You are not human

The two went down the mountain side by side and walked along the side of the road towards the village.

In view of a certain dragon's overly frank personality, Yin Bei told him in advance to keep his mouth shut for a while, and to pretend to be shy.

Ao Jinyu understood the meaning of "community terror" ignorantly, and probably knew that it meant to tell him not to open his mouth yet.

The village is not far from the cemetery, you don’t need to go in, you can see people across the road—a few old people sitting on the side of the road chatting with benches, and seeing them coming, they stared at them curiously. look.

Yin Bei paused, trying to ignore his own resistance, and took a difficult step forward.

He never thought that one day he would take the initiative to take on the important task of socializing with people.

He sighed slightly, but before he could open his mouth, the old lady over there had already started talking: "Which family are you from? You have such a cute face."

The other party spoke crappy Mandarin with a certain accent, and the other old people watching around laughed. Yin Bei inexplicably had the illusion that he was being molested.

He was silent for a moment, trying to maintain a polite expression and replied: "We don't live here..."

Before he finished speaking, the old lady laughed heartily, and took the words in a hurry: "We know it, how can we not know each other who live here!"

"What are you here for? Are you a college student? Are you lost?"

"Sell insurance! Last time I came to shoot a video!"

Yin Bei: "..."

Ao Jinyu anxiously glanced at Yin Bei who was silent, and then at the overly enthusiastic old lady, couldn't help pulling Yin Bei's sleeve, and pointed to his mouth.

He seemed to want to talk, but he still remembered what Yin Bei told him not to talk casually.

Yin Bei closed his eyes: "...you tell me."

Ao Jinyu immediately opened his mouth, showing a sunny smile: "Grandma, we are here to find someone, do you know the Taoist temple on the mountain over there?"

The old lady laughed: "Is there anything we don't know about here! We must know it! That's Qishan Temple!"

"Qishan Temple?" Ao Jinyu muttered, "But we don't even have a door plaque..."

"It was originally there, but later..." The old man next to him snorted coldly, "It got into trouble, and it was demolished by others!"

Ao Jinyu showed a puzzled expression: "Huh? But we heard that although it is remote, it is very spiritual!"

Yin Bei couldn't help but look sideways. He thought this guy was not good at lying, and he probably wasn't good at asking questions, but he didn't expect him to be decent.

Ao Jinyu noticed his gaze, blinked at him quickly, and then looked at the old man sincerely.

"Very spiritual?" The old people looked at each other, "Old man Chen is the only one in the Taoist temple, right? I remember that he accidentally let the cow run away when he was herding cattle, and he went up to the mountain to become a Taoist priest for fear of being beaten to death. How is he spiritual?"

"And the apprentice he picked up! But they seem to only sell paper money. I haven't heard of any rituals they will do?"

"That's right, I still need to find the old black woman in the village to do things!"

"Hey! Don't tell me, why didn't it work! I had a terrible headache before, old man Chen showed me, it's really good!"

Yin Bei and Ao Jinyu looked at each other, and the people in the Taoist temple were indeed connected with this village.

"It's his apprentice." Yin Bei said at the right time, "We heard that there is a little Taoist priest who is young but very smart. He should be the apprentice of the old man you mentioned."

The talkative old ladies were silent for a moment, and Yin Bei keenly noticed something from this moment of silence.

Ao Jinyu pretended not to understand the strange atmosphere between them, and then said: "That little Taoist leader seems to be called 'Zhengxin', is that his name?"

"Be honest..." The old man's expression was a little subtle, "It's just a little scorpion."

An old lady showed a secretive expression: "It's not that the little scarlet is ineffective, he..."

She quickly glanced at her companion, "He's a bit evil."

Yin Bei raised his eyebrows at this rustic name, and the old man was already talking: "Oh, I remember who said he was kidnapped by a kidnapper? He was dirty when he came to our village. It stinks, and his head is rotten, so we call him little mangy."

"Our village party secretary gave him food, but he refused to eat it. Then, while we were not paying attention, he went to steal from the kitchen of Zhang's next door!"

"The Zhang family next door wanted to beat him, but..."

They lowered their voices, as if they were telling a ghost story, "The little mangy screamed like a ghost, and the Zhang family next door fell to the ground!"

"I was there at the time, and I remember the little mangy looking into his eyes, it scared me to death!" Someone hurriedly added, "The Zhang family next door didn't expect to be admitted to the hospital, and I forgot what the disease was, but he was paralyzed anyway. In my opinion, it's not sick, it's bewitched!"

"Anyway, since then we have felt that the little man is evil, and we were going to drive him out, but old man Chen picked him up and said he was short of an apprentice."

"After that, they didn't go down the mountain very much. The little man must hate us, and basically didn't come to the village! They lived on the mountain. They must not have much money, but there is still land on the mountain, so they should be able to make do with it."

"If you want to find them, just go up."

Yin Bei raised his eyebrows in surprise: "They..."

He paused, and didn't immediately tell them that one of the two was dead and the other was missing. He just asked, "Is there no one else on the mountain besides them?"

"No, who is free to come here." The old man waved his hand, "But the little man hasn't been down the mountain for a long time."

"I used to occasionally see the little mangy head down the mountain. He looks decent when he grows up, but those eyes still make people uncomfortable."

He asked his companion as if to prove, "Have you not seen it recently?"

Several people nodded one after another, saying that they hadn't seen each other for a while.

Yin Bei tilted his head: "Old man Chen, little mangy...are they all nicknames, right? Don't they have full names?"

"Full name..." The people present looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one could say it out.

Yin Bei's face was strange: "Don't you even have a household registration?"

"Who knows..."

Suddenly someone shouted: "No, Xiao Mantou is registered! The real estate company didn't come here to discuss the money, didn't they also go to the Taoist temple?"

"The mountain is such a large area. I was still thinking about how much money the two of them could share, so I asked a few words quietly. Who knew that person ignored me at all..."

Ao Jinyu reminded: "Going off topic!"

"Oh!" The old lady reacted, "Anyway, the share of the money depends on the household registration of the owner. Since the little man has a share, his household registration must be with old man Chen."

Yin Bei nodded slightly.

That's it, he was still curious why the person who raised the ghost didn't feed the old Taoist priest to the ghost in the pot, but trapped him in his own body. If the other person was his nominal "son", that might explain why this situation.

"I heard that the Taoist temple can distribute a lot of money." An old lady lowered her voice, "Didn't Old Man Chen come down from the mountain and ask the village chief? I heard that he just listened to the news from over there." The price is moved, and I want to persuade the village chief!"

Yin Bei seemed to ask casually: "It seems that the negotiation didn't work out?"

"That's not true." The old lady flattened her lips, "Business people are very smart, and they will benefit old man Chen first, and want him to coax us, but we are not stupid."

"They couldn't agree on a price, and they even found someone! If something happened, I'm afraid they still won't leave now..."

Ao Jinyu asked curiously, "What happened?"

The old lady was very talkative, and said mysteriously, "He's dead!"

"The manager of the real estate company fell into the river and disappeared! After several days of fishing, he didn't find anything!"

Yin Bei's expression was delicate: "Is there a river here?"

"Yes!" The old man became inexplicably proud. "In the past, the water here was so sweet that we didn't need to filter it! But recently, it's no longer the case, and the well water is not clean anymore..."

If the well water can be obtained, there is a great possibility that there is an underground river underneath.

Yin Bei remembered what Lord Long Ye said about "raising Gu", and his expression became more subtle. The Feng Shui in this village is really not very good.

"Didn't people catch it? Such a fast river?" Ao Jinyu was a little surprised, "Where is it?"

He was a little eager to try, after all, he was a dragon, and he could always get things that ordinary people couldn't get.

"The river is not in a hurry." The old lady muttered a few words, "It is reasonable to say that you can always find it downstream, but you can't find it after searching several times. It's very evil."

Yin Bei asked, "Did you call the police?"

"They called the police, but we don't call the police." The old man showed an angry expression, "They are in the same group as those people!"

Ao Jinyu pricked up his ears.

After asking a few questions, it turned out that there was a conflict with the real estate developer at the beginning, and several villagers who made a move were taken away and detained for a few days. Rumors of "collusion between government and businessmen" spread in this village.

"The manager is gone, they were going to catch the little man." An old man who had been smoking a cigarette suddenly said, and gave them a cold look, "That man had a problem with the little man before, I saw him After pushing old man Chen, the little man almost beat him."

"But the police have looked for the little man. He was in the supermarket in the town at that time. There was surveillance, and the manager screamed and rushed into the river while everyone was watching."

He laughed hoarsely, "The police don't think it was the little man who did it, but if you ask me, that little brat is a bit evil."

"It may not work if you ask him to do good things, but it may be impossible to ask him to do bad things."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for a reply, he stood up with a cigarette in his hand and left.

"Huh?" Ao Jinyu was a little surprised, and the old lady next to him waved her hand: "Don't pay attention to him, he is just like this."

Someone whispered: "But that kid is really evil..."

The old people basking in the sun were very interested in talking, and some of them told them a lot, but it seemed that there was nothing more useful to ask.

Ao Jinyu and Yin Bei gestured to bid farewell, Ao Jinyu touched his pocket, took out a piece of paper, wrote a series of numbers for them, and solemnly confessed: "If they still call thugs in the future, you should call this number. "

The old people looked at each other in blank dismay, and were suddenly bluffed by his aura, and asked in a low voice: "This...are you some kind of high official?"

"Ah?" Ao Jinyu was a little dazed, "I'm not!"

The old lady looked at the number on the paper: "Then this is?"

Ao Jinyu looked upright: "The anti-crime and evil hotline."

"Cough." Yin Bei quickly turned his head, pretending that he wasn't smiling just now.

Saying goodbye to the old man with a subtle expression, Ao Jinyu saw that there was no one around, and furtively pulled the hem of La Yinbei's clothes, with an eager expression on his face: "Shall we take a look at the river?"

"It's a seal, not a mermaid"

Liu Hai is a seal, the refined kind.

Because he became a spirit too early, he accidentally maintained the appearance of glutinous rice dumplings for 300 years, and finally ushered in the day when he crossed the thunder calamity and transformed into a human form. As a result, half of the transformation form was pierced by the thunder calamity.

Good news: Although he was physically weak after crossing, he succeeded in crossing the tribulation.

Bad news: he is stuck with a bug, and his half-human, half-seal appearance cannot be changed temporarily.

He got into the big fish tank of the research institute, surrounded by a group of strange humans. Their leader was a good-looking white coat with a scary aura. Although they beat him up and down as soon as they met, as long as he opened his mouth, fresh fish Let him choose, beautiful gems can be given to him as fish tank decorations.

Liu Hai decides to endure the humiliation, rolls around in a white coat with enthusiasm and love, trying to get through this period of weakness and run away.

Until one day, he found a label on the 500-square-meter fish tank where he lived——

Number 2231, Species: Mermaid.

A certain card bug mixed food and drink Seal: ...Damn, big misunderstanding!I'm going to run away after eating another [-] million meals!

The seal spirit who accidentally followed the white coat on TV: ... help.

Reporter: Dr. Jiang, do you have anything to say?How is the little mermaid doing now?Is it as expected?

Jiang Xun: Its physical condition is not very good, and its tail seems a little swollen.

Liu Hai looked at his round tail.

Jiang Xun: I don't know if it's a problem with the water quality. He has lost his scales, and he also picks up the scales of other fish and tries to stick them on himself. I'm afraid he has a low self-esteem.

Liu Hai once tried to paste some scales to pretend to be a mermaid: ...

Jiang Xun: It doesn't match the record, he sings very badly...

Liu Hai bumped into the big water tank angrily, Dr. Jiang, who is always unsmiling, smiled, and comforted him gently through the glass: Also, he is a little spoiled by me, and has a bad temper.So, you'd better not speak ill of him.
