Chapter 20: Alisi Will Never Catch Up with the Turtle (Part I)

After September, Shijie and Lichan went to Shanxi in the second half of the year to relax. On the other hand, Shijie embezzled our tens of thousands www.biquge.info of yuan in remuneration, but it could not give us a convincing reason. And a few quarrels, so that our cooperation left a rift, the small courtyard was quiet, I can't leave this quiet to the creation, on the contrary, a kind of unprovoked anxiety began to swallow everyone.

Before Shijie went to Shanxi, he was already very abnormal, and for several days in a row, he locked himself in a hut and did not say a word. Once cheerful and optimistic turned into sensitive and autistic, but there was often a jingle sound in the room, I don't know what was tinkering. One night, one of the lenses of his glasses was broken, and he suspected that we were deliberately moving his hands and feet, and he didn't have another lens, so he glued it and glued it, and when he squinted at me, there would be four or five eyes reflected from the broken lens, and it seemed that many Shijie before and after him, surrounded me to observe, which was chilling.

Maybe it's because I keep asking about the whereabouts of the manuscript's salary, but two days before Shijie and Li Chan went to Shanxi, he took me into his room. The cottage was covered with heavy curtains during the day, and the bedside lamp was on, but covered with a pillow towel, and the light was dim and heavy. The room was mixed with smoke, sweaty feet, alcohol, and an earthy smell that I couldn't describe. Shijie pulled out a suitcase from under the table, stuffed with a dozen newspaper packets of paper bags.

"Wish, a small part of the money was given to Lichan for her birthday, and I used it, and I changed a large part of it. Expressionless, he picked up a paper bag and slowly opened it. The newspaper looked old, crumpled and crumpled, but there was no sound when it was opened. An object the size of a palm, which appears to be a yellow-green glaze, is exposed.

"I received a batch of things dug up by a friend in my hometown, which is estimated to be from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it should be very valuable. I don't have any money here, so if you're in a hurry, just take a few things and sell them?" Shijie handed me the item. This thing is very heavy on the hand, the glaze is very rough, and in many places it is peeling off, and gray-black clay falls. The point is that the styling is too weird. It appears to be a slender animal, but it has three heads, each pointed and long, with a fox face, a mane on the neck, and a long, hairless tail, although lying down, the head is facing in three directions. The more you go to the head, the lighter the glaze becomes, the head is already blue-white, and the eyes are just sockets, without eyeballs.

Looking at this thing, the first reaction was an evil breath, and when it was in the hand, perhaps because of the weight, the hand quickly became numb, and then, a cold breath came up. With my limited knowledge of literature and play, it is estimated that eighty percent is a tomb beast, but these three-headed shapes are unheard of. Looking up at Shijie, I was about to ask why, but suddenly I saw that he was staring at me, and the broken lenses reflected many three-headed monsters in the dim light, maybe from different angles, and the three heads of the guy were also looking at me from different directions. The cool air went from the soles of my feet to my neck, and I coughed violently a few times, and hurriedly put the tomb beast on the bed.

I settled my mind and said to Shijie, "It's useless if I want this, but you'd better not keep this thing, it's heavy, unlucky, and the antique dealer hasn't heard of this either" Shijie walked to the bed, picked up the three-headed monster, looked at it carefully, didn't say a word, turned his back to me, his shadow writhed and cast on the wall, as if to merge with the shadow of the tomb beast, "The money is only given to you when I come back from Shanxi" Shijie didn't turn back, every word seemed to burst out of the tomb beast's mouth. I hurriedly exited the house, still palpitating, but luckily, I didn't see it again after that day.
