Chapter 229 Let It Be

After the car entered the urban area, the sky turned a little white.

Zhang Liang, who was driving, heard the car approaching a breakfast shop, and several people quickly got out of the car and entered the shop.

I arrived early, and there was no one in the shop. A few people found a seat by the window and sat down.

An old man with a stooped waist came over with a smile and greeted us, "How many of you are good morning? What do you want to eat?"

I ordered three fried dough sticks, a bowl of tofu curd and a bowl of soy milk. The other people were similar to me, and the old man went down to prepare with a smile.

The tofu puffs are all made in advance, just pour the soup on them. The old man brought the tofu puffs up first and told us that because we came too early, the oil for frying the fried dough sticks hadn't heated up yet, so we had to wait a little longer.

Wait for a while.

We also knew that we arrived a little early, so naturally we didn’t say anything.

After working all night, I licked my dry lips, picked up a spoon and started drinking. After the fragrant and hot tofu puffs entered my stomach, I immediately felt warm, which was quite comfortable.

Just when several people were eating in full swing, Zhang Liang suddenly let out an exclamation from his mouth.

"Holy shit!" Zhang Liang faced the window, with surprise written all over his face.

We all looked outside the window, and we saw people outside the window, and it wasn't just one or two people, but a group of people.

What surprised Zhang Liang was not the people outside, but the movements of the group of people. Because there was some fog on the windows, he couldn't see their appearance clearly, but the way they walked was strange. He stopped after taking two steps, and then walked forward.

Take two steps, then stop. Only the person next to you walks at a normal pace.

"We may have encountered zombies. Why do I see them acting so much like zombies?" Zhang Liang said, wiping the moisture on the window with his hand.

"Wait..." I wanted to stop Zhang Liang, but it was already a step too late.

"Look at them walking with their toes on the ground and their heels not falling. It's so strange." Gu Lin said curiously.

"Turn your head quickly and stop looking outside. Curiosity will kill the cat." I quickly said to several people.

Upon hearing my words, several young people who had just experienced life and death immediately turned their heads, lowered their heads and began to eat the tofu noodle in the bowl in front of them.

The scene outside made me immediately think of an ancient industry, corpse driving.

Corpse driving is a part of shaman culture, also known as moving spirits in some places. It originated in the Xiangxi region of my country. The duty of the corpse chaser is to bring the corpses of people who are in a foreign land back to their hometown, so that they can return to their roots.

It can be said that there were more corpse exhumations in the past war years, but in this era, many people died and were directly cremated, and almost no one would ask for a corpse exorcist.

What's more, the corpse exorcist always drove the corpses at night and in sparsely populated areas. It was already getting dark now, and this was an urban area. How did he get the corpses to this place? This was obviously against common sense.

Although I was very confused, I didn't continue to look at it.

Soon, the body builders outside drove the corpse towards the outside of the city and disappeared into the mist.

Soon, our fried dough sticks arrived, and while a few people were eating, the door to the breakfast shop was pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in. I subconsciously glanced at the people who came in.

He was a young man in his thirties. He was wrapped in a military jacket. He greeted the old man after entering the door. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

"Xiao Yang, are you leaving the car so early?" the old man asked.

"Well, I went there last night. Let me go there early in the morning. It's really cold today..." the young man said as he sat down.

"It's not easy to do your job, isn't it an old rule?" the old man asked.

"Old rules." As the young man spoke, he sat down next to our table.

Not only did I frown, because there was a layer of yin on this young man's face. It was obvious that he had provoked something unclean.

However, I didn’t say anything. There are so many evil people in this world, and I can’t take care of everyone, because everyone has their own destiny.

He ate very quickly, and he also finished our meal. We almost walked out of the store in front of us. The young man got on the Jinbei cart at the door.

After looking at it for a few more times, I narrowed my eyes. The Jinbei car was surrounded by black air. I also saw a few residual souls from the Jinbei car. Based on the conversation he had just had with the old man, I guessed the job of this young man.

He should be the hearse driver at the funeral home.

"Brother Chen, what are you looking at? Let's go." Zhang Liang patted me.

"It's okay. You can go back. My family lives nearby. I can just take a walk back." I said.

"Brother Chen, please call me later." Li Yan raised the cell phone in her hand.

I nodded and walked forward.

Back at the hotel, I took a hot shower and then went to bed for a good night's sleep. I slept until about two o'clock in the afternoon and then woke up.

After I woke up, I felt my stomach growling non-stop, which was a protest from my stomach.

After tidying up, I walked out of the hotel, planning to eat something first and then go to Antique Street to continue setting up a stall.

I found a small restaurant near the hotel. It was already past dinner time and there was no one else in the restaurant except me. I ordered a fried pancake and an egg soup.

While I was waiting boredly, someone came in from outside. When I saw the person, I couldn't help but change my face. This person was the young man I met while having breakfast. At this time, the blackness on his face became even more dark.

It's a little heavier.

He also recognized me, sat directly in front of me, and said with a smile, "Brother, we are really destined to meet each other twice a day. You don't mind if I sit here."

I smiled and said, "It's okay."

The man ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine.

Soon, our meals were served. The man saw that I only ordered one fried pancake, so he said, "Brother, since we are so destined, let's have a couple of drinks together. You see, it's quite boring for me to drink alone."

"

The man finished speaking very boldly, took a cup and poured me a cup first. I originally wanted to refuse, but they were so enthusiastic, and I felt a little embarrassed.

The two of them chatted while eating. The young man introduced himself as Su Mingliang, a veteran, and his family was in the local area. He probably saw that the clothes I wore looked like I came from the countryside, and asked me if I came here to find a job.

of.

I nodded casually, and Su Mingliang said enthusiastically that if I couldn't find a suitable job, I could come to him. There was a shortage of people where he worked.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Hands, but the nature of the work is more complicated.

Of course I knew what the job he wanted to introduce me to was, so I just smiled. The two of us chatted while eating, and we quickly became familiar with each other.

After finishing the meal, Su Mingliang paid and when he turned to leave, I stopped him.

"Brother Liang, if you encounter any trouble that you can't solve in the past two days, you can call me."

After hearing what I said, Su Mingliang paused and asked, "How did you know I would be in trouble..."

"Some things are written on your face, you just need to remember, this is my phone number." I handed the note with my phone number to Su Mingliang, and then walked out of the store.

Originally I didn't want to take care of this matter, but when we met twice, I drank from the other person's wine again. Just because someone is short-tongued, I have to take care of this matter even if I don't want to.

In the afternoon, I went to Antique Street and sat there all afternoon. No one asked me for fortune telling.

"Xiao Chen, even if you have the ability, you can't wait like this. You have to learn from me and shout more. Isn't there a saying that the alley is too deep even if the wine is fragrant?" Lao Zhangtou counted the things in his hand.

Qian said.

"I'm afraid that the wine in the deep alley won't be fragrant enough, so I just let nature take its course." I said with a smile.

"Okay, come drink with me tonight." Lao Zhangtou invited with a smile.

"No need." I immediately packed up and walked towards the outside of Antique Street.

As soon as I walked out of the antique street, my cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Brother, I'm Su Mingliang. Do you have time now? Let's meet." Su Mingliang said in a somewhat anxious tone.

I knew something must have happened, so I told him my location. About half an hour later, a taxi stopped next to me, and Su Mingliang got out of the car.

When I saw Su Mingliang again this time, my heart skipped a beat. In less than an afternoon, the yin energy on Su Mingliang's face became even heavier. If this continues, the yang energy on his body will be destroyed.

Exhausted.

"Brother, you have to help me." Su Mingliang grabbed my hand and said.

"Brother Liang, let's find a place first, and you can talk slowly." I said with a smile, just standing on the edge of the road, there was really no way to talk.

"Yes, let's find a place to chat and get in the car first." Su Mingliang opened the car door and let me get in the car first.

Su Mingliang told the driver the name of a big hotel. I quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Liang, I think that restaurant would be good to go to today. Let's go there."

I am not picky about food, and Su Mingliang is not a wealthy businessman like Kong Haihui. He is just a hearse driver. I don't think there is any need to go to such a place to spend money.

Su Mingliang still gave in a few words. Seeing that I sincerely wanted to go to that restaurant, he nodded and agreed.

"Brother, you make me feel a little embarrassed." Su Mingliang said.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's the same wherever you eat. It just fills your stomach. No matter how good or expensive the food is, it's best if it doesn't turn into pickled food." I gritted my teeth and said.

"Your explanation is quite original." Su Mingliang chuckled.

After arriving at the restaurant, we asked the boss for a private room. Su Mingliang ordered six dishes and ordered a bottle of the best wine in the restaurant.
