Zhong Hai is a craftsman, he doesn't think he is a liar, he walks the streets and alleys to look at his mobile phone and criticize the eight characters, this is his practice. Being in the red dust, seeing more people, knowing people, and arguing people, can taste the three flavors of red dust.

He himself has only one life, and for decades, it is better to experience it from the lives of others than from himself.

Zhong Hai was an ordinary person before he was thirty years old. His experience is quite complicated, and the first half can be written as a novel www.biquge.info Fun Pavilion.

Zhong Hai graduated from a prestigious university, and then smoothly entered the government to work, got married and had children, and his life was smooth sailing, which made people envious, jealous and hateful.

But the lifeless days of the agency made Zhong Hai, who was full of energy at the time, very unaccustomed, he was not interested in patting the leader's sycophants, nor was he interested in intriguing with colleagues, anyway, in the agency, he was very qualified, his academic qualifications were very hard, and he was also very good, about his life, he could see what retirement was like at a glance from now.

In the two years of the institution, Zhong Hai finished more than 1,000 books in the library. After that, he took a leave of absence to take the graduate school exam, and after the exam, he resigned and began to resell antiques.

Zhong Hai has never missed, and he earned tens of millions of family businesses in less than two years.

But two years later, Zhong Hai resolutely divorced his wife, left all the money he earned to his parents, wife and children, and left with a backpack on his back.

Because he was "enlightened".

Wind, water, phase, difference. For ordinary people, this is called superstition, and Zhong Hai didn't believe it before he touched the door, but after he touched the door, he had to believe it.

Since there are really such miracles in the world, can people really cultivate immortals? Is it really possible to step through the void?

For Zhong Hai, the wealth, power, power, and sex in the world are all at his fingertips, so he is not rare at all. He now understands why the ancient emperor would seek immortality, because now this is the only one that can stimulate his nerves!

Although Zhong Hai was penniless on the road, he soon earned money by buying and selling antiques, and thus obtained the first feng shui object in his life: an inch-long broken knife.

This little thing is inconspicuous, and no one picks it up when it is thrown on the ground. Zhong Hai could feel the slightest chill overflowing from it. He didn't know what the broken knife could do, so he took it with him.

Then I saw four rounds of blood in a week.

For the first time. A piece of glass from upstairs suddenly fell right behind him, and the flying glass stubble cut through the base of his ear, almost hurting his blood vessels. On that occasion, he went to the hospital for seventeen stitches. The one that fell off the glass was an empty house, the owner of the house was long gone, and it was said that the son was earning dollars outside, and there was no one there. He could only admit that he was unlucky.

Second. In broad daylight, on the flat ground, he came down from the square, just three steps, there was a child skating behind him, did not hit him, it was he who felt someone flash to the side, stepped into the air, the whole person "horn" on the ground horizontally, hit his head on the edge of the pool next to him, knocked off two molars. Afterwards, the child's mother brought the child to apologize and compensate him for his medical expenses. Zhong Hai didn't ask for it, because the child really didn't hit him, it was he who didn't stand firm. But after this time, he began to feel that something was wrong.

The third time. The garbage truck wiped a Toyota Jeep. The jeep owner couldn't afford to pay for the garbage truck, so he didn't ask the driver to lose money. Zhong Hai was an innocent passer-by from beginning to end, just after the jeep drove away, the hook in the back compartment of the garbage truck was loose, and Zhong Hai, who was crossing the street, was smashed by garbage and was sent to the hospital for half a month. Medical expenses...... He didn't ask the driver of the garbage truck either.

Finally, this time, he had already realized that it might be a problem with the broken knife. But he couldn't just throw it away, and he couldn't sell it to others. It was a fierce blade, and he had to find a way to eliminate it. So he found out which family in the village collected scrap iron and would make his own farm tools, so he mixed the broken knife in a bag of iron wire he bought, and took it to ask someone to melt it for him on the spot, and he wanted to see the broken knife turn into molten iron with his own eyes.

As a result, the broken knife was mixed in the wire and poured into the refining furnace together, and when the spark burst up, Zhong Hai only felt something fly near his temple, and then there was a burst of coolness, and when he reached out and touched it, it was the blood of his hand.

So he went to the hospital again. This time it was a bit dangerous, and it was said that it almost flew into his eyeball, and if it really shot in his head, he would die on the spot.

Since, Zhong Hai didn't dare to throw this broken knife away, so he could only carry it with him every day, and then while trying to find something to suppress it, he was also looking for a way to deal with it safely.

The copper gossip mirror was found at that time, and the price of inviting it down was more than 8 million, which can be called crazy. And this mirror is obviously imitated by later generations, at least the rough copper pointer on it is not the original standard configuration of the Bagua Mirror. But as soon as Zhong Hai saw its pointer pointing crookedly at him (the broken knife in his arms), he made up his mind to buy it!

With this gossip mirror, he used it to invite back a stone bowl, an iron nail, and a tiger card. By the time Tiger arrived, he had been out for fourteen years, nine years since he got the broken knife. At this time, he already knew what to do with the broken knife, not to burn it, but to find a popular place to bury it in the soil, the more people, the better the effect. After a long time, the fierce aura on the broken knife will slowly dissipate. At this time, it must not be buried in an inaccessible place, and the more people there are, the better. Because at this time, the people in this realm are the only fierce and domineering things between heaven and earth, and no one is powerful in other plants, trees, birds, beasts, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. Or in another 10,000 years, the world will be dominated by another life, but now people are the masters. Compared with people, the ferocity of a broken knife is not enough to mention.

But Zhong Hai was reluctant at this time, he always felt that this fierce blade would be useful.

It has only been nearly a year since Zhong Hai collected little ghosts and monsters. He couldn't see it before, even if there was a gossip mirror to show him the way, how could he catch it?

Later, when he discovered that a stone bowl could hold things, he grabbed it with a stone bowl.

At first, he didn't know how to use these little ghosts and monsters, so he ignorantly put the iron nails and tiger cards into the stone bowl in turn, and then found out that the iron nails can fix the ghosts, but nothing else, it can't absorb the demonic breath of the little ghosts and monsters; Tiger also cannot be absorbed, only suppressed.

There is only a stone bowl, but it can slowly "swallow" those imps and monsters.

Zhong Hai will find out that it is because he put the little ghost or monster into the stone bowl and took the tiger brand to suppress it, and after two days, he used the gossip mirror to point it out, but he couldn't point it out.

After that, he no longer used stone bowls to hold things, unless he caught a murderous object.

Zhong Hai had heard of the Babao Temple, which was said to be a place where there were all monks who practiced the Tao, and he wanted to go up to pay a visit, but he felt that he was not a Taoist, a Buddha or a Buddha, and he didn't know how to report himself to his home.

Until the Bagua Mirror began to point to the Babao Temple persistently on that day, the hexagram needle shook non-stop, as if it was about to fly away.

Zhong Hai arrived with the Bafeng Mirror, and as soon as he got out of the station, the Bagua Mirror buzzed.

Zhong Hai caught the little ghost, and after seeing the direction, he put the broken knife, tiger and iron nail in the east, west, and south triangles respectively, and stood in the north corner with the stone bowl himself, and after a while, he saw the gossip mirror pointing to the stone bowl in his hand.

After he caught five or six of them in this way, suddenly the gossip mirror trembled wildly again. He hurriedly put his things in order, held the stone bowl and waited, but he heard a voice: "Ah! ”

It's a human voice!

Zhong Hai was startled, and quickly looked left and right, and found that although it was the same as before, people passing by regarded him as a fool, but it didn't look like someone was talking to him.

He held the stone bowl and said tentatively, "Who are you?" ”

There was no answer in the stone bowl, he thought for a moment and said, "My bowl has magical powers, and it can swallow you." Tell me who you are, and I'll let you live! ”

He waited a long time. It could be just a minute, or it could be an hour. Only he knows how fast his heart beats while waiting for the contents of the stone bowl to speak!

The stone bowl finally spoke.

It was the voice of a young man with a slight hesitation.

"Hello, did you take me?"

Zhong Hai felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart!

He stood by the side of the road, looking like a crying and laughing, and all the passers-by who passed him quickened their pace, fearing that he was a psychotic who was about to get sick. But these mortals don't know! What is in his hands!

If only one could remain sane after death! That means that even if a person's life ends one day, "man" can live forever!

In this way, even if it is not immortal, it has already escaped birth, old age, sickness and death.

Zhong Hai has always wanted to put the thing in the stone bowl.

And the "people" in the bowl seem to be a little simple, always asking what to answer.

But he only remembered what happened after his death, and he didn't remember anything before his death. When asked who his master was, he said, "A master is a master."

Zhong Hai couldn't ask why he was going over and over again, so he wanted to find another one, maybe the other one could only say a little more. So although he was worried that the owner of the bowl would come to the door and try to get it back, greed prevailed.

On the way to the Eight Treasures Temple, Zhong Hai was still asking the contents of the bowl, "Do you know where we are going?" It's Hapaoji Temple, do you remember Hapaoji Temple? ”

Yi Huang was about to lose his strength in the stone bowl. This bowl is indeed a bit strange, he heard this person call it a stone bowl, but Yi Huang touched the bottom of the bowl, and felt that it was not like a stone, but like a gold object, but he didn't know whether it was gold or silver, copper or iron, or alloy, and what it was.

He knew that this person was afraid that he would be able to resist, so even if he said that the stone bowl would be "swallowed", he refused to let him come out, and kept scaring him, "Tell me about your master, and let the bowl eat you if you don't know!" ”

Hearing that he was going to the Eight Treasures Temple, Yi Huang reflexively thought of Qin Qing.

But he remembered that Qin Qing was not exactly the joy of being rescued, but also accompanied by an uncontrollable sense of fear. It's not about will.

It's like an ordinary person standing in front of the waves a few feet high, admiring this magnificent scene while terrifying his legs.

Ever since he got to the bowl, he couldn't see the sky outside and lost his sense of time. But after approaching the Eight Treasures Temple, he began to feel it.

That was Qin Qing's breath.

Although she deliberately controlled it, she only let the breath drift into the air as if it were nothing. But this faint breath also made him tremble.

When Zhong Hai began to feel cold, he was almost at the foot of the mountain.

He exhaled a puff of white smoke, and the cold slipped into his thick down jacket and down pants. He touched his nose and mouth, and found that his nose, lips, ears, and cheeks, which were most susceptible to cold, were fine, but the chest, waistcoat, legs, and arms that really felt cold were pouring into these places.

He held the stone bowl in his hand and said to the bowl: "We have arrived at Zao Mountain, it is dark, and we will go up the mountain in a while." You say, will there be anyone you know here? Shall I catch them for you to be your companion? ”

From the moment he walked out of the station, the ghost in the stone bowl did not answer him again. Did it feel the breath of its owner?

Zhong Hai was secretly alert, clasped the broken knife in his hand, and threw it if he found danger. He has specially practiced flying knives, and he can directly take any part of a person's facial features within twenty steps.

Suddenly, the gossip mirror he had placed in his arms suddenly shook strongly and buzzed! It's never had this kind of reaction before! This made Zhong Hai nervous too!

At this time, he saw a figure more than 100 meters away in front of him look up at him, and then he drilled into the grass in a panic and disappeared!

Is it possible for a person to burrow into the grass and disappear?

Zhong Hai was very excited! He ran over, and the grass was only less than thirty centimeters high, and a normal person would never be able to hide it. And even though he just glanced at it, he could see that it was a young woman with long hair.

But ordinary people can't run!

Zhong Hai took out the gossip mirror, held the stone bowl in one hand, and chased after it in the direction pointed by the gossip mirror.

Xiao Miao probably knew that Qin Qing didn't like her and had been avoiding her. Ruxing wants to distinguish for her daughter, and knows that shemales have different paths, and no one likes to see people and monsters paired in pairs, she said: "I am compatible with people, I know that I am not worthy of him, and I never dare to harm people. "What she asks for is not a moment of joy, but the protection of being able to stay with this person for a long time, so the longer this man lives, the better." I know that a man will have a pawn wife and sell his daughter when he is unlucky, so I think if he had money, he would not sell me. Ruxing is also very smart, she knows that the eldest wife in the main room must have three media and six appointments, a maiden family, and relatives, where do her relatives come from to walk around? Plain pretending that his parents and relatives are all dead, and he is naked and devotes himself to begging for support.

Qin Qing said: "Now the world is not like this. ”

Ruxing shook his head, "I went up and down the mountain, and what I saw was no different from before." "It is not uncommon for men to still have three wives and four concubines, marry one at home and put a few outside," If you have money, you must find some way to spend it. This money, he doesn't spend it on women, where does it go? ”

Ruxing's body is an anomaly, and he can see it so clearly that Qin Qing can't argue with it. Now she also understands why Ruxing is looking for a rich man, because this kind of man is usually not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and ordinary men don't find a wife to raise a second wife first, even if they have the heart, they are powerless.

When the temple was arranged, Ruxing and Xiao Miao went down the mountain. Of course, Kodaka didn't know anything, and he still hadn't figured out what they were doing here. At first, Qin Qing didn't tell him, but then she didn't plan to hide it and wanted him to find out for himself, but he just looked at Xiao Miao and smirked, and didn't think about anything else.

Xiao Miao didn't sue him, I don't know if he didn't dare to say it or thought it was unnecessary. Qin Qing could see from Ruxing that she and Xiao Miao were just looking for a human man purely to find a "meal ticket", and there would be no distractions mixed in it. It is conceivable that if Xiao Miao loses in Xiao Gao, it will be just another person for her.

Xiao Gao entered the house to find a better room Xiao Miao made a comfortable bed, he also found a basin, planning to boil water, and when he came out, Xiao Miao was gone.

"What about people?" Xiao Gao ran to Qin Qing's house, "What about Xiao Miao and her eldest sister?" ”

told him that Ruxing was Xiao Miao's mother, and he still thought that Ruxing was just Xiao Miao's sister because of the wrong age.

Qin Qing was wondering if he should sue him for another thing. When she chatted with Ruxing just now, she talked about Xiao Miao's household registration after going down the mountain, Ruxing said that Xiao Miao has a household registration, but she has not received an ID card, and the date of birth on the household registration is registered in 19□□. But Ruxing didn't take it seriously, she said: "When the time comes, let Xiao Miao go to the police station to register this place, and you can change it." "Because Xiao Miao doesn't look like a person from 19□□, it must be a registration error!

Qin Qing asked Xiao Gao: "By the way, what year are you from?" ”

Xiao Gao was looking for Xiao Miao in a circle, and said casually: "1991." ”

Boy, conservatively estimated, Xiao Miao is also a generation of people from your mother......

Qin Qing didn't know why Xiao Gao hadn't noticed anything wrong at this time, she said, "They went down the mountain." ”

"So late? Down? Xiao Gao was startled, picked up the flashlight and was about to chase down, but Qin Qing hurriedly stopped, "You can't walk the mountain road, don't go down, you will get lost again." Don't worry, they said they would be back tomorrow. ”

Xiao Gao's suspicion finally flares up normally: "Are they really coming back?" ”

Qin Qing nodded.

Xiao Gao said: "Won't her sister kidnap Xiao Miao?" ”

Qin Qing: "...... You're thinking too much. ”

There is a stove on the mountain, but Xiao Gao and Qin Qing can't use it. So Qin Qing ate instant noodles under hot water boiled in a camping alcohol stove, and also opened a can of luncheon meat. Xiao Gao is a beautiful woman, and he doesn't know the taste of food.

It gets dark early in the mountains, and at eight o'clock in the evening it is already as quiet as late at night. Xiao Gao is also tired today, so it is better for the two of them to go to bed early. At this moment, he finally remembered and asked, "What are you doing on this mountain?" He recalled what Fang Yu said, but Fang Yu didn't say it clearly, just let him drive with him.

Fang Yu patted Xiao Gao on the shoulder and said, "That is, buy a ticket, drive a car, and ask for directions, otherwise I won't worry about her going out as a girl." ”

Before getting on the plane, Xiao Gao also thought about why Mr. Fang's girlfriend would return to the place where Mr. Fang disappeared. But after sharing the car with Xiao Miao, he had forgotten this question for a long time, and now that Xiao Miao was not in front of him, he picked it up again.

Qin Qing thought about it for a while, and felt that it was impossible to win people's trust by speaking out, so he decided to learn from Senior Brother Xu and try to be as tall as possible, so that he could bluff people.

So she started from "Xujiatun Folk Customs Preliminary Examination", talked about Professor Shi's research, talked about the content of her class and her report, and then turned to Fang Yu and Zhao Lanshan's disappearance, and finally said under the pretense of Zhao Lanshan's mouth: "He said that he was brought back to the mountain by a monster." ”

Xiao Gao smirked, "So you're here to investigate this!" ”

Qin Qing nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." ”

Xiao Gao reacted after laughing, "What is the relationship between Xiao Miao and her sister and Mr. Zhao?" ”

It can be seen that Xiao Gao's IQ is not low, and it is unusual to quickly find two outsiders who seem to have nothing to do with each other here. At this time, Fang Yu's reminder, the horse driver's advice, the eyes of Qin Qing and the others looking at him, and so on, all appeared together.

Then, he refused to believe it.

"Do they open a hotel here, and then Zhao always stays at their house?" Xiao Gao asked Qin Qing.

Qin Qing was silent for a while and said, "...... I remember that Brother Zhao seems to live here. "So the hotel or something, don't kid yourself, boy!

"Oh," Xiao Gao turned back and yawned, "I'm so sleepy, I'll go to sleep first, it's in the next room, if you call me anything at night, I feel light." ”

No one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

In the same way, no one can wake up a person who has made up his mind to play stupid.

Qin Qing gave up this matter for the time being, turned his head to look at the night sky, and there was a bright moon on his head, which was terrifyingly bright.

Ever since she came here, it seemed that the moon had been extraordinarily bright.

She could feel the traces of Ruxing and Xiao Miao, the two of them one after the other, leading the person to the temple.

Qin Qing went back to the house and took the eight bells out of the luggage, patted it, and whispered, "Can you feel Yi Huang?" Get him back. ”

Then she heard the sound of the eight bells ringing softly and rhythmically.

Clang...... Clang...... Clang...... Clang......

When Xiao Miao heard this sound, he stopped trembling all over, and he involuntarily turned into a beast and began to dig a hole in the ground to get in.

Ruxing saw that it didn't keep up, so he found it back and pounced! One bite on its thigh!

Xiao Miao screamed and jumped away! Dragged its legs and hid behind a tree to lick its wounds, its thighs were bitten through several small holes by Ruxing and were bleeding.

Although Ruxing is also in the form of a beast, she can still speak, she said: "Quickly change back!" ”

Xiao Miao whined.

"When you think the beast is better, you can't change it back! Come back!! Ruxing bared out a mouthful of sharp teeth, obviously planning that if Xiao Miao did not come back, she would never show mercy.

"You've heard about your brother! If you'd rather be a beast, I'll bite you to death than let you die at someone else's hands! "Like a star, he bowed downward, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

She's not kidding.

Xiao Miao whined twice, silently changed back, but still wanted to change back to her original form, she said to Ruxing: "Listen...... You listen ......"

The sound of the bell from the mountain is melodious and pleasant, but listening to it in Xiao Miao's ears makes her creepy!

Ruxing's hair all stood up, and she shook her head, as if to shake off fear.

"What are you afraid of? This is the means of a lady! The lady wants to capture that person, you don't make a contribution, it makes the lady unhappy, she wants to accept you, no effort! Ruxing approached forward and bared his teeth at Xiao Miao: "If you don't want to die, just follow me!" ”

Xiao Miao regained her strength, and jumped forward closely after Ruxing's side.

Zhong Hai is lost.

The mountain road was not complicated, but he just couldn't get out. The gossip mirror in his hand can only point to ghosts and monsters, and nothing else. But after entering the mountain, it turned wildly, and it couldn't point anywhere.

He died in the freeze all night.

Zhong Hai began to get anxious, and then he suddenly heard a slight sound of grass shaking, he raised his eyes and couldn't see anything, so he had to follow the sound to find it, and the result really made him blind! After running for more than ten minutes, he saw a tail jumping in front of him.

As soon as he wondered if he had made a mistake, he heard a woman's exclamation from in front of him, and he ran over to see a woman who would never have appeared in this place at this time.

She didn't wear a windproof suit, she didn't bring a backpack, she just sat on the ground, and when she saw him, she actually raised her head and said, "Sir, I broke my foot, can you help me......"

Zhong Hai took a few steps back, raised his hand and was about to throw out the broken knife clasped in his palm! I saw that woman's face change drastically! In front of him, he was short, and he escaped in the grass!

"Trying to lie to me?" Zhong Hai sneered, afraid that he was chasing him too closely and wanted to use a beauty trick.

It seems that there are indeed a lot of monsters in the mountains here. I heard that the presiding officer of the Eight Treasures Temple was arrested and taken down the mountain, if the monks in the temple were still there, presumably there would not be so many monsters in this mountain.

"The tiger is not at home, the monkey is the king." Zhong Hai muttered and hurried to catch up.

Yi Huang felt that he was starting to become lighter. He had a feeling that he might be going to disappear. This bowl is indeed somewhat unusual.

When he was human, he would never have imagined that he would end up like this after becoming a ghost. In the eyes of practitioners like him, he was no longer a human being, but an object.

He wanted to say goodbye to his family well, he wanted to say more things to Qin Qing, but there were so many things he wanted to do that he hadn't done yet......

Qin Qing's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and she is really here. He had already guessed that she had come to save him. This person is afraid that he is about to fall into the net.

I just don't know if he'll be able to hold out until that time.

He was not afraid of Qin Qing now, although his body was still trembling unconsciously, he felt happy. If he was allowed to choose at this moment, he would rather be absorbed by Qin Qing than absorbed by this bowl.

Then he heard the bell of the eight bells.

Hearing this bell is like seeing the path of my hometown, the warm home......

He felt a burst of relief, as if someone had grabbed his arm, and left the bowl at once, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the family temple in the eight bells.

The lights in the temple are still on.

Here, nothing has changed for thousands of years.

Green...... I'm fine......

You don't have to worry about me, there's something dangerous about that person.

Yi Huang wanted to talk to Qin Qing, but his words couldn't get out.

Qin Qing stroked the eight bells, not knowing if it had found Yi Huang. In order for Hachiling to play a role, she needs to get close to a certain distance, and she is only worried that she will come too late and Yi Huang has already been killed.

At this time, Ruxing and Xiao Miao had already jumped to the temple, and the two of them were lying on the ground, panting.

Qin Qing walked out, and Ruxing saw her busy and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" The man is coming! ”

"Thank you! If you need my help in the future, you can come to me. Qin Qing said.

Ruxing couldn't help but get up and bow down again, "Thank you, lady!" ”

Xiao Gao also hurried out when he heard the voice, "Xiao Miao......" He was looking at Xiao Miao who fell to the ground happily, and said anxiously: "It's so cold!" Don't get on the ground! He stepped forward to help her, he didn't want Xiao Miao to be able to hold back anymore, especially now that Qin Qing was in front of her! She whimpered, shrunk to the ground, and turned into her original form.

Ruxing exclaimed in surprise and stepped forward to hold her daughter in her arms, turned around and ran.

Qin Qing only reacted at this time and turned his head to look at Xiao Gao.

…… Xiao Gao was already petrified, staring at the place where Xiao Miao was lying just now, stunned and speechless.

Qin Qing didn't care about Xiao Gao anymore, because she heard footsteps getting closer.

Zhong Hai walked up and saw a pair of young men and women in the temple, thinking they were lovers, and said, "Did you see a woman coming up just now?" She's beautiful. ”

Xiao Gao trembled, and reflexively yelled: "I didn't see it!" ”

A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence.

Zhong Hai narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Gao, strode over, and asked Qin Qing, "Have you seen it?" ”

Qin Qing was sweeping his whole body with his qi, and found that the qi on this man's body was very muffled, not clean, and not pure.

And she also found out that this person was not her opponent.

In that case, there is no need to go around in circles.

Qin Qing said: "Sir, have you ever seen a ghost?" That's my friend, please give him back to me. ”

Zhong Hai's expression didn't change at all, and he said, "What do you mean?" I don't understand. Have you ever seen a woman? Where did she go? ”

Xiao Gao couldn't help but set his eyes in the direction where Ruxing hugged Xiao Miao and fled.

Zhong Hai noticed it and turned around to pass.

Qin Qing directly pressed it with air.

Zhong Hai knelt on the ground in an instant!

He only felt like he was on a mountain, and he couldn't move at all.

At this time, he heard the girl behind him continue to ask him in a calm tone, "Sir, return my friend to me." If you don't pay it back, you won't be able to leave. ”
