Fabricott waited for the flat-nosed woman to put the food on the table before turning away, and immediately lowered his voice, "What are you doing?"
"I took two chef's knives, didn't you see it?" Zhang Heng ate the canned food slowly
"I know you are stealing the knife, but the question is why are you stealing the knife?" Fabricot looked nervously, glanced at the dull-eyed man and woman, and then said to Zhang Heng, "Hey, I think ...you'd better put the knife back before they find out, I don't want to cause trouble, I just want to spend the night in peace, and then get out of this damn place."
"Yeah?"
"What is it?"
"Do you think you can get through the night in peace?"
Fabricott immediately became vigilant again when he heard the words, "Do you know what?"
"What do you know?" Zhang Heng asked back.
"..."
"How about this, let's exchange what we know."
"I don't know anything," Fabricott said almost reflexively, and then added, "I'm just a passenger passing by here."
"It's up to you, anyway, don't say I didn't warn you, something will happen here tonight, you'd better make some preparations."
"What preparation?"
"Can you use a knife?"
"No, I'm not going to sneak into the kitchen like you."
"It's okay, we can help you find something else."
"Um?"
Zhang Heng had already finished eating the canned food at this time, but he didn't intend to continue explaining this question, and asked Fabricott, "How long do you want to eat?"
Fabricott looked at the vegetable soup and cans that he had barely touched, swallowed them whole with his teeth, then grabbed the biscuits, "Let's go."
He didn't want to stay here any longer, firstly because the ugly-looking man and woman made him feel uneasy, and also because he didn't know when the incident of Zhang Heng stealing the knife would come out, it was like a bomb that didn't know when it would explode. Like a bomb, it made him fearful.
So the two left the restaurant and returned to the street.
Fabricott took two deep breaths, but unfortunately the lingering fishy smell in the air did not make him feel better.
And after walking a few steps, Fabricott suddenly asked suspiciously, "Have you ever felt that... the feeling of being stared at by someone?"
"There is no doubt, there are indeed people staring at us, or people in the town have been staring at us." Zhang Heng said lightly.
Fabricott turned his head, but he didn't see anyone watching, and during the time they were eating, there were a lot fewer people on the street, and the people who were still busy preparing for the celebration seemed to be When it's off-duty time, the employees are gone in the blink of an eye.
However, in those impenetrable buildings, in the darkness that cannot be seen behind the door panels and curtains, Fabricot instinctively sensed that something was lying there watching them, and at this time the last ray of light had disappeared Gone, the incandescent lights on the side of the road turned on.
But the light was very weak, and it could only illuminate a place not far away, and under that dim light, the whole town looked even more weird and mysterious.
"I think we'd better go back to the lodge," Fabricotte suggested. "When I was in Newburyport, I heard people say that it's not safe here at night, and strangers are often here. Missing, there will be some strange noises at night, they advise me not to go out after dark."
"Don't worry, our friends probably haven't planned to do anything yet." Zhang Heng said, he took the lead and walked to the grocery store, Fabricott could only helplessly follow behind, and at the same time couldn't help complaining.
"There's nothing to see here, it's closed for get off work."
Zhang Heng was noncommittal. He leaned on the glass of the door and took a look in. After confirming that there was no one inside, he took out a chef's knife from under his clothes and easily smashed the glass with the handle. Then he reached in and twisted it open. door handle.
"You, you, you!!!" Fabricott's eyes widened. He originally thought that stealing a chef's knife was enough, but he didn't expect Zhang Heng to have a plan to rob the grocery store.
He could barely pretend he didn't see the former, but the latter had obviously exceeded his bottom line. He didn't want to become someone's criminal accomplice somehow, so when Zhang Heng opened the door and motioned him to go in, not only did he not In, but back a few steps.
"You're crazy!"
"I don't think so," Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "I know exactly what I'm doing now, but it's you, ever since I met you, you've looked like you've lost your mind, you're afraid of what you hear or see something, but refuses to believe it."
"If you heard what I heard, you would be like me." Fabricott immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth. This sentence was tantamount to admitting that he had indeed heard something, so he went on Quickly said, "That's it, it's time to separate. I think it's better for us to go our separate ways. Whether you want to steal a knife or rob a grocery store, it's all your own business. I don't want to Nothing to do with you."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and took two steps, then stopped, "If, if you are arrested by the people in the town, you have to tell them that it has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Heng blinked his eyes when he heard this, "People in the town have been watching us secretly, but no one has come out until now. Do you think they will take care of this kind of thing?"
Fabricott was startled when he heard the words, "I don't know, it's just our feeling after all, I don't want to get into any trouble."
"The prerequisite for your wish to come true is that you are not in any trouble yourself."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm going back. I suggest you don't stay outside for too long." Fabricott obviously didn't want to argue with Zhang Heng anymore, and ended the relationship between the two with these words After communicating, he turned his head and hurried towards the hostel.
Zhang Heng watched him walk into the gate of the hostel, stood under the streetlight for another half a minute, and then turned and walked into the grocery store.
His "ransacking" of the grocery store was not simply to find weapons for Fabricotte. In fact, Zhang Heng himself also had needs. Although he bought two chef's knives in the restaurant, only two knives were obviously not enough for tonight All situations that may arise.
Zhang Heng found flashlights, candles, ropes, fishing lines, and whiskey in the grocery store... Besides, the biggest surprise was that he got a rifle, two revolvers, and some bullets. Zhang Heng found them. A large backpack, stuffing everything he thinks is useful.
