Anchor, your box lunch is here
Chapter 72 Ghost Town
Chao An waited until the symptoms of hypoglycemia subsided, got up and went out, and went downstairs to the lobby with Feng Xiuqian and Zhou Jinwei. Xu Hui, Hong Yue, Guo Yang and Lin Danyang were already waiting at the table up.
It was getting dark now, and they hadn't eaten all afternoon, and everyone was hungry.
The two girls had already ordered the dishes. Not long after Chao An and the others sat down, a little girl came over slowly with a pot of boiled pork slices. She was only five or six years old. Chao An noticed the little girl walking His posture is unnatural, he is a little lame, and he has six fingers on the hand that serves dishes, which should be a deformity at birth.
The little girl put the boiled meat slices on the table, and quickly withdrew her hand, as if she didn't want others to see her hands.Lin Danyang originally wanted to push the basin towards the middle of the table, but he retracted his hand when it touched the edge of the basin and was scalded.
"Yeah, it's hot."
Lin Danyang immediately remembered that the little girl came here with a basin in her hands just now, and quickly stopped the little girl, asking, "This basin is so hot, did you burn your hands?"
The little girl immediately put her hands behind her back, and said timidly, "No, it's not hot."
"Why is it not hot? Let my sister see it. If you get burned, you will be in trouble." Lin Danyang coaxed softly. The little girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out the hand behind her back to her front, and spread it out. .
Seeing that the little girl's palm was red, it was obviously burning, Lin Danyang was a little angry, this hotel is really weird, not only beating women, but also letting children do such dangerous things.
"You should tell the boss about this kind of thing. It's too much for such a young child to serve food."
"But Danyang, we still live here, if the boss is upset, will it be bad?" Hong Yue said in a low voice, she came to study in a remote place, unlike a girl who grew up in a city like Lin Danyang That way I don't know the sufferings of the world.
She knows that in some backward places, the status of women is very low, domestic violence is just commonplace, and the daughters born are not welcome at home. It is difficult to reason with people in these places, and conflicts may break out .
"It's better not to overdo it. Even if we say it, when we leave, the boss may get worse. Just give her some scald medicine." Guo Yang also said that if there is no way to change the little girl's growth environment, outsiders will Persuasion is futile, but they are unwilling to ask a group of young people to run for this little girl who met by chance.
"We didn't bring any scalding medicine, so let's go to the town to buy some after dinner." Xu Hui accepted Guo Yang's words, and handed the chopsticks to the others at the same time, "Hurry up and eat, fill your stomach before we talk."
As for Feng Xiuqian and Zhou Jinwei, they kept their eyes on the whole time. They were not the kind of people who like to meddle in other people's business. There are so many miserable people in the world, so it's better to worry about yourself than to worry about yourself.
"Jun'an, you're already hypoglycemic, hurry up and eat something." Feng Xiuqian picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up boiled pork slices for Chao'an. Chao'an put his bowl aside and said ruthlessly, "No need." , I don’t like to eat boiled pork slices.”
"...You can't give me face once? I offended you there, you say."
Chao An pursed his lips and said nothing, and after a while he said meaningfully, "It's best not to eat meat dishes here."
Feng Xiuqian looked at Chao An's expression as if asking if you were teasing me, "You are not allowed to eat meat when you come out to play? Then do you want me to shave my head again?"
"what ever."
"..."
Seeing Feng Xiuqian deflated, Zhou Jinwei smiled charmingly, and jokingly said, "You coax your brother like this, why haven't you coaxed me before? I don't know, but I thought you were a couple..."
Feng Xiuqian's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly glanced at Chao An. After seeing that Chao An didn't respond, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhou Jinwei slightly dissatisfied, "Don't talk nonsense, eat quickly when you're hungry."
The smile on Zhou Jinwei's face faded a little, her eyes glanced a few times between Feng Xiuqian and Chao An, recalling Feng Xiuqian's care of Chao An all this way, she felt as sick as a thorn stuck in her heart, Feel full without eating.
Chao'an didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them. At this time, all his attention was on the little girl. He had already confirmed that the little girl was the one who peeped at him when he went upstairs. At that time, the girl was hiding in the stairs Below, watching these outsiders.
Why did the other party do this?
If it was in other places, the child's curiosity would be overwhelmed by Chao'an's sentence, but this is a place that can be haunted at any time, and the existence here may not be simple even for a child.
Zhao An was thinking about things in his heart, and he acted like he was wandering away. Feng Xiuqian and Zhou Jinwei were not in the mood to talk because of the episode just now. Guo Yang felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little tense, so he hurriedly called everyone to eat.
"Okay, okay, don't just talk, just eat."
Everyone picked up the chopsticks one after another, Hong Yue took a bite of the meat first, and said in amazement, "Wow, what kind of meat is this, so tender, I have never eaten such delicious meat."
Guo Yang also took a sip, and praised, "It's really delicious, it melts in the mouth, and it has a different kind of delicious taste."
Hearing what Hong Yue and Guo Yang said, the others also tasted it, and they were full of praise. Even Feng Xiuqian and Zhou Jinwei, who had lost their appetite, were amazed after tasting it. Feng Xiuqian's mouth is very There are very few dishes that can be praised by him, but he scored this boiled pork slices ninety percent.
"Junan, don't you really want to try it? This meat is really delicious."
Chao An's head shook like a rattle. He was just guessing at first, but after listening to everyone's words, he confirmed that the owner of this hotel is indeed not a simple character.
"It's best not to eat that meat." Chao'an reminded everyone again, but the people who had already been captured by the delicious food couldn't listen at all, and Zhou Jinwei stabbed him, "If the young master Mo doesn't eat himself, others are not allowed to eat it." ?"
"..."
Well, Chaoan hopes that when these people know the truth, they can stabilize their minds.
One meal was full of heat, and ten dishes were eaten by eight people. The meat here was so delicious that everyone was full. Even Zhou Jinwei, who wanted to keep fit, was full to the nines .
At the whole table, only Chao An stared at the vegetables and white rice to eat, and put down the chopsticks after eating half a bowl. After a while, let the boss prepare some supper, so that Chaoan can eat when he is hungry at night.
After the meal, everyone decided to go outside to digest food. When they passed the counter, Guo Yang saw the old lady again. spooky.
Even after watching it for the second time, Guo Yang still felt uncomfortable.
"You are so tall and timid." Zhou Jinwei complained to Guo Yang. Guo Yang was a little embarrassed, and looked to his girlfriend for help, but saw Lin Danyang pursing his lips and snickering.
Just when everyone was about to step out of the hotel gate, the old lady's old voice suddenly sounded from behind, "It's getting dark, don't go out, you will run into ghosts."
Chao An paused, turned around and looked at the old lady, "Old man, are there ghosts there?"
"To the west of the town, the man-eating ghosts can't go."
Chao An nodded, seeing his appearance, Feng Xiuqian was speechless, he felt that his good friend sometimes looked smart, and sometimes he looked like a fool.
"Do you really believe what this old woman said? Are there any ghosts in this world?"
"That's right, it's only eight o'clock at this time, and the people in these towns have nothing to do, so they stay at home at eight o'clock." Zhou Jinwei said.
Everyone didn't take the old lady's words seriously, and walked out of the hotel with a smile, only to find that people in the town closed early. At this moment, many shops on the street were closed, and there were no street lights, so the whole street was dark .
Standing on the street, Chaoan looked back at the hotel, and saw the warm yellow light in the hotel, giving people the illusion of safety.
There was a figure standing by the window on the second floor. Chao An couldn't see the figure clearly, but he could feel that the figure should be staring at them.
"It's over, it's late, these stores are closed, let's go there to buy scald medicine."
"It's okay, just go around and buy it when you meet it." Guo Yang comforted his girlfriend.
Everyone then walked along the street in one direction. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the direction they walked happened to be west.Most of the shops along the way were closed, and even if they were not closed, when they saw them coming, they would say that it was dark and they would not sell them.
"The people in this town are really strange. They don't do business even when they come to the door." Hong Yue complained, this was the first time she had seen such a store.
And not only did they not sell anything to them, but wherever they passed by, those townspeople would stare at them motionlessly, their eyes were cold, and the people looking at them were very uncomfortable, Hong Yue couldn't describe that feeling.
"Like... like what?"
"It's like looking at a dead person." Chaoan said.
"That's right, that's how it feels." Hong Yue nodded quickly.
The others felt a little uncomfortable when they heard it, and they felt it if they didn’t say it. It was even scarier when they said it, but if they asked or glared at these townspeople, the townspeople would withdraw their eyes, and when they turned around, they would continue to stare at them again. watch them.
Some people even peeked from behind the window, and when Lin Danyang inadvertently caught a pair of eyes behind the curtains, he was terrified.
"What's the matter with these people? Why are they staring at us?"
"Is it because we are outsiders? Didn't Ye Meng say that? There are very few outsiders in this small town."
"I hope so."
With strange gazes all the way, Chao An and others came to the westernmost part of the town, which is also the end of this street.What appeared in front of them was a dilapidated seven-story building. In a small town with only one or two floors, this building looked very abrupt and out of place with the whole town.
The gate of the building has been stained with rust, apparently abandoned for a long time, and now only three characters can be read clearly on the five-character signboard, that is, Ma xx Hospital.
"This seems to be a hospital, why was it abandoned?"
"Such a building is quite rare in a small town. Even if the hospital can't be opened, it can be used for other purposes, but it was abandoned directly."
"And there are only so many people in this small town. Why did you build such a big hospital in the first place? It's unreasonable."
"Could it be that there was something special about this town before? Speaking of which, the information is so developed now, and there is still a completely closed place, it is really unimaginable..."
Everyone chattered and discussed, Chao An looked at the hospital building in the dark, and saw a blood-red eye opened in the window in a trance.
It was getting dark now, and they hadn't eaten all afternoon, and everyone was hungry.
The two girls had already ordered the dishes. Not long after Chao An and the others sat down, a little girl came over slowly with a pot of boiled pork slices. She was only five or six years old.
