"It should...it should be a human being." I also said weakly.
Because in front of us is an old man wearing a black raincoat and a bamboo hat covering most of his face.
The old man looked a little skinny, especially his neck, which was so shriveled that only a layer of wrinkled skin was left covering the bones inside.
What's even more strange is that there is a layer of green stuff on the skin, which looks like complications caused by some disease.
On the back of the skinny hand, veins were popping out, and the black blood vessels were popping up abruptly one by one, clearly visible.
If the other party sat there motionless, he would look like a mummy.
This is the first time I've seen a skinny-faced person here, and he looks very scary.
If I hadn't just seen his throat move a few times, I would have really doubted whether he had said the words just now.
"If you want to find someone, sit down and talk." The dull and depressed voice sounded again.
The old man stretched out his withered fingers like dry wood, motioned for my mother and me to sit down and said.
At this time, I was surprised to find that the old man's fingernails were a little long, and they were also faintly black.
I don’t know if it’s because the nails are too dirty and not taken care of in time, or because of some other reason.
Anyway, I felt a little uncomfortable when I looked at it, and it felt a bit like the nails of a monster.
I lowered my head and looked at the two small wooden stools in front of me, then turned to look at my mother.
My mother nodded towards me, and then we sat down together.
As soon as we sat down, we were face to face with the thin old man sitting there.
Only then did I realize that under the old man's huge bamboo hat, there was actually a yellow and shriveled face, with only a layer of shriveled skin left on the face covering the entire skull.
Moreover, he also wore a pair of black sunglasses, which covered most of his face, making it difficult to see clearly.
That gray beard, almost as long as a finger, is very eye-catching.
I secretly guessed that this person was probably a little older.
However, this little old man looks a little familiar.
But I looked at it carefully, and it seems that I have never seen such a skinny person before, right?
I asked the old man tentatively: "Excuse me, have you seen my dad? He is the middle-aged man who has been here for several days in a row recently?"
As I said that, I quickly pulled out the photo of me and my dad in the photo album on my phone, pointed at my dad's photo and said, "Is this the person?"
The old man reached out and pushed up the sunglasses on his face, then nodded with some difficulty and said: "I've seen it, I've seen it."
I immediately liked it and continued to ask: "You, do you know where he went?"
"He." The old man was about to speak, but at this time another fortune teller on the side said: "Little girl, don't believe what this blind man says. He is blind at all. How could he have met your father?"
As he spoke, he laughed.
"That's right, that's right." At this time, other people also burst into laughter.
"I'm afraid your dad wouldn't know even if he stood in front of him."
"Hahaha, the blind man started bragging again."
"." Everyone said one thing to the other and slandered him.
Obviously, everyone is very repulsive to the sallow and thin old man.
It is said that people who work in the same industry are enemies, and it seems this is true.
However, I don’t know why these people are targeting this little old man.
Is he new here?
That's why they are ostracized.
"Huh." The little old man snorted coldly, "There are some people who are blind in their eyes, but their hearts are not. There are some people who are not blind in their eyes, but their hearts are blind."
"Smelly blind man, who are you scolding?" The elder brother who was just now became upset immediately. He stood up and pointed at the old man's nose to scold him. He even said fiercely: "If you can, just say it again?"
My mother and I were frightened by this situation and knew something was going to happen.
My mother secretly reached out and tugged on my clothes, signaling me to get up and leave here quickly.
I don't know why, but I think this old man must know something.
At least, in my eyes he is much more reliable than other fortune tellers.
It is said that out of ten fortune tellers, nine out of ten will be blind.
Why?
Because they revealed too many secrets, they were punished and retaliated by God, which made them lose their eyes.
Wasn't that expert before just a blind man?
On the contrary, I feel more and more that this little old man is not simple.
At this time, I had been pulled up from the stool and stood aside.
"Huh." The little old man snorted again: "As the saying goes, there are rules in every industry, but you are breaking the rules."
"Broken the rules?" The man raised his head and laughed loudly and said: "The rules are set by people. I can do whatever I want. What can you do to me like a blind blind man?"
The little old man was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared at these words, but he did not refute again.
Seeing this, the man thought he had decided the winner, so he looked at my mother and me with a proud look on his face and said, "I have met the man you just asked about, and he has been here for several days in a row. He didn't come here just yesterday."
Come, right?"
When my mother and I heard this, we nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
The day before yesterday, my father took my mother and I to the countryside to pay homage to Uncle Lin Hao, but of course he didn't come.
This is true, so my mother and I believe it deeply.
"That's right." The man nodded proudly.
I also hurriedly handed over the photo on my phone respectfully and said, "Brother, could you please help me take a look to see if it's this person?"
After all, I still have some worries about making mistakes.
My dad was originally very dull and didn't like to talk much, let alone socialize with others.
Therefore, if he really came here to guard for several days, he might not be familiar with these people.
The man glanced over casually, just glanced at it, his face suddenly changed with fright, and he kept muttering in his mouth.
"How could it be him?"
"How could it be him?"
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" I was confused by this big brother's sudden reaction.
Weren't you still arrogant just now?
Why did I get scared all of a sudden?
"I, I don't know him, I don't know him." As he said this, the man turned around and ran away, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Even the props on the ground were not taken away in time.
"Hey, brother, what are you doing?" I looked at the tall figure who had already run away in surprise.
"Little girl, who are you looking for? Are you scared to death?" Other people also came up curiously.
"It's just a photo of my dad." I said, holding the phone up high.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as my dad's photo was displayed, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"What?"
"How could it be him?"
"Yeah, why is it him?"
"Quick, quick, run quickly."
Suddenly, everyone ran away like a swarm of swarms.
Everyone was almost the same. They didn't even dare to ask for their belongings on the ground and ran away, as if they were afraid of being caught up by me.
At this time, my mother and I were completely dumbfounded.
I turned my phone over and looked at the photos. Doesn’t this look normal?
Why do these people feel as scary as a mouse seeing a cat when they see it?
My dad doesn’t seem that ugly, does he?
"Humph, a bunch of cowards." At this time, the old man said this coldly.
Only then did my mother and I realize that it seemed that except for him who was still sitting calmly under the bridge, everyone else had already been scared away.
I thought to myself, it seems that he is indeed a capable person.
I hurriedly sat down again and said, "Old sir, do you know what happened just now? Why were they so frightened when they saw my dad's photo?"
"Hehehe" the old man smiled so eerily that I couldn't help but shudder.
My mother also sat next to me and stretched out her hand to tug on my sleeve with a scared look on her face.
"They're just a bunch of cowards." The old man said quietly.
I was baffled by this statement.
But I heard that there was something behind his words.
"You, do you know something?" I asked again.
Since you have no choice, you can only try your luck.
