Otherworldly Merchant

When the car arrived in Hefei, it was already night. Zhuangning wanted to rush home night after night. I could understand her mood and didn't say much.

But after asking several black car drivers in a row, they didn't want to run into the mountains, and finally, we had to deal with it in a small hotel nearby for one night.

Of course, one room at a time, I'm like a bodyguard to Yin Xinyue.

The next morning, we chartered a car on our way. The car was a worn-out Wuling Hongguang, and the driver told me with pride that the car had turned seven hands to him, but it was extremely well configured and comforting.

Can you not fucking worry? I was afraid to fly out with my tires on.

The broken car drove up and made a burst of weird noise, and the smoke kept coming out behind his ass. It's a long drive, and Zhuangning in the back seat is probably worried that his parents haven't slept well all night, and he's already falling asleep against the back of his chair.

The driver was smoking and chatting with me, “Dude, is this your girlfriend? ”

I shook my head and said, "No, it's a hometown. I'm just going back with you. ”

The driver nodded, “Didn't you get the message too, so you came back to find the baby? ”

Baby, what baby?

Seeing me show a puzzling look, the driver smiled like a thief: "How dare you not know? A few days ago, it rained heavily for half a month in the mountains, and then the water started pouring. Jing County had the worst disaster. Many graves and bags were washed away by the water. The people who were still worried about their faces were happy. They were not afraid to go into the mountains to pick up their babies. I wanted to keep up with the past to take advantage, and as a result, these villages were very closely watched, and people who were not their villages were not allowed to go up the mountain at all. By the way..." Speaking of which, the driver handed me a wrinkly card: “Dude, here's my card. I see you look really good and want to make a deal with you. If you find a good baby, let me know and I'll find someone to sell it for you. Not blowing it with you, brother knows all the antique collection tycoons, you just need to give me a little hard work...”

How dare you put business on me? I am Wuhan's number one shady trader.

I took his card and laughed and didn't talk anymore.

The car drove until the afternoon, and there was heavy rain outside the window, perhaps too loud, and Zhuangning in the back of the car woke up. She looked out the window worried and asked, "When did it rain so hard? ”

The driver smiled and said, “It's not that big. You haven't seen the rain the other day, like it's leaking. ”

If he doesn't say it's okay, Joaning gets more anxious.

The sky grew darker and darker. I erased the heat from the window and looked out. I saw that there were some villages hidden under the clouds. Zhuangning introduced: “This is Jing County, and you can walk up to my house...”

Not far away, but for more than an hour, the roads were full of dense and numb trees, and some sections of the road were piled with stones, which made driving extraordinarily difficult.

I finally understood why the other driver refused to come, and only this driver said yes. His car is so broken, it doesn't hurt to drive!

Though it is the afternoon, the sky is already dark and I can't see five fingers.

Almost to the black town of Zhuangning, the wrecked car finally broke down. The driver scolded, kicked and kicked at the car, and Zhuangning, anxious after discussing with me, decided to walk to town in the rain.

After paying for the car, the driver held my hand and repeatedly said: "Dude, if you get a good baby, remember me, the price is good, the price is good! ”

Zhuang Ning and I left without going back.

Maybe God help, it's raining a lot. Under Zhuangning's guidance, I succeeded in coming to Blackjacket Town, standing in front of the town an ancient stone palace, which should be a Qing Dynasty architecture in terms of engraving technique, with the words‘ Blackjacket Town ’engraved at the top of the palace.

Zhuangning became accustomed to these and took me into town at a faster pace.

The town is not big, there is only one old street and all the houses are built on both sides of the old street. Perhaps because of the rain, there was no one in the town, and there was a strange quiet surrounding, only the rain dropped on the bluestone slab, making a crackling sound.

I looked around vigilantly and just felt a shadow of cool in the air, unlike the average cold, as if there was an extremely powerful pubic atmosphere hidden in it.

This pungency stunned me, but was soon replaced by excitement.

How much shade does it have to accumulate if it's cleaned up?

I followed Zhuangning's footsteps.

Zhuangning's family lived in the innermost part of Blackjacket Town. Zhuangning pushed the door in without thinking. There was no one in the yard. Zhuangning tried to scream twice. An old, thin woman poked out of the room. She squinted her eyes for half a day before recognising Zhuang Ning and ran out crying: “Xiao Ning, is... is that you? How come you're back. ”

Zhuang Ning's anxious face was white: “I received a letter from you and Dad, and it didn't make it clear. I thought about it in my heart, so I hurried back on leave. What the hell is going on? ”

After listening to Zhuang Ning, Aunt Zhuang grabbed her hand and cried: “Xiao Ning, you... your father is afraid of losing it. ”

“What?” Zhuang Ning blushed: “Don't worry, make it clear. ”

Aunt Zhuang only knows how to cry and can't say anything. I gave Zhuang Zhuang a better look, she panicked but quickly calmed down and took me into the house.

The house is very damp and there are no lights. There was only one piece of dusty furniture in the dim room, and a wet man was lying on the bed in the corner.

Zhuang Ning only glanced and screamed: "Dad, Dad! Can you hear me? I'm Ning, I'm back! ”

Men don't move, like unconscious living dead people.

Zhuangning reached out his hand to probe the man's temperature and his palms immediately shrunk back when they touched the man's forehead. He looked back at me in horror and said: "Mr. Zhang, my father seems a little strange...”

I caught a closer look and found that Zhuangning's father's face was a strange grey color, wet from head to foot, as if it had just been rained.

I gently touched his forehead and touched his hands as if they were wrapped in ice.

I frowned. What's going on?

Aunt Zhuang walked in crying: “Ning, if your father is gone, our family will fall apart. How can we live in the future? ”

Zhuang Ning was upset by her tears and angry: “Mom, why don't you take him to the hospital if Dad is having such a serious illness? What's the use of lying at home like this? ”

After listening, Aunt Zhuang shook her head continuously: “Your father is not ill, he is cursed, the devil's curse! ”
