Chapter 22: Nails
I looked weird and surprised.
No money, but my fingernails.
What is this thing for? Can you still eat it?
Looking at my fingernails, nerves are tense these days.
It's been a few days since it was pruned, and it's a bit long.
But the other party looked very serious, and even took out a pair of big scissors:
"Young man, one out of ten nails can't be missing."
As soon as the old woman's words fell, the big mouse in her arms stretched out her head.
"Squeak" screamed at me, very excited.
I'm a little disgusted with the big rat, and I'm a little confused about this deal.
However, the thought of this supermarket is inherently weird.
You can't use a conventional supermarket to speculate on the way the supermarket operates, so there is no too much entanglement.
Nodding a little awkwardly:
"Good!"
Put down the cloth bag in your hand and pick up the big black scissors.
He cut his fingernails on a piece of red paper.
The room was quiet and chilly.
It was only me cutting my nails and making a "click" sound.
The old woman was still standing next to her, sticking out her head and constantly commanding:
"Cut a little longer, a little longer!"
My face was full of embarrassment, I had to cut off a piece of meat if it was too long.
Under the harsh requirements of the old woman.
Ten nails were cut quickly.
Putting down the big scissors, he handed over the nails on the red paper:
"Auntie, you want nails!"
The old woman grinned:
"Good, good ......"
As she spoke, she took the red paper with her wrinkled old hand.
When I saw that the transaction was completed, I picked up the cloth bag and was about to leave.
I'm pressed for time, so I can't afford to delay too much here.
And this place is also indescribably weird.
But who knows, as soon as the old woman got my broken nails, she unfolded them and handed them to the big mouse.
He said happily:
"Eat it! Eat to increase life, grow taller, hehehehe......"
As soon as the big rat probed, he opened his mouth and began to eat my broken nails.
"Giggle" constantly chews in the mouth.
The hairless tail swayed from side to side with ease.
At that scene, my scalp was numb and my hairs stood up......
My face changed slightly, and I swallowed a lot of saliva.
He took a few steps back, turned around and ran out of the house.
It's weird.
As soon as I went out, the half-open wooden door closed with a "clang".
Even so, I seem to be able to see it.
The image of the big rat wagging his hairless tail while chewing on my nails.
I was stunned, very uncomfortable, and very nervous to move forward.
In a few moments, the cabin was no longer visible except for a burst of fog and the glow of a reddish lantern.
Look at the time, it's eight forty p.m.
Ten o'clock, there is still more than an hour.
Now that my phone is out of battery, I can't call a ride-hailing service.
So I have to hurry, otherwise it is very likely that I will not be able to reach the City God Temple in Longgang Mountain before ten o'clock.
I quickened my pace and ran down the aisle of the cemetery.
Soon, I came to the fork where I met the little girl before.
When it passed just now, I walked for more than ten minutes.
Now I came back, but it only took three or five minutes.
This road is very strange, but I can't explain what a strange way it is.
It was empty, except for the tombstone, and there was no trace of the little girl.
But in my heart, I am also very grateful to the little girl named "Li Lingling".
If she hadn't shown me the way, I probably wouldn't have been able to find the Rose supermarket all night.
He came to her grave and bowed to her:
"Little sister, thank you.
If only my brother could live in the future.
He will definitely come to you to incense you one day! ”
With that, I'm leaving.
But at this moment, in the fruit basket in front of her grave, a red apple suddenly rolled out.
The red apple was impartial, and it rolled right in front of my toes.
I looked at it with some surprise, and then looked up at the cute little girl in the black and white photo on the tombstone.
I felt like I understood what she meant.
I bent down and picked up the apple on the ground:
"Little sister, are you going to invite me to eat apples?"
There was no sound to respond, but I felt a cool breeze coming over my face.
I used to feel this cool breeze and it always made me feel scared.
But at this moment, not only did I not get scared, but it relieved my nervousness a lot.
"Thank you, little sister, if my brother can live, he will definitely do what he says."
After saying that, I didn't care if the apple was dirty or not, so I took a bite directly.
I haven't eaten for a day, and I feel that this apple is extremely sweet.
didn't stay too long, turned around and ran towards the exit of the cemetery.
When I get to the bottom of the mountain.
Looking back again, there was nothing but a mountain full of gravestones.
He took a deep breath, felt the coldness in the air, and ran straight out.
The security guard uncle at the security booth was still watching a TV series and didn't notice me.
When I got out of the cemetery, I ran along the road.
Now I just want to find a car, arrive at Longgang Mountain as soon as possible, and complete the task given to me by Master Gu.
But Nanshan Cemetery is in the suburbs, and I ran for a minute or two, let alone a car.
Not even a single figure was to be seen.
I watched the time anxiously, it was almost 9:10, and I couldn't find the car.
If this continues, I will definitely not be able to make it to the City God Temple before ten o'clock.
Master Gu made it clear that once ten o'clock passed, the female ghost who was haunting me would definitely appear.
If she comes again, I'll be dead.
I frantically pressed the power button, hoping that the power of the mobile phone would be stronger, so that I could recruit an online car-hailing car at a high price!
But who knows, just when I was anxious.
One looked very shabby.
And the van, which didn't even have taillights, suddenly stopped in front of me.
I didn't even notice that it was coming from behind me.
The more abrupt one just appeared.
Before I could react, a middle-aged brother with a pale face and sweating profusely rolled down the window.
He shouted at me:
"Little brother, is that the car you called?"
