"Chapter 2: The Mysterious Old Man"

I couldn't sleep because of the nightmare last night, and after looking at the alarm clock on my desk and the bright sky outside, I got dressed, packed my bag and got ready for school. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I came downstairs and saw my grandfather busy in the kitchen, I thought of the somewhat bizarre thing last night, such a rapid heartbeat, and actually calmed down the moment my grandfather held my arm, which really made me a little puzzled.

"Went out so early and didn't eat?" Grandpa, who had been busy downstairs, hurriedly asked when he saw me standing still.

"Don't eat, there's a basketball game today, I'm going to train early, grandpa, go first." I picked up the blue sneakers on my feet and put on my school bag and walked out the door, and with a bang, the security door was closed.

"Eh, little..."

But the moment I closed the door, I didn't notice that my grandfather called me, and a subtle expression appeared on his old face, which seemed to have something unspeakable, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Looks like it's still here... Do you still refuse to let go after all? ”

In the hall, Grandpa shook his head, let out a sigh, and turned back to his room.

The weather outside was a little gloomy when I went out, and it was drizzling in the sky, according to the weather forecast last night, today's weather should be very clear, but looking at the current weather, it is estimated that something is wrong.

Because it is six o'clock in the morning, except for those old men and grandmothers who run in the morning, the streets of Nuoda are extremely empty.

I walked slowly down the street with my schoolbag on my back, and I couldn't help but recall the strange dream I had last night, the face of a horrible woman with no flesh color, and now I still have some scalp tingling in retrospect, which makes my mind a little trance now.

"Wait, young man!"

Just as I was still reminiscing about the bizarre nightmare last night, an old man with gray hair stopped me from behind me. Hearing the voice, I turned to look, the old man in front of me was a little short, the clothes on his body were the set of tunic that had long been outdated, some wide clothes were not so much worn on the body, but more appropriate on his body, at this moment, the old man was walking towards me step by step with a cane.

I looked at the old man, who was only up to my shoulders, and his pupils were a little dilated. If you are stopped by others, you should also ask what is right. But in the face of this old man, I was a little speechless for a while, and what I wanted to say was stuck in my throat, and at the moment, I could only look at the old man in front of me in a daze.

The old man, leaning on his somewhat worn cane, with his little old eyes blazing, looked back and forth at my body, and for a long time uttered something that shocked me.

"Young man, there's something unclean about you!"

Hearing the words of this old man of unknown origin, I was a little stunned and froze in place. I am an aspiring young man of the 21st century and an atheist, believing in science and opposing superstition. If someone had said such a thing to me before, I would have left without saying a word.

But after last night's nightmare, I can't help but have some faith in the old man's words, is it a coincidence? That horrible face from last night's nightmare, is that what this old man said was unclean?

"Old man, do you know anything?" I asked in a hurry, suspicious.

"Hehe, cause and effect in the previous life, there will be retribution in the end, this is also a calamity for you, the past is over, everyone is happy, but you can't get over..."

"It's just killing on the spot!"

When the last four words came out of the old man's mouth, I felt that the blood in my whole body seemed to be somewhat coagulated, and I looked at the unidentified old man in front of me at a loss. If so, then this old man must know something, and maybe, he can help me.

"Old man, can you save me?" Listening to what the old man had just said, I felt a little frightened.

The old man smiled without saying a word, and his withered right hand took out a business card from the pocket of his jacket, pointed to the address on it and said to me: "Hehe, young man, this is not the place to talk, come to me after school in the evening." ”

I took the business card in the old man's hand and looked at it carefully, and when I read the address on it and raised my head again, the old man who was in front of me disappeared out of thin air.

I looked around in disbelief, but there was no old man on the street, except for the few old people who were jogging in the morning. It was only a short ten seconds when I looked down at the business card until I raised my head again, even if it was a world-class sprint champion, it was impossible to disappear without a trace in this short ten seconds, this old man, it is indeed not simple!

I came to the school with a heart in mind, the school time is half past eight, there are still two hours before the class time, I alone with the basketball in my arms to the basketball court in the gymnasium, not far away, you can hear the sound of slapping from the court.

"Who's coming so early?"

I thought I was the first person to come to this school at this time, but I didn't expect that there would be someone who came earlier than me. I pushed open the door to the training ground and looked through the gap to see a somewhat fat figure practicing shooting in the team's jersey.

"Fatty, why did you come so early?" Pushing open the door, I shouted at the figure inside.

The fat man's real name is Li Xiong, and he is one of the few good friends of mine in this school. Because his body was a little overweight, we privately changed his name to Li Xiong, and when he was in person, he was called Fat.

Fat man, his life situation is roughly the same as mine, since he was a child, the fat man's parents have been doing business in other places, rarely come back once, and every time they go home, they don't stay long to rush back. Therefore, the fat man has been living in his grandmother's house

The fat man turned around and glanced at me, he threw down the basketball in his hand, and ran towards me with a smile, step by step, the fat on his stomach also shook sharply with the pace, this guy really needs to lose weight!

"Brother Qi, why did you come so early?" The fat man asked me with a smirk.

Seeing his stupid appearance, the originally frightened and heavy mood in my heart instantly improved a lot, after all, I have an iron buddy by my side who can tell the truth, which is a very happy thing for me now.

"I can't sleep, so I came early, but you, why did you come so early?"

The fat man scratched his head a little innocently and said, "Grandma went to the temple yesterday and said that there are some things to stay there all the time, so I have to stay in the hotel all this time, and it is not interesting, so I came over in advance." ”

Speaking of the fat man's grandmother, everyone in the local area knows that she is an old lady with an extremely eccentric personality. When she was young, her husband died, and since then she has entered the temple as a nun who practices with hair. I often shut myself up in a small dark room in my own house, not knowing what to do. According to other ladies who have a good relationship with this old antique, the fat man's grandmother practiced a strange kind of Buddhism in the temple, she can see some things that others can't see, and some local rich merchants and tycoons often ask her to watch her fate, so her reputation is comparable to that of her grandfather.

I slapped the fat man on the back of the head and laughed evilly: "Your grandma is out, so can you still be honest?" The heart is already wild now. ”

When I said this, the fat man smiled shyly, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly and smirked to himself.

"By the way, Brother Qi, today's basketball game ......" The fat man saw that he felt a little embarrassed about the current situation, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked about the basketball game.

"Hehe, today's game must be won, believe me, I'm here!" I shook my gurgling neck, last night's nightmare and this morning's inexplicable old man had long been thrown out of the sky by me in this relaxed atmosphere of conversation.
