Chapter 323: Sending Ghosts (16)
Two half-lit white lanterns hung at the doorway, lifeless and suitable, especially with the detachable wooden door. The white lanterns in the pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info swayed in the wind, and the wooden doors were just hidden.
I didn't go straight to the storefront, I was attached to the wooden door, half of my body was exposed, and I just poked my head in to see what was going on. This is a spacious inner hall, with wooden tables and long wooden benches, and a pair of incense burners on the rectangular hollow palm counter, lit with sandalwood, wisps of light smoke, which is very elegant.
There are a few figures sitting in the shop, each dressed in different clothes, sitting on a long wooden bench, drinking and enjoying themselves. The runner brought out a suspicious viscous liquid with jet-black bubbling inky bubbles, hot and puffy and smoking, but I wasn't curious about this.
Those guests, who couldn't see their faces clearly, seemed to sprinkle a "protective film" on their faces with powder, which vaguely made me feel half-asleep and half-asleep. As soon as I ran to the hall, I could see it clearly, he had no facial features, and his flat face was vast, and it was cold to look at. Several people who were sitting down to eat all stood up, picked up the incense candle in front of them and took a big bite as if they were biting on a large piece of chicken thigh, a delicacy.
Before I could calm down, my back was pushed hard, and my body slid forward, but fortunately, Bai Xuanzhi pulled me to avoid falling on all fours. I saw that it was a fluttering ghost pushing me, with no feet touching the ground, as if walking on tiptoe, and he nodded all the way, and said more than "blocking the door, annoying ......", but walked to the table against the wall and sat down. The runner hurriedly came over to greet him, and he closed his nagging complaints.
A few of us came in, chose a table and stool by the door, and sat quietly. After a while, another shopkeeper with no white and no facial features came running and handed over the food brand. I looked at the menu and took a deep breath.
What kind of dishes are these, "nine deaths and one life", "hard work", "death as home", "fierce and auspicious", "survival in death", etc., all of which are choices that make people's hairs stand on end, I quickly threw the menu on the table, I didn't want to take it, and I didn't want to look at it.
Lin Yao and Zhang Lin were the same, their faces turned iron green and their expressions were serious. There is an indescribable sense of boredom in this store, as if the feeling of laziness and suffocation before the wind and rain gives people, and the whole body is uncomfortable. If I had to really say what was wrong, I think it was all about it, whether it was the runners, the guests here, or the menu, it was very weird.
Bai Xuanzhi is carefully studying the meaning of these dishes. He didn't say a word, his eyes kept scanning the situation in the store without relaxing. He clasped his hands in front of his chest, showing a puzzled expression, his heart puzzled, and the uneasiness that welled up also made him anxious.
I sat quietly, my mind spinning, and I couldn't think of any effective way to do it, let alone understand why we had been invited into this "ghost shop". I glanced at the left and right suspiciously, but there was not necessarily any danger, they were just eating and drinking by themselves, and they didn't look at this side at all, for them, we were dispensable. I couldn't think of anything, and my heart was even more panicked. What was their purpose this time? Was it me? Or was it one of Lin Yao and Zhang Lin? One question after another arose in my mind, disturbing my thoughts indiscriminately, making me uneasy, and I couldn't help but be stunned there.
Raising their eyes and looking at Uncle Zhang and Lin Yao, the two of them must have been very nervous at this time, and the anxious look on their faces had already indicated their mood at the moment. The runner approached us again and asked us which dish we had chosen, but we were silent.
Lin Yao couldn't bear it at this time, and said with a slight sorrow: "What kind of dish are you, I will lose my appetite when I see it, what else to eat, we are not hungry, don't order!"
While talking, the shopkeeper came over, he also had white facial features, blank, and still couldn't let us see his face clearly, but he was well-dressed and well-dressed, and at a glance we could distinguish the difference between him and Paotang.
I looked away and looked in the direction of the door. This place is very remote, and there are not too many people on the dirt path, if anyone touches it, will they be forced to come to this shop like us, and insist on choosing these weird dishes?
I came back to my senses a little, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a woman standing next to the railing on the second floor, with a white dress, long hair up to the waist, and a beautiful face, but her face was quite pale, and her vivid eyes like water waves looked at me. No, to be precise, her eyes weren't on me. I tilted my head slightly, looked at Lin Yao, and immediately understood a little, and was so excited that I immediately started to say: "Uncle Lin, there is a female ghost on the second floor watching you, do you know that?" I said very quietly, almost whispering. Lin Yao raised his head and looked around, "What kind of female ghost?" I haven't seen anyone, are you mistaken, you will inevitably miss your eyes when you are nervous." Lin Yao muttered, with a confused expression on the second monk's face. I was puzzled, and once again fixed my eyes on the second floor, which was empty.
Maybe I'm really dazzled! I didn't think too much about it, there were almost no living people around here, as the name suggests, this shop was a ghost business, why did you want to bring the four of us in? I was puzzled. Seriously, it's almost midnight, and it's tortured and remote here, no one will enter this store stupidly, and it is estimated that those who come in are forced to be helpless, just like our glance, when there is no way back after the first five go, we can only use courage to break into this store at the risk of death.
The shopkeeper walked over, took a few looks, put back the menus, told the little two next to him, and then politely apologized to us, saying that those who ran the hall made a mistake, not only that, but also let us eat for free, and we can leave immediately after eating. After saying a few words, he didn't say anything else, and went back to his work.
"What's going on? Mistake? I don't believe it's wrong. Is there any poison in this meal, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of this door after eating, right?" I really can't help but suspect the unusual attitude of the shopkeeper.
Zhang Lin interjected: "I also agree with Xiaoqing's statement, what if this is a trap? I'm afraid that we won't order food, and we will have some hard food, the sentence just now sounds suspicious, and you can leave after eating, this, this is unreasonable!" Lin Yao nodded, gave a thumbs up, and agreed with what Zhang Lin said. I recalled the attitude of the shopkeeper just now, I felt that it was too weird, and I just started to ignore us, and then I came over deliberately, saying that it was a mistake, and let us eat and drink here for free, no matter how I think about it, I feel that things are too bizarre. You don't really want to poison us, do you? Thinking about it makes me even angrier, and I want to get out of here now. Although he thought so, he was still afraid, so he could only sit obediently and wait for the judgment of fate in the next second.
