The bus crossed the small stone bridge and stopped at Lao Li Inn in Lychee Bay.
Ye Feifan did not continue riding. He felt an inexplicable crisis, so he got off the bus early and planned to take the next bus back to Lao Zhang Guest House.
The last time I came to Lychee Bay was ten years ago. At that time, Lao Li Inn was not as prosperous as it is now... However, at this time, the inn was renovated and rebuilt into a hotel style, but its name remained unchanged.
There was a makeshift big red umbrella opposite the platform. Several people were gathered around and talking, and a faint "whirring" sound could be heard.
"Boss, are you selling this bamboo rat like this?"
"Chubby... too thin, not enough for a meal."
"You also have a field mouse, its meat is very plump?"
"Why is this weasel black?"
"How about cheaper?"
"The weasel is a bit evil, so don't do it casually. Xiao Zhang, you are preparing to die!"
…
Listening to everyone talking, Ye Feifan also walked over to watch the fun... The bus stop back to the Guest House was right across the street. He had to go there no matter what, so it didn't count as watching the fun.
Taking advantage of the gap, Ye Feifan saw some iron cages inside, with chubby bamboo rats gnawing bamboo pieces inside.
Bamboo rats are the hawker's main product. In addition, there are only five or six skinny field mice and a black sausage-like rat. That thing should be a weasel.
Looking at the sausage mouse, Ye Feifan felt a very familiar feeling, always feeling that he looked very much like Xiao Huang.
The vendor was an old man in his fifties or sixties. He was smoking a hookah at the moment. Ye Feifan looked at a few cages and asked: "Boss, how do you sell bamboo rats?"
The old man took a few puffs from the water pipe, followed Ye Feifan's gaze, hesitated for a while and said, "Eighty yuan each."
"Why is it so expensive?"
"That's wild. The domesticated one isn't worth the price. You are all big bosses, so you should be able to tell the difference between domesticated and wild ones."
The old man was very powerful, and he immediately made a big move, but what he said was indeed reasonable, and Ye Feifan also discovered that those bamboo rats were indeed wild.
"Where's the field mouse?" Ye Feifan continued to ask while looking at the other cages.
"This thing costs fifty yuan a piece."
"Where's the black weasel?"
"I'll give you a hundred bucks if you want."
"Even the cage?"
"One hundred and twenty dollars."
Ye Feifan "hesitated" for a moment, took out the banknotes and put them on the iron cage in front of the old man.
"I'll take it home and play with it."
The old man gave Ye Feifan some change, with a smile on his face, and reminded him casually: "Okay, be careful not to let it escape."
"knew."
In response, the bus Ye Feifan wanted to wait for arrived, and he stepped onto the bus with the cage in hand.
Five minutes after the bus drove away, several people came to the stall.
"Old man, where's the weasel?"
"sold."
"Where are the people?"
"Leave by bus."
…
Ye Feifan was sitting in the back seat, holding the cage and looking at the weasel inside. The other person's eyes were bright and he was looking at him intently.
"Xiao Huang?"
The familiar voice made the weasel nodded, but did not speak... He really shouldn't speak in such an occasion.
After taking a breath, Ye Feifan didn't ask any more questions and planned to go back to the guest house to ask about the past few years.
For some unknown reason, Ye Feifan felt an extremely evil aura on Xiao Huang's body, and also discovered that his black hair did not fade, while his yellow hair seemed to have lost the ability to change back.
…
In silence, the bus stopped in front of the guesthouse platform.
Ye Feifan got out of the car with the cage, quickly entered the alley, and returned to the rented room in Lao Zhang Guest House half an hour later.
After setting up a soundproof array, Ye Feifan went to the bathroom, filled the sink with hot water, and released Xiao Huang.
"Wash it well. I'll ask you something when you come out."
"I know." It was rare for Xiao Huang to say three words.
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Feifan took out a small notebook and planned to record the content provided by Xiao Huang later, maybe he would find something.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Huang ran out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and jumped on the coffee table.
Ye Feifan observed carefully. Xiao Huang's hair was dark and shiny, but it had a sinister aura.
"Pet: Weasel (Xiao Huang)."
"Race: Wong Tai Sin."
"Status: Compound Curse (∞)!"
"Strength: Transformation into Mortal Realm (??)."
"Talents: Disguise, Puppet Control, Divine Invitation, Yellow Skin Escape..."
"Introduction: A highly intelligent monster is a descendant of Wong Tai Sin. He is timid but knows how to repay kindness.
In times of crisis, it can release biochemical gases, causing negative attacks such as tears and paralysis on the target. It often controls the movement of corpses to complete the impossible. "
After simply checking Xiao Huang's basic information, Ye Feifan was also shocked.
In ten years, Xiao Huang's strength reached the level of "??"... It should be due to the suppression of the main mission... But the curse state behind it made him unable to understand.
"Where did you get this color?"
"Brother Feifan, you don't know that I am cursed. That guy, Lao Hei, designed to harm me!"
When mentioning this black outfit, Xiao Huang was extremely excited.
"what happened?"
"Lao Hei found a cemetery. We finally reached the tomb chamber, but there was only a black jar in the coffin... He deceived me with his acting skills. I accidentally knocked over the jar and was attacked by the curse inside..."
"How do you feel after being infected?"
"I can't feel it at ordinary times, but at night I feel cold all over my body. Lao Hei said that I have temporarily become a legendary ghost-attracting physique."
Hearing about the strange physique, Ye Feifan was stunned for a moment, but then he had an idea. Going to the Liu family with this kind of physique would probably yield unexpected gains - it would be easier to lead out some interesting things.
"How did you fall into the hands of this old man this time?"
The old man selling bamboo rats was just an ordinary person. Ye Feifan was very puzzled. How could Xiao Huang fall into his hands with his strength?
"That curse would make my body freeze at night. He picked me up after I was frozen. I wanted to run away at night, but Brother Feifan bought me back..."
After listening to Xiao Huang's narration, Ye Feifan felt that the next step of the plan could be carried out, so he began to give Xiao Huang a task: "I want to tell you something today. I will go to Liu's house tomorrow. I need you to bring the red man who was famous ten years ago. Bring out the woman's sustenance..."
Xiao Huang was very shocked to meet that woman, and the fear at first gradually resurfaced.
"Don't be afraid, he and I were childhood sweethearts. He won't make things difficult for you, and I will also guide you on how to get over it."
I don’t know how many live watches he has drawn in the lottery over the past ten years. His command is as simple and convenient as instructing Lao Hei before, which greatly reduces the probability of being discovered.
"I'll teach you the Earth Escape Technique. You can use Earth Escape to escape when necessary..."
