Wang Shi could tell at a glance that this was a group of fake Taoist priests.
The reason was that he noticed that one of the young men with pigtails was not dressed like a Taoist priest at all, but more like a member of an ethnic minority. The key was that the man had a tattoo on his chest.
The New Year is coming soon. Wang Shi, like ordinary people, encountered a lot of auspicious words and wanted to get lucky.
Wang Shi touched his pocket and found that there was only one hundred and ten yuan in it. Wang Shi took out ten yuan and handed it to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest smiled and recited the Taoist name, said a few words of blessing, and then said goodbye to Wang Shi.
Just as he stepped into the gate of his home, Wang Shi looked back at the three of them, and happened to see the young man with pigtails looking at him. The young man's eyes revealed a coldness that made Wang Shi uncomfortable.
Everyone already knows what happened next. A few days later, Wang Shi suffered from a strange disease. The doctor at the First Hospital said it was a parasitic disease, and the hospital was conducting research on the case.
When Wang Shi said this, Chujiu looked at me with questioning eyes, and I nodded.
As expected, the young man with braided hair was the man from the Gu Miao tribe who was with Fang Liqun before.
Wang Shi was not sick at all, but was also bewitched, and fell under the same spell as me and Xiaoyu.
As for why the people of the Gu Miao tribe used poisonous spells on Wang Shi, it is still unknown.
Wang Shi was in a coma in the hospital for two days. During the process, the doctor performed several rounds of gastric lavage on him and some special treatments. This was all what Wang Shi's family told him when he woke up.
The hospital suppressed Wang Shi's symptoms and said that there was currently no cure, but there would definitely be a cure in the short term. Wang Shi could only be discharged from the hospital and go home to wait for notification from the hospital.
Wang Shi thought that he had gone through the gate of hell and had some openness. If it can't be cured, just let it go. Most people who do business pay attention to the concept that wealth is in heaven and life and death are determined by fate.
A few days after leaving seclusion, a young Taoist priest came to his home. The young Taoist priest named Wang Shi and wanted to see him, claiming that he could cure Wang Shi's strange disease.
Wang Shi met the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest casually told Wang Shi's illness, and took out a piece of talisman paper. He burned it in front of Wang Shi, threw the ashes into a bowl of water, and asked Wang Shi to drink it.
Not long after drinking Fu Shui, Wang Shi's stomach began to tingle, and the pain only lasted for a short while. Wang Shi began to sweat on his head.
Just when Wang Shi couldn't hold on anymore and was about to collapse, his throat suddenly began to boil and he vomited, spitting out some white particles and a red blood mass the size of a glass bead.
Wang Shi suddenly felt refreshed, the congestion in his chest disappeared, and his whole body became much more relaxed.
Wang Shi asked how much money should be given for meritorious deeds. The young Taoist smiled and shook his head, saying that there was no need for money and he only needed Wang Shi to do him a small favor.
The young Taoist priest asked Wang Shi to find a place where no one was around to talk, so Wang Shi took the young Taoist priest to the study.
The young Taoist priest asked Wang Shi for a small favor. He actually asked Wang Shi to provide the residence or warehouse address of a wealthy businessman in the chamber of commerce.
Only then did Wang Shi realize that this group of people had actually been targeting him for a long time. Wang Shi refused to agree to it. He knew the consequences of providing the address, and he couldn't do it if he betrayed his friends and the chamber of commerce.
Wang Shi asked the young Taoist priest to make a price, and he was willing to do so even if it meant bankrupting his family.
The young Taoist priest smiled again, shook his head, and asked Wang Shi. What would happen if his wife, children, and children got the same disease as him at the same time?
When the young Taoist priest left, he left behind a message that he would come back the next day.
That night, Wang Shi couldn't sleep. He thought a lot, but he didn't dare to call the police. He didn't dare to gamble with the lives of his family.
In the end, Wang Shi compromised. He only provided an address. If these Taoist priests defrauded money, he would definitely find a way to compensate the deceived person in the future.
But there are so many wealthy businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce, whose address should he provide? This is another problem.
Wang Shi first thought of a person who often opposed him, and immediately rejected it. Taking the opportunity to suppress his opponent was not what a man would do.
"Then let God decide."
Wang Shi handed over this problem to God. He took a piece of paper, wrote some people's names, and then threw these names into a small bottle.
Wang Shi blew hard at the mouth of the bottle, and the small pieces of paper in the bottle began to fly. The first person to fly out of the mouth of the bottle and land on the ground was Deng Deyou.
The next day the young Taoist priest came to Wang Shi's house again.
After some threats and inducements, Wang Shi gave him the address of Deng Deyou's warehouse.
I thought that after giving him the address, my family would be in peace. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the young Taoist priest came to the door again.
The young Taoist priest asked Wang Shi to give information about a wealthy businessman again, and asked Wang Shi to help Deng Deyou in the middle and bring Deng Deyou to him as soon as possible.
When the young Taoist priest left, he gave Wang Shi a five-day deadline.
If it exceeds five days, let Wang Shi prepare to arrange the funeral arrangements for someone in his family. The young Taoist priest specifically reminded Wang Shi that calling the police is the stupidest solution.
This is also the reason why Wang Shi is concerned about Deng Deyou's affairs.
"President Deng, today is the last deadline. How about you agree to that evil man? I will pay for the one hundred thousand yuan fee. I am an only son. Nothing can happen to him. Otherwise, how will I face him after my death?"
To my ancestors, President Deng, I beg you."
After Wang Shi told the whole story, he knelt down next to Deng Deyou and begged Deng Deyou to save his family.
Deng Deyou, who was originally very angry, felt relieved after hearing Wang Shi tell the story.
"Old Wang, what are you doing? Hey, get up quickly!"
Deng Deyou stood up and helped Wang Shi up. Wang Shi begged Deng Deyou to agree to the cruel Taoist priest.
Just think of yourself spending 100,000 yuan to buy the safety of your whole family. You can still scrape together the 100,000 yuan that you have saved over the years.
Wang Shi, who had been tortured by a strange disease once, knew very well the inhuman pain. He would rather die than let his family endure such torture.
Deng Deyou is not evil-minded at all, to be exact, he still has some childishness that should not be expected at this age, which is why he and Chujiu can play together.
At this time, Deng Deyou didn't know what to do, so he looked to Uncle Ding for help. Uncle Ding frowned and stared at Wang Shi, also hesitant.
"Uncle Ding, please agree first."
I understand the reason why Uncle Ding is in trouble. On the one hand, it is human nature, and on the other hand, it is the Chamber of Commerce.
"Hey, Wang Shi, why don't you go and tell the Taoist priest that Deng Deyou agreed. What exactly do you need to do?"
Wang Shi left the office with a lot of gratitude, saying that he would try to collect as much as 100,000 yuan when he came.
"Old Ding, why didn't you tell Wang Shi that the haunting was a hoax?"
Deng Deyou cursed for a long time, probably because he felt unlucky to encounter such a thing just after the New Year, and he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"I'll go to the public security bureau. You can send Qin Feng and Chujiu Brotherhood to school. Don't delay their studies."
Chujiu said speechlessly for a while, there was no school yesterday, Friday, and today Saturday.
Uncle Ding, who was about to go out, smiled awkwardly and touched his head. Deng Deyou joked that President Ding only has work and rest in his heart, and has no calendar.
"Where do you want to play? I'll take you there. I don't want to work today."
After Uncle Ding left, Deng Deyou patted Chujiu on the forehead and said that he could take Chujiu to any place he thought of.
"If I were Uncle Ding, I would be the first to fire you. You should work hard for the Chamber of Commerce. If you are stupid and don't work hard, you will be looked down upon."
Although Chujiu said so, he still told Deng Deyou that when he came back from buying breakfast, he saw a game arcade not far from the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
Deng Deyou obediently took Chujiu into the game hall and bought twenty yuan of game coins. Then Chujiu drove him back to work at the Chamber of Commerce.
"Remember to come back before lunch, the chamber of commerce has a canteen."
Not long after the arcade opened, the boss was cleaning. Several of the machines still had black screens, probably because the customers hadn't arrived yet, in order to save electricity.
Twenty yuan and sixty game coins, I was given thirty game coins on the ninth day of the new year, and then I walked to an arcade machine with Street Fighter written on it.
I was surprised that all the game machines in the arcade were empty, and there was only a young man in his twenties sitting in front of this machine.
Chujiu stood behind the young man, watching the young man press the operation buttons.
After a while, the young man noticed Chujiu behind him. He kindly reminded Chujiu to play other games first. Playing Street Fighter would be a waste of game currency. The record of this Street Fighter game was made by him.
Chujiu just smiled and casually inserted a game coin into the coin slot.
The scene where the man was fighting was paused, indicating that a new player had joined.
The man stared at Chujiu twice, shook his head with a complicated expression and sighed: "I've seen you like this a lot, don't you think it's a loss to play for two minutes with one coin? I told you that I broke the record of this machine, look.
Since you are so courageous, I will give you one round."
After Chujiu chose the character "Ken", the man looked at his character "General" Vega, and his eyes towards Chujiu were even more filled with pity.
Regarding the characters in Street Fighter, Chujiu often told me about them in the village.
"Ken" is Takashi's younger brother. He was sent to Japan when he was 12 years old to practice Goquan. After returning to the United States, he participated in various fighting competitions and won the title of "American Fighting King".
Chujiu told me that "Ken" has the same skills as his senior brother "Long", but they don't look as gorgeous as "Long" and are closer to ordinary people.
Similarly, I know "General" Vega. This character is the final boss in the game. Only when you successfully challenge "General" can the game be considered cleared.
The game console display enters the countdown.
"Three, two, one"
"round one!"
With a loud beep for the first round, the young man shook the joystick and pressed the control buttons frantically. The "General" rushed towards "Ken" in the ninth day with an unstoppable attitude and lightning.
The "Ken" of Chujiu stood there without any action. The young man turned to look at Chujiu with a proud smile, as if victory was about to come.
