Records of Demons in the Republic of China

Brigadier Wu Xiuzhai and Haoyue set off on the road together.

Wu Xiuzhai still hadn't figured out Haoyue's details, and tried to get the truth out of him by rambling, but failed.Haoyue is silent and dignified, doesn't eat much, doesn't sleep too much, and likes to get up at midnight to meditate.Wu Xiuzhai always suspected that he was absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, but he didn't want to ask clearly, fearing that if he asked in a hurry, he would make Haoyue go away.As soon as Haoyue ran away, he lost his financial support, so he really had to go to the capital to beg for food.

In the evening of that day, Wu Xiuzhai followed Haoyue to the train with a big brand new black suitcase.This train was going to Beijing, and Haoyue was responsible for all the troubles for the two of them.After getting on the train, Haoyue took the lead and walked into the box at the rear of the train.The interior of the box is very narrow, with two small beds leaning against the board wall, and only a small table can fit in the middle.Haoyue walked to the bed, turned around and sat down on her own.

Preoccupied, he turned his head and looked at the car window. He sat with his back straight, and his newly-worn gray suit was neat and spotless.After sitting like this for a while, he suddenly reached into his trouser pocket and took out a small round mirror the size of a palm.Looking at himself in the mirror, he raised his hand to straighten the big blue tie with white dots on his neckline, and smoothed out his unruly parted hair with his fingers.

After tidying up his grooming, while putting the small round mirror back into his trouser pocket, he noticed Wu Xiuzhai who was opposite him.Wu Xiuzhai sat hunched over without sitting, stretched his slender neck forward, and poked out his thin skin and tender melon-seeded face in the posture of a tortoise, staring at Haoyue without blinking, and at the same time slightly opened his eyes Small thin lips, revealing a little light of gold teeth and the tip of canine teeth.

The two stared at each other for a while, and finally Haoyue spoke first: "What are you looking at?"

Wu Xiuzhai let out a "hee" and then rubbed his small white palms: "I want to talk to you, living god."

Haoyue looked at him expressionlessly: "Speak."

Wu Xiuzhai accelerated the speed of rubbing his hands, and at the same time said with a smile: "Living God, you know my situation well. When I return to Beijing, there is no way out. I can only rely on my sister to support me. I see you I live quite well in suits, leather shoes, and big suitcases. With my aptitude, is it possible for me to be your disciple and become your apprentice? You pass on my skills, and we will make money when the time comes. Three, how is it?"

Without waiting for Haoyue to answer, Wu Xiuzhai added another sentence: "You can be eight or I can be two."

Haoyue shook her head without thinking: "You can't."

Wu Xiuzhai never expected that he would refuse so quickly, and was almost angry: "Why?"

Haoyue turned her face to the passing sunset scenery outside the window again, and replied in a low and melodious voice: "If my sect accepts disciples, they only want boys. And you—"

Before he finished speaking, the lingering sound echoed.When Wu Xiuzhai heard this, he couldn't help being startled: "A living god, you are still a child, right?"

Haoyue ignored him.

The more Wu Xiuzhai looked at Haoyue, the more he felt that this person was evil, and because Haoyue had a smooth fair face without a trace of beard, he secretly suspected that the other person had hidden diseases and was not a real man.After nightfall, he lay on his back on the bed, first thinking about Haoyue, and then thinking about Haoyue's big suitcase—he didn't know anything about the contents of the suitcase, but he was carrying a heavy suitcase, which was obviously full of goods. It's a pity that the suitcase is locked, and the key is in Haoyue's breast pocket.

Wu Xiuzhai can be said to be poor and destitute now, so after a lot of struggle in his heart, he got up and got out of the small bed amidst the sound of the train moving, and tiptoed to the opposite small bed.

This time, with the moonlight shining outside the window, he saw Haoyue's sleeping posture for the first time - Haoyue took off her underwear before falling asleep, and now only her shirt and pants are left on her body.Curled up on the bed and knelt down into a ball, he folded his arms on the pillow, turned his face and closed his eyes, and buried the lower half of his face, including his nose, in the crook of his arms.

Wu Xiuzhai lived in his twenties and had never seen this kind of sleeping method. He stood in front of the bed holding his breath for a while, but he still didn't dare to make a move in the end.Even Haoyue's sleeping appearance is so extraordinary, how can such an extraordinary person allow an ordinary person like him to steal it?

Wu Xiuzhai planned to retreat and go back to bed to continue sleeping.However, when he was about to leave, Haoyue suddenly made a movement - one long curled leg kicked violently, and he let out a low whimper.

Wu Xiuzhai was startled, and subconsciously took a step back.However, Haoyue snorted again after sobbing, then rubbed her face against her arms, and continued to sleep.

Wu Xiuzhai didn't dare to stay for a long time, he turned around holding his breath, and gently crawled back to the small bed, thinking to himself at the same time: "Why do you look like a dog?"

The train ran day and night, as if wrapped in a three-inch golden lotus. Although it kept moving forward, it took one step back and two steps back, and took two steps and stopped three times.

Haoyue brought Wu Xiuzhai to Beijing, thinking that she had sent the Buddha to the west, and wanted to part ways with him.But Wu Xiuzhai was stubborn and refused to let him go, and insisted on letting him live with his widowed sister's house.Haoyue is a tall and decent person, and he is very unwilling to flirt with others in public, but Wu Xiuzhai has a bit of shameless coquettishness, and dares to laugh and touch Haoyue without waiting for Haoyue In response, he had already picked up Haoyue's big suitcase with one hand and two foreign cars with the other.Holding the big suitcase and boarding the leading rickshaw, he turned his head and smiled at Haoyue: "Come on! It's not like there is no house at home. You are so mean to brother, can brother let you live outside?"

Haoyue's tongue moved in her mouth, and she really felt like she was kidnapped by the former Brigadier Wu.However, it would be futile to say more at this time, and the surrounding environment was dirty and noisy, Haoyue raised her hand and slapped her nose, feeling that her nose was about to be paralyzed by the stench from all directions.

Reluctantly getting into the rickshaw, Haoyue followed Wu Xiuzhai away.
