Collect all nine fox tails to summon the dragon?

In midsummer, when Su Chi was holding a gourd scoop to sprinkle water at the entrance of the convenience store to dispel the heat, the store manager brought someone to stand in front of her, and called out as if asking for credit: "Xiao Su, look!"

Su Chi raised her head. Under the scorching heat at noon, a tall and thin young girl stood behind the store manager with her hands down. The hot sun shone fiercely on her short silver-white hair, making her face look as pale as a white patch. porcelain.

The store manager is a short, round, middle-aged man with a kind heart, but he looks like a ten thousand-year-old toad. The girl stood in the sun like a white crane under him. She nodded slightly, imitating the store manager's tone, and smiled. He also called out, "Xiao Su, hello."

Her voice was neither high nor low, neither light nor heavy, it sounded like an old friend reunited for ten years, with intimacy in the strangeness.

Su Chi squinted his eyes to look up and down the strange girl, and finally said coldly: "I don't know you."

"We know each other now," the store manager said with a crooked smile, "From now on, you will be colleagues, and you will become a loving family."

Su Chi didn't comment on this, but he couldn't take his eyes off the girl's white hair that had fallen like snow for ten years.

The girl noticed her gaze, rubbed her short hair that was cut short and messy, and smiled brightly, "Natural!"

That dazzling juvenile white hair complemented her messy and mixed clothes, but it was a pity that she had an oval face with plain white and good features.

This girl is like a piece of pure white jade wrapped in colorful rags, but I don't know whether she is a piece of rough jade or an old stone that has become refined.

Su Chi shook his head, and walked into the shop with a gourd scoop.

What does it matter to her.

The girl caught up and asked with a smile, "Why don't you ask my name?"

Su Zhi glanced at the scorching sun, then at the girl's head that was gathering light all the time, and said coldly, "Don't dawdle in front of my eyes, you will be dazzled and dizzy."

Sure enough, the girl didn't move. She stood quietly in front of Su Chi, with her hands behind her back, and there was an unbelievable cunning in the bright smile on her face, "You haven't asked my name yet."

Su Chi frowned, "I'm not curious."

In short, what you need to know, why rush for a while.

The girl opened her mouth to speak, when the store manager's thick voice suddenly sounded, "Xiao Long, come in quickly! I'll teach you how to tidy up the containers."

"I don't know." Su Chi didn't even look at the girl's startled and smiling face, and pushed open the glass door of the convenience store. The bell rang, and the shell wind chime hanging on the supermarket door rang happily. On a sunny day, the curtain opened crisply and crisply.

"It's a good omen." The girl who followed Su Chi into the shop raised her head, glanced at the shell wind chimes, and smiled slightly.

Su Chi is 20 years old this year and works as a small cashier in a 24-hour convenience supermarket in a bustling city district. Su Chi himself has a dispensable attitude towards this job, but the store manager attaches great importance to Su Chi.

In the eyes of the timid store manager, Su Zhi, who has been able to work in the 24-hour supermarket in the downtown area where dragons and snakes are mixed, has never had any accidents is undoubtedly a genius.

The night shift was not because the store manager intentionally made things difficult for a little girl like Su Chi, but because Su Chi found out that the night shift was not only quieter than the day shift but also increased vacation benefits after a certain night shift, so he took on most of the night shifts in the supermarket without hesitation.

Ordinary people are afraid to avoid the night shift, and it is unheard of for Su Chi to be so eager. After Su Chi finished the night shift for a month calmly, without being tired or angry, and with his face intact, the store manager finally reluctantly Take it easy.

In the words of the store manager, Su Chi is good at everything, except that he is more godly in dealing with people than customers. He is not suitable for the service industry, and it is good to arrange night shifts.

Compared with Su Chi's indifference and alienation, the new employee Xiaolong undoubtedly filled the long-lost enthusiasm and vitality of the supermarket customer service. Her messy silver-white hair has almost become a living sign of the supermarket. As long as she appears near the supermarket, No matter how far away, there are always customers who know her from all the way to greet her.

"Xiao Long, how did you manage to be so popular?" When the shift changed that day, the store manager finally couldn't bear it, and asked Xiao Long who was tidying up the daily necessities cabinets to humbly ask for advice.

"Natural." Xiaolong's bangs grew long, and she clipped her white hair loosely on top of her head with a pen cap.

"Why are you born with everything?" The store manager smiled.

Su Chi happened to push the door open and came in. He clearly saw the two colleagues who were chatting in the entrance passageway, but he pretended not to see them and passed by.

The store manager pouted at Su Chi, and asked Xiao Long in a low voice, "Is Xiao Su's personality also innate?"

Xiao Cage smiled resolutely, "It's natural."

"It sounds like you've seen it before." The store manager didn't take it seriously, turned around and smiled at Su Chi, "Xiao Su, Xiaolong will be on the night shift with you tonight."

"Got it." Su Chi put on a supermarket apron on himself, but still didn't look at them.

The store manager untied his apron and said with a smile, "You two little girls, if something terrible happens in the middle of the night, don't forget to bring tonight's sales with you when you run away, okay?"

Xiao Long poked his head out from behind the container, smiled and waved to the store manager.

The store manager opened the store door and left, leaving only Su Chi and Xiao Long in the supermarket for a while.

Su Chi never talked much, and now he just immersed himself in tidying up the cash register, turning a blind eye to Xiaolong who came out from behind the container and obviously had something to say.

Xiaolong was standing in front of the cashier counter. She was tall, and when her elbows rested on the countertop, her upper body had to fall over.

When Su Chi raised his eyes, what he saw was the black pen cap on Xiaolong's head.

Xiao Cage met her eyes, smiled and said, "Su Chi, the first time I saw you, I knew you must have a bad temper."

Su Chi said lightly: "When did you become a bad temper when you don't like to talk?"

Xiao Long bent down even more, propped his palms on his cheeks, raised a pair of peach eyes and smiled, "But it's okay, I like it."

"Whether you like it or not has nothing to do with me, but there is one thing I must remind you." Su Chi tapped the cash register cabinet with his fingers, and said patiently: "The few packets of braised chicken legs and spicy chicken feet you ate secretly are not Included in employee benefits, you have to pay for it out of your own pocket.”

Xiao Long's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you know I stole the food?"

"One box of inventory is missing in one day, and it's all chicken." Su Chi muttered, "Are you a fox?"

Xiaolong rubbed his nose and said nothing, just at this time a few customers came in outside the door, the shop suddenly became lively, Xiaolong got up to greet the guests, Su Chi also ignored her.

Night falls late in summer, but as soon as night falls, people who have been dormant in the city for the whole day come out in droves, bringing out a breath that almost boils this coastal city again.

Busy and busy, when Su Chi and Xiao Long finally got some leisure, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Xiao Long lay prone in front of the cash register, and said with a smile, "Go and sleep for a while, I'll help you watch."

"I'm not sleepy." Su Chi took out a book from the drawer, and started flipping through it from where it held the bookmark.

Xiao Long didn't leave right away, she smiled and said, "I've never seen you dozing off, you are so energetic, why do you ignore many things and have no interest?"

Su Zhi didn't raise his head, and replied quietly: "There is no logic."

Not being sleepy and being nosy, why must they be involved?

Xiaolong laughed twice, ran to the small warehouse and dragged a folding chair out to lie down. She raised her legs high to recuperate, and she was even more leisurely than a panda napping after eating.

Su Chi glanced at her and said coldly, "Go to sleep in the house."

"It's okay, there won't be any guests at this time." Xiaolong put his arms on the back of his head, crossed his legs and was about to sleep, looking unreserved like a rough old man.

Su Chi ignored her and let her torment.

In the quiet supermarket on the night shift, the only sound left was Su Zhi's flipping through books.

I don't know how long it took, the glass door of the 24-hour convenience store was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the bell rang. The latent heat in the midsummer night poured into the room, colliding with the air-conditioning in the supermarket silently, alarming Su Chi, who was buried in a book behind the checkout counter. , She raised her head from the book and quietly looked at the visitor in the middle of the night.

There are no more than two kinds of customers who show up at the convenience store in the middle of the night—a midnight indulgent soul and a homeless body, and vice versa.

Su Chi put down the book and glanced at the monitoring screen behind the counter, the time was clearly displayed on the monitor.

Three forty-eight past midnight.

The visitor was a woman in a bright red dress, with a petite figure, and her waist-length black long hair was messily scattered on her drooping and slightly hunched shoulders. Following her limp walking posture, her long hair dangled, occasionally brushing against her paleness. On the blood-colored cheeks, two thin red lips with obvious bite marks were exposed.

The woman's head was bowed all the way, her black hair was disheveled, she didn't even look at Su Chi behind the cashier counter and Xiao Long who was sleeping on the bench, she staggered past the counter silently, and then turned into the food container behind.

Su Chi stretched his neck to look, just in time to see the naked and dirty heel under the woman's dragging calf, and the shadow of the heel that followed closely.

If there is a shadow, then it is not a ghost, right?

Su Chi turned his gaze back to the monitoring screen, and the weird woman stood motionless in front of the instant noodle container. She neither chose flavors nor shifted her target, but just stood blankly in front of the one-person-high counter, as if she was in front of the instant noodle container. In a daze, it seems like the soul is out of the body.

There is a bright yellow amulet bag hanging on the small drawer of the cash register, which contains a small string of Buddhist beads. It was specially hung by the timid and cautious store manager for Su Chi, who is on the night shift. It defends against all kinds of demons and ghosts like insecticide.

Su Chi remembered the earnest entrustment of the store manager when he changed shifts every day, and stuffed the amulet into the drawer casually.

The long-haired woman stood in front of the instant noodle counter without moving for a full 10 minutes. During this period, Su Chi also stood behind the cashier and stared at the monitoring screen without moving.

Su Chi looked at it very seriously, and always felt that the next second, that woman was about to climb out of the monitor screen.
