Chapter 001: Self-deception
Jiangzhou, downtown, top floor of Science and Technology Building.
"I can't remember why I left home, I went to the place where I used to work in a hazy way, I accidentally met an old classmate from many years ago, I went to him, but he was miserable, their dormitory was in an abandoned church, the church was dark and damp, the ground was pitted, and there was no extra bed, I said I wanted to go, he tried his best to keep me, but there was only one desk in the church when I was in school, he spread a pair of jeans and a shirt on the desk, and asked me to sleep first, and then go out to look for a job when it was dawn, I asked him how he was doing, He sighed and turned around to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, I said brother is waiting for me, and when I break into the hall, I will definitely take you out of here. ”
"Well, go ahead."
"When I left, it seemed to pass by the rented house back then, the first store at the corner of the street, which was full of bags of peppercorns, a short but very beautiful girl was busy in an apron, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, I felt that I had seen her a few years ago, she was very beautiful, very diligent, I wanted to talk to her, but I couldn't pull my face. After I left, I put on a particularly handsome suit and walked in the streets where migrant workers gathered, everyone was looking at me, and everyone was very envious, but I walked all the streets, and I never found the pepper shop. ”
Li Zifeng got up and asked him: How long has this dream been bothering you?
The customer said: Three days, three days in a row, this dream, my classmates did not let me leave the church, had to let me sleep on that desk, the clothes and pants on the desk were wet, I could only see the pepper shop once, no matter how I looked for it, I couldn't find it in the future.
Li Zifeng walked around the store for a week and took a silver needle, "I need the blood on your third vertebrae, okay?" ”
"Nope."
The silver needle was inserted into the customer's vertebrae, and a drop of blood overflowed from the needle hole, and the female assistant Zhao Xingyue used a straw to stain the blood and drip the blood into Li Zifeng's left eye, who was lying down.
"When I go back, buy two pots of good wine, a stack of yellow paper, and go to the crossroads to pay respects to your classmate." After a while, Li Zifeng sat up straight, washed his left eye with eye drops, and prepared to send off the guest.
The customer glared and asked, "That classmate of mine is dead?!" When was this?
"Four days ago, Xiqiao Reservoir, drowned."
The customer asked: What about the little girl in the pepper shop? Why can't I find her all the time?
Li Zifeng didn't want to answer this dream, so he told him: When you go home, buy a pot of epiphany, remember that it has never bloomed, put it on the balcony during the day, put it at the bedside at night, and you may get the answer at midnight one day.
The customer nodded, and as he walked out of the store, he glanced sideways at the sign above the store.
Dream interpreter.
This shop is not opened by Li Zifeng, it is his master and old watch, Chao Qingfeng's belongings, the two of them make a living by interpreting dreams, and also sell all kinds of ghost-catching props, and can even help catch ghosts in person, but the price is not expensive, ordinary people can't afford to use it, the shelves of the store are full of yin and yang rulers, willow wood, town house mirrors, five-baht coins, ink bucket lines, charms, it can be said that there are all kinds of ghost-hunting props.
There was not a single mistake in the dreams they analyzed, and anyone who bought ghost hunting props here never encountered anything strange. In order to put an end to congestion, the two discussed raising the price and changing to receive ten people a day.
"How many?" Li Zifeng asked the girl next to her, her name is Zhao Xingyue, she just graduated from college, she was looking for a job during her internship, and she wanted to be a dream interpreter's assistant, because she wanted to see ghosts, which really made people cry and laugh.
"Brother Feng, it's time for the ninth."
A graceful and luxurious young woman, dressed in a hip-wrapping skirt, black stockings, and red high heels, walked through the screen and sat opposite Li Zifeng, "Master, I have a dream recently, you can explain it to me." ”
"Say."
The young woman's skin is white and tender, she can be broken by blowing, and the corners of her eyes always reveal a flattery, "Master, I have been dreaming lately, in my dream my husband beat me, he beat me very badly, every time he beat me in a different way, and insulted me, once we went back to the countryside, he actually took a bowl of stinky dung and poured it on my face, and poured it into my mouth, my husband loves me so much, how can I have such a dream?" Master, you can solve it, money is not a problem. ”
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Zifeng closed his eyes and whispered, not looking at the young woman at all.
The young woman twisted her delicate body and said angrily: "Of course it's true, you men love to tell lies, hum." ”
Li Zifeng said: "If you want to hear the truth, I have to need the blood on your third vertebrae." ”
"Huh? It hurts. The young woman clutched her chest with a frightened look.
Li Zifeng spread his hands, "Then it's better to tell you a lie." ”
"Don't, I want to hear the truth."
Li Zifeng took the silver needle, but before he could insert it, the young woman's thin waist straightened, and she screamed out, Li Zifeng had a black line on his face, and said: "It's just disinfected with alcohol cotton, and it hasn't started yet." Li Zifeng's technique was very fast, almost painless, and the needle was inserted and received in an instant, and a drop of blood gushed out of the young woman's white back.
Zhao Xingyue dripped blood into Li Zifeng's left eye.
"Huh?" Li Zifeng's face was red and white for a while, and it was only a few seconds of effort, he trembled, sat up straight, and squeezed out the blood in his left eye, "Uh...... Are you sure you want to hear the truth? ”
"Think, tell people about it." The young woman grabbed Li Zifeng's hand and shook it around, and Zhao Xingyue next to her was disgusted, and said that this must be a bus.
Li Zifeng quietly withdrew his palm and pursed his lips, "Your husband really loves you very much, since he loves you very much, I think, I'm sorry for his business, try to ...... Do less. ”
"You, what are you talking about?" With this puzzled expression, the young woman is enough to win this year's Oscar.
Li Zifeng said: "If the East Window incident happens, I'm afraid your husband will not only kill you in a dream, you know what I mean?" ”
"You're sick, aren't you?" The young woman was so angry that her face was flushed.
Li Zifeng stood up and put his hands behind his back, "In my place, whether you are a Jiangyang thief or a thief in the market, whether you are smuggling arms or selling drugs, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to traffickers and pawns, if you want to analyze accurately, you must tell me the truth." ”
"Sick, you're sick!" The young woman took a thousand yuan and left angrily.
……
Zhao Xingyue heard for the first time that a customer questioned Li Zifeng, and couldn't help but ask more, "Brother Feng, what you just said was a lie, right?" ”
Li Zifeng was stunned and said: "The truth, the world can't hear the truth, just cover your ears and steal the bell." ”
"That woman should be annoyed and angry when you told me about the matter, right?" Zhao Xingyue asked again. Li Zifeng nodded, "She went to the hotel again yesterday and stayed all day, and there were two men in that room besides her." At night, she dreamed that her husband was going to kill her, but in fact, she was a thief with a weak heart, and her own heart was making trouble, those who let loose their feelings were in danger, and those who abstinent were safe, nothing more. ”
Zhao Xingyue looked adoring and asked, "Brother Feng, are you really like what they say, can you see ghosts and catch ghosts?" ”
