White Bear City, the Strange Man Inn Bar.

In front of the counter, Xu Shiying tried to mix a glass of FB2 bomber height wine, and there was a time when he became an Internet celebrity wine on a certain music platform, young people are curious, and they also love adventure, and he also wants to join in the fun in his spare time.

After graduating from college, he worked as a bartender in a midnight bar called the Strange Man Inn in White Bear City, and has been working here for nearly half a year now.

The bar deviates from the city and is 108,000 miles away from the business bustle, and the business is naturally not very good, but the boss gives a salary of not low, 6,000 yuan a month, and the working hours are from 10 o'clock in the evening to 5 o'clock in the morning. And Xu Shiying has worked for a few months, which can almost be described as a bleak business, and the boss will not lose money for such a high salary.

But the strange thing is that every day when he gets off work, a gold coin will inexplicably appear in an ordinary-looking box. Yes, you heard it right, the golden gold coins, the very pure kind, could it be that there is a thief who robs the evil and the poor and can't stand the current situation of the bar, and every day he passes by here, he will leave a gold coin?

There were many times when he couldn't help but want to ask, but was stopped by Sun Ying, a barmaid who worked with him, and later Xu Shiying learned that anyone who asked about the origin of the gold coin ended up either crazy or missing.

Some people suspect that this is the boss's doing, and the police station has also come down to investigate many times, but no evidence of the boss's crime has been found, and finally has to let it go, and about the matter of a gold coin appearing out of thin air in the store every day, the comrades who came down to investigate did not ask, and there was even a trace of nervousness and fear, and the whole thing was a little evil and weird.

Today is eleven o'clock in the evening of the weekend, debugging the FB2 bomber to the last step, the phone suddenly rang, Xu Shiying had to put down the vodka bottle and shaker in his hand, the phone was called by the boss, the old Wei who was in charge of procurement did not come to the family for leave of absence, the boss asked him to drive to the pick-up point to pick up the delivery personnel who had just come to work, and then count the goods.

Explain a few precautions, the boss took the initiative to hang up the phone, Xu Shiying looked at the watch, there was still half an hour before twelve o'clock in the morning, simply cleaned up and quickly locked the door, and went to the warehouse behind the bar to pick up the car, the car is an old-fashioned red van Wuling Light, twist the key, step on the accelerator, the engine rumbles loudly, the exhaust tube is surrounded by black smoke, and the smell is extremely choking.

This old-fashioned Wuling light maintenance is still good, Xu Shiying drove to the pick-up location, halfway the boss called together, the wind was too strong to hear what was said, he hung up the phone and called again, the phone on the other end of the prompt is not in the service area.

At this time, the car had already driven to the pick-up location, and a young man with a white baseball cap could be seen waving.

Xu Shiying slammed the steering wheel and drove over, stopped steadily less than a meter away from him, took off his seat belt and pushed the door to get out of the car, habitually glanced at his watch, and it was almost twelve o'clock in one minute.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I still let you run back and forth at night." The young man handed over a cigarette, Xu Shiying shook his head to indicate that he did not smoke, he gave up and lit one for himself, took a deep breath and spit out a huge smoke ring and continued: "My name is Wang Sen, brother, what is your name?" ”

"Xu Shiying." Xu Shiying stomped his feet, the temperature dropped rapidly in the early morning of autumn, the surroundings were empty, and the wind kept blowing on his body, freezing and verbose.

City rain, country wind.

As the old saying goes, he only wore a thin black jacket, and now he just wants to get into the car to warm up, and the young man is a person who understands and knows that the big night is not the time to chat, so he writes down each other's mobile phone numbers and chattes, and quickly gets into the car to keep warm.

After getting into the car, he rubbed his slightly frozen palms vigorously, and after sneezing comfortably, Xu Shiying twisted the key to start the vehicle, and the engine didn't mean to work at all, could it be that there was something wrong with the car?

He pushed open the door and got out of the car and turned around, even the front cover of the engine was opened to check whether it was a problem with the engine, but he didn't find any problems.

With his hands in his trouser pockets and his shoulders shrunk, he stomped on his front wheel, and without noticing anything wrong, he turned around and went back to the car.

When he returned to the car, he was about to restart the car, when he suddenly felt a biting cold wind blowing, and a faint layer of white mist surging up on the glass. He hurriedly started the car, but fortunately the engine was no longer unpowered, and the familiar rumbling sound made him feel a lot more at ease.

Wang Sen honked the horn from time to time behind him to urge, Xu Shiying hung up the gear, lightly stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle moved forward slowly, suddenly a figure flashed in front of his eyes, the night was dark, Xu Shiying was afraid that he would accidentally hit someone and couldn't touch the porcelain or something, so he hurriedly stepped on the brakes and rolled down the window, stretched out his head and looked around to see nothing.

Xu Shiying scratched his head, blaming Sun Ying for telling ghost stories during the day, causing him to think about this aspect from time to time, we are all materialist successors, how can we believe in these unwarranted ghosts.

I remember seeing the origin of the explanation of ghosts on the Internet, and the scientific explanation of ghosts is equivalent to some kind of special brain waves, and only when the human brain waves are synchronized with this special brain wave can the so-called ghosts be seen.

When Xu Shiying looked ahead after the meeting, he noticed a thumb-sized black and brown feces on the front window of the car, and he brushed it off with a windshield wiper, guessing in his heart that the black shadow he had accidentally seen just now might be a lone turtledove.

It's okay not to brush, but the glass is full of black-brown feces with a brush, so I have to turn off the engine and stop, turn around and say sorry to Wang Sen behind him, let him wait for a while, and wait until he finishes dealing with the filth on the glass before leaving. However, when I turned around, I saw a vast fog, not to mention people, not even a shadow of a car, and shouted twice, but no one responded for a long time, and Xu Shiying's heart began to be a little hairy.

Remembering the popular saying in the village, don't go out in the middle of the night, otherwise you will be entangled in unclean things. Holding back his fear of getting out of the car with a towel, he began to wipe the dirt from the glass under the light of the headlights, when he saw an old man with thin food and clothing and a cane, walking slowly forward.

"Old man, where are you going so late?" Xu Shiying saw that it was not safe for the old man to walk alone at night, so he asked casually.

The old man stopped and turned his head, and what he saw was a pale and colorless face, as if his face was rubbed with a thick layer of foundation, and his lips were as red as blood, and the old man grinned and showed his yellowed teeth, and laughed strangely.

Xu Shiying subconsciously blinked his eyes, the old man in front of him disappeared out of thin air, his heart suddenly burst, and he suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

Quickly wiped the glass a few times, threw the towel to the side of the road, quickly opened the door and got into the car, locked the door, and the heartbeat was particularly strong.

Xu Shiying slapped his cheeks a few times with both hands to sober himself up, restarted the vehicle, and it was strange that the road was calm and calm, and nothing happened again, but there was always something wrong in his heart, as if he had ignored something important.

The stereo in the car was put to the maximum to relieve the fear in his heart, and for some reason he always felt that the vehicle had become heavier unconsciously, as if he had pulled a ton of goods, which may have been his delusion.

During the drive, Xu Shiying was always a little absent-minded, and the speed of the car was not even twenty miles, and Wang Sen behind him pressed the horn from time to time to remind him that the speed was too slow, he restrained his mind and stepped on the accelerator to keep accelerating, and finally arrived at the door of the bar safely without danger.

When he arrived at the bar warehouse, he unloaded the goods and placed them, Wang Sen found a stool to play games on the side and take a break, while Xu Shiying checked whether the goods were damaged or underdelivered, this is a matter personally explained by the boss, you have to be careful and careful, and you can reply to the boss for a while.

It didn't take much effort, and after the inventory was done, Xu Shiying called the boss and told him that the goods had been received.

The boss didn't care about the goods on the other end of the phone, but felt unbelievable to see that he didn't have anything at all.

Xu Shiying asked the boss why, and the boss made a haha and claimed that he was fine, and finally hung up the phone.

He always felt that the boss was hiding something, making it mysterious, his heart was beating non-stop, and he was a little panicked, as if something was going to happen.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he locked the door of the warehouse, and Xu Shiying and Wang Sen chatted while walking.

Wang Sen is very talkative, maybe running back and forth from all over the world, he knows more, and he can hear a lot of interesting stories from his mouth, if there is a girl here, he will definitely agree to go home with him tonight to talk about life.

"I'm two years older than you, so I'll call you brother!" Wang Sen is not a small smoker, he just finished smoking one, and this is on again, and there are less than three or five left.

Xu Shiying nodded, just in front of the bar counter, he found two boxes of cigarettes from under the counter and threw them to Wang Sen.

Wang Sen took it and looked at it in surprise and said, "Changbai Mountain!" I like this cigarette, so I'm not going to take it. ”

skillfully tore open the package, took out a Changbai Mountain cigarette and put it under his nose to smell it, and said intoxicatedly: "I want to die of the smell of this cigarette, labor and management have not smoked it for almost a year." ”

Throwing away the Yuxi cigarette in his mouth, Wang Sen couldn't wait to light it and take a hard puff, with an intoxicated look on his face: "No matter how good the cigarette is, it doesn't smell like this smoke, it's great." ”

"Brother Sen, if you like it, I have two more here, and I'll give you them in a while." Xu Shiying said with a smile.

Wang Sen opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Really? ”

Xu Shiying nodded with a smile: "It's like getting along with Brother Sen at first sight, two cigarettes are not worth mentioning, as long as my brother thinks about it, you can come to me at any time, and the cigarettes and alcohol are enough." ”

"Okay, I like it. However, my brother doesn't want your things in vain, na, you accept this jade pendant, and if it has been opened, it can ward off evil spirits. Wang Sen cautiously took out a green jade pendant and handed it to me, somewhat reluctant between his eyebrows, the jade pendant is carved with the familiar Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Brother Sen, we are now in the era of science and technology, we are all materialists, why do you still believe in this thing, ghosts and monsters are all scaring people." Xu Shiying took the jade pendant and put it on the counter, mixed a glass of rainbow juice for Wang Sen, poured himself a glass of remy marvodka, sandwiched two ice cubes and shook the wine glass, and picked up the jade pendant again, not believing Wang Sen's words at all.

"Brother, didn't your boss tell you, what is the nickname of the road where we deliver goods?" Wang Sen took a sip of rainbow juice and asked.

Xu Shiying shook his head, he had been working for three months, and he had seen the boss no more than ten times, and every time he came and left in a hurry, how could he have time to sit down and chat like them.

"This road is known as Huangquan Road, almost every day there are people who die inexplicably on this road, the police station has checked again and again and again and has not found the cause of death of the deceased, except for the pale and scary, there is not a trace of wounds on the body, so far, according to official statistics, one hundred and thirty-seven people have died."

Wang Sen took a sip of juice and paused to continue: "People say that there is a ghost who died unjustly on this road, and every time in the early hours of the morning, he will come out to choose a target to harvest people's lives. ”

"That's, do you mean ghosts kill people?" Xu Shiying took a sip of the liquor, his throat was hot, and the unfinished FB2 bomber next to him didn't dare to put his mouth in his mouth, for fear of hurting his body.

However, Wang Sen saw it, showed strong interest, took a drink from the wine glass, and blushed for a long time without speaking.

Until Xu Shiying's glass of wine was almost finished, Wang Sen let out a sigh of relief and shouted, "Cool! ”

Highly spirited, feeling very comfortable all over his body in this slightly chilly night, Wang Sen immediately threw the juice aside, Xu Shiying wanted to remind him that he was still driving, but Wang Sen smiled at him mysteriously: "Mountain people have their own tricks!" ”

"You don't think we can go in all directions on this section of the road, but once it is night, there are no vehicles, and you can't even see the presence of vehicles.

Wang Sen poured himself a glass of vodka, did not add ice cubes, took a sip and continued the topic just now.

"And we've been going all the way, have you ever seen a car? Have you ever met a person? ”

After Wang Sen said this, Xu Shiying's heart was pounding, and when he thought about it, they walked on that road, except for the two of them, there was not a single car.

And how to explain the dark shadow I saw on the road? And the old man who lives on crutches with little food and clothing?

It was he who had guessed wrong, it wasn't an old turtledove or something, it was something unclean......

Unclean things are staring at him, so there is a phenomenon that the engine does not turn on the road, what is that black and brown thing?

And who the hell is that old man on crutches? That pale face is definitely not a normal phenomenon.

Xu Shiying took the wine glass and drank it all, looked at Wang Sen and hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "Brother Sen, I may ...... on the road just now."
