At midnight at Shanghai Station, a train bound for Shanghai from Guizhou arrived at the station. In the hard-seat carriage, a young man with long braided hair and typical attire from the southern Guizhou region and dark skin carrying a snakeskin bag poured out along with a large number of people.
TRAIN STATION.
After leaving the train station, the long-haired young man looked around blankly. The streets of Shanghai at midnight were still as bustling as during the day, especially around the train station. A large number of passengers waiting for the train huddled in every corner and took a nap.
The long-haired young man took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and stopped a taxi waiting in the waiting area of the station. After getting in, he told the driver in extremely broken Mandarin that he was going
The location is Sheshan, Shanghai.
In the taxi, the long-haired young man leaned against the window and looked out at Shanghai under the night sky. He didn't seem tired at all, but was very excited.
"Young man, is this your first time in Shanghai?" the taxi driver suddenly turned around and asked.
The long-haired young man still looked out of the car and sighed.
"Hey, I'm still coming to Shanghai at this time. Houses are extremely expensive and consumption is extremely high. Life here is not necessarily easier than elsewhere. In recent years, the number of immigrants coming to Shanghai has been much less than before, and most of them have gone to other places.
I am looking for a way to survive in this place.”
"I'm not here to work"
"Oh? Traveling? You don't look like it."
"My third uncle had an accident here, I came over to take a look."
"Oh, what an accident? Hey, let's see how the person is doing. If it doesn't work, just take him home. Seeing a doctor in Shanghai will kill you," the driver reminded kindly with emotion.
"He's dead," the young man said indifferently.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry." The driver smiled awkwardly and asked, "Did you die in an accident? Have you called the police? The police in Shanghai are quite capable, unlike the police in other places who do nothing but eat.
live"
The long-haired young man shook his head and said: "If you don't call the police, the police won't take care of it...it's useless if you do."
The driver asked in surprise: "Really? What kind of accident happened and the police can't take care of it?"
"There's no need for the police, I'll figure it out myself." The long-haired young man leaning against the car window suddenly smiled strangely, and then said, "I'm afraid the police will be scared by this kind of thing."
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped near Sheshan. The long-haired young man walked slowly into Sheshan carrying a snakeskin bag. The taxi driver looked at his back and suddenly shuddered. This season
Shanghai was already very hot, but the driver noticed that it felt unusually cold inside the car after the man got off the car.
Sheshan Resort is still desolate, and the resort at night is even more deserted with a hint of eerie atmosphere. The young man carrying a snakeskin bag entered the Sheshan Resort alone and walked into the four-story building.
High unfinished building.
After entering the unfinished building, he went straight to the basement with familiarity. When he reached the entrance, he frowned and sniffed.
"Is it the smell of corpse oil? It's been burned completely? Then it's not like someone robbed the money halfway. What kind of enemy did the third uncle invite to kill people physically and mentally? Even their souls disappeared into thin air. And that's not it.
For corpse oil”
"Could it be that he was discovered when he was refining corpse oil?"
The young man walked into the ruins of the basement. After entering, he picked up a few jars that once contained corpse oil from the ground, brought them to his nose and smelled: "My third uncle's hard work for more than two years has been all in vain."
The young man took out a small incense burner with a rather strange shape from the snakeskin bag and placed it on the ground. He inserted a long incense stick and lit it. After that, a stream of green smoke slowly emerged and floated straight into the air. He then placed the third uncle's incense burner on the ground.
After placing the broken destiny tablet on the ground, he unscrewed a small bottle about the size of his thumb. After unscrewing the bottle, an extremely unpleasant stench came out.
After a few drops of golden oil dropped on the life card, it quickly blended into the life card and then disappeared. The long-haired young man sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands folded, his index finger bent and his two little fingers intertwined, and then his middle finger slowly
He leaned close to the incense and slowly guided the green smoke from the incense to surround several broken life tablets.
After the green smoke wrapped the life tablets, it slowly seeped into it. Then the life tablets suddenly burned, and an unpleasant smell similar to the one in the vial suddenly filled the basement. This young man
He seemed to enjoy the smell very much. He closed his eyes and sniffed it vigorously, feeling very intoxicated.
After a moment or three, the life tablet made of pure jade was completely burned, leaving only a small trace of light green ash.
Nearly an hour passed, and when the long incense in the small incense burner was burned out, the stench gradually dissipated in the air. After packing up his things, the long-haired young man simply lay down on the ground and slept.
Early the next morning, the long-haired young man woke up and took out a matchbox-sized box from the snakeskin bag. The box actually made a buzzing sound after being exposed to the sun, and it was still in the young man's hand.
Vibrating slightly, a light yellow bug flew out after opening the box, flapping its wings and flying up and down around the young man, and finally stopped in his hand.
He pinched a handful from the burnt ashes of the jade plaque on the ground and brought it to the insect's mouth. After smelling it, the insect opened its mouth and began to devour it.
After a small amount of ashes from the jade sign was eaten by it, it flew up again from the young man's hand and slowly flew towards the outside of the resort.
The young man followed Chongzi all the way down the mountain, and then walked for twenty minutes to the outside of the Sheshan villa area. Xiaochong waved his wings and entered the villa. The young man looked at the security guard at the gate and walked around to the distance and climbed over the wall.
The bug that entered earlier actually found it on its own initiative, and then guided him again, flying until it reached Zhao Fangsheng's house before stopping.
"It turns out... the body that Third Uncle used to refine the corpse oil came from here."
At 8:30 in the morning, Zhao Fangsheng walked out of the house with his briefcase. Li Lingge followed him with a smile and said softly: "Come back early in the afternoon and take me for a prenatal check-up."
"Well, I will rush back to take you to the hospital after handling the company's affairs." Zhao Fangsheng rubbed his wife's belly with his hand and said with a smile, "Wait for your father to come back with peace of mind, and then I will take you and your mother for a check-up."
Two months later, since Xiang Que sent the two children of the Zhao family to reincarnation, Li Lingge became pregnant again. Zhao Fangsheng and his wife immediately regarded Xiang Que as a heavenly being. Unfortunately, since their separation two months ago, they
I never met Xiang Que again.
Zhao Fangsheng waited for his wife to turn around and go back to the house. He was about to get in the car and leave the house when he suddenly found a young man with long hair and strange clothes standing outside the villa courtyard, looking at him with a faint smile.
