Chapter 359: Strange Shop
The Venerable Master Hongyu drove me home, and shortly after I left the house, I received a call from Wang Ji and Wang Zhenren, saying that Liu Xiaoxiao's family was mainly buying our hotel, and I heard on the phone that they seemed to be hiding something from me, which made my heart churn for a while, and intuitively, it should not be a good thing.
As he spoke, the Venerable Master had restarted the car, and we rushed towards the highway.
I didn't go far, Liu Xiaoxiao called me and asked me if I had sold the restaurant, I really had the heart to get into the cracks in the ground, so how could I say it to her.
"Wang Ji said that the other party can pay the medical expenses this time?" Liu Xiaoxiao's voice trembled a little.
"Well, that's right, it's not finalized yet, if you have any ideas, it's still too late." I have no confidence in what I said, if I don't sell the hotel, where will the medical expenses come from, but if I sell the hotel, the couple doesn't even have a nest.
"Sell it." Liu Xiaoxiao's voice was very weak: "If we can pay off all the debts, we will be a little easier, otherwise, we will be too tired to live." ”
"Sister Xiaoxiao, after you are discharged from the hospital, go to live in my small apartment, although it is a little smaller, the environment is not bad." I said that my eyes were moist and I wanted to cry.
"This, don't worry about it, find a nest, the two of us can still do it, but I don't know what method you used to make Brother Liu give up the millions of debts, if he embarrasses you, Ke'er, let's not be afraid, just give him the money, and the money can be earned again." Liu Xiaoxiao said so sincerely, which moved me even more.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, money, don't give it to him, he made a lot of money from me, I watched him do it with my own eyes." I'm afraid that Liu Xiaoxiao will go to make money for that greedy brother Liu again, and that black-hearted guy won't let them go.
"That's right, I don't know what you're selling, it's worth a lot of money, then we'll pay you back the money later." Liu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the tone of his voice became much more cheerful.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered such a big loss, and I should have paid back the money." I rubbed my sour nose, thinking about her kindness to me.
"Okay, Ke'er, I heard that you are going home, you go to the hotel, my room, there is a coat I bought for the New Year, and I have never worn it, you bring it to your mother, and it is said that it is a piece of my heart." Liu Xiaoxiao laughed as she spoke, and I seemed to be able to see her smiling at this time, with enthusiasm and sincerity on her face.
I didn't go back to the hotel to pick up the clothes, I knew that she was not willing to buy new clothes for herself during the Chinese New Year this year, the clothes were given to her by her husband, and they were saved by the two of them for the sake of food, how could I take them.
The Venerable Master told me to take a good rest in the car, saying that if he was tired at night, he would let me drive.
When the Ghost King heard him say this, he was frightened, and said that if the Venerable Master Hongyu was tired, he would come and drive, and finally lived again, although he was not satisfied with this body, but he still did not want to leave early.
I'm very happy, the Venerable Master Hongyu has always disagreed with me driving, but I didn't expect him to want to drive this time, let me drive, can I not be happy?
It would take at least thirty-six hours to drive from here to my house, and I think the Venerable Master knew that he would not be able to persevere to the end alone, but he didn't plan to stay at the hotel on the road to rest, he seemed to be in a hurry than me.
When it was getting dark, we came to a fork in the road, saw a light flashing on the side of the road, and thought that it was a place to rest, so the Venerable Master Hongyu drove the car over.
I was confused at the time, didn't I say that I would drive, why did he have to find a place to rest again, so would I still have a chance to drive?
When we helped the Ghost King get out of the car, the Ghost King looked at the Venerable Master Hongyu with a worried face, pointed to the small shop in front of him, and asked the Venerable Master, "Have you really decided to spend the night here?"
The Venerable Master nodded: "If we don't spend the night here, someone will spend the night here, maybe the consequences for us here will be better." ”
I heard him say this, why is it so awkward, there is a lot of smell that I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, but my sister doesn't want to go to hell, my sister wants to go home to the heaven of my dreams.
The shop only has one floor, and to put it bluntly, there are not a few rooms in total, but fortunately, you can eat in the hall, which makes it a beautiful thing for people who travel far away to eat a hot meal on this cold day.
There was no desk or anything like that, and the owner was a woman in her fifties, with curly hair that had just been permed, and her chubby face was covered with heavy makeup, and those two fiery red lips that would have been thought to be two freshly cut tomatoes if you didn't look elsewhere.
As soon as we came in, she persuaded us to open three rooms, saying that the room was a little smaller, and that it was a bit crowded for two people, and that both the Master Hongyu and the Ghost King looked to be some old people.
"The rent is not expensive, why is it so crowded, how good it is to live comfortably alone." The landlady said to the three of us with her big red grin.
"Then let's live in this hall, it's quite spacious here, as long as this one is enough." The ghost king looked unhappy and raised the bar with the female boss.
A gloomy fragrant breeze swept by, and from behind came a pale young man, dressed in a silver-white suit, which made his pale face even paler.
It's already strange to wear white this season, and it's still such a sick person to wear such a dress, thanks to the lights here, if you are outside in the dark, you have to scare a few people to death.
Seeing me looking at him in surprise, the corners of the young man's mouth curled, and his somewhat flat mouth was pursed into a slit that was tilted to the side, and then turned his face to the female boss: "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes." The female boss answered so quickly.
The three of us sat down at a table and told the landlady that we were hungry too, and that it would be nice if we could serve the food faster.
The landlady said yes and walked to the kitchen in the back, I wanted to ask her if there should be a cook in this shop, but before I could speak, she had disappeared like a wind.
The boy looked at us, bent the corners of his mouth again, smiled at us again, turned his face, and turned the back of his head at us.
I looked at the Venerable Master Hongyu and the Ghost King, and asked them with my eyes, what kind of rhythm is this, even if this guy is cool, but there are only a few of us here, so we don't need to deliberately use our backs to us.
The ghost king nodded, stretched out his hand, took out a bag from the back of his wheelchair, opened it, and it turned out to be eaten at once, and of course, the old white gan he loved to drink.
"When you get here, you still eat what you bring?" I looked at him in amazement.
"You can eat what is here." The ghost king glanced at me, opened the cap of the old white bottle, took out the cup he was carrying, and poured wine.
"There's a cup over there, I'll get it for you." I said and stood up.
At this station, I was stuck there, and I saw a man sitting in front of the cabinet with cutlery, he was also wearing a daytime dress, his head was hanging down, and his face could not be seen clearly, he sat there motionless.
When we entered, there was only one landlady in the room, and when there was still one sitting there, I was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Ghost King and the Venerable Master Hongyu, who had already begun to drink from their own bottles.
When I saw them looking at them, he pointed to my bag and told me to take out my cup so that I could pour me a cup too.
Although I was full of suspicion, I still took out my cup according to their instructions, watched them pour me a little liquor, I looked at them with my eyes, and took a sip carefully, and the ghost king opened a bag of plastic grilled sausages and handed it to me, asking me to press the wine.
We were eating here, and the landlady came out from behind, carrying two large trays with two hands, one bowl on one tray and three bowls on the other, and it seemed that a pot of the four of us came out.
When she saw that we had already eaten, she immediately smiled: "Why can't you wait, do you still want to eat these?"
As she spoke, she had already placed the tray of a bowl in front of the young man in white, and the young man turned his head to look at us again, and the corners of his mouth curved, and he smiled again.
I looked at him and smiled politely, and casually glanced into his bowl, and couldn't help but wonder, what is in this bowl, red, like a drink, but not like.
The female boss saw me looking at the young man's bowl in a daze, and smiled at me: "It's very fresh, in other places, you may not be able to see such a fresh, I'm the best here." ”
As she spoke, she had already walked towards us, and the ghost king took another sip of wine, and asked me in a deep voice; "Is your little gourd there?"
Little gourd, he asked me what the little gourd was doing, I looked at him confused, he saw my confused face, and added: "Old guy, how stupid is your apprentice." ”
The Venerable Master looked at me and smiled, "Let you take it out, so that it won't be too late for a while." ”
My head was big, and I already knew what was going on, so I reached out and pulled out the small gourd and jade cicada hanging from my neck.
At this time, the landlady had already walked up to us, and was putting the tray in her hand on the table in front of us, when she suddenly saw me pull out a small gourd from my clothes, and let go of my hand, the tray made a noise on the table, and the three bowls of red liquid on it shook in the bowl and spilled out, almost splashing on our things.
"Look, you're not careful." The Ghost King said as he put his hand in front of the bag containing the food.
"What's this, it's for you anyway." The female boss's face turned pale, and her chubby hands trembled a little.
"We just happened to pass by, we just want to take a rest here, we are not used to eating this thing, even if we invite you." Seeing that the female boss's face had changed, the Venerable Master Hongyu hurriedly smiled at her.
"Yes, in such a big world, all I can meet is fate, and it is also the honor of the small shop to know you, so let's do it, even if I receive relatives." The landlady said as she reached out to take the tray away.
"Wait." Suddenly, the man sitting in front of the cabinet stood up and shouted hoarsely.
