I looked at the man who was swallowing the capsule, and suddenly felt a little pity for him.

After he swallowed the capsules, he seemed to think that the effect of the medicine was too slow, and the next few simply broke the capsules and poured the medicine powder directly into his mouth.

After swallowing the box completely, he slowly sat down on the ground, his head resting against the brick wall, his face flushed unhealthily.

I walked over slowly and crouched down.

The man was immersed in the sun and didn't seem to notice me. The mystery of last night was gone, and he had become a beggar who could be seen everywhere in the sun.

I reached out and touched his arm and asked, "Are you alright?" "Brother Jinbu Dong.

The beggar shook his head and said, "It's okay. Then he closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Give me some money." ”

I put my hand in my trouser pocket, took out a few tickets, and without looking at the exact number, I stuffed them all into him.

The beggar also did not look at the amount of money, and reached into his trouser pocket.

Then he leaned against the wall again, no longer moving.

I couldn't help but ask, "Who is she?" Are you trying to revive her? ”

The beggar nodded slightly and said, "She is my wife." Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, as if he had seen something frightened. He stared at me viciously and asked in horror and fear, "Who are you?" What do you know? ”

The way he looked so startled me that I stood up and wanted to leave. But the beggar jumped up and grabbed me by the collar.

His body was very weak, and I just gave him a gentle nudge and pushed him away.

The beggar sat down on the ground and muttered, "Who are you?" How do you know? ”

Suddenly, he pointed at me and smiled. He said, "I remember, you are the owner of that room. Right? ”

I looked at him with some surprise: "You also know the empty house?" ”

The beggar shook her head, "I don't know about the empty house, but every time she passes by here, she seems to want to go inside your room." Who are you and what kind of magic are you? ”

When I heard this, I was a little angry and amused: "What kind of magic did I use?" You should ask yourself that. ”

The beggar looked at me deeply and said, "If you spoil my good deeds, you will pay for it with your life." ”

I shuddered.

The beggar was emaciated, weakened to the extreme, and seemed to be in danger of dying at any moment. However, his gaze was extremely vicious, completely calming me.

I gave way to the side with some trepidation. The beggar slowly walked out of the corner. He slumped his back down the street, moving forward little by little. He didn't say anything, just opened his hand and silently asked passers-by for money.

I have seen many people who give generously, because this man is more like a beggar than a beggar, and no one is worried that he is a liar. Because a broken leg can be faked, it is impossible to pretend to have this feeling in the weak bones.

I chased after him, grabbed him and said, "You can't carry the corpse anymore, you're dying." ”

The beggar looked at me and said, "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”

I was speechless, and I was unwilling to let him go, so I was ruthless and said, "I am the owner of the empty house, and everything about gods and ghosts has something to do with me." ”

The beggar turned his head to look at my dilapidated house, and said, "I remember you." If you dare to spoil my good deeds, I will not let you go. ”

Then, with a hand outstretched, he continued to walk slowly.

I stood on the street, looking at the beggars who were fading away, and I couldn't help but sigh.

That's when someone slapped me on the back. I was startled, and when I turned around, I saw Xue Qian standing behind me with a smile.

I asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xue Qian pointed to the beggar who had already walked away and said, "Your cousin? ”

I waved my hand: "Fuck off, your cousin." ”

Xue Qian said: "Since you are not your relative, why are you doing so many things?" Do you want to take him to your empty house and live there? ”

I looked at Xue Qian and said, "You are really." He's like that, come to your pharmacy to buy medicine, and you're embarrassed to take money? ”

Xue Qian said helplessly: "I'm not a hard-hearted profiteer, of course I don't want to take his money." But he insisted on giving. said that he is also a scholar, how can he get it without work? Isn't that outrageous? ”

I laughed and said, "Isn't it called stealing by scholars?" ”

Xue Qian smiled: "Who knows what this kid thinks." Last time he broke down my shop door and stole my medicine, and later returned the money to me. However, the money for the glass door was not given to me. And people still have words, saying that if I don't open the door when the time comes, I should be smashed, and I don't have to pay for this. ”

I smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's interesting." ”

All day, I was hesitant to inform Mr. Lu of this matter, but after thinking about it, I gave up.

That night, I was fully armed. With a big knife in his hand and a corpse tooth in his mouth, he waited all night. If the beggars pass by here carrying dead people on their backs, I will stop them.

However, the string of bells never rang again. The beggar and his wife also did not reappear.

After the rooster crowed, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, threw the big knife on the bed, and fell asleep.

At noon, Xue Qian helped me bring me something to eat, and while eating, she said to me: "Lao Zhao, you are a good customer for me, that beggar didn't buy medicine from me today." ”

I said, "It's best if you don't buy medicine." It means that his life was saved. ”

Xue Qian looked at me strangely and asked, "What do you mean?" What life was saved? ”

I waved my hand and said, "You'd better not inquire about this matter, it's too dangerous, and if you lose your soul again, I have to save you." ”

Xue Qian sneered twice and continued to eat.

I didn't see the beggar again during the day, and at night, the bell didn't ring again. Probably, the beggars have already left the city.

Although I was happy for him in my heart, I was also a little unhappy. How can I say that his life was saved by me, why didn't he come to thank me?

I lay in bed, thinking about this question in a daze. Suddenly, the candles on the table shook violently.

I was startled, and immediately sat up straight and took the big knife in my hand.

At this time, I saw a man standing in the doorway. He neither came in nor departed, but stood there dumbfounded.

I was bold and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

The man said quietly, "I can't find her." ”

I fixed my mind and asked, "Who are you?" You can't find anyone? ”

The man refused to come in, and he said, "I can't find my wife, she's gone." ”

I slowly walked to the door with my knife in hand, and it was only then that I realized that he had his back to me.

I stood a few paces away from him and said, "Don't scare me in the middle of the night, who are you?" ”

The man heard this and turned his head slowly.

The light of the candles jumping in the room shone on his face. I took a look, and it was the beggar.

It's just that the expression on his face is extremely abnormal. There was a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were numb. I heard him say, "My wife is alive, but she can't find it." ”

I panicked and asked, "Your wife?" Isn't your wife dead? Wait, are you a human or a ghost? ”

He was suddenly stunned, and muttered, "Am I a human or a ghost?" Am I a human or a ghost? ”

Suddenly, he pounced on me and shouted, "You must be secretly harming me, yes, I know you." ”

He reached out and grabbed my arm. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain, and I couldn't even lift the big knife.

I screamed in pain, my body shuddered, and I sat up from the bed.

It turned out that it was just a dream.

I looked at the candles on the table. Its firelight was jumping rapidly as if in a dream. I wiped the cold sweat from my face. When I raised my arm like this, I couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw several clear nail marks on both arms. I shivered, and cold sweat began to break out on my back: "Was it a dream just now?" Did I encounter something dirty? ”

I glanced suspiciously at the door, but there was no one in that direction.
