Excerpts:
I reconnected with the female classmate I hadn't seen for a long time, and gradually became a good friend who talked about everything.
But when I asked her what had happened to her over the years to become a completely "different person", she asked me a strange question.
"Do you believe that there are gods in this world?"
At first, I didn't know why, until by chance, I saw a shrine in her room dedicated to the gods.
But the shrine was not dedicated to a god, but to a strange statue wrapped in a red cloth.
And on top of the red cloth, I smelled blood......
01
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and looked back at Summer, who was sleeping on all sides in bed, with a band-aid stuck to her long, white fingers.
To confirm my suspicions, I walked briskly to the bed, took Summer's hands and looked at them carefully for a while.
Sure enough, on each of her fingers, there were traces left by the scabbing of the wound.
I finally understood why there were no offerings on the table, because the offerings needed to worship this "god" were summer's own blood!
At this moment, in the middle of a room filled with sandalwood, I can't help but feel a chill down my back.
It needs to be worshiped with blood, will it really be a god?
Thinking of this, an urge suddenly sprung up in my heart, that is, to destroy this strange statue, I don't want Summer to be contaminated with anything evil and cause and effect.
But after all, this is a summer thing, and I don't know the truth yet, so I can only temporarily press the impulse in my heart, gently cover the quilt for Summer, and leave Summer's apartment quickly.
02
I tossed and turned that night, never able to sleep, all I could think about was the statue wrapped in red cloth, and finally I don't know how long it took before I closed my eyes in a daze.
The next day was the weekend break, and I was woken up by a voice call before dawn, and as soon as I connected it, the voice of summer was slightly apprehensive from the other end of the phone.
"Last night...... You sent me back?"
I was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I've seen it all, tell me, what's going on?"
Summer on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, but finally told me everything.
It turned out that after experiencing the successive blows of his parents' divorce and failing the college entrance examination, his life in the summer fell to the bottom, and the four years of college were spent in a mess.
After graduating, she found her first job, but because she was too introverted and extremely lacking in self-confidence, she passed by every good opportunity, as if those things were not supposed to belong to her.
Since then, Summer, like her mother, feels that all the hardships she has endured are her own fate, and she was born with a doomed ending.
So she became discouraged in life, and finally was fired from the company, and in the summer of discouragement, she chose to return to her hometown.
I thought that my mother would blame her for not being angry like before, but this time her mother seems to be a different person, no matter what she does, she is in a hurry.
Summer wondered about this until her mother took her into the room and saw the shrine on the offering table, and the eerie statue enshrined in the shrine.
03
Her mother said that this is a "fox fairy", which is particularly effective, not only can give people protection, but also help people change their lives against the sky.
In the summer, when she was hopeless about everything, she went to a small shop in the middle of nowhere, where there was a "Huang Banxian" dressed as a Taoist priest.
Unexpectedly, just a face, that Huang Banxian blurted out the current predicament encountered in the summer, claiming that this is a bad fate in the summer, destined to be a difficult life, and the road ahead is bumpy.
So, in the summer, he spent nearly all his savings, about 10,000 yuan, and also invited back a fox fairy.
If you want to worship this fox fairy, you must worship the incense sincerely every day, and then feed it with your own blood as an offering, the longer you worship, the more pious your heart is, and the more effective the fox fairy will be.
Originally, it was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but not long after I was invited back to Huxian, a new job opportunity fell from the sky, so I came to Shenzhen in the summer.
Since then, the fox fairy has been worshiped every day in the summer, and the work has become more and more handy, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted and raised, and he became more and more cheerful and confident.
She began to have the courage to express herself and be able to face any problem with ease, because she believed in the existence of the fox fairy, and with the blessing of the fox fairy, her originally gloomy life had already been changed.
Therefore, she is not afraid of any trials and difficulties, she believes that her future is destined to be bright, and everything can be solved.
With life going well, she has no doubt about the fox fairy.
It can be said that it is precisely because of inviting back the fox fairy that she can say goodbye to her past self and usher in a new life.
At the end of the past, Summer was very excited on the other end of the phone: "The fox fairy is real, it helped me change my life!"
04
Hearing this, my whole body seemed to be immersed in the icy lake water, and I felt that summer was already a little magical.
I originally wanted to persuade her to throw away the evil fox fairy, but thinking of this summer's psychological state, it is obvious that this kind of persuasion will only backfire.
So I changed my mind and claimed that I also wanted to change my life, hoping that I could take me to invite a fox fairy in the summer.
Hearing my request, Summer seemed very excited and excited, and said that I should have gone to invite the fox fairy home a long time ago.
After making an appointment, I took two days of annual leave with the company, and embarked on a journey back to my hometown to invite the fox fairy with the summer.
On the way, Summer came to my side and whispered to me, telling me to pay attention to politeness after seeing Huang Banxian, otherwise not only would I not be able to return to the fox fairy, but I would also bring disaster to myself.
Looking at Summer's serious expression, I felt a little distressed for no reason, nodding yes on the surface, but already angry in my heart.
I went back to my hometown this time just to see what kind of means the legendary Huang Banxian had to invite so many fox immortals to "bless" the world.
After a few hours of driving, we returned to our hometown of the small county, and in the summer I wanted to go home to put my luggage, but I couldn't hold it anymore, so I pulled her and walked to the old town.
Guided by the summer, we came to the shop with a half-immortal retreat.
But the moment I saw the store, not only was I stunned, but even Summer stayed where I was.
05
Because that small shop has been converted into a noodle shop.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia explained in a somewhat strange tone: "It may be that Huang Banxian has changed his address." ”
After saying that, she walked forward quickly and walked to the proprietress who was resting at the door of the noodle shop.
"Handsome guy, beautiful woman, what to eat?"
"Eldest sister, I want to ask you something, do you know where Huang Banxian's store has moved?"
"Huang Hanxian?"
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"Oh, you said yellow lame?"
"What yellow cripple?"
"You don't know, hey, isn't it the yellow cripple who sells fox fairies, that's a big liar, a shabby thing made of mud, he dares to sell it for tens of thousands of yuan, and his heart is very black!"
I saw that Summer's face gradually turned pale, and her lips trembled to the point that she could no longer speak, so I could only help her continue to ask.
"Eldest sister, what about him now?"
"It's been two years since I was imprisoned, and a car of police rushed down, and I took him away, don't you know, a few years ago, someone came to his store to make trouble, saying that he lied to people, and broke his leg, so we called him Huang Cripple. ”
As she spoke, the proprietress looked at me and Summer and suddenly lowered her voice.
"You are also here to buy the fox fairy? Alas, you are young, don't be deceived, that fox fairy is a liar, if you want to believe it, just believe in the sheep fairy, people can not only open the eyes of the sky, but also help you change your life!"
"Sheep Fairy Gu?"
"Yes, it worked, I took a fancy to this store at that time, but Huang Cripple refused to let go, and then I worshiped Yang Xiangu, guess what, within a few days, Huang Cripple was arrested by the police!"
Looking at the pious proprietress in front of me, and then at the pale summer around me, there was obviously no wind passing by the street, but I still felt a little cold inexplicably.
