Can the door to the new world be closed?
Chapter 2 Meet again, find out the truth
Shao Zidi struggled between the truth and lies, because he was not sure whether this man knew whether he had seen it or not.
An intuition that the other party doesn't seem to know.
But before Shao Zidi made a sound, the man suddenly frowned and sniffed the air.
Shao Zidi subconsciously sniffed it, it was slightly cool, but there was no peculiar smell.
But the man frowned, as if he had smelled the stench of a dead body decomposing for half a month.
"I will come to you again."
After saying this, the man ran away in the direction he heard, and quickly disappeared in front of Shao Zidi.Although it didn't fly like the strange snake, its speed was so fast that it stunned him.
A quiet alley, a wall destroyed by brute force...
Shao Zidi stumbled and fled home. He needed to be quiet, to be alone.
Or maybe he's just tired?So that hallucination?
Having a big heart is such an advantage, at least after encountering such a bizarre incident, Shao Zidi can go to work energetically after a night of sleep, without delaying things at all.
But when he was free in the afternoon, listening to the chats of the people in the store, he couldn't help calming down and listening carefully.
"Have you heard? Something happened on West Street!"
The one who started the topic was "Xiao Lingtong", Xiao Li who helped Shao Zidi in the back kitchen.As close as this area, as far as this city.He knows a lot of strange things.
And the one who passed the dishes was a little girl, and what she loved most was listening to these, so she couldn't help asking what happened.
Xiao Li was mysterious, "My classmate's cousin said that she went out early this morning and passed by the alley near the community, and saw the big hole in the wall. It wasn't there when she went back last night! It's not together! I heard that there are also East Street! Now everyone says that a mysterious organization has wandered around recently, looking for those kind of small alleys that no one passes by in the middle of the night, knocking on walls and destroying public property!"
Someone I happened to bump into last night, "..."
The little girl was expecting and a little scared, "Is it possible? The sound of knocking on the wall is not small, so no one heard it?"
Xiao Li patted his leg, "Can't that be called a mysterious organization? Have you ever seen that kind of mysterious organization that was discovered casually?"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Li saw that the cigarette in Shao Zidi's hand was just clamped like this, and he didn't smoke. It was a pity that almost half of the ash was burned, so he even asked: "Brother Shao, what are you thinking? The cigarette is almost burnt out." Already!"
After asking, he remembered something again, "By the way, Brother Shao, don't you live on the side of West Street? Do you know about it?"
Shao Zidi stopped smoking at all, threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, and said flatly: "I know, I heard."
Not giving the two children a chance to gossip, he lifted the curtain and entered the back kitchen, saying that he would be busy preparing the dishes for the evening before it was too late.
The chef was busy, and Xiao Li couldn't chat anymore, so he followed in.
Not long after being busy, the little girl came in excitedly to order food, and said she wanted a rice bowl with fish-flavored shredded pork, with Shao Zidi still attached to it, and asked him to fry some more meat in it.
The little girl is a distant relative of the boss. After graduating from high school, she came to work here to experience life and earn some pocket money.
Tall and good-looking, I heard that she was admitted to a university in the capital, so she must be a little high-minded, and she has never had a guest who can make her so caring.
Xiao Li was a little jealous, and asked sourly, who, who wants to add more meat to eat a rice bowl, is there such a glutton for meat?
The little girl didn't know if she heard it or not. Anyway, she was full of that guest now, and she said with starry eyes, "He's so handsome! He's tall and white, and he's dressed in fashion. I thought he was some kind of star, and he's just bigger than me. Idols are a little weaker...a little bit!"
Shao Zidi shook the pot, followed his will, added some more shredded pork, fried it and put it on the plate, quite a lot.
The little girl brought it out happily.
Xiao Li chose the beans with some resentment, and said, "Why do little girls like that kind of boy now? Am I not handsome? Many people said I was handsome before!"
Shao Zidi glanced at Xiao Li, who was as thin as a monkey, and nodded against his will, socially approving.
Originally Shao Zidi didn't take this seriously, but the little girl turned around and came in again, saying that the handsome guy praised him for the delicious dishes, and wanted to meet him.
Shao Zidi laughed, this man is really interesting, I heard that the guests in the western restaurant meet the chef.
I've never heard of it, whoever goes to a small restaurant to order a set meal for less than twenty, eats half of it, and says it's delicious, and still needs to see the cook.
How much will not take the guest's attention, it just so happens that he is not busy at this time, he also wants to see how handsome that handsome guy is.
The other party was sitting with his back facing the back kitchen. What Shao Zidi saw first was his back view. He was in a white T-shirt. He was definitely not short. He had a neat short haircut. From the back view, he seemed to be in good shape, but it was just blurry. It feels a little familiar.
"Handsome guy, you..." Shao Zidi stood over, and as soon as he started talking again, he was frightened back by the other party's face.
He, he, he... black stone? !
Although I really don't want to admit it, but this white-skinned and big-eyed person who fits the look of the boy that the little girl is fascinated by is the mysterious expert last night!
The man took Shao Zidi's shock into his eyes, wiped his mouth calmly, and said, "Fish-flavored shredded pork is delicious." It seems that he knew the cook was the person he met last night.
Shao Zidi was very upset, so he responded indiscriminately, "Thank you."
"Brother, don't be nervous, I'm not a policeman, what are you afraid of?" The man also pretended to be humorous and winked at Shao Zidi.
The painting style changed too fast, and Shao Zidi almost fell behind.
In view of the little nymphomaniac standing beside him, Shao Zidi didn't ask if he came here on purpose.
Although I really wanted to ask what the other party was going to do, I still endured it and asked him in a roundabout way: Is it someone who lives nearby?How come I've never seen it before?Do you come to work from out of town, or are you local?
The man laughed: "Brother, it seems that you are the policeman, you specialize in household registration investigation?"
"Talk casually, chat casually." Shao Zidi smiled kindly, who the hell can't pretend.
On the surface, he has always done a good job.
"I don't live nearby. Although I'm not a local, I have lived in this city for several years. So I heard that your barbecued pork buns are delicious, so I came here to eat them."
It’s hard to tell whether this is true or not. The restaurant does sell char siew buns, and they are indeed delicious, but they are not famous enough to attract people from other places. Most of the people who come to buy them are residents living nearby, but no one. Make sure that the other party is excited to eat steamed buns after hearing from family and friends who live nearby.
But at least this guy knows a lot.
Shao Zidi didn't ask further, "It's late, the barbecued pork buns are usually sold out in the morning, and there are not many made every day, so you have to go early if you want to buy them."
As soon as the voice changed, he asked, "Do you really want to eat that barbecued pork bun?"
There were other meanings in his eyes, he knew that this person was smart, and he must understand his implication.
The man nodded, without a single gap in his words, "I came here just for the pork buns, and I definitely want to eat them. If it doesn't work today, it's tomorrow."
Shao Zidi's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.
The little girl on the side really thought that the two were talking about the pork buns, and she was very enthusiastic, "Are you coming tomorrow? I will save the pork buns for you, so that they won't be sold out again when you come tomorrow!"
The man smiled quite nicely, "Then thank you, sister."
The little girl was dazed by the fascination, and said sweetly that it was nothing, it was just a trivial matter.
Shao Zidi looked at the other party's flirting with girls so naturally, as naturally as yesterday's pestering a snake, and couldn't stand it any longer, so he made up a random reason and went into the back kitchen.
Xiao Li pulled him and asked, what are you talking about, why do you look so happy?
Is he handsome?
Shao Zidi waved his hand, saying that there was nothing to talk about, and broke Xiao Li's boyish heart by the way, "Handsome. The kind of handsome their little girls like."
As soon as dinner time passed, the restaurant was empty.
For supper in summer, people basically eat food stalls and barbecues. In one night, only a few tables of men came to order small stir-fry, served with peanuts. It was not busy, and Shao Zidi and the boss were the only two left in the shop.
Shao Zidi is willing to stay, the salary can be higher, and he will be bored when he goes home, nothing to do.
The hot kitchen is more popular than the deserted room.
Today is the [-]th day of July, no one is there after ten o’clock, the boss told Shao Zidi to go home early, and told him to be careful on the road, after all, it’s Ghost Festival, don’t bump into pots of burning paper or bowls of incense. Try to go around places like that where there are many traffic accidents.
Shao Zidi responded, thinking that no matter how bad it was, it might not be as bad as yesterday.
Unexpectedly, there was really bad luck yesterday.
It's not enough to run into ghosts, but when he met that man, Shao Zidi had a feeling in his heart that it was almost the same as bumping into ghosts.
The other party was obviously blocking him, holding several ice cream wrappers in his hand, like a child, he didn't taboo at all, and he wasn't afraid of spoiling his stomach.
Shao Zidi stepped forward, "Speak directly if you have something to say."
The man ate the last bite of the ice cream in his hand, cleaned up, threw the ice cream paper and sticks into the trash can, and then said to Shao Zidi, "Ah? What's the matter?"
Seeing Shao Zidi's face darkened, he cried out as if he had suddenly realized, "Ah!"
"You don't think I'm waiting for you here, do you?" The man said with a little uncertainty. This acting skill can win an Oscar.
Shao Zidi raised his eyebrows, meaning, aren't you blocking me?
The man seemed innocent and replied: "I do have something to tell you, but I really didn't come here to block you on purpose today. I have other things and I'm squatting right now!"
Well, count him as passionate.Shao Zidi didn't say a word, waved his hand and left.
Unexpectedly, the man caught up with him in a few steps and walked side by side with him. Before Shao Zidi satirized him, he hurriedly explained, "Forget it! After waiting for almost several hours, I didn't see a single ghost!"
The implication is that I'm fine anyway, so I can chat with you casually.
Shao Zidi didn't want to have a deep friendship with this man, and thought that the journey home just happened to be long enough for him to dismiss him, so he cut to the chase, "I like to live an ordinary life, and I won't meddle in other people's affairs. Don't worry, I will die that day." I won’t tell anyone in my stomach.”
The man thought to himself, I'm sorry, it's really hard for you to say that this matter is someone else's business.
Then ask: "You said what happened that day, what happened that day?"
The attitude is so clear, the other party is still holding on, Shao Zidi also knows that this matter is difficult to fool, and the weather is very hot, the man kept asking him a lot of anger, so he decided not to hide it. Jumping out one by one like a gun!
"At first I only saw you poking the snake, but when I fell down, I saw you crushing a big snake with a mahogany stick. The big snake hit a hole in the wall and flew away. You know what happened afterwards."
Red wooden stick, big snake... The man was amused by Shao Zidi's layman's adjectives. He can now be sure that the other party doesn't know anything about them, unless...the other party is deliberately concealing it, but if he believes it, he has a good face. It is very difficult for an honest person to lie to him.
"By the way, what's your name?" The man raised his head and asked.
An intuition that the other party doesn't seem to know.
But before Shao Zidi made a sound, the man suddenly frowned and sniffed the air.
Shao Zidi subconsciously sniffed it, it was slightly cool, but there was no peculiar smell.
But the man frowned, as if he had smelled the stench of a dead body decomposing for half a month.
"I will come to you again."
After saying this, the man ran away in the direction he heard, and quickly disappeared in front of Shao Zidi.Although it didn't fly like the strange snake, its speed was so fast that it stunned him.

The little girl was expecting and a little scared, "Is it possible? The sound of knocking on the wall is not small, so no one heard it?"
Xiao Li patted his leg, "Can't that be called a mysterious organization? Have you ever seen that kind of mysterious organization that was discovered casually?"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Li saw that the cigarette in Shao Zidi's hand was just clamped like this, and he didn't smoke. It was a pity that almost half of the ash was burned, so he even asked: "Brother Shao, what are you thinking? The cigarette is almost burnt out." Already!"
After asking, he remembered something again, "By the way, Brother Shao, don't you live on the side of West Street? Do you know about it?"
