Chapter 147 Lost
I couldn't hide the excitement on my face. Master Lin shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything else. He just muttered a few words behind him, "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided."
When I passed by a person, he bumped into me intentionally or unintentionally, as if I bumped into him accidentally.
But the strength was extraordinarily strong, and I felt something was wrong. When I looked back at him, I saw that he had already walked far away and had no intention of looking back.
The people in Hejian are open-minded. They bump into each other while walking on the road, pat the dirt on their bodies, say sorry to each other, and then pass.
At this moment, he has walked out so far. If I chase him, it will look like I am too stingy.
I hesitated for a while, and he was almost out of sight as he walked away, so I could only swallow my anger. I rubbed my shoulders and followed Master Lin's footsteps.
Walking towards the restaurant in front, I actually wanted to go to the cafeteria and eat white rice. Although it tasted a little bit unpalatable, it didn't cost any money.
Nowadays, making money is harder than eating shit. If I can't make money, how can I support Bai Xian?
Not to mention supporting her, but at least I want her to live with me and have her own home.
Bai Xian is so good-looking, she must have a lot of suitors. I don’t know how she fell in love with a poor boy like me.
"What did you hit just now? Do you smell such a strong corpse smell?"
Master Lin has a very good nose. Before I even got close to him, I could smell his scent.
When he said this, I was basically certain that the person I bumped into just now was definitely not a good person.
Corpse odor, why do living people have corpse stench?
Or should he be a corpse? The sun hasn't set yet, so it's not like a dead person can walk around on the street.
"Just now, someone seemed to have bumped into me accidentally. He was very forceful."
I briefly described the situation just now and wanted to describe the person's appearance, but found that I didn't see clearly what he looked like at all.
Even what kind of clothes he was wearing, when I think about it now, I can only recall a vague impression.
"Extremely strong? Oh no, you wait here first and I'll see if I can find him. If not, go home and get the bell and a small axe."
Master Lin ran out before he could finish his words. His agility was unlike that of a middle-aged man.
In the past, I could guarantee that my physical fitness was definitely better than Master Lin's, but now, I feel like I'm just a noob.
The bell and the small ax were all on me. I took a deep breath and followed Master Lin, running non-stop on the way back and forth.
Master Lin wanted to find the person just now, but he was walking very fast. There was an intersection in front of him. We were not sure whether he turned a corner or not, so the possibility of finding him was simply too low.
But Master Lin ran a long way away, so I could still stand there and pretend to be dead.
What's more, I feel like I'm okay now, maybe I can help, and I won't pretend to be dead and just stand there motionless.
Master Lin ran very fast, attracting the attention of many people around him. Following Master Lin's pace, I ran out of breath.
It can be said that I am out of breath.
Looking at Master Lin again, although he is not young, he still can't run as fast as me. Just when I felt like I was going to faint.
Master Lin finally stopped his unruly pace. Seeing that I was as tired as a dead dog, he kept shaking his head with undisguised disappointment on his face.
I don't want to disappoint his old man, but I haven't exercised for too long, and my body is so sluggish that my bones are loose.
It's a pity that I don't have a good physique. I almost went to a sports school to practice long jump as a seed athlete back then.
"If I can't catch up, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble today. Let's go eat quickly. It will get dark soon. We will split into two groups and go for a walk in the corners of the street. When we see a dead body, we will ring the bell and put a sticker on his forehead. Talisman paper.”
Master Lin, like a magician, took out a stack of talismans from an unknown location on his body and handed it to me.
There is double-sided tape on the back of the talisman paper. If someone had given it to me, I would definitely doubt whether it was really useful.
Why is there double-sided tape on it? It's so strange. It's like a billiard table suddenly appearing in an antique house.
"What do you know, kid? This is called advancing with the times. If I didn't improve the talisman paper, I would have been begging for food. Besides, in today's technological society, it is natural to improve these old things. Do you think there is double-sided tape behind it? , will it be particularly convenient to use?”
I suspected that if I shook my head and said no, Master Lin would definitely give me a kick, so I nodded my head obediently. I was obedient to the naked eye. It was me he was talking about.
A stack of talisman papers, I'm a little doubtful, do you need so many? And those corpses can hurt people?
I feel that Master Lin did not fully explain to me, for example, how dead bodies can hurt people, how many dead bodies can appear, and how should I respond if two appear at the same time.
When we got to the dining place, I wanted to open my mouth to ask about the situation, but Master Lin gave me a fierce glare.
After eating a meal, I didn't have time to ask Master Lin clearly. This was really too difficult.
After we left the small restaurant, Master Lin told me to go for a walk quickly and not to go to the bus company before it was time to get out of the bus. He didn't tell me what he was going to do, and he just ran away without a trace.
I sighed, thought about it and decided to go to the University of Science and Technology. That place was very weird. If a dead body passed by, I might not be able to solve these things if I don't have anyone to take advantage of now.
So I went over to see if, firstly, I could complete the task assigned by Master Lin, and secondly, I might be able to help him solve his troubles.
Mainly, I want to get close to the uncle and see if I can come up with something, such as about Bai Xian.
I'm pretty sure that Master Lin must have something to say about Bai Xian. He's still hiding something from me, but I don't know exactly what he thinks.
He refused to tell me the truth. I met Sun Laoqi twice during this period, but he couldn't even speak to me. This made me so sad.
Walking to the University of Science and Technology, I deliberately chose a small road. Basically, no one would walk on the small road because there had been a murder case before.
A college student who was working part-time outside the school ran through the path here in order to get back to the dormitory before it was closed, but he didn't expect to encounter a gangster.
In the end, he was robbed and then brutally killed. The news must have been hidden, so that few people dared to walk on this road.
Not only was he afraid of meeting gangsters, he was also afraid of meeting the classmate who died violently, because some people said that he was once in the alley.
