Chapter 44: The Scarlet Puppet
After getting in the car, I quickly called the second uncle first, but it didn't work as expected, and then I called the seventh master, but it still didn't work. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info finally hit Liang Ruoyi, and finally got through......
On the phone, Liang Ruoyi told me that many people are quietly rushing to Taibai Mountain, which seems to be Taibai Mountain, but now it has become a treasure coveted by everyone.
Bing Meiren said that she was in Taibai County, Baoji, and I was immediately happy, because the car I was sitting in happened to be going to Baoji. It's just unexpected that Liang Ruoyi also didn't contact the second uncle and the seventh master, as well as the Budai monk, it seems that in this operation, everyone is a single individual......
Hung up the phone, because I had been on the road for a day, and a lot of things had happened in the past two days, I was physically and mentally exhausted, I closed my eyes, and slowly fell asleep with Zhao Jing in my mind......
I don't know how long it took for the conductor to wake me up: "Hey, buddy, it's here!" Find a place to sleep! ”
I opened my eyes in a daze, saw that it was pitch black outside, frowned and asked, "Big brother, where is this?" Why don't you even have a building?! ”
"It's twelve o'clock at night, we can't enter the station, go straight south from this road for a hundred meters is the bus station, there are hotel taxis or something, you go over there to see!" The conductor explained to me.
I nodded and got up, and asked casually, "If you want to go to Taibai County now, do you still have a car?" ”
"You're going to Taibai County?!" The conductor's eldest brother looked surprised: "You said it earlier!" I will put you down at eight o'clock if you said earlier, you look for a car in the previous places and go directly to Taibai County, and now you have arrived! ”
I smiled wryly: "Thank you, I didn't know I was going to Taibai County before I got in the car, forget it, stay one night and leave tomorrow, thank you!" ”
When I got off the train, I paced the station by myself. Ironically, all I had left was my phone and wallet, and I almost lost my home.
This station is not Baoji terminus, but a small station in the suburbs, I found a random hotel on the side of the road with the lights on, took a shower, lay on the bed, but couldn't sleep.
Zhao Jing's death was still a big blow to me. I never thought that one day, there would be a girl who would die to save me, including Xiaoxiao. I have only met Zhao Jing about ten times, but she has such deep feelings for me...... I have never had a chance to repay this guilt in my life!
Thinking about the deepening of the operation, more and more people died, Sun Hu, Sun Bao, Zhou Jun, pig head, toad, and the Taiwanese big brother who used himself as a human bomb to injure the Chinese horseshoe crab -- the death of these people had a particularly great impact on me.
Sometimes, I really don't want to live in this world, seeing someone die right next to me, but I can't do anything about it......
Tossing and turning on the bed until two o'clock in the morning, still without any sleep, helpless, I could only flip through the photo album of my mobile phone, looking at Xiaoxiao's smiling face, and the cheap dog strong man, my heart slowly felt better......
"Smack, smack, slap......"
Just when I was feeling a little sleepy, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, very heavy and regular, as if someone was carrying a heavy object slowly coming up from downstairs.
It's three o'clock in the morning, who will stay at the hotel at this time! And it makes it so loud?!
I crept to my feet and crept to the door, following the cat's eyes and looking out. Because my room is diagonally facing the staircase, I can see part of it. In the dim light of the hallway, I saw a man with his back to me, hunched and walking up step by step, seemingly dragging something in his hand.
I looked at it a few times, and suddenly I felt that this back was somewhat familiar, but for a while I couldn't remember where I had seen it. This makes me scratch my head: because for more than a year, I have basically taken pictures of those people who have acted secretly, injured and wounded, walked and died, and there is nothing I haven't seen before......
But where have you seen this hunched back......
The man went up to the second floor, and I realized that he was dragging a large sack with bulging inside, and I couldn't tell what it was. The sack must have been heavy, and the man, who looked fairly strong from the back, stood at the top of the stairs and gasped for breath before turning around and looking around.
Hey? I've never seen this man!
This person has a round face and small eyes, slightly dark skin, a height of about 1.75 meters, a relatively stocky figure, and a small hair, I looked at it for a long time to make sure I don't know this person.
But why is it so familiar when you only look at the back of the rickety body?!
Just as I was thinking about it, the man suddenly turned around and walked straight to my door!
I was stunned for a moment, because the bedside lamp inside was still on, and there was a bright light, and if I flickered out at this time, I could detect someone watching him through the cat's eye outside, so I could only stand there and block the cat's eye with my eyes......
The man put his eyes on the cat's eye, and it was pitch black in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see anything.
After a few seconds, he turned to leave, cautiously walked to the opposite room again, and looked inside.
I'm a little wondering, what the hell is this person doing, the front desk of the hotel should be able to see it, why didn't anyone come to take a look?!
I was thinking about this when I heard another sound of footsteps, and the front desk downstairs really noticed the strangeness of this person and came up to ask.
Through the cat's eyes, I saw that it was not a beautiful woman at the front desk, but a middle-aged man, who looked familiar, and after thinking about it, I recognized it as the hotel owner who was resting on the sofa downstairs just now.
"What?" The innkeeper, with an accent of some nowhere, came up and asked the man.
"Forgot which room!" The man spread his hands and said.
"It must be a corner room, why are you still looking here!" The boss said with some displeasure: "If this is discovered, it will be troublesome!" ”
"Oops, it's past three o'clock in the morning, even if it's a mallet, I have to sleep now!" The man didn't care at all, it seemed that he should be very familiar with the boss.
"That's it, I'll take you!" The boss stretched out his hand and pointed to the end of the hallway, dragging the man over.
The man reached out and dragged the sack, and followed the boss with some difficulty.
I was immediately curious, first, I always thought that the man dragging the sack had seen somewhere, although only in his back; The second is that this boss doesn't look like he's doing a good deed, otherwise why would he be afraid that others would find out!
I listened closely, and after a while, I heard the sound of the door opening at the end of the corridor, and after waiting for a few seconds there were no more footsteps, then I cautiously opened the door, and after poking my head out to see that there was no one, I pretended to go downstairs and walked lightly to the bend of the stairs, leaned over to look, and saw that the little girl at the front desk had already fallen asleep on the table, so I hurriedly walked back, holding a mobile phone in one hand, pretending to be on the phone, and walked towards the room at the end of the corridor.
The door of the room was ajar, and I frowned, and when I saw that there was a dim light inside, and no one was making any sound, I held my breath and leaned in, looking through the crack in the door.
I saw the man with his back to me, facing a bed, packing up the sack - this scene once again struck me with a sense of déjà vu and familiarity, as if I had just seen it in a dream!
The boss had been at the head of the bed and didn't know what he was doing, I couldn't see it. The two of them were silent, and after a minute, the man completely removed the contents of the sack, laid them flat on the ground, and then walked to the head of the bed.
As soon as he left, I saw clearly what had been taken out of the sack, and I was startled, and I instantly remembered who this man was!
What was taken out of the sack was a blood-red humanoid puppet, all blood-red, exquisitely carved, and if it weren't for the countless evil things I had seen before, I would have thought that this puppet was a real person! Its head was facing me at the moment, and it was smiling with a smile on its face, which really made my hairs stand on end and I shuddered!
And that man, I also remembered because of this puppet: more than a year ago, in the hospital of Huimin County, Mr. Angelica's twin brother Han Yushan died, that night, I saw a man who was hunched and making blood-red paper figures in a utility room in the hospital, and the one in front of me at this moment was that person!
Obediently, I really didn't expect that the world was so wonderful, and I saw the old man a year ago in Baoji, thousands of miles away! I frowned, and I wondered. When I was in the hospital, I felt that this person was not a good person, and I wanted to burn the dead with red paper, which was a way to make the dead immortal and not be able to live forever.
The blood-red puppet in front of him...... My heart tightened: Could it be that this boss killed someone?!
"Let's get started!" Said the innkeeper.
"Don't look for me in the future." There was some impatience in the man's tone.
"What? You still don't want to do such a lucrative thing? I'll give you a lot of that, too! "The owner was a bit surprised.
"I'm not short of money." The man said in a deep voice: "Even if I am short of money, this kind of lack of morality, I don't want to do it, I will lose my life!" ”
"Okay!" The boss groaned and said, "There will be another batch next week, it has already been decided, you help me one last time, I'll give you a big red envelope, okay?" ”
"Hmm......" The man hesitated and responded, "Okay, after making this order, don't meet again." ”
The two of them did not speak again, and there was a sound of chatter in the room, and when I looked closely, I saw the two of them carrying one of them down from the bed, covered in blood, and stuffed into the blood-red puppet......
The moment I stuffed it, the corpse's head tilted to my side, and I immediately gasped: there were only two black holes left in this person's eyes, and it seemed that someone had dug them out!
