When it was getting dark, Grandpa An lit up the candle in the store, and the dim yellow light flickered from side to side with the candlelight.
Grandpa An had already stood in front of the shroud making table for a long time, while An Ning and I moved two small benches, sat at the door, and chatted.
Grandpa An always glanced at the door from time to time, and the clingy An Ning always approached me from time to time. Every time, Grandpa An always made a sound to remind her to pay attention to the distance between me and her.
"Xiaohua, it's getting late, you should go back early."
He held a ruler and waved at me.
I also feel that it's getting late, and I can go back at this time, just in time for dinner at home, and I don't need my parents to wait for me.
I bid farewell to An Ning and Grandpa An and left, preparing to take the bus home. An Ning came over to see me off, and hugged me at the place blocked by the advertising board on the platform. I was startled by her sudden action.
"Xiaohua! No matter what my grandpa says, I still want to tell you personally!"
Her face was a little red, and I was still worried that my bracelet might hurt her, so I moved back a few times. Obviously, she noticed, and there was a hurt look in her eyes.
"I don't care what your bracelet will do to me, Ronghua, you have always been my friend, you know, don't think too much about it."
She smiled and said to me, for a while, I felt my eyes were wet and warm.
It's great to have such a friend in this life.
After the bus arrived, I got on the bus and waved goodbye to her, and then sat down in the back row of the car, when the phone in my bag vibrated "buzzing".
I picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was the owner of the coffee shop, and my heart raised unconsciously. After all, in that coffee shop, there are horrible memories that I can't forget.
With trembling hands, I clicked on the connection, put the phone to my ear, and a familiar middle-aged male voice came from the other side of the receiver.
"Hello? Xiaohua? I'm Boss Zhang."
"Boss, I have resigned from my job, you are calling me..."
I don’t know if it’s because of my heart, but I always feel that the voice on the other side of the microphone is low and hoarse, which sounds very uncomfortable, and the signal is not very good, and I can hear the sound of electric current.
"I'm in the coffee shop... I didn't bring the key. Is the spare key with you? Please come here."
After I heard this sentence, I suddenly remembered that after I resigned from this job, it seemed that I did not return the spare key.
I was negligent. I didn't think much about it, and hurriedly rummaged through the bag with one hand, apologizing to Boss Zhang.
"Boss, I'm sorry, or I'll come over now."
"Okay... I'll wait for you in the coffee shop."
I looked up at the route map on the bus, and luckily, the route of this bus can just go to the side entrance of the community next to the coffee shop.
Anyway, the distance from the side entrance of the community to the coffee shop is not far, just get off the car and walk over.
I rummaged through my bag and found the key. When I got off at the station and went straight to the coffee shop, I gave the store key to the boss.
When I got off the car, it was almost dark, and the street lights on the side of the road were all turned on. I hurried around the neighborhood and rushed to the coffee shop.
The door was deserted, and there was no one there.
Huh? What about the boss, didn't he say he was waiting for me at the door? Why is he missing? I walked towards the door of the cafe, my face pressed against the glass door. The store, which was supposed to be lit, was pitch black, and the cashier counter facing the main entrance could be vaguely seen.
I picked up the phone and called the boss.
"Hi, the number you dialed is down."
I was dumbfounded, and then looked at the caller ID just now, it was indeed the boss's mobile phone number, but why did I call him, only ten minutes late, and the phone shut down
I looked at the darkness in the store, and I felt a little fear in my heart. For some reason, I always felt that it was a bit strange that the phone call just now was a bit weird.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from inside, and I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, and my back broke out in cold sweat.
Just now... Just now that, what is it...
I swallowed, and called the boss again, but it was still shutting down. Enduring the strong discomfort, I looked around again, but I didn't see the boss' figure, so I planned to leave immediately.
Unexpectedly, when my head turned to the floor-to-ceiling viewing glass row of the store, I saw that one side of the glass was not covered by the venetian blind, but was brightly lit, revealing everything in the store.
This is not the point, what scares me the most is that I saw a pale boy leaning on the seat by the window, his neck showed a strange arc, his head hung on his chest, that The eyes with no pupils were only the whites of the eyes, and they just looked at me so sadly.
That's... that's Xiao Huang!
My legs were trembling with fear, I really wanted to leave this place quickly!
Unexpectedly, before I lifted my foot and stepped out, the locked door behind me suddenly opened, and a huge force grabbed me in!
