Chapter 516 Dressing

I had other plans in my mind, pretending not to notice Tofu's gaze, pretending to be surprised: "You want to go to Shenzhen with us?"

Harichagai said: "Yes, I grew up here. Although there is nothing lacking in this place, but the man's ambition is everywhere, he still wants to see more of the world. I decided to go to the big city to see and see. How about it, your store Are you still recruiting people? I can be your buddy, with food and lodging included, and a monthly salary of [-]."

Tofu said: "Go and rob!"

Harichagai shrugged and said: "I can go alone, but I just want to find a companion. If you don't want to, forget it. Pay back the money first, and you still owe me 60."

I knew in my heart that this kid wanted to follow us, definitely not for the reason he said.Could it be that there is something in us for him?Otherwise, why is he following us?This kid is not a good guy who can be dismissed with a few words. I knew that rejection would not be of much use, and I also wanted to make friends with him, so I didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

My guess is obviously good, this kid has even booked his own flight ticket, obviously he will not change his mind because of our answer.I smiled and didn't say much, just waited for his fox tail to be exposed, and then the three of them went to the gas field by car and boarded the flight to Shenzhen.

We didn’t return to Shenzhen until the evening of that day. The trip didn’t take long, less than a week before and after. Cyclops received a call from us early, saying that in order to clean up the new friends, he was treating us today.Tofu clapped his hands and applauded, saying that you are an iron rooster, you are finally going to pluck your hair, see if I don't eat you tonight, go to Qixing Building.

In the end we didn’t go to Qixing Building, the Cyclops caught us to the barbecue stall outside…

Dumbfounded, Tofu pointed at me and said, "He used to sell barbecue, and I'm tired of eating it, so why don't you still eat it?"

Cyclops said: "These days, you need to be down-to-earth. What about Qixinglou, delicacies from mountains and seas, there is nothing to eat. BBQ is good. Don't be too polite, just let your stomach eat."

Tofu is pitiful: "I still want to eat Qixinglou."

Cyclops laughed straight, and said to Tofu, the owner of Qixing Building is said to be a single woman with a strong career. If you marry her, you can eat it every day in the future. The question is, can you do it?Tofu was scared when he heard it, so he ate the barbecue obediently, and now he relaxed and didn't talk about those troublesome things. The four of them ate and drank while talking nonsense.

It was only after this talk that I discovered that although Harichagai was young, he had a wide range of knowledge and knowledge. When he was drunk, he opened up the chatterbox and talked about many weird things among shamans. Leading the topic, set out some of his life experience, after hearing it, I just feel very amazing.

According to him, he was an orphan since he was a child, probably abandoned by his biological parents, but was picked up by a she-wolf on the grassland to raise him.There were very few wolves back then, so they were discovered not long after. Someone took him out of the wolf den, and his adoptive parents felt that they were destined for him at a glance, so they adopted him back, and the she wolf, But he was beaten to death by other greedy people.The adoptive father sighed, wild beasts educated people, out of nature, they loved their cubs without expecting anything in return, but in the end they ended up like this, people are greedy, it is really terrible.But the female wolf was dead, and the adoptive parents had no choice but to take two wolf fangs from the wild wolf as a souvenir, which were the fangs on Harichagai's necklace.

Today, shamanism has been declining day by day, and Hari Chagai's adoptive father is a shaman wizard, who has a lot of skills, but has no place to use them.The adoptive father said to Harichagai: "The age is different. Some things may be gradually submerged in history, but when it is still alive, someone must remember it." Therefore, Hairichagai became his father's The successor has become a new generation of shaman.

Harichagai's family background is average, and he lives the life of ordinary people on weekdays, but as the saying goes, times make heroes. When he was 17 years old, a strange thing happened in a market not far away.

That place is a gathering place for buyers and sellers, mostly tourists. There are no houses, and they all gather in tents, because the water source is particularly important.There was an old loess well in that place. The businessmen in the market felt that the mouth of the well was too old and might collapse one day, so they paid for repairs, but it didn't cost much.

Unexpectedly, when the workers were working, they suddenly saw white bubbles bubbling up and down the well, like a fountain, and then a black shadow flashed in the well water, like a snake, a dragon, and an elongated person, which looked very strange. fear.

Everyone was horrified, and the old well stopped working. After the shutdown, no one went there to fetch water.

Harichagai would also go to the market to do some small business on weekdays. Hearing about this, he thought of Jing Ling.Shamanism believes that all things have spirits, but spirits can also be divided into big and small. For example, eagles and wolves are the symbols of gods, and wells are places where people drink water.Jing Ling is a symbol of auspiciousness, but it is taboo to change it, because once it is changed, it is equivalent to destroying Jing Ling's body, similar to how Tofu and I destroy those petrified corpses.

But at this time, Jing Ling turned from auspicious to vicious, and there was no peace around.Sure enough, after this incident happened, although nothing major happened, the people around were more or less unlucky. It seemed that even the vegetation growing around was in a bad state, and the surrounding merchants were panicked for a while. .

Harichagai felt that Jing Ling had affected his business, so he took the guy to clean it up. The process here was all professional stuff, which seemed incomprehensible to outsiders, but there were always some knowledgeable people who could see that Harichagai used It is a shaman secret technique. After tidying up Jingling, the reputation gradually spread. From then on, I did some simple jobs such as dancing to the gods part-time.

Tofu was very interested in hearing this, and suddenly asked: "You play so well, then I will test you. Tell me, if a person is dead, but he still harms the world like a living person, what can you do?" "Hari Chagai sneered, and said: "It's a small thing, but it depends on what's going on?" Tofu rolled his eyes and talked about the Panba Buddha and the messenger.Hari Chagai said: "You have overlooked the most important point. The power of the messenger comes from the Panba Buddha. There is a saying that captures the thief first and the king. Even if you want to clean up the messenger, you have to start from the root."

I couldn't help but feel moved when I heard this, and said, "I buried it in the soil and threw it into the mud pond, why didn't it work?"

Harichagai waved his hand and said: "Buried in the soil, it still exists, what use is it? To deal with evil things, you have to use more evil things to suppress them. Evil people have to be tortured by evil people. That's it. reason."

Tofu took a sip of cold beer, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then what should I do if I'm not sure whether I'm dead or alive?"Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help turning his head to look, his face was a little red, probably because he had drunk too much.After saying that, he quickly denied it, saying: "I asked nonsense. Forget it, don't talk about these weird things, or talk about something else, such as art?"

I saw him change the subject, and after talking for a long time, everyone was drinking a little too much, and there were too many people talking, and when it was not time to talk, I let the tofu interrupt and fool me.Immediately after eating and drinking enough, he wandered back to the shop.

There are three rooms on the second floor, one for me, one for Tofu, and one for Cyclops. Harichagai sleeps on the sofa for the time being. Waiting for tomorrow, let him and Cyclops share a room, so we can sleep anyway, and it doesn’t take too much space.

Immediately afterwards, I took a shower and felt a little clearer, so I couldn't help but think of Tofu's words just now. The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt, and I said: while he is drunk and his defenses are zero, why don't we go and ask him a question now? after all.Thinking of this, I went to the tofu room. This kid was already sleeping on his stomach on the bed. I pushed him twice but didn't wake up. Instead, he found me annoying and kicked him over.I thought he was really asleep and was about to leave, but unexpectedly found that the muscles on his body were a little tense, and I realized immediately that this kid was pretending to be asleep.

I smiled secretly, and felt displeased, so I pretended not to know, looked at the body paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, and said deliberately; "These women have no clothes on, they are indecent, I will add some clothes to them Where are the brushes and paints? Oh, I see...here." Immediately afterwards, he walked to one side of the painting tools, holding a paint pen, and prepared to draw clothes for the naked woman.

At this moment, Tofu shouted: "Beast, let it go!" I threw the paintbrush, turned around and sneered: "Are you awake?"

Tofu coughed dryly, and talked about him from left to right, saying: "It's late, go to sleep, the shop will open tomorrow, and we still owe Lao Zhang two months' salary."

I said, "Don't change the subject, I'll pay him. I'm serious and I'm going to ask you again... What do you mean by that sentence before? What dead and alive? Why do the diggers only attack you?" The first two times When this topic was brought up, Tofu was secretive, and I also turned a blind eye to it, but this time, no matter how I thought, I felt something was wrong, and this time I definitely wanted to greet the song clearly.

Seeing that I looked serious and didn't look like I would compromise easily, Tofu scratched his head and didn't speak for a while.I waited patiently. After more than ten minutes, he raised his head, picked up the paintbrush on the ground and handed it to me, saying, "You can dress them."
