already borrowed a whole set of clothes from the shop owner, and borrowing more money would be a bit much.
"No money?"
The green-haired young man spat, stood up unhappily, and raised his voice to increase the intensity of his intimidation: "Then if I find any money on you, it will be mine, how about it?"
Pedestrians passing by noticed the conflict on their side, but no one stood up and spoke up.
Most of them had playful smiling faces, and some onlookers walked out of the shop and whistled at the green-haired young man, looking like they were having fun.
Chikan Bay is like this.
Shootings in the street happened almost every day, people were blocked on the road and extorted money, and so on.
In fact, if the green-haired young man hadn't taken the lead, other gangsters would probably have caused trouble.
Lu Bai looked easy to bully.
After the green-haired young man saw that Lu Bai had no reaction, he took a step forward and planned to search it himself.
"Stop scaring me."
However, Lu Bai took half a step back and reminded sincerely: "As a person who has played 4399 mini-games since I was a child and always wanted to open the invincible version, how can I withstand pressure?"
The green-haired young man didn't know what 4399 was, but he obviously felt that Lu Bai was not scared by him.
This made him even more unhappy: "Then I will let you resist the pressure today!"
As he spoke, he raised his fist, intending to punch Lu Bai in the face.
At this moment, a loud banging sound suddenly sounded from the store not far away.
That was the sound of a kitchen knife hitting the cutting board.
Lu Bai looked in the direction of the sound and noticed that it was a girl with an apron tied around her waist.
She stood in the semi-open kitchen, dressed simply, with no makeup on her face, but she could not hide her gentle beauty like the sister next door, and because of her age of about seventeen or eighteen years old, she added A bit of a natural youthful and pleasant feeling.
At this moment, she was staring straight at the green-haired young man, her small face still rosy with a little anger.
Logically speaking, such an angry little girl would not scare the gangsters at all, it would only make them more excited.
However, the green-haired young man sighed helplessly and waved his hand towards the little girl: "What do you think? I was just joking with this little brother."
After saying that, he immediately put his arm around Lu Bai's shoulders and said threateningly: "Xiao Bai, do you think so?"
Seeing the situation develop to this point, many of the surrounding onlookers booed.
What's more, they directly ridicule loudly.
"Brother Xia, why are you so scared?"
"You can't stand up for anything. Is it okay for a brother like you to be so afraid of Xiamei?"
"Let it go, let it go, this guy is just a girl control guy."
The green-haired young man immediately slapped his neck and responded verbally.
For a time, the streets were filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
It's as if I jumped from the set of Young and Dangerous to a love apartment.
To be honest, this is actually not a good sign. Such a rapid change means that the residents of Chikan Bay are accustomed to illegal activities.
Fighting someone to death or something like that is at most a minor episode in their daily life.
Xiamei ran out and pulled Lu Bai towards the store.
Seeing this scene, the green-haired young man didn't say anything, but the neighbors started joking.
"Brother Xia, be careful of your sister turning her elbows outward."
"Yes, yes, but be careful. That pretty boy looks really good-looking. This is what these women do now."
The green-haired young man curled his lips.
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense. My sister is just kind-hearted. You just met her today?"
…
Shrimp Claypot Rice. Before entering the store, Lu Bai glanced at the sign on the door.
At this time in the afternoon, the store was very cold and there were no customers.
Xiamei didn't say a word the whole time, which made the store seem even quieter.
She walked to the counter, took a ballpoint pen, wrote a line on the back of the invoice, and handed it to Lu Bai.
[Don’t mind, my brother just wants to make money to help me treat my illness. 】
Xiamei's handwriting was beautiful, but Lu Bai's attention was quickly attracted by the content of the note.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at the girl in front of him, and silently raised his finger to his mouth: "You..."
Xiamei did not shy away and nodded calmly.
Then she picked up an abandoned invoice and wrote on the back.
[You must be scared, right? I'll treat you to dinner, and then don't blame my brother. 】
Although I was not scared, but...
Lu Bai had indeed not eaten for a long time. Since he could have a meal, why not?
The smile on his face was extremely kind: "You are too polite."
Xiamei waved her hands in embarrassment, turned around and entered the kitchen as if she was running away.
The semi-open kitchen design itself is designed to allow guests to eat with peace of mind.
Especially in a chaotic place like Chikan Bay, self-employed restaurants basically have to follow this design, otherwise business will not be good.
Not long after, Xiamei brought a bowl of claypot rice and placed it in front of Lu Bai.
Anyway, there were no other guests at this moment, so she simply sat down in front of Lu Bai and wrote with a ballpoint pen.
[You can leave as soon as you finish eating. This place is not suitable for you. 】
"Doesn't Chikan Bay welcome outsiders?"
Lu Bai picked up a piece of shrimp with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth. It tasted very smooth.
Xia Mei shook her head, she thought for a moment and wrote.
[People like you should not come to Chikan Bay. 】
Lu Bai glanced at Xiamei, then lowered his head and took two bites of rice.
"But I have nowhere else to go."
When he spoke, he still had that gentle look on his face.
But in Xiamei's eyes, it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings, so she hurriedly wrote with a pen.
Unfortunately, just halfway through writing, the green-haired young man had already returned to the store.
He was shocked when he saw the situation in the store.
"Damn! Even if you didn't pay the protection fee, how come you still get it?"
The shrimp girl turned to look at the green-haired young man with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
Brother Xia twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, let this kid finish eating and leave the head office quickly, right?"
Xiamei crumpled the half-written note into a ball, wrote a new one, and showed the contents of the note to Brother Xiabao.
[He is homeless, he is pitiful. 】
After Brother Xia finished reading, he asked warily: "What does it have to do with us?"
Seeing Xiamei's expression becoming aggrieved, he complained endlessly.
"Little ancestor, we still have to save money to treat your illness. How can we afford to help you..."
While the brother and sister were talking, Lu Bai had already finished the bowl of shrimp claypot rice in front of him.
He placed his chopsticks flat on the edge of the bowl and said, "Don't worry Brother Xia."
After saying that, Lu Bai stood up and walked towards the door.
When he reached the door of the store, he stopped, turned around and added with a smile to Xiamei.
"The claypot rice is delicious, thank you."
