44 Restaurant
There are also those who finally lost consciousness and woke up to find blood on their hands, or fought with people without knowing it, and even suspected of murder.
Hua Xiaomian looked at the lake like this, thinking attentively. A voice came from not far away, disturbing her, and she couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
In the distance, a procession came by, ticking and blowing horns, and a large number of people lined up in a uniform manner, and the leader was holding a piece of paper in his hand, like the kind of paper he had just registered today.
It was followed by four people with trumpets, then eight people carrying the coffin, followed by two people with flower baskets in their hands, scattering flowers incessantly.
This whole team is very similar to the funeral team I have seen, the difference is that everyone's expression is full of joy, and the flowers sprinkled are also colorful small wildflowers, the voice is ticking and is extremely cheerful, and those who don't know think they are doing a wedding.
There was also a large group of people around, and everyone was watching so lively, seeing such a strange scene, everyone must have followed to watch!
Hua Xiaomian was naturally like this, standing up from the lake, trotting all the way, and looking around.
Seeing that everyone was chatting hotly, he couldn't help but ask the person next to him, "Hey, may I ask, what's the situation?"
The melon-eating crowd spit out the watermelon seeds and said vaguely, "Can't you see? ”
"When?"
"Last night, of course. The man walked away impatiently.
Last night? What happened on this magical night? She couldn't help but think of the blood on her hands, and her heart sank slightly.
Hua Xiaomian continued to ask, "Then may I ask, do you know the reason?"
"Why? What else do you ask? Aren't you a permanent resident?" the man was very surprised by the question, and couldn't help but glance back at her, "I'm afraid you're new, aren't you?
"yes, hehe. I didn't know what to say, but I responded anyway, and Hua Xiaomian quickly avoided his gaze.
The way he looks at him always makes people feel like he's exploring something, or thinking about something.
"Hehe, then I'll go first, bye-bye. Hua Xiaomian greeted politely.
When Hua Xiaomian was about to leave the desert, the man's voice came again, "Are you going to run away so soon? ”
This sudden sound almost scared Hua Xiaomian into a stagger, and she quickly stabilized herself and quickly fled the scene.
She wandered around boredly, and before she knew it, she had come to the street full of lanterns, and in curiosity, she ignored yesterday's warning, and walked straight in.
The street is full of lanterns, and every house can hear the sound of people, and when you look over, you can see that everything is busy, but the door is closed, and you don't know what the mystery is, but it only gives people the idea of inquiry.
This street is extremely boring, but I don't know why there is a strong attraction that attracts Hua Xiaomian to go all the way down. Walking like this, she was bored, and suddenly a restaurant caught her eye. I don't know why, there is a building in the middle of this street that is open, is it doing business with the door open? Hua Xiaomian thought like this and walked over.
After walking in, the hall was empty, but it was clean, only at the corner of the stairs, there was a cleaning man, this person was on his back, a white towel around his neck, a white hat on his head, a broom in his hand, but he didn't match the big sunglasses on his face, he found the footsteps, caught a glimpse of her, and a cold voice exploded in the air, "Hello, what do you need help with?"
"Is this a restaurant?" Hua Xiaomian wondered as she looked around.
"That's right, if you're a new resident, you can live here for a while, and when you have saved up enough money, you can buy a house to live in. How could this cold voice still carry a kind of concern?
"Well, yes, I just came here and I'm not familiar with anything. Hua Xiaomian hurriedly said, not noticing that she had completely leaked her information, and what she didn't notice was the red light leaking from the eyes behind this person's sunglasses.
This red light carried a hint of desire, and the corners of his mouth slowly grinned a hint of striking, with a hint of calculation and pride, as if there was an endless conspiracy.
Hua Xiaomian was only immersed in her curiosity and didn't notice anything, which caused the tragedy later. (Carefully speaking, it is not a tragedy, because Hua Xiaomian is the perpetrator.) )
The man staggered and walked upstairs with her, "I'm here for a temporary residence, and you can live here for free for no more than a month. ”
"Great, thank you. ”
What surprised Hua Xiaomian was that this person allowed her to live in the restaurant for free, so she thanked the people directly.
"Stop, don't thank me yet, I'm a prerequisite. The man hurriedly stopped her thanks.
"My request is that you go to the music fountain every day to carry three buckets of water, and you must go according to the meal point, which is seven to eight o'clock, eleven to twelve o'clock, six to seven o'clock, three time periods. ”
"I don't think there's a problem. Since there is already a place to live for free, how could Hua Xiaomian want other requirements?
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked upstairs, and the man casually pointed to a room at the end of the corridor, as if to instruct, "That is your room, you don't need a key, you can come downstairs to me if you need to, but you must remember not to go out of the room at night." ”
As soon as he turned around, as if he remembered something, he asked urgently, "By the way, little girl, have you hung the lantern?"
"Nope!"
"Alright, I'll clean up first, and I'll come back to you when I'm done. ”
"Looking for me?"
"Hanging lanterns, of course. ”
"Why do you have to hang it?"
"If you want to stay here, you have to have a lantern, and when you die, the lantern is removed. ”
"But I... Hua Xiaomian originally wanted to explain that she was not someone who wanted to live here permanently.
But the man staggered away, leaving no room for anything else to speak.
She swallowed it back.
I've listened to too many requests lately, too much. Hua Xiaomian felt that it was not free to come here at all, if this regulation was that regulation, she couldn't find the source anyway, so she could only be annoyed why she came here?
It's really idle, find something to do for yourself.
Pushing open the door, I saw the dust all over the room, presumably the man was just cleaning the stairs and the hall, but I was afraid that this was an hourly worker!
Forget it, there is no need to trouble him anymore, Hua Xiaomian rolled up her sleeves like this and started to do it herself. He took out a rag from the corner and brought back a basin of water.
I didn't care about feeling the strangeness of this place, so I cleaned the room.
After cleaning up, I found that many small objects were made of black jade, and at this time, I looked at the past, and even the basin was inlaid with a lot of jade, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what kind of local tyrant place is this, calculated, this jade is transparent and bright, and it is used in many places, but I am afraid that it is worth a lot of money.
Originally, it was dusty and jade, and I didn't notice it, but now when I wipe it like this, I feel that this shining brilliance is as beautiful as a galaxy.
Touching it with his hand, what made him feel strange was that this jade did not have the general luster, but some of it was only dry and bright on the surface, and it only looked slightly moist because it was stained with water.
Hua Xiaomian reached out and touched these small objects regretfully, as if in response to her thoughts, the small objects glowed softly.
After a while, the man came up and knocked on the door again, "Let's go, I'll take you to hang the lantern." Keep up with me for a while. Directly stuffed the lantern in his hand into Hua Xiaomian's arms, and took the lead to go downstairs.
Although she was a little caught off guard, Hua Xiaomian quickly caught the lantern and went down with her.
Walking out of the door, this person was thinking about something, counting with his hands, while planning something, just like playing hopscotch when he was a child, counting and walking, and soon stood in an empty place, "Come here!"
Hua Xiaomian hurriedly followed, and under his guidance, stood on tiptoe, trying to hang the lantern on the rope.
However, the rope on the street was too high for her to reach at all, so she turned her head to look at him helplessly, "Can you hang it for me?"
"No, you can only hang it yourself, hang it yourself. "It's really ruthless, indifferently refusing his request.
Hmph, then figure it out yourself.
Hua Xiaomian looked around, found a chair, laboriously moved it here, stood on the chair, and finally reached the rope, under his command, hung the lantern, and lit a candle inside, this candle emitted a faint light, only a closer look will be noticed.
When Hua Xiaomian got out of the chair, she was surprised to find that the lantern was extinguished, and quickly asked him, "Why is this extinguished?"
"Normally, the lantern will be lit for a minute, and then it will be extinguished during the day and lit at night. ”
Then the two of them went back to the restaurant, each doing their own thing, without any other communication.
Time is always short, although there is no sense of time passing here, night finally came quickly, the lantern has been lit, Hua Xiaomian sat alone at the window, looking at the scene on the street.
The earth had fallen asleep, and the deserted streets had been silent at first, except for the gentle breeze and the occasional barking of dogs.
It wasn't long before the noise began to sound louder. It's as if the musical fountain has moved here.
A large number of people poured into the street from all directions as the lanterns went, and as if they knew where they were supposed to stand, they rushed to their places and stopped there.
