Chapter 18 Short-lived Street
The sun sets and it’s dark.
Song Tianbao and his team walked around several streets and arrived at the intersection of Diequan Road. According to the map instructions on the promotional page, the "Strange Flavor Building" should be at No. 60 Diequan Road.
Diequan Road is one of the oldest streets in Haicheng City. It is said that it has a history of more than 1,500 years. More than 20 years ago, a strange fire burned all the arcade shops on both sides of the street, so that the ancient street of Diequan Road was also destroyed.
If it weren't for the strange fire twenty years ago, Diequan Road might have been named a famous thousand-year-old street in China. The fire was said to have burned more than 300 stores in total, of which 15 people were buried in the sea of fire. According to official reports at the time, the cause of the fire was caused by the explosion of a gas tank in a shop. However, some people saw with their own eyes that before the fire began, a big bird was hovering in the night sky of Diequan Road.
A big and big bird.
Because the night was hazy, no one could see clearly what the big bird really looked like. People just saw that it was larger than a giant eagle, spreading its wings about three meters. When it flew over the Butterfly Spring Road, people also saw a piece of yellow silk in its mouth. There were many strange large vermilion red characters written on the yellow silk. The strokes of the big characters were smooth, connected to the ends, and looked like a flowing blood.
Some people say that it is a talisman.
And it is a fire talisman.
In the night sky, a mysterious bird flew to the sky above Dietquan Road with the fire talisman about three feet long. After hovering for about nine circles, its mouth suddenly loosened. The fire talisman fell from the sky and fell directly into a hot pot restaurant. Then there was a loud "boom" sound, and the gas tank in the hot pot restaurant exploded.
Seven people who were dining in the hot pot restaurant were burned into oven pigs on the spot. Within two minutes, the fire spread rapidly and burned the entire Butterfly Spring Road. Twenty years ago, those who had witnessed the mysterious big bird with their own eyes were said to have been burned to death, some were smoked by the fire and some even committed suicide due to nerve disorders.
Since then, no one dared to mention the fire and the mysterious bird.
Since then, no mysterious big bird has ever flew past on the Butterfly Spring Road.
Over time, people forgot the fire and the mysterious big bird.
...
In the night, Song Tianbao and the other two walked into Butterfly Spring Road.
Today's Butterfly Spring Road is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and it looks a bit quiet and desolate. The big banyan trees on both sides of the road have grown again. They are like covers, with lush branches and leaves, and there are several strings of neon lights hanging on it. From a distance, the neon lights hidden in the leaves are flashing, which makes them look even more desolate and gloomy.
"Brother Bao, this street is so scary, it feels like a ghost street?"
After Pipilu said this, Zhou Ningning next to him also frowned.
Song Tianbao couldn't help but kick Pipilu: "Damn it, can't you say it nice? This is called romance."
Pipilu said: "Yes, yes, I like ghost streets. Ghost streets are romantic. When girls are afraid, boys will have a chance. Brother Bao, you have never been to this street before, have you heard that this Diequan Road has another name, called Short Life Street. It is said that many of the bosses who do business on this street have become Short Life Ghosts."
"Is that true?"
Song Tianbao frowned. He had heard people occasionally talk about the fire twenty years ago. However, this was the first time he had heard of this "short life street".
"Brother Bao, I won't lie to you. Last Saturday, a boss lady who specializes in manicure also died. I saw more than a dozen police cars driving in here and then transporting her female body away."
When Pipilu said "female corpse", Zhou Ningning became even more scared.
When Pipilu saw Zhou Ningning a little scared, he just became more excited: "Brother Bao, do you know what that female corpse looks like?"
Song Tianbao: "Damn, I'm not there, how do I know what it looks like?"
"Snow-white."
"Damn, **?"
"Yes, as soon as I saw that it was a female corpse, I immediately opened the crowd and rushed in."
After Pipilu said this, Zhou Ningning suddenly rolled his eyes at him. But to be honest, only a beast like Pipilu who is not distinguished from the old or the young can do such a thing.
Pipilu ignored it and then sighed: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"Damn it, I'm not as heavy as you. Did you dream of being a forensic doctor when you were a kid?"
"Hahaha, Brother Bao, you are so awesome. My dream when I was a child was to be a forensic doctor and specialize in studying female corpses with good figures, hahahaha."
"Hey, are you finished? We're going to have hot pot. What the hell are you talking about? Why do you have to mention the female corpse? If you want me to tell me, you must be possessed by evil spirits!"
"Hey, Brother Bao, you're right."
Pipilu snatched his two huge nostrils: "Brother Bao, I was indeed possessed that day. That day, I went to Sun Blind, and Sun Blind said the same thing."
"Who is blind son Sun?"
"Sun Blind Sun is my neighbor, who specializes in helping people push their backs and massage them. Sometimes he also works part-time fortune telling, especially likes to touch bones and fortune telling for middle-aged women. That day, after seeing the female corpse, I felt uncomfortable all over, so my mother asked me to find Sun Blind Sun."
"Hey, does your mother often let blind man Sun touch his bones?"
"Brother Bao, don't do this, I'm telling the truth."
"Okay, continue."
"Blind Sun knew my mother and was very polite to me. He asked me to sit on the sofa in the massage room and set up a brazier in front of me, with a few messy pieces of paper money on the outside of the brazier."
"That's not paper money, it's an evil-removing talisman."
"Yes, yes, how do you know, Brother Bao?"
"Stop talking nonsense, continue."
"Blind Sun was lying in his mouth through the brazier, and then used a strange tone to make me lift my eyelids, saying that I wanted to see the whites of my eyes."
"He is blind, how do you look at you?"
"Yes, I don't know how he saw it. He said he could see it anyway, and he also said that he had eyes in his heart like a mirror, and could see everything clearly, even the Norwegian forest in a woman's underwear."
"Okay, stop being silly, then say, what did Blind Sun see after lifting your eyelids?"
"After Blind Sun lifted my eyelids, he saw a figure squirming between the whites of my eyes. Then, he asked me if the whites of my eyes would be itchy? I said, itchy."
"Then what?"
"Then Blind Sun asked me again, which method of itch is exactly? I said it was a wave of itch, and I would not feel itchy when I walked under the sun, but once I walked into a cool place, under the shade of trees, or in the room, I would feel extremely itchy eyes..."
“…”
Song Tianbao suddenly stopped and looked at Pipilu's eyes seriously.
