This hot pot restaurant called Killer Pot only has one kind of soup base, it's called Killer.
A group of people had no choice but to order the killer. There were a lot of side dishes, all kinds of meat and vegetables, and the main food was also dazzling. There was also a free fruit table in the hall, and a large pot next to it. There was mung bean soup inside and outside Write in big letters, sweet.
"What is a killer?" Xu Chuan asked Kou Chen after ordering, "It sounds a little unsteady, wouldn't it be hard to eat?"
"It's so bad that it can kill people..." Wei Chaoren said, "so it's called a killing pot."
"I'll know in a while, it's just a gimmick," Kou Chen said, "but it's delicious."
"What kind of mental preparation do we need to make?" Huo Ran asked.
"Just fucking eat hot pot," Kou Chen said, "what else do you need to prepare yourself for?"
"Prepare to be killed." Huo Ran said.
"Who dares to kill you," Kou Chen said, "think of me as a decoration."
"Then what about killing us?" Jiang Lei said, "You can't treat it differently, can you?"
"Actually, I," Kou Chen thought for a while, "every time I finish eating, I'll die, so please ask yourself for more happiness."
Probably because there was only one kind of soup base, the dishes were served quickly. There were only a few plates of the side dishes. A waiter pushed open the door of the box and shouted at them, "Everyone, please let it go, be careful of the heat."
There was no sound in the box, and everyone stared at the door together.
Two male waiters came in from outside the door, and together they carried a large copper pot. The two walked to the table, worked hard together, and lifted the pot and placed it in the middle of the table.
"Please take it slow," said the waitress who opened the door. "If you can't stand it, a little sweet soup in the hall will help."
"Damn it," Jiang Lei was the first to stand up and glanced at the pot, "Is this edible?"
In fact, you can already see it even if you don't stand up. The fire hasn't started yet, and the pot has been churning. The hot pot of soup, to be exact, is a pot of soup that is bright red.
"Let me tell you," Kou Chen said. "It's actually just a gimmick. It's nothing special. It's the death hotpot that ordinary people don't order... I know you can eat spicy food, so I said to eat this."
"We can eat spicy food, but it's not that spicy is immortal." Huo Ran poked his chopsticks into the soup, took it out, and licked it.
Immediately, he felt his face turn red within three seconds.
"How is it?" Hu Yi asked.
Everyone stared at his face.
"I think it should be rinsed first, then taken out and washed with plain water, and then eaten with dipping sauce," Huo Ran said, "This is more reasonable."
The whole group was happy, Xu Chuan picked up a chopstick of meat: "It's too troublesome, I decided to just eat it like this. A life without challenges is not a life."
"You weren't life either," Jiang Lei said. "We are single dogs, we have no life, only dogs."
"For the dog." Xu Chuan raised the drink cup.
"For the dog!" Everyone toasted together and finished a drink.
For people in non-spicy regions like them, the killing pot is almost enough to kill people. The milk delivered to each person on the table was drank within ten minutes, and the drinks were no longer needed. A carton of milk came over, and a small piece of sugar, they were almost eating a piece of candy with a mouthful of vegetables.
But for their teens, many things are up for grabs.
Like now.
No one will be the first to put down their chopsticks before all the dishes are eaten.
"Your face is red," Jiang Lei said.
"Why don't you have a big tongue when you don't drink." Wei Chaoren took a sip of milk.
"You don't have a small tongue, you can't tell what's going on yourself?" Jiang Lei said, "Fuck it, really, it's so hot that I have a big tongue."
"I feel like I'll be able to run away when I go out in a while, this one is burning." Hu Yi chewed the candy.
"That's it." Xu Chuan pointed at him immediately, "I'll run away when I go out."
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Do you think I'm so bad? I won't run if no one is with me."
"You're going to run when someone is with you?" Xu Chuan laughed, "And he said it wasn't bad."
A group of people laughed and poured another round of milk, Kou Chen poured the last plate of beef into the pot: "That's all, there's no more to eat."
Hearing this, a group of people whose eyes were almost blurred by the heat immediately stretched out their chopsticks and scrambled in the pot.
Huo Ran took out a few pieces of meat, hesitated for a while, and put it in the milk to rinse it, he felt that his reason had not been completely lost.
"Fuck, you really can." Kou Chen couldn't stop laughing beside him.
I feel that these people are more motivated to eat a hot pot of death than to drink a box of Erguotou.
Huo Ran's cell phone rang, and the people on the table who were breathing in and grabbing the meat didn't hear it. Only Kou Chen stopped his chopsticks and looked at him: "Xu Zhifan?"
"It should be," Huo Ran took out his phone and glanced at it, "Yes."
- She committed suicide. She was rescued in the hospital. She can't ask about the situation now, but she can't go. She may not be able to go to school tomorrow. Please ask for leave.
"I... fuck?" Huo Ran felt that his hot body from eating spicy food was instantly suppressed.
"What's wrong?" Kou Chen didn't wait for him to answer, he grabbed the phone and glanced at it, "Fuck, committed suicide?"
"Who?" Xu Chuan was stunned as he bit a piece of meat.
"That auntie Hu is in the hospital now," Kou Chen said, "Xu Zhifan just sent me a message."
Everyone at the table was stunned, no one spoke for a long time, only a pot of red soup was still churning.
"What about Xu Zhifan?" Xu Chuan asked.
"He was guarding at the hospital, saying he couldn't ask about the situation, but he couldn't leave," Huo Ran frowned, "Let's ask him for leave tomorrow."
"No, everyone is back, why are you still committing suicide!" Jiang Lei shouted, "What is this for!"
Huo Ran lowered his head and quickly replied to Xu Zhifan.
- Why commit suicide? Can it be rescued
- Probably took the medicine at home, I don't know what kind of medicine, I haven't seen her family now, it may be blood pressure medicine
"Will I die if I take a lot of antihypertensive drugs?" Huo Ran immediately looked at Kou Chen, "Check it out and see if you can find it."
- Have you been in the hospital today? Shall we go
- No, there is nothing wrong now, but they are not in a good mood. I dare not go to stimulate them. I am afraid that if they know my mother's situation, they will not tell me.
"It depends on how much you eat, usually it won't kill people, but if it's too much, it can cause shock or even death..." Kou Chen whispered while looking at his phone, "It still depends on how much you eat... But I think this aunt is a If there is something in my heart that I can’t get through, I just take the medicine and take it, maybe I don’t really want to die.”
"It's not the kind of person who can't be rescued at all and died," Huo Ran felt his hands trembling a little, "If she died, Xu Zhifan's mother wouldn't know when there would be news, and... this What should we do in the future, don't let the world turn upside down..."
This news is quite refreshing. After a group of people discussed it for a while, their mouths and stomachs eased a lot.
But Jiang Lei's mouth was swollen.
"I'm fucked up," Jiang Lei took out his phone and took a photo at himself, "Am I too tender?"
"Why take a selfie, just take a look, you still have the courage to take a selfie." Wei Chaoren sighed.
"I still have the courage to post it on the Moments," Jiang Lei said. "Send it to Xu Zhifan, and he will probably feel better after seeing it."
Jiang Lei posted a photo of himself with a swollen mouth on his Moments.
Everyone went to like and hahaha. After a few minutes, Xu Zhifan commented.
- fuck! Did Kou Chen make sausages for you by his dad
A group of people sat in the box and laughed wildly.
"I'll kill him when he comes back." Kou Chen pressed his finger viciously.
click.
When Huo Ran heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at his hand.
"Look," Kou Chen glared at him, "Can I still be dislocated!"
"It's okay to dislocate, I can get it back for you," Huo Ran said, "just don't break it."
"I'll tell you, I'll keep the accounts for you," Kou Chen said, "don't cry when you're liquidating."
Huo Ran smiled and said nothing.
Huo Ran's bed board was still in a messed up state, and the basin under the bed was made of plastic, and it was actually cracked by his buttocks.
"It's too damn shameless, what's the quality?" Huo Ran touched his butt, "Can the meat be smashed to pieces?"
"Thank you for being plastic, if it's iron," Kou Chen said, reaching out and patting his ass, "Your ass must be swollen by now, and maybe it will give you a bruise. "
"Go, go back to your dormitory and sleep." Huo Ran said.
"Where do you sleep? Now the dormitory manager doesn't have time to find a bed for you, right?" Kou Chen said, "Sleep with me..."
"Just sleep at Xu Zhifan's place," Huo Ran pushed him towards the door, "you don't need to sleep, tomorrow's exam, you have to do well tonight..."
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
"Are you still embarrassed to say such things?" Kou Chen turned his head and said with a smile.
"Good night." Huo Ran pushed him out of the dormitory.
"Good night," Kou Chen leaned against the door frame and called out to the dormitory again, "Good night, brothers."
"Good night—" Hu Yi and Jiang Lei responded with elongated voices.
Several people hadn't slept well that night. Huo Ran and Jiang Lei and Hu Yi had been talking about Xu Zhifan since they lay down, as did Kou Chen and the others.
If you only heard about this kind of thing, maybe no one would have any feeling, maybe not even interested in talking about it as a news story, after all, it is too common, suspected of being involved in pyramid schemes, one escaped and committed suicide. One is missing.
Compared with other social news, it is really inconspicuous.
But now this ordinary, inconspicuous thing happened to Xu Zhifan. Only when they went to class, ate together, bathed, fought, and bragged about their friends, they could deeply realize that such a thing was not at all. ordinary.
Xu Zhifan did not come to the exam.
Huo Ran sent him a message in the morning, and he replied in seconds, probably without resting all night.
-It seems to be stable now. I will go back to eat something later, and then I will come to the hospital to see if they are in a better mood. Can I ask my mother's condition
-Well, how do I and Lao Yuan ask for leave
- The high fever persists. If Lao Yuan doesn't believe it, he can call my dad. I told my dad
-OK
Xu Zhifan did not participate in the two-day final exam.
Huo Ran and the others kept enduring it, and did not forcefully go to the hospital to check the situation before the end of the exam.
After the final exam, the two of them went back to the dormitory together with a tacit understanding, put their things away and left the school gate together, standing at the gate waiting for the bus.
"Is he still in the hospital?" Kou Chen asked.
"Well," Huo Ran nodded, "Let's call him out when we get to the door of the hospital. I'm afraid he will say no need to go."
"Let's talk about it later," Kou Chen stood behind him, put his arm on his shoulder, and hung up. "If he can't find out about that aunt, I'll call my dad."
"What? Does your dad know someone?" Huo Ran turned his head away. He probably wore too much clothes after the cold weather. Kou Chen didn't hang it on him for a long time. Now that he leaned in like this, this move that would have made him helpless, actually made him feel helpless. Make him a little warm.
"I don't know, my dad knows a lot of people, everyone knows a little bit, some policemen, doctors, etc." Kou Chen said.
"Well." Huo Ran nodded, and after thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Kou Chen, "I really think you are a very good person, loyal and kind."
"Suddenly praising me like this, is there some conspiracy?" Kou Chen whispered in his ear, the joy of being praised in his voice.
"Your dad is demanding too much from you. I don't think you have any other problems other than your grades." Huo Ran said, "Oh, fighting, right? But fighting... Which boy doesn't fight? Look at Xu Zhifan. Top student, on the surface, he pulls me every day and doesn't let me fight, but in fact, he fights, even the girls fight, look at Li Jiaying."
"Let's see how we fought," Kou Chen smiled, "I don't have a lot of fights... but later, I did, but my dad didn't know me very well, plus... "
"Add what?" Huo Ran asked.
Kou Chen didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard.
Huo Ran hesitated for a while, didn't ask any further, just returned to the previous point: "Do you not spend much time with your father? Don't know you well?"
"My primary school was here. Later, my dad felt that the environment in my hometown was simpler, and my temperament and personality could change. I was in my hometown for both the junior high school and the first year of high school," Kou Chen said. "I changed schools later."
"No wonder you're not a local." Huo Ran said.
"What else did you say about me?" Kou Chen asked.
"I have money at home, especially if I can fight." Huo Ran said.
"The truth." Kou Chen nodded, looking very useful.
"Even the teacher beat me." Huo Ran said.
Kou Chen smiled and didn't speak. After a while, he clicked his tongue: "I'm really awesome."
The car drove directly to the back door of the hospital, and the inpatient department was closer to the back door, making it easier for Xu Zhifan to get out.
After getting out of the car, Huo Ran took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Xu Zhifan.
As soon as I called Xu Zhifan's number, a girl's voice came from the back door: "How do I know! If you ask me, I don't know! My mother didn't say anything, she is still very weak!"
"Is that Li Ling?" Kou Chen asked beside him.
Huo Ran admired Kou Chen's memory very much. He couldn't even tell whether the girl's hair was long or short despite this distance.
"Who is Li Ling?" Jiang Lei asked.
"That Aunt Hu's daughter, Xu Zhifan is getting younger?" Xu Chuan said.
"Past." Huo Ran put the phone back in his pocket, and ran to the back door with his legs.
After a few steps, he saw that the person who was blocked by Li Ling was Xu Zhifan, who was talking to Li Ling and looked a little anxious.
"Don't force me!" Li Ling shouted, "I'm in a hurry too, but you can't let me force my mother!"
"You're fucking finished!" A man's voice suddenly came from the back door.
"What are you doing! Don't do it!" Li Ling stopped a young man rushing out of the back door.
The young man pushed Li Ling away at once, and rushed towards Xu Zhifan, who had already hid down the steps. There were two men about his age behind him.
"Her brother!" Huo Ran suddenly became anxious. He felt that the murder pot that day had not been metabolized from his body. He was like drinking a spoonful of red soup. Roaring over there, "I'll see who the hell dares to do it!"
"Stand for Lao Tzu!" Xu Chuan also roared.
Huo Ran waited for Kou Chen's roar, but Kou Chen didn't say anything. He was probably charging for "Flying for Lao Tzu", but he rushed very hard and at an astonishing speed.
These two sounds were like a switch. The six people accelerated at the same time, and they were swept away by the wind.
