Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Death of a Pregnant Woman (1)

The day was dawn, the 24th had already arrived, and more than one-sixth of the time had passed, my master and I stood up from under the eaves in the light of the morning sun showing our faces in the east, but we couldn't withstand the severity of the cold wind in the deep winter morning and the sudden drop in temperature after the heavy snowfall, our master and apprentice were shivering with cold, and we stayed in the field all night, and the physical exertion was very large, and the master said that it was probably too late to rush back to the town to eat breakfast, so hurry up and find a breakfast point near home to eat something, Although there are not as many breakfast spots in the hinterland of this death highway as in Yabei Town, there are one or two of them after all, and Master and I put our frozen red hands into our cuffs, just like a escape, I looked at Master's lonely back and thought, is it worth it for us to do this, what are we suffering so for, all day long to make people not human, ghosts are not ghosts, no wonder even those lonely souls and wild ghosts saw me and Master and asked us if we were human or ghost! Oh my God.

Master and I walked into a small breakfast shop, and in the center of the shop, a middle-aged man was smoking a cigarette with a sad face, looking as if he had just gotten out of bed, and a middle-aged woman on one side of him was packing her package, feeling like she was about to move.

"Boss, come to two catties of fritters and a few more bowls of millet porridge, by the way, do you have soy milk? Give the child a drink," the master shouted loudly, completely ignoring the scene in front of him.

"If you don't do business today, you can go somewhere else to eat, I'm sorry," the woman sighed and looked up at me and Master and replied perfunctorily.

"You don't sell early, what kind of door do you open so early! "The master seems to be very angry, how can the master still give people a cross, we have the ability to fight ghosts and demons, but the battle against the living may not be able to gain the upper hand, on the chassis of others, people are not allowed to crack our anus, I stepped forward to pull the master away, the master looked at me, signaled me not to move, I had to wait and see.

"This brother, brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we have a problem" The middle-aged man finally stopped being indifferent.

"You open breakfast, don't sell breakfast, open so early, what about us, are you Sun Erniang opening a store and burying evil intentions?"

"Brother, you are serious, aren't we two forced to do this?"

"Let's have breakfast, what are you forced to do, I can still owe you a few breakfasts?"

"Brother, I didn't mean that, listen to me! You're the drivers of this road! ”

"Yes, but I don't run this route often."

"You should know that this highway is called 'Death Highway', here every year on November 25 of the lunar calendar, there will be a big or small car accident, the scene is very miserable, every time there are dead people, this is not the 24th today, it is 25 after the early hours of tonight, there will be a car accident, I am packing up my things to go back to my hometown to hide for a few days, as long as the car accident happens, it will not stop here for a while and a half, and the business will not be done, so ...... Another point, I'm afraid of scaring the child, last night the child cried all night, how to coax can't be coaxed, the more coaxed, the more crying, as if being scared by something...... "We can't be sure of the first half of what he said, the second half is the truth, when I first entered the door, I can still hear the child crying intermittently, this wandering ghost likes to tease children the most, not to mention that there were so many gathered around here yesterday, this is still a hard-nosed child, otherwise, still crying, early onset of high fever and unconscious."

"We've heard of it, why are you so sure you're going to have a car accident tomorrow?" In the end, the master is clever, and he suddenly caught the shopkeeper into the subject.

"Hey, every year, I'm used to it, and in the spring of next year, I'm going to close my small restaurant in the town to find a living, and if I don't work here, I can't make any money, and I'm scared all day long."

"Do you remember the year the first car accident happened?" Master asked thoughtfully.

"This" The shopkeeper looked quite suspicious, he raised his eyes to look at the road outside the door, but his thoughts were like a tide, and then, he slapped his thigh fiercely and said without vomiting unpleasantly:

"It's okay to talk about it"

"Don't say those unlucky words in the morning, bad luck" The woman kicked the man to shut up, seeing that her words and deeds seemed very evasive, and she didn't want to say more.

"You girl, let me tell you what you're afraid of, we can't do business now because of these ghost grandchildren, and we won't let you talk about it, there is still such a truth in the world"

"If you say it again, your mouth will rot, all these years, you don't know, who said that whoever is unlucky, whoever sees someone will die, why don't you have a long memory, how did the second grandmother and the third uncle die, you forgot" The woman roared and cried while holding the child.

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten" The man also had red eyes and round eyes and said to the woman:

"I'm just trying to find someone who understands and explains what I don't understand today, what are you arguing about!"

Master glanced at me, didn't speak, lowered his head and sighed, I didn't understand a little, but I didn't expect the man to hold Master's hand excitedly and said:

"Look at this brother, the fairy wind bones, the instrument is Xuanang, he must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he must be the master among the masters"

I, the master looked at each other, oops, we thought we were very well disguised, but I didn't expect that people would recognize people with their discernment, you know, I and Master were rarely recognized in the process of living, but I didn't expect this guy to be quite long-eyed.

"Brother, since you have a discerning eye, our master and apprentice will no longer hide it, we are Mr. Yin and Yang, you can also call us half immortals"

When the man heard the sound, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said, "I beg the master to be gracious and save my life, I saw it, and they said that whoever sees it will die?" ”

I was about to ask him, 'What do you see?' but Master had already realized it, so he hurriedly stopped me, and then said to the man:

"You do look like you have run out of oil, and the yang fire on your forehead is not very vigorous, but if you meet our master and apprentice, you are doomed to die."

"Thank you, master, for saving your life," the man wanted to bow three times and bow again, but I helped him up.

"It's too early to say, if it weren't for your unintentional opening of the door this morning, as long as there is a gust of wind tonight, you will let go west"
