The puppet turned around in surprise: "Which eye did you see that I was a tailor?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "I see that my brother talks extraordinary, not like an ordinary ghost. There was originally an elm city in the purple middle town, and the old man in the empty house in yucheng said. He has an apprentice here. Opened a tailor's shop. ”

Smile lines suddenly appeared on the puppet's face: "Do you know the old man?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded: "We are good friends of Old Man Gu. ”

The puppet laughed, "If it's not for my master's good friend." I didn't know I was called a tailor. ”

Xue Qian asked curiously, "Why are you called a tailor?" Is there your tailor shop here? ”

The puppet smiled and said, "When my master traveled here, he happened to meet me, and at that time I was dismembered by this wicked man, trapped in the ground, and it was difficult to extricate myself. ”

As the puppet spoke, he tugged at the chain beside him. The old man on the other end of the chain groaned in pain. It seems that the wound was pulled by the chain.

He smiled and said, "My master rescued me. Ask me what I'm going to do. I said I wanted to find a tailor. Sew my body back together. When the master heard this, he laughed and said that he could open a tailor's shop here to sew corpses for imps. ”

I thought to myself, "That's how the tailor's shop came from." The old man is really enough. Tell us this kind of joke as a key piece of information, isn't he worried that we won't find anyone? ”

The puppet continued: "This place is not as big as the Central Plains, and there is no such great force as the empty house. In this place, the strong are respected, and there is no order at all. Powerful ghosts will oppress others at will, and their methods are quite ruthless. And the ghosts who are not strong enough are not to be outdone, and will use all kinds of insidious tricks to sneak attack. ”

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered what I had seen before. Xiaohu's family insulted the puppet mother and son, but the puppet couldn't beat Xiaohu, so they dug a trap. I laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's not a little ghost like this, right?" I think living people have this habit too. ”

The puppet seemed to have guessed what I was referring to, but there was no look of annoyance on his face, and he smiled, "Every dead ghost has been a living person. How bad the ghost is. People are as bad as they are. ”

At this point, he leaned over, reflected his face in the candlelight, and said, "Look closely, I don't look like anyone here. I'm a desert fleeing from another place. And I also learned how to deal with them from the locals. If it weren't for revenge, my soul would have returned to my hometown long ago. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "In this place, there are many people who know that my master is an old man. Therefore, if you don't mention the name of the tailor's shop, just come up and get close to me. I might be caught off guard and restrain you. Who knows if you're the rest of the ghosts in disguise. To deal with me? ”

It dawned on me, "I see." Your apprentices are very cautious. ”

The puppet smiled: "Can you not be cautious?" Back then, my master almost suffered a big loss here. ”

I asked, "What are your plans now?" ”

The puppet said, "I will supervise Xiaohu to divide his body." Then I went to my master, and thirty years later, came back and killed him. And after that...... Maybe I'll join the empty house and be a pawn, maybe I'll follow the master to cultivate, or maybe I'll be reincarnated and taste the world again. But...... To be honest, I have been too miserable in the world in this life, I have been displaced, I have suffered a lot, and I have not eaten a few full meals, so I am a little afraid of the world. ”

I laughed and said, "If it's peaceful today, you don't have to be afraid." ”

The puppet smiled: "Xing, the people are bitter." Death, the people suffer. The world is peaceful, what is the matter with Guan Shengdou Xiaomin? ”

I didn't expect that the puppet was so afraid of the world, so I could only laugh dryly twice and say, "Anyway, it's much better than in the early years." Most people are well fed. ”

The puppet nodded faintly, not knowing if he had listened.

After a while, he shouted to the boss, "What are you doing?" Why don't you dig a grave? I'll check it out later. ”

The boss reluctantly hugged his already frightened son back, and then came out with a shovel.

The puppet asked us, "What is the matter with you coming to me?" Did my master ask you to speak? ”

Mr. Lu said, "Your master is fine, don't worry. We came here to ask you to take us to Songcheng. ”

Pinocchio said, "What are you going to do in that place?" ”

Mr. Lu said happily: "Do you know that place? That's great. He pointed at me and said, "This apprentice of mine has encountered some things, so he must go to Songcheng." ”

Obviously, the puppet didn't want to go to Songcheng, so he asked the bottom of it: "What happened?" ”

I took out the cornucopia behind me and said, "I ......."

As soon as I said this, that feeling came again. I sat down on the ground and bit my finger off without even thinking about it. Then he stuffed it into the jar with ease.

I feel like my life is slipping. If that's how death works, then death is too comfortable.

The puppet looked at me: "This brother, what kind of hobby is this?" ”

I smiled bitterly and said to Xue Qian: "If I can't make it to Songcheng, remember to find a freezer to freeze my body." ”

Xue Qian smiled: "Don't worry, this matter is simple." ”

After I got this promise, I was taken to the cave by the cornucopia.

The little ghosts looked at me with smiles as if they had calculated that I would come at this time.

They asked, "Little brother, are you here to get us out?" "These people don't have the slightest look of expectation on their faces, they don't believe that I can save them, they are laughing at me. Estimating the macro array.

I sat down on the stone and said, "We are on our way to Matsuseong, and when we reach Matsuseong, we will be able to escape." ”

The ghosts laughed: "Is Songcheng the Western Heaven?" Why did you walk for so long and still haven't arrived? ”

I didn't bother to heed their ridicule, and sat down on the stone silently.

I'm quiet and nervous today because I feel something is wrong when I feed the blood. I think I'm probably dead this time. I was silently counting my heartbeat.

A normal person is about 70 times a minute. I'll count it sixty times.

I come here in the middle of the night every day and go back at noon the next day. Twelve hours. If I don't return to reality after twelve hours, my soul is indeed dead.

I counted silently like an old monk in a fixed place. Make a mark on the ground every half hour to mark it.

The old ghost saw me sitting quietly on the ground, and said with satisfaction, "Young man, you are right to do this. Give up hope early so that you don't suffer. ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and counted in silence.

When I estimated that the time was about right, a ray of light enveloped me. I breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I'm not dead, I'm still alive." ”

When I was so happy, I got a little carried away. The ghosts said one after another: "Little brother, you have to come back sooner or later, what are you proud of?" ”

I opened my eyes and found myself sitting on the street of the town, surrounded by candles that had burned a floor of wax and had long since been extinguished. And Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were sitting next to me, not knowing what they were looking at.

I was a little angry in my heart, but I just woke up, and my body was still a little uncomfortable, so I said vaguely: "What's the matter with you two?" Did we spend the night in this place? Why not rush? ”

Mr. Lu turned around and said lightly: "There is only one shuttle bus a day in this place. Depart at 12 noon. I calculated, no matter how fast we travel on our two legs, it is not as fast as taking a car. ”

I had to nod my head in acknowledgement. I asked Mr. Lui, "Where did the puppet go?" What time is it? ”

Mr. Lu said: "It's almost noon now. As for the puppet......" he took out a sewing kit and said with a wry smile, "This kid must attach his soul to this." ”

When I was talking to Mr. Lu, Xue Qian didn't interject, just looked ahead with interest.

I looked over strangely and asked, "Old Xue, what are you looking at?" ”

Xue Qian pointed across the street. I saw the boss and the dog sitting there.

The dog's face was much better than yesterday, and the whiteness of dying was gone. But his expression was very blank, and he couldn't stop drooling, wetting his clothes.

I exclaimed in amazement, "Stupid? ”

Mr. Lu nodded: "A teenager is not stupid when he is scared by a ghost." ”

I saw the boss wipe the saliva from the dog's chin with his big hand, and then coaxed him word by word: "I'm your father, remember?" ”

The dog nodded blankly.

The boss said expectantly: "Call Dad." ”

Gou Zimu shouted in a daze: "Uncle." ”

There was no disappointment on the boss's face, only Mu Ran, who was almost desperate. He quickly rekindled hope: "I am your father, and your name is father." ”

Gou Zimu shouted in a daze: "Uncle." ”
