Sui Han discovered that this seemingly unremarkable barbecue skewer shop had been in the big news.
The boy swiped the screen thoughtfully.
It turned out that the most popular barbecue skewer shop in Shanhai City used to be called “Jiu Yi”. Many years ago, this shop had branches all over Shanhai City. Every night, there was almost no branch that didn’t require a long wait.
Until recent years, live streaming has made many streamers popular, and food exploration streamers have continued to emerge.
Jiu Yi relied on its reputation and didn’t bother to spend money to find food exploration streamers to promote it. At the same time, other barbecue skewer shops were constantly finding streamers to promote themselves in various ways, and their reputation gradually grew.
One year ago, many shops participated in the food competition, and the fat uncle was one of them. He was also the winner of that year.
The boss of Jiu Yi didn’t participate in the competition. Because he didn’t lack diners, rumors of his bad attitude spread occasionally, driving away customers.
The fat uncle diligently opened his shop, checking the meat quality and ingredients.
In addition, he was the winner of that year’s food competition and was trending on social media. Major public accounts helped promote him in droves, and his reputation quickly surpassed Jiu Yi.
Jiu Yi didn’t repent and continued not to cherish its diners. Eventually, the shops closed one by one and gradually disappeared completely from Shanhai City.
The little zombie couldn’t understand any of this. He was burying his head in eating his favorite grilled banana.
Before long, he was so full that he started to hiccup.
The little guy touched his round belly, sat down with his legs crossed, wriggled and rubbed against Sui Han’s hand, raised his arms behind his head, and stared at the moon in the sky in a daze.
The boy ate a few more skewers. His appetite didn’t seem very big, so he stared into space with the little zombie.
Several tables of customers finished eating, thanked the boss, and left. Food that they didn’t have to pay for was delicious. The fat uncle didn’t mind and happily saw them off.
Turning back to look at Sui Han, he saw the boy staring at the night sky from afar. He couldn’t help but smile, wiped his hands, and went back inside to get busy.
He had developed some goodwill towards this boy he had never met before, after all, the other party had just helped him.
After marinating the meat, the red-haired man changed out of his work clothes, said hello to the fat uncle, and prepared to get off work.
Seeing this, Sui Han also got up to pay the bill. The fat uncle refused to take his money, no matter what. Sui Han thought to himself that this uncle is actually a good person.
Without anything to lean on, the little zombie lay down, half-closing his eyes and starting to doze off, until Sui Han picked up one of his legs, and he “hehe” twice and reached out to grab the boy’s sleeve.
After leaving the barbecue skewer shop, the red-haired man took a taxi directly, and Sui Han took one and followed.
The little zombie stood on his master’s lap, looking out the window in surprise, his little face pressed against the glass, and the breath he exhaled left a round face shape.
The reason why Sui Han was following the red-haired man was that he suspected him. He could have handled things better when those people came to make trouble just now, but the red-haired man was stirring things up, as if he wanted the matter to escalate.
The taxi followed the car in front to a small hospital. It wasn’t a big hospital in Shanhai City, just one building.
The words “Shanhai City People’s Hospital” were written in big red letters.
The sign emitted a faint red light in the night, and the surroundings were quiet. The little zombie couldn’t help but shiver.
The red-haired man paid the fare and exited the car, entering the lobby as if he knew the place well. Sui Han and the little zombie quietly followed and saw the red-haired man enter the neurology department.
A nurse saw Sui Han standing at the door and politely walked up to stop him, “Hello, are you here to see a doctor? If you want to see a doctor at night, please go to the emergency room on the first floor. We don’t see patients here.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Sui Han turned around, entered the stairwell, put his phone on recording mode, and handed it to the little zombie.
“Follow the red-haired man, take pictures of him and the people he comes into contact with, and see what they’re doing.”
Sui Han gave the order. He wasn’t sure if he could use invisibility because he already knew that the original owner’s identity was a god. He thought that the original owner could.
But he didn’t seem to have figured out how to use it yet, so he could only send Big Banana out.
The little zombie “hehe” twice, reached out his little hand to hug the phone, rolled his eyes twice, his long eyelashes fluttered, and then he nodded lightly.
“If you understand, then go.”
Sui Han patted his little hat, and the little zombie grinned at him, then ran away in a puff of smoke.
The little zombie was very agile, and he also knew how to avoid the nurses coming and going, and then he successfully found the red-haired man.
Sui Han leaned lazily against the wall in the stairwell. After standing for more than ten minutes, the little zombie returned with the phone.
Immediately after, the red-haired man entered the elevator.
Sui Han saw him call another car downstairs, so he continued to follow.
The other party came to a barbecue skewer shop called “Flower Sea” this time. The shop was very lively, and several tables of customers had been drinking, and their voices were noisy.
Sui Han frowned. It was really noisy.
He didn’t like such noisy places very much. He saw the red-haired man flash into the back kitchen and again ordered the little zombie to follow him.
It was almost midnight when Sui Han returned home. The boy took the little zombie to bathe, dried his hair, and then slowly sat down at the head of the bed to watch the recorded video.
There were two videos, one at the People’s Hospital and one at the Flower Sea Barbecue Skewer Shop.
Sui Han saw that the red-haired man called the doctor in the neurology department of the People’s Hospital “Second Brother”. The two of them whispered a few words, but he didn’t hear what they said.
That Second Brother got up from the medicine cabinet, took out a packet of powder, handed it to the red-haired man, and patted him on the shoulder.
As if he were entrusting him with something.
In the back kitchen of the Flower Sea Barbecue Skewer Shop, Sui Han saw the red-haired man’s eldest brother. The other party tossed the powder in his hand and spat, “Damn it, when you marinate the meat tomorrow, you put the medicine your Second Brother gave you in it. Let’s see how long that fat guy can last.”
The red-haired man smiled, “Someone came to make trouble again today. This medicine treats mental illness. People who don’t have the illness will go crazy after eating it, haha.”
The eldest brother: “You also be careful. Our Jiu Yi will reopen soon!”
The red-haired man: “Don’t worry, big brother. I’m the most reliable when it comes to handling things.”
Sui Han tapped his chin, thought for a while, then turned off the video. These three brothers were playing a good game.
Using this medicine for treating mental illnesses, mixed in the barbecue seasoning to marinate the meat, even if the police station people came, they probably wouldn’t find anything, because this thing wasn’t poisonous.
Moreover, it would be metabolized by the liver a few hours after eating it.
Early the next morning, two more news items appeared on the trending searches: #Jiu Yi Boss Disguises as Employee to Frame Fat Uncle# #Truth About Fat Uncle’s Barbecue Skewer Shop Causing Nightmares#.
The matter was resolved.
Sui Han gazed out at the quiet road outside the window. He walked to the door and opened it. The stairwell was equally silent.
He returned to a world that had been paused once again. There was no loud traffic outside, no bustling streets, and the bright colors of human life he had seen yesterday.
But the boy had adapted a lot. He carried the little zombie to the computer and reached out to open the live broadcast.
[Wow, Sui Sui is here! Good morning, Sui Sui~]
[Sui Sui, what are you broadcasting today [/expectant face]]
Sui Han tilted his head, glanced at the little zombie sitting on the corn cushion, and smiled faintly, “Big Banana did a good job last night, so today I’ll reward him with a bath.”
Upon hearing this, the little zombie immediately became vigilant and quickly reached out to cover his lower body.
[The author has something to say:]
Big Banana: Afraid of taking off my little pants, afraid of being seen naked QAQ
