Chapter 22 He Didn't See the Stars

Zhang Yun answered the phone and briefly explained what Yu Zhou was looking for in the morning.Hou Xiaoyan hung up the phone and arrived at Zhan Ji an hour later, it was already past four o'clock.The restaurants near the university town are all busy. Even if there are a few fans in Zhan Ji taking turns to fan the wind, but there are more people, the heat cannot be dissipated.

The battle table was busy with work, Hou Xiaoyan stood at the door and took a look, but he didn't see Yu Zhou's person.He exited the store, stood at the door of the store and looked at the university city across the road, Yu Zhou probably went to deliver food.He was too lazy to move, so he leaned at the gate of Zhanji, the roar of cars on the street and the screaming of women were all in his ears, which was real and which was fake, and the boundaries were somewhat blurred.

Hou Xiaoyan touched the pocket of his trousers a little irritably, put the cigarette on between his fingers, and the flame was bright and dim.When the smoke was half burned, he barely took a bite in his mouth, turned around and snuffed it out and threw it into the trash can.

Zhan Xi was carrying a cardboard box, and he wanted to put it in front of the store, but when he saw Hou Xiaoyan standing in front of the store, he asked aloud, "Are you looking for Yu Zhou?"

Hou Xiaoyan nodded, took the cardboard box in his hand, put it on top of a pile of cardboard shells at the door, and asked, "Uncle Zhan, I didn't see Yu Zhou come back."

It was already dark at this moment, and the customers who came in and out of Zhan Ji didn't even see half of Yu Zhou.

The battle seat said: "Yu Zhou asked for two days' leave."

Hou Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment. With Yu Zhou's state, he would definitely not ask for leave rashly, "When did it happen?"

Zhan Xi said: "Yu Zhou left after one o'clock. He was restless early this morning. I asked him to go back to rest in the morning, but he refused. I guess he couldn't take it in the afternoon."

Someone in the room called out the boss, Zhan Xi turned his head and responded to the room, "Here we come."

Hou Xiaoyan withdrew his thoughtful expression, and said to the battle seat, "Uncle, go and do your work first, I'll go and see Yu Zhou."

Yu Zhou was slightly injured and couldn't get off the line of fire. He was the ancestor who went to the hospital with a pale face last time and was willing to stand up for nothing.Asking Yu Zhou to take the initiative to ask for two days off from the battle seat, Hou Xiaoyan couldn't think of anything good, especially with this ancestor.

The Zhan Xi said to Hou Xiaoyan with a somewhat complicated expression: "Okay, take care of the point, and tell him that he doesn't need to worry about Zhan Ji. You are young, and you will have trouble with yourself everywhere."

Hou Xiaoyan remembered Yu Zhou in his heart, he nodded towards the battle seat, and went to Yu Zhou's rented room.It was already four or ten minutes after we arrived at the rented room, and Hou Xiaoyan stood on the fourth floor and knocked on the door.

The sound of knocking on the door was very clear in the corridor. The neighbor on the opposite side ran to the door cursing. He glanced at it with cat eyes and saw Hou Xiaoyan was a young man over 1.8 meters tall. The door swore a few words with bluff.Hou Xiaoyan ignored him, the man saw that the young man seemed to be a bit powerful, so he walked away awkwardly.

After knocking for 5 minutes, there was no movement at the door.In the houses in the old city, the paint on the anti-theft door is a little peeled off, and it stands thick and old at the door, like a monument.

Hou Xiaoyan lit another cigarette, leaned against the anti-theft door, he called Zhang Yun, the other end answered, and he said: "Give me Zhan Ji's order number."

Zhang Yun looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, and said, "What time is it, and I'm not afraid of growing fat."

Hou Xiaoyan said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up."

Talking and hanging up the phone, Zhang Yun looked at the hung up phone, said yes, or quickly compiled Zhan Ji's phone number into a text message, and sent it to Hou Xiaoyan.

Hou Xiaoyan tapped the screen, and muttered to himself, "Ancestor, it's really hard to find you."

Zhan Xi answered the phone and asked, "Zhan Ji takeaway, is there..."

Hou Xiaoyan interrupted the battle seat and said, "Uncle Zhan is me, Hou Xiaoyan."

Hearing this, Zhan Xi said, "Hey, what's the matter?"

Hou Xiaoyan glanced at the closed anti-theft door, and asked, "Uncle, send me a text message with Yu Zhou's cell phone number. I'm at the door of his house, and I can't knock on the door."

The battle seat was a little anxious, and said: "This kid... what is he doing, he refuses to talk about things, he is stubborn."

Hou Xiaoyan asked: "Uncle, do you know where else Yu Zhou can go in Changzhou? Is his family in Changzhou?"

The battle seat hesitated and said a few words and didn't know, so Hou Xiaoyan had to put this idea on hold for the time being. Yu Zhou couldn't be behind the anti-theft door, what happened?

This person is the one who poured toilet water into his stomach last time.

Thinking of this, he also became a little irritable.A text message from the battle seat came, and he dialed the number, but the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Hou Xiaoyan gave up after broadcasting it twice. He turned around and wanted to go downstairs, clenched his hands, then turned around and knocked on the anti-theft door a dozen times.The anti-theft door upstairs opened, and a middle-aged man put on a coat and poked his head out from the top of the stairs. He cleared his throat and shouted, "What are you knocking for? No one is here."

Hou Xiaoyan turned around and met the eyes of the middle-aged man. He glanced at the man suspiciously, and the middle-aged man said, "You are looking for Yu Zhou, right? They moved out this afternoon."

Hou Xiaoyan didn't hear Yu Zhou mention the matter of moving. Did it happen suddenly, or Yu Zhou didn't intend to mention it at all.The latter seems to be Yu Zhou's style, but Hou Xiaoyan is still a little confused for the time being.

The middle-aged man had been listening to the movement downstairs for a while. He was the one who drove Yu Zhou away. He paid back the rent of the child, and the landlord also felt that he was in debt.Thinking about not meeting people face to face as much as possible, but the one downstairs is a persistent master.

The middle-aged man looked at Hou Xiaoyan for a while, and could only say, "I am his former landlord. He just returned the key this afternoon. If you want to find him, go look elsewhere."

Hou Xiaoyan said oh, and was about to leave. The landlord heaved a sigh of relief, and gathered the coat on his shoulders. Hou Xiaoyan's movement of going downstairs suddenly stopped, his head was slightly raised, his eyes were gloomy, and he said, "You forced him to ?”

Yu Zhou carried a backpack, which contained his summer quilt, clothes, and toiletries. It was not heavy, and he was traveling light.When he got off the train from Nanmen to Changzhou, his backpack was empty, only a university notice, his ID, and him as a living person.

He is a lonely ghost who accidentally wandered to Changzhou, and he came here after fleeing.

He asked for leave in Zhan Ji, cleaned up the rented house, picked up a few things and threw them into his backpack, and returned the keys to the landlord.It wasn't until it was slightly dark that he walked out of the rental building.

Yu Zhou lived in the old city for two years, and this was his only place to stay in Changzhou.The 300 yuan rent returned to him by the landlord remained in his pocket, and all the money he and Hou Xiaoyan earned recently were given to those debt collectors.

Yu Zhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, Hou Xiaoyan couldn't contact him, so he should have thought that he was running away with money.

He thought, the bank card still has the money saved before, and he will make up for Hou Xiaoyan in a few days, just as if he and Hou Xiaoyan borrowed it for two days.

When Yu Zhou saw a park, he found a street lamp with a broken bulb.It was dark here, and he sat on the bench, clasped his hands together, and lay down on it slowly and steadily.

Yu Zhou saw the sky full of dark clouds, but he didn't see the stars.
