Chapter 38: The Identity of Shi Nanbei
I was also frightened and a little confused, so I quickly told me about the card that the little fat guy gave me. After hearing this, Long Xiaoman frowned, snatched the card from my hand, and said with an unhappy expression: "
Fortunately, I have been following you for the past two days, how many secrets do you still have!"
I asked her what was going on, how could a card bleed? She didn't say anything, she just took out a talisman and turned it around on the card, then raised it upwards, and the talisman suddenly turned into a wisp of white light.
Fly in one direction.
Long Xiaoman hurriedly walked in the direction of the white light. I didn't know what was going on, so I quickly followed him.
When I arrived at a utility room that had been abandoned for a long time behind the school gymnasium, I saw that the charm that Long Xiaoman had just taken out was actually posted on the door.
Long Xiaoman pulled off the charm, pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a sour musty smell. Although it was broad daylight, the light in this house was particularly bad, and things inside looked blurry.
Suddenly I heard something moving in the corner. When I looked carefully, I found that there seemed to be a black shadow moving around.
Because it was daytime, Long Xiaoman was also nearby, so I didn't feel scared at all. I walked over bravely, took a closer look, and almost jumped up with joy, "Damn, little fat man, Shi Dongxi, why are you here?"
here!"
This man turned out to be a little fat man, his whole body was wet, his body was bloated than before, and his belly was even bigger, as if he was pregnant with twins. He was shivering in the corner and looked very cold.
He saw me and said with difficulty, "Your uncle, my name is Shi Nanbei, not Dongxi!"
"It's all the same, it's all the same, haha!"
I felt very happy when I saw the little fat man, and I was about to go over to help him, but I heard him shout at me, "Don't come over!"
I was stunned and asked you what happened?
He said, "Did you check the balance on that card?"
I scratched the back of my head and said sheepishly, "Hey, I'm sorry, I used up all your money, but don't worry, I will definitely find a way..."
"Your uncle, I told you not to check the balance. How much is left?" The little fat man looked very anxious.
I said there were seven yuan left before, but I checked just now and found that there was only one yuan left. Oh, but I actually took out five hundred yuan, which is really strange...
After saying this, I realized the problem with the card and quickly asked the little fat man, "What's wrong with your card? Why is it still bleeding?"
The little fat man said nothing, his face was frighteningly pale, and his expression was frozen. After a moment, he slowly raised his head and said, "Zhang Zhanning, are you willing to save me?"
I immediately became anxious and asked him what happened.
He looked at me and hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, "Forget it, get out of here quickly."
I said yes, I'll take you with me, and I was about to walk over, but he stopped me sharply, "Don't come over here!"
I was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
"Listen to him, let's go." Long Xiaoman said suddenly.
I asked Long Xiaoman what was going on, why did I hear so confused?
Long Xiaoman glanced at the little fat man and said, "He is doing this for your own good and does not want to harm you."
"Harm me?" I was confused, "Why did he harm me?"
Long Xiaoman looked at me and shook his head, "Why don't you understand that this friend of yours is not a human being at all!"
"What!" I couldn't believe my ears, "Why is he not a human being?"
Long Xiaoman continued, "It is a hungry ghost that escaped from the hungry ghost realm. Hungry ghosts in the hungry ghost realm have endless money and endless food, but they are never full and suffer from hunger every day.
The suffering.”
"The card it gave you is where the ghost spirit of the hungry ghost is. The ghost spirit is equivalent to the human soul. When he gave the ghost spirit to you, it was equivalent to putting his life in your hands. You checked the balance and moved.
Basically, the number on the balance is the countdown to the evil ghost’s life.”
"The hungry ghost realm is different from the human realm. People still have souls after death, but once a hungry ghost dies, it will disappear into ashes and completely disappear in the six realms of reincarnation."
I asked if there was only one yuan left in the balance, did it mean that there was only one day left in his life?
Long Xiaoman nodded, "Let's go, don't touch him. As the hungry ghost's life comes to an end, the hungry ghost's habits will explode and he can eat any living thing involuntarily. If you go there, he will definitely lose control."
I will eat you myself."
After hearing this, I felt very anxious and quickly asked if there was any way to remedy the problem.
Long Xiaoman pointed at me and said, "Yes, feed it with the meat from your body. Feed it once a month and you can prolong its life."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
I was stunned on the spot, looking at the little fat man. At this time, he was speechless. The skin on his body had turned reddish brown. His belly was bulging. He was huddled in the corner and groaning in pain.
I gritted my teeth, raised my heart, picked up a sharp piece of iron from the side, and slashed it towards my arm.
"You're crazy!"
Long Xiaoman suddenly turned around and snatched the iron piece from my hand, "What are you doing!"
"Let me go, I want to save him!"
"He is just a hungry ghost crawling out of the hungry ghost realm. How about you cut your own flesh to save him?"
"Let go!" I pulled away from Long Xiaoman, "From the beginning, not only did he not harm me, but he helped me in every way, and he also put the most important ghost in my hands. He looks like this now,
It’s all because of me!”
"I don't care if he is a human or a hungry ghost, I only know that he is my friend. As long as he is my friend, I will risk my life to save him!"
Long Xiaoman looked at me blankly, his expression full of confusion. I looked at her and added, "For love, I can break my body to pieces, but for friendship, I can also stab myself at all costs!"
After finishing speaking, I took the iron piece back from the dazed Long Xiaoman's hand, and with a hiss, he cut off a piece of flesh from my arm. The severe pain made me break out in a cold sweat.
I endured the pain and put the piece of meat into the little fat man's mouth. After he swallowed it, he slowly returned to his original appearance, but he still looked very weak.
"You kid..." He was already able to speak, "You are really willing to cut your flesh to feed me. Damn you, don't think I will accept your favor..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I still have a lot of things waiting for you to help me do!"
I helped the little fat man up and walked slowly towards the door.
At this time, I figured out that when I encountered a ghost attacking the wall in Baihuai Village, Long Xiaoman said that returning the same way was a hungry ghost's solution. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I know that the little fat man is a hungry ghost.
ghost.
Then I understood why he was so greedy and never looked like he had enough to eat.
I don’t know why, but after finding out the real identity of the little fat man, I didn’t feel scared at all. I felt that the person I was supporting was just an ordinary friend.
When I walked to the door, Long Xiaoman suddenly stopped me and said, "Stop."
I was stunned and said without looking back, "No matter who I am, Zhang Zhanning, or what my relationship is, I don't care about any of this. I only know that I want to save my friend. I beg you to leave it alone."
matter."
With that said, I prepared to continue walking outside.
"Although he was temporarily saved by you, the ghost is still moved. It will no longer be able to see the sun. Wait until the sun sets before taking him out."
She paused, then added softly, "Don't worry, I will help."
I turned my head and saw that Long Xiaoman had a strange expression on his face. He handed me a handkerchief and motioned for me to bandage my arm.
I put the little fat man away and didn't take Long Xiaoman's handkerchief.
Long Xiaoman looked a little embarrassed, put the handkerchief back, and sighed softly, "You can go to the hospital to bandage it yourself. I'll watch him here."
I thought that losing such a large piece of meat was not an option, so I got up and walked out. When I reached the door, I was suddenly stopped by Long Xiaoman.
"What's wrong!" I turned to look at her displeased.
Long Xiaoman took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and said, "Take it, it will cost money to go to the hospital."
I was stunned and took the money, "I will pay you back!"
When I came back again, the little fat man had fully recovered, and he and Long Xiaoman were still chatting with each other. I don’t know what they were talking about. Anyway, they were both cheerful and seemed to be having a good time chatting.
"Your uncle almost killed me!"
As soon as the little fat man saw me, he ran over and punched me in the chest.
"Get away!" I pushed his hand away, "Who told you to hide it from me!"
The little fat man chuckled and said, now it's better. With your Zhang Zhanning's meat, I won't be hungry anymore.
As he spoke, he touched his belly and said with a look of enjoyment, "It feels so good to feel full!"
I felt panicked when I heard this, and quickly asked him to stop, "Let's get down to business, what's going on with Zhang Ya, what happened in the village?"
When the little fat man heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, "We have been planning this from the beginning. Zhang Ya, your second uncle, and the little mute all have problems. That day I found out that everyone in the village had died overnight.
Then I will..."
Bang! Bang!
As soon as the little fat man said this, the window suddenly shattered with a crash, and the curtains crashed as if someone had violently pulled them down to the ground. A beam of intense white light shot in from outside the window in an instant, and just hit the little fat man.
hiss--
ah--
A stream of white smoke erupted from the little fat man's skin with a hiss, and with a scream, he suddenly lay on the ground, his body twisted to an incredible extent.
"who!"
Long Xiaoman shouted sharply, quickly pulled up the curtain that fell to the ground and covered the little fat man, and then chased outside.
I wrapped the little fat man with a curtain and dragged him to a place where no light could be found. When I opened the curtain, I saw that the little fat man's skin had turned reddish-brown, his expression was dull, and he refused to respond no matter what.
After a while, Long Xiaoman came back from outside and threw a mirror aside, "Someone has been watching us secretly."
I asked if the murderer had been caught. Long Xiaoman shook his head, looked at the mirror and said, "The person who was staring at us secretly definitely didn't want us to know the truth of the matter, so he let the light in at the critical moment.
"
I asked the little fat man if he could be saved. Long Xiaoman took a look and said it was okay. He had eaten your flesh, so there was no danger for the time being.
Chapter completed!
