Chapter 5 Fish Dead and Broken?

What the is this!

If you don't go to the hospital after such a serious injury, what are you going to buy here?

I was also surprised by what the big-bellied woman bought, so I took the iron clay ball from the shelf, came to the cash register, and asked me to settle the bill.

The iron sand ball that can only be used to clean the kitchen utensils by brushing the pot, what is she buying at this time?

I couldn't help but say, "Sister, are you okay?" Do you want to go to the hospital......

The big-bellied woman glanced at me, her face was a little pale, her eyes were cold, and she said in a somewhat solemn voice: "You just came here?" ”

I said casually, "I just arrived, help look after the ......."

"Okay, hurry up and check out, I'm still waiting to go back and brush the skin!" The pot-bellied woman doesn't have a good tone and attitude, and I don't know where I provoked her.

However, her words made me even more confused.

Brushing the skin?

What kind of skin do you brush for latte clay balls?

The iron sand ball was only a few dollars, and she took out a 'big bill' and put it on the cash register, which made the corners of my eyes twitch.

Tiandi Bank...... Dead money!?

The big-bellied woman was about to leave with the iron sand ball, so I hurriedly called out to her, and said with some displeasure: "Sister, don't joke with me at night, okay?" Can this thing be used for money? ”

It doesn't matter if it's a few dollars, but I don't want people to think of me as a fool!

The big-bellied woman looked at me deeply, and a faint green glow suddenly flashed in her eyes, and such a look suddenly made me shudder.

My heart was beating wildly, and I looked at the big-bellied woman in horror.

The encounters in the past few days have made me know something beyond the common sense of ordinary people, and when I think of the scene of this woman landing on her toes and the blood behind her back, I suddenly understood in my heart.

This pot-bellied woman is not human, it is likely to be ...... Ghost!

Seeing my frightened look, the big-bellied woman grinned, full of fangs interlaced, and her face was hideous, with a posture that wanted to pounce on me and bite me.

"Ah~" I couldn't help screaming, staggered back, and almost sat on the ground.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in the vest walked into the convenience store with a cigarette in his mouth and slapped the big-bellied woman on the head.

"Fuck off!"

The big-bellied woman seemed to be afraid of the middle-aged man, shrunk her head, and hurriedly left the convenience store.

Then, the middle-aged man took out a bottle of beer from the container, opened it, put it in front of me, and said casually, "Drink a little to suppress the shock!" ”

The fear in my heart had not subsided, and I grabbed the bottle with trembling hands, and after taking a big sip, I said in a trembling voice: "That woman just now...... Is it a ghost? ”

"What do you say?"

The middle-aged man didn't respond directly to my question, and directly diverted the topic and said, "Tell me, why did that old guy make himself so miserable?" ”

I took a deep breath, stabilized my mind, and explained in detail what happened on the side of the ruined temple.

After listening to me, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, wanting to see the contents of the blue cloth bag in my arms.

I gave him the blue cloth wrap, and when I saw the longevity lock, his brow furrowed. When he saw the intricate pattern of the parchment scroll, he hurriedly closed it and returned it to me, as the old beggar had done.

However, he was not as frightened as the old beggar, but his face was a little strange.

He asked me where the contents of the blue cloth bag came from, and I simply told me everything about the previous days, and then cautiously asked him if he knew anything about my grandfather.

The old beggar said that I was not related to my grandfather, but I still didn't want to believe it.

"Zhou Zhenyao! I do know something about him, he was a ruthless character in his early years, and it is no secret that he killed his brother and father. It is true that he never married and left no heirs, so you are certainly not his own grandson......"

The middle-aged man smoked a cigarette and told me some things about his grandfather.

Especially when he talked about what happened in Lingnan many years ago, his face became even more strange.

In his words, many years ago, a large tomb in Lingnan was forcibly opened by his grandfather's gang, causing the earth under the ancient tomb to surge and killing an entire village.

No one knows what Grandpa got from the tomb, only that Grandpa and the others have lived in seclusion since then.

However, over the years, those who forcibly opened the ancient tomb with their grandfather have all disappeared or died strangely, and the goddess was one of those people back then.

Regarding the matter over there in Lingnan, the middle-aged man said very vaguely, and there were many places where he flickered.

I was in no mood to ask any further, and I was most concerned about my parents' whereabouts.

When I asked this question, the middle-aged man shook his head very dryly and responded: "I don't know, when the old guy recovers from his injuries, you can ask him!" He knows better about your parents. ”

I said that, but I could feel that this middle-aged man must know something about my parents, but he didn't want to tell me for some reason!

When will the old beggar heal from his wounds? Where is it now?

The middle-aged man said vaguely: "That old guy planted it this time, he was very unwilling, he went to find a helper, and I don't know when he will come back!" If you don't have anywhere to go, stay with me first! ”

Now I am truly homeless, penniless, and even having a problem eating.

However, I hadn't forgotten the big-bellied woman just now, or it would be more appropriate to call it a female ghost, and my intuition told me that this convenience store was quirky.

"What? Scared? ”

The middle-aged man looked at me with a smile and said, "This shop is indeed a little different, as long as you follow the rules, it's actually nothing." There are some things that you don't wonder if you see too much......"

Before he finished speaking, he frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the convenience store door.

"Dingding......

The string of wind chimes at the door of the convenience store shook rapidly, and a cold wind blew in from outside, and in the dark night, there seemed to be a figure shaking outside, but it did not enter the convenience store.

The middle-aged man held a cigarette, squinted at the door of the convenience store, and said expressionlessly: "I won't trouble you, and you won't touch my moldy head, don't play this kind of trick, dare to walk into the store and chop your legs!" ”

The vague and hazy figure at the door trembled, and then there was a long sigh, it was Grandpa's voice.

"Xiao Yan, go with grandpa!"

It was indeed grandpa's voice, and I subconsciously stood up and was about to walk towards the door of the store.

At this time, the middle-aged man pressed my shoulder and said coldly to the door of the store: "Old fox, this kid has already protected off a disaster for you, and he won't let him go?" Killing people is not too much, and the sins you created back then, the rest will be atonement and repaid by yourself! My store has been short of manpower recently, this kid has been living here for a while, don't come to harass him! ”

Outside, the grandfather was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Give me the sheepskin in his arms!" ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly and said, "The thief's heart is not dead, and sooner or later there will be retribution!" This thing should have been his, Zhou Zhenyao, you still have to think about how to escape that person's pursuit! ”

"Zong Yi, do you want to interfere?" Outside, Grandpa's voice became cold.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Don't think I think the same as you, Lao Tzu just thinks this kid is pitiful, no matter who lives or dies between you and the one in Lingnan, it's my business!" However, as I said, this kid entered this shop, and he was protected by me, and dared to do something to him here, you think about the consequences. My means, you should be well aware! ”

There was silence outside, and then the figure drifted away, and the grandfather's voice came faintly: "A month later, I will come to get the parchment, if you don't give it, it's a big deal......

The middle-aged man named Zong Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt and snorted, "The fish is dead and the net is broken? Are you qualified? ”

I wanted to chase it out and ask my grandfather some questions in person, but I was stopped by Zong Yi.

"What's the hurry, I didn't hear him say that he will come back in a month! Let's go, arrange your accommodation first, and for a while later, you can just stay in my store! ”

Zong Yi simply pulled me out of the door of the convenience store, came to a community a few hundred meters away from the convenience store, and knocked on the door of an apartment.

After a while, the apartment door opened, and a young girl with messy hair and a mask appeared in front of us.

"Which bastard...... Yo, Uncle Zong, it's you, what's the matter with coming here this big night? Well, it's not yet the day of rent collection! ”

This girl was originally a little angry, but after seeing Zong Yi, she immediately turned into a flattering color, and turned her face faster than turning a book.
