Chapter 495: Dinner
Mr. Lu scratched his head and said, "It shouldn't be a liar." The aunt he called in was indeed not a longevity look. And. If it's a liar, what is he going to cheat? If you only have one hexagram a day, I'm afraid you won't make any money. â
I said, "Let's just leave it at that?" It seems that there is indeed a master who is telling fortunes for everyone, in this case, what kind of murder or the like, there will be no more zĂ i, and we may be able to close the case. â
Mr. Lu shook his head: "There is also a strange place, before these people died, they went to the newspaper office to publish an obituary, which must have been confessed by the remnant immortals." This act looks like some kind of ritual. Every time I think about it, I feel a little unsure. â
Xue Qian said: "But that person just now doesn't seem to know about the obituary." Seemingly. The remnant immortal is only willing to sue the person who is going to die. â
Mr. Lu nodded. said, "Don't worry, I know how to do it." Then he strode forward.
Xue Qian and I followed behind and asked Mr. Lu, "What do you know?" â
Mr. Lu turned around, smiled at me, and said, "When the evening comes, you will naturally understand." â
I looked at the full moon in the sky and said, "Is it daylight?" â
Mr. Lu smiled: "Wait until dinner." You're waiting for us, Xue Qian and I are going to buy some food and drinks. â
I looked at him suspiciously, "What day is it?" I feel like you're a little out of the ordinary. â
Mr. Lu suddenly sighed at the moon, and said nervously: "Raise your head and look at the bright moon." Bow your head and think of your hometown. I grew up wandering with a group of beggars, and I have long forgotten where my hometown is. As the saying goes, where there are relatives, there is hometown. My master and brother have passed away one after another, and I am the only one left in this world. Fortunately, I have taken on you as an apprentice again. Zhao Mang, you are now my only relative in this world. I was hurt about the moon just now, and my heart was touched, and I couldn't help but want to have two drinks with you, as the so-called life is short......"
I listened to Mr. Lu's words, and the first half was definitely nonsense. When he talked about Master and Senior Brother, his voice trembled a little. Obviously, it was a fake show, and it moved the truth. I couldn't see this kind of scene the most, so I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Okay, okay, isn't it just drinking?" I'll just drink it, why bother being so insensitive. â
Mr. Lu immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Then you are waiting for me." â
I said yes. Then Mr. Lu pulled Xue Qian in another direction.
I looked at them suspiciously, and then I looked for my way.
The place is far away and I turned around for a long time before I found my way back. I only ate a boxed lunch in the afternoon today, and I was already hungry by this time.
Since Mr. Lu asked me to wait for his food and drinks, I had to sit in the room and wait. At first, I just felt a little hungry, but after a while, my hungry hands and feet were shaking, and some of them started to sweat.
I got out of bed and looked out. The street is deserted, where is there a figure? By this time, it was almost midnight.
I muttered in my heart, "Mr. Lu shouldn't be playing tricks on me, right?" â
I lowered my head and thought about it, the two of them could really do this kind of thing. Maybe I'll wait hungry all night, and the next day when I'm gobbling up the tofu brain stand, they'll jump out laughing.
When I thought of this, I said in my heart, I don't have to wait for them, let's come out and find something to eat.
I'm looking around to see which store is still open. Suddenly, several figures came from afar. Looking at the figure and movements, it seems to be Mr. Lu's appearance.
I was squinting over there when I heard Mr. Lu calling me, "Zhao Mang, is that you?" â
I said, "It's me, why did it take so long for you to come?" â
Mr. Lu sighed and said loudly: "Don't mention it, the two of us are lost, dizzy, and have been looking for a long way. â
I said suspiciously, "Isn't Xue Qian a local?" I have lived in Huaicheng since I was a child, so can you two still get lost? â
Xue Qian laughed: "This city is too big, I can't have been everywhere." Let's go, let's go, the wine and food have been bought, let's eat the vegetables. â
When the two of them approached, I suddenly noticed that there was a child behind them, looking at us indifferently.
I asked, "Who is this kid?" You kidnapped? â
As soon as the child heard this, his face changed dramatically.
Mr. Lu hurriedly covered my mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this kid is allergic to the word "trafficking". â
I pushed his hand down: "Don't mess with me, how can anyone who is allergic to words." â
Xue Qian smiled: "This child is my distant relative, I met him on the road just now, and I heard that we have wine and food here, so I want to come over for a meal." â
I frowned and said, "Such a young child, also drinking?" â
Mr. Lu smiled dryly: "Don't drink, eat vegetables, only eat vegetables." Alright, let's go inside, the food should be cold in a while. â
The four of us walked inside. Xue Qian and I sat on the same bed, and Mr. Lu and the child sat on the opposite bed.
Mr. Lu and Xue Qian couldn't stop drinking, while the kid stared at me with big eyes.
I ate two bites of food, and I felt terrible cold, I smiled bitterly and said, "You two are too unreliable, what should be cold for a while, it's cold now." â
Mr. Lu said apologetically: "It's been a little longer, it's been a little longer." But the heart of being a teacher is real. â
I can't bother to verify his sincerity at this time. I was dizzy with hunger, and I lowered my head to eat those cold dishes, and soon, I was half full.
When I was almost finished, I wiped my mouth and was suddenly stunned.
There were half-lit candles on the broken table, and we sat at the table, our shadows reflected on the wall. I looked closely, and Mr. Lu's shadow clearly fell on the wall, but the child's back was empty.
I almost threw up the food I ate in. My body trembled, and then I looked at Mr. Lu and Xue Qian.
Xue Qian asked with a smile, "Lao Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you eat it? â
I put my hand under the table, pointed at the child, and said, "You didn't notice? â
Xue Qian smiled: "What did you find again?" â
I leaned into his ear and said, "This kid has no shadow. â
Xue Qian laughed loudly, I hurriedly pulled him, and said, "Be quiet, be quiet." â
Xue Qian looked at me with a smile: "Lao Zhao, you are drunk, you are wrong." Come on, come on, have a drink. â
I pushed his hand away: "Why did you and Mr. Lu turn things upside down today?" I'm already drunk, why are you still letting me drink? â
Xue Qian put the wine glass to my mouth and said, "This is not wine, this is decanting soup." â
When I drank it, I gasped for breath from the spirits.
Xue Qian pointed at the child and said, "Look at him, doesn't he have a shadow?" â
I took a careful look, and there was indeed a faint shadow behind the child, but this shadow was very faint, very different from ours.
The child noticed that I was looking at him, and he didn't speak, just stared at me in silence.
Mr. Lu smiled: "What are you talking about? â
Xue Qian pointed to the child and said, "Lao Zhao said, this child has no shadow, do you think it's funny?" â
After Mr. Lu heard this, he laughed: "I'm laughing to death." â
Perhaps infected by the love between the two of them, the child also cracked his mouth, revealing two insect-eaten front teeth.
Mr. Lu handed over the wine and said, "Zhao Mang, you are drunk." â
I said carefully: "His shadow seems to be a little faint ......" 360 search. The Empty House is updated quickly
Mr. Lu poured wine into my mouth and said, "How can there be such a thing? Look again. â
I drank the wine and opened my eyes to look again. The child's shadow was really thicker, but it was just ......
Before I could speak again, Xue Qian handed over another glass of wine. I was dizzy and inexplicably drank a few glasses. Every time he drank a glass of wine, the shadow of the child became a little thicker, and in the end, it was almost no different from ordinary people.
Suddenly, Mr. Lu said, "The time has come, it's okay." â
Then, Xue Qian walked to the corner and pulled out a stick of incense. The incense was half-burned, and Xue Qian stretched out her hand and extinguished the burning incense.
The boy jumped out of bed and said crisply, "Thank you both." â
Mr. Lu smiled: "Why be so polite? â
