Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ghost City
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Xiaoxiao came to the town early in the morning, and after asking the shopkeeper Wu where there were strange things sold in the town, Xiaoxiao knew that there was a ghost market in such a small border town.
After inquiring about the specific location, Xiaoxiao rushed over non-stop.
She needed a human skin mask, but regular pharmacies didn't have one, so she planned to try her luck at the ghost market.
Xingchen's face is indeed too dangerous to go out, it would be better if she could completely change her face, if not, then she can only rely on makeup every day to change it, but her makeup skills are really a little unacceptable, and moreover, the human skin mask is more convenient, so of course, she is convenient to come.
The ghost market is a place of barter, if there is something you want, then you have to take out what the owner wants, usually in the ghost market, those gold and silver are the most vulgar things, few people are interested in them.
Xiaoxiao thought for a while, all she could do was ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, but these things that could be bought in the pharmacy probably wouldn't be too interested.
After a little consideration, Xiaoxiao had an idea in her heart, went to the shop and bought a slightly larger bottle, and bought some small and chic bottles, which made Bai Xue shed a tear, and after mixing a large bottle of water, she slowly poured it into the small bottle.
Bai Xue's tears are too precious, so she has to use them separately, like such a tear, mixed with such a large bottle of water, the effect is still comparable to a thousand years of ginseng, so she has to make good use of it.
Ready for everything, Xiaoxiao came to the ghost market, which is completely different from the market outside, the people here come to sell things and just set up a small stall, there is no kind of shouting and selling, if someone comes, they will say a word or two, if there is no one, just stay there quietly.
Xiaoxiao walked around casually, there are really a lot of strange things, and in general, only you can't think of them.
After walking around, I finally found a human skin mask seller in a corner, and when I touched it, I felt a little cold, as thin as a cicada's wings, and I felt empty in my hand.
Xiaoxiao glanced at the stall owner, his gray hair, and even the goat's beard were white, but his spirit seemed to be quite vigorous.
"Old man, how do you exchange this?"
"You little girl is really rude, who is the old man, am I that old?"
Xiaoxiao......
Look at that face of folds, why do you have to be over the age of sixties, right?! If you don't call him an old man, what do you call him?
"Grandpa? Uncle?! ”
Xiaoxiao screamed tentatively a few times, and when she saw the stall owner's expression of blowing his beard and staring, she hurriedly changed it again and again:
"Big brother?!"
"Well, that's right, little girl, it seems that you still have a lot of potential. You want this human skin mask?! It's not for me to blow it to you, my human skin mask is the best in the world, it is absolutely comfortable to use, and there will be no side effects. ”
Xiaoxiao heard the stall owner unashamedly admit that he called him eldest brother, and the corners of his mouth twitched, at this age, he had to pretend to be tender here, it was really a wonder.
"What do you want to exchange for?!"
I really couldn't call the second big brother, so Xiaoxiao asked directly.
"Didn't you already think about what to exchange for me? Just take it out. ”
Xiaoxiao......
"Okay, although this ginseng is not very old, it is indeed a good thing that I took out, you see, is it good to exchange a ginseng for a human skin mask?"
Originally, I wanted to exchange it for Bai Xue's tears, but after seeing the stall owner so unconcerned, I changed my mind again.
"Little girl, you are very unkind, you obviously have that fairy jade liquid, but you want to take a broken ginseng to fool me, are you being a bully for me?!"
"Immortal Jade Liquid?!"
"Tsk, you girl is quite good at acting, don't tell me you don't know what fairy jade liquid is, aren't those bottles and jars in your arms filled with fairy jade liquid?"
"Well, I really don't know, I have some potions in it, which can cure all kinds of diseases, and even save people who only have one breath left, if you want this, I can also exchange it for you, but this bottle of mine is really precious, so I need to change you for a few human skin masks."
"Can pull back the person who only has one breath left, isn't it a fairy jade liquid? Alright, all my human skin masks here are yours, you can just give me a bottle. ”
The stall owner waved his hand, especially heroic.
took a bottle of fairy jade liquid from Xiaoxiao's hand, the stall owner waved his hand and left, and before leaving, he blinked at Xiaoxiao,
"Little girl, we'll see you again."
Then he waved his sleeves and didn't take anything with him, no, he just took the bottle of fairy jade liquid and left.
Xiaoxiao looked at his distant back, silently complained in his heart that he was really a strange old man, turned around and began to clean up the items on the stall.
Xiaoxiao counted it, there were ten human skin masks, and a medicine bottle, in which a few black pills were placed, as for what they were, she really didn't know, but with the principle that it could not be wasted, Xiaoxiao still put it away.
After packing everything, Xiaoxiao found a note underneath, opened it and took a look, only to know that the human skin mask could only be used for a month at most, and the pill in the bottle was the Appearance Pill, which could keep its appearance unchanged for three months if eaten.
Xiaoxiao calculated that the human skin mask could be used for ten months, and the Yirong Pill had a total of ten pills, which could be used for more than two years, which added up to more than three years.
Three years should be enough, but I don't know if the deadline for this medicine can reach that time.
After getting what she wanted, Xiaoxiao left, and as for other things, she hadn't remembered what she needed for the time being, so she didn't buy them yet.
When she returned home, she hurriedly put down the package in her hand and went to the barren mountain, where she wanted to try the effect of the human skin mask.
"I don't want to bring this."
Xingchen looked at the human skin mask with a look of resistance.
"If you don't bring this, you can't go anywhere, you can only stay here, are you happy?"
"Do I have to bring this?"
Xingchen looked at Xiaoxiao with a serious face, and he was not very confident for a moment.
"Well, you have to bring it, but if you just want to stay here and not go anywhere, you can also do without it."
"I don't want to, I want to be with you."
"Then you can bring it to me obediently."
Wearing a good human skin mask was not as uncomfortable as imagined, but the moment it was pasted, there was a hint of coldness, and Xingchen stretched his eyebrows.
Xiaoxiao looked at the rather ordinary stars in front of her with satisfaction, although it was not as eye-catching as before, but this honest and down-to-earth face also made her feel extra relieved.
"It's still that good."
Reaching out and touching Xingchen's face, Xiaoxiao sighed sincerely.
