Chapter 16: Cheating
I laughed secretly.
You see, sometimes people only believe what they want to believe, and the truth never matters.
I was used to seeing those children in the village complain to their parents innocently after bullying me. Now it was my turn to do this, but I didn't feel happy at all. Instead, I was so disappointed.
Asking human beings to discuss matters is simply a luxury.
The vegetable seller turned red in the face and did not dare to speak or look at me. He held his wrist and moved it twice, then lowered his head and returned to his place.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the surrounding vendors became busy again.
The middle-aged woman was selling steamed buns. She gave me a few steamed buns and told me in a low voice that this vegetable vendor was cheating and doing everything. The vendors in the morning market were angry but dared not speak out.
Today, I gave them a bad breath.
I smiled and said no more, and then I saw a strange shadow standing above the middle-aged woman's head. The shadow was not as scary as the ghost that came to me. It was blue and purple, with a trace of sadness.
I took out two talismans from my arms and gave them to her.
She obviously didn't believe it, but she was embarrassed to say it directly. She just said that young people should find some serious business while they are young, and not go down the old path of vegetable sellers.
I nodded in agreement without saying a word.
Seeing that I was stubborn, she stopped talking.
I hugged the bun and wolfed it down.
As soon as I finished eating the steamed buns, a beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen came over.
She was wearing a goose-yellow V-neck dress, her hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, and the broken hair on her temples swayed slightly as she walked, like spring willows, soft and soft.
Her almond eyes were full of curiosity, her rosy lips were like ripe hawthorns on the mountain, and her long legs were so white that they dazzled in the sunlight.
Even I have to admit that she is pure and beautiful.
If I hadn’t had Gong Yiyu in my heart, I would probably have fallen.
The vegetable vendor on the side stared at her with a sly look. I raised my head and gave him a warning look. He turned his head hurriedly, not daring to look again.
This girl walked up to me and said with a smile: "Hey! Does your peace charm work well?"
"Good job."
She raised her eyebrows and slightly opened her red lips: "How much does one cost?"
"twenty."
"It's not expensive. Handsome guy! Don't be so serious! Tell me what effects it has, and then I can buy it with confidence!"
Her big eyes flickered, as if she could talk.
I muttered: "Keep you safe."
"Pfft," she laughed: "You are interesting, and you are not worried that this thing will not sell."
"..."
After dealing with ghosts for a long time, I really don’t know how to deal with people who are not malicious, so I can only stay silent.
She waved her hands indifferently, the pale pink nails on her fingers glinting slightly: "It's so boring. Alas! Today's handsome guys are either gay or just pieces of wood.
How about this, if you smile a little brighter, I'll buy you a few peace charms?"
I was stunned, are you making me laugh?!
The aunt selling steamed buns was shouting at the side: "Young man, laugh! How many people want to make money by selling laughter but they can't do it. Why don't you use it as soon as you have the conditions?"
This aunt is actually more anxious than me!
The girl looked at me with interest.
I raised my head, rolled my eyes up, and forced out a smile.
The girl was startled and took two steps back, obviously frightened by me.
I really didn’t mean it. Ever since Gong Yiyu disappeared and my parents died, I have never laughed from the bottom of my heart.
Even if you force yourself to laugh, it's just a superficial smile.
I sighed and said, "Sorry."
She patted her proud chest and waited for a while before saying: "Forget it, you better stop laughing. Give me two of your talismans. If they don't work, I will come back to trouble you! Give yours
The stall was demolished..."
After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment, apparently realizing that I didn't have a stall.
"Ahem," she coughed twice, and said with a fierce expression, "...I'll tear you apart!"
I nodded, took out two soul-calming charms from my arms and gave them to her.
She looked over and over for a while, her eyes showing a look of disappointment: "This is written on A4 paper and a marker pen, and there are rough edges on it! Even if you are trying to lie, you should be professional at least!"
"I'm not lying."
"Forget it, forget it! For the sake of your handsomeness, I am unlucky today!"
After she finished speaking, she folded the Soul Calming Talisman, stuffed it into her bag, gave me forty yuan, and turned around and left.
A faint orchid fragrance escapes.
But I stared at her back in trance.
The aunt who sells steamed stuffed buns hates the iron. She said: "Young man, you didn't behave well just now. Do you regret it now?!"
I shook my head and said no more.
I clearly saw a kid lying behind this girl.
Different from the weird and evil ghosts I usually see, although this kid's eyes and nose are a little blurry, he doesn't have much anger. He turned back and smiled at me, just like a living baby.
When I had money, I first bought a bottle of water and several bags of compressed biscuits.
I have to say that things are really expensive nowadays, so I spent more than half of my forty yuan.
I couldn't bear to stay in the hotel, so I went back under the bridge.
Familiar bridges, familiar lights, unfamiliar crowds.
Five or six strong men surrounded one person, punching, kicking, and swearing. The smell was a bit worse than that of a latrine.
I don't look good, it's not that I have a strong sense of justice, it's just that they blocked my sleeping place.
Without saying a word, I rushed forward and knocked these people to the ground in a few strokes.
They probably realized that I was not a good person, so they all looked at me resentfully, leaving only one sentence: "You will pay the price for your nosy!"
I laughed out loud.
Compared with ghosts and monsters, humans are really ridiculous. They always say threatening words but dare not actually take action.
Sad and pathetic.
After these people left, I walked over and saw a strange-looking man huddled in the corner.
He was naked and covered with hair, which was dark and hairy.
He also had hair on his face, which was so long. After being wetted with blood, the hair became tangled and ugly.
Compared with humans, he is probably more like an orangutan.
chimpanzee.
When he saw me coming, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and held his head with both hands.
I sat next to him and handed him compressed biscuits and water.
With a look of horror in his eyes, he tentatively took the biscuits and water and ate them hungrily.
His teeth were sharp, his eyes were fierce, and the hard compressed biscuits made a "squeaking" sound in his mouth.
His facial features were submerged in the black hair, and his outline was blurry.
He finished a bag of compressed biscuits and drank a bottle of water before finally sighing.
Chapter completed!
