Chapter 33: The Missing (18)
After a violent shaking, Ye Chen slowly opened her eyes, she felt groggy, her brain was filled with paste, and her eyes were blurry, as if through a layer of frosted glass, and after a while, her eyes slowly focused, and she saw Lin Nian's worried face.
"Great, finally woke up." Lin Nian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "How do you feel, why did you faint?" ”
yes, why did I faint? Ye Chen covered his head and replayed the previous memory fragments in his mind, there was no one in the store...... I'm dozing off...... Gong Xin ran in...... She said it was "haunted...... And then, and then......
"Ahh Ye Chen screamed and shouted hoarsely, "Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin......"
Seeing Ye Chen's panicked appearance, Lin Nian hurriedly grabbed her hand and hugged her into his arms, and said, "Chen, don't be afraid, what's wrong, what's wrong with Xiao Xin?" ”
Ye Chen looked at Lin Nian, tears couldn't help but flow, and said, "Xiao Xin is dead!" She fell into Lin Nian's arms and shouted hoarsely: "Xiao Xin is dead, another good friend is dead!" ”
Seeing Ye Chen crying bitterly, Lin Nian also felt a little sour in his heart, Ye Chen was also like this when his sister died tragically a few years ago, crying in a daze, and he couldn't stop his tears.
Lin Nian knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, she could only hug Ye Chen tightly, hoping to give her some comfort. After a while, Lin Nian felt that her crying was getting quieter and quieter, and when she looked down, she was already asleep, and a few obvious tear stains made her face look like a flower-faced cat, even in her sleep, she still frowned, and seemed to be immersed in sadness.
Lin Nian sighed, picked her up, closed the door, and went home.
The next morning, Ye Chen woke up in a nightmare, she dreamed that her good friend Gong Xin died, or killed herself, this dream was so real that Ye Chen couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
While eating breakfast, Ye Chen hesitated for a while and asked, "Nian, ...... last night?"
Lin Nian stuffed a fried bun into his mouth and said vaguely, "What happened last night, did you have a nightmare?" ”
Ye Chen asked, "I'm not asking this, I mean, did anything strange happen last night?" ”
Lin Nian chewed a few times, swallowed the fried bun into his stomach, thought for a while and said, "Something strange happened yesterday. ”
Ye Chen asked nervously, "What happened?" ”
Lin Nian said viciously: "Weren't you looking at the store last night? How did you fall asleep? I saw that you hadn't come back at almost twelve o'clock, and I thought something had happened to you, but I ran to the store and saw that you were sleeping on the counter like a dead pig, and I finally got you back. ”
Ye Chen smiled awkwardly and asked, "Huh...... What about other than that? ”
Lin Nian glanced at her and said, "What else do you want me to do?" It's not enough to throw you on the bed, and you want me to sleep? ”
Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”
Almost finished eating, Ye Chen asked cautiously, "Nian, do you have any arrangements for today?" ”
Lin Nian asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?" ”
Ye Chen said, "If you want to have nothing to do, can you accompany me to the store?" As he spoke, he looked at Lin Nian with a pair of big watery eyes.
Lin Nian shuddered, goosebumps were about to rise when she looked at her like this, and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you today." ”
"Hmm." Ye Chen whispered in agreement, and his face was a lot more relaxed.
When she opened the door of the store and just walked in, Ye Chen screamed, she pulled Lin Nian's clothes, and said with a crying voice: "Look there! ”
Lin Nian looked in the direction Ye Chen pointed to, and there was a snakeskin bag in the corner of the wall, bulging, and he didn't know what was inside. Lin Nian scratched her nose and said, "When did it become so small, isn't it just a bag?" ”
Ye Chen's tears swirled in his eyes, and he said, "No, it's not like this......"
Lin Nian walked over directly, opened the snakeskin bag to take a look, and said, "It's nothing, it's your purchase here." ”
Ye Chen boldly walked over and looked at it from a distance, it was really, the bag was filled with a new batch of suede dolls, which were stuffed to the brim, as if someone was really lying inside.
Everything last night was really just a dream, because Ye Chen, who made such a fuss about a dream, was a little embarrassed. She took a closer look, and there was no blood at all, it definitely couldn't be a bag that had been filled with a corpse.
Ye Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It turned out that I was scaring myself, thank you, Nian, you go and get busy, I can take care of it alone." ”
Lin Nian sat down at the counter and said, "Don't even think about it, you're going to throw me away when you're done with it?" No way, I'll eat you today. ”
"Am I not afraid of delaying your business?" Ye Chen said with an innocent face.
Lin Nian didn't appreciate Ye Chen's kindness at all, she pointed to the watch on the wall and said, "Look at what time it is, if you want to delay it, it will be delayed a long time ago, what's the use of saying this now?" ”
"Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, okay." Seeing that Lin Nian was going to babble endlessly, Ye Chen hurriedly surrendered and said.
Packing the bag of dolls into the small warehouse, Ye Chen turned around and locked the door, she didn't notice that there was a bloody human head hidden in a large pile of dolls. This is also a helpless thing, although the head is the most core part of a person, but it is also the part with the worst taste, there is really no way.
Lin Nian stayed here with Ye Chen all day, helping to clean up and check out the bills and send off guests, Ye Chen was not polite at all, and turned Lin Nian's call, of course, because there were many guests, she herself was also busy.
After sending another wave of guests away, Lin Nian sat down on the chair and didn't want to move his fingers.
Ye Chen said while tidying up the overturned shelves: "Nian, mop the ground and use that half-dried mop." ”
This sentence completely detonated Lin Nian, the green tendons on her temples jumped up, and said: "Don't think about it, my mother didn't give you a long job, Lao Tzu won't do it!" ”
Seeing that Lin Nian was really angry, Ye Chen came over and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, since you're tired, just sit and rest for a while." With that, she picked up the mop and began to mop the floor.
Seeing this, Lin Nian also felt a little embarrassed, at first she insisted on staying, and Ye Chen's work was not less than that. Lin Nian stood up and said, "I'll come." ”
Ye Chen said while mopping the floor: "It's okay, just rest for a while when you're tired, you don't do this often, I guess it's a little too adaptable." ”
At Ye Chen's insistence, Lin Nian sat down again, and she asked, "Are you so tired every day?" ”
Ye Chen put the mop back in the corner, wiped his sweat, and said: "Of course not, if I were so busy every day, I would have hired someone a long time ago, today is the weekend, and many schools have finished exams, but there is no holiday yet, it is when the students have nothing to do, many people choose to go out to play, and this time will naturally be busy." ”
