Chapter 6 Old House [1]
Chapter 6 Old House [1]
After Su Chi hung up the phone, he remembered another thing.
She clearly remembered that she fell asleep suddenly in front of the bedroom door, but when she woke up, she was lying comfortably on the bed.
Thinking about it this way, Su Chi recalled all the changes that happened before he fell asleep this trip, and he was full of doubts.
Now that the trouble had come to him, Su Chi didn't hesitate, changed his clothes after washing, and went to the shop.
The weather was too hot, and there were no people on the street. As soon as Su Chi opened the door of the supermarket, he heard the noise from the corner container.
"Meow! Meow!"
"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"
"Oh! My God! My God!"
Su Chi quickly walked around the container, and after seeing the absurd scene in the corner of the supermarket, he took a step back silently.
I saw her poor, chubby store manager being forced to the corner of the container. In the aisle between the two rows of containers, a yellow-haired hen was surrounded by a big white fat three-colored cat and a white-haired sharp-billed cat. The fox was surrounded in the middle, and the yellow-haired hen looked around frantically, terrified like a little chick amidst the two salivating gluttonous eaters.
The store manager was the first to see Su Chi, with a mournful face as if seeing a savior, and hurriedly called for help: "Little Xiao Su! A hen ran out of nowhere, and then a cat and a cat sprang out. Dog, they both seem to be trying to grab the hen, look! It's about to fight!"
The three-colored white cat, Su Chi, recognized him as a well-known street ruffian in this downtown street. He often robbed Su Chi of food in front of the supermarket, but compared to the white cat, the white-haired fox Su Chi Even more familiar.
"Little cage." Su Chi called out in a deep voice.
The white-haired fox wags its tail, its two bright black eyes never leave the plump hen for a moment, and the pointy fox's mouth is only about to shed crystal saliva.
The shop manager thought that Su Chi was calling Xiao Long, so he quickly waved his hands and explained, "That kid Xiao Long just ran away to nowhere, and he's not in the shop now."
Su Chi turned back to the cash register, took out a mahogany sword from the store manager's collection from the cabinet below, and began to drive away the Sanhua white cat. Su Chi hissed fiercely.
As soon as the white cat ran away, the white-haired fox on the field immediately gained the upper hand. Its pointed ears on both sides trembled excitedly, ready to go, and rushed towards the hen.
It's a pity that it jumped halfway, and Su Chi caught it by the neck. Su Chi lifted it up and threw it out of the door mercilessly.
The fox rolled several times on the hot road outside the door before stopping. It was also stunned by the fall, and sat on the ground stupidly, looking at Su Chi at the entrance of the supermarket in confusion.
Su Chi didn't even look at it, turned around and left.
In the supermarket, the store manager carried the yellow-feathered hen to the cabinet, first expressed his condolences to Su Zhi's body, and then asked what to do with the chicken, worrying about the country and the people.
"If you go out, you will die. Either you will be eaten by a hungry wild cat, or you will be eaten alive by that fox." Su Zhi said without raising his head, "It's better to stew it into chicken soup, and forget it."
The hen immediately buried her face in the shop manager's arm. The shop manager's face was wrinkled into a rag, and she couldn't bear to say: "...I don't know whose chicken it is. It's not good to eat it."
The door of the supermarket was pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Long happily rushed in, "I know who's it is! Leave it to me! Woohoo!"
A mahogany sword slammed heavily on the hand reaching out to the hen from the upper cage.
Su Zhi held a long wooden sword in his hand, and looked indifferent like a female Taoist priest who exterminated human desires, "Take the cage and lock the chicken, and wait for the master to find it by himself."
A hammer is fixed.

Xiaolong became angry because he couldn't get chickens, so he hid in the warehouse and ate chicken feet with pickled peppers in bags.
The store manager got an iron cage from nowhere, and actually kept the hen at the entrance of the supermarket. He was busy buying food for the hen, and Su Chi stood beside him, asking about the man who fell from the top floor of the building before she went to bed. .
"That man died so badly. I heard that there was not a whole bone in the smashed head." The store manager turned pale when he heard this, "I already burned the paper money that day, and tonight is the first seven. Ask the mage to come over, we just wait."
Su Chi nodded, and asked about Xiaolong's movements in the past few days.
"In the past few days when you were away, she was on the night shift. Except that the snacks in stock had been running low, there was nothing wrong with it." The store manager boasted: "Although she is playful, she can be seen to be a good child. Don't be so strict with her, you can praise her occasionally."
"...She is older than me." Su Chi muttered.
The store manager didn't hear her voice clearly, raised his head and asked in doubt, "What did you say?"
Su Chi shook his head, turned around and walked straight into the small warehouse of the supermarket.
It is said to be a warehouse, but it is actually just a narrow storage room. It is usually full of goods, and there is not even a place to sit down.
Xiaolong was sitting on a cardboard box in the warehouse with her legs crossed, spitting out chicken bones into a plastic bag. When she saw Su Chi, she turned around angrily, making it clear that she didn't want to talk to her.
Su Chi closed the small door of the warehouse, and went straight in with a low voice, "You moved me to the bed?"
"I can't let you sleep on the ground." In the darkness, Xiao Long's eyes were as bright as stars, "But you really slept for a long time, and you can't wake up no matter how you scream."
Su Chi stared at Xiaolong vigilantly for a while, then suddenly asked, "Have I seen you before?"
Xiao Cage neither answered nor made any moves, but stared straight at Su Chi with those sparkling eyes.
Su Chi frowned and asked, "I saw you when I was young, didn't I?"
"Did you think of me because of that dream?" Xiao Long finally spoke.
Su Chi asked suspiciously, "Do you know what dream I had?"
Xiao Cage said with a smile: "That's not your dream at all, it's just a memory I put in your consciousness, so that you can remember that I have known you since you were very young."
Su Chi looked at Xiao Long in surprise.
Xiao Long smiled and bit a piece of chicken bone, cracking crackling.
Su Chi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then tentatively asked, "Your name is Xiaolong? Then do you know that my brother is also called Xiaolong?"
"He," Xiaolong said casually, "wasn't he called Xiaolong because of the dragon's horns on his head when he was just born? It's different from me. It's called Xiaolong."
Su Chi never thought that this stranger who appeared out of nowhere would even know the most important secrets of their family, and his face was unconsciously slightly nervous, a little at a loss.
Even though she was in the dark, Xiao Cage could still sense the change in her mood, and she smiled openly, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."
Bad guys don't even admit they're bad at first.
Su Chi's mind has already quickly figured out a whole set of plans to leave the city and avoid the cage.
Xiaolong seemed to have guessed her thoughts, stood up suddenly and jumped in front of Su Zhi, and stopped him: "I finally found you, you must stop running around!"
She was too close, and the hot and sour smell rushed straight into Su Zhi's eyes as soon as she opened her mouth, making Su Zhi's eyes sting immediately.
Xiaolong got anxious and moved closer, "Su Chi, don't go anywhere!"
Tears welled up in Su Chi's eyes, and he pushed her angrily, "Shut up!"
Hearing that her voice was wrong, Xiao Long shut up peacefully.
Su Chi wiped away tears, and asked calmly, "How much do you know about me?"
Xiaolong said innocently: "I guessed something. The ancients said that there are four kinds of dragons. Those with scales are called Jiaolong, those with wings are called Yinglong, those with horns are called horned dragons, and those without horns are called Chilongs. When you were born, you were just a Ordinary baby, so your father named you Su Chi, so your brother who was born with dragon horns should be called Su Qiu, right?"
"...you..." Su Chi was speechless.
It was all hit by her.
Xiaolong pinched the clothes on Su Chi's shoulders, and said softly: "I know you won't remember me, but I remember you, Su Chi, when I returned you to your father, I promised to come to you when you grow up , now I’m here to find you, don’t run away.”
Su Chi simply didn't know what to say, she didn't have the slightest impression of what Xiaolong said, but she had an intuition that Xiaolong didn't lie to herself, these were true.
It's just that she doesn't remember it.
"Since you can make me dream, why don't you demonstrate what you said in my dream? Or let them happen directly in front of my eyes just like your prank illusion that night." Su Chi said: "In this way, I You might be able to remember it.”
"But I don't like this." Xiaolong took a step back, sat back on her snack carton, and repeated sullenly, "I don't like this."
"Why?" Su Chi was puzzled.
This is obviously the fastest and easiest way.
The store manager's voice sounded outside the door, "Xiao Su, Xiao Long, are you in the warehouse?"
Su Chi didn't get a reply from Xiaolong, and didn't wait any longer. She pushed open the door of the warehouse, walked back to the supermarket, and replied, "I'm here."
"Since you're here, let Xiaolong go back to rest, she's been tired for many days," said the store manager.
"Okay." Su Chi agreed, turned around and opened the small warehouse door, the light from the supermarket shone into the small warehouse, and in the narrow storage room, except for a bag of broken chicken bones, there was no figure of the angry girl.
---
At night, the family members of the man who fell to his death arrived one after another, and the first seven sacrifices they brought were spread out on the street, attracting everyone's attention immediately.
There were loud cries and discussions outside, Su Chi stood in the supermarket and looked out through the glass door wall.She saw the wife of the deceased in the crowd, and the woman obviously saw her too, but she didn't go up to say hello, but turned her head indifferently, as if she didn't see her.
"Isn't she your friend?" The store manager looked out curiously behind Su Chi, "She came to see you the night the accident happened."
"I don't know her." Su Chi turned around and said indifferently, "I don't have any friends either."
Because the first seven ceremony was going to be held outside, the store manager temporarily moved the hen cage to a corner of the supermarket and covered it with an oilcloth.
When Su Chi was about to add food to the hen, he saw a sneaky little cage in front of the hen's cage.
The key to the cage was hanging around the store manager's neck, and Xiao Cage secretly fiddled with the lock for a long time, but he couldn't open the cage, so he simply squatted in front of the cage, staring at the hen.
"Didn't you leave? Why are you back?" Su Chi put his arms around his chest and looked at her coldly, "Is this chicken really so charming?"
"Hahaha." Xiaolong, who was found, turned his head scratching his white hair. When he saw Su Chi with eyes that were still smiling, his eyes immediately fell on a position two steps behind her, and said coldly: "You still have face. Appearing here? Get lost, this is not a place for you!"
Su Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xiaolong's condensed face immediately softened, Taohua's eyes widened, he kept waving his hands and said in a false voice: "I didn't mean you, definitely not you!"
Su Chi followed her gaze and looked behind him - there was nothing.
"The person who killed you is outside. Instead of looking for that person, you come here to pester innocent people." Xiaolong stood up, turned his face faster than a book, and approached Su Chi full of viciousness, threatening: " Are you so impatient with life that you want to be ashes when you die?"
Su Zhi only felt a gust of cold wind blowing behind her, and after her scalp became numb, everything went on as usual. She looked at Xiaolong suspiciously, "You..."
However, Xiao Long changed from his cold face to Yan Luo before, and swept Su Chi's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile, "It's all right, he has already gone out."
Su Chi looked at the bustling scene outside the supermarket, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it the man who fell to his death?"
"Yeah." Xiaolong raised his finger and pointed out the door, "That guy is standing beside his wife right now."
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the young wife's complexion is indeed quite dark, definitely not healthy.
"... Oh." Su Chi nodded, looking as if he had nothing to do with himself.
Evil comes with evil, that's all.
