Chapter 447: Renovation
Wang Haitang nodded happily and told me that she would get up early tomorrow morning and call me, and then I would take her out to buy books.
I lay on the bed and carefully sorted out what had happened in the past few days, making sure that there were no mistakes, and then I closed my eyes with peace of mind.
I woke up in the morning to find that it was almost 10 o'clock, and I forgot to set the alarm clock last night, so I quickly put on my clothes and went out of the bedroom, and immediately smelled a fragrance wafting from the kitchen.
I walked into the kitchen suspiciously, Wang Haitang was wearing an apron and making breakfast, she looked back at me and smiled and said, "Cousin, you're up, wait a while, breakfast will be ready soon." ”
I couldn't believe my eyes and ears, she seemed to be back to her previous state, but I was really scared that it was just a flash in the pan.
"Why don't you call me, it's almost 10 o'clock."
"I see that you slept soundly, so I didn't bother you, you can go whenever you buy books." She said these words very intimately and gave me a very warm smile.
I left the kitchen in a fog and went to the bathroom to wash up, I kept thinking about what was going on with her, her attitude was not particularly good last night, could it be because I promised her to go to work at the bar, and also took her out to buy books, so she was in a good mood, willing to talk to me, and made me breakfast?
Over breakfast, I talked to her about the latest events, but as soon as I mentioned her coma, she immediately began to change the subject, and although she didn't show much resistance or anger, I knew that she was deliberately avoiding my questioning.
After breakfast, I drove her out of the door, and she looked very excited all the way looking at the scenery outside the car window.
"You've been at home for so many days, and now you're finally out, don't you feel happy?" I asked with a smile.
She nodded, "Yes, that's why I proposed that I go to work in a bar, I can't stay at home anymore, I'm really going to be a youkai." ”
The word "monster" was actually just an adjective she said unintentionally, but my heart couldn't help but tense a little.
She seemed to sense my unnaturalness, and she explained with a smile, "I mean I have become a strange creature who can't think or do things, only eats and drinks Lazar, don't we all call this kind of man-made monster goblin in the countryside?" Don't think about it, I don't mean anything else. ”
I pulled the corners of my mouth in embarrassment, "Of course I know, you will never become that kind of person, you have to live happily, no matter what happened before, you don't have to think about it again." ”
What she just said seemed to comfort me, but it seemed to be a naked provocation, and every time she said something strange about me or made a special move, I would start to think about it, and it had become a habit now.
But I didn't know how to take that step to get the truth out directly.
When I arrived at the door of the bookstore, I found that the bookstore was being renovated, several workers were busy inside, all the books had been moved, and the bookcases and shelves were gone, and there were some materials used in the decoration.
"Is this being renovated?" Wang Haitang frowned and asked.
"It should be, I'll go in and ask when it's okay." I walked into the dusty bookstore, and the smell of various decoration materials in it immediately made me cough.
A worker wearing a mask walked over and said, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"When will the bookstore be renovated?" I'm here to buy books. I replied with a smile.
"The renovation will only take two or three days, but it depends on when the owner of the bookstore opens, so you have to ask him."
"Can you give me a boss's phone number? I wanted to ask when he would be able to open and I was waiting to buy the book.
”
Although I have been in contact with Ma Yuan so many times, I have not left his contact information, and suddenly I can't find this person anymore, but it seems that I have completely lost contact, and I feel like a kite with a broken string.
Unexpectedly, the worker shook his head, "I don't have his phone number, our side is the work undertaken by the decoration company, and we don't leave the owner's phone number." ”
"Then can you help me ask the renovation company, I do want his number, no way, I'm going to go out in a few days, I plan to buy a few books to take away." I lied with a laugh.
The worker was kind, although he said that he was a little unhappy, but he still took out his mobile phone and called the decoration company.
Because the decoration was very loud, I didn't hear what was being said on the phone, but judging from his expression and words, he didn't ask for Ma Yuan's phone number.
Sure enough, the worker hung up the phone and shook his head at me, "The renovation company doesn't have his number either." ”
"That's really strange, how did he contact the renovation company, doesn't there need to be a phone call?" I asked curiously.
"The renovation company said that he was just looking for a decoration company to decorate the bookstore for him, and the design drawings were also provided by him, and he paid all the money at once, asking us to complete it within a week, and he didn't mention the other requirements, so he didn't leave a number."
I was shocked, but this is also Ma Yuan's regular operation, he is originally a mysterious person, he easily leaves his mobile phone number to others, it is too unlike him.
I thanked the workers and walked out of the bookstore, Wang Haitang stood at the bottom of the steps outside and waited for me, and when she saw me come out, she immediately frowned and greeted me, "When will the boss open, or will his bookstore not open?" ”
"How so? It's just a decoration, and the bookstore will open after the renovation, or I'll take you to another bookstore to buy a few books! ”
Wang Haitang immediately shook his head, "Forget it, when he opens the door, you can bring me over to buy it!" ”
"Why? You can also buy the kind of girls you like to read in other bookstores, or if he doesn't open the door these days, you won't have any books to read. ”
Wang Haitang still shook his head resolutely, "You said that his bookstore is very interesting, then I still want to buy it in his bookstore, no matter when he opens, I will wait, I can do other things in the next few days." ”
After saying that, Wang Haitang turned around and got straight into the car, as if there was no room for me to negotiate, I wondered in my heart, why was she so persistent about Ma Yuan's bookstore, it was really just because I told her that this bookstore was very interesting, and she also bought such a special picture album from there?
I didn't get a book, so I drove her back.
All day long, my heart was a little messed up by this matter, Ma Yuan's bookstore had not been open for a long time, and the decoration inside was nothing to be redone, and it was a design drawing provided by himself, why did he do this?
And Wang Haitang, why is she reluctant to go to other bookstores to buy books, and what is the relationship between her and Molu Bookstore?
A series of clouds rolled in my mind, but I couldn't find my thoughts, and I felt a feeling of headache and discomfort.
Sending her home, I was on the way to the hotel, and when I was waiting for the traffic light, I suddenly remembered that this intersection turned to the side, and soon arrived at Xue Xiaxia's law firm, so should I go to see her?
I haven't called her since the oolong incident that day, and she hasn't contacted me, but I think if I go to see her now, I will pull some ethereal things more clearly, or not.
I restrained the strange restlessness in my heart, stepped on the accelerator and headed straight for the hotel.
It was another long, lonely night.
I once read a book that said that dreams are the loneliest because no one can be with you, and it is true.
In a daze, I came to a lively market again, there were many people around, but they didn't pay attention to me, they were busy buying groceries, and the crowds passed me by, and I just stood where I was, and I tried to take a step forward, but I couldn't exert any strength, and I couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, I saw a man in a mantle and hat standing in the crowd not far ahead, he was facing me sideways, he was slightly bent over, and an iron basin was placed in front of him, and a few small thumb-thick fish could be seen in the basin, swimming happily in the water.
It's that fish freak again!
I was so excited that I tried my best to run in that direction, but I couldn't move, it felt like I had been thrown into the depths, and the pressure was so great that I couldn't stretch my limbs and swim a little bit forward.
And the eel-fish freak stood there motionless, habitually bent slightly, and passers-by kept passing by me, but he seemed to be fixed there, and never moved half a step.
He seemed to be provoking me, "You have the ability to come and catch me." ”
Is this Wang Haitang's father?
"Uncle!" Those two words came out of my throat, and I broke free from the dream in an instant.
I sat up and reached out to touch my chest, neck and forehead, and there was a thin layer of cold sweat.
I turned on the bedside lamp and took my phone to look, and now at 5:13, I actually dreamed of the fish seller again, is that a sign that something is happening again?
Today is the day of the bar's opening, and at this juncture, the devil is on the move again?
I immediately checked the one under my pillow, the soul chasing charm corresponding to Mrs. Qian's amulet, there was nothing abnormal, so Mrs. Qian is safe for the time being.
According to my previous calculations, in the next two days, she will encounter an accident, and the demon will attack her.
If the other party is making a noise, then I don't need to waste more time at the opening ceremony, I can leave if there is no abnormality after the ribbon cutting, and leave everything to Zhao Heizi to take care of.
