Chapter 1 "Coincidental Encounters" and "Old Businessmen"
"Old Shang, you can wake up, aren't you going to take me to see ghosts?"
My name is Lu Xing and today is my 19th birthday. My best friend, "Old Shang", said that he decided to give me a special birthday present - to take me to meet ghosts.
That's probably why the two of us became best friends - I admired his pretentious personality when he didn't have any money.
Speaking of Lao Shang, I don't know his real name. Knowing him was a fateful encounter.
On my way home from high school, I would always pass by a noodle shop. My parents are always away on business, and I have to take care of dinner by myself, so I usually settle dinner at that noodle restaurant.
Two months ago, when I was still savoring my 'pork liver noodles', a man named Hanako came in. No, it may not be called Hanako, how do you say that?
It is said that his name is Hanako, and that is because he is sloppy in his clothes, and there are some holes and patches in his clothes, and the shoes on his feet have a big hole, and the thumb of his big foot hangs on the outside without embellishment. But what is different is that he does not feel humbled by his clothes at all, but walks into the noodle shop proudly as if the leader of a certain country is coming. Squint, look around, sweep over all the people. And when he saw me, his eyes were fixed on me and he didn't move, and the thief's eyes stared at me and I felt uncomfortable.
I was just a little hairy boy who had not been deeply involved in the world, and I was a little scared, so I lowered my head and stopped looking at him, and I sped up the speed of eating noodles.
"Where did you come from, go and go, get out quickly, don't affect our business." The pastry guy saw him and walked up impatiently, trying to push him out the door. But it may be called Hanako's size, so she can't push it. And the name Hanako was not provoked because of this. A fist of coins was snatched from his tattered clothes. "Bang dangβ" he tossed some 5 cents and 1 cent coins on the table, "a portion of onion noodles," he shouted proudly.
Business must be done, and the pastry guy put away the coin and didn't continue to drive him away, so he went off.
After ordering the noodles, he staggered over to me and sat down, cocking Erlang's legs. "Little brother, by yourself?" Hanako's tone is not as inferior as just now, but it is because I am close.
"Yes...... Ah......h Although my answer was simple, my inner world was earth-shattering. Thinking of the way he looked at me, a thought drifted through my heart: I'll go, won't he be interested in me? This is also popular now called Hanako?......
After about 1 minute of silence, the noodle shop guy also handed over his 'scallion oil noodles'.
And then, something happened that I didn't expect.
He picked up the chopsticks very casually, and very casually held the chopsticks to hit the table twice to align, and finally picked up a piece of pork liver from my bowl and put it in his mouth very casually.
"Do I know him? Why does he eat my stuff? My heart was not only filled with fear, but also a trace of incomprehension. I slowly looked up at him, taking the opportunity to look at him as well. He chewed with his mouth, his thick lips were closed one by one, and his figure was indeed of the obese type, his hair was very long, sparse, and messy, and there were slight eye lines on his face, and he looked like he was in his early 40s. Under my gaze, he was eating with chopsticks in one hand and patting his legs with the other, and his legs were shaking frequently. "It tastes pretty good, no wonder you keep coming here for noodles."
What does this "no wonder" mean? Has he been watching me? Am I being targeted?
Inadvertently, driven by my N thoughts, my forehead was already covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and the beads of sweat slowly flowed down and fell into the noodle soup. Without thinking about it, I stood up all at once and prepared to flee the noodle shop.
At this moment, he was still eating noodles with his head down, holding chopsticks in one hand, but the hand that slapped his leg grabbed me at once: "Don't go, let's talk." β
Countless murdered teenagers in the news appeared in my mind, and I looked at him in horror: "Big brother, do we know each other?" β
"I don't know."
He was still eating noodles, but his hand still didn't let go.
"Is there something wrong with you, what are you talking about if you don't know each other?" Even though I'm a timid high school student, I can jump off a wall when my life is threatened.
"I don't know you, but I know your parents," he said, throwing a box-like object on the table.
This is a pack of "Double Happiness" cigarettes, which is usually my father's favorite cigarette.
"Throw a pack of cigarettes on the table and you say you know my parents?" I looked at him suspiciously......
"Why don't you open it and smoke one?" Unmoved by my aggressiveness, he still behaves leisurely.
"Then let's do it......" Just as I was about to answer him, I hurriedly withdrew my hand and crawled out of the noodle shop.
I looked back while running and was relieved to find that he hadn't chased him either. I secretly rejoiced in my heart how witty I was, or I would have suffered a misfortune.
However, on this day, Mom and Dad did not come back.
I've grown up so much that I don't know my parents' occupations, and every time I ask them, they always tell me differently. There are fishmongers, fruit sellers, restaurants, doctors, exaggerated archaeologists, ministers of state...... Seeing that they tried to cover it up, I didn't pursue it. I'm easily satisfied, as long as it's not murder and arson, and let me grow up alive. They often go to work in the evenings, and because I usually have to go to school in the morning, we don't usually see each other much except on weekends. But no matter how late or tired my mother was, she would make breakfast every day and put it on the table for me to eat. The day before, I was thinking that maybe they were too busy with work and had to work overtime, but this morning I suddenly found that there was no breakfast prepared for me on the table, and I suddenly felt uneasy......
And for a few days, the two of them were as if they had disappeared, and there was no news at all. And I called the police.
But
The police have still not been able to find out why. And I never gave up, I always felt that as long as it was one more day, they would come back.
Just two months later, I graduated from high school. (I don't know how I continued to face life in the past two months) attended the graduation ceremony.
I was on my way home.
When I saw this noodle restaurant that had been with me for a few years, I thought that I wouldn't have so many opportunities to eat here soon, so I walked in and wanted to try it once. Things here are pretty much the same as before, the boss is still the boss, the guy is still the guy.
But so much has changed around me.
While bowing my head and eating "pork liver noodles", I pondered: Where did my parents go, and who was the name Hanako that day? Is there a connection between their disappearance and him? Just when I was scratching my head, I saw a pair of chopsticks suddenly snatch a piece of pork liver from my bowl. I looked up and saw that it was the one called Hanako two months ago! My eyes widened, "Why are you here?" "I'm more concerned about my parents than about pork liver.
At this moment, the name Hanako is no longer called Hanako, wearing a coat like a coat during the Republic of China, with sparse long hair in a ponytail, and a pair of glasses, but her figure is still fat. It seems that he is simply a reader of the Republic of China who takes a non-mainstream route.
He clamped the pork liver into his mouth. looked at me, smiled slightly, threw a boxed object on the table with the other hand, and said while chewing the pork liver; "Smoke a cigarette."
It's still the box of double happiness.
Even though I don't know how to smoke, I opened the cigarette case at his invitation twice. As soon as I opened the cigarette case, I was stunned.
It was not filled with cigarettes, but a piece of jade pendant. This jade pendant is my father's jade pendant. On my 18th birthday, we went to find someone to make it custom. One piece on him, one piece on me. The two pieces are exactly one complete dragon-shaped jade pendant.
So this jade pendant is unique!
"How do you have this jade pendant", just like the TV series, I saw the jade pendant ask without thinking.
The "non-mainstream" of "follow me" answered the question, but put down the chopsticks and walked out of the store. Looking at his back, I was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to follow along? But seeing the half of the dragon-shaped jade pendant around my neck and the other half of the cigarette case, I took a step.
On the horse, my thoughts were swallowed up by the sound of traffic and horns on the road. I don't know what I'm thinking, after all, my parents have been missing for two weeks for no reason, and they are walking step by step with the "ponytail".
After a while, I was taken downstairs to my home.
Due to the confusion of my mind, I didn't realize that this was the direction of my home on the way.
And he, after a glance at me, walked into the building unhurriedly, raised his pigtails, turned to me and said, "My name is 'Lao Shang', and it was your parents who asked me to come to you, Lu Xing." β
