Chapter 9: Controversy
Zhao Village is located in the south of Xuanjian City, a place with simple folk customs. It has a long history and has beautiful natural features.
Unlike the city, there are no asphalt roads, no attractive advertising signs, just golden wheat fields on both sides of the road.
Now it is the time of farming, and the farmers are working hard in the fields, and the crystal sweat is shining in the sun.
Genma City is not big, and it is only more than 20 kilometers away from the city center. However, since Gray Hime is not skilled enough to control the dragon form, and she can't travel alone, she can only take a bus to get there.
It had been about an hour since I set off, and Gray Ji had already fallen asleep on the back of her seat, but I didn't have the slightest intention of sleeping.
"Well, on the one hand, I have to think about the task of the hypocrite, and on the other hand, I have to think about how to make a lot of money. I really don't know what to do. I muttered to myself, leaning my chin on the window with one hand as I looked outside.
Outside, the countryside has gradually taken on what it should look like, with low bungalows on both sides and rolling hills. Even the temperament of the pedestrians on the road is completely different from that in the city.
Because they often go to the ground, their skin is mostly dark. The older figure is already rickety, and the one who is about the same age as me still retains the shape of killing Matt. After all, the level of life is different, and the education received is not the same. But fortunately, most of the people here are enthusiastic and unscheming. The people who grew up in this natural area always evoke the most primitive memories.
My mood is much better because of these people, but it's just a little storm, and it's not a big deal!
"Zhaocun Station, it's here. Passengers who get off the bus should get off the bus through the back door. ”
Thinking of this, the arrival reminder of Zhaocun Station had already sounded. I quickly woke up Ash Ji and pulled her out of the car in a daze.
"Big brother, where is this?" asked Gray Hime, rubbing her sleepy eyes and speaking in an accent that hadn't woken up yet.
I touched her head and replied, "This is Zhao Village!"
In front of me was a dilapidated supermarket, and I just glanced at it, and now I don't have time to spend it. The most important thing now is to ask where the cemetery in Zhao Village is.
Next to the supermarket, a nondescript kebab shop called "Epiphany" managed to catch my attention. It is mostly a few idle guests, drinking delicious food and drinking small wine, while talking and talking about it. Here, it should be possible to ask something.
It's about ten o'clock, and it's not yet time for dinner, and there aren't many guests, but it's enough for me. I called the boss, ordered a few skewers, and sat down in a chair to taste it first. After all, people take food as their heaven, and if they don't satisfy their stomachs first, they can't do anything.
A few days ago, there was a car accident on that sugar heart road, two cars collided, and one of the cars was a family of four, and none of them were spared. The driver who caused the accident ran away at that time, and was immediately cleaned up by the police officer who was an elite disciple of the Cangxuanmen! That was really a great pleasure!" In the store, a shirtless young man took a sip of beer, slapped the table, and gestured with his hand, indicating the scene at that time, as if he was at the scene at the time.
Although this remark has nothing to do with the clues I want, I can hear the name of Officer Duan here, and it seems that this Broken Nian is quite famous, and he has to take care of the affairs here. I couldn't help but feel a little admiration for him, but only for a moment. When I think of his strange appearance before, the anger in my heart does not come to me.
On the other side, a man shaking a small wine glass looked drunk, he shook his head, and said to the person just now, "This...... A few days ago, the football stadium where the World Cup will be held in Genma City was ...... Ruined by that little TNND bunny, I just came back from there yesterday. Made, all my hard-earned money for a year has been invested!"
Hearing this, I subconsciously lowered my head.
"Eh, why do you look familiar?" the drunkard glanced in my direction, then lost consciousness and collapsed on the table.
I coughed dryly, pretended to be fine, picked up a skewer of lamb skewers and ate it with a "swoop".
The shirtless young man just now waved his hand disdainfully: "You are really not a good person, don't talk nonsense if you can't drink enough." No matter how big the football field is, can there be a big life? That's a car with four people, and no one will survive. He called out to the boss, "Another case of beer!"
No matter how big the football field is, can there be a big life? I love to hear this big brother!
The boss then moved another case of beer and placed it on the man's table, and the man skillfully opened the case, then took out a bottle of beer and knocked it lightly on the side of the table, and the cap was opened. He gulped down and drank, and then continued: "The most important thing is that after those four people were buried in the Zhaocun Cemetery, they disappeared!
In broad daylight, after the man finished speaking, it was like a gust of wind blowing, and everyone in the store felt a shiver behind them. Even the drunk guy shook his body to prove that he was still alive.
But I'm an atheist, and I uphold the materialist spirit of Marxism-Leninism, and there must be an initiator behind all this. And from what I learned from him, how do I feel that this broken police officer's mind is a little suspicious? How can anyone forcibly open someone's grave? This kind of way of doing things should not be done by a police officer.
I was about to ask for some details, but Ash Hime, who had been eating next to me, suddenly spoke: "Boss!
I was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered Gray Hime's mouth: "What are you doing! What are you doing all of a sudden, just know if it's good or not!"
"But this skewer really doesn't taste good!" said Ash Hime, pouting aggrievedly.
I put my hands on my forehead and waited helplessly for the bitter look on my boss's face.
There's nothing wrong with expressing your emotions openly, and we're customers, so we deserve to pay people what they deserve. But now our goal is not to taste the food, and I was just about to cut into the topic when Gray Hime took the lead away. At this time, the boss wiped his oil-stained hands with the apron in front of him, and walked over with a smile on his face, and asked with a guilty face: "I wonder what this little girl thinks is wrong with the taste? ”
This boss is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and he didn't compete with Gray Hime, so some bosses may not have such an attitude.
Ash Hime glanced at the ceiling, then licked her lips to savor the taste in her mouth, and then replied solemnly, "I don't know either." ”
"Uh......" The boss was a little embarrassed: "If you don't say it, then how can I improve it." My kebabs are a century-old brand, and there are many repeat customers, so don't smash our signboard here!"
I gently tugged Ash Ji under the table, signaling her to stop worrying about this, people have a small business, don't take it too seriously. But who knew that Gray Ji looked very serious when facing food.
"I can't say it, but I can make it for you. What I make is definitely better than what you make!" Ash has never been so confident, she usually hides behind me, but at this time she stepped forward.
The boss smiled, he looked around at the people who were looking forward to seeing the joke, and then said to Gray Hime: "That's what you said, I'll make the ingredients, you will be in charge of making it, and now all customers in the store can taste it for free." As long as they say a good word to you, I will, I will ......" The boss didn't know what to bet on, then glanced out the door and said, "I'll take off my own "epiphany" signboard for ten days!"
"Good Europe, good Europe!" The appetites of the surrounding customers were all adjusted, and the boss actually got into a fight with a little girl who didn't know what to fear, and this time there was a good show!
I covered my face, and the situation had completely developed in the other direction: "Gray Hime, Gray Hime, although your cooking skills are very good, but people are a century-old brand, can the ancestral recipe be bad? And the most important thing is that the current customers have long been half-full or even full, and people only have a desire to eat when they are hungry." If you fail, I won't be able to continue to inquire about the next clues, and I will waste time and lose face. It's worth the loss!"
I thought about it, but it had already happened, and I had to watch as Ash followed the boss into the kitchen. I also grabbed a bottle of beer and dipped it in a little alcohol for the first time in a long time.
For a while, the store was much quieter, and I didn't say much, everyone's thoughts were now on the next "God of Food Competition", and it would be unfortunate to say anything about the undead now.
Listening to the sound of barbecue in the kitchen, a smell of aroma came to my nose, but it was just me who felt fragrant. The others were already full, and there was no surprise on their faces, but they made the remark "This tastes like that."
I took another sip of wine, and I didn't know when the barbecue would be served.
I never felt that the time for barbecue was so long, in the past, I used to wait while holding my phone to swipe through the circle of friends, watch short videos, or play games for a while, time is nothing to me. According to the theory of relativity, it's only because I have something to do, so I feel that time flies.
But my phone is out of battery, because of a series of farces, my phone is always turned off, and I don't even have the opportunity to rent a power bank. There is no such high-tech equipment in the countryside here, and now I am a salted fish. I looked at the ceiling for a moment, looked at the beer in my hand for a moment, shook my legs, and then stood up and stretched. It turns out that it takes that long to make skewers?
Finally, the scent was slowly brought out of the kitchen, and a smell of fragrance came to my nose. Ash Hime holds a dinner plate full of skewers. There are both meat and vegetables, and almost every type is included.
And next to Ash Hime, is the boss's depressed face. He seems to have tasted the craftsmanship of Gray Hime, and he must have been amazed. However, it is difficult to reconcile the mouths, and whether it can meet the requirements of customers is still debatable.
