I didn't take it seriously. The master's arrangement of the magic circle had nothing to do with me.
Master Chen pushed something over and I looked at it. It was a talisman folded into the shape of a rice dumpling.
"Put it in your pocket," he said. "In extraordinary times, carry it with you for protection."
I hugged my fists and said "thank you" without being pretentious.
After eating, I packed another portion and took it back to Xiaoying to eat.
I helped Xiaoying give her another massage in the afternoon.
Massage is not expensive, it is an auxiliary massage. Xiaoying's body is too weak and it will take a long time to recover. Please take your time.
During dinner, Wei Rongrong came over and brought a bunch of delicious food. The three of us were eating when there was a knock on the door outside.
I went over and opened the door. There was a man in a black jacket standing outside. When he saw me, he said, "Boss Qin, make a fortune."
"Get rich, get rich." I looked closely and it looked very familiar. I suddenly remembered that Brother Sanlei came here to stir up trouble a few days ago. At that time, one of his subordinates was the person in front of me.
His name should be Dashuo. At that time, he asked me whether massage could cure hemorrhoids.
"Brother Shuo. Quick, quick, please come in."
Dashuo came in with a smile, saw us eating, and quickly said: "I won't come in, you can finish eating."
"You're welcome. We've just started. Rongrong gave Brother Shuo a pair of chopsticks."
Dashuo gave a thumbs up: "Boss Qin, you are such an open-minded person. We will be friends from now on. If you have anything to say, please speak up."
"you are welcome."
Wei Rongrong is also a sensible person. She is very enthusiastic when she sees outsiders coming and wants to go out to buy wine. Dashuo hurriedly said that he would not drink anymore because he had something to do with Boss Qin today.
After eating, Dashuo pulled me aside and whispered: "Boss Qin, I consulted about hemorrhoids a few days ago. When do you think it will start? Can it be done tonight?"
"Oh, what a coincidence." I said, "I have to wait for a client tonight and will go to her place later."
"What do you mean?" Wei Rongrong had pointed ears and ran over to ask, "Are you going out tonight?"
"Yes, the customer asked me to go to her house to present it." I smiled: "If the money is available, I will definitely take care of it."
"No, I'll go too!" Wei Rongrong shouted: "It must be a female customer."
I scolded, "Go to hell, what does it have to do with you."
Wei Rongrong came and insisted on going with me. I asked her to stay with Xiaoying.
Xiaoying smiled very sensibly and said that she didn't need anyone to accompany her and would go to bed soon.
Dashuo rubbed his hands and said, "I have nothing to do tonight. Otherwise, I will go with you."
I smiled bitterly, these two people were really causing trouble.
Just then, the phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Cinderella.
"Boss Qin, at eleven o'clock tonight, go to Room 405, Building 5, Jingsha Community. Don't be late."
I showed the information to the two of them, and Wei Rongrong became jealous: "Hey, it's Cinderella. Then who are you, the big bad wolf?"
"The Big Bad Wolf is from Little Red Riding Hood, and Cinderella is from Cinderella. Have you graduated from elementary school?" I mocked her.
Wei Rongrong got anxious, came up and beat me hard, and insisted on coming with me.
Dashuo said: "Jingsha Community is far away. I could have driven you there, but it was very congested and snowing at night. It's easier to take the subway."
I looked at the time. If I were to leave now, I could only take the subway.
The three of us tidied up, and I told Xiaoying not to open the door no matter who knocked on the door at night. She nodded and said don't worry, she will go to bed soon.
It was cold at night when I left the house, so I walked through the alley and went outside.
There was something strange about this evening. There were no people in the usually crowded alley, and the dim street lights shone on the snow that had been turned into deep black by cars.
After exiting the alley, I looked back and saw that the Hui Kee food stall was closed. No, what time was it? Master Chen's shop is usually open until midnight, and sometimes until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.
Why is it closed now?
strangeness.
In order to hurry, we crossed the street and came to the subway entrance opposite without having time to think too much.
The weather was cold, and the subway entrance was surrounded by a plastic shed. It was very dark and dark inside. An elevator was empty, moving slowly downwards, and one could see the darkness below.
"Why is there no one tonight?" Dashuo wondered. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "It's not even ten o'clock yet. Usually there are a lot of people at this time."
Wei Rongrong grabbed my arm and whispered that I was a little scared.
"If you're afraid, go back first." I said, "Brother Shuo, you can go back too, I can go alone."
Wei Rongrong glanced at the way back. The entrance to the alley was as dark as a monster's mouth, and there was no one on the street. The atmosphere is extremely weird.
"I'm more afraid of going back." She said softly, "It's better to be with you."
I reluctantly said let’s go. The three of us took the elevator down.
When we arrived at the checkpoint below, there was no one guarding it, and the entire subway station was even more deserted. I was in a trance for a while, as if I had traveled through time to the end of the world.
"Something's wrong. Why are there no people checking?" Dashuo said.
A voice suddenly came from behind, "I'm not a human being?"
The three of us were startled, and turned around to look back. We didn’t know when a staff member had arrived, wearing a dark blue uniform and a big-brimmed hat, with his face hidden in the shadow of the hat brim.
"Go in," he said.
Wei Rongrong said: "Why is there no one tonight?"
"No one? Haha." The staff member laughed: "There are so many people this season! You will know after you sit two stops down."
Just as he was talking, some people came in at the subway entrance, both men and women, but they were all older, chatting and laughing.
"Look, this is coming."
The three of us looked at each other suspiciously, and when we came to the access control area, we didn't even need to swipe the card, and the electronic door opened automatically.
"Tonight is going to be interesting." I pinched my teeth.
Wei Rongrong didn't know whether it was because she was scared or because she was cold. She was trembling all over. She held my arm tightly and her body almost pressed against me.
The girl spit pandan, which made my ears itch.
