I scratched my temple: "You mean, the dragon fell from the sky and fell to his death?" ”

Boss Jiang corrected me: "It's that after the dragon died, it fell from the sky, that's what the second master said." The second master said that the keel has a strong spiritual rhyme, and ordinary people can prolong their lives as long as they are infiltrated by that spiritual rhyme. If you stay here for a long time, you will find that the residents of the old alley almost never get sick. Are you still planning to eat noodles at night? ”

As soon as she said this, I glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was already half past five in the afternoon. I didn't expect me to wander around the alley for so long.

I asked Boss Jiang, "Do you have anything else to eat besides small noodles?" ”

Boss Jiang suddenly smiled: "You can't keep staring at my store to eat, go eat mutton at night, the mutton soup restaurant also makes roast lamb legs, the taste is very good, it just so happens that I want to eat it too, you invite me." ”

I smiled half in surprise and half helplessly: "So you're welcome? ”

Boss Jiang: "I helped you so much today, you should invite me, right?" And weren't you just about to ask me about the thrift store? ”

I clasped my hands: "You can also read minds?" You know what I'm thinking. ”

"It's not mind reading, it's head-lowering," Boss Jiang shook his finger at me: "When you followed the second master past my door, you fell into my head." It looks like you have no experience at all, so it's so easy to get hit. Let's make a deal, you invite me to dinner, and I'll help you untie your head. ”

"What do you want to do? Why do you want me to drop my head? ”

Boss Jiang smiled very brightly: "In order to rub this dinner, their mutton is a bit expensive, and I am reluctant to spend that money." ”

I stared at Boss Jiang's eyes that were smiling like crescents, and I felt more and more that she was unpredictable.

Anyway, Boss Jiang finally succeeded, I invited her to eat a roast leg of mutton and drink mutton soup, but fortunately, she didn't eat much and didn't consume too much of my silver.

I asked her about the thrift store, but three of her four sentences were talking about Yan Yanan, what to say, Yan Yanan and Yan Ru are the same, they are all kind of ghostly and sorrowful characters, Yan Yan likes to play yin, on the surface is quiet, secretly to kill people, Yan Yanan is just the opposite, she likes to say everything to her face, leaving no room for anything.

The character of the man is extremely unlikable, and the man is hurtful to others and himself.

Boss Jiang asked me curiously, what do we men think, why are there so many people chasing women like Yan Yanan? Ask me if a man looks at a woman, only by her looks and not by her personality?

I don't know how to answer her to a question like this, but I just said that maybe some people just like Yan Yanan's temper, and I also gave a living example of this - Boss Lu's wife.

Boss Lu and the proprietress grew up together, I don't know what the proprietress was like when she was young, anyway, she is now an old man, and there is still a sense of sturdiness all over her body. I think that even if the proprietress was as beautiful as a flower when she was young, Boss Lu would have been tired of looking at her face since she was a child, not to mention that she has become like this now.

Besides, Boss Lu is actually quite rich, don't look at his usual life of picking and searching, and he has to calculate and add some fuel to the car, but that is completely because the boss lady is too tight, and economically, Boss Lu has no freedom at all.

In the past, I have been thinking that if Boss Lu divorces his wife, even if half of the property is divided, with his worth, it can be regarded as a diamond king.

Rich, considerate, diligent and down-to-earth Boss Lu, except for his figure being a little out of shape and usually a little verbose, he has almost no shortcomings in my eyes. Look at the proprietress again, fierce and domineering, who gets along with everyone is like she wants to roll up her sleeves and fight, her face is born from the heart, and she has a fierce face.

Even if Boss Kelu is beaten every day, he feels that his wife is good and has a good life all day long.

I think that's true love.

Besides, listening to Boss Jiang's meaning, Yan Yanan's personality should be very similar to our boss lady, in other words, those men who fall in love with her may also have true love for her.

Hearing my answer, Boss Jiang was stunned for a long time without speaking, and when she was almost finished eating, she suddenly asked: "Do you men have masochistic tendencies?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I almost squirted out the sheep soup in my mouth.

Fortunately, I held back, I swallowed the mutton soup smoothly, and then said to Boss Jiang: "Don't you guys, don't put me in, I'm not interested in people like Yan Yanan, and I don't want to live in fear all day long like Boss Lu." ”

Boss Jiang: "You can't be interested in Yan Yanan, she is your cousin, and the two of you are close relatives." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand at her: "Even if I am not related by blood, I will not be interested in her, I don't have to think about this kind of thing." ”

Boss Jiang pouted: "It's hard to say, maybe you will marry a wife in the future, and your temper will be exactly the same as that of Yan Yanan?" ”

Me: "You're cursing me." Okay, I've eaten the meal, can you untie my head now? ”

Boss Jiang got up and walked towards the door of the store: "I'll help you untie it before eating." ”

I followed her voice and turned to look at the door, only to find that she was gone, and when I leaned over to the door and looked out, I didn't see her.

At this time, the owner of the sheep soup shop came to me while wiping his hands with a towel: "Boss Jiang's physique is half-human and half-Gu, and she will disappear when the sea is over, and she will not appear until the next day." ”

The owner of this shop is Mongolian, his real name is Nadamud, and his Han name is Meng Qingshan, but including Boss Jiang, everyone nearby calls him "Boss Mo", for unknown reasons.

I asked Boss Mo: "Half-human, half-Gu?" What do you mean? ”

Boss Mo spread his hands: "Then you have to ask Boss Jiang." By the way, the boss of Fan Qian Jiang has already paid for it, and she said that you don't have cash, only cards, and I can't swipe the card here. ”

I was about to take out my bank card, but when I heard the second half of his words, I slowly put it back in my pocket.

At this time, Boss Mo looked at the sky outside and said to me again: "You go back quickly, I'm going to close here." ”

When I got out of the sheep soup restaurant, I found that not only the sheep soup restaurant behind me, but most of the shops in the alley had turned off their lights, and all the merchants seemed to have been discussed a long time ago, first all the lights went out together, and then, starting from the two stores next to the thrift store, the doors of the shops closed one after another like dominoes that had been knocked down.

The old alley was dark at first, but soon the lights came on again beside me and near the mouth of the alley.

The small noodle shop, the scrap shop, and the shroud shop, the three watch stores, became three beacons in the dark when the other merchants were closed.

When I returned to the door of the thrift store, I turned and looked into the alley again, the dark sky and the shadows in the alley were mixed together, and it was no longer possible to tell who was who, only the three bright lights in the distance were particularly dazzling in this deep darkness.

Yes, it's glaring, these three lights give people a very unfriendly feeling, hanging like a ghost fire on the dark black curtain.

I pushed the door open and entered the thrift store, and since I hadn't delivered my luggage yet, I didn't have a change of clothes, so I had to wash up hastily and go to bed.

As usual, I lived in a small room surrounded by walls, and as soon as I touched my pillow, I fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of November, the average daily temperature on this side of Bohai Bay is still about 10 degrees, but the heating has begun to run hot water, I think the house is a little stuffy, just before going to bed to open the door, it is more than nine o'clock, I think Yan Yanan should not come back tonight.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, I felt a chill on my body, and then I was slapped on the forehead.

I was suddenly awakened, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Yan Yanan, wearing a nightdress, standing by the bed and glaring at me angrily.

I was also startled when I saw her expression: "No...... What's wrong with this? ...... in the middle of the night."

Before I could finish speaking, Yan Yanan roared: "What are you doing to eat, can't you hear the bell ringing!" ”

As soon as she said this, I realized that there was a sharp rattle outside the door.

Something happened in the alley!

I quickly put on my clothes and shoes and ran towards the bell room like a gust of wind.

Yan Yanan followed behind me, still shouting: "How long has it been ringing, can't you hear it!" ”

"I sleep so hard that I really can't hear."

As I spoke, I pushed open the door of the bell room, and saw a brass bell shaking violently like crazy, and the steel wire connected to it was also trembling.

Yu Yanan walked over quickly and grabbed the copper bell steadily, and then I saw the name on the bell face clearly: Song Ziyi.

How is he?

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, Yan Yanan rushed out of the house, and I quickly followed her pace, leaving the thrift store with her, and running all the way towards Song Ziyi's stationery store.

Boss Jiang and Boss Yu had been waiting near the stationery store for a long time, and as soon as Boss Jiang saw Yan Yanan, he immediately spoke: "Someone has done something on the door, and it can't be opened." ”

I rushed to the door with one lunge and kicked with my foot.

There was a muffled bang, and I kicked the door open, and there was a whirring noise from the depths of the room, as if many cabinets and cupboards were turning to the ground at the same time.

Boss Yu looked at the door panel that was almost kicked by me, and smacked his tongue: "It's another second master." ”

As soon as the door opened, she rushed in, and I followed her, and as soon as I entered, I saw a man hanging from the beam, and directly below him, there was a table and a chair that had been kicked over.

Suicide?

I looked at each other, and then I jumped on the beam, tore the rope, and he was standing on the table, holding the hanged man, and slowly lowering him.

You don't have to guess to know that this guy who hangs himself on the beam of the house must be Song Ziyi.

Boss Jiang and Boss Yu just stood outside the door and watched, without any intention of coming in to help.

Yan Yanan tried Song Ziyi's breath, he was probably still alive, because I saw Yan Yanan breathe a sigh of relief, and then I saw her take out half of a fennel leaf-like thing from her pajama pocket, break Song Ziyi's mouth, and stuff the leaf in.

Song Ziyi's throat seemed to be violently stimulated, first contracted quickly, followed by a series of violent coughs, but Song Ziyi kept his eyes closed when he coughed, and he didn't know whether he was awake or not.

When Song Ziyi couldn't stop coughing, Yan Yanan quickly glanced around the room, and said to me, "It's not Zhoushan's people who did it." ”

I scratched my temple: "Not Zhoushan? What do you mean? Didn't he commit suicide? ”

Yan Yanan looked down at Song Ziyi and responded briefly: "It's murder." ”
