24 hour grocery store

In the dark night, in the lonely countryside, is there something that he didn't notice when he came here just now, but now he's only subtly aware of it?

what the hell?

Xia Yan was just about to leave, but now he stopped. He turned around and walked towards the house.Is there anything scarier than monsters these days?

Xia Yan arrived at the yard of that house, and the old lady in the yard next to her was still crying.

The atmosphere is very weird.

suddenly!

A sharp meow exploded.

A black cat jumped out of the window of the room Xia Yan was peeping at. A pair of green eyes were facing Xia Yan, and the fur all over its body was blown up.

The cat jumped away quickly.

The night returned to silence.

Xia Yan: "It turned out to be a cat."

He pouted and turned away, disappearing into the night.

The old lady picked up the urn, looking at the courtyard where Xia Yan disappeared with her cloudy tears at this time, her eyes were full of fear, she quietly locked the door as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

The old lady put the urn away, burned the incense, and lay down on the bed.She covered her head with the blanket.

At this time, there was a faint meowing sound from outside, resembling the cry of a child.

The lights in the room were not turned off overnight.

When Xia Yan returned to the 24-hour grocery store, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.He sat down on the stool behind the cashier, picked up his phone and started playing games.

Playing with eating snakes and hitting a wall and dying, he raised his head and asked Ou Chunhua and Wang Xiaocui: "Do you know any country rumors that have something to do with cats?"

Ou Chunhua and Wang Xiaocui shook their heads together, they didn't know.

Ou Chunhua grew up in the city, and her knowledge of cats is at the level of the black cat sheriff~

But Wang Xiaocui's cognition is that in spring, cats meow very penetratingly.

As for the matter of ghosts and ghosts, they have been ghosts for too short a time, and they haven't wandered outside much, so they don't know the truth here.

Since they don't know, it's better to ask Wen Kong during the day.

Wen Kong should know some strange things.

This world cannot be judged by common sense. Just like in Huang Quan, he never knows when new monsters will be born. In this human world, he also doesn't know what new ghosts will appear.

He started a new game, he hasn't played for a long time, his hands are a little raw, but gradually he got used to it, and started to level up all the way.Snake is the game he has played for the longest time.

When he gets tired of playing, he can find some new pastimes for himself.

During the day, Wen Kong came to work.

Before Xia Yan asked, Wang Xiaocui said to Wen Kong, "Do you know that cats and gods and ghosts can have anything to do with each other?"

Wen Kong: "Huh?" He was a little surprised that Wang Xiaocui asked this, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

Xia Yan said, "I want to ask."

Then Xia Yan pondered for a while, and said to Wen Kong: "Last night, I went to deliver the urn to the old lady. When I was about to leave, I suddenly felt something peeping at me. I went over to take a look, but I didn't look carefully. A cat popped out. I thought that black cat was kind of weird."

"Besides, the houses next to this house are all lit. People in other houses have turned off their lights and gone to sleep, but the house connected to this house is full of lights, which is very strange. I think it is It’s not that there are some bad things that make people afraid to turn off the lights and go to sleep.”

Ou Chunhua said: "Maybe it's because the people in these houses sleep late?"

Xia Yan smiled, "It doesn't matter how late you sleep, there is no need to turn on all the lights in the room, right?"

Ou Chunhua: "..." It's really weird to say that.After all, it is a village, not a city. Many people’s nightlife in the city has just begun at [-] or [-] o’clock. In the countryside, unless you play cards or mahjong during the holidays, you won’t stay up so late and turn on all the lights. stand up.

Wen Kong thought for a while, and then said to Xia Yan: "Boss, this matter is a bit bizarre. There are many things about cats and ghosts. Especially black cats."

"I met a cat demon before. The cat demon must grow a ninth tail before it can become a fairy. Before that, it needs to fulfill three wishes of people. If someone wishes it with the third wish, it can become a fairy. If it is a fairy, then it can grow a ninth tail. It is a pity that there is not enough people, and it is very difficult to grow a ninth tail."

Wang Xiaocui said: "We also have this kind of story here, Aladdin's magic lamp."

Xia Yan smiled, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "That cat doesn't have a demonic aura, so it shouldn't be a demon."

Wen Kong thought for a while, and then said: "I also met a cat, which was enlightened. It's not a demon, it can only be regarded as a spirit. It fell in love with its master, but the master liked people. Married Having a child, jealousy made this cat spirit take advantage of the owner's wife's deep sleep, gouged out one of his wife's eyes, and this cat spirit was also beaten to death."

Everyone: "..."

This is a bit appalling.

Wen Kong also said: "I also met a cat..."

Everyone: "..."

Xia Yan: "Okay, okay, I know. Everything is different, so you can't generalize it. Last night I made a fool of myself, so I plan to go to see it again today. Wenkong is with me?"

Wang Xiaocui immediately raised her hand, "I want to go too! Boss, I want to go too."

Xia Yan said with a smile: "Do you know how to catch ghosts or demons?"

Wang Xiaocui put down her hands depressedly, picked up a rag to wipe the table, okay, if you don't go, don't go, she doesn't know anything.It is still necessary to practice hard so as not to be disgusted.

Since she is not taken tonight, she can only watch dramas with Sister Chunhua when she has nothing to do tonight.I don't know if I can ask my little brother and sister for an autographed photo.

Wen Kong didn't think about it, he nodded to Xia Yan.The boss asked him to come with him, so there was no reason for him not to go.

The business of the 24-hour grocery store during the day is quite good. Xia Yan has never stopped cash registering. There are especially many people who come to buy stewed soup at noon. Xia Yan feels tired.

Ou Chunhua made a suggestion for the Nth time, "Boss, I think you can buy a computer to scan the code."

In this way, it doesn't matter if she is a little tired, it's a matter of pasting the barcode.

Xia Yan refused again, "I want to exercise my arithmetic ability."

Ou Chunhua: "..." Okay, the boss likes it, the boss can do whatever he wants.She watched Xia Yan add the amount with the calculator, it was outrageous!

After eleven o'clock in the evening, Xia Yan called Shang Wenkong and disappeared into the 24-hour grocery store together, and came to the village where he came to last night again.They are not visible, but invisible.

The village was as quiet as last night.

Except for a few frogs, there was no other sound.

In rural areas, there are usually households with dogs, but in this part of the village, there is no dog, and there are no cats.Not even chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep.

Several houses around the house where the cat came out last night were in this state, and all the rooms were still lit tonight.

Wen Kong said to Xia Yan: "Boss, it really looks weird now."

Xia Yan: "Right, there is no way to turn on the lights like this. I think it is a waste of electricity."

Wen Kong: "..."

So boss, you came here to find out about this, just because you feel bad about the electricity bill?

Xia Yan said to Wen Kong: "Do you know? The electricity bill is really expensive now. Ever since Liu Xiaoli was reincarnated in our shop, the electricity bill in our shop has been ridiculously high."

Wenkong sighed helplessly.

"Who said it wasn't? My house even has a few air conditioners switched on and on. When it gets a little hot, my wife and children say it's hot. I'm fine. I'm a ghost after all, so I can't feel the heat."

Xia Yan patted Wen Kong's shoulder comfortingly.

The two passed through the wall and came to the only dark house around. The house was full of stale smell, the air was stuffy, and dust was everywhere.Cobwebs also filled the room.

It is really rare to see spiders weaving webs at home now!

Xia Yan looked at the spider on the corner of the door, and remembered the curse spider he met in the depths of the underworld, it was too much, the curse spider cursed off one of his tentacles.Simply hateful!

Next time he goes to hell, he will kill that guy.

Seeing Xia Yan staring at the spider viciously, Wenkong couldn't understand why his boss hated spiders, he shook his head slightly, and then began to observe on his own.

This is a cement-brick house with a very common structure, with only the first floor and a tripod roof above it.

Five rooms in a row.

There are four rooms from the left to the right, and behind the leftmost bedroom, there is another bedroom across a wall.

Xia Yan looked at the four rooms, didn't pay much attention, and went directly to the innermost bedroom.As soon as I entered this bedroom, I found that because of the shade, the humidity has increased significantly and the temperature has dropped significantly.The smell of dampness and decay became even stronger.

After observing like this, Xia Yan found that the other bedrooms were all Simmons, only this bedroom had an old-fashioned wooden bed.Generally speaking, the standard of living has improved now, unlike before.

In the past, the wooden bed was piled with straw, and then a cotton mattress was placed on it, and a bed sheet was spread on it, which was considered a bed.

Even if they sleep on this kind of wooden bed now, they are also padded with cotton mattresses, which are moderately soft and hard, and the elderly like to sleep on them.

But the wooden bed in this bedroom was still padded with straw.

The musty smell of straw filled the room.

The cold moonlight shone in, and there were dirty stains on the super-smooth sheets.

Xia Yan and Wen Kong frowned at the same time.

Wen Kong sent a voice transmission to Xia Yan: "Boss, there is a lot of resentment in this bedroom, it seems that someone has died."

Xia Yan nodded.He looked at the sheets and straw on the bed, exhaled slowly, and said to Wenkong through voice transmission: "This sheet is like the yellow cloth in a moon cake box, it is of poor quality, it is still covered with straw, and there is no bed. Ma, I am afraid that the people who died here must have lived a miserable life before they died."

Wen Kong took it for granted, stood there with his palms folded, and silently recited Amitabha.

There are so many miserable people in the world, some are caused by themselves, and some are caused by others.The former died obediently to reincarnate, the latter...it's hard to say.

The night is getting darker and darker, the moonlight is gradually moving away and no longer shines in here, so the bedroom is getting colder and darker, and the bed is gradually filled with black smoke, a cat, two cats... Ten A cat is formed from black air.The cats were squealing like they were fighting!

Xia Yan was surprised.

Wen Kong couldn't help being astonished to hear such a scene that he had never heard or seen before.

Because they are invisible, the cats don't see them.After howling sharply for a while, the cats jumped off the bed one after another, and jumped out of the doors and windows.

Xia Yan and Wenkong looked at each other and quickly followed.
