Red Sea Town

Ghost Festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

The fishermen in Honghai Town have a day off, and the children don't have to go to school.

At noon, Uncle Guang cooked a pot of pork head meat, and cooked the largest pomfret, grouper, and yellow-finned fish that were caught in the sea during the day, and made three pots of vegetables.

In the morning, Qi Ji hung a second-hand LCD TV on the wall in Qin Ma's canteen, and adjusted the signal of the cable TV for a long time. The connection cable between the remote control and the computer was installed by Lu Li all morning.

Mother Qin tried it, and found that the handsome guy in the Korean drama suddenly had a face so big that he couldn't hold it in both hands. She happily called the barber shop proprietress over. "Kim Sam Soon" read it for the fifth time.

Mr. Hong changed into a dark red dress, tied a big belt around his stomach, and wore a pentagonal paper hat on his head.The whole person was in good spirits, with a cigarette in his mouth, pulling Xuanxuan to tell the story of Hai Meijiao with a few children who came to the town to watch the fun.

Xuanxuan has listened to the [-]th episode, but children have poor memory, and Mr. Hong conjured up a dozen lollipops out of nowhere, and asked a group of children to carry a small bench with lollipops stuffed in their mouths. , eat well, and listen carefully.

"This Sea Charm Jiao has eight heads, a human face, a snake's body, and the fins of a sea fish. It only rests in our sea area... It likes to come and go on the sea in the first month. He His voice is just like his name, he likes to eat fishing boats, he likes to eat people, especially...disobedient villains...wherever he goes, the village is flooded, and no one survives." The old man had a hoarse voice, staring at the children, the wrinkles on his face were creased.

The children's mouths were half open, and they listened carefully: "Grandpa Hong. Have you ever seen Hai Meijiao?"

"Of course I've seen it!" The old man shook his eyebrows: "Your grandfather and I went fishing with my grandfather when we were teenagers. It was at this time of year that we almost...we couldn't come back!"

"Really? Really? It really has eight heads? So which head does his body listen to? Will the eight heads quarrel?"

"But my father said that Haimeijiao is a typhoon in summer. The typhoon is so strong that it overturned the boat."

"Grandpa, grandpa, you told me last year that you met the sea charm dragon when you went fishing with your father..."

The children were chattering, and quickly asked Mr. Hong a question, whining for a long time, not knowing which one to answer first.

After breakfast, Situ wandered to the entrance of the town on crutches.

Sure enough, Chen Yan was rubbing the net with his notebook in the canteen, buried in writing.

The doctors they go to the countryside to support have to write a report every week and send it to the city. If they don't send it out, they won't be paid.The broadband in the hospital was installed twice but failed. It is said that the two signal towers in the town were damaged by a typhoon last year and one could not be repaired, so the signal is very poor. I just came here to browse the Internet, and I seem to buy something by the way.

Lu Li and Qi Ji's Rural Taobao Shopping Agency is still doing well. It's only been less than a week, and the layout of the canteen has changed. Half of the store that was originally partitioned by glass can be entered. They got two second-hand computers and just installed them There is a big TV set, and several layers are drawn with a ballpoint pen on a huge cardboard at the entrance of the small shop, marked "Rural Taobao Station".

Situ frowned and looked at it for a while, only to feel——really shabby.

Qi Ji and Lu Li are really big liars.

The agreed upon [-]-inch color TV has a dilapidated corner with a big crack. The two computers on the table look like they were picked up from a scrap market. The facade is too ugly. , and he had been standing there for half an hour, except for Qin Ma and the barber shop proprietress who were laughing non-stop while watching the stick in the Korean drama, and Chen Yan who curled up and stared at the screen for a long time without moving, Not a single ghost came in.

Lu Li and Qi Ji didn't know where they went.

Such a broken place, can you really expect to pay him dividends in half a year?

Situ contemptuously despised himself for a while, he already knew that he had been fooled by Lu Li.

But when he saw Chen Yan, he wanted to open up a little bit.

The little actor before, he didn't even blink 10,000+ throwing it down, buying bags and trusting relationships.Chen Yan is more comfortable watching than that little actor, and there are fewer things to do. I don’t know how many times better. It’s no big deal to send tens of thousands to improve living conditions.

Chen Yan doesn't like seafood very much, but he likes to eat a few bites of chicken and duck. The chicken Qi Ji sent is genuine and really good. As long as there are more chickens, everything is easy to talk about...

Situ was thinking about his own calculations.

He didn't think carefully about how the Dr. Chen he used to pass the time in Honghai Town was comparable to the little actor who looked exactly like Liu Yifei before him.

He just calculated that the pork rib soup he stewed was almost ready, and he had to call someone to go back to eat.

So he entered the canteen carelessly, and secretly made a stop behind Chen Yan.

——You shameless bastard, my son's life needs you to change.

——Chen Yan, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go.You ruined my family, my child, my husband, you will be punished, you will definitely be punished!

——Do you think I can't find you if you hide?I make trouble in your hospital every day. You lead Director Chen’s house and I call him every day. I will definitely find you. If you die, I will dig out your body and eat your flesh bit by bit!

——My son is a ghost, and he will never let you go in his next life, son of a bitch...

"Who is it?" Situ's voice was cold.He thought Chen Yan was looking at some information, but found that Chen Yan was staring at a QQ chat box, motionless, and he didn't even notice when he walked behind him.

"Ah——" Chen Yan almost jumped up from the stool, and the notebook was almost knocked to the ground by him.Situ pressed the man firmly in place, and Chen Yan was trembling.

"Hahahahahaha——" Two middle-aged women watching Korean dramas with their backs to them suddenly burst into laughter like killing pigs. Laughing heartlessly.

Situ had a murderous look on his face, and Chen Yan was sweating profusely.

The two of them were in such a stalemate, and with the weird laughter of the women behind them, the air was extremely awkward.

"It's nothing, I suddenly opened a...strange website." After a while, Chen Yan seemed to be able to breathe suddenly, and he stopped shaking, and his voice was still hoarse.

When Situ wanted to say something, he saw Qin Ma turned her head curiously, and saw that it was him, with a little wariness in her eyes.

"Mother Qin bought a pack of cigarettes. Two bottles of beer." Situ paid for things like a normal person.

Qin's mother is still kind to the guests: "Your hands and feet are not well yet, so drink less."

"The dress Qin Ma chose today is really good, and the proprietress's new hairstyle also looks fashionable, tsk tsk, when you are young, you are all beauties."

"Hahaha……"

Situ's two words here made the two middle-aged women laugh even more devilishly.

Mr. Hong next door also told about his story——

"Hey, guess what is in the eighth mouth of the Sea Charm Jiao? A child, a child covered in blood, that is the son of the man who was supposed to be a sacrifice... The child has not yet emerged from the mother's belly. It was born from the inside, a big red piece, the eyes are still open..."

"Go—" Situ called out in a low voice.

Pulling Chen Yan up, listening to the old man telling more and more unreliable ghost stories, he walked very fast.

"let me go."

Chen Yan struggled a few times along the way, Situ's hands and feet were not fully recovered, but he was very strong. He took him back to the small bungalow under the lighthouse all the way, avoiding Hong Jianqiang's family who were cooking at the door.

"Doctor Chen, your pork rib soup is ready, I'll turn off the fire for you!" Linghua yelled when she heard the sound of Chen Yan's house closing.

"Okay, thank you!" Situ shouted without turning his head, and pushed Chen Yan onto the bed to make him sit down.

Outside the door, Linghua's family was busy cooking fish for a simple sacrifice.

Inside the door, the smell of pork rib soup is everywhere.

Chen Yan lowered his head, feeling a little cold.

Situ lit a cigarette, pulled a stool over, and sat opposite Chen Yan.

"I'm in trouble, Brother Situ is covering you. What do you look like with a frowning face!" If my little brother hesitated like Chen Yan and refused to tell the truth, Situ would have already slapped him and made people talk about it.Facing Chen Yan, Situ couldn't hit anyone.

After a bit of fierceness, my heart softened.

"Speak slowly." Situ's voice became much gentler.

……

"It's really nothing." Chen Yan shook his head.

"Do you think of me as your buddy?" Situ frowned.

Chen Yan looked up at the person, smiled inexplicably, and shook it anyway.

"..."

5 minute later.

"Snapped--"

The door of Chen Yan's house was opened fiercely and then shut firmly.

Town mouth.

Qi Ji brought Lu Li back from the county seat.

Qi Ji took out a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar, and the children immediately dispersed from Mr. Hong, chasing after Qi Ji to eat fried chestnuts.

Uncle Guang helped Lu Li paste a bright yellow advertising poster on the cardboard in front of Qin Ma's shop.

Qi Ji divided the chestnuts.

Walked over, stretched out his arms to hug Lu Li, and watched from a distance——

"Rural Taobao Service Station"

The two read happily.

It couldn't be better.

"We're officially opening today." Lu Li rubbed the glue off his hands, feeling a little excited.

"Getting rich is just around the corner!" Qi Ji echoed.

"But I forgot that today is Ghost Festival - is it unlucky?" Lu Li was confused.

"Today is August [-]th, don't be too happy." Qi Ji put his arms around Lu Li's waist and rubbed his head.

The man stood beside him obediently, both of them were warm.
