What is the truth is but the law of the victor.

The so-called truth is just a story made up by the winner.

If there really is justice in the world, then why can ants only obey their words.

I just want to live freely, no longer endure the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, I hope that one day, the creatures of the Great Wilderness will have the ability to resist the gods and demons, and no force can oppress our freedom.

Even if it is 500 years under the Five Fingers Mountain, I will not hesitate to do it, because I am the Monkey King.

……

On the desk in front of me, there is a copy of "Horror Stories", on the old-fashioned brown-red office desktop, I have used a pen to draw deep traces, antique teapot brewed two pieces of five-day chrysanthemum tea, but also from the spout of the burst of fragrance.

My name is Lin Cheng, according to incomplete statistics, there are about 10,000 people called Lin Cheng in the country, such a popular name is really not my will, a baby from the croaking to the ground, after crying, the first can not choose, is his name, besides, I am an orphan, I don't even know who the person named me is.

I always feel that the beginning of life is a coincidence, just like being a grain of sand in the desert, I don't know when I can be swept up by the wind and blown into other people's eyes, such a chance is very slim.

However, since we were born, the poor have pursued wealth, the rich have pursued fame and fortune, and those in power have vainly tried to conquer the world, all of which are bottomless pits that are difficult to fill in by materials.

You see, I have a deep insight into life.

I often think a lot in my head, which may be the reason why my work is too free, I am a "ghost hunter", usually part-time fortune teller or something, but I am not the kind of charlatan who carries a flag and plays tricks to deceive people.

In today's rapid development of science, everything must be explained by science, anti-feudal and anti-superstition, which has caused our industry to be sluggish, the kind of peers who support a small horse on the side of the road are OK, and it is a little sad for us to rent a house and open a store, sometimes the monthly income is not as much as the rent.

My main business is still ghost hunting, sometimes I can't touch one for half a year, but I can't meet one for half a year, for example, I don't know where the next meal is, but I'm satisfied, at least I haven't been reincarnated to the most serious anti-feudal time, if it is discovered, it is light to pull me out to the streets.

Part-time fortune telling is just to increase income, my target customers are mainly those who are relatively wealthy, such as buying a villa to see a feng shui, buying a mobile phone number to see the good luck, and even pressing a toilet to see which kind of toilet will not flush away their family's fortune, meeting this kind of customer, my happiness level is similar to the Chinese New Year.

As for whether I'm accurate or not, let's put it this way, a mouth under the nose, how to bluff people.

I was in a trance, two women and a man broke in outside the door, two women looked anxious, one left and one right holding the expressionless man in the middle, one of the women was a little older, the other was a little younger, and the three of them looked like mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law.

The aunt shouted when she entered the door: "Come and help, my son has been ghosted." ”

I quickly got up and shifted my gaze to the man, and when I saw that he had a bandage wrapped around his arm, I pointed at him and said, "He was ghosted?" “

My aunt anxiously grabbed my arm: "Yes, yes, you save my son." ”

I laughed and said, "Where the hell is coming from in this broad daylight?" ”

The young woman beside her said, "Really, Master, my husband has been ghosted. ”

I went up and rolled the man's eyelids like a doctor, except for a little dark circles, there were no symptoms: "I can see if it's a ghost, what the hell is going on." ”

The daughter-in-law said: "Master, last night my husband slept until midnight and couldn't find anyone, I got up and saw that he was in the kitchen with a knife and cut his own arm, saying that he would make pickled pepper chicken feet for the two of us to eat, and the blood flowed all over the ground, almost scared me to death." ”

The aunt said on the side: "As soon as the two of us saw it, we hurriedly sent him to the hospital, from last night to now, others are like losing their souls, they don't say anything, they don't feel at all, you say, this is not an evil thing." ”

I hugged my shoulders and said, "Looking at him, it doesn't look like a ghost, but it looks like he's received some stimulus, and he's scared." ”

Aunt: "Master, just take a look and help him summon spirits." ”

I scolded: "Don't worry, don't be so feudal and superstitious. ”

Auntie: "......"

I said, "Let's not be busy summoning spirits, let me ask you if there is anything he has been doing lately, such as work or family, that can stimulate him." ”

His daughter-in-law began to sobble when she heard this: "Speaking of this, there is one thing, my husband likes to buy lottery tickets, two days ago he wrote me a string of numbers, let me buy it, but I finished buying vegetables after work, two yuan short of buying steamed buns, I think I won't win this purchase, so I didn't buy that lottery ticket, but which bastard knows that the lottery number of that issue is what my husband wrote to me." ”

As soon as I heard it, I understood that this man was not a ghost, but he couldn't stand such a big stimulation and was schizophrenic.

I was surprised: "Hey, your steamed buns are worth tens of millions." ”

As soon as I said this, the woman cried out, and the aunt on the side also wiped her tears and said: "Our family is not distressed, which means that we should not get this money, although my son regrets it, but it is not very exciting." ”

"Auntie, your heart is big enough, I see, your son is stimulated because of this, you guys, let's take him to see a psychiatrist."

The aunt asked, "Isn't it a ghost?" ”

I waved my hand and said, "No, there is such a big sun outside, and some ghosts have long been scattered." ”

I opened the desk drawer and took out a business card: "This person's name is Han Jiangxue, she is my friend, you go to her, she will be able to catch her in this case." ”

His daughter-in-law stood up and wiped her tears: "He's really not a ghost." ”

I said: "No, at most a little schizophrenia, you, in the future, persuade your husband to buy less lottery tickets, then the odds of winning the lottery are the same as the probability that you were hit by a meteor on the rooftop." ”

His daughter-in-law said: "But it turns out that we can still be hit by a meteor, but our meteor missed." “

Me: "......"

At this time, the man, who had been expressionless and unresponsive, suddenly became emotional, drooped his head, kept panting, and muttered something in his mouth.

His daughter-in-law stepped forward and whispered, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" He leaned forward to listen to what he had to say.

I was afraid that the man would lose his mind and act aggressively, and was just about to stop his daughter-in-law, when the man suddenly jumped up, shouted, stretched out his hand and grabbed her daughter-in-law's neck, and stepped back, I saw this situation with his mother, and wanted to go up to stop him, who would have thought that he took out a fountain pen from my desk, gritted his teeth and slashed at us twice, forced us back, and put the tip of the pen against his daughter-in-law's neck, and shouted: "Lottery!" ”

I said helplessly, "Did I irritate him?"

His daughter-in-law frowned, snorted in pain, and his mother was nervous: "Xiaoshuai, you put down the pen, it's your daughter-in-law." As he spoke, I saw that the pen in the man's hand was clenched a little tighter, and I hurriedly grabbed her: "Don't go over, your son doesn't know anyone now." ”

The man said disregardlessly: "Give me the lottery ticket, I want the lottery ticket." ”

I comforted him and said, "Okay, your lottery ticket is with me, you let the person go, I'll give it to you." Judging from his performance, it seems that this man is still trapped in that lottery ticket, think about it, he was about to climb to the sky in one step, who expected to fall down on the last step of the stairs, not only rolled to the bottom, but also collapsed the stairs, who can stand it.

The man shouted hysterically at me, "Give me the lottery ticket or I'll kill him." As he spoke, he raised the pen in his hand.

I said, "I'll give it to you!" I'll give it to you. As he spoke, he rummaged through his pockets, and after a while, I had two tickets for the bathing center.

I said, "I've already converted your lottery ticket into money, or I'll write you a check and give you the money." ”

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the man's eyes: "Money? How much? “

I said, "Ten million." “

The man's eyes were full of **, he kept looking left and right, grinning stiffly: "Ten million, give me the money quickly." “

I nodded: "I can't get the cash, I'll write you a check." “

I leaned sideways and grabbed a pen and paper from my desk, and carefully wrote on them, "Check, money bank, 10,000,000 yuan." Then he carefully handed it over.

The man snatched it up, opened it with an expectant face, his face was suddenly stunned, and then he gritted his teeth, threw it at me together, and scolded, "Are you teasing me?"

I laughed and said, "Well, it doesn't look like my brain is all bad."

My action seemed to annoy the man, he was not chasing me for a lottery ticket, without a hint of warning he raised the pen in his hand, the sharp tip of the pen seemed to reveal a cold light to remind me of the impending danger, the aunt on the side also saw this scene, a scream resounded through the room, and the woman in his arms closed her eyes in despair.

For a moment, the man's hand waved down, and it seemed to slow down in my eyes, and then I unhurriedly activated my thoughts, and a wave of thoughts pierced the air like bullets, leaving a trace, and hit the man's body directly.

Suddenly, the hideous face lost a charm, the waving pen stayed in the air, and the man's movements seemed to freeze, standing in place like a sculpture.

The woman in her arms couldn't wait for the pain in her body, slowly opened her eyes, saw her husband who was motionless like wood behind her, and retreated incredibly.

The aunt was also stunned: "What's wrong with my son?"

I said, "Your son's three souls and seven spirits have been suppressed by me, and he will not be able to move again for a short time."

I did it, I didn't lie, I can stop any object at will, whether it's people, ghosts, gods, or anything in the world.

The aunt was ecstatic and pulled her daughter-in-law and said, "Look, I said that there are immortals in this society, and you still don't believe me, now you can see it."

As I spoke, I was about to bend down with my daughter-in-law, who was stunned, and I hurriedly pestered her: "Auntie, I also have a little trick, but today's matter, you can't mention this to others, otherwise you will leak the secret of heaven, and you will not be able to escape the disaster."

After listening to my words, this aunt nodded like a chicken pecking at broken rice, if you want people to keep their mouths shut, you have to prescribe the right medicine, and deal with superstitious people, with this trick, it is simply tried and tested.

The woman hesitantly walked up to her husband, and Pear Blossom said with rain, "Then what should my husband do?" ”

I waved my hand: "Don't get in the way, you take him to the hospital, give me a call when you get to the place, and I'll solve the law for him at that time." ”

"To the hospital? Can't you take care of it? ”

I said, "He's crazy, it's physiological, I can't control it." ”

The aunt said, "Master, I know you can help me, you are bothering to save my son." ”

Me: "Auntie, this is what the psychiatrist does, I am a superpower, not next to each other." ”

The aunt said, "Then we'll take him now." ”

Even so, the two women looked at this young man and were helpless, the aunt secretly glanced at me, the meaning was obvious, I patted my chest helplessly, walked forward and bent down to carry him on my back, and trotted him back into the car.

The aunt smiled: "Master, you are really a good person. ”

I deliberately wiped my forehead, pretended to wipe my sweat, and said, "It's a small thing." “

Auntie opened the car door and got into the car, I didn't know why, and asked cheaply: "Auntie, have you finished eating the steamed buns that your daughter-in-law bought?" ”

The daughter-in-law who was driving said, "Not yet." ”

I smiled and said, "Keep it, after all, a steamed bun is worth millions." ”

When the aunt heard this, she grabbed the car door angrily, closed it with a "bang", turned the front of the car, and stopped and galloped away.

……

I sat at my desk with my cheek in my hand, pen in hand, scribbling on the table in boredom, the little store was lifeless, only two flies chasing each other around the right season, buzzing, I had the heart to stare at them, but I had no intention of picking up the fly swatter to end their fragile little life.

A man jumped in outside the door, with a stiff hairstyle, a sturdy body, and a momentum that no one could bear his punch, this person's name is Chen Hui, a friend of mine who grew up together in an orphanage, and I have regarded him as family for so many years.

Chen Hui shouted at me: "Boss, you have such a good time." ”

I said, "Didn't you accompany Jiang Xue to go shopping, why did you come back so early?" ”

Chen Hui said: "You don't know that this woman is shopping, and the eight horses can't catch up, so I left a clone and came back by myself." ”

Chen Hui finished speaking lightly, picked up the tea brewed on my table, and blew the tea foam on it: "It's so hot, I'm almost thirsty." “

After speaking, Chen Hui's figure began to become illusory, and suddenly an identical doppelganger stepped out of his body, as if his soul was out of his body, standing in front of us, his height and appearance were exactly the same as Chen Hui's.

I'm trying to introduce.,This person is my orphanage's hair small.,Doppelganger Demon Chen Hui.,People say that things gather by like.,People are grouped.,Then of course my friends are some demons and monsters.,As for human friends...... It should be more accurate to use the word animal to describe it.

The clone paused for a moment and walked quickly to the stairs behind, where Chen Hui took a sip of tea and said, "I have to go to the toilet." “

I said, "What if you are such a blatant doppelganger and are seen." ”

Chen Hui smiled: "How can it, no one has come to this small store for ten days and half a month." ”

I sighed, covered my aching heart with my hand, and said, "Sometimes I envy you for having a doppelganger, just like now, you can drink water while going to the toilet, and your doppelganger goes to the toilet, you take a sip of water..."

Chen Hui spread his hands and smiled: "Boss, I don't care about what you say." ”

……

Chen Hui's personality is the kind of big grin, thinking that nothing matters, and if he can solve the problem in the simplest way, he doesn't think about more decisions that have the best of both worlds, which has brought a lot of misunderstandings.

Because of the convenience of Chen Hui's doppelganger, all the troublesome and bits and pieces of work were handed over to him, of course, because of this, there were a lot of misunderstandings, since we moved to this place, the neighbors around here have experienced a series of "strange incidents." ”

For example, a neighbor saw Chen Hui coming out of the public toilet door, and the two of them passed by, and when they entered the public toilet, they found that there was still a Chen Hui squatting inside, grinning at him......

And that's not all.

As a doppelganger demon, Chen Hui's ability is naturally to summon a doppelganger that is exactly the same as the main body, but he can only have three doppelgangers at a time, and there are four people's labor force, two of them are divided every morning, one doppelganger goes out to buy breakfast first, and the other packs up the shop and prepares to open, and the main body stays at home to sleep lazy, and because of Chen Hui's arrogant personality, he doesn't know how to hide, and often makes some misunderstandings.

Every morning, the neighbor would be entangled between the two doppelgangers who were going out, greeting him more than once, and in the end he thought that there was something wrong with his brain, and he always felt hallucinating.

……

The first doppelganger went out in the morning to buy breakfast.

The neighbor greets: "Yo, it's so early."

The clone replied, "Yes, I have to buy it and go early."

……

After a few minutes, the second doppelganger opened the door and cleaned up the house.

The neighbor stared at him in surprise and said, "When did you come back, I haven't seen you at the door all this time."

At this time, the second doppelganger will say with a confused face: "I haven't gone out all this time."

Neighbor: "I just said hello to you, you said you went early." ”

The clone said, "No, I just opened the door." ”

Then the neighbor usually slaps his head and scolds, "I've been a little schizophrenic lately."

So in Yingchun Street, Chen Hui became an erratic, enigmatic man, and people gave him the nickname - Hongqi Chen Hui.

……

Speaking of neighbors, I have to talk about the street in front of my door, this street is called Yingchun Street, just listen to the name to give people a very kind feeling, but the truth is often deceiving, the folk customs here are really strong, everyone is not easy to provoke the master, since the planning, there has never been an outsider can be wild here, whether you are a businessman, a tycoon, or a ruffian, or black and white, into this street, is a tiger you have to lie down, is a dragon you have to coil.

On this street, there is no so-called wealth, the reason why it is so frightening, is only because of the extraordinary unity, before the area was not developed, six or seven slaughterhouses were opened in large and small places, people lived by slaughtering, and every household was doing such a business, after planning, the original chaotic village was built a block, and many foreign people moved in, but the xenophobia of the local people was unusually strong, openly and secretly bullying the new residents, and once there was a conflict and contradiction, The locals all responded to the call and attacked it in groups.

The outsiders who were not familiar with the place dared not speak out, and no one wanted to be wronged, so they moved out of the street one after another, leaving only a small number of people to integrate here, and since then, the whole street has become the world of the aborigines, and its sphere of influence is limited to the whole street, and it is easy not to go out of the street, and the notoriety has spread since then.

Later, after many years, the old violent thinking has slowly faded, with the improvement of the quality of residents, slowly also accepted some new businesses moved in, I am one of them, the basic quality of the people on the street as a citizen is still there, usually get along is still harmonious, but they always have the kind of pride that never bows their heads, and the belief of unity.

If you are respectful to them, then they must greet them with a smile, and if you scold, you can only find teeth all over the ground.

No matter what your identity is, or what law you hold, you provoke the people on the street, and you still have to work with the girl, even if it is the chengguan, you have to stand aside, so that for a while, the roadside hawkers found that there was a chengguan inspection, and they seemed to have to run to Yingchun Street one by one, because the people on the street had several conflicts with the chengguan before, and slowly the chengguan knew that this was a "difficult bone", and every time they could only chase to the corner of the street, watching the hawkers "spy shadows", and it was beyond reach.

And I am the most open "outsider" in this notorious Yingchun Street.

Although when I first came to this street, I went through a fierce ideological struggle, and we said that Yingchun Street is not a small xenophobia, and I can't stay without extreme patience, but for the sake of the low housing prices, I decided to take a chance.

I regret coming here, on the surface I get along with my neighbors, but secretly we were bullied with a river of blood, the bicycle is put outside, and when you want to ride, it will be gone, and after a few days it will inexplicably appear in front of the store, it is hot in summer, the store is equipped with air conditioning, and the fortune-telling business that was originally good suddenly came to a large group of aunts to play mahjong, and said that I was idle and idle.

Every day the store has played cards with a group of old men, a group of aunts in the store play mahjong, someone really comes to tell fortunes, I can only take him to the upstairs room, the most embarrassing thing every time I have to go upstairs, the customers are vigilant to look at me, timidly said: "I really come to tell fortunes!" Do nothing else. ”

This can't be blamed on my glass heart, I didn't reflect much in the neighborhood committee, but there was nothing to make up, since the hard one didn't work, I moved out the soft grinding and hard bubbles I used to deal with various teachers when I was a child.

During that time, I practiced carefully, filtering every time I felt unfair things into what should be done, the aunts played mahjong in my shop, did not give them a face, did not pick up people, but served tea and water, imagined that their job was an honorable waiter, for the men who played cards at the door, pipe pipe lunch, as for the straight car, let's put it this way, since that day I have never ridden again, and the residents of the whole street are regarded as my bosses, for their words I am obedient, one by one to please, to say that the popular point is to be a grandson for people.

After a long time, the neighbors have accepted me, and my own character has been honed a lot, before others accidentally stepped on my feet, then I immediately had to fight, now, at most, I ask him if he still stepped on it, if he doesn't step on me, he can take it.
