The moon that laughs
The eel tightened his collar again, as if to better block the howling cold wind.
Yellow Eel is not his real name, but his name. Others are like their names, they have the skills of walking crookedly, and they are very slippery, and they are very famous masters on the Jiangshi Road.
Two days ago, he took a job, which was very fat, and it seemed easy to him, but the employer stressed that he had to be careful, to keep an eye on the target, and to wait for him to wait for the signal to do it.
But after two days, he walked back and forth many times on this road in two days, and observed the target house very carefully, and found no danger or peculiarity.
He is a man of "credit", and he does not hesitate to suffer in the cold wind of the winter for the sake of reward.
The wind here is colder than in the city.
The big river not far away, and the small green hills on the three houses, made the wind blowing in bring a lot of moisture, and the temperature was even lower, and the chill penetrated into the clothes, which was unbearable.
The yellow eel pinched the last cigarette holder with two fingers, took another puff fiercely, crushed the cigarette butt, and prepared to go around the road below.
At this time, two groups of young people appeared at the end of the road, and they quickly started to move, shouting and fighting very lively. Ten minutes later, those young people and the people around them who were watching the excitement dispersed, but no one called the police, looking at the looks of those people, it seemed that they were accustomed to this kind of thing.
The yellow eel stamped its feet, and the pace was a little faster.
He habitually looked around again, including the height of the telephone pole, there were no cameras, and his heart was inexplicably relaxed.
This is Wotun District, which may be the only undeveloped place in Jiang City.
The road is a newly paved road, but the house is still the same as the house of forty years ago, and it does not match the high-rise buildings and prosperity in the distance at all, and it looks like two worlds.
There are two buildings that are both five-storey high, and it is said that many of the residents in the buildings have moved out, and later some people bought vacant houses because they gambled on demolition and made a profit.
But these people are destined to be disappointed, and there have been no rumors of demolition and relocation.
The innermost building has only three floors, and I heard that there are only five families living in it now, and the first floor on the edge is the target of Huang Eel's mission.
He had just walked halfway when he received a letter on his phone that read: Tonight.
Huang Eel smiled, his frozen face hurt a little, he rubbed it heavily, turned around and ran to the car parked on the side of the road.
The weather forecast says that it will snow in Jiangshi in the next few days, and the temperature will continue to drop, so the general public should pay attention to keeping warm.
After nightfall, the eel changed his clothes, not to keep warm, but to move flexibly.
In the dark night, the Wotun district is even quieter.
Only three of the two five-story buildings have lights, and there is no light in the target building, so if you don't look closely in the dark night, you think it's the hill behind.
Huang Eel parked his car on the periphery and used a telescope to observe the building from time to time.
Until after midnight, there was no light in Wotun District except for the street lamps, and he got out of the car and half-ran to the small building.
In less than a minute, the security door of the house on the first floor was opened, and Huang Eel pushed the door and walked in like the owner.
Then, he turned back and gently closed the door, leaving only a slit.
But when he turned around, he was a little confused.
When I opened the door, it was pitch black. How can I see things faintly now?
No lights, no light sources, what's going on?
He looked around and listened for any movement, but nothing was unusual.
What his employer wanted him to steal was a large bag of spices, so after a slight pause, he reached for the kitchen.
He was very careful, very careful, his steps were very steady, his steps were very light, and only the faint sound of footsteps was made in this lonely cold night.
But he walked for a while, and somehow turned a corner and entered a door in the house.
It didn't feel like he was turning a corner, but the house had turned in a different direction, and he walked straight through the door!
If the eel didn't pay attention to the phenomenon of seeing things when he entered the door, then he already felt that something was wrong at this moment.
He remembered that he had seen this kind of visible situation, he had seen it on television, it was the eerie light of a haunted room, except that it was darker than that scene, and he couldn't see it clearly.
There was a trace of cold air on the back of the yellow eel's head, and the hair on his body stood on end, and he took out a small dagger from his waist and held it in his hand.
Everyone knows that this thing is useless for that kind of thing, but when you have something in your hand, you have to be bolder.
At this time, the yellow eel is to strengthen his courage and hold down his violently beating heart.
The next second, he looked into the room again, and a very strange feeling made him want to go inside the room to take a closer look.
Because.
The items in this room are small, and he's a giant in proportion!
On the opposite side of the wall was a palm-sized bed, as well as an equally small wardrobe, table, chair, and other daily necessities, which did not look like a toy, and from his senses, it was definitely not a toy.
However, the more he walked inside, the bigger the furniture became, and in the room that could be reached in just a few steps, he walked a dozen steps to see that the distance was not halfway!
The yellow eel stopped, already drenched in cold sweat.
His face was pale, trembling slightly, and his lips trembled a little.
At this time, he really didn't pay attention to how his body was, he turned around and stepped back, looking around.
People are frightened, and it is indeed a soldier of all plants.
The yellow eel always felt that something was staring at him behind him, and he might pounce on him at any time, and then .....
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more intense the feeling of madness became.
But he didn't dare to move loudly, he didn't dare to make a loud noise.
It was his last sanity, and he didn't want to alarm anything unless something really caught him!
Suddenly.
The yellow eel looked up.
Only then did he realize that the roof was a painting, and he could see it clearly.
This painting is of the night sky, there are no stars in the sky, there are a few clouds illuminated in the moonlight, but the moonlight does not look like a painting, giving the eel the feeling that the moonlight is real!
When he looked at the moon, his heart suddenly felt cold, and his hair stood on end!
Because he saw the moon and laughed!
The moon in the painting is painted as if it were real, and there is no place for eyes and mouths.
But the eel just felt the moon laughing.
And when he looked closely, the moon was still a painting, ordinary.
He felt the blood in his body stir, and he could hear his heart beating.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Jump fast.
The rhythm is a bit out of order.
And the beating sensation on the door of the brain with the heartbeat is getting louder and louder, and the ears seem to make a "buzzing" sound.
Then, the sound of his rapid breathing seemed to remind him again.
Get out of here!
Be sure to get out of here!
He didn't care about anything, so he ran away.
But after he ran out of the door for a long time, he found that he did not return to the corridor, but entered a courtyard.
The courtyard was walled on all sides, the ground was covered with grass, and although the sky was dark and gloomy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he had come out of the house.
The courtyard wall is not high, and the yellow eel naturally feels that he can easily climb out.
He thought about it, and when he went out, he would withdraw the business, and he would never come to this place again.
Money is not as important as life, no matter how rich you are, you must have life to spend it.
The yellow eel ran a little and was ready to jump.
But he immediately realized that it was an extravagant hope.
He can run with his legs up, he can jump, but he doesn't move, even if he turns back and runs back.
The door is right in front of you, but you can't get there.
The eel stopped panting, resisted the desire to scream, and forced himself to calm down.
At this moment, the sound of hushing and shooing sounded outside the courtyard wall, like something stepping on the grass.
When he looked up, he was dumbfounded.
I saw an ant twice as tall as the courtyard wall turning its big and long tentacles and poking down into the courtyard, and the two sickle-like jaws wiped down a large piece of the courtyard wall!
The eel didn't dare to move, but held its breath as it watched its tentacles swim around it.
The ant seemed to be a little confused, and the tentacles turned for a long time, and suddenly pointed at the yellow eel.
The yellow eel could no longer hold on, and waved the dagger in his hand to slash at the tentacles.
The ant's tentacles didn't know, he only knew that something had happened, he was pumped up, soared through the clouds, and then fell into the mud ditch.
In the middle of winter, the thin ice in the mud ditch was broken by him, and the water and mud below covered half of his body.
The eels didn't care, he found that he could move freely, and he saw his car, climbed out of the mud ditch and ran back to the car.
That night, the yellow eel ran a red light all the way back home.
He first burned incense and kowtowed to everything he remembered in the way that his master had said, then took a very hot bath, washed himself three times, and threw all the clothes he wore back into the trash can, and then covered the quilt and quieted down.
Although he tossed and turned, he didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that something would appear again.
In the end, he didn't know how he fell asleep, he couldn't open his eyes when he woke up, he felt like the sky was spinning, and it took a long time to determine that he was sick.
Huang Eel was alone at home, and at this time, some friends didn't dare to call, so he forced himself to go to the hospital.
This illness was five days, and the next day, when he was a little better, he wrote back to his employer and explained that he had refunded the bill.
The employer didn't ask why, but the words made the eel sweat again.
Employer: What do you see?
Eel: No.
Employer: Is it a ghost or a monster?
The eel's hair stood on end again: I don't understand what you mean.
Employer: Tell the truth, you won't be paid any less.
Huang Eel understood that the other party didn't really want him to steal something, but sent someone in to understand the situation. He was a substitute for the dead last night, and since that's the case, he should take what should be taken.
Eel: There are no ghosts, and when I went in, I got lost and saw a huge ant.
Employer: A little bit of detail, starting with the door.
Huang Eel told him in detail about what had happened, and the employer asked him how he felt about each change, and immediately transferred money to him after asking.
This income made Huang Eel feel better, and his condition seemed to be improving.
However, he asked in a ghostly way: Whose house is that? What's his name.
There was a half-time reply.
Money is not an issue if you can continue.
The man's name was Zuo Feng.
But the eel decisively did not reply.
