Chapter 138: The Story of Light and Shadow
The interest collected by the ghost is actually the soul of the prison warden, and the so-called good and evil will be rewarded in the end, perhaps this is how it is fulfilled.
After the death of the prison director, the original prison guard cadre served as the prison director during the arrival of the new prison director. It was also at this time that the fat man asked the old man for a lot of relationships, and finally allowed me to bail out.
Two months later, after the new warden had approved my report, it was finally time to leave the prison, and the Black Tiger Mouse and the Mouse were sending me off with a large group of people. Strange to say, going to jail is certainly not a pleasure, but after almost a month, it doesn't seem like a bad impression on me.
Even if I think about it now, I often laugh. But there is also sadness, thinking that if the bricks hadn't died back then, maybe there would be one more friend to drink and chat with.
Walking over the high wall, I carried my bag and wore the black coat I had come in, and when I saw the fat man leaning against a small Alto, he waved at me when he saw me from a distance.
After walking over, he stuffed my backpack into the car, and after getting into the car, he said, "I set up a table in Jufu, and Luo Qiong went first." I'll give you the wind. ”
I nodded and said, "When I'm inside, what's going on outside?"
"It's still the same, Mr. Tang contacted me once last month and asked us to do a task, but I dragged it back. My uncle replied to the letter, and the money was received, but Lao Maozi didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and I heard that there would be additional liquidated damages and a large amount of money. Anyway, he won't be able to come back in a short time, and in addition, Zhuzi called to say that the Ling family would let us out and not trouble us for the time being, and it seemed that Shuya had reached some kind of agreement with Mr. Xu. I asked specifically, but Mr. Xu didn't say. ”
While driving, the fat man handed me a cigarette, holding the cigarette, I was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "I'll give you your name in a while, you can help me check it, it's an old lady, if we have spare money in our hands, send her some every month." ”
"What's wrong?"
The fat man asked curiously.
"It's okay, it's the old mother of a friend in the number, who entrusted me to take care of it, and without him I would be dead now. ”
I looked out the car window, my eyes glinting with a hint of sadness.
Jufu Restaurant, I, Fat Man and Luo Qiong sat in the old seats, and Boss Song specially sent us a bottle of wine. I ate it slowly, but it was fragrant, and the food inside was really unpalatable.
"Look at this. ”
The fat man handed me a piece of paper, and I took a sip of wine and took a look at it, and the names of several herbs were written on the white paper.
"Herbs?"
I asked, stunned.
"This is what the Dongying female ghost wrote after possessing Xiang Sensei. At that time, after the old Chinese medicine doctor's shop had an accident, I went there once and asked the old Chinese medicine doctor for this prescription. ”
The fat man explained.
If the fat man didn't mention this matter, I couldn't remember it myself, so I nodded at the moment and said: "That's the case, but I think this prescription is written blindly by the female ghost who wants to treat the old man of the doorman, you see, there are many expensive medicinal materials written on it, ginseng, Lingzhi, and cordyceps, which are simply random matching." ”
"I showed this prescription to Senior Han, and he also said at the time that it was scribbled, there was no such ancient prescription, it was simply a mess of putting all the precious medicinal materials in a big pot and stewing them at once. But there is a medicinal herb in it, and Senior Han said that it is particularly strange to put it in it. ”
"Which one?"
I asked curiously.
"This, Devil's Head. The fat man pointed to the herbs written on the prescription at the end and said.
According to Han's predecessors, all the other medicinal materials on this prescription are good medicines for people, and some can even be called treasures, among which ginseng, Lingzhi, cordyceps, and Tianshan Snow Lotus are all rumored treasures that can bring people back to life. But this smell of ghost head worm is poison, and it is a life-urging earth beast that will kill people immediately if eaten! ”
The fat man's explanation is really like that.
"You say this ghost head worm is an earth beast?"
I asked in surprise.
"Yes, I asked Brother Zhuzi, he said that the ghost head insect is a kind of poisonous insect that will be traded in the black market on the border of Yunnan and Burma, but it is a kind of poisonous insect, they have two very long whiskers, the body is very small and black, but the jaws are very powerful, after biting the prey, it will not let go easily, and a slender tip sticks out of the mouth into the body of the prey, and injecting a trace of poison will kill the prey. Generally speaking, this poisonous insect does not eat the flesh and blood of the prey immediately after killing the prey, but burrows into the carcass of the prey and sucks the brain marrow of the prey. To make a living from this, it can be said to be a very vicious monster!"
The fat man nodded and explained.
Why does a female ghost know the origin of Chinese earth beasts, even if it has lived in China for a long time before its death, but it only lives as a common person, and there is no reason to come into contact with earth beasts, monsters and the like. After death, people do not immediately become omniscient, and they also need to learn in order to increase their knowledge.
I pinched my glass, thought for a moment, and said, "What you mean is that someone deliberately told this Dongying female ghost that she has this smell of ghost head worms. And then let it figure it out, but why do that?"
Just when I felt that I couldn't figure out a lot of things, Luo Qiong, who was beside me, said: "Brother Shan, I think there may be such a possibility." ”
"You say. ”
I motioned for him.
"Will anyone need the ghost head worm, but they don't have the money or the way to get this ghost head worm, so they trick the female ghost of Dongying to find the ghost head worm, and then find a way to profit from it. ”
Luo Qiong's idea cannot be said to be impossible.
"Forget it, I don't want to do this, hurry up and eat, I still have the task given by Mr. Tang, let's study and study together in the evening, I heard that it is a business that can make a lot of money, by the way, Huizhi, this kid Shen Mengtian took him to school every day. Now this kid looks like an ordinary child, except for his bald head and the scar on his head. By the way, when it comes to Shen Mengtian, she knows that you are out of prison, and she said that she wants to see you, and you will see when you are free......"
"Drink first, find a way to make money, and talk about what you can't see. ”
After being released from prison, we drank this first drink for a long time, and it was not until late at night that Boss Song closed that we left with wine bottles.
Under the street lamp, I walked in front with my feet on the edge of the road. The fat man and Luo Qiong walked behind me shoulder to shoulder. The fat man probably got up, and he raised his head and sang as he walked.
"The flowers bloom in spring, the wind in autumn, and the sunset in winter, melancholy youth, I used to think ignorantly......"
Luo Qiong's face on the side was slightly red, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Cui, what are you singing here? It's weird and good, it's like a mountain song in our hometown." ”
"This is Luo Dayou's song, called the story of time, I will have a tape back to play it to you at that time. The story of the running water that takes away the time has changed a person, just in that sentimental and first waiting youth ......"
The fat man talked and sang again.
In fact, he doesn't sing well, he just shouts at the top of his voice, but for some reason, he smiles inexplicably every time he recalls these clips.
Those days when brothers walked on the empty road and walked on lonely lights, those days when they were drunk and carefree, those good memories of not knowing what the future holds, as long as there is wine today, and drunk.
All of this becomes the deepest and sweetest happiness in a person's heart.
More priceless than any treasure, because youth is priceless, time is priceless, and memories are priceless......
The three of us walked along the highway and kept going.
Youth was so carefree, I turned my head and saw the fat man and Luo Qiong smiling stupidly.
"Brother Shan, you also sing two songs! haha......"
Luo Qiong held the wine bottle and shouted with laughter.
"Lao Tzu can't sing, so fucking can sing the national anthem......"
I smiled and waved my hand.
Looking up at the starry sky, you can still see the bright starlight that year, but now it is long gone. It's not that the stars aren't gone, it's that people don't want to see them......
When I returned to the fat man's house, I lay on the bed, closed the door, opened the window, lit three cigarettes on the windowsill, and whispered: "Brick, may you be reincarnated as soon as possible, and then follow me after eighteen years." Your old mother, I'll take care of ......"
Stretched out his hand and gently covered his face, but after all, there were still tears flowing down his fingers, and they gently slid down his fingers......"
