Chapter 92: Are your ways of repaying others so special?
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, everything is quiet.
Su Chen drove slowly towards the cemetery.
The headlights of the dining car looked so small in the thick night, as if they would be swallowed by the darkness at any time.
Finally, we arrived at the stall location yesterday.
Su Chen took a deep breath and got out of the cab.
A breeze blew, rustling the surrounding grass.
He kept encouraging himself in his heart.
It's fine…
This is not an uninhabited place.
I specially prepared pork kidneys today, and the villagers from last night will be here soon.
At this moment, there was a sudden low sound behind him.
"Why……"
In this quiet cemetery, the sound seemed lazy and vague.
It sounded a lot like a sigh.
No!
That shouldn't be a sigh, it's calling him.
???
Damn, isn't this place a little bit uneasy?!
Su Chen's hair stood on end in an instant, his mind went blank, and he almost stopped breathing.
"Why……"
"Young man..."
A familiar voice sounded, and Su Chen's heart suddenly shrank.
Um???
Yesterday, the old man seemed to have said that he would wait for him.
Su Chen calmed himself down and quickly looked back.
At this moment, suddenly, a row of dark figures rushed out without warning.
By the light of the dining car.
Su Chen saw a row of figures slowly approaching.
The pale faces looked particularly eerie under the light.
No matter how you look at it, it's weird.
Su Chen was stunned! Stuck!!!
What’s going on???
Why are there so many homeless people here?
Before Su Chen could continue to be confused, the old man from yesterday directly asked for credit.
"Young man, I'm here to repay you."
"Huh? What??? Wait, it's not..."
Su Chen was shocked.
Seeing a group of homeless men walking towards him, he subconsciously stepped back.
In a panic, he bumped into a tree behind him and almost fell.
What the hell is this?
It was completely different from what he imagined!
I thought the reward he was talking about was something good, but is this it?
You dragged a few homeless uncles over to me, and that's how you repay me?
I'm brave enough as long as you didn't scare me to death!
"Young man, why are you hiding? I brought them here to eat kebabs."
The old man shouted at the top of his voice.
"Uh, I know."
Su Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In the middle of the night, what else could you be waiting for me here for besides your stuttering?
The old man reached into his pocket.
After taking out a clean plastic bag, he took out a clean handkerchief.
As they opened layer by layer, several crumpled banknotes were revealed.
"Don't be disgusted, young man. This is the money we earn from selling scrap."
Su Chen took a quick look.
Only then did I realize that the old man's clothes seemed to be more worn out than yesterday.
There were several holes on it, and the threads were hanging down, making it look like a torn cloth bag.
The old man seemed to understand and spoke calmly.
"It was chased by a dog. It's not a problem. I can still wear it."
After saying that, he grinned.
After hearing this, Su Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing the old man's sincere look, my heart warmed and I quickly cleaned up the stall and started grilling.
A few homeless people did not come closer, but sat by the trees nearby and waited.
The lamb skewers sizzled on the charcoal fire.
The fragrance gradually spread and caught the noses of several homeless people.
The old people shivered at the smell.
I wish I could be led by the nose, and the corners of my mouth are drooling.
It fell to the ground with a "thump, thump" sound.
The old man from yesterday wiped the corner of his mouth and quickly spoke to Su Chen.
"Well... young man, don't grill too much. We don't have much money. One skewer of meat per person is enough."
Su Chen was busy flipping the lamb skewers and replied without even raising his head.
"I have a discount every day right after we open. Buy one skewer, get three free, plus a vegetarian dish. It's only for the last minute. Don't worry, we won't charge you more."
When the homeless people heard this, they looked at each other.
His cloudy eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude.
"Oh, young man, that's great! I'm so sorry to bother you."
Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth.
The smile looked particularly sincere under the reflection of the charcoal fire.
Four skewers of meat per person, plus one vegetarian dish.
It’s better to pair this vegetarian dish with some eggplant. Eggplants are big and can satisfy your hunger and relieve greasiness.
Thinking of this, he leaned over and picked up a few fresh eggplants from the refrigerator.
Cut in half and coat with layers of the carefully prepared dressing.
When the outer skin of the eggplant turns dark brown, place it on low heat and bake it slowly.
The outstanding aroma of eggplant is released as it is constantly brushed with oil and sprinkled with seasonings.
When it’s almost done, sprinkle the finely chopped garlic evenly over the eggplant flesh.
"Mmm! It smells so good!"
The smoke was so thick that Su Chen's face could not be seen clearly. Only the aroma of garlic penetrated the layers of smoke and reached the noses of the old people.
"Okay, everyone, eat it while it's hot."
Su Chen greeted them warmly and distributed meat skewers and eggplants to the elderly.
The old people thanked him repeatedly.
He took the skewer with trembling hands and took a big bite.
The expression on his face instantly became distorted.
It's not because it tastes bad.
It was precisely because this delicious food came too suddenly that it almost made them faint with happiness in an instant.
While eating, several old people suddenly covered their faces and sobbed.
The cries mixed with the sounds of swallowing echoed in the silent cemetery.
Su Chen subconsciously pulled his clothes together.
No, you guys...
Uncles, what are you doing? Is it really okay to cry like this in a cemetery at night?
Several old men sat on the ground, and each of them finished three skewers but were reluctant to throw them away.
They put the pointed ends of the bamboo sticks into their mouths and sucked hard.
The skewer slid back and forth in the mouth, making a "sizzling" sound.
The old man's tongue swirled around the skewer flexibly, not missing any remaining meat residue.
Everyone cleaned the bamboo sticks so well that they reflected light under the lamp.
The grilled eggplant was not left out either.
After eating the eggplant flesh, he stuffed the skin into his mouth and chewed it in big mouthfuls.
Then he put his finger into the foil again.
Pick out the seasoning inside bit by bit and suck it with enjoyment.
He ate until his hands and face were covered in oil, but he was completely unaware of it.
Just then.
A dozen weak beams of light swayed and swept over from the dark place.
Su Chen subconsciously looked over there.
Oh, the villagers are here!
Yesterday, in order to ambush people, the electric bikes were parked far away.
Today, he came straight towards me.
"Hahahaha, Boss, you're really here! You really didn't stand me up!"
"Yeah, I thought you youngsters were just acting rashly yesterday."
"Boss, give me two skewers of meat quickly. I can't do it anymore. I don't have the energy to work today. My legs are as weak as noodles."
“…”
The villagers all got off the electric bikes, talking and laughing.
While Su Chen was greeting, his eyes inadvertently swept over to the place where the homeless people were.
But I found that there was no one there.
It seems that he doesn't want to see anyone and is hiding.
