Chapter 59: Closing the Door
To be on the safe side, before going out at night, I had a peachwood sword on my back, and Chen Jiayan's backpack was a little more bulging than usual.
And Ji Canghai followed behind without saying a word, always fiddling with the half of the hemp rope in his hand.
When I arrived at the funeral street, my heart was beating faster and faster, and I had a faint premonition that it was not good.
I said to Ji Canghai behind me, "Don't be impulsive for a while, don't start fighting at every turn."
However, there was no response from behind.
I looked back and he was standing around the corner of the street, his hands fumbling for something in his pockets.
Chen Jiayan and I exchanged glances, and then turned back.
I took a closer look, there was a small man named Hanako squatting on the side of the street, and Ji Canghai was standing face to face with him.
He was holding a hundred-dollar bill, his joints slightly white, and a hint of embarrassment on his face.
I asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ji Canghai shook the money in his hand: "He didn't have any change to find me."
His voice was small, but he could still hear the embarrassment.
After a pause, he leaned over to me again and whispered, "After buying the cemetery, I have no money."
"But look at him, how pitiful."
I made him laugh and cry and take change from a beggar, which was the first time I had heard of it.
I went up and down, and I didn't have any cash on me.
"Tsk."
Ji Canghai stomped his feet, leaned over and put the money directly into the bowl called Hanako: "It's all for you."
After saying that, he turned around and left, but the pain on his face was obvious.
Chen Jiayan pursed her lips and snickered a few times: "He's quite interesting."
Boss Wang's funeral shop lit up the lanterns early, and there was a row of paper people on the front teeth, men, women and children, dressed in colorful colors.
At a cold glance, it is indeed a bit infiltrating.
Ji Canghai looked at the paper man in front of the door, and his face was not so good-looking.
"For a moment, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive."
Ji Canghai's face was stunned, and then he nodded slowly.
Chen Jiayan opened the door first, and walked in slowly.
As soon as I looked up at the door, I was scared.
The dwarf, dressed in a red cloth shirt, sat cross-legged on the counter, two baby-sized hands twisting rosaries and tilting their heads to the door.
Chen Jiayan pretended to be calm and took the lead in saying hello: "Boss Wang."
"You're bringing outsiders with you?"
He raised his eyebrows, obviously a little upset.
Chen Jiayan hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, this is all your own person."
Boss Wang grinned and looked me up and down: "So, you're all together?"
"Yes, yes."
Boss Wang put the rosary on the wing of his nose and rubbed it, tilting his head to look at me: "It's hard for you to please?"
"No, no......"
I hurriedly finished talking, but I always felt that it sounded a little awkward.
He didn't answer, picked up the remote control in his hand, and pressed it gently.
"Click-la-la-......"
Behind me, the roller shutters and window gates slowly descended until they closed completely.
The whole room seemed to be a cage.
I have a vague feeling that we are trapped beasts in a cage.
Ji Canghai suddenly stood forward, and as soon as I stretched out my hand to block him behind, I gave him a look.
Immediately, I swept my gaze to the counter: "Boss Wang, what do you mean by this?"
"It's not interesting, I'll take you to meet a few friends."
After saying that, he moved, jumped off the counter, straddled his legs, and staggered into the room.
Sure enough, tonight wasn't easy.
I looked back at the big locked iron door, and my heart was calmer.
In any case, whether it is Longtan or Tiger's Den in front, you have to break through!
Before leaving, I pinched Ji Canghai lightly and asked in a low voice.
"What's the matter with you? Why do you want to do it again?"
Ji Canghai looked down at his fist: "I'm sorry, I, I'm reflexive."
"What do you mean?"
"Oops."
Ji Canghai put his hand in his pocket: "I'll tell you when I go back."
I sighed and said, "You are at the back, I'm in the front, and I sandwiched her in the middle."
He nodded vigorously, vaguely with a hint of attribution.
"Good, good! You can rest assured. There won't be a problem!"
The three of us walked in with Boss Wang, and the room was very dark and there was no light.
If it weren't for Boss Wang holding a flashlight, I wouldn't have stepped on him.
Although the line of sight is poor, I can feel the crampedness of the space with the touch of my hands.
I tugged at my collar and vaguely felt a little cramped......
