Black donkey hoof store

The next morning, when Wen Baiyu went to the small restaurant, he saw an envelope stuffed under the crack of the door. He picked it up and opened it. It turned out to be 22 yuan, which happened to be the money for two bowls of fried noodles and the bus fare yesterday.

More than a month later, Wen Baiyu went to the hospital to remove the plaster cast, and the doctor told him not to exercise strenuously, and to nourish his legs.

Wen Baiyu's life is on the right track again, there are no zongzi, no ancient tombs, no supernatural events, everything is so beautiful, except that he is still a bachelor of the Wannian Right Party...

But Wen Baiyu discovered three very strange things.

The first thing is that Zhong Kui and Zhong Jian, two insurance salesmen, came to the small restaurant to eat every day. Sometimes they had two bowls of noodles with fried sauce, and sometimes they had two bowls of tomato and egg noodles. In short, they cost no more than ten yuan. face.The two of them come every day, and they come around twelve o'clock every day.Wen Baiyu can only feel that the pressure of being an insurance salesman is really great, and he has to work until the early hours of the morning every day.

The second thing is that Xi Chi, who is like a little angel, stays at the small restaurant on time at eleven o'clock every night. Chi can't talk, but Zhong Jian looks very gentle, and often tells him some jokes at work, while Xi Chi leans on the table and laughs while listening to him, with big eyes It blinks flickeringly, not to mention how cute it is.

Seeing this situation, Tang Zi once said with emotion: "Nowadays, little girls really like older ones, don't they feel so safe?"

little girl……

Another person who thinks Xi Chi is a little girl, maybe Zhong Jian also thinks Xi Chi is a cute little girl...

The third thing is to describe it as weird!

Although the business of the small restaurant is good at noon, there is no waiting for a seat. The business is booming at night, but the busiest time is at midnight. As long as it is 100:[-], the number waiting for a seat has to be more than [-]!However, the business of small restaurants has been deserted recently, and there are very few people there!

There is no other reason, Wen Baiyu found out that as long as Wan Cheng Jinghou put his arms around him and stood at the door of the small restaurant, good guy, it was a sure thing that no customer dared to come that night, Wan Cheng Jinghou was like a natural door god , especially town houses.Several times, Wen Baiyu saw a customer walking towards the small restaurant happily, and then saw Wan Cheng Jinghou, his face turned pale like a dead person, and then he turned around and ran, shouting, "Woohoo, sorry, pit friend!" Be honest with me, the big zongzi is still there!"

Wen Baiyu didn't even know what kind of temper he had...

Wen Baiyu found the accounts and did the math. In the month he came back, his net income dropped by 30.00% compared to last month!thirty! !If he falls like this again, he won't be able to support his buddy anymore!

Wen Baiyu was in the middle of settling accounts in a depressed mood, gnashing his teeth with a cigarette in his mouth, and knocking on the calculator, a piece of soot fell off the keyboard of the computer.

At this time, Tang Zi approached Ai Ai in a hurry, but he was tall and burly, but he said very coyly: "Boss... um... let me tell you something."

Wen Baiyu raised his head, looked at him unkindly, and said, "Say it."

Tang Zi said: "Well, boss...I want to ask for leave tomorrow..."

Wen Baiyu asked in surprise, "Ask for leave?"

Tang Zi nodded and said, "I received a call from my hometown today. My mother said that Xiaohong in our village is getting married. It's tomorrow. I have to go back and pay the money."

Wen Baiyu: "..."

Where is Tang Zi's hometown, Wen Baiyu doesn't know, it is said that it is very close to Beijing, but it is a very remote village, but Wen Baiyu always hears about Xiaohong in their village, because she is the goddess Tang Zi has a crush on, and it is said that she looks very special Good-looking, Tang Zi's original words are "Although he is not as good-looking as Brother Wancheng, he is really very good-looking."

Wen Baiyu thought to himself that the goddess whom he had a crush on was getting married, and this stupid big guy had to pay the family money, which was enough to worry about, so he waved his hand, biting a cigarette and said, "Go, go."

Tang Zi nodded happily and said, "Okay boss, I'll be back early in the morning the day after tomorrow!"

The kitchen just called out to ask Tang Zi to bring up the dishes, Tang Zi turned around to leave, stopped suddenly, turned back, and said solemnly to Wen Baiyu: "Boss, don't go out tomorrow night."

It is rare for Wen Baiyu to see Tang Zi so serious, not to mention, once Tang Zi is serious, he is handsome, after all, he is tall and straight.

Wen Baiyu said: "Why?"

Tang Zi said: "Because tomorrow is the Ghost Festival, the gate of ghosts is wide open."

Wen Baiyu: "..."

Wen Baiyu stared at him blankly, didn't take it seriously, looked down at the computer and knocked on the calculator again, and muttered, "How old are you, still superstitious..."

Early the next morning, Tang Zi left with his luggage. Wen Baiyu got up and turned on the TV. It happened to be the morning news, and the news was broadcasting the latest news.

Wen Baiyu took a look, Xi Chi just came out of the bedroom, Wen Baiyu pointed to the TV and said to Xi Chi: "Recently, so many children have been lost, it's the seventh time in a month. Be careful when you go out."

Xi Chi: "..."

Xi Chihu's eyes widened, and Wen Baiyu added, "Don't always come to the restaurant at midnight, or you will be snatched away by the big bad wolf!"

Of course Wen Baiyu was talking about Zhong Jian, while Xi Chi was grinning, and Wen Baiyu was very grumpy.

Just as Wen Baiyu was about to go out, Xi Chi came over and tugged at the corner of his clothes, and handed him a piece of paper.

——The restaurant closes early today, the fifteenth day of the ghost month, and it is too cloudy.

Wen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it seriously. There are quite a lot of people who still want to believe this thing.

Wen Baiyu went to the restaurant, but he didn't see Wanqi Jinghou at home, and there was no Wanqi Jinghou in the restaurant, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the guests had already started, but he hadn't seen anyone yet.

Tang Zi asked for leave today, and Wan Qi Jinghou didn't come. Except for the back kitchen, he took care of the scene by himself. He was so tired that his liver hurt.

Wen Baiyu asked the cook, "Have you seen Wanqi Jinghou?"

The cook said: "He, didn't he ask for leave? Didn't you tell the boss?"

Another leave of absence!Could it be that the goddess of Wancheng Jinghou is also getting married today? Didn’t it be agreed that today is Ghost Festival, and someone else is getting married today?

Because Wan Cheng Jinghou was not here, there were a lot of customers in the small restaurant today, Wen Baiyu was a little flustered, from noon to eleven o'clock in the evening, he was busy all the time, and Xi Chi also helped him serve the dishes after he came over.

Suddenly the phone rang, and Wen Baiyu hurried over to answer it, but it wasn't a call for ordering food or ordering takeaway, but Zhong Jian...

Zhong Jian said, "Hello? Is it Wen Baiyu?"

Wen Baiyu said, "Do you want to order noodles with fried sauce?"

Zhong Jian coughed and said, "No... Please tell Xi Chi, I'm too busy with business today, so I don't have time to go."

Wen Baiyu: "..."

Are you guys in love? !

Wen Baiyu really wanted to throw the phone away, but finally conveyed the words to Xi Chi.

Xi Chi was a little disappointed, his big eyes were gray and bulging, Wen Baiyu looked at him and couldn't bear it, and said: "Anyway, he will come tomorrow, besides, it's a good thing to be busy with business, if you are not busy and have no money, why don't you go to the Northwest Wind?" , it's almost twelve o'clock, you should go home and go to bed first."

Xi Chi nodded, and wrote a note to Wen Baiyu when he left.

——Be sure to go home before twelve o’clock.

Wen Baiyu nodded perfunctorily.

It was already past twelve o'clock, and there were still many people waiting for the same sign. Today's business was extremely prosperous, and it was impossible for Wen Baiyu to drive away customers. It was almost one o'clock when the stall closed.

Wen Baiyu closed the store door wearily, and then walked home. When he reached the entrance of the community, the main entrance he usually walked was closed!

Wen Baiyu swears, then goes around to the back of the community and walks through the small door.

The back of the community is a bit desolate, and there are many trees. It has passed the dog days, and it is chilly at night, but today it is extraordinarily shady. When the wind blows, Wen Baiyu shiveres.

Wen Baiyu walked a few steps, and saw a fire at the fork in front of him. A white-haired old man squatted on the ground, drew a circle with a gap on the ground with a stone, and then put the paper money in the circle and lit it with a lighter.

With a sound of "哗啦——" the paper money ignited, and the flames were so loud that it set off the eerie narrow road very strangely.

Wen Baiyu shivered for a while, feeling a chill on the back of his neck, so he planned to take a few quick steps.

The old man squatted on the ground, still muttering loudly, and said, "My child... my child... I don't know what's going on with you now, old man, I'm powerless, I can't save you... I just hope that someone with good intentions will save you..."

As the old man spoke, he suddenly fell to the ground with a grunt, and his clothes almost caught fire.

Wen Baiyu wanted to walk over by himself. Seeing this situation, he subconsciously rushed to help the old man up, and said, "Are you all right, watch out for the fire, and don't burn it."

The old man thanked him again and again and said, "Young man, you are really kind."

Wen Baiyu laughed dryly, and the old man said again: "Young man, do you know that you are the second person to talk to me in the past ten years..."

Wen Baiyu thought to himself, this old man is probably a widow and has no children or relatives, otherwise it would be pitiful to burn paper money here alone.

The old man said faintly: "The first person to talk to the old man was a child... the child is kind, he is not afraid of me, and even gave the old man an apple to eat... It's a pity that good people are not rewarded, and the old man has no ability... ...the child..."

Wen Baiyu asked subconsciously, "What's wrong with the child?"

The old man said: "The child was lost and was taken away."

Wen Baiyu thought of the news he read in the morning, and said, "Abducted by human traffickers?"

The old man said quietly: "Human traffickers? If it was a human trafficker, it wouldn't be so scary...Young man, do you know...Someone wants to live forever and use the hearts and blood of 99 children to make medicine. If you take this medicine in the phoenix coffin, even people who have been dead for a thousand years can be reborn..."

Wen Baiyu shuddered, thinking that he really shouldn't stop, this old man obviously has a brain problem!

Wen Baiyu didn't stay any longer, he missed his body and wanted to leave, but with a "pop", the old man grabbed his arm and looked at him quietly.

Wen Baiyu's eyes widened suddenly, his back felt cold from fright, and his calf twisted. The old man's body began to fade slowly, becoming more and more transparent, floating in the air...

The old man said: "Young man... You are kind, save these children... This old man has been wandering for ten years. Someone caught me and drove me away, but no one was as kind as that child. Before dawn, you must save the child, otherwise ...it's too late..."

After the old man finished speaking, the circle of burning paper on the ground suddenly emitted a blue light like a will-o'-the-wisp and turned into a huge hole. Wen Baiyu yelled "ah", and fell into the hole.

Wen Baiyu fell down the hole, thinking so deeply in his heart, he wouldn't fall directly into hell!Then he wanted to swear, why did he keep encountering such evil things, it was not good when Wan Jinghou asked for leave, he had to ask for leave on Halloween!
