"Even if he wants to move out, he has to be patient." The shop owner said helplessly: "In the past, there were many regular customers there to take care of his business, and he could barely make ends meet."
Li Feng thought about it, and Dongshen touched his pocket, but found that he didn't bring any cigarette. The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and handed over a cigarette and lit the fire for Li Feng. Li Feng thanked him and seemed to want to ask something, but Xu Dingjia shouted from the side again, "Oh, why are they just those things! Forget it, the boss will give him a bucket of instant noodles."
The shop owner even turned around to greet the business. Li Feng also walked in front of the glass cabinet and his eyes fell on the row of cigarettes.
Jiang Cheng had little appetite and no habit of smoking. He looked around idly and his eyes fell on the business license on the wall. He glanced at the owner's name in the east corner on the right, and Dongjie read it, "Xue Teng?"
The shopkeeper heard the sound and echoed, "Then I'll tell you his name. Is there anything wrong?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at Li Feng. The old detective didn't react at all, and he felt relieved. Over there, Xue Teng was setting up a table outside the store and moving out a few chairs for everyone to go. After the kettle boiled, he poured boiling water into the instant noodles and brought them to Xu Dingjia himself. Jiang Cheng saw that Xue Teng was quick in his movements, and he was indeed a very diligent person. Xu Dingjia looked straight at the instant noodles, inhaling deeply the fragrance of the instant noodles from time to time, his face showing an intoxicated look.
The surroundings are very quiet, the sky is gloomy, the distant scenery is hidden, and it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, making people feel as if they are in another world.
Perhaps walking for too long can easily lead to fatigue, and since he didn't sleep well last night, Jiang Cheng felt sleepy just after walking east, and unknowingly fell asleep leaning on his chair. Xu Dingjia didn't want to disturb Jiang Cheng, so he asked for three-way instant noodles to soak together. Li Feng's eyes widened when he learned that this was enough for Ding Jia alone.
Xue Teng smiled happily and brought three buckets of instant noodles, and then he finally came to the East at leisure. Perhaps he had been alone for too long, so he couldn't help but start a conversation with Li Feng. Li Feng also happened to have something to ask, so he asked: "He sees that there are no residents nearby. Have they all moved away?"
Xue Teng sighed and said, "No, they moved away a few years ago. Ever since they moved away, his confinement has become more and more difficult."
"Move?" Li Feng asked, "Did something happen?"
"I don't know?" Xue Teng was a little surprised. Then he thought about it and smiled, "No, it's been so many years. I don't know the people there. Is it normal not to know."
"What happened?" Li Fengdong glanced consciously into the distance.
Xue Teng came forward mysteriously and whispered: "Isn't there an abandoned orphanage in our area..."
Xu Dingjia had sharp ears and immediately came forward and asked: "Orphanage? What's wrong?"
"It's haunted!"
"Haunted?" Xu Dingjia rolled his eyes and said, "Can I tell them in detail?"
Xue Teng seemed to enjoy the feeling of being noticed. He cleared his throat and said, "It probably started seven years ago. Many people living nearby said that in the morning, there would be strange sounds coming from the orphanage. the sound of."
"What's the sound?" Xu Dingjia asked intently.
Xue Teng looked a little unnatural and said slowly: "Did you hear... the screams of children?"
"Children?" Xu Dingjia said in confusion, "How come there are children?"
"Isn't there an orphanage there before?" Xue Teng said: "I heard that there was a big case ten years ago. The director of the orphanage often took children to the basement and abused them. Many of them died there. Those children The undead souls could not rest in peace and were wandering around the orphanage! Later, more and more people heard the screams. In the past, everyone couldn't stand it and they all moved away."
"The case ten years ago?" Li Feng immediately understood what it was, and it was the case in which he killed Lu Fuyuan. He couldn't help but ask Xu Dingjia, "Are there really undead? Or, is that... person actually undead?"
Xu Dingjia naturally knew whether Li Feng was referring to Lu Fuyuan, but he smiled and said: "Many haunted incidents are actually based on rumors. In addition, there are major cases as background and environmental factors, so it is not surprising that there are rumors of hauntings."
"No?" Li Feng was doubtful.
Xue Teng said from the side: "Is that a rumor? He has heard it with his own ears."
Xu Dingjia said disapprovingly: "What you see may not be true, let alone what you hear."
Xue Teng wanted to defend himself, but he heard Xu Dingjia say again: "Did I hear the wind, wild cats, etc., plus I already have preconceived notions, is it normal to have auditory hallucinations? That kind of example Is it really too much?”
Li Feng shook his head and sighed: "Unexpectedly, as a Taoist priest, I can be so rational."
Xu Dingjia said proudly: "I can't believe he is a materialist."
Li Feng had a disbelieving expression.
Seeing that the noodles were almost soaked, Xu Dingjia stopped shutting up and ran to the table and picked up the noodle bucket. Xue Teng watched from the side, his eyes narrowed even more as he watched Xu Dingjia's movements.
Xu Dingjia took a deep sniff of the aroma of instant noodles, then picked up the noodles with a fork, opened his mouth and begged to eat. Unexpectedly, at that time, Jiang Cheng suddenly screamed and jumped up, knocking the instant noodles to the ground.
"My noodles!" Xu Dingjia looked sadly at the instant noodles on the ground, which had become mixed with the soil. A lot of the soup spilled on the grass on the roadside, forming brown dewdrops.
Jiang Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "He just had a nightmare."
"It's just a nightmare, why are you making noises like that?" Xu Dingjia's words were full of dissatisfaction, and he was worried about the instant noodles.
Li Feng was attracted by the quarrel between the two, while Xue Teng watched from behind with a flash of disappointment in his expression.
Jiang Cheng was also a little embarrassed and said, "Isn't it okay for him to pay me a bucket of instant noodles?"
Xu Dingjia was easy to dismiss, and immediately smiled and said: "That's pretty much the same."
The three of them were almost rested and drove away again. Xue Teng looked at the cars going away with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Are they all gone?" A voice shut up from the back room.
Xue Teng turned his head and looked at the blurry figure standing by the door, but his expression was very respectful: "No."
"How was the test?" the figure asked.
Xue Teng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "He's not sure."
"Not sure?" The figure's tone was unhappy.
Xue Teng limped to the grass, looked at the spilled instant noodles, and murmured: "That Taoist priest seemed to have no premonition of danger. If someone happened to knock over the instant noodles, Keke would have been infected." ”
"By coincidence?" the figure pondered, "Then he is wrong?"
"He doesn't think so." Xue Teng said.
Suddenly the wind blew up in the suburbs, and in the wilderness, weeds were rising one after another, like dark green waves. The instant noodle bucket also shook, making an empty sound.
