We ran out of the temple gate and saw the old man walking south, so we hurriedly followed him. If we were getting off the train, I would definitely chase him and ask him to find a way to save Ermao. But the strange events that happened in the past two days made me full of doubts about him, so I wanted to follow him and see what he was going to do.
After chasing him south for dozens of meters, the old guy actually entered Longxingju. Wang Zijun looked at me and said nothing. He must be thinking that we just came out of there in a huff, how can we have the nerve to go back? I thought differently from him. I didn't go far because I wanted to get rid of the evil spirit in Lu Xiaoxiang. Coming back here was just what I wanted.
Now I put aside for the moment the pain that Shen Bing had planted in my heart and pushed the door open and walked into the restaurant.
“Welcome…” It was this little girl again. Hearing her sweet voice, I felt much better.
I smiled at her and saw the old man sitting at a table. There was already someone at that table, who seemed to be waiting for him. Because there were many customers in the restaurant, he didn't notice me, so he pulled Wang Zijun and nodded at a table in the corner, and we walked over there and sat down.
I ordered a few dishes and a bottle of Erguotou. While I was ordering, I kept my eyes on the other side. The old guy was chatting with the person waiting for him. It seemed that they were old acquaintances. The man was also in his fifties, completely bald, with a very bright forehead, which made him particularly conspicuous among the many guests. He squinted his eyes and had two whiskers on his lips. He looked a little shabby, but his eyes were very sharp. Because I was staring at them, I occasionally made eye contact with him and felt a chill running through my heart.
The bald man seemed to notice that I was staring at them, and he said something to the old man, who also turned his head. I lowered my head hastily, and the waiter just happened to bring the wine and food, blocking the old man's sight. I unscrewed the Erguotou and poured two glasses, but I was not in the mood to drink now, and I kept thinking about the old man's suspicious behavior.
He was invited by the conductor to board the train, but he did not get off after catching the ghost. Instead, he took the train all the way to the provincial capital. I don't know where he has been wandering these two days. Today, he met someone to drink at Longxingju. There is something strange about him. And this bald man, his eyes are so bright. Unless he is in our business, he must be a master. Maybe he is one of the few Yin-Yang masters in the provincial capital. Last time in the provincial capital, except for Yan Xiang and Tan Qing, I didn't see the others.
I took a few bites of the specialty dish recommended by the waiter. Hmm, it was delicious. No wonder the business here is so prosperous.
Wang Zijun asked me quietly: "What are we going to do with this old guy?"
I said, "Drink your wine, stop asking so many questions, and pretend nothing happened."
Wang Zijun said "oh" and lowered his head to drink in silence.
At this moment, my cell phone rang. As I expected, it was Qu Mo calling. I hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Master Xi, where are you?"
"What's up?" I'm right here.
"Lu Xiaoxiang is really possessed by an evil spirit. He started talking nonsense after drinking a few glasses of wine. He kept saying nonsense and scared his classmates. Can you... be magnanimous and help save him this time?" Qu Mo sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone.
"How could I, a petty person like me, help my brother's enemy? You think too highly of me." I said it so sarcastically on purpose.
