The old lady held a small book in her hand with a checkout sheet on it.
She stood beside us, her whole body filled with an inexplicable chill.
"One...total...two...hundred...six...ten...eight, give...you...a...discount. A total of two...hundred...six!"
The old lady spoke slowly and in an extremely gloomy tone.
The most important thing is that the old lady's eyes are not focused on the bill in her hand.
Instead, she stared at the two girls sitting between us.
Chen Shuwen wore a blue veil to cover the pustules on her face. She was wearing a beige cheongsam. It looks both elegant and gentle.
Although Qian Qingqing said she was pregnant with a fetus, the fetus was only one and a half months old and was not yet pregnant. Qian Qingqing was wearing a blue suspender dress, with thin eyebrows and a delicate face. The appearance is simply extraordinary.
Both girls have their own beauty.
The old lady's eyes kept lingering on the faces of the two girls.
"Hey...hey...so...beautiful..."
It was such a weird tone again, and even the old lady's smile was as eerie as a horror movie.
Qian Qingqing was so frightened by the old lady that she immediately paid for it.
I mustered up the courage to ask this old lady directly.
“Boss, I’m really interested in the human-monkey you just told us about.
What exactly is the Man-Monkey? Can you tell us a little bit about that? "
The reason why I am not very afraid of the old lady in front of me. It's because of the way I look at her. Although she looks neither human nor ghost, there is no yin energy about her. Even the entire hot pot city is clean and the air is fresh.
This means that the old lady in front of me is indeed a person. It is a living thing, with flesh and blood. He is just an old man who is terminally ill and has only a short time to live.
Although this old lady's behavior is a bit strange, I always feel that maybe there must be a huge secret hidden in this small hot pot city.
And that secret may be related to the man-monkey mentioned by the old lady.
The old lady collected the money and told me slowly.
It probably means that when this old lady was very young, she lived in Xiaolong Village near Heishui City.
Xiaolong Village relies on deep mountains, and many strange and strange animals live on the mountains.
At that time, many educated youths from big cities lived in the village.
Those educated young people were somewhat spoiled, but all of them were handsome and beautiful. Among them was a pair of educated youths, the male was Sun Baoguo and the female was Wei Xia. Both of them come from big cities and are classmates. They even have feelings for each other.
At that time, the educated youth had just gone to the mountains and countryside. No one knows what the days ahead will bring. Most people feel that they will never be able to return home in this life. They can only stay in the countryside for the rest of their lives and live a miserable life with their backs to the sky and the earth in front of them.
The female educated youth named Wei Xia, her parents died when she was young, and she grew up with her grandmother. Because she went to the countryside, Wei Xia was far away from her hometown, and her grandmother had no one to take care of her.
One day, Wei Xia received a telegram from a big city. It was said that her grandmother was seriously ill and would die soon.
It may be because of some reasons. The leaders of the village did not allow Wei Xia to go home because she wanted to see her grandmother one last time. So he discussed with Sun Baoguo and planned to sneak over the back mountain and run back to the city privately.
So the two young men sneaked into the mountains and disappeared without a trace.
Two educated youths were lost in the village. I think it was a big deal back then.
The villagers spontaneously took torches and went to the mountains to look for people. Prepare to capture Wei Xia and Sun Baoguo.
But I never expected it. After the villagers entered the mountains, they did not find the two educated youths. But unexpectedly discovered a strange creature.
It was a man covered with white hair and about as tall as a man. And a female monkey who can speak human language.
The villagers have never seen such a monkey, which is half human and half ghost, and can speak human words. But he has a sharp mouth and fangs, and his face is truly terrifying.
But fortunately, that man-monkey's attack ability is not very strong. He can neither fly over the walls nor cannibalize and kill people.
So the villagers worked together and captured the man-monkey.
Originally, the villagers wanted to set fire to the humans and monkeys.
Later, an old man in the village said that this man-monkey was no ordinary beast. It is the product of the resentment of those who died unexpectedly. It's a kind of evil spirit.
It's just that the evil ghost transformed into a human monkey and has lost the ability to harm people. If they are killed, it will only arouse the resentment in the human and monkey bodies, and will instead cause anger and resentment. It would be better to release it into the mountains.
After the man-monkey was released by the people. The monkey was unwilling to leave the mountain village. She was able to speak human words and communicate with ordinary people.
It's just that everyone avoids it and regards it as a disaster star. When every household saw humans and monkeys, they closed their doors tightly.
The man-monkey couldn't find food, so he went to the villagers' houses to steal chickens and dogs. Eat a chicken today, kill a dog tomorrow. This made the people extremely bored when they saw this man-monkey.
But the last thing is unexpected. The human-monkey with white hair all over its body and a hideous face turned out to be a female monkey.
There is an old bachelor in his 40s in the village. His family is very poor and he will never find a wife.
The old bachelor actually tricked the monkey into his house and tied him up with a chain. Treat her as another kind of woman and live her life behind closed doors.
The old bachelor was in charge of the man-monkey's food and fed it face porridge and wild vegetable balls. The food the man-monkey ate was also delicious!
Later, there were even rumors. It is said that the monkey has a big belly and is pregnant.
But in the end, the monster who was neither human nor ghost seemed to be born into a little monster. The old bachelor looked at the remaining monsters of Man-Monkey in great pain. So he took a kitchen knife and chopped down the humans, monkeys and little monsters one after another.
It didn't take long. A raging fire broke out in the old bachelor's house for no apparent reason. The old bachelor was also burned to death at home.
Since then, the villagers have not encountered any disasters. But creatures like human monkeys seem to have disappeared from the world. No one ever saw or mentioned it again.
The old lady told us about the human-monkey life vividly. She also repeatedly told me that the man-monkey was real and she had seen it with her own eyes.
Finally, the old lady said something mysteriously.
"Humans...are not...humans, ghosts...are not...ghosts. People...hide...evil...hearts...become...ghosts. Ghosts...have...good...thoughts...not... ……aldult!"
When walking out of Jixiang Hotpot City.
In my mouth, I kept chanting the last words of the old lady.
"Humans are not human, and ghosts are not ghosts. People harbor evil thoughts and become ghosts, while ghosts harbor good thoughts and become humans."
What does this mean? I'm a little confused.
It's a pity that I came to Jixiang Hotpot City once today. Regarding the evil poison in Chen Shuwen, mother and daughter, Qian Qingqing, and the three of them, I couldn't find any clues!
