three years ago……

Qin Yue looked at the messy Guan Yunheng, and frowned involuntarily.

Ignoring the other's curious expression, he pushed him into the bathroom, took a bath towel and threw it on his shoulder: "Wash and change into clean clothes."

"Oh." The child was full of reluctance, but still closed the door obediently.When the door was about to be completely closed, he suddenly opened it "swipe": "I can't tell why? It just feels... Not very good. Qin Yue, you have to be careful."

If Qin Yue had heard this before, he would think that he was worrying too much, but after experiencing the birthday candle last time, he had a strange sense of trust in Guan Yunheng's intuition.So he chose to reply cautiously: "I see."

Turning his head, he glanced at Zhu Ming and Xiang Liu.Zhu Ming nodded slightly to him, indicating that there is no problem with the barrier in the room.The orange cat sat upright on the dining table, its body was in the shape of a drop of water, and the expression on its face was quite clear: it's promising!What did you bring home again?

Seeing the audience came back, the woman licked her chapped lips and said, "Can I have a glass of water?"

Qin Yue took an [-]% full cup of warm water and handed it to her, pulled out a dining chair and sat down.

The woman took the cup and drank it down, then asked with insatiable interest: "Is there any more?"

Qin Yue didn't move, just looked at her intently.The youth's facial features are too perfect, once showing a cold expression, it will be like a sculpture without temperature, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"Get to the point." He spread his legs, folded his hands on the chair, and leaned forward.If there is a mirror opposite him now, he will unexpectedly find that he looks a bit like Guan Yunheng now.

The woman hooked her lips and put the paper cup at her feet.She fled too hastily, and lost one of her high-heeled shoes, leaving a hole where her big toe was, revealing scarlet nail polish.

"I know you. You are the singer who participated in the competition before."

"..." Qin Yue began to wonder if he didn't kick hard enough in the first few kicks, making the other party feel that he is really a soft persimmon?

The woman sat down with her knees hugged, one finger stroking the huge diamond ring on the ring finger of the other hand, and continuing the previous topic——

"I used to be very poor. How poor is it? I can only eat steamed buns soaked in water for three meals. The most extravagant time is to spend five yuan on bags of bread that the bakery doesn't want. It's hard for a person like you to imagine that kind of life. How about living? Living in such a nice house at such a young age."

"..." He didn't need to explain anything to a stranger.In fact, as long as he thought of the situation where she wanted to drag the child to die, he felt quite irritable.Qin Yue took a deep breath and restrained herself as much as possible.

"But I don't want to live a life like this. I'm so beautiful, how can I live a life like this all my life?" The woman touched her face, the loose nasolabial folds and the plaque-like powder accumulated at the corners of the eyes, just like makeup The clown who failed and retired sadly.But from the outline of her eyebrows, one can vaguely see that she was a beauty when she was young.

"I waited and waited, and finally found the key to change my destiny when I was 23 years old. I want to marry a rich man. Soon, I will have a goal." She nervously bit her nails until the middle finger He stopped when he became bumpy: "But those rich people, you know, are cold-blooded and ruthless. I was tricked and played with, and I was slapped in the street by his wife with a big belly, calling me a bitch and a broken shoe. But he only dared to Wei Nuo Nuo followed behind his wife, not even daring to say a word for me. Later, I was kicked out by the landlord..."

Qin Yue is a little impatient.He doesn't care about these old-fashioned and dramatic dramas.He just wanted to know what kind of contract was made between the woman and the mandrill.

Fortunately, the woman's description finally got to the point——

"It was very windy that day. I have been traveling in the imperial capital since I was 15 years old, and I have never seen such a strong wind."

She recalled with blurred eyes: "I was pushing the suitcase, and the wind made me unable to stand still. I walked and walked, and suddenly my stomach started to hurt. Then I passed out, and when I woke up, I was asleep. In a grocery store. Although it is a grocery store, it is full of strange things. There are animal bones, books, grotesque masks, and beautiful white candles. The owner of the store is an elderly lady. "

grocery store?Probably not a simple grocery store, right?

The woman continued: "She made ginger soup for me, took care of me very tenderly, and asked what happened. I felt that my whole life was terrible! So I couldn't help crying in front of her."

Qin Yue raised her hand and shook it: "By the way, do you still remember what that old lady looked like?"

The woman froze for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to ask such a strange question.After thinking hard for a long time, she covered half of her cheeks in confusion and said, "...I--I don't really remember. Strange, why don't I remember? I should remember."

Sure enough... the woman's memory has been deliberately tampered with.No "person" can tamper with other people's memories, unless it is a spirit, a monster, or something else.

"Go on."

The woman is like an unoiled cog, struggling to move herself to the next detent: "And then she gave me something."

"what?"

"A withered monkey's paw."

"Monkey paw?"

The woman nodded and gestured: "It's probably bigger than a human palm, like a part of a specimen in a museum. She said to me: Take it. It is said that a monkey's paw can bring good luck."

Not surprisingly, the monkey paw should be part of the mandrill's body.Qin Yue has heard of similar objects—whale skulls, leopard tails, crocodile skins, etc., all of which come from exotic witchcraft.But those things are more derived from people's inexplicable beliefs and legends, and have no practical use.

The woman stared at the diamond ring and said: "I refused at first. But then she told me: Monkey's paw can be used to make wishes! As long as... I am willing to pay a little price."

Speaking of this, she quickly raised her eyes to look at Qin Yue, then lowered her head and said: "You must know that for a poor wretch who has nowhere to go, in order to survive, I am willing to do anything!"

Qin Yue stared at the upright woman, thinking to herself, there will never be a person who is really desperate.Desperation is only because people are in a cocoon.If you made a choice knowingly, don't just cry out when you bear the consequences.Just like himself, he has never regretted his life in the past few years, neither now nor in the future.

"I accepted the monkey's paw and ended up living in a basement on the outskirts of the city. Three days later, I was born prematurely. I struggled to call an ambulance myself, and I kept cursing on the bed. The woman who ruined everything. I want her dead! I want everything about her to be mine! Her man, her house, her company, and oh yes, her five-year-old son!"

"..."

The woman began to bite her nails again, as if she was suppressing some kind of anxiety and excitement: "I suffered a hemorrhage that day, and when I woke up, more than a month had passed. The man was also in the hospital, he told me , his wife died suddenly due to a traffic accident more than a month ago! He hoped to get my forgiveness and be with me again. Ha, I couldn’t believe my ears at the time!”

"It's the monkey's paw." Qin Yue asked with an affirmative sentence.

The woman's eyes flickered, and she was so excited that she couldn't help herself: "...Actually, I didn't connect the two things at all at first. It wasn't until the day I was discharged from the hospital that the man asked me what was in the delivery bag. Put the monkey's paw in the suitcase. I took it and looked at it, and one of the five fingers that were originally opened was broken inward. What the old lady said was actually true!"

There is such a weird logic in this world.Obviously the same victim, one victim cursed the other victim to die in order to stay with the perpetrator.And because of the monkey's paw, another victim actually died.Qin Yue pressed her temples, and began to recall that she had thrown the essential oil into that drawer.

"You didn't stop there." After speaking, he looked in the direction of the bathroom.The brief sound of the hair dryer rang perfunctorily for a while, and Guan Yunheng walked out with half-wet hair, pretending not to see Qin Yue staring at him.

"Go blow dry—"

The child puffed up his cheeks, like a fed squirrel: "You just don't want me to listen."

"Don't try to get away with it." He might as well buy a hair dryer tomorrow. He has to stare at it every time. He is really tired.

The woman was silent for a while, with a strange light flickering in her eyes: "Why stop? If you have something like this, wouldn't you be willing to use it?"

Qin Yue put it on the table in a tower shape between her fingers, and looked at her: "I never answer hypothetical questions. But today I will answer you, no."

There is a huge price to be paid for any effective wish, and the bigger the wish, the more astonishing the price to pay.

The woman shook her head and laughed: "I don't believe it! You are just talking about it. You are hypocritical! Just like that man, you kept saying that you love me and your children, but in the end, you took every precaution against us, mother and child, and wanted to transfer all the shares In the name of his ex-wife's son! How could I let him do what he wants!"

"So you treat that child..."

The woman interrupted him and said contemptuously: "Child? I won't put a brat who doesn't even have a mother in my eyes! Wouldn't it be good to just solve the source of the problem? He lied to me before, so let him My ex-wife bullied me, and I could have a better life without him. Isn't that the case?"

There was a girlish innocence on the woman's face.She spoke so naturally, lightly, without any sense of guilt or morality.It seems that murdering the person next to the pillow is just a commonplace routine operation.

The hairs on the back of Qin Yue's neck stood up.He thought to himself, the woman in front of him looked more like a monster than the mandrill!

The author has something to say:

Thanks for subscribing.I originally wanted to finish writing the content of Chitose Wine, but there are too many things to do, so I can only stop here.

I saw that some readers said that they felt OOC was set up, so I would like to explain.Qin Yue was a nosy from the very beginning, but it was not the Holy Father's setting.He was treated as a lunatic at the beginning, but he didn't chase after him to help (although he blamed himself later on), and he didn't try to rescue Ni Xiaohong who was wearing a ring of lies later.This supporting role first kills himself, and second threatens Guan Yunheng.I don't think it's a problem for Qin Yue to stand on the sidelines, and I also talked about the reason for the curse.As for Boss Guan, he has become smaller and will definitely be different from before.
