The strange case of the demon book

?The puppet circus is still performing alone on the streets of Guangzhou.After that night, Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui did not go to Haizhu Theater again.The two still work lazy at night and go to Chenghuang Temple to sell things during the day.

The Town God's Temple was crowded with people.Hungry Ghost Festival is approaching, and things that are close to this festival are also selling well.Huo Wencai has a sum of money in his hand, but his obsession with money is not so deep.

"Take it, your tea." Huo Wen wrapped up the tea and gave it to the guest.Eyes saw a familiar figure, isn't that Yuan Xi?Huo Wencai still remembered what happened that day, although it had nothing to do with him.But when she comes out, let's kindly remind her.

After Yuan Xi entered the Town God's Temple, she bought cigarettes and lit them up.Then I gave some incense money.When she came out of the Town God's Temple to go home, Huo Wen stopped her.

"Yuan Xi."

There was a surprised expression on Yuan Xi's face, and then she stepped forward with a heartless smile: "Hey, why is Mr. Patrolman acting as a street peddler?"

Ma Wenrui smiled at Huo Wencai, Huo Wencai is very lucky, seeing her getting to know two beauties in such a short period of time is really enviable.I thought so, but he already had a girl in his heart, so he just admired the beautiful flowers.

After Yuan Xi arrived at Huo Wencai's stall, she squeezed Huo Wencai away and sat in front of the stall by herself.Huo Wencai pulled Ma Wenrui's chair over and sat down.

"Have you been doing anything out of the ordinary recently?" Huo Wencai asked.

"What can I do? Kid, show me that hairpin." Yuan Xi looked at Shitong's stall next door and said, Shitong hurriedly handed the hairpin Yuan Xi liked to her.

"It's so beautiful." Yuan Xi couldn't put it down.

"Zhang Jue said that you messed up something you shouldn't have messed with. It's still too late to stop now. Don't risk your life in that." Huo Wencai said.

"Why, you don't believe me?" Yuan Xi asked Huo Wencai with a smile.

"I don't believe it." Huo Wencai, who had been played by her several times, firmly did not believe Yuan Xi's words.

"Oh, since you don't believe me, why are you still meddling in my business. Sir, the patrolman wouldn't use this to arrest me." Yuan Xi inserted the hairpin in her hair without even looking at Huo Wen.

Only then did Huo Wen realize that Yuan Xi had started to make trouble for no reason again: "Whether you believe it or not, as long as you understand it in your heart."

Yuan Xi turned to look at Huo Wen and smiled meaningfully: "Do you care about me?"

Huo Wen was speechless for a while: "We met once, just want to remind you."

"Forget it, you men, how can you understand women's minds." Yuan Xi stretched out her fingers and nodded on Huo Wencai's forehead, then stood up and left.Shitong shouted, "Miss, you haven't paid me yet."

"I want it from Huo Wen." Yuan Xi left without looking back.Huo Wencai took out the money to give to Shi Tong, and Shi Tong thanked him.Huo Wencai really didn't understand women, and he didn't know what they were thinking at all.He didn't understand Yuan Xi in front of him, he didn't understand Tang Manzhu, and he didn't understand even the junior sister in Foshan.

A woman's mind is really complicated.

Huo Wencai continued to sell his tea, today must be a good day for Huo Wencai to meet his old friend.Jing Hong, who had a double bond in the water market, also came to the Temple of the City God. After she went to the Temple of the City God to worship, she went to Huo Wencai to buy tea.

"Miss Jinghong still remember me." Huo Wencai asked, Ma Wenrui's eyes widened, what kind of luck did Huo Wencai have, how did he know so many beauties.Moreover, he also knew this beauty, but they didn't know him.

"Remember." Jing Hong glanced at Huo Wen lightly before saying.

"Miss Jinghong, just now Miss Yuan Xi also came to the Town God's Temple to worship the Lord of the City God. I think something is wrong with her, do you know what she is doing recently?" Huo Wencai asked.

"She knew a Japanese guest, and that Japanese man knew that she wanted a child, so he gave her a doll for her to enshrine, and she would be able to conceive in half a year." Jinghong's words made Huo Wen feel a little unbelievable.

"Miss, you know that Japanese." A voice sounded from behind Jinghong, and Jinghong got up: "It's Young Master Zhang."

"Zhang Jue, you are here." Huo Wencai greeted, today is really a coincidence, I met one acquaintance after another.

"I'm looking for someone, maybe it's the Japanese. Let's go to the teahouse for a while." Zhang Jue Jinghong invited.

"Okay." Jing Hong nodded.

"Me too, Wen Rui will help me take a look." Huo Wencai said.

"Oh~" Ma Wenrui responded.

The three went to the teahouse and ordered tea.Mirror red lips opened: "The Japanese is called Ito Muji, who was my guest. He is a Japanese puppet master. He was Yuan Xi's guest some time ago. After that, Yuan Xi became a little strange. Later, through It was only known from other people that Yuan Xi enshrined the puppet given to him by Yidong Musi in order to get pregnant. After that, Yuan Xi became a little delirious."

Zhang Jue took a sip of tea: "Do you know where Ito Musi lives?"

"I don't know." Jing Hong said.

"Thank you." Zhang Jue thanked him when he got the news he wanted.

"Master Zhang, you are welcome. If Master Zhang has nothing to do, I will leave first."

"Please." Zhang Jue said politely.

After Jinghong left, Huo Wencai said, "I haven't seen you for a while, are you checking on that Japanese?"

"Yes." As he spoke, he took the puppet he picked up from Huo Wencai's pocket to the table and flicked his fingers, and the puppet immediately jumped and climbed onto Huo Wencai's shoulder.

Huo Wencai still wondered why the doll appeared in his pocket again, but when he saw the doll move, Huo Wen was so frightened that he fell off the chair: "Hey—hey—he moved!"

Zhang Jue laughed and pulled Huo Wencai up, Huo Wencai held the doll sitting in his hand in panic, Huo Wencai's heart skipped a beat when the doll moved.

"He, he moved." Huo Wencai said cautiously with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, he moved." Zhang Jue pulled Huo Wen to sit down.Huo Wencai carefully placed the doll on the table, and the doll wanted to climb onto Huo Wencai again, Huo Wencai pointed at the doll and exclaimed: "Don't move!" The doll really couldn't even move. I dare not move.Although it was a doll, Huo Wencai always felt that it looked pitiful.

"Don't be afraid, he won't harm you." Zhang Jue said with a smile, he wanted to scare Huo Wencai, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so big.

When I first saw Huo Wencai, I knew that he was carrying a "thing". I didn't expect it to be such a weak thing. This hidden world thing has not harmed anyone. I don't know where Huo Wencai brought it from. Even Huo Wencai Wencai himself doesn't know.

"He, is he, is he a ghost." Huo Wen stammered.

"No, it's a monster." Zhang Jue stretched out his finger, and the puppet stretched out its small hand to rest on Zhang Jue's finger.

"Is he a monster?" Huo Wen exclaimed.

"It's a little demon. You can ask him." Zhang Jue said.

"He can talk?" Huo Wen was surprised. This was the first time he had come into contact with monsters. He thought the folk tales of ghosts were fake, but since he came to Guangzhou, the strange things he encountered became more and more serious. strangeness.Now that a monster appeared, Huo Wen cautiously said to the puppet sitting on the table: "Are you really a monster? What kind of monster are you? Why did you follow me?"

The puppet turned its head to look at Zhang Jue and then at Huo Wen before saying weakly: "My name is Lantern, an unformed lantern monster, you brought me home and hung me on the window , I saw that you brought the puppet home, so I borrowed the puppet's body." The puppet said weakly, as if afraid that Huo Wen would be angry.

"You mean, you are the red lantern in my house?" Huo Wencai asked in surprise.

The doll nodded.

During the Leshan Faceless Actor incident, I had a nightmare, and it was not my illusion that the lantern fell from the window and woke me up.Huo Wencai was amazed. Knowing the source, Huo Wencai was no longer so afraid.There is a monster living with me, this feeling is really strange.

"I never thought there was a monster living in my house." Huo Wencai smiled and stretched out his hand to the puppet. The puppet looked at Huo Wencai and carefully walked onto Huo Wencai's palm, and Huo Wencai put it on his own On his shoulder, the puppet sat on his shoulder.

Zhang Bin said to the puppet: "Liu Qingyang sells medicine in Guangzhou City, if you need anything, you can buy it from him."

"Ah~" The puppet called out cautiously, and then said: "Master Liu is in Guangzhou City!"

"Yes." Zhang Jue said.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhang, I will definitely go." The puppet said.

Dr. Liu, is that Dr. Yunyou who sells medicine in the medicine street?It seems to be called Liu Qingyang.

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Zhang Bihuo Wencai said.

"Zhang Jue, you are investigating the Japanese. Let me help you." Huo Wencai said.

"No need." Zhang Jue said.

Huo Wencai felt depressed, Zhang Jue will always be like this.

I regard him as my most important friend!Huo Wencai could only watch Zhang Jue leave helplessly.

Huo Wencai returned to his booth with depression in his heart, sat in a daze and wandered away.

"I'm back. How did you know Miss Jinghong?" Ma Wenrui asked curiously.

"We met when we were selling rouge powder in the floating market." Huo Wencai said.

"You really have a beauty. This Jinghong was the daughter of an official's concubine before the end of the late Qing Dynasty. During the Revolution of [-], the official took all his property and left with his wife and children and dismissed his servants. Fleeing to Hong Kong, the concubines and children who were left behind were penniless, and Jinghong was one of them. Later, the other concubines left and left the children to her. In order to survive, she took care of her mother and the following siblings. Just go to the floating market to pick up customers. Sigh~ These people are really cruel to her..."

Ma Wenrui really felt sorry for Jinghong when such a good woman was ruined like this.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen behind Jing Hong's life, it's really cold in the world.

In this world, if a woman is not strong enough or has no shelter, she may become someone else's property.This era has already judged them by nailing them to the shelf.

Unable to defy and violate the morals of the world, who can Huo Wencai grab with his hands?Who can I protect?
