"Shi Tou, don't be silly. These fortune-tellers say that to everyone they see.”Zhao Xiaoshan advised.
But at this moment, I couldn't listen to Zhao Xiaoshan's words at all. I begged the white-bearded old man again," Grandpa, I know you must have seen something. Please help me!”
" Life has its moments, and there's no time to force it. Young man, your so-called trouble is actually…"
The white-bearded old man was originally shaking his head and spouting nonsense. When he raised his head, he suddenly stopped and his eyes finally landed on my neck.
"Young man, why is this stone with you?”
Another one who was interested in stones!
Ever since I could remember, I realized that everyone who had seen me would pay far more attention to the stone than me. No matter who it was, they would ask me what was going on with your stone.
To these people, I would usually spend a minute or two explaining things like how it saved my life. However, most people would just laugh it off and not believe me. I didn't really care about this either. After all, even I didn't believe it myself.
This time, I was prepared to say the same words that I had repeated no less than a hundred times, but I was stopped by Zhao Yishan.
"You old man, your words are really interesting. What do you mean by why would the stone be with him? Old man, let me tell you, there are people like you who play tricks everywhere on the streets. If you're not willing to help, we'll find someone else!”
Zhao Yishan said as he pulled my arm." Shi Tou, let's go. Stop talking nonsense with this lunatic.”
Unexpectedly, just as we were about to leave, the white-bearded old man said," Sigh, seeing that you're so sincere, I'll make an exception and help you.”
Zhao Yishan scoffed at this and said mockingly," You're making an exception and saying it so reluctantly. Old man, you're probably secretly happy, right?”
"Young man, don't joke with me anymore.”
As the white-bearded old man spoke, he rummaged through his patched shirt and took out a dirty yellow talisman.
"This is an Exorcism Talisman. It is specially used to deal with demons and evil spirits.”
"Thank you, grandpa!"
I said and was about to reach out to take it, but the old man retracted his hand.
"Don't thank me yet, young man. Let me tell you the ugly truth first. The Evil you provoked is not an ordinary thing. If you cause any big trouble in the future, don't blame me again.”
"Grandpa, don't worry. I definitely won't blame you.”
"Very well. From now on, this exorcism talisman is yours.”
I took the talisman and felt that it was greasy and uncomfortable. However, in order to get rid of the trouble of the demons and evil spirits, I resolutely put it into my pocket.
"Grandpa, I won't disturb you anymore.”
"Wait!"
Just as I took a step forward, I heard the white-bearded old man call out to me again.
"Grandpa, what else can I do for you?”
"I haven't given you this yet!"
The white-bearded old man twirled his fingers as he spoke.
"This is?"
Just as I was about to ask, Zhao Xiaoshan said impatiently," Aiya, it means that they want money. Shi Tou, do you think they would let you go if they didn't cheat you of some money?”
"You still want money…"
When I heard that I still needed money, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. I only had less than ten yuan on me.
Ever since I came to the county town to study, my biggest feeling was that I was short of money. It was different from my hometown in the countryside. I had to spend money to eat, drink, and use the toilet here. If I hadn't been thrifty, I would have no money left on me now. At this moment, I actually regretted rejecting Liu Dazhuang's 200 yuan.
"Grandpa, this is all I have…I'll give it all to you…"
I said as I took out a few crumpled dollars from my pocket.
"Not enough."
The white-bearded old man only took a glance and shook his head." This exorcism talisman costs at least 1,000 yuan. I'll give you a discount and charge you 100 yuan."”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoshan, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't help but flare up." What? A hundred yuan for a discount? Old liar, why don't you rob a bank?”
Then, he pulled my arm and said," Shi Tou, return the paper to him. Let's go."”
"Xiao Shan, can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back in the future.”
"F * ck…"
Zhao Xiaoshan was helpless. He smiled bitterly and said," Wang Shitou, oh Wang Shitou, he's a liar. Can't you tell that it's so obvious?”
"Xiao Shan, I beg you, please help me.”
"Alright, alright. I really can't stand you anymore. I'll see if I have enough money.”
Zhao Xiaoshan sighed. He took out his wallet and rummaged through it. He found a hundred-yuan bill and threw it in front of the white-bearded old man." Damn it, selling a piece of paper for a hundred yuan? You're even blacker than my dad!"”
On the way, Zhao Xiaoshan asked me seriously," Shi Tou, what kind of trouble did you encounter?”
I told him about the sandals. Zhao Xiaoshan was stunned." You've been watching too many horror movies, haven't you?”
"I knew you wouldn't believe me.”
"Okay, okay, I believe you. What do you plan to do now? Fight with that female ghost?"
"Hit your sister. She's a female ghost. You can't hit her.”As I spoke, I took out the yellow talisman from my pocket." I wonder if this thing is useful.”
Zhao Xiaoshan pursed his lips." What's the use? Only a fool like you would believe it."”
"I really have no choice. That female ghost will hide in a pair of sandals every time. I throw it away and come back again.”
"Isn't that simple? Use fire! Burn them to ashes and everything will be over!"
"Fire…"
I had to admit that this was indeed a good idea. However, due to my fear of fire, I hesitated.
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything. You're afraid of fire.”Zhao Xiaoshan seemed to have guessed my thoughts and deliberately retreated.
"Who's afraid? Burn it!"
I wasn't simply being rash when I said this. After all, compared to the fear of fire, I was more afraid of female ghosts. According to my own understanding, ghosts should be afraid of fire.
"Isn't it just burning a broken shoe? Why are you so agitated?”Zhao Xiaoshan glanced at me.
"I…What do you care? Let's go to the Botanic Garden.”
"What?"
"Burn my shoes!"
The Botanic Garden was a park in the county town for leisure and entertainment. There was a man-made lake and a 100-meter-tall hill. There was a pavilion at the top of the hill, and behind the hill was a large piece of wasteland. On weekends, many people would come here to barbecue and camp.
" You're not really going to burn it, are you? I'm just saying…" After twenty minutes, we arrived behind the rockery. Zhao Xiaoshan asked while panting heavily.
"Burn, you must burn!"
As I said that, I found a pile of firewood on the ground. It was currently dusk, and a large patch of burning clouds appeared in the western sky. The red was very spectacular, just like the fire that was gradually burning in the depths of my heart!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:44PM
