Chapter 169 Yangshou Is Not Over, Why Seek The Underworld?
Um?
no money?
It's not easy to do without money, we are in business here, and there must be rules in doing business, and we can't just break the rules casually.
He subconsciously looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen shook his head slightly at him, and the old man immediately understood what he meant.
He smiled immediately and said, "Then let us treat you as a free drink in our shop. There are milk tea and coffee, which one do you want?"
The young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "Thank you store, plain water is fine."
The old man didn't say anything, he went to the bar and got a glass of water, and handed it to the young man.
The young man took the water glass with both hands and sat there without drinking, just staring at the dark night in a daze.
It seems to be waiting for the dawn.
The old man looked at the young man for a while, then shook his head, he was really a strange person.
But now he has nothing to do, so he just sat not far from the young man and continued to watch the ghost movies on TV.
Since the live broadcast was not broadcast, he has become an online supernatural master, specializing in helping people solve some supernatural events online,
Or help to calculate the horoscope or something.
Because of his fame, he earns a lot every month.
It seems very leisurely for such a day.
The only thing left in the convenience store was the sound of the TV.
At this moment, the young man suddenly asked the old Taoist: "After the Taoist priest dies, will there really be an underworld?"
The old Taoist was startled when he was asked: "The underworld?"
"Yes, of course."
The old man answered in the affirmative.
This question is asking, the biggest boss of the underworld is working more than ten meters away from you, do you think there is a underworld?
"There really is an underworld."
The young man seemed a little dispirited.
At this time, I heard a voice from 303 whispering to the young man: "Is it important?"
Hearing this voice, the young man seemed to be stunned by the question,
The old Taoist was also stunned, his own land lord actually took the initiative to talk to a mortal, and it seemed that his attitude...was very good.
You must know that even in the store, the average gentleman basically seldom speaks.
It is even rarer to speak to strangers.
The young man touched his head and smiled: "It seems that it really doesn't matter anymore."
Although he said this on his mouth, his smile seemed a bit bitter.
grunt
Some discordant voices came from the young man.
His face turned red again, it was the sound of his stomach.
He looked at the simple lunch box in the convenience store, swallowed, and then looked away.
"Old Daoist, take a copy and give it back to him."
Luo Chen's voice came again.
Old way: "???"
The old man suddenly widened his eyes, trying to confirm whether he had heard correctly.
My local lord said...give this kid that meal?
Dijun...is your heart so good now?
Seeing that Luo Chen was not talking, the old man got up and walked to the dining area of the convenience store, took out a spare rib rice and handed it to the young man.
The young man glanced carefully at Luo Chen, then at the old man, hesitating, but he couldn't bear the aroma of the food.
"Eat it, Di... the boss gave it to you, you're welcome."
The old man put the food on the young man's table.
The young man finally took the meal and said gratefully to Luo Chen: "Thank you, thank you boss!"
The young man opened the pork ribs rice, he must be really hungry, the food is delicious, in the whole convenience store, except for the sound of the TV, only the sound of him (cdeg) eating is left.
The young man ate for a while, and gradually slowed down.
Only then did he finally let go of his eyes and look at the convenience store.
Although the old Taoist priest sitting next to him looked a bit wretched, he was not bad-hearted. He was lying on the side of the counter with his cheeks propped up, and the little girl who looked straight at others drinking water was very good-looking.
As for the one who sat on the sofa at the end... he was extremely calm from the beginning to the end, so calm that people looked at him and felt a little scared.
It seems that as long as he sits there, the whole world is centered on him.
This is an inexplicable temperament, it seems to be in a high position, but...how can the owner of a convenience store be in a high position?
Especially the seemingly inexplicable sentence he asked.
It's not that hard to understand for him.
The young man was not talking, but just lowered his head and finished his meal silently and earnestly.
It seems that it has been a long time since I have met a child who can be so good. It's time for parents to bring themselves.
The young man cleaned up all the debris on the table carefully.
"Thank you boss." He stood up and bowed seriously to Luo Chen.
Before Luo Chen could speak, Ao Xin pouted at the side: "There is nothing to thank, it's just the last meal, eat enough and go on the road.
The young man was a little stunned when he heard this.
He didn't know why this person said such things...why would he know what was in his heart.
"you you..."
Before he finished his sentence, the girl over there continued to chatter a little bored.
"What a selfish guy, even if there is no concern in this world, he should live well, right?
"If everyone was like you, how many people would die in this world?"
Um?
The old man looked at Long Nu suspiciously. What is this girl talking about? Although the words can be understood, what does this mean?
Although the old man was puzzled, the young man turned red all of a sudden.
"You don't know about me, why do you say that about me?"
"cut."
Ao Xin was a little disdainful.
"Isn't it just that I feel lonely and helpless? It is undeniably pitiful, but after all, I have grown up. Since I have grown up, it means that your life should not be ended. Why do you have to seek your own death?"
The young man was startled, and instead of answering, fell silent.
Ao Xin continued to speak regardless.
"If it weren't for your merits [this girl wouldn't want to talk to you."
The youth continued to be silent.
Hearing this, the old Taoist still didn't understand the truth, he just heard a rough idea.
Eyes also became complicated.
It turns out...it's really not a ghost, it turns out it's just a lonely young man who wants to die.
The old man sighed, went to the bar and made a cup of coffee, and said to Luo Chen, "Boss, can I have a chat with him?"
Luo Chen nodded.
The old man took the coffee: "Little brother, let's go out for a chat?"
The young man was still silent, and the old man hugged his shoulders. He subconsciously wanted to struggle, but with the old man's current skills, ordinary people really have no room to resist.
The young man followed the old man out of the convenience store.
The two came to the next eaves.
It was still as dark outside as ever, and the scarlet moonlight fell on the ground, like a strange picture.
The old man handed the coffee to the young man, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Taking one to him, the young man wanted to shake his head and refuse.
But the old man couldn't help but stuffed the cigarette into his hand, lit one himself, and lit another for the young man.
He found a comfortable position and squatted down.
"Little brother, although I don't know about you, what the person in my shop said must be true.
The young man looked at the old man, and the old man looked straight at him.
The young man finally nodded.
The old Taoist smacked his mouth: "It's very pitiful, if I'm not wrong, you were thrown out since you were a child?"
The young man nodded silently.
"How did you lose it? Was it thrown away or sold?"
"selling."
"What about foster parents?"
"Well enough."
"Then you have found your own again?"
"Um."
When the old man heard this, he sneered.
"What is there to look for? You didn't want it when you were young. You expect them to accept you when you grow up?"
The young man's hands trembled, he put the half-lit cigarette butt into his mouth, and took a slight puff.
The bitter taste made him frown.
Apparently smoking for the first time.
The old voice continued: "Even so, you are happier than many people, right? At least...you live better than me."
"Old Daoist, I have survived this age, and I still want to live a little longer. You only have this little life, why do you want to die?"
The young man glanced at the old man in surprise.
Seeing the young man's gaze, the old Taoist sneered slightly, and lifted up his clothes.
Under the lights of the convenience store, the wrinkled skin was covered with scars.
There are even a few scars that are more than ten centimeters in length.
"I'm old enough not to lie to you. You still found the information about your parents. I still don't know what my parents' last names are. Even my name was obtained by an old man."
"When I was fourteen years old, the old man passed away. Later, we followed the government all the way, traveled north and south for more than 20 years. At that time, life was really hard. Many children in the government were just like us, without father and mother. , I went there because I couldn’t afford to eat.”
"Do you know what it means to not be able to eat? It's not like you, just because you don't have money, or because you don't even have bark or grass roots.
"If we are all like you, why don't we all jump into the Cangjiang River?"
The young man listened to the old man's eloquent words, and stared blankly at the scars on his body.
Feeling overwhelmed by the successive changes for a while, he just took another drag on his cigarette.
And then... violent coughing.
Cough hard.
The old man ignored it and just waited for him to finish coughing.
He took out another cigarette and gave it to the young man again.
The young man didn't hesitate this time, he took it directly and lit the flame.
The old man asked with a smile at this time.
"Tell me, the old Taoist, how are you going to die?"
"Jump off.
The young man spoke slowly.
"Jumping off a building? Tsk tsk, that's not a good way to die. The moment your face hits the ground, even your own mother won't be able to recognize who you are."
It was a very bad joke, but this was the first time the young man smiled.
