The backyard of Sun's Restaurant, the layout of that place is very strange, and Ming Chuan noticed it when he first went to investigate.

Hearing Sun Yanli mention that backyard, Ming Chuan raised his eyelids quietly and said, "There are so many people who come in and out of your backyard every day, and not everyone will get that kind of 'strange disease'." ”

"Of course not, if everyone had a 'strange disease', my restaurant wouldn't have been shut down a long time ago. Sun Yanli smiled self-deprecatingly.

"So, are there any other conditions?" asked Ming Chuan with an eyebrow raised.

So far, what bothers him the most is what kind of "conditions" make the soul bodies of these three people ghostly one after another.

"Conditional? There are other conditions. Sun Yanli smiled bitterly and said, "First of all, these people's physique must be 'suitable'. ”

"What exactly does it mean?" asked Ming Chuan.

"I don't know much about this, but I have roughly heard Gong Wancheng say that these people's physique must be able to produce 'changes', otherwise it will have no effect. Sun Yanli looked at Ming Chuan with some apologies and said, "As for what kind of 'change' and what kind of physique is needed, they didn't tell me in detail, so I can't be sure, it's just ......."

"Do you have any guesses?" Ming Chuan asked softly when he saw Sun Yanli's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped.

Sun Yanli thought about it, and didn't know if it was a little difficult to speak, her mouth moved, but she didn't say it.

"Say, no matter how bizarre your guess is, it's nothing to me. Ming Chuan drooped his eyelids and said in a casual tone.

Hearing Mingchuan say this, Sun Yanli remembered the "thing" she saw by the pond just now, swallowed her saliva, closed her eyes as if she was making a decision, opened them after a while, turned her head to look at Mingchuan, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll say it." ”

"Well, let's talk about it. Ming Chuan nodded and said, "Even if your guess is particularly bizarre, I won't laugh at you, don't worry." ”

I don't know if it's because Ming Chuan's demeanor was a little serious when he said this, or because he was more serious than usual, Sun Yanli actually laughed after hearing it, but Ming Chuan laughed inexplicably.

After laughing a few times, seeing that Mingchuan was puzzled, Sun Yanli coughed dryly, put away her smile, and said: "Actually, what I guess is not necessarily true, it is completely based on the words and phrases they occasionally mention in front of me and my own imagination, which may be very different from reality." ”

Ming Chuan didn't speak when he heard this, and motioned to the other party with his eyes to continue.

"I don't know how you describe it, but I guess those who can contract 'strange diseases' should be people with heavy 'yin qi'. Sun Yanli said, "I remember that there was one who had just suffered from a serious illness, and the doctors in the hospital gave him a critical illness notice, and he miraculously woke up again after falling into a deep coma. Because the man was from a neighboring village, the news spread in several neighboring villages. Later, when I got this 'strange disease', others said that it was the sequelae of the coma at that time. ”

"Are there any other examples?" Ming Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thought came to his heart.

"When I first moved the restaurant here, there was a person. Sun Yanli paused, made a brief reminiscence, and then said, "That person is not from a nearby village, I have never seen it in the town, he looks like a poor man dressed up, but he is not so dirty, his face is very pale, and there is no blood at all." At that time, he came to the restaurant alone and ordered a dish and a large plate of rice. I saw that he ate very well, and I also served him a bowl of soup, saying that it was given for free. ”

At that time, the business of the restaurant was not very good, not long after it opened, there were not many customers, and the one guest occupied a table and didn't feel anything, Sun Yanli also had time to take care of the guests at each table, so she would notice such a ragged guest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cared about anything else when the store was busy today.

What impressed her most was not the person's dress, if it was just a very tattered "begger" who came to their store for a meal, she might have regarded it as some pre-tea and after-dinner conversation to talk to others, but after so many years, she would have long been left behind. The reason why she remembered that person deeply was because when she approached him, she felt a cold air.

She couldn't tell what was going on with the cold air, and it didn't make her feel particularly uncomfortable, as if that person was born with a lower body temperature than ordinary people, so standing next to him would feel cooler than standing next to other people.

"I can't describe it well, it's just a little weird. Sun Yanli finally concluded, "It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it comes with its own air conditioner." In short, it was a little colder to be close to him than to stay anywhere else. Later, I thought, is this what the old man often says, 'Yin Qi is heavy'?"

"What happened later?" Mingchuan narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything, just urged.

"After eating, the man borrowed the bathroom in our backyard. Gong Wancheng found me that afternoon, saying that he had found a suitable person, and said that he had met a rare natural suitable person. I was still confused and didn't understand what he meant, so he asked me who my guests were that day, and after listening to my description, he said it should be the man. Sun Yanli continued.

"Did Gong Wancheng let you do anything after that?" Ming Chuan interjected and asked.

"Well, he told me to pay attention, and if I saw that guest again, I would take him to the backyard and let him stay in the backyard a little longer. Sun Yanli replied.

"That's it?" Ming Chuan raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled.

"Well, that's all. Sun Yanli nodded and said affirmatively, "A day later, the man came, and I followed Gong Wancheng as Gong Wancheng said, under the pretext of letting him choose fresh dishes and take him to the backyard kitchen." ”

"Do you know what happened to that man?" asked Akegawa.

"I don't know. Sun Yanli shook her head, "That man hasn't appeared since then." Just a few days later, Gong Wancheng came to the restaurant to find me and said that I had done a good job and would make persistent efforts in the future. ”

"You didn't doubt it at the time?" asked Mingchuan.

"At that time, ......" Sun Yan lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and said, "In order to support my daughter at that time, where could I care about the lives and deaths of other people?" Gong Wancheng put forward very generous conditions for me, I know that you may think that I am a selfish woman when I say this now, but this is the case, now let me go back and choose again, I will still go on this boat." ”8910
