Heartbreaker

"Ah!" The woman caught by me screamed sharply, "I don't know, I really don't know anything!"

Damn it, does everyone just say they don't know?I grabbed the woman's skirt and stared at her with bloodshot eyes.She cried out loudly, I let go of her, stood to one side with a numb expression, and took out the newly filled water bag at my waist.

"Chichikov," I said, turning my back on him, "do it. Do everything you can to please me."

Chichikov sighed softly.I tied the crying woman to a chair, kicked over a row of prop racks, and there was a piercing sound of collapse.Chichikov moved his thin hand to the button of the woman's breast, and the woman screamed again.I sat aside, gulping down my blood.The blood was still warm, sour and viscous, and belonged to the mole ghost who was in the dungeon just now.The bag of blood was quickly drank by me, and I stared at the two in front of me, like a wild lion that had just eaten an elk, with blood on my lips and teeth.

"As long as you don't struggle too hard, it won't hurt too much. It won't be more painful than giving birth." The old man frowned and muttered. He hated the noise of the test product the most.The woman wept bitterly, and when she saw my dark face and blood-red mouth, there was nothing but despair in her eyes.

"We just want to know, as the owner of this store, did you see any suspicious guy enter the secret passage last night?" Chichikov took out a cold iron box from his coat, and pulled out A writhing black centipede.

"I told you I don't know!"

The woman screamed, and the black centipede had already crawled down her exposed chest and abdomen.She let out a childbirth scream and watched as the centipede burrowed into her navel and swelled under her skin like a pustules.

Chichikov waited until the centipede penetrated into the woman's body before he leisurely lit his pipe, "You know that. For people like us, 'don't know' is not an answer."

Taking advantage of the woman's sanity being taken over by the "hypnotic centipede", I calmly said, "Maybe it was Elliot's instruction."

Chichikov silently clicked on his cigarette holder. "I still want my eyes back." He paused and said to me, "You too, Lemon, belong to your empire."

I gritted my blood-stained teeth, "Not only the Empire. I want his life."

"Last night, around midnight..." At this time, the woman murmured like a dream, "I was lying on the counter, thinking that it was almost time to close the store. I locked the door, dragged out of my bed, and was about to Sleep in the house..."

I said coldly, "Sure enough, it's more than 'I don't know'."

The woman continued to roll her eyes and said, "I lay on the bed and blew out the candle. Just as I was about to close my eyes, a mysterious figure appeared in the darkness and walked to the switch of the secret passage..."

Chichikov narrowed his eyes and said persuasively, "Okay, good boy, tell me, what does that figure look like?"

"I don't know..." The woman shook her head lightly, "He is tall, slender and straight, covered with a black cloak, and his entire face is covered by a black hood, like a ghost floating in mid-air .I blinked, and when I concentrated again, I found that the shadow had disappeared. I thought it was my hallucination, so I fell asleep..."

After speaking, the woman fell unconscious on the chair.Chichikov drew the centipede from her body, put it back into the iron box, and cut the rope for the woman.

I said darkly, "It's not a hallucination, it's that damn thing has gone into the secret passage. Damn it."

Chichikov pondered, "According to this woman's description, I think that guy looks like..."

"Undead."

I spoke before him, and Chichikov fell silent.I clasped my fingers together, put them on my forehead, and said to myself coldly, "Luo wouldn't have the guts... Besides, he was with me last night. But maybe I can get some information from him—if that's His kind."

We walked out of the shop.The sun was pouring down hot on me, and I stared intently at the open windows of every house, rainbow curtains blowing in the wind, and the sweet smell of fresh pastries in the air.I licked my lips and swallowed the last bit of blood into my stomach.

Chichikov stood a certain distance away from me and said, "Do you feel better?"

"Ah. Like eating ten dead rats mixed with shit," I said. "When I get to Elliott, I'm going to strip him naked and put him on a table full of candles. Drain his blood, eat Clean his flesh, chew his bones, and wipe his mouth with a kerchief made of his hair."

When we got back to the Grass Flower Hotel, to my surprise, Emu and One-eyed Ai Er were waiting for me in the room.As soon as I came in, the two of them got up tensely, and the one-eyed Aiur said, "Lymon, Barbara is gone."

I glared at him, "Missing?"

Chichikov suddenly said, "She wasn't here last night." His piercing eyes swept back and forth on Broken Arm Emu and One-Eyed Ior, "About Head Van Went?"

Broken Arm Amu frowned and said, "Satan, just because of that little boy?"

I yawned wearily, "Don't be nervous, she often loses her nerves, wait a few days..."

"Lemon!"

My yawn was cut off by Luo's panicked calls.He suddenly floated in from the door, without even taking back his undead posture, his face turned pale with anxiety, "Barbara is on the stone sculpture at the end of Leaping Frog River, she wants to commit suicide! Popolo is trying to stop her!"

There seemed to be a broken string in my brain, and I yelled at Luo, "If she wants to jump, grab her! Can this bad thing be fixed?!"

As if hurt by my eyes, he said with a pale face, "I... I... As soon as I get close, she will jump, I dare not..."

"Damn it!" I picked up the knife angrily, and shouted while rushing out the door, "I want to see what tricks that bitch is up to!"

"Wait, Lemon!" Chichikov stopped me again, and said to the bewildered Luo, "Do you know why Barbara wants to die?"

"Ah! She was crying all the time, I only heard a little bit." Luo hurriedly said, as if impatient to do something, "She kept saying 'curse', and 'wizard', saying 'the curse can no longer be lifted '..."

As soon as this remark came out, Chichikov and I fell silent, and Luo looked at us uneasily.One-eyed Aiur suddenly asked, "Is the wizard who cursed Barbara dead?"

The broken-arm Emu stared wide-eyed, "Satan! Is everything she said true?!"

"Fucking Satan Lucifer..." I murmured, feeling a heap of shards pouring into my head like trash with shards of glass in it, "Take me to Barbara, Ro .”

****

Just a few feet from the Leaping Frog River, I saw Barbara crying like a slug holding a bronze frog statue, and Popolo jumping up and down like a monkey.Leaping Frog River is like a magic cloth that can conjure an abyss. The dark and viscous river flows quietly, as if someone has sprinkled several large bags of soot into it. I have no doubt that it can swallow life.

The eggshell monk was holding up the tattered Bible, anxious, as if the one lying on the statue was his God. "Barbara, the speck in your eye may be the log in someone else's eye! Believe me, today may be hard, but tomorrow will be worse! Thinking that tomorrow will be even more hopeless than today, what can't make it through today? !"

"Fart! Fucking fart!" she cried, in a voice that could shatter glass. "The wizard is dead! The wizard who cursed me is dead! What on earth have I lived for! Oh, with this Ugly face, this deformed body, people say, 'that dead dwarf', 'that ugly dwarf', everyone can spit in my face! Damn brat, damn old man! They both hide I killed wizards, they screwed everything up!"

"Barbara..." Luo floated in midair worriedly, trying to touch Barbara's deformed face from crying, "Don't be sad, Barbara. Everything will be fine."

Barbara screamed, "Go away! I don't need a dead man to pity me!"

"Yeah." I stood aside, with the handle of the knife on my back, watching her slapstick like watching a monkey show, "Anyway, you're going to become a dead person soon."

Barbara scolded, "Get out, Lemon Bone Spur! You bastard with no hair! It's all because of you! You're a hopelessly stupid piece of shit!"

I sneered, "If that's the case, why are you still arguing?" I took a few steps forward and stood under the copper frog.

"Even if Lemon Bone Spur is a bastard, an idiot, and a piece of trash, he's not going to seek death himself. It's you, a dwarf bitch who is so ugly that anyone can spit on it." I said, shaking the bone knife, pointing at the river, "jump."

Barbara opened her teary eyes wide.I heard Luo's terrified cry, "Lemon, don't provoke Barbara!"

"Jump! Don't you want to die!" I stared at her and yelled, "You fucking dance for me! Crying and screaming is a fart! If you want to die, die quickly! Don't dance Don’t even think about climbing down! If you dare to take a step back, I’ll cut off your leg!”

"God!" Popolo exclaimed in horror.Chichikov frowned behind me and said, "Hi, Lemon."

I heard myself sneering wantonly, "But before you die, don't you fucking forget me - you're a dwarf, you're a unwanted bitch! No matter how much you flaunt your head and put on airs, You are an ugly thing that everyone hates! You only deserve to like the scum like Head Van Went, and you have to accept the fate of throwing away like a rag! No one will spoil you anymore You, I heard that if you were an ugly monster, even if you died, you would not be able to change the reality that you were once an ugly monster! Keep it in my heart for the rest of my life!"

With a plop, Barbara jumped off the bronze frog statue like a bomb exploding on the surface of the water.I dropped the knife, rushed forward, jumped towards the place where she fell, and jumped into the river water that seemed to have stirred countless limes.

Satan!It's fucking cold! ——This is my first reaction when I fell into the water.The biting cold wrapped me up like a sharp cone piercing my bones, and the stinky river rushed into my nostrils and ear holes.Only then did I realize that I am not afraid of fire, but I am terrified of water, especially water that is as cold as if it had just melted from an iceberg.And it's still a mystery if I can fucking swim.It seems to be a memory from a long time ago, and the image is blurry, but the sinking fear has been engraved into my bone marrow.My body was as stiff as a piece of cast iron, and I kept sinking like a dead person. The surface of the Leapfrog River was as dirty as a rag, and I couldn't see the light reflected on the water curtain at all.

The bloody bitch!

The icy river squeezed my brain, and I heard the screams of my flesh, as insane as I was when I was killed.I scolded Barbara's ancestors for at least a dozen generations in my mind, and then I vaguely saw a figure struggling desperately behind the water curtain.Barbara spun like a top under the water, as if a weed had entangled her.

My stiff limbs regained strength suddenly, and every muscle in me roared and rattled.They were as full of anger as I was, as if the anger were themselves. 【Hold on, Lemon Bone Spur!There is nothing in this world worth your fear except yourself! ] I swam over to Barbara and grabbed her by the dress.She grabbed me like an overturned octopus.The sound of the water drowned out all the sounds and covered up all the light, but I seemed to see the fine lines on her face and heard her sigh, just like the first time I met her in Huapai Town many years ago. Sitting alone by the door of the brothel, smoking a cigarette.

Bam—!

At this moment, a heavy meteor hammer fell and exploded underwater like a firework.I realized that it was Eminem's weapon, so I dragged Barbara who was like a rock, grabbed the hammer chain, and pulled down two.

Broken-arm Amu shouted from the shore, "Okay! The big fish is hooked!"

With a puff, Barbara and I were dragged out of the water and fell to the ground limply like two dead fish.Luo hurriedly helped me up, the temperature on his body made me sneeze several times.

"Lymon! Lymon!" he called uneasily, and I glanced at him with my eyelids lifted.Satan, I really can't stand the temperature like being soaked in a glacier.I pushed Luo, who was as cold as a block of ice, and grabbed Popolo, who was screaming, and used it as a meat pad.

Barbara woke up soon, she looked around blankly, as if remembering something, she slapped me twice!

Damn, this stupid woman knows her prestige now.

"Damn boy, who asked you to save it! Who told you to save it! Just meddle in your own business!" She cried and cried, two lines of tears rolled down her ugly face, With a grin, he was out of breath from crying.

I spit out a mouthful of river water in my mouth onto her face, glanced at her with a blurred vision, and said, "Ugly, how does it feel to die once?"

Barbara wailed, "You hell-deserving thugs! You bastards who stink worse than horse manure!"

"You almost got me, Barbara! What the hell is wrong with being ugly?!" Broken-arm Eminem yelled angrily, "You are so fucking ugly, we are the ones who are blind, not you! We still Didn't say anything, you fucking suck!"

Barbara cried as if her heart, liver and lungs were about to be spit out of her mouth in the next second.She opened her mouth and whimpered a few words, then rubbed my face that was swollen and swollen with her hands, hugged me with two stubby arms, and the warm tears melted with the river water in my skirt.

"If you want to die, no one can stop you. Similarly, if you want to live." I quietly looked at her wet hair and said, "Why do you think you have lived so far?"

She looked up, looking at me with teary eyes.I rambled, "Don't say I just said some shit. You taught me that."

****

The farce ended like this. Apart from shivering from the cold, I also felt dizzy from time to time.The apology in Luo's eyes deepened, as if I was stung by an ant because of his dereliction of duty.

We got back to the Grass and Blossoms, and Lame, sitting at the gate, groaned when we brought Barbara back.Later, Chichikov told me, "Barbara got the news of the wizard's death from the female boss. This morning, as soon as we left, we left."

"Yeah." I sat in the hot water bucket, feeling the dense heat and the gentle washing of the water, and leaned comfortably on the edge of the bucket.As soon as Luo came back, he didn't know why he was depressed, so he huddled in a corner and went to read.

"By the way, that wizard's curse." Qiqi Kefu paused and said, "Is that really the case, Lemon?"

I slowly opened my eyes, "The wizard is dead, and there is no way to take back the curse, so we can only let it go away." I straightened up and asked, "Did the wizard say the conditions for recovery?"

"The wizard's curse was for the loyalty of the person Barbara loved." Chichikov said, "He said that man didn't love you at all. Barbara didn't think so, so he turned him into an ugly monster, saying 'If you are like this, he is willing to marry you, and the curse will be lifted'."

I looked up at the ceiling, "I see. That bastard who turned his back on him was Head Van Went, right?"

Chichikov said, "Barbara did go to find Fan Went after she was cursed back then, and then she..."

He leaned over to my ear and said a few words.I closed my eyes and let out a slow breath.

Chichikov resumed smoking his pipe, "What do you want to do?"

"What else can I do?" I lowered my whole body into the water, a string of bubbles popped out, and I came out again, laughing loudly, "Craps should end up with craps!"
