―― At this time, a gust of wind rose on the street, and the already unclean town was immediately blown into a miasma. This kind of scene is very common, and anyone who has lived in the countryside is used to it. And I inexplicably remembered two lines of poetry: Call Sun Dasheng today. It's only because the demon fog is back.

This dust does look a bit like demon mist. And a few of us, I'm afraid we have to play the role of Sun Dasheng.

I asked Mr. Lu, "Let's take care of this child's business?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "Zhao Mang, you are really a good person who sacrifices himself for others. How long do you have to live? Can you take care of this kid? ”

As soon as Mr. Lu said this, I remembered that I was still holding a cornucopia in my arms. I sighed. said: "That's right, I can't live long, why do I care about others?" ”

I took two steps, then couldn't help but stop, and said, "Although I don't have long to live, it seems that I can't stand by and let this child die, right?" ”

Xue Qian smiled next to me: "Old Zhao, you can't die." As the saying goes, good is rewarded. Seeing a great good man like you, the bull head and horse face have to hide. ”

I laughed and said, "But as the saying goes, good people don't live long." Bad guys live for a thousand years. ”

Mr. Lu did not participate in our argument, he kept looking at the houses around the commissary. After a while, he said, "You're right, saving this child is just a matter of convenience, and we can't leave now anyway, so let's delay here for the night." ”

Follow our plan. This town is just a stopover, and once we have found the tailor, we should rush to Songcheng without stopping. But strangely, there is no tailor shop here, and we asked a lot of people, but we didn't know that there was a tailor here.

Xue Qian said: "Since this tailor is the apprentice of the old man, eighty percent is not a living person. Instead of asking people during the day, we should ask ghosts at night. ”

Mr. Lu agreed, sat down under the shade of the tree, and said, "Let's sleep for a while, recuperate, and in the evening, have a good search." "Evaluate the bowels.

I had already slept a long time on the train, and I didn't feel sleepy at this time. But Xue Qian and Mr. Lu couldn't hold on. The two of them leaned against the tree and fell into a deep sleep.

I sat on the floor, looking at the commissary from afar, and I saw the kid running out of the shop. Or kick a small tree, or pick a piece of wall skin, very naughty, but also very lively, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you're going to die.

The child played outside from noon to evening, and when the smoke came out of the house, he was reluctant to go back.

At this time, Xue Qian and Mr. Lu also woke up. The three of us divided the dry food and devoured it.

I sighed and said, "When Wang Ji invited me in the past, I always felt that I was tired of eating too much fish and meat. Now eat wotou and drink cold water. If you think about it carefully, it's still comfortable with big fish and big meat. ”

Xue Qian leaned lazily against the tree and said, "When these gods and ghosts are over, I want to eat big fish and meat every day, eat it into a big fat man, and make the tattoo of Zhong Kui behind me unrecognizable." ”

I imagined Xue Qian, who was fat, and Zhong Kui, who was deformed behind him, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.

When we had eaten and drunk enough, the sun had set.

Mr. Lu clapped his hands and stood up and said, "It's time for us to work." Find a random imp from this place and ask who the tailor is. ”

Mr. Lu's ghost charm is carried with him, and the only thing missing is candles. Actually, we had incense sticks with us. It's just that we don't worry about the kid and want to see him again. So we went into the commissary and bought candles.

When I entered, I saw a dim electric light inside. Under the lights, the four men were still playing poker.

At this time, I didn't need Mr. Lu to remind me that something was wrong. How can a normal person sit in a chair for a day and play poker all the time? No matter how big the card addiction is, it has to be active.

The boss turned his head with a cigarette in his mouth, and when he saw that it was the three of us, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked with some hostility, "What do you three want to do?" ”

I said, "I want to buy candles." ”

The boss muttered, "Three outsiders, what candles to buy?" ”

He took out a flashlight on his own initiative: "Use this, it shines far, it is convenient to hold in your hand, you are not afraid of wind or rain, and it is not easy to cause fire." ”

I laughed and cried, and said, "We just want to buy a pack of candles." ”

The boss muttered a few words, rummaged through the shelves, and then pulled out a pack of candles.

Mr. Lu said again: "Is there any incense?" The kind that burns inside the temple. ”

The boss said, "Only the kind that burns on the grave." ”

Mr. Lu smiled: "Well, the same thing." ”

The boss not only took out a pack of incense, but even took out a few stacks of paper money: "Do you want paper money?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled: "You still have everything." ”

Then we took out the money, bought all the money for the incense candles, and put them in our bags.

The boss didn't smile: "Incense candle paper money is nothing, I even sell wreaths here." Who made me the only commissary in this realm? ”

My heart moved, and I asked, "Do you make clothes for people in this commissary?" ”

The boss said, "I'm not a tailor here, why do I make clothes?" He looked at me and said, "You haven't forgotten to find a tailor?" To tell you the truth, we don't have this person here. ”

I laughed dryly, and then turned my head, I saw the child sitting on a stool, quietly watching TV, it seemed that there was nothing serious, but the atmosphere in the room was a little abnormal. It's as if the whole world knows that a big war is about to break out, and this kid is the only one to hide.

The boss said, "I still have soju and chicken here, do you want it?" The little imp on the grave likes these two things the most. ”

Mr. Lu laughed dryly: "I don't need this." We are not here to go to the grave. Then he walked us out of the store.

When we were about to go out, I heard the boss sneer behind us: "Three strangers, come to me to buy incense, candles, and paper money." Didn't you come back to visit your ancestors' graves? That's weird. ”

As soon as the three of us went out, the commissary closed its door. This is actually very understandable, this town is too small, and there are no guests anyway, so it is better to close the door early and rest. It's just that this move confirms one thing even more, the three people who played cards with the boss were not residents here, and they spent the night at the commissary.

The three of us walked away from the distance, found a secluded place, lit the candles one by one, and set them out on the road.

Strange towns in the north, strange nights, strange candles.

I looked at the flickering candlelight and felt a sense of desolation in my heart.

At this time, Xue Qian squatted on the ground and said: "When I was in college, from time to time, someone would light a candle downstairs in the girls' dormitory to confess. I had never done this kind of thing in my four years of college, and I thought that I would stay away from this kind of thing in my life. I didn't expect to break the ring after graduation, and what I have to wait for is not a beauty, but a ghost, which is really not quite right. ”

Xue Qian's words made me laugh, and the original sense of desolation was gone.

According to Mr. Lui's request, we set up the candles in a formation. According to Mr. Lu, the Yin Qi within a radius of ten steps is now higher than elsewhere. The imp will definitely be tempted to run over.

Now the three of us are like mousetraps, and the candle array on the ground is the bait. Mr. Lu was even worried that the bait was not fragrant enough, so he took out the ghost charm from his bosom and lit it on the candle.

The three of us didn't deliberately dodge, but lowered our breath and stayed by the side.

Mr. Lu said with some pride: "Don't worry, as long as there are little ghosts here, you will definitely be lured by me, and when the time comes, Dao Ye will torture him, and he will recruit everything." ”

Xue Qian asked, "What if there are no imps in this place?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "No way, unless the people here are immortal. ”

As soon as we finished speaking, we saw two figures on the side of the street in the distance. One big and one small, holding hands, walked towards us.

There were no street lights in the town, and we could only use the hazy moonlight to make out that the taller one was a woman, the shorter one, and eighty percent of them were her children
