Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 5
What the proprietress of the grocery store said made my face pale. You must know that I put down a lot of work at hand and came here on leave, hoping that Ma Yi'ao could help me. As a result, her "crazy" made me feel a little bit stupid.

What did I say neuropathy?

Seeing that my face was not right, the proprietress probably came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly, and said no, it's nothing; by the way, how long have you known Ma Yi'ao?

I said meeting by chance is not considered a friend.

The proprietress breathed a sigh of relief and said so, alas, I am not a gossip who likes to gossip behind others' backs, but Ma Yi'ao is really a bit strange, he has been here for more than half a year, I didn't see him doing any serious business, he wandered around every day, and then saw that Tian'er brought a bunch of crooked people here, he didn't look good, and the most annoying thing was to leave the address with me, thinking that I belonged to him The front desk of the company is dedicated to helping him with the reception...

This old woman was chattering, I heard it right away, hurriedly paid for it, and bought a pack of expensive cigarettes, then she smiled and pointed to the east and said, "It's the big courtyard over there."

I followed the fingers of the proprietress and saw a small yard and a two-story low brick house.

I thanked the proprietress, walked to the closed big iron gate in the yard, thought for a while, then knocked on the door and shouted, "Is anyone home?"

I yelled several times, but no one responded. I was very depressed when I remembered what the proprietress said about Ma Yi'ao's journey. The little radish poked its head out, looked at me with its small black and bright eyes, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?"

This little radish has a dirty face, obviously small and shabby clothes, five or six years old, who should be innocent, but has a guarded expression, which is very unsuitable.

I hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is Mr. Ma Yi'ao here?"

Little Luobotou didn't answer my question, but asked instead: "Who are you?"

I took out the yellow gold-edged kit from my pocket, handed him the note from it, and said, "I met Mr. Ma by chance, but he said that if I have any questions, I can come here to ask him for help." .”

Little Luobotou took the note, checked it, and said yes, it was indeed Ma Ge's handwriting.

After confirming, he glanced at me, then looked behind me, and then waved to me: "You come in first."

He opened the iron gate a little, and I managed to squeeze in. There were still people in the yard—two sleepy old men lying on the bamboo chairs in front of the house, and one standing by the water tank in the yard, weighing A fat girl weighing more than [-] pounds, and a strong man squatting in the corner muttering words - that guy looks like he is in his twenties, shirtless, with a thick back, and his lumps are shiny in the sun, like a bodybuilder on TV Same sir.

However, these people are all in a weird state, immersed in their own world, completely ignoring me, and ignoring me at all.

The little radish leader led me into the house, and then shouted to the two-hundred-pound fat girl: "Fat flower, there's a guest, go get a glass of water."

When the fat girl heard it, she responded, looked back at me, and ran into the house shyly.

If it is a beautiful woman, this shyness is very touching, but this fat girl makes me feel quite a sense of horror, and when I walked past the water tank, I found that in the large water tank with a mouth of 1.5 meters, There was actually a skinny little girl.

This girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, although she is thin and small, she has a very delicate appearance, and there are quite a few charms in her eyebrows and eyes, which is very touching.

It's just that, in broad daylight, a girl wearing white clothes and soaking in the water made me feel very strange, so I couldn't help but look at me a few more times, and she also looked at me curiously, which made me feel a little weird. Excuse me, I nodded towards her and said hello.

The girl grinned at me too, showing her white teeth, and said hello.

I said why are you soaking in the water?
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she replied seriously: "I'm a fish, so I should be in the water."

Uh……

She said something so that I didn't know how to answer it at all. I laughed twice, and remembered what the proprietress said just now. The people in this yard are really weird.

Just when I was quite embarrassed, the little luotou next to me glared at the girl, and said if she had any brains, if she couldn't speak, don't say it.

He is quite authoritative here, one sentence made the girl lower her head, and immediately dived into the water.

Little Luobotou led me into the house, saying don't think too much, she just lost her mind.

I didn't say a word, sitting in front of the sofa in the living room, the fat girl named Fat Hua brought a cup of boiled water and put it on the tea table, Little Luobotou greeted: "Our conditions here are poor, only boiled water, don't be disgusted ,drink……"

I had driven for a long time, and I was indeed very thirsty. After a few polite words, I picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down the water glass, just as I was about to speak, Xiaoluotou dismissed the fat girl next to me: "Go to the yard and watch Hai Ni, lest she choke and drown."

After the fat girl brought the water, she stood opposite me, looking at me with a pair of eyes, which made me panic. I just breathed a sigh of relief, but the fat girl said: " Will she drown? She will be fine for three days and three nights in a mouthful of air bubbles..."

Before the fat girl finished speaking, Xiaoluotou's face turned black, and she said that she would go if she told you to. Why are you standing there?When my brother left, how did I explain to you, who is in charge here?
He is not very old, but he has a lot of aura. When he got angry, the fat girl trembled, stuck out her tongue, and left in a hurry.

When the fat girl left, the little radish head said to me like a grown-up: "Hello, my name is Zhong Huang, that's the Zhong Huang from 'Zhongshan is turned pale by the wind and rain, a million heroes cross the river', my brother Ma is out now , I will be in charge here, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

At the beginning, I didn't take this little kid seriously, and wanted to say hello to the adults here. Unexpectedly, after I came in, the two old men on the bamboo chair didn't move. The big man squatted in the corner to watch the ants, while The fat girl was obsequious to him, so she let go of her contempt.

The incident I encountered was very bizarre, with many unusual features, and the child's speech and behavior were also different from ordinary people, which gave me a lot of trust.

With Ma Yi'ao's tip, I didn't hesitate too much, and immediately talked about my affairs with the child Zhong Huang.

I am afraid that his understanding ability is limited, so I specifically explained the details very clearly.

As a result, after I finished my long-winded speech, he said impatiently: "Okay, I understand, it probably means that you hit an evil, and then someone manipulated your body, and it happened to be Ma Ge I see, he was busy at the time, so he didn't explain it to you carefully, but gave you this kit to save your life first, and if you can't figure it out, come over here, right?"

I nodded and said yes, yes, where did Mr. Ma go, can you contact him?

Xiao Zhong curled his mouth, saying that he has his own business and is busy, besides, you don't need Brother Ma to help you with this matter, I will just help you.

I was taken aback, what about you?

Seeing my unbelievable expression, little Zhong Huang got annoyed all of a sudden, and said hi, why are you looking down on me?As far as your little shit is concerned, Brother Xiao Zhong will help you deal with it directly, what's wrong, don't you trust people?

The little radish tasted like corn stubble when it was in a hurry. I wanted to laugh, but I still asked seriously: "Then tell me, how can you help me solve it."

Xiao Zhong Huang stared at me and said to talk about how much money you can give first.

As soon as I heard it, oh, this trick, this little brat... If it weren't for the good impression Ma Yi'ao gave me earlier, I was really afraid that it was a scam, so I suppressed my thoughts and asked, "How much do you want?"

Little Zhong Huang seemed a little nervous, touched his nose, and asked, "When Brother Ma gave you the kit, did you ask how much you wanted?"

I said no, I didn't ask for a penny, didn't I just say that?
Xiao Zhong Huang jumped up when he heard it, and shouted in surprise: "No way? It's impossible. Do you know how precious the thing he gave you is? The talisman is produced by Longquan Mountain. Longquan Mountain, do you know where it is? There is also the Zhizhigu, and the three beards of the Kunlun leopard cat, do you know how much these things add up to?"

What the little thing said made me froze for a while, and I was very confused, but I could probably understand it, that is, the things Ma Yi'ao gave me are very precious.

As for how precious it is, I don't know, so I asked how much it was.

Xiao Zhonghuang said angrily, forget it, forget it, you won’t understand if you tell outsiders like you, don’t talk about that prodigal son, just say how much you can give here.

I stretched out a finger tentatively, Xiao Zhong Huang saw it, shook his head quickly, and said no, no, one hundred is too little.

one hundred?
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the meaning of what I talked to him just now was actually one thousand. I didn't expect this kid to look honest and stable. After all, he was still young and the asking price was not cheap, so I held the mentality of talking to customers, Chatted with Xiao Zhong Huang for a while, and talked about 300 yuan.

After the negotiation, Xiao Zhong Huang began to talk to me: "Let me tell you, you have found us in this matter, you have found the right person."

I said what's going on?

Xiao Zhonghuang said that you have hit the evil in this matter, you know the evil, right?

When I recalled the events of that day, I looked horrified and said, what do you mean, did I hit a ghost?Are there really ghosts in this world?

Xiao Zhonghuang said bah, bah, what kind of feudal superstitions are you, what I said is against the evil, it is different from what you think, I...

Just when he was preparing to make a long speech, suddenly the sound of "bang, bang, bang" came from the iron gate outside the yard, and a woman shouted loudly with a broken gong: "Ma Yi'ao, Ma Yi'ao, come out to me!" !"
