After understanding the idea, Zhao Youliang decided that he could not force others, but had to work hard on his own.
Then he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea: "Brother Chen, let's drink all night today. Sister and Xiao Li will be with us. No one is allowed to go home!"
Zhao Youliang did this not because he was greedy for wine, but to find a reason to gather these three "dangerous elements" together so that he would not be able to take care of them by himself.
If he neglects the other at that time, Zhao Youliang will regret it for the rest of his life.
Brother Chen was obviously a generous man, and he did not look down upon Zhao Youliang because he was young and a migrant worker.
After being stunned for a moment, he immediately agreed generously and took out his cell phone to call home to ask for leave.
"Hey wifey, you and the kids need to go to bed first and don't have to wait for me. I'll drink with Quantum all night long."
"It's right here at Yingchun Girl's BBQ."
Brother Chen's lover was obviously a virtuous and gentle woman. She was not angry when she heard this, but only gave gentle advice.
"Okay, you don't have to go to work on the weekend tomorrow anyway."
"But drink less, I'm getting older here."
"Not only you, but also Quantum, drink less and take care of your health."
What men are "fearful of" is not being stupid, but being "flexible" like Li's sister-in-law.
Sure enough, Brother Chen's tone became gentler after hearing this, and even his face was full of tenderness.
"I know, wife, don't worry."
"I drink less, and I also ask Quantum to drink less."
"You should close the door if I'm not at home. If something happens suddenly, just call me. I won't turn off the phone."
Seeing the warmth of Brother Chen and his wife, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but think of his fate as a "desperate boy", and felt a little sad.
After the couple hung up the phone, they said with emotion: "Brother Chen, you and your sister-in-law have such a good relationship."
Brother Chen smiled sweetly when he heard this: "The main reason is that your sister-in-law is good and can understand me."
"Well, in fact, after all these years, my brother's bad temper always offended people, so your sister-in-law has suffered a lot from following me, and she has also been afraid."
While they were talking, Mrs. Yingchun and Xiao Li came together, one carrying meat skewers and the other carrying two boxes of beer.
Xiao Li could naturally guess the reason why Zhao Youliang asked him to drink all night. Even though Mrs. Yingchun didn't know, she happily agreed.
Come and accompany me happily.
It's just like the sister-in-law of the Li family, she always tells her to eat more and drink less to avoid harming her body, so she mainly chats.
Her gesture naturally aroused the kind ridicule from Brother Chen, who said, "Whoever marries Yingchun's eldest sister must be blessed!"
"He is kind, gentle and capable!"
Mrs. Yingchun felt a little embarrassed, which was rare. She raised her wine glass and toasted Brother Chen three times in a row.
Who would have thought that just now, she had advised three men to drink less...
Time flies, and it’s two o’clock in the middle of the night in a blink of an eye.
The rest of the drinkers had dispersed, and Zhao Youliang and the other four moved from the street to the barbecue restaurant to continue.
Of course, during this period, Zhao Youliang went back to the paper shop once.
I came back after everything was done according to the rules.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Zhao Youliang hesitated and told the reason why the three of them were left drinking.
Of course, it was mainly for Brother Chen to hear. After all, both Xiao Li and Mrs. Yingchun had seen ghosts.
He originally thought that Brother Chen would not believe it, or simply take it as a joke.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, people were just stunned for a moment, and then they didn't believe it, nor did they panic or fear.
He just nodded slightly: "Xing Qun, big brother knows, big brother, thank you!"
"You try your best to help big brother get through this."
"Actually, eldest brother is not afraid of death. He is just worried that if I die, your sister-in-law and children will be bullied and suffer hardship if they have no one to take care of them."
Brother Chen's open-mindedness and calmness made Zhao Youliang stunned: "Brother, you..."
Brother Chen guessed what Zhao Youliang wanted to ask, so he interrupted with a smile.
"My brother was born here, and my ancestors are all here. I know some things more or less."
"I also know that there are really unexplainable things in this world...such as the recent spate of murders."
"To be honest, my dad told me before he died: We all are guilty, our ancestors lacked great virtue, and something will definitely come back to take revenge."
"So big brother believes in you, Quantum!"
Brother Chen's words aroused the curiosity of Zhao Youliang and the others.
Needless to say, Zhao Youliang was a complete victim;
Mrs. Yingchun also married later and didn’t understand the town’s past;
As for Xiao Li, he belongs to a minority "ethnic group" in the town and is not qualified to know some core things.
"Brother Chen, what's going on in our town? Why is it so evil?"
"Can you tell us more conveniently?"
Brother Chen smiled bitterly upon hearing this and drank a glass of beer before speaking.
"Brother doesn't know about collective things, because it's been too long."
"It is said that the evil things our ancestors did happened during the Republic of China, or even during the warlords' melee."
"It's just that my father said a few words when he was alive..."
According to what Brother Chen knows, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place was originally a small village called Titouling.
There are more than fifty families living there in total.
At that time, there was a proverb that said: Titou Ridge, Titou Ridge, nine out of ten households are restless; half of the generations will die, and no descendants will die cleanly.
This means that among the aborigines living in Titou Ridge, half of the new population will die in each generation.
For example, if this family gave birth to four children, two of them were destined to have accidents.
If a family has no children, the older generation is doomed to die violently and the whole family will be wiped out completely.
As for why this happened, the rumor was related to an outrageous thing done by more than fifty families.
No one knows what the specific matter is. Only the village chief, who is now the mayor, knows clearly.
The situation of "nine out of ten households are restless, and half of the generations are dead" was changed until some experts took the initiative to help more than 20 years ago.
Although many people still die randomly every year, it is not that evil.
Even the largest prison in the province next to it was built at the suggestion of an expert.
The purpose of the construction was also to suppress the "things" in the paper shop.
Of course, these are all folk rumors and have never been officially acknowledged.
After listening to Brother Chen's story, Zhao Youliang and the others were speechless for a long time.
They finally had a clear understanding of the horror of the paper shop and the weirdness of the town.
At the same time, Mrs. Yingchun became more worried about Zhao Youliang.
"Brother Chen, according to what you say, is he particularly dangerous?"
Brother Chen nodded deeply: "Yes!"
"As far as I know, eight young men like Quantum died in the shop."
"It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary person and can't help Quantum."
"I'll let Quantum worry about it tonight!"
