He thought about it, but finally couldn't bear the temptation to 'eat'.

So Xu Ming picked up the activity funds donated by the young and Dangerous boys 'voluntarily', took the elevator down to the first floor, left the building, and came to the food stall at the entrance of the building.

Xu Ming ordered a dry fried beef river and a cold pig's ear, and sat in front of the food stall and began to savor them carefully.After all, it was just a roadside stall, and the taste was not satisfactory, but it was better than eating dry food.

Xu Ming was fiddled with his cell phone while eating, when he suddenly heard a faint discussion from a table next to him.

"It's starting again this year... Ah Qiang and Ah Xiang have seen it..."

One of them was intermittent and incomprehensible like the Riddler.

The information revealed in another discourse made the casual Xu Ming's eyes light up.

"I heard that Aunt Wang's daughter almost jumped off the 10th floor, but fortunately she was caught and has been sent to a mental hospital."

"Hey... It's been three years, and I have to come here every year. When will it be the first time?"

"Then there is no way, you can only be careful yourself."

The two were sighing, when they suddenly saw Xu Ming turning his head to look at them, they quickly shut their mouths.

Xu Ming also saw clearly.

Of these two people, one was shirtless, wearing big underpants, and a pair of slippers on their feet. They were bald, with a huge beer belly, and a greasy face.

The other was thin, with eyes on his face, and looked more refined.

There was a plate of fried peanuts and several empty beer bottles on the table of the two of them. They were long-term residents of the Walled City.

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

These people often know some secrets that outsiders don't know, and they are exactly the people he needs to find.

The prerequisite is that Xu Ming can pry their mouths open.

The two pretended nothing had happened, and picked up the wine bottle again, but they didn't expect Xu Ming to come uninvited, and sat down on their table with his own plate.

As soon as Xu Ming opened his mouth, the faces of the two became abnormal.

"I am very interested in the things you two just talked about. I wonder if you can tell me in detail."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

'Glasses' moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but 'Beer Belly' directly denied it.

Of course Xu Ming knew that things were not that simple.

He learned long ago that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

So he smiled slightly, and shouted directly at the owner of the food stall:

"Boss, add another pork intestine, one char siu, and one salt and pepper shrimp!"

"Okay! Just a moment!"

As soon as the boss heard that there was a big order, he immediately jumped up from the chair and started to work, as if he was afraid that Xu Ming would go back on his word.

'Beer Belly' and 'Glasses' couldn't help swallowing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that there are so many portions that Xu Ming can't finish by himself. It is self-evident what he means.

The two immediately flirted with each other.

Xu Ming smiled and didn't stop it.

For a while, the table fell silent until...

"Here we come! The stir-fried pork intestines, barbecued pork, salt and pepper sea prawns you want!"

In less than 10 minutes, the boss brought three plates of meat dishes to the table in a smooth manner.

Xu Ming didn't move his chopsticks, instead he said:

"Boss, another case of beer."

Then he took out two 100 Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed them over.

"There's no need to look for the rest."

"okay!"

The boss immediately smiled, and took the banknotes into his arms with lightning speed.

This is almost equivalent to his turnover for most of the night.

Perhaps because he thought Xu Ming was a potential customer, the boss got a case of twelve bottles of cold beer from somewhere.

After everything was ready, Xu Ming made a 'please' gesture to the two of them with a smile all over his face.

"I'm treating you today, you two are welcome."

Seeing that the expressions of the two seemed to be moved, but they still didn't move their chopsticks, Xu Ming smiled slightly.

"I can't eat so much by myself, don't waste it."

'Glasses' seemed a little shy, but 'Beer Belly' raised his chopsticks and said with a smile on his face:

"Little boy, you are too polite."

Although 'Beer Belly' said so, his hands were not vague at all. He directly picked up a piece of pig large intestine and put it in his mouth, chewing it so that his mouth was full of oil.

Then he patted his chest vaguely in reassurance.

"If you want to know anything, just ask, Lao Tie and I have lived here since we were young, and we know everything big and small here.

Back then, "Lam Howe" and "[-] Million Detective" Renault were negotiating upstairs in our house.

Right, old man! "

'Beer Belly' said, and patted 'Glasses' on the shoulder vigorously.

Xu Ming looked at the 'glasses' curiously. He didn't expect this guy to have such a tough surname.

It's also a loss that it's the 80s now. If it's 2020, he might become an Internet celebrity.

'Glasses' saw his old neighbor let go, so he stopped insisting.

"Brother, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

"I'm just curious about what the two of you just talked about. If the other two know something similar, can you tell me?"

Xu Ming's words made the expressions of the two of them change slightly.

'Beer Belly' picked up a deep-fried crispy sea prawn and gnawed a couple of bites, muttering in a low voice:

"I really don't understand what you young people are thinking, why are you so curious about dead people being haunted by ghosts?"

"I'm an editor of a ghost magazine, and I'm accumulating material."

Xu Ming lied as soon as he opened his mouth.

'Beer Belly' nodded and didn't go into it, but 'Glasses' had a thoughtful look on his face.

'Beer Belly' picked up the cold beer, took a big sip, immediately showed a very happy expression on his face, and then complained in a low voice.

"This old Wang, who usually asks him for ice cold always says no, what is this?"

The owner of the food stall was sitting not far from them. He seemed to have heard the complaint of the 'beer belly' and immediately slapped him unceremoniously.

"Good old money! You give me my electricity bill!"

The 'beer belly' shrank his head and fell silent.

Xu Ming still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

After working all night yesterday, he could see that cleaning up the small fish and shrimps could only be done along the way, and the real big part of the progress bar would fall on those powerful vengeful spirits with names and surnames.

Unexpectedly, 'Glasses' spoke first.

"Three years ago, there was a murder case in this building: a woman jumped from the 18th floor with her child."

"That woman didn't know what she was thinking. She committed suicide by jumping off a building. She deliberately chose the day of the Ghost Festival, and she insisted on wearing a red dress, red high-heeled shoes, red nail polish on her fingers, and a red headband.

Isn't this just trying to become...running out to harm people! "

'Beer Belly' added indignantly.

Apparently, the suicide of the woman in red jumping off the building has brought great distress to the residents here.

But think about it.

Folklore: If you commit suicide by wearing a red dress, you will turn into a ghost after death.

Not only did this woman make herself red, but she also chose to commit suicide on the most sinister day, the Ghost Festival. It was clear that she wanted to become a ghost to take revenge on society.

"Hey... she is also a poor person."

'Glasses' sighed. 'Beer Belly' suddenly bit down a big mouthful of the pig's large intestine with a dissatisfied face.

"What poor man!? We don't owe her family anything. We want to jump off a building and turn into a ghost to take revenge. Go to her husband's house to jump! Come here to harm our poor neighbors!

Now that housing prices outside are so expensive, we can’t run away even if we want to!

I can only stay in this ghost place every year in fear!

Fortunately, Aunt Mei often helps her family with children and grocery shopping, that woman is a white-eyed wolf!

If I were her man, I would have kicked her...! "

'Beer Belly' was filled with righteous indignation.

"Old money! You're drunk!"

'Glasses' seemed to be afraid, so he couldn't help raising his volume, and warned sharply.

"I'm not drunk!

never mind……"

Old Qian waved his hand helplessly, he knew that his old friend was doing it for his own good.

It is a very taboo thing to speak ill of the ghost in red behind his back during the Hungry Ghost Festival.

He straightened out his beer belly, turned his depression into appetite, and began to eat and drink a table of good dishes. Seeing this, Xu Ming asked the boss to add a spicy stir-fried flower armor and a roast goose baby.

Lao Tie shook his head, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, drank a glass of beer, and spoke again.

"That woman is also a resident of this building, living on the 14th floor.
