Chapter 723 I’ll Just Watch You Eat It

Although the guy who lived across the door agreed to Zhang Heng's proposal to go to dinner together, he was still wary and kept a certain distance from Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng did not force the other party. At least the two of them had introduced each other's names and briefly introduced themselves, which was considered to be considerable progress.

Zhang Heng already knew that the guy next to him was called Fabricot. He was very young. He was only 17 years old this year. He was traveling in New England. According to him, he mainly wanted to enjoy the natural scenery, visit historical sites, and also study family genealogy. Originally, The intention was to take the train directly from Newburyport to Arkham, but the conductor at Newburyport offered him a more affordable travel option.

That was to take the bus and transfer here, but Fabricot didn't expect that the evening bus to Arkham would be cancelled, so he could only spend the night here tonight.

During the conversation, Zhang Heng also learned that Fabricot arrived much earlier than him. He took the 10 a.m. train from Newburyport and had been wandering here for half a day, so he should have A lot of information has been collected, which may also explain why he seems so panicked and vigilant now.

This unlucky kid probably heard or saw something he shouldn't have heard or seen, but when Zhang Heng asked about this, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Zhang Heng knew that this was because the two had just met and their level of trust was not yet established.

In addition, although Zhang Heng could also sense the gloom and weirdness of this town, he did not feel too depressed or frightened. On the contrary, Fabricot next to him acted very disgusted and uneasy. In his words, I don't want to stay here for a moment, I just want to grow a pair of wings and fly away.

The two walked out of the hotel.

Although the nearby buildings still look dirty, judging from the dilapidation of the entire town, they are pretty good. There are grocery stores, pharmacies, fish wholesale markets, refinery offices and restaurants, and there is a strip in the center. The river together forms the center of the town.

But I don’t know whether it was because I got off work at that time, or because I was preparing for the evening celebration. Most of the shops were closed, but fortunately the restaurant was still open.

There were two people inside, a man and a woman. The man had a thin face, a hunched back, and his eyes looked very dull. Zhang Heng stared at him for a while and found that he had not blinked. If the SCP Foundation's 173 encounter When it comes to him, the only thing he can do is hug his head and cry in the corner.

The woman on the other side has a flat nose, is wearing a rustic dress, and is bending down to wipe the table. Although she is suspected of exposing herself, considering her dignity, probably no man is willing to take advantage of her.

In particular, Zhang Heng noticed that Fabricot beside him began to feel uneasy again. Although neither of them had obvious deformities, they were both on the verge of deformities. According to what the old man said before, as they grow older, They may also become old people.

It was obvious that Fabricot would not want to enter this restaurant if he had a choice, but in the end he chose the latter between starvation and visual pollution.

He tried not to look at the faces of the two of them and focused his attention on the menu on the counter. When he found that the food inside was mainly canned food and ham, instead of being disappointed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously he didn't trust the people in the town very much, so he was quite skeptical of the food they provided. A can with biscuits and a bowl of vegetable soup was enough for him.

After that, he stepped aside and asked Zhang Heng, "What do you eat?"

When the latter heard this, he said, "I didn't bring any money, and I'm not very hungry. I just watch you eat."

"…………"

Fabricot stood there struggling for a moment, and finally sighed, "Forget it, I'll treat you."

Zhang Heng was not polite and said to the man with dull eyes, "Just give me a copy."

After Fabricot paid, the flat-nosed woman got into the back kitchen.

Zhang Hengye and Fabricot found a place to sit down away from the counter.

The latter endured it for a while but couldn't help but said, "You knocked on my door to ask me to come out for dinner, but you didn't bring any money with you?"

Zhang Heng hummed, dragging his chin and looking at the restaurant with interest. It was obviously decorated to welcome the evening celebration.

Fabricot frowned, feeling unhappy at the same time, "...Do you think I'm the one who was taken advantage of?"

"I told you that I'm not really hungry. You can just eat by yourself." Zhang Heng turned around, "You insisted on inviting me."

"I...I'm just being polite."

"Then it's not too late for you to tell the chef to cancel my share."

"This is too embarrassing...wait, you said that because you knew I wouldn't do it, right?"

"If you feel embarrassed, I can help you say it." Zhang Heng stood up as he said this.

"Are you bluffing?"

Zhang Heng didn't answer, smiled, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

When he was about to reach the door, Fabricot finally spoke again, "Okay, let's stop here. It doesn't cost much anyway."

But Zhang Heng didn't stop when he heard this, and actually walked into the kitchen.

At this time, Fabricot felt a little embarrassed. After all, the education he received since childhood was that when people are in trouble, they should still help if they have the ability. Besides, as he said himself , anyway, this meal didn't cost much, even for a young man who was traveling on a budget, so he stood up from his seat and rushed into the kitchen together.

The man with dull eyes sitting behind the counter just looked at the two of them without saying anything or stopping them.

The hygienic condition of the kitchen was not as bad as Fabricot imagined. Although there was still the lingering smell of fish, and although the walls were covered with mold, at least there were no mice or cockroaches. Zhang Heng He was talking to the woman with the flat nose.

But he was quickly interrupted by Fabricot, "No, no, no... don't listen to him, just prepare dinner as before."

However, the reaction of the woman with the flat nose was also a little slow. She seemed not to understand what he was talking about and looked at Fabricot in confusion.

So Fabricot had to stretch out two fingers and said, "Two portions! I want two portions of food."

At this moment, he noticed that Zhang Heng took off the chef's knives hanging on the wall, took away two at a time, hid them in his clothes, and made a silent gesture to him.

Fabricot's eyes were about to fall out of shock. He immediately realized that someone sneaked into the kitchen not to spite him, but to steal the knife. This behavior was certainly not worth advocating, but Fabricot Te hesitated, but didn't say anything. His heart was beating fast, and he followed Zhang Heng out of the kitchen.
