I lit a cigarette, sat on the edge of the bed and slowly fell into deep thought.
In the past twenty years or so, it can be said that I have experienced life and death several times. Even when I was born, I was destined to die young.
But I still survived, and I still live to this day.
You can't end up capsizing in the gutter and fall into the hands of such an unjust ghost, right?
If this is the case, it would be a bit too dramatic.
After thinking about it, I still feel that I can't just wait for death. If there is no other way, then I will go to Wolong Ridge tomorrow to see if Mr. Qiao has any way to break this curse.
After making up my mind, I lit up my cigarette and went to bed.
But in this case, it is impossible to sleep. After all, his life is almost gone, who is still in the mood to sleep?
Although I am quite open-minded about life and death, I also understand that life is hard-won, so it is inevitable to cherish life.
I just lay upright on the bed, staring at the ceiling above my head in the dark with my eyes wide open.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a slight commotion next to my shoulder. I turned around and saw that the snake had crawled onto the bed, with a human face on its head, and reached towards my neck. .
Although I knew it was Su Manman, I was still startled and subconsciously reached out to push her out.
"oops......"
The snake suddenly fell under the bed, screamed, and then transformed into a human form and climbed up from under the bed.
"What are you doing?"
I saw Su Manman standing in front of the bed holding her forehead and asked her quickly.
"I want to sleep on the bed."
Su Manman said and pointed to the position next to me.
"no."
I decisively rejected her request.
If I let her sleep on the bed, can she still sleep well?
I will never forget how she attacked me when we were in Huilong Town.
"Then you can't keep me on the ground? It's too inhumane."
Su Manman pouted and said unhappily.
"You're not human."
I said unmoved.
"But am I now?"
Su Manman pointed at himself as he spoke, "Look at how I don't look like a human being?"
"Then you go and sleep next door. The room next door is empty."
I said as I turned over and ignored her.
Su Manman stood in front of the bed for a while, and finally had no choice but to run to the coffin quietly.
That night, I barely blinked and stayed awake all night.
The next morning, when I was washing up, I suddenly noticed in the mirror that spots had begun to appear on my neck. They looked like corpse spots, and they were already showing signs of festering.
Although I didn't feel itching or pain, ulcers began to appear on my body, which meant that the curse had begun to take effect.
I didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so I hurried to Wolong Ridge.
After coming here, I didn't go directly to Master Qiao's house. Instead, I went to Chen's house to find Chen Yunqi.
After all, I have no friendship with Fifth Master Qiao. On the contrary, he is kind to me and always asks others for help. I feel embarrassed, so I simply drag Chen Yunqi along.
But when I told Chen Yunqi that he should accompany me to find Mr. Qiao, he suddenly became very embarrassed.
"It might be a little difficult to find him now."
Chen Yunqi frowned as he spoke, and then asked me, "What are you looking for, Fifth Master Qiao? Is something going on?"
"I have something very important to ask him for."
I nodded, pondered for a moment and said.
"What happened? Fifth Master Qiao is no longer here. He died last month."
Chen Yunqi frowned and said.
"died?"
As soon as I heard this, my whole body felt like I was struck by lightning.
This is not entirely because I suddenly don’t know who to find to help me break the curse. The main reason is that Mr. Qiao saved my life back then. He has been dead for a month, and I don’t know anything about it. Know.
"What's going on? Are you in big trouble again?"
Chen Yunqi looked at my expression and immediately guessed something.
"It's not a big problem, I can handle it."
I shook my head and forced a smile.
It's better not to tell Chen Yun about this kind of thing. Anyway, he can't help much, it will only make him worry.
It's really life and death.
When I heard the news of Mr. Qiao's death, I felt more open-minded.
Everyone will die sooner or later anyway, so what difference does it make if he dies early or dies later? It’s all just a walk in this world.
I asked Chen Yunqi to take me to Lord Qiao's grave to pay homage, and then returned directly to Yong'an County.
Although I have looked away a lot, in the final analysis, I still don’t want to die at such a young age, so I still have to think of other ways.
But I went through all the people I knew in this industry in my mind, and I couldn't find an expert who was good at breaking curses, let alone this kind of ghost curse.
This trip to Wolong Ridge was in vain. One day passed just like that.
The ulcer on my neck has now spread to my chin and back. Judging from this speed, in three days, the ulcer will be enough to cover my whole body. At that time, I will really be exhausted.
At this time, I had to think about how to arrange the next things if the curse really couldn't be broken.
My parents have the money I left, which should be enough for them to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
As for Chen Ling, I think my parents can definitely treat her well.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little sad, as if I was already arranging my own funeral arrangements.
In fact, it's almost the same. If this curse really can't be broken, I really don't have much time.
Since you have to be prepared on both sides, prepare everything that needs to be prepared.
I returned home and picked up half of the Xuanmen secrets, and then went directly to the Feng Shui shop in the old city.
It was already dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the big green tree on the old street in front of the shop. This old tree, which had existed for unknown years, seemed to have entered the dusk stage.
I entered the shop and found that Liu Yuheng was the only one in the shop, so I handed him half of the Xuanmen secrets directly.
Then I left without saying anything.
When I woke up the next morning, the ulcers on my body had spread to my chest and entire back, and traces of ulcers began to appear on my face as well.
This made me feel inexplicably bad, but I tried my best to maintain my mentality and not let myself collapse.
However, the shadow of death has already hung over my head, including my body, which also began to emit the smell of rotting corpses that only appears on dead people.
