When I heard the old man say this, I couldn't help but mutter, "What's wrong today?" Everything you meet is unique? There is only one tailor shop in a small town, and there is only one family surnamed Chen. ”

We got that address without much delay. I set off in a hurry.

Wang Ji sent us directly to the train station. Skipping the tedious procedures and putting us on a train.

Old man Gu still overestimated us in the end, even if he took the fastest train, it was impossible to get to that place overnight. I guess the old man is talking about the speed of the little ghosts.

I haven't slept much these days, not because I don't want to. It's that I can't sleep. But now on the train, it's rare to feel sleepy.

I said to Mr. Lu, "I'll sleep for a while, and if anything happens, you can call me." ”

After I said this, I didn't get a reply, and I took a closer look and found that Xue Qian and Mr. Lu had already fallen asleep.

I sighed, took the cornucopia in my arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Mr. Lu was about to drop the cornucopia, I subconsciously stopped him. That's when I realized the wisdom of my decision. Every day at midnight, I feel my blood boiling. I can't help but drip blood, and this blood must go into the mouth of the cornucopia before I can exchange for a day of peace. If I had broken the cornucopia in the first place, I would probably have suffocated to death.

I remembered the feeling that life was worse than death a few days ago, and I shuddered and shivered.

But after my cold war is over. I found that the strange feeling really crept up on me. The blood was boiling all over me, and it seemed like it was about to burst through the veins, break through the flesh, and splatter out of me.

In my heart, the longing welled up again: "I want to drink blood." Drink my own blood. Not with my mouth, but with the mouth of a cornucopia. ”

I woke up suddenly.

I'm still sitting on the train. But the feeling in my heart did not fade, but became stronger and stronger.

I looked at my watch, and it was midnight.

Xue Qian and Mr. Lu were sitting opposite me eating instant noodles, and I also had one in front of me. It's just a pity that I probably don't have time to eat tonight.

I asked Mr. Lui, "How long will it take for us to arrive?" ”

Mr. Lu didn't raise his head, and said, "I asked the police just now, why do you have to wait after dawn." ”

Then, as if remembering something, he looked up at me and said, "It's time to drip blood?" ”

I smiled wryly and nodded.

Xue Qian pointed to the instant noodles on the table: "Lao Zhao." Why don't you eat something first? ”

I thought to myself, "I want to eat, but my hands are shaking and I can't even hold my fork." ”

I placed the cornucopia on the small table, bit my fingers, and put my palm inside.

I let out a long sigh, "Comfortable." ”

Maybe my sigh was too lingering, and the passengers next to me kept looking at me. Estimate the siege.

Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were no longer surprised, holding on to the side, eating and observing me.

After a while, I withdrew my hand. Take your seat. Immediately, I lost consciousness.

My vision is no longer a rocking train. It's a cave lit with fire.

The little imps looked at me gloatingly: "Brother, how's it going?" Can you escape? ”

I smiled and said, "Soon, we're on our way to Songcheng." ”

These little ghosts all sneered vigorously, obviously not believing my words. And I didn't bother to pay attention to them, I just sat on the stone and closed my eyes.

By the time I got back to reality, I realized that we had gotten off the train. I sat cross-legged outside the train. There are many people sitting or standing around, and they are looking at me curiously.

Xue Qian saw that I was awake and smiled at me: "Lao Zhao, the two of us got you off the train, but after a lot of twists and turns, many people suspect that you are dead." ”

I laughed and said, "You're still worried about how to get me back." If we don't go well this time, I'm afraid I'll have to die. When the time comes, you'll have a corpse with you, and I'm afraid you'll have a lot of trouble. ”

Xue Qian said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll find a crematorium to burn you on the spot, and then send it back by express." ”

The two of us were giggling and discussing what was going on with me, and Mr. Lu had already negotiated the price with the taxi driver. The three of us got in the car and headed for the town. While in the car, I devoured a few breads and barely filled my stomach.

By the evening, we were in the town.

The driver is gone, and we are wandering around this strange northern town. This town is even more shabby than the mining town, just a slightly larger village. We looked around, but we didn't find the so-called tailor's shop.

I pointed to a kiosk on the side of the road and said, "Let's go ask someone." ”

The commissary is small and old, almost like my grocery store. As soon as I walked in, I smelled of soy sauce. I saw a row of shelves behind the brick counter, and on top of the shelves, there were all kinds of knick-knacks.

The commissary is just as shabby as my grocery store, but it's not gloomy. Because there were four men playing cards with cigarettes in their mouths. Smoke fills the air, shouting five and drinking.

I coughed dryly and said, "Who's the boss?" ”

A shirtless, red-faced man turned his head. Holding a card in one hand and a cigarette in the other, he asked me, "Shopping?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't buy anything, I want to inquire about someone." ”

The boss let out a faint sigh, then sat back down at the table and continued playing.

I leaned back against the counter and asked, "Do you have any tailors here?" ”

The boss replied dryly, "No." ”

The three of us were a little disappointed, and Xue Qian asked Mr. Lu, "Did you get the wrong address?" ”

Mr. Lu took out the note, read the address on it, and asked, "Is this here?" ”

The boss said, "Yes, it's here, but there are no tailors." ”

Bored, I leaned over and took a look in the mirror behind the counter. This photo almost scared me. I saw that my face was pale and bloodless. It doesn't look like a living person at all.

If a stranger saw me, they would have thought that I was used to being indoors, so my face was a little pale. But I know that this kind of face is very unhealthy. I thought with some sadness: "I'm afraid I'm really going to die." ”

I was feeling sorry for myself in the mirror when a child ran in from outside and shouted at the boss, "Dad, I'm hungry." ”

I casually glanced at the child and was stunned. Because this child's face is similar to mine, and he is also very pale, and he has no popularity.

This kid is not from the city, and he is covered in dust, so he is obviously used to playing outside. He has this kind of face, does it mean that he will die soon?

I wanted to give my boss a heads-up, but as soon as I took a step, I was stopped by Mr. Lu. He whispered in my ear, "Let's not meddle in this matter, just wait and see what happens." ”

He then politely said to his boss, "Excuse me." Immediately, he took the two of us outside.

When I got to the street and saw that there was no one left and right, I asked Mr. Lu, "What happened to that kid just now?" ”

Mr. Lu whispered: "You see it right, this child's life is not long." ”

I said, "When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help." It is the duty of a cultivator to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Why don't you let me remind the commissary owner? ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Zhao Mang, although you can see that the child's situation is not good, but you can't see that the three people who are playing cards with the boss are not ordinary people. ”

I wondered, "What do you say?" Are they Taoist priests? ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "It doesn't have to be a Taoist priest, this place is far away from the Central Plains, and it is normal to have any strange side doors." The yin and yang qi in their bodies is a little wrong, and they must have dealt with ghosts and gods. ”

Xue Qian immediately reacted: "You mean to say that the child's situation is not good, it was these four people who did it?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head slightly: "I can't say for sure, the father and son in the commissary are just ordinary people." Maybe the boss doesn't know anything and treats them as buddies, but they are secretly harming people. Or maybe the boss found out that something was wrong with his son and invited these three people to be helpers. ”♂
