Chapter 15: An Old Man
Ye Xiao can't help much with this case, he's just a librarian, not a detective Conan, it's okay to get some chicken soup and pour out those souls who have unfulfilled wishes, solve the case? Sorry, he's not good.
Fortunately, Jiang Fat Man is not a utilitarian person, and he didn't show disappointment or anything when he couldn't help, and Laye Xiao, who still called him a brother, went to have supper: "Let's go, you fat brother, I'll invite you to supper." β
Ye Xiao actually disliked him for calling himself a fat brother, and muttered: "As long as you are still a fat brother, I don't think you are too small when you are my grandson." β
"What? What did you just say? Jiang Fatzi didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, let's go, I'm hungry." Ye Xiao is too lazy to take care of the fat man, and it is not bad to have a friend, although it is his grandson Zei.
said that it was a supper, and when they came out, the sky was polished, and Jiang Fatzi took him to a small noodle restaurant with a familiar way, saying that the mustard noodles here were so delicious that they had no friends, they were cheap and affordable, and there was absolutely no second one in the city.
Is it that exaggerated?
Ye Xiao was skeptical, but still followed in, the faΓ§ade was a little small, there were only four or five tables, and there was a long table in a semicircle around the noodle cooking stove, like the kind of spicy tang eaten on the roadside, very small and narrow, and because it was close to the stove, the table was greasy and greasy, and there was a thick layer of grease.
The fat man didn't dislike it at all, he sat down on his ass, and pulled out a chair and patted it: "Come, sit, and taste the boss's good noodles." β
To be honest, Ye Xiao was a little disgusted, although he had seen Fan Wuyi's appearance of not being afraid of dirt or blood, and he could even put his body on his shoulder that had rotted for three or four months, he was still a little clean......
But he was embarrassed to dislike it, and his mouth was soft, so he had to sit on it.
The fat man didn't notice Ye Xiao's expression of "You kill me" at all, and shouted in a loud voice: "Uncle Liang, bring me two bowls of mustard noodles and ask for a bowl of Haida." β
The man named Uncle Liang was below, and when he heard the fat man's slightly excited call, he immediately turned around and smiled: "Okay, come right away." β
After a while, two bowls of green noodles were served, and after putting it down, he poured two handfuls of soup on it, and then gave a big spoonful of beef, and then said: "Come, Haida bowl, hurry up and eat." β
"Uncle Xie Liang." The fat man is not polite, after thanking him, he picked up the chopsticks and ate "lala", like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Ye Xiao glanced at him silently, and suddenly missed the days of eating with Fan Wuyi, Si Swenwen's, the rice was a chopstick clip, he was still laughing at people at the time, like a big girl, and now he knew that it was called cultivation.
After burying it, Ye Xiao also picked up the chopsticks to eat, and suddenly the left side was cold, he stopped the chopsticks, raised his head and looked at the fat man next to him quietly.
The skin-splitting ghost on the fat man's shoulder probably noticed him too, and turned his head to look at him, this time he was not afraid of him, and he dared to cross with him, could it be that his kindness to Sun Yan made her have some illusion that she shouldn't have?
Fortunately, although she was not afraid of Ye Xiao, she didn't dare to attack the fat man, and after a stalemate, she still gave up, turned her head to look at Uncle Liang, who was busy on the stove, and suddenly sighed "sigh", and then shrank back.
Alas? What do you sigh? Craving noodles?
This time Ye Xiao saw clearly, she didn't come from outside, but has been attached to the fat man, to be precise, lying on the fat man's back, her head hangs above the fat man's forehead, and the fat man can see her as long as he looks up, so this is the reason why the fat man is hunchbacked?
Did the fat man see her and deliberately hunch over to avoid her, or was he hunched over by her?
She is a demon who has turned into evil, that is, an evil ghost, with a lot of resentment, and has the ability to hurt people and even kill people, but it is just a piece of cake for Ye Xiao, he is fully capable of helping the fat man get rid of her, but he doesn't know why he doesn't want to do it, he is more willing to listen to the story behind this skin-cutting ghost.
And the fat man may not be happy for Ye Xiao to meddle in his affairs, so Ye Xiao will not be nosy, although the supernatural evil ghost can obtain dozens of times the yin virtue of the superordinate ordinary ghost, but he Ye Xiao is not Zhou Peel, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way.
After eating the noodles, the fat man settled the bill: "Uncle Liang, come, give you money." β
"Don't don't, don't give what money, who's with whom, in the future, your noodle uncle will be wrapped, and you can eat your peace of mind." Uncle Liang pushed the money back to him.
But the fat man didn't listen to him at all, and stuffed it directly into his pocket: "Uncle Liang, you take it, I won't dare to come next time like you." β
Stuffed very seriously, not like the kind of pretending to pay the bill, of course, he may also be serious about showing Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao said: "I have a very thick skin. β
Uncle Liang couldn't resist him, so he had to accept it, but he still couldn't help but nag a few words: "You, just don't give Uncle Liang a chance to repay you, if it weren't for you, our family would have ...... a long time ago" Uncle Liang said The corners of his eyes turned red in a second.
The fat man's face suddenly became bad: "Uncle Liang, don't say that, it's useless for me, and I almost ruined your family." β
Baa-baa? What are you talking about?
Ye Xiao looked confused, can you eat two dumb riddles in a bowl of noodles? What is the world?
Uncle Liang also seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to say this at this time, wiped the corners of his eyes, and squeezed out a smile: "Then you eat first, and Uncle Liang will go and get you some marinade." β
"Okay, Uncle Liang." The fat man agreed, watched Uncle Liang leave all the way, and muttered to Ye Xiao: "Uncle Liang is fifty years old this year, and he runs this noodle restaurant alone, waiting for his daughter to come back to him." β
"Where's his daughter?" Ye Xiao asked.
The fat man took a deep breath and suddenly looked up at the ceiling: "It's dead." β
Ye Xiao silently glanced up at the ghost on the fat man's back, and didn't say anything more.
After a long time, the fat man sniffed and asked him, "Do you think there really is hell in this world?" β
This question again, Ye Xiao's answer is still the same: "I don't know." β
The fat man didn't care, and continued to ask: "Then you say, will the person who commits suicide go to hell?" β
Ye Xiao: "......" He just said that he doesn't know if there is a hell in this world, right? So what's the point of the fat man asking this question?
"Yes, those who commit suicide will be sent to the fourteenth layer of hell." Suddenly, a low, cold voice came from the corner of the noodle shop:
"Being born as a human being is an opportunity given by the King of Yama, and it is also the final judgment obtained after the trial of the Ten Palaces of Yama, which is not easy to come by, if you don't know how to cherish it, then there is no need to give it a second chance, go directly to death row, and never be a human being. Therefore, the fourteenth layer of hell is also called hell of death. β
The moment he heard the voice, Ye Xiao was a little worried, not because he said the same as the truth, but because his back and his voice were like a person, an old man.
So...... Are you still back?
