2. Jinpen Old Street

Lao Zhang raised his hand and threw the Coke into the trash can opposite. There was a snap and hit the edge of the trash can, and the bottle was not thrown in, and it was scattered all over the ground.

He scolded and picked it up, and had to throw it back in.

After throwing the bottle, Lao Zhang seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and asked me: "You said that you shouted twice, and then you received the platform news, see if the news is still there?" ”

It seems that the impact of that bird poop from the sky on his worldview is also enough. I quickly took out my phone and tried to dig out those messages.

Lao Zhang looked at me and frowned, and hurriedly ran over to me and stared at the screen with me.

There were indeed two read messages, but we were both dumbfounded when we opened them.

From the sender's phone number to the content and even the time of the text message – it's all garbled.

Lao Zhang rubbed his eyes and asked me, "Boss Xu, is this Chinese?" You have strong foreign language skills, can you understand it from above? ”

"It wasn't like that before." Fine sweat began to ooze from my palms.

Holding my breath, I hurriedly opened other text messages, everything was normal, I sent another query traffic to the mobile company, the phone shook, quickly opened, and the reply text messages received were also normal.

At this time, Lao Zhang and I withdrew our gazes at the same time and glanced at each other. "What's going on?" Lao Zhang lucked his luck, maybe he had calculated the experience of delivering food in the past two years, and asked himself: "Forget it, don't think about it, this should be a few incidents, as long as you go back to sleep, maybe you will be fine tomorrow." ”

At this moment, my phone suddenly shook again, and before I could recover at this time, the phone almost fell to the ground. I hurriedly lit up the screen, only to see that there was a system message on it, Lao Zhang glanced at it and motioned for me to take a look.

I hurriedly clicked on the message, which read: "You have a new delivery order, please go to Longma Takeaway, No. 142, Jinpen Old Street to pick up the delivery, item number 02......"

And the delivery address is like 2-04 of the tube building I went to during the day.

"Jinpen Old Street?" Lao Zhang suddenly scratched his head and said, "Isn't that a place to sell money, paper, incense, candles, and funeral goods?" Do you also do restaurant food delivery now? ”

My hands trembled a little, and I pointed to the delivery address and said, "The consignee and the address are the ones I just said!" ”

Tao Xiaoling, No. 25, Sugar Spinning Lane, Thatched Street, Hosiery Factory Dormitory 2-04...... Hey, why didn't you leave a call? "Nowadays, food delivery generally keeps privacy confidential, so the user's mobile phone cannot be directly seen by our delivery staff to protect the user's privacy, but the platform will at least keep a number for the transfer call to ensure that we can contact the other party.

"What should I do?" I panicked in my heart.

"If what you say is true, can you take this job? More is better than less, turn the order, step on the horse. Lao Zhang couldn't help but scold.

"Hmm." I immediately chose a reason why the vehicle was out of power, and I couldn't help but click the transfer button, and even stopped taking orders, and completely closed the order.

"You have a new delivery order, please rush to the merchant to pick it up in time." A crisp system sound rang from Lao Zhang's phone. Lao Zhang was excited, and after opening his mobile phone, he saw that he immediately frowned.

Then he scolded again and handed me the phone.

"Hehe," I laughed awkwardly, and actually transferred the order directly to Lao Zhang. Thinking about it, the system automatically dispatches orders according to the location of the delivery person, and Lao Zhang's position is almost the same as mine, so I canceled it, and naturally the system will give priority to transferring it to him.

"Rub, why don't you move??" Lao Zhang took back his mobile phone and clicked on the order, but the button turned gray, and the following noted: The order has been transferred many times in a short period of time, which has not avoided affecting the user experience, please contact the user to take the initiative to refund the order or be sure to deliver it on time. The platform will increase the bonus by 2.5 yuan.

"This platform is engaged in wool! There is no contact information for the above users, so how can I teach the user to cancel the order? Lao Zhang was obviously a little anxious, obviously the shock brought to him by the bird was still affecting him: "Let me risk my life to deliver food to the fierce ghost for two pieces of five?" ”

I saw Lao Zhang's anxious demeanor, thinking about his situation, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Why don't I go with you?" ”

"Don't make a mistake, what do you want to go with me, you should have go." Lao Zhang scolded, inserted the key into his electric car, and said weakly: "Get in the car, is Lao Tzu a big man still afraid of a ghost?" I'm just taking you for a ride, I guess you'll go less on Jinpen Old Street. ”

I locked my car, sat down in the back seat of him, and said, "I can't go with you in vain, you have to invite me to a Coke." "After all, as he said, two big men, there is always one to take care of each other, so it's so difficult that you can be afraid?

"The reward is only two dollars and five, so don't you have to post five cents!" Lao Zhang complained and twisted the handlebars.

Because Jinpen Old Street is close to the city's old crematorium, it is naturally surrounded by one-stop services around white things. Not to mention nine o'clock in the evening, even during the day, there are very few people here.

After all, the main business range is very exact, and ordinary people will not want to go in this direction when they hang out.

Even if the cremation business has been shut down and moved to a new funeral home, Jinpen Old Street is still the same as before, deserted and secluded, and there are no people at home who have nothing to do, so they will not come here for no reason.

Obviously, tonight we are the exception.

Turning from the bustling Shuyuan Road to Jinpen Old Street, the scene in front of you is completely different.

The nightlife of the city that never sleeps outside has just begun, and the whole street here seems to be cut off from the rest of the world, almost devoid of pedestrians.

The street lamps of the entire old street are new cold lights, which illuminate the empty streets and make people feel cold.

Lao Zhang coughed and carried me forward at full speed.

Why do I suddenly feel like the wind is blowing so cold tonight?

I turned my head to look on both sides, and most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. They are all wreaths, shrouds, incense, candles, paper, white things, etc., which make people look at the signs that they subconsciously want to avoid, in fact, there is no value in the industry, and it is not discrimination against this industry, but it is affected by traditional culture, and living people are always a little taboo about these.

"Closing so early, does it affect business?"

Lao Zhang's voice trembled slightly, and he didn't know if it was cold or what, and he was a little speechless.

I understood what he meant if someone needed these items at night, and said, "Well, each sign has a contact information under it, and it says 24 hours a day." Hey, that one is trendy enough, and there is a QR code. ”

"Only that one is lit up......" After driving for about one or two hundred meters, Lao Zhang saw that there was finally a shop in the distance with lights under the eaves.

The electric car slowly stopped at the door of the lighted house, and I noticed that the neon sign was lit up, but two miserable white lantern patterns - reflecting the black sign "Ryoma incense candle" on a white background in the middle.

White lanterns, unlucky.

The door of this shop is one of four very old wooden doors, with glass embedded in it, hair salons and restaurants in the 90s are more common, but they are not the ones they see now.

This wooden door is actually painted with black lacquer, and the black lacquer is already very mottled, and it looks very old. The glass on the door could not see the scene inside, because the glass was covered with a white cloth. There is also a wooden sign painted on a black background on the door in the middle, and the words "no taboos" are written in red paint. To be honest, it's not very good. But the red paint was as red as blood.

There is a feeling of waiting to be dried and dripping with blood.
