I had a shadow of my handprints, so I hurriedly stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at my back. Fortunately, there are no extra marks on my body except for the handprint on my shoulder, and I really can't stand another one.

Wash and hang up the laundry, and I'll go find Tu Yu.

He was sitting on a deck chair in the garden playing on his phone. I apologize in the past for my skipping work.

After all, the red mark on my body has not been lifted yet, and I can't be expelled from the inn at this time.

Tu Yu returned to the way he was when he first met, and said happily that it was okay, "The guests have told me that he asked you to help him go out to buy medicine, it's okay." You've also worked hard all night, so it's not considered skipping work. The needs of our guests come first! ”

I looked at Tu Yu, and his expression was very relaxed, as if I was really just going to buy medicine for the customer.

He clearly saw me when I was holding a white umbrella and a white lantern, but now he acts as if nothing has happened.

Can I take two days off. "I'm going to go out."

"No problem, just think it's a holiday. Originally, I had one day off a week, and I couldn't get anyone to go out before. "Tu Yu didn't ask me anything.

At this time, Master Liu called me. Ask me how things worked out last night. "Why don't you call me, the little girl didn't mention anything too embarrassing, right?"

I was surprised, "Master, I called you so many times last night, and you never answered?" ”

"No way, I didn't get your call last night."

It seems that my guess was correct, and I couldn't get out on the phone last night.

But it's also possible that Master Liu is lying to me.

I told him what had happened, but before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by Master Liu: "What? If the first seven don't come back, they can't be reincarnated? You have been deceived Xiao Yang, and there is no such statement at all. ”

"No such statement?"

The so-called seventy-seven refers to the custom of seven seven and forty-nine days after death, with seven days as a period. The first seventh, twenty-seventh, and third-seven days go all the way to the seventy-seventh day, and the prayer is performed once every seven days until the forty-ninth day to remove the spirit. Now people don't pay attention to this, so generally the mourning hall will be removed after the first seven days, not to refer to the seven-day deadline. He's just fooling you. You didn't promise him anything, did you? ”

I sighed and said the rest of the story.

After hearing this, Master Liu was silent for a while and then asked me, "Is it really you who smeared the candle with your own blood and walked back?" ”

I said yes.

There was a bang on the other end of the phone, as if something had shattered.

After waiting for a while, Master Liu's voice came again, "Xiao Yang, do you still remember your birthday?" Be specific about the time of birth. ”

I remember that I was born at a quarter past six in the morning, at the dawn of winter. When I was a child, I didn't sleep much, and my mother always said that children born in the morning tend to wake up early.

I said the time, and Master Liu sighed, "I know, I was negligent." ”

"Is there something wrong with my eight characters?" I was very nervous.

"No problem, very good, very good." Master Liu actually laughed.

I didn't know what was good about my eight characters, so I asked Master Liu, and he only said that I was a portrait of wealth and wealth.

I'm very happy at first, it's good for a poor dick to be rich, and it means that I can get through this hurdle smoothly and won't die early, right?

But after hanging up the phone, I felt that Master Liu was too happy.

What does my Bazi have to do with him? Makes him excited like this?

There are so many things I don't understand these days. I recorded all my suspicions in the memo on my phone so that I wouldn't get dizzy.

Before the matter was dealt with, I received a call from Boss Wang, telling me to leave immediately. I came to the parking lot outside the ancient city. Boss Wang was already waiting in the van. Wenjing hasn't come yet.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I got into the carriage.

Boss Wang was also worried, "Look at this rain, it keeps raining." I see that there is also a blue rainstorm warning on the Internet, what if it rains too hard tomorrow to go? ”

That's right, this matter can naturally be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, Zhang Wenshao and I will both die.

Boss Wang handed me a cigarette and lit one himself. Then pull up a picture from your phone and show it to me.

"Are you talking about this person?"

Isn't the middle-aged man in the photo pretending to be Boss Wang?

I was taken aback, "He is this...... Mudslide? ”

"Well, mudslides, seven people died. It all happened when I went to Lijiaping. ”

I watched the news carefully. It was said that the mudslide hit the commercial car, and the car fell into the cliff and rolled into the rushing cloud river. The bodies of six of them were recovered. The body of the middle-aged man was never found.

"I don't think he lied to me. Maybe the gang did it to cover up the whereabouts of the middle-aged man? I said.

The middle-aged man has been staying on the fourth floor and cannot go down, indicating that he is also trapped on the fourth floor by a young man with a spider tattoo on his arm.

"It's possible." Boss Wang took the newspaper and looked at his phone in a daze, "I heard that something happened at the inn this morning?" Is everyone else okay? ”

"There was a madman who ran to kill himself, it's okay, the person has already been sent to the hospital. No one else saw it. ”

Boss Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." It's okay. ”

Care so much about me?

Our relationship isn't that good, is it?

I was very puzzled in my heart, and it didn't take long for Wenjing to come over.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Boss Wang drove cautiously, and just after seven o'clock, the sky in the mountains darkened.

"It's raining so hard, but it's good that we're here tonight." Boss Wang muttered.

After Lijiaping, a little further on is the resort.

But our path was blocked by a large tree. There are also many rocks washed down by the rain. Boss Wang jumped out of the car, took a look and came back.

"No, we can only pass through the village."

Unexpectedly, the rain gradually stopped. Boss Wang said: "By the way, find a place to live in the village." ”

Wenjing and I have no opinion.

Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village is a huge square, surrounded by many villagers.

Before it was completely dark, seven fires were lit around the square. Seven fires surrounded the ancient theater building, and on the theater stood a man wearing a mask, who was dressed somewhat like a costume, but somewhat different from the costume.

He stood motionless on the stage, far away from me, and his eyes were covered by a mask, so he couldn't see clearly. But I just felt that as soon as we entered the village, we were watched by him, and we couldn't escape his eyes in every move.

This gaze makes me very uncomfortable.

In the open space in front of the theater, hundreds of villagers gathered. These villagers were originally facing the theater, but as soon as we entered the village, we all turned back and looked at our car silently.

I was seen with my hairs standing on end.

Boss Wang gasped and slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

"That's what they call a public sacrifice? It's really wicked. ”

Boss Wang's voice was very low, as if he was also shocked by the silence in front of him.

Hundreds of people stood in front of the ancient theater building, but no one spoke, not even the sound of coughing and breathing, only the occasional sound of the fire beeping.

The darker it gets, the more the firelight shines on the puppet-like faces of these people, which looks very strange.
