Modern Story: Agarwood

I don't know when it started, or what city or street it was, on a night when there were no stars, no moon, and no wind, people went out and walked along the dark steps, and when the steps disappeared, they would step on a bluestone path.

Next to the path, the black pressed houses looked like a demon beast waiting to eat people. The path turns a corner, and suddenly a light appears, illuminating a strange building that looks like a shop, and the door door is written with three powerful characters of "Agarwood".

It is said that if a person makes up his mind, he will find Shen Champs. The following is the story of the Agarwood that happened to them.

1. Zhao Nana's butterfly

The Agarwood Is an old house that looks a little old, and the three gilded characters on the door plaque have been mottled and peeled off, leaving only black log grooves. The carved gate is hidden.

A schoolgirl named Nana stood in the doorway, looking hesitant, or not to go in? About this mysterious shop, she heard from her sister, who heard that incredible things can be bought here, and her sister ran here to buy the magic medicine of the sunken Champs and got the man she wanted.

At this time, the door "squeaked" open, and a handsome man in his thirties came out, as if he did not expect Nana to stand in the doorway, first showing a look of surprise, and then smiling, greeting Nana: "Aren't you tired of standing there?" Why not come in and sit down? He must have been the shopkeeper, and his voice was so nice that Nana felt a little relieved and followed him into the room.

"I... Want to buy that... Medicine, that is, the kind that attracts men. Nana said hesitantly. Behind her, wisps of light smoke were rising from the sandalwood incense burner, and the sweet smell of the air filled the air.

The shopkeeper always had a smile in his eyes: "Miss, you are talking about 'fish tears', right?" I'm sorry, but all of our items here are unique and once sold, there are no more. ”

Nana was very disappointed, and the owner of the shop saw the situation and busily suggested, "Miss, in fact, we have other goods to choose from, or you can..."

The sweet smell in the air grew stronger, and Nana didn't seem to listen to anything, and said hatefully, "If only that woman died!" ”

The owner's face is still the most intimate and charming smile. "Miss, we have a kind of goods called the butterfly, which has evolved from the domestication of Hmong women, and it can make anyone you hate die quietly... And the use of the butterfly is very simple, just use your blood to drip on its eggs, it will be awakened, and then, put it into the water that the person you want to deceive is drinking, it will enter the body, it will grow completely, so that your enemy will live worse than death. ”

Nana happily took the delicate little bottle in the owner's hand and walked out of the agarwood.

That night, as usual, the girls in the dormitory went to the weekend dance again, leaving only Xiao Ai. Nana pushed open the bedroom door wearily, and a person rolled over and climbed onto the top bunk. At this time, Xiao Ai in the lower bunk did not know how to hand over two pills and a glass of water: "Your cold is not good, you still have to take medicine once." Nana was furious and waved a blow, the cup shattered in response, and the hot water splashed all over Xiao Ai's face.

"You faceless thing! Who is the drama for? I see you as rural, poor at home, pitiful to you everywhere, taking care of you, giving you clothes, teaching you makeup, treating you as the best sister. But you know that I like Ah Wei for 3 years, and even rob me! Okay, you're fierce enough, you wait, if I don't pick you up, I won't call Zhao Nana! Xiao Ai covered her face and cried, and a cold look suddenly appeared on Nana's face.

In the middle of the night, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and Nana quietly got up. She gently twisted the lamp to a slight brightness, took out the delicate vial, and when she opened it, she cut her fingers and dripped blood on the black sphere the size of Rendan inside the bottle. After the blood dripped on the egg, it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. After doing all this, Nana put the black sphere into the cup of boiling water on Xiao Ai's table.

The next morning, Xiao Ai drank all the water in the cup and went out to class. In class, Xiao Ai was a little confused, and suddenly, a sharp sharp pain came from her chest. Xiao Ai stood up with his chest covered and sat down with a miserable face.

At night, Xiao Ai was listlessly freshening up in the water room, and suddenly, she saw in the mirror that under her bare collarbone skin, there was a noticeable bulge, like a squirming bug. Xiao Ai was frightened and scattered, at this time, she felt the skin of her whole body squirm, she slammed open her clothes, and sure enough, there were worm-like things under the skin of her whole body, drilling around. Frightened, Xiao Ai screamed and kept hitting her body, and the class teacher who heard the news was helpless, so she had to find two boys and send her to the school hospital.

For the first three days in the hospital, Xiao Ai also felt bugs crawling under her skin. This feeling made her very frightened and tried to poke the bugs with a hairpin. This made her a closely guarded patient, with all the sharp objects taken away from her, and the school hospital was contacting the city's psychiatric hospital, ready to turn her around when her parents arrived.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, when Xiao Ai woke up, he found that there was no feeling of squirming on his body. She rushed to the mirror excitedly, but everything in front of her stunned her. The places where the "bugs" crawled were all formed into "cocoons" one by one, and they were still slowly expanding, as if they were going to crawl out of her body. Xiao Ai cried out bitterly, and broke the mirror with his fist, and blood was splashed everywhere. Desperately, she grabbed the shards of glass and cut the cocoon on her neck... Fortunately, the nurse who had rounded the room found Xiao Ai who had cut the carotid artery with broken glass and saved her life.

In those days, there was a lot of discussion in the school, saying that Xiao Ai was completely crazy, and some said that she had a big life and picked up a life.

Only Zhao Nana was silent, hurriedly put away the books and returned to the bedroom. She was a little confused in her heart, wasn't she going to kill Xiao Ai? Isn't the effect of the butterfly yet fully exerted? Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound above her head, and she slowly looked up, and the sight in front of her surprised her, and her face was twisted with fright...

After a while, the roommates all returned. The scene in the dormitory made them scream loudly: Nana's body was densely covered with butterflies, which stretched out larger than the palms of adults. The terrified screams of the girls caused the butterflies to scatter. The police examined the scene carefully and found that Nana had suffocated to death.

Zhao Nana's story is over. At this moment, under the sunset, in the agarwood pavilion, the young shopkeeper leaned out to look at the sky, and an old voice came from the back hall: "Xiang Wu, what did you sell a few days ago?" Is it a butterfly? Have you taught people how to use it? That thing is very dangerous, and when the eggs are feathered into butterflies, the person who is deceived cannot die, and the butterflies will eat their masters. Forget it, anyway, those who use this thing are not good people..."

The young shopkeeper, who was called Xiangwu, remained silent, with a smile on his lips, and gently closed the door of the Agarwood Pavilion.

A thousand-faced man

Fang Fang is a model in the city. On this day, she went to participate in the audition for the new play of the famous director Su Zhou. The script of this play was written by Su Zhou himself, and it is said that it was his dream for many years, so it was extremely important. From costume stylists to lighting musicians, all of them are selecting top figures at home and abroad, the drama has not yet started filming, media reporters have been working day and night, a little wind and grass can also be on the headlines of the newspaper, there is a great momentum of unaired first.

The heroine is set in a red singer in Shanghai during the Republic of China. After Fang Fang came on, she sang an old song of mourning. After knowing that after singing, Su Zhou slowly shook his head and said, "Miss, you are very beautiful, but you are fashionable and beautiful, and your silhouette is also very Westernized." My heroine should be mournful, classical, and can never look away at a glance. Sorry, you're not the ideal person in my mind. ”

In the evening, Fang Fang, who came out of the audition room, was in a terrible mood, and was extremely disappointed, and she looked confused and walked along a street, and unconsciously walked to an old house. A strange young man invited her to come in and sit down. Fang Fang was a little tired, so she followed him in. After entering the house, Fang Fang looked around, here should be an antique shop, the layout and style of the whole room are antique, carved beams and paintings, rosewood pillars, clear glass windows display large and small brocade boxes and bottles.

The owner Xiang Wufang poured a glass of whiskey. He always smiled and didn't say a word, but he didn't know why, but Fang Fang wanted more and more to confide in him about the troubles she had encountered.

"You know what? I'm a model, a model who has been. I used to be really popular, but was quickly eliminated. Now, I haven't worked for two months. Fang Fang smiled bitterly and drank the wine out of the glass, and Xiang Wu silently filled it for her.

"I also want to change careers and learn from others to be actors, but those directors either think I'm too tall, or that my silhouette is too three-dimensional and too Westernized." And now, whether it is the modeling industry or the film and television circle, there are beautiful women with oriental characteristics, what should I do? Going for a facelift? Who can guarantee success? Even if it is successful, what if this type of appearance is not popular? Fang Fang took another big sip of wine with hatred.

"Maybe, I can help you." Xiang Wu spoke slowly, and a mysterious smile appeared in his eyes.

"You? How can you help me? Fang Fang's eyes widened.

"We just happen to have a product in our shop called 'Thousand Faces'. As long as you put it on, whoever sees you will feel that you are the most beautiful woman in his or her mind. The young shopkeeper was still smiling. Fang Fang thought about it, the smell of rosewood in the air made her a little dizzy, she took out her credit card without hesitation, and used all the remaining savings to buy this thing called "Thousand Faces".

When leaving the Agarwood Pavilion, the owner Xiang Wu specifically instructed: "To use our goods, we must strictly follow some procedures." The mask in the box can only be worn for 3 days at a time, and after 3 days, you must remove it and put it in the box overnight before wearing it. Remember, remember! ”

After returning home in the evening, Fang Fang opened the brocade box with the three words "Shen Xiang Xie" written on it, and gently picked up the contents inside. It was a thin mask, the shape of a human face, and the fingers felt like they were caressing the skin of a baby.

Fang Fang tried to attach it to her face, and suddenly, as if it had a life, the mask quietly covered her entire face, and then it was watertightly glued to Fang Fang's skin.

Fang Fang stood still for half a day, and finally came back to her senses and walked to the mirror. What a perfect face the mirror reflected: dark eyebrows flew obliquely into the sideburns, a few strands of messy hair fell on the snow-white skin, and the facial features were exquisite to the point of invulnerability. Fang Fang covered her face and fell down in front of the mirror in surprise.

The next morning, after Fang Fang woke up, she decided to use the "Thousand Faces" to try her luck at the hotel where director Su Zhou was staying.

When Su Zhou saw Fang Fang in the hotel lobby, he was stunned. He felt that the heroine in his mind had traveled through time and space and the sea of people, and walked to his eyes alive.

Fang Fang, dressed in a brocade cheongsam with flowers on a black background, stood gracefully in front of the hotel lobby, as if waiting for someone, looking left and right, her eyebrows flowed, but there was an inexplicable detachment.

Su Zhou felt his throat tighten, and somewhat stiffly approached Fang Fang's face, using his best efforts to make his tongue not knotted: "Are you willing to be my heroine?" ”

When she went home at night, Fangfang's mood was still worried. She finally signed her name on the contract of Su Zhou's new play and became his heroine.

Thanks to this mysterious mask, Fang Fang gently rubbed three times before and after the two ear roots, and the mask as thin as a cicada's wing fell down. Fang Fang carefully put the mask into the golden box of Agarwood and locked it.

Su Zhou is a very efficient person, and within a few days, Fang Fang participated in the filming of the film. Fast forward five months and everything is going well.

Su Zhou paid special attention to Fang Fang, taking care of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. One day in the fifth month, Fang Fang quietly moved into the room next to Su Zhou in the hotel according to Su Zhou's hint, and the bedrooms of the two suites were connected by a secret door. That night, Su Zhou came through the secret door and climbed into Fangfang's bed.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed. During this period, Fang Fang often felt uncomfortable on her face, but she never took off her mask again, because every night, she was afraid that Su Zhou would come from the secret door at any time, and she could not let Su Zhou see her former appearance. In that case, everything she has now will be finished.

On this day, it is the celebration dinner of this movie that will definitely become popular, and all the celebrities who have come are seen in the world. But when everyone saw Fangfang, they couldn't help but lose their minds for a moment. Several billionaires with a net worth of over 100 million yuan even competed for her courtesy, which made Su Zhou greatly dissatisfied. Ke Fangfang couldn't take care of this, and the magnesium lamp and champagne made her excited and excited. Her blood was churning, almost burning.

The music of the dance sounded, and Su Zhou went straight to Fang Fang and held out his hand to her. Fang Fang smiled and put her hand in the palm of his hand. The two were preparing to enter the dance floor when suddenly, amid the exclamations of the crowd, Fang Fang fell softly without warning.

By the time Su Zhou hurriedly sent Fang Fang to the hospital for examination, it was already late at night. He leaned over Fangfang's bed and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Fang Fang slowly sat up from the hospital bed. She crept around Su Zhou, her face tingling as she reminded her that she hadn't taken off her mask for two months.

She took the taxi home as fast as she could and rushed into her room. At this moment, her face was more than just tingling, as if something was tightly clamping her entire head, and even breathing was difficult.

Fang Fang locked the door and immediately rubbed the root of her ear, but no matter how hard she rubbed it, the mask did not fall off. The feeling of suffocation grew stronger, and she struggled to get to the mirror and saw a face in the mirror that was distorted and deformed by excessive tension. She opened her mouth in pain, and there was no sound, and no fresh air came in. Watching the whole mask keep shrinking, first of all, the bridge of the nose snapped and broken, the cheeks were also deeply sunken in, and finally cracked under the heavy pressure, bursting out of the flesh and blood.

This is Fangfang's story. A new day begins, and the owner Xiang Wu opens the door to let the sun shine into the ancient agarwood, and the boxes in the glass windows shine brightly. He casually picked up a newspaper today, and the headline read: The protagonist of Su Zhou's new play died violently, and the corpse's face was fragmented. Xiang Wu frowned, sighed softly, and put down the newspaper.

At this time, a girl was hesitantly probing into the store, and a kind and charming smile appeared on her face: "Good morning, welcome." Girl, what do you need? ”

Pei Yu's puppet worm

Pei Yu was a handsome, proud, wealthy man, and there was never a shortage of women around him. But he was a staunch celibacy.

Until he met Xin Lan, her appearance changed Pei Yu's world. Pei Yu fell madly in love with her, and on the day of the proposal, Pei Yu solemnly said to Xin Lan: You are the only woman I have ever loved. After marriage, their feelings are not only not cold, but also grow day by day.

Until one day a year later, Xin Lan began to feel weak and his eyes turned black. When she went to the hospital to check, she learned that she had a rare disease, and people with this disease would become more and more tired and sleepy until they slowly died in their sleep. Pei Yu frantically sought medical treatment, but did not save Xin Lan, who stopped breathing in a sleep half a year later.

The stubborn Pei Yu refused to send Xin Lan to be buried, but insisted on placing her on the big white bed at home, so that he could still see his beloved woman all the time.

This was the third day after Xin Lan's death, and there was a light rain outside, and it was windy. Pei Yu got up and closed the window, returned to the bedroom, sat down weakly in front of the dresser, and picked up a broken diary. This diary is a relic of Xin Lan, the first half of the book has been torn off, leaving only the last diary, dated November 20 of this year, three days before Xin Lan's death.

"I went to the Agarwoods again, but the medicine that would save my life still hadn't arrived. The shopkeeper Xiang Wu said that there was another medicine that could save me, but it had to wait until I died of exhaustion before I could use it, and the method of use was very complicated. I decided to wait any longer, God forbid I could wait until then. Pei Yu silently read this text over and over again, and made a decision in his heart.

That night, Pei Yu braved the heavy rain and walked out. He didn't know where The SengKagye was, and asked every passer-by on the street, and everyone shook their heads in confusion. He walked around the streets irritably, and when he felt desperate, there seemed to be a mysterious traction that led him to an old house, and the light under the eaves reflected the three words "Agarwood".....

Pei Yu rushed out of the heavy rain and pushed the door open, and before Xiang Wu, who was startled, could speak, he hurriedly said, "Give me something that can bring me back to life, anything will do."

The shopkeeper Xiang Wu's eyebrows shrugged up in surprise and turned and walked toward the back hall. Pei Yu came to the chair in front of the counter and sat down tiredly. After a while, Xiang Wu came to Pei Yu holding a black brocade box, which contained a black pill the size of a projectile. "What is this?" Pei Yu looked up and asked. "Puppet worm." Xiang Wu's answer was still simple and neat. Xiang Wu also told Pei Yu that the use of the puppet worm was very complicated, and it could not be revived immediately. In the earliest stages of entering the human body, it is only a parasite that manipulates human activity. During this period, the resurrected human body has no perception, no thought, only animal instincts.

But the biggest function of the puppet worm is to make the corpse 'come alive'. After a month, when her breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature have returned to normal, she will use another drug.

Xiang Wu then handed Pei Yu a crystal clear bottle with dark brown powder inside. This is a special drug made by Agarwood, and when the puppet worm smells this, it will leave the human body, and at that time, the talent will be truly 'resurrected'. "Remember, after 30 days, no matter how well she recovers, make sure to let her smell the bottle. Otherwise, things get out of hand. Xiang Wuyi uncharacteristically put away his smile and repeatedly told Pei Yu, who was about to leave.

The puppet worm really saw the results, and on the first day of giving Xin Lan to take it, after a while, Xin Lan, who had been dead for a long time, slowly sat up from the bed! Her cheeks were still beautiful and pale, without the slightest hint of blood, expressionless and motionless. Pei Yu reached out at the end of her nose, there was already a slight breath, but the body was still cold, no matter what, Pei Yu's heart finally let go, and his face was full of smiles.

After this, Pei Yu stayed at home, did not even go to the company, and concentrated on taking care of his baby-like wife at home. Except for eating and sleeping, Xin Lan did not have any other needs. Initially she could only eat some liquid foods, but after a few days she was able to eat a lot of food. Unlike Xin Lan, who used to love vegetarian food, she now prefers meat. On this day, as usual, Pei Yu put the warm milk on his wife's bedside and stroked her cheek as usual, and her body temperature and breath were significantly strengthened. Pei Yu bowed her head and kissed her forehead, just now the secretary called and said that the company had a very important matter and he must personally deal with it. Fortunately, Xin Lan usually sleeps during the day and wakes up late in the afternoon. If you hurry up, there should be no problem to rush back before the evening. Just in case, Pei Yu still locked the door when he left. By the time Pei Yu finished dealing with the company's affairs, it was already dark. He hurried home in his car. When he pushed open the bedroom door, the scene in the room left the tightly messy bed empty in his heart.

At this time, a small noise came from the kitchen and Pei Yu was shocked and rushed over. He was taken aback by what he saw. Xin Lan was expressionlessly devouring the "Dragon Eye Red" in the half-cut goldfish tank!

Pei Yu kept telling herself that she was doing this because she was too hungry. But when he saw Xin Lan walking by like a living dead, he was still a little scared in his heart. At this time, there were still seven days left before the thirty-day deadline, and Pei Yu decided to keep his wife inseparably until she was truly resurrected.

After Pei Yu bought back a large bag of food, he unplugged the telephone line at home, turned off the mobile phone, and locked the door again.

The six days were spent calmly and wavelessly, Pei Yu took care of Xin Lan every day to eat and sleep, bathed her and wiped herself, although she did not react, she was also meek and obedient. And her breathing, pulse and body temperature are all exactly the same as normal people.

On the night of the sixth day, after Pei Yu had finished all the things, he decided to take a hot bath, and he immersed his whole body deeply in the warm water of the bathtub, thinking happily: "Tomorrow, Xin Lan will really return to himself." However, the moment he stepped out of the bathtub, an accident occurred, and the water stains on the ground made the soles of his feet slip and lose his balance. In a hurry, he reached out and grabbed it, but the huge inertia caused him to tear off the iron frame for the towel, and his tall body fell backwards fiercely.....

I don't know how long later, the sharp pain in the head made Pei Yu wake up from the coma. As he fell, his hip slammed heavily against the edge of the bathtub, and the broken iron frame slammed into his forehead. The sharp edges of the iron frame made a large opening in his head. He reached out and touched it, and his hand was covered with blood.

Pei Yu wanted to move his body, but his lower limbs were unconscious. He immediately realized that his spine might be damaged, and there was a panic in his heart. He struggled desperately to move toward the bathroom door, but his body did not listen. The wound on his head cracked open as a result of the struggle, and blood gushed out. Before he could move to the bathroom door, he fainted again.

Pei Yu woke up in a semi-comatose state and fell into a deep sleep. The sky seemed bright and dark again. There was the sound of things being turned in the living room, and he knew that Xin Lan was awake and looking for something to eat, but he couldn't move.

When he woke up for the last time, xin Lan's still expressionless face was in front of him. With her lifeless eyes, she stared at Pei Yu woodenly. A chill rose from the soles of Pei Yu's feet.

After half a moment, Xin Lan suddenly and slowly leaned down and gently licked the blood on his face. Fear and nausea struck Pei Yu's heart, and he pushed her to the ground with all his might. Xin Lan sat up silently and slowly, sticking out his tongue to lick the remaining blood stains at the corners of his lips, and a greedy light shot out of his eyes.

Pei Yu finally realized that the woman in front of her was no longer Xin Lan, she was not even a "person", just a bug.

"It" approached Pei Yu again, looking at the prey in front of him...

No one knew Pei Yu's fate yet. On that street, in the late night of the Incense Floor, the lights were still on. In the agarwood elysees of peddling desire, the owner Xiang Wu opened the customer list, and in a long list, the two words "Xin Lan" were in sight. In the "Items Purchased" column, fill in "Black Musk Essence". The "Remarks" column is filled in with explanations: after use, you can make the recipient of the technique fall in love, concentrate on single-mindedness, and it is difficult to leave for a moment.

The old man's voice came from the back hall again: "Xiang Wu, you go tomorrow to take back the puppet worm." Also, the fifth aunt let you run a trip to find the materials needed to develop 'Lover's Grass', and the customer was in a hurry. ”

The shopkeeper Xiang Wu had a smile on his face and agreed as he carefully put away the name book. At this time, the night was deeper, and the faint cries of cats were heard in the distance, and they were interrupted by the rushing footsteps, and the new guests of Shen Xiang xie had already stepped onto the bluestone path. #Story##头条 #
