Chapter 3: Shoulder patting

The difference between reality and movies is really big.

In horror movies, if people encounter a ghost, their first reaction must be to scream, and then they will run away, and maybe they will have to fall hard to catch up with the ghost.

But what is the reality?

When I looked at Ma Laosan, let alone escaped, I didn't even have the courage to shout for help, and my whole body seemed to be out of control, and I didn't dare to move.

Ma Laosan's face was the same as his face when he died, and it was extremely white.

The lifeless look in his eyes looked very rigid, like the kind of paper figures sold in a wreath shop, not the slightest threat, but extremely weird.

"Ah.....h

At this time, Ma Laosan opened his mouth coldly and let out a hoarse and low roar.

It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't even spell a word.

"Hemp...... Brother Mazi ....... "I was bold, and I tried hard to pretend that I was not afraid, and asked him: "We have no grievances in the past and no enemies in the near future....... What's the matter with you coming to me? ”

When Ma Laosan heard my words, the low roar from his mouth stopped, and he stared at me deadly, as if he was thinking about something.

After about half a minute, I saw that he had no intention of attacking me, so I slowly moved back, intending to find an opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ma Laosan suddenly moved, rushed over and grabbed my arm, and dragged me hard.

"Brother Mazi!! We have something to say!! Are you ....."

didn't wait for me to finish speaking, only to hear a sound of eager footsteps outside the store, Ma Laosan's body also trembled at that moment, directly let go of my arm, and took several steps back.

When I looked back, it was none other than the old man.

"Ma Lao San of the dog day!! You call Lao Tzu to help you!! You're here to scare my grandson?!! The old man seemed to be angry at that time, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his face was full of anger: "Get out of here!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will make you unable to even be a ghost!! ”

As soon as the scolding fell, Ma Laosan disappeared abruptly as if he had evaporated.

To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a ghost, and the first time I believe so much that there are ghosts in the world.

No matter how bold I was, at this point, I was really scared.

When I looked up and saw the old man, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and I even crawled and hugged his calf: "Master! Why is Ma Laosan back?!! ”

The old man looked at me like this, spat with disdain, and said, "Look at your unproductive appearance, a little ghost can scare you like this!" I don't care about you! ”

I slowly got up and asked with palpitations: "Master, that Ma Lao San just now...... It's a ghost, right? ”

"It's not a ghost, it's a human?" The old man replied angrily, and kicked me again after speaking: "Go upstairs to sleep for Lao Tzu!" ”

Seeing that he was too angry, I didn't dare to ask more, so I could only be obedient and swallow all the questions in my stomach first.

I didn't sleep well that night, or rather, I didn't dare to close my eyes and sleep at all, for fear that Ma Laosan would come to me again, so I could only stay up all night.

The next morning, I was going to go to the old man and ask for an explanation.

But when I went downstairs, I found that the old man had already gone out, and there was still a note on the counter, saying that he had gone out to play mahjong and asked me to solve lunch by myself.

When I saw the note, I was so depressed that I was about to wash my face when I heard a knock on the door of the store.

When I walked over and opened the door, I saw that it was none other than Qibao standing outside the door.

"Ouch, Brother Shen, looking at your sad face, which mother-in-law do you want?" He asked me with a hippie smile.

Shippo and I have known each other since we were children, and it can be said that they are iron brothers who grew up together in open crotch pants.

After graduating from college, he relied on the fact that his family had money and his uncle was the leader of the Public Security Bureau, so he didn't look for a serious job, and he used the pocket money given by his parents to make a living.

"Think of a fart." I gave him a blank look.

Qibao smiled and walked over to put his arm on my shoulder: "Let's go, go to South Street to eat!" ”

"No, I still have to look at the store here." I said helplessly.

"I just met your grandfather at the door of Old Man Li's house, and he asked me to take you out for a walk, saying that you are stupid to stay in the pharmacy every day." Qibao said earnestly.

I thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense, so I followed him out the door.

When passing by Ma Laosan's fortune-telling parlor, Qibao's expression suddenly became mysterious.

He leaned into my ear and whispered to me, "Do you know how Ma Laosan died?" ”

"What the hell? Isn't it just hanged? I asked him.

Qibao seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, and lowered his voice and said, "Listen to my uncle, this Ma Laosan has prostituted Miss Lady too much, and she has a fatal illness......

"Sick?" I asked, confused.

"Yes, it's just a disease, it is estimated that Ma Laosan can't accept it, so he hanged himself."

"Is it AIDS?"

"I don't know, anyway, listen to my Lao Tzu, when the forensic doctor turned Ma Laosan over, his back was densely packed with holes, just like a lotus pod, very disgusting!" Qibao said, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and said with a frightened face: "This is not the most disgusting, the most disgusting thing is that those holes are full of insect eggs, I heard that they are all parasites!" ”

Speaking of which, Shippo seemed to be disgusted and shivered, and I was disgusted.

I remembered that Ma Laosan once asked my grandfather for help...... Could it be related to the parasite behind him?

Seeing that Qibao knew a lot of the inside story, I asked some things about Ma Laosan in detail, and basically asked everything Qibao knew, but I still didn't have a clue.

By the time Qibao and I were ready to go home, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

When I passed by Ma Laosan's fortune-telling parlor again, Qibao pulled me suddenly, made a look, and motioned for me to look to the left.

I turned my head and found a person lying on the side window of Ma Laosan's fortune-telling parlor.

The man didn't know what he was doing, he was lying on the window and kept glancing in, kicking the wall a few times from time to time, and it felt quite heavy.

Does this person have anything to do with Ma Laosan?

I motioned for Shippo to wait for me, and then walked cautiously over.

I saw that the man had a flat-cut screwdriver in his hand, kept scraping the wall ash between the cracks in the wall, and then put the screwdriver into the gap in the window, as if looking for something.

At this time, he seemed to feel that someone was approaching, and he suddenly turned his head vigilantly and bumped into me in the face.

The man frowned, quickly put away the screwdriver, wrapped the scraped wall ash in paper, and then asked me, "What do you see?" ”

As soon as I heard him speak Mandarin, I replied in Mandarin: "I didn't see anything." ”

"And what are you doing here?" He was a little impatient.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him rhetorically and continued, "I think you're very naΓ―ve, you don't want to steal, do you?" ”

He didn't answer my words, but stood there and was silent for a while, and then suddenly his attitude turned 180 degrees, and he changed his smile and said to me: "Oh, I'm here to string relatives, and I heard that there are dead people here, so I ......was curious for a while."

Before he finished speaking, he walked up and patted me on the shoulder, looking hello and I was good.

"Little brother, I'm sorry."

The moment he said this, the man didn't hesitate any longer, and ran away, running as fast as if he were a thief.

I tried to catch up, but he ran away.

Seeing this scene, Qibao also felt that something was wrong, and walked up to me with a puzzled face and asked me, "What's the matter?" ”

"How do I know?" I looked at Qibao helplessly and complained, "You don't say go up to chase him when you see him running?" ”

"This turtle is running too fast, and when I react, the person will be gone." Shippo shrugged.

I shook my head, didn't say anything more, and then subconsciously touched my shoulder, only to feel that the position of the person was a little itchy.

At first, I scratched it twice, but the more I scratched my shoulder, the more itchy it became, and finally it was itchy to my bones!

"What's wrong?" Shippo asked me, "Bitten by a mosquito?" ”

"Where do the mosquitoes come from in this weather....... I just feel itchy......." I said through gritted teeth, pulling my clothes down a bit.

In the next second, Shippo and I were silent.

The skin and flesh that had been patted by that person had already developed a dense red rash at this time, and all of them were concave, and it was as scary to look at as a hole.

I don't know if I scratched it or something else.

At that time, the holes were belching with blood and a fishy smell......
