Chapter 2: The Shop That Never Turns Off the Lights
The car was quickly moving, and the road was empty late at night. Cheng Yang tilted his head and looked at the street lamp, this street he had walked countless times, and suddenly the car stopped.
"Here we are." The middle-aged man in a suit said.
Cheng Yang looked around, but he didn't see anything different. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes pushed Cheng Yang and strolled towards the alley. The alleys are deep, and the walls around them are covered with moss from the long dampness, but the floor is very dry and clean.
There will be a flickering light in the alley every once in a while, and I don't know if it's due to voltage problems. There was a black shadow standing not far from Cheng Yang's position, and the black shadow seemed to be smiling at Cheng Yang, looking at Cheng Yang's heart.
"Don't be afraid." The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes patted Cheng Yang's shoulder and said.
"That'...... What is that? Cheng Yang asked in an incomplete voice.
"Just a madman."
When the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes pushed Cheng Yang through the dark shadow, Cheng Yang saw the other party clearly, and the tattered clothes and the white cheeks formed a stark contrast. But looking closely, the other party's consciousness was dumbfounded and his spirit was slightly low, but the smile on his face was very real.
Just when Cheng Yang passed by the other party, the other party's face changed, and Cheng Yang saw the sarcasm and fear in the other party's smile, what the hell is going on.
It didn't take long for Cheng Yang to stop at the door of a store that had already closed.
"This is it." The middle-aged man in a suit said and took out a bill of goods and pasted it on his wheelchair. "Wait here yourself, I've sent you." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Cheng Yang was in a hurry at this time, and kept shouting at the other party, but the other party still left. The impatient Cheng Yang used all his strength to push the wheelchair with his hands, but his weak strength couldn't push his heavy body at all.
Just when his spirit was about to collapse, the door of the shop opposite Cheng Yang suddenly opened, and the moment the door opened, a black shadow ran out of it.
Cheng Yang was so frightened that the black shadow suddenly stopped 1 meter in front of Cheng Yang, and Cheng Yang saw clearly what it was, a pure black cat.
The black cat was looking at Cheng Yang, and it felt like it was looking at whether the food was normal. Cheng Yang also looked at the black cat, but he didn't see anything.
Just as the cats and the others were looking at each other, a seemingly thin man who came out of the house immediately said, "Gu Cheng, go back." After hearing the words, the cat quickly disappeared in front of Cheng Yang.
Seeing Gu Cheng return to the store, the thin man bowed to Cheng Yang and said, "I'm sorry, Gu Cheng is not like this usual. ”
"It's okay, can you help me contact my friend to pick me up?" When Cheng Yang spoke, try to make himself speak clearly.
The seemingly thin man smiled and said, "Why are you looking for someone to pick you up, I'm the one who is here to pick you up." Don't talk yet, recover well, and rest here tonight. ”
Cheng Yang knew that the plan to let Feng Chun take over him had failed, but Cheng Yang himself also wanted to know who was manipulating these things, why he suddenly fell to the ground, and he was sure that maybe the thin man in front of him would have the answer.
The thin man pushed Cheng Yang and said as he walked: "My name is Mo Li, I am the keeper of this store, and the owner of this store disappeared a month ago. Three weeks after the previous owner disappeared, I received a letter saying that the previous owner of the store had given it to you, and that you were already the manager of the store. I don't know what happened, but you got here on the date in the letter. ”
Entering the store, Cheng Yang couldn't see anything clearly in the dark room, but as if Mo Li could see the surroundings clearly, he said as he walked: "The weather is still quite hot, the cool room is ready, your body can return to normal after a few days of rest, as for the problem of the wheelchair, I don't have any good solutions for the time being, but you can call me at any time if necessary." ”
Originally, Cheng Yang thought that this shop was very small, but when Mo Li led him through a door, Cheng Yang was stupid. On the other side of the door is a huge garden, which feels like another world, and the outside is completely different. Gu Cheng was lying on his stomach on the pavilion in the middle of the garden, his eyes seemed to have a penetrating power, and he could see through Cheng Yang's heart at any time.
After resting for a few days, Cheng Yang no longer needed Mo Li to push himself around, and Mo Li also ground the steps around him into an inclined angle with cement, which could facilitate Cheng Yang to enter each room at any time.
This morning was the last check-up, and Cheng Yang had been waiting for the arrival of the doctor in the garden, but what Cheng Yang didn't understand was why the doctors who came here every day were different.
"Boss, the doctor has arrived." Mo Li said and a doctor followed behind him.
Cheng Yang has become accustomed to Mo Li calling himself boss these days, because no matter what he says, Mo Li will reply to him with a bunch of words.
The doctor checked it and said, "Boss Cheng's body is basically fine, and he will be able to speak normally after resting for a while." ”
"Great, thank you, doctor." Mo Li said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's all what I should do, since Boss Cheng doesn't have anything to do, I'll leave first." As he spoke, the doctor put away his things and walked outside.
Mo Li came back after seeing off the doctor and said, "Boss, our shop hasn't been open for a long time, and you said we should open tonight." ”
"I don't know what we do yet, you tell me." Cheng Yang couldn't help but ask.
"We're just an ordinary consultation shop, I'll show you around the store." As he spoke, Mo Li pushed Cheng Yang's wheelchair and walked towards the store.
Speaking of which, Cheng Yang is still quite puzzled, at the beginning Cheng Yang came to the store to see, personally it felt like a café, where the coffee-making instruments and various coffee beans were neatly placed, but Cheng Yang didn't understand why the tables and chairs here were all alone.
When he came to the store, Mo Li said: "Boss, don't look at so many tables in our store, in fact, we don't charge for coffee here." I read your information, you are a consultant, and there are often people in our store who come to consult, so you just need to receive those who come for consultation. ”
"It's as simple as that?" Cheng Yang asked in disbelief.
"Yes, we've always been like that, but maybe a little different from the outside store, we're only open at night." As he spoke, Mo Li smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Late at night, the lights are lit up again outside this unsignboarded store, and the world is often so lonely at night.
