It's strange to say, since the secret conversation between Li Tiezui and Qi Yunliang, every night, after the guests are gone, I have been closed for four years The store was actually replaced by the shopkeeper Qi, every time before the last table of guests left, the shopkeeper Qi would order the kitchen to make four more tables of dishes, and the kitchen was also inexplicable.

I scratched my ears and cheeks, and I didn't have to do the work of serving the shopkeeper to wash and boil water every day, and I was ordered to go to bed early, for me who didn't sleep enough, like a death row prisoner's amnesty, which lasted for nearly a month, I wanted to know more and more, what is the shopkeeper doing in the front hall every night, what kind of guests are the guests?

And the most bizarre thing is that the business in the store is inexplicably better, the soldiers still come to eat and drink every day, but they actually give money, and two soldiers at a time actually pulled out a gun in order to fight for the account, scared me and Qi shopkeeper together to hide under the big cabinet, next door to the Guangyun Building to see our business is good, also opened, but a few days was smashed by a group of soldiers, Li Lao shopkeeper is more than 50 years old and suffered a few Wuzhi Mountain, the next day and hastily closed the door.

This lasted for more than ten days at noon, Li Tiezui came to the door again, Qi Yunliang, who was settling accounts on the counter, greeted him with a smile on his face, and after a few words of greeting, he instructed the kitchen to prepare wine and food to be sent to the inner room, and after speaking, he pulled Li Tiezui into the house, and when the wine and food were ready, he inserted the door, but a bowl of rice was not enough, Li Tiezui suddenly came out of the back room and was about to leave, Qi shopkeeper drooped his head and followed behind, Li Tiezui chattered while walking: "Stop in moderation, something will happen sooner or later", Qi shopkeeper did not speak, just followed silently, Until he was sent out of the door, Li Tiezui glanced back at the shopkeeper Qi, shook his head, sighed heavily, and limped away.

After a few days, I and the shopkeeper Qi went to the market to do the goods, I saw Li Tiezui from a distance, I saw Li Tiezui standing in the crowd, looked at the shopkeeper Qi, suddenly turned his head and ran, the shopkeeper opened his mouth and did not shout, the person has run away, I smiled and said: "This Li Tiezui, lame and running very fast, are all day long to cheat eating and drinking", the shopkeeper Qi did not speak, but on his face, I saw a kind of fear, which increased my curiosity, I decided to find out tonight.

The trick of drinking water is very effective, it is the number of nine cold winters, plus the firewood room where I live has no brazier, and the quilt is covered with an old quilt for three or four years, and I don't know whether I was awakened in the middle of the night or frozen awake, I wrapped my clothes, but I didn't wear socks and pulled my shoes, so that even if I was found peeking by the shopkeeper Qi, I could explain that I got up at night and accidentally saw it, and when I went out of the door, I saw the front hall brightly lit, our shop, the front is the store, the back is the courtyard of the residents, the shopkeeper Qi lives in the east wing, and I live in the firewood room next to the west wing, The opposite side of the firewood room is the thatched house, and the north front hall is the back door of the restaurant, the west wing is the back kitchen of the restaurant, I secretly came to the back door of the front hall, through the crack in the door to look inside, the more you can look at the more strange it is, I saw four tables of dishes in the front hall, four dishes on each table, four bowls of rice, each bowl of rice is inserted with a pair of chopsticks, like an incense burner for the dead, each table is lit with two white candles, eight candles will illuminate the whole hall brightly, but I can't hear a little sound, I thought, is it Qi shopkeeper asleep?

Because the angle of the back door is not visible to the big cabinet, I guess it is estimated that the shopkeeper Qi is too sleepy in the middle of the night to lie on the cabinet and fall asleep, he is a scholar, he was forced to become the shopkeeper of the restaurant, get up early and greedy and dark, not to mention the frightened, think about it is also pitiful, this ten winter months, if you fall asleep in the front hall, you are not allowed to freeze out of a disease, thinking, I gently pushed open the back door, came to the front hall, planning to wake up the shopkeeper Qi, let him go back to the house to sleep.

However, when I entered the front hall, there was a sudden wind, and I found that the door of the front hall was open, but how did I feel that the wind was coming from the house, and out of nowhere some paper money was blowing, and the paper money was more and more, 8 candles flickered on and off, I felt a bad cold, this is not the biting cold of the cold wind, but a kind of cold from the body, I can even hear the sound of my teeth chattering, in this wind rolling up the paper money, there are some sounds of Suosuo, as if something is moving, It seemed that someone was whispering something, I was stunned in place, trying to find the shopkeeper Qi, at this moment, suddenly all the candles were extinguished, the wind stopped, everything was quiet again, I stood alone in the dark vestibule, the whole person froze, I trembled like chaff and shouted: "Shopkeeper Qi?" There was no echo, the hall was as silent as death, I thought that there was a foreign fire on the big cabinet, so I trembled and moved to the big cabinet step by step, usually a few steps away, I felt as if I had walked for a year, I found a big cabinet groping for a foreign fire, lit a match, found that there were two white candles on a table closest to me, and quickly lit one of them like a life-saving straw, and then the faint candlelight, I saw that the front hall was a mess, there was paper money everywhere, I didn't care much, I went straight to the back room behind the big cabinet, Behind the big cabinet is a single room, when the business of Juxian Building was booming in the past, it was a single room where the old Qi shopkeeper entertained distinguished guests, and now it has become Qi Yunliang's study, occasionally reading too late, Qi Yunliang will also spend the night inside, just when my hand is about to close to the door of the single room, my afterglow is under the flickering of candles, and I find that there is a black shadow on the ground inside the big cabinet.

I immediately took the candle to shine it, and when the candlelight passed, I couldn't help but say, "Mom! With a sound, I collapsed to the ground, my whole body shook uncontrollably like a candle flame in the wind, my teeth creaked, and the black shadow was Qi Yunliang, I shook about half a bag of cigarettes before I slowly crawled over, shouting while crawling: "Qi ...... Qi ..... Qi shopkeeper", and Qi Yunliang remained motionless, and when I climbed in front of him to see his face clearly, I instantly felt a hot current flowing down between my legs.

Qi Yunliang's eyes were wide open, his eyes were red, he looked at me directly, his mouth had opened to the maximum limit I had ever seen, his face was like white paper, and several blue-green tendons extended from his forehead like branches, I mustered up my courage and poked it with my fingers, and found that the person was already stiff.

I don't know if it's tears or cold sweat on my face, the more I am afraid that I can't see clearly, the more it flows into my eyes, I keep wiping, I keep flowing, I give myself two slaps ruthlessly, trying to calm myself down, but it doesn't help, that thing still keeps flowing into my eyes, just when I was fighting with myself, I felt a sudden itch on my face, that itch was like being scratched with my hair, I wiped my eyes while scratching my face, one hand was still holding a candle, just when I was in a hurry, Qi Yunliang's face began to change, his face slowly turned a ball of green, just as his face turned green, the water in my eyes was no longer there, I stared wide-eyed, looking straight at Qi Yunliang, he also looked at me, I was still scratching my face with one hand, the clothes on my back were completely soaked, I opened my mouth but couldn't make a little movement, at this time I found that it was not only Qi Yunliang's face that turned green, everything around me turned green, then I found that the candlelight of the original candle turned green, The little green candlelight flickered and flickered, swaying, and at the same time there were some voices on my left shoulder, I slowly turned my head to look, only to see a miserable white, long haired, wet woman's face, smiling at me, and her eyes did not have any pupils, and they were also a miserable white, I looked at the tip of her nose for a few seconds, my head buzzed, my heart ached, and my eyes went black and fainted.
