Chapter 27: The Hungry Ghost Restaurant (2)
Knock, knock, knock. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Summer Rain thought of mice, and every night on the wooden ceiling of his rural hometown there would be this rapid sound, running from one end of the beam to the other, looking for food. Summer Rain is afraid of rats and hates things that hide in the ceiling, squeak, and he doesn't like such creatures not only because they often bite through their new clothes, but also because they are demons that live in the dark, knock knock, and act recklessly where people can't see them.
It's like at the three-way intersection in the mountains, with a pair of reddish eyes hiding in the dense bushes, at that time he just wanted to ask who are you?
"What is it?"
"Shh
It fell from a height of less than two meters, but the summer rain did not feel the presence of his feet, and he did not feel the reality of landing, and he was only supported by crows. The strange boy stared motionlessly at the door, and the sound of a thump coming from all directions came from it. He noticed that the crow's frowning brow, the feeling of silence and composure really did not look like the big boy who had just run the train with his mouth full, and what was even more strange was that this boy's chest did not have the temperature that a man should have, at least not in accordance with the breath of this hot summer. In the scorching sun, the summer rain didn't want to associate all this with ghosts, but this hypnotic percussion, like a mountain of seas, came from all sides, and it was terrifying.
Summer Rain's back pressed against the crow's chest, and the slow heartbeat, thump, was the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the walls, and they were locked in a huge cage, drowning in the whirlpool with the beating of clubs on all sides. He couldn't escape, because his feet were imprisoned and couldn't move, just like when he stood at a mountain intersection in the middle of the night when he was a child, not daring to look directly at those reddish eyes.
Crunch!
The yellow wooden doors were opened, and the summer rain involuntarily held its breath and its heart raced, and here they were!
Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly.
"What are you doing?" A girl in gray slacks with a tall ponytail walked out of it.
"Xiao Hanqing." The crow seemed to relax a lot, forgetting about the injured summer rain, and bang, the person who was being carried fell heavily to the ground.
"Ahh It hurts! Xia Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, but his feet were still weak, and the injury should not be light.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I accidentally fell off the ladder." The summer rain was picked up by the crow again, and his lips began to turn white, and he said weakly.
At this time, Boss Yang also followed Zhang Hanqing out of the door, he was still holding a cigarette, and he was panicked to notice Xia Yu's weak face. Fortunately, the employee had an accident in his shop and was about to get into trouble, so he clung on the last bit of cigarette butt and didn't speak.
"Crow, what's going on?"
The crow lifted his funny smile again, with a serious expression, "Xiao Hanqing, did you hear that?" ”
Zhang Hanqing didn't speak, walked over, and saw the dark black strangulation marks on Xia Yu's ankles, she frowned, thoughtful.
Summer rain only then noticed the strangeness on his feet, when did this trace appear? He was now like being in a cold lake, trembling constantly, and no matter how much he jumped, he couldn't shake off the aquatic weeds pulled on his feet, and could only fall into a suffocating slumber in a daze.
Boss Yang also saw the scar, the cigarette butt fell to the ground, and he was dumbfounded, "What's going on?" Hurry to the hospital! ”
Zhang Hanqing didn't respond to him, she reached out and touched the two deep marks, is this a warning?
"Ahh You little brats shouldn't be trusted. Boss Yang walked over, "Hurry up, can you get up?" Take you to the clinic! ”
Summer Rain squinted, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and only a glimmer of light barely entered his pupils. He felt lifted up by a person, very high, floating in the air, this is the feeling of the soul floating, his body is no longer conscious, and his consciousness no longer belongs to that skin.
Boss Yang picked up Xia Yu and walked towards the door, "You two listen to me, hurry up and pack your things and get out, little fart, boring game." Boss Yang shouted angrily.
"Xiao Hanqing, let's withdraw! We can't control it here, let alone ..."
Zhang Hanqing glared at him, a pair of eyes as transparent as glass, which made people feel like they were seeing a doll, but they were eyes that hid countless murderous intent. The people around her think that her eyes are very cute and godly, but they are also more terrifying, especially when she is angry, like a sword out of the sheath, glowing with cold light.
"Don't, people who dare to hurt me, can't just cheap them!" Zhang Hanqing said viciously.
The two doors in the kitchen, opposite to the entrance door, are the metal iron doors of the cold storage, and Zhang Hanqing just walked out is another yellow wooden door, and from this door, follow the stairs to the bedroom on the second floor where Boss Yang and his wife lived before. Zhang Hanqing has always been curious about the living room on the second floor of the hall, why the door has no keyhole or even a handle, it turns out that the other half of the space on the second floor is used as a bedroom to rest, and the only way to enter the bedroom is from the secret door in the kitchen, so when the restaurant proprietress gets up at night, she will see the person stealing food in the kitchen when she gets up at night. But as for why there is such a strange design, even the boss doesn't know why, because he bought this house from someone else, because it is cheap and the venue is large, so he doesn't care so much, and there is only this flaw when arranging the layout of the restaurant.
Then the contents of this restaurant should have nothing to do with the previous history of this building, but no matter what the reason is that the dead people have such a big obsession and become resentful spirits, they should not be able to escape from this restaurant.
So, "Raven, will you stay with me at night?" ”
The crow breathed a sigh of relief and raised an eyebrow, "Willing to serve!" ”
As for the matter of summer rain, Zhang Hanqing felt very sorry, he asked him to help, but now he was injured like this by the evil spirit, and when the matter passed, he must apologize in person. The only thing to do now is to quietly wait for the night to come, just this night, two people.
?
"Hey, Xiao Hanqing, I'll help you find out the past and present life of the Shengyuan Hotel building at No. 33 Cuibai Road!"
"Ah, thank you, Uncle Feng!"
"The history of this building is quite ancient, it was not just a residential building that was built at the beginning, but a grain shop in the Republic of China, there are two two-story houses, and it was used as a temporary war zone hospital after the grain shop collapsed during the anti-Japanese period, and it was used as a warehouse after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"A war zone hospital?"
"Well, that's right, in those days, it was just used as a temporary shelter, and the old, weak and disabled soldiers and civilians used to live a hard life there."
"You just said there are two."
"Ahh Yes, listen to me slowly. Because it was no longer possible to find out the identity of the builder, this land has been owned by the state since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it has been abandoned for too long and has become a dilapidated house, so it is planned to be demolished. But the strange thing is that when the demolition team came to demolish the building, there was an accident, first two workers accidentally fell from the building while building the jumping platform, one died and one was injured. ”
"Build a jumping platform?"
"Well, in the 80s, the technology of fixed-point blasting was not yet mature, and there could only be manual beating from the top little by little. Due to an accident, the demolition task was delayed for a while, but soon it started again, and within a few days, a worker was crushed to death by a dirt truck. ”
"Another person died."
At this time, people began to panic, and some nearby residents said that during that time, they often heard the cry of an old man at night, and Mr. Feng Shui said that the spirits of the dead in the previous war lived in this building and could not be demolished. But the building had already broken ground, and it couldn't be abandoned halfway, so it went on again, and the death continued, and then three more people died one after another, and the county records that the floor suddenly collapsed, and the three people were stoned to death before they had time to escape. ”
"That is, there were originally two buildings, but one was demolished."
"That's right! But because that incident was so weird, and because it was unreasonable to tear down a building and kill a lot of people, the idea of resentment prevailed. In order to calm the ghosts in the building, the demolition team invited monks to perform rituals, and another building was renovated so that it was later used as a warehouse. Until now, because people's thinking is more progressive, they don't care about ghosts and gods, and the land is expensive, so it was bought by a businessman and renovated into today's Shengyuan Hotel. ”
"Oh! Understood, thank you, Uncle Feng. ”
"Well, did Xiao Hanqing receive any case for your father, if there is anything else to help in the future, just say it!"
"Haha, okay, thank you so much!"
