I asked the Mr. Zhao, "Is this the noodle house?"
Mr. Zhao said, "Aren't you a university student? You don't recognize such a large character? "
I looked up and saw that there was a black signboard with the word "noodle restaurant" written on it.
Through the two open doors, I could see a few people inside. They didn't look like people at all. I'm a little resistant to places like this.
I always felt that the room was full of dead people, and that I was the only one alive and out of the ordinary. It's hard to guess the thoughts of those wraiths. Even if the Lady Boss didn't harm me, there might be some evil spirits that want to plot against me. As the saying goes, those who are not of my race will have a different mind.
Thus, I turned around and said to Mr. Zhao, "Why don't you go in my place, I won't go."
Mr. Zhao said, "Are you joking? Isn't that your business? Do you want us to run errands for you? "
I said with a dry laugh, "Aren't we relatives? Your business is my business. "
Mr. Zhao laughed: "Are you not clear about whether we are relatives or not?"
I am very depressed. Usually when there are benefits, you are my relative.
Mr. Zhao took out a stack of paper money and handed it over to me. "Take this."
I didn't want to answer. "What is this?
Mr. Zhao said, "Use this to pay after eating the noodles later."
I thought: I almost forgot, this is a noodle shop after all. Enemies need money to eat noodles. I wish I had a chance to spend it.
The Mr. Zhao said, "Alright, let's go. If you dawdle any longer, the Lady Boss will be angry. "
I could only agree and follow Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin in.
The inside of the noodle store was very cold, not like the world's cold, but cold. It felt like being in a mortuary, sending chills down one's spine from the bones to the flesh.
Just as I entered the noodle house, the wooden door behind me slammed shut with a bang.
I turned my head back in a panic. Through the gap in the door, I discovered that the tomb outside was no longer the same tomb as before. I'm not even sure if this is human or not.
Mr. Zhao pulled me back and said, "Eldest Nephew, calm down. Don't embarrass me. Look at how calm I am. "
I thought: You've already been here once. Of course you're calm.
We found a corner away from the lights. The place was dark, and we were mostly in shadow, and I liked the feeling of invisibility.
The customers around me were eating noodles, as if they hadn't noticed me, which made me feel a lot more at ease. Then I began to observe them secretly, wanting to see where Grandpa Gu was.
In the end, I looked around and realized that there was no Grandpa Gu here. My heart tightened. Could it be that I was tricked again?
While I was looking for Grandpa Gu, I suddenly saw a woman sitting not far away. The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had her elbows on the table and her chin in her palms. Her eyes were slightly upwards as she stared blankly at the ceiling.
She seemed to sense that I was looking at her. She turned and smiled at me, and a lock of hair fell from her ear, covering half her face.
While I was engrossed in my gaze, Mr. Zhao reached out his hand and waved it in front of my eyes. "Hehehe, my eyeballs are about to fall out."
I snapped out of my daze and hastily retracted my gaze.
The Mr. Zhao came over and asked me quietly, "How is it? Isn't that tempting? "
Xia Xin looked at the two of us with disdain. I coughed and said righteously, "Yeah …" "It's okay, it's okay."
"You have pretty high standards, don't you?" A soft voice whispered in my ear, and when I looked back, I saw it was the woman.
My face was a little flushed.
Mr. Zhao said to the woman: "Three bowls of noodles."
The woman replied, then turned around and left. As she left, she even smiled at me.
My head was spinning as I said to Mr. Zhao, "She is the boss lady?"
Mr. Zhao replied, "Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me? Also, didn't you say that the Lady Boss was wearing revealing clothes? Why didn't I see it? "
Mr. Zhao said, "You don't understand. There are some people who are so flirtatious that even if they wore clothes they would not be able to cover it. The Lady Boss only revealed one hand, so you would think of her white arms, her shoulders, and … Cough cough. Anyway, she's pretty exposed in your imagination. Eldest Nephew, tell me the truth, is she really that charming? "
I helplessly nodded. "That's right, that's right."
"Thank you." There was another soft voice in his ears.
I was startled to find that the Lady Boss had come back at an unknown time. In his hand was a large plate with an oil lamp and three bowls of noodles.
The soup noodles were placed in front of us, and the oil lamp was placed in the middle of the table. The Lady Boss turned around and was about to leave when her expression suddenly changed. She picked up the oil lamp and shone it in front of me.
My heart thumped as I silently prayed. I definitely can't be that sinful past life.
The Lady Boss only took two shots before putting down the oil lamp. She smiled and asked me, "What's your name?"
I could clearly feel that my smile this time was different from the last two times. I whispered: "My name is Hu Dali."
Mr. Zhao spat out a mouthful of broth.
I angrily said, "Second uncle, what are you doing?"
After saying that, I pointed at Mr. Zhao and said, "This is my second uncle. You don't think we look alike? But we are related. "Haha, it's not normal for him to be here since he was young."
The Lady Boss faintly replied with an "oh" before asking me, "Where are you from?"
I casually said: "I am from Cypress City."
These names of mine are all fake. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If I was really that person's reincarnation, I could use it to disturb the Lady Boss's line of sight.
The Lady Boss was clearly a bit puzzled. She frowned. "What day is your birthday?"
I refused to answer and said with a dry laugh, "Why do you ask about birthdays? What if it's my birthday? "
The Lady Boss smiled. "If it's your birthday today, this bowl of noodles will be your longevity noodles. I won't charge you money."
My hair stood on end as I listened. "No, no, no, I still have to pay."
Not only do I have to give it to her, I immediately take out the money and hand it to her.
The Lady Boss gently pushed my money back. "This is the rule. You can only pay after eating noodles."
After eating the noodles, who knows if you want money or your life?
Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin were both very calm and did not have the slightest bit of loyalty. They were eating their noodles, and occasionally they looked up from their work to listen to my conversation with the landlady.
The Lady Boss said to me, "Don't you eat noodles? It's not gonna taste good when it gets cold. "
I stammered, "Eat, eat right away."
I slowly picked up the chopsticks as I calculated in my mind. When the Lady Boss came with me, she didn't pay too much attention to me. She asked me so many strange questions after lighting the lamp.
Therefore, there shouldn't be any problems with the bowl. Or rather, it was too late for her to do anything.
After thinking about all of this, I calmly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the noodles.
When the Lady Boss saw me eating the noodles, she smiled in satisfaction. Then, she bent down and whispered into my ear, "I know. Your birthday is on the ninth day."
I was so scared that I dropped my chopsticks on the floor.
The Lady Boss exclaimed, "Why did the chopsticks fall off?" Then he bent down to help me pick up the chopsticks.
The Lady Boss's bending movements were indeed as Mr. Zhao had said. It was very attractive, but I was not in the mood to appreciate it.
The Lady Boss picked up the chopsticks, took out a white handkerchief, carefully wiped it, and then handed it to me.
I dryly smiled and said, "This chopstick has already dropped. I don't need it."
The Lady Boss indifferently said, "The ground isn't dirty. Because no one stepped on it. "
I looked down, didn't I? The room was full of diners, all ghosts except for our table. They walked in the air, and the floor was as clean as the tabletop.
The Lady Boss pushed the chopsticks into my hands, looked at me meaningfully for a while, then turned around and walked away.
And I held up my chopsticks, uneasy.
I whispered to Mr. Zhao: "Second Uncle, help me analyze this. Is the Lady Boss trying to kill me?"
Mr. Zhao said with certainty: "No."
I heaved a sigh of relief and asked in pleasant surprise, "Are you confident?"
Mr. Zhao said, "I'm confident."
I asked again, "Then what do you have in mind?"
Mr. Zhao said, "I'll show you your face. You are the one who has lived for a long time. "He won't die so early."
My good mood immediately vanished into thin air.
The Mr. Zhao is unreliable, so I turned my head and asked Xia Xin, "Do you think she will kill me?"
Xia Xin said sinisterly: "So what if I killed him? I am so flirtatious, but don't you men care so much about dying under a pomegranate skirt, and being a ghost is also very amorous? "
I smiled wryly and looked down at the bowl.
Face to face, looking at each other, at a loss.
The surrounding customers left one by one, leaving only the three of us with the Lady Boss.
I said to the Mr. Zhao, "Let's not bother about the poison in our noodles for now. Where did Grandpa Gu go? Why isn't he here? Previously, he said that he will be waiting for us at the noodle store.
Mr. Zhao was also a little doubtful: "That doesn't make sense. It should be here. "
I said unhappily, "Before you came here, you made a solemn declaration. Now, you should be here, right?"
Mr. Zhao thought for a moment, then asked the lady boss who was not far away: "Is ancient head here?"
The Lady Boss indifferently replied, "I don't know. "When you're done eating, come and pay the bill."
The three of us stood up and took out the paper money.
Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin settled the bill smoothly. When it was my turn, the Lady Boss pushed my money back. "I don't want your money."
My heart went cold. "Then what do you want?" I was afraid she would say, I want your life.
The Lady Boss faintly said, "I want you to tell the truth."
