I talked to Liu Shougui, and he said that Tianjin hired someone, but he didn't say who that person was.
When I went to the crematorium, Bu Lele looked different. I felt like an old man and I felt something was wrong.
When I came out, I met Zhang Wen. This person had an invisible sense of intimacy with me. Although we had only met a few times, I had a strange feeling about him.
He took me out for a drink.
We didn’t talk much that day. When we left, he hugged me with a fatherly warmth.
I felt something was a little abnormal. He was only in his twenties, and I was in my forties. This feeling was a little bit wrong, but I still accepted it.
A man named Tianjin Sun came from Tianjin. He was a paper-making maker. In Tianjin, I knew people like Zhang the Clay Figurine Man and Wang the Locksmith, but I had never heard of Tianjin Sun. Usually, people would say their occupation in front of their name, but this one didn't. So he was just called Tianjin Sun. There are many people in Tianjin with the surname Sun.
When this person came, I realized that he was a paper-folder. Liu Shougui went to invite him personally, which shows that this person must be of some importance.
Sun from Tianjin actually has contact with He Ping, and their relationship is not an ordinary one. He must come over twice a year, in spring and autumn. It seems that their relationship is not an ordinary one. Master He Ping did not mention it to me.
When we went to the crematorium that day, Zhang Wen was there too. Bu Lele behaved very strangely, like a different person.
That day in the morgue, Sun from Tianjin said that the stabbed person was inside, and then he left. We didn't dare to move.
Tianjin Sun ran away.
I think this matter may be troublesome.
Unexpectedly, Sun from Tianjin came back in the middle of the night and said that yin and yang had replaced each other, and Bu Lele was that body. I broke out in a sweat, the paper man I made turned out to be like this.
I never expected that the brush painting left by He Ping would look like this after it was finished.
Tianjin Sun has handled the matter, which I didn't expect. It seems that Tianjin Sun is not an ordinary person.
Sun from Tianjin called me in Xinbin and asked me to come over. I didn’t know what that meant, but I went anyway. I saw Zhang Wen was there too. What were they doing in Xinbin
After I sat down, they mentioned to me Zhayi and Zhahong, two wizards, as I know, the last two wizards in China. What surprised me most was that Tianjin Sun had connections with them. Finally I found out that Tianjin Sun was originally from Xinbin and ran to Tianjin. As for why, no one said it.
"Today I ask you to come here to stab someone. Do it now. The materials are in the other room. Stab the upper body of a man and the lower body of a woman. I'll be waiting for you to use them."
I was stunned for a moment. I had never been stabbed like this before.
“You can definitely do it yourself.”
"If I can do it myself, there's no need to talk about other things. I can't do it myself."
Tianjin Sun doesn't seem to have a very good temper.
"I've never done it like this before. What's the point of doing it like this?"
"I have something to do with Zhayi and Zhahong, otherwise I wouldn't run away. Things are very troublesome right now, and I want to use this to stab someone."
"I won't do anything that would hurt someone."
"If you don't tell me, I won't do it."
Tianjin Sun glanced at Zhang Wen. We two went to the hall to talk. Zhang Wen ordered tea. He actually knew what kind of tea I liked. This was a strange thing.
I didn't say anything.
"You have to help Tianjin Sun. At least he helped you. This is a moral obligation. Besides, Tianjin Sun will not do anything bad."
I believe this Zhang Wen. This is a strange thing. How can I believe him
I don’t know. I can’t understand my behavior. How could I have such trust in someone I had only met a few times
"I think I know what happened?"
"Sun from Tianjin fled to Tianjin for a reason. This is a matter between them, and they just want to put an end to it."
Zhang Wen refused to say anything, but thinking about how Sun Da from Tianjin came all the way here to solve the problem for me, I had to help him. I nodded. I actually agreed just like that. I had never done this before. I didn't know what to do, but I actually agreed. I don't know how much trust Zhang Wen gave me. I can't understand this person. He gave me unlimited trust and a sense of security.
I stab people, both in the upper and lower parts of the body. I have never done this kind of work before, but He Ping taught me that this kind of work might be useful sometimes. Of course, it is not useful for ordinary things. As for what it might be used for, I didn't expect that it would actually be used.
I worked on it all night and when I was done, I had to do the eye-puncture. This was something I didn't want to do. There was something that made me feel very scared, but I didn't expect to do it again this time. Sun from Tianjin asked me to do this. I glanced at Zhang Wen who was standing next to me, and I did it.
Then we closed the door and went out to eat in a small restaurant. Halfway through the meal, a woman with waist-length hair came in and sat down to drink. I noticed that Tianjin Sun's expression was a little strange. It seemed to be related to this woman. I knew Zha Hong, but had never seen her. Zhang Wen wrote red words on the table, and I knew it was Zha Hong. My heart was shocked. This person was Zha Hong, a wizard. This was something I had not expected.
Zhahong was sitting there drinking beer. I could see everything had changed, but no one said anything.
When Zhahong left, I saw something left on the table, something like black paper.
When I wanted to move, Zhang Wen looked at me, stood up, and went over to get the black paper with words on it. Zhang Wen gave it to Tianjin Sun, who took a look at it and burned it with a lighter.
"Master Sun, what do you mean?"
Zhang Wen asked this very direct question, which surprised me a little. After all, I am in my twenties and I didn't seem to respect such a master chef very much. My tone was not right.
"This is my own problem. I'll go to Zhayi and solve it later."
I don’t know what to do with this kind of thing. It looks like things are going to be troublesome today.
After dark, I went to Zhayi's house and sat in the room, looking at Tianjin Sun.
“How do I want to solve it?”
Tianjin Sun said and closed his eyes.
"Let's go to the backyard."
In the backyard of Zhayi's house, there is a large millstone. How big is it? The hole is big enough to put a person in it.
My heart was so frightened that it could hardly beat. This was a human mill. He Dana told me that there were only two human mills in China. I never thought that I would actually see one.
It's really tiring to be tortured. I was scared and my legs went weak. Zhang Wen lit a cigarette and stood aside very calmly. I was also surprised, as it seemed that this young man had experienced a lot.
"Give me some fans, and then give me one of Ji Yihe's urns."
I started sweating. I never expected that Tianjin Sun would actually do this.
"Master Sun, this matter?"
I looked at Master Sun.
"This is none of your business, he will tell you."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhayi.
I backed away to the wall and leaned against it. I couldn't accept this.
Tianjin Sun took off all his clothes and got on the millstone. I absolutely don't believe that this would happen.
"Zhayi, is there any other solution?"
Zhayi shook his head.
I don't understand or know how deep the hatred between them is that they choose to torture others. I'm scared, really scared.
Tianjin Sun jumped into the hole. If it was ground a little, he would be ground into powder. Blood, all I thought about was blood. My mind went blank.
I remembered that He Dana told me that there is a kind of refining, which is tempering, this kind.
I work as a chemist and makeup artist, but I cannot accept this kind of refining. If this is the case, I would rather not be a chemist.
There was no sound, it was very quiet, so quiet that one could die.
"you."
Zhayi actually pointed at me.
"You push it."
I'm stupid, why did I push it
I won't move.
"You feel that you shouldn't push it. Of course, you can't understand such a thing, because you have a debt to pay. You have to pay this debt."
How I got into this debt, I don't know.
"I don't owe you anything, and this is the first time I see you."
"It's not you who owes it, it's He Dana who owes it. You are He Dana's godson, so of course you should pay it back."
My head is so big that it can’t be any bigger. I feel like I can’t hold it with both hands.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Do you think I'm joking?"
I'm speechless, there's nothing to say.
"Let me do it!"
Zhang Wen stood up, and his calmness was the most strange thing to me. I’m in my forties and I can’t do it.
"You can't."
Zhang Wen looked at me with a look that seemed to show heartache. Was I seeing things
"What if I don't do it? Because I can't do it."
"You can choose not to do it, then you can also choose half grinding."
I know half grinding, grinding off the legs, and then stopping grinding, what is that option like? Pain? How painful? I'm about to pee.
I hesitated. I really couldn't bring myself to grind Tianjin Sun away. Even if he was a stranger, I couldn't do it.
I turned around to leave, but after taking a few steps, I felt like I had hit a wall and couldn't move.
"I am a wizard. You can't leave until this matter is resolved today."
"Let me do it!"
Zhang Wen said.
"I told you that you can't, but there is an option, half grinding, you can take his place."
"Can."
I was dumbfounded. What on earth did Zhang Wen mean by this? He did this for me. We were friends, but it had not come to this. Even if he was a brother, he might not make such a choice.
The stalemate continued.
"Okay, Xiaozhe, come on, there is no other choice. Get me a good urn and don't bury me in this county. I don't like to see wizards."
I really can't do this, but I have no choice.
I cried out loud as I held the big grinding rod.
"I'm sorry, Master Sun."
"This has nothing to do with you. What you owe must be repaid. Remember, you must be a kind person in this life. What you owe must be repaid sooner or later."
I closed my eyes and pushed the mill, very slowly, but late I heard Tianjin Sun's screams. That scream was definitely the most terrifying.
Tianjin Sun just called out a few times and then stopped because he passed out.
Push, push, push, keep pushing, I have completely become a murderer, how much debt do I owe? I don't know, I want to kill Zhayi, but I can't do it, Zhayi is too evil.
When they called for a stop, I weakened and sat on the ground. I saw powder and blood on the millstone and I was completely unable to move. Zhang Wen turned his face away.
"Okay, I've paid off what I owed and what Tianjin Sun owed. Go get the urn. He needs Ji Yihe's urn."
Zhang Wen helped me up. We left Xinbin and returned in the middle of the night.
The blood on the millstone had dried, but the powder was still there. I collected it, bit by bit.
When I was sealing the box, I felt that Zhayi was too cruel. What on earth did he do to take revenge on others
I don't know, I really don't know. That day I carried the urn of Tianjin Sun back to the city. That night, I didn't sleep. I just sat in the car. Zhang Wen accompanied me without saying anything. I felt that his presence made me feel more stable. I never understood why I felt this way. (To be continued)
