Chapter 4: The Missing Half of a Bone
To tell the truth, I have seen countless liars in the past few years, especially this kind of "donor, you have a great omen", I basically ignore them, after all, I am familiar with their routines, nothing more than to be close to you, say some specious words, deceive your trust, and then start to dig out their minds and cheat money in you.
But I don't know what's going on, but when I heard this person speak, I subconsciously looked at the other person seriously.
This is a man with a calm temperament, but a very young appearance, he looks twenty-seven or eighteen, or thirty years old, and his two beards like "Lu Xiaofeng" are impressive - in those years, in my impression, the bearded man is either a sloppy ghost or an artist, and the one in front of him, with black trousers and white shirt, gives people a refreshing and sunny feeling, his eyes are dark and shiny, and he has a faint smile on his face, which makes people not too guarded.
He was neither a sloppy ghost, nor did he seem to be an artist living in his own world, and when he met me, he said that I was "unlucky", which immediately aroused my curiosity.
In particular, I've been really bumped into something weird recently, which makes me even more interested.
So instead of ignoring them like a liar, I asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
The other party also knew that it was quite abrupt to come over and talk to him, smiled, and then said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fortune teller, I just think your complexion is not normal, so I just ask more." ”
I looked at him, hesitating, not knowing how to tell him, while my colleague Xiao Liu next to me said to me, "Brother Hou, we should go." ”
There are still a few minutes before the departure of the car, Xiao Liu spoke out, in fact, he wanted to remind me not to be deceived, after all, there were still a lot of scammers in the south at that time, what pretended to be deaf and dumb to defraud donations, sold fake newspapers, and even traffickers or something, all of them were quite rampant.
I hesitated, but the man took out a sachet-like thing from his backpack, the size of a palm, with yellow cloth and gold embroidered edges, very delicate.
When I saw the other party's thing, I thought it was a salesman, and I was on guard, but who knew that the person said: "I am usually in the Yangcheng area, you want to catch a car, if you are too late, this thing is given to you, you take it, put it close to your body, and don't open it easily; If you have a problem that can't be solved, you can come to me in this place. ”
After speaking, he first handed me the sachet, then took out a pen and a piece of paper, and after writing it, handed it to me together.
Immediately after, he actually stood up and left, and did not ask me for money.
I looked down at the note, which said "Ma Yiao, Yangcheng Yuexiu Fourteenth Village Hutchison Grocery Store East", other than that, there was nothing else, Xiao Liu next to him came over, looked at it, and said that this person's handwriting is really good.
Indeed, this man named Ma Yiao has a beautiful hand, and between the strokes, he is quite strong, and he knows at a glance that he has worked hard since childhood.
After finishing speaking, he talked about people again, Xiao Liu said what is this person doing? It doesn't look like a liar.
I didn't ask for a penny, of course I wasn't a liar, in fact, I already knew in my heart that the reason why this person came to greet me should be the trouble I caused in Guancheng before, especially the long-legged woman who came to my place, although I don't know what she did to me while I was unconscious, but it was definitely not a good thing.
I reread the contents of the note, memorized it, put it away, and put the bag in my trouser pocket, and Xiao Liu next to me smiled, saying Look at your appearance, do you really take it seriously?
I said that I would rather believe in the things of the world than believe in them, right?
Xiao Liu reminded me, saying that you had better open it and take a look, if there is anything dirty, it is not good.
I shook my head and refused his onlookers.
Back to the company, Xiao Liu and I reported to Lao Jin about the work of Goose City, and after Lao Jin listened expressionlessly, he took Xiao Liu away, and then asked me in a low voice: "What the hell are you doing, isn't it a stable list, why do you pry it into people?" Brother Tai is very angry about this matter, you have to be careful when you meet him when you turn around. ”
I smiled bitterly and said Boss, I don't want to, we contacted the people in the purchasing department before, but the other party opened up the way of the big boss of the factory, what do you say I should do?
Lao Jin said that Brother Tai is very dissatisfied with you now, don't dangle in front of him for the past two days - this way, you go to Zhucheng Deli for two days first, there is a batch of potions that need to be purchased, they are old customers, you are responsible for coordinating and contacting the relevant leaders to get emotional.
I nodded and said yes.
Because I didn't dare to meet with the angry Tai brother, I asked Xiao Liu to go to the financial report, and immediately took a boat to Zhucheng, where I stayed for three days, and finally handed over the potion, and invited a group of leaders there to eat and drink, because of what happened to Guancheng, I had lingering feelings about going to the entertainment venue, I didn't do a night show, took the latest boat back to the Special Economic Zone, and when I got home, it was already more than eleven o'clock at night.
The special zone is prosperous, the urban village where I live, even in the middle of the night, is still full of people, I tried my best to serve the factory leaders, I was a little dazed, and I woke up on the way home, but my head was still groggy, so I returned to the rental house, opened the door, and did not feel anything unusual.
But when I was showering, I felt something was wrong.
There is a water heater where I live, and it is obviously hot water, but when it rushes on my body, my body feels cold.
The coldness is like rolling naked on the snow, penetrating the heart, piercing like an awl.
Then I rushed and found that the ground floor of the bathroom was blood-red.
In the narrow bathroom, there was blood on the ground, I was startled, stopped the water, looked around, there was nothing unusual, and quickly looked at myself, the front was fine, but the buttocks were hot, and when I reached out and touched it, it was all blood.
At this time, I was really frightened, covered the bleeding part with a towel, ran to the dressing mirror in the room, turned around, and saw that the tail vertebrae, there was a crack the size of a baby's fist, and blood was flowing out, like a small fountain, grunting, and I couldn't stop it.
I covered myself with a towel and shook my head vigorously to clear my mind, which was numbed by alcohol.
Soon, I remembered the strange man named Ma Yiao a few days ago, and his tips.
I hurried back to the bathroom, took out the bag from the change of clothes, looked at the hole sealed by needle and thread, gritted my teeth, tore it open, and found that there was a yellow rune paper with runes written on it, as well as half a bone, and three hard, thick, toothpick-like black hairs.
Other than that, there is nothing.
I turned the bag inside out and saw nothing else, when I suddenly heard a shrill scream.
Ga......
This startled me, and I hurriedly looked towards the balcony next to the bathroom, and found nothing.
The cry was sharp and miserable, a bit like a cat, or some other animal, but because it was still bleeding, I didn't dare to think too much, and looked at the yellow rune paper, and then looked at the others, and at that time I was also in a hurry, and gritted my teeth, and pressed the half of the bone into the hole in the tail vertebrae near the buttocks.
I was actually desperate at the time, and I was actually just subconsciously comforting myself, but I didn't expect the blind cat to touch the dead mouse, and when the half of the bone was next to the wound, a cold feeling spread throughout my body.
It felt like a person dying of thirst in the desert suddenly drank a big sip of water.
That's called a refreshing one.
I was almost stunned for a while, and when I came back to my senses, I found that my hands were sticky, I subconsciously rubbed it, and found that the wound was scabbed and no longer bleeding.
It's really amazing.
I was in a trance of severe blood loss, and after making sure that the wound had stopped bleeding, I instinctively scrubbed my body, hurriedly put on my clothes, and hurried to the village health center.
There was so much blood, I thought I was about to die, but when I went to the health center, I told the doctor on duty about the situation, and when he asked me to take off my pants to help me check, he was silent for a long time.
When I turned around and looked up at the doctor impatiently, he looked at me as if he were "silly Boi."
Immediately afterward, he said, "You said you have a wound on your buttocks? Where? ”
I said, don't you see?
The doctor looked at me in a mirror with a blank face, and all he could see was the top of his bare buttocks, except for two rice-sized pimples and a black mole.
Naturally, there were no wounds.
At this time, the old doctor in his fifties said slowly: "Young people, wandering outside, you must know how to love yourself, don't make friends with those fox friends and dogs, and don't try new and curious things, some things, once they are stained, this life will be ruined, you know?" ”
He said this probably because he thought I might be an addict who was hallucinating because of drugs.
I fled from the health center in a very embarrassed way, and when I returned home, I remembered that the life-saving bag was still thrown in the bathroom, and I hurriedly went in to find it, and found that the bag was there, the yellow rune paper was there, and even the three toothpick-like black hairs were there, except for the half of the bone that helped me stop the bleeding was missing.
I thought about it in the bathroom for five minutes, but I couldn't figure out where the bones had gone.
Smelling the blood in the bathroom, and the blood-stained towel, I realized that everything just now was not a hallucination after I had drunk.
I know very well that all of this is true.
The next morning, I made a phone call to Lao Jin, and in addition to handing over the work of the past two days, I also asked him for a leave.
Lao Jin didn't agree at first, saying that the above impression of me was not very good, and now I have to take a leave of absence, which is likely to affect my salary increase at the mid-year summary.
I didn't hesitate, saying that my life was gone, and what salary would I raise.
I asked for leave, I immediately bought a ticket and rushed to Yangcheng, according to the original address, after several tosses, I found the Hutchison grocery store in the 14th village, the proprietress heard me say that I was looking for Ma Yiao, smiled, and said that you are looking for that neurosis, he went out, I don't know when I can come back.
Ah, God, neurosis?
