The rest of the lunch didn't taste good either.
I took out my empty wallet,threw some change to the boss,and then,filled with confusion,I just wanted to go and take a look at District C as soon as possible.
"I should be around that area.Thank you,Boss,for the reminder.I have something urgent to attend to,so I'll be leaving now."
I quickly responded and rushed out of the shop,heading straight for District C.
"Hey,hey,young man..."
Hearing the boss calling out behind me,but I didn't have the heart to care.I just wanted to see the sealed-off District C more quickly.
As I was striding out of the alley entrance,I glanced at the Earth God statue out of the corner of my eye.
The three sticks of incense I had placed on the incense ashes had all extinguished unexpectedly.
Looking at the length of the three sticks of incense,cold sweat immediately broke out on my back.
The two on the sides were long,and the one in the middle was short!!
It's an ominous omen!
The hell banknote,the sealed district,the extinguished incense...
With this kind of omen added,I couldn't help but become superstitious.Remembering the scenes from last night,my hand unconsciously tightened around the Bodhisattva jade pendant on my chest.
A sense of coolness came from my hand,and I calmed down a bit.
I don't believe it.Could my first food delivery be this strange?!!
I was both shocked and angry in my heart.I took big steps out of the alley entrance and headed straight for District C.
District C was very close to the rented room in the old urban area where I lived.Even if I walked,I could reach it in a short time.
For some reason,even though I hurried over,apart from breaking out in a cold sweat,I didn't feel any heat at all.
The old buildings in District C stood tall and solid,like thick coffins.Even the scorching sun in the afternoon could hardly shine through.
Perhaps because of the intense sunlight in the afternoon,I couldn't see anyone walking on the street.
Could it really be sealed off?
The doubts in my heart gradually became a reality,and my heart started beating even faster.
Just when I was standing outside District C,not knowing what to do,a figure suddenly rekindled my hope.
It was a middle-aged man wearing something like an old military uniform.He had a well-proportioned figure,wore a pair of black-framed glasses,and was carrying a black plastic bag in his hand.
Even in such a hot summer,the middle-aged man still dressed so formally.He looked like a veteran cadre who was about to retire.
District C was also an old urban area,so it wasn't strange to see such a person living here.The man was also about to walk deeper into District C.
At this moment,I didn't care so much.Since there was someone to accompany me,it wouldn't be a bad idea to go in together on the way.
There were clearly people living here!
I thought the boss was lying to me and almost scared myself to death.I quickly strode after the middle-aged man who was walking in.
Just when I passed by the middle-aged man,he looked at me in surprise and then grabbed my sleeve.
"Young man,in broad daylight,what do you mean by coming here empty-handed?"
