I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 298 Yang Xiao: Please protect my wife and son for the rest of our lives!
The man was not very old, probably in his twenties or thirties. He was wearing an old-fashioned shirt and was looking down at Lin Yuan.

His face was very clean and sunny, but it also revealed a bit of weirdness.

The appearance was very similar to Yang Jian, but more like a painting, or rather, a photograph.

He was looking at Lin Yuan, his numb eyes revealing a hint of confusion, but he had no intention of contacting Lin Yuan. He turned around and walked into the room.

But he stopped after taking just two steps.

A piece of paper appeared in front of him. Looking closely, it seemed to be torn from a diary, with irregular tears on the edges.

The paper was very old and there was not a single word on it.

But the next moment, the paper disappeared on the spot, but a figure appeared. It was Lin Yuan who was standing downstairs just now.

The man's pupils shrank slightly, "How is it possible? Can you use supernatural powers?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The so-called impossibility is just because of insufficient level. The so-called law of inevitable death is just because of insufficient strength. Yang Xiao, you don't even understand this principle, right?"

The man, who was already shocked, was even more incredulous at this moment, "You know... him?"

"he?"

Lin Yuan looked the man up and down, then held out his hand and said, "Tell me your story."

The corners of the man's mouth twitched. The feeling of this inexplicable atmosphere being destroyed made him feel indescribable awkwardness, so he chose to shut up.

Lin Yuan didn't mind. "Don't want to tell me? It doesn't matter. I know a lot about you."

"Really? Then I'd like to hear it." The man said indifferently, obviously not believing what Lin Yuan said.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "People live by memory. Your memory stops at more than ten years ago, and you are already dead. You are very clear about this. Can a person from more than ten years ago, a person who is already dead, really be considered Yang Xiao?"

The man's face was numb, but his emotions were very complicated.

Because what Lin Yuan said completely hit the nail on the head in his mind's understanding of his own existence, and also made him more... wary of Lin Yuan.

Faced with this person who suddenly appeared in the ghost dream world and was able to use supernatural powers, and now told so many secrets, a faint murderous intent began to gather in the man's heart and quickly grew and became stronger.

Lin Yuan seemed not to notice and continued, "Ghost Dream is a very scary ghost. Once it revives, it will cause extremely horrific consequences. You and Lao Qin planned a car crash. Lao Qin drove the ghost bus to hit you and almost killed the ghost. Only then did you have the opportunity to return here, to the place where you were born and raised."

"When facing an unstoppable evil spirit, you only have one choice, which is to dismember the evil spirit's body and hide it in different parts of the village. The evil spirit will instinctively fight back to its body, but facing the bodies in different locations, it can only hesitate between the choices and be trapped in the village."

Having said that, Lin Yuan looked at the man, or rather, Yang Xiao whose memory stayed in more than ten years ago.

Yang Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally chose to speak, "You know a lot. The ghost has been wandering in the village, and I hid in the village to avoid the ghost's attack. The ghost is looking for me and its body, but it has not succeeded. This situation will continue if nothing unexpected happens."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I break this balance, I will give you some time and won't let you disappear so quickly. Besides, this ghost dream is very interesting. I have shortcomings in consciousness, maybe it can inspire me."

Yang Xiao pretended to be surprised and said, "You are able to use supernatural powers in the world of ghost dreams. Your level of terror is far higher than that of ghost dreams. How can you still have a shortcoming? Is it a shortcoming in consciousness?"

“Being strong doesn’t mean having no weaknesses. Just like me now, I can only rely on my supernatural consciousness to go out. Usually I can only stay in a narrow room. It’s like being in prison. It’s really a painful thing.” Lin Yuan said helplessly.

Yang Xiao thought thoughtfully: "Is it really okay for you to expose your weaknesses to me?"

"It doesn't matter. Although I can use supernatural powers, I will be greatly suppressed in the world of ghost dreams. You can call out the big black dog in the woods. If it can devour me, the ghost dream you prepared for Yang Jian will be even more terrifying, and your son will reach a higher level. How about it, do you want to try it?"

Lin Yuan grinned, revealing eight standard teeth.

It was clearly a bright smile, but in Yang Xiao's eyes, it looked like the temptation of the devil.

In just one breath, he made a decision, "What do you want to do?"

"How boring! You are the same no matter which one you are." Lin Yuan rolled his eyes, seeming to be very disgusted.

Yang Xiao pretended not to see it and asked, "The other me you are talking about is the ghost in the ghost post office, right? Is he still alive?"

"Yang Jian still remembers him, Zhang Fen still remembers him, how could he die?" Lin Yuan asked back.

Yang Xiao lowered his head and suddenly said, "Can we make a deal?"

Lin Yuan laughed again, and his laugh was so meaningful. "You are really alike with Lao Qin. He made a deal with me for a chess piece, and now you are making a deal with me for a son who shouldn't appear in my memory. Tell me, what deal do you want to make?"

Yang Xiao said in a deep voice: "I will give Gui Meng to you, and you will protect Zhang Fen and Yang Jian for the rest of their lives."

"not enough!"

Facing Lin Yuan's resolute refusal, Yang Xiao's face darkened, "I don't have any other bargaining chips anymore."

Lin Yuan continued to smile, "You still have yourself, don't you?"

"Sorry, I sell ghosts but not my body."

Yang Xiao's cheek twitched. He turned around, pressed one hand on the balcony countertop, exerted force with his feet, and jumped down swiftly.

This is the second floor.

Yang Xiao fell to the ground and rolled forward to release the force, then quickly walked into the darkness.

Lin Yuan stood on the balcony, looking at the direction Yang Xiaoyuan went, smiling brightly, "Selling ghosts but not selling yourself? That's not up to you. Ghost dream, a very good playground, it consumes less energy when invading reality. Moreover, the strength of ghost dream is not low, it can bring some growth to Peace Hotel, we have to get it to the store. By the way, we can put it over at Ghost Lake, it can invade reality with water as the medium, just right."

Lin Yuan was thinking, when he suddenly looked down.

At some point, more than a dozen figures had gathered in the courtyard of the building that was originally empty. They had numb faces and empty eyes, and they looked like zombies.

"Are you targeting me?"

Lin Yuan was surprised. "That's right. If I could stay in this dream, it would help me grow more than keeping Yang Jian and the others. Unfortunately, I'm not a pushover."

One after another, the walking dead walked into the room and came to the second floor, wanting to kill Lin Yuan.

But when they arrived at the balcony, Lin Yuan's figure had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there.

Without any hesitation.

These zombies jumped down from the balcony on the second floor one after another and walked firmly in one direction, as if they knew where Lin Yuan had gone.

This is the world of ghosts and dreams.

……

This is a market, crowded with people, very lively.

What was even more lively was the green flame that ignited the entire market, including the people in the market. The fire was so intense that it almost turned the entire night sky green, as if a green sky was covering the world.

But under this green sky, it is still raining.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Even though I was wearing a raincoat, my toes were still wet, and even my face was wet.

Li Jun covered his chest and breathed rapidly. "My ghost fire burns the spirit, but it is obvious that the projected spirit is just for show and has no use. I have no time left. Five minutes at most. If I can't find the ghost, I will die here."

Yang Jian looked around the group of people who were ignited by the fire but were still shopping like ordinary people. "There are too many people. The ghost must be hiding inside. Five minutes is not enough. Unless it shows up on its own, it will be impossible to find it."

"I'll be the bait."

Ah Hong stood up and was about to walk towards the market, but Li Jun held her back, "You don't have to sacrifice yourself for me."

Ah Hong shook her head. “You are stronger than me. If you can survive, you can play a greater role than me.”

Li Jun shook his head. "This is not a reason to sacrifice someone at will. Your strength is not worse than mine, you just need an opportunity. With the store manager here, you will be able to find the right puzzle piece for yourself and grow to be stronger than me."

Ah Hong hesitated, and finally said, "I was lying just now. I'm not that noble. I just don't want you to die, that's all."

Li Jun looked at Ah Hong in surprise.

In just a moment of distraction, Ah Hong had already broken free from his arms and walked to the edge of the market.

"Don't be too far away from me. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if I die, but it will be troublesome if it runs away."

Li Jun gritted his teeth and said to Yang Jian: "Let's go."

Yang Jian nodded, "I thought you would go and pull her back regardless of the consequences."

"This is not an idol drama, and I am not the male lead in an idol drama. We actually... have no choice." Li Jun murmured.

Ah Hong walked into the market.

The next moment, even though she didn't run into anyone, she was also covered in green ghost fire.

"There is no burning sensation. Your guess is right. This is good. I don't want to be burned to death." Ah Hong rubbed her arms.

The three of them walked into the market one after another.

The market looked like Yangzhen, except for the strange ghost lights, there seemed to be no difference.

The three of them searched the market nervously, and time passed by minute by minute.

Thirty seconds...

One minute……

three minutes……

Four and a half minutes...

Li Jun can no longer walk. The fact that he has been able to hold on until now despite losing his skin is extremely incredible in the real world.

Even in this strange world, he has reached his limit.

"It seems that this is all I can do. After returning to reality, if you find that I have the tendency to strangle myself, kill me in advance. Soldiers can die on the battlefield, but they cannot die in a cowardly way by committing suicide."

Li Jun sat on a wooden bench, leaning in Ah Hong's arms, his eyes gradually becoming blurred.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly brightened and the scene around him changed. It was no longer the strange market with burning green ghost lights, but he was back in the lobby on the first floor of Yang Jian's old home.

Will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-the-wisp skin...

Two supernatural forces return, and this is the feeling of reality.

and many more!

Li Jun suddenly jumped up and tried to defend...his own hands. However, strangely, the expected attack did not come. Instead, Ah Hong cried with joy, "That's great, you're okay."

"Yeah, I'm fine, why?"

Li Jun looked at Yang Jian, who had also woken up at this time. He looked around and said, "It's very simple. Someone killed the ghost before you died in the dream world."

"Is that so? Then I really have to thank that person." Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

If you can avoid death, it is better to avoid death.

It was still dark at this time, but the village was not peaceful. One could still hear the sounds of music and even funeral music.

The noise coming from upstairs attracted the attention of Li Jun and the other two.

The one coming down the stairs was Lin Yuan, and behind him was Guo Fan, who had a frightened look on his face.

After seeing Li Jun and the other two, he was surprised and asked, "It's so late, you guys are still awake?"

"It's okay. Boss Lin, you haven't slept either." Li Jun nodded and said with a smile, "What are you going to do in the middle of the night, Boss Lin?"

Lin Yuan said: "Maybe I'm a little too attached to my bed. I can't sleep well and wake up when there's some noise. Anyway, I can't sleep. I'm going to go for a walk around the neighborhood. Do you want to join me?"

Do you want to join us?

The answer is:
For sure!

The ghost in the dream tonight has been killed once, and it should not appear again tonight, so Yang Jian does not have to worry about the safety of Zhang Fen and the others.

On the contrary, it is the "store manager" whose every move needs to be watched.

Moreover, it is also worth thinking about the fact that the "store manager" went out in the middle of the night. Let alone the question of whether one can choose a bed or not, would a person like the "store manager" choose a bed?
Funny.

Needless to say, Li Jun and Ah Hong received the order from the headquarters before they came here, that they should not leave the side of the "store manager" at all times.

That is because of their identities, otherwise, they would definitely go to the island country with everyone.

Lin Yuan had no idea what the night scene in Meishan Village was like. Neither did Li Jun, Ah Hong, and Guo Fan. It was all their first time here.

The arrival of the "store manager" also filled Meishan Village with white mist.

With the "store manager" as the anchor point, Lin Yuan's white fog ghost domain also extended over. This had nothing to do with His will. At this time, the white fog ghost domain had already been in an unbalanced state.

Lin Yuan's control over it was not as high as he imagined.

Fortunately, the fog was not too thick and I could see the road a little further away clearly.

Li Jun and Ah Hong were very alert. They confirmed that this road was exactly the same as the one they saw when they entered the village during the day. Only then did they feel slightly relieved.

"It seems that I am no longer in a dream."

At this moment, Lin Yuan, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and looked around subconsciously. This action made Li Jun and others instantly alert.

"Brother Yuan, have you discovered anything?" Yang Jian asked in a deep voice, already clenching a...coffin nail in his hand.

This is reality, and there are supernatural beings.

In that case, Yang Jian has nothing to be afraid of.

“Well, there are some discoveries.”

As Lin Yuan spoke, he suddenly squatted down, and under the ridiculous gazes of Yang Jian and others, he picked up a piece of...parchment from under his feet.

That’s right, it’s parchment, the parchment with treasure maps drawn on it in movies and TV dramas. It has a very classic shape and can be recognized at a glance.

the most important is……

"There shouldn't be such a thing on this road. I can be 100% sure that it absolutely cannot exist!" Yang Jian said in a low voice.

Li Jun touched the jellyfish hat on his head and said, "I can confirm that there was nothing there originally. But isn't this normal?"

Ah Hong withdrew her gaze from Li Jun's head.

After receiving the "store manager" in Dachang City, Li Jun's style became like this. She had seen it all the way, but she still couldn't help laughing. She could only look away to suppress the smile in her heart, "What?"

Can't you see that you're trying to make fun of yourself?

Li Jun glanced at Ah Hong, but when he thought of what Ah Hong said in the dream when she chose to use herself as bait, the little dissatisfaction in his heart completely dissipated.

"There are two store managers. Who else could be able to make a move in His ghost domain except that one?"

Ah Hong's expression froze and she looked around nervously.

“No need to do that. When we were with the store manager, or when we were shrouded in the white fog ghost domain, we had already entered His sight.”

Yang Jian tightened his black transparent clothes.

This is the "clothes" he exchanged with the "store manager" for the headless ghost. It was sewn by Meng Xiaodong, one of the seven elders, a very scary ghost.

It seems that only in this way can he feel more secure.

"Hey, this is a treasure map. There is actually a treasure map here? It is drawn on parchment, but the drawing is a bit sloppy. Xiao Yang, come over and take a look. Is it drawn by a kid in your village?" Lin Yuan called out.

Yang Jian was somewhat reluctant.

He had a deep resistance to contact with the "store manager", otherwise he would not have gone to the Peace Hotel as little as possible during this period of time.

Unless you have to.

Just like what happened in Meishan Village in his hometown this time, even though he was almost killed in his dream, he did not use the business card given by the "store manager" to escape.

But now that the "store manager" called him, he couldn't refuse to go, and he couldn't even show any reluctance.

He leaned forward to take a look and saw some crude lines drawn on the parchment, which looked like a child's scribbles.

But if you look closely, anyone from Meishan Village can tell that this is a painting of the terrain of Meishan Village.

Several locations were marked with red crosses, as if there was something there.

On the back of this parchment, there were three large black characters written:
Treasure Map!
"If that person is really a god, then He really has too much of a bad taste." Yang Jian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Lin Yuan was very childish, his eyes were clear and curious as he asked, "How about it, Xiao Yang, can you tell what position it is?"

Yang Jian's eyes flickered.

He knew that there must be something in these places, perhaps related to the ghost in his dream, so he didn't want to take the "store manager" there.

If he had met her before today, maybe he would have really found an excuse to get away with it.

just.

He learned from Li Jun about the existence and difference between the "store manager" and the real store manager, and knew that there was a being watching him, and that this so-called treasure map was also deliberately thrown out by Him...

"Yes, this is in the south of the village. It should be the fish pond left by my father when he was young."

Lin Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Great! Let's go to your fish pond and dig for treasure. If we really find any treasure, we'll each take half!"

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, Lao Li, Xiao Hong, Xiao Guo, everyone has a share."

Xiaohong?

Ah Hong curled her lips and said, "Boss Lin, can you change your name? It sounds like little chicken and little duck, which is very awkward."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Lao Hong?"

Ah Hong took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, Xiao Hong is Xiao Hong. It's better than Lao Hong."

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly.

It was the late night and most of the villagers were asleep. Those who were still awake were keeping vigil in their respective mourning halls and would not come out on the roads.

Lin Yuan and his group walked through the village to the south and met no one on the way.

"The fish pond used to be connected to a nearby river, but it was later transformed by my father to form the fish pond it is today."

Yang Jian looked at the fish pond in front of him, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

The water in the fish pond is very clear and it is running water.

In the past, when irrigating nearby farmland, water was taken from here. It is a natural reservoir. Although it is nothing now, in that era, this fish pond was coveted by countless people.

A few days ago, he specifically asked his mother.

This fish pond was built by my father and fish were raised in it for a while, but it did not generate any economic income and was soon abandoned. He then left it unattended and allowed relatives and villagers in the village to use the pond.

It sounds like the behavior of a prodigal son who is not doing his job properly.

But today, standing by the fish pond and looking at the treasure map in Lin Yuan's hand, he guessed that there must be something wrong with this fish pond.

Even the ghost in my dream a few nights ago had an unclear relationship with my father.

He looked at the fish pond left by his father.

A lot of time has passed, and the appearance of the area has changed a lot. When I was a child, there were weeds everywhere, and the mountains and waters were green. But now the pond has shrunk, and the water is not as clear, but a little turbid.

It looks ordinary and is no different from other fish ponds in the countryside. There are no strange-looking things.

Yang Jian retracted his gaze, "If I'm not mistaken, the first location on the treasure map is right here."

"It looks like the treasure is buried under the fish pond."

Lin Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. He squatted down and put his hand into the water of the pond. He immediately frowned and took his hand back. "It's the middle of the night and the water is cold."

The bone-chilling cold seemed to penetrate into his skin, but Lin Yuan just shook it off lightly, and the coldness completely disappeared.

Lin Yuan didn't care and said excitedly: "Let's take a look at how deep this fish pond is first, and then make preparations. Let's play the treasure map game tonight and see what treasures we can dig out!"
