"Hi... Love flowers? Tailor Wu asked hesitantly.

"Yes." I said, "Where did you come from to make the fabric that is happy with the flowers?" ”

"Buy... I bought it..."

"Really?"

"Of course it is!"

"Hehe..."

I smiled, didn't look at the tailor, rubbed my fingers, extinguished the cigarette butt, and threw it on the ground.

"Haruko-chan."

"Huh?"

"Go out and close the gates, lest anyone come in."

"Good.

"You... What are you doing? Tailor Wu looked at me with straight eyes and asked nervously.

"He's going to beat you." Xiaoqing said.

"Really... Really? ”

I stood up lazily, rubbed my shoulders, and then pinched my fingers, turned my head and said to Xiaoqing, "Sister Haoqing, go out quickly, so as not to splash your face with blood, have you forgotten last time?" ”

"Last time?" Xiao Qing stared.

"Just the one we met last time who didn't tell the truth," I sighed as I winked my eyes at her, "what happened to that man?" ”

"Oh, that's..."Xiaoqing patted her head, "I was beaten by you..."

I quietly gave her a thumbs up, this little Qingzi is not blindly stupid.

"Well, what it was like, do you remember?"

"Oh, of course, the blood on that face, that..."

This Xiaoqing's surprise at this time is quite appropriate, but if she continues to talk about it, she may not pull out anything, I hurriedly interrupted her, "Mmmm, okay, you go out, stay at the gate, if there is a passer-by asking, what is this Wu tailor's 'whoop' doing, you said that you bought a live pig in the New Year and are killing it." If someone else wants to ask, then why do I hear someone shouting for help, you just say, Tailor Wu is cowardly and fainted, and he was frightened by the scene of killing a pig, it doesn't matter..."

"Good..."

Xiaoqing nodded and walked out.

Tailor Wu grabbed a pair of long scissors on the table and pointed at me tremblingly.

"You... What are you going to do? ”

"Huh?" I glanced at him and smiled honestly, "Don't do it, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it'll be done in a few clicks, it's not painful..."

"Few... How many times? ”

"Well, yes, on your head..."I gestured, "chisel so three times, the first time it will hurt a little, endure it and it will pass, the second time it will hurt slightly, the third time, it will be numb, I don't feel it." After three clicks, the blood 'brush' will come out, and soon your head will be dyed into a blood gourd, which is very good-looking, and then your whole person will have a light and fluttering feeling, like becoming a fairy, that taste, quite wonderful..."

Tailor Wu's face turned white, his lips kept trembling, I couldn't help laughing, lifted the stool seriously, weighed it a few times, and muttered, "No, it's too light, what to use..."

As I spoke, I glanced around, and saw a pair of pipe pliers for screwing steel pipes standing against the wall, and my eyes lit up.

"Okay, let's use it..."

As soon as I put the stool down, I walked over and picked up the pipe wrench, grabbed the handle of the pliers with both hands, danced a few times, and frowned, "Oops, this thing is a bit heavy, but it's quite handy, so let's see that I don't need to take three clicks, then reduce it, two strokes are enough..."

After saying that, I walked towards Tailor Wu with the pipe wrench.

"You... Don't mess around..."

The scissors in Tailor Wu's hand fell to the ground with a 'click', and the whole person fell back, knocking over a chair, and he almost didn't fall.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," I waved my hand, "I said it's not painful, what are you hiding..."

I kept forcing Tailor Wu into a corner, staring at his head up and down, left and right a few times, "Hmm... This place is nice, right here..."

I shook the pipe wrench with a 'bang', and Tailor Wu was so frightened that he screamed like a pig.

"Spare your life! …”

"Don't tell the truth!" I shouted.

"I say! I say! ”

"Tell me, where did the fabric come from?"

"Don't... Someone else gave it to me. ”

"Someone else's gift? Who sent it? ”

"It's the one... That and that..."

"That one... Don't tell the truth yet! ”

I flipped the pipe wrench.

"I say I say! … Also... It's also picking... Pick up and pick up..."

I let out a sigh and threw the pipe wrench to the ground, causing Tailor Wu to jump up in fright.

"If it is known that you actually use the fabric you picked up to make the wedding flowers for others to wear when they get married, and others don't break your kid's legs, why is your brother not a good thing, what kind of good thing are you?"

Tailor Wu drooped his head, "You... Don't tell me about it, if anyone finds out, I'll really be killed, and I won't dare again. ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, where did you pick up the fabric?"

"A place with the clothes for the second egg..."

"A place?"

"Well, a big red dress, I look very new, so I picked it up together, and the second girl is going to get married, let me make her a wedding flower, so I cut the dress..."

Judging from the narration of this Wu tailor, the 'joy' and 'sadness' we borrowed at the beginning were originally from the same place... Judging from this point, the happy flowers, as well as the buttons of Wu Erdan's clothes, both have Old Man Yang's Yangshou, they are from the same place, what does this mean? It shows that the evil that devoured Old Man Yang's longevity has touched these two things... In other words, there is evil here! …

I was both excited and a little nervous, and the flesh of my whole body tensed, and I clenched my fists tightly.

"I'm telling the truth!" Tailor Wu probably thought that I was going to beat him up, so he hurriedly said.

"Huh?" I looked at him and let go of my fist, "Let's go, take me to the place where you picked up your clothes." ”

Tailor Wu looked a little reluctant.

"It's okay if you don't go, I'll go to the second girl's house and tell her, you use the clothes you picked up and thrown away by others, and make happy flowers for her..."

"Don't, don't, I'll take you, but..."

"How?" I asked.

"But it's been more than a year, and there's nothing left in that place for a long time."

"You don't have to worry about that, just take me there..."

"Ah Leng... Hey? Why didn't this man bleed? Outside, Xiaoqing asked, with a little disappointment on her face.

I smiled slightly, "Since he told the truth, naturally he won't be beaten, let's go..."

Tailor Wu led us out of the village and went all the way to the southwest. Along the way, I paid attention to the vegetation in the fields near the four sides, and saw that the trees grew crookedly, the wheat seedlings were sparse and short, and there were quite a lot of graves, large or small, one in the east and one in the west... I said in my heart, "Look at this, there may be evil here...

The sky was filled with layers of lead clouds, and from time to time a cold wind would roll up, blowing dust everywhere, and there was a faint smell of wetness in the wind, as if it wanted snow. I walked a mile or two to the southwest, and I was shivering with a little sunshine. When he came to a ditch, Tailor Wu pointed to the ditch and said, "It's probably here."

I looked into the ditch, and saw that the mud at the bottom of the ditch was cracked by the severe cold, and the cracks looked shocking. I raised my eyes and looked around, took out the compass, and the pointer swayed slightly, indicating that there was an abnormal magnetic field in this area. …

My heart was beating wildly, I took a deep breath, stabilized my emotions, handed the compass to Xiaoqing, and I climbed an old tree by the ditch... Looking around, I saw that there was a road far south of the ditch, and it looked white from here... There seems to be such a scene in front of my eyes, one day a few years ago, Xiaoqing's father, the old man Yang, drove out to run errands, late at night, came to this road, drove away, and suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out of nowhere...

Thinking of this, my heart slammed and I almost fell from the tree. Looking closer, I didn't find anything unusual. I thought to myself, I can't see anything like this, it looks like I'll have to wait until the evening, and if there's evil here, I'll see if I can get it out at night...

The wind was blowing, and the old tree around me was shaking violently. After looking around, I slid down the tree.

"How's it going?" Xiaoqing asked.

"Let's go, let's go back to the village first," I said quietly.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and as I approached the village, there were faint snowflakes mixed in with the wind, hitting my face, and it was cold. When I came to the second girl's house, the snow had begun to fall heavily, but the wind had decreased, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky were like goose feathers, swirling and falling.

"What's the matter, do you do the thing of happy flowers, have you said it?" The second girl asked enthusiastically.

"That's it." I said, "Well, there's something else to trouble you. ”

"What?"

I pointed to Xiaoqing, who was bouncing around and patting the snow on her body, and said, "There is something wrong with my car, the parts are broken, I guess I can't go today, I will wait to buy parts and come back to change, I may come back very late, my sister will eat and live at your house for one night, I will give you money." ”

"What's the trouble with this..."

The second girl was very enthusiastic, and she accepted it in one bite, refusing to ask for money. And said that the snow is so heavy, I can live there, don't buy any car parts, and talk about it tomorrow when the snow stops.

Under the hospitality, I did not refuse. That afternoon, I took a nap at the second girl's house and nourished my spirits. When I woke up, the snow was still falling, and the yard had accumulated a white layer.

This is about to be the New Year, the second girl's family has prepared the New Year's goods, and boiled all kinds of vegetables and meat in a small pot at night, and the second girl's father scalded the wine and asked me to accompany him to drink. After a few sips of old wine, the old man's nose turned red, and without the restraint and rawness he had when he first met, there was no edge when the conversation box was opened. I was chatting with the old man, but my heart flew somewhere. The thought of acting alone at night makes me feel a little dazed, and I don't know what awaits me...

Originally, I could have called Master or Ah Feng and asked them to come and help me, but the weather was so bad and the snow was so heavy that the road was not easy to walk. Besides, what I am facing now is an unknown thing that even the master has never been exposed to, and I don't want to pull the master and Ah Feng over to get into danger, after thinking about it, I decided to act alone, no matter what lies ahead! …

After the meal, I begged the old man for half a bottle of soju. Back in the side room, I fell into bed and waited quietly. The night was getting deeper, the snow was still falling, and the sound of fluttering filled the whole world. The melon vine shelves in the courtyard were oppressed by the snow, and they creaked from time to time, adding a bit of weirdness to the silent snowy night...

Seeing that the time was almost up, I got out of bed, put the half bottle of soju in my pocket, lifted the bag containing the magic weapon, and walked outside...
