don't mess with me

Chapter 1 Loop, Trap

That day I was walking on the street without provoking anyone (why use it?), an old guy with a muddy face suddenly jumped up in front of me and shouted: "Is it a ferrule?" A bamboo ring, almost stuck in my face.

I was taken aback. I often heard that there were elderly gays around. The opening remarks were all kinds of weird. I thought I had encountered the best. The three bamboo rings in the old man’s hands were as dirty and oily as him. I don’t know what happened to them. , looks full of evil.

Later, I realized that I was thinking too much. There were all kinds of clay doll toys, cigarettes, small mirrors and small compacts at the old man's feet. It turned out to be a stall.

"No way!" This kind of thing has never left a good impression on me. Under the indoctrination of my parents who are diligent and thrifty, I have always regarded it as the same as a charlatan. Of course, when I was young, I didn't have so much in my heart. Intrigues, when I was 12 I balked at similar stalls, defended the owner vehemently when my parents made this argument, then my dad talked me out of it - he beat me a meal.

"Let's set it up, five yuan and eight circles, if you can't be poor, you can't be rich, and the set of cigarettes will return your money."

"No way!" I glanced at the things he put on the ground. They were dirty and broken. There was an exhibition of old objects born in the 80s. A few boxes of cigarettes were filled with dirt. They were probably built by the Kunming Cigarette Factory. I was afraid of getting smallpox after smoking the cultural relics unearthed at that time.

"Then these three circles will be given to you to complete?"

I still shook my head: "No, I don't like to take advantage of others."

The old man was in a hurry: "I don't even want to send you off?"

I said: "Three circles will make me addicted again. I will not play online games that are free for life, let alone you who have to buy some cards."

"After completing these three circles, leave!"

I said cautiously, "Then what are you planning?"

"I'm just trying to make some money, okay?"

"Then I'll leave after slapping my butt!"

The old man handed over the circle: "Go your way!"

"You don't just want to watch me slap your ass, do you?"

Old man: "..."

I carefully took over the three circles, and after a dozen rounds, there was still nothing eye-catching, so I threw out the three circles casually, two of which landed in the gap that could not be missed, and the last circle After bouncing it a few times, it landed on a rag doll.

The old man rushed up to pick up the doll, and said repeatedly: "I got hit, I got hit." He seemed more excited than me, and he stuffed the doll into my hand and said, "This is for you."

I wondered: "Is this also counted?"

"Calculate!"

I took a look at this rag doll, it was as big as a slap, the hair was made of more than a dozen low-quality wool, and the eyes and mouth were basically... that's it (-_-).The hands and feet are as long as they are, and they look like a starfish in their hands.This is the kind of gadget that a ramen shop will give away after eating two or more bowls of ramen at an event. It is crudely made and can only be hung on the key of the warehouse keeper.

Since it was for nothing, I didn't take it to heart, I put it in my pocket and then waved: "Thanks then."

"and many more!"

"What else?" My vigilance was unprecedentedly high, and I knew that this time had come to the juncture of trying to find out, whether it was a scam or a robbery, there should be a sign.I put one hand in my pocket pretending to be smart, but I actually held down my phone and wallet.

The old guy took out a pen and paper: "Sign a contract."

"Contract?" I was taken aback. Are all charlatans so formal now?I took the "contract" and looked at it, and saw that it said "Several Clauses on Receiving Heavenly Dolls", Party A's Liu Laoliu, and Party B's blank. (i.e. me), Party B has the obligation and responsibility to take good care of it. It must be carried with it every day, and it must not be damaged. Under any circumstances (including force majeure), it must unconditionally meet the requirements of Tianjie Doll, etc.

I wondered: "What's the situation?"

Liu Laoliu said: "I gave you the Tianjie doll, and you will be responsible for it. After signing this contract, it will be yours."

I frowned and said, "Are you crazy?"

Liu Laoliu wiped his face with black hands, and said sadly: "I have a girl who also ran away with someone. Parents can't stop this kind of thing. It's better to write a contract in black and white, so I can feel more at ease."

My heart softened, it turned out to be a crazy old man who was stimulated, I asked him: "How to sign?"

Liu Laoliu pressed the blank at the end of the contract and said, "Here, leave your name and mobile phone."

I picked up a pen and wrote down my name: Yan Tingqiang.When leaving the phone call, I changed the 0 in the last digit to 1.

Liu Laoliu pointed to the second page and said, "There are two more copies."

I shook my head and smiled wryly. I also signed my name and handed it to him. He found a dirty official seal from somewhere and stamped each of the two pages. He handed me one and said, "This is yours."

I stuffed my hand casually and said, "Can I go now?"

Liu Laoliu showed a relieved expression on his face, and said flickeringly, "Let's go!"

I walked on the road again, thinking about the scene just now, I still couldn’t laugh or cry, but thinking about the pressure that modern people are enduring, it’s not surprising that Liu Laoliu appeared.

At this moment, I heard a childish voice calling me: "Hey, Zhen Tingqiang!"

I looked back, but found no one around, but the voice kept saying, "Zhen Tingqiang, I'm calling you!"

I twisted my body back and forth, but still didn't find anyone, the voice said: "It's me, I'm in your pocket!"

I was taken aback, and hurriedly took out the cloth doll that came with me. Its expression was indifferent, but its voice was much more real: "Yes, it's me."

I grabbed its head and limbs and pinched it carefully, but I didn't find any equipment like a miniature recorder inside. I jumped up and down on the spot and said: "Who is it, stop making trouble!"

"It's me, where are you looking?"

I jumped up and said, "Come out quickly, or I will lose my face!"

He said impatiently in his voice: "What kind of face, how can you believe it?"

I was shocked in my heart, my voice was not loud, how did the other party hear it?That is to say, a group of people (assuming this group exists for the time being) to trick me, got a set of satellite equipment that supports instant sending and instant receiving?My palms became wet all of a sudden: Could it be that I followed the ghost?
The voice said: "There are no ghosts in this world... Oh, but I am not!"

I froze there for more than ten seconds, and suddenly called out with a wow-it can actually hear my heart!I will be full of fear, and I will throw the doll into the distance while holding the doll.

"How dare you! We signed the contract!"

I paused, held it in front of my eyes tremblingly, looked at it again, and asked with a crying sound: "Is it really you?"

The rag doll still kept its three-line face: "Of course it's me."

I want to cry but have no tears. I pinch its hand with my nails, like pinching a lump of snot. I can’t shake it or wipe it off. On the bustling streets of the 21st century, I’m like a child abandoned by the whole world. After crying loudly, he openly opened his pants to pee on the face of the damned earth...

My motto since I was a child is "Don't cause trouble when it's okay, and don't be afraid of trouble when it's troublesome." I have done the first half of the sentence perfectly so far, but today I found out that I can't do the second half-I am still quite afraid of trouble when there is trouble ...Especially in today's situation, I seem to have a big problem: a talking doll who can read people's hearts, a contract that looks like a trap, I would rather Liu Lao Liu is a gay old pervert And I just drank the drugged drink he handed me, so I could have just patted my ass and walked away afterwards, I'm afraid it's not that simple now.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tianjie Doll. As for who I am, you will gradually understand it in the future. Now it's your turn."

I lowered my head and said in a weak voice: "My name is Zhen Tingqiang, I am 26...seven or eight years old this year."
