Chapter 293: Xue Jianing
It seems that this hot pot restaurant is mainly to raise a group of hungry ghosts, of course, it is also willing to provide convenience for some lonely souls and ghosts who have appeals in their hearts, if it was just to store hungry ghosts, I would not have seen Master in the first place.
I thought that if I came to the hot pot restaurant again this time, I would be able to see Master again, but now it seems that the people I saw in this hot pot were random, and Master also said at the time that someone on his side was monitoring him, so he is being monitored again.
"Can you take me to find the female ghost in the photo first?" I asked.
The starving ghost asked, "Didn't you go to see the steward at the check-in office first?" ”
"No, find the female ghost first."
"Hmm."
"Eat."
"Hmm."
The Hungry Man ate slowly, and I could see that he was apprehensive in my presence, so I said, "Eat quickly." ”
Only then did he reveal the greedy eating appearance of the hungry ghost, and this nonsensical eating appearance of Haisai was really flattering, and people like me who had seen all kinds of scenes could not bear to continue watching it.
But ugly is ugly, the efficiency is still very high, and in less than ten minutes, 20 kneeling ate all the dishes on the table, and there were no bones left.
When he had eaten his fill, the starving ghost lay down on a chair and shaved his teeth comfortably.
Seeing his satisfied appearance, I couldn't help but ask, "Hey, I think you should be satisfied, why don't you go to reincarnation?" ”
Ghosts are so simple, as long as their wishes are fulfilled, they can immediately go to reincarnation and no longer stay in the world.
But the starving man had eaten twice, and at each time I saw his expression of contentment, but he still sat in front of me, and had not died.
The Starving Ghost said, "There was no hiccup. We starve to death when ghosts die, so it is our long-cherished wish to eat after becoming ghosts, and every time we eat, it is a very happy thing for us, but we still never have enough to eat. You look at me now with a satisfied expression, but in fact I don't feel full, just have the happiness of eating. The only criterion by which we starving ghosts are fed is hiccups. ”
At this point, the Hungry Man said sadly, "I've eaten hard, but I've never had a hiccups, and I don't know when I'll be able to burp ......."
I bowed my head in silence, I didn't want to say anything more at this time, whether it was comfort or reasoning, it was of little use to the poor starving ghost.
The only thing I can do is for him to enjoy this temporary bliss.
The Hungry Ghost ate and digested quickly, and in a few minutes, he could finish the large table of dishes.
Sure enough, this "happiness" lasted less than 3 minutes, and the starving ghost's face re-revealed the pain of hunger.
The ghost is like this, constantly repeating the pain before death.
I called the waiter, settled the bill, and went out with the starving ghost.
When I went out, it was my turn to take the hungry ghost away.
The ghost was afraid of the sun, so he had to stick to the wall and follow the shadows of the eaves.
He led me into a nearby alley, and as soon as I entered, I saw a long-haired woman in white standing in the shadows with her head bowed, her long hair covering her face, making it impossible for me to discern whether she was the female ghost I was looking for.
So I tried to call her: "Xue Jianing!" ”
The woman heard my voice and subconsciously looked up at me.
As soon as I looked up, I recognized that this was the female ghost I was looking for!
If you want to find out the truth, finding the owner of the store is a channel, but the fastest way is to find Xue Jianing!
But what I didn't expect was that after Xue Jianing saw me, she turned around and ran!
"Wait!" I just wanted to chase after it, but Xue Jianing was already clinging to the crack in the wall and disappeared in an instant.
When I rushed to the foot of the wall, I was helpless, there was no way, I was a human being, and people couldn't get into the cracks in the wall, which was also the limitation of human beings.
I sulked in the corner, and that's when the starving ghost came to me, and I looked at him, grabbed him, and tried to shove him into the wall.
"Well, what do you want to do!" The Hungry Man cried out in struggle.
I said, "You're a ghost, can you do me a favor and go in and get that female ghost back for me?" ”
The starving ghost shouted, "Don't do this, you can't catch up!" That female ghost is running fast, and it's really impossible for an unfed ghost like me to catch up? ”
I asked helplessly, "Really can't catch up?" ”
"Can't catch up!"
I had no choice but to let him go and ask him, "Is there any other way you can find that female ghost?" ”
The Starving Man shook his head.
I asked, "Why did she run away when she saw me?" ”
The starving ghost said, "People are cowardly, and you look so fierce that a ghost will run away when he sees you." ”
I'm dizzy!
"Am I vicious? Are you kidding me? I said speechlessly.
The starving ghost said, "Uncle, you are indeed talented, and even a woman will like you." But that's a woman, not a ghost! Uncle, you should know that cultivators will have a smell of cultivation on their bodies, and this smell can be good or evil. But the smell of your body is so pure and upright that no ghost will dare to approach you when he sees it. In this way, in the eyes of our ghosts, aren't you fierce and evil? The timid female ghost just now should have been scared away by your righteousness! ”
I have nothing to say about these words.
I asked the starving ghost, "What time does that female ghost appear here every day waiting for someone?" ”
The Hungry Man said, "She's always waiting here for someone, and as long as the person she's waiting for is in her sight, she'll follow." Now that you've scared her away, I'm afraid she's not going to come back. ”
"Then there's no way she's going to get too far out of here, right?"
"Probably not, because she still has to wait."
"Okay, you can help me keep an eye on the neighborhood, and you will contact me whenever she appears." I shoved a business card into his hand and said to him, "Just burn the card and I'll come right away." ”
The starving ghost took the business card and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, aren't you, aren't you embarrassing me?" I haven't had enough to eat at all, so where can I have the strength to help you do things? ”
I said, "When you're done with this, I'll treat you to a big meal until you've burped!" ”
"Really?" The starving ghost's eyes lit up immediately.
I nodded, "Really." ”
The Hungry Man said, "But you have to think clearly, it's not so easy to feed a Hungry Ghost, I'm worried about your wallet ......"
"You don't have to worry about that."
The Hungry Man said gratefully, "Ever since I became a Hungry Ghost, no one has been willing to invite me to eat, let alone someone who has been willing to invite me to eat until I have a full burp!" You're the first person to talk to me like that, and I'm willing to do anything for you! Don't worry, the next time I see that female ghost, no matter what, I will definitely let her meet you! ”
"Okay."
"But why do you have to see that female ghost?" The Starving Ghost asked.
I thought about it, the female ghost was so timid, it was impossible for her to meet me, so I still had to show some trump cards, so I said to the starving ghost: "I came to her for a man named Zhang Qixin." When you saw her, tell her that if you want to know Zhang Qixin's whereabouts, just meet with me. ”
The starving ghost asked, "Zhang Qixin is the one who took her to eat hot pot, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll tell her for you. That female ghost waits for that man here every day, and her obsession is so deep that she will definitely meet you for him. ”
I nodded, that's it.
Now it seems that I can't catch Xue Jianing for the time being, so I can only change directions first: "Now, you can only take me to meet the person at the sign-in desk." ”
"Hmm." Now the starving ghost is very loyal to me, and he is getting more and more active.
He took me around to the back of the hot pot restaurant, I thought I was going to enter through the back door, but what I didn't expect was that he took me around to the dog hole on the side.
He pointed to the fist-sized dog hole and told me that this was the hole they had entered the hot pot restaurant, and that the person in charge of the check-in was at the other end of the dog hole, and he could be seen when he went over.
Me: "......"
