Chapter 2 The Missing Second Girl
Early the next morning.
The punctual biological clock made me wake up at 6 a.m.
After getting up, I was about to turn off the fan to wash, but I heard a "pop" sound, and something fell to the ground.
I'm wondering, what's pressing on my quilt? So he stooped down and picked up the little thing, and looked closely at a yellow brown paper envelope.
"I'll go, give me yellow paper early in the morning, it's really auspicious. It must be the ghost of the second girl next door. ”
But there is nothing to do, and it is not bad to wash up for a few minutes.
I opened the yellow envelope, and when I saw the handwriting on it, my heart suddenly tightened!
It's grandpa's handwriting, and there are a few lines of big characters neatly written on it:
Eleven, grandpa went out to do errands, this time goodbye, I am afraid that there will be no day when we will meet again, you have to take care of yourself - Hu Lingtian.
Hu Lingtian is his grandfather's name, but his very domineering name is somewhat inconsistent with his raunchy and old-fashioned dragon clock.
In my memory, my grandfather has always been so old, and it seems that he has never been young, and Ling Tian's name is really not worthy of it.
"Oops! What do I think! "When I pat my head, every time I see my grandfather's name, I always think of this.
I simply put on my shirt and pants and ran out of the room in a few steps.
Grandpa's room was next door to mine, and I had already pushed open his door in a few breaths.
The door was unlocked, just hidden.
It was empty.
I took a few steps into the door and looked around, but I didn't seem to find anything missing, and it seemed that my grandfather didn't take anything with him when he went out.
"No, the box under the bed!" Thinking of this, I hurriedly ran under my grandfather's bed and bent down to check.
Under this rummaging, the small copper-edged wooden box under the bed has indeed been taken away, and it seems that grandpa is really gone.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door downstairs.
I quickly woke up from standing stupidly, and there was a knock on the door downstairs, could it be that there were guests early in the morning?
Grandpa is gone, and no matter how much you think about it, nothing will come of it. I shook my head, and after I had set up my clothes, I didn't care that I hadn't washed yet, so I went downstairs to open the door.
"Hey, hey, open the door!" A pleasant female voice came from outside, revealing excitement in her words.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately recognized her master, the second girl next door.
Erniu is one of my very few friends, one year younger than me, just graduated from high school this year, knocking on the door so early in the morning, there must be some good news to share with me.
I smiled and pulled down the bolt to open the door.
The second girl really stood outside, and when she saw me, she immediately smiled like the moon, and handed over the things in her hand: "Eleven, this is a pastry made by my mother, hehe, give it to you!" Is there enough for two people? ”
I was caught off guard and took a small basket stuffed by the second girl, and my body was pushed by her and stumbled and almost didn't fall. "Hey, slow down."
The second girl spared me like a butterfly wearing flowers and went directly into the hall, looked around the old counter, frowned slightly, and said, "Huh? What about Grandpa Hu? Why haven't you seen anyone? ”
"Hey, so you slow down, my grandfather is gone, and I left this pastry. Erniu, do you have anything else to tell me? I smiled wryly and shook my head, Erniu has never treated our family as an outsider, and she has long been used to being frizzy over the years.
"Oh, Grandpa Hu has something to do, no wonder." Erniu randomly found a small bench behind the counter and sat down, squinted at me and continued: "Hehe, Eleven, I was admitted to Xijing Medical College, how about it, amazing." It's one of the top 5 universities in the country, and my dream is to become a doctor. ”
I was indeed a little surprised when I heard the news, Xijing Medical College is not a place that can be admitted if you meet the score requirements, although this college is named after the medical school, but other disciplines are also ranked very high in the country, second only to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Of course, when it comes to medicine, they are even more leaders.
"Amazing, Erniu, by the way, how are you feeling lately?" I couldn't help but praise it, but inadvertently, because I found that there was something wrong with the face of the second girl.
Erniu's Guanlu Palace is flat and slightly bulging, and the Guanlu Palace is in the middle of the person's forehead, showing the basic status of the person's academic career.
Originally, I only glanced at the secret judgment in my heart, but I accidentally discovered that there was a faint black qi hovering over her life palace, which was located in the Yin Hall between the two eyebrows, leading the basic fortune of the person. Now the black gas is looming above, indicating that the second girl may encounter a disaster such as a disease or disaster in the near future.
However, looking at the location of her Sickness Palace, there is no serious illness, so if you don't carefully make up a hexagram for her, you can't predict the source and time of the disaster.
"Eleven, why do you look at me like that? Hee-hee, you can't take a fancy to me, right? Hey, don't get excited, I've been feeling better lately, and I'm not feeling well. When are you going to learn your grandfather's suspicious routine! I'm telling you, I want to pick up girls and find someone else. The second girl replied bluntly.
I nodded: "I don't want to soak you, so let's do it, you pay attention to some of your own conditions recently, if you encounter something that can't be solved, call me on your mobile phone to contact me, remember!" ”
Seeing what I said solemnly, the second girl couldn't help but put away her hippie smile, nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I know, let's keep in touch." By the way, I'll go first, and the neighbors haven't gotten the pastries yet, bye-bye! I'll come back to you later! ”
"Well, be careful on the road!" I looked at the second girl who ran out of the door in a few steps, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
After going upstairs to wash up briefly, I went downstairs to open the shop again, and I flipped through the yellow book given by my grandfather and looked at it with relish on the counter, and from time to time I made two gestures.
The spells written in the book all feel decent, but they all need to use one thing, and that is "Gangqi".
I don't have this kind of thing-driven spell at all, so it seems that I can only memorize the mantra for the time being. As for how to obtain this kind of Gang Qi, there is an exact cultivation method in the Yellow Book, which is called Qi Practice.
Qi practice needs to be integrated into daily behavior, every time you eat and every time you walk, it is a cycle of exercise, swallowing and absorbing, nourishing qi into the body, and the Gang Qi circulates back into the body like blood, and it is not stored in the dantian like any immortal cultivation novels.
To put it bluntly, this kind of energy is scientifically explained as an existence similar to bioelectricity, but it is a controllable bioelectricity, and when it is to be used, it will be driven by people like an eel discharge.
There was a lot of information recorded in the yellow book, and the knowledge was also all-encompassing, so I didn't read it any further, but just quietly digested the method of practicing qi.
It was late in the evening, and I had just made dinner with pastries and returned to the counter, and I was about to experience the qi practice technique again.
At this moment, a few dark shadows passed through my eyes.
I was sitting behind the counter, in the chair that my grandfather used to sit on, casually facing the door. It's natural to see when someone comes in.
"Hahaha, Eleven, where's your grandfather? I have to thank him, I woke up this morning, and that thing was gone, and it was okay to do what your grandfather said. "The person who came was the bald old man from yesterday.
I raised my eyebrows, thought a little in my heart, and replied, "Wasn't Grandpa taken away by you?" Now you're looking for someone in my house? ”
The bald old man was obviously a human spirit, and when he heard that my tone was wrong, he knew that something was wrong, and after a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Master Hu didn't come back!" Ay. Eleven, your uncle came here this time, just to thank you and bring you something, there is no other meaning, don't get me wrong. As for your grandfather's whereabouts, I really don't know. Why don't you tell me more carefully? ”
The bald old man waved his hand lightly, and a strong man in a suit and leather shoes behind him immediately took a few steps forward, put a small bag in his hand on my counter, and nodded at me.
I don't dare to take things from unknown sources, which is also taken care of by my grandfather. So I shook my head and replied, "Boss, I can't ask for this thing, if you want to thank my grandfather, you can send someone to find him." I don't know how to talk about it. ”
"Haha, this thing was originally mentioned by your grandfather and me, and it was specially given to you. Eleven, it's good if you call me Uncle Xu, although we haven't met before, but in the future, if there is anything, you can contact me directly. Okay, I'll keep the things, don't let down your grandfather's heart. The man who called himself Uncle Xu smiled at me and nodded, and left the coffin shop with a few followers.
"This man's luck has been changed, and grandpa is so capable." I thought to myself as I looked at the few figures that had disappeared in the doorway.
When I first met the bald old man, although the other party's face was briefly exposed to my eyes, so I couldn't see it very clearly, but I could still capture the other party's rich and noble appearance, but the tip of his nose was slightly shriveled, and the tail of his eyebrows was a little wrinkled.
And these problems should be caused by the recent encounter with some taboo things, and judging from my experience, the cause and effect contamination is already quite deep, and it is difficult for non-powerful people to get rid of it.
But when I saw this Uncle Xu today, his nose was round and full, with a little redness, this was an outbreak, and it was estimated that he either took over a big business or the stock price skyrocketed last night.
"I don't know where this Uncle Xu comes from, Xijing Xu family, by the way, Erniu's family has a computer, I have to check it and inquire."
Thinking of this, I didn't bother to look at what Uncle Xu brought me, and I went out in a few steps, and I didn't forget to hang my contact information on it when I passed by the door.
Of course, the storefront does not need to be closed, and even if the thief lacks morality, it is impossible to go to the coffin shop to steal things and find bad luck.
Erniu's house is across the street from my house, and I didn't need it for the past two minutes, and their family is in the department store business, and they sell everything. Business is good here.
"Yo, it's not eleven! What, what about the second girl? "As soon as I entered the department store of Erniu's house, his mother asked casually.
"Erniu? Didn't she come back a long time ago? "I didn't think much of it, and if I knew the way, I had to go up to the attic.
"She said that she would go to play with you after sending her things, and the day has passed, and she hasn't come back for dinner. Don't lie to me, you kid! The voice of the second girl's mother came again.
As soon as this sentence came out, I immediately slowed down my hurried upward steps, and the second girl left the coffin shop early in the morning and did not return, this is what I am sure of, but her mother obviously can't lie, isn't it......
"Aunt Zhu, didn't the second girl come back after going out in the morning?" I asked, stopping at the half-cut staircase outside the attic.
Aunt Zhu also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and immediately got up to confirm the situation with me, and then the two of them called Erniu's mobile phone, but it was turned off.
Something happened to the second girl!
