Ginger's grocery store

The tables and chairs in the main hall are neat, the walls are clean, and there is a picture of Dukang’s winemaking hanging on the wall. The beauties on both sides shrug their shoulders and put a few lilies in the vases. The white lilies are dyed warm yellow under the candlelight. .The carpet on the ground has been removed, and the hard and cold bluestone bricks lying on it must be cold and hard, Jiang Yuan looked at the ground and thought.

Placed in the corner of the room, the crackling of the arm-thick red candle woke up Zhang Tianjiu who was also awake. He sat on the ground and looked around in a daze, while his companion who came with him fell asleep on the floor.After a while, he asked uncertainly, "Have we crossed?"

"No." Jiang Yuan said with certainty, "Wait a minute, maybe someone wants to entertain us." It was already very late, he pinched the sore corners of his eyes tiredly, Da Jin disappeared during his short sleep Now, and the person he saw before he fell asleep, who was it, and why did he look like an old man?

Zhang Tianjiu sat down in the armchair next to Jiang Yuan. He and Jiang Yuan were not familiar with each other, and they had nothing in common, but he couldn't control his mouth. Whenever he was nervous, he wanted to talk, "My family makes wine, grain wine. , the sorghum is steamed to make wine, and the high-purity baijiu that comes out will make people drunk when they smell it. The wine made is too ordinary, even if it is of high quality, it is sold for two yuan a bottle in small supermarkets Erguotou is worth more than my family’s wine. Some time ago, the small workshop couldn’t survive and closed its doors, and my family’s wine-making skills may be discontinued in my generation. Sigh, what can I do, I can’t compete.”

"Well, there is a lot of competition in the market." Jiang Yuan replied absently, and turned his head to look at the corner, where there were layers of curtains, and the weak light from the candles could not reach that area.Jiang Yuan always felt that there was someone over there, not Piao Piao, not some monster, but a person, and he felt very familiar.

"That's right, it's no longer the time when the smell of wine was not afraid of deep alleys." Zhang Tianjiu sighed, "From now on, the Zhangjia Winery will disappear completely, I didn't say it, my ancestors came out of this old house , The ancient house is also my family's ancestral property, right? I wanted to come and see, when my ancestors were glorious, but I didn't expect it to become a ghost cave."

When walking around the ancestral hall, Jiang Yuan saw that the surname of many tablets placed in the ancestral hall was Zhang, and he also saw Zhang Tianjiu worshiping when others were not paying attention.

Amidst the crackling sound of burning candles, Zhang Tianjiu babbled on a lot, but Jiang Yuan didn't care about this, so he simply responded with a few words.He glanced at the time, it was already [-]:[-], and the next day would be ten minutes later, and Da Jin still hadn't come back.

The door of the main hall was pushed open, and the wind brought in caused the candles to flicker, and the light of the fire became erratic immediately. Four or five girls with beautiful looks walked in from the door, wearing costumes that can only be seen in costume dramas, with black hair. Her bright hair was braided and tied with a red string at the end.They served food or tea in their hands, and placed them on the small coffee table between Jiang Yuan and Zhang Tianjiu in turn.

"Guys, please use it."

The voice was so soft and soft that one's bones were crisp.

Zhang Tianjiu's gaze was still on the maid, but Jiang Yuan had already looked at the food that was delivered. It was not a luxurious and delicate snack, but the most famous noodle soup in Jinzhong. The clear noodle soup was boiled with big bones , with bright oil flowers floating on the surface, embellished with green, white and white chopped green onions, it is the best comfort for the stomach when you are hungry, and the ultimate temptation of color, fragrance and taste.

As the old saying goes, if you eat the food provided by ghosts, your soul will be drawn out and you will not be able to return home.

Resisting the temptation, Jiang Yuan forced himself to turn his head away from the delicious noodle soup, his expression was aggrieved and pitiful, his clear eyes showed accusation and stubbornness, he was hungry, and he still wanted to go home.

With a chuckle, Jiang Yuan looked at the curtain suddenly, the overlapping curtains were still the same as before, the chuckle seemed to be his own illusion.

"There is no problem with the food. It is made of wheat flour from living people." The voice was not loud, but it sounded dignified and majestic. The sauce-colored jacket skirt was paired with a horse-faced skirt embroidered with eight-treasure fringe wreaths. The woman's hair was pulled up in a simple bun, and a silver hairpin with not many patterns was inserted.

The woman's appearance is not very good, because she has been stained with the wind and frost of the years, and there are many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her brows are kind, her temperament is generous, and her eyes soaked in time are wise and calm. Sitting there, it seems that Mount Tai collapsed before her Will frown.

"Ms. Jing." Jiang Yuan already knew the identity of the woman in his heart, and it was Mrs. Jing who ordered half of the wine recipe in Kunwuju.

Mrs. Jing nodded, and said with a smile: "Boss Jiang sent it all the way, I'm so grateful."

"It's okay, this is what our shop should do." Jiang Yuan tilted his head and asked the doubts in his heart, "Has Mrs. Jing ever had any negotiations with my Dajin?" The feeling along the way is too strange, Gu The ghost in the house knew his identity, so he didn't forget to salute while frightening him, betting on the dignity of being the first in the exam every year, Jiang Yuan believed that there must be a premeditated plan.

Mrs. Jing generously admitted, "Shenjun has contacted me. This time, it is called delivery. It is actually a test of your courage. If you can meet me smoothly, you have passed. Congratulations, sir, for passing the test."

Jiang Yuan blinked speechlessly, Da Jin really didn't miss any opportunity to test himself, setting up so many ghosts would be better than destroying delicious food in front of him, the latter made him even more fearful and angry.Speaking of ghosts, he once heard the saying "hell is empty, and the devil is in the world". The ghosts in people's hearts are much scarier than real ghosts, and he has seen them before.

Mrs. Jing is the owner of the old house, providing a shelter for ghosts wandering in the world.After talking with Jiang Yuan for a while, she stood up and bowed slightly, "Sir, you should know from this child that my Zhang family has been brewing wine for generations, but the family fortune has fallen, and many recipes have been lost, so future generations cannot make a living on it. The wine shop is closed, the roots of the Zhang family are broken, and I can't do anything for my descendants, so I give him the remnants of the wine recipe, hoping that he can revive the family business."

Mrs. Jing looked at Zhang Tianjiu with a relieved and loving expression, "Come here, my child, let's talk in the inner hall." Zhang Tianjiu walked to Mrs. Jing's side in a daze, and stood obediently with his hands down.

Jiang Yuan had already delivered the package to Mrs. Jing, and his work was successfully completed when the courier receipt was collected. It stands to reason that he could leave and go home, but Da Jin didn't know where he went, so he could only sit here and wait.

Mrs. Jing said that the noodles on the table were edible, but Jiang Yuan looked at the careless and sloppy, and he was cautious. The delicious noodles were beautiful and delicious, but he didn't touch them. Same.

"Don't look, don't look, I won't eat." Jiang Yuan recited a mantra to himself twice, stood up limply, and stayed away from the food.

He walked to the door absent-mindedly, and looked out, hoping to see Da Jinbaihu's figure appear, so that they could go home.

There was another sound of footsteps dragging a broken leg in the darkness, accompanied by the sobbing "mine, mine".Jiang Yuan already knew that Da Jin was testing his courage in the ancient house, so he didn't close the door to escape. After a while, he saw something coming out of the darkness, and his eyes widened.

He was very courageous, and he didn't react too much when he saw the ghost before, but when he saw this ghost unexpectedly, he was still terrified.The carefully cut pieces of meat were barely assembled together, and they fell off from time to time when walking. It held the white skull in its hands, and its eyes were blind like two black holes.

"Have you seen it?" It walked to Jiang Yuan's side, tilted its head and asked stupidly.

Jiang Yuan kept silent.

It said to itself, "See... what? Hee hee, I forgot about it myself, it seems that there is something important, I forgot." Its throat was cut open, its voice was leaking, and its face was two A black hole stared straight at Jiang Yuan, "Can you give it to me? Give me back mine."

The ghouls approached Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan took a step back.The originally ordinary body parts were put in the wrong place, and there was an inexplicable sense of strangeness. The lips that were upside down and upside down opened and closed, and kept saying: "Mine, mine, can you give me a favor?" .”

Jiang Yuan continued to retreat, and when he retreated, he tugged on the curtain beside him, the heavy curtain fell down and hit the Ghoul Crusher, it was scattered all over the ground, not giving Jiang Yuan a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, the corpse wriggled and Put together.

This scene disgusted Jiang Yuan, and he took several steps back, leaning against the cold wall behind him, and there was no way to retreat.Helplessly watching the pieced corpses approaching again, Jiang Yuan thought about raising his leg and kicking vigorously, wondering if he could kick the Ghoul Crusher into pieces.

"Hehe, give it back to me." The Ghoul Smasher said a few words upside down, his dark eyes staring at Jiang Yuan motionlessly.

Jiang Yuan widened his eyes and aimed at the waist of the ghoul, ready to kick it, but was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body. Fingers scratched his forehead.

Warm palms covered his face, and the wall that was originally pressed against him became a broad chest.The breath is familiar, in the ten years before rebirth, how many stormy nights the two of them cuddled together, to use a common saying, "he knows him even when he turns into ashes".

"old……"

"Hush." ​​The person behind came to Jiang Yuan's ear and let out a soft sound.

Feeling itchy, Jiang Yuan turned his head to the side, and kept muttering in his heart: What kind of mystery are you playing, just face to face and speak clearly!His old man is definitely not an ordinary person, what happened in that previous life.

A mess in my head.

Jiang Yuan suddenly turned back and saw only the wall, he touched the wall in disbelief, it was very strong.

"Where is this side?"

Jiang Yuan turned around, there was no ghoul, replaced by a gentle young man.
