Seven Evil Slips Chapter 6:

Kiyo woke up.

In my mind, the picture in the dream is lingering, and it is as realistic as if I am on the scene.

10,000 three fingers showed her the courtyard where she was imprisoned in the first place, and offered a treasure: "It took a lot of hard work for Cao Pangpang and I to find it, and the liberation also contributed a lot."

The news from Zheng Mingshan is: The owner of that house is a big boss in Beijing. He is currently abroad. He bought the house in Lijiang. He comes here for vacation every year for three to five days. At that time, the house was just so vacant—the cheetahs and the others quietly occupied the magpie's nest at such a coincidental time.

Kiyo lay down for a while, got up as lightly as possible, put on his boots, and took his coat.

Before taking two steps, I suddenly heard Luo Ren's voice: "Where are you going?"

After he woke up this time, his alertness seemed to be much higher than before.

Afraid that he might be worried, Kiyo leaned down* and touched his forehead: "Go to the bathroom."

Luo Ren also smiled, put his arms around her waist, and leaned close to her ear, the warm breath tickled her cochlea.

Said: "I'm so easy to fool? Dress so neatly, go to the bathroom for a blind date?"

Kiyo smiled, he didn't care if he was exposed, but he was always happy to see that his spirit was improving day by day and he recovered quickly, so he lowered his head and kissed him, biting his lips lightly with his fine teeth.

Luo Ren was very helpful and said: "You can add more sets, but it's useless."

Kiyo buried his head in his shoulder, smiled for a long time, and then said: "I dreamed of the yard where the cheetah imprisoned me at first, there are some strange places, I want to go and see."

As expected, he frowned.

Kiyo thought for a while, and added: "Perhaps it was the hint from Fenghuang Luankou."

He understands the truth, but once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of well ropes, Kiyo has just been kidnapped, let her go out alone in the middle of the night, nothing can be assured.

Kiyo saw his thoughts: "When you were in a coma, I often came to see you at night, and I was used to going back and forth in the middle of the night many times. Besides, the big brother went to clean up that house. After the cheetah left, it was indeed true. Already vacant."

Luo Ren finally reluctantly nodded, but still made a request, the video call on the mobile phone must be turned on all the time, and keep in touch throughout the process.

***

After Muyo left, Luo Ren couldn't sleep anymore, sat up on the pillow, and kept looking at her phone. At first, she probably put her phone in her pocket, and the video was black, but she could hear her trotting and going up the steps sound.

Then, when the screen lit up, she turned the video camera to herself and said, "Here we are."

As he spoke, he turned away and let him look around.

The ancient city at night is not dark. Due to the needs of the image project, the lanterns, light boxes, and various signboards are still long-lasting. On the corners of the high eaves, you can see the silhouettes of black bamboo plants sticking out.

The scene suddenly changed subversively - the little girl "swimmed the wall" again.

Luo Ren pursed his lips, thinking that he should get better soon: Mudai didn't say anything, he must really want to go back to Youwu Town to worship Meihua Jiuniang.

It's just separated by a wall, the courtyard is strangely quiet, the rustling of the bamboo plants is very clear, Luo Ren asked her: "It's windy?"

"Well, it's windy tonight, and my hair is messed up."

She pushed open the door and fumbled to turn on the switch on the wall. The bright light barred the screen and turned white. After a pause, she saw clearly that it was an upward staircase.

The back door was closed, and the sound of footsteps seemed very hollow in the stairwell, and then, with a creak, she pushed open the door in front of her.

This is the hall, the lights are not turned on, the screen suddenly goes dark, the open window is not closed tightly, it is rattled by the wind, there is really a book spread out on the coffee table by the window, the pages of the scratched book are rattling, listening Luo Ren's heart felt cold, and in a trance, the cold wind that flipped the pages of the book seemed to blow straight into his neck, and he shivered unconsciously.

He called her: "Kiyo?"

***

Another morning.

Cao Jiefang was very active today. Before getting up at 13,000, he heard several loud and clear "ha... duo... lah", interspersed with Cao Yanhua's groaning and groaning voice. Routine?

Lying in the warm blanket, Wansan suddenly felt that Cao Yanhua was really quite able to persevere.

He came out yawning, and just entered the bar when Yanhong rushed up: "Update."

13000 gave her a blank look, slowly took the coffee cup, took out the needle, the coffee machine was in place, the buzzing sound of electrical appliances sounded, the strong smell of coffee beans permeated the bar, Uncle Zhang hurriedly walked through Go out through the hall, just pushed open the door, Cao Jiefang let out a cry.

The two looked towards the door, and heard Uncle Zhang scold loudly: "Do you want to die? Cao Jiefang, stand at the gate next time, and I'll lick your hair off, believe it or not?"

Oops! How can you easily provoke Cao Jiefang?

Wan San was about to say something, but at the other end, Cao Yanhua rushed over in a panic, blocking Uncle Zhang and Cao Jiefang.

"Uncle, you are troubled and troubled, free us, be polite, try to be polite..."

Uncle Zhang rolled his eyes: "I've lived most of my life, but in the end, I still have to be polite to a chicken?"

"No," Cao Yanhua stammered and explained, "We liberated, this... is a bit violent..."

"I'm afraid it's violent? If it dares to snort, I'll cook mushrooms with it tomorrow."

Uncle Zhang walked away.

Cao Yanhua was sweating, and walked inside with Cao Jiefang in his arms. Here, 13,000 pushed the ready-made coffee over.

Yan Hongsha gritted her teeth: "Before? Once upon a time?"

"Ang. Don't all stories start like this? Once upon a time."

Yan Hongsha was so angry that she slapped the bar counter, causing the plates and cups to shake three times.

Cao Yanhua passed by, although he still doesn't know the cause and effect, but he heard about it, and persuaded Yan Hongsha: "Sister Hongsha, my third brother is very kind."

"How concise the words are, if he starts writing 'a long, long time ago', it will take six days."

One thousand three looked at Cao Yanhua with relief: "Brother Cao is still transparent."

Yan Hongsha really thinks: Compared with Cao Jiefang, Cao Yanhua and Ten Thousand Three are more suitable to stay with Mushroom.

Before the ruthless words came out, Shisan's cell phone rang.

He picked it up, chatted for a few words, and then raised his head to greet them: "Call the magic stick, Luo Ren told us to go to the hospital immediately."

***

In the morning, Luo Ren had already been transferred to a single ward, and bought breakfast on Yanhongsha Road, serving six people, different varieties, steaming hot, and spread the dining table on the hospital bed to the brim.

Kiyo went to the door, closed it, and bolted it again.

Cao Yanhua was carrying a **** bag with a zipper, and at this moment he opened it mysteriously: "Brother Luo, look!"

Cao Jiefang's head came out in a jiffy, and then drooped by the zipper opening, with an expression of "I'm suffocated to death".

Cao Jiefang deserved a great credit for taking down the cheetah. Cao Yanhua had been thinking about bringing it to Luo Ren for a long time, but he was an important hospital, so he didn't dare to show it blatantly.

Luo Ren smiled and said, "I have something to do, let's chat while eating."

Really? I always feel that calling them over so solemnly and then "talking while eating" is a bit weird.

Yan Hongsha murmured in his heart, took a tea egg and peeled it, and Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua also exchanged glances, only Shengun ate the most undivided attention, crunching fried dough sticks and soy milk, commented: "Not good , not crispy fried!"

Kiyo sat on the side, holding the book in his arms, and waited patiently until everyone was hesitant to eat it, and then said softly: "I know what story the seven water shadows are telling."

Yan Hongsha was stunned for a moment, the peeled egg fell to the ground, and rolled far away, Shen stick was choked by soy milk and coughed, and ten thousand struggled to swallow the bun in his mouth, feeling like he was choking , blushed and asked Cao Yanhua for water, only Cao Jiefang was so happy that he flapped his wings and went down to the ground to chase the eggs.

Luo Ren looked at Mudai with a smile, and said: "The little girl is also bad, just wait for others to eat it."

There is a smile on his face, but that smile does not mean joy.

Among the group, the magic stick was the most anxious, and with a swipe of his mouth, he asked Mudai: "What story?"

Kiyo pointed the paper towards them.

It was a hard-shell book, and on the cover was a scholar with elegant robes and sleeves tied with a scarf, in a typical Chinese painting style, with three large characters "Zibuyu" on the side.

Cao Yanhua stood the farthest, squinting his eyes: "What is it?"

The magic stick let out an oh, as if seeing an old friend: "You are silent."

He explained: "This is a classic Chinese novel about strange things. It was written by Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty. I said, 'Collect widely the frightening things, listen to falsehoods, remember them and keep them'."

Luo Ren looked at him: "Have you seen it?"

Spiritual stick: "Of course. But I read it a long time ago, and I almost forgot about it. This book has... more than thirty volumes, and there are many stories."

Suddenly realized: "Here is the record of the seven fierce slips? Impossible, I have no memory at all."

Kiyo was silent for a while, and said: "This book, page 342, in the sequel, there is a story titled "Singing Dog"."

Cao Yanhua didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"

"Two jugglers took a dog and performed in the busy market. There were a lot of spectators because... that dog could sing."

Cao Yanhua gasped.

"Little master, this dog has become a spirit, right? It's more powerful than that... literate dog in Shuiying."

Shenzhu frowned, as if he was thinking hard about whether he had seen this story when he watched "Zi Bu Yu".

Kiyo continued talking.

"Because the show was so popular, the local county magistrate met him. He ordered people to bring the dog back, and told the trickster that he wanted to show Mrs. Tai a joy. Mrs. Tai was happy and would have a lot of fun. Rewarded."

The boss with his mouth open seemed to remember something.

"After the dog was brought back, the county magistrate ordered the dog to be brought into the Yamen, and asked the dog, are you a human or a dog?"

Wan San listened fascinated, but Cao Yanhua laughed: "Isn't this unnecessary? Of course it's a dog."

Kiyo glanced at him.

This glance made Cao Yanhua uneasy, and he stuttered: "Could it be...is it human?"

"The dog replied, I don't know whether I am a man or a dog."

Speaking of this, Shenstick let out a short "ah", and he remembered.

Kiyo paused for a moment, she couldn't continue, her fingers kept rubbing the spine of the book, Yan Hongsha faintly felt that it might not be a comfortable story, but she still couldn't help being curious: "And then?"

Shengun's face turned blue and white for a while, and he shook his head in a daze. Seeing that Kiyo hesitated, he said, "Let me tell."

He thought for a while: "There are other things in the meantime, I will not go into details. In short, the county magistrate became suspicious and asked the guards to arrest the two jugglers for questioning. They refused to admit it, and then they were severely punished, and they told the truth."

"Yes, this dog was made of a three-year-old child. First, the skin was burnt with medicine, so that the skin fell off..."

Kiyo lowered his head and did not speak, Yan Hongsha's face gradually turned pale, and smelling the aroma of tea and egg sauce in front of him, he suddenly felt nauseous one after another.

The magic stick is also very uncomfortable: "Then use dog hair to burn ashes, and apply a special medicine on the body, and let the child eat a kind of secret medicine, the sores on the body can be healed, and soon after, the whole body It has long hair and a tail, just like a dog."

The room was as quiet as empty. Cao Jiefang rolled the eggs with his little paws and raised his head a little uneasy. He didn't understand why these people suddenly became silent.

The following content, the magic stick can't remember very clearly, so he asked Kiyo: "What did you say in the book?"

Kiyo handed over the book.

God stick turned to page 342, and read it, although it is an ancient text, but it does not affect the understanding: "This method can not live a life, if you become a dog, you can profit for life. I don't know that killing children is infinite, but it is successful." This dog."

Cao Yanhua gritted his teeth: "These two bastards, what happened later, did they get retribution?"

The magic stick looked at the back of the text: "After the two confessed, they said, 'This is heaven, heaven! I just want to die quickly', and the county magistrate 'dragged in the city, committed crimes and committed suicide' , This death on the list probably means to be beaten to death, to be beaten to death with a stick."

Cao Yanhua still resented: "It's too cheap to kill these two grandsons, they should be hacked to death."

As he spoke, he thought of something again: "But little master, what does this have to do with our water shadow. It's hard... Could it be that dog..."

He suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.

I just heard Luo Ren say: "Kido had this dream for no reason. What's more, this book was obtained from Cheetah. If the content of singing dogs can be applied to recognition dogs, then water The story of the film is complete."

"The reason why the dog can read and even recognize the characters written by the private school in the town is not because the juggler taught it well, nor because it has become a master, but because it is a person at all."

"I don't know why, anyway, that dog escaped, and was even taken in by Mr. Private School's daughter."

Yan Hongsha only felt the hairs on his arms stand up one by one, and his chest felt tight: "Then that Mr. private school's daughter, do you know that the word recognition dog is actually... a person?"

Luo Ren thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.

"Do you remember the fifth water shadow we saw? It was Mr. Private School's daughter feeding the recognition dog. It was completely fed as a domestic animal. I think that girl is a kind person. If she knows that In fact, it is a person who is willing to adopt it, so no matter how you say it, it will be treated like a human being.”

Yan San said out of nowhere: "Besides, from the mentality of that dog that recognizes words, it would rather keep it a secret."

Yan Hongsha felt that the soles of his feet were getting cold. After shivering, he fell silent. He lowered his head and saw Cao Jiefang was at his feet, and subconsciously hugged him in his arms. also good.

Luo Ren continued: "Then, Mr. Private School's daughter got married. From the water shadow, we saw the big red wedding sedan chair, and also saw the word-reading dog. We have been staring at the wedding sedan chair obsessively."

Cao Yanhua blurted out: "It... it won't be interested in that girl, right?"

Luo Ren's face darkened for a moment, as if he didn't want to dwell on this point: "Then, we saw a small private courtyard, inside the bamboo curtain, a man and a woman hugged, and there was a dog in the shadow in the corner outside the door. .”

"At first, we guessed too much, and even wondered if that woman was not a woman, and was giving and receiving privately with other men. Now that I think about it, that man may be her husband, and that dog is not normal."

The word recognition dog is not guarding the house, but...peeping in the dark.

"The next thing is the fire."

Yan Hongsha cried out "ah".

She remembered the weird dream she had when she was about to send her uncle Yan Jiuxiao to be cremated.

In the dream, a woman with disheveled hair appeared in the incinerator, her face was distorted in pain, as if she was desperately trying to get out. In the dream, she rushed out of the monitoring room, trying to find Xinghua, but saw a bulging mass in Xinghua's pants, like a tail.

She stammered: "That field, that fire..."

A hint of unbearableness flashed across Luo Ren's face: "The fire shouldn't have been an accident."
