Chapter 34 Xiao Qiang
Chapter 34 Xiao Qiang
Gu Junye put the silver hourglass on the window sill, and when he went back to look at it again, one-seventh of the silver sand inside had gone.
"Looks like we have 6 days left in this world."
Gu Junye nodded, put the hourglass in the cabinet, and closed the cabinet door.
Ye Chuanlin looked funny, and asked him why he hid the hourglass. Gu Junye replied, "It's annoying to see people." Ye Chuanlin shrugged. The countdown hung in his heart like the sword of Damocles, and he was worried every day, not knowing what Gu Junye was doing at this time.
The weather has gotten warmer, and the night is not so cold. There are vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes with carts downstairs, and the whole small building is soaked in the aroma of sweet potatoes.Gu Junye leaned against the window and looked at Ye Chuanlin from the corner of his eye. The other party was lying on the bed with a plate of half-eaten baked sweet potatoes next to him. He was biting a small spoon and writing something seriously in a notebook. They are all bathed in warm yellow light, the cold appearance of their bodies is weakened, and there is a sense of warmth at home.
Ye Chuanlin's handwriting is not particularly beautiful, neither elegant nor romantic, but the strokes are square and square, and the way he writes seriously is quite cute.
"I think we still have to go to Beijing."
Ye Chuanlin stopped writing, and quickly understood Gu Junye's train of thought: "You mean the 'Gu Junye' in this world, if they exist, have different memories and personalities?"
"Maybe."
Anyway, the two of them didn't have much to do when they stayed at home, and there were still six days left, so it would be a good idea to go to the Beijing Monster Hunting Committee.But Ye Chuanlin remembered another thing: "Before I go to Gu Junye in this world, I have to go somewhere else."
"where?"
"I...I want to go by myself." Ye Chuanlin said hesitantly: "I just have a guess, if I find anything, I will definitely tell you."
After Ye Chuanlin said that, Gu Junye just let him go, humming a song and lying beside Ye Chuanlin, picked up his notebook and read.Ye Chuanlin made a table on it, writing down all the strange things he found in this world.
The next morning, Ye Chuanlin came to the 1912 block alone. In the morning, there were almost no people on this street. Ye Chuanlin found the shop "Old Wood Music Bar" where he used to work, opened the curtain and walked in.
The bar was really deserted, there was no one except Ye Chuanlin.The busiest time is of course at night, when there are parties, singing, drinking, chatting, afternoons are okay, occasionally someone will come to drink tea, Ye Chuanlin bets there are not many guests like himself who come in the morning.
The waiter on the day shift is an old acquaintance of mine. The people in the bar call him Xiaoliu. He is simpler and easier to say anything.
"May I ask what you need?"
"I want to ask you about a person, Xiao Qiang, who works here, right?"
"Brother Xiao, yes, he resigned yesterday, and he didn't even want this month's bonus. Why, what did he do?"
Xiao Liu was nervous, and Ye Chuanlin quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no, I just want to ask him if he has taken a long period of leave or something different from usual?"
"No." Xiao Liu was puzzled.
Right at this moment, the bartender at the counter opened his mouth, and he laughed and scolded, "Why not? This kid has always been very good at drinking, but he went to drink with a few people from the bar next door the night before, and he couldn't do it after a few drinks. When he came back, he fell headlong. I fell down on the side of the road, and the person next door helped me over, and then I lay in the lounge for a long time. Do you think it’s strange, you don’t get drunk with a thousand glasses of wine on weekdays, but two glasses of wine that day won’t work, it’s just pretending Get drunk, the whole person is lying motionless on the bed like a dead pig."
Hey, the night when I drank with a few brothers in the bar next door was the time for me to time travel!The hairs all over Ye Chuanlin's body stood on end in an instant, his mouth was dry, and he asked nervously, "Is it really motionless?"
The bartender continued: "Isn't it? No matter how hard you push, you won't wake up. If you are not still breathing, the boss will call an ambulance! Then it was his turn to be on duty, and the shift changer pushed again, and he woke up. What a coincidence. What a coincidence? After waking up, I immediately ran away as if I was being hunted down, and I called and resigned that night."
Xiao Liu was surprised: "There's this thing? Why didn't I know!"
"You work on a day shift, how would you know!" Ye Chuanlin couldn't help interjecting, the moment the words fell, the other two looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help but forget the fact that he was no longer Xiao Qiang, couldn't help but Use the original tone to teach Xiao Liu a lesson.
Ye Chuanlin smiled coquettishly, "Generally, the bar has day shifts and night shifts. I have done it before, and I know these systems."
The bartender didn't bother with this question, and began to emphasize how unreasonable and uncharacteristic Xiao Qiang was when he was drunk that day.While listening, Ye Chuanlin's thoughts changed sharply. He thought of a possibility that he had ignored.
He always thought that he was Xiao Qiang, who was inexplicably reborn on Ye Chuanlin's body after a hangover, but what if there was no such person as Xiao Qiang?Gu Junye told himself that when the demon refining pot absorbed a part of Bai Ze's demon power and soul, he always thought that the "Ye Chuanlin" in this world was the embodiment of this part of the demon soul, but what if it wasn't?
What if the so-called Xiao Qiang is this part of the demon soul?I am the one who lives in this world in a jug!
In this way, it makes sense, Xiao Qiang is the part of the demon soul that was sucked into the pot, and his life memories all the time happened in this world. For some reason, his demon soul went out and returned to the real world. On the body of Ye Chuanlin, the main soul of the world, most of Ye Chuanlin's demon power was replaced in the pot.This can also explain why the demon power is not strong after passing through, and the time in this world is different from that outside, so Xiao Qiang somehow fell asleep for a long time, and no one could wake him up.
Until he returned to the world in the pot again, and returned to Xiao Qiang's body, because the demon soul was complete this time, his body and appearance changed quickly, and he became Ye Chuanlin.
It's a creepy guess, but plausible enough!
This world is so similar to Xiao Qiang's world in his memory, before he thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it's just because the world in the pot was originally the world where Xiao Qiang stayed!
"Guest? Guest? Are you okay?" Xiao Liu's voice came from beside his ear.
Ye Chuanlin forced a smile, ordered a glass of lemonade, and asked politely, "Can I ask more questions?"
Xiao Liu was obviously hesitant, "Who are you, brother Xiao Qiang?"
"Actually, I'm Xiao Qiang's friend. I find it strange that he resigned suddenly, because I don't know much about his work. Out of my friend's concern, I want to know if he has any problems at work."
"Oh, then you can ask, and I will tell you what I can tell you."
"Thank you. I want to ask, has Xiao Qiang been working the night shift here all the time, and after work, he always goes out to press the road with others?"
"Yes! Brother Xiao Qiang is a night owl by nature!"
I have to ask more detailed questions, Ye Chuanlin thought to himself, while asking some irrelevant things to lower Xiao Liu's guard, he was preparing a few detailed questions.
"I remember that on Christmas Eve last year, Xiao Qiang posted a picture in Moments. There were many people shopping together? I don't know any of the friends in it, are they friends from the bar?"
Xiao Liu still remembers what happened on Christmas Eve last year. This person must have a good relationship because he can see brother Xiao Qiang's circle of friends.Xiao Liu told him bluntly: "Yeah, last year on Christmas Eve, several employees in our bar were single dogs, and they made an appointment with each other to hang out together. There were me, Xiao Qiang, Yang Liyang, and the boss. The four of us had a good meal." Dinner, singing, and taking pictures under the huge Christmas tree in the city center!"
Afterwards, Ye Chuanlin asked several details about getting along with each other one after another, and they all matched up without exception. The "Xiao Qiang" here was no different from the one in his memory.
Ye Chuanlin gulped down the lemon soda, the bubbles exploded in his mouth, his whole mouth began to tingle, the cold soda slid all the way into his stomach, and goose bumps appeared on his arms layer after layer.
Ye Chuanlin couldn't tell what it was like in his heart at the moment, it was half happy and half sad, he finally found a little bit of the key to this world, Xiao Qiang was Ye Chuanlin, Ye Chuanlin was Xiao Qiang, he seemed to never need to I'm worried about my soul leaving my body again; however, my so-called memory of more than 20 years is just living in this false world in the refining pot, and it's me who lives like a dream.
The sun was shining outside, which is a rare good weather. Ye Chuanlin was walking under the warm sun, and saw a figure leaning against the end of the bar street.Gu Junye was wearing a black sports coat, holding a bag in his hand, and was waving towards him. Ye Chuanlin walked over slowly, and Gu Junye stretched out his arms in front of him and spun around in a circle.
"What are you doing?"
A look of disappointment appeared on Gu Junye's face. He opened the bag, put a black coat of the same style on Ye Chuanlin, and then showed him how the patterns on the two pieces of clothing were combined into one, smiling. Said: "You haven't noticed yet, this is a couple outfit."
Ye Chuanlin sighed, not looking very happy, took off his coat irritably, stuffed it back into the bag roughly, and yelled at Gu Junye: "When is it, why are you still playing? Come on!" My heart!"
