In Ye Ji Noodle House.
After Lao Ye closed the shop door, he quickly raised his hand and smelled it.
Still tasteless.
But he knew that the smell must still be very strong.
He hurried to the inner room, picked up the toilet water, poured a handful into his palm, and wiped it on his face, neck and arms.
As he was wiping, Lao Ye's hand suddenly stopped.
He raised his hand again suspiciously, and saw that long and thin hairs suddenly appeared on his originally shriveled forearm.
In disbelief, he reached out and picked up a hair and pulled it out. After taking a closer look, Old Ye quickly went crazy and started scratching frantically again, as if he wanted to pull out all the hairs.
Just then, there was a knock on the shop door.
Lin Jingyu's voice came from outside.
"Uncle Ye, why did you close the door? Open it."
It’s Ayu.
Old Ye quickly adjusted himself and forced a smile.
He muttered secretly: "Don't lose your temper, don't lose your temper, you can't lose your temper, don't scare A Yu."
When he opened the shop door and saw Su Chen, Old Ye was stunned.
"Ayu, what are you doing..."
Su Chen subconsciously moved his nose, and the smell of corpse became heavier.
Then he took a closer look at Lao Ye's face.
Age spots, wrinkles and fine lines are all over his face, but his complexion is normal.
But his face seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. When he looked closely, he found that it was a layer of fine fuzz.
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Jingyu was quick-witted and made an excuse: "Uncle Ye, my buddy is very accurate in fortune-telling. Haven't you been waiting for Brother Awang to come back? I thought, instead of waiting blindly like this, it would be better to let him calculate an exact date. That way, Uncle Ye, you will have something to look forward to, right?"
A Biao also reacted and started to flatter Su Chen, telling him how he had predicted that something would happen to Sun Feiyan yesterday, and how Kong Aiqin had encountered her husband with his mistress when she went to the hospital today.
Old Ye's eyes lit up and he quickly invited them in and poured them three bowls of hot water.
Su Chen looked at Old Ye's hand holding the bowl.
There is also a layer of fluff on top.
It can boil water, is not afraid of water or fire, moves quickly, and hair starts to grow on its face and hands. It is a hair zombie.
But zombies are almost all vicious and ferocious, so why are the zombies in this world so different?
Su Chen lowered his eyes to hide his expression. After drinking a mouthful of hot water, he said, "Brother Biao, please close the shop."
A Biao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and closed the shop door.
Although Old Ye was confused, he soon understood.
Perhaps he didn't want outsiders to hear his own Awang's fortune? The young man was quite considerate.
He pulled a chair over and sat down before speaking.
"Young man, my son Awang was born on September 13, 1953 at 3:00 PM. Can you help me calculate when Awang will be home?"
The smell of toilet water was very strong. Lin Jingyu and A Biao pinched it subconsciously. The former gave Su Chen a dry laugh and shrank his neck when he heard it.
Fortune telling was just his excuse, but he didn't expect Uncle Ye really wanted to tell fortunes and didn't object.
Su Chen was calm and composed. He twisted his fingers and began to calculate.
Old Ye stared at Su Chen with his eyes, as if he wanted to stare a hole in him.
Ah Biao noticed something was wrong and started chatting: "Uncle Ye, why do so many people say that the braised noodles you make are very salty recently? Are you still sick and haven't recovered yet?"
Lin Jingyu quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, Uncle Ye, if you are not feeling well, you should rest more and don't exhaust yourself. When Brother Awang comes back with his wife and children, you will have to take care of your grandson."
Old Ye was happy when he heard that.
"Yes, yes, I have to be well. I have to wait for Awang to come back and hold my grandson in my arms."
As soon as he finished speaking, his face darkened, and if you didn't look closely, it looked a little gloomy.
Lin Jingyu kept muttering in his heart: There is something wrong with Uncle Ye.
He exchanged glances with A Biao, and both of them became alert.
They are all like this, let alone Su Chen.
With his current level of Taoism, he can barely deal with a purple zombie that has just transformed. Above the purple zombie, there are white zombies, black zombies, and green zombies, and then there are hairy zombies. For him to deal with a hairy zombie now is like hitting a rock with an egg.
However, the zombies in this world seem to be different from those in the original world. At least this zombie is quite rational. As long as you don't provoke him, you may be able to reform him.
However, the chances of being reformed are not great.
Su Chen thought about kicking Lin Jingyu, and hinted with his eyes that he and A Biao should quickly find an excuse to leave. However, he didn't expect that Lin Jingyu would hug A Biao and glare at him after being kicked.
"No, Brother Biao, why did you kick me for no reason?"
A Biao frowned: "Nonsense, I didn't move my legs at all."
"If it wasn't you who kicked him, could it be a ghost?"
…
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Su Chen felt a headache.
What a stupid teammate!
He took a deep breath: "Okay, stop arguing."
Then he looked at Old Ye and said, "Uncle Ye, I've figured it out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyu and A Biao immediately shut up and stared at him with burning eyes.
"Uncle Ye, your son has been weak since childhood. He had a major ordeal when he was three years old. Even after surviving it, his life is still difficult and he is often beaten and scolded."
When talking about this, Lao Ye felt sad.
However, he blinked and his eyes didn't turn red at all, let alone tears.
After a long while, Old Ye finally sighed and nodded: "It's my fault, it's all my fault!"
"Awang wasn't born full-term. He was just a tiny little kitten when he was born. But, but he was a boy. I felt relieved at that time and joined the army. Who would have known that he and his mother were bullied in their hometown? Obviously, they were so nice to me when I came home."
Old Ye's voice was stiff and hoarse, enough for Lin Jingyu and A Biao to hear the resentment and bitterness in it.
And they don't know any of this at all.
"When Awang was three years old, his mother accidentally fell into the water while trying to protect him and died. Awang also fell into the water and had a high fever for a week. They didn't care at all. A distant relative's wife sent someone to tell me, and I rushed home from the army and rushed him to the hospital. He narrowly saved his life."
Old Ye let out a breath as he spoke.
Lin Jingyu suddenly widened his eyes, then silently turned his head and pinched his nose.
It stinks so much, it stinks to death!
How could this stench be the smell of a dead rat? It was clearly, clearly...
Lin Jingyu suddenly remembered.
Last summer, someone was found dead in a shanty house on the outskirts of Cuicheng a month after being found. He went to watch the commotion and got a close look thanks to his relationship with the police station staff. However, as soon as he entered the shanty house, he was hit by a foul odor.
That's the stench!
So, it really is corpse qi.
But how could it come out of Ye's mouth?
There was horror in Lin Jingyu's eyes. He calmed down and continued to listen to what Old Ye said.
"Later, I retired from the army and brought Awang to Cuicheng to work at a nearby textile factory. Someone introduced me to a girl, and Awang ended up with that vicious stepmother who beat and scolded him all day long. I told her several times, but I got beaten and scolded too. I, I...it was my fault. I thought that what I learned in the army was about dealing with the enemy, not women, so..."
Ah Biao sighed, "Uncle Ye, Brother Awang was bullied so badly back then that he was too timid to play with us later."
Lin Jingyu recalled the past and nodded: "That's right, it's thanks to Brother Biao's protection, otherwise Brother Awang would still be bullied outside."
"Yes, so when Awang said he wanted to go to Southeast Asia, I opposed it, but he said that he didn't want to stay in this family anymore and he didn't want to see that woman..." Old Ye wanted to cry again as he spoke, but he couldn't.
To avoid appearing strange in front of them, he looked at Su Chen again and said, "Young man, you're right. After I came to Cuicheng, I didn't tell anyone about the things that happened before. Awang didn't know much at the time, so I guess he didn't know either."
"Young man, I've lived to this age and know you're saying this to make me believe you. I believe you, an old man like me," he asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, when will my Awang come home?"
After saying that, he thought to himself: You must be quick, otherwise, I might not be able to wait any longer.
Su Chen took a deep breath when he heard this.
"Uncle Ye, you have to be mentally prepared."
Old Ye's expression changed instantly.
The hair that originally covered his face and hands began to grow rapidly.
