Chapter 9 Strange Shadow
Chapter 9 Strange Shadow
I replied: "Oh, I got up in the morning and checked the time was wrong. It should be out of battery, so I went out and bought a battery to replace it."
I thought that the boss would probably praise me, but I didn't expect that the boss's face was still ugly, he turned around and entered the counter without saying anything.
I don't know what is good or bad, I knew I wouldn't buy him a battery. I thought a little uncomfortable, and went to work.
However, on the second day after this incident, I got up as usual, and when I came to the lobby to prepare for work, I subconsciously looked up at the time, but was suddenly startled.
The time on the clock was half an hour behind.
Strange, the battery was changed just the day before, so is this clock like this?
I was wondering, but the boss came in early, which is a bit abnormal, he looked at me in a daze, and said: "The clock is slow again, you go and adjust it to the right time."
"Oh" I agreed, and went to take off the clock, adjusted the time, and asked him: "Boss, the clock is not running correctly, should it be replaced?"
The boss said lightly: "It has been changed."
I looked at him in surprise, but he seemed to be in a daze, wandering into the counter again, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
After this incident, I paid special attention every day, only to find that the clock was like this every day. No matter what time I got up, the time must be half an hour behind.
I have to say that this is very weird, but at this time, I didn't think too much about it. Anyway, I was counting the days with my fingers. My summer job will end in a few days. Before that, I don't want to provoke Right and wrong.
But gradually, probably because the business is getting worse and worse, the boss’s complexion is getting worse every day, and he looks half-dead every day, and he starts to have a lot of opinions on my reading and writing in my spare time, although I didn't say it clearly, but those weird eyes kept following me. Whenever I saw that I wanted to write, I would knock on the counter vigorously, or arrange odd jobs for me, even if I had already done all the work.
Even when eating, he always stares at me, looking at me like that, wishing to count the rice grains for me to eat.
The attitude of the boss has become more and more harsh, and there are more and more odd jobs. In fact, there is nothing wrong at all, not even customers. Do I need to hold the mop and wipe the floor every day?In the end, he was so perverted that the hot water had been on the fire for more than half an hour, so he asked me to pour it out and start it again.
Isn't this sick?
Although he euphemistically said that it was for the taste and quality of the tea and for the health of the tea drinkers, but I clearly remember that this old guy was able to re-boil the hot water for the guests a few days ago. They even secretly exchanged defective products into the tea leaves.
Now that he's doing this, he's obviously making trouble. Obviously, it's almost time to settle the bill, and he's starting to make trouble.
I comforted myself that this is actually quite normal. The boss probably has this mentality. They feel uncomfortable seeing the hired workers idle, especially when the business is not good. Besides, this old man is probably in menopause.
I cursed angrily in my heart, but I didn't show my dissatisfaction. If I persisted for another seven or eight days, it would be the day when I left. When the salary was settled, everything here would have nothing to do with me. I will bear it.
However, I was counting down the days with my fingers, but one day, a woman walked into the tea room with a child in her arms. As soon as she sat down, the child burst into tears. big cat.
I looked up in surprise, but was stunned. The beams of the house were clearly empty. Where did the big cat come from?
The woman hurried away with the baby in her arms. I walked around the beam a few times, and my neck was sore, but there was not even a mouse on the beam, let alone a big cat.
I couldn't help but wonder, if it is said that children can see ghosts, I believe it, but what about seeing big cats?Could it be that there is a ghost of a cat on it?But in broad daylight, is it possible?
Confused, I froze in place.
Is there really something shameful in this tea room?
I couldn't help noticing secretly and being careful, but in the two days after this incident, nothing happened again. The business of the teahouse was still bleak, and the boss was still half dead, with his face drooping all day long. As if I owed him 800 yuan.
Obviously you owe me 800 yuan, okay?I thought to myself.
Soon, the days will be spent in torment. In three days, I will leave the tea room. After I return to the campus, I will start my sophomore life. Everything here has nothing to do with me.
However, on this day, something unexpected happened.
In the afternoon, I lay down on the table and took a nap, but in a daze, my eyes seemed to blur for a while, and a black shadow jumped out of nowhere and ran onto the beam of the house.
I woke up suddenly, and looked up at the beam, but to my surprise, I clearly saw the black shadow jumping on the beam just now, but it disappeared after a while.
Could it be that I am dazzled or sleepy?I thought about it for a while, but I became more and more convinced that I was not mistaken. Something must have jumped on it just now.
I took a deep breath, walked under the beam again, concentrated, and looked up there.
At the beginning, there was still nothing, but under my full concentration, slowly, a vague shadow appeared on the beam of the house.However, it was just a vague shadow. No matter how much I concentrated on looking at it, I couldn't see what the shadow was. I only vaguely felt that it really looked like a big cat, or rather, it was a big cat. A cat-like animal is lying on the beam. It seems to be sleeping.
There is indeed a problem!
This tea room is really noisy. Could it be because of this reason that no guests come to the door?If so, is there something I should do?
I looked back at the boss who was sitting there dozing off. I was a little hesitant. It seemed that my life here would be over in three days. Then I could get my salary and leave, but if I didn’t care, the boss’s The family is bound to suffer catastrophe.
To be honest, I have been in the tea room for almost a month. I spend more time idle than working every day. Although the boss is harsh, I feel a little embarrassed. Maybe I should do something?
However, at that time, I didn’t have any experience in such incidents, and I didn’t know how to deal with it. After thinking about it, I had to ask for leave with my boss and go home to ask my grandfather.
After two hours of turbulent driving and more than half an hour of mountain roads, I finally returned to my hometown with beautiful mountains and clear waters in my memory.
Grandpa is smoking his dry tobacco in front of the door. The familiar posture and movements are something I have engraved in my heart since I was a child. Even the bamboo chair that grandpa has been sitting on looks so kind.
"Grandpa, I'm back." I said with a smile.
When grandpa saw me, he was overwhelmed with pleasant surprises. He grabbed my hand tremblingly, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked with a straight face, "Little bastard, didn't you not be allowed to go home for three years? Why did you come back in one year?" , have you written all those three words?"
I suppressed the excitement in my heart, squeezed out a smiling face, and said to my grandfather: "I have written one, and there are two words left. I haven't started writing yet. Your old man said, you have to do it step by step. I plan to write it after school starts." , and start writing the second word."
A smile appeared on Grandpa's face, and he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, if you can write the first word in a year, it's not easy. Hurry up and go into the room and write it for Grandpa."
Grandpa seemed to have forgotten all of a sudden that I was not allowed to go home for three years, and happily dragged me into the house. He didn't care about anything, but first took out a pen and paper, stuffed it in my hand, and urged me repeatedly write quickly.
I took the pen, and without hesitation, with a wave of my hand, I wrote the Chinese character "Zhen" with complicated strokes. I looked down and couldn't help being quite proud. The writing is vigorous and powerful, almost as if it has life.
Grandpa rubbed his eyes, showing a joyful expression, grabbed the word, read it several times from top to bottom, and praised: "Okay, very good, I didn't expect that my method really worked. Practicing a word alone is really good. It is much better than practicing several characters at the same time, one character a year, if you follow this speed, when you go to university, you can almost get a glimpse of the first level of the forbidden law."
I couldn't help but wonder: "Grandpa, could it be that the forbidden method of our Han family is practiced by writing and watching pictures? But what can this writing be used for?"
Grandpa laughed and said: "Silly boy, this word is very unusual. It doesn't matter if I tell you today. The key to casting spells on the first level of my Han Family's Forbidden Law is composed of these few words, and these words are divided into three parts. For their respective uses, it can be said that a word is a spell.”
"A word is a spell?" Grandpa's words surprised me even more, "Then what kind of spell is this word that I spent a year writing?"
Grandpa still kept reading the word, looking very happy. Hearing this, he explained to me: "I think you already know that this is a word for town. The so-called town means suppression and suppression. You will use this word in the future." , regardless of ghosts, you must subdue them when you see them, because the writing method of this character is actually left over from ancient times. This is a secret of my Han family, but it can only be controlled if you have strong spiritual power."
I was a little confused, and after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that the word "daring to love" is a spell, and it almost means this, but I don't know how many words there will be to write.
"Grandpa, actually I'm back today, and I have something else to tell you."
After thinking about it for a while, I told my grandfather about the strange things I encountered in the teahouse these days.
After hearing this, my grandfather thought about it carefully, and said to me: "This matter is strange. Judging from what you said, there are two problems with that teahouse, but there may be only one problem. It's just that you know too little about it now. , I am not good at judging, so you should return immediately without delay, and then follow what I said."
Grandpa handed me a box and told me just so so so
