Chapter Twenty-Four: The Resurgence

Xiao Wenlu drove a pickup truck and dialed the shopkeeper's phone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He was going to resign from the shopkeeper. One of the reasons is that he never stays in one city for a long time, because staying for a long time is bound to have acquaintances; The second reason is that the shopkeeper's words and deeds have deepened his doubts more and more, and since he can't see through him, it is better to simply stay away from him.

"The old driver took me, I want to go into the provincial capital. The old driver is in poor health and can't pick wildflowers. The old driver is in poor health and will not go on the wild horse. The little brother has never been greedy for flowers, and has a wife and a doll at home. Ah......h

A deafening ringtone rang on the other end of the phone, Xiao Wenlu's body trembled, and he almost hit the barrier in the middle of the road, and slammed the steering wheel to correct the direction, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Wenlu swore in his heart that he would never call the shopkeeper again in the future.

After a while, the phone answered: "What are you doing?" “

Xiao Wenlu cleared his throat: "Boss, I want to resign." “

"Why?" The shopkeeper's voice was not at all surprised, as if it had not been at all surprising to him.

"Because of something at home, we're leaving the city for a while. Thank you for taking care of us during this time, it is a pleasure to work for you, we will see you later. “

"I'll come back when I'm done with my family."

"Thank you, still no, we don't want to delay your business, you can find a better cashier! And ......"

"And what?"

Xiao asked for a bite and a bite: "Two people with secrets get along together, I'm afraid something will happen after a long time." Don't you think? “

"I don't know what you're talking about." The shopkeeper said lightly.

"It's about the ring bridge. You've gone to great lengths to get me over and over again, and you must know something. Do you need me to say more about the rest? Xiao asked for directions and suddenly got a little angry. He felt that he had been being played by this pretending shopkeeper, and that nothing had ever happened to him.

"What's the matter with the ring bridge? When did I get you over? “

Pretending to be stupid! Xiao Wenlu was so angry that he honked his horn violently.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I've got something going on these days, so I'm asking you not to go to work for the time being, and the store is temporarily closed. It's okay now, our store is back in business. When you're done with your family, get back to work. I'm waiting for you. After speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao to ask for directions to answer, and hung up the phone directly.

"......" Xiao asked the way, and asked the sky speechlessly. After a long time of psychological struggle, I finally drove in the direction of the "Forget Words" grocery store.

The pickup truck stopped at the entrance of the "Forget the Words" grocery store, Xiao Wenlu walked up the steps and walked into the store, and Xiao Lili rested on the recliner at the door as before.

On the glass door, the "Temporarily Closed" sign still faces outside. The shopkeeper was still dressed in black, wearing sunglasses and reading the newspaper, and Xiao Wenlu even wondered if he could see the words on it, or if he was just posting.

"Aren't you going to settle your family's affairs?" The shopkeeper didn't raise his eyes, but he knew that it was Xiao who came in, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"I ......"

"When you're done, stay here. With you, business is good! ”

"Jingle bell" sounded, and the bell at the door rang. A young girl pushed open the door, poked her head in, and timidly asked, "Is your house closed?" ”

"Nope." Xiao asked for directions and walked to the door, pulled the door open, and let the girl in. Then he turned the sign at the door and turned the words "in business" to the outside. He walked to the back of the cash register, put on his clerk's apron uniform, and said, "What do you need?" ”

Although he was talking to the girl, his eyes drifted in the direction of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was also watching him. The eyes of the two people met in the air, and the complex and meaningful eyes collided, sending out sparks of "crackling".

Taizi Village.

In the Zheng family's mansion, Zheng Xiangqian curled up on the bed in the bedroom, motionless.

A few months ago, after all of his spells had been dispersed by Xiao Grain, he had to lie on the bed for three days before he could barely get off the ground.

His body was weak, not only because of the dissolution of the spell, but also because of the rush of fire. Over the years, he has relied on his own spells to tell fortunes for others, give halfway directions, and make a fortune. Now, the rice bowl for eating has been smashed by Xiao Wenlu's father and son, and he has no choice but to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life.

Moreover, he has been closed these days, mainly because he is afraid of the two evil stars Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili, and he is worried that they will be in a bad mood one day and come to him again.

Although Xiao Lili was just a child, he was more scared than Xiao asking for directions. With just three or two clicks of his mana, his mana was clean, and the Dao was far higher than he imagined. And what scared him the most was the four words that Xiao Wenlu said in his mouth: "Half-ghost spirit child".

When he thought about the meaning of these four words, he couldn't help but tremble. Xiao Lili's childish but extremely cruel and cold face constantly appeared in his nightmares, which always woke him up.

He was even a little lucky: he encountered this kind of extremely difficult "thing" that only appears in legends, and it was too fateful for him to be alive.

It was dark, Zheng Xiangqian got out of bed and barely ate some dinner. After eating, Zheng Xiangqian was a little sleepy again, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When he was sleeping in a daze, Zheng Xiangqian suddenly hit a stirring spirit and sat up suddenly. It was pitch black in the bedroom, only the window shimmered with a figure!

Zheng Xiangqian screamed in fright, but found that he couldn't make a sound. He tried to reach for the bedside lamp next to him, but found that he couldn't even move.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and just as he wondered if he had been pressed on the bed by a ghost, the figure suddenly moved. Then, a voice that was neither male nor female, not old, neither tall nor low, and not slow sounded: "Do you remember who I am? ”

It's a special voice that you won't forget it if you hear it once. Zheng Xiangqian quickly remembered, and was suddenly so frightened that he almost became incontinent.

"If I hadn't cast a 'secret charm' on you, I'm afraid that the last time I was asked, you would tell me who I was, right?"

Zheng Xiangqian was so anxious that he wanted to shake his head desperately, but he couldn't move.

"Do you remember what I said when I taught you spells? When I need you, you must be unconditionally at my beckon. Now, the time has come. ”

If it weren't for the fact that his body couldn't move, Zheng Xiangqian would have rolled to the ground and kowtowed to this person. How could he forget? Decades ago, when Zheng Xiangqian was ruined and cornered, this man appeared like a ghost, taught him some spells, and forced him to make an oath of unconditional obedience on this condition, and then drifted away. Over the years, he has not been heard from and has never appeared again, and Zheng Xiangqian has almost forgotten that there is such a person. But now, he's back.

"I don't think you will forget. Now, do as I command! The voice faded away, and the figure printed on the window disappeared in an instant. Zheng Xiangqian's body regained consciousness, and he saw the shadows of the trees outside the window, suspicious of reality, making him wonder if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

However, he knew right away that he was not dreaming. He felt as if a gust of wind had suddenly blown in his head, and all his thoughts were blown away by the wind like pieces of paper, getting farther and farther away from him. When the last bit of thought was gone, his mind was left blank. Without blinking, he got up from his bed, walked out the door, and disappeared into the night.

In the next half month, Taizi Village, Hexia Village, and more than a dozen surrounding villages fell into deep panic and anger.

The villagers found that the cemeteries of several villages had been vandalized. The tomb was wide open, the corpses were violent, and the stench wafted through the square garden for several miles. The most bizarre thing is that in addition to the tomb being opened, the corpse and some of the burial goods in the tomb are well preserved, which shows that this is neither a tomb robbery nor a corpse robbery.

The villagers couldn't figure out who would do such a detrimental and detrimental thing, so they had to conclude that someone was playing a prank or deliberately retaliating. In order to catch this person, the villagers spontaneously formed small groups and patrolled the whole village around the clock. At night, the men lay in ambush on the edge of the cemetery and kept watch until dawn.

However, even with such a large amount of manpower and material resources, strange things still happen one after another.

Late one night, the men who were lying in ambush by the cemetery could not help but be sleepy, and were taking a nap, when they suddenly heard a terrible scream from a young offspring who was in charge of the vigil. When the men arrived, they found the offspring fainting by a tomb, the grave beside him was wide open, and the body was thrown out and thrown aside, and the air smelled of rancidity.

The men woke up the afterlife, but the afterlife was already insane. I saw that his eyes were scattered, the corners of his mouth were drooling, his hands were dancing, and he kept shouting. Everyone frowned when they heard him shouting "ghost" and "zombie".

A man who was a little older said to the man next to him: "It's not a way to go on like this, we still have to go to Zheng Tianshi to have a look." ”

The helpless villagers held on to the last ray of hope and went to visit the home of Zheng Xiangqian, the "Heavenly Master" they admired and admired the most. But the door of the Zheng family was closed, and no one answered no matter how he knocked. The villagers were closed, thinking that he was far away, so they had to give up.

In the middle of the night on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon was particularly round, and the cold moonlight illuminated Taizi Village in a miserable white.

The door of Zheng Xiangqian's house, which had been closed for more than half a month, suddenly opened.

No one came out, and no one walked in.

A gust of wind blew, and the front door of the small building opened. The sound of the door opening with a "squeak" spread far away in the silent night.

From the door of the house to the floor of the bedroom, a dense footprint suddenly appeared. The footprints vary in shade, large and small, but all in the direction of the bedroom.

The bedroom door also opened, as if an invisible hand had pushed the door open. Zheng Xiangqian sat cross-legged on the bed, his face facing the bedroom door. His eyes were wide open, without blinking, and the most terrifying thing was that his eyes were all white, without a trace of black!

Seeing the door open, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said to the empty door, "You are finally here." Well come, good come! His voice became extremely dry and hoarse, completely different from his original voice.

Suddenly, a tooth mark appeared on Zheng Xiangqian's neck! Then, his arms, chest, legs, and whole body were covered with deep and shallow tooth marks and scratches, as if there were countless invisible people, tearing at him, biting him, hating him to the core, tearing him to pieces and devouring him alive.

Zheng Xiangqian stared at his pupilless eyes, smiling extremely evilly, his sharp teeth glowing white in the moonlight.

"Okay, since you're all here, then you're welcome!" Zheng Xiangqian suddenly shouted, raised his head, his mouth opened wide, and his black throat was like a bottomless pit!

There was a slight whistling sound in the room, and then the whistling grew louder and louder, like thousands of ghosts screaming at the same time. There was a strong wind on the flat floor of the room, dust filled the room, and the windows crackled. After half an hour, the dust fell and calm returned. Zheng Xiangqian slowly closed his mouth and touched his stomach, with a strange smile of satisfaction on his face.

The moon outside the window suddenly turned red!
