Republic of China

Chapter 44 Biting the tongue and choking the neck
Zhao Sanyuan lay in bed without falling asleep.

I don't know if there is something wrong with my nose, but I always feel that there is a strange smell in the quilt, like the smell of animal offal that has been covered in the quilt for a long time.

It's not just the sense of smell that's tortured.

Ever since I was ugly, there have been slight and weird sounds coming from the next room from time to time.

The sound was indescribable. It sounded like the feet of a bed rubbing against each other or tearing cloth. All in all, it was weird.

"I'm so numb."

Zhao Sanyuan frowned and got out of bed, ready to have a good chat with the neighbor. What the hell are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night?

But he soon realized that the room next door where the sound came from was the innermost room on the second floor, where the boss's wife slept.

Should I say it or not, this girl is really big-hearted.

"It's better not to knock on the door. If you see it, I'm afraid it's yellow mud smearing your crotch. It's either a daddy or a daddy."

Zhao Sanyuan pushed open the wooden window and turned over, carefully walking along the edge.

I thought that if the boss's wife stole a man, I would scare her and try to calm her down.

Slightly lift the wooden window gap.

It was pitch dark in the landlady's house.

But with some moonlight, I could vaguely see a figure standing beside the bed. Judging from the size, I could tell it was a man.

Knew it.

Zhao Sanyuan showed his original expression.

I just can't figure out why that figure is always trembling.

Then he picked up a piece of tile and prepared to throw it in to scare the couple.

"Ahhhh-!!"

The screams like killing a pig were deafening.

Zhao Sanyuan almost fell down in shock.

But before he could curse, the owner who had already heard the sound was stunned.

problem occurs!
Zhao Sanyuan immediately changed direction and quickly entered Lao Li's room.

He was stunned and fell to the ground, grabbing his neck with both hands, his expression was extremely frightened and painful, his legs unconsciously rubbed against the floor repeatedly, and he didn't even know that his shoes were worn out.

"What's going on?" Zhao Sanyuan stepped forward and patted the dumbfounded face, but he looked like he was crazy, and red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

No nonsense, Zhao Sanyuan immediately opened the stunned mouth and grabbed the tongue that was bitten by him, for fear that he would torture himself to death.

Then he spat on his left palm and slapped Da Lengyan's temple.

Lao Li on the bed was also frightened, but he was stunned.

"Mom, you're so dumbfounded, what are you yelling about!"

"There is, there is a ghost. There is a ghost that wants to strangle me to death."

After being woken up, he pointed to the door tremblingly. Zhao Sanyuan lit the oil lamp and looked around, but found nothing unusual.

The door was locked well, but there was a quilt spread on the floor.

There was a knock on the door, and the voices of Kang Muang and the landlady came from outside the door.

Da Lengyan's voice was so loud that even the animals in the stable were a little restless.

"what's going on?"

After entering the house, Kang Muang looked around and found nothing strange.

"I was scared to death, girl. I thought I was being robbed." The old gangster patted her chest and said with a sweet smile, "This man seems to be having a nightmare. Do you need me to go down and eat a bowl of noodles to calm down the shock?"

Li Dongzhi waved his hand, "Don't bother, just have a cigarette. Sister, just close the door when you go out."

The landlady didn't insist, yawned and walked out.

There were only one person left in the house.

Kang Muang helped Da Lengyan sit by the window and handed him a glass of water.

But it seemed that he still hadn't recovered. The hand holding the water glass couldn't stop shaking, and most of the water splashed.

Li Dongzhi said warmly: "Tell me, what happened that scared you to such a degree? What the hell?"

Dazed, he threw himself into pounding garlic and nodded repeatedly.He pointed to the door.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost standing there staring at me. When I throw the quilt over, it just covers it! Then it suddenly floats over and strangles my throat!"

"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly and from the beginning."

Then the big eyes with chattering teeth told the whole story in detail, not missing even the slightest detail.

Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang exchanged glances.

For them with yin and yang eyes, encountering ghosts is nothing new.

Moreover, looking at the stunned state, it was obvious that the ghost had confused his reason and cognition, and he didn't even realize that he was pinching himself.

But the question is, what is the purpose of the ghost?
It was the first time for a group of people to come to Mo Shan, so it was impossible for them to bump into anything.

Just to scare people?

Kang Muang took out a talisman, folded it into an inverted triangle shape and handed it over, "Put this talisman close to your body. It not only wards off evil spirits and binds evil spirits, but also protects your life and body."

Li Dongzhi quietly pulled Zhao Sanyuan aside, "It's not serious, is it, Brother Sanyuan?"

"With Lao Kang's talisman, there will be no problem. Just sleep peacefully. We will leave tomorrow." Zhao Sanyuan said there was no need to worry. He was still very sure of Lao Kang's talisman ability.

After returning to their rooms.

Zhao Sanyuan never heard any weird sounds again.

Although the smell of the bedding still stung my nose and hurt my eyes, it was at least reasonable.

Early next morning.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and the autumn rain is falling.

A group of four people gathered in Lao Li's house. Lao Li looked out the window and sighed one after another. It seemed that the rain would not stop for a while, and it was dangerous to drive on the road, so he decided to wait until the rain stopped before setting off.

There were big dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he had been up all night and his mental state was extremely bad, but his mood had stabilized.

At this time, Zhao Sanyuan, who was lying on the window sill, saw a familiar figure appearing outside.

For a moment, I can't remember who it was.

It was only when the other party walked to the door of the carriage shop with a compass that he suddenly realized what he was doing.

Isn't that Liu Banxian who was beaten twice before?
After feeling the gaze, Liu Banxian looked up and saw that it was Zhao Sanyuan. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He waved his arms and shouted: "Master! It's me, Master!"

Ignoring it, Zhao Sanyuan closed the window and lit a cigarette.

"Who is it?" Li Dongzhi was confused.

"I don't know him. Maybe he got the wrong person because he had a brain convulsion." Zhao Sanyuan said casually.

But soon there was a knock on the door. Kang Muang opened the door and recognized him as an acquaintance. After all, he had handed Liu Banxian cigarettes and wine.

"Both masters are here! I feel confident this time! There are also Chief Li and this brother."

Liu Banxian's expression was excited, as if he were meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Zhao Sanyuan said calmly: "The one with thick glasses and lenses is the master, I am not considered a master. If you really need anything, just come to him."

"Hey Master, why do you have to be so modest? Our old immortal has told me that your great immortal is too powerful and his Taoism is unfathomable!"

As he said, after Liu Banxian pulled his crotch and returned home, the raccoon fairy did not dare to show his head for many days. He was relieved when he found that Zhao Sanyuan's big yellow fairy had not been found, and warned Liu Banxian not to mess with Zhao Sanyuan.

Kang Muang adjusted his glasses frame and said, "By the way, Liu Banxian, why are you here? It's still raining heavily. Is there any work here?"

"Don't you dare to take it seriously? How dare you make a mistake in front of the two of you? If you think highly of this man, just call me Brother Liu, or you can call me by your given name. I heard my father say that there was a green light in the yard on the day I was born, so I named him His name is Liu Mangfan."

Li Dongzhi praised: "Your Majesty is a talented person, and this catchy name will make people admire him."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Zhao Sanyuan was quite impatient, mainly because he was extremely resistant to Liu Mangfan's old fairy style at that time, "If you have something to say, get out of here. Don't be angry because you can't walk in this place. I don’t have time to watch you making fun of me.”

Far from being angry, Liu Mangfan felt that this was what a master should do. They say that capable people have weirder tempers than others, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

"To be honest, I did come here on a job."

"What live?"

"Find someone."

"who?"

"A dead man."
