The rescued middle-aged woman, when she saw that it was a snow-white skeleton that caught her, pushed Gu Qiqi away, screamed and fainted.The next day, the first thing the woman did when she woke up was to find several Taoist priests and practice them in her house for three days, and the talisman paper with the words "Evil spirits disperse" was pasted all over her door.As for the man she rescued from the forest fire, the first thing he did after seeing her face clearly was to insert a dagger for self-defense into her chest.As a bone demon, Gu Qiqi had to show her original body before her power could work on humans.She is not an evil spirit, so the Taoist priest's talisman paper is still a piece of paper: she is just a skeleton, so a man's dagger can't hurt her in the slightest.She was just a little confused, she was just saving their lives, just showing her true face."
You're different from them" This was Gu Wuming's words out loud after beating her.Unlike walking on the sunny streets, Gu Qiqi visited in the crowd, these men and women, old and young, were nothing more than a layer of flesh and skin than themselves.Besides, after they die, aren't they also skeletons in the final analysis, they are obviously the same as themselves, why should they be so afraid of her, isn't they afraid of themselves.Humans are interesting and strange creatures, loving their bodies in every way and fearing the skeletons that support their flesh and blood.The deeper this contradiction is, the more Gu Qiqi is eager to be friends with a human being, she has no fixed residence, plus her brother's supervision, she doesn't have too many friends, of course, this "friend" refers to all kinds of monsters, such as the mushroom demon who lives in the mountains, the old scorpion spirit in the Sahara, the fashion flower demon in New York, etc., excluding any human being.Gu Wuming said that no human would be willing to be friends with the bone demon.Bone demons are different from other goblins, they can be beautiful and handsome and handsome people can change endlessly, we will never change the good skin that humans like, from the beginning to the end, we are just the most real skeleton.Gu Qiqi knew this.The real bone demon can't change its form from birth to death.As for the cousin who was killed by the monkey, no matter how high her cultivation is, she can only put on a layer of human skin and hastily pretend to be a human form, and she can't really transform into a human body.However, if you can't become a beauty, what's wrong with your current appearance, Mother said, she is the most beautiful girl in the bone demon clan.Therefore, Gu Qiqi still does not understand the fundamental reason why human beings reject him.Is it just a difference in aesthetics, but she still believes that there are always people who are different.Gu Wuming still disdains her "belief", just like he disdains her behavior of looking in the mirror, and says, I'll bet with you.But if there is a human being who is willing to be a true friend of you, the future life is up to you to decide, and I will not interfere in the slightest.That is, he actually sees what you look like.Gu Qiqi wants to use this gamble to completely break free from the tight spell of "obedience".However, this gamble has been going on for decades, and Gu Qiqi still has no signs of winning.So the humans she thought might be friends with her were all frightened by her appearance.She was a little discouraged, but still hopeful."
Other shops are closed, you still don't close" Gu Qiqi squatted at the door of this small shop selling goldfish, looked at the various colors of gold and jade swimming in the water tank, and then looked at the boy sitting on the old chair at the door of the store, and asked him curiously.It's half past twelve in the morning, and the goldfish shop is located deep in the alley outside the community, and the adjacent grocery store and printing shop have closed early, except for it, still under the light of two simple light bulbs, continuing to open.Gu Qiqi has noticed this goldfish shop, and the boy who guards the shop for several days, they always open very late, and she has never seen them close.It's just a goldfish shop, and it's not 711, so it's strange that it should be open all night."
We only closed when it was almost dawn.The shirt obviously didn't fit, and the blue jeans had been washed white, he fumbled sideways on the shelf next to him, took a small bag of fish food, and carefully shook it into the fish tank in front of him, "It's time for supper," he said to the fish with a smile on his face.He should be a blind man, right Gu Qiqi judged from the ink-like glasses on his white face, who would still wear a kind of blind Ah Bing-style glasses in the middle of the night, not to mention, he still used a groping way when he was that thing.Gu Qiqi couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it under his nose."
Please, I'm not blind, okay."
But Shang stopped the movement in his hand and pushed Gu Qiqi's hand away, "It's just that there is something wrong with my eyes, I can't see strong light, and my eyesight is almost there." ”Gu Qiqi coughed twice in embarrassment and muttered, "Then why do you touch it with your hands when you take the fish food." ”"I'm not touching it, it's been wet lately, and some of the fish have clumped together, so I'm going to break them up."
The boy glanced at him speechlessly, "It's you, wearing so much on a hot day and wearing a mask, it's easy to be taken as a strange aunt." ”"You" Gu Qiqi was almost choked to death by his words, but what they said was right.In order to talk to the boy in this goldfish shop, and in order not to scare the other party, he deliberately dressed up carefully tonight, high-necked sportswear, boots, gloves and wigs, a straw hat, and sunglasses and masks on his face, in short, he did not show his body at all."
If I hadn't listened to your voice, I would have thought it was a strange uncle."
The boy said very honestly."
I've got a cold, okay."
Gu Qiqi covered up with a black line on his face, "Besides, is there a strange uncle with such a good figure?"
"Haha, you are really arrogant." ”The boy laughed, showing his shell-like teeth, and his laughter was as crisp as a fish swimming happily in the water."
Who would buy a goldfish at this time and take it back for supper" Gu Qiqi deliberately sneered at this imp who was rude to her.He looked left and right, and both ends of the alley were drowned in a dark silence, not to mention people, not a single ghost.The mosquito killer lamp hanging in the corner of the wall crackled, which was the loudest movement at the moment."
You'd better go home, Blame Auntie."
The boy moved slightly, leaned out, turned his head to the end of the alley, his lips were not too bloody, and he whispered something.At this time, he was like a vendor waiting for customers, even if his eyes were completely obscured by sunglasses, his expression revealed enough anticipation."
My name is Gu Qiqi, it's not to blame Auntie, I'm still young" Gu Qiqi wanted to reveal his mask and reveal his true face to surprise this kid in the middle of the night.The bone demon also has a love for beauty, and hates being called an aunt instead of a sister, even though she is hundreds of years old."
Okay, blame sister.Are you sure you want to stay," he continued to look down the alley casually."
You react so fast" Gu Qiqi gritted his teeth and smiled, but in his heart he felt that this little ghost was a little interesting, "Hey, what do you call living nearby?"
"My name is Ah Sheng." ”He replied briskly, "I also have an English name, called ive, whatever you like." ”"ive's English name is really weird," Gu Qiqi muttered, but it was a good match for this little ghost who didn't look normal, a weird boy with sharp teeth and sharp mouth who guarded the goldfish shop in the middle of the night."
You don't see much normal, Miss Gu Qiqi."
He changed his name to him a few times in a few minutes, and seemed to be very happy with it, "It's almost 1 o'clock, you really don't go back to sleep, if a woman stays up too late, it's easy to get old." ”"I just had insomnia today."
Gu Qiqi deliberately laughed exaggeratedly, "So I decided to stay with you, a lonely little ghost." ”"Whatever you want."
Ah Sheng showed a good-looking smile and shook his head, "There are really more and more boring people now."
I don't sleep in the middle of the night and watch others sell goldfish. ”"It's not as boring as you, and you're bored in this store."
Gu Qiqi simply sat on the steps next to the fish tank and pointed to the alley, "I bet with you, if you can sell a goldfish tonight, I will fulfill your wish." ”"You're not Santa Claus."
He didn't look at her, and continued to look."
If you lose" Gu Qiqi deliberately put on a hooligan attitude, "You just obediently say to me, beautiful sister, I was wrong." ”"Well, you're going to stay for yourself."
He turned his head, and the inky black lenses shook Gu Qiqi's face as tight as a dumpling, and said; "I'm not going to lose."
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled; "Business is coming" In Gu Qiqi's ears, there was a slight sound, which was as imperceptible as the petals blown off by the wind falling on the soil.簌簌, 簌簌.The sound is getting closer.A dark shadow, less than half a man tall, drifted from the other end of the alley, shrouded in an earthy yellow mist beyond its vague outline.It wasn't until this thing floated in front of him that Gu Qiqi saw it clearly, this was actually a white-bearded old man who was so fat that he couldn't even see his neck and waist, and his height was less than the root of Gu Qiqi's thighs.t1706231537:
