Chapter 180: Fetching Water from a Bamboo Basket
I walked side by side through the wet streets with the girl holding an umbrella. The fine rain obscured the bright lights of the roadside shops.
Ning Zhe walked into a small supermarket to buy something. Before he entered the door, he heard the proprietress behind the cashier counter smiling and saying hello to him: "Azhe, are you taking your girlfriend out to buy something?"
Ning Zhe nodded in agreement, took out a bottle of coconut tree from the freezer, and then turned to look at Chen Yaming who was hanging an umbrella at the door: "What do you want to drink?"
" Just like you.”
"Oh."
Ning Zhe didn't buy much, including two bottles of drinks, a small handful of kale and coriander, and a bag of frozen chicken wings. But the landlady still seemed very enthusiastic and kept saying this while weighing and scanning the code. He talked to him without saying a word and said some useless things.
Ning Zhe will always be like this whenever he returns to Gubei Town recently, because this year’s college entrance examination results have been released, and his results can be said to be very good, exactly 30 points higher than the admission score of Yundu University. Even in Qinzhou, a major college entrance examination state, his grades are ranked high.
There is a talented student in the village who can study at Yundu University. This news may not be too shocking in the city, but it is enough to make this unknown rural town full of joy.
Recently, even the dogs in the east part of the town are praising his deeds.
In addition, Boss Chen has recently been sending out invitations with great fanfare, inviting people everywhere to have his and Chen Yaming's engagement wine, which is even more serious. The four great joys in life, let this buddy meet two of them at once, even if no one knows them.
After returning home, Ning Zhe put the shopping on the kitchen counter, took off the apron that his grandmother usually wore from the hanging nail on the wall, and tied it on himself.
Grandpa and grandma have now been transferred to the hospital in the city. No one is living in the house they rented in the town, and presumably no one will come to live in it in the future. Ning Zhe is here to cancel the rent. Quit the rent, and then hire someone to move all your belongings to your residence in the city.
The old man was reluctant to live in the large flat floor he bought in the city, but Ning Zhe had no such worries.
Ning Zhe is a pragmatist. For him, there is basically no difference between the White House and the bridge tunnel except for their windproof and warm properties.
"It's raining. The people from the moving company said they would arrive late." After reading the message, Chen Yaming put the lock screen of her phone into her pocket and entered the kitchen with Ning Zhe: "What are you going to do? I'll give you a hand." Let's do it."
"No, I'm used to cooking alone." Ning Zhe shook his head, took out the old man's uneaten beef tenderloin from the freezer, and put it in warm water to thaw.
The beef tenderloin is sliced and stir-fried with kale. The chicken wings are first marinated and then oiled to create a garlic flavor. These are two very simple dishes that taste good and don't take much effort. They can be cooked in less than an hour. Ning Zhe likes such convenient dishes.
Then as soon as he put the chicken wings on the plate, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to press the 'Start Cooking' button on the rice cooker.
Fortunately, Chen Yaming pressed the button for him, so now the girl is sitting at the dining table with a sullen expression on her face, and there seems to be a line written on her face that reads, 'Just say you can't do it without me, right?' ’ word.
"Okay, I'll let you pretend." Ning Zhe brought the dishes to the table, took off his apron and sat down.
After finishing the meal, Ning Zhe cleared the table, took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen sink and prepared to wash them. At this time, Chen Yaming came up again and asked: "Do you want my help?"
"..." Ning Zhe turned to look at her, Somewhat speechless: "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me what's going on?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"Just write 'I have something to tell you' On the face.”
"Oh..." Chen Yaming pulled his arm in frustration: "That's right, Ning Zhe, didn't you apply for Yundu University as your first choice? It's summer vacation now, and I want to go to Yundu with you for a while. It’s time to get familiar with the environment in advance.”
She didn’t finish her sentence yet - if they miss this summer vacation, they will have to wait until a long time before they have time to stay together like now.
Chen Yaming has just finished her second year of high school and will be promoted to her third year in the second half of this year. It can be said that there is almost no entertainment time for high school students, especially those who want to apply for prestigious schools such as Yundu University.
"A man and a woman are traveling far away. Your father is quite worried about you..." Ning Zhe thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I will book a flight ticket after I move home."
It just so happened that he also had something to deal with in Yundu, so he happened to be on his way.
Chen Yaming suddenly became happy, and her beautiful smile bloomed like a flower: "No, no, no, my dad has already booked the flight. Let's just pack our things and wait for the flight." Well, that's what happened.
Ning Zhe said nothing more. The rain stopped for a while, and the moving company sent a message saying that their car had entered Gubei Town and asked him where he was now.
On the way to the south gate of the town to meet with the moving company, Ning Zhe suddenly received several messages on his mobile phone.
When I unlocked the screen, I saw several text messages and a long voice message. The contact person who sent the message was: Zhang Hanying.
Looking at the content of the message, Ning Zhe's eyes gradually became sharper.
When he entrusted Yin Lishang to the twin sisters and left Yundu, he made an agreement with Zhang Hanying and Zhang Yunwen that he would make video calls at a fixed time every day so that they would not have important and urgent matters. Try not to take the initiative to contact yourself, as it will cause trouble for him.
The obedient sisters have always abided by this agreement and have not taken the initiative to send him a message or call him for so many days, until today.
The contents of several messages sent by Zhang Hanying are:
[Ziqian, can you come to Yundu? 】
[I don’t want to disturb you, but during this period, something really happened here... some very strange things]
[Voice message (32 seconds)]
[Can you hurry up? Click here? I, I don’t know what to do...]
After Ning Zhe put on the Bluetooth headset, he was about to click on the voice message to hear the details. At this time, a phone call came.
The caller is: Lan Shiwen.
"It seems something really happened to Yundu..." Ning Zhe had already realized something.
He turned around and said to Chen Yaming who was following him, "Go meet the moving company first." Ning Zhe left in a hurry, found a deserted place, and answered the phone.
“Yeyao, where are you now?”
“In Qinzhou, what happened?” Ning Zhe had already changed into Yu Ziqian’s voice: “What’s the matter?”
"I have two pieces of news to tell you..."
"Hear the good news first." Ning Zhe said immediately.
Lan Shiwen's laughter suddenly came from the loudspeaker: "Unfortunately, both are bad news."
"Then let's listen to the less bad one first." Ning Zhe didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Okay, no kidding, during the time you left Yunzhou, I took people to the Juxian Garden again, dragged up the coffin from under the pond and opened it." Lan Shiwen's tone became serious. , said: "The black coffin with the word "Shou" is empty, there is nothing."
The ghost in the coffin is missing.
"What's another piece of bad news?" Ning Zhe asked.
"The red coffin with the word "Fu" is also empty."
