22 Ferry
My worries were obviously unnecessary, and I didn't know what Chu Qi's mouth and stomach were made of, even if this spicy soup was hot, she didn't seem to feel the same at all.
Looking at her like this, I suddenly felt that this guy sometimes seemed to be quite cute, although he spoke at me everywhere, but he was not bad in his bones, and he could protect me.
"By the way, just now, the one that came out of your body just now was wearing red...
I wanted to ask her what the situation was with this hidden soul, but Chu Qi immediately showed a vigilant expression, interrupted me, and said, "Pervert, don't even think about it. ”
。。。。
I'm full of black lines again.
"I said what is going on in your little head, I'm just curious to ask, are you the seventh year of this child's junior high school now, or, or the red-haired woman?"
I'm most curious about this, since it's a hidden soul, what is the current situation with her.
Is it the seventh year of the year or the red-haired woman who is talking to me now?
Chu Qi didn't answer me, she seemed to be thinking about this question, and, looking at her appearance, she didn't seem to understand this question, with a trace of dazedness in her big eyes.
"You, you don't know yourself, do you?" I asked, opening my mouth wide.
Chu Qi didn't get angry this time, and nodded along with it.
I was dumbfounded, I was really defeated by her, how could I just be a wise and martial artist, and now I have become a little foolish god.
"Hey, show me that ring." Chu Qi no longer dwelled on this problem, but transferred the problem to the ring that made the burnt-faced man look greedy.
"Oh, by the way, you hurry up and see, what is so special about this ring, I can't get it off after I put it on." I hurriedly reached for it.
The seventh year of junior high school is not small, and the origin is also mysterious, and I must know more than me.
Chu Qi looked at the bronze ring on my thumb, touched it with his hand again, and scratched it hard with his fingernails, but the ring was unresponsive.
"How's it going, do you see anything?" I asked, expectantly.
As a result, Xiao Lori shook her head, "It's very hard, the material is very special, it shouldn't be simple, otherwise Tianhuo wouldn't be so covetous." ”
"Skyfire?"
"That's the guy just now, idiot." Chu Qi said angrily.
"Oh!"
"Where did you get this ring?" The seventh day of junior high asked me curiously.
Of course, I didn't have to hide it from her, so I told the old beggar about it.
Chu Qi was not surprised when he heard this, but said: "Since you got it, it is your chance, keep it well, when the time comes, he will naturally reveal something extraordinary." ”
Li'er is such a Li'er, if nothing happens, I will naturally take it with me.
But now it's different, this ring has been targeted by the guy called Tianhuo, and he will definitely come to snatch it again.
This time I'm lucky, it just so happens that the seventh day of the first month is here, if the seventh day of the first month is not here, then what should I do?
"So, what about the next time that guy comes to rob it?" I asked, worried.
As a result, he was despised by Chu Qiyi again, "You are still not a man, you are so timid, don't worry, that guy doesn't dare to be too ostentatious, there are a lot of people waiting to catch him, okay, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep." ”
On the seventh day of the first month, he ate and drank enough, ignored me, and went upstairs directly.
And I looked at the time, and it was almost four o'clock, and I was ready to close.
That day, Huo was temporarily frightened, and it was estimated that he would not come to trouble so soon, and if he dared to come again, I would directly burn the paper talisman left by Lao Bai, and I would definitely be able to deal with him.
Since it was safe for the time being, then I had nothing to worry about, and after tossing this night, I was frightened, and I was also very hungry, so I made a bowl of noodles to eat.
Seeing that it was almost four o'clock, I thought that so much had happened that night, and nothing else would happen, but things did not go my way.
At 3:50 a.m., a man appeared at the door, wearing a suit shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair, which had been waxed, now looked a little messy.
His face was full of panic, his face was full of horror, and he couldn't stop looking back.
He seemed a little surprised when he saw that my door was still open, but then he gritted his teeth and ran towards me, closing the door with his hand.
He leaned against the door, leaning on the door, looking out through the crack in the door, not knowing what he was worried about.
I stood up, my eyes slightly wrinkled.
If nothing else, just because at the moment this man was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and the kitchen knife was still red, and even his white shirt had a few drops of bright red liquid, obviously, it was blood.
But I noticed that there were no injuries on his body, which proves that the blood belonged to someone else.
Let's not say whether he is a human or a ghost, even if he has a murder weapon in his hand, it is worth my vigilance.
The man kept lying on the door and looking out as if he hadn't noticed me, his body still shivering, no, he should have been trembling nervously.
I really don't know what he's just been through, but at the moment, I don't dare to act rashly.
For a while, he didn't seem to notice anything outside, and then he turned his head, and his whole body was leaning against the door, looking a little paralyzed.
He often let out two breaths, and suddenly, as if he saw me, he became nervous again, and raised the kitchen knife in his hand again.
"Don't, don't be nervous, don't be impulsive, I'm the boss here, I have no ill will." I hurriedly said, for fear that he would take a knife and cut me in a tense state.
Although my physical fitness has improved a lot now, after all, I have just been sucked by the seventh day of junior high school, and strenuous exercise will definitely have an impact.
"You, you're not one of those debt collectors?" The man in glasses looked at me and asked vigilantly.
It suddenly became clear to me that this man must have borrowed from a loan shark and was now being collected for his debts, which is why he was so nervous.
I hurriedly shook my head, "No, I'm the boss here, you, do you want something to eat?" ”
I looked at the time, it was already four o'clock, and now that the door was closed, my head was indirectly closed.
Seeing that I denied it, the man with glasses breathed a sigh of relief, he put down his hand holding the knife, and walked to a table and sat down.
He placed the knife on the table and grabbed two of them on his head with his bloody hand, looking frustrated.
"I, I don't have any money, I don't even have a meal to eat." His voice was filled with remorse, chagrin, and despair, and when people heard it, they felt that he had lost hope and had reached a dead end.
Although I don't know how he got to this point, it is still very sympathetic for a big man to get to the point where he is now.
"It's okay, I'll ask you, don't ask for money, what do you want to eat?" I said.
"Really, really?" The man with glasses still seemed to be a little unconvinced, "I must have heard it wrong, no one wants to help me, my friends don't answer my calls, even my relatives have cut off relations with me, even my wife and children, they have to leave, they have to leave, they have to leave." ”
The glasses man's body trembled, he was very excited, and a big man was crying so much.
"This..." I really don't know how to comfort him.
I don't know what he went through, and I don't know how he got to the point where his family is ruined, but I'm a small restaurant owner, so naturally I can't help him.
"Don't think about it yet, since you have come to me, let's eat enough first, there is no endless road, as long as people are alive, there will definitely be a solution to the problem."
I said, no matter what he wanted to eat, I got him a bowl of noodles that were left over from the pot just now.
However, I also raised my vigilance in the past, for fear that he would suddenly take on a knife.
And the man with glasses was also very vigilant, staring at me with his eyes, for fear that I would do something.
"Don't worry, let's eat." I gently placed the noodles on the table and slowly retreated.
Seeing me retreat, the man with glasses breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and devoured them, it was really like he had been hungry for a long time.
I stood there motionless, but my eyes narrowed slightly.
Because I saw that although he was eating heavily, there was not a single noodle in the bowl, and everything was still the same.
He kept his head down, sobbing quietly as he ate, and at last, as if he had thought of something sad, he fell on the table and began to cry.
"I'm useless, I'm really useless, I'm damned!" The man howled and scolded himself, then sat up again, slapping his palm hard in his mouth.
"Brother, calm down, you blame yourself so much, it won't make the slightest difference." I persuaded him, then took a bottle of wine and walked over slowly, sitting down on his floor.
I dared to do this because my tongue still felt numb.
This time, he didn't react so violently, and instead drank the glass of wine I had poured for him.
"Can you tell us your story?" I quietly poured his glass of wine on the floor, and replaced it with a new one.
There was also a strange feeling in my heart.
I'm the owner of the Midnight Hotel, and that day the fire called me the Yin Si ferryman, so maybe my role is to stay here, listen to the stories, and ferry them to the other side.
It seems that this is exactly what happened, and I have been working as a ferryman since the opening of this midnight hotel.
One side of the river is confused, just drop everything and get on the ferryman's boat, and one day you will reach the other side and forget everything that happened on the other side.
