Chapter 60: Into the Thief

After coming out of the Jingming Garden Community, it was already half past three, and it was not easy to take a taxi now. So I found a nearby hotel and thought about going to bed first.

But when I paid the money, I realized that the only twenty-one "things outside my body" in my pocket were not enough for me to stay for one night.

Because the hotel near here is obviously much more advanced than the one I went to with Lao Cai before, just a single standard room, and the cheapest one is forty yuan a night.

I used to wonder where to sleep is not sleep. Forty dollars for a night's sleep, stupid to spend this money, right?

But looking at this desolate and miserable street, I thought that in this cold winter moon that made me shiver, if I found a random corner on the street to sleep for the night, my body should appear in the police station tomorrow.

So I groped left and right in my pocket, not only did I look anxious about the little girl who checked in at the front desk, but even I felt more and more cold.

Suddenly, I felt as if something was bulging in the pocket of my jacket. I don't seem to have anything with me, do I? So I put my hand in the pocket of my clothes and took out the thing, and when I saw it, it was actually a red envelope.

What is this? I opened the red envelope in confusion and ...... Good guys, more than a dozen red tickets are lying neatly inside.

I suddenly remembered that the little girl's father had kept me for a while when I was leaving, and it must have been when he had put it in my pocket.

Seriously, I've never seen that much money. So much so that after I saw this, my hand holding the red envelope trembled a little, and at the same time, my little heart beat faster and faster.

Alas, to talk about this family, it is really ...... It's so kind.

The rivers and lakes are in emergency, and I will return it to him when I have a chance in the future.

I thought to myself, and then pulled out one and handed it to the little girl who had registered. I quickly checked in, took the keys and couldn't wait to go upstairs, and after finding the room, I went in and fell asleep on the bed.

……。

I didn't go to bed until about 3 a.m. or nearly 4 a.m., and I woke up on time two hours later. It was not the dream that woke me up, but the fear of Viagra in my heart.

What I didn't expect was that when I arrived at school, I heard about a strange thing--- thieves had entered the boys' dormitory.

Unfortunately, it was our dormitory that was stolen.

I asked Lao Cai: "There are so many dormitories in the entire men's dormitory building, why was our one stolen?" ”

Lao Cai pondered for a while and said, "I don't know, could it be that the news that I moved in was leaked by someone?" ”

I glared at him, and then I thought about it, it seemed that Lao Cai was the only one who could steal from our entire dormitory, so his half-joking words seemed to have some truth. So I asked him, "Did you lose anything?" ”

Lao Cai shook his head and said that no one had lost anything, but the clothes in the closet were turned over in a mess.

Hey, that's a surprise. How poor is a thief who runs a high school dorm to steal things to do such a brainless thing? And it's also a boys' dormitory, and who doesn't know that the gap between the rich and the poor between boys and girls in the school is bigger than the gap between Shanghai and our village. This thief is hungry and stupid, right?

The key is that the money is not lost, could it be that this is the legendary thief with discipline?

So I said, "Just don't lose anything, the school knows about it?" I've heard a few people talk about it. ”

Lao Cai shrugged, smiled, and said, "Can you not know?" I got up in the morning and found that the thief had entered the dormitory, and ran into the aisle and cursed. It's like a shrew scolding the street, not only is the words ugly, but the voice is not small, and later it also attracted the principal to ....... ”

Ability, I gave a thumbs up to obscenity in my heart. It's definitely a skill.

After Lao Cai finished speaking, he asked me where I went last night, why didn't I go back to the dormitory, and what happened to my eyes? He was the same as I had guessed, and he didn't notice me because he hadn't slept well the night before, so he fell asleep when he got back.

Speaking of my eyes, which are still dark blue, I think I should have beaten that kid hard at that time. In the morning, Xie Min also teased me: Why can't you fall out of bed without sleeping honestly and still break your eyes like this?

I smiled at her and said that it was because the master who leveled the floor when he was repairing the dormitory building was careless and left a bulge there, and I happened to fall on it. So she covered her mouth and laughed again......

I told Lao Cai about last night's events, and at the end of the day, I secretly looked around a few times, and carefully took out the red envelope that the girl's father secretly stuffed into me last night and opened it to him.

Lao Cai looked at my actions and showed a look of disdain, saying that I am a typical small citizen mentality, like a huge amount of money, as for it?

I pursed my lips and despised him, the descendant of the bourgeoisie, from the standpoint of the proletariat. Then he said: "No, you are wrong, I am not a small citizen, at most I am a small peasant." ”

Lao Cai smiled, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "Don't say it, I suddenly thought of a ...... to make money." ”

After listening to Lao Cai's words, my heart moved, and then I quickly shook my head and said, "No, no, if you still have to collect money for such a thing as exorcism, it will be too unusual." ”

Lao Cai patted me on the shoulder, as if it was a different person. How so? It's as if there is suddenly a little more serious and high-spirited temperament. He said to me earnestly: "You are wrong, do you know why my master doesn't sell you any discounts?" It stands to reason that he and your grandfather have been in an old relationship for so many years, which shouldn't be. I'm telling you, it's because there's cause and effect involved. ”

"Cause and effect are such things as invisible and tangible, but they are real. For example, if I sell you something, and you give me money, this is the causal cycle of giving and receiving. If you give but don't want the other person in return, the other person will be tainted with your cause and effect. It's like an invisible thread connecting each other, and it's hard to say whether the cause and effect will be good or bad in the end. But as a rule of thumb, the proportion of bad accounts for more than 90 percent ....... ”

I know that Lao Cai's words are actually a more euphemistic statement, because he doesn't want to mention the sad fact that I won't live to be twenty years old. Because according to him, there will definitely be no good end for me who is contaminated with my cause and effect.

So I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Really?" ”

"Really......."

"You didn't make up a lie to me?"

"What am I lying to you for? Even if I lie to you, can my master lie to you? ”

I groaned for a while, too. In terms of causal circulation, Lao Cai's cloth god is undoubtedly more vocal than my Sanqing charm.

But I still can't imagine Lao Cai's idea of making money, so I said: "That's okay, just charge a little hard money and rune paper costs." What you said about collecting tens of thousands of dollars at a time is too scary....... ”

Lao Cai looked at my non-negotiable look, and finally nodded in compromise and said, "Okay, it's all up to you, but next time you want to take me, I will charge according to the situation." With your character, it would be nice if you didn't lose your life if you collected it.

I thought about it, then nodded.

In this way, I, the future successor of the pure socialist cause, will be completely in the same boat as the second generation of capitalism.

……。

When I returned to the dormitory at noon, I found that my clothes were also turned into a mess, and I didn't care if I lost anything or not, because my proletariat was poor and white, and compared with the bourgeoisie like Lao Cai, this was also my only advantage.

So I tidied up my clothes and wanted to get some sleep. When I saw that the bottom of my clothes was empty, my movements suddenly stopped, my breathing tightened, and my heart suddenly understood. It turned out that the thief was him.

Yes, those two Talismans are gone. No wonder he didn't lose anything, it turned out that people were simply here for the two spirit talismans.

Is that evil way finally unable to hold back and want to make a move?

His uncle, still thinking that if he stopped a little, I could barely deal with the sudden extra ghosts in front of me first, but I didn't expect these things to be so quick to make a move without boasting.

But this kind of enemy in the dark and in the light is so fucked up that I don't know what he's going to do next. I was so anxious that I scratched my ears and cheeks, but there was nothing I could do.

Alas, let's add sleep first, anyway, there is no way, only wait for him to make the first move, and I will see you again. I'm a little bit more passive, but what can I do?

In the afternoon, I found a willow tree for Xiao Zheng to attach to it, which would be very beneficial for his recovery.

Because for ghosts, these trees with extremely yin attributes are the best place for them to live. Originally, the locust tree was the best, but unfortunately there was no such tree planted on campus, so I had to settle for the next best.

There are different folk sayings about the locust tree to attract ghosts, and some people say that it is because of its name. The ghost in the wood, from which there is a saying that the locust tree and evil things coexist.

But I don't think it's because of its name, it's because it's the attribute of extreme yin.

To say that the most famous allusion about the locust tree is tantamount to the well-known "Nanke A Dream".

In the Tang Dynasty Li Gongzuo's "The Biography of Nan Ke Taishou". It is said that the people of Guangling were drunk, and fell asleep under the locust tree in the courtyard and had a dream. I dreamed that I arrived in Dahuai Anguo, and became a relative to the princess, and I was Nanke Taishou for 20 years, and the official was very prominent. Later, because of the defeat of Dahuai Anguo, the princess died, and he was also sent home. Then I woke up and saw that my family was cleaning the courtyard, the sun had not yet set, and the wine jug was beside me. He looked around and found an ant hole under the locust tree, and suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that the Dahuai Anguo in his dream was this ant cave, and the Nanke County under his dream was the southernmost corner of the ant cave.

It can be seen that the strangeness of the locust tree has existed since ancient times, and it is not just because of its name.

I think the reason why it was named Locust Tree was because it was so weird.

Judging from Xiao Zheng's injury, let it cling to the willow tree to heal, I'm afraid it will take about a week to recover. Among the things I have learned, whether it is the Sanqing Talisman or the Qiankun Body Technique, they are all ghost killing, so I can't do anything other than find him a convenient place to heal.

In the past week, there has been no Xiao Zheng outside to inquire about the news, and I don't know how much will happen, but unfortunately I can't do anything, I can only say that it is fate.
