C30 Identify

While I was still in a daze, the Mr. Zhao had already charged towards the mud man.

The clay figure didn't run away, only shouting, "There are two people at the door …" Then, he was beaten into pieces by the Mr. Zhao.

He only had time to scream before he died, but that one cry killed us. Through the doorway, I could see the wind howling, the sand flying, and something rushing at us at an incredible speed.

Mr. Zhao grabbed my arm and said, "Let's go."

The two of us ran away as fast as we could. After an unknown amount of time, the gale behind us disappeared and was replaced by faintly discernible Yin Qi.

I know we haven't really escaped yet.

That night we came to a small village. Mr. Zhao said to me: "Brother Hu, our situation is a little dangerous."

I waited for him to continue.

The Mr. Zhao took two breaths and told me, "There are a lot of living corpses around. They are even in the village, disguised as living people, and we have no time to tell them apart. We'll probably be caught by dawn. "

I asked Mr. Zhao, "What are your plans?"

Mr. Zhao said, "I have a way to keep you alive."

I curiously asked, "What about you?"

Mr. Zhao said, "Don't worry about me, I …"

As he spoke to here, his voice suddenly grew softer and softer. Puzzled, I put my ear close. "What are you talking about?"

Mr. Zhao suddenly grabbed my ear and took out a knife to cut it. I cried out in pain, but Mr. Zhao's knife was very blunt and couldn't cut off my ear even after cutting for a long time.

In the end, I couldn't take it anymore and pushed hard at the Mr. Zhao. However, I suddenly pushed an empty space and the Mr. Zhao disappeared.

I looked around and realized that I was no longer in the wilderness but in a broken Inside the house.

I was sitting on the floor with one hand on my ear, trying to lift me up. That person was Xia Xin.

I snapped out of it. I scrambled to my feet and snatched my ear back from Xia Xin's grasp.

Xia Xin's face was flushed red. With a furious expression, she pointed at me and said, "You're like a dog biting the hand of a lion. You don't recognize the kindness of others."

I was afraid to speak. Xia Xin took out a piece of paper from the table and shook it in front of me, "What's this? "What is this?"

On the paper was a picture of a dignified old man looking at himself in a mirror. Inside the mirror, there was a transvestite.

I dryly smiled and said, "I don't know him. Is this a map of the palace?"

Xia Xin rolled the painting into a ball and threw it at my face. You're still playing dumb? This is a dream mirror, do you think I don't know this? "

She stomped her feet in anger, "Back in that small mountain village, you didn't trust me. On the bus, you and that second uncle of yours were sneaking around. Do you think I don't know? Now he had taken out the dream-glasses. Hu Chujiu, you will definitely be tricked to the point where not even your bones will remain, do you believe me? "

I said bitterly, "I really don't know. I don't know anything. What did you say? "

This was my technique from primary school. If I did something wrong, I would either happily admit it or I would never admit it. Based on today's situation, admitting to it would not end well, so he decided to insist on his innocence.

Xia Xin pointed under the bed and said, "Why are you hiding under my bed?"

My brain worked quickly as I whispered to Xia Xin, "I feel like it was my second uncle who did it. Because I was having dinner with my second uncle, and I somehow fell asleep.

Xia Xin frowned.

I continued, "My second uncle is quite satisfied with you. Maybe he wants to match us. He is an old-fashioned, feudal man. Maybe she felt that if she slept in the same room, she would only be able to cook rice. As for this picture, it might have been left behind by the previous tenant, I'm not sure. "

I mean it. I know that's a lousy story, but no one would believe it. So you can only rely on my expression to increase your credibility.

I did it, because Xia Xin seemed a little skeptical.

I took advantage of her confusion to open the door and run.

Mr. Zhao was waiting in the courtyard. When he saw me come out, he immediately asked anxiously, "How was it? Did you succeed? "

I was extremely nervous. "I'm finished. He's going to tell me the truth."

If you think about it with your toes, I know that Xia Xin must be listening at the door. Who knew that Mr. Zhao would wink at me and ask, "Is it done with her? Eldest Nephew, let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you touch her or not, as long as you can see her body, she's yours. "Later on, I will prepare a betrothal gift. If she doesn't agree, then we will shout and see who is willing to marry her under a green hat."

"Shameless." Xia Xin shouted as a teapot flew out from the house. With a loud crash, it smashed onto Mr. Zhao's head, splattering everywhere.

Mr. Zhao grabbed my head and ran.

The two of us fled back to our own room, where we first chatted for a while. Then, the Mr. Zhao stood up and listened at the window. Seeing that there were no movements outside, he turned his head around and cautiously asked me, "How was it?"

I don't know how to answer.

That strange dream made me doubt the identity of the Mr. Zhao. I thought about it and said tentatively, "Hades."

Mr. Zhao was confused, "What is that?"

I wondered, "Was my dream just a dream?"

I thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Zhao, you're saying …"

Mr. Zhao coughed: "Eldest Nephew is usually at war."

I helplessly said, "Second Uncle, do you think that one person can control the other person's dreams?"

Mr. Zhao said, "When you are awake, a ghost's upper body can control your eyes, ears, and thoughts. What's more, you're asleep? I can do it if I don't brag. Do you want a dream of wealth, or a nightmare, or a dream of the spring? Seeing that you just came out of Xia Xin's room, looking as if your soul has left your body, it seems like you want to have a dream. "

I ignored his teasing and thought to myself, "Could it be that Xia Xin controlled me to make that dream? But what is her purpose? "

Mr. Zhao waved his hand in front of my face, "What happened to you? Is your dream being controlled? "

I immediately shook my head. "No, I was just curious."

Mr. Zhao asked, "Did you figure out Xia Xin's identity?"

I nodded. I first walked to the entrance and looked outside, then said to Mr. Zhao, "She should be a live corpse."

I'm not bullshitting. I did not see Xia Xin in my dreams. But when I woke up, I found something.

I didn't feel her heart beating as I pushed against Xia Xin. Even her heart was cold, colder than the rest of her body.

After the Mr. Zhao heard this, his face also became serious. He used his fingers to knock on the table, and said in a puzzled tone, "It seems that you really are in trouble. Why would she want to get close to you? What is your purpose? "

I also said in bewilderment, "Didn't you say that she was going to take me up the mountain?"

Mr. Zhao said, "But I feel that something is amiss more and more. If you were brought to the mountain, you could have just kidnapped me. Why are you being so courteous?"

I bitterly smiled and said, "Is this considered polite?" However, thinking about it, Xia Xin is indeed a bit irritable, she didn't hurt me at all, so I can be considered as being too polite.

Mr. Zhao turned to me and asked, "Did you see her goal in her dream?"

I shook my head and said to Mr. Zhao, "I forgot to bring the Dreamscape back."

Mr. Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's alright, that thing can only be used once. Now it's just a piece of scrap paper, let it lie under the mattress. "

He paced around the room for a while, then said to me: "Eldest Nephew, do you think money is more important, or life is?"

I asked him, "What do you want?"

Mr. Zhao said, "Give me the twenty thousand, I'll settle this matter for you."

I was suddenly relieved when he mentioned the money. In this way, he had a reasonable explanation for his eagerness to help me.

Then I said, "I don't have that much money."

Mr. Zhao was very generous: "Don't worry, you can divide it in stages, but the interest rate will be higher."

I thought: "When the trouble with Xia Xin is solved, I'll find a chance to slip away. Staging? Can you blacklist me for credit or what? "

Seeing that I had agreed, the Mr. Zhao said to me: "I have a way to deal with living corpses. I didn't say this before because I was afraid I might misunderstand. After all, she's a pretty girl, and if you hate her, you might regret it. Now that he was sure that she was alive, he was no longer afraid. "Just do as I say and you'll know her purpose."

I said to the Mr. Zhao, "And after knowing my goal? Can you get rid of her? "

Mr. Zhao said, "Don't worry. Once you find out the secret, I'll help you kill her.

Xia Xin is such a pretty girl, being killed by the Mr. Zhao, I can't help but to be a little reluctant in my heart. However, I am not someone like Tie Shan, I was tricked and gave my life away just like that.

If Xia Xin's intentions were truly unfavorable towards me, then I wouldn't go easy on her. Thus, I nodded my head and agreed.

Mr. Zhao patted my shoulder, telling me to stand behind the door. He pointed to a small hole on the door and said, "Do you see it?"

I nodded blankly.

Mr. Zhao said, "You stay here and watch. Xia Xin will go out before daybreak. As soon as she moves, you follow. If she's lying on the bed, you stick a needle in her head. When the time comes, she'll be at your mercy. "

I frowned. "That's it?"

Mr. Zhao nodded.

I said, "Isn't it a little too easy for you to earn twenty thousand dollars? Why was the whole operation done by me? "What about you?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "I have to be in the dark. Trash like you are everywhere on the street, Xia Xin wouldn't notice. But I was different. I had to hide, not let anyone know. "Don't worry, when she lies down, I will show myself."

I scratched my head. "So, I waited here all night?"

Mr. Zhao nodded before lying on the bed. He covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep.

I moved a chair and sat in the doorway, looking out at the dark yard. I suddenly had an idea: "Where did you get another dream mirror? I really want to see the Mr. Zhao's dream. "
