Chapter 2 Reduced to Runaway
Lu Tang sat in the store, and the store was empty and seemed to be very deserted.
Lu Ju looked at it and complained disdainfully: "I also said that this is the most famous place in the underworld, and there is not a single ghost! Eh, wait a minute, no! Then am I a ghost? If I am a ghost, I can't say that." But if I'm not a ghost, then there really isn't a ghost here. ”
"Childe. A gentle and cold voice suddenly came from his left ear, and Lu Tang turned his head and was startled.
It turned out to be the woman just now, and when I got closer, it turned out that the woman's face was white because she had applied too much foundation, her eyes were red because she had just cried, and the messy hair on her head was mixed with some branches and leaves, no wonder it was so messy.
The woman knelt on the ground: "The little woman just scared the childe, I'm really sorry." The little girl's surname is Yu, and she is a little out of shape because she experienced a broken love not long ago and was heartbroken. ”
When Lu Tang heard her say this, he relieved his heart, and he thought to himself, "Why is this name weird?"
Lu Tang hurriedly helped the woman up and sat down: "This... Forehead... The surname is Jade Girl. ”
Jade girl: "Childe, the little girl's surname is jade, not jade." ”
Lu Tang: "I'm not wrong, my surname is Miss Yu." ”
The jade girl hurriedly explained: "It's the jade surnamed jade, not the surname jade." It's the surname Yu, not the surname Yu you said. My first name, surname Jade. ”
Lu Tang fainted a little when he heard this, and hurriedly interrupted: "Jade girl, this will be called right." The Jade Girl nodded.
Lu Tang: "Don't run around like this at night in the future, it's very dangerous, what if you meet someone who is not afraid of ghosts to beat you." ”
Jade girl: "Childe said that he laughed! How can there be a future, I came here to eat soup just to do everything, and start over." The little girl saw that Childe had just entered the store to ask for food, and I thought it was also related to Childe. I don't know what difficulties the son has, but he has reached the point where he will never recover, can he share one or two with the little girl?"
Lu Tang was puzzled, and thought: "Is this woman sick in the brain, how can I answer, or just make up something to trick her and go." ”
Lu Cheng sighed: "I can't hide it! I used to be a very famous screenwriter (in fact, I wasn't at all), but unfortunately I was jealous of talent..... (Feeling melancholy)"
The jade girl interrupted affectionately: "Childe, you are too pitiful." Can...... What is a screenwriter?"
Lu Tang fell to the ground, slowly got up, and said to himself: "Why does everyone ask me this." The screenwriter is.... It is.... Writing plays. ”
The jade girl's eyes were shining, and she hurriedly asked: "It turns out that the son is writing plays, which is great." The little girl loved to listen to the drama before she heard it, and the son could sing a paragraph to the little girl as a gift for her deathbed. ”
Lu Tang thought to himself: "Before you died? You are now after life, and what does it mean to say goodbye to death? You are obviously dead, is it because I am very annoying? She doesn't want to see me again when she meets her." ”
Jade girl: "Childe, let's sing a play for the little girl." ”
As soon as they heard the "singing", Meng Xiaotian, Li Yuankui, Mink Yuyu, and Lu Zijing in the hot pot restaurant immediately ran out happily, cheering and shouting: "Sing a section!"
Lu Tang stood up and hurriedly shook his hand: "Everyone, have you misunderstood! I am a screenwriter and can't sing." ”
Lu Zijing: "Can't screenwriters sing? Don't you bluff me! All the drama writers I know know." ”
Lu Tang's face was full of helplessness: "But the screenwriters of my era can't do it." ”
Li Yuankui: "You liar! What era is your birthday?"
Lu Tang: "Now.... Modern. Ninety-five, what's wrong?"
As soon as everyone heard the whispers, Meng Xiaotian held back her mouth: "It's so small! The post-90s generation has come to this point, it's a pity." ”
Lu Zijing disdainfully: "It's too tender! ”
Li Yuankui was arrogant: "Hehe! I'm dozens of rounds older than him, you can call me my wife and grandfather!" Pity. ”
Mink Yu wiped his saliva greedily, greedily: "Sister, I love this kind of little fresh meat, and it's so handsome." Oh, what a pity!
Li Yuankui smiled at Mink Yu's greed: "As long as you are still a sister, Grandma Taizu is about the same." ”
Lu Zijing coaxed: "That's it! Grandma is still about the same." ”
The jade girl interrupted everyone's words: "Childe, you really can't sing as a screenwriter?"
Lu Tang hurriedly shook his head and said proudly: "Girl, I really won't." But I write stories, lots and lots of stories. ”
Jade Girl: "Ah, isn't that the difference between that and waste?"
The crowd dispersed, complaining: "Rubbish!" and "Trash!"
Lu Tang was so angry that he almost fainted, and the jade girl hurriedly grabbed Lu Tang, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on Lu Tang's forehead.
Lu Tang: "Jade girl, you're not here to be angry with me, are you?"
The jade girl shook her head: "No." I just want to get to know my son, and I have a companion on the road. It's a pity that I don't have much time, Childe is very happy to meet you, you are a good person. ”
After speaking, the jade girl walked to the counter, shook off countless gold and silver treasures and banknotes from her body, and Meng Xiaotian led her out.
Lu Tang: "I'm going! I'm so rich, no wonder everyone says that the prices below are high, and it's so expensive to eat a hot pot! With a fart, I forgot to burn money for myself when I was alive. It's miserable, what should I do?"
Lu Ju scanned the surroundings with small eyes: "No one, I'll take the opportunity to slip away!" Lu Ju got up and wanted to leave, and said as he walked: "I'm sorry everyone, I will definitely come back and pay you back when I have money, you must not come to me." ”
Because Lu Tang was panicked and didn't look at the road, he tripped over the steps at the door, and when Meng Xiaotian came back, Lu Tang pounced directly and pressed Meng Xiaotian under him. What's even more embarrassing is that the two of them are nose to nose together, and they can both feel each other's breathing.
Lu Tang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly got up and helped Meng Xiaotian up: "Are you okay? Didn't you send the jade girl away? Why did you come back." ”
"Smack!" Meng Xiaotian got up and slapped Lu Tangerine on the face: "Stinky boy, you're impatient!"
Lu Tang: "This is a misunderstanding, this..." Meng Xiaotian pulled Lu Tangerine's ears and came back.
As soon as Lu Tang sat down, Li Yuankui walked out of the backyard carrying the pot: "The pot is here." "The hot pot was just placed on the table, and there was a pot of clear soup inside. The soup is crystal clear, like clear water, but the soup exudes a strong fragrance, which is refreshing, and I can't wait to lift it up and drink it up.
Li Yuankui: "Shopkeeper, why are you blushing?" Li Yuankui looked at Lu Tang: "Eh, why is your face red?"
Mink Yu gluttonously took a glass of white liquid: "Brother, please." ”
Lu Tang took it: "Thank you." Then he drank without saying a word.
Mink Yu hurriedly said: "Eh, brother, don't drink it! This is..."
"Poof!" Lu Tang sprayed Li Yuankui in the face.
Lu Tang: "It's spicy! It's spicy! Is this wine?"
Mink Yu greedy: "Of course, this is called hand washing wine." ”
Lu Tang: "Why did you wash my hands with wine?"
Mink Yu is greedy: "If you don't disinfect your hands and wash them, there are a lot of viruses now." It's convenient for you to cook hot pot by hand later, sister, this is for your own good!"
Lu Tang: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to use your hands, your shopkeeper's ancestors were Indians. ”
Meng Xiaotian: "Yin you're big, what's going on just now, where are you going?" Lu Zijing heard the sound and walked out. ”
Lu Tang: "I... I'm not going anywhere. It's to see if you're back, it's dark outside, worrying. ”
Meng Xiaotian: "Hmph! I'm just sending that girl across the bridge, a matter of a few minutes." But you're sneaky, and you clearly have ghosts!"
Lu Tang hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and whispered, "I... I don't have a ghost, I just.... It is.... I didn't bring any money. Lu Tang feels that it is a shame to have no money, yes, this is the unique nature of Taurus. Although money is not the most important thing in life, it is a manifestation of their sense of security and responsibility.
Out of shyness, Lu Tang couldn't help but take a sip of wine.
Li Yuankui shouted loudly: "What! If you don't have money, you dare to come and drink Meng Po soup?"
"Poof!" Lu Tang sprayed Li Yuankui's face again: "Meng... Meng Po Soup!? You liar, this is obviously a hot pot restaurant! Don't think I didn't go to school. ”
Lu Zijing pointed to the hot pot on the table: "But this soup is indeed Meng Po soup." ”
Lu Tang was frightened: "That... The bridge?"
Lu Zijing: "Nai He Bridge! ”
Lu Tang was spread out and was helped up by everyone: "Oh my God, I beg you, I don't want to drink soup yet, I don't want to die." ”
Mink Yu was greedy: "Brother, have you drunk too much and are talking nonsense! You are dead, have you forgotten?"
Lu Zijing: "This Meng Po soup is not for you to die, but for you to drink it before you are reincarnated. Or rather, only if you really intend to let go of this life, will you come to drink him. Eh, what happened to you, you have to let go at a young age?"
Lu Tang: "I don't! I'm just... I came in with the Jade Girl. I thought it was just a hot pot restaurant. ”
Meng Xiaotian: "This is indeed a hot pot restaurant. In the past, the underworld was not so good, desolate and cold, and countless souls were eager to be reincarnated as human beings as soon as they came down. My grandmother boiled soup to cross the soul, and it was a lifetime, until one day she wanted to let go of it herself. Later, my mother took over her craft, but there are more and more rich souls in the underworld, and these souls are having a better time, so they don't want to be reincarnated. So there are fewer and fewer people drinking soup, and even my mom is planning to leave this profession. It's a pity that our family is hereditary, and someone has to take over this errand, otherwise the whole family will not die well. So when I was 24 years old, I was "forced" to leave the world and come here to take over Meng Po Tang. ”
Lu Tang: "Shouldn't it be a good thing to help the soul reincarnate? Why don't you all do it?"
Meng Xiaotian: "You saw the girl just now." In fact, the soul also has feelings and desires, and unlike when you were alive, your senses will be more sensitive here, and you can be happier or sadder. On the day of the jade girl's wedding, she was intercepted by bandits on the road, ravaged and dumped her body in the wilderness. I thought I had found true love, but she was a scumbag, and she chose to break everything in pain. ”
Lu Tang: "Ahhh ”
Meng Xiaotian: "This place is different from the world. Here, you only get one chance for anything. If you fall out of love, the pain will stay with you, and it will never go away, but if you find happiness, you will cherish your time here more and more. Each person's soup had to be made for him individually, and in the process of boiling the soup, I had to go through all the grief, reluctance, and hatred of that person. It was precisely because every bowl of soup was so painful that my mother-in-law and mother gave up. ”
Lu Tang: "Then you're alone, it's very hard, right?"
Lu Tang's words touched Meng Xiaotian a little, after all, few people would think about her. Meng Xiaotian smiled: "That's why I invented hot pot! I only boil clear soup and feel a little bit of grief." You see this pot is crystal clear, right, when you put your hand in it, the ups and downs you have experienced can be dissolved in the pot, and there are all kinds of flavors and differences. Finally, when you are willing to eat these past unbearable things, you will also let go. ”
Lu Tang: "Oh, this soup is so fried, what about the dish? No vegetables? What kind of fat beef, hairy tripe, sausages, cabbage, tofu, tomatoes and so on." ”
Meng Xiaotian: "No." ”
Lu Tang was blindsided: "There is no hot pot called wool, what is the difference between it and soup? I suddenly don't want to eat it, I think I have something to put down now." ”
Li Yuankui: "What's the matter, it's not enough to spray my face twice, I still want to spray." ”
Lu Tang: "No, I'm going to get revenge." ”
Everyone: "Revenge?"
Lu Tang stood up in high spirits: "That's right, I'm going to settle accounts with that scumbag who deceived the jade girl's feelings! When it's over, I'll come back and drink the soup, you can pour this soup first." ”
Meng Xiaotian: "Hey, one person is just a bowl of soup, don't even think about reincarnation after you pour it!"
Lu Tang: "What the hell! Then you help me keep it first." ”
Meng Xiaotian: "It's okay to save it, pay the management fee! One million a year is good." ”
Lu Tang: "Damn, it's so real to be a ghost!"
Lu Zijing: "Little brother, the cost below can be high." Let's just say that our store, this fire fee, public security fee, environmental fee, property fee, etc., pay a lot of money in a year, you can't afford not to pay. ”
Meng Xiaotian: "Yes, if you don't hand it over, I'll pour it." ”
Lu Tang was a little broken: "I.... It's so hard to be a ghost now. ”
Meng Xiaotian: "What's your name?"
Lu Tang: "My name is Lu Tang. ”
Mink Yu shyly punched Lu Tang: "Eh, I hate it, it's such a sexy and revealing name for Lu Ju!"
Lu Tang: "Ahem, it's Lu Xiaofeng's Lu, the orange of the orange." ”
Meng Xiaotian: "Seeing that you have the heart to avenge the Jade Girl, I can take you in and do something." After deducting the soup fee, the monthly salary is one penny, are you interested?"
Lu Tang thought for a while and nodded: "How much is a penny? Shopkeeper, when am I going to work?"
Meng Xiaotian: "From this moment on." ”
