The Sixteenth Story: Past and Present (12)
"What about you? What is your role in this story? "I asked Xiao Hei definitely.
Xiao Hei looked at me for a long time with flickering eyes, and said slowly, "I'm just a bystander." ”
"Liar! You are a water unicorn, doesn't it have anything to do with my identity as a dragon girl in my previous life? I looked him in the eye and pressed on.
Xiao Hei raised his head and looked at me, his eyes were full of sadness, and he said, "I...... He used to be Canglong's subordinate, and after Bi You's death, he was responsible for guarding your reincarnation in every life until Han Qi was released from the Lock Demon Tower. ”
I said with a sour heart: "Every life? How many lives have you kept? ”
Xiao Hei said lightly: "I don't remember, it's been too long, too long." ”
I stopped talking and looked at Gao Taowu standing on the side, his eyes had never left me, but I had long forgotten who he was......
After listening to the stories of the ancient period told by Xiao Hei, I always felt that there were some loopholes in them that were unreasonable. Coupled with what Sima Jingde said to me before, I can't help but have doubts. He had hinted to me that Hei had other intentions for me, and that his "purpose" was the same.
If it is really as Xiao Hei said: He is to protect me until Han Qi comes out of the tower, then Sima Jingde is also for one? Definitely not, I'm like a weed in a whirlpool, anyone can uproot me, and I don't have any ability to resist......
Who should I trust? Or can't anyone believe it? Xiao Hei, Sima Jingde, and Gao Taowu all have special abilities, and I don't know anything except some of the methods that Xiao Hei taught me to get rid of ghosts.
My adoptive father and adoptive mother are very old, and since I am now the center of the storm, it is only right for me to stay away from them for their safety. I discussed with Xiao Hei and wanted to move outside, and he also felt that in this situation, I should go out and live independently.
So the next day, Xiao Hei took on a human form and went to the suburbs with me to see a few independent houses. One of the environments is not bad, it's just too expensive. It's too much luxury for me as a salaryman.
But Xiao Hei said to the landlord: We will rent this place, I looked at him, and he signaled to me that it didn't matter. The landlord drew up the contract for me to sign, I looked at Xiao Hei hesitantly, who knew that he took out a dozen cash from his body and said to me: "Hurry up and sign it, we have to go back and move!" ”
In this way, we successfully rented the house, and after the landlord left, I said to Xiao Hei, "Where did you get the money?" ”
Xiao Hei mysteriously stretched out a hand, only to see that there was suddenly a dozen more cash in his hand, and then he stretched out another one, and conjured up a dozen cash...... I was almost stunned, could it be that Xiao Hei is a universal ATM?
When he saw the money in my eyes, he said, "It will only last for a quarter of an hour, and then it will disappear!" ”
"Ahh At that moment, the landlord didn't come to us to settle the account? "As soon as I heard it, I was anxious, what kind of thing is this?
But Xiao Hei said confidently: "Don't worry, I have already calculated it, the landlord just now has three minutes of longevity, so I urge you to sign quickly, he is destined to be found a few years after his death." We lived in his house for a few years, and it was good to help him collect his body. ”
Sure enough, we found the landlord's body in a vegetable patch not far from the house, perhaps suddenly, with fresh vegetables freshly picked in his hands. Xiao Hei pointed with his hand, and the two big trees on the side turned into a wood-colored coffin, and we buried the landlord in a hurry.
But I always feel unsteady in my heart, is this okay? What if his relatives come to him?
Xiao Hei asked me to put one hundred and twenty hearts, this person has no children and no daughters, and his only sister died in a car accident a few years ago. Now the people who can think of him are afraid that they can only pay the water and electricity bills, as long as we pay the bills on time, no one will care about his existence.
It's pitiful to think about him, if people live to this extent, it's really better to die early and be reincarnated! If I still live in this house during the Qingming Festival in the future, I think I will burn some paper money for him, and it will all be paid rent.
In this way, my parents and I made up a reason and moved out. And since Xiao Hei lived in this house, he no longer sees people as cats. He had changed into the appearance of picking me up at the door of the hotel that day, tall, handsome, and with a serious face.
And Gao Taowu still follows me stupidly every day, but he still listens to some of the things I say occasionally. For example, I told him that he couldn't follow me during work hours, so he just stood outside the antique store and waited for me, even if it was windy and rainy outside.
I thought that this was not the solution, so I said to him again: let him pick me up when he goes to work and after work, but I didn't expect him to do it too! It seems that he is not as difficult to communicate as Xiao Hei said?
But Xiao Hei came and went without a trace day by day, and he didn't know what he was doing? I'm always apprehensive about my current life. I feel like I'm earning every day, and I don't know when something will suddenly happen, and I was caught off guard.
"Wei Li, you hurt me so badly! How can you still live so freely? I won't let you go, never...... Hahaha! "I sat down on the bed in a cold sweat, just now in a dream, why did a woman call me Wei Li?
Perhaps it was my shout that alarmed Xiao Hei next door, who quickly appeared in my room, while Gao Taowu, who had been sitting in a tree outside, also jumped in through the window...... For two handsome guys who appear at the same time, if it were an ordinary girl, it would be very happy, but I am not as happy as that blessing......
Xiao Hei asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" What did you dream about? ”
I shook my head and said, "It's a mess, it's blurry...... Remember nothing. But in the end, it seems that a woman called me Wei Li? Say I killed her? How could I have such a dream? ”
Xiao Hei's face changed, as if he was thinking about something, turned around and walked to the window and looked around...... Then he turned back to me and said, "You have to be careful these days, maybe that female ghost in red has found here!" ”
"You say Wei Li? Why did she come to me? If she comes, tell her the truth, tell her about Sima Xunde, and tell her not to come to me again! "I don't owe her! How could she keep pestering me?
I looked at Blackie, but his gaze was a little evasive, and it was clear that something was all over me. I thought of how often he played missing these days and asked him, "What are you doing these days?" Why can't I see you when I'm old? ”
"I'm working on some personal issues." Xiao Hei said blandly.
Hehe, I'm really curious that he still has personal questions? Just ask him, "What personal questions?" Can you tell me? ”
Who knew that he didn't want to think about it, so he replied with two words: "Can't!" Then he turned and walked out of the room. And the "stupid big man" Gao Taowu saw that Xiao Hei was gone, and he jumped into the tree outside again......
I looked at these two guys and there must have been something that wasn't telling me!
Outside the room, Xiao Hei jumped up and jumped onto the tree and sat beside Gao Taowu: "It was really dangerous just now, I didn't expect this slut to be able to break through my enchantment." ”
Gao Taowu snorted coldly and said, "If it had been before, I would have slapped her in the face!" ”
Xiao Hei looked nervous and said, "No, I can't let Danzhu know the truth of the matter now." This is her last life, and I hope she can live happily......"
Gao Taowu nodded in agreement, no longer spoke, but kept silently staring at the room with the lights on, for a long time, he didn't take his eyes off it......
