Chapter 34: The manager of an ancient restaurant
"What do guests want to eat?"
The shopkeeper standing at the counter slowly put down the porcelain cup in his hand and looked at Chen Xi, as well as a plant lamp behind Chen Xi, holding up the shadow creature of stems and leaves.
The middle-aged uncle showed an interested expression, focused on the strange plant with the wooden lantern, and said with a smile: "Very interesting creatures. ”
At this moment, Chen Xi had already observed the yin qi emanating from the boss's body through Xiao Ash's perspective, gray, with a radius of one and a half meters.
Xiao Ash's Yin Qi radius is only one meter, so the result is self-evident, Xiao Ash may not be able to fight this ghost!
However, Ash didn't think that it was full of confidence, thinking that as long as it pounced on it and scuffled for a hundred rounds, it could clean up the "fat sheep".
Hearing such a result, Chen Xi's confidence was still insufficient, but he was not as weak as he was just now.
Under the pressure of the boss's gaze, Chen Xi walked into the room.
Luo Mang wanted Chen Xi to escape, but he couldn't speak, so he could only stiffen himself and help him close the door.
When the head of the room came, he led the way, walked to a table, turned sideways, put on an ugly smile, and stretched out his hand to make the gesture "Please sit down, guest officer".
The head of the room winked at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi pretended not to see their faces, and said calmly: "Is there a menu?" ”
In between speaking, Xiao Ash put down the road light and looked at the shopkeeper excitedly.
Ash wants to eat ghosts!
The boss wore a long trench coat, came out of the counter, handed a wooden menu and put it on the table, ignored Xiao Ash's disregarded gaze, and was looking at the road guide lamp with burning eyes, and said, "You flower, do you sell it?" ”
Chen Xi didn't raise his head, and replied while looking at the menu: "Not for sale." ”
Little Gray bared his teeth, ready to burst out at any time.
"Don't be nervous." The boss stepped back to show kindness.
Chen Xi glanced up at him, "Can you let my roommate go?" ”
Hearing this, the boss smiled, calmly returned to the counter, took out a white cloth to wipe the pottery cup, "No." ”
"Why?"
"I'm short of people, these two men were captured by the woman, she is gone now, they can't go."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged uncle touched his beard, "If you are willing to sell this flower, I can let one of them go." ”
"Can't two people put it together?"
"No, I'm very busy with two less people, I can only put one, even if you have ten flowers for me, it won't work." The boss shook his head.
Chen Xihu looked around suspiciously and muttered, "This city is so empty, except that I am a guest, how can there be any guests here?" ”
"Then you're wrong, not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future, the city will recover sooner or later, and there will be more and more ghosts at that time." The boss shook his head.
Hearing the news, Chen Xi was stunned.
Will there be more and more ghosts in the city?
"What the hell are you ghosts trying to do?" Chen Xi asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Don't do anything, just find a place to live." The boss didn't want to say more, and said: "Do you want to eat something, you don't need money to order food here, you can order whichever you want." ”
"Don't want money?" Chen Xi was skeptical.
"Fate is a guest, I want money, and what I receive is fate." The manager smiled mysteriously.
For some reason, looking at that smile, Chen Xi felt creepy.
"If you're confused, you can take a look at the signature package."
"Signature course?"
Chen Xi looked back at the menu, today's signature set meal is blood-stained fried rice with freshwater tea.
After reading this signature package, Chen Xi looked at other dishes, most of which were pig trotters, raw lamb legs, raw snakes and scorpions, etc., but unexpectedly, there was no price.
"I heard that you can hell eat what you have here?" Chen Xi put down the menu and said.
"Seeing ghosts is just the basic effect, in fact, the most important function of the things that come to me is to be able to use the yin qi in the body, and almost every ghost can't refuse such a delicacy."
"But I'm alive."
"That's right, so you can order a cup of freshwater tea, you can also see ghosts, as for that dose of yin qi, it's okay for normal people, it's usually easy to attract ghosts." The boss laughed.
Speaking of this, Chen Xi showed a sudden expression.
If you dare to eat at this time, you can get three things.
Yin Qi, hell, summoning ghost physique!
To be reasonable, he still doesn't want to eat it, mainly because Chen Xi is afraid that this product will be poisoned.
"I'm not going to eat it." Chen Xi thought for a moment and got up.
"Afraid I'm poisoned?" The boss raised his eyebrows, pushed out two white porcelain cups, and took out a silver teapot to pour tea.
The moment Xiao Ash smelled the water, the dog's nose sucked lightly, and immediately showed an intoxicated look.
"You can give your pet a sip."
Hearing this, Xiao Frustration cocked his tail, looked at Chen Xi with a blank look, and stuck out his tongue.
Chen Xi: "......"
was sold in an instant, Xiao Ash, you are too unreliable.
In the end, Ash drank it anyway.
Grunt, one bite into the stomach, Xiao Ash is completely fine, and even full of energy, crazy circles in the room to vent his spare strength.
Chen Xi hesitated, and many thoughts flashed in his heart.
About the Hell...... Chen Xi thought of the second method - summoning!
Yes, why be obsessed with drinking the manager's tea to hell.
You must know that summoning is full of infinite possibilities, and there will definitely be something that inspires others to see hell.
So Chen Xi put down the teacup and didn't drink tea.
"Don't drink it, that's a shame." The store manager said regretfully.
Seeing the appearance of the old uncle touching his beard and sighing, Chen Xi felt a little confused.
He's here to save his roommate.
Then it became like this, the two talked calmly, and there was no imaginary plot at all, such as you caught my roommate, I wanted to beat you, but I was countered by the storekeeper demon king or something.
"Tell me, how can I let my roommate go?" Chen Xi said.
"Grab two substitutes for me." The manager made a request.
"Living?"
"That's right."
"I'm sorry I can't." Chen Xi refused.
People are people, and he won't do that.
If it were the protagonist of a fantasy novel, maybe he would really do it.
"Then catch two big ghosts, the kind that can do it, just like the headless female ghost before, and one more point, the ghost body must be complete! Like that female ghost holding her head all day long and spurting blood, looking at it will affect the image of the store very much. The uncle asked.
Chen Xi showed a look of surprise, it turned out that there was such an inside story.
But here's the problem.
The store manager is so strong, why didn't he take the initiative to catch one?
Or does the store manager have something else hidden?
In the end, the store manager did not tell the hidden secret, and Chen Xi was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Chen Xi pulled the head of the room and Luo Mang and said, "This flower can only be replaced by one person, you two will discuss, who will leave and who will stay." ”
After saying this, the head of the room and Luo Mang, who originally thought that there was no chance to escape, widened their eyes, opened their mouths, and their faces were full of incredulity.
"You don't have this flower, how can you go back to the world?" This time, the store manager was also shocked, he didn't expect Chen Xi to really let go of this flower.
Chen Xi didn't explain, in fact, this flower was summoned, and if not, another one would be summoned.
Luo Mang and the room manager didn't know the inside story, and when they heard what the store manager said, they were also anxious, "Chen Xi, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." ”
"Don't worry, I have a way to go back." Chen Xidao.
Hearing the news, Luo Mang and the head of the room were speechless for a while.
So now the two are faced with a difficult problem.
Who goes and who stays?
