Chapter 84 I'll just watch you eat
Although the guy living opposite the door agreed to Zhang Heng's proposal to have dinner together, he was still full of vigilance and kept a certain distance from Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng did not force the other party, at least the two of them have introduced each other's names and made a simple self-introduction, which has made considerable progress.
Zhang Heng already knew that the guy around him was Fabury Cott, very young, only 17 years old this year, and was traveling in New England. According to his own words, he mainly watched the natural scenery, visited historical sites, and studied the family genealogy. He originally planned to take the train from Newburyport to Arkham, but the ticket seller in Newburyport provided him with a more affordable travel plan.
That was to take the bus here to transfer, but Fabury Cott did not expect the evening bus to Arkham to be cancelled, so he had to spend the night here tonight.
During the conversation, Zhang Heng also learned that Fabury Cott arrived much earlier than he did. He took a car from Newburyport at 10 a.m. and had been wandering here for a long time, so he should have collected a lot of information, perhaps this can explain why he seems so panicked and alert now.
This unlucky child probably heard or saw something that he shouldn't have heard or seen, but when Zhang Heng asked about this, he immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Zhang Heng knew that this was because the two had just met for a while and their trust had not yet reached.
In addition, although Zhang Heng could also notice the gloomy and strangeness of this town, he did not feel too depressed or fearful. Instead, Fabery Cott around him was very disgusted and uneasy. In his words, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, and he wanted to give birth to a pair of wings and fly away directly.
The two walked out of the hostel.
Although the nearby buildings still look dirty, they are already pretty good in terms of the dilapidation of the entire town. They include grocery stores, pharmacies, fish wholesale markets, offices and restaurants of refineries, and a river in the center, forming the town center of the town.
But I don’t know if it’s because I’m off work or because I’m preparing for the evening celebration, most shops are closed, but fortunately the restaurant is still open.
There were two people inside, one man and one woman, among which the man had a thin face, with a hunched back, and his eyes looked very dull. Zhang Heng stared at him for a while and found that he had never blinked. If 173 of the S Foundation met him, he would probably only be able to hold his head and cry in the corner.
The woman on the other side had a flat nose, wearing a rustic clothes, bent down to wipe the table. Although she was suspected of being exposed, considering her appearance, no man was willing to take advantage of this.
In particular, Zhang Heng noticed that Faberricott around him began to feel uneasy again. Although neither of them had obvious deformities, they were both on the verge of deformities. According to the old man's previous statement, as he grew older, they were likely to become the old man.
It can be seen that if there is a choice, Fabury Cott would not want to enter this restaurant, but in the end he chose the latter between starvation and visual pollution.
He tried not to look at the faces of the two, and focused his eyes on the counter menu. After discovering that the food inside was mainly canned and ham, he was not disappointed, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
Apparently he didn't trust the people in the town and was therefore quite skeptical of the food they provided. A canned food with biscuits and a bowl of vegetable soup was enough for him.
Afterwards, he moved out of the position and asked Zhang Heng, "What are you eating?"
The latter said, "I didn't bring any money and was not very hungry. Just watch you eat."
“…………”
Fabury Cott stood there for a moment and finally sighed, "Forget it, I'll treat you."
Zhang Heng was not polite, and said to the man with a dull look, "Just give me one too."
After Fabury Cott paid the money, the woman with a flat nose got into the kitchen.
Zhang Heng and Faberricott also found a place far away from the counter to sit down.
The latter endured it for a while and couldn't help but speak, "You knocked on my door and asked me to have a meal, but you didn't bring any money on yourself?"
Zhang Heng nodded, dragged his chin and looked at the restaurant with interest. In order to welcome the evening celebration, it was obviously decorated here.
Fabury Cott frowned, and was unhappy, "...Did you treat me as a sucker?"
"I said I'm not very hungry, just eat it yourself," Zhang Heng turned his head, "You insisted on treating me."
"I...I'm just kind and kind."
"Then it's not too late for you to tell the back kitchen to cancel my share."
"It's so embarrassing...wait, you said that because you know I won't do that, right?"
"If you feel embarrassed, I can tell you for your help." Zhang Heng stood up as he said this.
"Are you bluffing?"
Zhang Heng did not answer, smiled, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
When he was about to walk to the door, Fabury Cott finally spoke again, "Okay, let's just stop here, there's not much money anyway."
But Zhang Heng did not stop when he heard this, but actually walked into the kitchen.
At this time, Fabury Cott felt a little embarrassed. After all, he received education since childhood that people would have difficulties. If he had the ability, he should still help. Besides, as he said, this meal would not cost much anyway, and even for a young man who was traveling in a poor manner, he stood up from his seat and rushed into the kitchen.
The dull man sitting behind the counter looked at the two of them without saying a word or stopping them.
The hygiene in the kitchen was not as bad as Fabericott imagined. Although there was still the unscathing fishy smell, and the walls were covered with mold, at least there were no rats and cockroaches. Zhang Heng was talking to the woman with a flat nose.
But then he was quickly interrupted by Fabury Cott, "No, no, no... don't listen to him, just prepare dinner like before."
However, the woman with a flat nose had a little slow reaction, as if she didn't understand what he was saying, and looked at Fabury Cott in confusion.
So Fabury Cott had to stretch out two more fingers, "Two servings! Two servings for meals."
At this moment, he noticed that Zhang Heng, who was beside him, took off the chef's knife hanging on the wall, and took two at a time, hid it in his clothes, and made a gesture to silence him.
Faberycott's eyes were about to fall off, and he immediately realized that someone was not pissing into the kitchen, but was trying to steal a knife. Of course, this behavior was not worthy of advocating. However, Faberycott hesitated for a while, but did not make any noise. His heart beating very quickly, and he followed Zhang Heng out of the kitchen.
