"You're here again." I said annoyedly, "Even such a trivial matter, you can rise to such a height. I didn't come here to listen to your big reasons."
And, most importantly, I can never get enough of him. This guy Wen Jiubai is simply a genius of sophistry, sometimes I even feel that Wen Jiubai can turn dead into living even if he is clearly right with me.
"Ah—I remembered it when you said that." Wen Jiubai said in a deliberate drawl, "Of course you didn't come here to listen to my reasoning. You came here to work for me."
I have a bad heart, as long as Wen Jiubai shows such an expression, nothing good will happen next.
"Then don't be idle here anymore, go and do something for me." Wen Jiubai said, turned around, rummaged for something in the drawer, and took out a sealed one after a while. The envelope was handed to me, "Go and help me run some errands."
"—Ah?" I immediately wailed in pain, and when I thought of the freezing temperature outside the yard, I rejected it wholeheartedly, "Let me run errands? Isn't this usually done for nothing?"
"That weasel has gone somewhere to drink, so I can only ask you now." Wen Jiubai smiled, showing Zhou's skinny face. I reluctantly took the envelope, there is no way, after all, it was also caused by my wrong words.
"Then, where are you going to send it?"
Wen Jiubai thought for a while and asked, "Do you know where Jinhua Road is?"
I nodded. That road is not very far from the school, and it takes only ten minutes to walk there. I usually go there with my roommates and friends for evening self-study, because there are always many snack bars along Jinhua Road, and there are many surprising snacks in them.
"You keep walking along the food stalls on Jinhua Road. When you get to the very end, you will see a remote alley with gray concrete walls and mossy dirt." Wen Jiubai said, "Turn into that You can see a dilapidated noodle shop in the alley, just hand the letter to the owner. Well... if it's you, you should be able to find it."
I was confused by what Wen Jiubai said, what do you mean I should be able to find it? Could it be that the noodle restaurant is hidden in some very hidden place
But then again, I have been there many times near Jinhua Road... Is there such a small alley at the end of the road
"Okay, let's go." Wen Jiubai didn't allow me to think too much, pushed my shoulders and walked out, saying, "By the way, remember to report my name. If he doesn't believe you, just take the fan Show him. Is the fan still on you?"
I nodded, the cyan folding fan that Wen Jiubai gave me has always been in my backpack, although I don't know what it is for, but it is always right just in case.
"Go, go, when you come back, I'll treat you to a stewed chicken." Wen Jiubai patted my shoulder and said.
This sentence made my eyes light up all of a sudden, "Really?"
"When did I lie to you?"
Inspired by the stewed chicken, it seems that the cold wind howling outside the door is not too cold. I put the envelope in my backpack and set off for Jinhua Road.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when I went out, and it was already around five o'clock when I walked to the snack street. The students finished their classes one after another, and the snack street was busy. I bypassed the crowds and stalls, and walked along the absorbent bricks to the end of the street according to what Wen Jiubai said. I don’t know how long I walked, but the sky was already getting dark, and the sun only showed half of my face in the west. I finally reached the end of the street.
It is indeed a very remote place, and there are no pedestrians passing by at all. However, I didn't see any alleys either.
There is indeed a wall at the end of the street, and the color of the wall is indeed gray, but it is tightly blocked by cement, and there are no small alleys with moss at all.
I touched the envelope in my hand. Could it be that guy Wen Jiubai got it wrong? I did follow the route Wen Jiubai said, it's not bad at all.
Just when I took out my mobile phone and was about to call Wen Jiubai to find out what was going on, I suddenly felt the wind blowing from behind.
windy
But... There is obviously a concrete wall behind me, how can there be wind
I hesitated, put down the phone in my hand, and turned around.
Just then, a miracle happened. What was a concrete wall just a minute ago has now become a crooked path with gray stone slabs and mossy dirt, exactly as Wen Jiubai said.
"No way..." I murmured, of course, I walked in along that path without hesitation.
This road is very narrow, almost the width of an adult can only pass through, and the road does not have any forks, I walked straight in, and not long after, I saw the dilapidated noodle shop that Wen Jiubai mentioned.
To say that this shop is a noodle shop is a bit of an exaggeration, because in my opinion, it is more like a simple shed than a shop. There is a simple wall built of wooden boards, and a window is opened in the center, from which one can vaguely see someone busy working.
"Oh, there are guests, wait a minute, what do you want to eat?"
The store owner seemed to have noticed my arrival, wiped his hands in a hurry, and walked out.
It doesn't matter this time, he and I were both shocked and screamed at the same time.
I screamed for nothing else, because... the owner of this noodle shop is not human at all.
The owner of the shop has a cat's face, brown fur, and long whiskers on both sides of his cheeks. His arms are also cat's paws, and he can still see the two tails protruding from his back, just like a big cat as tall as a man. But he was humanly dressed, with an apron on, and had obviously just come out of the kitchen.
"You, what are you!" I took a few steps back and shouted loudly without controlling my voice.
"Wait... I should ask you this question, right?" The cat boss also had a frightened expression, and then he frowned suspiciously, and moved a little closer to me to observe carefully, " Oh, this guest, shouldn’t it be human?”
What is "could it be human"! I couldn't get it stuck in my neck at one breath, making me look like some rare species!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The cat owner finally returned to normal, and apologized to me repeatedly, "This is really rare. The shop has not received human customers for many years. It was really offensive just now."
