"Master Zhong Kui told me. I saw that you weren't back for so long, so I ran over to the ancestral hall to ask him about it. He said that this is your fate and that no one can help you. I also said that you have to take care of yourself over there.

My mother hung up very quickly. Maybe there was something on, so she was in a hurry to hang up, but somehow, I had a bad feeling in my heart, because my mother was probably the saddest after I left, but she didn't want to say another word to me.

I hung up the phone and went to take care of the shop. I thought that with Zhong Kui's protection, nothing would happen to my mother.

When I first arrived at Mu Yun Town, I really wasn't used to it. The environment here was very bad, the shop hadn't opened for long, so the business wasn't flourishing. Because I didn't know anyone, who would come to your old flower shop to prepare things?

But to be honest, the house I rented wasn't too far away from the storefront. There really was someone who was interested in me.

On my first day of business, I met a young girl in her twenties. She was the kind that just happened to pass by. I took a glance at her and thought that such a young girl wouldn't come to my store to book this kind of item, right? But who would have thought that she would just walk in!

Surprised, I came out and said, "Little girl, what do you want to book here?"

The little girl was wearing a white sweater, a short gray skirt with black socks, and two tall ponytails that parted to the left and right. She looked so young that I couldn't help but sigh at my age.

She kept looking at all the wreaths and things in my shop, but she wouldn't answer my questions.

And I said, "Little girl! Aren't you cold in this cold weather? I can't afford heating here! "

When she heard me say this, she immediately came back to her senses and stared at me again. Then she blinked. Her eyelashes were very long. From a distance, her eyes looked dark and her skin was snow-white.

"I'm just reminding you."

"Oh?" From the sound of your accent, you're not from here! It just so happens that I am not a local either. Why don't we become friends! "

What logic? Girls are so open these days? I don't even know him yet!

"Little lady, I'm talking …" I was interrupted by her before I could finish.

"Don't call me little lady. Although I look much younger than you, but I also have a name!" She continued to blink her large, watery eyes.

When I heard this, I got angry. Although I was already in my early thirties and it wasn't easy for me to get married yet I ran away from the marriage, there was no need to brag about hurting others in front of others! Were all the girls in the North so straight?

"I don't even know you, why would I want to be friends with you?" "No," I said.

"Just because you don't know me, you have to know me. Let me tell you, I have been observing you for a long time! You're the man who moved to our house four days ago. He looks like he's got a pretty good appearance, but I didn't expect him to be in this line of work. Do you know a lot about this? Or were you a Taoist before? Mage? "Or …"

"Enough ah, if you don't want to buy then just leave, don't stop me from doing business, this is a girl's house, don't run around! Be careful not to get caught by bad people. " Seeing that she didn't give me any face when she said those words, I couldn't help but to yell at her, but she continued pestering me like a dog skin plaster. Even until 8 o'clock at night, she was still pestering me at the store.

We stayed like this until she finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Hey! What's your name and where did you come from? Why did he start doing this at such a young age? "It can't be that you really are …"

I slanted my eyes at her. "First, I'm not called 'Ai'! "Second, I don't need to tell you where my family matters are. You only need to know that I'm not from here. Third, didn't you just say that I'm much older than you? How did I suddenly become so young? Did you manage to investigate the household registration?"

I kept looking at my phone, ignoring her, and she didn't answer.

After a few more minutes, she finally stood up. I thought that she was finally going to leave, but I didn't expect that she would actually take out something!

He saw her take out a piece of paper and mutter something like "If I don't go find him tonight, I won't be able to stay here any longer". I was confused, so I asked: "Little girl, you should hurry up and leave. If you want to buy something, I'll book it anytime. Plus, you're my neighbor, so there's a discount. But I guess you don't need it, so don't keep me in suspense!"

She looked at me, then sat down again.

So they threw me over to the orphanage, and for various reasons left the orphanage. The government paid me to find me a decent job, and now that I'm wandering here, I met with some strange incidents a few days ago, which happened to coincide with the words of the mage whose parents gave me the word eight. I panicked, until I met you a few days ago, and heard the security guard at the door say that you had a lot of experience in filling in the documents you wrote, and that you were selling these things, so I wanted to ask you about some things.

Even after she said that, I started to doubt if she was a liar. Could she be trying to trick me into giving her some living expenses or something? But seeing how pitiful she looked, I couldn't help but listen to her continue.

"What did you encounter?" "So scary?" I asked.

"The eight-character shaman said that this year at the age of 23, I will commit a great offense, and then there will be a great calamity. If I can't withstand it, then it will be over. If I can't, then it will be over …" The main thing is that I kept coming across something unclean a few nights ago … "

Hehe, that's getting more and more mysterious! Even though I've seen a lot of dirty stuff, I don't know what she's talking about.

So she told me everything. It turned out that after she had finished showering at night, she went to sleep. Suddenly, she felt something pressing under her bed. She lifted it up to check, but it was nothing. She then laid down, covered herself with the blanket and felt that someone was hiding inside her blanket, but when she woke up, she couldn't find anything! After a few days of this, she finally couldn't help herself and went to the hospital for consultation. The doctor only said that due to the misfortune of her childhood, she was feeling depressed.

To the hospital! Don't psychiatrists all say that! Ridiculous!

"You never saw it. Why do you say it was those dirty things?"

"Because I heard from the surrounding elders that most of these people have offended some little imps that they shouldn't have."

I couldn't help but laugh, but even when she looked at me she didn't look like she was lying. "Then are you so sure I can help you? What's the paper in your hand? "

"You guys in this line of work, more or less know something! I got this paper from a Mage. She said that as long as I go to the place where Zhong Kui is worshipped to find a talisman on it, I will be safe. I will also have to kowtow to the Zhong Kui statue three times. "

Haha, there's actually such a mage, what era is he in for him to be so ignorant? Then wouldn't it be incredible if I were the successor to Lord Zhong Kui? At least, I was willing to help her, so when I heard her words, I said to her, "My name is Zhong Xin, Zhong Kui's bell, and my heart's heart, I'm not a godly person, but I still know a little about it. Bring me to your house and we'll talk about it after we've taken a look at the situation."

"Are you really a mage?"

"When did I say I was a mage?" I just wanted to say that I'll help you … "

"Grandmaster Zhong Xin, there's no need to speak any further. I'll bring you to my house to have a look."

This little girl is in a hurry, her words really are …

She took me to her door, and when I opened it, there was a stench.

"What smell is this!?"

But she looked at me quizzically.

"Don't you smell anything?" I asked.

"No, it doesn't smell anything!"

"Impossible, you smell it, can't you smell it? Is there something wrong with your nose? "

"Really!" "Could it be!" A lie.

"What are you trying to say!" I looked at her impatiently. "I have something to do tomorrow! It's night time, hurry up! "

"You're still saying that you're not a mage? You can even smell things that we can't smell!" Why are you being so modest! "

I felt very helpless. Perhaps I had inherited some of Lord Zhong Kui's good traditions, my nose seemed to be much brighter than the ones I spoke of.

As we walked along, I asked her why she had to call me by false, such a strange girl's name.

She replied that she had been sent to a nunnery, where the Grand Preceptor had given her the title of "False Word" for a period of time, but then, because she was an unwanted woman and had done some other things, she had been pushed out by the bad guys and returned to the orphanage in desperation, then caught up with the state policy, gave her work to the public, and didn't have to pay for it herself, so it was like this.

As she spoke, I looked at some of the things on her desk that had been used before and felt sorry for her.

The tables were littered with "books," and I was told that she had been punished in the nunnery for copying them, that she had brought her out with her when she was evicted, and that she had kept them ever since she returned to the orphanage.

To tell the truth, she had heard strange noises several nights before, and sometimes she slept so deeply that it was hard to tell if she was dreaming or had actually run into them. Every time night came around, she would fall asleep, but she could still hear the faint sounds of footsteps. The sounds were very soft, and a few nights ago, she felt as if someone was sleeping inside the blanket. However, every time she woke up, she couldn't find anything.
