Chapter 22 Nails

My face looked strange and surprised.

No money, but my fingernails.

What is this thing for? Can it still be eaten?

Looking at my fingernails, I feel nervous these days.

It hasn't been pruned for several days and some of them are getting too long.

But the other party looked very serious and even took out a pair of big scissors:

"Young man, you can't miss one of your ten nails."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the big mouse in her arms stretched its head.

He screamed strangely at me, looking very excited.

I was a little disgusted with that big rat, and I was a little confused about this deal.

However, the thought of this supermarket is weird.

You definitely can't use regular supermarkets to guess how this supermarket operates, so there won't be too much entanglement.

Nodding awkwardly:

"good!"

Put down the cloth bag in your hand and pick up the big black scissors.

Then he cut his fingernails on a piece of red paper.

The room was very quiet and cool.

There is only the "click" sound when I cut my nails.

The old woman was still standing nearby, stretching her head and giving instructions:

"Cut it longer, then grow it longer!"

My face was full of embarrassment. I had already cut it close to the flesh. If it grew longer, I would have to cut off a piece of flesh.

Under the old woman's harsh requirements.

The ten nails were cut quickly.

Putting down the big scissors, he handed over the nails on the red paper:

"Mom, the nails you want!"

The old woman smiled and said:

"well……"

As she spoke, she took the red paper with her old, wrinkled hands.

When I saw that the transaction was completed, I picked up the bag and left.

I'm pressed for time and can't delay too much here.

And there is something indescribably weird about this place.

But who knew, as soon as the old woman got my broken nails, she unfolded them and handed them to the big mouse.

He said happily:

"Eat quickly! Eat to increase your longevity and grow taller, hehehe..."

The big rat poked his head in, opened his mouth and started eating my broken nails.

"Keke" kept chewing in his mouth.

The hairless tail swayed from side to side easily.

That scene made my scalp numb and my hairs stood up...

My face changed slightly and I swallowed a lot of saliva.

He took a few steps back, turned around and ran outside the house.

It's so weird.

As soon as I went out, the half-open wooden door closed with a clang.

Even so, I seem to be able to see it.

The big rat was wagging its hairless tail while chewing my nails.

I felt scared and uncomfortable, so I walked forward nervously.

After a while, the cabin was no longer visible except for bursts of mist and the glow of red lanterns.

Look at the time, it's 8:40 pm.

It's still more than an hour until ten o'clock.

Now that my phone is out of battery, I can't order a ride-hailing service.

So I had to hurry up, otherwise I might not be able to get to the Chenghuang Temple in Longgang Mountain before ten o'clock.

I quickened my pace and ran down the aisle of the cemetery.

Soon, we came to the intersection where we met the little girl before.

When I went there just now, I walked for more than ten minutes.

Now that I'm back, it only takes three to five minutes.

This road is very strange, but I can't explain why it is so strange.

It was deserted here, except for the tombstone, and there was no trace of the little girl.

But in my heart, I am also very grateful to the little girl named "Li Lingling".

If she hadn't given me directions, I might not have been able to find the Rose Supermarket all night.

He came to her grave and bowed to her:

"Little sister, thank you.

If my brother can still live in the future.

He will definitely come to offer incense to you someday!"

After saying that, I'm leaving.

But at this moment, a red apple suddenly rolled out of the fruit basket in front of her grave.

The red apple was impartial and rolled right in front of my toes.

I looked at it in surprise, then looked up at the black and white photo of the cute little girl on the tombstone.

I feel like I understand what she means.

I bent down and picked up the apples on the ground:

"Little sister, do you want to treat me to an apple?"

There was no sound in response, but I felt a cool breeze blowing towards my face.

In the past, feeling this kind of cool breeze always made me feel uneasy.

But now, not only did I not feel frightened, but it actually relieved my nervousness a lot.

"Thank you little sister. If my brother can live, he will definitely keep his word."

After saying that, I didn’t care whether the apple was dirty or not and just took a bite.

I haven't eaten anything for a whole day and this apple feels extremely sweet.

Without stopping too long, he turned around and ran towards the exit of the cemetery.

When I came to the foot of the mountain.

Looking back again, there was nothing but tombstones all over the mountain.

He took a deep breath, felt the coldness in the air, and ran outside.

The security guard at the security booth was still watching TV series and didn't notice me.

I left the cemetery and ran along the road.

Now I just want to find a car, arrive at Longgang Mountain as soon as possible, and complete the task assigned to me by Master Gu.

But Nanshan Cemetery is in the suburbs, so I ran for ten or twenty minutes, let alone driving.

Not even a single person was seen.

I looked at the time anxiously. It was almost 9:10 and I still couldn't find the car.

If this continues, I will definitely not be able to get to the City God Temple before ten o'clock.

Master Gu made it clear that once ten o'clock passes, the female ghost that is pestering me will definitely appear.

If she comes again, I will really die.

I pressed the power button frantically, hoping that the battery on my phone would be stronger so that I could hire an online ride-hailing service at a high price!

But who knew, just when I was extremely anxious.

One looks very old.

And the van, which didn't even have taillights, suddenly stopped in front of me.

I didn't even realize it was coming from behind me.

It was rather sudden and just appeared.

Before I could react, a middle-aged man with a pale face and sweating profusely rolled down the window.

He shouted to me:

"Little brother, is this the car you called?"
