Three days ago, Shanghai.
At midnight at Shanghai Railway Station, a train from Guizhou to Shanghai finally arrived, and a dark-skinned young man with long hair and braids in a hard-seat carriage dressed in typical southern Qiannan costumes poured out of the train station with a large number of people carrying snakeskin bags.
After leaving the train station, the long-haired young man looked around blankly, and the streets of Shanghai at midnight were still as bustling as during the day, especially around the train station, where a large number of passengers waiting for the train shrank in all corners and fell asleep.
The long-haired young man pulled a crumpled note out of his pocket, reached out and flagged down a taxi waiting in the waiting area of the station, and told the driver in extremely broken Mandarin that he was going to Sheshan in Shanghai.
In the taxi, the long-haired young man leaned against the window and looked at Shanghai outside the car, and he didn't seem to be tired at all, but looked very excited.
"Young man, it's the first time Nong has come to Shanghai, wow?"
The taxi driver suddenly turned his head and asked.
The long-haired young man still looked out of the car and snorted.
"Hey, at this time, I still came to Shanghai, the house is expensive and the consumption is high, and living here is not necessarily easier than other places, in recent years, the number of immigrants to Shanghai has been much less than before, and most of them have gone to other places to seek a way to survive."
"I'm not here to work" "Oh?
Tourism?
You don't look like you."
"My third uncle had an accident here, I'll come and take a look" "Oh, an accident?
Hey, then look at the people, if you really can't just take it home, it will cost you your life to see a doctor in Shanghai," the driver reminded with emotion.
"He's dead," said the young man indifferently.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry," the driver smiled awkwardly and asked, "Died unexpectedly?"
Did you call the police, the police in Shanghai are still relatively good, unlike the police in other places who don't work for food."
The long-haired young man shook his head and said, "If you don't call the police, the police won't care······ It's useless."
The driver was surprised and asked, "Really?"
What happened to the police?
” "Don't need the police, I'll figure it out myself" The long-haired young man leaning on the window suddenly smiled weirdly, and then said: "This kind of thing, I'm afraid that the police will be scared" Half an hour later, the taxi stopped near Sheshan, the long-haired young man walked slowly into Sheshan with a snakeskin bag on his back, the taxi driver looked at his back and suddenly shivered, Shanghai was already very hot this season, but the driver found that the person got off The car in the back felt unusually cold.
Sheshan Resort is still a barren place, and the resort at night is even more desolate mixed with a trace of gloomy atmosphere, and the young man with a snakeskin bag on his back entered Sheshan Resort alone and walked into the four-storey unfinished building.
Entering the unfinished building, he drove straight to the basement, and when he reached the entrance, he frowned and sniffed his nose.
"Is it the smell of corpse oil, burned clean?
Then it's not that someone robbed money halfway, what kind of enemy did the third uncle recruit to make people destroy their form and spirit, and even their souls disappeared, and it wasn't for corpse oil" "Could it be that he was discovered when he was refining corpse oil?"
The young man walked into the ruins of the basement, and after entering it, he picked up a few jars from the ground that had once contained corpse oil, put them in front of his nose and smelled them: "The third uncle's hard work for more than two years has all been in vain" The young man took out a small incense burner with a rather peculiar shape from the snakeskin bag and placed it on the ground, inserted a long incense stick, lit it, and a stream of green smoke slowly came out, floating straight into the air, and he put the third uncle's broken life card on the ground and unscrewed a thumb-sized one The vial, after unscrewing the bottle, an extremely unpleasant stench came from inside.
A few drops of golden grease dripped on the life card, and then quickly integrated into the life card and then disappeared, the long-haired young man sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands were folded, his index finger was bent, and the two little fingers were entwined together, and the middle finger slowly came to Changxiang, slowly guiding the green that came out of Changxiang Smoke surrounded several shattered life cards.
After the green smoke wrapped the life cards, it slowly seeped into it, and then the life cards suddenly burned, and a bad smell similar to that in the vial suddenly permeated the basement, and the young man seemed to enjoy the smell very much, closing his eyes and gulping hard The mouth sniffed, very intoxicated.
After a moment or three, the life card made of pure jade was burned cleanly, leaving only a small trace of pale green ash.
Nearly an hour passed, and when the long incense in the small incense burner was burned, the stench gradually dissipated into the air, and the long-haired young man simply lay down on the ground and slept on the ground after packing up his things.
The next morning, the long-haired young man woke up and took out a matchbox-sized box from the snakeskin bag, which actually made a buzzing sound after being exposed to the sun, and was still trembling slightly in the young man's hand, and after opening the box, a small yellowish insect flew came out, flapping his wings and flying up and down around the young man, and finally stopped in the palm of his hand.
He pinched a handful of the burning ash of the jade plaque on the ground and brought it to the insect's mouth, and the little insect opened its mouth and began to devour it after sniffing it.
When a small handful of jade ashes was eaten by it, it flew up from the young man's palm again, and slowly flew towards the outside of the resort.
The young man followed the insect all the way down the mountain, and then walked for more than twenty minutes to the outside of the Sheshan villa area, the insect waved its wings and entered the villa, the young man looked at the security guard at the gate and went around the distance to climb over the wall, and the insect that entered before actually automatically came over, and then led him the way, and flew until Zhao Fangsheng's house did not stop.
"Original······ The corpse of the third uncle who finally refined the corpse oil came from here."
At half past eight in the morning, Zhao Fangsheng walked out of the house with a briefcase, Li Lingge followed behind him with a smile and said softly: "Come back early in the afternoon and take me to have a prenatal checkup."
"Well, I'll rush back to pick you up and take you to the hospital after taking care of the company's affairs" Zhao Fangsheng rubbed his hand on his wife's stomach and smiled: "Wait for Dad to come back with peace of mind, and then take you and Mom to have a check-up" After two months, since Li Lingge became pregnant again after sending the two children of the Zhao family to reincarnation, Zhao Fangsheng and his wife immediately enshrined Xiang Que as a celestial, but unfortunately since they parted two months ago, they have never met Xiang Que again.
Zhao Fangsheng waited for his wife to turn around and go back to the house, and was about to get in the car and leave the house, when he suddenly found a young man with long hair and strange clothes standing outside the villa, looking at him with a faint smile.
