Early in the morning, I was woken up by the ringing of my mobile phone.
"Hello?" Who is it, early in the morning...
"Ronghua! Lazy pig! Wake up, hey, you won't forget that we have a date today, right?"
I was awakened by this loud roar, and An Ning's roar came from the other side of the microphone.
"Hello? Hello? Xiaohua lazy pig? You won't fall asleep again, will you?"
"No, no." I replied quickly, lest An Ning think that I fell asleep again.
"It's not the best, pack up and go out, today is not your appointment, do you want to go shopping?"
I have never been in the habit of taking memos, but fortunately An Ning called me today, otherwise I would have forgotten it, and I still have an appointment today.
An Ning, surnamed An Ning, is my best friend. Since my junior high school, I have been in the same class with me, and I don’t know if it is due to fate. We have always been at the same table. Over time, we have become best friends who talk about everything.
It's just that when we got to college, we separated, but the relationship between us didn't weaken because of this, and we would go out to go shopping in our free time.
I turned over and got up, looked at the time, and found that I had enough time, so I dressed myself up.
When I was washing up, I saw the blood-red jade bracelet on my slender and fair wrist through the square mirror above the washbasin, and I couldn't help stroking it.
The TV in the living room was showing the morning news, and the case mentioned in it happened to be the coffee shop where I worked part-time.
The cause of Xiao Huang's death was sudden death caused by overwork. I sat at the dining table, watched the report on TV, recalled the situation that day, and my heart began to beat violently.
Xiao Huang's twisted neck became an indelible nightmare in my heart.
It suddenly occurred to me that before I walked into the cafe, the cleaner aunt I saw, with her gloomy face and squinting eyes, only large whites of her eyes could be seen...
"Morning, Xiaohua, mom just made breakfast, eat it while it's hot."
My mother's voice interrupted my thoughts, I nodded repeatedly, suppressed my heart that was beating wildly in my chest, and stopped thinking about the horrible situation, a layer of sweat was forced out of my back.
After I finished my breakfast, I went to the agreed place without any haste, and I saw An Ning waving at me from a long distance away.
"You are finally here. If I don't wake you up today, will you forget our agreement?"
An Ning grabbed my arm, pretended to be angry, and questioned me. She was obviously a lady-like woman with long legs and a C-cup cup, so she just liked this set. People just can't stand it.
"Okay, okay, my fault."
I patted the back of her hand amusedly, and we started our date together arm in arm.
First, I went to see a movie, and passed by the part-time coffee shop on the way. Because Xiao Huang passed away strangely at work, the coffee shop was also affected. It is now closed.
The scene of that day could not stop appearing in front of my eyes again, I shook my head quickly, trying to get rid of the distorted neck and Xiao Huang's head that was still shaking from side to side after he died.
Suddenly, An Ning's cell phone rang. She took out the cell phone from her bag and picked it up.
"Hello? Ah, Grandpa."
"What... I'm playing outside now, with my friends... It's not convenient to come here."
"Well... okay, I'll ask her."
I looked at An Ning in surprise, and she smiled awkwardly at me: "I'm sorry, Xiao Hua, grandpa asked me to go to his shop, it's urgent, but I'm too embarrassed to leave you behind, so..."
I was taken aback. In my memory, the shop opened by An Ning's grandfather seemed to be... a shroud shop
"It's okay if you don't want to come together, but I wronged you today, I have to leave early."
After I heard it, although I felt a little conflicted in my heart, I still nodded and agreed to go with her, and I can go to other places to play after finishing the work.
When I came to the door of the gloomy shop, I saw a gray old man sitting reclined on a recliner, squinting his eyes, holding a cattail fan, and fanning it there.
"Grandpa, here we come."
An Ning yelled at her grandfather, and the old man opened his narrowed eyes, and glanced at me casually. When his eyes fell on my wrist, his scrawny body was like a sieve. , shaking quickly.
The thin white racerback swayed on his body, and his distorted face from shock and fear became ferocious.
