The backyard of Heshun Yang Soup House is lit up, and a large table is set up in the middle of the courtyard.

It's been a long time since the grave team has tasted this authentic mutton soup, except for Hu Dabao's who likes to drink and drink, everyone else eats and drinks mutton soup honestly. Xiao Qi can only drink some soup, he doesn't dare to fish for the mutton inside to eat, because this Xiao Qi has almost never eaten meat since he was a child, and he is not allowed to eat such a big thing as oily, and it is delicious when he eats, but after eating overnight, the stomach is not his own, and he has to squat in the pit all night, and all of them are dehydrated. So Lao Wu paid attention, and ordered the shopkeeper to cook a bowl of white noodles in advance, and the white noodles were boiled noodles in clear water without any seasonings, so he took the white noodles and put them in the mutton soup to eat, and the taste was also good.

Some hungry stomachs have hot mutton soup in them, and when they are full, they have to drink and talk about what they should say for the meal.

Lao Wu put down his chopsticks, picked up the bowl and made a bowl, Hu Da was making trouble, and suddenly saw Lao Wu's posture, glared and said, "Oops! Lao Wu is bright today! Wait for me, let's go with the two of us! ”

After Hu Dabao finished speaking, he went to fill himself with wine, helped Lao Wu fill a bowl, and grinned: "Come on, let's go one!" ”

Lao Wu looked down at the wine bowl on the table, and suddenly looked at Xu Xiaolin sideways and said, "Brother Xu can drink bars?" How about a few of us? ”

No one expected Lao Wu to have a wine with Xu Xiaolin, not only was they a little surprised, but the atmosphere was quite embarrassing just now, and besides, people are different from them, how can they clink glasses and drink with them, and besides, they still use bowls.

Hu Dawei stretched out his hand and touched Lao Wu, and whispered to him: "Don't make trouble! People are officials, how can they touch bowls with us ordinary people. ”

But Xu Xiaolin picked up the empty bowl on the table and stretched it out in front of Hu Dabi. opened his mouth and said: "Trouble Second Brother Hu to serve a bowl of wine, our brothers have to go one resolutely!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, everyone unconsciously looked at him, Hu Dazhu was stunned for a moment, then took the empty bowl to fill him with wine, and handed it back. He also smiled and said, "Oops! Brother, wouldn't it be good if you were like this earlier, why bother pretending to be on this dinner table for so long, I don't even know how to talk to you when I'm scared, isn't this a trouble! ”

Then Xu Xiaolin really walked with Lao Wu and Hu Dabao, and his face was slightly red after drinking, but his expression did not change, and he looked at them quietly, and the light in his eyes could not be seen through.

Hu Dabao drank it and toasted one by one in a circle. When it was the turn of the blind man, Hu Dawei tossed him hard. After the blind man was forced to drink a bowl of wine, Hu Dabao said that he had leaked too much and had to have another bowl. Blind Langzhong had no choice but to drink again, and then Hu Dazhu was stunned and said that he was drinking fast, and he had to come again, and finally drank Blind Langzhong under the table, and his face arched on the ground and said nonsense.

Lao Wu noticed that Xu Xiaolin was eating and left for a while. But it didn't take long to come back again, sitting as usual. He didn't speak, just looked at them quietly. Although Lao Wu was talking and drinking nonsense with his brothers, his eyes were always on Xu Xiaolin, and it was very uncomfortable to sit next to a person who didn't know how low, he should have eaten and drunk happily, but Lao Wu felt a little awkward in his heart.

It's not too early, and it's almost time to eat and drink. The sheep soup restaurant has also been waiting for their last table. Lao Wu was a little dazed, holding half a bowl of wine and panting and said to the others: "Okay, let's go after eating!" ”

After listening to Lao Wu's words, everyone got up, drank too much and helped each other to go out through the back door. Lao Wu picked up Hu Da's clothes and was about to go to the shopkeeper to settle the bill, but the shopkeeper said that the money had already been given, and it was the young public security who calculated it.

When Lao Wu heard this, he quickly turned his head to look for Xu Xiaolin, but there was no one in the courtyard anymore, and they all went out, so he chased out after saying hello to the shopkeeper.

The small alley composed of old houses is straight and narrow, the sky is relatively dark, and he can't see anything clearly, Lao Wu walked out of the back door and couldn't figure out the direction, looking at the darkness everywhere around, and there was no movement, he also drank a lot and forgot what direction he came from, and was looking everywhere, and suddenly saw a figure flashing on the right, which was white and looked like the color of Xu Xiaolin's public security uniform.

Lao Wu raised his hand and rubbed his eyes a few times, and when he looked over there again, it was gone, and it seemed that he had gone away. Just about to find Xu Xiaolin, Lao Wu hurriedly caught up, because tonight it was mainly their brothers and blind men who drank mutton soup together, but Xu Xiaolin released him in advance, so he invited him to come with him. But I didn't expect that Xu Xiaolin would be counted before this meal, this old Wu didn't want to go on face, mainly because he didn't want to have more contact with him, so he wanted to return it to him before dinner tonight.

Running out along the small alley is quite far, and I encountered a fork in the road, behind which is a dark and silent alley, and in front of me is an old house, which looks like it is some years old, and the outer door is half missing, and you can see the dilapidated and desolate scene inside when you stand outside.

Lao Wu was a little puzzled and thought, "That's not right! Where did you go? Brothers should be walking from the street, probably won't come here, and I haven't heard of any shortcuts here? ”

After feeling that something was wrong, Lao Wu felt that he might have been dazzled at the time, and mistakenly thought something white for Xu Xiaolin in a public security uniform, with dilapidated houses in the old residential area on both sides, and it seemed that he couldn't get out, so he planned to go back.

As a result, the moment Lao Wu turned around, he saw the white in the corner of his eye, and he was shocked and immediately turned his head to look, but there was nothing.

At this time, some cool night breeze blew along the alley, blowing Lao Wu shivered, he remembered that he had heard people say before, the old house that no one lived in would be dilapidated and the roof would collapse within a few years, and this kind of house was extremely cloudy and particularly prone to strange things.

Lao Wu Ben was not small, but when he was alone near this kind of deserted house where there was no one to live in, he unconsciously thought of those things that were out of reach, and began to scare himself, and after laughing a few times, he raised his legs and walked back quickly.

The narrow alley is made up of countless houses connected to each other, and a small back window appears on both sides every few steps. Some of them are so high that you can't see the edges of the windows, while others are so low that you can even see the old furnishings of the house from the outside.

Every time I pass by the back window, Lao Wu is scared, always afraid that there is something like a human head on the windowsill, the more afraid he is, the more he feels that he can't go out of the alley, with this frightened mood, Lao Wu lowered his head and didn't look at those windows, gritted his teeth and walked quickly. But he suddenly noticed that there was a window in front of him that had glass on it, which was relatively rare in this dilapidated house in the old residential area, because glass was still relatively expensive at that time, and no one lived in this kind of place for many years, how could there be still intact glass windows?

With a hint of confusion, Lao Wu got closer and closer to the window, but when he got closer, he found that the glass was not intact, only half the size was left in the window frame, and there were still a lot of scattered broken glass on the ground. When Lao Wu raised his eyes from the broken glass on the ground, he suddenly found that there was his own reflection in half of the glass, and there was a person behind him! (To be continued......)
