Chapter 27: Blood and Tears

When Xiao Cui ran down from the second floor just now, she also met a few guests, most of whom asked what was going on with the screaming just now. With a little horror on his face, he packed his things and went out after asking, and none of them even planned to settle the bill. Just kidding, when you encounter this kind of thing at dinner, who is happy to check out.

Although Xiao Cui didn't know what the scream was just now, she had a guess in her heart. Before she came to work here, she wondered why the salary in this restaurant was several times higher than that of other hotels. When she came, she asked the other waiters and chefs about the housekeepers.

The cooks and stewards here are old-timers, and it is said that they have been working here for several months, they looked at Xiao Cui's thin body, shook their heads, and said, "Girl, let's leave today after you finish it, you won't stay here for long, it's not suitable for you." ”

Xiaocui's mind was full of question marks, and she wanted to ask what was going on. But people don't say it, only say that the boss said it, and don't let these things be nonsense in front of the new employees, otherwise they will scare people away and deduct their money. When Xiao Cui heard this, she was even more puzzled, what is it that can scare people away?

Later, Xiaocui was even more surprised to find that in this store, all the old employees who have worked for more than three days, whether they are waiters, stewards or others, are all five big and three thick, and they are very bold at first glance, and in their village, they can go up the mountain to hunt.

This made Xiaocui even more puzzled, although she had not been in the city for a long time, she also knew that most of the waiters in this hotel were young and beautiful girls. Why is this hotel so weird, and they all choose this kind of big man? With doubts in her heart, Xiaocui became even more empty-hearted, and she was in a trance all night, wondering what ulterior secrets there were in this store.

It was at this time that she heard the terrible scream. Maybe the people in the city have received higher education and don't particularly believe in this kind of strange and chaotic thing, but a girl from the countryside like her is different. She had grown up listening to these things, and they had always believed in such ghosts and gods.

Xiaocui was stupid at the time, and she took her luggage and was about to run away. I can't even take care of the day's wages. I met a few guests on the way, explained a few words, and was tripped for some time, only then did I meet Li Xiruo and the three of them, and I was pulled by Li Xiruo.

Xiao Cui looked Li Xiruo up and down with a strange look before saying, "Didn't you hear that ghost scream just now?" Still eating osmanthus cake? Run, don't you want to die? After that, she was going to shake off Li Xiruo's hand and run out, she didn't want to stay in this kind of haunted place for a moment.

Li Xiruo's hand strength is naturally not something that a little girl can break free, Xiaocui shook it twice and didn't shake Li Xiruo away, and turned around a little unhappily and said impatiently: "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Xiruo smiled and said, "I just want to try the osmanthus cake in the store, why don't you send me to the kitchen to get it?" Don't worry, this ghost cry is just a means to attract guests, otherwise you see where there are ghosts here, where are people injured and killed by ghosts? ”

Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully for a while, it seemed that she had never heard of anyone injured or killed in this store. When she was in the village, she had heard of hauntings and the like, but most of them were dead or something. Those ghosts come out to hurt people, otherwise they have nothing to do with going out for a walk?

It's just that when she thought of the attitude of the manager and chef in the store, Xiao Cui shook her head again, the attitude of the people in this store is too strange, and it doesn't look like it's just trying to attract customers. Xiaocui still has a sick father and a younger brother who is waiting to pay the tuition fees at home, and she depends on her part-time work to support her, but she can't get involved in the slightest danger, otherwise she will have an accident and the family will have no way to live.

"I'm quitting, you can find someone else to take you to the kitchen." After Xiao Cui said this, she stared at Li Xiruo's hand, hoping that Li Xiruo could let go of herself.

Li Xiruo looked at Xiao Cui's face, and suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth: "A thousand yuan, you send me to the kitchen to get osmanthus cake, and I will give you a thousand yuan." ”

"What?" Xiao Cui raised her head and looked at Li Xiruo in surprise. I thought to myself that this woman is not crazy, right? If you're not afraid of ghosts, forget it, and give yourself a thousand yuan for this errand just to eat a piece of osmanthus cake.

Don't say that Xiaocui was surprised, even Xu Lu and Chen Jiaqi behind Li Xiruo also thought that Li Xiruo was really crazy, wasn't it just a pastry? As for this? A thousand dollars, it's a ruin to the extreme.

Chen Jiaqi even said directly: "Xiruo, are you crazy?" A thousand dollars......"

Li Xiruo directly interrupted Chen Jiaqi's words and looked at Xiaocui and said, "How is it?" A thousand bucks to take me to the kitchen. As he spoke, he let go of the hand that was holding Xiao Cui, took out his wallet from the bag he was carrying, and pulled out ten big red bills in front of Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui's eyes turned red when she saw the ten big red bills. Xiaocui's family is dependent on farming for a living, and people who grew up in the city may not imagine that this kind of peasant who really comes out of the poor mountainous areas to eat on the land has a pitiful income, and the family farms the land, and the grain harvested after deducting the rations they need to eat is pitiful, and the income is at most two or three thousand yuan a year. This 1,000 yuan is already half a year's income for their family.

At the beginning, Xiaocui wanted to come out to work because she heard from people who came out to work in the village that she could earn almost 2,000 yuan a month by serving dishes to people in the city. Xiaocui's eyes lit up at that time, two thousand yuan, enough to pay for his father's medicine and his younger brother's tuition. Xiaocui's younger brother has a smart brain and does well in school, so it would be a pity if he dropped out. Xiaocui has always looked forward to giving her younger brother out, so that their family can also have a college student, and change the fate of the family.

Xiaocui didn't want to find the first job she was so troubled, and she didn't get a penny for a day of hard work. Originally, this hotel was for food and lodging, but now that she has left, she doesn't even have a place to stay at night. And where to find a job tomorrow is a problem, it is false to say that you don't worry, but compared with saving your life, you can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Now just a trip to the kitchen, Li Xiruo is willing to give himself a thousand yuan, not only his next living expenses have been settled, but also a part of it can be sent back to the family, the younger brother's tuition for this semester has not yet been settled, and his father's medicine money is also temporarily borrowed from relatives.

The interests are moving, Xiao Cui hesitated for a long time and then looked up and said, "I'll take you to the kitchen to get pastries, you will really give me a thousand yuan, and you won't go back?" ”

Li Xiruo hooked the corners of her lips, smiled slightly, and put the money in her hand into Xiaocui's hand: "You have been a waiter for a day, you should also know the consumption situation of the box here, can I spend so much money to eat, and I can't afford to give a reward of 1,000 yuan?" ”

Li Xiruo used to follow the royal family, and she was never soft on rewarding her subordinates, and she has never been short of money since she followed her master. In the past, I was constrained because I didn't have money in my body now, but now that I have money, I will naturally not be soft when I spend money.

Chen Jiaqi scolded Li Xiruo behind her back, why didn't she see that Li Xiruo had the potential to be such a loser before. Although they are all considered the second generation of the rich, they are just running a small company at home, and they are absolutely incomparable with the kind of rich people who are there, but they are eating in a small restaurant, and they even learn to tip, and as soon as they make a move, it is a thousand yuan, Chen Jiaqi suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for Li Wan to scold Li Xi if he lost money.

Xu Lu saw some clues from Li Xiruo's aura of spending a lot of money, and she felt that Li Xiruo must have spent a lot of money like this in the past. It's just that Li Xiruo in her memory is not like this, although Li Xiruo is not short of money in her hands, but Li Wan doesn't like their mother and daughter, and the money given to them is not too much, Li Xiruo doesn't have that much money at all, and squanders it like this.

So where did her habit come from?

Xu Lu is a smart person, she knows that she shouldn't ask things that shouldn't be asked. Regardless of whether Li Xiruo who is in front of her now or is not the Li Xiruo she knows, she can't talk too much.

Xiao Cui stretched out his hand and took Li Xiruo's 1,000 yuan, carefully folded the money in half, folded it in half, and then put it in his pocket, fastened the button, and then raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to the kitchen." ”

Xiao Cui, who received the money, was in a good mood, and took the lead in the direction of the kitchen, as if she had forgotten what the ghost screamed just now. looks like he has money and everything is enough. Li Xiruo couldn't help laughing, no wonder people say that people die for money, birds die for food, this little girl knows that this restaurant is abnormal and dangerous, and she even cares about her life for a thousand yuan.

Xiaocui walked to the kitchen door first, and shouted inside: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, the osmanthus cake that the guest ordered just now ......"

Li Xiruo and a few people followed behind Xiao Cui, and when they saw Xiao Cui walking to the kitchen door, the words stopped abruptly, and then his face suddenly turned pale, and the whole person trembled.

Li Xiruo's eyes sank when he saw this, he took two quick steps, walked to Xiaocui's side and looked into the kitchen, only to see a young woman in a bright red dress standing in the kitchen, with a big belly of about eight or nine months, but a pair of white legs were full of blood, looking indescribably infiltrating.

When the young woman saw Li Xiruo, she suddenly cried for some reason, tears flowed out of a pair of eyes, it turned out to be bright red blood, and two lines of bloody tears snaked down her cheeks, so that even Li Xiruo, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but tremble, this young woman looked really infiltrating.

Xu Lu and Chen Jiaqi saw the reaction of the two of them, and they dared to go over to see it, and they couldn't wait to run away. Chen Jiaqi even began to retreat, but fortunately, Xu Lu still had some remaining sanity, and grabbed Chen Jiaqi who was retreating, Xu Lu knew that no matter where he ran, it was not as safe as being by Li Xiruo's side.
