Strange talk live room

It's not difficult for Lao Gu to find my number. All he has to do is ask Zhan Xue.

Presumably he came to me because of what happened last night.

I know there are some people in this world who can see ghosts, but most of those people are weak and Lao Gu really doesn't look like that.

"It's me, what do you want from me?"

"I am Gu Xudong, the security guard of the welfare home. I don't know if you still remember me. I misunderstood you that time and want to apologize to you. I don't know if you have time."

Lao Gu made up an excuse. He was probably really not good at lying, so he stumbled over his words.

"I'm free, how about tonight? Just tell me a place and I'll be there." I happened to have something to ask him.

Lao Gu didn't expect me to be so happy and was stunned for a moment: "That's great. If you don't mind it, how about having a meal together near the orphanage tonight?"

"No problem, just send me the address and I will be on time."

Not long after hanging up the phone, I received a text message from Lao Gu.

I then rested for a few hours.

When the time was almost up, I packed up and set off.

It's dark outside.

As night falls, the lanterns come on.

On the contrary, I am much more energetic than during the day.

There is a small street outside the orphanage, which is similar to a village in the city.

Lao Gu chose a very clean Chinese restaurant here.

"Boss Li, I don't know what you like to eat, so I didn't order in advance. This is the menu. Take a look and order what you want. You're welcome."

Lao Gu handed over the menu.

He wore a gray jacket and a pair of military green camouflage pants. He looked more relaxed than when he was wearing a security uniform, with a more serious look.

Although the clothes are old, they don't look shabby.

"That's what you said, so I won't be polite."

I chuckled and took a quick look at the menu.

I ordered a spicy dry pot, rice with twice-cooked pork, a stir-fried vegetable dish, and a tofu soup.

Oh, and a plate of peanuts.

The total amount does not exceed 200 yuan.

"Is this enough, don't add more?" the old consultant asked.

"It's not enough."

"any drinks?"

"If you don't drink, how can you talk about things while drinking?" I laughed.

Lao Gu was stunned for a moment: "You know I have something to do with you."

"It's not obvious." I took a sip of tea and observed Lao Gu's expression.

Lao Gu frowned slightly, looking very troubled, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

I am not in a hurry.

Conversation is also tricky.

Especially when the two parties are not very familiar with each other and do not trust each other, it is even more important to stabilize their mentality.

Whoever loses his composure first will be at a disadvantage.

Not long after, the dishes came out one after another.

"Boss Li, you're welcome, let's chat while we eat." Lao Gu asked me to use my chopsticks.

Of course I had nothing to be polite about, so I started eating the food openly.

Although it is a small restaurant, it tastes really good and the food I ate was quite delicious.

It seemed like I was just here for a meal.

Lao Gu and I are completely opposite, we don’t know the taste of food.

"I heard from Teacher Xiaoxue that Boss Li is a great philanthropist and has donated a lot of money to the welfare home." He thought for a while and finally started talking.

A roundabout tactic was adopted.

"Huh, I'm not as noble as you say. I myself have no father or mother, so I feel very sympathetic to the plight of these children." I said with a faint smile.

Lao Gu was a little surprised and looked at me: "I didn't expect that Boss Li would be so admirable."

"Whatever, I'm just an ordinary person." I ate the food calmly.

"Boss Li is young and has such strong assets. I wonder what kind of work he does?"

"Work," I thought for a while, and said, "It can be understood as someone who specializes in helping people solve their problems."

"Oh." Lao Gu nodded blankly and didn't hesitate to ask more questions, which seemed like he had ulterior motives.

"Society is developing too fast now. It seems that people like me who can't keep up with the times will not be able to do it." He laughed at himself.

"You can't say that. Lao Gu, you see that you have retired from the army. Isn't it too humiliating to be a small security guard in a welfare home?"

"There is no such thing as giving up one's talents. The army and society are two different environments. I live alone anyway, so how much money I make doesn't mean much, but looking at those children, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart."

Lao Gu smiled bitterly.

"Living alone? Lao Gu, you are not young anymore, are you not married yet?" I pretended to be surprised.

"Leave." Lao Gu's face darkened significantly and his voice became low.

"Oh, sorry."

"It's nothing, it's all in the past." Lao Gu waved his hands with a forced smile, "I have been staying in the orphanage these past few years and looking at the smiles of those children, I feel very happy, but"

"I'm suspended now."

"What's going on? Isn't it because of the misunderstanding with me that day that the orphanage is going to expel you?" I said deliberately.

"It's none of your business, it's my own problem."

"Then you invited me to dinner because you wanted me to help you intercede with the orphanage?"

"That's not what I meant. You misunderstood Boss Li." Lao Gu hesitated for a moment and then said, "I want to ask you something."

"Please say."

"Do you have a twin brother?"

"Probably not. I had never heard of it before when my father was here."

Lao Gu nodded, thoughtfully: "Then do you believe that there are two people who look exactly the same in this world?"

"The world is huge and full of wonders, but there are similar people, but there should be no identical ones." I followed his intention and said.

"Then you..." Lao Gu paused and looked at me: "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

I smiled slightly and asked, "Do you believe it?"

Lao Gu's answer surprised me.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know whether I should believe it or not."

"Huh? What's wrong with this? If you believe it, you believe it. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it."

"Boss Li, you grew up in the city. I wonder if you have ever heard that some people in the world can see things that others cannot."

"Of course I've heard of it." I pretended to be suddenly enlightened. "Is it possible that you, Lao Gu, are this kind of person?"

Lao Gu nodded, then shook his head.

"I don't know if I am."

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know if what I saw was real or an illusion." He put down his chopsticks and nodded his head with his fingers.

"I had a physical examination a few days ago and there was a shadow here. The doctor said it was a tumor. The tumor was compressing the nerves and may cause hallucinations."

"I see." I finally understood why Lao Gu was so hesitant.

I also understand how he felt that night, after others checked the bed and found that the children were not missing, he said that he should see a doctor.

"Actually, it's very simple to know whether what you see is an illusion or reality."

I picked a peanut and said slowly.

"What good idea does Boss Li have?" Lao Gu looked at me.

"Of course you need to treat the disease. Cure the tumor first. If you can still see those strange things, it means what you saw was not an hallucination."

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but" Lao Gu sighed deeply, as if he had something unspeakable.
