Chapter VI: Retribution of Own
On the afternoon of June 20, Du Feiyu and Ah Bai were digging wild vegetables in the grass in a corner of the community.
It has been 5 days since the time of the bet. Far from getting better, life is getting worse and worse.
"Sect Master, are these grasses really shepherd's cabbage?" Ah Bai asked in a disgusted and confused tone, pulling the small pile of green leaves with his paws.
"Don't worry, this shape of leaves, this shape of branches, this kind of taste! What is not shepherd's cabbage?" Du Feiyu did not stop his work, "There are wild shepherd's cabbages in the grass, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe it." ”
Ah Bai sighed. The Sect Master of the Extreme Dao Sect would already be happy because he had dug up wild vegetables.
But there is no way around it. The steamed buns have been almost consumed, the fortune teller has also been deflated, and it has wasted a lot of physical strength to save people.
But he just guarded the last pride of the sect master, did not steal, did not rob, did not beg, and was not willing to go along a radish even when he passed by other people's vegetable fields.
Steamed buns are the best food, and Du Feiyu is reluctant to eat them. 200 yuan always comes in handy, Du Feiyu has this intuition, so he is reluctant to spend a penny.
But even so, the food today is quite hearty. First, he found an expired bread in the garbage dump in the morning, and Ah Bai smelled it and decided that the bread had not actually spoiled, and now he found wild vegetables in the grass, and tonight he boiled them in plain water, and maybe there could be a pot of delicious vegetable soup.
Ah Bai couldn't help but swallow when he thought of the taste of vegetable soup and bread. Although she gave up all her food to her suzerain, she had been suffering from hunger these days.
Having enough demonic power does not mean that you will not be hungry, but it can only offset the fatigue and weakness caused by hunger.
What's more, she found that her demonic power seemed to dissipate faster than expected. Consumption is greater than replenishment, and if this continues, if the sect master encounters danger one day, she will no longer be able to help.
"What the hell!"
In the distance, a loud shout from the security guard interrupted Bai's consideration. She hurriedly climbed onto Du Feiyu's shoulder, and Du Feiyu lifted the plastic bag containing wild vegetables and ran away.
It's not because of what he's done, it's because Du Feiyu is embarrassed now, no matter how he explains it, it's suspicious.
But dinner was blissful. After washing the wild vegetables, throw them into the rice pot, add some bread crumbs, add tap water, and light the fire with the plywood they have picked up, and the final taste is quite like vegetable porridge.
The bread paste is sweet and delicious, the wild vegetables are crisp and fragrant, and there is a burning fire in front of you, a large river flowing behind you, and the night sky illuminated by the city lights overhead.
"It's really unique. ”
After reluctantly eating the "good meal", Ah Bai said with a smile.
Du Feiyu knocked on the empty cans and sang to the fire and the night sky. The singing is heroic and uninhibited, and there is no impoverishment at all. Ah Bai followed behind and hummed softly, Du Feiyu looked back while singing, and found that she had turned into a human form, the flames flickered, and Ah Bai's amazing face beyond human beings also flickered.
"It's like we were back then. Du Feiyu said, "Life under the night sky has changed and changed, but the black of this night sky has not changed." ”
"And us. Ah Bai gently pulled his long hair behind him, "We are still the same." ”
Du Feiyu looked at Ah Bai's face that was ruddy from the firelight and stood up.
"Let's go for a walk on the road. He said.
"Tomorrow I'm going to find another serious job, either back to the construction site or to work at KFC. ”
“...... Huh?" Bai was a little surprised, "Have you changed your attention?"
"Probably. Du Feiyu put on his coat, "I just think it's a pity that such a beautiful human figure has no money to wear beautiful clothes." ”
Ah Bai's face turned red, and he changed back to his original form with a bang. She slapped the sect master's feet with her tail as if she was angry, and said angrily: "Why don't you even let go of a fox." ”
The flowers at night are the real flowers. The rush and hustle and bustle of the day obscures the hedonistic side of the city.
But the pleasure belongs to someone else, and has nothing to do with Du Feiyu. He passed by a row of self-service KTVs, some singing in booths like phone booths.
And among the people who sang was Hu Banxian.
I saw that he was dressed in a brand new dress, and he seemed to be dozens of years younger than when he told his fortune. His eyes are no longer blind, but the cocked goatee when he sings is still annoying.
Unexpectedly, Du Feiyu bumped into him again.
"It's really a narrow road. Du Feiyu muttered. And Hu Banxian also seemed to recognize Du Feiyu, he was holding the microphone in one hand and gloating with the other hand pointing to the trademark on his clothes, as if shouting something.
"Ah Bai, what is he talking about?" Du Feiyu asked.
"Poor...... ......" Bai replied, observing the shape of his mouth, "he's saying that we are poor." ”
"Poverty should be ridiculed, but lack of virtue can prevail, why is it so strange in this era. Du Feiyu snorted and passed by the side of the compartment.
And Hu Banxian had already walked out with a smile and said to Du Feiyu:
"Young man, do you want the old man to help you calculate a hexagram again? I'm happy tonight, and this overtime pay won't count you. ”
Du Feiyu was angry when he heard this, and thought, I don't want to trouble you, but you sent it to the door yourself. But he still smiled, and replied:
"Hu Banxian is clever, I can't stand it. I'm here to tell you something else. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Please Hu Banxian eat, drink, and have fun. In this way, if you are in trouble at night, you will be in a better mood. ”
"Cut ......"
Hu Banxian heard that Du Feiyu's words were thorny, so he immediately put away his smiling face and went back to the compartment directly.
And Du Feiyu also pretended to leave. He took five steps, waited for a while, and saw that Hu Banxian had been immersed in the music again, so he slapped Ah Bai quietly.
Ah Bai understood, and then the white mist-like cold air turned around a few times with Du Feiyu's gesture and rushed to the door of the compartment.
A thick layer of ice quickly formed on the crack of the door of the compartment, and it seemed that it would be difficult for Hu Banxian to open the door by himself before the ice completely melted.
Hu Banxian sang until late at night, and there was no one on the street. He put down the headphones and microphones and wanted to push the door out, but found that the glass door was not moving.
"Hell, the door was good when you first came in?"
He cursed and kicked hard a few times, but he still couldn't open. A chill soaked into his skin, looking incongruous in the heat of summer.
"This ...... There's no air conditioning in this compartment......"
A cold sweat broke out in him. It was late at night, the shopping mall next to it was closed, and there were no cars passing by on the road. The poorly connected street lamp next to the cubicle was still flickering, and the occasional insect cry was particularly harsh at this time.
It was quiet in the compartment, so quiet that it felt a little lifeless. How noisy the joy just now, how terrible the silence is now.
Only the screen for ordering songs was still on, and the star above was smiling at him with a constant smile.
"I ...... I'm stuck......"
Hu Banxian's heart beat faster. Being trapped in this transparent self-service KTV compartment is like being trapped by a ghost hitting the wall.
"No...... How can there be ghosts in this world!"
Hu Banxian was frightened by his own thoughts, and he was cold from head to foot. He thought that he was holding a magic weapon all day long and talking about ghosts and gods, so he wouldn't really offend any spiritual creatures, right? Or did he say that his fortune-telling was too ostentatious and touched some kind of mold?
In a hurry, a stinky fart rushed out of the intestines. Half Immortal ate a lot of spicy and greasy things at night, this fart stinks incomparably, but the ventilation of the compartment is quite bad, so this smell is held in this half-square meter place and cannot be dispersed.
Hu Banxian was so smoked by himself that he shook his head, and wanted to open the door for ventilation but couldn't do it at all.
He tapped left and right and began to shout. But it's already late at night, where are there still pedestrians passing by? Hu Banxian secretly complained in his heart, looked around, and found that there was another big doll with a lost eyeball outside the compartment.
The big doll looked at Hu Banxian quietly, with a weird smile on his face.
"If you have trouble at night, you'll feel better......
The words that Du Feiyu said sounded in his mind. Hu Banxian was shocked and remorseful, and finally didn't hold back, and screamed miserably.
Seeing this, Ah Bai, who was hiding in the nearby green belt, couldn't help but push the back of Du Feiyu's hand with his little paws:
"Didn't you just freeze the door? Why did you still use illusions?"
Du Feiyu couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Where did I use any illusion? This thing is less daring than a mouse, and he usually does too many bad things, and he is scared by himself. The ice melted in about an hour, and we should go back to sleep. ”
Ah Bai's ears moved, and his blue eyes narrowed into two crescents.
"It's really childlike behavior. The slave family still has to waste demonic power every day because of your child's behavior. ”
"Beautiful and powerful Lord Bai Seventeen, please make an exception and forgive the human race for this little willfulness. ”
"Hmph, I hate you most of all for being a flattering man. ”
The two of them said a word, and they disappeared into the night.
The next day, Hu Banxian did not appear on the bridge. According to people familiar with the matter, he called the police in the middle of the night and was very emotional, saying that the door could not be opened, and that there was something like a ghost hitting the wall. But when the police arrived at the scene, they found that there was nothing wrong with the compartment door, only Hu Banxian was sitting on the ground as if he was scared.
It is said that the police watched the surveillance, and there was no other figure in the picture except for Hu Banxian himself. Hu Banxian burst into tears, crying and saying that he would never do fortune-telling again.
"I'm afraid Hu Banxian peeked at the heavenly opportunity and was retaliated against by Yin Si......" Aunt Zhang whispered to Old Man Li.
"That'...... It's not like there's no one telling fortunes......"
"Hey, you don't have to worry about this, I heard that there is a blind man named Jiang on the side of the Chinese medicine shop in the old alley of Huayang Beicheng, he is counted, he is more spiritual than Hu Banxian......
Du Feiyu passed by them, shook his head and sighed, and smiled again. He straightened his collar and walked forward.
Today he has a new task.
He was going to KFC in Seongnam for an interview.
