Lin Ke looked at Butcher Zhang with helplessness on his face.
How embarrassing!
How can I say this...
At this time, Lin Ke felt like he had been tricked by shopkeeper Tong.
Why do you say you were fooled?
Because he estimated that even if he took the credit, the stingy shopkeeper Tong would probably not pay it back for a while.
Anyway, it’s not shopkeeper Tong who gives it on credit!
"Damn it..."
How much meat should I borrow on credit?
Shopkeeper Tong definitely doesn't want to buy meat for himself to eat for himself.
Based on his personality, if eating meat costs money, he would probably rather go hungry than eat meat.
So asking Lin Ke to buy meat on credit must be for those three Mr. Yang.
Then how much credit Lin Ke can borrow is a question.
It's really a penny that can stump a heroic man.
Lin Ke suddenly didn't want to compete anymore. He might as well start an industrial revolution and become a capitalist for fun.
At this time, seeing Lin Ke's hesitant expression, Zhang Butcher looked at him and smiled heartily: "Haha, what's going on, brother Lin Jun?"
Hearing this, Lin Ke raised his head and smiled: "It's okay, Brother Zhang, I'm young, just call me Lin Ke or Xiao Lin."
Butcher Zhang walked to the meat case, lifted up a small piece of meat, grinned his bearded mouth, and asked with a smile: "Haha! Then I'll call you little brother. How much meat do you need? This piece of meat."
Okay? It’s just enough for one or two people.”
"Snapped!"
Butcher Zhang threw the meat in front of Lin Ke.
The piece of meat is not very big, but it is relatively thin. It is the hind leg meat.
Lin Ke made a judgment and said: "These are a bit short. I came here to help our shopkeeper Tong. I want to use them to entertain diners and get a bigger piece of meat."
Lin Ke told the truth, hoping that Butcher Zhang could trust him.
If you don't trust him, then he will probably invest.
The problem is that he doesn't have much money on him.
Butcher Zhang was stunned and asked Lin Ke: "Are you talking about shopkeeper Tong from the Tongfu Restaurant at the street corner asking for meat?"
Lin Ke nodded.
"What's your relationship with Shopkeeper Tong? Why are you here to get the meat?" Butcher Zhang seemed a little confused and asked: "Aren't you the young master who dances in the music bar?"
Lin Ke:(_)?
What a god!
Lin Ke went to dance with the matchmaker that day, and Butcher Zhang was also one of the people watching.
Lin Ke was helpless: "I'm working as a busboy in shopkeeper Tong's restaurant. Three customers came just now. Bai Zhantang is busy. The shopkeeper asked me to come and get it."
Butcher Zhang didn't doubt him and believed Lin Ke directly: "Oh oh oh, it's that meat!"
Butcher Zhang didn't doubt Lin Ke's words: "You look after the butcher shop for me, and I'll get the meat!"
Lin Ke asked cautiously: "Okay, then will this be recorded directly on the shopkeeper's head?"
Butcher Zhang walked towards the yard without looking back: "That's right, little brother, please wait a moment."
Lin Ke guessed that there was a cellar in the yard because they needed to preserve the meat either by smoking it or by refrigeration.
With current technology, refrigeration in the cellar is most appropriate.
However, after waiting for a while, Butcher Zhang still did not come out.
"Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang!"
Lin Ke called twice, but Butcher Zhang didn't answer.
The sun was setting, but Lin Ke could only wait.
About a quarter of an hour later, shopkeeper Tong on the street was already standing in front of the restaurant door, looking this way.
He also made a mouth gesture of "Hurry up". At the same time, his left hand turned into a little man with his index and middle fingers, his right hand turned into an arch, and then the little hand of his left hand moved towards the arch.
After this gesture, the shopkeeper pointed to Lin Ke and then to the yard behind Butcher Zhang's butcher shop.
"You...let me...in?"
Lin Ke made a gesture and pointed to the yard in front.
Shopkeeper Tong nodded vigorously.
Lin Ke shook his head vigorously.
Shopkeeper Tong's eyes widened, then he waved his sleeves and entered the restaurant.
Lin Ke looked back at the yard behind the butcher shop and the cellar in the yard, and swallowed.
It seems that the only option is to break into private houses.
I hope a white man doesn't jump out of there to empty the magazine.
Lin Ke tried his best to appear natural, whistling, walked into the yard, and came to the entrance of the cellar.
Butcher Zhang also carefully built steps around the cellar entrance.
The yard is not messy, but it is not neat either. It is overgrown with weeds. There are only two trampled paths, one long and one short, without any weeds growing.
The long one goes directly from the house door to the butcher shop outside.
The other one goes from the butcher shop to the cellar entrance.
Looking down from the cellar.
Because it was evening and the moon was not shining yet, he could only see within two meters of the cellar. But when Lin Ke looked down, he could only see darkness at the bottom.
After hesitating, he still didn't take a step forward, but just as Lin Ke was about to turn around and return to the street.
"Bang bang. bang."
There were sounds after sounds in the cellar, as if he was chopping firewood, but it didn't seem like he was doing it.
At the same time, there was the sound of the door of the courtyard room opening.
"Creak——"
He stopped and turned around to look.
A graceful woman in white clothes was standing in front of the house not far away, her face was pale, her eyes were crooked as if she were smiling, and she was looking this way while smiling.
This is... Lin Ke was stunned.
While Lin Ke was in a daze, the woman came to Lin Ke without knowing when or how, and asked in a warm voice: "Who is this little brother?"
What a fast speed!
Lin Ke came back to his senses and said, "Hello, are you sister-in-law? I'm here to see Brother Zhang. He has been coming in to get meat for a long time. I came in to see what's going on!"
"Sister-in-law?" When the woman heard the word "sister-in-law," the smile in her eyes grew stronger: "Giggle, he is down there, go find him!"
With the faint moonlight in the evening and the scarlet afterglow of the setting sun, the white teeth exposed when the woman grinned seemed to have a little rouge, and her smile was strange.
Lin Ke's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Go down, little brother~" the woman said, her voice gentle and graceful.
As the woman spoke, bursts of yin energy seemed to emerge around Lin Ke as the setting sun disappeared, coupled with the cold wind and the smell of blood coming from the dark cellar...
Why... why is it a little cold...
Lin Ke froze, then stiffened his body, turned around and walked down the cellar steps.
"Bang bang!"
At this time, the sound that can be heard is very clear!
The sound of chopping meat!
Lin Ke walked down step by step. The steps he stepped on were very wide, but as he walked down, it felt like he was heading into an abyss.
At least there is still the warmth and heat left after the sun disappears outside, but here there is only the coldness and the rusty smell of blood.
No matter how deep the cellar is, it won't take long. Not long after walking, Lin Ke felt as if he was standing on a flat ground because his feet moved forward and left and right, but did not find any empty space.
"Bang bang."
There were bursts of sounds in front of Lin Ke. Looking for the sounds, he looked over and found some faint light in front of him.
"call"
At this time, the sound of rapid knives chopping bones, the sound of Butcher Zhang's heavy breathing, and the silver bell-like laughter behind him came, accompanied by a faint smell of rotten meat.
Lin Ke stiffened his body and did not dare to move rashly. Behind him was only the laughter of the woman in white: "Brother, go, keep walking~"
Lin Ke immediately raised his feet and walked forward.
The cellar was certainly not very big. After walking a few steps, he saw Butcher Zhang squatting on the ground, raising the knife in his hand high, and then slashed down hard!
"Crack!"
The sound came, and a leg flew toward the ceiling, accompanied by a burst of blood, broken flesh, and broken bones.
This leg...
The knees are bent forward, the calf and thigh muscles are obvious, there are some fine hairs on them, and...
The soles of human feet?!
Lin Ke's pupils suddenly shrank, his mouth widened and he subconsciously wanted to shout, but suppressed himself not to make any sound.
monster!
Ghost!
Peerless monsters and peerless ghosts!
Not far away is Li Chungang who is a great Confucian. Not far away from Li Chungang is the more powerful Qi Shangshu. Not far from Qi Shangshu is the imperial palace and the Holy Emperor who suppresses the world.
Rounding things off, there are actually such man-eating monsters and female-like ghosts hidden near the Holy Emperor's collapse?!
How terrifying that is!
"Brother, why are you here? Here, hey, here. It's so dirty!"
Butcher Zhang's face was covered with blood, and he grinned at Lin Ke!
The dim lights, the ghost-like laughter behind him, Butcher Zhang’s grin almost reaching his ears, the flying human legs, the smell of blood and rotten meat...
Lin Ke's heart felt like falling into an ice cave.
