Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 43 This World Is Really Small!

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but smile knowingly. He seemed to have found the right salesperson. Liu Man's ability to attract customers is really extraordinary.

"Boss, you should say something, don't just watch the show."

"I let you say everything, what else can I say."

Qiao Xingnian smiled helplessly, and said: "Besides, I asked you to work as a salesperson in the tea house, and I didn't say I asked you to solicit this business for me. It's already enough to have you by my side, and I have one more ear Can it still be clean?"

Liu Man was immediately unhappy when she heard that, and said, "Boss, what you said is not right. You are a errand, so it's fine if you don't meet him. If you meet him, you are destined. If you are destined, you have to help. What's more, she has a relationship with me." Relationship, no matter how you say it, you can’t just let it go.”

"Does she have money?"

Liu Man turned to look at Liu Meng and asked, "Mengmeng, is your family rich? Can you pay me 1 yuan?"

Liu Meng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes. If you want him to help, do you have to pay 1 yuan?"

"This is the lowest salary." Seeing Liu Meng's hesitant answer, Liu Man said, "It doesn't matter if I can't, I can't afford 1 yuan. But the boss has a teahouse, and we can work in his teahouse to make money. , to pay him back."

"The remuneration I want is half of all your property. Since your property is less than 1 yuan, the minimum remuneration is 1 yuan. I don't know what's going on in her family, so don't just agree for me."

Hearing Liu Man's self-assertion, Qiao Xingnian couldn't laugh or cry.

"Boss, you are not short of money, so don't worry about it."

"I'm not short of money, but we also have our rules, and the rules can't be broken easily, otherwise a lot of trouble will be caused." Qiao Xingnian's smile disappeared, and his face became serious.

Liu Man had never seen Qiao Xingnian like this before, and felt somewhat uneasy.

Liu Meng said aloud: "Don't blame Xiaoman, my family has money, how much do you want, including Xiaoman's, I will give you a piece."

"I never said I would help you."

Seeing what Qiao Xingnian said, Liu Man quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Boss, I know I was wrong, and I promise I won't make up my own mind in the future. Please give me some face."

Liu Meng was dissatisfied with Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Xiaoman, don't beg him, people who are greedy for money are not worthy of trust, at worst, we should find ways to get revenge on our own."

"Mengmeng, the boss is not what you think. I was really self-righteous just now." Liu Man quickly smoothed things over and said, "Boss, I was wrong. I promise to ask for your opinion before doing anything in the future. Forgive me this time, how about it?"

In fact, Qiao Xingnian was not angry, but was only tempering Liu Man's temper. Knowing how to attract business is a quality a salesperson should have. It can make customers feel that she thinks about herself. It is Qiao Xingnian's taboo to make up his own mind.

"Liu Man, I don't need to care about playing around in private matters, but in business matters, I hope you can be clear about your position and identity."

"Yeah, I'll definitely pay attention next time." Liu Man nodded quickly, and asked tentatively, "The thing about Mengmeng..."

"I don't need his help." Liu Meng said suddenly.

When Liu Man heard this, he quickly whispered: "Mengmeng, don't be stupid, if you don't let the boss resolve the grievances on your body, if you want to be reincarnated, you will be sent to a deserted island to purify your grievances. It is said that people there will suffer grievances every day. The pain of separation, the feeling is that life is worse than death!"

Liu Meng turned her head to look at Liu Man, and then at Qiao Xingnian. It was obvious that she couldn't get off the stage.

"One hundred thousand, if you can afford it, I will help you."

How could Qiao Xingnian fail to understand her thoughts and set up a step for her.

Liu Meng's expression relaxed, and said: "I can afford it, and I will also pay for Xiaoman's money."

"What's hers is hers, what's yours is yours, and no one can replace anyone else."

Liu Meng wanted to say more, but was stopped by Liu Man and said: "Mengmeng, thank you! But the boss is right, I can pay my salary by myself, and I want to earn more money and send it to my family , can be regarded as the last bit of heart for them.”

"Hey."

The boy who was huddled in the corner suddenly made a call, which startled the three ghosts.

"Brother, I... I'm locked in the teaching building, it's so dark here, I'm scared."

The boy's eyes were red as he spoke, and the crystal teardrops were spinning. How wronged he looked, how wronged he looked, like an abandoned dog.

"The administrator is off work. I called my classmates but no one answered, and my mobile phone is almost dead. I... I don't know what to do."

Seeing the boy crying, Liu Man instantly overflowed with maternal love, and said, "Oh, this is too pitiful! Boss, why don't we let him out."

This time Liu Man learned to be smart and asked Qiao Xingnian for advice first.

Liu Meng was even more straightforward. When he came to the gate, he tried to corrode the lock with resentment.

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but sigh the power of masculinity, but I have to say that the boy's appearance is really pitiful, even he couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw it.

"Well, okay, brother, I'll wait for you, drive carefully on the road."

"There is surveillance here. If you broke the door lock, you will definitely blame him afterwards. Besides, his brother will come to school soon, so you should stay out of the world's affairs."

Liu Meng was startled, then withdrew her resentment.

"Then let's stay here with him and wait for his brother to take him out safely before we leave. Boss, what do you think?" Liu Man did not forget to ask Qiao Xingnian for his opinion after speaking.

"Okay, then wait here." Qiao Xingnian pointed to the seat opposite the boy, and said, "Both of you have resentment in your body, you should stay away from him, otherwise the resentment will enter your body and you will easily get sick. "

Liu Man and Liu Meng nodded, took a few steps towards the distance, and sat side by side with Qiao Xingnian on the ground.

Qiao Xingnian turned to Liu Meng and asked, "When did you die?"

"Last Christmas." Liu Meng looked at the boy, then looked away, and said, "Yan Feng asked me out for the holidays that night. I didn't want to agree, but looking at the photos he posted in Moments, he was actually with so many people." Let’s spend the festival together, without me alone, I feel uncomfortable, so I agreed to Yan Feng.”

Seeing Liu Meng stop, Liu Man answered, "Did he also drug you?"

"Well, we walked around the mall, had dinner together, and watched a movie. It's just that I was absent-minded. He should have noticed it, so he asked me what was going on. I hesitated, but I told him the truth. And proposed to break up. He said it’s okay, and encouraged me to chase after the person I like. At that time, I was completely defenseless against him, and I had a little more affection for him. Then he handed me a bottle of water, which disappeared after I drank it consciousness."

"Then when you woke up, were you taken into a big bedroom?"

Liu Meng nodded, her face was a little ugly, and she said: "When I woke up, I found myself tied to the bed, and Yan Feng was holding a red candle in his hand. When he saw that I woke up, he began to torture me. I cried and begged him to let me go. But the more I was like this, the more excited he was, and the more he tortured me..."

Seeing Liu Meng's body trembling unceasingly, Liu Man felt the same, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, everything is over. When the resentment on us is resolved, let's go to Hades to drink Mengpo soup together, so that we can forget those things. Suffering, ushered in a new life."

Liu Meng looked up at Liu Man and asked, "Are you the same?"

"Same." In order to comfort Liu Meng, Liu Man uncovered the scars in his heart.

Seeing that Liu Meng's mood had stabilized, Qiao Xingnian asked, "Do you have any special memories of that room?"

Liu Meng tried hard to recall, and said: "That room is very big, there are no windows, and the surroundings are very quiet, as if... a basement."

"It's the same as mine." Liu Man continued to ask, "Apart from this, do you remember anything else?"

"Before I woke up, I vaguely heard Yan Feng talking to someone, but I couldn't hear what they were saying, and I couldn't even tell whether the other party was a man or a woman." Liu Meng frowned, as if trying to put herself in the In the situation at that time, it was a pity that there was still no gain.

"Are you sure Yan Feng is not talking on the phone, but talking face-to-face?"

Liu Meng's frown became tighter and tighter, and her scarlet eyes were blank, but she said with certainty: "I'm sure Yan Feng is talking to someone face to face, I can feel that person's gaze projected on his body, hot and cold , a very strange feeling."

"Did you hear them speak before or after they were assaulted?"

"Afterwards."

"It seems that someone went to Yan Feng before you completely lost consciousness."

Liu Man interjected, "Boss, could that person be the murderer who killed us?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It's possible."

"Also, I really wanted to smell a strange smell at that time."

"What is the taste?"

"A very sweet, very sweet scent, not like a perfume, nor like a floral scent. There are other scents mixed in this scent, and I can't describe this scent."

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Liu Man, and asked, "Have you ever smelled this smell?"

Liu Man thought for a while and said, "No."

"That should be the smell from the person who talked to Yan Feng."

"By the way, Mengmeng, how did you and Yan Feng meet?"

"I was very sad when I failed to confess my confession that day, so I wanted to drink a cup of milk tea to comfort myself. We met in a milk tea shop. I was crying while drinking milk tea. He handed me a pack of tissues in a gentlemanly manner, and then returned to myself I also ordered a cup of coconut milk tea for me, which is my favorite milk tea, I wanted to give him the money, so I scanned his vx, he might have seen my vx account and added me."

Liu Man said angrily: "It seems that he has already set his sights on Mengmeng."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Liu Man, stand up."

Liu Man was startled, although he didn't understand, he still stood up and said, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xingnian looked at her carefully and didn't speak for a while.

Liu Man felt hairy when she saw her, and couldn't help asking again: "What's the matter?"

"Looking at it separately, every part of your body is perfect now."

Hearing this, Liu Man looked down at her body, and instantly felt that Qiao Xingnian's eyes just now were like a scalpel dismantling her body bit by bit, which made her hair stand on end.

Liu Man subconsciously swallowed the non-existent saliva, and said, "You mean this is his criterion for selecting targets."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Nine out of ten."

Liu Man looked at his current feet. Because of his death, the entire foot was bloodless, but he could still see its perfect shape. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was slender.

"Mengmeng, your feet are so beautiful!" Liu Man praised from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Meng stepped forward, squatted down, gently traced the pair of feet that had been with her for nearly 20 years, and said, "Many people say that, but you don't know how much effort I have put into these feet. If I had known earlier, I would have This is the result, I would rather not have these feet."

Liu Man sighed, and said with a wry smile: "That pervert took my head because he took a fancy to my face. Should I praise him for his vision?"

Liu Meng looked up at her and said, "You are indeed beautiful!"

"It's a pity that I only have a pretty face and no brains, and I was fooled by scum." After Liu Man finished speaking, he realized what was wrong, and said embarrassedly: "Well, Mengmeng, I don't mean anything else. Don't take it to heart."

Liu Meng shook her head and said, "You're right, I'm stupid enough to be fooled by that scumbag."

"Let's not talk about that." Liu Man looked at the boy in the corner and said, "What's his name?"

"His name is Lin Nanzhou, and we are classmates in high school."

Qiao Xingnian was startled, and then asked, "What did you say his name was?"

"Lin Nanzhou." Liu Meng looked at him strangely and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"I seem to know who his brother is." Looking at the overly handsome boy opposite, Qiao Xingnian sighed in his heart that the world is too small.

"You know his brother?"

"Well, if I'm right, his brother and I are good friends."

Liu Man thought for a while, and guessed, "Boss, this little milk dog's elder brother can't be the captain of the criminal investigation team, he seems to be surnamed Lin as well."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "This world is so small."

After waiting for more than half an hour, there was a movement outside the door. The boy stood up from the ground and shouted loudly: "Brother, I am here, brother, are you here?"

Lin Nanyue's voice came from outside the door, saying, "It's me, you wait there, we will open the door right away."

"It's really him." Liu Man said strangely: "Their brothers really don't look alike at all. If they didn't say it themselves, who would have thought that they were related."

Liu Man is telling the truth. Lin Nanyue and Lin Nanzhou really don't look alike. It's not that Lin Nanyue is ugly, but his facial features are tough, his outline is clear, and he is a standard tough guy image.And Lin Nanzhou's male and female looks are too beautiful. If you say that they are brothers, no one really believes it.

The door was opened, and Lin Nanyue appeared at the door. Lin Nanzhou rushed forward, hugged Lin Nanyue tightly, and said, "Brother, why did you come here? You scared me to death."

Liu Man looked at Lin Nanzhou who was hugging Lin Nanyue and acted like a baby, and said, "Well, compared to him, I think I'm more like a man."

As soon as Lin Nanyue entered the door and saw Qiao Xingnian, he was in a daze before being hugged by Lin Nanzhou.

Qiao Xingnian waved his hand and said, "Hi, Team Lin, good evening."

Lin Nanyue asked silently, "Why are you here?"

"I saw the message you sent, so I came here to check the situation. I didn't expect to meet your brother."

Lin Nanyue pushed Lin Nanzhou away, frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Lin Nanzhou looked at the administrator standing next to him, and said coyly, "I was fascinated by reading at first, but then I didn't know what happened. I fell asleep on the table, and when I woke up, I realized it was already so late."

Lin Nanyue turned to look at the administrator and said, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

Being called up in the middle of the night, no one would be too happy, but when he saw Lin Nanzhou's beautiful face, his unhappiness subsided a lot, and he said, "I can go to the library to read in the future, there are 24 hour reading room."

"Did you hear that?" Lin Nanyue turned to look at Lin Nanzhou.

"Understood." Lin Nanzhou looked at Lin Nanyue aggrievedly, bowed to the administrator again, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lin Nanzhou's sincere apology completely dispelled the administrator's displeasure, and said, "It's okay, it's late, let's go back quickly."

Everyone left the teaching building together, the administrator left, and Lin Nanyue took Lin Nanzhou out of the school.

Liu Man looked at Lin Nanyue and said, "Boss, shall we go too?"

Qiao Xingnian looked around and said, "Don't go, since you're here, let's walk around."

Hearing Qiao Xingnian's words, Lin Nanyue couldn't help turning his head to look, took out his mobile phone as if to make a call, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

"Okay." Lin Nanzhou responded obediently.

Lin Nanyue held the phone, faced Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Why don't you go back so late?"

Qiao Xingnian knew that Lin Nanyue was talking to him, and said: "It's hard to come here, and I have to walk around, maybe I will find something."

"You still have to look at the store tomorrow. If you don't go back so late, how can you be energetic tomorrow?"

"Team Lin, you forgot again, I'm a ghost, and ghosts don't get tired."

Lin Nanyue was silent for a while, then said, "Wait for me, I'll send him back first."

"No need. Team Lin, you've been tired all day, you should go back and have a good rest. What's more, you are a human being, and it is impossible to walk freely in the school."

Lin Nanyue frowned and said, "Okay then. Be careful, call me if you need anything, and I'll be right over."

"it is good."

Lin Nanyue put away his phone, turned to look at Lin Nanzhou, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Nanzhou nodded and followed Lin Nanyue out of the school.I can't get into the dormitory, so I'd better go home first and come back to class tomorrow.

Qiao Xingnian took Lin Man and Lin Meng into the Soul Soul Bell, and walked aimlessly in the school by himself.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Xingnian came to the Department of Medicine, looked up at the teaching building not far away, and at the clinical laboratory building next to him, and quickly looked away.He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a faint resentment.

Qiao Xingnian looked back and walked in.He followed that resentment and walked forward slowly, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.

What happened at the bottom of East Lake is vivid in his memory, and he doesn't want it to happen again.Bypassing the teaching building, Qiao Xingnian continued to walk forward, getting more remote and desolate, until an abandoned building appeared in front of him.

Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly. You must know that with the growing reputation, Huda has become a well-known university in China, and the number of students has doubled compared to before, which can be seen from the repeated expansion of the teaching building.He didn't expect that under the situation of repeated expansion, Huda still had such a large abandoned building.

Under the not-so-bright moonlight, the abandoned building looked a little gloomy, and faint resentment rose up, as if covered with a thin layer of black veil.

The resentment just now was to lure him over, which made Qiao Xingnian even more vigilant, and raised his voice and said, "Isn't it a little rude for the master not to show up when the guests come?"

The surrounding area was very quiet, and no sound could be heard. Qiao Xingnian waited for a while, but did not receive a response.

The feeling of danger did not disappear, but became stronger and stronger. He frowned and looked around defensively.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past, and the surging resentment convinced Qiao Xingnian that a resentful ghost flew past just now.

"Little year..."

The familiar voice in memory sounded, Qiao Xingnian's body couldn't help trembling, he turned around tensely, and saw the familiar face.

The man looked at Qiao Xingnian, with a smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes, and said, "Xiao Nian, where have you been? Why can't I find you?"

Childhood memories surged in his mind, Qiao Xingnian's breathing became chaotic, and instinctive fear made his body extremely tense.

"You are not him!"

Qiao Xingnian forced himself to calm down and stared at the man opposite him coldly.

"Xiao Nian, it's been a long time since I saw you, and you forget me? Even if you forget me, can you still forget it?"

The man's hand behind his back stretched out, holding a belt in his hand. The metal head of the belt is in the shape of a tiger's head. It is solid, and it hurts especially when it hits the body.

Qiao Xingnian was stunned, his hands were clenched subconsciously, and his breathing became disordered again.

He forgot everything, and it was impossible for him to forget the belt. He couldn't remember how many times he had been beaten, but he remembered that it was the belt that ended up on him every time.

Cold sweat ran down his cheeks, Qiao Xingnian stared at the belt tightly, breathing more and more heavily.

"Xiao Nian, did you hear that?" The man shook the belt in his hand and said, "It said it missed you."

"You're not him!" Qiao Xingnian took a deep breath and recited the "Pure Heart Mantra" silently. His breathing gradually recovered, and his chaotic heart calmed down.

Qiao Xingnian didn't hesitate anymore, he drew a spell in the air, and the golden spell was quickly formed, and then it was issued.

The man didn't dodge or dodge, seeing the spell hitting his body, with a "bang", the man's form was broken up and turned into a thick resentment, violently rolling and surging, followed by densely packed black snakes crawling out of the resentment After coming out, he rushed towards Qiao Xingnian extremely quickly.

Those little snakes are formed by invisible resentment, once they touch the skin, they will directly burrow into the body, slowly corrode the flesh and blood in the body, until they are assimilated, or turned into a pool of blood.

Qiao Xingnian didn't rush in this time. Instead, he chanted a spell silently and hid in the Soul Requiem Bell. The situation outside was unknown, so it was better for him to be fully prepared before going out.

"Boss, why did you come in, what's going on outside?"

Liu Man and Liu Meng were chatting, when Qiao Xingnian suddenly appeared, Liu Man couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Qiao Xingnian asked without answering, "Have you ever been to the medical department?"

Liu Man and Liu Meng looked at each other and shook their heads one after another.

"Boss, you went to the medical department, what's wrong?"

"There is an abandoned building in the northwest corner of the medical department, and there is a grieving ghost inside." Qiao Xingnian paused, and then said, "No, there should be more than one."

"Are you talking about the abandoned anatomy teaching building of the Faculty of Medicine?"

Liu Meng looked a little nervous, her eyes staring unconsciously.

"If there is only one abandoned teaching building in the Faculty of Medicine, I think so."

Liu Meng swallowed instinctively, and said, "It's famous for being haunted there, and no one in the school doesn't know about it."

"You are a ghost now, don't be so nervous."

Liu Meng was startled, then smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I didn't realize it for a while."

"I've also heard about the ghosts there. It's said that a student was under so much pressure from studying that he had a mental problem. One night, he set fire to the anatomy building and committed suicide.

Since then, the building has been haunted. It is said that a few students did not believe in evil, insisted on exploring to the death, and then disappeared, neither alive nor dead.

The parents of the students came to make trouble, and the police also came to investigate, but nothing was found, and they could only be treated as missing.

Later, this kind of thing happened several times one after another, and the school abandoned the building, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. "

"That said, there are quite a few grieving ghosts in that building."

"That's right." Liu Man seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Boss, you're not in that abandoned building right now."
