Nine o'clock in the evening is a good time to drink porridge to cleanse the intestines, but there are no guests in the cubicle to drink porridge.

Looking at the black sewage stained on the upper of my shoes, I finally knew the reason why there were no customers, even though this porridge shop has a poetic name, but there are so many health hazards that no one dares to risk their lives.

There were no guests drinking porridge, but the compartment was filled with steam, and it was clear that someone was cooking porridge.

Through the steaming steam, I looked to the end of the compartment.

At the end of the compartment was a stove, and on the stove was a porcelain pot, which had been blackened by the fire, as if it were about to shatter to ashes.

At this moment, the porcelain pot was not covered, and a spoon was put into the porcelain pot to stir the sticky porridge in the porcelain pot.

The spoon was held by a wizened hand, and I looked along it and saw an old man squatting by the fire.

This wizened hand is the right hand of this old man.

The old man, dressed in a loose red robe, was looking intently at the porridge in the porcelain pot, and as he watched, black snot flowed out.

These black snot splashed into the porcelain pot and merged with the piping hot porridge.

Seeing this scene, I almost gagged, no wonder no one patronized such porridge.

However, I didn't focus on the porridge, but looked at the red robe on the old man's body, and muttered suspiciously: "This old man's face is withered, and he is estimated to be seventy years old, how can he wear such bright clothes?" ”

Most of the Chinese old people are dressed plainly and plainly, and only on the day of death will they wear red robes.

Therefore, the red robe is also called the life coat of the dead.

It is very taboo for the living to wear the life clothes of the dead, so the living old people generally do not wear red robes, they think that once they wear red robes, black and white impermanence will take the opportunity to ask for their lives.

The older a person is, the more he cherishes life, and in order to prolong his life, it is understandable to believe in this kind of strange talk, but the old man in front of him does not seem to believe in evil.

Hearing the sound of my footsteps, the old man did not turn his head, but only cooked porridge wholeheartedly, as if cooking porridge was his last obsession.

The old man didn't take the initiative to solicit guests, so I had to be the first to speak: "Grandpa, give me a bowl of porridge." ”

Actually, I'm not hungry, the purpose of entering this store is to confirm what Gu Ya said, but it's a little difficult for me to say just by asking about things and ordering something.

What's more, this old man didn't want to deal with me at all, if he didn't use the porridge as an excuse, he would definitely ignore me all the time and concentrate on cooking porridge.

"If Gu Ya hadn't lied to me, this old man should have forgotten Zhang Tao." I thought to myself.

For some reason, Zhang Tao liked to patronize this porridge shop very much during his lifetime, I have seen him walk out of it many times, if this old man doesn't remember Zhang Tao, it proves that what Gu Ya said is true, people have forgotten the snake tenants, including Zhang Tao.

"Hey, why didn't this old man react?" The sound of me ordering porridge was obviously not small, but the old man by the stove did not react, as if he did not hear my voice.

"Is he a little behind his ears?" I was puzzled, but I repeated loudly: "Grandpa, give me a bowl of porridge." ”

The old man finally heard it, but he only answered with a dying voice, and still did not turn to look at me.

Although the old man did not turn to look at me, I always felt that he had a pair of eyes on his back, and those eyes were staring at me calmly.

Soon, the porridge was ready, and I sat down in a rickety chair, and I was greeted by the only table in the compartment, which was equally shabby and littered with yellowed chopsticks.

"Let's just slip away after asking about things, it's so dirty in here, and there's a strange smell." Ever since I entered this "warm porridge under the moon", I have been a little uneasy.

The old man put the porridge in a bowl, then walked towards me with the bowl in both hands.

In the process of serving the porridge, he was hunched over, and his hands were still shaking, making the porridge in the bowl tumble.

Afraid that the old man would spill the porridge, I hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously, "Grandpa, I'll come." ”

With that, I stretched out my hands and pressed them on both sides of the bowl.

As the old man had not yet withdrawn his hand, I touched his thin hands, which were very cold, as if they were covered with ice.

"The edge of the bowl is so hot, why are his hands so cold?" I was a little surprised.

Just when I was surprised, the old man withdrew his hands and looked up at me.

It was a pair of cloudy eyes, and the eyes were full of visible bloodshots.

"Thank you, little brother." The old man's shrill and thin voice sounded, and after saying this, a flush surged on his face, and he looked very excited?

"Red? Excited? Maybe it's due to the dim light. Muttering to myself, I took the bowl full of porridge and placed it on the shabby table.

The old man didn't leave, he just stood beside me, staring at me, as if urging me to drink porridge quickly.

"Do I really want to drink this bowl of porridge?" The scene of the old man splashing black snot appeared in front of me, and I felt a dull pain in my stomach.

I didn't want to drink the bowl of porridge, but the old man's gaze made me furious, so I had to raise my throat and swallow it all in one gulp.

After seeing me drink this bowl of porridge, the old man seemed very happy, he grinned his shriveled mouth and muttered to himself: "My child also likes to drink porridge, I will feed him porridge later, hehe." ”

Child? This old man is about seventy years old, and his child should be forty or fifty years old.

In the old man's words, there was a hint of weirdness, but I didn't think much about it, just when the old man used a typo, what he wanted to say should be "tell him to drink porridge", not "feed him porridge".

The old man had already spoken, and I took the opportunity to ask: "Grandpa, do you remember Zhang Tao?" He often comes to you to drink porridge, and he is thin and small. ”

"Zhang Tao? I've never met this person. The old man's cloudy eyes were confused.

Hearing this answer, I finally believed that Gu Ya didn't lie to me, everyone who had intersected with the snake people's tenants had forgotten them, and the traces of their lives had also been erased.

"Since we have confirmed that what Gu Ya said is true, let's pay for it and leave, this porridge shop is a little unusual." I secretly told myself a word, and I wanted to pay and leave.

But at this moment, the old man suddenly leaned his face close to me and asked faintly, "Little brother, you are a college student, right?" ”

I was immediately taken aback, and quickly shrank back, and after seeing the old man's face clearly, I breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa, you scared me to death, I'm a college student, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, be careful with your teacher, ha, ha, hahaha," the old man said without a word, and after he finished speaking, he laughed weirdly.

"Watch out for my teacher?" Hearing this weird laughter, I threw down a few dollars and subconsciously ran away.

The old man didn't stop me, and let me run out of the porridge shop and disappear into the night.

After composing myself a bit, I stopped and turned to look.

An endless black fog enveloped the porridge shop, making it impossible for me to see the lights clearly.

"This porridge shop is so weird, don't come here in the future." I touched my back and found that my back was covered in cold sweat, and my clothes were wet from these cold sweats.

"I don't know if there's any problem with those porridges, so let's spit them out." Having made up my mind, I plunged my fingers deep into my throat.

Whew...... Whew......

After a few vomiting sounds, I spat out a puddle of completely blackened rice porridge and fell to the ground.

Looking at the black rice porridge on the ground, I had palpitations: "Fortunately, I spit it out, and after only a few minutes of eating, this porridge actually turned black." ”

After spitting out the porridge in my stomach, I hurried away from the porridge shop, not daring to go any closer to it.

I felt like I was far away, so I opened my black backpack and pulled out the equally weird copy of the Horror Bookstore Management Code.

Looking at the "Horror Bookstore Management Code" in my hand, my face was gloomy and uncertain, sometimes with joy, sometimes with solemnity.

The reason for my joy is that after this code has helped me, I don't have to deal with police interrogation, and the disappearance of the tenant of the snake house will not attract the attention of the outside world.

The reason for the solemnity is that the ability of this code is too weird, and its aftermath method is the same as the evaporation of the parents, tampering with people's memories according to the scoop, perhaps it causes the evaporation of the parents.

"No wonder the code rewarded my bookstore on Zhang Tao's property, no one remembers Zhang Tao and others, and tampered with the snake building into my property, naturally no one doubts the correctness of the bookstore." I sighed secretly.

The snake building became my property out of thin air, and I didn't care at all: "After the evaporation of my parents, all the people who intersected with them forgot about them, and the fate of the snake tenant was exactly the same as my parents, is this a coincidence, or is it the truth in the dark?" ”

"Are my parents dead too? So the code erases their existence? "I always feel that this code is inextricably linked to the evaporation of my parents, and I can't think of anyone who has the power to tamper with people's memories out of thin air.

"Maybe it's a simple thing, it's this code that kills the parents and then erases their existence!" I suddenly hated this code, thinking that it was the one who had caused my parents' disappearance.

"The evaporation of my parents from the world is a conspiracy against me, and now I am in front of you, come on, come and kill me!" I clutched the code tightly and cursed indignantly.

At this moment, I really want to throw this code away, and end the matter.

But soon, I woke up from my indignation: "If this code is really the initiator of my parents' evaporation, how can it help me deal with the aftermath?" ”

If it doesn't help me deal with the aftermath, I'm going to face endless trouble, and if it's bad, I could end up in prison.

"Not only did it help me deal with the aftermath, but it also gave me a nine-story property out of thin air, and if it wanted to harm me, it wouldn't do anything more."

"And its ability is so powerful, it can kill me silently, and there is no need to frame my parents at all."

"It shouldn't have framed my parents, there is someone else who framed my parents, I must find him out!"

After thinking everything through, I put down this code and went straight to the snake tower to turn back.

I was in a hurry to verify the aftermath and forgot the original intention of this outing, which was to check the physical bookstore that was awarded to me.

Since this code can tamper with other people's memories out of thin air, it should also be able to quietly build a bookstore.

Thinking of this, my steps under me quickened, and I really wanted to rush back to the Snake Tower to see the mysterious physical bookstore.

However, I was only halfway through, and I suddenly remembered that I hadn't bought a light bulb yet: "It's only nine o'clock in the evening, and it's the time when the night market is thick, and the hardware store should not be closed, so I should buy the light bulb back and install it first. ”

Then I stopped and walked in the other direction.

This direction leads to a bustling streetscape night market, which is full of lights and people, and the streets near the Snake Tower are simply a receding from the north to the north.
