Soling Internet Cafe

Yue Nuo woke up from the heat of the evening sun, got up dizzy, and looked around in a daze.

Where is this, who am I?

Memories slowly came out, like a piping bag with a corner cut off, he thought of Tan Xiaoyu, Long Haiming, Li Qiang...

Yue Nuo woke up suddenly, looking around in a panic.The rented house was empty and there was no one there.

Where's Qin Xiaoyu?

Yue Nuo stood up quickly, was about to take a step, almost tripped, looked down, there was a basin next to the sofa, the inside was cleaned, but there was still a sour smell of vomit.

Yue Nuo ran to Tan Xiaoyu's room, the door was open, the quilt inside was neatly folded, and there was no one there.

"Don't panic, it's okay, don't panic." Yue Nuo took out his mobile phone and dialed Tan Xiaoyu, the phone rang a few times, and someone answered it.

"Hey, are you awake? I'm shopping for groceries and I'm already downstairs."

Qin Xiaoyu's tone was normal and his speech was clear, Yue Nuo finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, no, it's nothing, then I'll wait for you to come back."

Not long after hanging up the phone, there were footsteps on the corridor, Yue Nuo ran to the door, opened the door and waited for Tan Xiaoyu to come up.Although he had confirmed it on the phone just now, he was still worried. He didn't feel relieved until he saw the little girl climbing up with two big environmental protection bags, and he ran over to take the things in her hand with relief.

When I picked it up, it was very heavy.

"What did you buy? It's so heavy?" Yue Nuo opened the recycle bag to see that it was full of peaches.

"Taozi, I saw it in the alley just now. I think it's quite big. It should be quite sweet, so I bought some."

Yue Nuo was a little puzzled, looking at the quantity in the bag, it wasn't that he bought some, but that he had bought everything from the booth.Forget it, who cares, the money belongs to Tan Xiaoyu anyway.

Tan Xiaoyu followed Yue Nuo into the room, copied the apron hanging by the door, and closed the door.

Outside the door, Meng Bin touched it silently and stopped.

The sound insulation of the old house is not good, and the conversation between the two can be heard occasionally.

"Fish for dinner... rest for a while..."

"Headache……"

Then there was the sound of turning on the TV, and the sound of running water.

Someone went upstairs and saw Meng Bin blocking the entrance of the corridor, unable to enter or retreat, and shouted: "Please give way."

Meng Bin jumped in fright, glanced at the man in panic, and ran away with a "squeak", leaving the latter bewildered.

"What is this for? You're so scared."

"What's the matter, who's here?" Qin Xiaoyu asked in the kitchen. The oil pan was boiling, and she first threw the spices into the frying pan. With the sound of "cracking" oil, a mixed smell of star anise, pepper, and peppercorns came out. floated out.

"It's nothing." Yue Nuo said, "The neighbor next door went wrong."

He left the cat's eye, looked at Tan Xiaoyu as if nothing had happened, then secretly picked up the little girl's cell phone on the table, and opened her photo album.Not long after, a face exactly the same as that of the boy outside the door just now appeared in front of Yue Nuo's eyes, and Yue Nuo's brows were tightly frowned.

……

"Hey, thank you boss, long time no see hahaha, why are you free to find me today?"

Xie Rujian glanced at Chu Lingya, and Chu Lingya held the phone screen closer to the account book in Xie Rujian's hand very dog-leggedly and obediently.

"Six hundred rent, three days, your lease has expired." Xie Rujian said, "Take your ghost away."

A big flattering smile appeared on Xiao Bai's face in the video: "Boss Xie, my dearest boss Xie, it's not that I don't want to receive it, I'm just working in another place, look!" The space is for Xie Rujian to see. Behind him is a mountain field. It's so dark at night that you can't see anything clearly. The only scenery you can see is a group of... good brothers in ragged clothes and green faces and fangs.

"Mr. Xiaobai, are you playing disco on the grave?" Chu Lingya greeted with a smile, Xie Rujian gave him a white look, and quickly shut up.

Bai Xingchen said with a "ahhaha" smile, "No, I'm on a business trip. Thank you boss, let's discuss it. I'll be back the day after tomorrow. You can take her in for two more days. I'll come pick her up on the weekend, and the money will come together when the time comes." Forget it, it’s definitely not bad for you!”

Xie Rujian: "Now, transfer the money."

Bai Xingchen: "Thank you, boss. It's not that I don't want to transfer. The signal here is not good. Hey..." Bai Xingchen's camera began to change, getting closer, farther, up, down, "Thank you, boss? I can't see you anymore, the signal is unstable, I'll hang up first..."

Xie Rujian brought the female ghost in red who had been staying beside her all this time: "Now, transfer the money, immediately."

Bai Xingchen: "..."

Chu Lingya: "Pfft."

Xie Rujian: "???"

Chu Lingya's eyes were full of tenderness and water: "Brother Rujian, you are so handsome!"

Xie Rujian: "..."

Bai Xingchen: "???"

Ghost brothers: "$%#*%..."

Xie Rujian: "Hang up."

Bai Xingchen: "Huh?"

Xie Rujian: "Isn't the signal bad? Don't talk about it, Chu Lingya, throw her out."

Bai Xingchen: "No, wait, boss Xie, do you really want to be so ruthless? We've known each other for so many years, and I thought our relationship was close enough..."

Chu Lingya's ears perked up: "Brother Rujian, why don't I know what relationship he has with you?"

Xie Rujian: "..."

Bai Xingchen: "Of course it is..."

Xie Rujian: "Naked 丨 naked money relationship. Alright, hang up." After speaking, he pressed the answer button on the phone screen and cut off Bai Xingchen's screaming.

Chu Lingya looked at Xie Rujian, Xie Rujian: "Why?"

Chu Lingya said: "What will she do?" Of course it was the dazed female ghost.

trouble.

Xie Rujian felt a headache at a glance: "Get out."

"Really rush?" Chu Lingya asked.

Xie Rujian waved his hand irritably: "Get out," he said, and threw a domino over, "Soul-locking token, keep it with you, so she won't run around. Bring it back in two hours." Arrived At that time, Bai Xingchen should have collected enough money, and the money was transferred. As for whether the money was extorted from the brothers for funeral expenses or a kickback from the unnamed tomb, it had nothing to do with him.

"Oh." Chu Lingya heaved a sigh of relief.That is walking, not casting out demons.

When he reached the door, Chu Lingya still couldn't hold back, and turned around and called, "Brother Rujian."

Xie Rujian was lying on the recliner under the big locust tree, shaking his cattail fan and raised his head, looking at him suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

Chu Lingya: "Mr. Xiaobai is a lively and outgoing person, with a high EQ and a sweet mouth. He is really likable, but at first glance, he is not the type who can take care of others. He can't even cook. I I think he looks like a playboy, so don't fall in love with him."

Xie Rujian: "..."

Xie Rujian raised a finger: "You go out for me too."

Chu Lingya: "...Oh." He felt wronged and led the female ghost out.

Xie Rujian heard the "ding" of the soul-relief bell at the door, and stretched out his hands to rub his temples as if he was relieved.It's really not worrying anywhere.

……

"Okay, now it's just the two of us, where should we go?" Chu Lingya led the female ghost, wandering in the alley.

The night in May has faded from the coolness of spring, and the temperature is pleasant.There are people coming and going on the street, barbecue stalls, clothing stalls, dolls and other gadgets that children like, all lined up from the entrance of the alley to the other side of the street.

Chu Lingya walked unsteadily through the night market, looking here and there.

"Xiao Chu, come out for a walk?"

"Yes, Miss Zhang, have you lost weight recently? This dress is just right for you."

"You sweet mouth, come, this stinky tofu is for you."

"Thank you ma'am."

"Xiao Chu, the plaster you mentioned last time is really good. After I used it, all my acne disappeared."

"Let me see, um, you are recovering well, sister, I will recommend another mask for you, you can go to the counter to try it before you buy it if you are not allergic. Skin care products can't be used indiscriminately, you still have to pick the one that suits you, next time there are good things I recommend it to you again."

"Hey, Xiao Chu, take this bag of fried chestnuts, I will treat you as a sister and thank you."

Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu...

Chu Lingya strolled all the way, saying hello to here, and chatting there for a while, obviously the talent has been here for less than half a month, and he is already familiar with the people around him.

"Xiao Chu, this is spring brewed peach blossom wine from my hometown. Take it home and give it to Boss Xie to taste. He drank it once last year and praised it. bottle here."

Chu Lingya's eyes lit up, she took it respectfully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, how much is it?"

"Tsk, talking about money hurts feelings too much. They are all neighbors. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!" Zhang Erpang smiled brightly.

"Okay, then we're welcome, Second Uncle, if Haohao has any homework that he doesn't understand, feel free to ask me, I can help."

"That's so embarrassing," Zhang Erpang said honestly, "Remedial courses are very expensive now."

"Talking about money hurts feelings," Chu Lingya said, "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor!"

Chu Lingya learned what Zhang Erpang said, and the latter smiled happily: "Then second uncle, you are welcome, by the way, I still have a few pieces of bacon made last winter at home, and I will send you a piece tomorrow. "

"Thank you, uncle!"

Chu Lingya felt the gaze, and when she looked back, she saw a figure shrinking behind a colorful clothing stall, pretending to be picking out goods.

"Uncle Li, what are you doing, you are so old, you still want to buy bikinis?" The clothing stall owner teased him.

Chu Lingya almost laughed out loud with a "poof".This Uncle Li is the fortune teller he met when he came to Saoling the first day. I heard that he planned to go back to the countryside and give up. After a few days, he seemed to have a conflict with his son and daughter-in-law and returned to the city in anger. inside.

Originally, in this kind of old community, the neighbors were familiar with each other. When Chu Lingya got acquainted with one person, he became acquainted with his brothers and sisters. One piece, until now, probably only Uncle Li walked around every time he saw him.

It wasn't like this before.At the beginning, Chu Lingya once went to take out the garbage in the alley, and was accidentally sprinkled with water by Uncle Li. The old man invited him to the house, and said to apologize to him, but ended up saying a lot of thanks. Jian's bad words can be summed up as follows: "He is a disaster star who came to the world, the devil of the world, and will bring blood and rain. For the sake of your life, you should leave him quickly!"

Chu Lingya said: "But I like him."

Uncle Li: "???"

Chu Lingya: "I like Brother Rujian, sir."

Uncle Li was so angry that he babbled about a bunch of pink and white bones, sex is empty, don't be fooled by beauty, those vixen and ghosts all rely on this to deceive people, whoever is fooled will be eaten up There are no bones left, and you won't even have time to regret it.

Chu Lingya was quite sad: "But Brother Rujian doesn't want to eat me at all. If he is really a vixen, it would be great if he is willing to come and lure me."

Uncle Li vomited blood for three liters and retreated three thousand miles. From then on, he regarded Chu Lingya as a fool who was obsessed with obsession and could not be taught.Just like now, don't look at Uncle Li hiding behind a pile of brightly colored women's bikinis and refusing to see Chu Lingya, but looking at the half body behind him one by one with two eyes.

Others didn't know, but Chu Lingya knew what he was looking at, and the female ghost in red was right there.

"Uncle Li is indeed a bit capable, but his eyes are not right." Chu Lingya thought

Suddenly, the crowd became commotion, and someone shouted: "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

An unattractive young man pushed aside the crowd and rushed over quickly. Before Chu Lingya could see clearly, he had already run over.A young woman, who looked like a white-collar worker who had just come out of get off work to look for food, staggered after her in high heels, shouting, "Help me, catch the thief!"

Chu Lingya put two bottles of peach blossom wine and other things on the booth next to him and said, "I'm going to catch the thief, come and get it later." After finishing speaking, he rushed out.

The red-clothed female ghost who was following Chu Lingya was also following him like a shadow, and wanted to go there together, but at this moment, she suddenly stopped abruptly as if she had noticed something.

Meng Bin was in the crowd, he just glanced at the two people who were running for their lives, then looked away, and continued on his own way.

Chu Lingya had already run 50 meters away, and the female ghost's body appeared to be pulled by something. The upper body leaned forward, with one arm stretched forward, but the lower body was still nailed to the spot.At some point, two sparks ignited in her originally dull eyes, and the two sparks burned faintly, and soon turned into a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Meng... Bin..." She spit out these two words slowly, and suddenly seemed to understand something, stretched out her long nails, and cut off one of her arms.The arm locked by the soul-locking order ran away with Chu Lingya, while the female ghost turned around and followed Meng Bin.

The cold wind blew, and the commotion in the crowd quickly subsided. No one knew what happened here just now. Only Uncle Li, who was hiding behind the bikini, witnessed everything and shivered.
