Chapter 18 Pork Shop

The door was suddenly blown open by the howling wind, the chandelier on the ceiling was blown crumblingly, and the dust fell like snowflakes, and I was about to get up and close the door, but suddenly a man ran in, he was in his beard, about thirty years old, he looked at me and smiled at me.

It's a bit like a northerner, and I smiled at him back, and when he sat down, he rubbed his hands, and I motioned for him to start.

My name is Xu Zheng, I am two years old today, I am Chinese New Year's Eve from Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, the weather is a little cold, I can't help but wrap my shirt, the light is a little dim, flashing and flashing, I raised my eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, ten fifty o'clock.

Normally the street was noisy at this point, but now I sat in this humble pork shop and looked out, and the street was empty and deserted.

Look at the store again, except for the sound of flying insects hitting the light bulb, there is only the sound of sniffing, and in the upper left corner there are two couples who look like high school students, and the boy has just put his coat on the girl's body, but it can be seen that he is also quite cold.

In the upper right corner sat a bald uncle with a red face and the smell of wine, when I first entered the store, the uncle just sat down, and soon the little couple also came in, and they all ordered a bowl of pork soup and never spoke again, only the little couple chatted in a low voice, and the store was still very quiet.

Oh, no, there is no noise in the store except for the constant sound of chopping meat from the kitchen, but the strange thing is that I heard the sound of non-stop chopping meat when I first entered the store, and the uncle didn't order at that time, I don't know how the boss knew that there would be customers.

We shouted to the kitchen as we thought of the menu, and the boss didn't respond, just stopped for a moment, followed by a non-stop chopping sound, which was heart-wrenching.

Time passed, and no customers ever stepped into this pork shop again, and we all knew why, there were no people or open shops on this street except for us.

At this time, the old radio placed on the cabinet dripped and a shrill female voice came from inside, and then the uncle stopped smoking, the couple stopped whispering, we all opened our ears, and even the chopping of meat in the kitchen stopped.

The sound of the radio gradually became clear, broadcasting a news that I have heard many times, here is a notice, in recent days, there have been frequent disappearances in the local area, most of the missing people are out at night, and most of the missing time is around eleven o'clock, the local police are making every effort to solve the case, and it is recommended that the shops in each street close before eleven o'clock in the evening, and people try to avoid going out after eleven o'clock, and the notice will be broadcast again, recently.....

The sound of the radio became faint again, echoing throughout the shop and in the streets outside, making people feel a little uneasy to hear, as if the kidnapper was also listening nearby, squeak! I looked up, and the drunken bald uncle turned off the radio and staggered to my seat and sat across from me.

He looked at me drunkenly, opened his mouth, and a smell of wine greeted him, "Boy, it's almost eleven o'clock, and you haven't gone home yet, what are you doing here, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

I said, "It's delayed because of some things, it's too cold and there is no one on the road, it's weird and gloomy, it just happens that there is a shop here that is not closed, just come in and warm up." ”

"Oh." He nodded thoughtfully and turned around, "What about you, those two little ghosts?" ”

"Same, same!" The girl spoke, "It's not that you insist on coming, saying that you want to arrest the traffickers, and you insist on pulling me." The boy said dissatisfied.

"Oops!" The girl pouted, "What's there to be afraid of, how fun, besides, you're my boyfriend, of course you're going to protect me!" ”

"Humph!" The boy stopped talking, tilted his head to the side, and glanced out into the street, where the sound of chopping meat in the kitchen had long since stopped, and the sound of boiling water was heard, and a smell came out.

The bald man suddenly smiled, "Have you ever heard such a story?" Once upon a time there was a woodcutter who made a living by chopping wood, and he had a son, and one day his son ran out to play, and he didn't come back at night, so the woodcutter went to look for the place where his son played, and he never found it, and there happened to be a pork shop nearby, and he thought that his son liked to drink pork soup the most, so he went into the shop to see.

There was only one boss in the store, he was a little disappointed, but for some reason he smelled the fragrant pork soup and wanted to eat it, so he ordered a bowl, this pork is exceptionally delicious, but he ate to the end, he actually ate a little finger, a child's little finger, then he raised his head, the boss clicked the door shut, holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, looking at him and smiling, "The pork shop is closed, and now the human flesh shop is open!" ””

The atmosphere in the shop was a little strange, and the bald man kept staring at us after speaking, "Boring! The girl rolled her eyes and stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Where are you going?" The boy scrambled to his feet.

"Why do you want to come with you when you go to the bathroom?" The girl snorted and went into the kitchen, and the boy sat back slowly, a little frightened.

"Hahaha, look at what scares you, hahaha......" The bald man laughed and lay on the table and gradually lost his voice, at this time the boss walked out, holding four bowls of fragrant pork soup, the boss has a big waist and a round face, and he is a little afraid to look directly.

I looked at the pork soup in front of me and frowned, "Boss, your meat is not ordinary pork, right?" ”

The boss glanced at me and nodded, "Wild boar cub, just born." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen, but the girl never came out, and then there was a sound of chopping meat in the kitchen, but there were no more guests, and the sound of chopping meat was gradually unsettling.

The boy couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up and walked towards the kitchen, shouting the girl's name from his mouth, and I slowly put the soup down and looked up at the clock, where the second hand began to count down.

Click, click! Clang! Clang! It was eleven o'clock, and the old wall clock made a piercing sound on the hour, "Ahem, fool, fool, pork is as delicious as human flesh." The bald man at the table frowned and muttered, then turned his head again and lost his voice.

I bowed my head in silence, the atmosphere around me became more and more suffocating, I got up and walked towards the door, "It's eleven o'clock, it's time to go home." ”

But suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing beside me, blowing my clothes up, revealing the shiny pig-killing knife on my waist, I raised my head and smiled weirdly, "Yes, pork is delicious."

I grabbed the curtain with both hands, "The pork shop is closed, and now" the moonlight is shining on my hideous face "The human flesh shop is open!" "Bang! The door is brushed shut.

End

I looked up at the bearded man opposite, his calm face was now full of hideousness, and I was glad to see such a perverted murderer here, because then there would be one less sinful soul in the world.

Without waiting for him to leave, I picked up the seal and stamped it, his eyes were instantly empty, the whole person looked sluggish, as if he didn't remember where this was at all, I smiled and pointed to the door to him, he walked towards the door ignorantly, after going out, he could be reincarnated, I don't want him to become a chicken, duck, pig and dog, I only hope he can become a kind person.

I picked up my pen and wrote the title at the top of the story - pork shop
