On the day his grandfather passed away, he left Chen Mo a noodle shop.
The noodle shop is located in the deepest alley of the village in the city. The door is locked during the day and open at midnight.
Grandpa said that when midnight comes, some special guests will come.
Chen Mo didn't believe it.
Until the first night, a man covered in blood opened the door and ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
After eating the noodles, the injury was healed. The man left behind a copper coin with four words engraved on it:
There is no one in the world.
From that night on, things started to go wrong for the noodle shop's customers.
The woman in cheongsam came to eat wontons and said, "After finishing this bowl, it's time for me to leave."
The white cat squatted at the door and waited for three days, then spoke humanly: "Your grandfather has not finished what he promised me."
There was also a girl who always appeared at midnight, ordering a bowl of noodles that she couldn't remember, leaving behind a withered gardenia.
Chen Mo made bowl after bowl according to the "Bai Wei Lu" left by his grandfather.
He thought that was all.
Until a man in a long gown walked into the noodle shop, sat down, and said with a smile:
"Your grandpa owes me a bowl of noodles. He's gone, you come and pay it back."
Chen Mo asked: "What kind of noodles?"
The man pointed to the sealed iron pot behind the stove:
"What's in the pot is that bowl of noodles."
Chen Mo turned around and saw a trace of black air seeping from the crack of the pot lid.
He remembered his grandfather's last words before his death——
"Xiao Mo, don't open that pot."
