Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 95 Wu Man (Fourth Update)

In the following days, Xiao Ran's life became more and more relaxed.

Maybe because the funeral supplies store on the street was burned down by a fire, Xiao Ran's business has been getting better and better recently, sometimes even so good that Xiao Ran feels it is a bit too much.

The gold foil ingots that were usually in overstock have recently started to sell out, forcing Xiao Ran to order another batch from the wholesaler.

He opened the shop during the day and went to the farmers' market to sew up corpses at night.

After three days, he had accumulated more than forty talismans of various kinds.

I occasionally catch up on some sleep, but basically I can’t sleep for more than three hours.

I felt like I was wound up, full of energy, and even practicing sword skills in the backyard every day felt like I had nowhere to vent.

"Om..."

Xiao Ran took out his cell phone and it was a call from Huang Le.

"Would you like to drink tonight? I'll treat you. How about we have hot pot?"

Listening to Huang Le's voice, it seemed that this guy was in a good mood. Xiao Ran guessed that after this guy went back, he followed the method he told him and improved the situation of his own store.

"Tonight..."

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come over? There's a small restaurant near my house that tastes pretty good. I have something else to do after dinner tonight."

"Row!"

After Huang Le hung up the phone, he drove over in more than half an hour.

Xiao Ran took a look through the glass and saw that this guy had finally fixed the messy stickers and store names on the car back to normal.

"Not bad, at least you know how to listen to advice."

The last time Xiao Ran rode in Huang Le’s car, he felt terrible.

The car was full of condoms and various small toys, which really opened his eyes.

"Xiao Ran, I didn't expect you to be in the funeral supplies store. No wonder."

Huang Le walked into the store and was a little surprised when he saw the funeral supplies shop in front of him, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. Otherwise, how could he not be afraid of ghosts and know so much.

"I had nothing to do in my spare time at the family store, so I just took it over as a way to support my family. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to just sit there all day."

In fact, if Xiao Ran wanted to, he could live a very carefree life with the paper money he had.

But Xiao Ran still felt that it was more reassuring to stay in the store.

"Xiao Ran, what else do you have to do tonight? If it's really important, I'll go back first and won't delay you."

Huang Le was speaking sincerely, and was not deliberately trying to trick Xiao Ran.

"It's nothing important, it's just not convenient to walk too far."

Today is exactly the seventh day since the [Auspicious Funeral Home] was burned down. The first seven days is the night of the return of the soul. Xiao Ran is still worried about Xiao Qi who is outside the door.

So I planned to prepare something for them tonight. If their parents came home, I would let Xiaoqi and her brother go with them. If not, I would find a way to send the two children away.

After all, the ghosts wandering in the world of the living actually live a life more miserable than beggars.

It would be fine if it was exposed to wind and rain, but after a long time, the negative energy in the body dissipated, and only a little obsession would remain floating there, making one confused and unable to be reborn.

It would be fine if I could hide in Beimang Mountain by myself. The place is full of yin energy, and many wandering souls would stay outside for a while and then go back to Beimang Mountain to rest.

But Xiao Ran felt that the two children would probably not run away anywhere else, so it would be best to send them away as soon as possible, which would also put his mind at ease.

Xiao Ran roughly told Huang Le what had happened.

This also included the fact that he killed Xue Hongling. He did this to see Huang Le's reaction and to remind Huang Le so that he wouldn't always think that other initiates were as kind as himself.

Ok……

I guess I am kind.

At least when it comes to living people.

"Damn it, good job. If it were me, I would find a way to kill her too."

Huang Le listened to what Xue Hongling said and immediately clenched his fists.

People's happiness may not be the same, but some emotions are very easy to resonate with.

For example, when it comes to the matter of children, Huang Le also has children. When he learned that Xue Hongling did not even let go of the child, he couldn't help but feel murderous.

"Then I'll go with you tonight."

"it is good."

The two chatted for a while, Xiao Ran gave the white cat some cat food, then closed the shop and went to eat with Huang Le.

He remembered that there was a small shop behind the street, which was run by a couple. The food was good, but the business was average, mainly because the place was a bit remote. It was only in recent years that it was developed well and there were some people. In the early years, people in Los Angeles would say that this person lived on Beimang Mountain.

Xiao Ran would occasionally go there for a meal. After all, there were not many people there and he could just find a table outside the door without worrying about the smell on his body affecting others.

After a while, they became familiar with each other. Although the couple knew what Xiao Ran did, they never disliked him. The proprietress would even occasionally secretly add an extra poached egg to Xiao Ran's food.

Even though he knew that this was a way for others to attract regular customers, Xiao Ran was still very happy every time he ate there.

Xiao Ran hasn't been there for some time, and he really misses it.

However, before he reached the door of the store, he saw from afar that the door of the store seemed to have been renovated again.

Not only were the steps at the entrance renovated, but even the windows at the entrance of the store were changed into transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.

Through the glass, you can see a solid wooden dining table inside with two warm white chandeliers hanging above it.

The original counter is gone, replaced by a transparent kitchen.

"what?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little strange, thinking: "Aren't these two couples good at living? Why are they so depressed?"

What a damn place. They have nothing better to do than to open such a high-end small restaurant. I’m afraid they can’t even make back the money spent on decoration.

"Did they change people?"

Xiao Ran thought that this was still a possibility. He was afraid that some idiot had gone home to start a business.

A freshly slaughtered yellow cow was hung in front of the door.

It looks quite intimidating.

But when Xiao Ran and the others walked over, the yellow sign above the restaurant just lit up. Xiao Ran took a look at the name on the sign and his face suddenly turned cold.

Huang Le also noticed the sign and said in surprise: "Huh?? He changed his business to sell hot pot?"

I saw a line of words written on the light yellow sign above my head: [Happy People Spicy Hot Pot]

After Huang Le finished speaking, he noticed that Xiao Ran beside him looked a little unhappy, and immediately asked alertly: "Xiao Ran, is there a problem?"

Before Xiao Ran could say anything, the young man he met at the temple fair came out with two kitchen knives. When he saw Xiao Ran and Huang Le, he was very surprised: "Huh? You guys..."

Then the young man grinned and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence, do you want to eat? I haven't officially opened yet, but you came at the right time, so I can treat you to a free sample."

Xiao Ran didn't respond, but walked quickly into the store, glanced around and asked coldly, "Where are the original couple?"

"Aunt and uncle? Do you recognize them?" The young man pointed at the old photo hanging on the wall.

The photo showed the couple who had opened a shop here before. The young man was standing next to the couple with a smile on his face and a very intimate look.

But Xiao Ran didn't care about that. It was so easy to fake something like this. Before the young man could make any move, the black machete was already on his neck: "Call the phone, I want to hear their voices!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, took a look at the black machete pressed against his neck, and couldn't help but praise: "This knife is great."

"Call up!"

Xiao Ran's pupils narrowed, his cold murderous intent no longer concealed in the slightest.

Seeing this, Huang Le closed the door tacitly and stood in front of the glass.

The young man opened his hands, put down the kitchen knife, and then slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Instead of making a call, he started a video call directly.

After a while, the couple appeared on the phone.

"Wu Man, what's wrong? Is the opening of the new store going smoothly?"

On the phone, the proprietress was wiping the powder off her face and looking back at the camera.

The young man pointed at himself, indicating that he was Wu Man, and then said; "It went smoothly, it seems someone is looking for you."

As she spoke, she transferred the video to Xiao Ran. Seeing Xiao Ran, the proprietress smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's you. I'm sorry. My husband and I are planning to go back to our hometown, so I'll transfer the store to my relative. But don't worry, he's very good. He's the champion of the cooking competition."

Xiao Ran didn't say anything, just staring at the lady boss. At this time, the boss also popped his head out of the camera and added, "National Cooking Competition Champion!"

Seeing the two of them appear in the camera at the same time, Xiao Ran finally relaxed a little. However, he still didn't quite believe such a coincidence. But at least the couple didn't seem to be in any danger and were alive and well, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, I am not a policeman, nor am I a company employee. They can open a store wherever they want, and I have no right to interfere.

Putting down the knife, Wu Man talked to the aunt and uncle in the video for a few more words, then walked back with a smile, stood at the food delivery port in the kitchen, and asked through the glass, "No questions, right?

So……

What would you like to eat?"

　I have reached 12 words today. I will write the fifth update before o'clock as soon as possible.
