1. Money!

It was dark outside the door, Liu Yi shrunk his neck, his hands in his pockets, and was held hostage by a cold wind, his eyes were bloodshot, obviously tired of business and lacking rest.

Eat first, then warm the pot of wine, and saw a few ancient coins scattered on the corner of the table, he opened the conversation: "Hey, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit." Ancient and modern exchanges, no exception. ”

I said, "Why do you feel this way?" Business has been struggling lately? ”

He said: "I didn't make any money, but I heard a bizarre story about ancient coins, and I think you will be interested." ”

Out of professional sensitivity as an archaeologist, I said that I would like to hear the story, and asked him to be faithful to the original text and try not to add to it. ”

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River seized Huai and flooded. Some people fled to the southern Jiangsu region, but they did not sit back and relax, on the contrary, what awaited them was a harsher fate, the plague was rampant, and more than half of the people died. Among them was a man named Zeng En, who was lucky enough to escape the disease, but became a madman. It is said that after his mother contracted a serious disease, Zeng En went behind her back to seek medical treatment, but was rejected because of poverty. After kneeling in front of the doctor's door and begging all night, he carried his mother's body to a mass grave.

After the plague, in this southern Jiangsu town, people often see Zeng En - the crazy Zeng En. He is not sloppy, nor manic, and he is said to be crazy, mainly based on two symptoms, one is that he does not speak, and he does not say anything when he is killed; The second is to stare at other people's money and look at it directly.

The concentration with which he stared at the money made it even feel like the copper coin was being snatched away by an invisible hand. At this point, the shopkeeper or customer will yell at him and blow him away. As time goes by, people get used to it.

But then things went into turmoil, because people began to say that when the madman walked, when he turned around, there was often a sound of metal colliding. Someone claimed to have heard it with his own ears and said, "The sound is the same as when you throw a copper coin into a money bag." In this way, it is logical to conclude that madmen specialize in stealing by means of mystery and mystery.

It is also said that when a madman looks at a copper coin, the pupils in his eyes will slowly dilate and gradually become square. "It's a square the size of that." --In order to make people understand, Liu Yi pinched a copper coin and made an analogy.

So the madman no longer had a chance to get close to the shop counter, he could only look four or five paces away, from a distance, but he looked as attentive as ever. Careful people hurriedly counted the money one by one, and the result was: there were always one or two copper coins missing. This kind of news will always spread far and wide. Finally, one day, a blacksmith casually made an excuse and forcibly searched him, but he was immediately speechless, because Zeng En was not named. People are even more suspicious.

Due to an accident, this matter came to light. One day, the madman was hit by a startled horse in the street, and when he was carried to the doctor's house, he was almost unconscious. But he recognized it at once: it was the doctor who had refused to treat his mother.

He still had no money, and the doctor would not treat him, and when he announced on the spot that he could not be saved, they asked the doctor to use the last chance to solve the mystery and see what was wrong with the madman's eyes.

The scalpel could only cut the madman's eyeball shallowly, but could not cut in, and a sharp and piercing sound of metal grinding came out, and the doctor said: he had touched something very hard.

Someone handed an iron hook, the doctor held it, the tip of the hook aimed at the pupil of the madman's eye, pierced, penetrated, lifted, pulled hard, the back of the madman's head smashed back into the bed, and then people saw: the iron hook was strung with a copper coin, and the black blood gradually dripped out, revealing a yellow luster.

The iron hook trembled, and the copper coin rang non-stop. Red and black blood gushed out of the holes in his eyes.

One of the daring snatched the hook and continued to dig through the blood-stained eyeballs. After each terrible scream, a copper coin fell to the ground crisply.

One after another, and then the people did not count, and anyway, the people who came back from the doctor's house that night also received the least two pockets.

You might say: this is not so much a mystery as a bigger one. Yes, I think the townspeople would think the same way, but they soon had no time to pay attention to the dead madman, because the doctor became a nightmare for the town - and none of the patients who went to the doctor after that survived!

There are fewer people going to the doctor, and there are more and more rumors. Some family members said they "looked, smelled, asked and cut" when they saw the doctor, and the pupils in their eyes gradually turned into squares as they stared at the patients.

On the last day, two patients who went to the doctor went missing. Later, someone found the doctor's iron hook - four bloody eyeballs were strung on it!

In view of the experience of the madman, it is believed that this strange thing is conclusive and does not need to be verified. So, in the middle of an autumn night, the doctor was tied up by four strong men who had been secretly authorized and buried alive in a pile of bones in a mass grave.

Hearing this, I laughed, "Although there are some historical facts mixed in, this story is nothing more than to illustrate: evil can be born from the cruel reality, and it can also spread like a plague among human beings, and finally make more people have evil thoughts and kill people for money." As for the 'square pupil' in the story, it can be understood as seeing money. ”

"Yes, but you don't want to know who Fang Tong passed on to later?" Leo looked straight at me.

I thought he was too serious, and in order to lighten the mood, he joked, "It can't be you, right?" Come, let me see. ”

His eyes really widened and he leaned in.

I saw that his pupils were normally round, but the color was reddish, so I said, "It's okay, it hasn't changed yet." ”

He smiled and said, "Why don't you want to think that human currency can change from copper coins to paper money, and the pupils can't keep up with the times?" ”

When I looked at his pupils again, I froze - the red in his pupils was clearly the color of RMB!

On that note, I was surprised to see another red rapidly spreading – it was blood gushing from my chest.

2. Night road

Teacher Li, who teaches in a small mountain village, has to climb three mountains every day after school and walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to get home, and more than 20 years have passed, and he has also walked that road back and forth more than 8,000 times.

It may have been a very ordinary night, but it was darker than usual, and unlike usual, Mr. Li always felt a little unsteady in his heart, and always felt that something was going to happen, but he didn't know what it would be. This is a very remote path, Mr. Li has walked for more than 20 years, and he has only met three people on the road, two of them are still dead, because the mountain is too steep, when chopping wood, accidentally rolled down, and died very miserable, Mr. Li has not forgotten the scene at that time, the person is lying there, but the head has been flattened, ** Zi burst out of a large area around, red, white, some still fall on the small branches and leaves next to it, it is so bright, and there is one he has not even seen the head, only saw a corpse.

It's just that Mr. Li has never been a timid person, and although he has an ominous premonition in his heart, he still decided to move on.

It was so dark that Mr. Li could barely see his fingers, but fortunately he was so familiar with the road that he could walk with his eyes closed, he knew where there were pits, where there were trees, and where he knew where the downhill was going.

It's so quiet, it's scary, and the usual noisy insect cries can't be heard. Mr. Li walked in a hurry, only his own breathing was heard, he felt very strange, he thought that maybe he should hear his own footsteps, but no, he only heard his own breathing, the sound was very heavy, very urgent, as if there was a little rhythm, as if the last sigh before the death of the last sigh after the end of the note, thinking of this, he felt that his whole person seemed to shrink a little, involuntarily shivered, he just hoped to go home early, back to the small house on the hill, where there was his wife, there were his children, There are hundreds of other villagers nearby.

"Hey~, Mr. Li, can you ask for directions?"

It was as if it was floating out of the ground, and it was so cold.

Teacher Li's face turned pale, and he quickly looked back, but there was no one, and when he turned around again, there was already a person standing in front of him, he took a few steps back, and took a few breaths of cool air, but he still controlled himself not to scream. I don't know when someone stood silently in front of him, he squinted his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly, it was too dark, he could only see a black shadow.

"How do you go to the bridge? Cluck... ”

The man asked with a smile.

Teacher Li couldn't control himself anymore, shouted, and hurriedly ran back, because when the man spoke, he heard the sound of "frustrated" running water, which came out of the man's mouth and splashed on the ground. Although he couldn't see clearly, he knew it was blood, because only blood had that fishy smell.

He ran back desperately, and he didn't know how long he had been running, but at last he saw a little light in front of him, and he knew that it was a lamp, and the woodcutters often held it to shine on the wood. Seeing the light, his heart calmed down a lot, and when he looked back, the man was gone. In the boundless darkness, that little bit of light is the whole hope of Mr. Li, and there is nothing more inspiring than this little bit of light.

He was getting closer and closer to the light, and at last he was close enough to see the human figure, and he saw that someone was digging there with a hoe, and the other was eating something, and he was about to walk over, when suddenly he heard the man with the hoe talking, 、、、、、、 、、、、、、 eat? I'm 、、、、、、 tired. After speaking, he actually took off his head and threw it on the ground, the light flashed, and Mr. Li saw that the other person's head was flat, and his face was full of **, he stuffed mud into his mouth, and sucked the ** dripping from his head with his tongue, and said to Mr. Li with a smile, you 、、、、、、 dig it、、、、、、 I eat it、、、、、、 you dig 、、、、、、!! I'm going to eat it、、、、、、

For the first time in more than 20 years, Mr. Li did not come to class, and the villagers followed Mr. Li's route home to find Mr. Li's body very close to the school, splashing on the ground, and he was still holding a hoe tightly in his hand!!

3. The woman in the toilet

I remember a strange incident five years ago that happened in the toilet of a theater.

At that time, I made an appointment with a group of good friends to go to the theater and chose the nearest theater. The cinema has been around for quite some years, but after a major renovation, it was still able to attract a large number of people to buy tickets and go to the theater, and we went there on a Sunday of the year after it was renovated.

The decoration inside is really good, stylish and neat, the chairs are comfortable, and the air conditioning is cold enough. In the middle of the show, I suddenly felt a need to urinate and hurriedly invited my friends to accompany me to the bathroom, but they didn't want to miss any part of the play, so they refused me, so I had to go alone.

When I walked into the toilet, I caught a glimpse of a woman squatting in the first toilet looking for something, and I didn't pay attention to it because I was in a hurry.

After solving the problem, I went out to wash my hands, and saw in the mirror that the woman was still there, her hands grabbed some items in the trash can and put them in her mouth, and she seemed to be eating with relish, she was facing away from me at the time, so I couldn't see what she was eating, just when I was wondering, the woman suddenly turned her face and said to me, "It's delicious!" There was still a little blood on her mouth, and the so-called food she grabbed in her hand turned out to be a tampon discarded by women after use.

I was so frightened that I screamed and ran out, and there was a terrifying voice in my ears, "Do you want to taste it~~".

My friends outside looked at me in a panic with strange eyes, and when I told them what I had just seen, they were also interested, and they stopped watching the play, so I insisted on taking them in to have a look. We went to the toilet together, but when we went to the toilet, we didn't see anything, the weird woman was gone, they started complaining that I was nervous, I tried my best to explain that they didn't believe me, and finally I was helped home by my friends, and I didn't finish the play.
