Chapter Eighty-Eight: It's All Mine
The courier brother opened his eyes in the hustle and bustle, sat up in a daze, and found that the entire corridor was in a state of chickens and dogs, "What's going on outside, it's chaotic?"
"It seems that the clothes and pants that many people were hanging on the balcony last night are missing. Xu Tao, like Xu Mu, just got up, Qian Liang was still lying on the bed, and only Zheng Linsheng, who got up the earliest, answered.
"Someone is playing a prank?" Xu Mu scratched his messy hair that was sleeping crookedly, and stepped from the ladder to the ground with a big grin.
Xu Tao also crawled out of bed with sleepy eyes, his brain hole was as big as a cosmic black hole, "Could it be a wild cat downstairs?"
I'm not sure if it's a prank," Zheng Linsheng tucked the English book back into the shelf, "but it shouldn't be a wild cat, and even if they can come up, I've never heard of cats scratching buttons." From our house to 307, there are people who have suffered, and 301 is fine. ”
Xu Mu buried half of his body in the closet and took out a polo shirt that he was going to wear today, "We also have it in the house?"
Zheng Linsheng stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the balcony, "A shirt and two T-shirts, I just helped him pick them up on the balcony." ”
The courier brother's clothes have always been washed on Feng Yuan's side, and they have been dried directly over there, and on the balcony of the dormitory, there have always been only three people's clothes. Zheng Linsheng just collected his clothes last night, and all Xu Tao hung outside were T-shirts, underwear and socks, only Qian Liang, a shirt and two polo shirts, all of which were cut clean.
After admiring the masterpiece on the notebook, Xu Mu and Xu Tao glanced at someone who was still lying in bed, Qian Daxia, the festival is changing.
"Young master, if you don't get up again, you're going to be late!" Xu Mu, who had finished washing, knocked on Qian Liang's bed board to provide morning service. Turning around, he suddenly found that the small express carton he brought back yesterday had been opened!
Xu Mu remembers very well that it was still fine when he put things on the bookshelf with the sustenance last night, and now, the white translucent sealing tape on the carton has been cut, and the mouth of the box is wide open, revealing the bubble wrap inside.
He didn't give up and picked up the small cardboard box and carefully rummaged through the bubble wrap, the box was empty and there was nothing.
What about things?
The courier guy pinched the empty box and looked around under his bookshelves and tables, but found no strange items. He carefully studied the content column of the next express order, and the two blurred handwriting should be...... Scissors?
"Have any of you seen the contents of this box?" Xu Mu shook the box in his hand towards Zheng Linsheng and Xu Tao, and Qian Liang walked into the bathroom in a daze.
"Ah, on the balcony. Xu Tao, who was about to go out to buy breakfast with Zheng Linsheng, turned his head and ran to the balcony as if he remembered something, and after a few seconds, he took back a strange-looking pair of scissors and handed it to Xu Mu apologetically, "I'm sorry, when I came back last night, Qian Liang told me that the letter you brought was on the shelf, I didn't see it clearly, and accidentally dismantled the box, and the result was a strange-looking scissors." Later, I found a thread when drying clothes, so I took it and used it, but I forgot about it when I put it on the windowsill. ”
"It's good that you didn't lose it. Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and took the things into his hands.
This strange-looking scissor is about fifteen or sixteen centimeters long, symmetrical from left to right, with neither the usual shaft eye nor a pivot, but overlapping and bent at the bottom into the shape of the number "8", the curve is smooth and elegant, and it is very chic. The blade at the top of the scissors is naturally open, the reverse side is plain bottom, the front is gilded with chisel flowers, the golden light is shining, and it is covered with Ruyi lotus-like ornamentation, which is complex and delicate, and exquisite.
No matter how you look at this thing, it doesn't look like ordinary scissors, Xu Mu suddenly has a bad premonition.
It was put on the balcony last night, and as a result, almost the entire floor of the clothes that were hanging on the balcony last night suffered, and those buttons and stuff can't have anything to do with it, right?
[Hee-hee, this button is not bad. At the same time as a lively voice came out, all the buttons on Xu Mu's body crackled and were stretched. He was wearing a pale green polo shirt with white and green stripes on the round buttons, which looked like a super mini mint toffee.
Xu Mu: ..................
What does it mean to pick up people's buttons when they meet?
Before the buttons could hit the ground, they vanished in a flickering golden light.
"You got the buttons off those clothes on the balcony?" Zheng Linsheng and Xu Tao went down to buy breakfast, Qian Liang was in the bathroom, Xu Mu pinched the scissors and asked sternly, now is the best opportunity to find out the truth.
[Of course. The edge of the scissors shook twice happily, and said proudly, "I like cutting buttons the most!]
Xu Mu: ..................
Are you trying to say that you have itchy hands, so you cut the buttons of your clothes on the balcony of the whole floor?
[Hey, you, you, how can you hear me?] Five seconds later, the reacting scissors asked in some panic.
"I'm a Taoist priest. Xu Mu replied seriously, and took his wide open neckline, "What about those buttons?" ”
[What, do you want to grab the buckle from me?] Scissors said nervously, shrinking the edge of the blade as if facing a great enemy.
"I don't want to rob you, I just want you to return someone else's button. "What does your robbery-like attitude mean? Xu Mu has a row of black lines on his forehead, and I will only grab the button with you when I am ghostly!
The edge of the scissors opened and closed twice excitedly, [No, mine mine, those buttons are mine.] 】
Let's be reasonable, Xu Mu raised his forehead, "That's obviously cut from someone else's clothes." ”
[What's cut out is mine.] The scissors are vibrating and can't be more reasonable.
Xu Mu choked for two seconds, "The cut is yours?"
Which country's overlord clause is this?
[That's right, I'm an evil scissor, hanging on the wall can drive away the ghosts, and pressing on the medicine jar can suppress the plague ghosts. But if you hit the edge of the blade, you can eat it directly after I cut it off, why can't the button?"
Xu Mu swallowed with difficulty, "However, those buttons turned out to have owners. ”
[There are a lot of little ghosts who are also raised by Taoist priests, according to what you say, I can leave those guys alone?]
Courier Brother: ..................
Damn, who will teach me, how to communicate happily with a pair of scissors that are twisted into a figure 8 with logic and body!
In the end, Xu Mu still used the method of equivalent exchange, on the condition of taking scissors to the button shop to choose a satisfactory button, coaxing it to return the things it swallowed last night.
Xu Mu firmly sealed the scissors that he wished back to the express box and sent them to the logistics vehicle that returned to the original delivery site, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this little overlord has a unique taste, and he likes to cut the buttons on people's clothes, and it is good to sew and sew, if it likes to cut hair or ...... Some vital organs and the like, it's simply the rhythm of a horror movie!
The week flies by, and soon it's Friday, the time for the Monster Hunting Club.
Xu Mu didn't dare to be lazy this time, and rushed to the No. 2 lecture hall in Tonghua Building early.
Wu Bing stepped into the door with a small face, swept to Xu Mu, who was sitting in the old seat in the second row, and sat down in front of the courier brother with a cold face.
"Do you know what today's meeting is about?" Xu Mu poked the little fox's back and humbly asked him about the news.
Wu Bing glanced at him, "Of course, it's a place to go out to hunt demons on the weekend." ”
"Go out to hunt demons on the weekend?" The courier brother who is habitually absent from club activities looked confused, isn't this a nominal club, the big demon is the instructor, the little demon is an activist, such a club that is fully occupied by monsters really wants to go out to hunt demons?
However, the fact is that the short-haired senior sister really announced three routes on the blackboard for everyone to vote for.
The first route is in Yudai Lake Park near the school, and it is said that there is a shipwreck at the bottom of the lake of unknown age, and since last week, some people say that they often hear the cry of the ghost in the middle of the night.
After reading the information, Xu Mu had goosebumps on his back, damn, it's really fake, can I bring a shielding helmet when I go to Yudai Lake Park for a walk in the future? I really don't want to hear the stories of the unjust souls!
The second route is a relatively unfamiliar place for the courier brother, Qipanshan on the outskirts of Shanghai. It has always been said that there is a large tomb of a prince of the Han Dynasty pressed under the chessboard mountain, and recently someone broke the news on the Internet, saying that when going to climb and camp, there are always strange vibrations and sounds underground.
Maybe someone is robbing the tomb/tomb, Xu Mu bends the corners of his mouth and guesses wildly.
The third place Xu Mu is very familiar with, Yuetan Street. These days the net is boiling, the first archway of Yuetan Street, the stone lion with the ball in the mouth of the bottom of the archway, actually appeared and spit out the ball, it is likely to be a sign of the opposite direction. Nearby residents also said they had felt earthquake-like tremors one night.
You think about it too much, in fact, the jairs in the town inside have been released! The courier brother who knows the truth said silently in his heart.
In fact, Xu Muting hopes that everyone will choose the third one, so that tomorrow's club activities will definitely end quickly. The other two, which are really a bit time-consuming, especially the second one, is estimated to have to spend a night in the mountains.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the most popular was actually the second route.
The reason why everyone chooses this route is also very simple, you can sleep in the open like an autumn trip for a night, or at public expense!
At four o'clock in the afternoon on the weekend, the air-conditioned bus rented by the short-haired senior sister took more than 20 members to Qipan Mountain.
Qipan Mountain is not high, only about 8/900 meters above sea level, and the mountain is lush and verdant, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. There is an area on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain where tourists can camp and barbecue, and the members of the Demon Hunting Club have chosen the mountainside after discussion.
The tents provided by the club are two-occupancy, and the companions are divided into two groups, men and women, and lots are drawn to determine the roommates for the night.
Wu Dashao's tent is the most conspicuous in the whole camp, he didn't use the club, he brought a super luxury tent with two large tents inside and outside.
"I'm so lucky. As the lucky one who was selected by Wu Bing, the courier brother walked into Wu Dashao's tent in the envious eyes of everyone, even if the lights were ignored, there were actually small sofas and mini refrigerators inside, which was really outrageous. Xu Mu couldn't wait to turn into the size of Sprite's cat and roll back and forth on the small sofa a few times.
"Stupid. "Luckily, you're a big-headed ghost, and I found your name on purpose. Wu Bing muttered quietly, taking small sips of sour plum juice, wrinkling his nose with sourness every time he took a sip, and after a while, he couldn't help but take another sip. He has been particularly fond of this sweet and sour taste lately.
After dinner, the members of the club were divided into two groups, and followed the short-haired senior sister and senior Liu along the foot of the mountain for most of the circle, saying that they were looking to confirm whether there was any abnormal condition, in fact, most of them were in a beautiful mood to eat after the meal.
At eleven o'clock, in the dead of night, Xu Muzheng, who had finished spitting, wanted to happily hug the quilt and linger to find Zhou Gong and his old man, but Wu Bing dragged his quilt away, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”
"Where are you going?" asked Xu Mu inexplicably.
Wu Bing said with a porcelain white face, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "Of course it's to catch ghosts." ”
The courier brother grappled and grabbed the corner of the quilt and refused to let go, catch a ghost or something, can you ask for leave?
