Don't lament the pain of life, lament that you are weak.

- Charles Darwin

Soon after Ma Zhanjun left, Zhang Fa's personal bodyguard Meng Ergou returned to the ward with breakfast.

This Meng Ergou is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, 1.75 meters tall, slightly fat, and extremely ugly facial features, especially the pair of mouse eyes, which look treacherous and fierce, not good.

Named after the sea, the tourism industry in Phuyen has become more and more prosperous after the millennium, thanks to the vigorous promotion of the local government and the tourism bureau.

Meng Ergou is a native of Fuyan City, who grew up by the sea since he was a child, and his family lives on the sea, doing some business of stealing customers.

Influenced by this, Meng Ergou dropped out of school and went home after a few days of junior high school, there are many people in this industry, and the natural competition is also big, peers are enemies, and friction is inevitable after a long time.

Under Meng Ergou's means, the Meng family made some ill-gotten gains, and Meng Ergou, who had money in his hands, became even more arrogant and arrogant......

In 2006, the tourism bureau began to vigorously improve the tourism environment, purging small traders and hawkers who made a living by stealing customers, including the Meng family, and unified the planning area, created a commercial belt, and invited bids from the public.

Laifa Group judged the situation and spent a huge amount of money to contract this area, Meng Ergou brought people to make trouble, and over time, this guy was favored by Zhang Fa and was included in his command, and Meng Ergou was twenty years old that year.

Meng Ergou, who has black hands and a careful heart, has gradually become his most trusted confidant, inseparable from his left and right. Meng Ergou is greedy for money and lustful, and Zhang Fa also likes what he likes, in his eyes, people with desires are better controlled.

Meng Ergou, who returned to the ward, saw that Zhang Fa was sullen and seemed to have something on his mind, so he said:

"Uncle, the porridge is still hot, drink it while it's hot. ”

"Well, let it go, I'll drink it later......" Zhang Fa replied with a blank look.

Meng Ergou put breakfast on the bedside table, walked towards the window, and stretched out his hand to open the curtains......

"Ergou, don't pull it away, I'll pull it up ......"

Seeing this, Zhang Fa hurriedly stopped it.

Meng Ergou scratched his head, frowned and said:

"The doctor said to let Uncle bask in more sunshine, the light is so good in the morning......"

Zhang Fa knew that Meng Ergou was for his good, and he didn't know the inside story, so he didn't blame him.

"Close it today, I'm a little uncomfortable......"

Meng Ergou hurriedly walked up to Zhang Fa with concern and said:

"Uncle, I don't look good when I come back to see you, do you need me to call Doctor Bai and show you?"

"No, no need, I'll just rest for a while, you go to the door and guard, don't come in without me......" Zhang Fa remembered what Daoist Ma said to him, and hurriedly sent Meng Ergou out.

Meng Ergou saw that Zhang Fa was reluctant to talk to him, so he didn't say much, turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait, Ergou ......" Zhang Fa seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly called Meng Ergou,

"Come here, I'll tell you something......"

Meng Ergou hurriedly returned to Zhang Fa's bedside, bent down and put his ears in front of Zhang Fa, listened to Zhang Fa's instructions, and replied in a low voice:

"Okay...... Got it...... Okay"

Meng Ergou squinted at those mouse eyes, and a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Ma Zhanjun appeared in front of the door of Zhang's sick room with a small wooden box, and he was just about to knock on the door to enter, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him:

"Who are you looking for?"

This sudden voice really startled Ma Zhanjun, and he hurriedly turned around to see a man with an ugly face, standing quietly behind him.

"Isn't this Zhang Xinshi living in the ward?" Ma Zhanjun calmed down and continued:

"We have made an appointment to come at this time, and if we don't believe you, we will ask him. ”

"Oh, Daoist Ma, it's okay, you go in, my uncle is waiting for you in the room." Meng Ergou replied with a smile.

No matter how you look at it, they don't look like a good person, this is the impression that the two have of each other......

Pushing open the door, the room was really dark, with the faint light of the corridor, Ma Zhanjun took out a small lotus lamp from the wooden box, plugged it into the power supply of the bedside table, the small lamp glowed yellow, instantly filled every dark corner of the room, he quickly turned around, closed the door, returned to the head of Zhang Fa's bed, and said:

"Did Zhang Xinshi do what I told you today?"

"According to the instructions of the gods, I didn't dare to make any mistakes. Zhang Fa hurriedly replied.

Ma Zhanjun nodded, then sealed his right hand, put it on his chest, chanted words in his mouth, and circled around the hospital bed a few times.

"I have just driven away the surrounding filth, you quickly take out the paper and pen in the box, write the matter on the yellow paper, within an hour, you must stop writing, do you hear clearly?"

Ma Zhanjun pretended to be mysterious and said.

"Clear, clear......"

Zhang Fa hurriedly nodded in agreement, quickly opened the wooden box, took out the big yellow paper and red pen at the bottom of the box, and began to write......

The episodes that recurred countless times in the dream, the nightmares that woke him up from his slumber over and over again, no matter how many years had passed, he could remember clearly......

In that desperate mountain forest, in that cramped tent, he once lost his humanity.

............

About an hour and a half later, Zhang Fa put down the pen in his hand and twisted his neck.

"Immortal, I've written it, this ......" Zhang Fa looked at the dense words on the yellow paper in front of him and said.

"You fold the paper yourself and put it in the box, I have the lock, you lock the box, and you keep the key yourself. Ma Zhanjun just stood far away and said.

"Immortal, you see this, I just have a lock here, and it's a waste to put it away, can I use my own?"

After speaking, Zhang Fa took out a new lock from the drawer.

Ma Zhanjun secretly scolded this old fox in his heart for being too cunning, how could anyone come out of the hospital with a lock......

"It should ...... No problem, I bought this lock temporarily, and there is nothing special about it. Ma Zhanjun was afraid of arousing Zhang Fa's suspicions, so he did not stop him.

Zhang Fa hurriedly locked the wooden box, held the key firmly in his hand, Ma Zhanjun stepped forward, picked up the wooden box, put away the lotus lamp, and turned around to leave.

Zhang Fa, who was in the dark, suddenly asked:

"Immortal, the man at the door is my nephew, may I ask him if he can go with him and help you fight......"

There was no answer for a long time......

"Then why don't he come close and watch from afar?" Zhang Fa hurriedly asked.

"If you don't believe me, just let him follow, and don't be vain."

Ma Zhanjun replied angrily.

"Master Xie, I will repay you for this kindness one day!" Zhang Fa said happily.

No one answered, and after the door opened, at the junction of the corridor and the ward, a figure walked out of the door in the faint light, and then the darkness returned to the room, Zhang Fa lay on the bed, but he was sleepy, and he involuntarily fell into the abyss of memory......

Ding Yong, after tonight, don't pester me anymore.

............

Ma Zhanjun and Meng Ergou went out of the main entrance of the hospital one after the other, Meng Ergou wanted to drive, but Ma Zhanjun refused, the two sat side by side in the back seat of the taxi, Ma Zhanjun explained the position, and then put the wooden box on his lap, pressed the wooden box lid with both hands, and fell asleep after a while......

Meng Ergou's eyes didn't leave the wooden box for a moment, Zhang Fa only said that he wanted to be optimistic about the wooden box and stared at this short Taoist, but he didn't know what was in the wooden box.

He began to be a little curious, and quietly reached out to touch the wooden box on the lap of the dismounted Zhanjun......

"You're not small, you can't touch this thing!" Ma Zhanjun deliberately raised his voice, so frightened that Meng Ergou's body shook suddenly, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had avenged Fang Cai's frightening.

Meng Ergou's face turned red, he dared not speak angrily, his little eyes turned white, and he leaned in the direction of the car door, his eyes still staring directly at the wooden box.

Live like a rat staring at cheese......

As a foreigner, Meng Ergou had already lost his direction, and there was no need for him to remember the route, because Zhang Fa repeatedly told him that he must see the wooden box burned to ashes before he could complete the task.

The car traveled for a long time, and finally stopped in front of an unfinished building, Ma Zhanjun made a look, Meng Ergou shook his head, took out his wallet to pay the fare, and took out another hundred yuan and handed it to the driver.

"Wait for us here, this is a broken place with no village in front and no store in the back, if you can't get a taxi later, it will be miserable. After speaking, he glanced at Ma Zhanjun again.

Ma Zhanjun ignored him and walked straight towards the abandoned real estate, and Meng Ergou also hurriedly got out of the car and followed.

The unfinished building is pitch black, and from time to time there will be the call of unknown birds, which makes this withered environment even more eerie and terrifying.

The two of them came to a building and groped their way up to the second floor......

"Bang ......" Meng Ergou seemed to kick something, and there was a sound of a glass bottle rolling in front of him.

"Don't panic, there are often homeless homeless people who spend the night here in summer, and it is still cold at this time, and after a few days, this place is lively at night. ”

Ma Zhanjun said unhurriedly:

"When you arrive, lean back and watch your step. ”

Through the faint moonlight, Meng Ergou saw the same ornaments he saw in horror movies when he was a child not far in front of him.

On a table of eight immortals, there was a pile of gifts and other ritual supplies that he couldn't see clearly.

He leaned back unconsciously, and this strange environment made his scalp tingle somewhat.

In the moonlight, the emaciated Ma Zhanjun picked up a wooden sword and danced with care, babbling and humming a little song in his mouth.

Of course, he didn't know what he was singing, anyway, he just hummed......

Suddenly, I saw him shout, picking up a pile of yellow paper on the table,

"Snap" picked up the lighter on the table, lit it, and babbled the yellow paper into the brazier in front of him......

Then he picked up another bottle of liquid and sprinkled it evenly on top of the wooden box.

"Come here......" Ma Zhanjun called to Meng Ergou on the side.

Meng Ergou didn't dare to slack off, and trotted to the table of the Eight Immortals.

Ma Zhanjun pointed to the wooden box in front of him with his sword and said:

"Pick it up and throw it in the brazier......"

Meng Ergou was a little confused, thought for a while, and asked softly:

"Shouldn't you do it, I can do it!"

"I'm done with the Fa, whoever burns it is the same, anyway, you're here, you can do this kind of thing with your own hands. Ma Zhanjun replied.

"That'...... Okay then......" Meng Ergou picked up the wooden box with great reluctance

"It's not going to ...... Yes to me...... What's the impact?"

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, since it's here, don't think about it so much, time is running out, hurry up and burn it." You watch it burn out, and I'm waiting for you in the car. After speaking, Ma Zhanjun turned around and walked downstairs to himself......

Meng Ergou secretly complained in his heart, he was busy throwing the wooden box into the brazier, as soon as the wooden box came into contact with the fire, it quickly burned, Meng Ergou thought that this might be related to the bottle of liquid, and at this moment, he was more grateful to this Ma Dao person......

Ma Zhanjun trotted all the way, returned to the car, sat in the co-pilot's seat, and fumbled to take out a wad of yellow paper from his pocket.

"Here you go, Pillar, I've got what you want!"

It turns out that this taxi driver is Mancang!

It turned out that there was a hidden mechanism at the bottom of this wooden box, and the two expected that the cunning Zhang Fa would definitely make trouble, but no one could have imagined that the bottom layer of this wooden box was loose.

Ma Zhanjun took advantage of the opportunity to walk out of the dim ward, picked the low-level organs, and completed the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars.

Poor Zhang Fa, the mechanism was exhausted, and finally he was on the road.

Man Cang trembled and took the yellow paper that recorded all the truth, and felt a sadness in his heart, for 34 years, this fog will finally dissipate......

To be on the safe side, he didn't rush to read the contents in front of him, but carefully tucked it into his jacket pocket and adjusted his breathing.

"Thank you, monkey ......"

Man Cang looked at Ma Zhanjun in front of him and said.

"That's pretty much it, you have to have a humble attitude to ask people to do things, right?" Ma Zhanjun replied proudly.

"By the way, what are your plans next?" Ma Zhanjun then asked.

"I don't know, let's take a look at this first, maybe ......"

Man Cang was about to say something when suddenly, he felt a tap on his arm, and he immediately closed his mouth in vigilance.

"Huhuhu......" A violent gasp came from a distance, and a figure was rushing towards it.

"Too ...... It's not interesting, Ma Dao Chief, you... You didn't say wait for me later......"

Meng Ergou said breathlessly, as soon as he opened the door, he sat on the back seat with his buttocks.

"Is it all burned clean?" Ma Zhanjun asked, turning his head.

"Well, I've been staring at it, and the fire is out before I leave. Meng Ergou replied.

"Okay, complete the task perfectly, master set off, go back to the hospital!" Ma Zhanjun shouted excitedly.

The engine starts, the lights come on, and a taxi whizzes and stirs up the silence of the dawn.

What should come or will come......
