Ghost Breath - C26

“How could I eat so much that I have a stomachache? Can I show you my blood test from the hospital last night? “Forget it, I don’t think a person like you would be able to understand it. Anyway, you have to give me an explanation!”

“I’m not the boss, what kind of explanation can I give you?” The shop assistant had an innocent look on his face.

“You’re not the boss, so you should look for the boss. Aren’t you good at errands?”

The more Jiang Xiaomei talked, the angrier she got, louder she got, and even Xu Yawen could not stand it anymore, so he advised him: “Why are you getting angry at me for working so hard, wait till the boss comes back, then we can talk about it again.”

“Don’t talk!” Jiang Xiaomei forcefully flung her hand away.

At this moment, the shop assistant’s face was ashen. He stood there like a wooden stake, not moving at all.

Jiang Xiaomei pointed at the fellow’s nose and complained, then suddenly said: “I think your shop is selling dead meat, right? The crematorium is nearby, isn’t it? ”

When Jiang Xiaomei’s words came out, the entire audience went into an uproar. Xu Yawen had also realized that these words were way too outrageous, and immediately advised Jiang Xiaomei to stop speaking.

“Miss, you have to take responsibility for your words. We still need to do business in the future!” The shop assistant’s voice was also filled with anger.

“Sure, I’m responsible. How about this …” Jiang Xiaomei said as she looked at the plate of roasted meat in the shop assistant’s hands, “This plate of meat, you want me to take it to the food supervision organization to test it, do you dare? If there are any problems with the test, I, Jiang Xiaomei, will immediately apologize to you! ”

“Sure, take it.” The shop assistant was very straightforward, and handed the plate over to Jiang Xiaomei.

Jiang Xiaomei did not expect the other party to be so straightforward. When she received the plate, she asked again: What’s your name?

“Xiao Dong, winter.”

“Mm, I’ll give you this plate of meat to calculate the price.”

“I won’t take your money!” With that, Xiao Dong turned and left.

Jiang Xiaomei was startled, but at the same time, she felt awkward. Xu Yawen indicated for her to quickly leave, and the two of them immediately went out of the eatery.

Along the way, Jiang Xiaomei was carrying a bowl of roasted meat. Xu Yawen sighed repeatedly. Sometimes, he really couldn’t stand Jiang Xiaomei’s temper, it was fine if she wasn’t angry, but when she is angry, it was as if she was a different person.

It was only at home that Xu Yawen started to criticize Jiang Xiaomei:

“Do you think it’s necessary? “You made him sound like that, he’s a labourer. If there’s really anything, go talk to his boss about it!”

Actually, Jiang Xiaomei had calmed down and also realized that she was being a bit excessive just now, but she was unwilling to admit it on the surface.

“What? I said something, what’s wrong? What’s more, I’ll take this plate of meat and test it tomorrow. There’s no problem with the test, I’ll personally apologize.”

“Really?”

“Of course, you think I’m joking?”

“Ai …” I can’t stand you. ”

“Even if you can’t take it, you have to.”

The next day, Jiang Xiaomei woke up early in the morning, took the roasted meat out of the refrigerator that was already in a bag, and got Xu Yawen to drive her to the food supervision organization.

There was nothing Xu Yawen could do. He first called the local food supervision and administration bureau, and found out that the food and medicine laboratory was at a laboratory in the suburbs. Thus, the two of them took an early morning off and went to the suburbs.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiaomei gave her his phone number, telling her to contact him whenever there was any results.

In the afternoon of the second day, the person called and directly told Jiang Xiaomei that the ingredient in the bag of meat was lamb, everything was normal.

“How is it? There’s nothing more to say, right? ” Once Xu Yawen returned home, he asked Jiang Xiaomei proudly.

“Tsk, even if there’s nothing wrong with their meat, my stomach is still the truth.” Jiang Xiaomei still wanted to die.

“You’re just being stubborn. “What do you mean, are you going to apologize?” Xu Yawen asked with a half smile.

“We’ll see.” Jiang Xiaomei was still not convinced.

For the next few days, everything was calm and peaceful. The two of them did not mention anything about the eatery anymore.

Until Friday. Because Jiang Xiaomei returned home late and did not cook, Xu Yawen once again thought about that eatery, as if the hot, spicy smell of meat had already entered his nose.

And what was unusual today was that Jiang Xiaomei actually agreed to accompany him.

However, Jiang Xiaomei still maintained her usual attitude and said: “I’ll go with you, I won’t eat.”

Because of the meat inspection, Jiang Xiaomei had basically eliminated the ill feelings in her heart, and was no longer that disgusted with the barbecue shop.

Therefore, Xu Yawen pulled Jiang Xiaomei along and excitedly went to the eatery.

Tonight, the barbeque shop’s business was very quiet, with not many tables full of customers. Xu Yawen looked at the time, it was not even eight o’clock.

Furthermore, the shop assistant, Xiao Dong, was still in the shop, but the owner was not there.

Xiao Dong instantly recognized Xu Yawen and Jiang Xiaomei and couldn’t help but sneer, while casually pointing at an empty seat. Jiang Xiaomei was the most sensitive to these kinds of things, upon seeing Xiao Dong’s attitude, about to flare up, Xu Yawen quickly stopped him.

“Why do you think he is so virtuous? “Therefore, this kind of person is only fit to work hard. He deserves to be scolded!”

Seeing that Jiang Xiaomei was angry again, Xu Yawen also felt tired. Actually, he had only come here today to eat kebabs, so she didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

“You’re asking me to apologize? Why apologize to such a person?” Jiang Xiaomei finally lowered her voice.

“Fine, we won’t apologize. Let’s not talk about him anymore, okay?” Xu Yawen was already impatient.

After calming down, Xu Yawen waved at Xiao Dong and ordered some kebabs.

Very quickly, all the skewers had been served. Xu Yawen continued to eat, while Jiang Xiaomei glanced at him frequently, as if a lump of anger was still burning in his heart.

At this moment, there were fewer and fewer customers in the eatery. The two chefs in charge of the barbeque had already finished their work. Xiao Dong sat at the cashier’s counter and counted. As he counted, he looked at Xu Yawen and smiled.

“Did you take the test for the meat last time?”

Hearing Xiao Dong’s direct question, Xu Yawen appeared to be slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly replied, “No … “If it doesn’t, then my wife will just be joking with you. Don’t take it to heart, brother!”

Jiang Xiaomei did not speak, and imitated Xiao Dong’s sneer from the beginning.

“Oh.” Xiao Dong nodded and continued to count the money.

Xu Yawen wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he intentionally changed the topic and asked Xiao Dong: “Hey, brother, how many people are currently ordering the roast lamb? I remember that’s the shop’s signboard, why haven’t I seen anyone eat it? ”

“The roast lamb is gone.”

“Gone?”

“Yes, it’s not easy to get the entire lamb now, especially with the boss not around recently. I’m the only one in the restaurant, and the two chefs just go straight into the kitchen every day. I don’t care about anything else.” Xiao Dong laughed bitterly again.

“That’s true.” Xu Yawen thought: This Xiao Dong is indeed hardworking. Not only is the labour force being squeezed by the boss, he is also often scolded by the boss and the customers. No wonder he only had a bitter smile on his face all day, he doesn’t even have a good smile.

After a while, Xu Yawen had almost finished eating and was preparing to tell Xiao Dong to pay the bill, but he realized that Xiao Dong was no longer at the cashier. Just as he was thinking about where Xiao Dong had gone to, Xiao Dong suddenly came in from the back door with a plate of meat in hand.

At this time, only Xu Yawen and Jiang Xiaomei were left at the table of customers. Xiao Dong’s meat was naturally for them.

“I don’t seem to have ordered this meat.” Xu Yawen said.

“This is what I’m treating you to. It’s the freshly roasted streaky pork. That pig was just butchered today and the taste is the best. “You guys can try it. If you don’t want money, you can come visit more in the future.” With that, Xiao Dong brought the plate in front of Xu Yawen and Jiang Xiaomei.

“Oh, so there are benefits!” Xu Yawen laughed and picked up the chopsticks to eat one piece.

Jiang Xiaomei looked at the streaky pork meat and thought: If it’s really the meat I just sliced off the pig’s body, then I can taste it.

She had been waiting for Xu Yawen until now, and she was indeed a little hungry.

Then, just like Xu Yawen, she picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

After eating a few pieces, Jiang Xiaomei felt that the Wu Hua meat was indeed different from the others. It was soft and tender, fat but not greasy.

Jiang Xiaomei simply let go of the topic and finished the entire plate of meat.

“The taste isn’t bad, right?” Xiao Dong intentionally looked at Jiang Xiaomei.

“Mm, not bad.” Jiang Xiaomei wiped her mouth and said perfunctorily.

After that, Xu Yawen paid the bill and left the eatery with Jiang Xiaomei.

Xu Yawen rubbed his stomach, appearing to be satisfied, he said to Jiang Xiaomei: “This piece of pork meat later on is really not bad, next time I should be a bit late, maybe I can still eat it.”

Jiang Xiaomei acknowledged, and did not say much.

The two of them strolled along the street, preparing to return home. But just as they walked a few steps, they heard someone call out from behind them, “Xu Yawen?”

Xu Yawen turned his head to see a man wearing glasses. Beside him was a woman, who looked to be a couple.

After looking for a long time, Xu Yawen finally remembered as he shouted: “Guo Peng?”

So this man called Guo Peng was Xu Yawen’s high school friend, and it had been more than ten years since they last met.

The two chatted happily for a while before Guo Peng finally asked, “You live here?”

“Right, you guys too?”

“Alright then, I’ll often do it in the future.” How about this, you go to our house tonight and stay nearby, we haven’t seen each other in many years, how about we get a few bottles of wine later and chat? ”

Xu Yawen thought that since he had nothing to do at night, it was fine, so he went to Guo Peng’s home with Jiang Xiaomei.

When he arrived at Guo Peng’s house, Guo Peng was quite cordial as he opened two bottles of red wine. Xu Yawen also knew that Guo Peng liked to drink wine, and since he could take a few drinks himself, the two of them started drinking to his heart’s content. Jiang Xiaomei, on the other hand, was chatting with Guo Peng’s wife on the side.

Unknowingly, it was already eleven o’clock. Xu Yawen and his wife prepared to leave, but Guo Peng politely escorted them downstairs, saying that he would come to Xu Yawen’s house to drink next time.

After leaving Guo Peng’s district, just as the two were about to turn a corner and return home through Barbecue Street, they suddenly saw a light burning behind the restaurant that sold barbeque meat. Moreover, it was still smoking.

“Eh? Is that store still doing business? ”

Then, Xu Yawen took a closer look and realised that all the lights in the barbecue shop had been turned off, and it should not be open for business. But it was already so late, what was that shop still doing, what was with the cigarettes?

“Will there be a fire?” Jiang Xiaomei asked.

“Let’s go take a look.” Xu Yawen drank quite a lot and was very excited, so he was very excited.

After a few steps, they came to a dark courtyard with a barbecue shop at one end and a connected kitchen at the other. At the other end was a small, lighted, smoking house about a dozen paces apart.

Xu Yawen looked around and determined that the small house was a spare room to store some junk. The smoke was coming from the half-open window.

Xu Yawen came to the door and used his hands to lightly push on it. He realized that the door was closed, and then turned the handle, and the door actually opened in one go.

“Is anyone there?” Xu Yawen asked as he walked in. Jiang Xiaomei followed behind him but saw that the room was filled with thick smoke. They could barely keep their eyes open.

In the midst of the smoke, they finally noticed a person sitting on the ground, fanning something with a large fan.

That person was Xiao Dong.

Just as Xu Yawen was about to ask, Jiang Xiaomei suddenly exclaimed.

Because the door had been opened, and the thick smoke had been dispersed, Xu Yawen could clearly see that in front of Xiao Dong, a large fire was burning. And above the fire, there was a fat corpse that was connected to a special iron rack that was placed on top of the fire.

The two legs of the corpse were arranged in an “X” shape. The two iron rods first pierced through the junction of the legs, then stabbed into the left and right sides of the anus, and finally pierced through the neck of the corpse. That was how a fat body could rise into the air and be roasted over a fire.

The way the corpses were roasted was almost the same as the skewers, but bigger and fatter.

Seeing that, Xu Yawen threw up on the spot and threw up all the beer in his stomach onto the ground. Jiang Xiaomei was so scared that she leaned against the wall, her face pale white.

Xu Ya and Jiang Xiaomei both recognized the corpse in front of them. It was the owner of the eatery whom they hadn’t seen for a long time. They never would have thought that Xiao Dong would be so venomous. Not only did he kill the boss who often cursed at him, he even took off all of the boss’s corpse and barbequed it on the fire, using the cruelest way to humiliate the corpse.

In addition, they discovered that a large chunk of fat had been cut off from the fat belly of the corpse.

At the same time, Xu Yawen and Jiang Xiaomei remembered that Xiao Dong had given them some fresh pork last night. He also mentioned that the pig had been butchered today, so the meat was still fresh.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt as if their stomachs had turned upside down, causing them to feel a wave of pain.

Human flesh! Fresh human meat!

The two of them were about to go crazy.

In order to vent his hatred, Xiao Dong had tied up the shop owner and tortured him in every possible way. He even took charge of the eatery, preventing the chef in the shop from approaching the house. One day, he was insulted in front of everyone by Jiang Xiaomei, and even said that the shop was selling human flesh, so he secretly held a grudge and thought about how to take revenge. Xu Yawen and Jiang Xiaomei came to the store again. When they saw Jiang Xiaomei, their hearts were filled with anger, which made him suddenly think of this abnormal method. Therefore, he first killed the boss, then used two iron rods to string together and barbeque on the charcoal. After that, she cut off a piece of meat from Jiang Xiaomei’s abdomen, letting him taste the real human meat. He was even hysterical, thinking of sending the rest of the body over the next few days to customers who had previously cursed him.

At this time, Xiao Dong was still sitting on the ground, his eyes were dark, facing Xu Yawen and his wife with an indifferent expression.

His hand was trying to turn the iron rod as hard as a kebab.

In the midst of the gazes, Xiao Dong asked Xu Yawen and his wife:

“The roast lamb is gone, but the whole person has finally eaten it, right?”

After saying this sentence, Xiao Dong finally smiled, truly laughing.

Oh no!
