Chapter 373 Is There a Ghost in the Rice Warehouse?
Little Mianmian uncovered the white cloth bag that had been covering her; she had hidden in this bag and sneaked in yesterday.
The same applies to Yi'er and Yu'er.
They remained very calm throughout the journey, taking out two pieces of bread from their pockets and handing them to Xiao Mianmian.
"No rush, let's wait a bit longer. If Mother finds out now, she will definitely send us back immediately."
Little Mianmian nodded.
She took a bite of the pancake in her hand, which was filled with fruit filling that Aunt Zhou had stir-fried for them.
The filling made from stir-fried bright red fruit is a deep red color.
Little Mianmian was a little hungry, so she quickly finished the pancake in her hand, leaving a bit of red fruit filling on the corner of her mouth.
Just as Yi'er was about to reach out to wipe it off for her, a sound suddenly came from outside the rice warehouse.
The three of them immediately hid again.
As the sound came from the doorway, two men dressed in black crept in furtively.
The two of them carefully approached the newly delivered rice by the moonlight streaming through the window.
The man in black walking ahead opened a bag of rice, grabbed a handful, and smelled it. "It's really good rice. Du Wanchun from the Zhou family is quite capable; the rice he grows is indeed top-notch."
The man in black behind him whispered, "Manager, should we prepare this rice?"
The leader of the men in black tossed the rice in his hand into the bag, saying, "What a waste of this rice."
As he spoke, he prepared to take out a pot of medicine and sprinkle it into the pot.
This medicine isn't highly toxic, but it can cause vomiting and diarrhea after ingestion.
This person wanted to use this method to ruin the reputation of Zhou's rice shop.
The three little rascals hiding behind saw everything.
Little Mianmian frowned and shouted, "Stop!"
Her voice was full of childishness, sounding somewhat ethereal and unreal in the empty warehouse.
Yi'er and Yu'er quickly pulled Xiao Mianmian down, signaling her not to speak.
Little Mianmian nodded obediently.
The two people outside were startled by the noise and quickly looked around.
"Manager, is there someone in this rice warehouse?!"
The leader of the men in black looked up, frowning as he looked around.
"I locked the door to this rice barn; it was the last place I left, and I have the key. How could anyone be here?"
The waiter behind him trembled slightly and said, "Boss, that voice just now sounded like a child's voice. Do you think it could be a ghost?"
The leader of the men in black immediately rebuked, "There are no ghosts or gods in this world. Don't scare yourself. Maybe it's just a wild cat meowing."
The child's voice does indeed sound somewhat like a cat's.
Xiaomianmian was speaking a little too hastily just now, and she didn't pronounce the words clearly.
The man in black was skeptical, and cautiously looked around again. "That's true, maybe it's just a stray cat that came from somewhere."
Their courage continued to grow.
The leader of the men in black calmed down, opened the medicine bottle in his hand, and prepared to sprinkle the medicine into the rice.
When Yi'er saw this, she quickly kicked the wooden frame next to her.
There were some broken rice pieces on the wooden shelf, and with his kick, all the broken rice scattered on the ground.
This terrified the black-clad waiter. He clung to the leader of the black-clad men, his voice trembling as he cried, "Boss, there's a ghost! There really is a ghost!"
The leader of the men in black frowned, put away the medicine bottle, and slowly walked towards Yi'er and Xiao Mianmian.
The three little radish heads looked at each other, then nodded to one another.
They saw the leader of the men in black approach from behind.
Little Mianmian covered her head with the white cloth bag, suddenly stood up, grinned at them, and made a face.
Under the dim moonlight, Xiao Mianmian was dressed in white, her face was ashen, and the red jam at the corner of her mouth looked just like bright red blood.
At first glance, it looks like a ghost doll that has just eaten human blood in the night.
"Ah! A ghost! It really is a ghost!"
This terrified the two of them.
The man in black quickly pulled the leader of the men in black back.
"Shopkeeper, it really is a ghost! Let's go! Quick!"
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind blew in from outside the window, making the doors and windows rattle loudly.
