Edamame pulled Dongdong away and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be like this fat man, he doesn't have a good brain and likes to talk nonsense, but I see that your face is blue and dark, and you are worried, is there anything bothering?" You name it, maybe we can help you! ”

The old man spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, scolded at edamame for being neurotic, and turned to leave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Edamame looked at the old man's back and said loudly: "Do you always feel stuffy in your chest, cough often, especially around three o'clock in the middle of the night, and sleep unsteadily at night, and often wake up?" ”

The old man stopped, and looked back at the edamame with some surprise.

"How do you know?"

Edamame smiled, took two steps forward and said, "Not only do I know this, but I also know that something strange must have happened in your house recently, either someone has a strange disease or something unclean." ”

The old man trembled and looked at Edamame in surprise, "You...... Who the hell are you? ”

Dongdong was scolded by the old man just now, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, so he snorted and said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it!" This is a well-known archmage in Jiangcheng City, and he came to you today to see if there are any demons and evil spirits! How dare you scold us!"

The old man stared at Edamame with wide eyes, and his face was cloudy.

Edamame felt his hesitation, and said while the iron was hot: "If you need my help, I can help, and I won't charge you money, but there is one condition, that is, if I ask you, you have to answer honestly." ”

"Do you really know how to catch ghosts?" As soon as the old man heard that he would not collect money, his tone suddenly loosened a little.

Edamame sighed, stretched out his right index finger, and said a few words lightly, and suddenly a faint green light appeared on his finger.

Edamame completely suppressed the old man with this hand, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize to Edamame, and then politely invited him to talk at home.

Edamame nodded and let him lead the way ahead.

The old man's house is not far away, a total of three tiled houses, and a small courtyard in front, which looks much better than the other houses around.

On the way, Dongdong gently pulled Edamame's clothes and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with this person?" Is it contagious? ”

Edamame glanced at him and said, "I'm not a doctor, how do I know what is wrong with him!" ”

Dongdong glared and opened his mouth, "Then you just said that he couldn't sleep well at night and his chest was suffocating, could it be that he was blind?" ”

Edamame pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "As soon as I approached him just now, I smelled a strong smell of leaf smoke, and the phlegm that spit out was yellow and bloodshot, and then looked at his black teeth, it was obviously an old smoking gun, and the lungs would definitely not be better. ”

"Oh......" Dongdong scratched his head and asked again, "And how did you know that his house was haunted?" ”

Edamame raised his hand and pointed to the three tiled houses in front of him, and said, "You see that there is a mirror hanging on the door frame of the three rooms of his house, and there are red cloth strips on them. ”

Dongdong looked in the direction of Edamame's finger, and sure enough, he found that the lintels of the three houses were hung with red cloths and mirrors, so he suddenly nodded in understanding.

Jiang Xiaoyan was a little scared on the side, reached out and hugged Edamame's arm and said, "Douzi, then there won't really be ghosts in this house." ”

Edamame felt the soft touch coming from his arm, his expression suddenly froze, and he quickly pulled out his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

The three of them followed the old man to the door of a tiled house on the left, and as soon as they opened the door, a strong smell came out of the room, as if something in the room was covered with rancidity.

Dongdong covered his nose and took two steps back, frowned and said to the old man: "I said uncle, what age is it now, don't you need to be so economical, you are reluctant to throw away everything that is rancid?" ”

Edamame was also smoked and frowned, leaning on the door frame and looking inside, the room was dark and not very clear, Edamame reached out and touched the door, touched a lamp rope, pulled it down, and the light bulb hanging on the roof lit up.

The room is not big, the furnishings are very simple, just a large wooden cabinet and a bed, and there is a mosquito net hanging on the bed, so I can't see the situation inside, but from the outline, there should be a person lying on the bed.

The old man took out a dry tobacco from behind his back, glanced at the edamame, and then took the lead and walked in.

The three of them looked at each other, and followed into the house, the smell of the house was even stronger, and the old man was smoking, as if he had long been accustomed to the smell, and there was no discomfort.

But the three of them were so smoked by this mixed smell of smoke and rancid smell that they wanted to retch, edamame hurriedly took out a large handful of toilet paper from his pocket, tore out two balls and stuffed them into his nostrils, Dongdong also blocked his nose in the same way, Jiang Xiaoyan seemed to care about the image, frowned at the appearance of the two, waved his hand at edamame and turned to go out.

The old man walked to the side of the bed, raised his hand to lift the mosquito net covering the bed, Dongdong leaned over with some curiosity to take a look, and was immediately frightened and took a few steps back.

"Zombies!"

The old man glanced at him, his face was a little ugly, Maodou was watching Jiang Xiaoyan go out, and when he heard Dongdong's shout, he was also startled, and hurriedly turned around and looked at the bed.

I saw a man lying on the bed who couldn't see his age, wearing only a pair of shorts on his lower body, his eyes were blank, his face was gray, his whole body was skinny, his cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his entire abdominal cavity was flat, as if there were no internal organs below, and the ribs were protruding high, and the whole person looked like a skeleton covered with skin.

Edamame's face changed, he reached out and probed under the man's nose, and he could still feel a faint breath, and he came over again in a trembling voice, and asked in a low voice, "Is this kid a human or a ghost?" ”

Edamame ignored him, turned his head and asked the old man, "Who is this from your family?" ”

The old man took a puff of his cigarette, sighed, and said, "This is my son......"

Edamame asked again, "How did he become like this?" How long has it been? ”

The old man said with a sad expression: "A few days ago, he went to the mountains to fetch firewood, and when he came back, something was wrong, it looked like people were in a trance, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted that he was hungry, and I went to cook for him, who knew that his amount of food was suddenly terrifying, and he ate a pot of rice and shouted that he was hungry, and I was afraid that he would not let him eat it......"

"It's nothing with a pot of rice...... I can finish it too. Dongdong interjected quietly on the side, the old man glanced at him, and lit behind him with a cigarette stick, Dongdong turned his head to look, and found that there was a large firewood pot with a diameter of one meter and a half behind him against the wall, and he immediately stopped talking.

The old man continued: "I thought he was tired, so he didn't care much, but then he ate more and more, as if he couldn't eat enough, a few days of work at home The food stored at home was almost eaten by him, but his body is getting thinner and thinner, my son used to be more than 180 pounds, tall and strong, but ......"

The old man shed two lines of yellow tears when he said this, and cried: "But it's only been a few days...... That's what he became. ”

Dongdong's face twitched, looked at the skinny man lying on the bed, and said in surprise: "You mean he has lost weight like this in just a few days?" Impossible, right...... Even if you eat croton for a meal, the weight loss effect is not so obvious! ”
