"Let me tell you a story! You listen to me as you eat. ”

The voice of the old friend is mischievous and cheerful.

"Here, let's have some of your favorite chili sauce first."

My old friend dug up a large spoonful of red chili sauce from the bottle with his right hand, and I looked at him blankly and obediently, and my right hand with a silver watch reached neatly for my wonton noodles, and I caught a glimpse of the time on it----- 9:40.

I lowered my head to unwrap the disposable chopsticks, mixed the stimulating chili sauce, smelled the hot steam, and unconsciously sniffled, I took a big gulp, and my body suddenly warmed up and full, and I felt that I was indeed a real living organism.

My old friend looked at me and began to say something with relief.

To tell the truth, I was immersed in the repetitive act of devouring and chewing, I picked up the white porcelain bowl and poured the rest of the soup in one gulp, swallowed my saliva, and relaxed again and leaned back in the chair.

My eyes returned to my old friend.

"Then, the card will be given to you, and I will go to the bus station and wait for the B25 later." The old friend said as he took something red from his suit pocket that looked like a card and raised it in front of me.

The card is very beautiful red, not cheap, there are subtle and regular lines on it, like capillaries, but the two opposite corners of the card are tied with moon-colored ropes and tassels, like jade pendants.

The old friend pushed away my bowl and put the delicate red gadget in front of me, and I looked at the old friend with a puzzled look, and he was still the same mischievous and cheerful smile.

"Well, can I take the subway and buy Che Tsai noodles at the convenience store?" I spat out these strange questions in one mouth.

"Ahh He was stunned for a moment, and then continued to look like that, "Haha, of course, this is a real card, ---- me by a famous designer" I heard the accent and the instinctive ridicule in my heart

"My masterpiece of the year, combined with the jade decoration of traditional Chinese knots, the luxury of loneliness, is a limited edition, only you have it." My weird sneer only flickered, and then I was stupid again.

"Miss, we're about to close, can you come over and pay the bill first?"

I picked up the card and held it in my hand, stood up and walked to the cash register, and my old friend seemed to stand up and follow me. The middle-aged uncle's smile is still positive, and he really loves his job.

I glanced at the phone-like machine next to the cash register, and then at the red card in my hand, "I use a card to pay the bill." ”

"Okay." Uncle beeped a few times on the numeric keypad and then looked at me with a bright smile.

I slowly lifted the so-called card, slowly stretched out to the sensing area, the moon blue tassel leaned on the old plastic machine, beep-----, I was startled, and then the sound of a small ticket came from the side, the cash drawer popped up and the uncle returned it neatly with his right hand, and tore off the small ticket with his left hand and stretched it out to me, "Okay, welcome to visit next time, this is your small ticket." I took the receipt and put the natural red card in my pocket.

I turned around, and my old friend looked proud, with his hands crossed over his chest.

"Like it? Okay, go and get on the bus, the last bus is eleven o'clock. Sayonara! Bon voyage! The old friend waved at me, and I looked at him for a moment, then turned obediently and moved on to the next destination.

"Uncle, I'm starving to death, make me a bowl of pork hand noodles!"

"This, this is closing!"

"Uncle, I'm so familiar!"

I couldn't stop getting goosebumps.

"This man is still as scoundrel as ever!" I said something I didn't understand myself.

Naturally, I forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

I returned the same way, the lively long street began to thin, the forest-like road that turned right into the road was still dark, and after a while, I returned to the huge green fluorescent coordinates, I walked to the front of the station, the white lights above my head shrouded me, I was alone, looking around quietly, the road was empty, the asphalt road was sprinkled with orange street lights, and the sound of some motorcycles could be heard in the distance, far away.

In the distance on the left, the lights slowly flashed, getting brighter and brighter, and a bus scrolling on the LCD screen at the front of the car showed 'B25 is going somewhere' towards the station.

With a thud, the brakes stopped in front of me, and the front and rear doors opened at the same time.

I walked up the stairs at the door, it was very dark inside, I could only vaguely see the outline of the sensor, the driver was expressionless, the door behind me was closed, I took out the red card and punched the card, I looked around the car and found that I was the only one, I found a place by the window and sat down.

I've always been used to sitting by the window in the car.

Riding the bus is one of the things I hate the most, the closed compartment, the high concentration of carbon dioxide, the shaking, dizziness and crowding, but the empty car I have a little yearning, probably, I like the place where there is no one.

Outside the car window, there were similar roads, street lights, and the number of street lamps was like marquees, and my mind began to recreate the story that my old friend told me while eating noodles.

"Do you know what witchcraft is?

I don't know?

There is such a saying

What happens when people don't know what they don't know, they search the Internet. ’

What novel is so interesting? emmm, I want to think about ....."

I took out my phone from my pocket,Swipe to unlock,The screensaver still doesn't know if it's a screenshot of a certain day's schedule.,At that time, I probably wanted to encourage myself to follow the schedule and set it.,The wallpaper is a sea of sunflowers.,But it's like a dusk feeling.,I open the browser.,Just type"Witchcraft",The Internet is a savior for my kind of social fear.。

Baidu, a huge amount of information swept in:

Witchcraft is the practice of influencing or exercising control over certain people or things with the help of supernatural and mysterious powers.

"Séances" and "spells" constitute the main content of witchcraft.

It is highly idealistic and mythical, and the mysteries of supernatural powers and entities still need to be further studied by science. ’

In ancient times, the female name of the caster was the witch, and the name of the man was the witch.

Witchcraft uses and manipulates some superhuman power to influence human life or events in the natural world through certain ritual performances to achieve certain purposes.

Ritual performances of witchcraft often take the form of symbolic songs and dances, and use certain objects and incantations that are believed to be endowed with witchcraft magic. ’

A specific person with natural abilities has been cultivated to become an ability to manipulate anything, mainly qi and blood, spiritual wisdom, forethought, soul dementoring, spirit medium, and sichen. ("Analysis of the Classic of Mountains and Seas")

Qi and Blood: It is a white witchcraft that can make an injured person recover as quickly as possible for a period of time.

Linghui: In ancient times, the combination of strength and wisdom could dictate the fate of others, and Linghui was the great sorcerer, whose wisdom was supreme and could call the wind and rain to force his own people to sacrifice to their gods at the cost of their lives. There is a major leadership position in the clan.

Forethinking: Take the most handsome man or woman of the tribe as an example, and train them to have a hunching ability, so that they can easily observe the heavens, govern the place well, and make friends better.

In the later period, it was transformed into Taoist thought: "People send the earth, the earth sends the heavens, and the heavens are all many." ”

Soul Dementor: Similar to the current Taoist priests, but he is good at performing the art of red death, the art of bringing people back to life and resurrecting the soul, and the magic of immortality and immortality. Don't look them in the eye.

Medium: Those who marry the dead and the living, have special sympathy for the dead, and do not care about the life of the living.

Sichen: Gay, beautiful. Beautiful boys are very short-lived, and I heard that they are all detached from nature and detached from reality. They can imagine whatever they want, and it will become a reality!

Is it so powerful? But how can people still live so tired and tired, fighting every day.

After the flood of information on the Internet, the narrative of an old friend continued in my head.

"Let's not talk about fiction, let's talk about witchcraft, most people understand witchcraft is just a sacrificial activity for human beings to pray for dialogue with the heavens, but the contradiction is eternal, witchcraft exists, and there is also the power of witchcraft to hope and fight. This force existed from the beginning of the world, or when the world did not exist, and it is a little difficult to name this force, but we can describe him, in essence, he wants to prevent you from having hope of living, he does not take people's lives, he uses all kinds of methods to make people want to give up, so that people lose their hope.

Some artists call him fate and proudly say that it is in their own hands, but I think it's just a game with them.

This guy has always been there, we know that he will come and devour us, but we don't know why, and then we can't fight it, but people may be born with an unwilling factor, which unites some people and creates some methods, but it can also compete with him until now....."

"Why do you still look dazed, are you so hungry? Forget it, let's continue, for a long, long, long time, there was a woman called Yuxi, people's evaluation of her is the same as praise for Daji, and some people also say that Yuxi is the first example of the red face and disaster in later generations. However, the earliest historical record of Yuxi comes from the "Chinese", and there is only a few written records on it: "In the past, Xia Huan felled and gave alms, and some people used Yuxi to be a woman, and Yuxi was favored, so he died in Xia with Yi Yinbi." This record does not mention the evil deeds of Yuxi debauchery, bewitching the king, splitting silk, and traveling naked. It was only after the Han Dynasty that there were various sayings of indulgence, wine ponds, meat forests, and naked frolic. Obviously, this is the romance of later generations, the rhetoric of the feudal royal literati, not a historical fact. However, history has always been a little girl, and it is all up to others to dress her up, and the records found now may not be true about the events of more than ten years ago, not to mention that it was the distant Xia Dynasty, and there are only a few old strokes left. Later generations are all kinds of criticisms for various purposes, and then in our new era of freedom and democracy, we have all kinds of yy y, and the truth is like being covered with lard layer after layer. Oh, I seem to have expressed too many feelings, so I'll keep telling the story."

"Well, Yuxi has a daughter."
