Chapter 349: Emergencies
"Little genius, it's you. ”
The old woman said with a smile, picked up the glass bowl from the cupboard by the door, grabbed a handful of candy and put it in his hand, "I made my own sugar today, how about you taste it." ”
Han Xuan peeled it and put it in his mouth, it smelled of milk, nodded and praised, "Gummies, it tastes great!"
"My ancestors came from Switzerland, and the secret recipe of gummies has been passed down for more than 100 years, so you can eat it if you like. ”
The other party laughed happily and grabbed another handful for him
"Halloween in Los Angeles was scary when I was a child, causing many children to be afraid of Halloween, and in order to take care of them over the years, all the images were cartooned. ”
When she left, her father reached out and touched the puppet at the door of her house and said, "This is called the ugly ghost, and the legend says that the lonely ghosts and wild ghosts in hell tonight will return to the world, look for living creatures in the living, and take this opportunity to be reborn, so you must dress up as demons and monsters to scare them away." ”
"What about this jack-o'-lantern?" Han Xuan didn't know much about Western festivals, and he used to have almost no such festivals at home, because the old man and they couldn't do it, so his parents didn't have the habit of doing this.
"Well, there used to be a man named Jack who liked to be trick-or-treating, so he couldn't go to heaven after he died, and because he played tricks on the devil, he couldn't go to hell.
He can only wander around with a lantern, similar to the wandering ghosts of our Chinese people, and people imitate his image to drive away ghosts.
At first, it was made with turnips, but when they came to the Americas, they found pumpkins more convenient, so they used them as ......"
Guo's mother saw that someone had a puppet hanging on the tree, she was frightened, patted her chest and sighed, "Who is so boring, look over there, Jones and Martinez are coming." ”
Martinez also saw the strangely dressed family. He shoved Jones and waved his hand, "Boss!
Wow, Hanri Potter, where's your broomstick?"
Han Xuan rolled his eyes and saw Martinez dressed as a horror version of Captain America, and his face was covered in blood and looked quite scary. Dissatisfied, he said: "If you wear this suit, if the child leaves a shadow, my grandfather will make a movie about Captain America in the future, and he will have to sell a few fewer tickets."
You see how witty my dad is, ruining the image of DC Comics Superman, and no one will like it in the future. ”
"It's not that I want to be fat, I haven't eaten much and my stomach still comes out, or in less than two months, I'll train it into muscles!"
Father Han patted his stomach unhappily and muttered.
The owner's family's business, Snow Mountain Ranch, cowboys know it well. Jones hurriedly asked, "Are you really going to make a superhero movie? Great! Shoot Spider-Man first, I like him the most!"
"That technique is not good yet, you have to wait until later, which one to shoot first is a secret, I can't tell you, why just a few of you, what about the others?"
"Anderson was at home with Cheryl, and after she became pregnant, Anderson had less time to play. I think it's better to be single, but Barton Sr. is not interested. John's son came home, and he didn't come. ”
Jones, dressed as a spider, had six claws behind him, plus his hands were exactly eight, straightened his hat and continued: "I'm going to go to the bar for a drink later, the beer is half price today, will you go?"
Mom put her hand on Han Xuan's shoulder and said, "Forget it." He's there. ”
Martinez took a serious look at what she was wearing and gave a thumbs up in surprise, "That's cool, ma'am." ”
"Of course, if you have something to do, let's go first, and we'll go shopping......"
and Martinez they are separated.
Find a small café where you can have a drink and sit by the window.
The shopkeeper has placed movable eyeballs on the table. Half of the arm, internal organs, and a spider web more than a meter wide hung from the corner of the wall, on which a skeleton hung with a red glow in its eyes.
With all kinds of lights, it makes people feel weird, but the image is mostly cartoonish, and you can know that it is fake at a glance, but you won't feel scared.
There were a lot of people in the store, and the waiter came after a few minutes to ask what he needed, and when he saw Han Xuan there, he put away the things that might scare him, and showed a smiling expression, "Happy Halloween, Mr. Han, what do you want to drink?"
"A glass of lemonade, a glass of orange juice, and a cup of coffee for me"
Halfway through the conversation, there was the sound of a police car outside, the crowd was noisy, and Han's father asked the waiter, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, maybe there was a fight, or some kid accidentally burned something, it's like this every Halloween, it's nothing. ”
"Well, go ask the three bodyguards outside what they need to drink. ”
"Okay. ”
The waiter jotted down the drink in his notebook, sent it to the bar to be made, and asked Gabriel about them.
Police cars kept ringing, and police officers were flashlights calling Christina's name.
There was a lot of talk in the streets, and the dancing songs were stopped, making way for police cars.
Han Xuan knocked on the glass and pointed outside to ask Owen what was going on.
He nodded in understanding, walked to the side of the road, patted a young man, and when he learned of the situation, he quickly said a few words to Gabriel and Jason, and the two immediately put away their smiles.
Owen hurriedly pushed open the door and leaned down, "Just now a mother reported that her daughter is missing, her name is Christina, and she is only nine years old.
She went with her companions to ask for candy, but the children said she went home first, and her mother didn't wait for her at home. ”
Even though he had lowered his voice, his voice was still very loud, and another waiter brought a drink to hear it, and he lost his hand and did not hold the tray steadily, and the glass shattered and splashed.
The boss raised his head and hurriedly ran out, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! These drinks are mine, I'll make them do it again!"
Han Xuan wiped the water off his robe, shook his hand and said, "It's okay, do you know her?"
"She lives next door to me and I have a good relationship with her parents. The waiter took off his apron and looked at the middle-aged boss, "I'm sorry, I'm going out to help find it!"
The boss saw the police car outside, and also understood that something was wrong, the town is not big, everyone knows whom, remembered that he said neighbors, opened his eyes and shouted: "Christina!?"
I'm sorry, everyone! It's closed early today! I drank it for free, and I'll give you back what you paid."
Dad frowned and said to himself, "Second time, right?"
"Well, when we first moved in, too. ”
Han Xuan saw his father and mother talking, and asked them puzzled, "What?"
"When your dad and I first moved here, there was also a seven-year-old boy who disappeared on Halloween Eve, and now almost thirteen years have passed, and he has not been found, and his parents divorced soon after, and they have moved to other places. ”
Guo Mu sighed and said, wiping the lipstick on her lips, "Let's go out and help find it, maybe we got lost somewhere, Owen, you are optimistic about Han Xuan." ”
"I know, don't worry. ”
Leave and go outside.
As soon as I got out, the coffee shop owner and waiters rushed out, shouting Christina's name (to be continued). )
