The Twelfth Story: The Thousand-Eyed Bodhi (1)

Zhao Jiuzheng finally succeeded in getting rid of his wife and came to Dali, the city of sexual encounters, alone.

Before marrying him, his wife was a famous beauty in the unit. The combination of the two really made a large number of single dogs leap into glasses. Zhao Jiuzheng also felt extremely proud of this!

And now, the aura of the goddess of the past has long since receded, and living together will also make people's shortcomings infinitely magnified. What's more, he often asks himself now, is this woman really the woman he loved back then?

The embarrassment of life and the trivial matters of the family made the sweet love between the two cool down instantly. In addition, his wife stopped working after marriage, and the former capable female white-collar workers have long disappeared...... Only the fat, unkempt, sloppy, calculating, and nagging married "female nerves" are left.

For his current wife, Zhao Jiuzheng's boredom is almost beyond words, and he dreams of turning back into a happy bachelor! But the word "divorce" is too ugly and ugly, and he doesn't want people who envied him before to turn to laugh at him now.

The trip to Yunnan was agreed upon when he and his wife first got married, and it was originally a romantic trip for the two, but now it has become his own ** trip.

Zhao Jiuzheng's wife is called Song Nansheng, who is originally from Yunnan. When he was 10 years old, he and his parents moved to the north. So when he first met Nan Sheng, he felt that she had both the gentleness and affection of a southern woman and the enthusiasm and boldness of a northern woman. But the funny thing is that in his eyes, the current Nan Sheng has both the suspiciousness and nagging of southern women, and the toughness and unreasonableness of northern women!

This has really become the red roses and white roses of Zhang Ailing's pen, when you love, the red is amazing, and the white is holy. When you don't love it, red becomes a smear of mosquito blood, and white becomes a dazzling rice sticky.

Zhao Jiuzheng may have loved him, but he loves himself the most after all.

Before the person set off, his heart had already flown to the city thousands of miles away. He simply brought two changes of clothes, and when he left, he also brought his wife's "Thousand-Eyed Bodhi".

Nan Sheng's "Thousand-Eyed Bodhi" has some origins, it was passed down to her by her grandmother, it is 12 centimeters high, and in addition to the common "black eyes", there is also a red pattern that resembles an eye. Zhao Jiuzheng liked it very much when he saw it for the first time, but because of what Nansheng's grandmother passed on to her, he was embarrassed to ask her.

Dali is really a beautiful place, Zhao Jiuzheng is like a backpacker, walking around, playing and walking. In the afternoon, he came to the Three Pagoda Temple opposite the Erhai Lake, which is also called Chongsheng Temple, and is named after the three ancient pagodas in the temple. The Santa Temple is backed by Cangshan Mountain, facing the Erhai Lake, and the scenery is majestic and magnificent. After Zhao Jiuzheng came out of the Three Pagoda Temple, he found a small inn on the edge of Erhai Lake to stay, and the name of the inn was "Guanhai Pavilion".

Although the scale of the inn is not large, the innkeeper is as enthusiastic as fire, which makes Zhao Jiuzheng, who has just come to Dali, inevitably feel a little springy......

After dinner, he flirted with the proprietress "Yun Niang" at the front desk, chatting without a word.

He asked the proprietress a little ambiguously: "Sister Yun Niang, is there any place near here where I can go to play at night?" ”

Yun Niang smiled charmingly: "Of course there is!" There's no shortage of places like the ones you said. ”

As soon as he heard Yun Niang's words, he suddenly felt itchy: "Really! Then tell me how to go, I have eaten too much for dinner, and I have to go out to eat. ”

Yun Niang glanced at him lightly and said, "It's not far from here, go out and turn right, and there is an antique alley at the end, just go through the alley." ”

Zhao Jiuzheng happily threw a flying kiss with Yun Niang, hummed a little song and left the inn. According to the route Yun Niang said, he quickly found the somewhat mysterious alley. It's really similar to what Yun Niang said, and there is a little more mystery in the antique.

When he turned into the alley, he saw that there were many locals setting up stalls on the ground, selling strange things.

He looked east and west. Suddenly, an old voice sounded beside Zhao Jiuzheng: "Young man, do you want to buy "Tongxin Fruit"? ”

Zhao Jiuzheng looked back and saw a white-haired old lady squatting next to an old wooden door, holding a bundle of 'Thousand-Eyed Bodhi' in her hand.

"Concentric fruit? Isn't this called Thousand-Eyed Bodhi? Zhao Caizheng stepped forward, squatted in front of the old man, and looked at the thousand-eyed Bodhi in her hand.

The old lady lifted her wrinkled face and said to him with a smile, "Yes, it is also called Thousand-Eyed Bodhi, and it is also called Tongxinguo." ”

Zhao Jiuzheng remembered that his wife's thousand-eyed Bodhi was on him, so he took it out and showed it to the old lady: "Mother-in-law, what do you think of this concentric fruit of mine?" ”

The old lady's face changed when she saw this concentric fruit in Zhao Jiuzheng's hand: "This concentric fruit is extraordinary!" Young man, how did you get there? ”

Zhao Jiuzheng's eyes flashed and said, "Our family heirloom." How much do you think this is worth? ”

The old lady smiled and said, "This thing is not worth much, it is just important to those who need it." ”

"Worthless?" Zhao Jiuzheng immediately lost interest in this thing when he heard that it was worthless, but he asked unwillingly: "That's worth more than these in your hand, right?" ”

The old lady nodded and said, "That's nature, you have a red eye on this concentric fruit, and the eyes are burning like flames, and this eye is called 'Phoenix Eye'." It's a rarity among the Thousand Eyes Bodhi. And," said this, the old lady looked at Zhao Jiuzheng in a stunned tone.

As soon as he heard that the old lady didn't say anything, he asked a little anxiously, "And what?" ”

The old lady looked at the thousand-eyed Bodhi in her hand and smiled. Zhao Jiuzheng immediately understood what she meant, so he said to her: "Mother-in-law, as long as you tell me what you know, I will buy a few thousand-eyed Bodhi in your hand." As he spoke, he took out 200 yuan and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady naturally took the money happily, took out four thousand-eyed super Bodhi from her middle hand and handed them to Zhao Jiuzheng.

Zhao Jiuzheng took the Bodhi in her hand and said, "Now you can say it." ”

The old lady sighed and said to him, "Young man, this thousand-eyed Bodhi with a 'phoenix eye' in your hand is also called 'Fire Eye Concentric Fruit'. Gu said that if a woman wears it, then the man she loves will never change her mind. And when men wear it, they will continue to peach blossoms. However, we must be cautious and not refuse everything, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to predict. ”

Looking at the fire eye 'concentric fruit' in his hand, Zhao Jiuzheng felt this beauty in his heart, and now what he lacked most was peach blossoms. If it can really be used as well as the old lady said, then it is really him Zhao Jiuzheng who has picked up a treasure!

After thanking the old lady, he walked through the alley and came to the place that Yun Niang said. It used to be a bar street. There aren't many people on the street, and there are a few bars that are open. Looking at this bleak street, Zhao Jiuzheng was suddenly a little disappointed.

"Alas!" A delicate woman's voice rang in her ears. When he looked up, it turned out to be a beautiful woman in a short red skirt who had accidentally inserted her heel into the manhole cover of the sewer and couldn't pull it out. When she was in great distress, Zhao Jiuzheng stepped forward in time to help.

He came up to the beautiful woman, crouched down, pulled the woman's foot out of the heel, placed it on his knee, and then easily pulled out the heel that was stuck in the ground with his hand.

The woman looked at him with a blushing face, her apricot lips opened slightly, and she said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, it's a trivial matter." Zhao Jiuzheng said crisply.

The woman's hand rested on his shoulder, put on her high heels again, looked at him with a smile and said, "You are playing alone?" ”

Zhao Jiuzheng is not stupid, how could he not hear such an obvious hint? smiled and said, "Yes, I came to Dali to play alone?" Let's get to know each other, hello, my name is Zhao Jiuzheng. With that, he stretched out his hand to shake the woman's hand.

The woman smiled, held his hand and said, "Hello, you call me An Hong, I also came to Dali to play alone." ”

When Zhao Jiuzheng heard that the beauty was also a person, his heart suddenly burst into joy: "Where is fate, is it fate to meet thousands of miles away?" Hehe......"

An Hong glanced at Zhao Jiuzheng with her big eyes, and said charmingly: "Fate is the most unreliable thing, if you really believe in it, then one day, you don't know how you died." ”

Zhao Jiuzheng said indifferently: "If you can really meet such a fate, it will be a beautiful thing!" ”

After listening to his words, An Hong didn't squeak, but just looked at him fixedly for a while. Then he pointed to the bar across the street and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink!" ”

But Zhao Jiuzheng said gentlemanly: "Why are you embarrassed to let a beautiful woman invite me?" I'll invite you, go! ”

The two of them entered a bar called "LoseDemon" one after the other, and the bar was dimly lit, and several people were drinking in it, and the stereo was playing low, seductive music. Zhao Jiuzheng and An Hong picked some seats inside and sat down.

The two ordered two bottles of beer and chatted and laughed...... An Hong is an enthusiastic woman, and her love for Zhao Jiuzheng has long been revealed between her words, which is in his arms, Zhao Jiuzheng stroked the "Fire Eye Concentric Fruit" in his pocket with his hand, and was secretly proud in his heart, it seems that the old lady's words are really true!

After a bottle of beer, An Hong was three points drunk, and she looked at Zhao Jiuzheng with confused eyes, as if asking, "What are you waiting for?" Zhao Jiuzheng smiled knowingly, and helped An Hong out of the bar after settling the bill.

Like this, it is inconvenient for Zhao Jiuzheng to bring people back to the inn where he lives, which will leave a lot of hidden dangers. In the hourly room not far from the bar, the two lingered all night......

When he woke up in the morning, Zhao Jiuzheng felt that his body was about to sink to the ground. When he touched his side, it was cold and there was no trace of popularity. It seems that An Hong is also a smart woman, and she disappeared before he woke up.

So tired, Zhao Jiuzheng is a little strange that he has never been so tired! He looked at the few condoms on the ground, could it be that he was really overindulged last night? But thinking about last night, he really can't get enough of it...... An Hong is really a passionate woman.

He got up and got dressed, tilted his head, and saw a note on the bedside table with a string of phone numbers written on it, and it turned out to be a landline number? Nothing else.

After returning to the inn, she met the proprietress Yun Niang, and when she saw Zhao Jiuzheng, she screamed strangely: "Brother, look at your face, didn't you work too hard last night?" ”

He touched his face and asked Yun Niang, "What?" Do I have a bad complexion? ”

Yun Niang nodded and said, "It looks very tired, you can go back to the house and sleep!" ”

"I need to go back to sleep, the girl from last night was so enthusiastic!" He said evilly.

Yun Niang nudged him with a smile, who knew that he was a little unstable and wanted to fall to the ground, but fortunately there was a staircase handrail in front of him, so he took advantage of the situation to go up the stairs. When he returned to the room, he was a little apprehensive, what was wrong with him? When did it become so bad?

Forget it, don't think about it, just get some sleep. Zhao Jiuzheng didn't even have time to take off his clothes, so he fell asleep. I don't know how long he slept this night, but when he woke up, it was dark.

He got out of bed feeling better, and his stomach was a little hungry, so he went out of the inn and ate some casual dinner at the food stall outside.

After eating, he came to Erhai Lake for a walk, and as he walked, he thought of An Hong again, and thought of last night's ......"**" As the name suggests, there was only one night, but Zhao Jiuzheng couldn't help but think of all the things last night, which made him really itchy......

As a result, he came to the bar street again, the same street, the same bar, the same location, but unfortunately the Yiren were not there. Zhao Jiuzheng really wanted to dial the phone number that An Hong left him last night. But reason warned him again: "The object of ** is resolutely unable to meet again!" ”

"Huh...... Scold...... Heh" A hearty laugh came from the next seat. Somewhat familiar, he turned around slowly, and saw An Hong sitting next to a foreign man, talking and laughing, she was talking to the man in fluent French.

Although Zhao Jiuzheng didn't understand anything, he was deeply attracted by An Hong's charming temperament. He got up and walked behind An Hong and looked at her with a smile. An Hong saw Zhao Jiuzheng behind him from the eyes of a foreign man.

"Hey, such a coincidence? Another person today? An Hong looked surprised.

Zhao Jiuzheng nodded with a smile and said, "It's a pity that you are not alone today." ”

An Hong pursed her lips and chuckled: "Come, let me introduce you, this is Alan from France, you can call him Ah Lang." This is my friend, you and his name are Ah Zheng. ”

Hearing that An Hong's introductions to each other were not very formal, Zhao Jiuzheng understood that she didn't want to know too much between the two men. said to An Hong: "Do you have time tomorrow night?" I'll treat you to dinner. ”

An Hong thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Jiuzheng with ulterior motives: "There is time, but you have to think about it, I'm afraid that you will regret it then." ”

Zhao Jiuzheng shook his head with laughter and said bluntly: "No, I dare to do it!" Don't bother you to chat, tomorrow this time, let's see you here? ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow"

Zhao Jiuzheng turned around and walked out of the bar, but he didn't see An Hong say coldly, "No-see-no-disperse-yo!" Hmph......"

After returning to the inn, he took out the "Fire Eye Concentric Fruit" on his body to play with, but inadvertently found that the phoenix eyes on the concentric fruit became more and more red.

Because of his date with An Hong, Zhao Jiuzheng did not go to the next attraction the next day, but chose to stay in this small inn on the edge of Erhai Lake, eating a few specialty dishes of the proprietress Yun Niang.

"Sister Yun Niang, these dishes of yours taste really good, tsk, it's not worse than the star chefs in those big restaurants!"

Yun Niang smiled and said, "Yes, don't say what I like to hear, tell me how about your affair last night?" ”

Zhao Jiuzheng shook his head and said, "I was a good baby last night, and I came back to sleep early!" ”

Yun Niang looked around and saw that there was no one, so she said to him: "Fortunately, you came back early yesterday, you don't know, last night in the hourly hotel on the side of the bar street, a foreigner died!" ”

When Zhao Jiuzheng heard this, he asked her, "What?" How did he die? ”

"The owner of the inn was a friend of mine, and he said that a woman in a short red dress had gone in with him. I haven't seen either of them come out. But when the waiter went to clean in the morning, he saw the man die in the room, and the way of death was quite terrifying! The scared waiter fainted at the time. Yun Niang herself was scared.

"What kind of terror law?" The more Yun Niang didn't say it directly, the more curious Zhao Jiuzheng became.

When he asked Yun Niang, she couldn't tell clearly, but said: "She didn't see it with her own eyes, but she just heard the innkeeper say: The corpses were all pieced together, and finally the police took them away with body bags." ”

The woman in red, a foreigner, Zhao Jiuzheng thought: Why is it so similar to An Hong and Alang last night? He hurriedly asked Yun Niang, can you ask her friend to help take a look at the photo on the identity certificate that the foreigner used when he registered in their hotel? Because he also happened to have a foreign friend playing in Dali. and directly told Yun Niang that his friend was French.

Yun Niang agreed, she made a phone call, and after a while, she received a picture on her phone. She handed the phone to Zhao Jiuzheng to look at, and he was stunned at a glance, although the lights in the bar were dim last night, he still recognized the person in the picture at a glance, it was the Frenchman named Alang.

Seeing Zhao Jiuzheng's somewhat pale face, Yun Niang guessed that this foreigner was the French friend he was talking about. She tentatively asked Zhao Jiuzheng, do you want to go to the Public Security Bureau to identify the body?

But Zhao Jiuzheng looked at Yun Niang a little overwhelmed, he didn't have any acquaintances in this unfamiliar place, and Yun Niang was the most familiar. He really didn't know whether to tell Yun Niang about it, but now there was no one else who could help him.

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Yun Niang knew that he was not very familiar with this foreigner, in Dali, maybe he was a stranger one second, and the next second he was a friend who had nothing to say...... But they can't get to know each other as real friends. So he said to him, "If you don't want to go, don't go, you may be scared and can't sleep." ”

"Sister Yun Niang, what if I say that I don't know foreigners well, but I know the woman who is with him?" Zhao Jiuzheng struggled with his thoughts for a long time, and finally told Yun Niang and Pan what happened last night.

"What? Brother, this is no joke! Yun Niang said with some horror.

Zhao Jiuzheng was also a little embarrassed and said, "That woman was the first day I came here. And then just, and then ......" Zhao Jiuzheng was embarrassed to say the sentence "happening**".

Of course, Yun Niang understood what he meant, waved her hand and said, "The single dogs who come to Dali to play are all sensory animals, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about." But there are some things that only we locals know, and we say from the tourists who come to play. I think you are also a real person, and I only told you that I treated you as a friend, and this is the third person to die in the past few months! If you're going to actually meet that woman, you've got to be careful! ”

"The third one?" Zhao Jiuzheng was really shocked into a cold sweat, and his voice trembled a little and said to Yun Niang: "Sister Yun Niang, can you ask your friend to show me the surveillance that night." ”

Although Yun Niang's face was embarrassed, she still nodded and said, "I'll take you to try it." ”

In the afternoon, there were not many guests in the inn, and Yun Niang used her small electric motorcycle to carry Zhao Jiuzheng to the small hotel where the accident occurred. After entering the door, Yun Niang asked him to wait at the front desk for a while, and she went in first to say hello to her friends.

Yun Niang came out after a while, she beckoned to Zhao Jiuzheng and motioned for him to come in. Zhao Jiuzheng hurriedly walked in, and there was a small office inside. There was a man sitting next to the computer, but he looked a little girly.

Yun Niang pointed at Zhao Jiuzheng, and then said to the man, "Brother Bao, I'm talking about him." ”

The man raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhao Jiuzheng, and then patted the chair next to him and said, "Do it." ”

Zhao Jiuzheng sat down politely, he just wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he saw the man "snap" and lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and then looked at him and said: "This matter is so evil, I heard that this happened in someone else's store before, but I didn't expect that I could also do it." ”

It turned out that after the accident, the police retrieved the surveillance video of that night and watched it, but as soon as the video was opened, everyone was stupefied. There are no beauties in red dresses in the video at all, and they are foreigners from beginning to end. But the waiter at the front desk will not be mistaken, there is obviously a woman who came with a foreigner, and she also registered the identity certificates of two people at that time. Unexpectedly, when the waiter reported the ID number of the beautiful woman in the red dress to the police, the police found that this woman turned out to be An Hong, the victim of a '** corpse splitting case' three years ago! This frightened the people in the hotel, not to mention the guests scared away, and even the waiters who worked here had two said they were going to quit!

In the end, Zhao Jiuzheng considered the seriousness of the situation, so he went to the Public Security Bureau with Yun Niang. I told the police about seeing the woman in the red dress before. Officer Li is the police officer in charge of this case, and after listening to Zhao Jiuzheng's account, he pondered for a moment, and then called someone to send the file of the '** corpse dismemberment case' three years ago.

Officer Li took out a photo of the victim before his death and handed it to Zhao Jiuzheng. When he took it, his hands trembled a little.

"That's her! Is she really dead? Zhao Jiuzheng asked Officer Li in disbelief.

Officer Li nodded and said to him, "The phone number you provided is the landline number of An Hong's house, but it has long been shut down now." Then he briefly introduced An Hong's situation: "An Hong has been an orphan since she was a child, and after graduating from university, she has been working in Shenzhen. Three years ago, she came to Yunnan alone for a tour, and was killed in Dali, and no one has come to claim her body......"

Yun Niang said with some regret: "It's also a poor woman, so how did she get killed?" ”

Officer Li glanced at the file and said: "Gu was in charge of the investigation of the colleague at the time, An Hong was drinking alone in a bar, and then was taken away by a strange man, and when it was finally found, the body was put into a sack and thrown into Erhai Lake, the cause of death was suffocation by someone who strangled his strength, and he was raped first and then killed, and the suspect also cruelly divided An Hong's body into several pieces. ”

"So did this case finally crack?" Zhao Jiuzheng asked.

Officer Li shook his head and said: "Because the flow of people in Dali is too large, and almost all of them are tourists who come and leave in a few days, and the method of this case is quite random and has no regularity. The suspect did not leave the slightest trace, which brought considerable difficulty to solving the case, so the case has not been solved so far. ”

"Is it because she feels that she has died unjustly, and she has never gotten Zhaoxue, so her ghost has come out to take revenge on those men who like to play **?" Yun Niang asked a little to herself.

Zhao Jiuzheng's heart chilled when he heard this, if it wasn't for the appearance of Ah Lang last night, then maybe he would have died! Why didn't she do it to herself on the first night?

After He Yunniang left the Public Security Bureau, the doubts in Zhao Jiuzheng's heart increased instead of decreasing. What to do tonight? What about the 'see or leave'? If An Hong was really a ghost, he really didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Back in the inn, Yun Niang poured Zhao Jiuzheng a glass of wine to suppress his shock, and after taking a sip of wine, he felt that the panic in his heart was somewhat relieved. Seeing that it is about to get dark, tonight will definitely be a long night.

Due to the fear in his heart, Zhao Jiuzheng did not go out to eat for dinner, but ordered a few side dishes made by Yun Niang in the inn, but he was a little uneasy.

"Love ...... when you die" was eating when his mobile phone rang. He took it out and looked at it: it was an unfamiliar landline number, but it looked a little familiar. Suddenly, he remembered that this was not the phone number An Hong left for him?

Zhao Jiuzheng's hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground. Yun Niang was settling accounts when she heard the sound of her phone falling to the ground, so she looked up and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"She, her phone." Zhao Jiuzheng's voice trembled a little due to fear.

Yun Niang didn't understand, so she asked him with a smile: "Whose phone is it?" ”

"Ann-Red."

Yun Niang heard Zhao Jiuzheng say these two words, and her face changed: "It won't be so evil, right?" She walked out of the counter, picked up the phone on the floor, and saw that it was a list of landline numbers, she hesitated for a moment and hung up

The noisy bell stopped abruptly, and the room suddenly became surprisingly quiet. Yun Niang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Jiuzheng: "It's okay, don't scare yourself." ”

But before he could finish speaking, the phone rang again. This time, it shows the word "wife". Yun Niang was sarcastic in her heart: Another stealing man with a wife and a wife. She quietly handed the phone to Zhao Jiuzheng.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Jiuzheng saw the caller ID, his face became even paler. Yun Niang saw that he was so nervous, and knew that this was his wife who came to check the post, so she walked away without saying anything.

After seeing Yun Niang return to the counter to continue calculating her account, Zhao Jiuzheng hung up the phone without hesitation, and quickly removed the battery in the mobile phone.

Zhao Jiuzheng was no longer in the mood to eat, and he returned to his room in a panic. I threw myself on the bed, thinking that I would fall asleep quickly and get through the long dark night safely.

But because he was so scared, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. Suddenly, he felt a hard object on his waist and took it out to see that it was his wife's thousand-eyed Bodhi, and he put it in his hand to look at it carefully. Suddenly, I found that I don't know when it started, the "phoenix eye" was red as if it was bleeding......

To be continued
