Angelica returns

West Street, Old Tie Tou's house.

"When did you start borrowing life?" He He asked as if ordering.

Old iron man: "The night half a month ago."

Why call: "What happened."

"On the first day Zhang disappeared, I went to report to the officials, but it was useless. Two days later, the magistrate is still confused.

On the third day, I closed the stall early, partly because I was not in the mood, but mainly because a special guest came that day.

I'm sure it's a human being, not a monster.But he's so tightly wrapped, I don't know what he looks like.

He said he has a way to save Zhang, as long as I drink a bottle of potion.When I heard that I could save Zhang, I immediately became overwhelmed, and agreed to him without thinking about anything.

But... But on the night I drank the potion, I saw it! "Old Tietou's pupils shrank suddenly, "I don't know if it's real or a dream, a black shadow, black from head to toe, can't see face, hands or feet, I was terrified at the time.

That group of black shadows told me, "Ten years of life, my nephew will be fine."At that time, I didn't dare to think so much, I just knew that no matter whether I was willing to borrow my life, it would be easy for it to kill me. "

"So you borrowed it? Do you think you can pay it back?" Zhou Tingyu spat, "Stupid."

But the old iron man continued as if he didn't hear Zhou Tingyu's words: "...I agreed. It also said, "Shen Shi's ruined temple in the western suburbs, borrow every five days for three years, remember to be single and come on time", this is not fake Yes, every time I go to the ruined temple, there will be a black shadow around me on time, which is to borrow my life.

I can't feel the pain, but I'm so scared of this thing, I'm really getting old.Today was originally the last day, I thought I would be able to see Zhang!It didn't show up. "

Why ask: "What potion?"

Old Tietou shook his head: "The man didn't say anything. The taste is no different from that of plain water, but it's a bit fishy."

Zhou Tingyu: "Yi Huan, what kind of potion is this?"

"This water is called ghosts entering the dream, and it is not unusual for people to communicate with ghosts." After explaining, why did he look at Axiu, "it's your turn."

Suddenly being named, Axiu was startled, and said: "I just received the letter yesterday, and the letter told me to go to the ruined temple in the western suburbs today at Shenshi. The reason was also that it could save people. Then there was nothing."

"Didn't you see the letter writer?" asked He Hehua.

Axiu shook her head and said, "The letter was sent by a little beggar in the town. My husband once treated him. He is illiterate. Someone must have asked him to run errands."

"If the person looking for you and the old iron man are the same person, why did he spend a lot of time finding someone to deliver the letter with you, instead of directly asking you to drink medicine like the old iron man?

"Zhou Tingyu was puzzled, "Could it be that he is still afraid that you, a weak woman, will fail?"Also, I found that this person, oh no, this ghost thing is very particular, it has a strong purpose, it is not the kind of person who will attack anyone he sees on the street.

If it is the same person who came to you, there must be something in common and special about you that interests him.

For example, if you are all widowed and lonely, and there is no one else at home except yourself, can it be said that it is because you are weak and seem to be particularly easy to bully, so it is eyeing you?The widows and loneliness in Kelehu County must not be limited to the two of you..."

"They have an urgent wish." He Zhihua glanced at Zhou Tingyu, and then turned his gaze to the other two, "Living a birthday is a ritual, and the ritual can only be accomplished if both parties are willing.

Therefore, the borrower cannot forcefully sell and buy, but must persuade the borrower to willingly give up his life, only in this way can the borrower avoid backlash.

Of course, there are also greedy people who feel that they have too many lifespans, and actively sell their lifespans in order to get buyers to fulfill their wishes.

But they don't know that no matter what their mentality is, borrowing one year of life is not as simple as losing one year of life. Examining life to go out will break the reincarnation of heaven, and it will be more sinful in terms of emotion and reason, and no one will suffer the consequences Can't help.

Not to mention whether it was a human or a ghost who borrowed his life this time, it borrowed the full life of the old iron man, so he had to send Zhang to the old iron man.This is also, indefeasible, the rule. "

"In that case, the one who was looking for Axiu and the one who was looking for Old Tietou are the same person.

Today was the last day to borrow the old iron head's birthday, and he returned Azhang. When Axiu saw that Azhang was back, she would naturally be convinced that her husband would also come back, and then she was willing to lend her life.

One by one, it seems that the borrowers have a high desire for life. "Zhou Tingyu said.

At this time, Axiu interjected cautiously: "I suddenly thought of why it would find a little beggar to deliver the letter to me instead of coming by itself.

Mugwort!It's because of the mugwort in my house!When my husband took me to live in the outskirts of the city, he said that there is a place of good geomantic omen. In spring, mugwort is everywhere. My husband knows herbs, so he tied many of them and hung them around the house, saying that it is very effective in warding off evil spirits.I didn't believe it at the time, but now that I think about it, is this the reason? "

"If that's the case, then it's a ghost, not a human being." He Hua said to the old iron man softly after making the judgment: "You can't borrow your life again, so you can do it yourself."

After saying this, the old iron head's dull eyes slowly sank, as if he had fallen asleep.He Hui called out an exorcism talisman, handed it to Axiu and said, "Take it, let's go home."

Axiu took the exorcism talisman stupidly, obviously not knowing what it was.

He Zhihua added: "Hold it well, nothing will dare to look for you on the road."

He seemed extra patient today.Zhou Tingyu looked at the scene where He He called Lianxiang Xiyu, and there was a thunderous sound on the ground, and his mind was buzzing, a little confused.

Axiu went back.Why Huan and Zhou Tingyu failed to relax.

The two were walking on the street.In the west, the glaring sun hides in the overlapping mountains, the deep tile-blue sky is dotted with light red sunset glow, and the stalls in the night market are already in full swing.

Zhou Tingyu: "Tell me, why didn't the guy who borrowed his birthday show up when he came?"

"Afraid of me." He Zhihua replied casually.

"That's what I said casually, do you still take it seriously?" Zhou Tingyu said flatly.

He Zhihua: "We should be more modest. But now, I'm sure, the guy who borrowed his life is definitely not a very powerful character. We are all soldiers."

"oh?"

He Hejuan smiled, and said: "A powerful ghost is still afraid of low-level exorcism plants like mugwort? And I think it is very polite, and it must hope to seek benevolence, but it has forgotten that borrowing life is inherently It's not a benevolent and fair spell."

Zhou Tingyu nodded dubiously, and asked again: "But if it is very cowardly, why did it promise to save Zhang and Dr. Liu?"

"Perhaps, Ah Zhang and Dr. Liu are in its hands?" He Hua asked rhetorically. "If you go around in a circle like this, don't they have conditional equivalent exchange?"

"You mean! You mean that Ah Zhang and Dr. Liu weren't arrested by Wujietang at all?" Zhou Tingyu, who had already made up his mind, was taken aback, "Could it be that the ghost thing is from Wujietang? Isn't there still a ghost pig?" ?"

"Ghosts, including this morning's Bo Zhu, these things are all the fault of Wujietang, but Tingyu, if you think about it carefully, may the appearance of these things be too deliberate, pointing all the blame at Wujietang, it is very It's easy to make me feel that someone is secretly hiding something."

"So? Wujietang has ruled out the suspicion? You must know that Wujietang is not without confidence and domineering."

Since it was basically confirmed that Wujietang had arrested Lu Jin, Zhou Tingyu almost hated him, subconsciously thinking that Wujietang was responsible for all the bad things in the world.

"I just don't think things should just be taken at face value."

"Yi Huan," Zhou Tingyu looked at him, and murmured, "I haven't said anything during the day, we've known each other for so long, I feel like you know everything about Wujietang, isn't it too...

Also, I feel that you are weird today, since you saw the copper cone, especially when you excused Wujietang just now, I suddenly felt that you have a relationship with Wujietang. "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Tingyu laughed, as if he felt incredible.

"No." He Zhihua twitched his Adam's apple, "You think too much."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tingyu laughed when he saw this, and turned around and said, "Why are you nervous? I'm just joking. Let's go, eat, and go to the ruined temple in the western suburbs after eating. Find out and call it a day!"

Coincidentally, within a few steps, there was a vendor selling chestnut flour cake.The steaming yellow pastries lay on the chopping board, looking very attractive.

Chestnut flour cake wow!It's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land!Zhou Tingyu's eyes straightened.

"You're lucky." Zhou Tingyu pointed at the chestnut flour cake and said loudly, "Boss, give me five! Oh no, six!"

When the stall owner heard the words, he happily packed the pastries and chattered enthusiastically, "Okay! Isn't the young master a local? You came with friends?"

"Yes, I came with my friends." Zhou Tingyu grabbed He Zhi and said, "Here, it's him. This guy can also make small cakes, which are quite delicious!"

The stall owner handed the wrapped chestnut flour cake to Zhou Tingyu with both hands, and He Hui hurriedly took out the money from his pocket. "Ah! This son doesn't look like someone who can cook, you are so lucky!"

"No way, no way." Zhou Tingyu smiled awkwardly but politely.

Afterwards, when he left the stall listening to the stall owner's enthusiastic farewell words, Zhou Tingyu felt that there was an indescribable sense of blessing in his eyes looking at the two of them.

behind -

"Daddy, daddy, those two elder brothers just now looked so good!" A limp little girl emerged from behind the booth.

The stall owner looked at He Huan and Zhou Tingyu who were walking away, picked up the little girl and put it on his shoulders, and said: "That's natural, can you appreciate each other if you are not good-looking? Daughter, you are still young and don't understand .”
