Chapter 204 Black Shop

"Okay!" The shopkeeper nodded and called out to the curtain, "Old woman, two bowls of noodles, one bowl of gravy, and one bowl of clear soup, for two guests!"

The curtain was not completely covered, and Lin Xuxi could see a pair of slightly large black shoes walking past.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Xuxi seemed to feel that it was not enough and asked, "Is there anything hot, meat or something like that?" After saying that, she looked at Shen Yichen again.

Obviously, the meat was meant for him to eat.

The shopkeeper replied, "Yes, we have our secret braised pork!"

"No, no need!" Shen Yichen waved his hands and said, "I don't need it." He looked at his benefactor with emotion, and he never thought that his benefactor still wanted to give him meat.

"I seldom eat meat. You are still growing, so you should eat some meat." Lin Xuxi did not hide her concern, but said it directly.

Shen Yichen's eyes were red and he nodded slightly in gratitude.

"It's been a long time since anyone cared about me, benefactor." After saying that, he pulled up his sleeve to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, feeling that it was great that he could meet his benefactor.

"It's just a few pieces of meat." Lin Xuxi handed over a handkerchief. It was embroidered with red lotus flowers and had a scent, so you could tell it was hers.

Shen Yichen took the handkerchief, but he still couldn't bear to wipe his tears with it. This was his benefactor's thing, how could he bear to dirty it?

But he did not return the handkerchief to his benefactor, but kept it for himself.

Lin Xuxi found out, but didn't care. If anyone wanted the thing, just give it to them. It wouldn't be a big deal.

Soon, noodles were served from the kitchen, along with a plate of braised pork. Both were steaming hot. Eating a bowl of hot noodles in this twelfth lunar month was truly a comfort.

"Here are your noodles, gentlemen." The shopkeeper brought the noodles over with a smile. He then placed the bowl of braised meat in front of the young man and said with a smile, "This meat is delicious. Please try it."

"Thank you." Lin Xuxi nodded.

Shen Yichen didn't think much about it, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat with relish.

"Eat more." Lin Xuxi used the chopsticks she hadn't used to eat to pick up a few pieces of meat and put them in Shen Yichen's bowl. She said gently, "If it's not enough, you can have another bowl."

"Enough, enough, this noodles is really delicious." Shen Yichen almost buried his head in the bowl while eating. It was the coldest time of the year and it was rare for him to have something warm in his stomach.

Lin Xuxi also lowered her head and began to eat with chopsticks. She ate very elegantly.

The shopkeeper was also very pleased and nodded, saying, "That's good." Then he went to wipe the table.

It looked busy, but there were only two people in the shop.

After eating the noodles, it was getting dark outside. It gets dark so easily in winter, and in the blink of an eye, the oil lamps were lit again.

"Sir, there are only three rooms upstairs. I have just cleaned out two of them. You can rest first. If you need tea or hot water, just pull the bell in the room. We can hear it in the backyard." The shopkeeper said as he walked in front, holding a kerosene lamp in his right hand.

Perhaps the place in here was not so windproof, and the kerosene lamp was occasionally blown around, so the shopkeeper had to block the wind with his hands and walk up carefully.

The creaking of the wooden stairs and the howling of the cold wind outside sounded terrifying.

"My benefactor, luckily we have a place to stay, otherwise the wind outside would be so strong that it would blow us into pieces." Shen Yichen sighed.

The wind outside sounds really scary.

"Yeah." Lin Xuxi nodded.

The shopkeeper led the two men to the innermost room, where two rooms faced each other.

"It's here." The shopkeeper pushed open the door and explained, "Although it's not luxurious inside, it's clean. I've cleaned it carefully." He led the two people in.

It was indeed clean inside but also very simple, with just a set of tables and chairs and a bed. The window, perhaps because it was leaking air, had two wooden boards nailed to it, and there was a pull cord on the wall near the bed.

"Please come in." After the shopkeeper settled the female guest, he turned around and invited the male guest to the room opposite.

After they both went in, he stepped out and blew out the oil lamp in his hand, then walked down the corridor with ease, not needing any light to help him.

Soon, the shopkeeper brought up some hot tea and watched the two of them drink it before leaving.

The tea tasted bitter and was not a good tea. Although Lin Xuxi was not used to it, she still took a sip in front of the shopkeeper so that he could see it.

After they left, she sat on a chair, took out the tea set from her bracelet, made herself some tea, and waited to see what the two men were going to do.

In the middle of the night, there was no other sound except the howling of the wind.

"How's it going? Have you all finished your tea?"

"Drink it all, drink it all." The shopkeeper, who had been so affable in the morning, now had a face full of flesh. His smile was sinister and cruel, a completely different person from the daytime self.

He held the knife in his hand, looked at the knife flashing with cold light and sneered: "Leave that woman to me, she is so beautiful and a real good thing." Thinking of that face and that figure, he sucked his saliva.

She is so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life.

The small room in the backyard was packed with four or five big men, all eager to try, but waiting for the boss's order.

"We'll be together then."

Speaking of this, the whole little room was filled with lewd laughter.

It was not until after three o'clock in the morning that they came out in the dark with knives in hand.

They had done this countless times, and even without turning on the lights, they could reach the two rooms in the corner of the second floor.

Each of the five men held a knife and had a rope tied behind his waist.

Two people on the left and two people on the right, and the big man is in the middle. He signaled them to go in at the same time with his eyes. They already had a tacit understanding and naturally knew what to do next.

Lin Xuxi sat drinking tea, not caring about the noise outside. She knew this place was a black spot the moment she arrived. It looked clean on the surface, but it was actually filled with the smell of blood.

She saw it but still decided to stay here, just to do a good thing.

The door on the left was pushed open with a slight creaking sound that was covered by the wind and did not attract the attention of the people inside the house. Then a foot stepped in.

Lin Xuxi also remembered that foot; she had seen it in the kitchen.

Two people sneaked in one after the other and did not act immediately, but waited at the door. After a quarter of an hour without hearing any sound, they slowly approached.

"I'll do it!" One of the men took the first step.

"Go away, I'll do it!" The leader pushed away the person who wanted to go up first from behind and said in a low voice: "I'll play first, and then I'll give it to you!"

No matter how unhappy the person who was pushed away was, there was nothing they could say. They could only lower their heads and follow the man.

But the strange thing was that Lin Xuxi was sitting right opposite them drinking tea openly, and those people acted as if they didn't see anything and went straight to the bed.

"Come on, come on, here." There was a knockout drug in the hot tea, and the leader reached over anxiously.
