My brother nodded, unconsciously crept to the front of the "Lao Wang snack bar" next to the wonton stall, looked through the closed and locked glass door, and crept for a long time before coming back.
My sister asked, "What happened?"
My brother stared at me and nodded, while my sister took a gasp of satisfaction.
"Lao Wang snack bar" is a new topic for the two. The brand-new signboard outside the store and the neat tables and chairs in the room all look like the boss is about to open the door to welcome guests. However, since the younger brother and sister had an impression, this small shop has never opened for dinner, breakfast or supper.
Recently, a new discovery by my sister made this mysterious little shop suddenly mysterious.
Sister quietly pulled her brother to the door of the snack bar and said, "Look, there are two big bowls and a small plate in the middle of this table at the door?"
"Two bowls of old noodles and a plate of beef pot stickers." The younger brother said calmly.
"Just know to eat. Look again, are there two big plates and two small bowls facing each other on the back table? "
"Two dishes of mixed rice, one dish of pork liver skin belly and one dish of pork liver skin belly." I continue to reason.
My sister said, "Don't worry about daydreaming. Look, what are these plates like? "
The younger brother said, "I told you, noodles with old noodles, fried pot stickers, and pork liver with a belt belly."
My sister's eyes suddenly became fierce, and my brother suddenly reacted: "The appearance of this store ... is like the end of the meal, and the guests have just finished eating."
My sister nodded proudly and said, "It's far more than that. I'm telling you, I've been watching for a long time. The plates and chopsticks on different tables will become different every day. "
My brother frowned, as if he were quietly digesting.
My sister said, "Like this small restaurant that never opens, in fact, many people eat different meals every day."
My brother came back from Lao Wang's snack bar, nodded to his sister and told her that the chopsticks on the table had changed again today.
After he sat down, he calmly added three spoonfuls of spicy oil to himself and gave it to his sister. Then drink wonton and express your opinion: "This is a secret base."
"Tableware is changing every day, indicating that the store has activities every day and may even be occupied. The use of large bowls, small bowls, plates and casseroles is regular and rich. It can be guessed that the food is very good every day, so it should not be a gathering place for homeless people. All the tableware is not broken, and it is definitely not stone. So I guess this is a secret base of an underground organization. Every day, I find time to avoid people's eyes and ears, have a meeting while eating, and discuss revolutionary events. "
My sister's expression became less and less interested, and finally she was disdainful. The younger brother gradually lost confidence and said dully, "Then how do you explain such a strange phenomenon?"
My sister swallowed the wonton skin, spit out the meat in her mouth and piled it evenly on the table. She said: "paranormal phenomenon is paranormal phenomenon, why must we explain it?"
"You mean, that store has ..."
"I mean, that shop is full of people now, eating dinner like us. Only we can't see them. "
The younger brother shook his head and said with a smile, "You are talking nonsense again. How did Ma Zhe teach you? "
Sister pushed the soup bowl forward, put a cap on her brother, got up and said, "Then let's sneak in tonight and see if there are any secret bases and revolutionary meetings you mentioned. Do you dare? "
The younger brother took off his hat and put it on his sister's head again, saying, "Who dares to be bald?"
In the dead of night, there are puppy love men and women and neurotic brothers and sisters walking in the street.
"Lao Wang snack bar" is dark in the middle of the night and has no breath of living people. The younger brother standing at the door lost his momentum.
Sister picked up a wire and prepared to pick the lock. She skillfully played with flowers, quietly observed the scenery on the other side of the glass door and put the wire into the keyhole.
Still familiar with the long wooden table and several plastic benches, the clock by the door points to two in the morning, and the corner is filled with commodities such as garlic and ginger. To be sure, there is no one in the outhouse. There is also a back room in the deepest part of the snack bar, which should be a kitchen and a habitable room, but this angle looks like a black hole, and there seems to be something in it, but even the shape can't be recognized. My sister took a deep breath, but the lock on her hand still clung to the wire and could not be loosened. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, and she bit her lip to stop herself from screaming. She turned around and stared at her brother behind her.
The younger brother pointed to the wall and said, "Turn it over."
Pushed against the wall by her brother, my sister forgot her fear and flashed into the room of the snack bar with a red face.
When my brother groped his way in, he felt that the layout of the room was much more cramped than that from the glass door. I wiped it casually, and there was no dust on the table, chair and chopsticks. My sister stood outside the glass door, staring at the price list of the snack bar on the wall.
"Signature Superman fried noodles, as long as 13 yuan ... Yo-ho, I don't know what ingredients I put in it before I dare to call it Superman." The younger brother walked behind his sister and read it out gently. "Brand ordinary fried rice, as long as 15 yuan ... ordinary is more expensive than superman, this fried rice must return to nature and has entered the realm. I really want to try ... is it my sister ... my sister? Sister? "
My sister reached out a hand, gently covered his mouth, then retreated to his side, put her lips close to his left ear and said in an angry voice, "Don't move."
Seeing my brother's puzzled eyes, my sister added, "I feel as if someone is watching me."
Not to mention people, there are obviously no creatures here. Although there are some gods and gods at ordinary times, it is not the style of a bold girl to make a mountain out of a molehill. My brother was so cold that his chest began to sweat again.
"You say, in case there is a time difference between this world and ours, and now it's their meal, what will it be like here?"
"Fan Dian ... should be people. Where we are standing, there are still many people waiting in line to order? " After that, my brother swallowed as quietly as possible.
"Well, then we suddenly jumped over the wall and went to the middle of the line. What will happen to them? "
"They ... they will all stop and look at us together?"
There was a sudden gust of wind in the narrow room, as if someone strode by.
"Run!" My sister grabbed my brother by the collar and rushed out, stepping on his shoulder and climbing up the wall. Then she picked up her brother with her backhand, and both of them jumped quickly.
My brother and sister ran hand in hand in the street in the middle of the night, until they were soaked with sweat and panting, and then they gradually recovered and looked at the stunned wild mandarin duck and giggled.
The younger brother asked, "Sister, are you kidding?"
My sister smiled and shook her head and said, "I don't know. Maybe I'm too nervous. When I stood staring at the menu, I suddenly felt something. It seems that everything is wrong, and only the inspiration at that moment is right. But I can't tell what inspiration is, like a look, a memory, or a truth. "
The younger brother hugged his sister comfortingly and said to her, "Don't talk to others like that, you will never get married."
My brother was standing in the middle of the road when a speeding bus came towards him. His face was full of doubts, but he hesitated whether to move his legs.
My sister threw him on the green belt and she turned over. The bus roared by, and the driver didn't even look back.
I was about to scold my brother, only to find that his pupils were bloodshot. My sister frowned and asked, "Still like that?"
The younger brother nodded and said, "It's still the same."
It seems that after breaking into the snack bar at night, the two brothers and sisters found that strange things began to appear on them. Compared with my withdrawn sister, my brother has changed more obviously.
My brother, who used to love talking, was never named to answer questions in class.
The little girl who used to be very enthusiastic about her brother has also become increasingly cold. I just made an appointment and was stood up in the blink of an eye.
Even when people get together to play cards, the dealer lets him out.
A few days later, my brother began to feel that he had lost something extremely important, and a strong sense of loneliness came to mind.
He stood on the road to see if there was still himself in the world.
The speeding bus destroyed his hope and finally cried in his sister's arms.
My sister's eyes turned red and suddenly became sharp. She picked up her brother and strode to the closed glass door of Lao Wang's snack bar.
"Is anyone there? Come out for me! " My sister's fist slammed on the glass door, making a "bang" sound.
"I don't care if you are a person or a ghost? Now get out! " My sister lifted Xiao Mu's bench at her feet and slammed it on the glass door, making a more harsh sound.
"I was the one who wanted to go in that night. What did you bring me! It's none of my brother's business, stay away from him! "
"Listen, stay away from him, or I'll burn you clean with a torch!"
Passers-by, customers who eat wonton not far away don't seem to notice here, and there is no other sound in their ears. Only my sister is cursing the empty snack bar desperately.
My brother's eyes looked through the door and saw something in the air on the other side of the glass, which seemed to have a vague shape.
I can't tell the shape, but it contains intense emotions, which suddenly changes the expression on my brother's face and the main contradiction in my heart.
He suddenly understood his sister's words at the moment, and he felt a look straight at him. He felt that he should be afraid, but his body seemed unable to be afraid. Instead, it seems to be caught in a great bitterness, as if there is a flame burning on my back.
"Elder sister, let's go. It's our fault to disturb others. Let's go and never come here again. " The younger brother took his sister's hand and firmly pulled her away.
Sister must be immersed in the same inexplicable, unknown and powerful eyes, right? She struggled in her arms and let out a piercing scream, as if to bid farewell to this strange nightmare.
"ah!" The man suddenly sat up, and his pajamas were wet. He lowered his head and gasped loudly.
The woman around me also sat up slowly, stroking the man's sweaty back, chest and forehead. She asked, "Did you dream again?"
The man nodded with empty eyes.
"Dreaming of Superman and Ordinary again?"
The man nodded empty again.
That's a pair of twin children that husband and wife once had. During the summer vacation two years ago, because the snack bar was busy, I didn't accompany my brother and sister to play abroad. Unexpectedly, a traffic accident in a foreign country separated parents, siblings forever.
The wife asked, "What did you dream about this time? Are they ... are they okay? "
The husband said, "This time, I dreamed that they finally went home."
The room was quiet, as if the air had been pumped out.
The husband turned his face and said with a straight face, "I dreamed that they finally found their way home." They went back to this street and stood outside the snack bar. My brother is still so quiet, and my sister is still so impulsive. They are banging on the door outside as if they want to come in. "
The wife held her husband's hand and tears fell quietly.
The husband said, "and I'm standing at the door of the snack bar." I looked at my brothers and sisters and extended my legs to them. Then I slammed the door inside, desperately trying to get out. "
It's past midnight, and the door of Lao Wang snack bar is closed at the moment, and there is no sound inside and outside.
The wife's thumb gripped her husband's jaw tightly, while the man kept his waking posture, and his muscles were as tight as steel. He tried his best to take a breath, as if he had never let it go, so he didn't have to say goodbye to this happy nightmare.
