Chapter 41: The Beggar

Xiao Liu saw that my brows were furrowed, and he also guessed that things were not easy to do. He asked, "Master Zhao, can't I find my sister-in-law's soul?" ”

I sighed and said, "I'll tell you the truth, with my strength, it's really hard to find her." Hey, Xiao Liu, I'm really ashamed of the title of master. Look at me, I'm only in my early twenties. Perhaps, you find an older, more experienced master, and they may have a solution. ”

Xiao Liu smiled bitterly: "In this world, how can there be so many masters. Mr. Zhao, you are the most capable person I have met over the years. ”

Then, he clasped his fist at me and bowed deeply. Thanksgiving, needless to say.

The silent young man who had been following him all the time also did the same, and bowed down to me in a panic. I have to say that the two of them really look like husband and wife at this time.

We broke up outside the brick tower. Xiao Liu took the boy back to take care of his unconscious sister-in-law. And I plan to go back to the hospital to see Xue Qian.

I was walking on the street, thinking for a while, but I didn't pay attention to where I went, and suddenly I heard a crisp children's voice, muttering in a low voice: "One Zhao Mang, two Zhao Mang, three Zhao Mang." ”

I couldn't help but wonder, "Who's calling my name?" This quantifier is not used correctly, at least we have to talk about 'one', how to talk about 'Zhang'? Even if you give me 'only', it's one thing. ”

I looked down and saw a child sitting on the steps, counting with a handful of change, and chanting my name as he counted.

I squatted down and asked, "Hey, kid, you didn't learn Chinese well in elementary school." Sue me, why do you say my name? ”

The child held the money in his arms, looked at me and said, "Someone asked me to inform you to go to the police station to get something, and I was afraid that I would forget your name, so I kept reading it in my mouth." ”

When I heard this, I didn't think much of it, and naturally thought that the police were going to give me back the broadsword. So he asked the child, "Where is the police station?" ”

The child pointed behind him: "Isn't that what this is?" ”

I looked up and saw that there was a police station behind the child. I patted my head and said to myself, "What's going on today?" It's confusing. ”

So I lifted my feet and walked to the police station. When I walked to the door, I hesitated again: why is the light so dim in this police station?

Suddenly I came back to my senses: Something is wrong, how does this kid know that I am Zhao Mang?

I jerked my head back and saw some children down the steps. There was only a bright candle, an incense burner nailed from cardboard, and a stack of paper money pressed against stones.

I thought to myself: No, I have to hurry up.

However, I was just about to take a step when I felt a hand reach from the back of my neck and gently press it on my throat.

Immediately after, a cold voice said, "If you don't want to die, come in with me." ”

As soon as I heard this voice, I couldn't help but cry out in secret, this voice was none other than the evil spirit under the brick tower.

I slowly turned around, and then I realized that behind me was not a police station, but an ordinary courtyard. There is a mourning flag hanging on the gate of the courtyard. It seems that this family is dead.

The demon grabbed me by the neck, and I didn't have the slightest chance to escape, and he held me hostage.

When I entered the courtyard, I found that the small courtyard was dark, and only a few main rooms were lit up. A woman's voice was whimpering and crying in the room.

There is no family or friends, and it looks very bleak.

The demon said to me, "The child of this family has just died. ”

It dawned on me that I thought, "That makes sense." When a child dies, he won't make a big deal in the first place, not to mention that it's the middle of the night. Even if you have close relatives and friends, you can't dare to come for a while. ”

I tried to stabilize my feelings for a while, and then said to the evil ghost in the most kind voice: "Big brother, the kid who was at the door just now, could it be him?" ”

The evil ghost snorted and said, "That's right, the child had better deceive, I taught him a few words casually, and he agreed." Hey. If it weren't for him distracting you, I wouldn't have been able to catch you so easily. ”

I want to cry without tears: "Big brother, we have no grudges in the past, and we have ...... recently" But my recent hatred has not been said. And the demon's hand tightened violently.

He said viciously: "I stayed under the brick tower for a good time, you destroyed my bones and turned me into a homeless ghost, do you dare to say that there are no complaints in the past?" ”

I wanted to excuse myself, but he was clutching my throat so hard that I couldn't say a word.

After a while, the demon slowly let go of me. said miserably: "Also, don't call me big brother anymore." No one was so close to me when I was alive, and when I died, I didn't need it anymore. ”

I shuddered and asked, "Then what should I call you?" ”

He sneered: "Everyone calls me stinky and begging for food, what are you pretending to be stupid?" ”

It dawned on me at this time: "No wonder he keeps holding a broken bowl in his hand." ”

I have the heart to procrastinate and wait for the dawn. The bones of the demon have been destroyed by me, and he is already very damaged, and as soon as the morning dawns, he will have to let me go.

So I started to talk around: "Big brother, you must have been a feng shui master when you were alive, right?" Otherwise, how can you know how to bury yourself under the brick tower? Use the evil aura of the reverse dragon to make yourself so powerful? ”

The evil ghost sneered and said, "Lao Tzu died there, but he was forced by you rich people." ”

I hurriedly denied: "I'm poor jingle, I'm not rich." ”

The demon didn't care about that, and grabbed my hand a little tighter.

I only heard him say: "Back then, I was begging for food, but I lived under the brick tower, and that place could shelter me from the wind and rain, which was no better for me." ”

I cheekily complimented him: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, the eldest brother is simply a dragon and phoenix among people, and you also moved in that carved big bed, right?" ”

The demon nodded, "I picked up that bed." I tinkered with it and put it underneath. Hehe, sleeping in that bed, I really feel like a landlord is old. ”

The evil ghost laughed twice, and suddenly said with a sad face, "What if there is a bed?" I still can't get enough to eat. One day I was so hungry. So he went to the butcher's house and stole some meat to eat. Someone found out and released a big black dog to catch me. I was so frightened that I tried to run away from the wall, but the black dog was so fierce that it bit off a piece of meat on my ankle. I was so anxious that I couldn't do anything about it, so I jumped down to the wall, and I fell on the rocks and broke my leg. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and think to myself, that's really a bit miserable.

The demon continued, "I thought I would just jump out of the wall. Unexpectedly, the butcher still refused to let me go. led the black dog and chased him out. I dragged my broken leg and fled all the way to the bottom of the brick tower. He was afraid that I would make trouble inside, so he didn't dare to come down, so he simply tied the black dog to the exit and guarded me like this. I endured it for two days, but I couldn't get out, and on the third day, my broken leg was swollen bigger than my waist, and I just wanted to escape, but I couldn't. ”

When I heard this, I forgot to be afraid, and said with some sympathy: "It's miserable." ”

The demon sneered, "I won't know until I'm dead." It turns out that for us poor people, living is a sin, and I have become a ghost, and I can eat whatever I want, and I can see the body of someone's daughter-in-law if I want. Hehe, recently there was a stupid big sister who mistook me for her husband and came to me every night. Tut-tut, that's not bad. ”

The demon sighed obscenely. Suddenly, he looked fierce again, grabbed my neck and said, "It's a pity that this qiē has been ruined by you." You've broken my bones, making me weaker than ordinary imps, and you'll have to be tied to anything. ”

I shuddered and asked, "Big, big brother, you are not weak, you are very strong." ”

The demons looked at me fiercely, murderous.

I was so scared that I thought I was going to die. Suddenly, there was a movement in my heart: if this ghost wanted to kill me, he could kill me as soon as he entered the door. Why have you been talking to me for so long? This shows that I still have value for use.

Thinking of this, I boldly asked, "Big brother, do you need me to do anything?" ”
