Hyakki grocery store

The mobile phone in the driver's hand slipped to the ground in an instant. He glanced at the mountain road that suddenly appeared eerie, but he didn't rush up to remind the courage of the passengers.If that kind of thing really existed among the six passengers, wouldn't he be dead if he rushed up now?

After swallowing, the driver immediately started the commercial vehicle, and then drove away.

I can't stay here any longer!

"Little brother, can you tell me your name?" The 10-minute mountain road is actually not long, but if the atmosphere is too dull, you will feel scared because of the tree shadows on both sides and the occasional noise, so Chen Hao's Girlfriend Yu Lan was the first to break the silence, and asked the little boy at the front of the line in a relaxed tone.

The little boy was carrying a small schoolbag, walked more diligently than adults, and had curly short hair. He stopped after hearing Yu Lan's question, turned around and replied with a smile: "I Called Ling Ling, the language of language, the spirit of the soul, how about you, sister?"

Judging by the white ghost's way of judging, the pretty little boy is only a little lower than Yun Mianmian's appearance.

"My sister's name is Yu Lan, and the remaining Yu is Shanfenglan." Yu Lan seemed to like the little boy in front of her very much, "I heard that the hotel kitchen above is open to tourists. After I find your parents, my sister will make it for you." Delicious, okay?"

"Okay!" The little boy nodded, his attitude was not indifferent, but he was not enthusiastic either. He seemed not interested in the delicious food Yu Lan was talking about.But Yan Ling still smiled and waved to Yu Lan, and continued to walk in front.

It is now close to dinner time, so the mountain road in the middle of the woods is getting darker and darker. Before the street lights are on, it will inevitably make people feel a little gloomy. The two ladies in the six-member team already have a feeling of cold air entering their bodies. One leaned close to her boyfriend, and the other leaned against the policeman.

But I don't know if it was Sun Qinqin's illusion. When she approached the policeman, she didn't feel as safe as she imagined. Instead, she felt a colder feeling.

"Mr. Police, we don't know your name yet." Perhaps the surrounding environment is really not very comfortable, so the reporter Chen Hao broke the silence again, "How about we introduce ourselves again? By the way What about the reason we want to travel?"

"I'm fine!" Sun Qinqin is still a little afraid of walking on mountain roads, so he feels more at ease when he speaks, "My name is Sun Qinqin, a senior student at Jinxiu University. I was an intern at Jinxiu Middle School because I have to go back to university I finished my graduation thesis and defense, so I asked the school where I did my internship for a long time off. Now that I finish my defense ahead of schedule, I plan to have fun for two days before going back to middle school for my internship!"

"I'm Chen Hao. I used to be a reporter for the Economic Daily, but recently I found an opportunity to change jobs and plan to become an associate editor for another newspaper." Chen Hao smiled complacently, "Then I, like Miss Sun, In the spare time in the middle, go out and play with your girlfriend."

When everyone's eyes fell on Chen Hao's girlfriend Yu Lan, the female chef with long hair and gentle face showed a somewhat sad expression.

Facing his girlfriend's gaffe, Chen Hao gently held her slender shoulders, and then explained: "A friend of Yu Lan just passed away, so it's a bit sad when I think about it, and I took her with me just to let her relax. Let's travel together."

"I'm Qubai." Seeing that the mountain road had almost come to an end, the white ghost just put on the "Qubai" puppet skin and smiled at the fellow passengers, "I'm an unemployed person. It’s for inspiration.”

"I remember Mr. Qu said last time that he is an artist!" Sun Qinqin looked at Bai Gui with an almost yearning expression, "This kind of unfettered life is really enviable."

Because the little boy Yan Ling had already introduced himself just now, and everyone knew that his purpose of coming to the mountain was to meet his parents who didn’t know why he went ahead first, so they all looked at the only policeman who didn’t introduce himself.

Sure enough, it's really weird to travel in a police uniform, even according to the police's rules and regulations, it's not suitable, right?

"Mr. Police, you don't... come to investigate the case, do you?" Chen Hao suddenly looked around nervously, for fear that a desperado would jump out of there.

"No, no, you're thinking too much." The energetic policeman immediately smiled and waved his hands, "My name is Xie Guanhua, and I'm just a street policeman. It's really strange to travel in a police uniform, but I thought anyway The hotel is on the mountain, so it won't affect others, so I just came here in a hurry."

"So that's the case." The others nodded in understanding.

In this way, the names and situations of the six members of the brigade already knew each other, and the mountain road was completed while several people chatted with each other.

Along the way, the White Ghost was sizing up the five people who were traveling with him, and found that even though he tried his best to avoid the big trouble with the ice cube face next door, he was still entangled in another big trouble.

He obviously just wanted to go out to relax like an ordinary person, and even sneaked back to the store to get the "Qubai" doll, but Boss Bai's purpose of "traveling leisurely" seems to have disappeared since he stepped into the business car exists.

The white ghost's eyes could see the luck surrounding Xun Bao's body, and naturally he could also see some other things.

For example, among the five people in front of me, there is a "person" that should not exist.

If there was only such a small accident, Bai Gui originally planned to ignore it. After all, he is not a hero who will do justice when he sees injustice. He just came out this time to play an ordinary jobless person, Qu Bai.

but……

When the white ghosts saw the hotel in front of them, they knew...

Something is bad.

“What a beautiful hotel!”

What appeared in front of the six members of the brigade was an antique manor, with blue bricks and green tiles, stone lions in front of the door, and red lanterns hanging from the eaves. Everything has the feeling of a mansion in an ancient costume movie.However, this antique hotel has four floors, and the scale looks very large, much more luxurious than the white ghosts and the others expected.

"I didn't expect such a cheap travel fee to allow us to live in such a luxurious hotel." Sun Qinqin felt very excited. She was already prepared to endure hardships on the mountain at the beginning, but after seeing the antique hotel, her eyes stopped. I can't move it.

"This level of luxury is enough even for a honeymoon trip." Chen Hao said to Yu Lan with a smile, "Unfortunately, we are not ready yet."

"You are a talkative person." Yu Lan also smiled, but the next second she began to look at the hotel in front of her in a daze, as if she was counting the windows of the hotel in front of her.

"Are you the group of six from Fairview City?"

Just when everyone was about to knock on the door of the hotel, a female voice came from not far away.

Everyone turned their heads and saw... a middle-aged woman with a kind face was waving to them at the gate of the flat courtyard next to Antique Hotel, and behind that woman stood a timid middle-aged woman The man was smiling at them flatteringly.

"The hotel next door has been closed for a long time, and the only open accommodation on this mountain is ours." The middle-aged woman said far away, "Come here quickly, choose a room, and you can have dinner after a rest."

"It seems that our destination is not this hotel." The white ghost quietly covered his nose and looked away, heaving a sigh of relief at this point.

Before everyone else came to their senses, the white ghost had already straightened his gray coat and walked towards the middle-aged couple.Although the weather in Fairview City and Phoenix City is pretty good now, the night on the top of the mountain is still chilly. In order to cope with the fact that ordinary humans are afraid of the cold, White Ghost specially put on a coat over his shirt.

He is no longer the leisurely Boss Bai in the Hundred Ghosts grocery store, but Qu Bai, an unemployed person who comes out to relax and find inspiration.

The real lodging place for the six people is the courtyard house next to the antique hotel. Although the environment is not as good as the hotel, it is considered a relatively neat farmhouse manor.According to the proprietress, in addition to the kitchen, washroom, dining room and their couple's room, there are several small rooms in the courtyard, and they can choose whatever they like.

The rooms reserved for guests in the courtyard house are all facing a good view. When seeing the quiet woods or overlooking the scenery outside the window, everyone forgets the unpleasantness of the change of residence.

Now that the hotel next door was closed, they had no other choice for the two nights on the mountain.

"Mr. Qu." After Sun Qinqin packed his things, he saw the white ghost coming out of the next room, "The window of the room you chose seems to be facing the hotel next door, so you can't see the scenery?"

"Whether it's a forest or a hotel, just look at the scenery you are interested in." Boss Bai, who appeared in the "Qubai" posture, smiled slightly, making Sun Qinqin's cheeks slightly red in front of him, and his slightly curly hair grew to his shoulders. Tie it with a rope at will, as handsome and uninhibited as those street artists.

"Everyone, dinner is ready!"

In the direction of the restaurant, Yu Lan was smiling and waving to Sun Qinqin and Bai Gui.

"Sister Lan!" After a while, the two women, Sun Qinqin and Yu Lan, had chatted together, and their relationship was much closer than when they were in the car. "Can I have your handicraft?"

Sun Qinqin knew that Yu Lan was the head chef of a restaurant. Although she was young, she had top-notch cooking skills, and her boyfriend Chen Hao always praised her.

"I'm sorry." Yu Lan shook her head, "When I finished packing, the proprietress and the others had already prepared dinner. I saw that they had prepared so sumptuously, so I didn't make a fool of myself."

"To be praised by Chef Yu, it seems that the food here is very good." Chen Hao also changed into a set of comfortable clothes, and walked out of his and Yu Lan's room.

Several people entered the restaurant together and found that the police officer Xie Guanhua and the little boy Yan Ling had already sat down at the round table.When choosing a room just now, Yan Ling made a phone call with his parents and found out that they would be going up the mountain a day later.

So Yan Ling had to live alone on the mountain for one night.

Although I thought the parents were a bit strange, but because Yan Ling was so cute and cute, the two women in the brigade took special care of the little boy.

Besides them, there were three strange men sitting around the table, faces they had never seen before.Compared with the sumptuous dishes on the table, the white ghost was more curious about where the three men with well-developed limbs came from.

"Are you all here?" The proprietress came in with a soup bowl and introduced them to the white ghosts, "These three came to the mountain for fun the day before yesterday, and they will leave tomorrow morning."

Knowing that the three strangers were also tourists here, Sun Qinqin and the others sat down without hesitation.However, those three people didn't look like kind people, their expressions were slightly fierce, and thick tattoos could still be seen on their exposed necks.

"It's really rich!" I thought that we could only taste some fresh wild vegetables on the mountain, but everyone in the tour group did not expect that most of the dishes on the table were meat, such as braised pork, braised lion head, Rib soup, stir-fried pork, etc., although they are just home-cooked dishes, they smell delicious.

"Hey, little girl over there." One of the street gangster-like tourists suddenly patted the empty seat beside him, and said to Sun Qinqin, "How about having a drink with brother?"

"Cough." Xie Guanhua, who took off his hat but was still wearing his uniform, coughed softly, causing the three men to stare angrily for a while before saying nothing, and buried their heads in finishing the meat on the table.

"The taste of the meat seems a bit strange." Yu Lan picked up a piece of braised pork. Although she didn't put it in her mouth, she could smell something strange through her own experience.

But Yu Lan just had this feeling, and she couldn't tell why the meat was so strange, it obviously looked like the most common pork.

"The meat is spoiled." The white ghost stood beside the round table without even sitting down, "Don't eat it."

When the white ghost said these words, the proprietress and his wife standing next to him showed ugly expressions in an instant.

The meat is bad?

If the words of the white ghost just made everyone in the brigade suspicious, then Yu Lan's judgment made everyone put down their chopsticks in an instant, and the originally delicious dishes lost their appeal. Resist not to move the chopsticks.

It was at this time that Bai Gui noticed that Police Officer Xie and Yan Ling who first came to the restaurant hadn't moved their chopsticks from the beginning, one was sitting there in a daze, the other was constantly playing with their mobile phones, and the bowls and chopsticks in front of them were also No signs of use at all.

That is to say, except for the three unrecognized hooligan tourists, none of the six of them had eaten the food on the table.

"Guests, you can't talk nonsense." The proprietress said immediately, "Although our village is on the top of the mountain, the meat and vegetables are brought up from the mountain every morning, and they must be fresh."

"Hahaha, this meat is delicious. There's nothing wrong with it." The three gangsters picked up a few more pieces of meat, and one of them looked at Boss Bai with disdain, "Look at you, brother Look, I guess it’s because you eat too much. You should drink and eat meat like our brothers, and I’m sure you have a strong body like ours.”

It's not surprising that the three gangsters feel this way. Boss Bai's body is a doll after all. Even if the most precious materials are used, even the weight and skin color are adjusted to be no different from normal people...

But for these gangsters who often collide with each other on the street, it seems that the white ghost's body still lacks some physical strength.

"Maybe I feel a little unwell tonight, so I feel wrong." Ignoring the three gangsters, Boss Bai nodded politely to the proprietress, and then walked out of the restaurant without hesitation, "I'll go back to my room first."

"We're going back too!" White Ghost took the lead, Chen Hao and Yu Lan also left the restaurant with Yan Ling, Sun Qinqin and Police Officer Xie followed, and none of the six members of the tour group chose to stay for dinner.

"Cut, what a coward." The three gangsters who stayed there were happily enjoying the whole table of food, but they didn't forget to tell the proprietress, "Sister, if we really have a stomachache tomorrow, you have to pay for it." We have a sum of money."

"Don't worry, it's all good meat." The proprietress still smiled very kindly, "Those six may have just gone up the mountain and are not used to it."

"We guess it's the same, let's not talk about them, we still have a lot of wine brought up from the mountain, this last night must not be drunk and never return! Do it!"

As they said that, the three of them started drinking together. Although there were only a few of them in the whole restaurant, it still felt lively.

After the boss and his wife left the restaurant, they walked into the kitchen not far away together.After locking the door of the kitchen, the smile on the proprietress's face disappeared instantly, and she said fiercely to the "husband" in front of her, "Did they see it?"

"Impossible, I've smelled it carefully, it's just a group of ordinary humans. Especially the kid who said that the meat is rotten, smells like the kind of sick person with a particularly weak body, how could he see such a thing!" He is obviously a man, but this middle-aged man is extremely afraid in front of the proprietress.

After a while, he shyly said: "Maybe it's because the meat has been hidden for too long, so humans tasted it? We like to eat it, but it doesn't mean that humans can eat it!"

"Then what should we do?" The proprietress directly kicked the man's leg, "If these guests disappear on the top of the mountain again, no one will come here again."

"Why don't you make some fresh ones for them tomorrow?" The man showed a ferocious smile, then stretched out his hand and scratched his neck, "Make sure to satisfy the guests."

"Then do it at night." The proprietress glanced at the direction outside the kitchen, "Only move one, and the others will let them go down the mountain alive the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, anyway, we still have enough food." The man nodded in agreement immediately.

Because it was a trip, everyone in the tour group brought dry food and snacks, especially Yu Lan brought a lot of homemade lo mei, but let everyone have a small dinner in their room, completely forgetting about dinner The melancholy clouds brought to them finally had some feeling of traveling.

Boss Bai had suggested going down the mountain earlier, but no one was willing to go down the mountain when it was dark, and they didn’t feel that the failed dinner was enough to make them give up their travel expenses, so everyone just took Boss Bai’s proposal as a joke That's all.

Back in the room, the white ghost just sat quietly on the bed in his room, trying to feel the movements happening on the top of the mountain.

The rooms of Sun Qinqin, Yan Ling, and Officer Xie are very quiet, and they should all be getting ready for bed.

But Yu Lan and Chen Hao quarreled in the room. They were such a loving couple to the outside world, but they had a fierce dispute in private. The white ghost even heard the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground. It gradually stopped.

There was also no movement in the room of the proprietress and his wife, but the three gangsters had just come out of the restaurant, and they had turned into three drunks, wandering around in the yard, singing loudly from time to time.

Judging from the situation at this time, nothing will happen yet.

The white ghost quietly closed his eyes and prepared to rest. Normally, the white ghost sleeps very lightly. As long as there is a slight disturbance, the white ghost may wake up from his sleep, so he is not worried about encountering danger when he is asleep.

But this time...

The overcoat that Boss Bai had taken off was hanging on the hanger next to him, and a round transparent glass bead in the pocket of the overcoat suddenly began to glow black and purple.

As the light flickers on and off, the white ghost who was originally only in a light sleep gradually fell into a rare deep sleep.

That is, after the white ghost fell asleep completely, a few drunken gangsters suddenly walked into a room that had forgotten to lock the door, as if trying to do evil.But a few minutes later, there was a loud crackling noise, and the three gangsters escaped from the room yelling "Wow, wow, wow, wow". They rushed out of the courtyard with serious injuries, and rushed towards the gloomy mountain road.

Even though there was such a big commotion, the entire courtyard was still silent. Neither Sun Qinqin, Chen Hao and Yu Lan, Police Officer Xie and Yan Ling, nor the proprietress and his wife who were the owners of the courtyard did not cry out because of the three. Walking out of the room with the screams and looking around, the courtyard immediately returned to its original calm.

And this kind of tranquility itself is a kind of unrest!

"Hello?" In Yanling's room, the well-behaved little boy answered the phone, "Don't worry, the old man is really fighting to hide from that kid, so he has successfully placed the Mingzhu on that kid. As long as he If you die again, your soul will be sucked into the pearl, and you will never be able to come back from death again."

"What you want is a body, but what the old man wants is a soul. This in itself is a win-win situation."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Ling's face showed a smile that didn't match his immature appearance, and his eyes, which were originally full of spirit, suddenly turned into pitch black without whites and pupils.

Just like... the "Old Lin" who was possessed back then.
