Chapter 9 Chapter Eight: The Face Clinging to the Glass Door Late at Night

Taozi's face changed when she saw Song Zhengwen answering the phone.She thought that something must have happened to Manager Song.As soon as she came back from signing a contract, she saw Song Zhengwen answering the phone. Song Zhengwen was supposed to sign the contract, but Song Zhengwen didn't go and let Tao Zi go.Recently, Song Zhengwen is always out of his mind. There are a few commercials that Song Zhengwen has negotiated, but Song Zhengwen didn’t sign them. What's more, Song Zhengwen must have encountered some trouble. Ever since Song Zhengwen invited her to dinner that day, she has been afraid that Song Zhengwen will invite her to dinner again.She was afraid of seeing Song Zhengwen's weird eyes.As long as she thought about what happened that night, she couldn't calm down.

That night, after Tao Zi and Song Zhengwen had dinner, Song Zhengwen invited her to drink at a bar called Su Qianhuang on Wushui Road.Taozi didn't want to go at first, but because Song Zhengwen insisted on going, she was too embarrassed to offend him, so she had to go. Taozi knows this bar, which is quite famous in Chiban City. Su Qian Huang, this is the name of a courtesan in Shanghai in the 1930s.Therefore, Su Qianhuang has become synonymous with debauchery, seduction, and nudity.It is said that this is the most rotten bar in Chiban City. Wang Jiawei's queen cameraman Du Kefeng once indulged in it when he was filming a movie in Chiban City.

Stepping up the spiral ladder, walking straight, there is a soft bed at the end.Just like Wong Kar Wai, like "Chongqing Forest" or "Evil and West Poison", Su Qianhuang creates a kind of psychedelic like drunkenness and dreams.After one cup, two cups, many cups, you will be temporarily intoxicated, dreaming of life and death.Perhaps because of Su Qianhuang's style, it has become the place where the most bewitching beauties gather at night. Tao Zi thinks she is a beautiful woman, but she is not a bewitching beauty. Maybe she has fantasized in her heart to make herself a bewitching woman, because she is so charming, but she has never tried.She felt that being a lady was also good, so as soon as she and Song Zhengwen entered Su Qianhuang's bar, she was forced to hold her head down by the mood in the bar.She wants to leave.

After she sat down with Song Zhengwen, she looked left and right, because it was too early, and those strange women hadn't shown up yet.This bar won't be lively until at least eleven o'clock, and there are only two drinkers in the bar at this time, she and Song Zhengwen. Song Zhengwen ordered a glass of vodka, while Tao Zi ordered a glass of juice for herself. She warned herself not to drink with her boss. Tao Zi didn't expect that Song Zhengwen, who is usually gentle and elegant, would drink strong alcohol like vodka, and he didn't even add ice cubes. Tao Zi couldn't remember what Song Zhengwen said in Su Qianhuang's bar. She felt that Song Zhengwen's words were very obscure that night, as if it was the language inside.Taozi only remembers two sentences: Who took away my happiness?Who stole my love?

He said these two sentences after he drank three glasses of vodka in one breath. After listening to his two sentences, she saw the green light in Song Zhengwen's eyes. His strange eyes made Tao Zi feel dangerous.She said to Song Zhengwen, Manager Song, I'm leaving, I still have something to do. As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhengwen stretched out a hand towards her, and grabbed her in front of her, as if trying to grab something, but he didn't grab anything. Tao Zi was terrified, his strange eyes and his action made Tao Zi stand up and leave in a hurry.Tao Zi made a vow in her heart: she would never come to Su Qian Huang Bar with Song Zhengwen again, this is not a place for women like her to patronize.Taozi casually looked at Song Zhengwen's black leather bag which was put aside, she suddenly remembered that dream, and Taozi's heart tightened for a while.

Susie Yellow Bar, it was a psychedelic dream, she didn't know, after she left, Song Zhengwen sat alone for a while, and left that place as well. Thinking of this, Taozi was a little wary of Song Zhengwen, a man who was usually gentle and elegant. She couldn't figure out the inner world of this man, and she thought it was unnecessary for her to figure it out.If she felt uncomfortable working under him, she would ask to work in another department. If there was no other way, she would leave the company. She could not wrong herself, and there was no need to wrong herself. After Song Zhengwen answered the phone, he glanced at Taozi and said, Taozi, I have to take a step ahead. If the boss calls me, you can say that I have gone to discuss business.

He left in a panic without waiting for Taozi's answer. Tao Zi originally wanted to report to him about the business signed today, but Song Zhengwen didn't seem to care whether the contract was signed or not at all, as if there was some important mission for him to complete.Taozi laughed at herself, spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders, made a gesture of helplessness, sat in her seat, and turned on the computer. She clicked on her mailbox and found an email of her own. She saw that it was a picture sent by her female classmate. She said, what funny picture did this guy send today?She opened it and was startled.She saw a picture, on a blue background, a gray face with long hair, a sad look in the eyes, and a slightly open mouth.When I first saw it, it was a man's face, and after a while it turned into a woman's face.Tao Zi deleted this horror picture, she doesn't like this kind of eerie horror picture, after seeing it, she will have nightmares at night.

Taozi turned her head to the window, and she saw a blue sky.She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the city under the sun with mixed feelings. Someone once asked her, do you like Chiban City? At that time, her answer was, she didn't like it. The man said, why? She didn't answer any more, thinking to herself, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Why do you need a reason? Now, she thinks this city is still very beautiful. She was a little dazed looking at the city, it was a beautiful big home. Her heart trembled suddenly, she left the window and came to Song Zhengwen's desk.Taozi's eyes fell on the wastebasket, there were a few balls of paper in it, her curiosity drove her to pick up those balls of paper and see what Song Zhengwen wrote on them.

Tao Zi looked at the door, but there was no one there.She walked out the door and looked at the corridor. The corridor was empty and there was no one there.She went back to the office, closed the door, and locked it. After doing all this, she walked to the wastebasket with confidence and picked up the few balls of paper. Taozi felt a little nervous, as if she had become a thief, her hands trembled slightly. Taozi thought for a while, and called Song Zhengwen, who asked her what was the matter on the phone. Tao Zi said, Manager Song, are you coming back to the company this afternoon? Song Zhengwen said, is there anything urgent?

Tao Zi said, no, I just want to ask you whether you will return to the company or not. If you do, I will report to you about work. Song Zhengwen seemed extremely impatient, Taozi, let's talk about it tomorrow, I have something urgent to do, I won't be going back to the company today. After speaking, he couldn't wait to hang up the phone. Tao Zi put down the phone, she looked at the balls of paper on the table, her heart fluttered, she didn't know if she should unfold them, to see what Song Zhengwen wrote on these white papers. When Song Zhengwen rushed to the hospital, the child had stopped crying.The child is lying on the hospital bed, already asleep.A needle was stuck in the child's foot, he was receiving fluids, and a cold towel was placed on his head.The child's lips were dry and blistered, and his eyeballs were swollen, obviously from crying too much.

The child's pitiful appearance made his mother sit on the edge of the bed and wipe away tears, while Song Yawen also stood aside, showing anxiety and guilt. The appearance of Song Zhengwen made both Wang Qin and Song Yawen feel uneasy. Song Zhengwen looked at his poor and lovely son on the hospital bed for a while, his eyes were anxious and blurred.Song Zhengwen stared blankly at his son for a while, then turned his head to his wife's side, and asked coldly, what's wrong with the child? Wang Qin wiped away tears again and said, I went to see my dad for a while today, and Yawen called to say something was wrong with the child, so I rushed home and found the child had a fever, so I sent him to the hospital.The doctor said it was acute pneumonia. Song Zhengwen's expression was very strange, his eyelids kept shaking. Seeing his eyelids trembling constantly, Song Yawen's heart was pounding.She knew what it meant when her brother Song Zhengwen's eyelids twitched. It was a signal that only she knew about. Maybe even her parents didn't know about Song Zhengwen's signal. Song Yawen's legs trembled a little, and the air in the ward suddenly became dull. Song Zhengwen murmured, how could this happen?How did that happen? Song Yawen suddenly said, brother, it's all my fault, my fault for not taking care of the baby at home. Song Zhengwen looked at Song Yawen, and suddenly smiled. After he finished laughing, his face immediately changed to its original appearance, it was a piece of ice, ice that made people feel cold. Song Yawen was terrified, she didn't know what her brother Song Zhengwen would do. Wang Qin also looked at Song Zhengwen strangely, and Song Zhengwen's strange expression was rare in her eyes. Song Zhengwen said after a while from the boss, it's okay, the baby will be fine, the child's resistance is weak, and it's normal to get pneumonia, don't blame yourself, you have no experience in raising children. As soon as his words came out, Wang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but her tears were still pouring out, she was feeling sorry for her son. After Song Yawen heard Song Zhengwen's words, the worry in his heart was not relieved.In a sense, she knows Song Zhengwen better than Wang Qin, although there are many things about Song Zhengwen that are still a mystery to her.Song Yawen thought of the mysterious cat lying on the baby's body again. She dared not tell her elder brother and sister-in-law about the white cat. If she did, Wang Qin would definitely hate her.Wang Qin will think that the cat brought the virus to the baby, and Wang Qin will blame her for being irresponsible and not optimistic about the baby. What puzzled Song Yawen was, where did the white cat come from and where did it go?Will it reappear in the baby? Thinking of this, she glanced at the sleeping baby again, and there was nothing on him. At this time, the sky outside the window had already darkened, Song Yawen looked out the window, the leaves of the camphor tree outside the window did not move, and there was no wind. Song Zhengwen saw that his younger sister Song Yawen was still frowning, so he said to her, Yawen, you can go back, there are me and your sister-in-law here, don't want so many people here. Song Yawen stood there without moving, as if she wanted to say something. Before Song Yawen could speak, Wang Qin spoke, Yawen, go back, this day is enough for you. Song Yawen said, I think it is better to let brother go back to rest, he is also working hard, and he has to go to work tomorrow.Sister-in-law, you and I will stay here to accompany the baby. Song Zhengwen looked at the child, but he didn't express his opinion. Wang Qin thought for a while and said, Zhengwen, I think Yawen is right, you can go back. Song Zhengwen said in a muffled voice, it's still early, let's talk about it later, Yawen, go out and buy three fast food and come back, you should be hungry too. Song Yawen said, okay, then I will go. Song Yawen left the ward with her head down. Song Yawen found a person in the corridor looking furtively into a ward. She suddenly thought of the case of the baby's disappearance the night before her sister-in-law gave birth, and immediately became vigilant.She seems to have seen this person somewhere before, so thin.She was a little nervous, and she turned back to the ward. Song Yawen said to her elder brother and sister-in-law, you must take care of the baby! Brother and sister-in-law looked at her with strange eyes. Song Yawen went back to the corridor and found that the person had disappeared. Wang Qin wiped her eyes again, and she whispered to the child, baby, it's all because mother didn't like you. Song Zhengwen sat down, he sighed, what's the use of blaming yourself, you don't know whether children are more important than old people. Wang Qin said that everything is important. Song Zhengwen said, you don't understand what I mean. Wang Qin said, I understand, how could I not understand. Song Zhengwen lowered his voice and said, I don't want to quarrel with you. Wang Qin said nothing, she just looked at the child. Taozi didn't leave the office even when it was dark.She has completely spread out the few balls of paper.The white paper is full of scribbled words, and the words on each page are exactly the same.It is conceivable that after Song Zhengwen finished writing one sheet, he copied another sheet, wrote and copied again.Tao Zi didn't understand why he wrote these words, what did it express?What was his expression when he wrote these words?Peaches knew nothing. If Taozi found out that Song Zhengwen's writing on the paper was random for the first time, it didn't make any sense, but now, Taozi doesn't think so.She felt that what Song Zhengwen wrote was the expression of her soul.What is hidden in his heart? The anxiety, cruelty, and struggle that can be seen from his words make Taozi puzzled. The words written on the paper read: Who are you?why are you hereWhy can't I stop you from coming?You're ignoring my painful feelings, you're making me feel like a sun-baked fish on a dry river bed.Your presence makes me lose the color of my life.Your devilish smile makes me tremble, I dare not face you, face your silent provocation, your contempt for me makes me live in darkness.Your claws in the dark hurt me, made me bleed, made me angry without revenge.I dissected you a thousand times and ten thousand times in my heart, abandoned you in the wilderness, and let the wild dogs tear your body apart.I hate you in my waking hours, I'm scared of you in my sleep, who are you?Why do you haunt me like a nightmare, making me miserable?My sky is controlled by you, and the sunlight I need is blocked by you. I can't bear such torture. I want to break through your curse, and tear apart the net you have laid for me.But who gives me strength?Who heals my wounds when I'm hurt?No one sympathizes with me, I am the loneliest person in the world.The love I longed for in my life was stripped away, disintegrated, and I couldn't believe the reality.To whom should I cry, to whom should I cry?My hideous face was uncovered by you. I am a bunch of walking corpses that should be destroyed.But I am still alive, living in reality, the more real the more painful, in fact I should not be born, I was cursed on the day I was born, and I have accepted suffering since the day I was born.I have been disfigured over the years, and I can't find anyone I can trust to give me strength and love.why are you hereWhy?Are you a gift from the devil to me?Such a cruel gift, how can I bear it, who will save me... Taozi read the words written by Song Zhengwen again, and she was terrified. At this time, she was really afraid that Song Zhengwen would suddenly appear in front of her and said to her, Taozi, please come and comfort my hurt heart. Taozi's heart twitched, and she suddenly remembered the scratch on Song Zhengwen's neck. She thought that Song Zhengwen was indeed going through a crisis, and Taozi had no way to understand the truth.Taozi crumpled up the papers again, threw them back into Song Zhengwen's wastebasket, and then opened the door to leave the office. When she walked out of the office, a wave of heat rushed towards her, and the weather was really hot.According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, this year's high temperature weather will be longer than in previous years, and it has only started for a few days now.She didn't know when the hot weather would end, Tao Zi didn't like summer, she preferred autumn, everything would be better in autumn season. She suddenly thought, if after such a hot weather, it enters the refreshing and cool autumn, will Song Zhengwen write beautiful words on the white paper?Will his mood be as good as the clear and high sky in autumn? Perhaps everything about Song Zhengwen was caused by the extreme heat. Taozi knew that Song Zhengwen was afraid of heat, so he always came to the office sweating profusely, and always turned the air conditioner to the lowest level.If this is the case, Song Zhengwen's anxiety and struggle are understandable, and his mind can be restored to calm, which is of course Taozi's best imagination.The kind-hearted Taozi certainly doesn't want to imagine others as devils, especially her boss. The scorching heat was no problem for the pony, he was not afraid of the heat.His skin is always cold in the hottest weather, and he doesn't sweat, he is cold-blooded.Many times, he will think that he is a cold snake, but he does not think he has the spirituality and danger of a snake.Even so, the pony still hoped that there would be another violent storm to wash away the bloody smell permeating Chiban City. The pony stood under a street lamp and looked up. He saw many moths jumping at the light bulb. People passing by him gave him disgusted glances, and then turned their eyes to the light bulb that the pony was looking at. . They must have wondered what the pony was thinking, was the pony thinking, would the light bulb burst under the impact of the moth?Will it burst under the pressure of the strong smell of blood?Will his heart burst too? When the pony was staring at the street lamp in a daze, someone patted him on the shoulder, and the pony turned around in horror. He saw the policeman Huang Xiaochu. As soon as the pony saw him, he became frightened, and he knew that he must come again to urge him to move out of the security box.The pony stammered, Officer Huang, I, I... Huang Xiaochu seemed to understand what he was going to say, he said, pony, don't be so afraid, I'm not a tiger, I won't eat you. The pony lowered its head, not daring to look at his grim face and the big cap on his head. Huang Xiaochu's tone suddenly became gentle, pony, I want to talk to you. The pony is beating a drum in his heart, what is he going to talk to me about? The pony raised his head and said, I haven't eaten yet. The pony wanted to use this sentence to reject him, but Huang Xiaochu said happily, "I haven't eaten either. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's talk while eating." The pony couldn't believe his ears, Huang Xiaochu would invite him to dinner?It was literally the sun coming out of the west. Huang Xiaochu saw the pony standing there in a daze, so he said, pony, I invite you to dinner, did you hear clearly? The pony really heard what Huang Xiaochu said this time, he really wanted to invite him to dinner.The pony was at a loss, he didn't know what kind of medicine Huang Xiaochu was selling in his gourd, he didn't know whether this meal was a blessing or a curse for him.The pony said softly, Officer Huang, is this not good, let you spend money to treat such a useless person like me to dinner? Huang Xiaochu said, what's wrong, you are also a citizen of the People's Republic of China, we are equal in a sense, besides, it's part of my job to invite you to dinner, to maintain a close relationship between the police and the public. What is he saying?God, he said that I am a citizen, and he wants to have a close police-civilian relationship with me?The pony was a little dumbfounded.Pony can't believe that he is a citizen of this country and that he is just a dirty city mouse. Seeing the pony's hesitation, Huang Xiaochu said, pony, don't think so much, let's go. said the pony, where are you going? Huang Xiaochu said, let’s go to Sichuan Restaurant on Friday. In the eyes of pony, Friday Sichuan restaurant is no less than the imperial palace. For many years, he has not even been to ordinary small restaurants. The most luxurious place he has eaten is Li Laoer's ramen shop.Asking the pony to eat at a Sichuan restaurant on Friday is the same as asking him to enter the palace. Pony said, Officer Huang, don't go to such a good restaurant. Huang Xiaochu said, what a good restaurant, next time I will treat you to seafood at Tiantian Fishing Port. The pony was terrified. Pony thought to himself, Officer Huang, please stop talking.I am carrying that dilapidated military kettle, carrying that big woven bag, and wearing dirty clothes. How can I go? I will embarrass you Huang Xiaochu if I go, that snobbish Wang Daguang will definitely let his chefs use it. The kitchen knife kicked me out. The pony said to Huang Xiaochu, Officer Huang, let me change clothes. Huang Xiaochu looked at him and said, go, I'll wait for you. The pony came to the security booth, changed into a set of clean clothes, and cut his hair.The pony was about to walk out of the security booth, feeling something was wrong.He thought for a while, and it was the red children's shoe that was causing the trouble. He took out the red children's shoe from the trouser pocket of his dirty trousers, put it in the trouser pocket, and then walked out of the security booth.For the first time in years, the pony walked out of the security box as easily as a human being and onto the street. Huang Xiaochu said, Pony, you still look like a human being after tidying up! The pony smiled shyly.Then, the pony limped along behind Huang Xiaochu and walked towards Friday Sichuan Restaurant. Because Huang Xiaochu invited the pony to dinner, everyone in the Sichuan restaurant on Friday looked at the pony in amazement, and some people pointed at him.Wang Guangda shook his head and tail in front of them like a dog. The pony looked uncomfortable, so he led them into a box. In fact, as soon as the pony entered the Friday Sichuan restaurant, he looked around for the fat girl Xiao Wu, but he didn't find Xiao Wu.Pony had a question in his heart, where did Xiao Wu go? The pony is very strange, why does he miss Xiao Wu?No one would understand why he missed Xiao Wu. He had only missed one woman in his life, and that was the dead Donna. She was undoubtedly the pony's first love. love. The pony took the opportunity to go to the toilet and asked a waiter, where is Xiao Wu? The waiter answered him with a smile, Xiao Wu didn't come to work today. The pony said, why didn't you come to work? The waiter said she was sick. The pony asked again, what disease did she have? The waiter is getting impatient, how do I know?You go ask her yourself. The pony didn't ask any more questions. After entering Friday's Sichuan Restaurant, Pony found that the strong smell of blood had disappeared.He was very surprised, why did the strong smell of blood disappear? Is it because the delicious food I haven't seen for a long time dispelled the smell of blood?Or is it because my nose is filled with the aroma of the stir-fried vegetables ordered by Huang Xiaochu?thought the pony. Facing Huang Xiaochu's table full of dishes, the pony was a little apprehensive. Even though he found that his stomach was so empty and needed delicious food to fill it up, he still didn't dare to act rashly. Huang Xiaochu said to him, you can eat the pony, you are welcome.Do you want to drink? liquor?What is wine?The pony was a little confused. Who can imagine that the pony has never even drank alcohol in his life. The pony nodded, and Huang Xiaochu asked for a few bottles of beer for him to drink.The meal satiated the pony, the best he had ever had in his childhood! Huang Xiaochu said a lot to the pony while he was feasting, and the pony understood that Huang Xiaochu was going to find him a job.Pony didn't know whether he agreed to him at that time, anyway, when Pony walked out of Friday Sichuan Restaurant after dinner, he forgot everything Huang Xiaochu said. Somehow the pony broke up with Huang Xiaochu, Huang Xiaochu may have gone back to his home, but the pony limped towards his security booth. When Song Zhengwen walked out of the subway station with heavy steps, he saw the pony.The pony seemed to be drunk. When he passed by Song Zhengwen, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.Song Zhengwen gave the pony a disgusted look. Song Zhengwen said, pony, where are you drinking, are you so drunk? The pony said in a daze, what?Who do you say is drunk?Do people in this world get drunk every day?Is it fun to get drunk? Song Zhengwen said, pony, you are really drunk, go home and sleep. The pony said again, home?What home?do you have a home Song Zhengwen didn't want to talk to him anymore, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw something falling out of the pony's trouser pocket. That thing caught Song Zhengwen's attention. He picked it up and took a closer look. It turned out to be a brand new red children's shoe.Song Zhengwen looked at the red children's shoe obsessively, and thought to himself, how could this shoe get on the pony? He was in a daze when the pony ran back suddenly, snatched the red children's shoe from his hand, and held it tightly in his hand. Song Zhengwen saw a red light in the pony's eyes. The pony was muttering something. He couldn't hear what the pony said, so he left the pony in a panic and hurried away. The red children's shoe shot through Song Zhengwen's heart like a sharp arrow. He said to himself, what's going on?How is this going? He seemed to see a woman holding those red children's shoes, her eyes were full of happiness.He seemed to see that happy woman crying suddenly again because the red shoe in her hand was missing.It hurts her heart to look sad. The woman disappeared so quickly, Song Zhengwen felt a huge stone pressing on his heart, and his breathing became short of breath.Strangely, he thought of Fat Po Wu at this time.He once walked into Fat Granny Wu's house late at night. The smell in Fat Granny Wu's house was so bad that he couldn't tell what it was.He asked Fat Granny Wu to do something for him, but Fat Granny Wu refused him.Wu Feipo also told him one thing about this.Fat Po Wu said that often in the middle of the night, she would be woken up by the crying of the baby.As soon as she woke up, she found that many babies were crowded on her bed covered in blood. At that time, Fat Granny Wu would get out of bed by accident, walk out of the house, and take those babies to the alleys and streets... Fatty Wu didn't show up at the vegetable market for a few days, Suzaku'er felt a little uneasy, she was really afraid that Fatty Wu would die.That way, she couldn't explain clearly. At that time, many people saw her going to ask Fatty Wu for money. It was late at night, and the heat wave was still rolling outside the Violet Shampoo Shop. When Zhu Que'er was washing a guest's hair, Cui Cui let out another scream. The proprietress asked her, what's wrong? Cui Cui pointed at the door glass tremblingly and said, that is, it is the face of Granny Wu. All eyes in the store were drawn to the glass door, but they saw nothing. The proprietress reprimanded Cui Cui, what's the matter with you, you are always suspicious and talking nonsense! Cuicui was very wronged, she said, I saw Fatty Wu's face pressed against the window glass, and it disappeared in a flash. The proprietress said, what are you afraid of if Fatty Wu is here?It has nothing to do with you again. Zhu Que'er said, this is a psychological effect, I know Cui Cui is worried about me.Cui Cui, don't be afraid, she is really here, I'm arguing with her, it has nothing to do with you. Cui Cui said, what are you talking about, I am not worried about anything, what I am worried about is that Wu Feipo's ghostly face will appear on the glass door again. The proprietress went out, and she looked at the street, except for the occasional pedestrian passing by on a bicycle, there was nothing. The roiling heat wave prompted the proprietress to retreat into the shampoo shop.She was going to go home, but she didn't dare to go alone, because she heard what the taxi driver Xiao Wu said. She asked her husband to pick her up, but the bastard went somewhere, and the phone was also ringing. No way.She knew that this bastard was going to drink and pick up girls again. Men nowadays are fucking unreliable, and there is no good thing. The proprietress felt that she was very sleepy. After the customer Suzaqueer had left, there were no customers in the shampoo shop, leaving the three of them alone. The proprietress kept looking at the hundred-yuan bill that the guest gave her under the light. Zhu Que'er said, Ma'am, don't worry, I've seen this piece of money, it can't possibly be from the underworld, so don't be suspicious.This customer is a regular customer and lives behind the vegetable market. It can't be wrong. If you find out that it is a Ming note, I promise to exchange it for you tomorrow, unless the person is a dead person. At this time, the glass door of the shampoo shop suddenly opened, and they were all stunned. It turned out that the customer just now turned back with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. As soon as he came in, he said, Suzaku, who are you talking about? Is it dead? Suzaku'er reacted quickly, she quickly said, I didn't say anything dead, why are you back again?Do you want me to wash you again? The man said angrily, wash your hair, if you want to wash it again, my scalp will bleed.I dropped my lighter with you. After speaking, he found his lighter exactly, turned around and walked out of the shampoo shop, disappearing into the night of the city. Zhu Que'er made a face towards the door, and there was a bald-headed man talking by himself on the old TV set in the shampoo shop.He was talking while drinking red wine, but they didn't pay attention to what the old bald man was talking about. It is said that it was a very famous program. Every night late at night, the bald old man would drink alone. Talking about something over the glass of wine. The proprietress saw that there were no people walking around on the street, and she probably didn't have any customers coming, so it was time to close the shop. She said to Zhu Que'er, Que'er, you live alone in the store at night, I asked Cui Cui to accompany me home, and she stayed at my house at night. Zhu Que'er poured a glass of water, took a sip and said, you can take a taxi and go home. The proprietress said, what if the taxi driver takes me to a crematorium or a cemetery in the suburbs after I get in the car?Passengers have evil ways, and I don't believe that taxi drivers have no evil ways. You know that I am not afraid of anything, but these eerie and dirty things are the most afraid of me. Zhu Que'er said, living people are more terrifying than ghosts, you are not afraid of even the fiercest of living people, but you are afraid of dead ghosts, really! The proprietress seemed a little impatient, she waved her hand and said, Suzaku'er, don't talk so much, Cui Cui, let's go! As he said that, he picked up his bag and looked like he was about to leave. Cui Cui looked a bit reluctant, did she really go? The proprietress said, let's go, what I said won't count, don't dawdle, it will be dawn in a while. Cui Cui left with the proprietress in anticipation of Ai Ai. Before leaving, the proprietress told Zhu Que'er, Zhu Que'er, you must lock the door and don't go out wandering anymore. The world is not peaceful now, so be careful. Zhu Que'er said, Got it, you guys get lost! After they left, Suzaku'er closed the glass door and locked it.Through the glass door, she could see the movie theater next to the Baijie shopping mall diagonally across the street. The outside of the movie theater was empty, and there were no ghosts.Sometimes she saw ponies sitting on the steps, but there were no ponies tonight. She suddenly remembered the tall woman that the taxi driver Xiao Wu had mentioned. Thinking of this, Zhu Que'er immediately looked away from the Sunshine Cinema, and quickly closed the thick black curtain to block the mysterious night of the city. outside.Suzaku'er took a shower, then came out, and dried her hair in front of the mirror. She saw that her face in the mirror was a little pale, no matter how she looked at herself in the mirror, she didn't look like herself, she believed that her face would not be so pale, every time after taking a bath, her face was flushed, Suzaku'er I dare not look in the mirror.She was afraid that if another woman's face suddenly appeared in the mirror, she would be frightened to death. After drying her hair, she was still not sleepy. At this moment, she really hoped that Ah San or Chef A Bian from Friday Sichuan Restaurant next door would call and invite her to have supper in the bustling neighborhood of Chiban City.She turned up the volume on the TV.At this time, the bald man drinking red wine and chatting on the TV had disappeared, and commercials were playing tirelessly on the TV. She picked up the remote control and kept changing channels. There was no TV program she liked. She simply tuned to a music channel and listened to a female singer singing a soft song. She threw the remote control aside and said, shit, she can't sing as well as me. How can she be a singer? But I'm here as a shampoo girl? Then, she found a nail scissors, and cut the nails on her own. As she was cutting, Suzaku'er seemed to feel that there was a person standing behind her, and she seemed to hear that person's breathing.She stopped cutting her nails, and the hairs all over her body stood on end one by one, and she didn't dare to take a breath. The female singer on TV disappeared at some point, and there was no sound at all on the TV screen, only a snowflake remained. Zhu Que'er said to herself, Zhu Que'er, it's okay, you don't have to be afraid, there is nothing. She slowly held her breath and turned her head, looking back, there was nothing. When her eyes were searching behind her, she suddenly heard the sound of the hair dryer, which seemed to come from the direction of the TV, and Suzaku'er turned her head from behind to the front. Suzaku'er slowly opened her mouth wide, and she clearly saw a long-haired woman blowing her wet long hair on the TV screen with her back facing her.Zhu Que'er trembled nervously, she touched the remote control with her hand, and turned off the TV with a bang. There was silence in the shampoo shop, and Suzaku'er felt someone behind her again, so she didn't dare to turn her head.She felt her neck itch suddenly, and she reached out to touch her neck, and there was a lock of long hair on her neck, it was definitely not her hair, her hair was not so long and thin. Zhu Que'er's face changed, she let out a cry, and threw away her hair. At this moment, Zhu Que'er heard a knock on the door. who is it?Suzaku'er's heart rose to her throat, and when she was at a loss, she heard someone calling her name outside the door, and when she heard this voice, a stone in her heart fell to the ground. She opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, a heat wave mixed with a strong smell of alcohol rushed in, Suzaku'er frowned, and she said to the drunk-eyed man who came in, "Boss, how much wine have you drunk?"Hurry up and go home, the proprietress has already gone back. 老板反手把门关上了，又拉上了门帘，他朝朱雀儿嘿嘿笑了两声，用舌头舔了舔嘴唇说，我知道她回去了，翠翠也陪她回去了，洗头店里就你一个人，我才来的。 朱雀儿听了他的话，心里明白了怎么回事，他没安好心，想占她的便宜。 尽管很多男人都占过朱雀儿的便宜，但朱雀儿是不会让他得手的。朱雀儿看着他惺忪的醉眼闪动着一种绿光。她说，老板，时间不早了，一会儿就天亮了，我要睡了，你快回去吧。 老板朝她扑过来，一把抱住了她。 他满是酒臭的嘴巴在朱雀儿的脸上脖子上乱拱起来，他的口水也流在了朱雀儿的脸上和脖子上。 她心里一阵一阵的恶心，她使劲把老板推倒在地上，说，老板，你快回去吧。这事要是被老板娘知道了，她非剥了你的皮不可！ 老板从地上爬起来，朝她逼过来，他说，你别提那个臭娘们，你以为我怕她！哼，今天我，我吃定你了！ 朱雀儿用老板娘震不住他，心里害怕了，她不能让他得手，否则以后她就没法在这里混下去了。 朱雀儿灵机一动，她冲进厨房拎了一把菜刀出来，她凶狠地对老板说，你给我出去，你要不出去，我就砍死你！ 老板看到了那把锋利的菜刀，他的酒好像醒了，他站在那里说，朱雀儿，你真敢砍我？ 朱雀儿表情严肃地说，敢！ 老板这才回转身，走到了门边，他打开门，出去了。 临走时，他扔下了一句话，朱雀儿，你会后悔的！ 朱雀儿走过去锁好门，说，什么东西！吃软饭的家伙，想占我的便宜！ 说完，她又想老板来之前的事情，她浑身的寒毛又竖立起来，她又拎起了那把菜刀，大声说，我不怕，不怕，有什么东西就现身吧，我朱雀儿今天和你们拼了！ 她的话音刚落，门外又响起了敲门声，她拎着菜刀站在那里，心想，又是谁呢？ 往常，她睡下后，也会有些人来敲门，比如对面星期五川菜馆的大厨阿扁，比如出租车司机小吴，比如失踪了的吴肥婆的儿子阿三，他们有时洗完头后会把她带出去。此时，朱雀儿真希望敲门的人是个能把她带出去的人，她今天夜晚绝对不收他们的过夜费。 但朱雀儿转念一想，会不会老板不死心又回来了呢？如果是这样，她就很没意思了。如果老板对她不动那个歪念头，她或许会把他留下来，让他陪她说话到天亮，有个伴，她就什么也不怕了。问题是，老板是一头狼，她不想把自己这只绵羊送到狼的嘴里，因为还有另外一只更凶狠的狼在老板的后面，那就是老板娘。 敲门声又响起来了，朱雀儿问，是谁？ 门外没有人回答她。 朱雀儿又说，谁在门外敲门？快说话呀！ 门外没有人回答。 朱雀儿可以听到一辆汽车掠过街道的声音，那声音渐渐远去，直至消失。 敲门声又响起来了，朱雀儿有点发毛了，她想，会是谁呢？如果是熟人，一定会说话的，因为他们都不是哑巴，而这个时候来，他们都一定猴急得很呢。 朱雀儿想了想，觉得还是老板，他一定是不死心，他不说话到底是为了什么呢？朱雀儿搞不懂了。 朱雀儿慢慢地走近了门边，她的右手上还是拎着那把锋利的菜刀，她来到了门边，感觉到门外真切地站着一个人。那个人是谁，其实她一无所知。她站在门边，待了一会儿，她的左手撩开了沉沉的门帘布，她看到玻璃门外昏暗的路灯下的确站着一个人，那人不是洗头店的醉鬼老板，也不是星期五川菜馆的大厨阿扁，更不是阿三和出租车司机小吴，那是个女人，女人面对着洗头店的玻璃门披头散发浑身是血地站着，女人的眼中流着泪水，女人慢慢地走过来，把脸贴在了玻璃门上，女人的嘴巴张开着，好像要和朱雀儿说话…… 朱雀儿惊叫一声，她手中的菜刀当啷一声掉在地上，她的胸脯起伏着，她喃喃地说，我这是怎么了？朱雀儿脸色煞白，凡人东路入夏后的一连串事情让朱雀儿害怕和不解，这个世界到底怎么啦？No one answered her question.
