Chapter 3 Water Vapor
Xu came and asked her to talk about it.
"When I first entered the door, all three of them had something painted on them, red and bright, and I thought it was blood at first, but then I touched it and found that it wasn't." Chen Duo said.
"The landlord is quite bold." Xu said.
"Of course! You still don't listen! "Chen Duo is not angry, she has yin and yang eyes, from childhood to adulthood, she sees those unclean things every day, she can't think about it too much, this is not nonsense.
"Listen, keep talking."
"Those things are like being burned on the skin, and you can't wipe them off, but in the blink of an eye, they are suddenly gone, don't you think it's strange? To be clear, I'm definitely not blind. Chen Duo said.
Xu asked her to describe what she saw carefully.
"It looks like some big and small symbols, twisting around, looking weird, I can't tell what they are, I've never seen them before." Chen Duo recalled.
"Can you draw a few and see them?" Xu Lai asked.
"You wait." Chen Duo took out his mobile phone, and his finger drew a symbol on the screen, and when he saw it clearly, he drew two more, "I just remember that these strokes are the simplest, and they don't look very similar, but they're about the same." ”
Xu Lai asked a few more details and said, "This is a Yin tattoo, and the tattoo is a rune." ”
"What's that?" Chen Duo was stunned.
"A tattoo technique, if you don't have yin and yang eyes, you can't see it at all." Xu said.
"And this!" Chen Duo was shocked.
"When you went to see them, did the three of them have pink faces and bright lips, but their bodies were cold, they didn't breathe or have a heartbeat, and they didn't have any wounds on their bodies?" Xu Lai asked again.
"yes, yes, how do you know?" Chen Duo was surprised.
I heard him say: "Actually, when you first entered, the three of them were not dead, and they were not really dead until the yin tattoo faded." ”
"Huh?" Chen Duomu, she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Don't think too much about it, even if you knew they weren't dead, you wouldn't be able to save them." Xu said.
Chen Duo was speechless. That sounds comforting, but why does it sound so infuriating?
Besides, the three of them are all beating, how can they still be alive. This guy is a half-mage, maybe it's nonsense!
"The ones you just drew are a kind of rune that is tattooed on a person's body with the technique of piercing yin, and when the rune penetrates through the body, the person is dead. Afterwards, there is no shadow, and ordinary people can't check it out at all. By the way, landlord, is this house rented? ”
Chen Duo originally nodded again and again when he heard it, but he didn't expect him to jump elsewhere all of a sudden, stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Rent it to you, rent it to you!" ”
"What about the rent?" Xu Lai asked.
"Half for you." Chen Duo has no temper.
"The hosts were so nice! So it's decided, when will the contract be signed? Xu said.
"What's the hurry, wait for tomorrow. When do you move over, say hello to me, and I'll give you a hand. Chen Duo said.
I heard him say, "No, I have everything on me, and I can stay here at night." ”
Chen Duo sweated. What the hell is this for?
"That's not going to work, there's no sheets or anything, how do you sleep?" Chen Duo said that although there are all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances, there are no other things.
Xu Lai pointed to the sofa: "You can nest here for one night." ”
"Alright, alright, whatever you want." Chen Duo was really defeated by him, and patted the room key to him, "Sign the contract and wait for tomorrow, you live first, and your rent will not be counted before the contract." ”
Xu Lai took the key and said with a smile: "The landlord is so generous. "Take off your backpack and throw it on the couch.
"Hey, it's two days away." Chen Duo said, looked at the sky outside, and said, "How about going down and having a meal together, can it be regarded as celebrating your entry?" ”
"Okay."
The two closed the door and went downstairs.
When I came out of the community, the rain had stopped, the air was damp, and the smell was exceptionally fresh. At the beginning of the day, the streets are full of pedestrians.
Chen Duo took him into a nearby restaurant, sat down by the window, and ordered good food, Chen Duo said that there were several shopping malls nearby, and he could go there to buy some daily necessities after eating.
Xu Lai wrote down the address.
"You can buy toothpaste, towels or something, and duvet covers and sheets are more expensive over there, so you can buy them online." Chen Duo suggested.
Who thinks that he said that online shopping is not very convenient, or buy it over there.
Chen Duo sweated for a moment: "Big brother, it's still too troublesome for you to shop online, take out your mobile phone." ”
I saw Xu Lai take out a keyboard and mobile phone, and the screen was so small that it was almost impossible to see.
"That's all you need?" Chen Duo has a black line, what kind of person is this, he still uses this kind of old antique.
"Yes, in the past, the profession of a mage was mainly based on simplicity." Just listen to Xu.
"Hurry up and change, I can't keep up with the times." Chen Duo said, "What do you want to buy, I'll buy it for you first, the sheets and quilts." As he spoke, he turned on his phone.
Xu Lai simply picked out two sets, bought some daily necessities, and wrote down Chen Duo's mobile phone number: "Next time, I will give you the rent together." ”
"It's fine." Chen Duo said, glanced at him, and asked with some gossip, "When did you start doing this?" ”
"Six." Xu said.
"Really?" Chen Duo didn't believe it at all, "Then you don't have to go to school?" ”
Xu said: "I haven't been there, it's all self-taught." ”
"Then you don't even have a high school diploma?" Chen Duo was surprised.
Xu said yes.
"You've been fooling around for so many years, and in the end, the mage didn't learn anything, and you didn't have a degree, it's too miserable, right?" Chen Duo felt a little pitiful when he thought about it.
As soon as she said this, she immediately realized that she was speaking too directly, for fear of hurting his self-esteem, and hurriedly said: "Hehe, it's okay, education is not so important now." ”
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Duo got up and went to the bathroom.
Xu Lai sat there and looked around for a while, this restaurant is quite popular, and there are quite a lot of customers. After a while, I saw Chen Duo coming out of the bathroom, but he didn't go this way immediately, but went to another table.
There were about six or seven people at that table, all young men, men and women. Chen Duo seemed to have said something to one of them, Xu Lai thought she had met a friend, and she didn't think much about it, at this time, the waiter brought the food up, and he helped serve it.
When he looked back again, he saw that Chen Duo seemed to have a conflict with the person at the table and quarreled.
He was about to go over and take a look, when he saw two waiters come forward to persuade him, Chen Duo walked back with a black face, and sat down on a chair angrily.
"What's the situation?" Xu Lai asked.
Chen Duo pointed to the table: "Did you see that woman?" The one with long hair and white dress? ”
Xu glanced at it, nodded and said, "I see, it's beautiful." ”
"Who asked you this!" Chen Duoqi.
"So what do you ask?"
"You pretend to go to the toilet and go over to see if the woman is covered with a layer of moisture?" Chen Duo said.
Xu Lai glanced over there again and said, "It's true." ”
Chen Duo is so angry, he can see a ghost from such a distance, and it is not so perfunctory to be perfunctory!
"I'm a mage, unlike you." Just listen to Xu.
"Let's eat." Chen Duo didn't bother to bother with him, he sulked alone, and took a piece of black pepper beef tenderloin with chopsticks to eat.
"Who is this, your friend?" Xu Lai asked while eating.
"Who's friends with her!" Chen Duo said angrily, "It's my former classmate, and the primary school and middle school are in the same class." ”
Xu Lai was surprised: "It's quite fateful, it should be a good friend." ”
"Good friend, ghost!" Chen Duo said angrily, "This woman has money in her family and has the temper of an eldest lady, and she has been bullying people at school since she was a child. Others are afraid of her, but I am not afraid of her, so I will do it against her! ”
"It's a sworn enemy." Xu said naturally.
The more Chen Duo spoke, the more angry he became: "I just went to the bathroom, I didn't expect to meet her here, you also saw it, the layer of water vapor on her body?" ”
"What's wrong with the vapor?" Xu Lai asked.
"I've seen this kind of moisture once before, it was an uncle who lived nearby, and the uncle died two days later. I inquired and said that I had a strange disease, and the whole person was shriveled. I just wanted to go over and remind her. Chen Duo said.
"Aren't you at odds with her, isn't that what you want?" Xu came strangely.
Chen Duo glanced at him angrily: "Big brother's life is at stake, even if I don't deal with her again, then I won't want her life, right?" ”
Xu Lai smiled and said, "Then what did you tell her?" ”
"I told her that she was sick and asked her to go to the hospital for a check-up." Chen Duo said.
"No wonder people are turning their backs on you." Xu Lai couldn't cry or laugh.
"Otherwise, how would I tell her? Say I can see things that others can't? Chen Duo said angrily, "Be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, whatever she wants!" ”
"That's it, let her die, let's eat." Xu said.
Chen Duo snorted, he was also bored and ate vegetables, with a stinky face, but his mood was not high.
"Actually, you and her are not mortal enemies, isn't it right for you to die?" Xu said.
Chen Duo glanced at him: "What kind of mentality do you have?" This person hates it, it's a human life. ”
Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you want her to listen to you?" ”
"Do you have a solution?" Chen Duo looked at him.
Xu Lai took a sip of lemon juice and said, "You go over again and ask her if her waist is very sore, her head is very heavy, her eyes are swollen and painful, especially at night, the whole person is itchy, but she can't tell where it is, like an insect bite." You say so. ”
"Really?" Chen Duo will be skeptical.
"I don't lie to you, go ahead." Xu said.
"That'...... Did I really go? Although Chen Duo didn't believe it, when he thought about this person after all, he might really see something.
Xu Lai waved his hand, let her go, and eat the vegetables with her head down.
Chen Duo hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and walked towards the table.
Xu Lai drank lemon juice, and when he saw that Chen Duo hadn't approached yet, two waiters greeted him, probably because he was afraid that she would go to the scene again and catch up to persuade her.
Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh, looking out the window, it was already dark at this time, but the streets were full of traffic and pedestrians, and it was still very lively.
Before he went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to become the head of the sect, he still often walked around the place, but now the city is much more prosperous than before, and it is changing really fast.
Just as he was out of his mind, he heard the sound of footsteps, and Chen Duo and the girl in the white dress walked over one after the other.
