Chapter 52: Yellow Spring Noodles
Luo Baichuan is a professional liar, and when he first started doing this business, he was terrified, for fear that the victim would report to the Public Security Bureau, and as soon as there was a disturbance, he immediately hid to avoid the limelight.
With this cautiousness, he has gradually become familiar with the road, and his deception has become more and more sophisticated.
But I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.
After all, the matter was pierced through the window paper, and under the wanted of the Ganjiang Provincial Public Security Bureau, Luo Baichuan could not survive in his home province, and fled to Huizhou to change his identity and continue to beg for a living.
Just after the early spring, the chill is gone, and even in the evening, there is only a little spring breeze, and it is not cold.
In the streets and alleys of the small towns of Huizhou at dinner time, the fireworks in the world are more intense than those in the big cities, and the crowds of people are surging in twos and threes, and the hawkers on both sides of the street are bustling and hawking, and they are relaxed and happy.
"Hehe, it's another 500 yuan, the people here are just as stupid as the ones at home."
Luo Baichuan shuttled through the crowd, his hands kept groping in his pockets, and he was so excited that he refused to take it out.
That's what he's getting today.
"Scatter your wealth and have a good meal in the evening." Smelling the tempting aroma on both sides of the street, Luo Baichuan was hungry, and immediately decided to indulge in extravagance and treat himself.
Walking into a small noodle restaurant that is quite broken, don't look at him broken, but there are surprisingly many people.
Luo Baichuan saw that the house was overcrowded, only the small low table in front of the store was empty, and as soon as he sat down, a woman in her forties and fifties came over, poured him a cup of boiling water, and then asked: "Young man, what kind of noodles to eat, our family can cook anything." ”
"What's your face?" Luo Baichuan wiped the table, there was no trace of dust, it seemed that this store loved cleanliness, and then smiled: "Boss, your house is very clean." ”
The proprietress smiled and introduced the types of noodles in her house.
It doesn't matter what you hear, there are really many patterns, what sheep soup noodles, haggis noodles, fat intestine noodles... It's all available, and the price is from low to high.
After finishing speaking, the proprietress saw that Luo Baichuan was struggling, but she didn't rush, threw down a noodle list and went in to greet the other guests.
"The proprietress didn't seem to say it just now..."Luo Baichuan took the noodle sheet and looked at it carefully, the noodles just mentioned were basically on the list, only the top of the list had a line of red characters written in large red characters 'Huangquan Noodles' that was not said.
"Boss, I want a bowl of Huangquan noodles." Luo Baichuan said to the proprietress .
The proprietress was slightly stunned, the smile on her face stopped for a moment, and the eyes that looked at Luo Baichuan were quite strange.
"What are you going to eat? I just didn't hear it. ”
"A bowl of yellow spring noodles." Luo Baichuan pointed to the red font on the face sheet and said again.
"Okay, I'll give it to you personally." After the proprietress got the confirmation, she walked into the back kitchen with a smile as if she was looking at a peerless treasure.
"It's just a bowl of noodles, smiling so happily."
After a while, the proprietress brought a bowl of noodles with a smile and put it in front of him: "It's hot, eat it slowly." ”
Luo Baichuan looked at this bowl of oily 'ghost noodles', and inhaled it vigorously with his nose, well, it was very fragrant. Then he couldn't wait to gobble it up, and Luo Baichuan swore that this was the best noodle he had ever tasted.
He couldn't believe that such a dilapidated noodle restaurant could make such a delicious floor, and he pulled the bottom of the bowl with chopsticks as he ate, thinking that there could be some illegal drugs in this noodle. But when I think about it, so many people in the store are eating, it's impossible, a bowl of noodles is only a few dollars, and the cost of putting things in the ground can't be recovered.
"Young man, how do the noodles taste?" The proprietress has not taken a step since Luo Baichuan ate it, just sat at the door and stared at him, and Luo Baichuan was about to finish eating, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Hiccup ~ delicious!" Luo Baichuan gave a thumbs up and praised, and asked, "How much is this, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
"Don't need money, this noodle is a new product, and there are not many people who eat it, so you should try it and give me advice."
The proprietress waved her hand and said with a smile, "Remember what you said, you must come tomorrow." ”
Where did Luo Baichuan pay attention to this, when he heard that he didn't want money, he just perfunctory, and even said, "No problem".
Satisfied, he got up and left, suddenly remembering that he didn't know the name of this noodle restaurant, and turned his head to look at the signboard on the door-Eight Desires.
"What a strange name." Luo Baichuan muttered a word and left.
The people inside were still full, as if they had never left.
-------------------------------------
A week has passed in a blink of an eye, Luo Baichuan feels that he has been very unlucky recently, and the few customers he had targeted before inexplicably stopped paying attention to him, and it was useless to do his best.
These days, my spirit is also very poor, I can't sleep at night, I finally fall asleep, and I always have some strange dreams.
In the dream, the bitter lord who had been deceived before chased him hard in the dream and asked him to pay back the money, and the face of the bitter lord who chased after him turned into a blue-faced fang, which was extremely terrifying, and the word 'pay back' also became 'return the money'. ’
When he got up in the morning, he sometimes found that his door was not closed, which made him suspect that his home had been burglarized.
It's another late night,
Others were already asleep, but Luo Baichuan had already woken up, turned his head to look at the few gross tickets left on the bedside table, and sighed leisurely, that's all? The thief came in and probably had to throw him two.
Money is hard to make, is hard to eat, this truth will not change through the ages.
"Alas.... I can be hungry when I sleep, how can I eat so much lately. Luo Baichuan got out of bed and prepared to go to the night market to have a look.
The old people often say that if they don't come home at half past two at night, it's always good. This is not nonsense.
This is a very fucked up time, the ancient time of the Dragon Kingdom was timed by the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, and this is the case with Zi Chou Yinmao, each hour is converted to twenty-four hours, and two to four o'clock in the night is the ugly hour.
The most cloudy and evil time of the day.
The pitch-black environment outside the house made Luo Baichuan's extremely sleepy nerves tense again, because he always felt that since he went out, something seemed to follow him.
No breathing, no footsteps, it's just a feeling, like a thorn in the back.
Luo Baichuan turned his head suddenly, looked at the dark alleyway behind him, held his breath, and listened carefully.
He believed that any slight sound would be heard in the alleyway.
"It seems that I am too careful."
Luo Baichuan was amused by himself, thinking that he was getting older, and he had done too much to worry about, and he would be suspicious when he walked at night.
"Let's go to that noodle restaurant and eat it, it tastes good."
Thinking of the bowl of noodles he ate a week ago, Luo Baichuan's stomach growled.
The place where I live is not far from the noodle shop, but the location of the noodle shop is relatively remote, and I don't know which corner I turned into last time, no matter how Luo Baichuan looks for it this time, I just can't find it.
"Young man, are you looking for a noodle shop?"
The female voice that suddenly sounded behind him startled Luo Baichuan, and when he looked back, it was the proprietress of the noodle restaurant he was looking for.
"Where is your noodle restaurant, I haven't found it for a long time." Luo Baichuan hurriedly asked.
"It's over there." The proprietress stared at Luo Baichuan and smiled, pointing behind him.
The noodle shop on the street is still full, and it is as full as the last time I came, but Luo Baichuan is very strange, he seems to have passed by there just now, right?
"Let's go!"
"Hmm!"
Luo Baichuan didn't doubt him, he just thought that he had just taken the wrong path, and he shouldn't have passed over there.
Seeing that there was still no place for himself inside, he had no choice but to sit on the small table at the door again.
"What to eat?" The hostess was very enthusiastic and asked with a smile.
"It's still Huangquan noodles, and that's the taste in my heart." Luo Baichuan licked his lips, and his mouth was full of relish.
This time it was even faster than last time, and in just a minute or two, the noodles were served.
It's still a familiar taste, it's still a familiar texture.
"I remember what you said last time, you came the next day, why didn't you come."
"Huh? Oooh. There are so many things that I forgot. Luo Baichuan's mouth was stuffed with noodles, and he was perfunctory at will.
Suddenly, I bit a hard place in my mouth, and I used my tongue to taste it, which was meat and bones!
"Young man, do you want to eat it slowly?"
"Yes, this table is too low, and it's uncomfortable to eat." The proprietress made Luo Baichuan hurriedly look inside the store, it was still full, and no one wanted to leave.
"It's okay, I'm almost done eating, I'll come early next time."
Luo Baichuan spit out the bones in his mouth, turned his head and smiled.
Suddenly, the air around him quickly became cold, and Luo Baichuan, who was sitting outside, instantly felt as if he was in the middle of ice and snow.
The proprietress behind her smiled weirdly, her facial features gradually squeezed together, her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth were about to bend to the height of her nose.
Extremely terrifying!
"Yo, there's still a piece of meat, the proprietress is very generous today."
Luo Baichuan didn't notice the change behind him, the delicate meat and bones in his mouth were accompanied by the noodle soup, and the taste was very beautiful.
"Phew!"
Luo Baichuan screamed, looking at the bones on the table, his eyes were about to pop out.
"! What is it! ”
Spit out a finger by yourself, a finger that has no flesh and has completely turned into a bone!
The boss lady behind her smiled strangely, and slammed on Luo Baichuan's shoulder, grinning with a big mouth sticking out her pitch-black tongue, which was full of mucus.
Just licked Luo Baichuan's face and said:
"Of course my noodles are delicious, it's your meat cooked! It's so delicious, you can just go in and eat it with them. ”
"Ahh
.....
Headquarters of Huizhou Public Security Bureau
Now it's already a mess inside, and everyone is busy walking through with thick materials in their hands.
"What does the Inspection Division say?"
For the first time, Sun An felt that the position of the chief of the security bureau was like a talisman, and the chair under his buttocks was more like a needle felt.
Looking at the mountains of materials on the table, he seemed to be drained of energy, and asked the secretary behind him.
"The inspection department said that this kind of thing needs to be helped by the Taoist sect and the Zen sect." The secretary didn't dare to raise his head and stammered.
In just half a month, more than 20 people have died mysteriously in Wengu City, Huizhou.
Everyone died on the same street at different times, without a trace of flesh and skin on their bodies, just a skeleton of Bai Sensen.
"Look for it! Still standing here!"
"Smack!"
Sun An was furious and swept the materials off the table.
"But, Daomen said... said..."The secretary hesitated for a long time, and Sun An, who listened to it, was extremely impatient, "If there is a fart, let it go!" Say what! ”
"They said that if they want us to ask the little heavenly master of the Dao Sect to help, no one else will make a move."
"What about Zen?" Sun An struggled to suppress the anger in his heart and continued to ask.
"That's what Zen means, let's ask the Buddha for help." The secretary said.
"! A group of old bald donkeys, old cow noses, if you don't want to, say you don't want to, what kind of little heavenly master, Buddha! Get lost. ! ”
Sun An was furious, and then collapsed on the chair weakly, and called back the secretary who wanted to escape: "Ask the inspection department, where are the Zen Buddha and the little heavenly master of Daomen." ”
The secretary was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and quickly flipped through the notebook in his hand, and after finding the address, he whispered:
"Chief, they are all in the special recruitment training camp of the Jiangnan Provincial Inspection Division!"
Sun An's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered:
"Please!"
