Chapter 258 Jinjiang (1)
The head of the public opinion group called several times before he got through to the official person in charge.
He was extremely anxious: "Now the public opinion on the Internet has begun to change. What should I do?"
At the beginning, the guests suddenly sat down while visiting the Shadow Puppet Museum, and the audience just thought they were tired and wanted to take a rest.
But as time went by, they slowly realized that something was wrong.
Not only the guests, the live broadcaster's camera swept across the scene in the yard, and even the staff of the program team were lying on the ground.
Although they looked like they were sleeping soundly, after the initial teasing and joking from the audience, some people gradually noticed something unusual.
No matter how tired they are, it shouldn't be possible for everyone to fall asleep at almost the same time, right?
And although for the audience, watching the show is for entertainment, for the staff, it is work.
I have never seen a company where all employees sleep during working hours!
Similar concerns gradually increased, and other viewers who had not paid attention to this point before also paid attention to it.
Yeah...how come there is a place where everyone falls asleep even though it's not time to go to bed?
Although both the guests and the staff seemed to have stable vital signs and many of them were even snoring happily, this still could not hide the unusualness of the incident.
Whether in the exclusive channel of the "Heart-Stirring 99-Day Tour" program on the live broadcast platform or under the tags related to the program on the social platform, more and more worried remarks have gradually become a hot topic.
The dangerous experiences in the previous episodes of the show made the audience particularly worried about this filming, and they were guessing what had happened.
Some people also tried to call the official hotline and asked the operator whether they would manage people sleeping in groups.
Operator: “?”
You must be kidding me. If you have nothing to do, please don't occupy the hotline.
However, because the other party mentioned this program, and in view of previous experiences, the operator also suspiciously opened the live broadcast to check.
At the first few glances, the operator did not notice anything wrong and even muttered a few words, saying that even if the program has always been unsafe, it cannot be used as a joke. It is so unethical and how can the hotline be occupied.
But when the operator turned off the live broadcast, he felt something was wrong.
She turned on the live broadcast again, and looked from the main screen to each split screen one by one, her brows furrowed more and more.
It shouldn't be like this.
The situation where everyone fell asleep... It was as if the entire museum was under a sleeping spell, and it was eerily quiet in the camera.
However, there are exceptions.
Yan Shixun's split screen is different from everyone else's.
The operator carefully looked at the comments on the split screen and found that many of them mentioned that Yan Shixun had changed. Just now, Yan Shixun and Zhang Wubing could be seen in the camera, but now, there was nothing in the camera.
The two of them were not in the room. Only the TV was still playing the shadow play. The humming singing voice with a very old-fashioned electric sound came from the TV.
The operator sorted out the current situation through the barrage.
At the beginning, Yan Shixun and Zhang Wubing were just like the other guests. After entering the room where shadow play video materials were displayed, they stared at the TV in a daze. Then the TV turned on automatically and the shadow play started. They sat down on the chairs in the room, as if they were enjoying the shadow play.
But not long ago, Yan Shixun's split screen suddenly went black, as if the camera was blocked by something.
When the split screen lit up again, only the camera remained, and the two people had disappeared.
The camera was facing the TV, so the audience in front of the split screen could only watch the shadow show on TV.
They watched helplessly as the thin woman, holding her bulging belly and holding another child, ran wildly on the village road. Even though the woman ran as fast as she could, she was still caught up by the villagers behind her.
Not far from the woman, the lake was rippling, and the night was pitch black without stars or moon.
"Plop!" There was a loud noise.
The woman was in such a panic that she couldn't see the road ahead and fell into the lake.
Her instinct for survival made her stretch out her hands desperately and struggle to stick her head out of the lake, hoping to ask someone to save her.
However, the villagers slowed down their pursuit and gradually surrounded the lake.
They stood on the shore, looking down at the woman's repeated and desperate struggles, but they had no intention of rescuing her.
On the curtain, there were only two empty holes where the villagers' eyes should be, with light shining through the darkness.
They were grinning and laughing, enjoying the joy brought by the woman's struggle before she drowned.
Even the tune of the background music is cheerful, echoing the drum beats, as if it is impatiently waiting for the woman's death.
The audience watching this scene were stunned.
They slowly stopped what they were doing in front of the screen, staring at the shadow puppet without blinking, their hearts gripped by the woman's fate.
Many people prayed desperately in the barrage that the woman must be safe and must be saved.
Some people even called the hotline anxiously, saying that someone was forcing others to jump into the lake.
But after detailed inquiries and verification, the other party found out that these were all plots in a shadow play. So they sternly educated the caller to distinguish between reality and drama and to leave the hotline to those who really needed help.
The man apologized confusedly, and after hanging up the phone, he slowly realized that what he was watching... was a shadow play.
But inexplicably, he really had the feeling that he was watching something really happening, as if this woman really existed, and even the danger and despair she faced were so real that it even made him anxious for this woman.
He posted his experience in the barrage, and immediately many people responded, saying that they had similar situations.
Some people said that they had never watched shadow play, as they did not have the artistic talent and could not understand such things. However, when they saw this, they were so anxious that they almost cried.
In addition, the operator also saw someone who looked like a ghost exorcist appear in the barrage.
While many viewers watched the show because of the thrills brought by the series of dangerous encounters, there were also many ghost hunters who noticed it because of the ghosts that appeared repeatedly in the show.
While ordinary people only regarded "Heart-beating Tour Around the World for 99 Days" as a means of relaxation or excitement, many well-known masters knew through word of mouth in the circle that Yan Shixun was the only disciple of Mr. Chengyun of Haiyun Temple and was born with the appearance of a demon.
The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
This show is another level of popularity and rage in the ghost exorcist community.
The masters were overjoyed and have been watching the show every episode since they learned about Yan Shixun and the existence of this program. They were often nervous when the people in the program crew were in danger, and they secretly imagined what they would do if it were them, how to protect the people around them while bringing everyone out of danger.
But no matter how they deduced, if they did not consider Yan Shixun's solution, their plans would always fail. It seemed that no matter which way they walked, it was like walking in an alley that was only wide enough for one person to pass through and where they could not turn around, and the end of the road was a dead end.
This is an unsolvable dead end.
Therefore, the masters who had originally looked down on Yan Shixun because of his unknown reputation or young age, were all shocked to see that this young man, whom they had not taken seriously, had actually accomplished something that none of them could do.
They thought that if a young person could do it, it would naturally be no problem for them who have been famous for a long time.
This confidence lasted only until they embarked on a similar attempt.
Then they discovered—
Just because someone can do it doesn't mean everyone can do it.
It’s just that Yan Shixun always solved the problem so easily. Although people around him were injured, no one died. Therefore, it gave others the illusion that “I can do it too.”
There was a storm in the hearts of the masters, and they solemnly memorized the name Yan Shixun in their hearts.
Many people used various connections to find people from Haiyun Temple and inquired about matters related to Yan Shixun in an indirect way.
The Taoist priest of Haiyun Temple smiled and said that Yan Shixun was of a very high generation. Most of the Taoist priests of Haiyun Temple called Yan Shixun "Uncle Master", and there were quite a few who called him "Grand Master". The only one who was of a higher generation than Yan Shixun was Taoist priest Li.
There were also Taoist priests who had participated in cooperation with special departments and knew something about Yan Shixun. When they found out that many masters were inquiring about Yan Shixun openly or secretly, they felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They asked those masters where they got the confidence to think they could compare with the only evil ghost who had successfully survived.
There were also straightforward Taoist priests who told the truth and made the master who came to ask give up. They said that even in Haiyun Temple, the only one who could be compared with Yan Shixun in strength was Taoist priest Li.
'That person is a man of great power, and his cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds. How can an ordinary person compare to him?'
The more the masters understood Yan Shixun, the more frightened they became.
The smart ones have given up meaningless comparisons and the desire to win, and instead treated the program in which Yan Shixun participated as a valuable teaching video, which they not only watched themselves but also used to teach their disciples.
——This is equivalent to a top scholar from a top university. Even the students of this university find it difficult to get teaching. Now there is a way like live broadcast, of course we can’t miss it!
The opportunity to learn secretly is reserved for smart people!
Therefore, more and more ghost hunters have flocked to the live broadcast when many ordinary people have not noticed.
Some ghost exorcists may have come with the intention of finding fault at first, but they were gripped by the thrilling dangers that the program crew encountered time and time again, and were also shocked by the strength and keen judgment displayed by Yan Shixun, and instead became loyal viewers of the show.
Ghost Exorcist: I originally wanted to find evidence to prove that Yan Shixun is incompetent, but now I just want to kneel down and call him daddy. Does Brother Yan accept disciples? Can I sign up?
The audience had a vague feeling.
After all, in recent barrages, there are more and more professional speeches that look very impressive.
Audience: I recognize every word in this comment, but when they are put together, it becomes a mysterious book. Why can’t I understand it?
Compared to the original entertainment purpose of Zhang Wubing's program, it now looks more like an academic exchange among ghost hunters, and his serious speeches have scared many viewers.
Audience: I just came here for excitement and to watch it as a horror movie. But please don’t tell me that there are really ghosts in this world!
However, thanks to this, the operators who knew nothing about ghosts were able to realize what the program crew had encountered at the first time.
Unlike ordinary viewers who are skeptical, the operators were actually told some truths about the show and knew that ghosts do exist in the world. Therefore, they did not treat the comments that seemed to be very different in style as a joke, but recorded them seriously.
A ghost exorcist said in the barrage that this method looks a bit like the bone-replacing technique that was once used in the southwest.
The operator immediately reported the matter, and both the official person in charge and the head of the public opinion group received the report.
Because Baizhi Lake is not only remote but also sparsely populated, signal towers are sparsely distributed and signals are intermittent.
The official person in charge took great pains and ran around in the wilderness for a long time before he successfully found a place with a signal and maintained a stable connection with the head of the public opinion group.
"You can handle the public opinion as you wish. Fortunately, there are no inappropriate scenes in the live broadcast. Judging from the disappearance of Taoist Master Ma and the other two, this situation will continue for a while. I also asked Taoist Master Song, and he meant that since it has been confirmed that the problem is with the museum, unless this matter is completely resolved, everyone will remain in the current situation for the time being."
The official in charge rubbed his temples with a headache and said: "When it comes to guiding public opinion, you are the expert. Just follow your pace and insist that nothing will happen."
The head of the public opinion team nodded, and a plan quickly took shape in his mind.
But he hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Before, in Mr. Yan's split screen, someone said that he might know something about the current situation, so I contacted the live broadcast platform and got in touch with him."
The one who mentioned the bone-replacing technique in the barrage was a native ghost exorcist from the southwest. Because this program was recorded in the southwest, and in view of the good luck of the program crew in previous episodes, this ghost exorcist who had a deep understanding of the situation in the southwest was very worried, and so had been following this episode.
Fortunately, he had been watching the live broadcast around the time Yan Shixun disappeared, so he did not miss any details and successfully saw the abnormality of the TV in the room where Yan Shixun was in those few seconds.
He realized that the reason why the audience before the live broadcast felt that the shadow puppet show was so lifelike and overly real was because those who performed the shadow puppet show were not really shadow puppets at all.
But the real soul!
"What's the meaning?"
The official was stunned and asked quickly: "Is he saying that the shadow play and reality have been swapped?"
The head of the public opinion team was well versed in public opinion, but he only knew the basics about ghosts and gods, so he simply let the exorcist talk directly to the person in charge.
"There really is such a department! I was saying that many things were solved so quickly, it doesn't seem like no one is in charge at all."
When the ghost hunter heard the official person in charge introduce himself, he was surprised at first, and then he became excited as if he had found an alien, feeling as if he had successfully chased a star.
The official person in charge was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and then listened to his explanation seriously.
According to the exorcists, because the southwestern region has always been filled with homeless ghosts, judging from the records left by the ancestors, the number of ghosts has always been able to be handled.
But for some unknown reason, since a hundred years ago, the ghosts of the southwest have been unable to leave. Even if the exorcists try their best and spend all their energy, they can only send away one or two ghosts when they are lucky.
Compared with the huge number of all ghosts, this is just a drop in the bucket, less than one ten-thousandth.
More and more ghosts spread from the mountains and fields to the densely populated cities and towns. If someone had opened his eyes to the underworld, he would have discovered that during that period, ghosts were floating everywhere in the southwest, and the overly strong ghost aura had seriously affected the normal lives of ordinary people.
People in the southwest are accepting ghost energy little by little and expanding the limit of their ability to withstand it, so they don't feel it deeply. They just wonder why so many people are prone to allergies or fever, and why the statues of gods and Buddhas worshipped by many families are cracked. But people who don't know the truth just complain that the quality of things is getting worse and worse.
However, when many outsiders first arrive in the southwest, they will truly feel that the temperature difference between day and night in the southwest is even greater than reported in the weather forecast. In addition, many people who are sensitive to ghost spirits will develop a high fever or become sick and be hospitalized.
However, that was decades ago, and there is no such situation in the southwest today.
In order to send the ghosts away and stop them from affecting people's normal lives, many masters in the southwest gathered together and finally worked out a way to deal with it.
——Inspired by the records in ancient books, the technique of bone replacement was used to swap ghosts with dead objects, so as to seal the ghosts into dead objects and then deal with the dead objects in a unified manner.
At that time, the masters believed that the best carriers of ghosts were wooden carved human figures and portraits.
Ghosts are invisible, difficult to deal with, and there are so many of them that killing one can easily alert other ghosts and they may seek revenge.
But once the ghost and the woodcarving or portrait were switched, everything became easier.
Make ghosts tangible.
And these tangible objects, whether wood or paper, are afraid of fire.
A fire can burn it cleanly and prevent any trouble forever.
"Although the person in charge may think that this method is cruel, and many souls have indeed lost the qualifications to reincarnate again because of this, but when choosing between the two, one has to choose the lesser of two options."
The young exorcist spoke of what happened back then with a heavy tone: "On one side are the souls of the dead, and on the other side are the living... The ancestors could only choose one side, so they could only resort to this last resort, trying their best to preserve the normal lives of ordinary people without being disturbed."
"But don't worry, we didn't kill all the ghosts at that time. The ancestors couldn't bear it, so they just controlled the number of ghosts to a level that would not affect ordinary people, and then stopped using this method."
"But now, decades later, the number of ghosts in the southwest has once again reached its limit."
The Ghostbusters sighed.
In his view, the Southwest is like a wooden barrel that only takes in water but never takes out water, and it will always be full one day.
Ghosts cannot leave the southwest of the human world, and yin and yang have been out of balance hundreds of years ago.
One life and one death, one yin and one yang, that is balance.
But Southwest has lost the most critical link.
Even if someone sees the true nature of the situation, they can do nothing about it. They can do a lot, but they can actually do very little.
The great way cannot be peeped into, but heaven and earth are unkind and have never responded to their expectations.
In order to save themselves, they could only resort to bone replacement.
"However, because this method does violate the principles of yin and yang, and is unfair to ghosts who did not do evil in their lifetime, decades ago, when the number of ghosts was under control, the ancestors stopped using this method and destroyed all records of the specific techniques to prevent such methods from falling into the hands of people with bad intentions and becoming something that harms people."
The ghost chaser thought of the shadow play he had seen in the live broadcast and said hesitantly: "But I just watched the live broadcast, and it seemed that those shadow plays... seemed to use this method."
"Because my master told me about it before he passed away, so when I saw that those shadow puppets could especially arouse the feelings of other people's souls, I immediately thought of this method. I personally suspect that Master Yan and the people in the program team are now sleeping because their souls have been replaced by the shadow puppet show."
"In this way, the shadow play is about real people, and there is no soul in the human body, which makes sense for the current situation."
The official in charge was shocked and quickly asked the exorcist: "Does anyone still use this method now? Do you have a list of suspects?"
The Ghost Exorcist shook his head: "That should be impossible."
He said sincerely, "In order to prevent this method, which was implemented out of desperation, from being abused, the participants at the time kept it a secret. Apart from their respective masters, few people knew about it. Moreover, many sects have been lost, or the inheritance is incomplete, and the manuscripts and scriptures were destroyed in the turmoil, so there are even fewer people who know about it."
"If my master had not met a wandering Buddhist during his lifetime and found our lost handwritten notes from him, my master would not have known about this. My master and the Buddhist studied it for a long time before we figured it out..."
As he was speaking, the ghost exorcist suddenly got stuck, as if he remembered something.
"But it's possible that someone knows how to do it."
The official in charge's eyes lit up and he listened with bated breath.
The exorcist recalled what his master had said to him before and said, "When the bone-replacing technique was used, the carriers chosen by the ancestors included wood carvings. So the ancestors found a carpenter to help them carve many human-shaped wooden sculptures."
"Have you heard of a kind of wood carving with living mouth and eyes? It is a product of that time. However, I haven't heard of it for a long time, and I'm not sure whether it has been lost."
"What I am sure of is that the ancestors destroyed all paper materials that recorded the specific implementation details. So far, I have not heard of anyone in the southwest who knows this method. However, I don't know whether the carpenter has passed it down."
The exorcist said sincerely, "After all, the ancestors did not build the mausoleum for the emperor and then kill the craftsmen to silence them. Although the ancestors must have told the carpenter not to spread the news, I don't know whether he did so or not."
"The carpenter needs to carve the carrier according to the requirements of the ancestors, so if there is really anyone who knows the specific implementation of this method, it may be the carpenter."
The ghost exorcist thought for a moment and added, "But this is just my guess, I'm not sure. Don't be angry if I'm wrong."
The official person in charge quickly expressed his gratitude, saying that this was a great help.
——At least, those outside finally knew what was going on inside. Having a direction to investigate was much better than knowing nothing and looking for someone everywhere like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Did your master tell you the name of the carpenter?"
The official in charge held a glimmer of hope and asked, "Perhaps, do you have any guesses about the identity of the carpenter's descendants?"
The exorcist apologized, "After all, several decades have passed, and my inheritance is incomplete. If my master hadn't had a strange encounter during his lifetime, I wouldn't even know these. Sorry, I can't help you with this."
The official person in charge thanked them repeatedly and asked the ghost hunter to continue to pay attention to the live broadcast and keep in touch with them. If he saw anything unusual or remembered anything, please contact them immediately.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the messy handwriting that was quickly recorded in the notebook and sighed deeply.
No wonder so many ghost hunters are so afraid of the southwest. There are too many unknown things hidden in this land.
He didn't expect that such a change would happen in the southwest a hundred years ago.
However, the woodcarving with live mouth and eyes, the carpenter...
The official person in charge looked at the key words he had written down in the notebook, and the pen in his hand unconsciously circled the keywords, his brows furrowed more and more.
He did not stop walking, but he did not stop thinking either.
Until the rescue team leader reminded him: "We have arrived at the place the survivor mentioned."
Because of the strangeness of the ebony statue, and the fact that the incident happened near Baizhi Lake, Haiyun Temple did not relax its questioning of the young man who took the ebony statue.
Fortunately, the abbot of Haiyun Temple was there. Being good at dealing with people, he quickly got from the young people the places where they had traveled and picked up the statue, and sent it to the rescue team so that they could check it out on the spot.
The deserted village and dilapidated temple mentioned by young people are not far from the Shadow Puppet Museum.
So the official team was divided into two, one group stayed in the museum, and the other group followed him to find the ruined temple.
Hearing the reminder, the official person in charge came out of his thoughts, but was startled when he looked up.
Even though it was late at night, the official in charge could still clearly see the scene not far away with the help of the high-intensity flashlight in his hand.
Just as the young man described, the village next to Baizhi Lake is now in ruins. The ruins are overgrown with weeds, and thick moss covers all traces of the villagers' former activities.
The deserted village before his eyes was empty, with only weeds growing wildly everywhere. The green extending down from the mountain buried everything.
But suddenly, the rescue team leader caught a glimpse of light and couldn't help but exclaimed and shook the official's arm.
"Look over there, there seems to be someone over there!"
The official leader looked in the direction pointed by the rescue team leader and saw only one village house in the desolate land. A little light was faintly visible from the shadows of the densely intertwined branches and vines.
After initially confirming that there was no danger, the official in charge moved forward cautiously, pushing aside the surrounding weeds and struggling through the mud, approaching the village house.
This was a once-magnificent village house with several floors. The carved iron fence and red copper gate surrounding the yard also vaguely reveal the former glory and wealth of the owner of this village house.
However, these things have not been taken care of for many years and have gradually been eroded by wind and rain, becoming rusty, decayed and mottled.
Weeds as tall as a person grew all over the garden, isolating it from the outside world and the village houses, making it look like a lonely grave covered with weeds.
If it weren't for the little light coming out from inside, the official person in charge would really think that the house had been abandoned like the other buildings, and it just didn't collapse because of luck.
After getting closer, the official person in charge saw a figure from the window.
The man kept coughing, his voice was hoarse and old, and his hunched back also showed that he was an old man who still stayed in the village.
The official person in charge recalled that someone who had handled the Baizhi Lake incident before told him that there was a high probability that the records were different from the actual situation. Although most of the people in the village near Baizhi Lake died in the records, it did not rule out the possibility that someone moved here later.
Some people don't have high demands and just want a place to live that can shelter them from the wind and rain.
In that case, a deserted village might be a good choice.
However, when they were walking over here just now, the Taoist priest also reminded them that the deserted village is also a good place for wandering ghosts.
Rather than being homeless, many dead ghosts still retain their habits from their lifetime and want a place to return to that feels like home.
Before entering or living in a house that has been uninhabited for a long time, you must perform rituals first, because it is very likely to become a place where ghosts gather.
This is why many abandoned villas and houses in the deep mountains look eerie.
If you enter such a house without informing the "owner" in advance, or respectfully offering incense and offerings and asking the other party to leave, the "owner" will most likely regard it as trespassing without permission.
Revenge from ghosts is not something to be taken lightly.
Two different statements were fighting in the official's mind, making him hesitant.
So, are these the places where new comers borrowed the ownerless houses to live, or is it that the deserted village attracts ghosts?
He hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, clenched the yellow talisman in his hand, and knocked on the door.
One cannot get a tiger cub without learning the tiger's lessons. Every second he wastes may cause a crisis for the program crew.
If one party had to be in danger, the official in charge hoped it would be him.
The old figure projected on the window walked towards the door from the window after hearing the sound.
The candlelight flickered and flickered, and the gradually elongated shadow kept shaking like a dancing ghost.
The official person in charge's heart was beating like a drum, nervously waiting for the result.
“Squeak——!”
The door slowly opened.
The old man with gray hair stood at the door with his hands behind his back, hunched over.
His face was full of wrinkles, and his cloudy eyes were dull and lifeless, with only a dead calmness, as if he had lost everything he could look forward to in life. His whole body was like a dead ash, and the only thing left was that he was still alive, which was still being carried out by inertia.
However, there is no difference between life and death for the old man.
The old man raised his eyes and looked at the official person in charge who was standing at the door in a formal suit and had an extraordinary demeanor. His eyes were like he was looking at a dead object, without any fluctuations.
The official person in charge swallowed nervously when he was looked at. Just as he was about to politely explain his purpose, he saw the old man slightly sideways, making room behind the door.
"Come in."
The old man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he had not spoken to anyone for a long time. His language function had been semi-degraded, and he spoke the few words very slowly.
He did not give the official person in charge enough time to react, and without waiting for the official person in charge to react, he just turned around and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
There was only one open door left, and the official in charge came to his senses and realized that he was being asked to go in.
After a brief hesitation, he gritted his teeth, raised his legs and walked towards the door.
He opened and closed the high-intensity flashlight in his hand, using the light code for sailing at sea to convey his meaning to the rescue team members waiting not far away.
The official person in charge told the rescue team to wait where they were and not to come over, and he would go alone to inquire about the old man's situation.
That way, if there was any danger, only he would be hurt.
The rescue team watched the door of the house open and close, and the figure of the person in charge appeared behind the window.
"It's going to be okay, right?"
The rescue captain asked the person next to him, and it was unclear whether he was anxiously comforting himself or really looking for an answer.
…
Zhang Wubing called everyone upstairs down to have dinner, except Lu Xingxing, who was still sleeping soundly. He could only rely on sleep to make up for the fatigue after losing too much blood.
"Let him sleep. Xingxing has done his best today."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and stopped Zhang Wubing from calling Lu Xingxing: "At worst, I can heat up his dinner after he wakes up."
"Ah? But we had hot noodle soup for dinner, and by the time he got up, it had all soaked into a lump..."
Zhang Wubing looked at Lu Xingxing's room several times with worry. Before he could make a decision, he heard a "Puff!" sound coming from the kitchen downstairs, followed by a violent cough.
"Director Zhang!!! What's going on here?"
An Nanyuan's roar came: "Run, this shop is a shady shop! That Uncle Bai San, he must want to poison us with noodles! What kind of poison is this? Did they put too much? This is too disgusting, even a dog can tell there is something wrong with it!"
Zhang Wubing ran downstairs quickly.
Then he saw several people in the kitchen holding bowls of noodles, and their expressions were not very good.
An Nanyuan, who was so hungry that he had already eaten several mouthfuls, spat food out in his face with a terrified look as if "someone wants to harm me".
But Zhang Wubing just felt puzzled. He scratched his head and said strangely: "No, Uncle Bai and I made the noodles together. I watched him make it, so there must be no problem."
Song Ci's expression was uncertain. He suddenly realized something and asked Zhang Wubing, "What does Uncle Bai do? What do you do? Help him?"
Zhang Wubing shook his head. "No, Uncle Bai boiled water and kneaded the dough to make noodles, but after the noodles came out of the pot, he said he was not feeling well and left. I was responsible for the seasoning."
As soon as these words were spoken, An Nanyuan, who had been roaring angrily just now, became like a duck whose neck was grabbed by someone. He quacked and stopped talking.
An Nanyuan looked at the noodles in his hand, then looked up at Zhang Wubing who had an innocent look on his face. He smacked his lips, feeling the strange taste that still lingered in his mouth. His face turned blue, then green, then green, then yellow, in a colorful array, so spectacular.
"Director Zhang... I heard that you are a third-generation rich man. Do you usually cook?"
An Nanyuan hesitated and asked politely: "How do you usually solve the problem of eating?"
Zhang Wubing said straightforwardly: "Either my aunt at home cooks, or my parents cook, or we eat at a restaurant outside, or Brother Yan cooks."
"Although Brother Yan's cooking is not as good as Auntie's, it's actually quite delicious if you're not too picky."
Zhang Wubing answered sincerely, but everyone's faces turned gloomy.
"No wonder it tastes so bad."
An Nanyuan covered his mouth with trembling hands to stop himself from vomiting. The strange smell of all the spices mixed together made him feel so sick that tears welled up in his eyes. He felt deeply that he had wronged Uncle Bai.
It's obviously Director Zhang who wants them to die!
This is so disgusting that it can be used as a murder weapon, Director Zhang!
Nantian shook his head repeatedly: "Fortunately, Xingxing didn't come down. He escaped a disaster. Otherwise, he was already weak, and if he vomited again, he would be even weaker. I don't know if he can hold on."
"But where is Brother Yan? Did Brother Yan know that Director Zhang's cooking is terrible, so he cleverly ran away early?"
Hearing Nan Tian's words, Song Ci also looked up and looked around the yard: "Uncle Bai is not here either. Where did he go because he was not feeling well?"
Zhang Wubing said honestly: "Brother Yan said he was going out during dinner, Uncle Bai... maybe he had a stomachache and went to poop?"
"But don't worry, there's definitely no danger."
Zhang Wubing smiled and looked towards the yard.
