Lightning doesn't hit the same tree twice.

This is a proverb of the Hu people in the north.

Ning Qianyun was now struck twice by the same lightning bolt, because he was awakened by fright, and the feeling in his dream was too clear, as if it was really happening.

As we all know, the late winter in the south, even now in November, is still under the evil rule of the sun.

Ning Qianyun naturally doesn't like sunlight, he prefers to stay in a cold space.

However, he hardly goes out, but today he made an unexpected exception.

He spent several hours squeezing the subway and changing buses, and found an old locksmith in the west of the city, his face was sallow, his eyes were sunken, and he looked like he was about to die, but when he heard the words "hexie key", he came to his senses and waved his hand again and again, "Impossible, it doesn't exist at all!" ”

"What if?"

"Nope!"

"That'...... Does the old gentleman have any special locks? ”

"The first lock in G City, the royal locksmith of the palace, the lock on behalf of the generation, although it is said, as long as the price can afford it."

"Only I can pick the lock."

The old locksmith pondered for a while, and then couldn't help but smile coldly, "Then I will tell my apprentice to bring the lock and go with you, and ensure that only you can open this lock." ”

"Okay, thank you, old man."

Ning Qianyun didn't do any extra chat, and hurriedly came out of this "No. 1 lock in the world" shop, the apprentice that the old locksmith said had been waiting at the door of the store for a long time, an old electric car, an obscene middle-aged man, and a toolbox modified from a medical box.

The apprentice of the old locksmith is called Hou Sai, a foreigner, with outward skin and a thin body, if he does not say that he is a locksmith, he will definitely be considered a thief.

The electric car drove very slowly, which made Ning Qianyun a little anxious, especially the sun at noon was very fierce, and there was a hot pain in his back.

But instead of speeding up, the waiter stopped in front of a convenience store and got out of the driveway, "Hey, this broken car is out of power, let's charge it for half an hour." ”

Ning Qianyun wanted to say something, but he was embarrassed to urge others, so he had to buy two bottles of soda by the way, and watched the waiters fiddle with the electric car before handing over the cold drink in his hand.

"I know the hexie key." Hou Sai took the cold drink from Ning Qianyun's hand and said while twisting the bottle cap.

"You...... You know? Ning Qianyun looked at this person in surprise, and suddenly felt that this person must have a lot of secrets, "Didn't your master say that it didn't exist?" ”

"Hey, my master is so unfathomable that I don't even know what he's thinking as an apprentice, but the hexie key you just mentioned reminds me of one thing."

"What's the matter?" Ning Qianyun immediately asked.

Hou Sai was not in a hurry, he first drank half of the cold drink, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "This matter is a bit mysterious, if you want to believe it, you can believe it, and if you don't believe it, you can read it as a story." ”

"Hmm." Ning Qianyun nodded, in fact, he was quite happy to listen to these stories, especially when the stories were related to him.

My family is in a small village in the northeast, there is a strange wood, one day, a hunter in the same village went hunting, captured a monster, brought back to the village, and gathered all the villagers, to identify what kind of monster it is, but all the villagers said that they had never seen this kind of monster, it had three hands, five feet, four mouths, of course, the most terrible thing was its one eye, to be exact, four, because its eyes were not born, but in the mouth.

In other words, if it has one mouth, others can see four eyes.

At that time, I was too young to hide from a distance and watch.

Because the monster was so terrifying, the villagers all said that they would kill the monster, and tied the monster to a stump, and piled up circles of wooden sticks underneath, and the villagers gathered around the monster with torches.

Just as the fire was lit, the monster suddenly screamed like crazy, and even spoke, "Please, don't kill me, don't kill me." ”

The villagers were frightened by its words, and some of the more timid villagers were so frightened that they threw away their torches and ran away.

"Please, don't kill me, I am the god of greed, I can give you a treasure, please let me go." The monster continued, "I have a hexie key on me, which can open all the locks in the world and satisfy all your **, just let me go." ”

The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and an elderly man took the lead in standing up, awe-inspiring and upright, and said, "Evil animal, it is your nature to have deep selfish desires, but it is not our character. ”

"Burn, burn immediately!"

The old man gave an order, and the surrounding villagers echoed and threw the torches in their hands, and suddenly, a raging flame slowly rose in this small village, and the monster was burned to death by the villagers, and at the moment of its death, it did not stop begging for mercy.

It wasn't until the fire burned its body that the villagers left satisfied. But in the middle of the night, a man sneaked out and ran to the scene where the monster was burned during the day, and in the thick of the night, he rummaged through the ashes. Finally he found what he was looking for, the hexie key that the monster had called.

And "he" is the hunter who catches the monster during the day, and he is deeply fascinated by the monster's mouth (hexie) key, so after he finds this hexie key, he leaves the small village overnight and hears about a big city in the north.

Later, we heard that he became a multimillionaire, but no one could have imagined that he was stealing money with that hexie key. But it's not always that simple, and one night after he becomes a multimillionaire, he has a very strange dream. I dreamed of a long-haired woman, holding a pair of scissors, slowly approaching her, but she couldn't move, watching the long-haired woman cut off her fingers little by little.

The long-haired woman said repeatedly as she cut it, "If you want my baby, why don't you save me, if you want my baby, why don't you save me, if you want my baby, why don't you save me......"

He was awakened, only to find that everything that had happened in his dream had become a reality, that one of his fingers was missing, that the blood flowing from the bedside was still fresh, and that the hexie key was missing that night. He was so frightened that it took him a week to drain all his ill-gotten gains before he could save his life.

In the end, he left the big northern city, and I heard that he went to the south to help people open locks with a master.

After Ning Qianyun heard what he said, he gasped, but there was an obvious loophole in this matter, and that was why the middle-aged man in front of him knew so clearly.

Hussey seemed to see his suspicions, and sneered, "I went to the toilet that night, and I happened to see a man sneaking out of the village, so I followed, and saw with my own eyes that the hunter found a key in the pile of ashes, and probably he would never have thought that there was a pair of eyes watching him in the haystack behind him. ”

This explanation was perfect, Ning Qianyun had nothing to say, he was speechless for a while, and his wandering eyes still glanced at his fingers, fortunately, although his fingers were full of calluses, there were at least ten complete fingers.

"Hahaha......" Hou Sai suddenly burst out laughing, as if tears were about to burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Actually, it's a horror story I wrote, a great writer, I saw your photo in New Youth magazine, how about you look at this story?"

If a person tells a true story that you have to believe, and after you believe it, he tells you that it is fiction. Then there are only two possibilities, either the story is true, and you suddenly don't want to think it's true, or the person telling the story is a writer who is very good at making up stories.

No matter what the situation was, Ning Qianyun couldn't adapt to it, coughed slightly, and pretended to be calm, "Okay, good, very good story." ”

The next part of the road was a lot lively, and there were two tragic car accidents, and seven people died, but it didn't affect the mood of the waiter at all, humming a northern tune, it seemed that it was an extremely pleasant thing to be recognized by Ning Qianyun.

Ning Qianyun didn't think so, the story had been haunting his mind, like a mosquito in the night, buzzing, and his whole body was very uncomfortable.

Uncle He is also uncomfortable, as soon as he is old, it is either this pain or that pain, and now he looks at these miscellaneous things, and his head hurts again, "What kind of letter do young people write now, just a letter for me to run here from the city." ”

He Bo is the caretaker of this old house, he is in his seventies, has a son, he usually lives with his son in the city, and usually only when he collects rent, he will go to this remote place.

After a while, He Bo saw that Ning Qianyun was back, and immediately walked out of the small house with an envelope, and said angrily, "If you have money to put a mailbox, don't run around if you don't have money, save me from running up and down this old bone." ”

After speaking, he stuffed the envelope into Ning Qianyun's hand and left in a huff.

Ning Qianyun looked stunned, but when he saw the name of the sender of the envelope, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately smoothed the envelope and put it in a black leather bag.

Hou Sai is really a capable man, and in less than half an hour, the original lock was removed and a new lock was installed.

The new lock and the old lock looked no different, they were exactly the same, Ning Qianyun was a little worried about being deceived, and asked, "Is there anything special about this lock?" ”

"Nothing special."

"Didn't you say that I was the only one who could drive it?"

"The key is in your hand, and you must be the only one who can open it." Hou Sai handed a bunch of keys to Ning Qianyun.

It was an extremely ordinary key, not at all anything special.

Ning Qianyun was very disappointed, and after working for a long time, he returned to the original point.

Before leaving, Hou Sai suddenly turned around, as if remembering something, and said, "I used to have six fingers. ”
