"It's dry, be careful with fire!"
It was another dark night, and the night watchman Old Chen went out to the streets again to start his daily night watch career.
Being a night watchman is not an easy job. You have to work day and night and cannot farm. You can barely make ends meet with that meager salary.
Do you still want to use that little bit of money to visit brothels, listen to folk songs, and go to the Yihong Courtyard to find Xiaohong
Fuck you!
Old Chen spitted and asked, "Is this a serious night watchman?"
People like him are real night watchmen, because he never drives a car, but just walks on his own two legs, holding a gong and shouting everywhere.
"call!"
A cold wind blew.
Old Chen couldn't help but touch his neck and subconsciously turned around to look behind him. He was the only one on the dark night road.
He let out a long sigh. He was most afraid of running into dirty things when walking for a long time at night.
Old Chen didn’t care about it before. He thought his life was worthless and he could be cool about it if he met a female ghost.
If sleeping for one night is enough to cover the cost, then sleeping for two nights will also be profitable, right
Maybe the last time, his good friend Old Li, who chopped wood, died tragically at home, and last time he was inexplicably turned into a red-haired old monster and was beaten for several days.
Since then, Old Chen no longer has the courage he once had.
Some things, you don't see, you think are no big deal.
When real things happen, you will find that you are not a hero and you will become timid and afraid.
This is what is called a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Naturally, it is not afraid of things it has never seen before.
As for the cows that have been bitten by tigers and survived by chance, they will not see the tiger again, but even if they smell the scent of the tiger, they will take a three-mile detour.
Old Chen took out his wine gourd and took a sip of wine. He couldn't help but think of his neighbor, Old Wang next door.
Wang Mazi is such a person.
Once when I went out, I was bitten by a dog that jumped out. It was so tragic, my thigh was covered in blood.
The people are still here.
The dog is gone.
Old Chen still remembers that day. Wang Mazi's cooking skills were so good that they often couldn't taste meat for months.
Just on that day, I ate to my heart's content!
Since that day, Wang Mazi would tie a piece of pig skin on his leg from time to time, and his eyes would light up when he saw dogs on the street.
These dogs are not tied with leashes, and no one has the time to raise them. Most of them are local dogs or wild dogs. After all, in this world, people can't afford to raise a dog, so who would raise a dog
Wang Mazi provoked without saying a word. If any dog dared to open its mouth, he would hit it with a brick and carry it away.
This one is particularly clever. No matter whether he has an owner or not, without an owner, Wang Mazi got ten kilograms of dog meat.
Has an owner
That's even better!
I'm tired of eating dog meat. I'll save some money for medical expenses and buy some other meat to eat.
Old Chen thought of the past and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Thinking back to the days when he was young, he realized how reckless he was.
What a pity, Lao Wang!
Once when I was walking at night, I didn't pay close attention and mistook a wolf for a dog.
well!
The wolf is still there.
The person is gone.
Old Chen sighed and said that from that day on, he could no longer eat fresh and delicious dog meat.
He struck the gong violently and shouted loudly.
"It's dry, be careful, Lao Wang!"
"Ah!"
"It's dry, be careful with fire!"
Old Chen shook his head and walked forward with big strides. After just two steps, his body couldn't help but stiffen and he stopped straight.
I saw a figure slowly appearing on the dark street in front of me under the moonlight, and the moonlight made the shadow extremely long.
Old Chen couldn't help swallowing his saliva, then quickly hid aside and quietly looked over.
He actually wished it was a human and that he was just a frightened bird that made a fool of himself.
If it weren’t for the individual...
Old Chen glanced over stealthily, his hand holding the gong couldn't help but tremble as he muttered something in his heart.
Jade Emperor, Buddha, Uncle Nine!
Please bless me!
I'm almost saving enough money to go to Yihongyuan this month.
He quietly leaned over and saw the figure getting closer and closer. The person was wearing white clothes and had disheveled hair, and looked like a woman.
Female
Old Chen retracted his head and ran away without saying a word.
He now has the heart of a thief like Cao, but not his courage.
There have been murders in Renjia Town time and again, all of which are related to female ghosts. How could Old Chen not be afraid
I don't want to be a night watchman anymore!
Old Chen ran so fast that he didn't notice that the woman in white had a shadow.
The woman slowly raised her head and looked at the running old Chen with a blank expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”
Before he had run for a short distance, Old Chen felt a little weak. He bent down and began to gasp for breath.
His forehead, palms and hands were all covered in sweat. He didn't know if it was because he was tired from running so fast or because he was scared by the woman just now.
"The Erxian Bridge is just ahead. As long as we enter the alley and cross the Erxian Bridge, we will be able to reach our home!"
Old Chen looked back and saw that no one was chasing him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you return home, stick the talisman you bought on the door and hide yourself under the quilt, you will be able to resist evil and the monsters will retreat.
As soon as he stood up, he noticed something unusual, but he didn't see it because he was running over in a hurry.
The alley in front of me leading home was filled with white lanterns and long white strips hung on both sides. The cold wind was blowing everywhere, making it particularly creepy.
Old Chen's heart tightened. He had never heard of anyone walking in this alley who would spend so much money to hang up white lanterns.
This is not a road for people to walk on, it is clearly a road for the dead to walk on.
He wanted to step back, but then he thought of the woman in white behind him, and his heart suddenly turned cold.
This white lantern, isn’t it hung for women
"It's a sin. It's a sin."
The more Old Chen thought about it, the more frightened he became. When he remembered that his home was just ahead, he gritted his teeth and decided to move forward.
“Ding-dong!”
A loud sound of wind chimes came from the front, followed by the sound of wheels running rapidly.
When Old Chen looked up, he saw a carriage galloping out of the darkness, passing through the streets hung with white lanterns, rushing towards him like a chariot.
He panicked and wanted to run to the side, but his feet felt numb, as if they were grabbed by a pair of cold hands.
“Ding-dong!”
The carriage was getting closer and closer, and Old Chen's face turned pale. The next moment, a dazzling white light flashed from the carriage, illuminating the alley as if it were daytime.
"ah!"
Old Chen covered his eyes and screamed. The sound of horse hooves from the carriage was getting closer and closer. A strong wind blew and Old Chen fell heavily to the ground. Except for a slight pain in his butt, he was unexpectedly safe and sound.
The carriage seemed to not exist at all and passed straight through his body.
Old Chen turned his head suddenly and found that the carriage seemed to have really passed through his body and drove away into the distance.
His face instantly lost all color, and he saw two pale faces staring at him from the rear window of the carriage.
One I don’t know.
One of them was his former neighbor, Lao Wang next door!
Old man Chen rolled his eyes and fell heavily to the ground.
Wang Mazi was killed by a wolf ten years ago, and no one knows where his body has gone.
