It took about five or six minutes for the bathroom to cease, leaving only the men and women snoring and breathing heavily.

"Done? It's so long-lasting, Uncle Zheng is really amazing! ”

Xu Lang sat up from the sofa and scratched his tormented ears.

After another six or seven minutes, the bathroom door opened.

Zheng Zhiwei walked out of it naked, with a bath towel wrapped around his lower body, humming a little song in his mouth.

"Uncle Zheng, good evening!"

Xu Lang stood up from the side of the sofa and showed an innocent smile.

"I'm grass!"

This good evening Uncle Zheng almost didn't scare Zheng Zhiwei into sitting on the ground.

He instinctively wanted to shout: Catch the thief, come quickly!

But it suddenly occurred to him that this was not his own home at all, a thief who caught chicken feathers?

Fortunately, he saw Xu Lang's face clearly, and made sure that it was not a burglary criminal, so he calmed down a little, and then asked, "Xiao Lang?" Why are you here? ”

"I gave Uncle Qiu a handbag, and he fell to me before. I watched the door close, and then came in. Xu Lang gestured to the black handbag in his hand.

"Your Uncle Qiu is not at home...... Zheng Zhiwei said.

Xu Lang nodded and said, "Well, I didn't know he wasn't at home before I came, but now it's up to you, Uncle Zheng...... Uh, and I know he's not home anymore! ”

The implication is that he wants to be at home, Uncle Zheng, do you dare to do this?

As soon as the words came out, Xu Lang couldn't hold back himself, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he laughed.

His smile made Zheng Zhiwei even more uncomfortable.

Zheng Zhiwei asked tentatively, "It's been a long time since you came in?" ”

"Uh...... It's been a long time, and I've heard everything I should have heard and what I shouldn't, uh, I've heard it. But I didn't mean to, Uncle Zheng! Xu Lang spread his hands and expressed helplessness.

Zheng Zhiwei hurriedly said: "Xiao Lang, some things are not what you think, I... I ......"

Xu Lang saw that he was explaining so hard, raised his hand, and said, "Uncle Zheng, don't explain, I understand!" ”

Zheng Zhiwei: "I ......"

"Zheng Zhiwei, are you embarrassed?"

In the bathroom, Liu Ru seemed to know everything that happened in the living room, and shouted through the glass door: "He has said everything to this point, do you still need to explain?" Can you change your clothes and come out to talk again? ”

"Auntie is right, Uncle Zheng, why don't you and your aunt go back to the house first to change clothes, and then we can talk?"

Xu Lang pointed to Zheng Zhiwei's clean upper body, and said with a smile: "I'm worried that you have a cold!" ”

With that, sit back on the couch, facing away from the bathroom.

"Okay, let's talk for a while, talk for a while."

Zheng Zhiwei turned around and pulled up Liu Ru in the bathroom, and hurriedly went back to the bedroom.

Ten minutes later.

Zheng Zhiwei, who was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, walked out of the bedroom and regained the majesty and demeanor of the deputy director of his development zone.

As for Aunt Liu Ru, she stayed in the bedroom and did not come out.

If you don't come out, you won't come out, although Aunt Liu Ru is light and familiar, but after all, the aftermath of the bathroom before is lingering in Xu Lang's mind. It's awkward to meet at this time.

After Zheng Zhiwei sat down, as if he was half a villa owner, he raised Erlang's legs, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table, and handed it to Xu Lang: "Come on?" ”

Xu Lang waved his hand, indicating that he would not smoke.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zheng Zhiwei lit a cigarette by himself, maybe he smoked a little hard, choked on nicotine fiercely, and coughed again and again.

The two of them sat like this, not knowing where to start, one was speechless, a little embarrassed.

After Zheng Zhiwei snuffed out the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand, he asked, "Qiu Peiren took someone to your place at night, right?" ”

Xu Lang snorted lightly, hearing Zheng Zhiwei ask this, he knew that he and Qiu Peiren were definitely not as simple as local entrepreneurs and district leaders, otherwise how would he know that Qiu Peiren would take people to him at night to smash the field?

"You don't have to look at me like that," Zheng Zhiwei waved his hand and said, "Since your parents disappeared, Qiu Peiren has not coveted this piece of land in your amusement park for a day or two, and this is no secret in the district!" ”

Xu Lang frowned and asked: "That district just watched like this, let him do anything wrong and maliciously occupy other people's land, don't you care?" ”

"If he dares to buy and occupy by force, the district will definitely take care of it!"

Zheng Zhiwei said with a straight look: "But your family borrowed money from him, this is a fact, no matter how he made you owe him money, this is someone else's Yang, in accordance with the law." But if you can't pay it for a long time, and he sues the court, will he also sentence your family to take the property out of the auction to pay off the debt? How can the district manage this kind of thing? ”

"But ......"

Xu Lang wanted to speak and stopped, and then thought about what Zheng Zhiwei said is not unreasonable, borrowing money and owing money, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, this is a fact, not to mention the leaders of the district, even if you find the leaders of the city, it will not help.

"My father and I are also old friends, and I sympathize with what happened to your family, but there are some things, don't say that I am just the deputy director of the management committee of the development zone, even if I am the director, I can't help you." Zheng Zhiwei looked at Xu Lang and said quietly: "Fortunately, you are still angry, and you haven't lost the amusement park left by your father until now." But you also call me Uncle Zheng, today we happened to meet the two of us, there is a sentence that I still need to talk to you about being an uncle! ”

Xu Lang hummed again.

Zheng Zhiwei's words seemed to be heartfelt and sensational, but Xu Lang was not very interested in this kind of official oil, and he walked around with his father at the beginning, also because his father was a representative of a well-known local entrepreneur. Otherwise, why is his father missing and gone, and he, the deputy director who is an uncle, has not shown his face so far? Even if he was bullied and humiliated by Qiu Peiren before, didn't he come out to say a fair word?

Some people, who seem to have been friends for many years, are actually always just general friends.

Some words, which sound like words from the heart, are actually beautiful scenes.

He even believed that Zheng Zhiwei, the deputy director, was willing to sit down and patiently talk to him so much and say so much, not because of his father's friendship back then, but because he inadvertently came to the Qiu family's villa, saw things that should not be seen, and heard voices that should not be heard.

After all, he and Liu Ru are not a good thing to see, and Zheng Zhiwei still has some scruples.

Zheng Zhiwei lit another cigarette.

After he took a leisurely sip, he said slowly: "Your family's amusement park was indeed brilliant back then, but now it is sunset and no longer brilliant, listen to my uncle's advice, while Qiu Peiren can still offer a clear price now, you can sell it." This money, in addition to paying off the debts owed by your family, must be more than that. With the rest of the money, even if you go to work in the city, it's better than sticking to a broken amusement park that can't even sell tickets, right? ”

If he hadn't gotten the late-night park system before, maybe Xu Lang would have seriously considered Zheng Zhiwei's suggestion, comparing him to Zheng Zhiwei without hostility, when he used to associate with his father, he often called Zheng Zhiwei Uncle Zheng! The advice and advice from the elders are more or less well-intentioned.

But now it's different, the emergence of the late-night park system has given him strong self-confidence, and it has completely changed his future life plan.

"Thank you Uncle Zheng for your suggestion, but I'd love to know one thing."

Xu Lang asked: "Why does Qiu Peiren have to get my family's amusement park, to be exact, why do you have to get my family's piece of land and hurry up?" It stands to reason that the location of this land is not a feng shui treasure, let alone a planned land to be developed in the district. I'm curious! ”

This question has actually been hovering in Xu Lang's mind these days, but he believes that Qiu Peiren will definitely not tell him.

Since Zheng Zhiwei is the deputy director of the development zone and has dealings with Qiu Peiren, he should know the inside story.

"This ......" The flicker in Zheng Zhiwei's words made Xu Lang even more convinced that he knew the inside story.

Seeing that Zheng Zhiwei was still hesitating, Xu Lang suddenly said: "Uncle Zheng, don't worry, what I saw and heard today, as long as I get out of this door, I will all rot in my stomach!" ”

"You!" Zheng Zhiwei's face froze.

I can't tell that Xu Lang is blackmailing him. The implication is that if he doesn't tell him the inside story, he will run to tell Qiu Peiren about his personal relationship between Director Zheng and Liu Ru!

After Zheng Zhiwei weighed left and right, he finally said half-concealedly: "Actually, this land is not what Qiu Peiren wants, but there is a big boss behind him, who has taken a fancy to your paradise, and must have your land!" Qiu Peiren just helped him collect the land! ”

"Oh? And the big boss? Who is it? Xu Lang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there was someone behind Qiu Peiren.

"Pan Xiongtu, a real estate tycoon in Donghae City! You may not know you when you're young, but your dad certainly does! ”

Zheng Zhiwei coughed a little, and said earnestly: "Xiao Lang, I advise you to sell the amusement park while it is expensive now." If you don't want to go through Qiu Peiren's hands, Uncle Zheng and Pan Xiongtu can also get on the line, and they can help you ......"

"Thanks, no!"

Without waiting for Zheng Zhiwei to finish speaking, Xu Lang had already decisively rejected his "kindness".

Whether Zheng Zhiwei wants to make a vote for his political achievements, or wants to use him as a stepping stone to pay homage to Pan Xiongtu Pan Tycoon, he will not consider the suggestion of selling the amusement park, not before, but now that he has the system in hand, he will not!

As for the real promoter behind the scenes, Pan Xiongtu, the tycoon of the East China Sea, now that he has surfaced, he can only cover up the water and slowly deal with it.

He believes that with the help of the late-night park system, over time, he will definitely be able to keep the only property left to him by his parents!

The days ahead will definitely be an uphill battle!

"Uncle Zheng, it's not too early, I'll go home first."

Xu Lang stood up, threw Qiu Peiren's handbag on the sofa, and shouted in the direction of the bedroom: "Aunt Liu Ru, I put Uncle Qiu's handbag on the sofa, and you turn around and hand it to him!" ”

"Well... Good. In the bedroom, Liu Ru responded nervously and panickedly.

Zheng Zhiwei suddenly stood up, and stopped talking: "Xiao Lang, today's matter, you see, hehe......"

"Uncle Zheng, don't worry, if this matter goes out, I'll be rotten in my stomach."

Xu Lang narrowed his eyes again, smiled, and said: "Besides, Qiu Peiren and I are incompatible, you slept with his wife, and we are comrades-in-arms!" ”

Poof!

There was the sound of something falling to the floor in the bedroom.

Xu Lang suddenly reacted, his words were ambiguous, as if he had slept with Aunt Liu Ru, and quickly changed his words randomly: "I mean, Aunt Liu Ru is so beautiful and temperamental, marrying Qiu Peiren is like a white swan falling into a toad's nest." Uncle Zheng, you are only forty years old, divorced and single, and Aunt Liu Ru just set up a pair of beautiful people made in heaven, I am willing to be an adult, and it will not harm your good things. ”

Zheng Zhiwei: "......"

"Let's go, Uncle Zheng!"

Xu Lang walked to the door, stopped again, stretched his neck and howled in the direction of the bedroom: "Auntie, I'm leaving!" ”

"Huh... Well, often... Come often, Xiao Lang! ”

In the bedroom, Liu Ru's nervous voice was a little more affectionate than just now.

……

left the Zheng family's villa and drove a pickup out of Poplar Town.

By the time he got back to Midnight Paradise, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

Back in the office, Xu Lang lit three incense sticks in the incense burner in the corner of the wall for the first time, and then shouted to the empty room: "Xinxin, come out to eat." ”

"Ouch, the boss is back!"

On the ground, Huang Xinxin floated out of thin air, smelling the curling incense, and looked intoxicated.

Xu Lang thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your hard work tonight, if you didn't control the journey of the Styx tonight, I wouldn't have been able to punish those bastards, and it would be impossible to complete the random task released by the system - [Punish the Intruder], and earn another 20,000 yuan in system rewards!" ”

"And how thankful are you for that? The boss ...... "Huang Xinxin flew to Xu Lang's side from the incense burner, hugged Xu Lang's neck, and rubbed his cheek against Xu Lang.

Hiss......

Xu Lang felt her veneers and pampering. In my mind, I unconsciously sounded Liu Ru's delicate ~ panting and moaning in the bathroom just now, a seductive and beautiful music of love.

Cheaply, a fiery mass rose in the lower abdomen.

It's really a dog, he scolded himself secretly, and he was actually seduced by a female ghost and could react!

He struggled to dodge, "Of course I won't forget your hard work, I ordered some high-grade incense for you online, and it is estimated that it will arrive in two days." ”

"Well, it's still the boss who is the best for me." Huang Xinxin kissed Xu Lang on the cheek, and then floated to the incense burner to continue smoking the incense.

looked at Huang Xinxin's coquettish back...... Uh, ghost, Xu Lang is a little puzzled, as a female ghost, why is her contact with her body so real?

There was a bold idea rising in his heart!

But in an instant, he was snuffed out again!

Rumble......

Suddenly, thunder sounded outside.

Immediately afterward, a downpour of rain was uninvited.

The raindrops hit the glass window of the office, and it also interrupted the little charm in Xu Lang's heart.

Rainy nights, perfect for sleeping.

Just as I was about to go to bed, click-

The old machine computer started up on its own again.

"Is there another random mission?" He walked over to the computer.

Sure enough, the old machine was started, and there was a - ding!

In the system interface, a message box pops up, and a series of texts follow:

"Mission Name: A Bowl of Meng Po Soup"

"Mission requirements: Go to Meng Po Village to ask for a bowl of Meng Po soup, and bring it back to the late night park safely, time limit, before sunrise to complete, otherwise the mission will fail."

"Special reminder: from love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from the lover, worry-free is not afraid, Meng Po soup, worry-free tea, the dead drink soup, the living drink tea."

"Mission Reward: Unknown."

"May I ask player Xu Lang, do you accept the mission?"

……

Xu Lang looked at this task and couldn't help frowning, he didn't understand: "The previous tasks were all name requirements and rewards, so this time a special prompt suddenly appeared?" Or is it a piece of classical Chinese that is like a poem but not a poem, and like a word is not like a word? There is also this task reward, which is actually written unknown. Does it mean that this reward is super awesome? ”

This unknown reward seems to be very tempting!

He didn't want to think about it, and directly chosen: "I accept it!" ”

Soon, his phone received a very large pixel image in a very timely manner.

Xu Lang pressed the photo, kept zooming in, and found the red dot: "Huh? Isn't this the closest general market to me? ”

"It's more than two o'clock now, the sunrise should be six o'clock, it's only more than three hours......" Xu Lang looked at the time, although the task description was very simple, but this task was different from the previous task format, and he had a hunch that this task would be very difficult.

He suddenly set his eyes on Huang Xinxin, who was still intoxicated and smoking incense in the corner, isn't this a ready-made helper?

So he asked, "Xinxin, I took a system task, do you want to go out with me to carry it out?" ”

"Boss, this is not in accordance with the rules, this is the task issued by the system to you. And my ghost body can't leave the Late Night Paradise! Huang Xinxin shook her head and refused directly.

Well, it looks like you're on your own!

He tidied up a little and went downstairs.

He was ready to drive a pickup truck and go out on a mission.

But who knows that this opening is difficult.

After the car started, the fuel gauge showed that it was almost out of gas, and it was estimated that the oil would drive for one kilometer before the meal stopped.

There was a gas station on the way back from Poplar Town just now, but I forgot to refuel.

"Unlucky ......"

Xu Lang looked at the heavy rain and lightning outside, and felt a little helpless.

If there is a car, everything will fall into place, and when you get to the place, you can take the Meng Po soup and come back, how convenient is it?

Now I have to give up the idea of driving there.

Ten minutes later, Xu Lang put on rain boots, raincoat, umbrella, searchlight, mobile phone, dagger, and set off for his destination.

How to get there: On foot!

……

At around 3 a.m., hike to the vicinity of the general market shown by the red dot on the photo.

At this time, the streets are deserted and almost empty.

Xu Lang held an umbrella while looking down at the map on his phone.

After going around the general market for a long time, I walked a few hundred meters along a path with no street lights.

At this moment, the position where he was standing finally overlapped with the points marked on the map of his mobile phone.

This is it!

Xu Lang looked up and glanced around, and in this night of heavy rain, the dilapidated streets were pitch black.

"Hoo ......"

A cold wind blew, chilling suddenly.

He tightened the collar of his raincoat, but the wind seemed to be able to penetrate the rubber raincoat, making him shiver with cold!

Looking up from the arrow on the map, through the dense rain and mist, I vaguely saw a small antique building that was completely different from other buildings on the surrounding streets, and was quite simple and magnificent.

On the curved and towering cornices of the small building, there seemed to be something tied, and it was so dark that I couldn't see it clearly, and I could only vaguely see the thing swaying in the wind and rain.

On the front of the small building, a plaque with red paint on a black background hangs obliquely, and the big red characters on it read: Meng Pozhuang!

Xu Lang swallowed, he always felt that this small building was particularly abrupt, although it was as dilapidated as other houses, but the architectural style was too different, right?

He walked slowly to the door, leaned sideways to the crack of the door and went inside, there were candles burning in the village, the candles were swaying, and the light was dim, but Xu Lang could see everything inside.

"It's ...... Shroud shop? ”

Xu Lang stood in front of Meng Pozhuang's door and took a deep breath, although he was already mentally prepared, he was still a little apprehensive.

As a child, he attended the funeral of a relative and was frightened by the paper figure erected in the door in the middle of the night. Since then, he has been very afraid of this kind of shroud shop, because there will be some paper people in this kind of store, which is a childhood nightmare.

Xu Lang took a deep breath, slowly raised his arm and knocked on the door of the store.

"Click......

At the moment when the door of the store was knocked, accompanied by a deafening roar, a densely branched purple-red lightning pierced the dark night sky, and under the light of the flashing light of purple-red, the dilapidated door in front of Xu Lang opened......

An old woman with a hunchback and a wrinkled face, holding a paper lantern, stood quietly behind the door: "Who is coming, knocking on the door late at night, what are you doing?" ”

"Uh...... Ahem...... There was rain in the middle of the night, for fear of catching a cold, so I begged for a bowl of Meng Po soup. "Xu Lang heard the other party speak so 'ancient', and he also learned the way the ancients spoke in the TV series.

"Do you know where this is, young man?" The old grandmother pointed to the plaque erected next to it, which read the words 'Meng Pozhuang'.

"Now that I've come, I know where it is." Xu Lang bent over towards the old grandmother, with a smile on his face, "Please also ask the old man to give me a bowl of Meng Po soup." ”

"You know why you're coming. My Meng Po soup can't be drunk by the living. The old man's hand was raised, and the lantern was pasted on Xu Lang's face, and Xu Lang was looked at by the light of the candle, and said, "You are a living person, you can't drink, you can't drink!" ”

Listening to the other party's words, Xu Lang knew that he had come to the right place, and there was also Meng Po soup, but he just didn't give it!

You can't knock over this old woman with one punch, can you rob it?

This is certainly not the way the task released by the system is accomplished.

He suddenly thought of the special prompt when the system issued the task before, he carefully recalled the words that seemed to be poetry and song, tightly squeezed the handle of the umbrella, and slowly read: "From love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from the lover, worry-free is not afraid, Meng Po soup, worry-free tea, the dead drink soup, the living drink tea." ”

When he had finished, the old woman suddenly said, "Come in with me." ”

Well?

Is this a password? It's like a sesame seed opening the door?

It's really right!

Xu Lang followed her into the shroud shop, uh no, to be exact, called Meng Pozhuang!

As soon as I entered the door, I passed through the front hall full of paper and colorful funeral supplies, and followed the old woman down a road.

Walking to the end of the road, there was a female model wearing a shroud on display, and at first glance, Xu Lang was still startled.

Although he didn't understand the doorway in the shroud shop, he guessed that it should be from the Qing Dynasty when he looked at the system of this shroud.

However, the mannequin emitted a foul smell that was disgusting.

I don't know where the wind came from in the corridor, so I exhaled and blew away the model's wig covering her cheeks, revealing the model's deep eye sockets......

Looking further under the eye sockets, the model's lips were thin and short, unable to cover the exposed teeth, and the cheeks were shriveled like air-dried bacon.

The ...... of the grass mud horse This is not a mannequin, this is a real corpse!!

Xu Lang's legs were weak, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the spot!

The moment he knelt on the ground, Xu Lang's face was only an inch away from the stomach of the dried corpse.

He could clearly see that the belly of the dried corpse was churning, as if there were countless insect eggs surging in the abdomen......
