The fat boss of the commissary fanned his fan, watched Zuo Kui search in the refrigerator for a long time, and finally found the last popsicle, put it in his mouth as if his merit was complete, and reached out to take out the money from his coat pocket to pay the bill.

The fat boss is wearing an old man's shirt, with a big belly and a shiny face. He smiled and said to Zuo Kui:

"Boss Zuo, I like to eat so much, buy more and put it away."

Zuo Kui said: "Just come out for a walk." ”

"You've had a good business these two days?"

"You also have a business to take care of me?"

The fat boss shook his head with a look of disgust: "I'll just open the store honestly, there aren't so many moths." ”

Zuo Kui took the popsicle in his mouth and went back to his shop next to him.

On the street corner, a young man had been looking at them for a long time. He had short hair and four eyes, and a dumbfounded face, and only after Zuo Kui entered the store for a long time did he walk timidly to the fat boss's freezer, and said carefully:

"You...... Hello? ”

The fat boss who sorted out the goods looked back and saw the young man, was stunned for a moment, and then greeted enthusiastically: "Yo, little brother, what do you want?" ”

The young man swallowed the words he wanted to ask, and after a pause, he said, "Whatever...... Give me a drink. ”

The fat boss took a casual bottle of drink from the freezer and handed it to him, and the corners of his mouth quietly curled.

The young man took the drink and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Old ...... Boss, who was that guy just now? ”

"The one who wears a coat and lacks eyes?" The fat boss smiled: "The owner of the store next door." ”

The young man nodded hurriedly, carefully pointed to the signboard of the store and said, "Liufang Zhai...... What is it selling? ”

"That's hard to say," the fat boss sat in the chair, shaking his fan and laughing, "I can probably buy anything I want, and sell anything I want." ”

The young man looked at him with a blank expression. He thanked him and slowly moved his footsteps towards Liufangzhai.

"Little brother, leave early if you're fine, this street is not easy to come by."

After the fat boss finished speaking, he laughed and looked very obscene.

The young man swallowed his saliva and walked into Zuo Kui's shop.

Zuo Kui's brows furrowed again - two living people had come in three days, which was not a good sign. But he still raised his head and said:

"What's there to help you?"

The young man bit his lip and finally said, "You...... Are you Zuo Kui? ”

Zuo Kui nodded: "You know me?" ”

The young man didn't speak, trying to adjust the angle of his vision, constantly observing Zuo Kui.

Seeing this, Zuo Kui put his hat up and revealed his whole face. Seeing Zuo Kui taking the initiative, the young man was a little flustered, and hurriedly shook his head and said:

"No...... I don't know you...... Just ......"

The young man hesitated for a while, and finally said, "It's just that my brother is also called Zuo Kui, and he has been missing for a long time. ”

Zuo Kui looked at him for a moment, took out a pen and paper and pushed it to him, "How do you write your brother's name?" ”

The young man respectfully took the pen and wrote the words "Zuo Kui" in the notebook.

Zuo Kui read it, wrote the word "Kui" under the word "Kui", and pointed it to the young man:

"That's my name. It's your brother's name, it's not the same. ”

The young man nodded and let out a long sigh, the disappointment on his face as if he had seen the end of the world.

"What else?" Zuo Kui asked again.

The young man kept swallowing his saliva, his lips trembled, and the whole person looked particularly nervous. He stood under Zuo Kui's gaze for a long time before finally saying: "My brother likes to eat popsicles very much in summer, but he never buys more, only when he wants to eat, he goes out for a walk and finds a place to buy popsicles, which is like a habit." ”

Zuo Kui watched him babble and finish speaking, his face expressionless.

"So what?" Zuo Kui said.

The young man had nothing more to say, he squeezed his fingers vigorously and slowly retreated outward, moving with great difficulty with each step.

The young man suddenly stopped at the door, seemed to have mustered up enough courage, turned back to Zuo Kui and said, "Old ...... Boss! You can't recruit guys! ”

Zuo Kui looked at the book, nodded casually and said: "Recruitment, perennial recruitment, you can stay here for three days." ”

The young man was a little surprised, he didn't seem to expect Zuo Kui to answer so simply, and became at a loss.

"That'...... So what should I do? The young man asked cautiously.

Zuo Kui pointed to an old wooden chair next to him, didn't even raise his eyelids, and said, "Sit, wait for the guests to come to the door." ”

At a loss, the young man sat upright in his chair for a long time. For the next few hours, no customers came to the door. The passage of time also made the young man slowly relax, until the whole person reclined in the chair and fell asleep.

Zuo Kui looked at the book and didn't care about him.

Little by little, the time passed until nightfall.

The young man's body twitched and he woke up from his sleep. He looked at the time on his phone, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and then stood up in a panic, wiped the dry stains of saliva and said to Zuo Kui:

"Right...... I'm sorry...... Boss...... I fell asleep......"

"It doesn't matter, there are no guests on the door." Zuo Kui said.

The young man pinched his fingers and stood in front of Zuo Kui's counter, wanting to speak again and again.

Zuo Kui sighed, put down the book and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I want to go to the toilet......"

Zuo Kui frowned, pointed to the back of the shop and said, "There is a bathroom in the courtyard at the back, go ahead." ”

The young man walked briskly across the counter, first stopped in fright by the eerie thing behind the barn. The coffin, the old cupboard, and the nails in the corner still have a little paper hanging from them.

It felt like I had entered a white shop.

"If you're afraid, let's go."

Zuo Kui stood behind the young man and said, so frightened that the young man almost didn't hold back, and ran into the patio as if flying.

The toilet is an old squatting pit, not clean but not too dirty. But for young people, it may be a little too filthy. He moved cautiously, as if the filth would jump up and attack him at any moment.

There was a strange noise, which once again startled the youth. He shuddered, and came out to look around, looking for the source of the sound.

The sound came from the yard next door, which was the backyard of the fat boss's shop. The young man listened to it for a long time with his pants raised, and the fat boss's face made his curiosity surge. He looked around, and saw a ladder in the courtyard, which was probably used to repair the roof, so he moved over and climbed up the courtyard wall.

In the moonlight, a fat body was busy in the courtyard. He dragged in a few things he didn't know what they were from outside the back door of the yard and piled them on the ground. Two of them were pulled out of the middle and dragged into a room.

The young man covered his mouth and almost cried out.

The things that the fat boss was dragging were clearly two people.

The dim light in the room illuminated the figure of the fat boss. It was a body that was fatter than in the daytime, and it was full of thick manes.

The young man trembled and could not control himself, feeling that he was almost unable to stand on the ladder.

When the fat boss was about to leave the young man's sight, he suddenly turned around, smiled at the young man with a face that was a few out and a little in and out, and turned his head and walked in.

The young man's eyes were black and he lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, it was already daylight.

Zuo Kui stood next to him, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Awake?"

The young man blinked, and finally came to his senses. He jumped up violently and shouted with all his strength, "Kill ...... Killed! Boss! Murder ......"

Zuo Kui tapped the book on his head, and the young man instantly calmed down.

"Speak slowly." Zuo Kui said.

The young man recounted everything he had seen last night, and jumped up the ladder when he was excited, pointing to the opposite courtyard and asking Zuo Kui to come up and see.

When he found that the yard was empty, he was stunned.

"Let's go back and get some sleep." Zuo Kui grabbed the young man with one hand and gently put it on the ground: "Usually there is business at night. ”

When the young man came to his senses, he was already standing outside the store. He was confused, and subconsciously looked at the fat boss's freezer stall, facing the fat boss's gaze.

The fat boss smiled at him again, his face obscene. In the eyes of young people, there is also an indescribable weirdness. He ran away, staggering in panic along the way.

Zuo Kui stood at the door of the store, watched the young man go away, glanced at the fat boss again, and turned around and went back to the store.
