Although Dongcheng Magu Hutong is in a messy area, it is a place where all three religions and nine streams are in awe.

There lives a well-known fairy girl, who is said to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods, and even the high-ranking families will quietly invite them to do tricks when they encounter difficult things.

A young man with a clear eyebrow looked curiously at everything around him.

The low and dilapidated houses, the clutter piled up in the corners, the sewage flowing on the ground, and the occasional sound of children crying and laughing, all of this made the teenager feel new.

This novelty is hidden under caution.

The idlers who sat at the base of the wall and looked at the boy in boredom forced him to be careful.

It was a place he had never been to, and it was a landscape he had never seen before.

But when he came to a fork in the road, the young man still stopped, and his eyes showed a little dazed.

The young man stopped for a moment, and had no choice but to walk to the side of the road and ask a woman who was walking back with a laundry tub: "Auntie, how do you get to Magu Hutong?" ”

The woman glanced at the young man, and saw that the young man had a clean and delicate face, but the clothes on his body were very ordinary, and his eyes instantly became subtle, and Nunu said, "Just go over there." ”

The boy thanked him and walked in the direction the woman had pointed.

The woman's hand holding the laundry tub tightened, looked at the young man's back, and then stopped, and finally shook her head and walked briskly towards her home.

The young man had only walked out more than ten feet away, and a young man in his early twenties spit out the grass roots in his mouth to the ground, stopped in front of the young man, and said with a smile: "Little brother, where are you going, stay and play with my brother." ”

The boy frowned instantly.

The girl told her to come to this kind of place to change into men's clothes, otherwise she was afraid of getting into trouble, this person was not blind, what did she want a "stinky boy" to stay and play?

It turned out that this young man was Ah Man dressed as a man.

Ah Man is tall, he is in his teens, and he is not obtrusive in men's clothes.

Well, the girl also said that if there are still people dressed in men's clothes who come out to find trouble, then spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Ah Man firmly remembered his girl's advice, took out a few copper coins from his purse and stuffed them into the young man's hand.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then picked up a copper coin and blew it, and said with a smile: "The little brother is quite interesting, but the brother really didn't look for you for money." ”

That's not enough money!

Ah Man took out a string of copper coins and put them in the young man's hand, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

It's a pity that the girl told her repeatedly, if she can't get into trouble, she won't get into trouble, otherwise she can lift it up and throw it at the root of the wall with one hand on the weak chicken in front of her.

The young man obviously didn't expect this ordinarily dressed teenager to knock out a lot of money.

Don't look at the copper plates given by Aman, you must know that this is a place where the poor gather, and the vast majority of people live a life of hunger, and these copper plates are enough for one person to eat meat and steamed buns for several days.

The young man stared at the purse that Aman hung on his waist, and reached out and pulled it down unceremoniously.

Ah Man clenched his fists, suppressed his anger and said, "All the money is given to you, can I pass?" ”

The young man laughed again: "Little brother, don't worry, my brother is really not for money." ”

It's just that he wants the money.

"And what are you for?" Out of the corner of his eye, he swept to a few idlers not far away, and Ah Man asked.

"It's for you, little brother, my brother likes you when he sees you." The young man had apparently become more and more unscrupulous because of Aman's constant concessions.

Ah Man looked at the young man coldly and stretched out three fingers.

"What do you mean?"

"My master said that there are no more than three things." Ah Man stepped forward expressionlessly and narrowed the distance between the two.

The young man felt that something had pierced his body.

It was a mysterious feeling, he could clearly feel the resistance of the flesh against the object, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

The young man looked down and saw a golden hairpin piercing into his lower abdomen, most of the hairpin body was left outside, and the lifelike magnolia flower on the hairpin seemed to be able to smell the fragrance.

At this moment, a thought crossed the young man's mind: if he runs away now, this golden hairpin will belong to him, right?

But for some reason, the young man's legs were firmly nailed to the ground, and he didn't move a single step.

"It doesn't hurt, does it?" Ah Man's tone was calm, and it fell on the ears of the young man, unspeakably weird.

The young man's head slammed, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

It didn't hurt, he really didn't feel any pain.

Why doesn't it hurt? How can it not hurt?

The golden hairpin left in the small half of the lower abdomen did not make the young man feel terrible, a person like him was a street bastard, this injury was really nothing to him, but he saw blood but did not feel the slightest pain, and the young man's heart was furious.

In the blue sky and white day, isn't he hitting a ghost?

It's not far from Magu Hutong, and the fairy girls who live in Magu Hutong can communicate with ghosts and gods, so it's not impossible to encounter a ghost occasionally, right?

"It doesn't hurt, does it?" Aman's calm voice sounded again.

"No, it doesn't hurt—" The young man knotted his tongue.

"It's okay if it doesn't hurt, but it will hurt by tonight, and it will hurt more and more every day in the future." Aman's voice became lower and lower, like an invisible silk thread wrapping around the young man's throat, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

It turned out to be a coward, I really don't know what the girl is doing with such a person.

A Man's eyes flashed with disdain, and his voice was as thin as a gnat: "If you don't want to die of pain in the end, remember to take this golden hairpin to the second private room on the second floor of the Wufu Teahouse at noon three days later."

The young man didn't wake up from a dream until Aman turned into the alley in front of him.

"Ah Fei, why are you standing stupidly?" People who often hang out together on weekdays surround them.

"Nothing—" The young man quickly pushed away the man who had patted him on the shoulder, and ran away.

Regardless of whether what the strange boy said is true or not, no one else can see this golden hairpin!

"Is Ah Fei sick?" The man who was pushed away cursed.

"Look!" One of them pointed to the ground and said in an agitated tone.

Several people looked down and saw the blood stains on the ground, and they couldn't help but change their faces.

"Obediently, Ah Fei has hit a hard stubble, right?"

"I have long felt that Ah Fei's quick temper is going to cause trouble, so let's disperse, disperse."

Several people walked back to the base of the wall and returned to their idleness as if they had nothing to do.

Ah Man walked into Magu Hutong and stopped in front of a house with a jade rabbit lantern.

The dwelling is old, and although it looks quite complete, the wooden door has deep traces of time.

Aman stepped forward to call the door, and soon a girl opened the door.

"I'm here to find the fairy girl."

The girl, apparently accustomed to this, pulled the door open and said, "Come in."

Aman followed the girl into the house.

Cigarettes curled in the room, and a middle-aged woman with her hair combed in a bun sat cross-legged with her eyes slightly closed, quite a bit of fairy wind bones.

Hearing the movement, the woman opened her eyes: "What do you want?"

"Are you Liu Xiangu?" Ah Man came to the woman and asked calmly.
