Chapter 27: Lao Teng's Story

Have you ever done something wrong? In this bustling city, there may be a monster who has mastered the art of head-lowering and is staring at you with his indifferent eyes.

Lao Teng scolded for more than ten minutes before he began to tell his story.

When everyone introduced their profession before, Lao Teng only vaguely said that he was engaged in wholesale. Now that he's drunk too much, he can't control his mouth.

Cheng Xiao said that the person could indeed be said to be engaged in "wholesale", he looked at us and said, "What do you guess he is engaged in wholesale?" ”

Chen Youbo said: "Who can guess this? Hurry up and say it. ”

Cheng Xiao said: "That old Teng, he is a 'wholesaler' of wild animals. ”

I said, "He himself is doing illegal business, and he dares to call the police after receiving crow feathers?" Cheng Xiao's gloomy face couldn't help but smile, and said, "Isn't it?" Although the matter of Clam Zhou and Huang Ge cannot be put on the table, at most, they will be fined, and Lao Teng will be imprisoned if he makes trouble. ”

One midsummer night in 05, Lao Teng heard that there were pangolins infested at a certain foothill, so he ran to poach them. He found traces of the pangolin's activity, so he concentrated on lying in ambush nearby and waiting for the pangolin to return.

After waiting for most of the night, I didn't even see the shadow of the pangolin. He began to feel heavy on his eyelids, and fell asleep leaning against the tree next to him in a daze. I don't know how long later, he suddenly felt a cold neck and woke up suddenly. When he woke up, he saw two small eyes like black glass beads staring at him with a straight face.

Lao Teng was overjoyed in his heart, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and this short-eyed pangolin was actually sent to the door by himself. Lao Teng quietly reached out and picked up the net that was set aside, and threw it at the pangolin without warning. I didn't expect this little beast to be so agile that he escaped with a slight leap. Lao Teng regretted missing the opportunity, so he could only chase after him desperately.

The pangolin was very wonderful, as if he was worried that he would run too fast and Lao Teng would not be able to catch up, he would definitely stop for a moment when he encountered a corner and turn, and look back, and wait until Lao Teng appeared before continuing to run forward.

Although Lao Teng thought it was strange, he wanted to catch the pangolin too much at that time, so he didn't think much about it. After he followed the pangolin for most of the mountain, the pangolin suddenly disappeared. Lao Teng rummaged around angrily, where is there still a pangolin?

It was then that he began to notice the faint sound of gourd silk that had been lingering around him. In the middle of the night, deep in the mountains and forests, who is idle and has nothing to do here to blow gourd silk? And Lao Teng ran so far, how could the voice always be so close, so close, so close that it seemed to be ...... It seems to be blowing in his ear?

The more Lao Teng thought about it, the more he felt evil. People say that there are many ghosts in the barren mountains, so I shouldn't be a ghost, right? Lao Teng shivered and turned around to leave, but the pangolin appeared again without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The pangolin tilted its head sideways next to a low tree to look at Lao Teng, who saw it in his eyes and only felt that the little beast was laughing at him. He scolded his mother and ran towards the pangolin angrily.

The pangolin flashed back and disappeared again. Lao Teng didn't believe in evil, and kicked at the dense dwarf tree, only to find that behind the dwarf tree was a half-meter-high cave. Lao Teng got into it proudly and said, "Little sample, you also want to fight with grandpa?" "There was not a single light in the cave, and the thick darkness was like a bowl of moldy paste, making it difficult to breathe.

The melodious sound of the gourd silk is even more eerie and terrifying in such darkness.

Lao Teng swallowed his saliva with difficulty, unable to decide whether to continue chasing the pangolin or leave quickly.

After hesitating, the cave suddenly brightened, and Lao Teng suddenly saw that the cave was full of bloody macaques, falcons, raccoon cats and other animals. Somehow, those animals suddenly turned into a group of greasy men with butcher knives in their hands. These big men walked towards Lao Teng with expressionless faces.

He wanted to scream but couldn't, and saw his skin peeled whole, dried, and made into a human-shaped leather goods. I saw my flesh and blood falling piece by piece, being fried and steamed, and turned into food on the table......

The sound of the gourd stopped abruptly, and Lao Teng woke up, he was still leaning on the side of the big tree.

No pangolins, no caves, no bloody animals, no butchers.

It's okay, it's okay, it's just a dream, it's just a dream. Lao Teng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was about to stand up, when he suddenly noticed something at his feet. When I took a flashlight, it turned out to be a black feather and a small gourd silk. There is also a pure white, lily-petal-like letterhead. The paper reads, "If there is a next time, kill." ”

Lao Teng was so frightened that he climbed down to the police station at the bottom of the mountain to report the case. He was hysterical at the police station, sluring his words and shouting that someone was going to kill him. But the policeman didn't care about any feathers or gourd silk, and he looked up at him and asked, "You just said that you came to poach pangolins?" ”

Then, there is no then.

Lao Teng was sentenced to five years, and he was found by Cheng Xiao shortly after he was released.

Cheng Xiao and the others wanted to laugh after hearing it, but they were embarrassed to laugh, and they all endured it very hard.

Chen Youbo and I couldn't help laughing, Chen Youbo said: "This 'crow' is a descending head to others, why is it not to deal with the guy surnamed Teng?" I said, "Actually, the 'crow' also used the head-lowering technique to deal with Lao Teng. ”

I said, "As I mentioned before, there are three main types of head lowering techniques in Hong Kong: sound descending, medicine descending, and talisman descending. Lao Teng's punishment is undoubtedly a voice surrender. Sound drop requires the use of a lot of spells and the help of props to descend. This kind of lowering of the head can make the person's willpower decrease, and the giver is at the mercy of the recipient. That's why Lao Teng 'sees' the scene that the 'crow' wants him to see. ”

After Cheng Xiao finished saying Lao Teng's story, the three of them looked at Cheng Xiao together, and their eyes were clearly saying, what about you? What have you done that lacks virtue?

Cheng Xiao thought for a long time and said, "I haven't done anything that is against morality." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone quit. Huang Ge said: "Young man, you are not righteous. You asked us out and listened to us tell us about our disgraceful things, but you were not willing to confess? ”

Clam Zhou said: "Rich people like you must have done bad things, what are you pretending?" ”

Cheng Xiao was speechless, what kind of logic is this, why do rich people must have done bad things?

Lao Teng was already too drunk to do anything, and said something vaguely, probably pretending to be a grandson.

The gathering of denunciators of the "crows" eventually broke up.

Cheng Xiao looked at me helplessly, and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I really haven't done anything wrong." "The first time I saw this person, I naturally couldn't tell whether it was true or not. Chen Youbo said: "I have known Cheng Dong for three or four years, and I dare to vouch for his character. I estimate that eighty percent of the stranger recognized the wrong person, and Cheng Dong was injured by mistake. I brought him over today just to see if Brother Zhong, can you help him get rid of this bowing head. ”
