I felt nervous all of a sudden, as if a terminally ill patient was taken to the hospital by a family member for a check-up, and then the doctor quietly told the patient the bad news.

I asked Brother Facial Paralysis: "What's the matter here, why are you still pushing me away?" ”

Brother Facial Paralysis looked at Li Yingxue, who nodded at him and said, "Just say it, don't worry." ”

Brother Facial Paralysis thought for a long time and said, "Boss Chen, there is no fire on your shoulder." ”

I turned my head to look at my empty shoulders and asked him, "What are you talking about, what fire?" ”

As soon as I said this, I immediately understood what he meant!

There is a saying in our hometown, of course, which may be said in the countryside of the whole country, that is, a person has a fire on each shoulder, and this fire will make dirty things dare not come near you at night.

Some people walk well at night, and they will suddenly encounter a ghost hitting the wall, and the old man said that this situation is that the fire on one of the shoulders of the person is blown out by the ghost, so they can't find their way home.

But I've never heard of anyone putting out a fire on their shoulders, and I don't quite understand what that means.

"Only the dead have no fire on their shoulders."

Brother Facial Paralysis looked at me and said this sentence word by word.

At that moment, my whole body did freeze a little, what do you mean, he means that I have died a long time ago?

But the next second I was sure that the old fox was joking with me again, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't talk the fuck, we are in business, and we are taboo about these things." ”

Unexpectedly, he shook his head seriously and said, "I didn't talk nonsense, after what I observed just now, there is indeed no fire on your shoulder." ”

"How did you observe?" I questioned him.

Brother Facial Paralysis said a lot of things, all numerology things, I didn't understand at all, and I was a little annoyed to listen, so I waved my hand and said: "Don't say it, what is not hot, I don't understand, in short, Lao Tzu is still sitting here and talking to you, you can eat, drink and sleep, this is not a good life, where is the dead man." ”

Brother Facial Paralysis explained: "Lao Chen, don't worry, what I'm talking about is not the death you understand, but another, it's a spiritual death, not a physical one, can you understand when I say this?" ”

"I understand a fart, you haven't graduated from fucking elementary school yet, and you're playing philosophy with me for a while, and you're going to be with my spirit and body?" I didn't say it angrily, it's not that I have a bad temper, anyone who hears others say that you have died a long time ago, it must have exploded a long time ago, and I am still good-tempered.

"Chen Ming, I understand what he means, not what you understand." Li Yingxue said suddenly, and then he asked Brother Facial Paralysis: "Can you see when it happened?" ”

Brother Facial Paralysis stared at me for a long time and said, "My Taoism is too shallow, I can only see it, it was probably when Lao Chen was seven or eight years old, and I really can't see the specific days." ”

Li Yingxue immediately turned her head towards me: "When you were seven or eight years old, did anything happen to you?" ”

"Seven or eight?" I searched my head slowly, and found that I didn't seem to remember anything important, so I shook my head and said, "No, I don't remember exactly." ”

"Think carefully!" Li Yingxue's attitude suddenly became a little resolute: "Think about it carefully, something must have happened." ”

I thought for a long time and said: "There really is nothing strange happening, if you want to talk about the big thing, that is, when I was eight years old, my mother was gone, my father went out to work, and my grandfather couldn't take care of me, I grew up in my second uncle's house in those years, except for these, there is nothing big!" ”

Li Yingxue suddenly became interested: "Your second uncle? Is it the one who left you those heavenly books? ”

"Book from heaven? What heavenly book? I asked her.

"It's your old manuscripts that you can't read, I remember you said that he left those things for you, right?"

I nodded: "Oh, you said those things, they were indeed left by him, what's wrong?" Does this have anything to do with him? ”

Li Yingxue didn't speak anymore, but lowered her head and was thinking about something, I wanted to ask her, but I found that the paralyzed brother was squeezing his eyebrows at me, as if he wanted to say something.

He stood up and said, "You two talk first, I'll go outside and buy a pack of cigarettes." ”

When he stood up, he gave me a look and asked me to go out with him, and I also stood up and said, "Is the bathroom in your shop well decorated?" I went to the toilet. ”

The two of us walked out, and the paralyzed brother lit a cigarette and said, "Lao Chen, don't be angry about what I just said, I can indeed see it." ”

I also smoked one: "What am I angry about, I don't care what you say about the spirit or body, anyway, Lao Tzu is living a good life now, what do you do so much." ”

He patted me on the shoulder and said, "There is another matter, your daughter-in-law was next to me just now, and it is not convenient for me to say." ”

"You say."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your daughter-in-law, there is no fire on your shoulders." ”

I'm not surprised by this, after all, I have almost accepted the setting that Li Yingxue is not a normal human being, but I don't care about hair, anyway, she is usually no different from ordinary people, and she is quite happy to get along, as long as she is not like Bai Suzhen, who will change her appearance and scare people for a while, everything is easy to say.

I pretended not to care and laughed and said, "That's right, it's not a family, not a family." ”

Brother Facial Paralysis didn't seem to expect me to care so much, and said seriously: "Lao Chen, I'll talk to you about business, your daughter-in-law is not ordinary." ”

"It's pretty, isn't it? I also thought," I put out my cigarette and said, "Okay, don't worry about me, I know what kind of way she is." ”

After saying that, I went in, and after a while, my brother with facial paralysis also walked in, and just happened to meet Li Yingxue who stood up and said to him: "Thank you today, my problem is solved, let's go." ”

"Okay, okay," Brother Facial Paralysis said, "If you have something to call, Lao Chen." ”

I made a gesture and walked out of the shop with Li Yingxue, and as soon as I went out, she asked me, "What did you go out to say just now?" ”

I thought I was acting quite well, but I didn't expect to be poked by her directly, so I touched my head embarrassedly: "I thought I hid it from you, I didn't say anything, but he said that there was no fire on your shoulders, I said that we are not a family, not entering a family, just right, hahaha!" ”

But this joke obviously didn't amuse Li Yingxue, she turned her head and said to me: "Chen Ming, you have to tell me about your second uncle, you have become like this now, it may be because of him." ”

I didn't expect her to come to such a sentence, and I was a little confused: "What do you mean by him?" ”

She said: "Before, in the villa, the charm in the stove, I said it was to escape you, why are you afraid?" Because you're a scarier thing than a charm. ”

"I'm just a big living person, how can it be more terrifying than any charm? What do you say? ”

She didn't answer my question, but continued: "Actually, I found out that you have a problem, but I haven't been able to say, when I found out that the soul sucking furnace was closed in a ghost, I wanted to use this opportunity to verify your body, so I locked you up with it, but you also saw it, it was scared and disappeared, only a puddle of that thing remained." ”

I was told that my head was messed up, and I asked her, "I don't quite understand these things you said, anyway, you tell me that I am a thing that is more terrifying than a charm, how sure are you?" What the hell am I? I don't think I'm any different from you, huh? ”

Li Yingxue said: "I can't tell you what you are, and I don't know the impact on you." ”

Hearing her say this, I suddenly felt a little pitiful.

In fact, when I was a child, I still felt that I was a very happy person, although my mother was gone, but my father and my grandfather still loved me, and there was a second uncle, but after I arrived in the capital, I felt that I was unlucky, but I didn't feel that I was unhappy, but when I came to Li Yingxue, now I actually made me wonder if I was a person, I was a thing, and I was confused about this matter, so I was too much of a failure.

I was thinking about it, when the phone suddenly rang again, I opened it and saw that it was a text message from the person on No. 88: "The fat man's affairs are eyebrows, look at your mailbox." ”
