Chapter 22 Xu Lai leaves
Still thinking that he was a customer, I ran to the door and saw the little boy from yesterday peering at the door. I suddenly remembered that in the early hours of yesterday morning, he had gone to the convenience store to look for a cat.
Could it be a white cat?
I was a little unsure whether the white cat was what he was looking for, and now that the white cat was dead and skinned, I didn’t dare to say anything. When I came to the door, I asked with a smile.
"Kid, why are you here? Do you want to buy something?"
"I'm not buying anything. I'm here to find my cat. Did you see it?" The kid couldn't hide his feelings. He looked at me expectantly and then explained: "My cat is a female cat.
"
Although I was 100% sure that the dead cat was the little boy's cat, I still pretended to be very interested and asked, "Yeah, don't worry, I'll tell you when I see it, right?"
Now, tell me what your cat looks like?"
"My cat is very beautiful, white and fluffy." The little boy explained with joy on his face, as if my question had given him hope.
When I heard this, I felt a thump in my heart. Looking at the little boy's face, I reached up and pinched it and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will tell you when I see it."
"Yes!" When the little boy heard this, he nodded solemnly, and then said to me gratefully: "Thank you, brother!" After saying that, the little boy turned around and ran away.
"Ha! What a smart kid!" I praised in my heart.
"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" Xu Lai said calmly.
"I can't say it." I also stopped thinking about joking, maybe I still didn't want to hurt a child's heart.
"For a child, being lost is as uncomfortable as being dead. If you don't tell him, maybe he will keep looking for it." Xu Lai finally swept away the takeaways and threw the garbage into the trash can.
He walked to the shelf and took out a black bag, "Here you go, keep it for self-defense."
After Xu finished speaking, he took out a mahogany sword from his pocket and handed it to me. From this angle, I saw that there were at least seven or eight swords in it.
"Well, can you leave two more for me?" I asked sheepishly. After all, this thing is for life-saving purposes, and the more, the better.
"Do you think it's Chinese cabbage? It's everywhere? I only found these after searching for a whole day today, and I cast a spell on them. The effect should be better. A handful is enough." Xu Lai curled his lips and said.
"Well, then! Anyway, you are here now, and I don't have anything to worry about as long as you are here." Seeing Xu Lai's painful look, I knew it was over.
"I'm afraid you have to rely on yourself for this." Xu Lai tied the bag again and carried it on his back. "Now the time is urgent and there is no time to waste. I will go back to Nanshan to bring my sister here now.
Just support yourself for a while."
"You want to leave?" I felt cold when I heard this. Now that Xu Lai is gone, I will be left alone. Why don't I be bullied to death by ghosts? I quickly shook my head and said to Xu Lai: "You want to
How long will it take to come back?"
"Maybe it will take two or three days." Xu Lai seemed to have noticed my concerns, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible. By the way, I estimate that there will only be one or two ghosts following us out.
, you should be careful and you should still be able to handle it."
"Here, how should I cope with this? No, I have to leave now. Let's just close the store first. This has nothing to do with me." I thought for a moment, shook my head, and rejected Xu Lai's suggestion.
.
"They have come out. It's too late for you to run away now. Unless they are eliminated, they will always follow you, so you'd better just stay here." Xu Lai said calmly, I knew he didn't lie to me.
.
"Well, what should I do now? I really can't do it." I was anxious. If I were really left here alone, let alone two or three days, I might be dead tomorrow morning without any parts of my body. "
Otherwise, just call your sister and ask her to come over."
I took out my mobile phone and handed it to Xu Lai, indicating that he should call her sister. He did not object. He took the mobile phone and dialed a number. After a while, he said to me: "Stop the computer."
Got it!"
"Why did it shut down?" I was a little confused. The last time I called was in the storage room, I could accept the lack of signal, but why did it shut down again this time?
"I don't know the specifics. Maybe she doesn't use it often. I'd better go back and have a look!" Xu Lai spread his hands and didn't give me a reasonable explanation.
"Did you press the wrong number? Come on, try again!" I was still a little unwilling and asked Xu Lai.
"The number I just dialed was Xu Qing's. It's not wrong. Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Xu Lai came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Okay, I still have a few charms here.
I’ll keep all the seals for you!”
After saying that, Xu Lai took out a stack of talismans and seals from his pocket. Looking at the stack of various talismans and seals, I was speechless and said helplessly: "Xu Lai, no, Brother Xu, give it to me."
This is useless, I can’t use it well.”
"What's the use? If you see a ghost, just stick it up and press it up." Xu Lai seemed to be tired of explaining to me, and said impatiently: "If that doesn't work, just stick it on yourself."
Wearing it on your body will at least keep you safe."
"Okay then!" I hesitated for a moment and took the talisman. Although I didn't know how to use it, it was better than nothing.
"Okay, then I'll leave first." Xu Lai waved his hand and disappeared into the darkness regardless of whether I wanted it or not.
The convenience store has returned to calm, but the silence makes me feel a little scary. At this time, I actually hope that there can be some sound.
"Meow!"
Just as I was thinking about it, a cat meowed suddenly from outside the door. I was so excited that I ran to the door and took a look, but found nothing.
Could it be that I was hallucinating? I looked at the empty convenience store and had a bad feeling in my heart.
I took out the talisman seals from my pocket, pasted two on the front desk, gritted my teeth, ran to the door of the storage room, and pasted two on the door handle, hoping this would be useful.
After finishing this, I felt relieved. I ran to the front desk and started working. However, there were no customers at this time. I stood for a while and then started tying.
Chapter completed!
