Chapter 34 The Legend of the Mermaid (1)
When I woke up, it was already night, and I dragged my tired body to slowly get up from the bed and reach for the cup on the table.
The cold water flowed down the throat and into the stomach, which had some refreshing function, and the stomach was surging back and forth, causing bouts of mild stomach pain. I stood in front of the window and watched the busy street scene outside, and I couldn't help but attach my hand to the glass, and the cold touch quickly spread from my fingertips to every corner of my body.
"Shen Yi, wake up soon, we're ready to go out."
Ina's voice came up from downstairs, and I immediately came back to my senses and responded, "Okay, wait for me." β
I quickly went downstairs after pricking a pill on my head and washing my face, and said in my heart that I could finally make Ina bleed this time, and inviting my uncle to dinner is equivalent to inviting me to dinner, and I can't be absent from this kind of thing.
Ina threw the car keys to me: "Automatic, you can drive it." β
I raised my eyebrows and saw Ina's careful thoughts: "Yes, I'll be a driver for you two for free." β
Ina folded her hands and leaned on my ear and bit her ear: "Help, let me sit in the back seat with your uncle, I haven't been in love for a year." β
I looked puzzled and whispered, "Why didn't I know you were in love a year ago?" β
Ina just wanted to explain to me, but the uncle behind her suddenly coughed: "Are you still going?" If I don't go, I'll go out and eat by myself. β
"Go, go, the car is at the door." Ina smiled and pointed out the door, then patted me on the back and turned her head to whisper, "I'll talk about it later." β
I opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat fiddling with my mobile phone, and suddenly heard Ina coughing loudly in the back seat, and then turned my head to see the uncle sitting in the co-pilot, I pretended to be calm and smiled: "Let's go." β
Looking at the rearview mirror, Ina's angry face couldn't help laughing. Ina changed her expression instantly, smiled and asked me, "What is so funny?" β
"Nothing, nothing." I looked at Ina's face in the rearview mirror and waved my hand, "I just remembered a joke." Oops, it's so funny, it's going to make me laugh. β
Unexpectedly, the next second, the uncle turned to look at me and asked, "What joke?" Let's hear about it. β
My expression froze on my face at once, and Ina's flood of laughter suddenly came from the back seat, and she patted me on the shoulder while laughing: "
"I'm driving." I coughed lightly twice and straightened up, "I'll tell you two later, I haven't driven for a long time, you have to concentrate." β
Ina sat in the back seat and kept laughing, and I caught a glimpse of my uncle with my peripheral vision, and I also raised the corners of my mouth, patted the steering wheel and rolled my eyes, and said in my heart that I Shen Yi endured it for a meal.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw the four big words "Shidian Hotel", and immediately understood what the hell Ina had in mind. This restaurant is her little Qi Chen's family business, and a few years ago, she often took me to eat, but the taste of this meal is good, but the price is a little unsatisfactory.
"This is a restaurant opened by my small family, and it will take hundreds of years to pass it down to his generation." Ina explained while leading the way, "I don't usually go to this kind of restaurant to eat, but the food here tastes really good. β
Uncle followed me without saying a word, and I lowered my voice and whispered in my uncle's ear: "The food here is really delicious, and Ina used to bring me here to eat." β
Uncle looked at me with a smile, and Ina turned around and saw us whispering and immediately said, "Refuse to form a small group." β
A hostess at the front desk saw us and asked, "Miss, which private room have you booked?" β
Ina waved her hand: "No appointment." With that, he continued to walk inside.
"Miss, we don't accept individual visitors here." Miss Hostess stopped us again, "Miss, you can make an appointment for next week now, but we don't accept casual visitors. β
Ina was obviously impatient, so I immediately stopped her and stepped forward to say to Miss Manners, "What about Xiaoru? The front desk sister before. β
Miss Manners hurriedly said, "She has been on vacation recently. β
"Oh, Oh." I patted Ina on the shoulder, picked up the phone, dialed Qi Chen's phone, chatted for a few words, handed the phone to Miss Manners, and motioned for her to answer the phone.
Miss Etiquette picked up the mobile phone and said a few words, her face changed instantly, and she returned the mobile phone to me: "Miss, I'm really sorry just now, I didn't know that you were a friend of Boss Qi, Boss Qi specially prepared a special private room and meals for you, please here." β
Ina smiled and saw her: "It's okay, I don't blame you, it was Xiaoru who entertained us before." β
Miss Manners politely apologized and left.
I looked around, and as soon as I entered the door, on the right hand side was an antique wall, with all kinds of antiques that I couldn't tell the dynasty to name were illuminated in a glass cover, and there were rows of solid wood tables and chairs on each side. The antique dΓ©cor is really refreshing, and the smell of money is everywhere.
There is a screen in front of it, behind the screen is a large round table that can sit more than 20 people, the most shocking thing is that the wall behind the screen is actually expanded back, which is full of bamboo, and the bottom floor tile is also installed with dry ice smoke, sitting down as if you are in the bamboo fairyland. I finally understand why the food here is so expensive, but I've never been to such a luxurious private room when Ina brought me here to eat before.
Ina pulled out a chair and sat down and asked, "What's going on?" β
I nodded, "Not bad." β
Uncle sat next to me and drank water without saying a word, I picked up the menu on the table, and suddenly looked at Ina with wide eyes: "A plate of shredded potatoes costs two hundred and ninety-nine?" Black shop, this doesn't meet the market sales price standard. β
Ina nodded very calmly: "Please sister, take a look at the decoration here, where I'm sorry for the two hundred and ninety-nine, I think it's a discount if I don't add that dollar." β
"Yes." I nodded to myself, "It's been dark for more than a hundred years, and if something happens, something will happen sooner." β
"That's right, uncle." Ina looked at her uncle while eating, "I wonder why I was possessed, not Shen Yi?" Is it like in the TV series, is Shen Yi's eight characters hard? β
Uncle shook his head: "I forgot to tell you, Cortana, you delete the video you recorded in the warehouse." In the future, no matter where you are, as long as there are photos of the deceased, mourning halls, or cemeteries, do not take pictures, this is a great disrespect to the deceased, and it is because of this that you are possessed. β
Ina nodded suddenly: "I know." By the way, uncle, what's your real name? We can't even know your name. β
Uncle swallowed the food in his mouth and looked up at the two of us: "Chang Sheng." β
"Forever." Ina looked at her uncle with a grin, "This name is so special." β
I casually glanced at my uncle and said with a smile: "I also know a man named Chang Sheng, a fortune teller in our village in my hometown, who seems to be a distant relative of our family, my mother said that when I was scared when I was a child, I went to find this person, but I was spiritual." β
The uncle was very indifferent and sandwiched the dishes: "That's me." β
Ina almost squirted the rice out of her mouth: "What? β
"Don't tease me, call you uncle, you really think you're a lot older than us." I didn't care about eating while joking, "Just you have a twenty-six or seven face, who can believe it." Anyway, the one in our village is over 60, and that's from my grandfather's generation. β
The uncle still lowered his head to eat, but there was no joke in his words: "That person is me." β
Ina was so shocked that she stammered, "You're not going to get old?" β
The uncle stopped eating and sniffed: "Secret." β
