monster restaurant

Ringing, ringing, ringing, the pale and lifeless bell sounded like an old copper bell on the neck of a skeleton horse, making a piercing sound, as if directly hitting the depths of the soul.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, like a pure black curtain, an unremarkable wooden frame appeared on the curtain, no one knew how it appeared, the frame floated and swayed in the sky, a person slowly appeared, he put his own The body is squeezed into the frame, making a stubborn shape, which is a row of almost indisputable words: Circus.

It's hard to imagine how a real person can put on such a difficult look?

Believe it or not, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

**

Before the first ray of sunshine in the morning, the dark clouds in the sky were still firmly in place, like a curtain, and the wooden frame floating on it was swaying, just when the people staying in the wooden frame wanted to climb out Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the man's distorted fingers moved, but he didn't grab the wooden frame, and just left like that.

Like plasticine falling out of a mold, it was pulled out abruptly by a naughty child, and the plasticine just fell to the ground, making a dull sound when it collided with the ground.

"Yeah, he's really too old to fit."

"Go and tell the captain."

"I have already told the head of the troupe. The instructions given by the head of the troupe are to give up on him. He is too old to stay in the circus. For the sake of his hard work for the troupe for so many years, let him live , I hope he is lucky enough to survive."

"Huh? Did the leader say that?"

"Shh... everyone knows what's in their hearts, don't say it. Do you know what to say when you go back?"

"I know, the signboard of the circus is completely dead, and it is absolutely impossible to come back to life."

"That's good."

The first ray of sunshine in the morning still appeared as usual, and the dark cloud was finally blown away by the wind.The restaurant was enjoying the first ray of sunlight. In this peaceful atmosphere, suddenly there was a crackling sound from inside the restaurant.

"Damn it, it's a step too late!" Zhang Beibei rushed to the roof of the restaurant with a straight face, hung himself on the clothes rail, and began to practice in the sun.

Then there was another crackling sound in the corridor. Mr. Apple Tree, Hanba, Yinglong, and Yezhu all rushed out to bask in the sun. They also need to practice.Even Li Qingliu's sweater flew out by itself and hung on the clothes rail. The little black hair faced the direction of the sun, still absorbing the first ray of purple air in the morning.

This is something that happens every morning. Although... the morning practice is the most important, everyone prefers a big soft bed. Every time, they will run up to the bed at a critical moment, and go back to sleep after the drowsy practice.

After practicing, Zhang BeiJi jumped off the clothes drying pole, stood in front of him and stretched his waist. The drowsiness hit him again, and he staggered back as if he was drunk. The roof fell down, which made him sober up a little, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a 'person' lying on the open space in the distance.

I have to say that the location of the restaurant is really remote. Although the front is quite prosperous, there are woods behind and there are not many people. It is almost becoming the restaurant's private site. It is a place where Tibetan mastiffs must go every day to have fun. He goes out to catch rabbits Also go through here.

Rubbing his eyes to make sure he read correctly, Zhang Beibei muttered a few words back, and whispered in Li Qingming's ear for a while, the latter said "um" in a daze, and then the guy had to get up , Came to the counter to rummage for the magic weapon.

Fortunately, there was a suitable magic weapon. He came to the top of the building again and threw the magic weapon out like fishing. The wonderful magic weapon caught people in the distance and was pulled back by him.He came back with this extremely weird-looking, very light person, found a random room and threw it in, and Zhang Beibei came back and continued to sleep back into the cage.

The restaurants are basically closed during the day, and everyone sleeps until they wake up naturally, and then get up to fiddle with food.Li Qingming felt that he was in good physical condition, so he took the initiative to cook breakfast, and the table was full.

"Boss, what about the man we picked up in the morning? He's still alive, not dead." Zhang Beibei took a bite of fried dough sticks, took a sip of the soy milk in front of Li Qingming, and then replaced his own. His own temperature was just right, Li Qingming's is a little hot.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of soy milk, Li Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Zhang Beibei whispered in his ear when he was sleeping, "Where did you put it? Let's see after eating."

"Okay." Zhang BeiJi nodded, and began to gobble it up.

Others are not very interested in this, because we are not human, and we are not so curious about human beings.

After eating, seeing that the hall was cleaned up, Zhang Beibei ran back to open the door, took the man out, ran out, put him on the floor, and said, "That's it. When I saw him, I lay down." He didn't know how to live or die on the ground, picked it up and looked at it and found that he was still alive, so he threw it into the room... Well, he is still alive now, he is a living person."

It doesn't feel like a single person lying on the ground, but a bunch.Well, the description of 'a bunch' is very accurate.

He was even less human than the original ghost. This was probably the most inhuman person Li Qingming had ever seen.He frowned and looked at the man lying on the ground, motionless, if not for the faint heaving of his chest, he really looked like a dead man.The bones on his body seemed to be dislocated, soft and not coherent at all, the whole person was thin and thin, the bones should not have developed normally, the head was extremely small, and the eyes were big like an alien.

There are people who are born with deformities, which are congenitally formed, but after later treatment, they will always be the same as normal people.But this person seems to be formed after birth, deliberately let him grow into this appearance, making him deformed, so what is the purpose of this?

"Can you talk?" His eyes were pure and moist, but they were blank. He just looked at Li Qingming without any reaction.

Opening the man's mouth, he found that his tongue was still there, but his throat was deformed, and his neck was twisted abnormally. He looked terrible. Now he understood the reason why this man could not speak. Looking at his twisted fingers, Li Qingming also gave up the idea of ​​seeing if he could write, and directly communicated in another way.

The body is severely damaged, but the soul is always intact.Li Qingming forced the blood in his body to the eyes, and the rubber band on his wrist slipped down to his palm. With a light shake, the rubber band turned into a hook like an iron hook, reaching into the man's body, hooking out his soul.The other hand took out a talisman and stuck it on the man's forehead, implicating his separated soul.

This makes communication much easier.

His name is Xiao Pai Zi. I remember him as a normal child. His limbs were fat like lotus roots, his eyes were very big, his nose and mouth were very small, and he was a cute child.Later, he started the so-called "training". First, he had to break most of the bones in his body to make it easier to shape the body. The joints must be able to dislocate, especially the ligaments must be thicker and thicker, so that he can do what many normal people do. unreachable action.

"My task is to get into a wooden frame and turn it into a circus sign." The soul of the little brand is a half-grown child, about fifteen or sixteen years old. I cry every day and don't want to do this kind of work. Later, the people in the circus comforted me and said that it would be fine when I cut the pain nerve. I don't know what it is, only that my body is cut open... Then I feel It doesn't hurt anymore..."

The little sign whispered, "Later, I could easily stuff myself into the wooden frame and slowly become the signboard of the circus. Whenever there is a performance in the circus, I am always the first to appear. I think It's nice..."

"This time... this time I made a mistake and fell from the wooden frame. The people in the circus don't want me... I know I'm too old to be a small sign, and they have found a new one. sign. I, like all the other old men in the circus, leave at a certain age..."

"Do you think this is normal?" Li Qingming looked at Xiao Pai Zi's soul and said calmly.

He glanced at Li Qingming in surprise, Xiao Paizi didn't know why he would ask such a question, because in his world, there were only these things.

"Let me tell you, I'm not normal." Li Qingming returned to the question he had just asked, moved his wrist, sent the soul of Xiao Paizi back to his body, and said in silence for a while, "It's time to accumulate merit .”

When the soul of the little sign was talking just now, Zhang Beibei also heard it. He backed away, looked at the little sign lying on the ground, and said with lingering fear: "Boss, is there such a crazy thing? Tell me to blast that what?" Donkey Troupe!"

"Okay." Li Qingming nodded slightly.

Not long after returning to the restaurant and leaving again, Li Qingming quickly packed the paper bags, and the rest of the things were basically done well without telling everyone.But if you want to bring a small brand this time, you have to prepare more.

Finally, Mr. Apple Tree bravely ran out, Xiao Pai Zi was sitting in a wheelchair, and he was responsible for pushing the wheelchair.Li Qingming took the wooden house transformed from Mr. Apple Tree's body, and set off with Zhang Beibei, following the direction in which the circus left.

It is said that this circus is very mysterious, and the audience will never know where his next show will be performed, let alone what kind of show he will perform.But Li Qingming has a small sign in his hand, so he can easily use the tracking technique, follow the trail left by the circus through the two cities, and arrive at the next city.

This is an inland city, and it hasn't rained for many days. The sky was finally no longer clear that night, and a large cloud gathered in the sky, adding a gloomy atmosphere to the whole city.People who don’t know cheer, it’s finally going to rain, and it looks like, even if it doesn’t rain, artificial rainfall will definitely not be difficult; people who know it cheer, the circus is finally here, and the legendary show will start at midnight How exciting is it?It is very exciting.

He chose the hotel with the best Fengshui to live in. Mr. Apple Tree wore a black suit and tie, and solemnly pushed a small sign completely covered by his coat.When entering the elevator, Mr. Apple Tree couldn't help shaking his legs.

"Hush, there are surveillance cameras in the elevator." Zhang BeiJi kindly reminded.

Immediately tightened his posture, serious and handsome, left the elevator, and finally entered the room, Mr. Apple Tree asked in a low voice: "Is there any monitoring here? Human beings are really terrible, they can make that kind of horrible peeping thing, I I really don't like the city!"

"You should learn more in the future." Zhang Beibei pretended to be wandering around the room, and went to various places to research to see if there were cameras.

Looking at the two of them speechlessly, Li Qingming took out a sterilizing tissue to sterilize the cleaned water cup, and said helplessly, "As long as you don't go out alone and stay with me, you won't be caught by surveillance." some.

Everyone stayed in the room and waited until evening.Li Qingming took out a small porcelain bottle from the paper bag, poured out a elixir and put it in the mouth of the small brand. This is a big tonic pill made by himself, which has the effect of life-sustaining and great tonic, which is just right for the small brand.

When midnight finally arrived, some people shouted why it wasn't raining and why the atmosphere was so dull; some people held back their excitement and waited for the signboard under the dark clouds to appear.
