Chapter 44: : small town
The dark night and the icy cold wind set off the brightly lit town with extra warmth.
The three drove to the entrance of the town. As the only man in the team, Mark took the initiative to take the responsibility of asking for directions, got off the car and walked to a shop that was still open.
After a while, he walked back from the store and said to Christine, who was looking at the surrounding environment: "There is a restaurant and a gas station not far ahead. We can go there to fill up the gasoline and have something to eat."
"Very good!"
Before Kristin could speak, Amy in the other car stuck her head out and said repeatedly, "I haven't eaten for almost a whole day. I must eat my fill later."
Mark smiled and joked to his girlfriend, "Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
Amy glared at him and said, "You think I'm fat right now, okay, don't touch me in the future, hum!"
Seeing that his girlfriend was angry, Mark quickly apologized and coaxed: "No, no, how could my little Amy gain weight? It's just nonsense. There are more women in this world than you."
"…"
Looking at the pair of men and women who kept throwing dog food, Christine was helpless, shook her head and returned to the car.
After a while, under the leadership of Mark, the three came to the only restaurant and gas station in this town.
At the door of the restaurant, a middle-aged man was sitting and reading a newspaper. When he saw the three of them coming in a car, he immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and asked enthusiastically, "Hello, do you need any help?"
"Forehead…"
Although Mark was a little surprised by the man's enthusiastic attitude, he didn't feel anything wrong. He immediately said, "Our car is out of gas. I want to add some gas and have something to eat."
"no problem!"
The man smiled and said, "Today happens to be our restaurant's special offer day. Couples can enjoy a 50% discount when dining, and a delicious pie that is carefully cooked."
"Really?"
Hearing that there was such a discount, the young couple dropped their guard instantly, and Amy directly hugged Mark's arm and asked the man, "We are a couple, can we enjoy the meal discount?"
"Of course!"
The man smiled and said, "You guys go to the restaurant first, just leave it to me."
"That's great Mark!"
Amy was pleasantly surprised to keep Mark, leaving a sweet lipstick mark on his face. Then she thought of Kristen, her expression froze, and she said to the man, "We have a companion, she is alone..."
"Ok!"
The man raised his head, glanced at Christine who was in the car behind him, and then smiled: "Since she is a beautiful lady, she can also enjoy the benefits of our restaurant."
"Very good!"
Hearing this, Amy immediately opened the car door, got out of the car, and informed Christine of the incident.
"…"
Listening to Amy's narration, Christine's expression gradually became solemn. She glanced at the surroundings with alert eyes, and then looked at the smiling middle-aged man. After hesitating for a while, she finally picked up her backpack and got out of the car. .
The middle-aged man looked at Christine, and then at the backpack she was carrying. Without saying anything, he smiled and said to Mark, "Please come in, the pies in our restaurant are the best baked in the town. Well, you will never be disappointed."
"Is it!"
Amy leaned back to Mark's side again, hugged her boyfriend's arm and said, "My favorite food is pies, especially apple pie."
"Then we will definitely satisfy you!"
The man smiled slightly, led the three of them into the dining room, and greeted the kitchen, "Mary, here's a guest, three sets for lovers!"
The kind-faced cook raised her head and said with a smile, "No problem, come right away!"
The man nodded, led the three to find a table and sat down, and then asked, "What to drink, our coffee here is also very good!"
Mark and Amy looked at each other and said, "Let's have two cups of coffee, Christine, what would you drink?"
Christine put down the backpack in her hand and said, "Milk will do."
"Coming soon!"
The man glanced at Christine, didn't say anything, left a word and turned away.
Looking at the back of the man leaving, Mark smiled and sighed, "The people in this town are really warm."
"Yes!"
Amy nodded in agreement and said, "It's our luck to pass here, Tina, what do you think?"
"…"
Looking at the defenseless and wary two people, Christine suddenly understood the reason why Ronin rejected her, and felt helpless for a while, but at the moment she could only nod her head and replied, "Yes, that's really good!"
"Coffee is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man walking back, holding a coffee pot and pouring a cup of coffee for each of the three, and said with a smile, "Please use it."
"thanks!"
Mark and Amy did not suspect him, so they picked up the cups and drank. Christine could only take a sip when facing the man's gaze.
The man nodded, turned to leave, and brought the dishes shortly after. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"My God, this apple pie is really delicious!"
"I've never had such a delicious apple pie!"
"Christine, try it too, it's really delicious."
"…"
Half an hour later, the satisfied two walked out of the restaurant with Christine, and happened to see the middle-aged man pulling out the refueling gun, and said with a smile, "The gasoline is full, enough for you to drive to Polis."
"thanks!"
Mark stepped forward and shook hands with the man, and said, "To be honest, I really want to live in this small town. The people here are so kind and warm."
The man smiled and said, "I'm sorry we don't have a hotel in this town, but it doesn't matter, you drive your car on the highway, and it only takes two hours to drive to a larger town, where you can find a motel. , Have a good night's rest, and then go to Polis to participate in the music festival, by the way, you know how the highway goes."
"Forehead…"
Mark smiled awkwardly and said, "It's our first time here, so we don't know the path very well."
The man smiled and said, "There are too many roads in Indiana, and the paths are very complicated. It is normal for you to be unclear when you first come here. You can leave the town directly from this road, and then turn right along the orchard. On the highway."
"Thank you so much!"
"You are welcome!"
"…"
Looking at the two cars slowly leaving, the smile on the man's face disappeared instantly, he picked up his mobile phone and said, "They are leaving, in addition to the pair of sacrifices, there is also a woman, it should be a policeman or a hunter. Outside the orchard, if God did not accept that woman as a sacrifice, he would kill her and never let her escape."
