I could tell that the people calling me were Big Dog and High Buy.
My heart suddenly sank: It’s over, Gao Mai is here to find me, I can’t escape today.
I gritted my teeth and turned around, but was shocked by the sight in front of me.
Gao Mai and his six disciples were all standing five or six meters away from me covered in blood. However, Gao Mai had both of his hands chopped off, a half-foot-long gash was opened on his chest, and his body was covered in blood. It was dyed red.
There was a bloody hole in the big dog's forehead, and his face was covered in blood.
The big dog said: "Xiao Qi, you met a good person. That person didn't let you come back because he was afraid that you would die with us. Our master took away things that he shouldn't have taken, and our guy was raped. , none of us ran out."
I was so scared by Big Dog and the others that I was shaking all over. If he hadn't lied to me, wouldn't he be talking to me as a dead person?
The big dog said: "Xiao Qi, let's go. I hid some money in the tree hole behind the guy. Take it and go find a way out! If you can follow that person, then follow him!" If he can save you, it means he is a good person."
Gao Mai sneered and said: "What a good guy. How can there be any good people in this world? Didn't you see someone standing on his umbrella? Later, the umbrella will not hold up anymore and he will die."
I was so frightened that I quickly looked up inside the umbrella. When I moved my eyes upward, I seemed to see a few footprints on the umbrella, but when I looked carefully, there was nothing on it.
When I wanted to see the big dog again, there was only a dark dirt road left there, and the people just now didn't know where they were.
I was so frightened that my legs became weak, and I could only hold myself up from sitting on the ground.
I have heard people say before that after death, people can know many things that they did not know when they were alive. Did the big dog come here specifically to remind me to follow that person?
The yellow incense in my hand was about to burn out. The man had not come out after entering Tennoji Temple.
He told me that I could leave as soon as the incense was gone.
I figured that if I walked away with an umbrella, nothing would happen. Moreover, I don’t want to stay in this damn place for a moment longer.
But, that person saved me after all, how could I leave like this?
Something happened to him in Tennoji Temple, and I couldn't save him, but I could do my best by collecting his body.
I simply sat on the ground, propped the handle of my long umbrella on the ground, hugged the pole with both arms, and huddled under the umbrella all night.
It wasn't until dawn that the man walked out of Tennoji Temple. When he saw me, he felt a little strange: "Why haven't you left yet?"
I didn’t know what to say to him, so I could only say: “I’m waiting for you!”
The man smiled and said, "You're serious. Let's go!"
The man took the umbrella and was about to leave. I quickly took two steps forward and said, "Sir, I want to follow you."
When the man turned to look at me, I lowered my head: I was reckless. That gentleman looked like he had ability and status. How could he accept a thief to follow him?
"Thank you sir for saving me!" I bowed deeply to him, turned around and wanted to leave.
But the man stopped me and said, "Wait a minute, if we can meet three times, it means we are destined. From now on, you will follow me."
"This is the first time, and there will be two more times."
My eyes suddenly lit up: "Sir, what should I call you?"
"My surname is Ye!" Mr. Ye only said three words and left without looking back.
After I came out of Tennoji Temple, I searched all over the city to find Mr. Ye, but I went around half the city and couldn't find him. I had no place to stay, so I had to go back to my old boy.
By the time I got back, all the guys had been locked up. I was brought into the station by the patrolman who was stationed there, and I found out that our guys were just like the big dog said, they were locked up. After Gao Mai's hands were chopped off, he was tied to a tree and disemboweled.
Seven people died at once. It was a big deal anywhere. No matter whether the patrol wanted to take care of it or not, it had to be investigated.
The patrolman saw that he couldn't find anything out from me, so he let me go. As soon as I came out of the patrol room, I saw Mr. Ye walking past me holding a black umbrella.
"Mr. Ye, wait for me!" I ran forward after chasing Mr. Ye, but I couldn't catch up with Mr. Ye who was walking in front.
I watched Mr. Ye turn into the night market. When I caught up with him, all I saw was the bustling crowd. I couldn't find where Mr. Ye was?
Just when I was disappointed, I heard someone beside me saying, "Kid, are you looking for someone? I'll help you find someone!"
As soon as I turned around, I saw a woman wearing a bright red cheongsam with a pale face. She deliberately bent down and said, "Kid, come with me!"
That woman was very beautiful, but I felt scared no matter how I looked at her, especially when she was talking to me, there was a strange smell mixed with incense and candles floating around her body.
I've smelled that smell before. It's the smell that only comes when a person dies.
I was so frightened that I took a few steps back: "I won't go, I won't go..."
I wanted to run, but I was blocked by onlookers. I clearly heard someone saying: "Is this kid crazy? Why is he talking to himself there..."
The woman also walked up step by step: "Don't be afraid, aren't you looking for someone? I will take you to find someone. We can find someone much faster than patrolling..."
The more the woman came forward, the colder I felt all over my body. I was so frightened that I turned around and wanted to run out, but the onlookers hadn't seen enough of the excitement. How could they let me run away so easily? The few people standing in front The man was laughing and joking and pushed me back with his body.
I was staggered by those people and almost fell to the ground. At this time, the woman's hand also pressed on my shoulder. I felt my body lightened, and I vaguely saw the back of a person's head in front of me.
Isn't that person myself?
Before I could shout, I felt another warm hand on my shoulder. When I looked up, Mr. Ye holding a black umbrella was standing in front of me. A hand pressed on my shoulder.
The woman just now ran away to nowhere. Mr. Ye patted me on the top of my head, and I felt as if cold air was coming out of the bones in my body.
Mr. Ye didn't say a word, but pushed away the crowd and walked out of the night market under his umbrella. I wanted to chase him, but I couldn't muster any strength, so I just watched him disappear into the crowd.
When I wanted to cry, Mr. Ye's voice came to my ears: "This is the second time I see you and the second time I save you."
"If I can see you a third time and save you a third time, I will accept you as my disciple."
Mr. Ye said that the third time I met him, he would accept me as his disciple. But after we said goodbye at the night market, I haven't seen Mr. Ye for many years, and I don't know where he went.
After that, I never returned to my hometown. I didn’t want Mr. Ye to accept a thief as his apprentice, so I found a job killing fish in a restaurant, supporting myself while waiting for Mr. Ye.
At that time, I always had a feeling that I could still see Mr. Ye.
