The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 22 Where did I eat just now? A ghost restaurant?
Shen Le was very satisfied with the performance skills of the waitress Xiaoyu. This skill would never ruin the puppet.

Even so, he still wanted to discuss the terms:
"I rent this puppet to you, don't break it!"

"Of course! We are using her for performances, we won't give her to naughty kids to play with!"

"If you find anything strange about her, notify me to pick her up. Don't throw her away carelessly. Don't throw her into a soup pot, into the stove, or chop her up with a hammer or an axe!"

"I will never do such a thing! Don't worry!"

"What time do you send her here in the morning? What time do you pick her up in the evening?"

"How about 8 to 5?"

"Sure! - By the way, there is only one puppet, and it is not convenient to perform many puppet shows. Do you want to order another puppet?"

"Okay!"

The lady boss's eyes flickered and she looked at Shen Le with a smile:
"Then order another one, a male one, a young man, just right for this one. Two thousand yuan, including makeup and clothes. I'll give you a deposit of one thousand first?"

A pleasure to work with.

You can buy clothes cheaply in stock, the price can be controlled within two hundred yuan. We have stock of wood and silk thread.

After shipping the goods in ten days, I made a net profit of eighteen thousand. Oh yeah!
Shen Le happily signed the contract with the boss's wife and walked out holding the puppet.

When I was halfway to the door, I was suddenly stopped by the diner who was sitting in the corner of the lobby and had said "give him a bowl":

"Wait a minute."

The man, holding a cigarette in his mouth, stepped closer. Shen Le frowned slightly and wanted to take a few quick steps to avoid the secondhand smoke, but unexpectedly the diner suddenly took a deep puff of cigarette and blew it towards him:

"call……"

Before Shen Le could react, his entire body was enveloped by pale white smoke. Hey! What kind of character is this? Spraying secondhand smoke into someone's face!

Just as he was about to jump up, he suddenly felt a warmth all over his body, as if something cold and dark that had been clinging to his body had been driven away by the puff of smoke:

"what?"

He moved his shoulders, then twisted his neck, and looked at the other person in confusion. The diner had already smiled and walked away, returning to the corner to talk to his girlfriend:
"Would you like another helping of ice cream?"

Uh...is that it?
What is this cigarette of yours?

Shen Le looked at the man from afar for a while, and seeing that he completely ignored him, he could only walk out in disappointment.

As soon as he walked away, he heard footsteps behind him. Seven or eight waitresses came out from the corner of the lobby, the kitchen, and the door, rushing to his back:

What?

Find me?

Shen Le turned around quickly and saw the girls flying back and forth in the wisp of white smoke that had not yet dissipated, like butterflies.

What do you mean?
Is this white smoke some good thing?

But no one paid any attention to him, so Shen Le shrugged and left. He walked out of the restaurant a few dozen steps and looked back -

Huh?
closed?
The neon lights of the store signs were turned off, and every light in the lobby was turned off.

Even the restaurants on the side facing the old street had all their doors closed, with no one around.

Wait, where did I eat?
What did I just eat?!

Shen Le was at a loss for a moment, standing on the old street, with countless thoughts rolling in his mind. What about traveling in the middle of the night, living in a mansion, and waking up in the morning to find that it was an abandoned grave;

What if you walked into a restaurant in the middle of the night, had a big meal, and woke up in the morning to find that the meat was mud, the rice was maggots, and the wine was yellow mud soup?

What about staying overnight and catching up with the host who was having a wedding, eating a meal together, and waking up in the morning to find that the delicious food and wine on the plate was full of human blood, human brains, human livers, and human fingers...

No, wait! If it was such a terrible scene, my copper plate would have warned me, and the puppet would have warned me too!

Shen Le tried hard to stay rational. He did not immediately bend down to pick his throat, nor did he rush to the hospital to go to the emergency room and request gastric lavage.

He calmed down, took out his mobile phone, and opened Alipay:
“嗯，晚上8点52分，支付54元。晚上9点03分，收入转账1000元……”

It shouldn’t be fake, right?
Even in these stories, the magic of the haunted house in the desolate graveyard is limited to the house and does not extend outside the house.

Moreover, Shen Le really didn't believe that there was any monster's magic that could affect Alipay——

Alipay’s main server is thousands of miles away!
Thinking of this, Shen Le temporarily put aside his worries and went home with the puppet.

Lying on the bed, I pinched, pressed, and poked the copper sheet, then touched the two raised strokes, one dot and one horizontal line, and kept tracing:

"Hey, is there any technique you can share?
Last time it was the Five Animal Exercises, is there anything more powerful this time?

Allow me to refine Qi, build foundation, and form elixir?

Or run faster and with more strength?
At least, at least, let me communicate with the big camphor tree in the house, and let it help me look after the house?"

The copper piece spoke no words, did not vibrate, and made no sound.

However, Shen Le suddenly felt that he was being pulled into a dark space. In front of him sat a translucent human figure, with a red line rising straight up from the human figure's lower abdomen:
A heat also rose in Shen Le's lower abdomen, led by the red line, rising from the Mingmen, Dazhui, and Yuzhen points on his back all the way up to the Baihui point on the top of his head.

He naturally raised the tip of his tongue and touched the upper palate, and the heat flowed along the center of his eyebrows and his tantra, all the way into his dantian.

Wherever I went, my whole body felt warm, as if I had generated infinite strength out of thin air, and it was as if my thinking became a hundred times quicker.

However, the heat only circulated for one and a half circles before he felt empty and weak all over, as if half of his blood had been drained away, or as if he had just finished a 5,000-meter run.

"That's right! To refine essence into qi, to refine essence into qi, is to use the essence of the human body to transform it into internal qi. My body's reserves are not enough, so I can't cultivate internal qi. I definitely can't force it..."

Just as I thought of this, a warmth suddenly rose in my stomach, spreading throughout my body. The warmth gathered and pushed the heat to turn another half circle, and then it turned seven circles in a row.

After nine consecutive circles, a surge of warmth enveloped his eyes and ears. Shen Le stood up and opened his eyes, and was surprised to find that he could clearly see the table, cabinet, desk and stool in the room without turning on the light.

There was even a ball of red light on the roof of the opposite house, and a green cloud in the distance in the next yard...

"Hey! It really works! By the way, what's that warm feeling behind me? Could it be the mutton noodles I had tonight?"

It was obviously not worth going to Tianxianglou again in the middle of the night for this problem. Moreover, it was already closed. If I went there again, I would not know whether it was a human shop or a ghost shop...

Shen Le had no choice but to look for another target. He left the courtyard, crossed the alley, stepped into the third courtyard on the east road, and ran straight to the big camphor tree in the southeast corner:

"Sister A-Lu? Sister A-Lu, can you hear me? Can you talk to me?"

He asked three times, but the big camphor tree stood silently, with only the wind making the leaves rustle, just like any normal, ordinary big tree.

Shen Le had no choice but to raise his hand and pat the tree trunk, then pat the tree trunk again:
"Sister A-Lu? Sister A-Lu?"

"Noisy!"

A branch suddenly flew down and swept across Shen Le's shoulder. The force was gentle, but definitely not small, like a broom sweeping the floor, sweeping Shen Le out of the tree canopy:

"sleeping!"

"Uh... sorry to bother you, Sister A-Lu. I'll come see you in the morning..."

"I'm not any sister!"

"Then... Brother A-Lu?"

"Neither!"
