16 I can't straighten my back
"Questions? What's the problem? I asked curiously, puzzled.
But at the same time, I also thought of the black gas I had just seen, this black gas, I seem to have seen it on the injured Chu Qi.
With a weird smile on the corner of Chu Qi's mouth, he said, "She doesn't seem to be a living person, more like a doll, but a doll with a soul." ”
"What, dolls?" I was a little surprised.
If little Lori said that the girl named Chu Chu was a ghost, I wouldn't be so surprised, but she said that it was a doll, or a doll with a soul, what did this mean.
"Forget it, ignore her for now, and wait for a while to observe." Little Lori turned her head and walked upstairs again.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, don't go yet!" I hurried after her, wanting to ask her something, like something that I felt physically strange from today.
And the imp and the mysterious uncle behind him.
Little Lori turned her head and said impatiently: "It's so annoying, people still have to go to sleep, what's the matter, hurry up, don't waste my time." ”
I immediately looked flattering, and then asked my own question.
After listening to this, Xiao Lori thought about it and said: "It's really stupid, you have been recognized, and this has become a real midnight hotel, he will connect with some special places to produce a special energy to help you subtly strengthen your body functions, by the way, in the future, you can speak when you are open." As for that little ghost, you can figure it out yourself, and if you can't solve this little thing,,, then ,,,"
Chu Qi said that she looked at me deeply, which made me shiver, and then she yawned and swaggered upstairs.
I was left to sit there and ponder deeply.
Little Lori said that this place has become a real midnight hotel, and it will be connected to certain places to generate mysterious energy.
It's amazing that this mysterious energy can change my body.
But what is this connected place, and who are the men in suits and the women in leather coats, and why do they have so much power?
I was very curious, and I wanted to find those two people and ask them clearly, but I guess I would be intimidated when I saw them, let alone ask them questions.
Although it was about the same as the seventh day of junior high school, those two people didn't give me the slightest sense of friendship.
But it's a good thing for me that I don't have to be dumb anymore when I'm in business.
Thinking about it, the time finally arrived at twelve o'clock.
Han Shanshan and Chu Qi stayed upstairs, I didn't worry about what would happen to her, staying by Chu Qi's side was much safer than staying by my side, if it was possible, I hated having to let Chu Qi leave me half a step.
If that little ghost dares to come, he will be swallowed by the seventh day of the first month.
Opening the door, I returned to the bar and began the long night of waiting.
I was a little apprehensive about what kind of customers I would meet tonight, and if I met evil spirits again, I would be terrified again.
However, after an hour, there was still no movement outside, which somewhat relieved me, and the upstairs was also quiet, and it was estimated that Chu Qi and Han Shanshan were asleep.
And I quickly thought of a question, if Han Shanshan stayed, then where would I stay, would they also allow me to sleep in a bed?
Thinking of this, I was a little excited.
Just then, a figure appeared outside, but instead of entering, he stood in the doorway, hunched over, and nodded at me.
When I looked up, I saw that it was an old beggar, with white hair, his clothes in tatters and dirty, and a rag bag in his hand, and his back bulging, like a hunchback, could not stand up straight.
"Old, boss, make me a bowl of noodles, I don't have much money, as long as I can eat enough clear soup noodles." The old beggar bowed over and said to me.
Although I was a beggar, I had nothing to dislike, so I said, "Uncle, you come in and wait for a while, and I'll do it for you." ”
The old beggar shook his head, poked his dirty hands, and said with a smile: "No, don't pull, I'm dirty, just take a bite at the door and warm up." ”
I was stunned, and there was some bitterness in my heart.
Although I don't know if he is a human or a ghost, at least he doesn't look like a bad person now, so he smiled, "It's okay, you're a customer, that's God, it's cold outside, come in and sit." ”
Seeing that I looked sincere, the old beggar nodded and walked in.
But when he got to the table, he pulled out a few tissues and put them on the chair, as if he was afraid that my chair would be dirty.
I felt a little emotion in my heart, I didn't expect this old beggar to be so disciplined.
Immediately, I went to the back kitchen to make a bowl of noodles, and deliberately increased the amount, added a few more slices of beef, and then served it.
When he saw me bring the noodles, the old beggar thanked me again and stretched out his hands to take the bowl.
"Eat slowly, if you don't have enough to eat, call me!" I smiled and went back to the bar.
The old beggar picked up his chopsticks, blew on the hot air, and prepared to eat.
Seeing him move his chopsticks, I was relieved, it seems that this is not a ghost, but a human.
However, the hunchbacked old beggar seemed to remember something, stopped his chopsticks again, sighed deeply, and looked lonely.
I chuckled inwardly.
"Great, uncle, what's wrong?" I asked, licking my tongue consciously or unconsciously, feeling the numbness on it, and then I was relieved.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm just a little emotional."
"Young man, you are a good person, but there are not many good people, you don't know, I did a lot of wrong things when I was like you, and when I got old, I wanted to do some good things to make up for it, but in the end, there is only humility hidden in my bones, no matter what good things you do, people will always remember the bad things you have done, so, this person, you must not do bad things, otherwise you will not be able to get rid of it for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to straighten your waist in this life."
The old beggar sighed with emotion, giving me a very lonely feeling.
I vaguely felt that there must be some story about this old man.
It's a long night, and you always have to find something to pass the time.
So, I took a bottle of wine and walked over, poured a glass for the old beggar, and poured a glass for myself, "Uncle, this wine is given to you by me, don't think too much about it, how to live is a lifetime, it doesn't matter if it's worth the waist, the important thing is to have a clear conscience." ”
I raised my glass and toasted the old beggar.
The old beggar also picked up his wine glass and smiled, "Yes, it's good to have a clear conscience, I've figured it out a long time ago, and when I'm done eating this bowl of noodles, I'll leave, I don't have any regrets when I think about it in this life." ”
The old beggar laughed and put his glass down again, and I noticed that there was no shortage of wine at all, but the smell of wine was gone.
"Thank you, young man, you are a good man, I have a presumptuous request, and I want to ask you to do something for me." The old beggar looked at me with a little anticipation.
I nodded, "Say, if I can do it, I'll definitely help." ”
"Then thank you, here is a letter with the address and name on it, I hope you can personally help me hand it to him, tell him to study hard, don't go the wrong way." The old beggar said, taking out a crumpled letter from his rag bag and handing it to me.
Speaking of him, the old beggar had a slow love in his eyes, not that kind of love, but love for the younger generation.
I took the letter and nodded.
"Thank you, young man, since we met, it was fate, and I wouldn't let you send this letter in vain." As he spoke, the old beggar pulled out a clump of rags from his sack, which seemed to contain something.
"I don't have any skills, I picked up this thing when I was picking up scrap, so I'll give it to you." The old beggar said, and put the thing into my hands.
"Alright, the noodles are finished, the wine is drunk, and even the warmth is warm, I should go, young man, thank you!" The old beggar looked at me with a smile and gradually disappeared across from me.
I was not surprised, nor surprised, for I had already discovered that the old beggar was not a man, but a ghost.
But he's just like the old woman and the poor woman at the beginning.,Just have a wish that hasn't been fulfilled.,And he won't attack me.,Plus I have the ability to teach little Lori.,That's why I'm so calm.。
I looked at the letter in my hand, the address of which was a nearby orphanage, and I opened the rag again, and found that it was wrapped in a rusty ring, bronzed, somewhat dull.
This ring doesn't look valuable, it's a two- or three-dollar jewelry on the street, but it feels very textured, and the patterns on it are also very beautiful.
I liked it, but the ring was so big that I could only wear it on my thumb.
I looked at it, and it was really good, and the size was just right, like it was tailor-made for me, but when I wanted to take it off, I found that I couldn't take it off, so I just took it with me.
I put the letter away again, thinking that I would send it when I had time tomorrow, and though I was curious about its contents, I did not open it out of moral reasons.
This night, there was only one guest, and when it was almost ten o'clock, I became more and more relaxed, thinking that I would soon be able to close the door and go to bed, and my heart was full of excitement.
But I didn't wait long for me to be happy, when a sudden gust of wind blew outside the door, blowing the fallen leaves, and after the wind passed, a white shadow flashed, and a familiar figure appeared at the door.
I was a little surprised, because this man was the man in the suit, and he was still wearing the same white suit that didn't even have any variegated color like last time, and he was standing in the doorway, looking at me carefully.
